The Coward Traducer.

The midnight assassin, who stealthily
breaks in upon the sanctities of tho private
home Of family, and thrusts his, .stiletto
into the heart Of slumbering innocence, is
no greater villain than he who assaults his
neighbor's good name-invades the hallow-
ed courts Of the Anlple of his well deserved
and hard earned fame-breathes blight and
mildew upon his spotless reputation-and
leaves in his tortuous track, the slime and
venom of the basilisk.
The sentiment has been most truthfully
and graphically enunciated, that he who
can choke the sweetest flowers of social love,
and taint them with disease-and in the
paradise of earthly bliss, where the plants
of virtue flourish, spread the malaria Of
moral dcsolation-the poison of hatred and
distrust-who gladly would were it possible,
crush his neighbors character to dust-grind
to powder every vestage of his public honor
and private value, and build upon the ruins
who can write infamy upon the brow
others to prove his own purity-is neither
man nor beast, but heartles demon.
Those who have seen their dearest inter.
ests tampered with, who have known what
it is to have tn priceless gem of good nane
sullied by the pestilential breath of cold un-
plying SANDER, there best can say, the CAL
uminator has no heart, no conscience, no
soul If the lightnings fash ever darts from
heaven to strike the guilty down, it will
blast the hopes Of murderers such as these
But bad as is the vile defamer of the liv.
ing, yet far worse, is he who exhumes from
the peaceful shadows Of death, the depart
ed victim of his envy, to hold him up to the
gaze of the world, as a target at which to
hurl the pestiferous shaft Of his malignant
hate.
In such monster there is to be found no
trace Of the immage Of God but in room Of
this, is seen ever appalling and disgusting
lineament of the arch.6endof perditon.-

but made redoubled efforts to get out into

cage so that the whelp extricated his foot.
The mother, her suspense relieved with the
release Of tho whelp, ceased her yells, and
again commenced licking the wounded foot.
The other lions seemed not entirely satiied,
and rather to enjoy the confusion they were
creating. Reaching through the ventilator
the tanner struck one of them as heavy n
blow as he could with short IRON bar,
which seemed to send some reason into his
head; and when the order came for him to
move, he and his companion went into their
own apartment, ceasing their howls, but
keeping up a low, indignant growing, like
dogs. Observing this, the men came for
ward and raised the wagon to its place,
fastening up the cage where it was broken,
and the horses being attached, the team
drove on.
While this was being done it seemed as
if the band team would more than fill the
bill which the lion family had attempted
Although the sound Of the lions voices could
no longer be heard, its effects was felt on
the camels. Their keeper had detached
them from the carriage, and had succeeded
in getting them a few rods away. They. now
made no effort to escape, but lay down pant
ing through fear, and apparently oblivious
to everything around them. The monster
elephant, also detached seemed to be in
quandry as to what he should. do. He
slashed his trunk against his side with dull
but loud "thud, and then raising it in the
air blew blasts upon it, before which all the
trumpets of the band were ::as nothing
Just then had his elephantship knew his
strength there is no doubt he would have
made it felt. But by soothing and coaxing
he was at length quieted, and again attached
to the wagon. The camels were aroused at
length by kicks and blows, and tn C strange
animals moved on, trembling in every joint.

Republican paper in the State, commeuds

HORATIO SEYMOUR.

HoRATlo SEYMOUR.
Horatio Seymour, the Democratic caudi-
date for President of the United States, was
born in Pompey, Onondaga county, New
York, in the year 1911 and is consequently
81 years of ago The family to which Mr..
Seymour belongs is descended from Richard
Seymour, who was one of tho original set
tiers of Hartford, Conn. Major Moses Sey-
mour, the fourth lincal descendant, served
in the Revolutionary War, and subsequently
represented Litchfield in the Legislature of
Connecticut for seventeen years. Of his
five sons, Henry Seymour, father of Horatio,
was born in 1880. He removed to Utica,
in this State served in the State lIegisla-
ture with signal ability, and was Cor many
years Canal Commissioner, occupying a
prominent position in the politics and lcgis-
lation of tho State. One Of his brothers
was distinguished member Of the United
States Senate from Vermont for twelve
years. Hon. Origen S. Seymour, for some
time Representative in Congress from the
itchfeld District, Of Connecticut, was the
son of another brother named Ozias. The
maternal grandfather Of Mr. Seymour, Col
onel Forman, served through the Revolu-
tionary War in the New Jersey line.
Mr.. Seymour received liberal and thor
ough education in the best institutions Of the
State. His instincts and preferences natur.
ally led him to the study of tho law, which
he pursued with great vigor and industry.
He was admitted to the bar when only
little more than twenty years of age, and at
once commenced The practice of his profes
sion in the city of Utica. The death Of his
father, however, soon afterwards devolved
upon him SO great responsibilities in conncc-
ton with the settlement of the family estate,
as to require the most Of his time and atten.
ton, obliging him, much against his wish,
to relinquish the practice Of his profession.
The death Of his wife father, the late John
II. Bleecker, occurring about the same time,
added to his numerous cares in the adjust
mcnt ofimportant property interests. Some
Of the best years of Mr.. Seymours life
we're absorbed in this work, but no doubt his
mind was being schooled, as it could not
otherwise have been, for the sravcr respon.
sibilities and duties that were to come in
after life. Up to this time Mr.. Seymour
had acted no prominent part in political life,
although from his youth, as we're his ances.
tors before him, he had always been strongly
attached, through sympathy and taste, to
the Democratic party. In the fall Of ls4l,
when not thirty years Of age, Mr.. Seymour
consented to tho use Of his name as Dem.
ocratic candidate for Member Of Assembly.
Although the Wings were at that time
largely in the ascendancy in Utica, Mr.. sey.
uour was triumphantly elected by large
majority. In the Legislature Mr.. Seymour
at once took commanding position upon

ber near the house to drive home the cows.
She had passed out of sight of the house
but short distance when the negro made
his appearance, and committed the foul
deed of ravishing her after which he drew

cecded to cut the child's throat. He sue

care of tho beasts of the forest. He left

brother of the ruined child, came across
him in Marion county, near the residence Of
Mr.. Randolph. The brave boy, drawing

succeeded in arriving, and placed his pris-

Our fathers made government,
And fixed it up all right;
The people then were all content,
Their taxes were so light;
The Democrats then had the rule,
The laws they made were just
They also had another rule
In God we put our trust.
CHoRus-Then our taxes
Were so very light.
We always had the cash on hand
70 pay them off at sight.
While Democratic men did rule
Our income was SO great,
We had "surplus revenue "
10 give to every State;
The people then were rich and gay,
With plenty were content,
And every patriot did pray,
God bless the government.
THo.--1hen our taxes, &c.
Now Radicals have made debt
More than we can figure,
And they will make it bigger yet
In Bureaus for the niger;
For now one half of all we make
With plow, or spade, or axes,
The government is sure to take
In the way Of taxes.
CHo.-Now, high taxes
Are daily growing bigger;
We pay q million every week
10 feed the idle Niger
Rut working men of every class
Have now made up their mind
To give the Radicals pass,
And loavc them all behind
1t will be doue now, you may bet
The buttons on your coats;
Then VIC will pay the nation debt
With legal.tcnder notes.

To nav them off at sight.
