L E US HAVE PEACE.p

Republican speakers herald this
"Motto" of Washburne General Grants
speaking trumpet, as a precious NOR
sci for the public ear. "Let us have
peace" says Washburne in Grants ac-
ceptance What kind of peace does
Washburne and Grant desire? Gar
field a leading radical of the Grant
school, and candidate for Congress in
the Ashtabula District says General
Grant will be elected the next Presi-
ident of the United States. When
thus elected, he intends, with the aid
of the Radical majority in Congress,
to rule the country by the help of a
little triangular piece of steel called
a bayonet." That is the kind of peace
he and the Radicals are providing
for the people. We are to have a
renewal of the "Alien and Sedition
laws" The people are to have the
peacc't the Autecrat Of Russia, the-Em-
peror OF France and the Queen of
Spain provide for their people. They
demand unqualified submission to the
will and purposes of the ruling class;
and if that is not speedily yielded, the
triangular argument is brought to
bear upon the people. 1t is well,
that Garfield had the frankness 70
make this admission, for the people
being "forewarned;" will have the
time to forearm" themselves that
these calamities may be averted at
the ballot box; and liberty of speech,
the liberty of the press, and the right
of the people to hold their public SER
wants responsible for their acts may
be maintained.

Especial Dispatch 10 Cincinnati Enquirer)
BANGOR, Me Sept. I5, 1868
The Republicans of this city, includ
ing the Hon. Hannibal Hamlin, are
greatly discouraged at the result in this
State. They had confidently counted
on twenty five thousand majority
for Chamberlin. Returns received to-
day Indicate t at it will not exceed l5,,
coo which is a Democrtic gain of near
iy $4,000 from 1S66-thc last test Tote
in the State.
! The Democrats throughout the State
are jubilant, it being conceded before
the election hat any thing less than
10000 Republican majority would he
u Democratic triumph.
For ten days before the election the
Radicals freely bet On from twenty TO
twenty five thousand majority, and
large sums of money have changed
hands today. The Radicals are paying
up their bets. In the cities and a few
large toHn ms, where the Radicals had
absolute control of the polls they made
large gains yer last year, but the coun-
Try towns generally show large Demo
cratic gains. The Radicals have spent
half q million dollars in this election.

THE SOUTH.

We publish this week the cores
pondence between General Rosecrans
and General r. E. Lee in reference to
the present situation ofthe South. and
the temper of her people towards
the General Government as admins
tered by the Republican Radicals
General Lee, and those uniting with
him in his letter, are of opinion that
the South, upon its surrender in 1865,
accepted in good faith, the situation,
and abandoned all further idea of re-
sistance to the Federal Arms. That
having done SO, the people of the
South were anxious to resume their
constitutional relations with the bal
ance of the States, and the General
Government and hence, according
to the terms of the surrender, had
good reason to expect that their Rep
~resentatives, and Senators would be
to occupy their places in
the Halls of Legislation. In this
they have been grievously disap-
pointed for the Radicals now claim
the South is out of the Union,
and cannot get back till admitted as
new territories organized for admis
sion, as States, into the Union!! 1t
is by this system of peridy, persecu-
ton, and revenge. that her people are
embittered, and are loosing all hope
peace +; and are expecting a fearful
md destructive war between the two
aces. How long will the intelligent
of the North tolerate these ma
icious attacks upon one part of
that a horde of scoundrels
nay flourish, and the people suffer
untold expressions Time alone can
determine this. We trust in God,
hat the day is not distant when bet
er c~ounsils will prevail, and the coun
ry again enjoy peace and prosperity.

for paying the $50 Bonds in the law
full money of the United States. The
following is his letter.
UNITED STATES SENATE CHAMBER.2
WASHINGTON, March 20, 1868.
DEAR SrR:-I was pleased to re
ceive your letter. My personal imt,r-
ests are he same as yuurs, but, like
you, 1 do not intend to be influenced
by them. "My construction of the
law is the result of careful examina-
ton, and / feel quite sure an impair
tial court would confirm it," if the
case could be tried before a court.
Your idea is that we pr pose to repu-
date or violate a promise when we
offer to redeem the principal in legal
tenders. / think the bondholder VIC
lates his promise, when he refuses to
take the same kind of money he paid
for the bond. Ii the case is to be
tested by the law 1 am right. If it
is to be tested by Jay Cookies adver-
tisements, / am wrong 1 hate rePu-
diation or anything Ike it, but we
ought not to be deferred from doing
what is right by fear of ~undeserved
epithet. If, under the law as it stands,
the holders of 5-20's can only be paid
in gold, then we are regulators If
we propose to pay otherwise. If on
the other hand the bondholder CAN
LEGALLY DEMAND only the kind of
money he paid, then lie is a r~epudidtor,
and an ertortioner to demand money
more valuable than he gave.
Truly yours, F.
JoHN SHERMAN.
To Hon. A. MANN, JB.,
Brooklyn Heights.
Mr. SHERMAN, in his Hillsboro'
speech, delivered q few weeks since,
used the following language:
~ have made and answered collat-
eral arguments in speeches and re-
ports, but my mind came back to the
conclusion, that, mader the lane, the con-
tract betreen the creditor and the United
States ras that the creditor should loan
tile United States Muful money, or paper
money-that the United States wouM pay
tile interest at sir per cent. IN coin, and
the United States might, at the end sol
fire years, return to that cred itor his prin-
cipal sam IN the same money koGned to the
Government"
From the foregoing, it will be seen,
that John Sherman plants himself up
on the Seymour Democratic Platform
adopted in New York. What will
our Republican friends donow? Will
they read Sherman out of the party,
and hand it over to the keeping of
the woman hanger, John A. Bing-
ham, and the spoon thief, Benjamin
+. Butler? Alas; the days of the
bondocracy are nearly numbered when
such men as Sherman and Thad. Ste
vens are forced to declare against

What BE comes of the Money

Tie Radicals talk eloquently about
the reduction of governmental expend;
ltures. During Buchanan's admins
tration the expenses of the Federal
Government, all told, averaged abe ut
seventy million dollars annually. Now,
if tho cxpeu Uses of the Federal Govern
ment under Radical administration, are
less than they were under Democratic
administration, what becomes of the
five hundred million dollars yearly
wrung from the people in taxes:?-
None of this money goes toward the
payment of the public debt. The
monthly statements of the Secretary of
the Treasury show conclusively that
the public debt instead of decreasing
is steadily increasing at the rate of
twelve million dollars a month. Hence,
the all copitanduna arguments of the
Radicals about a reduction of the ex-
mere electioneeripg tatements The
Radicals have no conscientious scruples
to manufacture statements of any kind
or character that they suppose would
help their sinking fortunes
There must be a '''screw loose some
where If the expenditures of the
government are less than they were un-
der Democratic administration, and the
Government now collect five hundred
million dollars yearly in taxes from the
people, the Radicals ought to be able
to render an accot mt of what they do
with the money? The Secretary of
the. Treasury shows that the public deb;
is growing larger. Over twelve mill .
ion dollars were added to that Radio
legacy during the month of August
The fact is that the expenses of the
Federal Government are larger than its
receipts. The higher and more grind
ing and oppressive the taxation, the
greater the public debt. The prosper
of the future is indeed gloomy Five
hundred millions dollars a year, it ap
pears, IS not enough to pay the expen
ses of the Federal government. In ad
dirion to that the government runs in
debt about twelve millions or more
every month.
The Radicals may howl themselves
horese and make "night hideous tn
their yelpings," still they annot make
any sane man believe a word OF their
balderdash about a re duction Of the ex-
penses of the Federal Government =
The people understand this matter per
rectly aNd will render a verdict in O.

The evidence and facts before them

We have no further particulars
from Maine to-day. We still adhere
to the opinion that the radical major
ity will be less than 10000. The
WOrH, yesterday claimed that it
would not be more than $4,000, and
a special from Bangor, Maine, to the
CINCINNATI Enquirer puts it at the
same figure. The vote was the larg-
est ever cast, reaching nearly 133, 600.
The democracy claim that their vote
has increased about ten thousand over
what they ever cast before, and the
radical majority is considerably less
than it was in,1S66, when the last
test vote of the two parties was
taken.
