General has recently said This much | WISH
and DECLARE THIS TO BE MY POLICY That
such degree Of peace and tranquility shall eaist in
this country that a man may speak his mind in any
part Of our great iand and that without molestation
or hindrance." This is precisely the policy the

Grants administration.

terrible and devastating war our people confident
ly expected peace and prosperity throughout the
land Through the PREACHER, of a scLemng de-
magogue who accidently succeeded to the Presi-

and our land given over to sectional strife which
is almost without parallel in history. The
country needs repose, the people desire peace and
they look for it through the triumphant election
of General Grant Almost every state from Maine

which the country now makes for peace Let us
have peace is the cry Of the toing millions of the
republic, and it has been happily re-echoed by
the Republican party, by placing its standard in
the hands of the man who hushed the thunders
OF war upon the banks OF the Appomattox.

Our candidate for Congress, has been making a
canvass OF the District, and We are informed that
wherever he has been he has made favorable
impression. His ability and loyalty recommend
him to the favorable consideration of moderate
men Of all parties, and we are assured that he will
receive considerable support from those who
have not heretofore acted with the Republican
party 1t is evidently to the interest of the peo-
pie of the Second District to secure Represen-

influence under General Grants administration,

"THUt Pictatfe.o

Two weeks ago we printed ''cut" that was
lying around our Office, which, viewed one way
showed very grim looking individual and
viewed another way gave sight alta very pleas
ant looking fellow. We stated it 10 be a fair
representation of the difference between the looks
of the republicans and democrats Of our town af-
ter the news of the late elections came in. 1t
was only intended as piece of harmless pleas
antry, and was SO received by the democrats Of
our section, who laughed heartily over it, and
admired the ingenuity exhibited in its getting
up. Ruby, of the Journal, however, did not
like it at all in fact, he got terribly mad about
it and in his last issue he makes that picture
the occasion to grossly insult John Fl. Longneck-
er, Esq, a gentleman universally acknowledged
to be good citizen of our town. Why Dir.
Longnecker was blamed for the insertion Of that
picture is beyond our comprehension. The edi-
tor OF the Journal knors as well as he knows
that he is living, that Mr.. John H. Longnecker
has nothing whatever to do with the Union Of
fee or its management, and that he does not
own type in the Office. We have over and
over again stated that be had nothing to do with
our Office, and we here repeat that Mr. L. has
not written one single line of editorial matter for
the Union since it's present proprietors have had
control Of it. He hne,o nothing o. that picture an
til after the paper scas printed. Mr.. Ruby knows
all these things; then why these indecent attacks
upon private citizen Mr.. Longnecker ia not
nm office holder or a candidate FIR office nor 10
he taking any very active part in politics.
Surely such attacks will not strengthen the party
which the Journal represents, for we have heard
the article in question denounced in unmeasured
terms by several good democrats.
or course Mr.. Ruby did not write the para
graph it is the work Of one Of his many ''as-
" sistants;'' but by publishing it as his own be
stands convicted of deliberately insulting one
who never ininred him

FIXED FOR LIFR.-We learn from the Newark
Courier that General George B. Mcclellan has at
last been settled for life. The executors of the
Edwin A. Stevans' estate have employed him at
an annual salary of $40, 900 year to superin-
tend the completion OF the famous Stevens bat
terry at Hoboken, and which, when afoat is to
be rendered as free gift to the State OF New
Jersey. AS no limit is Specified for the compile

fact is perversion of the fact. It is more-it
is i'll faith to the body af the Convention-and
1t is an attempted deception Of the poters at the
polls"
And the same paper proceeds to show that
the logical result of the platform justifes and
legalizes murder and war. 1t says:
Congressional reconstruction is q failure,
and all who attempt to enforce it or to exercise
power by its authority, are simply trespassers.
trespasser may be justifably Killed"
The Louisville Journal calmly reviews the
eventual possibilities of the plan, and does not
hesitate to conclude:
"This is Frank Blairs method, and it is ours;
and if, in order to attain it, it becomes necessa-
ry to fight, why, we'll fight"
Hon. John Forsyth, delegate to the New
York Convention, and editor of the Mobile
Register, will not be content without blood, even
in case of success. He says:
owe know there are many democrats at the
North who believe that the political atmos-
phere, poisoned by the long reign of Radical
despotism, will not be purified until just chas-
tisement is inflicted upon the daring men who
have conspired against the freedom of the ma
ton. In other words, that this revolution will
not be complete without more blood-letting"
gerant, and the Norfolk journal will not be
content without the utter destruction of all
Union men. 1t says:
"The people have an account to settle with
the Radical party, and terrible reckoning
will it be for the latter-such one as will make
them hide their heads in shame, and compel
many Of them to fly the country to escape the
retrbution that will befall them for their
wickedness."
The Richmond Dispatch warns its party
against abating one jot of Blair's revolutionary
programme, and says:
off Governor Seymour should undertake to
smooth off the rough corners of General Blair's
platform, he will only injure the cause he de-
sires to promote, and lessen the chances of his
own success This is no time for temporizing 3"
And the Memphis Appeal looks forward con-
fidently to the ultimate success of the Lost
Cause, and says:
"The country is by far too large to remain
under one government, and the day will come
when the South will be independent"
Are these extracts not enough to show the
revolutionary intentions of the democratic
party? By appeals and sentiments like, and
worse than, the above, the % Southern heart
"has been fred" until they are ready, in case
of Seymour and Blar's success to attempt an
other revolution, and to undo ell that has al
ready been accomplished towards the restora-
ton of the Southern States. The only hope for
continued peace is the election of Grant and
Colfax, and all whoreally desire peace will, ON
Tuesday next, vote for them.
