TO such policy Horatio Seymour stands
committed. M 80
The Democratic platform, the national debt,
and Horatio Seymour's record were reviewed
| in manner that attracted the closest attention
ct the andienee, land ELECTED the heartiest APP
plause. His comments upon the platform
adopted at the New York Convention were Sc
we're but just. The leaders of the rebellion
framed that platform and went into the Con-
ventlon demanding the immediate restoration
of the seeded States and amnesty for all past
offences, and the platform framed by those
who had planned and led on the rebellion was
adopted as the yplatfor N of the Democratic
party. ~ E |-t I'D A h#
His remarks in relation to the national debt,
and the Justice Of meeting our obligations mot
by promises in greenbacks, but by just pay
ment of them-met with a hearty response
from every one present.
Horatio Segmour's record was presented in
true and just manner. The orator traced his
tOrtuous course from 1851 to 1868, especially
when he was Governor of the State of New
York, and quoted from his addresses to prove
that, at heart, heswa in favor of the secession
of the Southern States. In abiding to the
speech Gov. Seymour made to the mob of New
York. whom he styled "My friends" Mr..
Storrs said, in allusion to the work of Gov.
Seymour's friends in. the murder of Col
O'Bron, bnrning of an Orphan Asylum &C.,
"don't you wish Gen. Chamberlain had been
there with four Maine regiments and Gen
Logan with four Illinois regiments? These
proceedings would have been very quickly
stopped and the number of Democratic voters
have been somewhat lessened."
Gen. Storrs closed his address by taking up
the parable of the Prodigal Son, and compar-
| ing the conduct OF the South and their pres
eut demands with those made by him of scrip
| ture history. '--t-' ..+
| Mr.. Storrs spoke two hours, his remarks he
ing frequently interrupted by the enthusiastic
applause of his hearers, enchanting the clos
est attention of the largest audience ever
convened in the Hall. At the conclusion O.
| his remarks three cheers re given for Grant
| and Colfax, three for Gov Chamberlain, three
for Hon. John Lynch and three for the orator
of the evening.

tne passage OF this act, unless the person VINO was
wounded or contracted the disease was In the line OF
duty" and, III III the naval service was at the time
borne on the books of some ship other vessel OF
tne united states, ~ sea in harbor, actually In
commission, or was on has way, BY direction OF conf
other vessel or naval station.I Some OF the most
hazardous duty IN which naval Officers are called
upon to engage is discharged at shore stations and
when their names are not borne upon the books OF n
vessel actually In commission II Is manifestly IN
Just TO deprive the family OF an officer or seaman
who may lose his lite while engaged in proving
gun, nring SALUTE 'n the line OF dutyn In any
other way, OF the small pension heretofore allowed
in such cases. because his name happens to be borne
upon the books OF the station instead OF vessel i'm
the harbor actually in commission. Within the past
month oilcer who had been forty two years In the
service has died OF disease contracted In the line OF
duty' Shore and under the provisions Of this act
his family are deprived Of pension. II II recon-
mended that the law be amended IN this particular.
