Responses of HOraLiO Seymour aud Frank
Blair 40 the Democratic Committee.

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE following is
Governor Seymour's response to the com
mittee of the National Democratic Con.
Vention:
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Com
mittee-l thank you for the courteous terms
in which you have communicated to me the
action Of the Democratic National Conven-
ton. l have no words adequate to express
my gratitude for the good will and kindness
which that body has shown to me. Its nom
ination was unsosght and unexpected. 1t
was my ambition to take an acuVe part,
from which am now excluded, IN the great
struggle going on for the restoration OF good
government, Of peace and prosperity to our
country.
ing tide that is bearing us on to a great po-
litlcal change, and find myself unable to
resist its pressure. You have also given to
me a copy of the resolutions put forth by
the convention, showing its position upon
all the great questions which now agitate
the country. As the presiding officer of
that convention | am familiar with their
scope and import, aud as one of its mem
bers am party to theif terms. They are
in accord with my views, and stand upon
them in the contest upon which we are now
entering, and shall strive to carry them
out iu the future wherever may be placed
ia public or private life. / congratulate
you, and all Conservative men who seek to
restore order, peace, prosperity, and good
government to our land, upon the evidences
everywhere shown that we are to triumph
at the next election.
Those who are politically opposed to us
hattered themselves that there would be
discord in our COUNCILS. They mistOOk the
uncertainties of our views as to the best
methods of carrying out our purposes for
differences of opinion with regard to those
purposes. They mlstOok an intense AK ely
TO 90 no act which should not be wise aud
judiciOns for spirit of discord. But during
the heightened proceedings and earnest
discussions of the convention, there has pre-.
vailed an entire harmony OF intercOursp, "a
patient fOrbearance. and seIt-sacrihcing
spirit which are the same tokens of a COM
ing victory. Accept for yourselves, gentle
men, my wishes for your future welfare and
happiness. In a few days | will answer the

VIOLENCE IN CLAIBORNE PARISH,
The Homer niad Destroyed,

The following dispatch was received last
evening:
MGNDEN, La, July II, 1868.
Hon. W. Jasper Blackburn:
Your press was destroyed last night.
Type scattered. Parties unknown.
(Signed) JOHN L. LEWIS.
Thus another outrage is added to those
which the Union men of the South have so
long suffered. ..
A loyal press for disseminating loyal sen
timents is ruthlessly destroyed.
They are manly populace, those of Clai-
borne parish. When the proprietor of the
press is absent and its conduct is left in
the hands of his little son, these beautiful
specimens of a modern chivalry, in the
night, in disguise, descend upon his habita.
ton and lay it in ruins.
1t is good way to bring prosperity upon
ruined country this way of destroying
printing presses. 1t conciliates intelligent
men and convinces them at once that the
iconoclasts are in the right. 1t induces i'm
migration, and peaceful men bring their
families to settle in just such neighbor-
hoods.
Mr.. Blackburn was recently elected a
member of Congress from that district, and
goes to Washington on Monday to take his
| seat.
To destroy his press is just the way to
| incite him to utmost endeavor to promote
the interests of these prowling aud plumber,
! ing citizens.
We call on the chairman of the Committee
on Militia in the House of Representatives
to prepare and report at once bill which
shall afford protection to every loyal man
and to his property in every parish of this
| State.
We can enforce order and quiet, and We
must do it. A bill providing for well
organized militia or an efficient Constabu-
larry force should claim the earliest attcntier
of the Legislature.
