The Issue Fairly Stated-SeymOur or Grant,

The Issue Fairly Stated-SeymOur or Grant!
From Ihe ~ y. sun.
Our friends of the Express, with the saga
city that always marks experienced and astute
politicians have, on the sober second thought,
retired from the arena of passion and entered
the field of argument. In recent article they
impliedly admit that either General Grant or
Governor Seymour should withdraw from the
Presidential canvass. They appreciate, no
doubt, as we do the vast benefits that would
result to the whole country, and especially to
the distracted South, from the unanimous
election Of Chief Magistrate at this novel
emergency. OF course, from their stand point
they argue in favor of the withdrawal of
General Grant rather than Governor Seymour.
Assuming, then, that the Express, in unison
not only with the Sun, but with a large num-
ber of influential journals of both parties, has
arrived at the conclusion that the national
crisis is so unprecedented as to demand ex-
tTaordinary sacrifices on the part of public
men, the only question to be- discussed is,
which candidate which shall withdraw, Gov
ernor Seymour or General Grant 1t has
seemed to us that, in view of the fact of the
inevitable defeat that awaits Governor Sey-
mour if he remains in the field, it will be
much easier to induce him to retire than to
persuade General Grant to abandon a victory
that he already feels to be within his grasp.
Though the generous nature and modest pre-
tensions OF General Grant would incline him
to concede much to the wishes of his friends,
yet, as politicians are invariably selfish, we
could hardly expect the Republicans, with a
great triumph Immediately before them, to
enter upon the task of trying to extort sur
rerder from man who has been accustomed
to fight his battles through to the end.
Nor do the two candidates occupy equal
grounds in another respect. Governor Sey-
mour has never pretended to be Republican.
General Grant has never voted any but a
Democratic ticket. 1t would be much easier,
therefore, to persuade the Democrats to go
| over to Grant than to induce the Republicans
to support Seymour.
This case is not without its difficulties.
| Which of the two distinguished candidates
sought to sacrifice personal feelings for the
pacifcation of the country, depends very much
upon the prospects of the one or the other il
both remain in the field. The ErpreSS admits
that one of them ought to withdraw, and re-
commend the unanimous election of the other.
We think that for every reason it would be
beneficial not only to the country, but to the
Democratic party especially, that the man to
retire should be Governor Seymour. But We
shall be glad to consider with candor and re.
| spect any arguments that may be adduced on
| the other side.

in the appropriation for Rivers aud Harbors,
$4,000, 600; in the appropriations for Freed
mems Bureau, 81 500 600; while the reduo
tion OF the army, which according to the Off jial
showing of the seeretary of War will amount
to lS,OO0 men between the first of July last
aud the first of January next, the reduction
OF the expenses Of the navy, and the civil
and miscellaneous list, will further re-
duee expenditures to the extent of at
least $4,000 600. With this. there will be
an almost certain revenue of 1870, 600 0OO b..
sides, it tsheud be remembered that the amount
paid ont for bounties-$3S, 600 600 last
year, and $40, 600 600 estimated for this year
does not run over into another year, as the
expenditures for the present year will prob
ably pay all claims on the Treasury from this
source. Congress, therefore, would on this
ground alone be safe in legislating with view
to excess of $40, 600, 600 In the receipts over
the expenditures for the next fiscal year In
Short the whole exhibit, instead of being dis
couragipg, as Democratic authorities would
have the people believe, is in the highest de-
gree encouraging, and proves what every one
acquainted with the resources of the country
has long known, that the enormous vitality
of this nation is sufficient to overcome all
the adverse influences that result from a long
war, the necessities for heavy taxation, aud
the mistakes of weak and wicked admins
tration.

Who Freed the Negroes!

r. ON the NaShvile Union and american.
The colored people of the Southern States
hold themselves to be free, and the radical
leaders claim the credit OF their emancipation.
Did the emancipation proclamation of Presi-
dent Lincoln invest them with a valid and
legal freedom The best constitutional law
yers had great doubts of it. The Congress of
the United States thought it so questionable,
that it proposed to amend the Constitution by
declaring slavery abolished and forbidding its
re- establishment. Such an amendment was
submitted to the Legislatures of the several
States for ratification in 1865 The adoption
of this amendment required the assent of three
fourths of the States. President Johnson, on
assuming the administration of theGovernment
proceeded Immediately, after the manner of his
predecess or-the author of the emancipation
proclamation-to organize the States of the
South, with the view OF having this amendment
ratified by the requisite number OF States.
Without such action, the proposition to con-
summate and make sure the emancipation,
would have been a mere imperative paper; of
no binding force, and leaving the negro's
right to freedom an open question. There
was not sufficient number OF so-called loyal
States to accomplish the amendment. The
Southern States, as organized by President
Johnson, promptly ratified the proposed
amendment, and enabled the Secretary of
State TO put the great seal of the American
nation, sanctioned by the whole people, to the
colored mans freedom. This is the history of
emancipation. Who will dispute that it was
the people of the Southern States-the men
now stigmatzed as Rebels and charged with
desiring to re- enslave the negro-whO, by
their voluntary act, secured the colored man S
freedom, and placed it forever beyond legal
question:
Now, what have the loud-mouthed Radical
friends of the negro done since to invali-
date this sacred ordinance, under which he
found secure shelter for himself and his pos
terity from all fear of slavery in the future
By act of Congress in March, 1867 they pro-
nounced these Southern State governments
which had ratified the anti slavery amend
ment to be illegal, and nullifed every act
they had performed. And in this, they vir-
tually repealed the ratification. They have
Teopeped the slavery question, and destroyed
the legal guarantees and safeguards which had
been created for the negro's security and
freedom. If the ratifcatons of Virginia. South
Carolina, and Georgia, were OF no effect, the
thirteenth amendment is nullity, and the
Southern negro has no warrant for his free
dom but the emancipation proclamation
which Radicals themselves pronounce insult
cient in law.
When the colored people are reckoning uI
the number of their real friends, they should
consider these facts, and decide between those
who ratified their freedom and sought to make
IL maj, and those who wilfully undid the
| work.

Democratic FalsehOods Exposed.

From the ~. Y Tribune
The exhibit of the state of our national
finances, which we printed on Saturday morn
ing, and which may be regarded as official,
will be read with interest, apart from its po-
litical bearing, by every one who has the well
fare of his country at heart. 1t completely
demolshes the miserable pretense set up by
Mr.. Delmar and supported by the World, the
Journal of Commerce, aud other Democratic
lights, that the current fiscal year is likely to
show large surplus OF expenditures over re.
ceipts. 1t demonstrates that, even with the
present lax administration Of the law, the
surplus OF receipts over expenditures will
probably range from $50, 900 600 to SIS, 000,-
C00 With the rigid enforcement of the law
respecting the collection of revenue from
tobacco and spirits-and this enforcement will
certainly be- attained during the last quarter
of the fiscal year. under the administration
OF General Grant-the surplus will undoubt-
edly prove much greater. AS it is, the re-
ceipts derived from distilled spirits for the
quarter of the present fiscal year just elapsed
make it certain that the revenue from this
source will be at least double that received
during the last fiscal year. II is useless to
attempt TO explain away these figures. One
quarter of the present fiscal year is closed
and the actual receipts for this quarter, paid
into the Treasury, will undoubtedly prove
nearly or quite 100000, 600. On the other
hand, there can be no question that the eX-
penditures, which last year were reported at
1870 000, 600, will be much less for the current
fiscal year. Nothing has occurred which can
in any way tend to increase the expenditures
above the amount for the last fiscal year, ex-
cept the amount appropriated for the Alaska
purchase, an increase in the pension list of
about 81, OOO, 900, and possible Post Office
deficiency of 100000. Many facts can be
adduced to show that the expenses of the last
fiscal year will be greatly Fsedoed. Thus, for
example, the amount expended last year for
interest on account of the arrearSges due on
the compound interest notes was over $l4O,
O00 600. This year the amount to be paid on
account of interest will not exceed Sl2O, 600 600.
OF the truth of this any one may satisfy him
self by referring to the statement in regard to
the interest. be airing obligations of the United
States' IN the regular monthly exhibit PUB
lished by the Secretary of the Treasury.
Again, among the other items by which the
expenditures for the present fiscal year are
TO be reduced, we may mention the sum for
the reimbursement of States on account OF
war claims, viz, 100000 000 the diminutiou
