ing Mr. Thorpton's argument in full. In allud-
ing to the motives which prompted the rejection
of his amendment Mr.. Il. remalks:
"Thc fact that they refused to vote for it,
left me without any doubt as to what was

THE QUESTION SETrLED.-Considcrabl
doubt has been entertained hcrcabouts as to
the legal right of the soldiers from New York
to vote in the field. The N. Y. Tribune of
Sept cath, under the head Of democratic
State Nominations uses language which sets
the matter at rest In announcing the re-
nomination of the present Governor, Horatio
Seymour. it says: "Werejoicr at the nomina-
ton of Seymour. lIo will now receive that

and they will beat him more than twenty
thousand" The Tribune 4arcs Gov. Sey-
mour to deny that he gravcly proposed in the
Spring of 1861 that New York should avoid
civil war by adopting the Confederate Consti-
tuition and thus placing herself under the rule
Of jeff Davis.
DIsuEARTENING TO THE "DEMoCRAcY."
The news from the scat of war is more and
more favorable to tho speedy triumph OF the
Union cause. The confirmation of the entire
rout and decentralization Of Early's army by
Sheridan; the rapid retreat Of Price out of
Missouri the flight Of Hood before Sherman,
and tho certainty that Gsant will in n fcw
days have Lee htmmcd in, if he is not really
by that time in tho possession Of Richmond,
all tend very much to depress the spirits of
modern Democracy" 1t was only few
days ago that party was very jubillant over
Prices triumphant march into Missouri; Ear
ly's invasion Of Pennsylvania, and Hoods
success in operating upon the communications
Of Sherman. But such is the fortune of war.
If some reverse to Grant army does not hap
pen, Copperhcad stock before long will be at
as great discount as Confederate money
say two cents on the dollar.
"CAsTINE." OF THE SACRAMENTO UNION.
On our first page will be found an extract
from one Of "Castine's" letters to the Union. |
giving an account Of tho very remarkable in
terview between President Lincoln any Fer
nando Wood. The reading public may rely
that the conversation is correctly reported. as
"Castine" has sources Of information not gu
jcycd to the same extent by any other cor
respondent in Washington, and hence the
great importance that attaches to his letters.
