~ The Utica Herald declares that Horatio
Seymour, Gubernatorial candidate of the pre-.
tended Democracy of New York, though man
Of wealth, has not contributedj one cent to-
wards any purpose connected with the war !,
OF course not He is too shrewd to contribute
money to assist in subjugating his friends 10 the
South. He is like the Democratic members Of
our County Board Of Supervisors. They would
not give our volunteers any bounty, if they
could help it. Il was quite Unconstitutional
in their opinion, to encourage enlistments in
that mode, and quite honest to withhold it,
after 90 many had enlisted with the expectation
Of receiving it! We forget. The Democrats

A LITTLE CHAP. WANTS MORE OFFICE. 1.-The pa.
triotic fellows in this county who induced the
democratic members of the Board of Superb
sons, to vote against an appropriation for Bounty
to volunteers, had q Convention on Saturday,
and nominated O.sC. Wightman,. for Clerk of
the District Court. This is the identical little
Chap who ran last year for Recorder and had
leave to stay at home. He will have it again
this year with additional emphasis! The county
has already supported him quite long enough.

perpetuated at the cost Of the Union? There

President, and those who, with him, believe that
the Union must be saved by any and all meana
Those who prefer conserving slavery to the
defence Of the Nation against traitors, will OBJ
pose him, and those who stand by him. These
are the only positions man can occupy in these
