Has Never. Denied it.

Some of the Radical papers having ven-
tured to deny that Gen. Grant, in 1861,
laid: eff the government designs using its
soldiers to execute the purposes of the Alb
olitionists, pledge you my word as sol
der that l will carry my sword to the 9TH
err side, and cast my lot with that peo-
ple," the Cleveland Plaindealer replies
General Grant did use the language
attributed to him, in the summer of 1861,
at Mexico, on the North Missouri railroad,
while in command of that post, as Colonel
of the twenty-frst Illinois regiment of in
fantry, not in a "speech," for he can not
make speech, but in conversation with a
number of prominent Union men of that
locality; and it was used by them to in
duce men who were disposed to aid the
Rebels to act with the Union men. This
has been substantiated by the affdavits of
the most respectable men of the Union
party, of that section of the country and
General Grant never has nor ever will
deny it,"

Mr.. Pend1eton's Organ on
the Candidates.

For twenty years no man has exerted q
wider influence upon public affairs in the
Democratic party than Governor Seymour;
no man is better known or more admired !;
he not only has no equal in any party, but
he has no riral. Gifted with fine pres
ence, with remarkable and copious flow
of language, with elegant diction, he is
unsurpassed as an orator. He is the pride
and ornament of the Empire State. He
commenced life as Democrat and has
never wavered in his advocacy of that po-
litical faith. In his private life there is
no blemish; his morals are pure; his
reputation untarnished. He was not a
candidate for the nomination for the Pres
idency, but repeatedly declined, and it
was only upon the solicitation of the West
and the unanimous voice of the convention
that he accepted the nomination. Why,
then, should he not be supported by the
Democracy of the entire country! What
objections can reasonably be urged against
him? His character and qualifications
are eminent he is an eminent orator; he
is distinguished as statesman. There is
no comparison between him and Grant,
either politically or personally. He will
be supported by the Democracy and will
be triumphantly elected. He was not
originally the choice of the West, as is
we'll known. They preferred with extra
ordinary unanimity Hon. Geo. H. Pendle-
ton, but owing to adverse circumstances
he has been defeated, and the nomination
has fallen upon Governor Seymour
through the action of Mr.. Pendleton's
friends, We do not hesitate to pledge
him their cordial support.

A Negro Refuses to be AS

Titus Ragland, respectable negro Of

grieved by finding his name placed in a

iOnal Convention, held at Brownsville on
the 23d inst, and he published the follow
ing disclaimer of utilization with the Radi-
Gals in the jackson Wing of the 25th III

pearance of my name in the Wing was the

The use of my name in such connection
was without warrant, and piece of pre-
sumption on the part of those who placed
it there, that can only be accounted for,
but not excused, on the ground of igno-
rance as to my real sentiments. | have

Charges Against the Radi-
calls.

LIST. That the Radicals have violated
the Constitution which they have sworn
to protect; ID. They have endeavored to
eradicate from the minds and hearts of
the people those fundamental principles of
government that constitute the glory of
our race in both hemisphereS, and from
the chief bulwarks of liberty. They have
constantly fostered malice and hatred,
when it was their duty to encourage and
cherish the spirit of fraternity, equality
and liberty in all the sections of the coun-
try. While they have professed to ad-
minister the Government with economy
and purity, they have given license to
the most unlimited corruption and the
most unheard of extravaganza until the
people are placed in the dust by onerous
taxes, in order to maintain the vast ma
chinery which they have evoked in order to
tyranuize over the South. While they
profess to introduce into the country a
purer era, they have introduced into Con.
gress the ferocity of the dog kennel and
the manners of the prize ring.

and ct new government, laying
its I'd IN on such principles, and or
ganiz powers in such form as to them
Shall most likely to affect their safe
ty and biness." Guided by the inn
mortal Truths just quoted from the Dec
laration of Independence, enumerated by
our wise and patriotic fathers to the
world, on the 4th day of July, l776, and
by the first section of the bill of rights to
our own State Constitution, and particu-
larly by the twenty-Second section of the
bill of rights pre6xed to our State Con-
stitution, your right to petition the Cover
nor and Senator's and Representatives for
your common good cannot be questioned.
Said twenty-second section is so plain that
we beg leave to here copy the same, which
is in the following words:
"That the citizens have right in a
peaceable manner to assemble together for
their common good, to instruct their rep
rsseniatires and to apply to those INCEST
ed with the pOwsrs Of government for
redress Of grievances, or other proper
purposes, by address or remonstracs,"
The declaration of rights prefxed to
our State Constitution by section II Of
article XI shall never be violated on any
pretense whatever; but anything contain
ed in the bill of rights are excepted out
of the general powers of our State govern
ment, and shall forever remain inui-
Olatc. They are the character of consti-
tutiohal liberty and free republican gov
eminent, and the organic law of the peo-
pie, and binding upon every department
of our State government. And we conf
IDENTIFY believe if you, the people in ev-
cry county in the State, respectfully me-
morialize the Governor and Senators and
Representatives of our State Legislature,
soon to be assembled at the Capitol, to
provide by law to enfranchise the white
male citizens of the State, to enable them
to vote in all elections that your petition
will be granted, and instead of the an
nouncement of elections bringing terror
and alarm to our citizens, and the same
when ordered held in the presence of an
armed soldiery, all our elections will be
peacable and according to law, and will
be full, fair and lawful expression of the
people of the State in the selection of the
law-making power and all our public Off
GERS, agents and rulers. In conclusion
we beg leave to suggest to the whole State
that, in our judgment, the peace, happi.
ness and good order of the State demands
that we all submit with becoming respect
and obedience to the laws of the land, un.
til they are repealed or declared void by
the courts. And we confidently believe
and trust that all the good people of the
State will see to it that the laws of the
land are observed, and the peace and gooc
order of society preserved, in the hope
and belief that all our political troubles
will find a peaceful solution at the hand
of the people and those entrusted with thu
|. administration of our State.
