asserts The Mobile Reqisler, "that the counter
" "rovolption will not be complete without more
"bloOd- lettng;" and The Richmond inquirer
adds, "The white men Of the southern states
"have seen the day when they could use the
"bullet. and, if God in His anger permit the
necessity to arise, they Will use IL agalh'.

Uercy,1l "we will swear that this is White
MANS Government. We must make the
"negro understand we are the men we were

"Gen. Blair at the head of the militia VIII be
"a match for Gen. Grant at the head OF the
Irregular army,n boasts Gen. Ewing. The
Georgia Democratic Convention declared:
"There might once have been necessity for
"the Rebels of Georgia to submit to the mill
"tary authorities, but there is none now. The
"Democratic chivalry of the North are march
cling % our rescue"
This is enough. WE might fill columns with
such shrieks and yclls of Rebellion, the echoes
of 1861 but every day swells the evidence that
the Southern leaders repudiate the surrender
of Leo and repay with plans of new war
the generosity which saved them from the
gallows. Whether it be right or wrong that
treason deserves death, it is certain that the
people of the North did not permit that qucs-
ton to be raised in their magnanimity they
put it aside, and required Of traitors no in
demnity for the past, imposed no punishment
for their crimes, but demanded only security
for the future. IL was Peace for which we
longcd and are we now TO learn that we were
wrong in seeking to establish Peace in the
spirit of mercy rather than in that which de-
mands an eye for an eye, and tooth for a
toothY We must believe So If we can believe
Frank Blair, Wade Hampton, Howell Cobb,
the leaders of the Democratic party North and
South, and the unanimous voice of the Rebel
press. In 1860 aud 1861 these identical threats
were made by the same men, but the patriotic
masses could not credit their sincerity, till the
attack upon Sumter proved that the South was
in deadly earnest 1t is the duty of the
American people to profit by that terrible ex-
penence. We are warned by the Democratic
party itself that It's triumph means War; that
it intends that Blair aud Seymour shall estab-
lish tho principles of the COnfedcncy. That
warning il would be criminal folly to despise
1t is Grant who represents in this contest the
great cause which he represented in the war;
and only by his election can Peace and Order
DO preserved and permanently established.

Mr.. George II. PendletOn having, in his re-
cent electioneering tour in Maine, propOunded
the question" What has the Republican party
~done ?"-that question was explicitly and
oogently answered by HENRY WILSON at the
great Grant and Colfax meeting held yesterday
at Bangor. We print his speech complete in
this issue, and commend it to the earnest at
tention Of all patriots. No one will complain
that it does not meet the question. The Re
publican party has history of which it is
Justly proud, and it thanks such as Mr.. Pen
dletOn for enabling it to recall and review that
history. Let all ask who will, for the answer
is ready.
And Henry Wilson is the man to give that
answer Born poor, he has remained so be-
cause he has consecrated his life to the nOblest,
highest ends. He has acted with the Whig,
the Democratic, the Free SOil-with any and
every party so that he might thereby advance
and diffuse Human Liberty. by so doing, he
has made some enemies and more revilers;
bat none of either class ever really doubted
his integrity, his sincerity or his devotion to
the upraising of the lowly Read his speech,
we beg you, and then ask your neighbOr to
do likpWiSel

We beg leave to announce that Mr.. John
Allen of New-York, prominently known as
"The Wickedest Man in New-York," will
shortly take the stump for Seymour and Blair.
Mr.. Allen and Mr.. Brick Pomeroy will stump
the city together, and, when the weather gets
little cooler, take a tour through the State.
We bespeak for these "red-hOt" gentlemen an
enthusiastic reception by the unterrifed De-
mocracy. Mr.. Allen believes that this is a
white mans country; that plowholders have
rights which bondholders are bound to respect,
and that the time has come for the whito man
to crush the degraded negro who is endeavor-
ing to usurp the Government. He appeals TO
his fellow citizens to rise up and rally round
the great statesman Seymour and the illustri-
GUS Gen. Blair the two most fitting represent
atives of the Water-st. Democracy. When
Brick Allen and Brick POmeroy get into the
the rural districts we shall have lively times.

President johnson has done nothing mOIe
handsome than to appoint Mr.. Perry Fuller to
the vacant Office of Collector in New-Orleans.
A prejudiced Senate rejected the name of Mr..
Fuller when presented for the high office of
Commissioner of Internal Revenue, and, in
doing so, wantonly interfered with the Presi-
dents desire to show his appreciation of Mr..
Ross vote on the question Of Impeachment.
But the President, with that stern constancy
of purpose which has made him in every re-
spect the Second Jackson of the Republic, has
recognized the claims of Mr.. Ross upon him
and named Mr.. Fuller as Collector of Gus
toms for Louisiana, That district has been
one of the worst managed districts In the
country, and has probably returned as little
revenue, all things considered, as any other.
This will give Mr. Fuller a fine chance for
improvement. If Mr.. Ross has any other friends
that he wants put in office, now is the time TO
name them. The President is in the humOr,
and nobody knows how long it will last.

DISEASED CATTLE EN- ROUTE TO THIS CITY.

Yesterday morning the Board Of Health received
information that large numbers OF diseased cattle
were en- route to this city from the West and that
others had arrived In this city and vicinity. The
President Of the Board, Mr.. Lincoln, therefore
ordered an inspection Of the cattle and
drove yards In New York and New Jersey,
but with what result Is not yet known. A
telegram was sent to Governor Fenton last evening
requesting him to order an inspection OF prominent
railroad stations the Erie and Central railroads.
to overhaul cattle trains and to ascertain the cond
ton of stock In transit to this city. kilograms were
also sent to Governor Ward, OF New Jersey and
Governor Geary, OF Pennsylvania, to cause the in
specton Of cattle trains within their respective ju
rsdictOns
1t Is alleged that on train that left the West
which was over two hundred head OF cattle, nearly
fifty per cent died Of disease before they reached this
city.
The timely and commendable action Of the Board
Of Health will probably prevent large quantities VI
diseased meat being put Into market.
