Gov. Seymour alluded to the charges
against the Pfesidenta and to the charges
against one another by the members Of the
House of Representatives. ''Eyen the Sen
ate has pursued policy revolutionary in
tendency In its blindness it is striking
suicidal blows against its own existence. =
Colorado to- day balances four millions of
people in New York. 1t was Admitted
merely to gain two votes in the struggle
with the Executive But bolder act is
in view. Twenty Senators are to be admit
ted from the States lately in rebellion, not
as representatives of the white people, nor

view of a majority of the Senators, and are
sent to Washington by their agents If
this revolution is begun it must go on to- its

neeks of the majority of the American
people ana stop there, but numbers must
be represented, not rotten boroughs or
sham States We implore Senators not to
begin revolution. Be content with yonr

with impartial suffrage and impartial rep
resentation. If you continue your usurpa-

on the doctrine you assert, it may crush
you out and make another Senate based in

may mark out. New York, Pennsylvania,
Kentucky, Tennessee Illinois, Indiana,
Wisconsin, Ohio, Missouri, Iowa, Mime

people, all of which are now virtually dis
franchised in your body, for they are con-

of our population. Ii our Government is

Governor Seymour devoted much of his
speech to the financial question. He op-

''The reports of the Secretary of the
Treasury show we could swiftly wipe out
our debt if our income was not devoted to
partisan purposes. 1t is said it is repudia-
