The Nelc- York Times is not pleased with THE
TRIBUNE for what il calls our attacks upon
Senators who voted against Impeachment. We
do not desire to attack any Senator for his
vote upon Impeachment If The Times would
read THE TRIBUNE carefully it would find
that our whole aim has been TO see that these
Senators received ample justice. They did
President Johnson great service, and, In the
interest of fair play, we demand that the Presi-
dent shall pay his debts, and that the Senate
shall help him to do so by confirming his nomi-
nations. Thus, wehave done all we could to Sc
cure to the father-in-law of one of the Senators
the place OF Commissioner of Patents, and we
heartily join with The Times in denouncing the
effort 10 prevent his appointment as partisan
malignty." We supported the nomination OF
Mr.. Evarts, we were panied beyond express
sion to find Mr.. Stanbery rejected, and we have
supported Mr.. Nelson for every place In the
gift of the Government, from the Governor
ship of Alaska to the Secretaryship OF State
We further give notice that we shall insist that
every officer whose name President johnson
sends in to oblige any of these Senators or their
families shall be promptly confirmed. We were
proud to notice that notwithstanding these

President johnson because of his attacks upon
the Constitution, Immediately upon the failure
of Impeachment they renewed the intimacy,
and made themselves agreeable at the White
House. We looked upon this as an evidence of
harmony, and as an indication that IL the
President was slow to fulfill his part Of
the bargain, they would not be slow to
hold him to it. Far be it from us to attack
these gentlemen, or to say one word to their
discomfort. But we trust The Times will ad-
monish them to be as moderate rs we are. 1t
is not long since Mr.. Fessenden wrote a letter
full of bitter invective, characterizing the Re-
publican press as interruptions, familiar with
"detraction, believers in neither public nor pri-
"vate virtue. or, II believers, considering both
as out of place in politics" Mr.. Trumbull
also gave ua letter allied with pystad2gs

Comments hu The Tribune.

Gov. Seymour is a fluent, talking man, and
very frequently addresses the public. He was
Governor of our State during two years of the
war, twice canvassed widely as an aspirant to
that office, spoke at the Tweddle Hall Conyen-
ton at its outset, delivered an Grafton in this
City on the 4th of July, 1862 &c, &c. Out of
all his utterances from first to last The World
culls the foregoing to prove his hostility to the
Rebellion. If he had ever said anything more
cogent, it would of course have been quoted
above.
Now, then, having set before our readers the
evidence on both sides we rest the case. If
the above extracts prove Seymour hearty
supporter of the War for the Union, then
Stonewal Jackson was of course mistaken in
calling on the Rebels to cheer the news OF his
election as Governor, at every station from
Fredericksburg to Richmond. Then the British
Minister, who wrote home to his Government
that graphic account of the effect of Seymour's
election here, and the real views of the Demo-
cratic leaders with whom he conferred, was
also mistaken. We're theyi We do not be-
lieve it. Judge for yourself

There is one point about MIR. Blair's letter
which strikes us as very singular. He is the
first candidate for the Vice-Presdency that
ever in his letter of acceptance went ont of his
way to personally abuse his opponent. We
can imagine nothing so indecent as this. Poll
ticians on the stump, In the excitement of de-
bate, may say indiscreet and Incorporate
things but that General who aspires to be
the Vice President of the United States should
deliberately sit down and attack Gen. Grant,
especially when he should remember that not
long since he was proud to serve under him
and TO receive favors from him, is astonishing,
Mr. Blair has always been an audacious man
but we do not think even his own career can
parallel his last attempt.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1868-07-23

We publish elsewhere letter from The N. Y,
Herald, which gives us the startling news that
President Johnson is actually going to depose
Seymour and Blair. Although Mr.. Tilden aud
his friends did not deem him worthy to be
named in the Convention. yet they did not
hesitate to go and AJAX him for the offices at
his disposal, to beg his support for their
nominee. and to cajolo him into giving them
all his patronage by assurances of their respect
for HIM as statesman. The Second Jackson
is not to be cajoled in this manner; and
although Jonah ID. Hooyer-who, during the
War; was considered by those who knew him
best to be Secessionist-and Senator Doolittle,
and John ID. Van Buren, have all been coaxing
His Excellency, he has put his foot down and
declined to be "found flying at the tail OF
Gov. Seymours kite The quarrel is none
of ours, and we merely put it upon record as
a singular illustration of political ingratitude
and revenge.

The Union League Club will hold special
meeting on Friday evening, the Gath inst, at
8 o'clock, to consider the proprety of asking
Congress not to adjourn until they have
secured to the Governments and people OF
the Reconstructed States the protection guar
"ranteed to them by the Constitution against
domestic violence; and further, until they
" have SO amended tho Naturalization laws as
&" to afford protection against the frauds which
Z" have been perpetratod with entire immunity
under the existing system"
The two subjects embraced in the call are OF
vast and instant importance, and the prompt
action of the sgners, which will doubtless be
heartily seconded by the Union League OF
Philadelphia, indicates the quick and deep con-
viction of our commercial and industrial classes
that Congress cannot safely adjourn without
providing ample security against a renewal of
violence at the South. The Governments es
tablished by Congress may, it is true, appeal
for protection to President johnson, but they
would appeal in vain, for lie holds that they
" are illegitimate and of no validity whatever"
and whatever assistance he chose to give would
be given doubtless to the Governments formed
under his own ORDER and which, in defiance
of Congress, he still recognizes as valid.
In regard to the enormous frauds which have
become part and parcel of our naturalization
system, especially as administered in this city
by partisan courts, and with a perfect lOOseness,
threaten to defeat the constitutional will of the
people, all good citizens will rejoice at such
just and proper amendments as may be neces-
sary for thpir nrotectiOD

insinuations and threats The speech Of Mr..
Ross was in the same vein Mr.. Fowler de-
nounced Gen. Butler and Gen. Logan and Mr..
Henderson, not long since, in secret session OF
the Senate assailed Gen. Butler in speech
which we have not yet heard that he intends
to deliver In an open session of that body. The
difficulty, therefore, is not with THE TRIBUNE,
but with the Senators themselves. They invite
abuse by indulging in it, We are willing to
let them alone, to give them all the credit they
deserve, to honor them for their Roman virtue,
and to see that Andy Johnson makes all the
amendments they demand. What more can
we dos .'... t.. j. ...'- '.
We certainly cannot join with The Times in
saying that
known In America their personal Independence the IN
OF the Senate the rights OF conscience anu
private Judgment, and their honor Forever aistn
euished i'm the most honorable way among hePupieah
Senators will be the of Trumbu Fessenden, HOSE
Henderson, Grimes, Fowler, and Van Wrinkle"
For us to say this will be to reflect upon
such Senators as Sumner, Morgan, Conkiing,
Sherman, Morton, Cameron, Anthony, Sprague,
ETC., all of whom are distinguished in an hon
orable way among Republican Senators. The
Seven Senators are all great men, honorable
men. conscientious men. But then they do not
embrace all the honor, grandeur, and conscience
of the Senate; and it is because we hesitate to
say this that The Times is dissatisfied.

F. A. Sawyer and Thomas j. Robinson were
yesterday sworn in as members of the Senate.
The question of adjournment was then
taken up, and after long debate it
was agreed to adjourn from Monday next
to the third Monday in September. The re-
prisal clause in Mr.. Conness's bin for the pro-
lection of American citizens abroad was
stricken out, and, after the adoption of an
amendment by Mr.. Williams, the subject was
postponed until tomorrow. After hearing a
personal explanation from Mr.. Stevens the
House took up the Missouri Election case of
Hogan agt. Pile. but did not dispose of it. The
Senate bill providing temporary government
for Wyoming Territory was passed. Mr. f. w.

The ". Y. Times says:

at is entertaining 20 see Mr.. Horace Greeley reading
Mr. Thaddeus out Of the Republican party. We
win now, doubtless, see Mr. Stevens reading out Mr..

The Times misstates II was Mr.. Stevens
who threatened to secede, and vote for Sey-
mour and Blair, if the Republicans did not
conform to his Greenback theory ms to the pay
ment of the National Debt. AS we are not
accustomed to be bullied into swiDdling, We
told him that the Republican party would
never adopt his repudiating crotchet-so, if he
lie going to leave us on that issue, he might
better go ahead at once.
We read no man out of any party but we
insist that, if the National creditors are to be
swindled, the party that hates them for lend
ing their money to put down the Rebellion
shall do it; and it wiH.

The patent of the American Wood-Paper
Company generally known as Mellier's PATENT
expires on the LIST of next month, and the
owners are making strenuous exertiOns to OBJ
tain an extension for seven years. We trust
they will not succeed They have misused
their privileges in such way as to create an
Odous monopoly in the manufacture OF an ar
ticle of prime necessity for the whole country,
aud it would be against public policy to grant
renewal They claim the exclusive right to
use alkalies in subduing straw to DO made into
paper and as straw papers for printing and
wrapping are now very largely in use, and
must continue so while rags are dear and scarce,
the patent gives them an opportunity OF keep
ing the price at an extravagant figure, and thus
in measure checking the diffusion of inteli-
gence. From every small mill these patentees
exact a royalty of $4,000 cash and five
eighths of cent pound on the manu-
featured product; beside which we are
credbly informed that they compel all
manufacturers who buy their rights to sign
bond agreeing to stop their mills when
ever ordered Thus the company secures an
absolute control of the paper market, which
circumstance alone ought to be enough to de-
feat their application for an extension OF the
Datent.
