DIR. Morgan, a prominent and inau-
ential citizen of Evansville, Ind, who
has been life,long opponent Of the
Democracy, has left the Radical party
and come ont for Seymour and Blair.
He made a great speech at Evansville,
wednesday night, the l2th inst, and
the Courier of that place, its con-
Guiding paragraph, noticing the effort,
says; ~ 4
I've cannot at this late hour follow the
Doctor ftrther-snflice il TO say that his
speech was one Of the most convincing and
effective we have ever listened to. To use
the express terms of an enthusiastic Demo
crat. Every word he spoke weighed ten
pounds. We hope TO hear from the Doctor
often during the campaign"
Judge bingham, Of LaGrange, Georgia,
who has heretofore been identified with
the Radicals, has abandoned that party
and come out boldly and manfully for
Seymour and Blair. In letter printed
in tho LaGrange Reportey, he says
81 intend 10 support Horatio Seymour
for the Presidency because i want peace.
NOt lull in the tempest but that peace
which only the complete and permanent
of the Union can secure.
And, without any disparagement to others,
in my Judgment, Mr.. Seymour Is the man
who best emboiies the re-establiEhment of
the Union on principles Of equality. and
ldstioe, and constitutional law. BY natural |
endowm he is possessed of great ability.
BY education aud lifelong study, he is a
philosopher in craftsmanship; 10y expert

been the Chief Executive Of New York, a |
position scarcely less important in il do |

GEORGIA. ron sEYmOUR

The news from Georgia is of the most
encouraging character. The Democrats
are confident of carrying that State by a
large majority, so rapid and extensive
have been the changes within few days
Of both white and black voters. The
Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel, paper
not likely to be unduly excited by enthu-
siasm, has in its issue of the 10Th inst.
the following reference to the progress Of
the canvass in that State
The accounts which we receive from the
different portions Of the State through our
exchanges, private letters, and personal
observation, inspires lis with the belief that
the canvass is 80 far progressing as effect
lively, and with far greater prospects of an
overwhelming victory, than we had antici-
pated. The people everywhere are fully
aroused, and the work of. organization is
being pushed with vigor and enthusiasm
heretofore rarely witnessed in the State.
The fifteen or twenty thousand white
voters who, soduced by the false promise of
relief, or frightened by the silly bugbear of
confscation, voted with the Radicals in the
late GubernatOrial contest, are everywhere
renouncing Radicalism and returning TO
the true faith.
Side by side with those prOdical sons of
the white race we find thousands of the
more honest and intelligent negroes march
ing boldly to. the rescue of Democratic
principles and the restoration of cOnstitu-
tional government.
We have never known such sudden, ex-
tensiVe and overwhelming changes as have
been wrought within the last twenty days.
We had calculated that, with the accession
of the ten or fifteen thousand white votes
disfranchised by the military bills, and the
certainty Of free election and an honest
count of the ballots, we should carry the
Stale by fifteen or twenty thousand major
iiy. But the current of changes has set
so strong with the DemOcracy-the demon
aIizaIion of the Radicals is so complete
the organization Of the Democracy 80 per-
fect-that if our friends continue their ex- |
ertions 10 the end of the campaign with
only half the zeal and activity they now
we shall carry the State by forty
or fifty thousand majority for Seymour
aud Blair ....-
This ia no wild prediction. II is based |
upon facts and figures which assure US of |
its approximate certainty. Let the true |
men OF the country but will it, and IL is |
already accomplished. Let every man
work, in season aud out Of season, from
now until the LIST of November, and we
slsdl have no fears that we may be forced |
10 change our figures.

PRESIDENT JOHNSON AND THE
NEW YORK CONVENTION.

In an article with this caption the Ma
tioRGI Iilteltigenccr says:
The support Of the Sout hern States must
have been most grateful to him. 1t reflected
honor upon them. IL was the only acknowl-
edgment of Mr.. Johnson's zeal and watch
fitness and striving and whole-hearied
championship in their behalf which it was
| in their power TO make, and as they made
| it, it was one of the most graceful and ai-
| fecting compliments ever paid 10 a public
man. Heaven knows the hand of persecu-
| ton and the foot of tyranny have left them
little to give; but all they then could give
they gave:
Their cause was his cause. The oppressed
everywhere found refuge, and an extended
hand in his broad nature. To preserve his
country from the ravages of the destroying
spirit which has run madly up and down
the land for the last few years, has been the
task which he voluntarily set before him,
| and to which he has been devoted with
marvellous energy and faithfulness. He
reasons as the fathers of the nation reasoned
when American liberty was new, and long
| ere the conflict Of clashing ambition and
licentious passions had risen to threaten its
overthrow. In the principles of govern
ment in which they believed he believes
most profoundly. The system which they
conceived and brought into action he would
cherish through all hazards to the last :.
His faith is fixed in it, and fire has tried
his faith. OF the Constitution which they
| ordained, whose wisdom time has tested
which has ever been the luminous guide of
the American people, and without which
they would grope along in darkness and
stumble into ruin, he is one of the most
conspicuous and powerful defenders. Such
is the character and course of Mr.. johnson
az stamped upon his age and country. The
calm judgment of the future will do him
Justice. Posterity will not forget, nor cease
TO honor him. His precepts, his purity
and patriotism will run like line of light
down the ages. In his cOuntIy's history he
has secured for himself a name of im perish-
able renown. No brighter page will glow
with the glory of her children's deeds than
that which records his labors, and what he
endured to serve his country in the crisis
of her calamities, succor her in her hour Of
agony, and bind up her bleeding wounds.
Generations to come will read it with pride
and gratitude, and breathe benedictions
upon his memory. His policy is that of
the country, and the election of Seymour
and Blair, while restoring peace, prosper
ity, and constitutional liberty, will be the
vindication by grateful people of Presi-
dent johnson and the policy he has pre-
sented

. RADICAL KU-KLUX DISCOVERED

A strange discovery was made few
days ago in room adjoining the one in
vhichpim Guthrie, a Commissioner Of Reg
istration, does the dirty work Of BroWnlow
for this county. The room is under the
control Of said dirty work jim, and the
objects found were no less than several
suits of outlandish regalia, such as the Ku-
Klux are reputed to wear. Jim's attention
was called TO the singular fact. He seemed
confused, for marvel blushed, looked
guilty and stammered out that he found
those things there on taking possession ofthe
house. OF course il stands Jim in hand 90
make some explanation sitter the late act of
the Legislature against the Ku-Klux. But
it's of no use, for, when the gentleman
finding these strange habiliments proposed
to carry them away, jim strenuOusIy OBJ
jected. This settles the question of guilt
or innocence, Jim is without doubt a
Ku-Klux. This explains another thing
those highly embellished pl&cards, which
several months ago breathed blood, ihun-
der and birthstone every morning for
several days from his door. Jim, no doubt,
posted these placards there, and is believed
to be the identical fellow who figured in
them under the mythical name of Grand
