opposed every effort of unionsts to quell the rebellion but whenever the rebels made a new move they received no censare from the democratic party of Connecticut For instance The first regiment of negroes was raised during the first year of the war in Now Orleans BY the rebels but no democrat complained of that It was soon found however iBit the negroes began to Lave ideas like freemen so the regiment was disbanded Subsequently New Orleans was captured by our force and this regiment whieh was first raisod by the rebels became the first negro regiment in the Army It was stationed at Ship Island as a garnson during the year of 1862 but participated in tbo siege of Port Hudson When they became union soldiers the democrats could not find words to express their horror but while rebels they were pelted as friends and So It is in the great political war which closes five weeks hence Every negro who can be induced to vote the democratic ticket is a fellow while all who dare to vote for their late leader Gen Grant and the union ticket are persecuted starved and shot May the republican voters of our country soon seud the rebel democracy to their last ditch From the Irlih Republic In the present contest we are convinced that the stability of republican institutions is tho stake that is played for and that must not be lost by any de aultor supineness on our part This government was founded at too great a stcrifice that we should allow any earthly interest to stand against it not even sympathy lor the south whose leaders again rally on that sympathetic trait of Irish character which always commends a to their affections But it is an undeniablq and Important fact that the most far-seeing and sagacious of the southern people themselves deprecate the success ot the democratic candidates as the return of anarchy and arc working earnestly against it whatever the firebrands may assert to the country as the greatest misfortune that could befall them To that considerable class therefore among our countrymen who sympathize with the south during the war and who would undoubtedly have fought loyally on her side had opportunity offered appealing to the faith of treaties as their palliation we say beware how you allow any political of tnis nature to lead you into another morass The true friends of the south will recognize the logic of events and trnst rather to the magnanimity of the soldier who has already given proof of his quality than to the arts of the demagogue tor the return of southern prosperity Erom The New York Day Book A lunatic faction has gotten possession of tkesymbols of power and it is trumping down constitutions laws principles everything on which rests oar republican Institutions in a blind sinful and utterly beastial effort tp realize its idea and incorporate four millions of an inferior species of mankind in our nationality It desires to give freedom to four millions of negroes to abolish the natural supremacy of our race to reverse the order of nature to reform the work ol God and to give thia imaginary and impossible freedom to negroes it now really enslaves eigtit millions of Americans in the South and if Grant is elected and is faithful to the faction that elects him he can only have peace by enslaving the masses of the North and the establishment of a military despotism over the whole country Negro freedom is only possible to men or devils by white slavery tiiat is to force four millions of negroes into the legal status of white people they must strike down the liberty of the latter of necessity and the South Carolinian who some years ago wrote that famous epitaph for his country hero was once a great people who in striving to give freedom to negroes lost their simply predicted a necessary truth From Jhc Democrat 'New York The progress of Jacobin reconstruction at the south is every day demonstrating that the two races cannot and will not rule jointly and coequally One or the other must become subordinate This is the history of all such experiments everywhere No two races races mark you not nationalities ever did or ever will sucoeod in forming themselves into one homogeneous society civil community or coequal ruling power in the state It is an unnatural a lalse an impossible order of things The civil war which the Jacobins have brought on and are perpetuating will last as long as the experiment shall be persisted iq We have abundant evidences already that the blacks and their pretended friends the white carpet-baggers and scalawags cannot get on harmoniously short a period as they have been acting together and strong as is the tie of mutual self interest and safety to make them adhere to each other But race jealousy is springing up and dividing even them We have seen it in Virginia South Carolina and Georgia and now it Is breaking out very decidedly in Louisiana It will prevail everywhere If these common believers in nsgro enfranchisement and white and black equality cannot unite and hold together what hope is there of this taking place between the mass of the Southern whites who are opposed to all this and the negroes If this be impracticable as must be palpable to the understanding of every candid citizen then there can be no peace while the attempt to force the two races into incompatible relation sliall be continued This is the inevitable conclusion and the only proper and practical view which can bo taken of the situation From The Boston Morning Journal It has generally been the case that business during the year of a presidential election was more or less depressed but the present year is an exception Business throughout the country has been good and there will be a balance on the right side of the ledgers of a large majority of our business men It is true that merchants do not find their stocks on hand increasing in value as they did during the second year ot the war but good sbrlng a fair profit and what is of greater consequence purchasers pay for their goods According to democratic authority republican rule has rained the country but we question whether the commercial community ever knew eight years of more unterrupted prosperty The percentage of loss by bad debts was never so trifling as it has been for six years past and this fact is substantiated by the personal experience of nine ont of ten merchants That business continues good may be attributed to the Confidence which la felt in the election of Grant and Colfax The gentleman who recently wrote up the McClellan for the World is great on language wonderful how he did it but he did Here it is read it for yourselves Then there was a cheer Spelt a cheer a Gen Ulysses Grant never heard and nover will hear in all his life It was a cheer long and shrill enough to have bunt the wnd-pines of a million a oaring whirlwind of a a sonorous affectionate as iriny ye a mighty protest against the ln-ustice done to a Hero by a a splendid assurance of the confidence of the people in the justice that history will do Gen McClellan when history comes to be written by calm-minded men instead of fanatics and when the country il at -1" -1 The Memphis Appeal

yesterday by a staunch old war Grant democrat Mr Julius Andrews of Hemlock Grove It is 12 feet 9 inches in length and was grown from seed obtained from the battle field of North Carolina Like General popularity the proportions of corn grown from seed moistened and fertilized by the blood of our Blain heroes seem to be towering higher and higher The tall Union stalk brought to our office a few days since by Mr A Camp and which we thought a wonder in higlit is eclipsed by the one raised by Mr Andrews Who comes next? Mr Andrews obtained the seed from the battle ground a year or go ago while on a visit in that locality It will be remembered that the battle was fought at Forks while Gen Schofield was on his march from Ne wbern to Goldsburgh to join Sherman's on his march from tho sea Tho carnage was lrightful and lasted three days It is estimated that 30000 men were engaged on either side Col Upham and the 15th Regiment of Connecticut Volunteers were in the fight Capt Waterman of Hanover and his company were taken prisoners at the same battle and sent on to Richmond The Southern (Va) Opinion declares that the southern whites must resort to arms in the Banie manner as they did at Camilla for keeping down the negro and securing their own rights We quote Ballots are cheaper than blood and elections better than battles Rut if Grant be chosen aDd we do not misjudge him and his policy then tho disciplined cohorts of the south must be marshaled once more and the issue will be bliall white or black

LET US HAVE PEACE Every lionr brings mutterings of thunder from the south The clouds are gathering the skies are charged with electricitr and people begin to think that something mnst be done to prevent the wholesale slaughter of our loyal brethren in the still disloyal south The first question to be asked respecting the statements of mnrder and rapine of crime and terror which daily fill oar newspapers is are they true They may be exaggerated as first reports usually are but there always remains a substratum of truth which looked at in the most faromple aspect is sufficiently bad That the ku-klux-klan outrages are daily committed that colored citizens are being continually slaughtered and that men who profess union principles cannot dwell in peace on southern soil are facts substantiated beyond the shadow of a doubt What should be the attitnde of the people and especially the action of the press at the present crisis? That bitter ness of feeling should exist among the defeated is not to be wondered at and the only objection to it is that it should be manifested by deeds of violence The question now arises how shall this reign of southern terror be arrested in its destructive progress Not by answering threat with threat not by boasting and self-glorification bat by firmness on the part of the government where state governments do not exist and by the stern administration of justice where they do In addition to thia let the orators of both parties abstain from the nse of intemperate language let the possibility of war be ignored as a platform argument for should unfortunately the time arrive for a second appeal to arms the unionists the preservers of those principles which have made our country great will need no other incentive than the call of dnty It is the duty of newspapers and public speakers to eschew all frantic appeals to the passion and to fight this campaign out on pure argument only and to apply such epithets as and only to such persons or section of the democratic party that they properly belong to Let them remember that in applying these terms to that portion of our German and Irish fellow-citizens connected with the democratic party that they are acting in an knjust and impolitic manner because the majority of them fought in the union army and are therefore entitled to credit for their loyalty and devotion to their adopted country Let tho republican portion of the Dress at any rate set the example and while they adopt the glorious precept given them by our great national savior Grant act out in words and deeds the immortal principle of peace A letter of Secretary Schofield to Gen Grant dated May 25th and congratulating him on his nomination and that of Mr Colfax is just published It is worthy of Gen Schofield's reputation for good sense and moderate opinions This is the concluding half of it have al ways believed that the nnion could be fully re stored only by the men who put down the re hellion while 1 have not been without serious apprehensions that by forcing upon the conn-try extreme radical theoriee the -stability of the government might be endangered Great reforms require thne for their full development In which theoriee may be analyzed and that which is sound and of practical utility separated from the unsound and chimerical Wisdom and moderation in congress will now give ths country restoration and peace Your election to the presidency will be the end of oar poltlcal troubles as your accession to ths command-lnohief of the army was the end of tbs southern rebellion" JOHNSON JOINER AND JOBBER Shop on Veteran street up-stalrs In shop octOant ft RAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC iSrS Will be i meeting of Ifie Grand Army of the Republic" on Friday evening Oct th at Circle Hall for the purpose of reorganizing Ihe order All members having papers in their possession will please bring them Per order POST COMMANDER oct8d3t 8 GALLAOER Adjutant OR HALE A Dwelling House and Lot situated in East Merldeu Price $1600 Terms of sale easy Apply to WHEELER octSdtf West Meriden EWING I rs Edwin Hinckley residing next door from the residence of Rogers on Brltanuia Row is prepared to do all kinds of SEWING AND STITCHING by machine or otherwise at short order and in the very best manner having had a lonj business experience at tlie oct3dlf EAD!
