The following important correspondence
will be published in the Louisville Courier
tomorrow morning
Sr. LocIs, July IL, 1868.
Maj. Gen. IIancock
Dear Sir-I deem it proper to direct your
attention to statements made by the radical
press to the effect that you are greatly dis.
satisfied with the results Of the national
democratic convention. The object of
these statements is to create an impression
that you do not acquiesce in the Judgment
Of the convention, and that your friends do
not, and, in consequence, Seymour and
Blair will not have their cordial support.
| wish you to know, general, that have ia
ken the liberty to pronounce these state
ments false, and to assure those who have
spoken with me on the subject, that nothing
could cause any more regret than to find
your friends, or any Of them, less earnest in
supporting the ticket which has been nomi.
mated, than thoy would have been had your
own name stood in the place of Seymours.
] am, sir, very sincerely your friend,

Gen. sinRleton's Nomination.

The nomination Of Gen. Singleton as the
democratic candidate for congress in this
district meets with universal appreciation
BY men Of all parties, be is believed to be
the man for the crisis. He was the only
man in the country who had the confidence
of President Lincoln and jeff. Davis, and
the only man that Mr.. Lincoln would trust
to 60 to Richmond upon a peace mission.
President Lincoln wouldn't trust Grant nor
Sherman, nor any other officer of the army,
to visit Richmond for any such purpose
There was not radical in the country that
he would have trusted on that mission. He
selected Gen. Singleton for that mission be.
cause he had known him for more than thir.
ty years, intimately and well, and knew that
he was Trustworthy in all the relations of
life, whether as neighbor, private citi.
zen, or o statesman. II would probably not
be believed by some folks, if we should state
the fact that Mr.. Lincoln said to the leaders
Of the rebellion, that if they would lay
down their arms, cease resistance to the
federal authorities, elect their senators and
representatives to congress, they might re-
sumo their places in the Union, with or
without slavery. Yet, Mr.. Lincoln did this,
and more. All this, however, will be the
subject Of future development, and the truth
Of these statements will be established by
record that no one will question: Quincy

Governor Seymour on the Rights of Natural
lied Citizens.

UTICA, FEB, 8, 1868.
GENTLEMEN: am too i'll to 20 10 Alba
ny to attend the meeting at Tweedle Hal
to morrow evening. There can be but one
view Of the duty of the government with re.
gard to our naturslized citizens. We invite
foreigners TO come here, we urge them 70 be.
come citizens. We charge them with oil the
duties and burdens we put upon those born
in our land. Many millions have acted up.
on this invitation, und .hey make up large
part Of our social and political system. The
necessity Of protecting these citizens is so
clear that no nation which is not hostile to
us in spirit and iu purpose will fail TO con
cede it. When we ask European govern.
ments to give up a relic of dead feudal
system, we do not ssk them to make any
sacrifice it is useless to them and hurttul
and annoying 70 US. II is for their interest
to give up claim to property in men living
in other lands. We know that naturalized
citizens cherish an affection for their native
land. 1t is great gain politically, socially
and commercially to England. Ireland Ger.
many and other European nations, that
many living in the United States, who were
born in Europe, cherish love for the land
oftheir birth, as well as for the home ftheir
adoption. Why should this love be turned
into hate by an impotent yet hateful claim
upon them? The interests of commerce
and of civilization, Us we'll Os the duty of the
country, are SO clear that n refusal on the
part Of any government to admit the rights
Of naturalized citizens, should be treated AS
an act Of hostility and hatred, and should be
met by refusal on our part to make with
th0m any commercial alliance or, if necess
airy, to refuse to hold with them any politi
cal intercourse. This question must be met
boldly, or We shall in the end get entangled
with political knots, which can only be cut
by the sword. Truly yours, &c,

Seven thousand workingmon of Chicago,
with their wives, their children, or their
sweethearts, attended quiet pic nc, in a
grove, last Sunday, under the auspices and
management Of the democratic party. A
radical newspaper in Chicago, which holds
that labor ought to be taxed to death to
pay bond spectators twice the amount it
was agreed to pay them, - dcnounces the
workingmen who attended as drunken,
goddess, misunderstanding wretches," &c.

The Whig says the democrats will hardly
ask or expect the soldiers TO vote for Gen.
Singleton. The Whiq will find itself sadly
mistaken, if it supposes the soldiers will not
vote for Gen. Singleton. The president of
the convention that nominated Gen. Single.
ton was a gallant and distinguished soldier
during the war. Several Of the vice presi
dents and secretaries, and lsrga number Of
the delegates Of the convention were also in
the Union army and did good service. We
know also of radical soldiers who will vote
for Singleton. While he was opposed to the
war, they have good reason to know that he
was rot opposed to the soldiers. Gen. Sin.
gLeion contributed more frequently, more lib
eraIIy' and more cheerfully from his private
resources for the relief of sick and disabled
soldiers and the support of the widows and
orphans OF deceased soldiers, than any other
man OF any party in the state. His contri.

Our celebrated Patent Heaters for Anthracite

have as brilliant and cheerful appearance as an
open CRATE fire, and are decidedly moro econo-

heating capacity ofany fireplace. Stoves IN use us,
heating from two to four and five rooms with
one fire. Considerable expense has been incur
red recently in getting out our new patterns,
and it is pronounced BY all that for beauty OF
finish and tasteful ornamentaLion and construc-
ton, our new Stoves are unequallcd, and they
are the most powerful and pleasant of heaters.
Fire may be kept up in them for months by ad-
ding coal every twelve hours.
