The last question is Who is the Wickedest
Man in New YOrkf Mr.. Oliver Dyer insists
that it is John Allen, although Mr.. Allen has
reformed, and if he keeps on with his prayer
meetings will be the best man in New York.
We have felt disposed to give the prominence
to Mr. Brick" PomerOy, the great journalist and
statesman of the West, but just now we have
a new candidate in the person of Tommy He'd
den. According to an authority whose name
our reporter could not obtain, Tommy Hedden's
peculiar claim to wickedness is that he "shang-
hais the sailors" We do not profess to know
what this mysterious performance means, al-
though if it is anything worse than voting for
Seymour and Blair, it must be something ter
rible Tommy lledden is a pronounced friend of
Gov Seym0ur's. He is an orator. We had hoped
that Mr.. Allen would take the stump with Mr.
Pomeroy, as was limited; but we think John is
engaged in better business. We now suggest
that Tommy Hedden offer his services to the
Democratic Committee and enter upon its
work. A series of thrilling speeches by the
Shanghai Tommy Hedden, Carpet-Bagger"
Perrin, "Sunset' Cox, and "Brick" Pomeroy,
in the different districts of the State, from now
until election, would tend powerfully toward
rousing the people and strengthening the true
Democratic sentiment. Let the "red-hot'
Democracy have chance and let their red
hot leaders be heard by the people. The
horny handed plow-holders are tired of the
syllabub and treacle of The Neic- York World.
They want the plain, unyarnished truth
Above all things, they want to be told that
the issues now before them are:
First: Whether niggers shall be allowed to
marry white women.
Second Whether a small band of degraded
Africans shall trample the mighty white race
in the dust.
Third Whether Abraham Lincoln is in the
sixth or seventh hell
Fourth Whether u s. Grant shall be made
presidenS and be permitted to surround the
Republican CoGrt with Digger Indian squaTs
and dealers in whisky. Squaws certainly would
he a novelty in the White House, although We
don't think the whisky would.
FVh Whether Benjamin +. Butler, under the
new administration, shall be permitted to seize
and appropriate to his own uses all the spoons and
silver plate in the country. Considering the guam
tity of silver pateheld by the Democracy of New
York and reported yearly to the Tax Collector
and paid for this calamity would not be 50
fearful aS is generally supposed.
SirM; Whether we are TO have another war;
Tommy Heddcn on these points would be n
powerful acquisition to the Democratic party
lie would shanghai the Radicals worse than he
has the sailors of Water-st., and would contri-
butte marvelously toward increasing the major
ity Of the red-hOt, plow holding, nigger- hating
Democracy. ,.

Fort Pillow Forrest wants to kill somebody.
He is dying for a fight. All the memories aud
passions of Fort Pillow have come back to
him. The massacre of negroes in cold blood,
after they had surrendered, was not enough to
satisfy his insatiate thirst. He wants to kill
Brownlow and all the Radicals in the South,
and to make Tennessee run with the blood Of
"carpet- -baggers" and "scallawags.' Mr.. For.
rest does not disguise this desire. He is ready
for war, and with him he has a well-organizei
and armed Ku-Klux Klan. Let every Demo
crat read his remarkable declaration as pub

Pillow, let him vote, on the Sd Of November,

and appealed for united action for freedom
Mr.. Colfax, in his editorial in The Reg'Ster
SoutI, BEND, Ind. of June 21 1855 (the week
after this action) thus defined at the time hrs
views, and those he had df'cdvs entertained,
having inflexibly refused to take any obllga-
ton that would prevent HIM from voting Tor
an American citizen of foreign birth whose
principles on the great issues of the day were
sound. This is what Mr. {. wrote, not to-day,
but thirteen years ago:

When a good old Democrat like Reyerdy

Republican he becomes. Thus, he is reported
as saying to a number of Englishmen at din

"The war had this compensation 1t ended Slavery.

history will say that blood was well spent In erasng s

TO THE FRIENDS OF GRANT AND COLFAX.

The combat decpcns! We are in the thick
of desperate struggle, but we can see through
and beyond it, A few weeks more of res0lute
effort will usher in long, bright season OF
tranquility and safety
We must not be beaten. The patriot blood,
poured out like water Oh hundred bloody
fields, cries aloud to us TO press Oh to tho gl0-
rious consummation for which so much has
ioyfully been sacrificed. The election OF Grant
and Colfax secures the ascendency OF Liberty,
Justice and Peace. 1t is the AppOmattOx of
our civil conflict. 1t insures that ours shall be
henceforth land of Equal Rights and Equal
Laws. 1t makes our recent history coherent
and logical. 1t demonstrates that the discom-
future of the Rebellion was no blunder and no
accident, but the triumph of principle and an
added proof that God reigns.
We are doing well in the canvass, but we
ought to do better for there are still thou
sands who would read Republican papers who
have them not, and hence are not imbued with
ardor and enthusiasm for the success of our
candidates and our cause. You must help us
TO reach some thousands more of these And,
to incite you to do so, we propose to send
