THE CRY Is STILL THEY COME. /"
Gen Richard Coulter, of Pennsylvania,
JOINS the Democrecy.


BY the Democrat, of Greensburg,
Pa, we learn that General Richard
Coulter addressed Democratic meet.
ing at Ligonier, Westmoreland coun-
ty. The General was a gallant soldier
in the late war, was Republican and
supported Lincoln in 1860 and 1864.
He now proclaIms for Seymour and
Blair. His speech is reported in full
in the Democrat and he gives IA reason
for the faith within him.
General Coulter prorlaims for 8
white mans governmcnt-aga ne
gro supTemaCy-aga Yankee car
pet begGers being kept in Office South
by an expensive standing army and
freedmeu's bureau. He ftvors econo-
my in the expenses and says Grant,
his old commander, wOuld only be
President by brevet. He concludes
his excellent speech AS follows:
But the Republicans say that if
Grant Is not elected there will be an
utncr waraud another rebellion. But
now who is there to rebel: Who is
there tO make and carry on war
Ia iU The Democrats here North?
Why shOaid they rebel? They will
have elected their man and they will
Ge satisfied and will want no war. Is
IL the meu at the south VINO rCbelleti
before VINO viii do it? IhInk not.
They will be the last men ever To re bel
against this or any other government;
thsy have had enough of il and there
Is not Il man there who will shoulder
u musSet in any such quarrel.
/ saw the feeling and disposition Of
the southern army Ht AppumAttOx
Court House duriug the four hours of
truce and while each army lay in
sight of each other, with pickets
thrown out, awaiting the result of the
negotiations. The officers and men of
both armies mingled with each other
and intCrchauged sentiments aud feel
ingS. rode through the rebel iiues
and among them. They We're whip
ped and badly whipped. They ac-
knOwledged it. They were worse
than whipped; they were starved, and
sOon subdues an enemy. 1
saw the feeling Of submission that was
exhibited there-the same feeling that
has prompted obedience sInce-thau
has kept down guerilla bands and
caused the order there has been there
since. We divided our rations with
them ; my own cOmmiSsary fed them,
and the very men who but an hour
before had been training artillery for n
deadly struggle shared all they had
with their conquered enemy, and did
it, too, with q mauliness and good
feeling that would have made the men
blush with shame who, -iuce then,
have tried to re.agitate the questions
there settled and who always found it
cheaper to talk than fight-and not
half 80 dangerous. The man who
talks about revolution with guns is
a fool or knaVe. There can be no
rebellion there VI hile the memory of
the last one remains. Who, then, is
there to rebel, If neither the Demo-
Gratis nor the South :? The South re
belled because they were defeated and
could not succeed in their plans.
There are none to inaugurate rebel
Ion and WAT except those same truly
ioyap' men who now talk about war.
Nobody but this same valiant Repub.
Hcan party to raise rebellion, to sat
sify their thirst for revenge at their
disappointment and loss of power and
to cover up the traces of their mis-.
deeds. 1t will be with them, and with
them alone, to introduce . strife which
will be flercer and bloodier than the
last.
The election of Seymour and BlaiI
will be of immense benefit 10 the
country. They will come to the ad
ministratiOn of publicaffairs endorsed
by the people. Their election will
check usurpation, prodigality and
waste, and will afford chance for the
investigation of what has become o.
all this money-of all these thousand:
ofmilliOns OF dollars. The Democrats
do not fear it, for they have not had
their fingers in the pie for the las
eight years and their skirts are clean
But somebody has been stealing, and
stealing a good deal, and the people
want TO know who il was, and tn,
search that will be made hereafter in
that direction will be sharp and close
