RECOGNITION OF THE SPANISH REPUBLIC
Spain moves directly toward q republic.
The leaders of the recent movement are said
to incline toward reorganized monarchy, but
to hold their views as absolutely subordinate
to the popular will, to be ascertained at the
polls. There can scarcely be doubt that II
the people are to pronounce they will pro-
nounce for republic. They cannot under
stand modified monarchy-monarchy with
constitutional restrictions. They can only
associate II with the form in which Il has ap-
peared under the Bourbons, and abhor 1t
accordingly. The force with which the popu-
lar mind expresses its disgust Of that govern
ment indicates the disposition to take the form
the least like II. And this tendency, as moving
the people, win not be qualified by the cold,
cautious and deliberate consideration Of cir
cumstances that might prevail in the minds of
the leaders. We SHALL therefore, In all pro-
liability, soon be called upon to recognize the
Spanish republic as taking It's place among
nations, and there can be no reason whatever
for delaying this friendly observance.

GERMANY IN New LIGHT.-In view OF
probable instruction in Cuba the German
merchants and traders in that island have
taken fright. This, however, is the least in
teresting part Of the business The great
business houses of Germany whose interests
are at stake in Cuba have petitioned the gov
eminent TO send out ships Of war to Cuba in
order that German property and German In

the event of instruction breaking out. Moth

North Germany has taken In the community OF

were as forlorn and helpless as Jews. Now
they can fall back on q powerful and active
government 1t is thus seen that foreign as
well as home necessities will come to the aid
of Bismarck in his great and noble task Of
consolidating the German nationality.

DELMAR FIRING UP AeArN.-Delmar, the
director of the Bureau of Statistics, is not
to be put down by the radical organs
and speakers. His damaging and in the
main correct statement Of the financial condi-
ton of the government, as brought about by
the extravaganza and mismanagement Of Con-
gress and the departments, which was lately
published and which created terrible howl
in the radical camp, is now to be followed up
by another official exhibit on the rate Of taxa
ton at present as compared with that before
the war. lie will show, we understand, that,
whereas the rate in 1850, including federal,
State, county and town taxes, was only four
dollars and thrty-two cents a head for man,
woman and child, the rate in 1868 Is twcnt y
three dollars a head-that is, the burden Of
taxation is over five times heavier now than
eight years ago. Let us have the facts, Mr..
Delmar, for they will be the strongest argu-
ments before the people against radical mis-
government and in favor of q speedy change.

Judge Chase for the Democratic Ticket

The Washington correspondent of the Bali;
more Gazette says:
The Radical fuglemen are now pouring tbo;,
walls of wrath upon the head of Chief Justica
Chase, and charging that he feels keenly his dis
appointment at not receiving the New YorL
nomination. This is known to the friends oF
Judge Chase to be untrue. He declared but
short time since to your correspondent that be
did not desire the nomination, and deemed it I'm.
fortunate that his name should be mentioned in
connection with the Presidency, in view of the
great questions which were being presented to
the Supreme Court for adjudication and decision
The Chief Justice remarked, further, tina; he
would be but a poor candidate for any party, as
his judicial position would seal his lips on MANY
of the most important questions of the day; and
that his great regret was that he had ever al
lowed his name to be used in connection with anv
Office after having taken a seat upon the Supreme
Bench. Such were the privately expressed views
of Judge Chase but few weeks ago, when urged
to allow his name to be used before the Demo-
cratic National Convention and now, if this
gentleman has any feeling on the subject, it is
one of qualification that he has not been forced
into position he was more than willing to avoid.
1t may not be out of place to add that Judge
Chase recognizes in the Democratic nominee for
the Presidency patriot and statesman every
way worthy to be the standard-bearer of the
national party with which the Judge now con-
siders himself fully identified

HOratiO Seymour,

! The peoples candidate for the Presidency at
the next election, is native of Utica, Newly ork.
! His father who was one Of the earlier inhabitants
of that city, and native of Middlebury. Yer
mont, was one of the most distinguished citizens
of Central New York, and at the time Of his
death, which occurred about thirty-fye years
ago. held the Office of Canal Commissioner
| Horatio Seymour, after receiving liberal
education, studied the law, and was admitted to
the bar. Being possessed Of an ample fortune,
and having embarked at ali early age in that
career in which he has been so successful and SO
justly popular, he never practiced his profession
As very young man he was the acknowledged
| favorite Of the young Democracy of New York
His pure and spotless character, his sound judg-
ment, and his fine oratorical powers rendered
aim, thirty years ago, by far the most conspicu-
Gus Of the younger members of the Democratic
party of the Empire State.
In 1850 Mr. Seymour was elected Governor
Of New York bya small majority, over Governor
Washington Hunt. In 1852 he was reelected
by majority of over twenty thousand In
1862 he again elected to the same high
Office, his term expiring in January, 1865. He
was, therefore, Governor Of New York for two of
the most important years Of the late civil war
and it is matter of record that he cordially CO.
, operated with Mr. Lncoln's administration in all
tJuSI measures TOT the vigorous prosecution OF the
war, and received the thanks of Mr. Lincoln for
his exertions short time previous to the death
Of the latter.
Governor Seymour is about ffty-six years of
age. His wife, daughter of the late John r.
Blocker, of Albany, is universally admired for
her intelligence, loveliness Of character and ele
CANT manners. They have no children. Of Mr.
! Seymours three sisters, one married Ledyard
Sinclair, Of Casenovia; another Mr. Shonnard, of
Westchester; and another Hon. Roscoe Conkling,
! United States Senator from New York
| Gov. Seymour's speeches on subjects of great
public interest during the last three or four years
have been universally read, and have secured for
him a national reputation. 1t is not extrayagant
to state that few speeches of the present day
have made deeper impression on the public
mind than those Of Gov. Seymour.
Ifelected to the Presdency--as he undoubted-
! " will be, by an overwhelming majority-he
will bring to the Presidential office talents
eqnallcd by but few Of his predecessors. In
patriotism and purity of character he will not
suffer by comparison with the brightest names
in American history

Who are the RevOlutiOnists.

The Radical papers are, as We expected, get
ting up the cry that ours is Revolutionary
Ticket" This comes with bad grace from a
party whose Captain in Congress, Thad Stevens,
is an avowed Jacobiu and who boots at the Con-
stitution, and who is always recommending all
sorts Of revolutionary proceedings. He is the
true exponent of party that is taking measures
to cut down the white army of the Union and to
organize negroradical army by distributing
two thousand muskets and battery Of artillery
to each Congressional District in the South, the
same to be placed in the hands Gf "loyap men,
or in other words, in those of carpetbaggers and
negroes.
This revolutionary charge is based upon the
letter of General Blair, who comes out fat for
upsetting the Reconstruction acts, which are I'M
constitutional, and, if so declared to be by the
Supreme Court, the Executive has no opinion
in the matter, but is compelled by his oath to
see that the provisions Of the Constitution are
carried out he being sworn to support The great
charter of our liberties, and not the DEGREES Of 4
Jacobn club.
Moreover, the great tide that carries Seymour
and Blair into power will bring in strong ma
jority in the House of Representatives thus
proving Enthusiastically that the people are disgust
cd with the Reconstruction acts, whose object
is to revolutonize the South, and through it the
whole nation.
If a Radical Congress has gone beyond what
they ever dared to- propose to their constituents,
it ought to expect that it should be called to
account, that its members should be turned out
by the people whose will it has disobeyed, and
that an Executive should be put in and new
members returned, who shall carry out the will
of the people, which, throughout the North has
ever revolted at nflicting the rule of negro bar
barians upon either their own States Or others.
The whole of history is full of examples Of just
what the Radicals have attempted They are
the money party Of the country that has, by its
financial dexterity, appropriated to itself almost
all the proceeds Of the taxes arising from labor
They are determined to keep the masses working
for them till Gabriel blows his trumpet. In or
der to accomplish this, they must use military
force which could never have been obtained
from TIE intelligent white tax payers of the
Union, and 50 they must get it from the ignorant
n0ntax payers, the negroes. 1t is the old story
of accumulated wealth making use Of Ignorance
for its unhallowed interests.
Yet this party is the one that has the effrontery
TO accuse its opponents Of revolutionary tendon
cies, when all that the Democracy advocates is
the reversing Of acts that evcnthc Radical leader
Stevens himself never pretended to be anything
but stitutonal.-N0rfoH .jouraGL

perience, put him at the head Of our statesmen.
He commands my entire confidence. [, would

You know I am sincere. Make him feel
this, and that he can rely on me and my friends.

in the good will of my countrymen; but you, bet
ter than any one else, know that it is neither
eeotisical nor overruling, and that [ am really
anxious to give up the nomination to anybody
who can get one single vote more than myself.

delicately, and let him understand my views of

ALABAMA-Gov. Smith was inaugurated last
week in presence ofthe two Houses. He sent
in message, which, in the main, is more con-
servative than was expected. He recommends
in strong language the removal of all disabilities
from the people of Alabama, and bitterly opposes
any disfranchisement except for crime.
