Mr. VIM. A. Wheeler, the Republican
candidate for Vice President of the United
States, made aspeech recently at st. Adams,
Vermont, in which he out-Mortoned Morton,
waving the bloody shirt more ferociously
than even that sanguinary statesman. Mr.
Wheeler declares the North must regard the
South with the same feeling it did while war
were in progress. His abuse of the. South
and the general tone and temper ofhis speech
was beneath the dignity of statesman, and
calculated TO injurc instead of benefittcng
his cause

OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
New YORK, AUG. 2Gih


POLITICAL ITEMS.
Too many people suppose that because the
Republican managers arc conducting their can
vass quietly, that they are not doing much work
This is mistake. They are now engaged in
maturing one of the greatest schemes of vilainy
that even MCy have ever attempted. Every
thing, however, is being done with the utmost
secrecy. They know that if their designs were
to become known, defeat would be CERTAIN
Their speakers are either themselves kept in the
dark about the true meaning of the campaign,
or they are instructed not to let one word drop
which shall give hint of what is brewing
We shall be edited with vllilications of Tilden
and tho Democratic party old wounds, made
during the war; will lie laid bare and ruthlcssy
torn open, but no word will be allowed to drop
which could convey an idea of what Hayes
Administration would mean,
Governor Tilden evidently saw the bearing of
the question when, in his Letter of Acceptance,
he made that allusion to the way in which, in
with the army had been able to rule the people
"even under universal suffrage" Governor
Hendricks, too, it would seem, had some fore
holdings of the evil when he said, "Ihope never
again to see the cruel and remorseless proscrp-
tion for political opinions, which has dsgraccd
the Administration for the past eight years"
There is no doubt that at the coming election
we must be prepared to SEQ the most insoent
attempts made by the Administration party to
cocrce public opinion, and the most villainous
measures for suppressing the popular will put
into operation, Already are preparations being
made for sending TO the South the newly levied
troops. That whole section will be placed un-
der military domination, and the "bloody shirt
with money" business will be carried on
throughout the North. The latter part of the
play need not trouble us much; the people have
seen too many bloody shirts lately to be alarmed
at the sight of one or two more, and money cam
not buy them to aid in the preparation of furtE.
or injury TO their country
The South, however, has TO be very carefully
watched. Morton's 10000 majority was no
chimera of disordered Imagination He spoke
by the book, and knew how it was to be pro-
cured. He knew that with the intention of
prcservingthc country from the danger of future
Indian disturbances, Congress had placed in the
Presidents hands an engine of destruction
The troops are not required to fight the say
ages, but under Don Camoron's recent order
they may be made very useful to cope with
other adversarics of the Administration. We
shall soon find them quartcred at st. Louis.
The South will submit. 1t must submit
But will the North any longer sit down and see

ton TO which their Southern ethrer have so
long had to submit at the bayonet's point
The people of the North must remember that
what they permit in ono section may be applied
to another. If they any longer close their eyes
to the indigniies of the South, they can not
afterwards complain If they are made to endure
the same. Indeed, they may make up their
minds that if these Southern tactics are allowed
to succeed now, the whole country viii before
long be under the same dcspotic rule. That
they are not prepared TO thus surrender their

DEATH OF SPEAKER KERR.
Some days have now elapsed since this mclan.

his presence was tower of strength. And we

lamentable, and, at the same time, convincing

their land to such n condition as not only to

The NatiO,,,s Fuiure.

The people must bear in mind that by the
result of the coming election will be settled
the question of the manner in which the
nation will inauguratc the second century of
its existence. Upon the nature of their de.
csion in this matter will, in all probability,
depend The nature of the second centennial
celebration. AT this Time We haye big
show at Philadelphia, and VIC have lately
seen much bunting flying, and heard much
banging, cracking, and patriotic speaking,
yet underlying all this there is II painful de-
preston of spirits nj the spectacle which we
present to the world. Trade ruined the
army outwilted and defeated by band of
savages the navy almost worthless, notwith-
standing the enormous sums that have been
appropriated for lis conservation; capital
unemployed and labor sitting idle in the
streets the government in the hands of the
perfidious and corrupt, and this the cause
of all the other evils. Shall the second CEN
tennial witness q similarly dtplorable con-
dition of affairs? The people have it in
their power now to answer this question:
If they elect the Cincinnati ticket, they will
perpetuate all the ills which now the country
is enduring. These will grow, and as they
increase in size and strength, they will be-
come so embedded in the soil, that it will be
impossible to uproot them. The second cen
tennial will be no better than the first. If,
however, as there can be no doubt they will,
they give their suffrages to Tilden and Hen
bricks, they will send in men who will make
short work with dishonesty, in whatever
guise it may appear, and the second centen-
NAL will be gloriously celebrated by happy
and contented population, who will honor
and reverence the names of those who fought
