Withdrawal Of Seymour and Blair,

Some of the Democratic papers are still
anxious for the withdrawal Of Seymour
and Blair, aud the substitution of less OBJ
jectional candidates The National In
telJtgenpcer, printed at the national capitol
is especially clamorous fer change The
LntcIJagepcer after reviewing the situation
of parties says:
"Under the existing circumstances il
would be unwise, uncandid and unjust tc
attempt to cheat or deceive the Conserva
tive masses Of the people of this country
with delusive suggestions, promises or as,
sertionIthat the Republican candidates will
be defeated by the Present leaders Of the
Democratic party"
"Our candidates, selected under peculiar
circumstances at New York, have been
tried. Let the Committee now come to-
gether at once and place before the PEG
pie the men who were really the choice of
that Convention, either Chase, Hancock,
johnson, or Hendricks, and theaction will
at once be recognized as one of patriot
&c endeavor, ana will be responded to
from the st. Lawrence to the Rio Grande
and from the Atlantic to the Pacific"

Affairs in Louisiana.

The results of the adoption of the Dem
ocratic platform, declaring the recon
struction acts of Congress unconstitution
al, null and void, are fearfully seen in the
South. The New Orleans papers speak
of assassinations and bloodshed, as being
the order of the day in that city. The
lives and property of Union citizens are
In the utmost peril; the state government
organized in pursuance Of the laws OF
Congress, the ex-rebels are told by the
northern Democracy, are of no binding
force, but mere usurpations 1t is moi
strange therefore that the laws are set at
defiance, and that anarchy and misrule
prevail.
A committee of the Legislature, after
careful examination, has reported on the
peace and order of of the State, that since
the state election there have been two
hundred and four persons killed, tlfty-one
manned by shooting; 100 and forty three
maltreated on account of their political
opinions
A letter from New Orleans states that
"business is almost suspended, and SO will
remain until after election Capitalists
refuse to lend money on the real estate
securities until after the election. Mer.
chants will make no purchases until af
ter the election. Bankers and brokers re.
fuse to discount until after the election
The telegraph brings US further ac-
counts Of riots and assassinations, the
legitimate fruits of the teachings of the
Democratic party, that the laws passed
by Congress are revolutionary and void
That party is responsible for the state Of
affairs in Louisiana, and the murder OF
Union men all over the South What a
charnel-house would it become if the Cop
perheads had Frank Blair in the White
House.

WHAT SEYMOUR SAYS OF BLAR.-Sey.
mour in his speech made at Buffalo last
week, explained TO theEpeople that they
need have no apprehension of mischief
from Blair. Seymour stated the case as
follows:
of the Democratic ticket is elected and
and Gen. Blair should reach the president
lal chair, how would the case stand ? He
would be confronted by Republican
Senate, by a house of Representatives full
OF Generals; by the army of the United
States, thanked by the loyal leagues and
by the grand armies of the Republic under
the command of their own candidate for
the Presidency whom they declare to be
the first captain of the age and yet we
are gravely told that standing alone
shackled by congressional restraints he
can crush out all this power and plunge
the country into civil war"
So it will be seen that Seymour thinks
there will be no trouble in restraining
Blair, admitting he is bad man. Is that
the kind of candidate, the Democracy are
reduced to the necessity of voting for9

Mourning,

A leading Democratic journal in the
State has an obituary notice of the death
of Howell Cobb, commencing as follows
"The good men of the nation will pause
g moment amid the warfare of parties in
sorrow for the death of Howell Cobb"
To the foregoing lament the Madison
journal replies
"Who was Howell Cobb? A bitter en-
envy of the American Union An Ex-reb-
81 General, An advocate of the right of
secession. A man who has added PERU
ry to the crime of rebellion. At one time
commander. of the Andersonville stock
ade, where Union prisoners were denied
hres to warm them, shelter from the
storm, wholesome water to drink, and
where thousands died of famine and ex
posure. We don't think the good men of
the nation" need to feel that there is any
great location for sorrow over the death
of such man. Nor is it wise in his
friends to call attention to his memory.
If he had done battle in defence of the
Union as Grant, and Sherman, and Sheri-
dan, and Thomas, and Dix have done, the
Ne'0S would have heaped obliquy instead
OF praise upon his memory.

The Issue On Tuesday, Nov. 3d.

The issue on Tuesday next is asdistinct
between Unionism and Rebellion as at
any period during the war of the rebel
lion The Union Republican party has
arrayed against it now precisely the same
class of men and the same influences, as
were its determined enemies while the
battles between our Union soldiers and
the rebels were being fought on the field.
The great mass of the Democratic party
north was the ally of the South during
the war. This is evidenced by its public
declarations In National Convention at
Chicago, in 1864, the Democratic party
declared the war a failure, and demanded
the Immediate cessation of hostilities
against the South The Democrats de-
nounced the war for compelling thesoced-
ed states to return to the Union as ,t1tcon-
stitutional, oppressive and wrong Not.
withstanding all the obstacles which Pres.
ident Lincoln had to encounter from Dem
ocratic opposition to the war, the rebels
were finally overpowered, but it must be
confessed they Were not enough whipped.
The rebels, maddsned by the recollec-
ton OF the reversss they have received
in the attempt to overthrow the Union,
are now making last and desperate ef-
fort to regain control of the National
Government. They have in nomination
President and Vice President suited to
their liking; also platform tho revolu-
tionary part of which Wade Hampton says,
was most cheerfully inserted on his own
recommendation. Every rebel whose
hands have been stained with the blood
Of onr Union soldiers, is now clamorous
for the election of Seymour and Blair.
The northern Democracy are now joined
hand in hand with the old rebel enemies
OF the Union--stand upon the same plat.
form, and labor for the election of the
same candidates for the Presidency.
Every voter on Tuesday next will de-
hberately choose his position if he cast
his vote for Seymour and Blair, he will
as logical necessity, take his stand in
the rebel ranks and aid in the re-instate
ment o. the rebels in power. He will by
his act declare, that he believes the rebels
have always been right, and the Union
men who sought to suppress the rebellion
always wrong. If he cast his vote for
Grant and Colfax, he will show by his acts
that he was Union man during the strug
gle to preserve the life of the nation. and
that be now believes that Union men and
not rebels ought to have control of the
national Government.
Every voter should remember that the
ballot he casts on Tuesday next will con
stitute an important era in his life. The
Presidential election of 1868 will be
marked period in American history. The
men OF whom it shall be said in after
years, they voted in 1858, the same ticket
and supported the same platform, which
unrepentant rebels delighted in com
mending, will meet an ugly record. In
TINS important crisis of our history. men
can hardly expect the course they pursue
In the exercise of the right of suffrage,
Will be overlooked and forgotten. Voter
can you afford on Tuesday next to be |
round voting as rebels vote and thus en-
dorslng treason!

WHY WAS MITCHELL NOMINATED ?--Wat
Alexander Mitchell nominated fer Congress
because he has any particular fitness? Ger
tainly not. He has never had any legislative
experience OF any kind-net even as a mem.
Der of board, ofcounty town supervisors.
He knows as little of Congressional proceed
ings as boy in the primary school. He has
never exhibited any talent as a speaker or a
writer. He never has been distinguished for
charitable or liberal giving. His whole life
has been narrowed into one ehannel-getting
and saving money. In this, he has been sue
cesful having, it is said, amassed two millions
Of dollars.
1t is said, therefore, that Mr.. Mitchell was
nominated wholly for the consideration of his
money The Democracy calculated upon
bleeding him freely and bring his abundant
Joo''dS' to bear on the election.
against this man Mitchell we have in nsmi-
nation Hon. H. E. Paine, the brave soldier.
the unfinching patriot, the eloquent advo
cate, and the influential statesman. Gen.
Paine proved his devotion to the country bv
psrilipg his life, and losing one of his limbs
in the service. Gen. Paine is comparatively
poor; he has no money to spend in the can
vass. He comes before the people rich In
good name, and with a reputation irrepreach
able. What voter with any sense of patriot
ism; with any proper discrimination of merit
VIII fail to prefer Gen. Paine to Alexander
Mitchell?
