A gentleman from Niagara County, during
visit to Chicago not long since, was fortunate
enough to be there one day when Gen. Grant
was also in the city, in company with Charles
Wilson and Andrew Shuman, of the Chicago

the matter of the Camilla butehery was allud-
ed to, when Gen. Grant turned to Mr.. Wilson
and said "Charley. should the people make
me President, you and the people may be as
sured that ali men will be permitted to speak
their honest convictions wherever they may
be within the boundaries of the United States

Only six days remain In which all the work
for Grant and Colfa1 must be done. Since
the September election Copperheadism has
been as dead Ia Maine as cannibalism. 1t has
been as impossible to find devotee of De-
mocracy as worshipper of the sun. All our
citizens, without distinction of party" have
been Original Grant men," This state of
syncope, into which the enemy has fallen. has
not been without its effect on the Republican
side. 1t isn't pleasant work or even very at
tractive play to kick the unresisting air or to
strike blows into space. The consequence is
that with few very gratifying exceptions,
like the Republican demonstrations at Hollis.
Buxton and Bath, there has been nothing
done by either party. The Democrats, SO TAR
| as we know, have not held single meeting In
any part of the STATE. They are sure of Mad
awaska, and we are sure of everything else,
and so it has been left to natural causes alone
to give Grant and Colfax $4,000 or 10000 ma
| joritv.
| The largest Republican majority ever OBJ,
tanned in this State was in 1866, when Cham
| berlain had q 687 more votes than his King
field rival. In 1860 Lincoln's majority was
24504. and in 1864, II 592. In the Guberna-
torial election preceding the Presidential con-
test of 1864 the Republican majority was
| 1880, the falling off in the majority from
September TO November being accounted fol-
by the lighter vote.
There is no danger this year that the ma.
jority of September will be lesseaed as it was
in 1864, but there is danger that lighter vote
fof President than for Governor will prevent
the majoritys reaching the limit OF 1866. Thi,
should not be. When Grant was in the field
az appears from his own declarations, his call.
for men were always needed, and he was thus
enabled to do his work speedily and well. he
now calls for votes and majorities to strength
en- his hands in the great civic duties that art
about to be imposed upon him. Maine ought
to give him 10000 majority. On as full vote
as that of September he would be sure of al
least that number, if we throw off the presen
apathy and push things"

IHE reduced Republican majority in West

when the dividing line between Virginia prop

THE Democratic papers are continually ac.
cusing the Republicans of Inconsistency be-
cause the latter while advocating universal
suffrage, have yet DISTINGUISHED large numbers
Of Southern traitors.
Universal suffrage and the Acknowledgement
of criminals are not however things that are
incompatible. The warmest advocates of uni
versal suffrage cannot deny that the man who
commits crime places himself beyond the
pale Of society and forfeits all right to be con.
sdered member of the body polite or to
share in the exercise OF political power
This is the exact condition of the Southern
Rebels. They are criminals and could not
complain if considered outlaws. If they re-
tain any of the rights of citizens, they enjoy
them through the magnanimity OF the victors
not through their own deserts. Their disfran.
chisement may be unwise, 1--WE will not argue
that point,) but it is not unjust
This complaint about Inconsistency only
shows tendency long prominent in the Dem
ocratic leaders to ignore the fact that treason
Is crime.
The permanent disfranchisement of the whole
colored race is a cardinal principle of Democ
racy, while they fill the country with denun-
Citations at the merely temporary disfranchise-
ment of set Of uurepentant traitors.
There is something worse than Inconsistency
in party that considers treason a light Of
Tense when compared with the atrocious crimes
of having black skin.
