FROM Nova SCOTIA TO New ZEALAND
The Maori chiefs and aboriginal New Zealand

to Grant and Seymour, and Grant, we guess,
as usual, will have the Northern advantage Of
success. We submit our extracts from Daniel

by application to any sachem Of Tammany
Hall, though we cannot perceive how such
things are to help the cause of Seymour.

The Southern Firc.Eaters Drawing Oh.
We have published accounts Of interviews
with such representative Southerners as
General Forrest, and given reports of speeches
made by General Wade Hampton and others,
explaining and toning down their ill-judged
and bad-tempered remarks on their return
home from the Tammany Convention. II is
plain to be seen that these fre-eaters are
drawing of. They have witnessed the folly of
attempting to ''fre the Southern heart" which
is dead as flint at this time, without having
the proper steel, and begin to realize that
instead they have touched hostile chord in
Northern sentiment which vibrates through
out the East and West. Now they wish to
back out, draw off, deny their own words, "bite
up" But it is too late. Their retraction is of
no consequence. They cannot remove the
odium of those speeches. The Southern demo-
Gratis have won elephants in Wade Hampton,
Forrest, Bob Toombs, Howell Cobb, Ben Hill
and the rest of that sort of people, who are
none the less unserviceable because they are
white. The North, East and West will settle
the business of the Presidential election, and
that will be in favor of Grant by majority
that will serve as lesson and a rebuke to
those Southern Hotspurs who would ruin
rather than they shall not rule

General Dana MS a Peace Maker.
We see that our contemporary, ex-Assistant
Secretary of War Dana, has armed himself with
the olive branch and has gone heartily into
the business of negotiating peace everywhere
and between everybody. During the war he
had his armor on and waved the flaming sword
of discord. Now he has shut the doors of the
temple of Janus, proclaims peace and is
busily engaged in negotiating treaties of amity
among oil the politicians. Does he envy
Greeley the laurels won in his famous peace
mission to Canada, when he endeavored to
make fraternal compromise with Jake Thomp-
son, George Sanders, Beverly Tucker,
Clement Clay ct a., and does he desire to
enter into a generous rivalry with the head
pacifcator Of the Tribune? Dana evidently,
however, wants to make his olive branch the
precursor of the laurel, for he has established
himself as the negotiator between all the politi
cal belligerents Having labored hard for the
nomination of Griswold for Governor, he is
now pleading for the election of his opponent,
Hoffman. No matter which candidate wins,
Dana appears determined that there shall be
peace between them and the parties they
represent if his benefcent endeavors can
accomplish 1t. With the same view he has
taken in charge Brick Pomeroy and the other
belligerent bricks of the democratic party
hoping to reduce their rather violent demon
STATIONS of temper to the gentleness of suck
ing dove. But while he goes in for peace
amongst all parties he gives no promise of vic
tory to any.
Montgomery Blair, and the whole Blair
family, in fact, made peaceful raid upon
Richmond during the war with the expectation
of soothing the rebel leaders, but, as we know,
they were ingloriously unsuccessful. The
Blairs are now on the warpath; they arc in
for the Presidential fight, while Dana goes
strongly for peace; and as long as the funds of
Senators Morgan and Conklng last there is no
doubt that Dana's negotiation Office will be
kept open.

LOOKING TO THE RHINE. King William Of
Prussia has left Berlin attended by brilliant
and numerous staff of officers, for the purpose
of inspecting the troops of the North German
Confederation. He reached Dresden yester-
day, where his superior military authority was
acknowledged by the King of Saxony who
received and conducted him to the palace.
The future Emperor of Germany is, it appears,
becoming suspicious of the political surround
ings and cautious as to their probable issue,
deeming it prudent to be prepared for any
emergency which may ''turn up" Why he
should be so is best known to himself and
Count Bismarck. II King William receives
the Paris journals regularly he will find their
pages, as we do filed with ''peace assur-
ances." 1t may be, however, that after read
ing the assurances" in French he interprets
them in the German according to the lights Of
1901 and 1905, and from that period to Water
loo. King William knows all about 'peace
assurances" from Paris, and appears to prefer
the assurance Of the needle gun.

MEXICO AND THE ENGLISH PRESS. Eng
lish press has again taken to giving us advice
as to what we should do with Mexico. II is,
according to the English papers, for the into
rest of Mexico that it be incorporated with the
United States. This Is no new story. We
heard IL from both the French and English
when Mexico barbarously murdered MAXI
milan. We did not take the advice then.
We do not intend to take the advice now. We
know what is for our own interest and also
what is for the interest Of Mexico without ad-
vice from any such quarters. 1t is our inten-
ton to take heed to Mexico. We will bring
her into the Union when the time comes but
the time is not yet. Some say we expect TO
see Phil Sheridan repeating his Shenandoah
valley march over the wide plains of Mexico.
But there is no need for haste in this matter.

TIE PUBLIC DEBT STArEMENT.-The official
September statement of the public debt of the
United States, published in our columns yes
terday, compared with the exhibit made at the
corresponding period of 1867, shows very
heavy increase in the financial burden Of the
nation. This increase, counting from the LIST
OF September of the past year, amounts to
$i2, 9is, and for the month from the | st of
August to the LIST of September Of 1868 foots
up a sum of $l2, O97, sl3-a ratio of aggregate
in our liabilities well calculated to render the
people cautious If not alarmed for the future.
In the account the Treasury takes credit to the
amount Of 1876, 900 represented under the
head of Bonds issued to the Pacific Railroad
Company" as well as for sum Of over seven
millions of dollars in gold paid for the Alaska
Territory purchase to Russia. The Pacific Rail-
road undertaking Is, to very great extent a
national work, and the acquisition of Alaska
adds greatly to the extent and value of the
national domain; yet, Notwithstanding the
claim Of the official credits obtained in each
case, 1t remains quite clear that the national
debt has really been increased by the large
volume specified within the year

The Work BefO Us.
by FREDERICK DOUGLASS,

Tt is eminently crelItable to the sagacitv if
not to the honesty, of the Democratic leaders
that they prefer to limit discussion OF the merits
OF their party, in the present canvass. strictly
TO the platform adopted in New YORK by their
Fourth OF July National Convention. For very
obvious reasons, they are dead" against dead
issues. There is as much shrewdness as appa-
rent resignation I'D their willingness to let
''bygo1 es be bygones" In this prompt, busi-
nesslke course there would be much TO
commend, if one did not see lurking behind
it very uely fact which it is designed TO
conceal. In the effort to withdraw the
war record of the Dem cratic party there
is either a sense OF its crmDallty or a conyic-
tion OF its present Odiousness. Their policy
evidently is to attack, not to defend; and i'll this
they ale wise. They are smart men, and largely
gifted with powers OF utteraUce; but the tax OF
defending the policy of their party during the
war would leave time for little else, were they
once 10 enter upon il. they therefore cast 1t
aside altogether- They know that, like Lord
GraDby's character, there are some things winch
can only pass without censure, as they pass
without observation. No men more readly Y
than they perceive the effect which time and
events have wrought in the minds OF men.
Deeds which were once me with impunity, and
even glorIed in at the time of their perpetra-
ton, by slight change in the varying current
OF events, assume an aspect too Ieyotilg Tor
defense. 1t is now much easier TO assall
the Republican party for ITS awk ward manage
ment OF public affairs than to de END the efforts
of Governor Seymour and his friends TO res st
the drafts and other necessary measures for the
preservation of the Uuiou. So far AS the en-
deavor to divert attention from the position
occupied by the Democratic party dnrlug the
war may be taken as a confession, il is at least
valuable TO outsiders. IL is always dec ded
gain to the cause of justice TO have even an
implied admission OF guilt on the part OF the
culprlt. Excellent, however, as confession s, il
does very little good to any ybodv unless coupled
with an honest purpose to iorsake the evil way
and an earnest effoIt 10 re orm.

''Mark Twain" writes to the Chicago Republl-
cdn:-
"The exodus Of people from the Atlantic
States to California within the past nine months
has been something surprising. The ships OF
the Pacific Mail Company carried forty thousand
persons to San Francisco during that time. The
ships of the opposition line must have carried
about half as many. The former company de-
spatches four steamers a mouth, and the latter
company two. The officers Of the ship came
in from the Isthmus said the last was the ightest
passenger trip (outward from New York; they
had had tor eight months, and vet they had
upward of eight hundred people on board.
During more months thau one their passenger
list reached about FIVE thousand. When went

Claims of the Freedmen's Commission.
by WILLIAM LLOYD GARRISON.

There is no hope Tor the ignorant and degraded
white population OF the South that to them shall
be EXTENDED the invaluable boon of education
excepting through the success OF the experiment
to teach those whose wrongs and sutferlugs
while held in slavery, demand for them the 6rSt
consideration. Let the iroedmens schools be
abandoned by neglect, or suppressed by local
mob violence and no man may look tor any
educational provisions in behalf of "the poor
white trash" in that benighted section of our
country. In that case ali the reconstruction
acts of Congress will be paralyzed, and will not
fail TO carry out its evil designs to the utermost.
Then. North and South. LOOK out TOR "a day OF
wrath, day of trouble and distress, day OF
wasteness and desolat on. a day of darkness and
gloominess, day of clouds and thick darkness,
a day of the trumpet and alarm against the
fenced cities and against the high towers!"
