C. C. Gardiner of Elmirn, assessor for the 27th district of New York, to General Henry W. Slocum of New York, relating to the issues of tho present political canvass, will be reRd with interest. General Slo cuin and Col. Gardiner were brother offi cers of the same regiment of volunteers in the early part of the rebellion. They now stand together, again contending for an undivided Union, not by wager of bat tle, but through the constituted forms of law, and propose to win ELMIRA, X. Y., July 22, 1868. MY DEAR GENERAL—I have received your reply to my letter of last month. Tlie political views which I expressed to you in my former letter I have entertained for many months past, although I have not deemed it necessary to make them generally known. My business is not politics. True, I »im now a government officer, but is the firat position of the kiiid I have ever held. I nev«r asked for any office, and do not desire another. The situation of our national n(Fairs, I regard with no ordinary degree or alarm. The chief causes for this anxiety may be read in the proceedings of congress. The unconstitutional and revolutionary meas ures of that national body should excite the gravest apprehensions of danger for the institutions of our country, and judg ing from my own observations and the ex pressions of others, 1 believe this opinion to be shared in by many, who, like myself, foinerly supported the republican party. The people have the remedy, nnd 1 be lieve the popular will to be largely in favor of n change in the character of our repre sentatives. I know of many who will not disjiute the military genius of Grant or the eminent ability of Colfax, both soldiers and civilians, who, this year, will vote for a change—a coni| lfte change in the admin istration of our affairs! Congress should be arraigned and ques tioned by the people in this canvass! Let congress answer for depriving ten states of all civil government for the last three years! There can be no equality in the sister hood of states, if conditions may be im posed upon some and not on all. We are in a union of equals. No other doctrine was entertained by the statesmen of 17S9. Congress now assumes a new wisdom, and proposes to rebuild the superstructure of our government, better and more'enduring than our fathess, in direct violation of an established constitution solemnly ratified by the people. Shall w« surrender this priceless heritage of constitutional civil government, bequeathed to us by a wiser generation, witVout a struggle within the constituted forms of law Let congress answer for their encroach ments upon the executive aud judical de partments of the national government, and every act of tyranny and misrule cal culated to inflame the passions of one sec tion of the country against those of an other Le congress answer for keeping down the credit of the government, continuing a depreciating currency, taxing the people unequally, appropriating the public funds improvidently, and sustaining protlligate and corrupt officials I There is but one way by which these desired changes can be brought about, and that is, t® indorse the action of the New York national convention. This is my candid judgment, and I shall labor earnestly for that end, with all the great body of conservatives in the country, who stand pledged for a change. With a complete victory, we may ex pect a restored Union with peaceful rela tions between all the states, a sound cur rency, equal taxation, industrial activity, comercial prosperity, and every citizen in the enjoyment of his constitutional rights. Sincerly your friend, C. C. GARDINER. To Maj. H. W. Slocum, New York City. It is a pertinent question, and one worthy of strict investigation whether the issue of the Republican party as laid down in its platform and urged by its par tisan orators and writers are the issues sought to be obtained by its organization and paid for by a debt of enormous mag nitude und a holocaust of human victims W as the Republican party formed to ob tain partial negro suifrage Was it in tended to disfranchise any portion of the white population Was its great military struggle for the dismemberment of the union, and the placing of certain portions under military rule Did its inaugura tors forsee as a conseqnence of its power a permanent suspension of the habeas cor pus For not one of these was it brought into existence. It was not for these things that statesman thought and soldiers bled. They are the fugi growing on a rotted trunk—and the only way to get rid of them is to destroy the worse than use less body which produces and supports them. The present aspect as the party is in direct opposition to the great objects originally sought, gloriously obtained and rascally perverted by the party which might have ensured its preconceived ideas. Under these circumstances all fealty, all allegiance ceases on the part of the honest patriots who instituted aud supported it.— fhe civilian who voted and the soldier who fought for it in its crusade against secession and caste can no longer honora bly support it when it has turned all its victories to such base uses. It is no lung er a Republican party, but a moneyed tyranny, and if not checked, will speedily result in a Dcpotism worse than any of the monarchies of the old country, and grinding down the laboring population beneath a burden of taxation, which will leave them as serfs in the hands of a bloat ed aristocracy and mere machines at the mercy of a standing army and ft nilitary dictator. THE AOE OF ADVERTISING.—Writers, on almost every subject, like to assign to some fancied resemblance, the age in which they live. We have the Iron age. age of Brass, Golden, and now, some not very ingenios unuthors call the present, the age of steam, of civilization and, or.e more witty than his fellows, in derision of the derisions of the enormous amount of that kind of property, thinks this should be called the post age. With all due differ ense of these worthies, we imagine this should be denominated the age of "Prin ter's Zinc''—it would be anomalous not to designate it by a metal, and we propose to show why thus and so. At no previous time have the benefits of advertising been seized upon by the class of taen who depend upon the community at large, for their support, asi\ow. When, as yet, the good resulting from advertise ments in the papers was not seen, it was viewed as extravauance on the part of those using this vehicle for the announce ment of their business. It is only in the last few years that we have seen the beau tics and advautag^s accruing from the free use of printer's ink. Fortunes have been made, and due to this alone. But, not only has the medium of the newspaper been used for parading the wares, mer chandise, and patent medicines of wealth wishers, but very available and extraor dinary mode of bringing these into the notice of the masses, has been used. We have in mind the case of Prof. Anderson, the illustrious wizard of the North, who, in addition to newspapers and posters, which a great many never read, sent to all the better men, in the town he expect ed to exhibit in. Moulds on which his name, title, and hour of performance were engraved, and which were imprinted on the butter—pats, instead of the cow ordi narily represented. As every family ate butter for breakfast, it followed that each received an invitation to pay a visit to the conjurer. The ingenuity and persever ance of advertisers in our wn country is worthy of approbation. Every one knows the clever trick played by a certain benev olent individual, who started on a ten dol lar bill, in 18ti0, and who posted his ad vertisement on all the rocks in a certain State, and then had a law passed forbid ding the defacement of natural scenery. The many dodges practised by these as pirants for the iuere of their fellows, is really amusing. The exercise of their in geuuity keeps one in a continual state of expectancy for something more than that of yesterday. One is used now to the fences and walls, all along the lines 'Of railroads, covered with inscriptions, shad owing forth the merits of this preparation, and advising one where to go for that. In out of the way places, where strangers sel dom interrupt the sylvan monotony, ore runs up against the Squallybob Bitters, or Tightlit's Cheap Clothes, and is speechless with admiration at the enterprse of these meo. Could an old fogy, of twenty years since take a stroll among the places he once frequented, his astonishment could not but be amusing. Let him go to a hotel for dinner, and his bill of fare would contain a washing machine, ingeniously inserted between the spring chicken and the huckleberry pie. He would be fanned by a collection of advertisements, and pick his teeth with somebody's hat store. Out on the pave he would walk on some delic ious beverage, and be jostled, may be, by seme peripatetic poster, or run over by a curious looking vehicular announcement. Should lie go to the theater, his gaze would turu on the drop curtain, fenced «ff into lots, and the names of enterprising merchants therein placed. Showers of handbills would come from above, and on his exit tho check given him, very likely, would bear on its reverse a restaurant or a depot for paper collars. Gilt-edge butter and benzine bitters would stare at him from every dead wall, and the latest discovery in bugdom would be thrust in his hand in the shape of a quasi gold medal. It is impossible to take in at a glance the manifold tricks and means used hy merchants and others to get their business before the public eye, but we think that no one will deny this to be the age for ad vertising, however much he way look witb disfovor on the means used. "The War between the States, its Caus es, Character, Conduct and Result," by HON. ALEXANDER II. STEVENS, is the title of a valuable work just issued by ZEIG I.ER, MCCI'KDY & Co., Chicago, 111., and St. Louis, Mo. To us this is one of the most interesting of all the works produced by the war. Mr. Stephens, with rare ability, keeps un flagging the interest of the reader, while he discusses and describes, in a most clear, candid and statesmanlike manner, the dif ferent phases of the conflict. lie has adopted the colloquial style, and the book gives a series of supposed dis cussions between himself and three visi tors, who represent the views of the Radi cal Republicans, the Conservatives, and War Democrats. This method of writing serves to give life and interest to the whole history. Mr. Stevens differs from all other histori ans of the war in regard to its cause •, he maintains his position by a series of mas terly and most carefully framed argu ments. The character and conduct of the war he thoroughly understood, and from his position as second officer of the Con fedracy, became acquainted with much that wits unknow to other writers. He criticises sharply the positions and actions of officers, statesmen, and politicians on both sidss. A new field is opened in his history of tho results of the conflict and in his prophecies of future consequences. No other writer has grappled this subject, and we hardly know of another, with the great statesmanship, and the high culture of Mr. Stephens, to undertake the task. We would state here that wo disagree with many of the conclusions drawn by Mr. Stephens, but no thinking man can fail to admire the cogency of his logic, the power of his arguments, the elegance and simplicity of his language, and the won derful ingenuity with which he weaves all these together to form the intensely inter esting work before us. We know of no work containing so much valuable information on the subjects of which it treats. This most valuable work is seld only by subscription, and the publishers want an agent in every town and county. THE Democracy go for civil liberty, peace, a white man's government, the Union, the Constitution, the laws, the ju dicial tribunals, economy, retrenchment, the reduction of taxes, and all the legal rights of the tax-payer. The radicals go for a military despotism, anarohy, a black man's government, military edicts, military commissions, Congressional usurpation, extravagance, corruption, hate, malice, re venge, and the robbing of the tax-payers thirty per cent, for the benefit of the bond holders.

If the Cotton States anitedly and ear nestly wish to withdraw peaceably from the Union, we think they should and would be allowed to do so. Any attempt to compel them by force to remain would be contrary to the principles enunicated in the iinhiortal Declaration of Independ ence, contrary to the fundamental ideas on which human liberty is based. From the New York Tribwie Hot. 381, l¥06". If it (the Declaration of Independent) justified the secession ironi the British Empire of three millions of colonists in 1776, we do not see why it should not justify the secession of five millions of Southrons from the Union in 1 1. The speech of BEN WADE is as follows But Southern gentlemen stand here and in almost all their speeches, speak of the di s ilution of the Unit.n, as an element of every argument, as though it were a pecu liar condescension on their part that they permitted the Union to stand at all. If they do not feel interested in upholding the Union—if it really trenches on their rights—if it endangers their institutions to such an extent that they cannot feel se cure under it—if tin ir intercstslarc voilcn^ ly assailed by means of this Union, I am not one of those who expect that they will long continue under it. I am not one of those who would ask them to con tinue in such a Union. It would be doing violence to the platform j' th? party which it belong. We have adopted the old Declaration of Independence as the basis of our political movemenv which declares that any people when their Gov ernment ceases to protect their rights— when it is so subverted from the true pur- oscs of Government as to oppose thein, thq. right to recur to fundamental principles, and if need be, to destroy the Government under tchich they lice, and to erect on its ruins another more eondsuive to their welfare. I hold that they have this right. will nut hl/tme any people tor exercising it. whenever they think the con tingency has come. You can not forcibly hold men in this Union, for the attempt to do so, it seems to me, would subvert the first principles of the Govern ment under which we live." The moral of which that the radical nia lignats have a dozen threats of disunion to answer for where one allusion to tUe.sub ject ever cscaped from a Democrat. .... THE OR.DEST CITV IV THE Damascus is the oldest city in the world. Tyre and Sidon hare crumbled on the shore Baalbeck is a ruin Palmyra is buried in the sands of the desert \ine vah and Babylon have disappeared from the Tigris and Euphrates Damascus re mains just what it was before the days of Abraham—centre of trade and travel—an inland of vendure in the desert, "a presi dential capital" with martial iPl»d sacred associations extendending through more than thirty centuries. It was near Dam ascus that Saul of Tarsus saw the light above the brightness of the sun, the street which is called Strai in which it was said "he prayeth," still runs through the city. Tho caravan comes aud goes as it did a thousand years ago there is still the sheik, the ass and the water wheel the merchants of the Euphrates and the Med iterranean still "occupy" there, "with the multitude of their wares." The city which Mahomet surveyed from a neigh boring hight, and was afraid to enter "be cause it is given to man to have but one paradise, and, for his part he was resolved not to have it in this world," is to this day what Julian called "the eye of the East," as it was at the time of Isaih "the head of Syr5a." Erom Damascus came the damson, or blue plum and the delicious apricot of Portugal, called damasco :dam« ask, our beautiful fabric cotton and silk, with vines and flowers raised upon a smooth bright ground, the damask rose introduced into England in the time of Henry VHIth the Damascus 1 lade, so famous for its keen edge and elasticity, the secret of whose manufacture was lost when Tamerlane carried off the artists into Persia and that beautiful art of in laving wood and steel with silver and gold, a^ind of mosaic engraving and sculpture united—called damaskeening—with which boxes and bureaus, swords and guns are ornamented. It is still a city of flowers and bright waters the streams of Leba non, and the "river of gold" still mur mur and sparkle in the wilderness of "Syrian gardens." IMPUDENCE SUPREME.—The following from the State Iiegisttr is ahead of any thing we have «?en for impudence "The Republican party with unparelell ed forbearance during the war, quietly permitted these northern rebels of the Copperhead species to hold their conven tions. political meetings, &c., in our midst undisturbed and notwithstanding they have put in nomination for President the great leader of Northern rebel rioters, and for Vice President a man who is the open advocate of a new rebellion, the loyal peo ple have still been disposed to tolerate their gatherings and to "enthuse" without molestation." Was it "unparallelled forboarancc" in the radical party to inob printing offices, break up democratic meetings, arrest and imprison speakers, and writers without in forming them of the offences charged, denying the right of trial, murdering them as they did Tully in this state in '63—endeavoring to deprive democrats of social privileges and trying to injure their business? Forbearance indeed! The devil himself has more. The Register, from the tenor of its arti cle, would have the people believe that all the liberty of speech, of the press, and of conscience that there is our country exists only bv the suffranee of the radical party. But thank God the despotism of that party has had its day. and democrats propose to speak, write, hold conventions and "enthuse" as suits them best.

And this is the result They have disfranchised about one-third of the white citizens of the United State* in the south They have disfranchised all tho alieof born residents of the south who have not received full naturalization papers They have subjected the negroes partisan dictation which practically nies them either personal freedom yoiee in the government: They have attempted to disfranchised twelve thousand returned soldiers in Wis consin: They have organized a standing army to "protect" the ballot-box in many of the' states: They have attempted the passage of as act making it a penal offence for any of the people in three states to vote for pres-" ident: They have voted down negro suffrage in Kansas, Michigan, Ohio and other repub lican suites. And they have originated a scheme fof disfranchising the whole southern peoplit at the presidential election, transferring the choice of electors to the carpet-bag^ legislatures. During this time the republican partis has held complete and undisputed sway iw the federal government and in nearly alt the states, and nothing on earth has pre*' vented the establishment of universal suf* rage but their own indisposition.
