Wearied with the bitter struggles of the past
few years, nv heart painted for peace, quiet and
repose. In the election of Governor Seymour
and the success of the Democratic party felt,
in common with all our good people, there was
not only a PROSPECT but CERTAINTY of peace
an enduring peace that would lift up our own
desolated section and give to it renewed days
OF prosperity; restoring, too, the past relations
of brotherhood between the two sections. and
making US once more a happy and united peo-
ple-united not merely in name, but in heart,
spirit, and truth. 1t with these feelings l
was induced to break long self-imposed 81
lence, and address the people of Georgia, to in
duce like feeling on their part. Well. ina
gine if you the surprise with which l have
read the comments in Radical papers on that
speech. perverting its meaning, dstorting and
constituting my words of peace and hope into
words of blood and revolution / am made
the advocate of strife and war when from every
pore of my heart there comes gushing the most
earnest and sincere desire for peace-lastiDg,
eternal peace. DO me the favor to read re-
vised and correct copy of that speech. which |
send. so that one friend at least at the North
may truthfully Judge me.
''Your friend, HOWELL CORB."
There are those who would not steal, and
yet who would come so near it as to refuse
to return stolen property. A journal that
would publish faIsehood, Intentionally or
unintentionally. and refuse to publish re-
futation. would come up to the latter class,
if not the first.

To the People of Pennsylvania
| The Radicals reproduce the stale slan~
ders of the past, and try to ignore the
grave questions of the present.
They prate of their loyalty and make
it the excuse for their corruption, their
extravaganza and their misrule.
They imagine that you have slept dur
ing three years of their iniquitous mis-
government, and that you will forget that
taxation oppresses you, that your CONS
merce languishes, and that your business
is broken up.
They have proven themselves powerful
to destroy and powerless to restore.
Their only policy is hate, and upon
getful that a thinking and practical peo-
pie require them TO answer:
Why is the national debt greater now
| than when Lee surrendered, and why
does it still increase?
What has become of the fifteen hundred
millions of dollars they have wrung from
/ the comforts and necessities of the people
! since June, 1865?
| Why are more than one hundred mil
/ lions of dollars annually wasted on the
unreconstructed South, and why is ii not
made to yield US as much, to relieve us
from taxation, and aid in paying our
debt
Why is the white man made the infe
rior of the negro in every Southern State
Why is one class of men totally exempt
from taxation whilst all others groan be-
meath the load they should aid in bearing
Why shall the 20 bonds be paid in
gold when by the express terms of the
contract they were made payable in legal
tender notes
Why is the Constitution violated and
| the Union not restored, and why are our
resources wasted, the people oppressed.

COWARDLY LYING,

When the nomination of Seymour and
Blair was found to create the most unparal-
lelled enthusiasm North and South, a coun-
terblast was attempted in Radical quarters
by asserting a want of earnestness on the
part of Seymour in support of the war
But this was met by the warm thanks Of
the dead Lincoln and the living Stanton and
Curtin, and the concoctors of the story were
silenced. Then Gen. Blair was attacked as
a revolutionist but his admitted gallantry
during the war, and the confding friendship
! Of their idol, President Lincoln, gave the lie
to that.
No1c the Radical press is Matching up war
speeches from distinguished Southerners to
show that we are to have another war if
Seymour is elected. Alleged speeches OF
| Wade Hampton. Tooubs and Howell Cobb
were next fabricated for the Northern mar
ket. These were promptly contradicted. and
we find nothing more of them in Radical
papers claiming respectabili;y.
A portion Of the country Radical press are
still publishing these falsehoods. Among
others the Jobnstown Tribune, whose editor
claims a character for fairness, as late as last
Friday copied an article asserting the most
violent and wallike language, as used by
Howell Cobb to his friends in the South
We need scarcely say the whole charge is
utterly false, and if anybody wants to know
why these unblushing falsehoods are put
forth in the Northern Radical papers, we
can only say that they are easily accounted
for, as the arpet-bag thieves in the pay Of
the government at the South know full well
that with the election of Seymour their days
are numbered, and hence their HUing depend;
on misrepresenting the South. We give an
extract from the letter of Howell Cobb nail
ing this falsehood to the counter; and if the
Tribune desires TO be honest it will publish
it. Here it is:
81 entered this contest With desire for the
success OF our ticket which never felt before.

TIMELY CAUTION.

The leader in the Aueghanion of last week
Is proof, strong as holy writ, that deep
fraud Is intended in Cambria county at the
coming election. That paper, which has al
ways taken some pride in recognizing the
amenities and courtesies of life, adopts the
unwontec ana unusual course of spreading
the name Cf most respectable citizen OF
Cambria cSuuty among its readers as a vio-
latnr Of the election laws, and hints even a
darker crime. And this, too, when the re-
port of the Radical Legislature, according to
the ANcghanian itself, bases its unjust GUST
ing of Mr. Shngart on the testimony of two
witnesses, one Of whom admits that the cause
Of Lis testi(ying was that Wallace "refused
TO give him 2OOO"--his testimony thus des-
troying itself. The other swore that he had
voted ON forged naturalization paper, and
thus a man who was guilty, by his own
showing, OF perjury and fraud, is to con-
6cmn the character of men of acknowledged
purity and integrity like Mr.. Collins and
Dir. Wallace.
But we acquit the AHeqhanian of auv de-
sire Of personal revenge that might be infer
rcd fr m its article, and render it as a piece Of
.f'aessc in view Of the coming contest. The
thiaf rePc's attention from himself by the
cry OF stop thief2'' and the AUegAania,l
adopts the same tactics.

General ROSecranS' Conference
with General Lee.
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, w. Va, ,
August 27. 1868.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, w. Va,
August 27, 1868.
General Rosecrans bas just left here for
the East, Generals Lee and Beauregard
and other notables taking leave of him at
the coach door, He has evidently pro-
dueed a fine impression, his departure
being regretted by ali classes here. Dur
! ing his stay Gen. Rosecrans has had the
fullest and freest interchange of opinions
with leading and most influential men
from every Southern State. On yesterday
ne addressed letter to Gen. Lee, in
which he expressed his views Of the pre-
sent condition of affairs in the country, and
the necessity for speedy restoration of
good feeling between the men of the North
and the South, and asking him to give a
written expression of his views as to the
best way by which this era of good feel
ing between the sections could be restored.
1o this communication General Lee re-
sponded with his accustomed frankness
and directness. expressing his reverence
for the Constitution of the United States
and his ardent desire for a complete
Union of the States as of cid, and also
his unqualified belief that his reverence
and desire were shared by large MAORI
ty of the rejecting people OF the South :;
that the South now painted anxiously for
peace and return to a peaceful and
constitutional administration of the Gov
ernment; that they longed more ardently
Tor that greatest boon of American free
men-the right of self government-that
he people of these States would treat
kindly and humanely the colored people
among them, if left to themselves; that
they would be impelel 10 this by the die
tates Of their own hearts as well as by
feeling of self-interest. General Lee,
however, was especially as emphatic in
deploring the attempt to commit the polit-
Ical destinies of these States to these
colored people at this time, before they
are prepared for such a mighty response
5Ility an attempt which, he remarked,
is fraught with incalculable misfortune
and calami;ies 10 the whole Country,
North and South, and with destruction to
these coloTed people themselves Gen.
Lee was J.ined IN this communication by
such distinguished men as Be suregard,
Stuart, of Virginia Stephens, of Georgia;
Conrad. of Louisiana, and other men of
Rote, both military and civil, whose
names are well known to the country.
give but meagre outline of the cor
respondence, which is Ia the hands of
General Rosecrans, and which, il is hoped,
will soon be given 10 the country, as ii
must be productive of great good. as it
ought to dispel many mistaken Impressions
which prevail IN the minds of many men
at the North 1t is on!y necessary for
he gallant men of the Union and Con-
federate armies, TO express themselves in
an unreserved manner to insure frater-
nizing among them. These united efforts
can be and ought to be directed to the
preservation of common country.

WHAT NEUTRAL SAYS The Round
Table, a very ably conducted literary jour
nal printed in New York, neutral in politics
professedly, but in reality having strong
Republican tendencies, at the time of Gov
Seymour's nomination for the Presidency,
predicted the defeat of the Democratic
party. 1t has since had occasion to
change that view, and now says:
"We have become persuaded that
there is powerful uneer-current of popu-
lar dissatisfaction with the Radical rule
and Radical measures, which is gaining
rather than losing strength with the pas
sage of time, and that, consequently, the
chances, which at present we estimate as
nearly even, may incline in November, in
a victorious degree, to the Democratic
side. From present indica-
tions we are led TO believe that the three
great States of New York, Pennsylvania
and Ohio will throw themselves into the
scale for Seymour and Blair, and should
they do so, not all the hosts of New
England, backed as they may be by the
West and South, by voters black or white,
constitutional or unconstitutional, will
avail to prevent the Republican forces
from kicking the BEAM

Is THIS COPS JUDGMENT Mrs. Sur
ratt was hung for being an accomplice in
The murder of Lincoln The testimony
on which she was convicted was that of
four men, Baker, Montgomery, Clever
and Conover, precious scoundrels. Baker
is now dead-Montgomery is now in pri-
son for embezzlement-Cl has been
convicted of an infamous offence, while
Conover is serving out term in the peni-
tentiary. Preston King, vino prevented
Mrs. Surratt's daughter from seeing the
President in behalf of her mother, com
mitted suicide by drowning in the North
river while Lane, who supported King
in his conduct towards Miss Surratt, shot
himself in st. Louis and now Stanton,
who kept all the records of that trial from
the President, at las: sneaks out of the
War Office like miserable hound that
has been detected in stealing sheep.
Gods judgments are sometimes slow, but
they are very sure. The Radical party
that upheld this Infamous crowd in its
rascality, has yet its judgment to receive.
That will be done in November next.
