STILL, LIVES,
Since the nomination of Seymour
and Blair it is the beast of such recent
rebels as Vance, Wise and Wade
Hampton that the spirit of secession
"still lives." While on his way to
the New York convention, Wade
Hampton stopped at Lee's Military out
fit, where the young chivalric "idea"
is taught how to "shoot" yankees. and
there in reepot.se to a toast to Stone
wall Jackson, said the cause for
which Stonewall Jackson died, would
never die, but would revive again. He
came straight to New York to help re
vive it, and the result is that on his way
back he had the pleasure of telling his
Confederate friends that it was already
revived that it "still lives" and that
the best way to serve the cause rras to
vote for Seymour and Blair. Ex-Gov.
Wise says the seme thing, so does
Vance. Honest voters, do you wish
to serve "the cause" for which Stone
wall Jackson died ? If you do Wade
Hampton tells you how it can best be
dene by votiDg for Seymour and
Blair.

Wade Hampton, now one of the gr.;at

said in a recent speech that they (the

loyal Democrat? Do you wish to sup
port a party in which such men can be
pillars without sacrificing their princi
ples? Can you work should' o shoul
der with them in opposition to the man
who saved our nation, without lacrific
ing your principles ? We agree with
Wade Hampton that sucn men as
Semmes, Forest and Quantrel could
not act with the Republican party with
out sacrificing their principles, and we
also believe that no man who was laj-
al to the government during the re
rebellion can act with those men with
out a sacrifice of principle on the part
of some one. Who is going to make
the sacrifice Hampton says they do
not do it.
WAR OK PEACE.
That is the issue in the present cam
paign, as distinctly made by the De
mocratic party. We had hoped the
late appeal to arms by the Democratic
party had settled the questions for
which the war was wged, but it ap
pears the rebel element is not get satis
fied. Does any intelligent man doubt
that this is the issue, as made by the
Democratic-party ?
If he does let him
particularly note the course during the
war of every now prominent Democra
tic leader, note well the enunciations of
Frank Blair, the Democratic platform,
the joy manifested by every unregen-
erated rebel of the South, at the pros
pect of seeing "the cause for
which Stonewall Jrckson died'r again
revived and made successful. What
else than war can be the result of car
rying out the policy enunciated by
Frank Blair and endorsed by the De
mocratic Platform, He states a plain
proposition, to overturn the State Gov
ernments of the South by force of arms
if the Democratic ticket is successful,
1 . 1 m a
ana the piatrorm paves the way to
this action by declaring these govern
ments unconstitutional and void."
The issue is plain; and, according to
Blair, it is the "only issue" in thesom
baf It may not be the oniy one, but
the importance to the American nation
of this issue is cf such magnitude that
all others are dwarfed beside it. The
party lines wiil be just as distinct as
the issue. Every man who is opposed
to the inauguration cf another rebel
lion to overthrow the State governments
of the South will vote for Grant and
Colfax, and every man who favors the
inauguration of such rebellion will vote
for Seymour and Blair. Some per
sons may think these things are said
merely for partizan purposes; but we
ask every candid man to look the situa
tion square in the face and say wheth
er or not we are correct. The truth
is the Democratic party was compelled
to make this issue or forever hide its
head. It was life or death with it,
and the scale was bound to turn with
"the cause for which Stonewall Jack
son died." The Democratic party is
so closely allied with the rebellion
that it never can hope to gain favor in
the nation while the late rebellion is
considered a crime, and the only hope
it has 13 to mike the rebellion respec
table by yet making it a success. As
much as we deplore tha necessity of
acknowledging this state of affairs un
der our Republican Government, yet
no sane man can but see that we are
correct, and that the real issue, as laid
down by Frank Blair, ratified by the
Democratic platform, and is sustained
by every unrepentant rebel in the land,
is whether the late rebellion shall be
made a success or whether it shall go
down to oblivion with the political party
which sustained it.

A New York paper mentions the
fact that the keeper of Ihe I.ibby Pri
son during the war was a delegate to
the New York Convent.on, and while
perambulating the streets of the city he
unluckily met with two Union soldiers
who had been under Lis brutal charge
at the infamous prison. Recalling the
horrors they were compelled to suffer
at his hands, the blood mounted in
their veins, they sprang upon and gave
him a thorough drubbing.
Now a delegate to a convention is
entitled to receive favors from the can
didates he assists In nominating if they
are elected. Should Seymour and
Blair be elected, this keeper of Libby
Prison will be entitled to some office
perhaps a Colonel's place in the regu
lar army. How will the boys who
wore the blue like to see the fiends
who starved and murdered their un
fortunate comrades receiving commis
sion! m the army.

If any one doubts the real policy -of
the copperhead party, let them waicti
carefully the party papers and orators,
see if they do dot see the rebel in them

Mr.
A. J. PotHleton made a speech in
-
Omaha recently, in which he said
"When the passions of men have
subsided, impartial history will write
that no braver, no nobler, co more
honorable foe ever drew sword in de
fense of any cause, and maintained it
with more heroic devotion than that
army of Northern Virginia, which
melted away as Sherman closed upon
its rear, while the tide of death, hurled
upon its front, had never broken a
line."
Does any man in Nebraska remem
ber tohae ever heord Mr Poppleton,
or any other topperhead orator, say
one half this much in favor of the
Union army. That Mr. Poppleton ex
pect Blair to be President if the ticket
is elected, is clearly shown by the
following :
And
if in God's providence, he
fRlairl should ever reach the Presi
denlial chair, woe be to time servers
and corraptioniats, and perjurors, and
fanatics, and desecrators of the temple
of liberty, for a man of the iron soul
of Jackson will hold the helm of State.
Should the copperhead ticket be
elected, but one life would stand be

more than ambition. Seymour declar

country. Speaking of this reconstruc
matter, Mr Poppleton say:
"Every lawyer knows that all this
infamous legislation is unconstitutional
and therefore noil and void.
This is an endorsement . of Blair's
revolutionary policy, and such asser

THE 3IECTIXGAT ASHLAND
Asulakd Nzn. July 27th 1SC8.
Mb. Editih, One of the largest
and most enthuiiiatic meetings thai has
ever been knows in Central Nbras
ka, was held at this point on Saturday
last. Although the harvest which was
not yet quite completed almost empha
licaly dem&nded that every man should
be engaged in it. the feeling for Grant
and Colfax, and a desire to advance
the best interest of the Republican
party, sailed from the fields many who
would not have left for any ether rea
son Delegates from the Valleys of
Salt, Wahoo, anl Clear Creeks and
tho Platte entered town at 2 p. m
ana it is estimated that about one
thousand people were present. The
meeting was called to order by elect
ing Hon. A B. Fuller lo the chair and
Hon. L. K. Bell Secretary. The
opening speech was made by Mr.
Pottecger of Plaitsmouth, who occupied
th stand for half an hour, scoring the
copperhead party in a manner which
left many a gaping wound. Mr. Pol
tenger was followed by Col. Cropy,
Maj. Strunk and Mr. Gere, cf - Lin
coln, who in short but effective speeches
showed the afiliation of Democracy and
treason, and read a sad record of Sey
mour and Blair. Hon. T M. Mar
quette next took the stand, and for an
hour held the audiance with marked
attention, apealing to the reason and
judgement of men in a maoLer which
was irresistable, and closing with one
of the finest perorations on the charac
ter and acts of Gen. Grant that we have
ttver heard. Gen Livingston then
took the stand, irwl analyzed the char
acter of the Convention which placed
in nomination Seymour and Blair,
showing that traitors and treason were
permitted to take front seats in ah
their deliberations, and that the oJium
that ought justly to be heaped upon
those who for years were engaged in
bloody war against the institutions of
freedom, svas buried in the longim;
deeiro to gain coutroie of the affair of
the government by the Democracy.
The meeting was then closed by three
loud and lusty cheers for Grant and
Colfax. It was announced that there
would be another Grand Republican
Rally at this place four weeks from
that day. ' Jebry.
In the House of Commons was a

misdeeds and his detestable characer,
appealing then to the house in eloquent
words, 'Where can a more dK-graceful
and conteuptible being be found !"
"Hear ! bear !" cried our noisy friend.

and illegal governments in the South
ern States, by promulgating that decis
ion, which would leave them without
foundation in law. and without the
moral support of any except the pro
moters of anarchy and the 'architects

Concerning Frank Blair, this Con

A Model Democratic Itatifica
tiou.
The ratification of the action of the
Democratic Convention nt New York,
which took place at Mobile on the eve
Ling of thi l3;b, in st., was a lively
affair. "Admiral" 6 'mines was the
fmt speaker. He said :
I have been a Democrat all my life
-before the war, during ihe war, and
since me war ami rougnt the war on
ths principles of Democracy, believing
that the grai.d old Constitution which
embodied these principles was about to
be destroyed. I drew my sword
against the old flag ; the old flag which
no longer represented these principles;
it was not the nag of 1776 against
which I drew my sword, but the flag
which had become "a flaunting lie," so
called by prominent politicians of the
North, But now, in spite of the efforts
of those Doliticians, who endeavored to
strangle the old Democratic party, by
erecting in its hlead a new Conserva
live party a sort of conglomerated
party which was to compromise po!i
ticians of every shade cf opinions, the
grand old Democratic party has arisen
from the long slurroer trom which it
had endulged, and now gives signs of
new life and vitality, and I have come
here to night from the country to rati
fy und rejoice with you in the nomina
tion of Seymour and 1 lair.
After sayirg that the result of a
Democratic victory would be to drive
from the South "thu hordes of adven
turers who have swarmed like vultures
to eat up the substance of the people,'"
and to "reduce the negro to a subordi
oate posiiion as the inferior race," he
concluded as follows :
"When you have settled this issue,
it will be time enough to talk about 1
policy. It will be time enough to rid
ourselves of the leprous army which
has been fattening upon the wealth of
the South. Ii will be time enough lo
settle questions of the currency. It
will be time enough to destroy the tariff
and taxation under which the i ation
has been groaning. And now, fellow
citizens, I have come to declare that I
have given in my allegiance, he;rt and
soul, to the ok flag, provided we can
restore the old flag again to be the rep
resentative of the principles of ihe
Constitution, which we will be able to
effect by the election of Seym.ur and
Blair."
Col. Herndon, who had opposed
sending Southern delegates to New
York, confessed he had been happily
disappointed in the action there. The
resolutions under the circumstances,
were good ; but if there was any omis
sions in the platform, "the brave and
magnanimous speeches of Seymour
and Blair supplied them all." Q. mting
Blair'a letter, he said: "Who but a
brave, true, generous heart could utter
such a sentiment as thr t ? Can we not
strike hands with him. and swear with
him for our country's rights to live,
with our country to die ?
Judtre Jones would hare preferred
Pendleton, bui still more Masa Bob
Lee. H asked no better platform
than the letter of Gen Blair. Other
epeakerp, only local celebrities, follow
ed in a similar strane to those whose
remarks we have given.
Remember that unless Democracy
succeeds in 1868, arrisiocracy will rule
by bayonet and swerd until revolution
of right against wrong shall have sue
cessfully overthrown it. Anr
Which, being fpohen plainly means

A dispatch from Terra Haute, Ind.
says :
"The New York nominations have
created in ense disgust in the Demo
cratic mind in this c;ty, and throughout
this section. The Journal, published
here, the organ of the Vigo County De
mocracy, has no allusion to Seymour
and Blair, but compliments the Indiana
delegates who were faithful to Pen
dleton. Its only allusion to the action
of the convention is a single paragraph.
The following is all but one line:
The most jubilant people in town yes
terday afternoon were of the Radical
persuasion. They say it will be no
big thing now to elect Grant and Col
fax.
A correspondent of a Western pa
per says that at ureensourg, ina.,
"the nomination of Seymour and Blair
was received by the Democracy with
curses loud and deep. They denounce
in strong language the Indiana and
Ohio delegations the Indiana delega
tes because of iheir duplicity to Pen
dleton, and the Ohio delr-gates because
they slaughtered Hendricks. A few
of the faithful who swallow, under all
circumstances, anything that savors of
modern denocracy made an effort to
get up a ratification, not a jollification
meeting by any means, but failed ig
nominiously." The Cincinnati Chronicle srsys:
The second attempt to ratify the
Tammany nominations, at Columbus,
failed about a signally as the first.
Seymour and Blair are not wanted in
the West. We do not blame the De
mocracy of Ohio, in particular, for be
ing in no haste to indorse the humiliat
ing submission of their delegates, un
der the vindictive ltnd of iheir cunning
Vallandigham. They will be true vas
sals of Seymour, certainly, but have no
eagerness to put on the collar of bond
holder Belmont. The nominations ap
pear to be very coldly received through
out the Northwest."

We have several yiais been actively
engaged in political struggle have
seen conventions mangled and influenc
ed mny limei by vatious means.
But never heve seen the open attempt
to buy delegates, the determination to
make money the great motive power,
the entire utter disregard of res-pect
for the wishes of the people as has
been developed by the New York
managers of Wail street and bond
holders interests. Ihe entire aim so
far has been to crush Pendleton and
'he people, with no particular choice as
to whom should be placed in nomina
tion against him. Delegates who left
home instructed for and in f tvor of
Pendleton, have been bought by money
paid to them to vote against him.
Over S100.000 were paid to buy de
legates away from Pendleton between
the lbt and 4ih of July, and some of
this mouy went to Wisconsin delega
tes, as we are informed and believe.
Of this more anon.
The fight in New York was between
men of money and men of principle,
and in the contest the West never
shown io better advantage With few
rotten exceptions, the delegates have
stood like men of iron earnest, true,
manly, able, and presistenl in their
work. They have refused money
refused to follow the trail of Belmont
and bondholder pimp3 to places cf
pro.-titution, where wine and women
were free to those who were for sale.
They have been true to the people who
sent them lo New York, earnest in
demanding their right; and have so
far (Monday noon, July 6) made a
fight which has won t ie admirttion
even of Pendleton's most bitter erae

trick&ttr s of J ew lorlc. ana the young
Democracy of Hie great IVest. so rapidly
becoming the seat of empire, when we can
both reward friends and punish ene
mies. As we write, Pendleton's chances
are even. The hoist'ng of Chase was
an abortion. He will not be nominat
ed nor elected, for the reason that a
few of us determined men have sworn
that we will not vote for him, because
the true Democracy of the land will
not vote for any Republican whose
niggerite record is worse for us than
the peace record of any man can be
for the strongest Radical. The nomi
nation of a Democrat on a liberal De
mocratic platform will alo ie suit the
Democrats, and they will have nothing
short of ibis. The Chase movement
killed Seymour dead as a smelt greatly
to the mortification of Seymours friends.
He walked into the gold trap set for
him by four men, and went down so
deep he cannot come to the surface un
til political life and power be gme
forever. The convention here has
been, and is still, a great thing. Of
it. its leaders and managers East and

BLAKE'S SPEECH OP ACCEP
TANCE.
I accept the platform of resolution
pased by the late Democratic Conven
lion, and I accept tl eir nomination with
feelings of the moal pro! ound gratitude.
I lhank you. sir, for the very kind man
ner in which ycu have conveyed to me
the decision of ihe Democratic cenveu
lion. I accept the nomination wi'.h a
feeling that your nomination for the
Presidency is one which will carry us
to certain victory and because I believe
that it was the m.ist appropriate nomi
nation that could be made by the De
mocratic party. The cor.-test which we
wage is for the restoration of consti
tutional government, and it is appro
priate that we should make this con
test under the lead of cne who has
given his life to the maintenance of
constitutional government. We make
this contest for the restoration of those
great priccif les i'f government which
belong lo our race; and it is mot ap
propriate that we should select for our
leader n man not in military life; but
who has devoted himself lo civil pur
suits, one who has given himself to the
understanding of our Constitution and
its maintenance with all his powers of
reason and judgement. I have said
that the contest before us was one for
the restoration of our race. It is to
prevent the people of o tr race from
being exiled from their homes", exiled
from ihe government which they have
created for themselves and for their
children, to prevent them from being
driven out in exile and trodden under
foot by an inferior and semi-barbarous
race. la thi contest we shall have the
sympathy of every man that is worthy
to belong lo the white race. What
civilized people on earth would refuse
to associate with themselves in all the
rights, and honors, and dignities of
their country, such men as Lee and
Johnson 1 What country on earth
would fail to do honor to tkore who
fighting an erroneous cause, yet dis
tinguished themselves by a gallantry
never surpassed I In that contest, for
which they have been sought to be dis
franchised and exiled from theirhomer
they proved themselves worthy to he our
peers. It u not my purpose to maue
any lengthened audres but simply to
express my gratitude for the great and
di--tingi:ishf d honor wh eh has been
corKered upon mi; and now from my
heart I reiterate the words of thank
that fell from my ltpa when I arose.
What do you tniuk, intelligent vo
ters ; do you think Lee and Johnston
should bu admitted to all ihe "rights,
honors and dignities" of the country
which they fought, fiercely, to distroy ?
Lo you believe their treason h-ts "prov
ed" them to be the "cfra" of Grant,
Sherman and Sheridan ? ' They may
be worthy to be the peers of Seymour
and Blair, but of Grant, SLernmn and

The Washington correspondent of
The Cincinnati Commercial writes:
"A staff officer of Gen. Longstreetj,
now in Washington, tells them that
Gen. Grant will poll the entire vote of

more chance. We don't know so much
