LETTER FROM GOV. SEYMOU Il ON
THE PRESIDENCY.

The following is the letter of Gov. Sey-
mour declining the use of his name as a
candidate for the Presidency:
"UTICA, Monday, November %, 1867
To the Editor Of the Democratic Union, Onsi-
da: SIR see that you have put my name
at the head of your paper as candidate
for the Office of President of the United
States. Other journals in this, as well as
in the Eastern and Western States, have
also thus expressed their wishes for my
nomination by the Democratic National
Convention. These marks of goodwill and
confidence give me great pleasure, but |
am compelled to say that am not and can
not be candidate for the Presidency. As
my reasons for saying this are personal, it
is not necessary to state them. They in no
degree grow out of waning interest in the
great and serious questions which. divide
parties in this country. On the other hand,
| feel that we are about to enter upon an
earnest and thoughtful discussion of the
condition of public affairs. The passions
and prejudices excited by civil war are
dying ont. All now see that questions of
finance, tariff, the rights Of the States, and
the powers of government can not be set
tied by clamors and calumnies. Both par
ties feel that the grave problems growing
out Of the disordered state of the country
must be confronted, and that due respect
for their organizations demands an earnest
and thoughtful inquiry as to the best
modes of Tightening the load of debt and
taxation which binders the business of our
land and weighs down with heavy shackles
the arms of labor. In trying in the future,
as have in the past, to uphold principles
which l deem to be right, l can do battle
with more vigor when am not a candi-
date for official position.
Very truly yours, etc,
HORATIo SEYMOUR.

The following is the order OF Gen. Han
cock, issued on the Goth ult., on assuming
command of the fifth military department,
and, as foreshadowing his line of policy,
will be read with general interest
HEADQUARTERS FIFTH MILITARY Dis
TRICT, NEW ORLEANS, La, Nov. 29, 1867.
General Orders No. 40.-1. In accord
ance with general orders No. 81, head
quarters of the army, Adiutant Generals
office, Washington, District of Columbia,
August q, 1867, Major General w. 8,
Hancock hereby assumes command of the
fifth military district, and of the depart
ment composed of the States of Louisiana
and Texas
q The General commanding is gratifed
to learn that peace and quiet reign in this
department Ii will be his purpose to pre-
serve this condition of things. As means
TO this great end, he regards the mainte~
nance of the civil authorities in the faith
fnl execution of the laws az the most eff
cient under existing circumstances.
In war it is Indispensable to repel force
by force, and overthrow and destroy oppo-
sition to lawful authority. But when the
insurrectionary force has been oVerthrown
and peace established, and the civil
authorities are ready and willing to per.
form their duties, the military power
should cease to lead, and the civil admin
stration resume its natural and rightful
dominion. Solemnly impressed with these
views, the General announces that the great
principles of American liberty still are the
lawful inheritance Of this people, and ever
should be. The right of trial by Jury, the
hdJeds corpus, the liberty of the press, the
freedom of speech, and the natural rights of
persons and the rights of property must be
preserved.
Free institutions, while they are essen
tial to the prosperity and happiness of the
people, always furnish the strongest in
ducements TO peace and order Crimes and
ofenses committed in this district must be
referred TO the consideration and Judgment
of the regular civil tribunals, and those tri-
bunals will be supported in their lawful
jurisdiction.
Should there be violations of existing
laws which are not inquired into by the
civil magistrates, or should failures in the
administration of justice in the courts be
complained of, the cases will be reported
to these headquarters, when such orders
will be made as may he deemed necessary.
While the General thus indicates his
purpose to respect the'liberties of the PEG.
pie, he wishes all to understand that armed
instructions or forcible resistance to the
law will be instantly suppressed by arms.

THE MONEY ISSUE.
It's Importance Before ala other Ques-
items.

From the New York World, Nov. 30.
Questions of finance irresistibly force
themselves into prominence after great
wars. For the ten years after the overthrow
of Napoleon, they predominated in the
politics of England and convulsed the coun-
try as it had not been convulsed in the
colossal struggle of the preceding twenty
years. After our war Of the revolution, it
was financial questions that shattered and
overthrow the Confederation, and led to the
formation of the present constitution.
Those same financial questions were inherit
ed by the new government, and the policy
of Hamilton, by which they were met and
solved, was debated with altogether more
heat than any other questions of the period.
After the close Of our second war with
Great Britain, the same class of questions
doomed into prominence, and continued to
agitate the country with little cessation for
the ensuing thirty years until the slavery
question and the Mexican war supplanted
them by engrossing the public interest.
The tariff and currency questions rocked
the country from side to side; and the
three statesmen of that period, whose names
were in all ,nouths expended their best en-
history and that Of England proves that
sNch topics are capable of stirring public
feeling to its profoundest depths. In fact,
most of the great events of modern times
have turned on them. The French ReVo-
lrtion grew out of the financial dift-s
culties which led to the eonvoking Of
the States General The greatest of all
the English revolutions, that which be-
headed Charles the First, and introduced
the protectorship of Cromwell, had its
source in financial difficulties between
Charles and Parliament. We are in the
dawn of an era when financial discussions
will agitate the country more deeply than
in the time of Hamilton, more deeply than
in the days of Andrew Jackson when they
came near lighting the torch of civil dis
cord. Most public questions have only
distant interest for the great body of the
people; these come home 10 every mans
business and fireside.
That they have not sooner risen into
absorbing prominence is due to the preoc"
cupation Of the country with the dragging
sequences of the war. Wars commonly
end by definitive treaty of peace, in
which the future relations of the parties
are settled, and all questions connected
with the conflict closed. Had our civil
war come to a like clean result, we should
long ago have been in the midst Of excito
ing financial discussions; they would have
been two years ago what they are presently
to become, the pivot of our politics. These
questions are too pressing to be longer de-
ferred, and although the future relations of
parties to the late war are not yet settled,
they will sink, before the winter is half
spent, into subordination to the topics
which must for some years be supreme in
our politics.
