Gov. Seymour and his Friends.

The managers of the democratic con-
vention at Worcester selected Gov. Sey-
mour as special admiration and dedicated
a resolution to his praise, In order that
the people may see whittier these
leaders are drifting, it may be well to recur
to Gov. Seymour's record since the war be-
gun.
In the Episcopal convention at New
York, there was strong party which
opposed the adoption of patriotic
form of prayer to be used in their
churches. Governor Seymour was one
of the leaders and spokesman of this
party.
From his labors in the convention, he
went out Immediately TO concert with
Fernando Wood and aid him in his politi
cal plots,
In his inaugural address, he could not
forbear a malicious fling at the representa-
ton of the New England States in the
United States Senate. What shame would
have been felt by us, if the governor of
Massachusetts,, in such struggle, should
have made a gratulous assault upon sis
ter state. But Gov. Seymour represented
the great state of New York, in this petty
ebullition of ill-feelng.
His intention to block the wheels of the
government in respect to the draft is too
manifest to be doubted.
His position by the side of Andrews,
the leader of the riot, when he addressed
his 'sfriendsn of the New York mob, was
the position to which his heart naturally
led him. He was on the side of the mob,
as far as he thought he coult make party
capital out of it against the government.
He has given the rebels actual aid and
comfort, and there is no reason to think it
was unlntentional
In his correspondence with the presi-
dent, he again went out of his way to ac-
cuse New England of delinquency, and
his accusation was false His hatred of
New England seems to be identical with
that of Cox, ValIandigham and the rebel
leaders.
In his correspondence with Gen. Dix,
the general conyicts him Of taIsehood res
pecting the defence OF the city Of New
York and we now owe it to his factious
delinquency that the United States has
been obliged 10 send large body of troops
there to keep the peace and prevent GoE
Seymour's ''friends" from getting up an
other mob.
He has now made speech to the demo-
cratic convention, the chief staple Of
which is false accusations against the
administration, while it has not a word
of censure against JEFF. Davis and his as
s0ciates.
His real aim is that slavery shall come
out of the war with as little damage as
possible, and that it shall govern the
country, as it did in the days of Blu
chanan. And this IS the real purpose of
the democratic leaders, who are 50 lavish
in their praise of him.-Sp9iaqfsH Re

Henry Ward Beecher, in letter to the
Independent of this week, dated "Freiburg,
Switzerland, July 49, gives the follow
ing description of his feelings on hearing
the celebrated organ in the church of St.
Nicholas at that place:
''The great front doors were closed.

carry me up above life and day. Instead,
roll and crash came from the full or

screaming exultaticn. If there flew into
the rear little snatch of melody, all the
parts, like so many hawks, swooped down
upon it, snatching it from each other, and
mounting with 1t, or darling downward so
that the poor, sweet little melody wished
it had never spread its wing. 1t was too
late for regrets. They tore it to pieces

gone over the Wengern Alps, stood face

glory, to see the moon arise and change
its gold to silver, and fill the air with an
ineaable beauty. 1t was day full of
God and glory. | slept uneasily. This

The AFFAIR BETWEEN THE INDIANA
SOLDIERS AND HoN. d. W. VooR-
HE'S. An indianapolis correspondent Of
the Cincinnati Gazette gives the following
account of the narrow escape of Hon.
D. W. Voorhees, met with on the cars
recently:
The second battalion, esd Indiana vol
unteers, returned from Tcrre Haute on
Saturday. Most Vi the men were raised
in Mr.. Dan w. Voorhees, district. and
one company in Ius own town. Learning
that he was on the train, the soldiers broke
for the car where he was, dashed in the
door, and in spite of the presence Of wife
threatened to hang him with the bell
rope if he did not get off the train--teI-
ing him that no man who called Ameri-
can soldiers, lincoln dogs, who, when the
war was over, would wear collar so la
beled, should ride with them alive. The
officers interfered and forced the men back
almost at the point of the sword.
A second and third attempt was made,
but failed, through the entreates and COM
mands Of the officers. VOORHEES, solemlv
protested that he had been belied, and
that they read but one class of papers.
They answered that they had seen his
speeches, and that was enough to show
that he was a traitor. AT last he was in-
formed that if he would quietly leave the
train at Greencastle, he might do SO, but
but that the 63d would never ride into
indianapolis on the same train with him,
or any man who would abuse the soldiers
who were fighting for the Union and the
Government that protected him as well as
them. 1t was mighty narrow escape
for Dan, and neither his weeping wife nor
his entreatles would have save him if he
had continued the journey.

MAINE STATE ELECTIONS. THE
GAINS. Returns from 1877 towns give
Cony { Union) 43, ass; Bradbury Dem. J
90, 439-Union majority, 14,0l6.
The same towns last year gave Coburn
(Rep) 1920; Bradbury and Jameson,

which shows Union net gain this year
Of 9,535.
This includes about fve-eighths of the
aggregate vote of the State. The aggre-
gate vote of these towns is 1884 against
$3.50 last year which shows an increase
of 1885, which will amount probably to
$4,000 in lhe state. making ll3, 800 votes
against 1854 last year.
The towns to be heard from gave Re-
publican majority last year Of 545, which
would increase the present majorities to
Ia, 4Gl, or if the gain is equal, to about
Is, 500, to which the majorties will proba-
bly, approximate.
The Union party have probably carried
every county IN the State. York county,
which was carried last year by the demo-
Gratis, has undoubtedly gone Union by $50
majority.
There is some doubt about Lincoln
County which sends one Senator.
The Union men claim to have carried
Bradbury's own county, which has I'M
dsuhtedly gone against him. though equal

The issue of the proclamation of the
president suspending the writ of habeas
corpus in all military and naval cases will
of course occasion an extra howl in the
cspperhead camps; but the necessity of
the measure has long been apparent to
those who have seen the operations Of these
copperheads in defiance of law, and they
will think that the president has not acted
in this matter day too soon.

to the multitude, and salted by the most
enthusiastic cheers. After a patriotic AIR
by the Augusta band, he made brief and
stirring address, in which he modestly at
tributed the results to the principles which
he upheld, and not at all to any personal
merit. He said that the great triumph
was owing to the fact that there was not a
disloyal-majority in Maine. 1t was not
Samuel Cony who had triumphed but the
great Union principles, As when he was
representative last year, so now as gov
ernor elect he pledged himself an uncon-
ditionally loyal man who would give all
his faculties and energies to the Govern e
ment to aid them in crushing out this inta-
nous rebellion. His speech was sharp and
to the point, and eminently patriotic.

Some of those who are fond of green
corn in the winter do not know, perhaps,
that it may be preserved by packing it
tightly in casks or barrels, and covering it
with brine strong to keep cucumbers.
The corn should be taken with the husk
on. Corn thus prepared, if kept covered
with brine, will keep in good order for a
year or more, and will be sufficiently fresh
for the table when boiled.

--Gov. Vance ofNorth Carolina, in a
Proclamation against those who oppose
the confederate conscrption law, appeals
to the eople thus:
'I.et us exert ourselves to the utmost
to return 10 duty the many brave but mis-
sguided men who have left their countrv's
Hag in the hour Of danger" Another
admission Of the extent of assertions from
the rebel army. His proclamation is am
pie proof of the WIDE disaiiection among
the people of that State-a disaffection
so formidable that the Governor finds it
prudent to beg instead of threaten.

A private letter from staunch
Unlonist in Raleigh, says the feeling
among the NORTH Carolina masses against
the tyranny of the Richmond oligarchy is
intense. Meetings are frequent in the
eastern and south eastern section of the
State. Union men who have heretofore
been silent, are becoming bold and persis-
tent in their demands for peace on any
terms.

The Presidents Proclamation.

AGAIN, al moment OF puDHc PERIL
the strong hand of the President steadies
the helm. The Republic is beset by con-
spirators plotting to weaken its armies.
Fooled in attempts at open violence, they
have resorted to msidious efforts under
cover of the forms of justice. Resistance
to the enrolment act comes through the
courts, The Habeas Corpus, which de-
scended to us as the shield of personal
liberty, is to-day, in the hands of traitors,
the two edged sword of treachery and
craft pointed at the heart of the nation.
The President seizes it, and suspends it
over their heads, Courageously and WIS
ly he resolves that the liberty of the few,
if need be, shall be sacrificed for the mo-
ment, in order TO preserve the liberty of
all for all time to come.
The proclamation suspending the Ha-
beas Corpus is dated the 18th of this
present month, and is issued IN pursuance
OF that provision of the Constitution
which IN cases of rebellion or invasion,
permits the writ TO be suspended when
the public safety requires it, and in pur-
suance also of the act of Congress APP
proved March 3, 1868. expressly empow

dent the public safety requires that in the
