conflict took place, in which artillery
was used by the troops, and the loss

The North and South, a prominent
Democratic journal at Cincinnati, in
a late issue, says:
| will venture to say that not mere
ly in Cincinnati, but throughout Ohio,
not only In Ohio, but everywhere west
of the mountains, the GOODNESS with
which the nomination of Mr.. Sey-
mour was received by the members of
his party has no parallel In American
political history. There are very few
who are not more than dissatisfied

date; Gisgusted with the palpable
trickery of himself and his supporters.
in New York disguised with the
rampant stupidity Of the Democratic
leaders of Ohio, whose folly came in
as the appropriate compliment to the
others knayery.
In speaking of Mr.. SEYMOUR the
article says:
Whatever may be said of the talents
of Mr.. Seymour, he is a very weak
man with the people-even in New
York. Mr.. Seward spoke the truth
of him when he laconicaily said, Nj.
Seymour always runs behind his tick
et." He did so 10 1864-his vote hav-
ing been exceeded by hal of Me-
ClellaD in every county of the State,
two only excepted, and even in New
York City. One thing is palpable-
his stimulating power with the West
ern Democracy IS exceeding small; to
which it might be added that from
the Republican ranks he will draw
nothing.

THOSE BILLs.-Two or three days
ago the Courier announced that it
had an article in type, or prepared.
in reply to our exposition of the man
ner in which it was bidding the
Council, but that it was crowded out.
We have been waiting patiently for
its appearance, but still it does not
come. Why is this thus? Is no ex-
PLANTATION regarded as satisfactory.
Is the emergency too great for the
distinguished bank accountant, who
presides over the local columns of
that paper, and whose efforts have
stamped him as a very genius among
figures? We are anxiously waiting
the promised explanation. So arc
not a few taxpayers, who were gulled
into voting the Democratic ticket
with promises of a more economical
administration of city affairs. We
are anxious to see the explanation
for the additional reason that we have
a few more comments to make OF
that interesting financial operation.

In GRANTS letter of acceptance we
read:
IF elected to the Office of President
of the United States, 1t seiH Be ma en-
deavor to administer ALL THE LAWS
an good faith, with economy. and min
the Uieao Of giriag PEACE, QUIET AND
PROTECTION EVERYWHERE"
In FRANK p. BLAIR's letter before
nomination we read a very different
doctrine:
There is but one way to restore
the Government and the Constitution;
and that is for the President to declare
the reconstruction acts null and cold,
compel the army to undo its usurpa-
tions at the South, DIsPERsE THE CAR
PET BAG STATE GOVERNMENTS. allow
the white people to r~eorganize their
own governments, and elect Senator's
and Representatives"
In the former we have obedience to
law, protection and peace in the lat
ter, disorder, military despotism, and
civil war.

THE Mobile Tribune makes a signi-
ficant exhibition Of the Democratic
spirit in that section. 1t says that
in the event Congress attempts to
carry out the Reconstruction laws in
respect to the Presidential election,
"a the great Democratic party will rise
in its might and majesty, and p%ulver-
ize and purge the Congress, just as
CROMWELL purged the long Parlia-
ment.' 1t further says: 1.-The signs
of the times are pregnant with resist
ance to Radical tyranny, and the dag
ger of BRUTUs may aid in accomplish
ing our redemption from Radical rule,
ruin and ~usurpation."
