Hold Them RESPONSIBLE.

That the late rise in gold and the disastrous
consequences resulting therelrom, are the d.
rect and legitimate effect of the semi-repudia-
ton doctrines Of the Democratic platform, and
the revolutionary utterence Of their orators,
no man in his senses can doubt. Cen Blair
threatens to undo the work of reconstruction,
and dispersc the Southern State governments
at the point of the bayonct. The Democratic
platform declares all the legislation of Con-
gress for the restoration of the Southern States,
unconstitutional, revolutionary and void. "
The National fQteHigcncer proclaims that
rather than submit to the laws of Congress in
regard to the participation Of the unrecon-
structod States in the Presidential election,
should it be found to operate against the Dom
ocratio party, the sword would be drawn,
and the blood Of thousands she'd in fotricidal
strife"
II is by such means as these that gold j.
sent up and business Frustrated. BY such
means as these does the Democratic party
work for the injury Of the country, not only
through the evil it actually does, but the
fears it excitcs. bet them be held RESPONSE

The Election next Tuesday.

Within one week from to-day, and before
another issue Of this paper, the freemen Of
Vermont will be called upon TO declare at the
ballot box their preference as to the govern
ment Of this State, and by their vote at that
time, will have powerful influence upon the
character of the government of the United
States for four years from the 18th Of March
next.
The only danger to be apprehended in this
election, and one of which the Democrats are
seeking to make the most, is that the Re-
publicans, through over confidence, should
stay away from the polls. The rigid disci-
pline of the Democratic party, never more
thorough than to-day, will take care that ev-
cry voter of that stripe is on hand to vote.
The result of reduced majority in this State
will carry dismay into the hearts of the Re-
publican voters in Maine and Pennsylvania,
as well as throughout the Union, and we think
we can see the exultaton with which Demo-
Gratis would pour into the ears of the voters
Of Maine, week later, the tale that Vermont,
the Banner Republican State of the Union"
had gone back upon its record-had become
tired of Republican rule, and was fast rush
ing into the arms of the Democratic party.
Republican voters of Vermont do you
care to contribute to this result2 If not,
see that your Republican neighbor, as well as
yourself is at the polls on Tuesday next, and
do your part towards giving to the Republi.
can nominees of the State the grand old ma.
iority of over $4,000 which the State rolled
up for Lincoln in 1864.
, Let it not be forgotten that, although our
own State may be safe to Republican rule
still every individual vote increases the pop
ular majority and let that majority be mad
20 overwhelming as to bury the revoutiona
ny and reasonable designs of the Democrat
party beyond the possibility of resurrection
Let the great questions at issue be so deeisiv,
ly settled that no national political organize
ton shall ever again affiliate with traitors, {
undertake to retrieve the " lost cause" of tn
rebellion.

Spirit of Slavery.

The greatest need Of the South is Northern
enterprise and capital to develop and enrich
her. Blessed with boundless resources,
sslubrious climate, and the most fertile soil in
the world, the curse of slavery has hitherto
paralyzed all her energies and destroyed the
taste of her people for almost all the arts of
progressive civilization Slavery persisted in
the war, but the cloud it had cast over the
minds of the people Of that section has not
been removed. 1t requires men educated
under different auspices to infuse the life and
health and strength Of free labor into their
new civilization 1t would seem reasonable
that every Southerner of sense would see and
recognize this necessity, and hail with gladness
the arrival of every Northern citizen who
should now come among them to find home
But the blind prejudice which sustained
slavery so long will not give way now, The
chivalric (P) leaders of the Southern press
refuse all light, and persist in branding every
immigrant from the North as a carpet-baggcr

Reign orTcrror at the South.

\ New York gentleman who has been tray
cling along the banks of the Mississippi river,
writing to a Senator at Washington, says -
" The system of terrorism so successfully used
in Mississippi is now naugurated in Tennes-
see, and is much more efficient and thorough"
He also says that the landholdcrs are, by
the agency Of the Ku Klux, controlling the
suffrage Of the negroes, and unless some thor
ough and decided action shall be taken to vim
dictate the rights and privileges of the blacks
Tennessee must surely be lost" He says he
has information from a trusty source that the
ku Klux of Tennessee, thoroughly organized
and armed, number one hundred and sixty
thousand He added that the twelve rebel
generals lately assembled at Nashville, are
leaders of the Khan, and this is confirmed by
letters from other parties who say that the
ostensble purpose of the meeting at Nashville
Of these generals was not the real one, and
that their fair talk is for strategic purposes
to create opinion.

TnE " KEY-SroNE. The Presidential bat
tle-ground is again in Pennsylvania as it has
been for many years. The result, however,
cannot be considered doubtful. The republic
cans carried the State in "a, '65 and '66, by
maiorities varying from 1900 to $4,000.
Last year they were at disadvantage, and
their candidate for Judge of the Supreme
Court was defeated by Judge Sharswood, by
922 majority. Here, however, as in the 9th
er large States, Reaction has been ripening
among the more liberal democrats, who have
no intention of carrying out the schemes of the
lawless and revolutionary leaders of the party.
Our exchanges speak of this movement as very
extensive and important. And, what is still
more encouraging, the republicans are in hear
ty accord, and thoroughly roused-which al
ways insures success.

Don. Grant and Emanclnatlon.

From a speech delivered by Judge Law,

1865, we print the significant extracts below.
Eulogizing the Republican candidate for the

by rrefragable proofs, never to be obiterated
from the annals OF the nation, the speaker
proceeds to illustrate the early convictions Of
General Grant touching the high question Of
human rights Read
During the progress Of the war, and in
advance even Of the craftsmanship Of Lincoln
and his Cabinet General Grant foresaw the
necessity of emancipation, and not only as a
means Of ,upprcssing the rebellion, but to
the future peace Of the country; and ON the
30th Of August, 1869, hc addressed letter
to Mr. Washburne, Of Illinois, in these word. :.
