LETTER FROM SENATOR FEssENDEN.--
In declining public dinner rendered by
Governor Bullock. Samuel Bowles Charles
Eliot Notion and James Russell Lowell, as
well as seventy-three other Republicans OF
Boston and vicinity, Senator Fessenden
under date of June 25, writes long vim.
dlcation of his vote acquitting the Presi.
dent, in which he restates the position OF
his speech in secret session, which we have
published, with great emphasis and variety
9f detail. The only reference he makes to
the aspersioIs on himself is to say:
One thing the people had right to de-
mand of me, before and above all Others,
to-wit that, in dscharging the great trust
they had committed to my hauds, should
shrink from no responsibility which that
trust imposed, and allow no coward fears
of personal consequence to lead me astray
from the path of official duty and I fat
tered perhaps deluded-myself with the
hope that the testimony of life, including
more than fourteen consecutive years of
public service, would protect me against
the vile calumnies of those who sought and
affected to find for course of action by
which could gain nothing and might lose
much, motives criminal or mean. This
hope was founded on belief in the intelli-
gence and candor of the American peopie
who seldom fail eventually to justify those
who serve them faithfully. / am proud
and happy to acknowledge that you, gen.
tlemen, have strengthened and confirmed
that confidence.

The Leader Of the Cause,

The electric spark which yestelda
brought to us over the wires the nomina
tion of Horatio Seymour, as the candi
date of the Democratic party for Presiden
photographed on the public mind a specta
Gle as grand as the world ever saw. Tn
picture of great body, occupied in th
most earnest and important work which
the events of the last seven years-th
period of the Revolutionary War-hav,
imposed on the people, and eliminating te
point of such interest and excitement AZ
reaches US even here in it's incest effects
is worth reproducing in few brief lines tc
our readers.
HOratiO Seymour has no peer in North
ern politics, and is essentially the states
mau of the North. His expositions Of
the party in power-alike of its war and
peace policy-have, from time to time, at
tracted the attention of the country. Yet
he was personally unknown to great ma.
Jority of the Convention. On assuming
his seat as permanent President of that
body, he delivered brief address, radiant
with the light needful to enable it to see its
way through the conflicting preferences
thatswere sure to arise. There is probably
not one member to whom he was personally
unknown that was not impressed with the
high character of that briet address. It's
effects We're to appear afterward.
That Mr.. Seymour accepted the high
honor of presiding over the Convention
with noble sense of the indelicacy of
permitting his name to be used as a candi-
date before it is sufficiently shown 1t is
probable that he had no other objection to
be the choice of the peoples delegates. So
line sense of personal dignity is the nat
ural property of such man. On each oc-
caslon when his name was put in nomina-
ton be declined acceptance in terms that
forbade further action. During two sue
cess!ve days discord and failure followed
every effort, and at last the neeG of laying
brayely on the altar of the cause every in
dividual preference and every selfish con-
sideration became apparent to the patriots
ofthat body.
The Hottest disinterestedness influenced
every mind when the delegation from Ohio
led by Mr.. Vallandigham, put in nominal
ton for the third time the name Of Horatio
Seymour. That great man arose as| be-
fore, and peremptorily declared that his
name could not be submitted, and that his
Withholding it was without qualification.
Mr. Vallandigham eloquently argued that
his wish could no longer be considered.
Amid the confusion that ensued-a confu-
sion inspired alike by admiration of the
man and by emotions of the Hottest patri-
otism, State after State arose by its dele
cations, and changed their votes to him.
On ascertaining that amid this confusion
MIR. Seymour had received more than two
thirds, the ever able aud resolute member
rom Ohio proclaimed the fact, and moved
mat by reclamation he be declared the peo-
pes choice. Thus was chosen as the lea
aer OF the cause great and true man,
whose name and antecedents carry at once
70 the hearts of the people the suspicious
q eme en- Of victory sand deliverance.[ IN.

Anna Dickinson on General Grant,

The gentle Anna is one of the ablest and
most popular orators in the pay Of the Rad
ical party. She has done good service for
the party in times past. Just now she ap-
pears to be stumping it in behalf OF those
Radicals who do not favor the nomination
of General Grant. Anna spoke at E1mira,
New York, and took occasion to hit the
man who does not talk some severe blows.
She warned and threatened in her loving
way. She said:
The Radical party Cannot live upon the
memory Of its good deeds.
Your works in the past won't save you.
Your Radicals shirk the unpopular ne
cessity of putting the black race forward.
You want to cover up the negro with
Grant.
Unless you give the Northern negro the
ballot, you won't get the supprt of the ne
gro South.
1t is not sufficient that Grant was SOL
der. Mcclellan was soldier-Fitz John
Porter was soldier. It is not sufficient
to write against any mans name-soldier.
By nominating Grant you show your
selves towards and pOltroons.
Grant is no standard-bearer when prirci-
Piles are to be fought for.
You want Grant without a platform for
the sake of expediency and winning the
next election.
wouldn't have personal quarrel with
General Grant. l dare to say what great
many are thinking:
don't want Grant for President.
"Speech is silver, silence is golden !"
Grants silence is leaden.
He must speak before he gets the cleo
ton.
You can't hurrah for Grant and win on
that issue.
Shame, shame on those Republicans
who say e I believe the black man should
vote in Louisiana, but under no circum-
stances here in Elmira."
Disintegration stares the Radicals IN the
ACE because they are ashamed to come ont
boldly and openly for negro suffrage.
Don't hide your principles, if you have
got any, behind the smoke of one mans
cigar.

neA- John D. Young has been expelled
from his seat in Congress and the place
given to Mckee, the Radical contestant.
The vote III Yonngs district was as fol-
Iows:-io:: Young Democrat 9,042; for
Mckee [Rad.] 1861 for Green Qnd) s62
Young's majority over Mckee was 1477;
over Mckee and Green, GIT. These fig
ures are not disputed. The men who
drove Young from his seat admit that he
received majority OF the votes cast.
Why, then, is he expelled? Simply be-
cause he is Democrat, while KcKee is a
rampant Radical. This is the whole rea-
son in nutshell. Probably it will be re-
membercd by some voters next Fail.

EGa Butler and Grant have been recon
ciled. Grant says he did not mean any
thing particular when he declared that But
Ter was bottled up at Bermuda Hundred.
Butler says he bears no enmity to Grant.
All difficulties are adjusted, and the great
smoker and great Ibraggart are again on
speaking terms. George Wilkes brought
about this happy.state of affairs. Wilkes
probably has his eye on diplomatic mis-
sion. 1t is rumored that he has been pre-
senting pups and books about horses to
Hiram Ulysses, Ulysses Hiram, Hiram
Simpson, or whatever the mans name may
be, ever since the nomination was made.
