Double dealing.

The Intellgencer published in Wednesday mornings
paper from the Boston speech of Ex-Governor
Seward, of New York, ultra aboonist, in which he
says: "The liberty party have always had my respect
and sympathy but they had my vote We believe
OTHERWISE and think we show it, but true moi in
regard to his 'svoe" did he recommend anything
which was tantamoun vote" in favor of that party
Did he never say anything that paramount to mere
sympathy" a 'vote" in favor of that party "
Such double dealing and special pleading will not serve
the Integencer humbug the South into the belief that
Governor Seward is dboltionisf. We speak on good
authority when say that this gentleman is so much
more than aboltionis actually to prefer free negroes
to RsHMEN his feo,c- citizens After saying to south
ern gentlemen, among other things, that the free negroes
voted with the wings naturally, aud that the Irish troud
pocket their money and uote the democratic ticket he added
When you rant to get rid of your free negroes send to
New York fifty thousand, and zoe rM gre you many
Iyidtmen in exchange.
What say you TO this, Irishmen' What say you, for
eigners oil? Will you not rise in the majesty of your
strength and resent as far the ballot will allow,
this gross Insult offered you by leading wing, now
stumping it in New York for Gen. Taylor and Willard
Fillmore We cannot doubt you will.

CITY OF WASHINGTON.
FRIDAY MORNING, SEPT. 30, Is4s.
Election Of Electors.


The Baltimore Clipper of yesterday republises The
act of Congress which we published Wednesday, en-
titled Gan act to establish uniform time for bolaing
elections of President and Vice President OF the United
States" 1t that this act solves the problem which
has excited some discussion in the North and prevents
'the electoral votes of Massachusetts, Maine and South
Carolina from being lost at the approaching presidential
election in consequence of the State laws OF the two frs
named requiring that majority OF all the votes cas-;
shall be necessary to elect, and from the fact that the
legislature of South Carolina which appoints the elect
ors, will not assemble until after The day appointed
by the act of Congress for the election of electors"
This act of Congress directs tha the electors of Pres
dent and Vice President shall be appointed in each State
on the Tuesday next after the first Monday the month
of November of the year in which they are to be appoint
ed" Ii also provides THAT each State may by law pro-
vide for the filling of any vacancy or vacancies which
may occur in its college of electors when such college
meets to give its electoral VOTE And it provides also,
that ''When any State shall have held elecon the
purpose of choosing electors, end shall fail TO make
choice on the day aforesaid, then the electors may be ap
pointed subsequent day. IN such manner aste State
shall by law prouide."
The Clipper states that he legislature of South Carolina
will meet on the fourth Monday of November, (the 27h)
which will allow ample time for the electors TO assemble
on the first Wednesday 0he 6h) of December The cleo
ton will be held the 7th of November, the law
ques in Massachusetts, and Maine; when, if there be
no choice, there may be other trials the legislature
may dispense with the majority law, and require plu-
ality of votes alone elect may prescribe the mode
in which electors shall be chosen We do not believe
that either of the States named will fail choose elect
ors though consider it probable that the votes of
South Carolina will be cast for person not can
didate"
We have no fear about South Carolina for we have
doubt that her legislature will appoint elections who
will vote for Cass and Butler If provision be
ually made in the electoral laws of Massachusetts, and
Maine. the legislatures may be called to supply the oms
sion but we do very well wherein the restriction
exists that the election be made any day not
longer than "a days before the first Wednesday OF
December" In fact, between the time fixed upon in the
last act of Congress- and the first Wednesday of Deem
ber cannot make out, in the approaching election
many Mirty.four days.

Gen. Casa and the Annexation of Texas.
DrTpoIT Spptember % lSi

To The Editor Of the Union;
SIR: In my communication TO you few days ago,
denied the truth of the following charge against General
Cass, made by Michigan correspondent of the lnte-
gencer:
son the LIST day of March, 1884, Mr.. Edwin II. Lohrop
the speaker OF the house OF Of the State
Michigan, down from The chair, and Introduced
resolution depecatng the annexation of Texas to the Uni
ted States calculated extend the OF slavery, and
violation of the spirit OF the constitution of this
Union.
al relations.
"The Hon William Norman Mcleod, from the commit
federal relations the 9th of March, 1874 reported
back the resolution without amendment and recommend
ed It's adoption.
"That gentleman who resides a the Falls of ST. Marie
foot of lake Superior in Michigan, that ae the
commitment OF this resolution his charge he waited
upon Gen Cas with it, and that the General expressed his
appreciation of it in substance"
Fortunately, have the authority of Mr.. Mcleod
himself, pronouncng the statement untrue, under his
own hand. 1t is as follows:
''SAuLT STE. MARIE, Chippewa co.

"SR My attention has been called to article in the
National ntegencer, entitled ''The Campaign, No a."
stating that after the commitment of the Lohop resolutions
in 1874 my committee, waited upon Gen. Cass, and
that the Lothrop resolutions nepr, at least by

Mcleod Is now In my possession, ana may pc seen by
any one who desires IT.
Thus YOU see Mr. Editor, that all the charges against
General Glass; of expressing in private opinions IN regard
TO the annexation of Texas different from his public
avowals, are rumphanty retued

the same be said OF any other disposition whatever!
If there is allacy, will any of northern friends

case strongly against ourselves.
