Gov. SEYMoUR's REC0RD.-The soldiers of
the State of N. Y. of Democratic sentiment,
before the war, can be trusted to discharge
their duty toward Horatio Seymour, but many
outside that State who are loyal are made to
believe that Seymour was true to the Union
during the war-not knowing to the contrary
are disposed to give him their support in the
pending canvass, when if they knew him would
spurn him in disgust.
For the use and benefit of those who are
thus deceived we give few facts:
In the Spring of 1868, Gov Seymour vetoed
the Soldiers Suffrage Bill" and that too
when the Constitution of that State clearly
granted the soldier the right to vote when alb

United States.
This was doing the soldier Democratic JUS

was the ally. Of rebellion, and rendered all the
support it dared to. To show what the rebel,
expected of them read an extract from the
Richmond Inquirer, before the riot occurred
but in expectation of it. We quote:
'The Democratic party is of the utmost i'm
pOrtance to aid us in stimulating diSdG GectiOi

i The expectations of the Richmond Inquire
culmiuated in the terrible riots of July 18th

was we'll grounded.

it was their intention not to bring it out again.

pluck, if nothing else. 1t is hinted around

FRANK BLAIR's AssERTION.-In a recent
speech made by Frank Blair, in Missouri, he
was reported by the telegraph as saying that
if Gen. Grant was elected she would never
leave the Presidential mansion alive" There
upon the New York Tribune was moved to in
quire whether assassination of obnoxious Pres
idents had now become an acknowledged plank
of the Democratic platform. Its inquiry caus-
ed another version of Blair speech to be given
to it. 1t says
One report represents Gen. Blair as saying
1T becomes mere appendage of the military
chleftaln who is lifted to power in the name OF
the President, but ,oho neUer ,cM ledve the Pres
identiat nldnStOh dtire" The other varies the
expression to this ''But who will never leave
the Presidential mansion as long as he lives
This last is from the report published in thu
Democratic paper, after revision by the Gene
raj or some of his friends the other is iron
the Photographic report published in the Re
publican paper. Plainly, if Gen. Blair dit
mean to hint at assassination, he had the grac
to be ashamed of it before the hot words hard
ened into print. We are glad to give him tn

STATE BONDS Us. NATIONAL BONDS. Hon.
N. B. Smithers, in his able speech in this
town on Saturday night, when he was listened
to by large audience (all the Democrats listen
to Nat. } in referring to the national debt he
contrasted the Government bonds with the
State bonds. The State issued bonds to the
amount of one million one hundred thousand
dollars Isl, lO0, ,OOO) to keep from filling up the
army. These bonds, shortly after they were
issued were offered for sale in Wilmington,
but not purchaser came forward to take
them-not even a Democrat they
were not exempted from taxation and contain
cd no dividend warrants. In order to get them
taken the State Treasurer, upon his own res
possibility, assured those desiring to invest
that they would be exempt from tax, and the
Legislature had to make the Treasurer's dec
laration good and other bonds, with coupons
attached, had to De printed before the Demo
ocrats would take them at ALL And now they
are selling considerably below par, while the
Government bonds are selling considerably
above par, Notwithstanding the interest upon
them is taxed as income by the Government.
These State bonds are held almost entirely
by Democrats, who would be horror-stricker
at the idea of the State breaking its faith by
taxing them, and to talk Of repudiating then
would cause general disaster. Let our Cop
perhead friends put this State bond question
in their pipes and smoke it when they are
talking so glibly about reputation and taxa
ton.
The refusal of the p W. & R. r. Co. II
longer pay the ten cent tax on each passenge
carried into, out of, or across the State (whicl
went to pay the interest on these bonds) ha
caused considerable uneasiness among tn
holders, and they are being disposed of as rap
idly as possible, at large discount, notwith
standing the pledge fthe State.
