ROBERT SHA,
Southern ssntimen. Secession no Folly.

.TFrom The Meridian tMiss.) Mercury, Aug Isl
The chairman Of our committee has com
united the canvass to the proposition that
secession was revolution and folly" To
admit that is TO half cundone all the wrongs
the Republican party has inflicted upon the
people Of the South and still further con-
template, a remembrance of which makes
the South solid and binds us together TO OPP
pose it. To admit it is TO admit that the
people of the Southern States committed
rank treason and waged four-years' war
of treason. To admit it is to admit that JEFF
ferson Davis deserved to have been hanged
upon that ''sour apple tree, and only was
saved by the magnanimity and forgiveness
of the conquerors. To admit 1t is to confess
that every willing Confederate neck might
rightfully have been claimed by the halter.
To admit il is TO admit that Andy johnson
uttered a patriotic sentiment. when he said,
TRAITORS must be punished and treason made
o1ious" 1t is to admit that our punishment
that has been inflicted upon us-reconstruc-
ton, carpet-baggery, negro supremacy,
plumber, spoliation and ATLAS been de-
served, aud that We got off well in saving
our necks 1t is, in fine, 10 admit
tina we have no just and reasonable

THETE was a verv wide difference between
loyal, war Democrat, and pro-slavery
ence not to be lightly overlooked or soon
forgotten. The two classes are still distinct
and it is a distinction which every loyal
Democrat should wish to have preserved.
One way TO preserve that distinction is to
vote Gown the men of the latter stripe when
They come up for office. If loyalty 10 the
country and tho llag, 10 freedom and the
MON, is vir',h-, il is well 10 recognize it
by declining 10 vote 10 honor men who had
no words bu; words of coniumely and re-
proafl for tho loyai-lcfenders of the Union.

GOV. CORNELL CONFIDENT


Gov. Cornell has commonly refused to be
interviewed; but a Tribune correspondent
succeeded in getting an expression OF his
views on the situation in New York, at Al
bany a day or two since. MIR. Cornelfs
prominence in the party and in the State
his long experience as chairman of the Re
publican State Committee, and his large ac-
quaintancc with public men, make his views
of importance He said, in substance:
Judging from my own observation and
the information which reaches me from vari-
Gus sources, there can be no question of the
success of the Republican party.
1t is the general belief of both
Republicans and Democrats that New
York will decide the result of the cleo
ton. If this shall prove true the Republi-
cans need have no apprehension. New York
will unauestionably choose the Republican
electors. The evidences of success are ap-
parent on every side. Never since 1872 has
there been SO promising a canvass in this
State for the Republican party. In the first
place our candidate will receive the votes
of all Republicans This of itself would
carry the State; but we are to have large
vote in addition to our party vote. The
non-p partisan vote, which in 1876 was cast
for Mr. Tilden because it wanted change,
will this year vote the Republican ticket be-
cause it does not want a change This
vote will count at least 30 900, and in chang
ing from one side TO the other will make a
difference of GO, 200 in the result"
In explanation Of what he meant by the
bipartisan vote, the Governor said he in
Guided merchants, bankers and business men
of all kinds THE manufacturers" he
said, ''are especially active and Jealous
among their employees, believing that con-
tinuance of Republican policy is essential to
their continued prosperity. Not more than
- per cent of the voters arc distinctively
party men and continue either Republicans
or Democrats year after year. The other 25
per cent are essentially non-partisan, and to
a greater or less degree shift from one side
to the other as circumstances dictate. The
wonderful prosperity of the country at the
present time will contribute largely to Re-
publican success this year. We have the
return of the tide which So nearly elected
Mr.. Tilden in 1876
After some further conversation as to the
details of New York politics, in reply to en-
inquiry what States he would concede to the
Democrats, the Governor said: None but
the old slave States Our friends are hope
fully contesting everyone Of the free States. At
the recent election Oregon was carried by the
Republicans. aud IN Indiana We are making
a promising canvass for State officers. If We
should carry Indiana. it will give Us every
frse State. This would make nearly 100
majority in the electoral college, and would
instantly end all question as 10 the Presi-
dental succession"

VERMONT has done nobly. The average
Republican majority in the State at the last
five elections for Governor was about %,
900, the maximum-e5 ,S33-beins reached
in 1872, and the minimum 10, 66S-two
years ago. The most sanguine of the esti-
mates which were other than mere guesses
gave the Republicans this year their MAORI
~ of ls.6-betwcen 90, 900 and "a, 000-but
all the returns so far received show that
the majority of 1872 has been exceeded.
Vermont is good for Republican plurality
of least 26, 900, and for an absolute ma
jority of over 81, 900; it sends Republican
Representative from each Of its three Con-
gressional districts, and its Legislature is SO

Wedding in High Life

At Worcester, Mass, September lst, hy
Rev. DR.. y. p. d. Enoy. the Democratic
Party of Massachusetts to The Widow Butler
of Lowell.
No wedding which Las occurred in the
Bay State for many years has attracted SO
much attention or been attended by such
general satisfaction. Both bride and groom
have long been well known rot only in their
own State but throughout the country, and all
who enjoy their acquaintance unite in declar-
ing that they were made for each other. The
bride looked just lovely, beng dressed in a
complete suit of thin illusion. Her hands
were bare, owing TO her preference for hand
ling everything that comes in her way with
out gloves. She wore no veil, and thus all
the crowd present at the wedding were able
to see that her sweet expressive lace was as
bright as twenty-five carat-brass.
The wedding presents were numerous, anu
were all Of the most Promising kind. Strange
as it may seem, not Spoon was rendered
by any of the brides many admirers, and
nil reference to that useful article of table
ware, which generally figures so largely on
the tables devoted to uuptial gifts, was studi-
ously avoided by the happy but sagacious
groom. The Louisiana friends of the young
couple sent an exquisite chrome of Beauty
and the Beast, which it was found difficult 10
hang in what the the Widow regarded as
the right light DR.. Alonzo Garcelon OF
Maine sent a mirth-provokins bust OF the
three graces- Purity, Justice and FAIR
PLAY. Charles Francis Adams, remembering
Emersons remark, 'the only gift is part Of
myself" sent a refrigerator. Samuel j. Til
den sent his best wishes in cypher. Gen.
Hancock sent a superb model, in tilagree, Of
the Dutch Gap Canal. Sunset Cox sent an
excellent study of Shoo-Fly. The groom's
present to the Widow took the form Of
very tender epithalamium, having asits love-
ly refrain
OF all sweet words OF tongue OF pen,
The sweetest are these: I've captured Ben
The Widow gave herself away, and. as
she ccquetIshly remarked to the groom, this
was not the first time that she had given her
self away. away-dead away.
The wedding breakfast which followed the
tying of the nuptial knot, was simply stump
tuous The tables groaned under the weight
of boncd crow, pie a Ia humble and related
luxuries. No spoon victuals were served.
The happy couple left in the evening, on
the Widows yacht, for the Saline river coun-
try, where they expect to spend some years
