The speaker meant “‘campaign documents,” which they are, and strong ones. — The New-York State Fair at Saratoga closed yes- terday. Each year shows evidence of the progress in agriculture, and the rapidity with which American farmers utilize the scientific discoveries of the age. Farming is no longer empiric. Wo infer from the men and arms which England has recently sent to Canada that the British Govern- ment is not satisfied that the Fenian movement is ended. The organization seems to be still compact, and frequent meetings are held. The offort to obtain the release of one of the fat- boilers, Christopher Gies, upon technical grounds, was defeated yesterday in the Supreme Court. Gies, was guilty of a gross violation of the law; and at a time when the Board of Health was doing all in its power to check the spread of cholera, he did not a little to extend it. As one of tho richest of his trade he deserves to be made an example. —_— We once more exhort every voter in our City who supports Gov, FENTON, with the Syracuse platform and ticket, to speak to his Republican friends and neighbors and urge them to enroll their names as members of their respective Union District organiza- tions on Monday evening next, Let us swamp all cliques and wire-workers Dy taking possession of the Primary organizations ourselves The Soldiers and Sailors of this city held s noble meoting at Clinton Hall last night, of whieh we print o full report. & strong delegation was glectod (o the was adjourned until Monday.

B Tic Allany Evening Journal is anthority for the statement that Gov. Parsons, who is anncunced 65 one of the apeakers at the Hoffman ratification mcot- ing in this city on Monday, after the battle of Gettys- burg introduced a bill into the Alabama Legislature decreeing the penalty of death against the Union men of his State who refased to fight in the Rebel armys. Will Gov. Parsons dare to make thet bill the test of his speech? —— The Albany Erening Journal publizhes nearly three columns of signatures to a call for a Union mass meet- ing of soldiers i1 that city, to-day. Gens. Woodford, Barlow, and Martindale are to be among the speakers. Of over fivo bundred soldiers who signed the call, The Jonrnal says that not more than twenty had pre- viously signed the State call. But one soldior in the county refused to affix his pame. There can be no moroe doubt now as to which side the Union army is on, than there was during the war, We are informed that the Assistant Assessors of tho Fourth Internal Revonue District were taxed and compelled to pay 85 each to the fund to meot the expenses of the Philadelphia Convention of Augnst 14. Inthe New-York Post-Office the clerks are as- seased one-fourth of oae month's pay for the Johnson eampaign expenses this Fall. Wo commend these facts to the gontleman who declares that ho vetoed the Freedmen's Bureau bill becauso he did not want to wield the Government patronage improperly, and, after him, we commend them to the people. The City Councils of Baltimore bave refused to take part in the reception of Mr, Johnson, on the gronud that he has destroyed the dignity of bis office, aud that his tour is simply for political stamp speaking against Congress. Can all the compliments of Gov. Swanir and the ex-Rebel office-holders whom Mr. Johnson has appointed, compensate for thiscensure? By this time the Prosident must deeply regret that he ever attempted this raid upon the North. Early's raids were not moro disastrons to the Relels, than his to bis policy. | CABINET COUNCILS, Mr. Montgomery Blair has been aceustomed to piume himsell on origivally standing alono in Mr. | Lincoln's Cabinet in favor of reénforeing Fort Sumter and fighting Secession generally.

But wedid and do understand that Mr. S. was formerly one of those who held and felt that our country was to be served and saved by Justice—by Righteousness—by giving to every man his honest dne—by bringing our constitutions and laws into closer and closer conformity to the dictates of Eternal ! Rectitude. Wo have certainly supposed him above he wretched babble which prates of love of the negro surp love of count We long loved and bon- ored him as one of those who saw cloarly and felt deeply that it was not Right but Wrong that endan- gered our Union—that it was Slavery, not anti- Slavery, that imperiled the Nation's existe We never heard any but Copperbeads assert that ““the great business of this Administration is the de- struction of Slavery.” What we understood was that the Administration ghould put down the Rebellion in the shortest and surest way. If Slavery or Abolition stood in the way of our National iutegrity, the Gov- ernment was to walk right over the obstacle in its single-minded devotion to the maintenance of the Union. But we are utterly unable to reconcile Mr. Seward’s averment that ** Slavery was killed years ago,” with his grave assurance, 1 his dispatch to Minister Day- ton at Paris, April 22, 1861, that “The Territories will remain in all respects the same, whether the revolution shall snceeed or shall fail. The condi- tion of Slavery in the several States will remaim the same, whether it succeed or fail, There is not even a pretext for the complaint that the disaffected States are to be conquered by the United States if the revolution fails; for the rights of the States and the condition of every being in them Will remain subject to exactly the same 1 4 forms of administration whether the revolution shall suceeed or whetber it shall fail. In the one case, the States would be federally connected with the new confederacy; in the other, they would, as now, be members of the United States; but their constitutions and laws, customs, habits and institutions, in either case, will re- main the same.” Most certainly, he could not honestly write thus who believed that **Slavery was killed ycars ago,” or that “‘its death-knell was tolled when Abraham Lincolu was clected President.” An Embassador, we know, is said to be sent abroad to lie for his conn- try; but we never heard that they were sent abroad to be lied to for the good of the country. If they were, the contrivance would be a remarkably round- about, clumsy affair. The N, Y. Times says: “ When the war ended, Slavery had been destroyed, and its destrotion had been completed and made final by the adop- tion of the Constitutional Amendment.” —*TWhen the war ended,” at least One Million of our people were still in actusl bondage. The Con- stitutional Amendment inbibiting Slavery bad not beenratified. Nor would it have been to this hour, bad not Mr, Johnson said to the Rebel States, ** Rat- ify it, or I keep you under martial law till you do.” And, up te this bour, they have gone just so far in putting away Slgvery as he iusisted they should go, under penalty of being kept under military rule.

Uortain parties wished fo make thoso upon whom the Almighty had et the seal of His disapprobation, ows deities, or oar masters, D> the workiogmen of this city wish nexroes to become their competitors 1 If there is any distinction between a negro and a New Eugland Abolitionist, that distinction is in favor of the IIW!O.' Does Mr. Wood believe that those Blacks who vote under & property qualification in this State have the seal of God's disapprobation et on them? If not, then does he suppose that God has more respect for property than he has for humanity? Isit a religious duty to keep Blacks from voting under suy circum- stances? And if the same “‘seal of disapprobation” is found set upon Whites, is Mr. Wood prepared to exclude them from exercising the right of suffrage? Will he gay, will he dare to say that he is prepared to disfranchise Whites who are ignorant and unintolli- gent? Nothe! He would cut off his right hand be- fore he would say it! It is the color of the skin, then, not the intellectual or woral deficiencies, to which he objects. So Mr. Wood's **dewocracy,” after all, is only skin decp! So we have always thought, and so we now find it logically proved to be, Nobody is forced to profess to beliove what in his heart he does not believe, and it is a wean and dis- graceful thing for the sake of filthy lucre and personal emolument and political advancement to be babbling every day of oue's life what oue thinks to be a lie. Mr. Wood's *‘democracy,” with Mr. Wood's limita- tion, is vot worth a brass farthing—it becomes at onco “aristocracy” of a very mean and contemptible kind; for if there is in this world one thing more de- serving than another of the scorn of wll honest men, it is the demagogy which picks and chooses its pets, and which uses the prejudices and passions of one class to oppress and swindle another, ** Do the work- ingmen of this city wish negroes to become their com- petitors 1" mpetitors in what? [n earning a fair and honest liood ! 'Why not, if the workingmen of this city aro fair and honest themselves? Why should they refuse to give any man n fair and honest chance? Nobody asks any more than this for the Black, in this city, in South Carolina, anywhere; and whoever would deny this would be very likely to swindle his partner in business. t oven the most bitter prejudice canuot be con- sistent. **If there is any distinction,” said F. W., | ““between a negro and o New-England Abolitionfst, “that distinction is in favor of the negro." Yet the New-England Abolitionist is white, God has n't set any mack upon him more than upon Fernando Wood. Is ho prepared to distranchise all Abolitionists ! Would n't that be rather sweeping about this time 1 And why should he stop th Why not disfran- chise all members of the Republican party, all Demo- crats disagreeing with Mr. Wood, all men over six feet high, if they have also red bair and snub noses ? In fact, according to his theory, everybody would be off from voting except Mr. Wood and his own par- Nicely limited our elections would ' e ! on ticular following. be! There moy be arguments against admitting Blacks to the Right of Suffrage, drawn from considerations of expedieney, and if so, we are willing to listen to them; but we are not yet prepared to go to Mr. Wood for an exposition of the intentions of the Al- mighty. Such men always talk as if they were spe- ired, and as if they had a particnlar theo- jon to settle our civil polity as Moses d that of the children of Isracl. Befure yielding to their dictates, we should like to see their commis- sions; and we must request Fernando if he is going on at this rate to work a miracle or two in Union- square by way of proving his inspiration. Mr. John- son's fervent and effectual piety we do u't doubt, but F. W's. is a staggerer. PRESIDENT OR KING? There is o ittle passage in Mr, Seward’s specch at Bath Creek, on the 5th inst., which is deserving of even a late attention. ** Do you want Andrew John- son President or King 1" asked the Premier. What Mt Seward meant exactly we do not pretend to know, for he has said a great many odd things since he started upon his travels ; but for ourselves, putting this and that together, we can only interpret this utterance as a threat, especially as the population of Bath Creek does not appear to have been ina very amiable mood. In fact, at the time, there was a pretty little game of bullying going on upon both sides, iuto the spirit of which the ** President or King" immediately entered, asking the citizens how they eould be 50 **lost to propriety " as not to treat bim “like o gentleman?” After this interrogatory, the report says that there was *‘more disturbance,” but the train moved on without any popular resort to ancient eggs or to cats departed this life. After this expressive hint, and some others dropped upon different occasions both by the Master and the Map, it cannot bo held that the people of the United States bave not had sufficient warning of the fate awaiting them should they misbehave themselves, and for ought we know a first-rate Broadway honse may have already received an order to purchase the crown jewels. *Tam the State,” said Louis XIV.; and although our Andrew is quite incapable of put- ting his thought into a shapeso terse and epigrammatic, all the world can see that his egotism is just the quality which never deserts him, He is first person, singular number and nominative case wherever he goes or whatever he is doing. He is nothing if not Mons, Veto, like poor, foolish Louis XVI. Like other Kings, he is always talking about himself, what he has done, what he is doing, what he means to do, and what Congress cannot make bim do. Other Presi- dents have vetoed bills, but no President ever before made such a parade of his authority. 1Ile has a con- fused notion of doing something decisive, of execut- ing some kind of coup d'état, of chastising Congress in some dreadful way not clearly defined, and s0 he meanders up and down the land as if he were a separate estate of the realm, omnipotent, omniscient, and (by virtue of railways) omnipresent. "This, it must be owned, is a duleet fix for the great Republic to have got into. We are quite willing to admit that if the Constitu- tion of the United States confers upon one man un- limited, solo and frresponsible power, it makes but small difference whether wo call him a King ora President. If we are to have the thing, the title is not of the least consequence. 1f there be no remedy” for the present state of things, let us, in the name of consistency and comwon scnse, have a corenation instanter, with holy oil, globe aund scepter, and other necessary ingredients and apparatus, And what s Court King Andy will have!

We hope that nobody will thiuk that we are making’ game of an august personage. A man who can crente and destroy States, who claims by Exocu- tive fiat to keep out of the Union this Common- wealth, and to let in the other, who dictatos laws entirely out of his own bead, and who of his meve motion can repeal laws enacted by the Representatives of the whole people, should be called by kome title more sonorous and improssive than that of President. 'We even have our doubts about that of King. * Emporor” is rather moro satisfactory and mouth-filling. Of conrso, other adjectives of courtesy wonld be employed, snch as Hirb, Mighty, Excellent, Screne, Puissant—anything, in fact, expressive of a determination and a power to have one's own way, wemine contradicente, or contradicting ouly to be car- riod to the lock-up, and kept thore until subdued and bumble. President or King? We are astopished that tho astute Secretary, under the circumstanoes, should ask such a question. King, if not Emperor, by all manner of means ! THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT—WHY OPPOSED. The traditional repugnance of a certain personage to holy water is no greater than that of the Johnson- ites to the Conatitutional Amendment proposed by Congress as & basis of restoration for the States lately in insurrcction. Thoy realize its fairncss—they can- not deny that it is just—yet they cavil at it as dis- tasteful to the Rebels, Thus says The N. Y. Times: ++The opinton of liboral Republicans fn_regard to the Con- titational Amendment is well expressed b( Mr. Boecher. To the provisions of the amendment, judged simply on its merits, they bave no particular repugnance. ey ary inolined to con- sider it * intrinsicslly just and reasonable,’ and ‘would bave becn glad to witness & settlement of the vexed question of restoration upon this basis. They have held, however, that it “should be songat by a wholesome and persistent moral agita. tion' ouly, and should not be made either a test, to be exacted Dy extra-constitutional meaus, or a pretext for thrusting upor tie South disabilitics by way of panishment, Iaviag thrown the question into the shape of an amondmont, upon which the South, in common with other parts of the conntry, is asked to pronounce, no excuse for treating it as a condition- precedent of restoration. The constitutional character and iights of tho Southern Statos were in fact recognized when the ment was submitted to them for ratifiention; and Con- Inced itac!f in the wong when It committed itsell to gencios than * moral agitation’ for the sttaloment of its Fio: that moment, Congress became the persecutor, object. tho innovator, the partisan and anjust Judge. "’And why should there be hositancy in accepting the con- olusion at which Mr. Boecher has arvived t Granting, as he contends, that the amendment, per s, is jost and reasonable, the facy 1s patent that its ratification is practically impossible, Lift to their own senso of daty, the fnflucnce of ‘moral agita. tion,’ and the kindly conaiderations thot would have followed prompt restorotion, the Southern States might, at no remote have agreed to all that is practical ‘in the amend- even to more than the amendment includes.

Try the soothing system on thom—they an't stand any other.” If the argument i« good at all, it is quite as good against the auti- Slavery amendment as against that now pending. What we scek through the Amendment is not + punishment," nor any thing of the kind, but Jjustice and security for the rights of the Southern Unionists, of whatever color. The completeness of the National triumph involves obligations to those who belped achieve it, and who were impelled to do so by prom- ises of absolute freedom, which must never be repudi- ated. We are willing to be generons; but we must not fuil to be faithful and just. The Southern Unionists are wards of the Nation. They have incurred the batred and vengeful wrath of tho ruling caste in their section by standing for the Union against its deadly foes. It is not right, it is not honest, to deliver them into the absolute power of those whose tender mercies were illustrated in the wholesale massacres of Memphis and New-Orleans, and in a thousand less conspicuous outrages. And that which it would be shameful perfily to do, the loyal majority of the North have firmly resolved sball not be done. The Times only injures itself in seeking to shake their purpose, THE ALARM SOUNDED. The *Conservative” (late Rebel) journals of the South are startled by the returns of the Maine Elec- tion. Some of them whistle to revive their courage, and reckon there won't be much of a shower; but it is plain that they all feel what some of them avorw, that **the Radicals” are bound to sweep the loyal States like a tornado. What then? The Charlottes- ville Chronicle (Virginia) fears nothing worse than an attempt to establish Impartial Suffrage; whereof it says: “Indeed, here is our main concern. Wa can rally and re- gover fiom the ravages of war, from the punishment of our Ienders, from temporary execlusion from the Union; but the establishmont of Negro Suffrage would be the shirt of Nessns, whose poison would strike into our whole system, with no prospect of recovery until the negro raco became extinet. And we bave some spprehension that ambitions and reckless men awong ourselves, weary of continued exclusion from power and plee, may betray us on this question. If the South wands firw. We can protoct ourselvos against Nogro Suffrage. 16§t will suffer everything before it will yield this point, our time will come. We cannot be, for any long_period, kept out of the Union, nor our_representatives out of Congress. The North itself will rebel against tbis coudition of national disorganization, The dancer to the South with regard to Negro Suffrace is Aere. We have not heard of any of our people suggesting a concession at this point; we only consider the matter from an abstract point of view. We foar dema- ogues, we fear that shameloss class of politicians like Jack amilton and W, W, H are for the African Slave- Trade to-day o N ity tomorrow. Let us be true to ourselves, paticot aud firi in tribulation, indomitable, with ne thought of dyivg—and we sball reach the shore. Kough seas mako strong characters.” TEXAS. The * Conservative” Legislature of Texas has divided the State into four districts for the choice of Representatives in Congress, The Houston Tele- graph (ex-Rebel, now Johnson) says: “The frontier counties on the south and south-west of the State contnin & majority of Radical Disunion (that is, Repub- lican] voters, as showw by the members elected to represent these counties in the State Legislature.

This iy more easily threatene: sn sccomplisbed awong a Vigilant of their rights, X bt ot —As we did not expect the now rampant ex-Rebels of Texas would allow the friends of Equal Rights to elect a Member of Congress, we are not disappointed; Dbut it is well to note their confession that a fair, natural apportionment would have given us a mem- ber, even with the Right of Suffrage as fixed by themselves. In referenco to the charges made ia THE TaisrNg, and other Northern journals, that the tyrauny of Slavery had crushed out free speech in the Southern States, The Wilmington N, C. Dispatch says : “We admit that this evil existed greaf nevor ean bo divested of tho opteton that this secbiich oo o be s much atiributed fo & lnok of meral courage wnd perve wl submi 0 sucl .

Times having stated that there is likely to be two rival Houses of Representatives for the -XLth Congress—one of them composed in part of members elect from the States lately in insurrection, the other wholly of members chosen from the loyal flyul—and that the President is quite likely to recog- nize and establish official relations with the former, we thoreupon asked—'‘In case the Editor of The Times shall Le chosen’ a Representative in the XLth (nul_) Congress, and such collision should occur, .-q«wm_;m heotake his seat?"

The Republican Unicaists of North Jewey (IViy Distriol) have an admirable candidate for Congress in Joux Hut. He has servod repeatedly i the more popular branch of the Legislature, to which ho was chosen last year without opposition. He was there- upon cloctod Speaker, and bas served most accepta- bly in that post. He is a wmerchant in good business, and would be rich but for bis gencrosity and patriot- ism. The Sussex Register says: “In view of tho t questions that will come hafors next Congress, of the enormous brites that may boo'end‘: members to vote for assoming the Rebel debt, our oniy safety lies in eleotiog men like John Hill, of incorruptible integrity, above reproach or even the breath of suspicion.

No. Weoppose Mr. Stevens when we deem him wrong and support him when beis right—as with others. ® 2. Mr. Stevens was not Leader of the Honso at its last session? His policy of confiscation was utterly, overwhelmingly negatived by the House. He fought the Bankrupt Law, and the Housc passed it over his head, He was an ultra aati-Resumptionist, and re- poatedly voted down on that ground. In giving in his adhesion to the Constitutional Amendment now pending, ho confessed himself out-voted and over- borne, Mr. Stevens was oftener overruled by the House than any other prominent Republicon. 3. We have already answered that we condemn so much of Mr. Stevens's policy as opposes and approve s0 much of it as accords with our own programme— Universal Amnesty, Impartial Suffrage. How can we meke our position plainer ? 4. No. We consider Mr. Stevens, with all his er- rors, & truer patriot and nobler statesman than the least bad of Lis assailants, Now are you answered ? The Post says: *“‘For our own part, we support Gov. Fenton most cordially;" and then proceeds to give reasons for this support calculated to set other Republicans against him. But no matter, since The Post has been constrained to teke a position in which it can do the Republican cause less harm than it evi- dently meditates. The Journal of Commerce, among other such misstate ments, says of our last Muuicipal Election: “Ttis proper to recall the fact thot Mr, Hoffman received the vote of pretty much the entire body of respectable, tax- ing and influéntial eicizens, as well us the vote of the labor- g classes. No man has been elected to office in this city by a moro respectable constituency.” —Mr. Hoffman was the candidate of Tammany Hall and the confederate plunderers who rule and rob our hapless City, and received twofifths of the popu- lar vote—Fifteen Thousand less than an absolute ma- jority.. His strongholds were the Wards and districts fullest of brothels, gambling-houses and low, un- liceused, drunkard manufactories, where ignorance, vice and wretchedness bear sway. Inall the other ‘Wards he was badly beaten—as he will be again. Here is the aggregate vote for Mayor: his competitors.
