GEN. DIX ON sEYrIOUR.

A Democratic office-holder under Jas.
Buchanan, but who loved his country
better than he did party, was Gen. Jno.
A Dix. "If any man pulls down the
American flag. shoot him on the spot"
These were the words of the gallant
General when the majority of his party
made war upon the Union, and with this
sentence he renounc-d his allegiance to
party leaders While personally friend
ly to the most prominent men in the
Democratic ranks, he consults only his
own ideas of justice and right as to what
course he shall pursue. His statements
are therefore deserving of weight as the
convictions of one whose old associa-
tions would naturally. cause him to
oppose the Republican party. Here is
what he says OF Seymour in a letter
recently written to friend in New
York:
have been acquainted with Mr.. Seymour
for more than n quarter of a century. He is
an amiable gentleman, of unexceptionable
private character and respectable talents but

qualification for the suecessful execution of
the high Official trust to which he has been
nominated He Is especially deficient In that
hrmness of purpose which, in critical emer-
geneles, Is the only safeguard against public
disorder and calamity. He has been twice, at
different times, Governor of the State of
New York, and has in neither case had the
talent or tact to keep the Democratic party
OF the State together for more than two
years. i should regard his election at this
iuncture, when steadiness of purpose, decis-
ion, and self-control are so much needed, ns
one of the greatest calamities that could be-
fall the country.

and often and with as many ballots at
time as possible, will be a point of
duty and pecuniarily profitable to these
men, and they will be found making
the fastest time on record" while travel
ling from place TO place and under diff
ferent assumed names on election day.
Il is this deceit and fraud which the
Democracy is preparing to practice on
a mammoth scale, which renders Penn
sylvania doubtful. BY an organized de-
tective system aud simultaneous effort,
the Republican party can defeat these
schemes. If it succeeds in doing this,
if the legal. votes alone are counted.
Pennsylvania ceases to be doubtful, and
will roll up a hadsome majority for
Grant and Colfax.

AN ACTIVE INDIAN CAMPAIGN.

An attempt to keep informed con-
cerning the numerous Indian outrages
that have been perpetrated in Colorado
during the past season, has proved a
frultless task. For weeks at a time, be-
tween one and two persons have been
murdered daily by the red fiends, and
the most diabolical crimes have been
committed. Forbearance on the part of
the whites has at last ceased TO be
virtue, and General Sheridan has en-
tered upon an active Indian campaign.
In recent dispatch to the acting Cow
ernor of Colorado, he stated that his
policy was to break up" the Indians
completely, that he regarded this as the
only available plan to pursue. and that
every man would be put on this duty.
The attempt To follow small raiding
parties had proved fruitless, and he now
proposed to carry the war into Africa"
fight the Indians as nations, rather than
predatory bands, thus forcing them to
recall their raiders, and teaching them
ltcSou indb thtg Will Aub SUM toIStl
1t was while taking part in this cam
paign, that Colonel Forsythe's party
had their terrible battle with the in
dians. as mentioned in our dispatches,
and it is probable that the experiences
of this command will tend TO fill the
whites with a desire for revenge, and
cause the war to be still more vigorous
ly prosecuted upon their part. The
principal tribes operated against are the
Cheyennes and ArapahOes, and it is
hoped that they will receive such pun
ishment for their atrocious cruelties,
as will evermore cause them 10 keep at
a respectful distance from the white
man and his great railroad. In the
treatment of Indians, we believe in the
same policy as that adopted by the old
man with the boy in the apple tree.
Let US try persuasion first, turf next,
and stones as last resort. In Colorado
the third stage of proceedings has been
reached, and we hope TO see a goodly
of the Lo family stoned out of
existence.

DOUBTFUL,

Pennsylvania is considered a doubtful
State in the impending election, and
why2 Not because it is wanting in that
patriotism or love for liberty, which
prompted it to lend its potent support
to the armies of the Union, but because
of the devices of Democracy and the
devil, which are being resorted to for the
purpose of throwing the State into the
power of these two partners in business.
1t has become known that in the State
of Pennsylvania there exists regular
mandatory OF bogus naturalization
papers, provided with the stolen seal of
a court, and with all the machinery nee
essary for putting in a new arrival at
one end of the apparatus, and turning
him out passable voter at the other.
With the Democracy of the keystone
State, as with sacrificing merchant
in tight place, money is no object"
Upon this point hear the Pittsburg Post,
which claims to be the leading cham
pion OF the '1ost cause" Il says:
There is no trouble about the money this
year with the DemocrRts; there is slashins of
it-and why not2 The Democrats stajd ar
home during the war, and got the mule and
other fat contracts during the war. whilst the
Republicans we're getting killed in the army.
That's what's the matter.
This a confession more candid than
we usually hear from the Democracy
and may be looked upon as proof, posi-
tive that every means which money car
influence. is being employed in Pennsyl
vania for the purpose of carrying the
election for Seymour and Blair. The
Democratic party has constantly con.
nected with il q set of hirelings whose
small stock of principles can always be
bought up for a trifing sum and these
persons will be used for the preparation
of every species of fraud. To vote early

NEBRASKA Observation-Disclosures will
hold its State election on Tuesday next
This State has usually given Republic
can majorities. but the Democracy this
year confidently count upon it for them
selves, the reason being that they need
its three electoral votes badly, in order
to make their figuring on the result of
the Presidential contest come out to suit
them. At the election for Governor in
1866 the Republican vote stood 4,093 to
3.94S Democratic. the majority being
145. The election will be hotIy con-
tested and will grant either party only a

Upon the subject of this change in
office the people of Montana can truth
fully say that Mr.. Langtord has been
one of the best officers connected with
the Revenue Department in this or any
other district. His entire official career
has been characterized by degree of
diligence and fairness seldom found in
a public officer. He has the satisfaction
of retiring from office at lis O,oa instance,
and with the good will of every promi-
nent Republican in Montana. Nor is
this good will confined to the limits of
his party. but extends very generally
through the ranks of the Democracy
MIR. Simmons, his successor, is well
known throughout the Territory as a
good business man, prominent Republi-
can, and well qualified to make the office
a popular one. We bespeak for him
that same credit as Collector of Reye-
nue. which deservedly belongs to Mr..
Langford. Such appointees are an honor
and strength to the party of which they
are members

OHIo.--After careful canvass of the
State of Ohio, a Republican majority of
$4,000 is predicted at the approaching
State election. If this prediction should
prove true the result of the Presidential
campaign will be certain, for in thirty
years Ohio has never failed in the ma
tional contest to follow the PRECEDENT set
at the State election.

THE SPANISH REBELLION
SUCCESS.


There seems to be no longer doubt
that the licentious, dissipated and despis-
ed Isabella has lost her throne. and
that Spain is in the hands of the mili-
to power by the abolition of the Salic
law, which prevented other than males
from occupying the throne. she has led a
sorry life and has, on numerous Occa-
sions, narrowly escaped the fate which
has now befallen her. Corrupt in her
morals and selfish in her nature, she has
paid more attention to the qualification
of her own pleasures and ministration
to her desires, than she las to the gov
eminent of her people, and for the pur-
pose of accomplishing these purposes,
has ruled her subjects with a certain
reckless disregard of right, which now
brings it's consequences upon her. With
a waive of the hand, she banished the
objects of her dislike. The Duke and
Duchess of Montpensier, her brother-in-
law and sister, were exiled, General
Serrano and his comrades were shipped
TO the islands for their health, and
others were similarly served. But n bad
penny always will return, and so have
these distastefnl individuals. They
have found the country, and more par>
ticularly, its armed defender" " ready
for revolt. The army is indignant at
the exile of it's favorite generals, the
sailors are unpaid, and, since money
makes the mariners as well as " the
mare CO." they are ready to commence
work for new firm. The citizens of
all parties are shocked at the dissolute
conduct OF the Queen, and have, without
regard To party, united in the movement
TO overthrow one who has brought
neither prosperity, power nor fame, but
only ruin and reproach upon their coun-
try. London dispatches state that the
revolution is the result of a union be
tween the constitutional. moderate and
liberal parties, and that the church
alone, which is bound by every tie TO
the Queen, attempts TO hold the masses
in check. But even priestly power has
been insufficient to restrain the popular
uprising, and the Queen has fled across
the Pyrennees, taking with her her
crown Jewels and sufficient cash to sup
port her during the long absence from
home which seems in prospect for her
What form of government, and by
whom represented. will succeed her
reign, now becomes an interesting ques-
ton. That the Montpensiers will be
chosen to rule over Spain is regarded as
improbable from the known dislike of
Napoleon to the Orleans family, of
which the Duke of Montpensier, being
the son of the French king Louis Phil
lippe, is a member. That the "Carlists,"
the representatives of Isabella's uncle
Carlos" who would have ascended the
throne but for the repeal of the Salic
law, will be chosen To hold the reins of
government, is regarded as equally i'm
probable. A republic seems to be looked
upon with disfavor, and the future of
the government is clouded in uncer~
tainty. Whatever it may be it can
hardly fail to be an improvement on the
past.

TEST OATns.-Iest ,oaths have been the favored
weapons of vindictive legislation, by factious. power in
all ages, and especially in those marked by strong po-
iitical commissions. They are t~wo-edged swords, in
tended to operate upon the fears of the timid and con-
scientious, and to expose to punishment, under charges
of perjury the fearless and the bold. Everywhere now.
where the right of suffrage or the right of Office is in
volved, the rump Congress has imposed an oath-an
oath unknown to our fathers is rendered on the floor
of Congress-for the purpose Of prescribing all men
who sympathised with our section and or country
men in the late terrible war of sections. No man from
the South can take his seat.in thatsbody y, at the pres
ent time, without either swearing truly that he felt no
sympathy for us in thatuaeqgahand terrible contest which
laid our~seetion.in ashes and carried death and mourn
ing into every family, or Understanding falsely, for the
sake Ofs,petty association with a body whose vindic-
tive spirit. seeks TO punish the. dead, to insult the living
and to degrade, forall time, a white posterity. What
interest have we in being represented in such a body,
and by any man who is either willing or capable of
taking that oath? At the registration another oath is
required, to brighten freemen from the polls, from dan
gers of indictments for perjury, on points of doubtful
construction. And again, all officials appointed or
elected under the proposed new constitution are re-
CURED to swear that they will maintain the civil and
political equality of the races, before even being sworn
to support the Constitution of the United States. 1t
is so much more important that it ~preeedes, in the
order of place, the obligation to support that venera-
ted work of our forefathers, who, poor dead patriots,
being white men, made it for white men.
