Final Abolition Of Slavery in America.

The fourteenth amendment Of the
u. S. Constitution has ueen adopted
as the law, more than three fourths
of the States having adopted and
Johnson's Cabinet having recognized
it as part of the Constitution. This
amendment recognizes all men, no
distinction as to color, as equal before
tie laws, aad denies to States or the
Federal Government the right to en-
act any law discriminating between
men or races of men. 1t also de-
stroys the two ifths representation
in Congress and allows every man to
count as his own man in the electoral
college. Under this lax, if the
Southern States refuse to permit Fl ee
suffrage, they will loose third..of their
representation in Congress. But it
is believed that under this law, free
manhood suffrage will be the law, be
cause no State can enact a valid con-
stitutional law unless the same ap>
plies to all men alike, including the
franchise. This is the final drive at
aristocracy in America, and hence
forth every man must stand upon his
OVID merit. white or black. Hallelu>

e@-One Of the strongest and best
reasons Tor opposing the Democratic
ticket is the fact that in case it should
succeed and Seymour shall die or be-
come incapacitated, Blair would be-
come President. And the danger of
such an event is real and pressing
The talk about hereditary insanity
in the Sey mour family is no joke, but
sober earnest. Once elected Presi>
dent, Mr.. Seymour could not stand
for six months the pressure that
would be brought to bear upon him
by hungry office seekers, and if he
did not die he would soon have to be
carried to some insane asylum, in all
probability. Then, Blair. And Blair
a heavy handful at the best, would
be intolerable so soon after Johnson.
Even the more respectable of the
Democrats must shudder at such
prospect.

n,erce (Dem.) thus speaks of the f.
nancial plank in the National DEM
ocratic platform "There is no ex>
cuse for such a proposition. 1t is
both wicked and disgraceful. The
authors know very well that the
money was borrowed with the ex,
press underst standing that it was to be
repaid in coin, and that anything
short of this is reputation OF a sol>
emn covenant The Republicans
may now see what a chance they
have lost they are outdid by the
Democrats for the favor of the peO-
pie of loose morals with whom the
greenbaci. payment is a favorite
theory. Gov. Seymour has always
warmly insisted on the obligation
to pay the bonds in gold. The plat.
form is thus the very opposite of his
well-known views. How the two
ale to be reconciled it is not for as
to decide"

Bg- The position of the English
press upon our Presidential campaign
is sore trial to the Copperheads.
They have generally had support
from the Tory newspapers, bat now
even that has denied them. This
class of journals declare that Sey-
mour's case is hopeless. They say,
in substance Our sympathies are
with the Democrats but we must
confess that we have no idea they can
carry the election. The Liberal
press is now as it was during the
war, upon the Union side, and re-
joices with exceeding great joy at
the prospect of another Union vic
tory.

e0~So far the reports in regard to
the grain crop ofcur own country and

that accounts from the harvest in oil

are significant OF prosperity and re-

mentioned in public, namely that
every delegate in that convention
from the Southern States was a Sc

that there is not man in the South,
white or black, who was loyal to
the Union during tho war, who will
support Seymour and Blair. AT all
events, there is not solitary South

with the rebels, who is not for that
