Governor Seymour is one ofthe ablest popu
laf etstors In the country, and cannot fail to
poll powerful vote, inasmuch as he stands
square-footed, perfectly SO, on all the new is
sues Of the, day. He .proclaims himself to
be against the proposition to deny to the South
any more slave holding STATES in the Union,
and also against the prescription of Catholic
citizens directly or, indirectly, on account of
their religion, as we'll as against all the aims
of the new Native Amererican party Myron
H Ciafk, his opponent, stands boldly on the
other side ofthese questions, one and all. So
We shall have fair contest. The vote which
Judge Bronson will receive will agree with that
Of Governor Seymour on all the issues we have
named above, unless he shall be taken up by
the Know Nothings. IF not so taken up, the
aggregate vote thrown for those two gentlemen
in the coming election viii show the strength
of the opposition in the State of New York to
the rising isms, one and all. We are among
those who believe that though neither of them
may lead Mr.. Clark, their combined vote will
demonstrate that the popular voice there is
overwhelmingly against the apparently so
popular ultraisms of the hour. o. p lesv.

The additional pay allowed by the act of Au-
gust 4. 1854, "to increase the pay of the rank
and file of the army, and to encourage enlist
nents," becomes a part of the regular legal
Of the soldier as much as the
pay authorized by previous laws. AS such, he
is entitled to have it computed in his travel
pay when discharged from service under the
conditions of the 18th section of the act of

Treading on Delicate Ground We take the
excerpt from the London Morning
Post, from the issue Of our neighbor of the In
of Saturday last: ~
and the UiGytO .Espan0i-haye ventured to
charge the United States Minister at the Court
of Spain, Mr. Soule, with having fomented
these disturbances. This. however, is very i'm
probable, because SO enlightened adiplomatist
as Mr.. S0ule cannot fail to have read history,
and to have found it there recorded that in
J January, LIE, the British Government arrest
ed the Swedish Minister at London, Count
Gutenberg, and seized his papers, because it
believed the Count to be Implicated in trea-
sonabLe proceedings against the Crown of Eng
land. There is, therefore, point at which
diplomatic immupities cease, and it does not
seem consistent with the acuteness of his adopt-
ed country that Mr.. Soule should have risked
his privileges in the hopeless object, no doubt
falsely ascri bed to him, of establishing repub
licanism in Spain; a. -e -

from history the case of the Swedish minister
