Delegates rushing to and fro,
cursing everybody and cheering for
everybody, foaming with beer and
Democratic rage, displaying knives
and pistols with terrific threats,
shaking the hall from roof to foun-
dation, filling the air for squares
round with the noise of their cop
per-lined throats, produced a sensa-
tion to which Greenfield was an ut
ter stranger. The proprietor of the
hall, Mr.. Baldwin, who has a store
room below, becoming fearful that
his might be the fate of Sampson,
hurried up stairs, and after repeated
efforts succeeded in gaining the at
tentiOn Of Hon. II. L. Dickhy, who
mounted the Speakers desk, the
Speaker himself having completely
wilted, and addressed the crowd as
follows:
"My fellow Democrats, it makes
my Democratic blood run warm
within my veins to see so much en-
1t insures our success
next fall. Where there is noise
there is life, and where there is life
there is work, and where there is
work there is results. But in view
of the disagreement of delegates, it
is better that this Convention ad-
journ."
Dickey's suggestion being taken,
q motion was Immediately made to
adjourn till September 1st, which
being carried, the delegates dispers-
ed, further from o nomination than
when it began; and after having
put themselves outside of all the liq-
uor in town, went to their homes
drunker, but not wiser men.
Since the Convention the High
land and Fayette Democracy have
it upon reliable Democratic author
ity that the Safordites have resolv-
ed that, unless they can nominate
a Ross county Democrat at the
next meeting, they will bolt the
Convention and nominate indepen-
lently; whereupon the Democracy
Of Highland and Fayette swear that,
should the Ross county men carry
out their threat, they will unite with
the Republicans and make sure the
election OF the Hon. Mills Gardner.

A Greenfield correspondent to the Cincinna-

amusing account of the Democratic Judicial
convention. Although we have given the
TINES correspondents account of this exhi-
bition of brotherly love, ~ we think our read
ers would hold us accountable for a neglect of
duty If we did not, at least give portion of
the Chronicles account also; Therefore we

Su0Ohs
Horatio Seymour has the impu
dence to present himself for the suf
frages of the loyal soldiers. On the
23d of April, 1868, the following
proceedings transpired in the Legis
lature of New York:
GA message was received from the
Governor, vetoing the soldiers proxy
vote bill, on the ground of uncon
stitutionality, and the bill was passe q
notwithstanding his objections-2(
to 9.
"Mr. Ganson's resolution propos
ing an amendment to the cOnstitu
ton to enable soldiers to vote, pass
ed 20 to 9.
"The resolution characterizing the
Governors message on the soldiers
proxy vote bill, as extra official and
unauthorized, was adopted-16 tc
10.
We find the proc@ tdings in the
Assembly, on this bill, during the
close OF the session ON the Oath, were
as follows:
"The veto of the Governor on the
soldiers proxy vote bill having been
read, the question was taken on pass
ing the bill over the veto. Lost-37
to 40.
"The House concurred in the Sen.
ate amendments to the resolutions
amending the constitution, SO as to
allow soldiers to vote-70-3"
1t is this man who denied to sol
diers the right Of suffrage, because
they had devoted themselve to the
cause of the country, who now asks
them to make him President, in or.
der that he, acting in conjunction
with Southern rebels, may undo the
work which they accomplished with
so much sacrifice OF blood and treas
ure. But the "boys in blue" will
not thus be deceived.

A PHENoMENoN.-During last weeE

b. & l. Railroad, some $50 feet long
short distance west of Silver Lake
in this county, has sunk some six
teen feet, and the ground, % fee,
from the track on both sides, haf
sunk with it; and beyond that, the
earth has bulged up some ten feet

and the track has been raised tempo.

The Buffalo Commercial, speaking
of HOratio Seymour, says: "The
late Dean Richmond, the Warwick of
the Democracy in this State, thor
oughly disliked him, couldn't speak
of him without evincing a sturdy
disgust of the two-faced demagogue.
Hes a humbug, boys, a id
humbug,' the Dean was wont to say,
when talking with those whopossess-
cd his confidence. "Don't bet yol I
money on him boys 'says Richmond,

campaign tour years ago, in which
Seymour was defeated and ran large

Letters to the New York Tribune.

Letters to the New York Tribune.
MR. EDrroR:-The magnaninity
OF the Copperheads is well illustrated
in the constant appeals through their |
journals to the North to forget thel
little eccentricities of their friends,
the Rebels, during the war; the
butcheries of Forrest, the horrors OF
Andersonville and Belle Isle, the
atrocious villainies OF DR.. Blackburn,
and the deeds of the pirate Semmes /;
while they are continually harping
upon the mistakes Of our Genera in
the field, the lncapacity Of our states
men In council, and even strive to
prove that Gen. Grant is NO soldier.
Let them desist from traducing the
best men in the country if they wish
us to forget The greatest villains.

Mr.. EDIfoRs:-In reference to MIR.
Seymour's $1,000 commissions, am
inclined to relate little experience.
was an officer In the 146th Regi-
ment N. Y. V. from September, 1862,
till the surrender at Appomattox,
and hence know whereof / affirm
Our officers united in working hard
for the good of the regiment, and
succeeded in making it as good as the
best. The battle Of May 5, 1864,
deprived US of all our "feld officers, -
and reduced the regiment to mere
skeleton. Only three of its original
Captains were left, and they were
good men and true, well deserving
every promotion that could be given
them. AS reward for their faith
fulness, Gov. Seymour commissioned
as Colonel COmmissary- Captain
who had never seen the regiment,
and who had been sleeping in the
rear while we were fighting the ene-
lmy. By way of compliment to the
faithful sergeants who richly deserv,
ed promotion, he at the same sent
commissions to men who had been
pronounced too stupid to carry o
musket, and accordingly were desig.
mated to do the dirty work of camp
and also to one man who was not only
worthless, but who had been dis
graced in the guard-house for nearly
halfa year. All this done was simply
because they were good Democrats.
am happy to state that he was
obliged to take such or none, as
Democrats were scarce. Thanks to
Gov. Fenton, this scandalous work
was revoked, and those who did the
fighting had the honor. Mr.. Sey.
mOur will hear from the soldiers in
November. They are yet able to
distinguish a Rebel from a patriot
even il the former be Mr.. Seymour

The "nigger" is fast becoming q
good fellow with Democrats. For
instance, the following from Mobile
{ Ala Register:
"The colored men of Mississippi,
since the late election, are going
over en- naasse to the Democrats. In
a single county one thousand ofthem
have procured certificates of men,
bership of Democratic clubs, and
feel freer and prouder than they ever
did as the slaves of scalawag poor
white trash"

If we are not mistaken it was
Don Piatt who styled the the Demo.
cratic party "the organized ignorance

the following truth: "The Demo

round-round and round--perfectly
Indifferent whether he grinds tan,
bark or brine stone SO he gets his

Seymour has a policy. 1t is to
undo the acts of Congress, give reb.
ell rule in the South, make the North
politically bound to the old doctrine
of caste and class, dissolve Congress
at the point of the bayonet, and es,
tablish an aristocratic government.
On the financial question he has no
policy.
