Gov. SeymOur's Loyalty.

A gentleman writes to the Chicago
Republican,
"Once, and only once, saw and
heard HoratiO Seymour and me-
thinks that none who then heard him.
be they Republicans or Democrats.
are in doubt as to where Horatio Sey-
mOur's sympathies were, in the great
contest for the nations life. Well do
l recOllect it; it was in 1862, when the
news of Grants capture of Fort Don
elsOn ran from heart to heart as it did
along the wires. 1t was the first sig
nal success of Northern arms. Gov.
Seymour was in Milwaukee, a guest at
the Newhall House. He was called
upon by the crowd for a speech. But
what speech for such an hour! So
heartless and cold were his words
they seemed to freeze as they fell.
Each sentence was like water upon
flame. Not an expression of thank
fulness for the nations prospect of
deliVerence not a word of congratu-
Iation fof a great victory; not word
OF praise for our brave boys in blue ;
not breath of hope for a successful
sequel to the war. It was the general
remark among the hearers, after he
mad finished, that all he had said could
have been uttered as consistently and
as earnestly by Jefferson Davis him
self, upon the same occasion. That
HoratiO SeymOur's sympathies were
that night with the parrieides of the
nation, few that there heard him will
ever disbelieYe."

Democratic Refrenchment.

A Legislative session of 134 days, at
S. per day-the longest session ever
held in Ohio, at the highest per diem
ever paid State Legislative.
An adjournment to the first Of Nov
ember, with probability ofasix months
session next.
Near One Hundred Thousand Dol
drs excess of Legislative salaries vast
ed-the idiots, insane and other un-
fOrtunates left with an insufficient
appropriation, for the purpose Of max
ing a show Ofretrenchment.
Taxpayers, how do you like it 4?
The expense of the last session of
the Democratic Legislature were S466,
000-at least 500, 600 in excess Of what
they should have been.
The adjourned session viii COM
mence on the 23d of November next,
and will swell the whole expence of
legislation for the year to S215, 900.
The entire expenses of the Repub-
lican Legislature last year were $93,
843.
Such is Democratic retrenchment.
The foregoing is from the Column

The Delaware Gazette completes
the indictment. 1t says:
In return for this " aste Of the peO-
ple's money we have the disfranchise-
ment of our crippled soldiers at the
Dayton Home; a stigma placed upon
intelligence by making knowledge a
bar to voting; Revolutionary attempt
to trample under foot the Constitution
of the State and the decisions of the
courts, in order to rob Republican
voters of the ballot a malicious at
tempt to Withdraw the assent Of the
Legislature to the XIVth CONSTITUTE
onal Amendment ratified by the peo-
pie by over forty thousand majority :;
a wantOn and arbitrary interference
with the elective franchise by enact
ing that the freeman's ballot shall be
illegel unless printed on paper Of a
particular color; the unseating of a
Republican Senator, cOnstitutiOnally
elected, merely to increase a factious
and accidental majority large num-
Der of additional judges heavily salaried
at the expense of the State; a vast
amount of special legislation and To-
cal taxes no Farmers College; i; no

REBEL TACTICS.
How Alabama is to be Carried
for SeymOur-The Au-AluX
an Important Instrument.

From the Mobile Register, July 81.
A WORD TO THE DEMOCRACY OF AL
ALBANIA.
A thorough and efficient organizat-
ion will secure you a glorious victory IN
November. You can easily carry maj
ority of negro votes for Seymour and
Blair. You must organize a central
club at every county seat-clubs in
every civil district. Let it be compOs-
ed of whites and blacks-ifyou have
but one Democratic negro in the dis
trict or beat, enroll him asa member.
Meet regularly and frequently, and
each member of the club endeavOr to
bring out one ormore colOred Radicals
to hear your discussions. BY this
means you will encourage a spirit OF
independence among them; they will
become enrolled, and when they see
and understand the iniquities of the
Radicals they will condemn them in
their honest hearts. This will bring
about a spirit of persecution on the
part of the Leaguers, which will bring
them into your ranks. Procure i'm
mediately Seymour and Blair badges,
and present them to your cOlored
members.
1t is easy to make them understand
that the reason they have not receiv-
ed higher wages and made more mon
ey is owingto the exOrbitant tax that
the planter has had to pay. 1t is easy
to prove to them that their interest is
thoroughly identified with the man
who owns the land and mules-the
proposition that labor and capital
must work together is simple and
easily impressed upon them.
Impress it upon them that Northern
immigration brings with it Yankee
improvements; machinery that one
man can take and do the work of ten
men. This leaves nine idle; that it
makes lands worth fifty dollars per
acre that can now be bought for five :;
that we require their labor because
we are used to it; and if they force
Radical rule upon us the Yankee will
Overrun the country, and their Occupa-
will be gone, and lands will be so high
that they cannot purchase homes for
themselves and families.
Your club organizations are neces-
sary to protect the person and prop
erty of your colOred friends from the
prosecutions of the League. You
must protect them with your lives;
you owe it to your manhood!
You want money! Money you
must raise the first thing; money to
pay for printing; to put Democratic
cOlored speakers in the field; when
ever you find one that can speak take
him from his crop, pay his expenses,
support his family, and put him out
to canvassing; nor stand upon the
order of his work. Correspond with
Mississippians and get them to send
you help.
DenOunce the Loyal League upon
every occasion organize a Ku-Klux
Klan whenever they organize a League
meet in friendship and peace as Christ
ians should; meet midnight leag-
uers and enemies as manhood dares.

Rumor has it that there is great
cOolness between Queen Victoria and
her eldest daughter, the Princes Royal
of Prussia. The latter is said to have
urged her mother to desist from her
purpose of abdicating her crown and
retiring to Castle ROsenau, in Thurin-
gia. Her sister Alice, the Princess OF
Hesse-D -Darmstadt, is said to have added
greatly to the estrangement between
her mother and her eldest sister, OF
whom she is exceedingly Jealous. 1t
is even believed that the Queen has
made will, in which she disinheTits
the Crown Princess Of Prussia, and
leaves the bulk Of her fortune to the
Princesses Alice, Helena and Louisa,
bequeathing only moderate sums to
Wales, Prince Arthur and Prince Be-
OpOld.

The COIOred vote Of the south.

One of the most significant features
of the political canvass now going on
in the South, is the fact that the DEM
Oeratic party is entering into an ami
mated and, apparently, not altogether
unsuccessful competition with the Re
publicans for the vote Of the cOlOred
people. In Georgia the Democrats
put forward the claim that they will
get, at least, 10000 of the 96, 900 negro
votes Of that State. In Georgia the
Democrats, headed by Howell Cobb,
have formed a sort Of League, the
members of which pledge themselves
not to give work to any negroes who
cannot show that they are members
of some cOlOred Democratic club. 1t
is stated that there are fourteen cOlOred
Democratic clubs in Savannah, Ca,
and that numerous accessiOns" " are
received at every meeting. The bad
ges of these clubs are exhibited by
cOlOred men seeking labor as proof
that they intend voting the Democrat
ic ticket. The Republicans aver that
the colOred men who join these clubs,
do so under coercion to procure en-
plOyment, and that they will "play
pOssum" when the election comes,
and vote the Republican ticket
Washington Star.

Each church aspersing copperhead;
Each preacher cursing eOpperhead;
Each Union hating,

For Gen. Grant with conquering tread,

In politics, a cOpperhead;
A Democratic copperhead,
A vile fanatic copperhead;
A murder jeering,
