Tt was AUG Pare Of Jefferson, of Madison, of Mon- rou, and of Polk—the: purty that bad given Texas, Now Moxico, and Culiforninto the Dnlug. At.was the party which bud long ago mute tho Constitution, und for sixty yours bad go adminise tered it that in tho Government thyra had been no Jaw higher than tho Constitution. If was the purty which, In tho eyote uf its yours, bad drawn. to lteclf every abte and patriotic statesman who was not willing to walk In the wicked ways of sectionalism. It wns the party which, in tho atorm aud tempest and. winte:’s blast. hud stood lita un ocenn lighthouse, unmoved and Immova- le, while all othor purtica, including tha boasted: Republican party, had surged aad swayed with uoeven. and inconetnut motion, Ike the waves that obeyed the teklo bidding ur the fickle moon. ‘The spray might have coverud Its aldes; waters might buyo wasted its summit: but every re- cession of the storm bad shown ite ight was un- quenched and Ite lustre undimimed?, In tho preparation of this spuech {t is man- ffest Mr. Pendluton bestowed more effort upon style than facts, and had dectamnation rather than history in view. ry, It isa practicaot Damoeratts orators In de- fonding thelr purty—and such defense fs thelr principal mission In public tifo—to go back beyond even the recollection of -contempo- rangous Democratic tenders, Senator Pen- digton ‘summoned ‘from. thelr graves a few of the forefathers whom thd Democrats of to-day claim with ‘assurance, becnuse the dead cannot protest ngainst the indignity, but he falled to trace down the obvious de guneraocy of the political species.

Buchanan, The Demveratic party has long beon -ini a condition to fall hack upon Its ancestry. for Its fame and good deeds, but the ghosts have already dono all tho service that can reasonably be expected ofthem, ‘The country ls more cohcorned to- day with the Pendiotons and Ben Hills than with tho disembodled spirits whose souls must be serjuusly disturbed at the sacri- lugious.nse which Damocratic orators are ac- eustomed to make of thelr earthly careers. : ItJe possible, tou, that tha Democratic orators of the day claim too much for the, early citizens whom they would pose as Democratic leaders.

We print this morning 9 clreular address on the, subject of negro emigration to tho lands in the central and western parts of the Indian’ Territory purchased ‘by the Govern- ment from the Indians, From this address It’appears the United States, in 1860, pur- chased. 6 block of, [and in the Indian Terrl- tory from the savages, who then -owneil It, and Itisstuted that In the treaties conyey- ing these Jands It is recited that the cession Is made “in compliance with the desire of the ‘United States to lvcate” other-Indiahs-and freedmen thereon.” "Che purchases by tho United States uxcecdad 14,000,000 neres, or nearly one-third of the entire aren of the In- dian Territory, Slnco’ that tlue numerous tribes and parts of tribes of Indians have beon agsigned parts of this purchase, but there remaln several millions’ of acres of thia land, the title to which remains in tho United States, and whieh is public land, By law the Indian Territory is closed to. settlo- ment, bit if {t be true, as claimed, that thls land was purchased that it might be ‘set apart for other Indians and ** for freedmon,” then {t 1s open under the Homestend and other Inws to the emanclpated negroes for settlement. e 4 An expedition of sevaral hundred white persons recently undertook to‘enter: tho In- tan ‘Territory with a view ‘to settlement, and was excluded by military force; but it the facts and the. law, are stated correctly, this exclusion cannot be enforced agalust any fréedinen who may bo destrousto take and occupy the Ind in that part of the Terrl- tory owned by the United States, It does not appear from this correspondence that the Land-OMice or the General Government has construed the law on this subject, and’ it ts somewhat surprising that the fact that this {mmeneo tract of land fn the Indlua Turritory awns open to negro fettlement from 1860 until the presont thne and nothing was sald of it until recently, - ‘ On the assumption that this land may be available for settlement by segroes, It nffords to that population the most favorable oppor tunity for becoming landowners that ts now In'prospect. “At the South there nre several difficulties, First, the people ara hostile to having tho negroes become owners of the soll, and none will ever’ be, gold to them at prices which the landless can hope to pay.: Becondly, the Southern: white population will ndt, in this ‘genoratton, ever yeluntarily eoneede political rights and priviloggs to the negroes, oxcept under. circumstances grhich would subatantlatly enalave the blacks again, Thirdly, the negro at tho South wilt forever feo} the social dogradation which dentes him equal sehool privileges, or any privilege which -does not ab the saine time assert his inferlority, Evon at the North, while the négrocs may be freely aduiltted. to all tho political and. ciducational . facilities, and may engage In‘"mechanteal, com- inerelal, and eyen professionu) pursuits, the dlatinetion of raco will always mark him for suclal proseription. ‘To the grent bulk of the freeden agriculture is the, traditional occupation.

Why had he repatred bridges and roads in his front for an advance toward Corinth, instead of pincing obstructions on the roadson which | tho Robols must advance, If he antlelpnted thelr attack? Itis true that the day before the, woods Wad been found: full of Rebel scouts, On the: 4th of April, about 2p. mt, the Unton plelet: tine was attacked, nnd elght men of ‘the Soven- tleth Ohio were ‘captured, Col.- Buckland, porcelving that a company of Rebel cnvalry had got behind a company of his infantry, aitacked and dispersed them, killing half-a- ‘dozen and capturing twelve, For this act he wits censured’ by Gen.-Sherman for shooting ngainst orders, Col. Buckland says that he ylsited., tho. ptekut-line tho day before the battle and found the woods swarming with Revel cavalry along Ils entire front. Col, Worthington, Fotty-sixth Ohio, om the ex- treme right of Sherman’s commarid, saw in his front such abundant evidences of coin- Ing attack that he set hig regtinent nt worl “cutting down trees and throwing up carth- works, for which. he was ‘sneered and Inughed at by Gen, Shermannas dole a pre- posterous thing, when, there was no possiblo | danger, as the Rebels, ho sald, wers merely making © reconnalssince. Cols, Buckland, Covkerll!, Hildebrand, and Sullivan, fearing an attack from ‘whnt they saw, strengthened their pickets,. and established n tine of sen- tries daring the night from the crimp to the tront. ‘These wise precautions, taken with- out ‘orders from Sherman, enabled that brigade to resist “the stidden attncle next morning, and to withstand the: Rebel onset for threo hours.’ A singla day's work of the army with spades and axcs would have mado thelr’ position impregnable ngalust any nssauilt that Beauregard’s army could make, “‘fhis Want of precrution was a graveerror, It was more: it was gross neg- ligenee, extending: froin tho chicf down through nll the division commanders, and Sherman, as an old West-Polnter, nist stand “nis full share’ef tho Ulnine for-.the -disnaters. of that bloody-day..i'Tho absolute truth Is, that Gen, Sherman held tenaclously to the theory until 7:80:0,°m, that tho’ Rebels were only making jn reconnaissance, when tho fixhting hnd already beon golngon for.an hour, and then ho got his oyes open and saw that the Rebels had-stolen a march on him, Gon, Grant holdto tho samo opinion untii he reached the fleld, some time after 0 o'clock, and says in his report; “I did not. belleve. they {Intended to make a determined attack, butsluply a reconnalssance.” A Rebel army of 50,000 men. had been for three days closing tn around our cninps In the woods, and. no general uMicer present knew {t to be there until tho storm burst upon them, rudely dis- polling tho fiction ofa reconnaissance.” But this must be sald of all the divislow'com- manders: {hat none. lost thelr wits orthelr equilibrium after the Rubel rush was made on them, but cach stood up to his work with the brayery of Nupolvon’s Marshals, oer ’ WHIOHT ‘There {s an Issue of veracity between Gen.
