HoRATIo SEYMOUR is still in the speech max
ing line. Yesterday he discoursed to large
assemblage at Saratoga on agricultural topics,
ignoring politics, and paying special attention
to the watermelon prospects, which Horatio,
as in his famous watermelon epistle, regards as
unusually brilliant. After the watermelon
speech serenade was rendered the standard
bearer of the Democracy, and he again re-
sponded, this time very briefly, and without
any reference, near or remote, to either the
watermelon or Presidential prospect. Horatio
was also inclined to be tacetious and while in
this amiable mood he introduced to the audi
ence General Gordon Granger, in these
words
1--WE have with us to. night o gallant soldier
who has done much TO sustain the character OF
New York upon the battle field"
What covert sarcasm is herein implied
upon his own course during the Rebellion
General Gordon Granger did do the State of
New York and the country some service on
the field of battle. But what contrast is
presented by his record, and that of the leader
under whom he has now arrayed himself
Rosecrans, Hancock, McClernand, Granger,
Custer, and Franklin-this is the Democratic
roll of "White" Boys in Blue, and in close
company with them are found Lee, and Beau
regard, and Hampton, and Forrest, and almost
every man of high or low repute who wore
shalled under Horatos banner, and are all
equally Representative in their reverence and
regard for the Union ~ a@4

GENERAL GRANTS letter of acceptance con-
tains this significant promise:-"If elected to
the Office of President of the United States, it
will be my endeavor to administer all the
laws in good faith, with economy, and with
the view of giving peace, quiet, and protection
everywhere" This clear declaration, coming
from man who uses but few words, but who
knows exactly what they mean, and who
faithfully fulils his pledges, gives to the
country every assurance that patriotic men
can desire that the affairs of the nation will be
administered, under the coming President,
with an eye single to the welfare of the whole
people. Grants comprehensive promise is
worth a thousand times more than the vaunted
craftsmanship of the Democratic candidates.
Horatio Seymour, before his nomination, was
publicly committed to doctrines dismetrically
opposed to those promulgated by his party,
and he sacrificed his principles to his ambi-
ton in accepting the Tammany nomination
and indorsing the Tammany platform. His
readiness to abandon his acknowledged con-
victions at the behests of his party having
thus been exposed, the people are warned at
the outset that he will continue to obey in the
future, as he has in the past, the commands OF
the leaders of his organization, his boasted
craftsmanship serving no other end than to
frame excuses for new betrayals of the real
interests of the American people. His triumph
would be the signal for revival Of all the
worst passions engendered by the Rebellion,
and the people would be compelled to witness
reversal of all the verdicts won by the hard
earned victories of the war. Animated by the
same spirit which prompted James Buchanan
to say, 81 am no longer James Buchanan, but
the Democratic PLATFORM" Horatio Seymour,
if elected, would become like his last Demo-
cratic prototype, the servant of the Southern
conspirators, and under their guidance there
could neither be economy, peace, quiet, nor
protection for the loyal citizens of the United
States.

TO have statesman and not q soldier for
leader"
1t thus appears that the ancient Roman
custom Of referring grave affairs to the de-
cision Of augurs, who were influenced in their
judgment by the fight of birds, and equally
pertinent circumstances, prevails in modified
form among the Democracy of the present day.
Whether the mysterious destruction Of the
sword of the armed figure in Tammany Hall
was rightly interpreted remains extremely
doubtful. If a great moral and political lesson
was to be taught by circumstance that was
probably purely accidental. Some augurs might
have inferred that the destruction Of the
sword of Tammany meant that it had lost
power forever, and that the members OF the
Convention had better go home without
making any nomination at all in opposition to
the irresistible Grant. The Seymour augurs,
however, in imitation of some of their ancient
prototypes improved the occasion by false
interpretation laVOraDlo 10 tnelr ueSlBn OF
slaughtering the soldier aspirant for Demo-
cratic honors.
When the American people adopt the con-
olusion that ''the country is henceforth to
have statesman, and not soldier, for
leader" they will want some better ground
for this decision than the mutilation Of the
brittle wares of Tammany Hall. The best
soldiers of this country, Washington and
Jackson, proved superior statesmen and the
best of Presidents. The qualities that ensured
their triumph at the head of their countrymen
in the field, ensured wise and successful action
in the Executive Mansion. WELDING un-
bounded influence over the people, it was
never prostituted to bad ends, but uniformly
exercised for the attainment of benefcent and
patriotic objects. Above all, peace was main
tained, for foreign foes and domestic traitors
consider well before they arouse the anger Of
nation headed by a famous military chief
tain.

LETTERS from gentlemen and ladies who are
In the South continue to depict most fearful
state Of disorganization. From one whom we
know to be reliable we hear that as soon as
Northern man arrives in Mississippi, he is
called the most opprobrious epithets by the
gang ofrufians who loiter around the railroad
stations, and if he escapes with his life he may
be thankful. Like the palmy days OF Kansas
outrages, they beat every new settler If he is q
free-trade man, and if he declares himself a
slavery man, they beat him the more for tell
ing them falsehood. To steer between the
two is impossible. Anarchy reigns in many
portions. The dreadful case Of tarring a wo-
man, which was published yesterday, is the
best commentary on the uncivilzed condition
of that region. What contrast is presented
from what could have been secured had but
reason and Christianity been allowed to gov
ern the action of the Southern people. In
stead of business stagnation and social revolu-
tion, they would have had that vast influx OF
Northern capital which was ready to at once
hasten to them the moment that the war
was ended in spirit as well as in the body.
Railroads would have developed resources as
yet undreamt of. Enterprise would have
marked every State, and the entire country
been on the high road to renovation of the
past. Instead of that we see to-day spirit of
rebellion rampant. No capital darss to enter
the region cursed by such source of villainy.
The South is the strong man dead to all rsa-
son through his insane passion for riotous
living. The spectacle is sad one, and makes
pertinent the question, what shall we do to
arouse him 1t requires some decided blow,
and that blow must be given by the election
of Grant and Colfax by a majority which will
make further delusion impossible.
