GRANT AND sEYMoUR.
A Conservative Quarterly Declares
for the Former.

-r - -
The National Quarterly Review, for
September New York: E. 1. Sears), is,
as usual, late in making its appearance,
but none the less interesting on that ac-
count $50 ,o~o.
The paper on the Presidential candi-
dates is particularly noticeable for. its
advocacy of Grant, since the National
has hitherto been conservative in its
leanihgs We make the following ex-
tract: lo7 s.li
It is almost needless for us to say
that it is not on political grounds we
would choose General Grant for the
Presidential chair and reject Mr.. .Sey-
movr; we Judge each not bv his party
but by himself We are in faver Of the
election of Grant not because he is a
Republican or a Radical, but because
he has merited the gratitude Of his
country; and we are opposed to the
election of SeymOury not because he is
a Democrat, but because he has merited
nothing good. from his country. Indeed,
we do not regard Grant as politician
at all; he is too honest and straightfor-
ward to be one; whereas Seymour is
nothing but 9 politician. This is no
mere matter of conjecture or inference.
Both the candidates are tried men in a
certain sense; one commanded our ar
mics at the hour of the nations greatest
peril; the other was the Governor Of the
State of New York at the same hour.
Now which performed his duties best
Which proved the most faithful public
servant! I! Which contributed most to
Tindicate the prestige Of the American
people as capable of defending, as well
as governing themselves as nation
In word, did not Grant do all the good
which it was possible for any one to do
in his POSITIONS What more could have
been done by Washington himself, could
he have lived, to save the life of the
Republic of which be was founders 2
Nor could the Father of his country
have treated the conquered, brave
enemy, with more generosity. What,
upon the other hand, did Seymour do
as Govornor9 Could he have contri-
buted less toward the salvation of the
nation without a hagrant violation of
his oath, if, indeed, he could have done
so without rendering himself liable to
be put on trial as a traitorl We do not
agree with those who accuse Mr.. Sey-
mour of having symphathized with the
rebels to the extent of wishing that they
would succeed in dismembering the
Republic. We believe that at heart he
was in favor Of maintaining the Union
but he had not the manliness to speak
and act accordingly. The duplicity and
chicanery of the politician clung to him
all along. He always took into account
the influence he might one day be able
to exercise in the South by quasi
sympathy with the rebels; and it was
precisely in the same spirit that be adj
dressed the insurgent mob of New York
as his friends The truth is, that he
was a worse enemy to both than those
who openly shot them down, because
he deceived both, and encouraged them
to bring ruin upon themselves,

excursion among the islands, and on a rec

four hours catching l59 black bass, not one
of which weighed less than two ponnds
and from that weighs up to FIVE and three.
quarter pounds. Not a fish was caught
other than black bass. The tackle used was
what is called dipsey and the fishing was
still fishing. That is, not trolling. Mr..
Cooke three times caught three bass at each
haul-nine at three hauls, Captain Faunce
twice caught two at each haul, and so did
Mr.. SpaDgler. The largest fish, caught by
Captain Faunce, weighed FIVE and three
quarter pounds, and two each weighed five
aud a-half pounds. At one of Mr.. Spang-
ler's double catches he brought into the boat
7 pounds of fish If that kind of fishing
does not produce raid upon the black bass

THE PENNSYEVANIANS HAVE
"PUSHFED THINGS."
SEYMOUR& BLAIR NOWHERE.

Considering what the Democrats expected
of Pennsylvania, and the effort which they
made, by all fair and foul measures, to carry
it, the grand old Keystone State has done
the best of all the States, voting in The Octo-
Der election. She has given 4aIRrEEN
THOUSAND Republican majority, elected six
teen out Of twenty -four Congressman, or
two-thirds of the delegation, chosen a
strongly Republican legislature, and thus
made certain the election Of a Republican
United States Senator 10 place or Buckalew,

An Important Accession TO Gen.
Grant-Judge Edwards Pier
rePOnt Deserts the DemOcs

The following correspondence will be
read with universal interest:
1OS FIFTH ANENUE, New YORK, !
Saturday, Oct 10, 1868.
To Alex. 7. Stewart Esq, Chairman
ofthe Grant COMMITTEES, &c,
Ny DEAR SIR-When Frank P.
Blair, who had no claims whatever on
the Democratic party, was nominated
in Tammany Hall, with such shouts Of
applause, just after proclaiming that
" We must haze a President Uko w;ll
trauple IN the dust" the laws of Congress,
and when four rebel Generals made the
chief ratification speeches in New York,
my attention, as War Democrat, was
arrested by this remarkable exhibition.
Since then l have carefully noted the
expressions of Southern journals, and
the speeches of Southern politicians,
from Wade HamptoB, on his Feturn to
Charleston, to the recent manifesto OF
B. H. Hill, and l find that every lead
ing rebel in the Oonfederacy regards
the expected election of Seymour and
Blair as 9 complete vindication of the
rebellion, and as certain to restore the
South to every right which she had be-
fore the war, including the 'trampling
into the dust" by military feet the proc
lamation of freedom and the Fourteenth
amendment to the Constitution.
I cannot conceive how any intelligent
man who does not wish the rebels re-
turned to power, the nations faith viola
ted, its debts repudiated, its name dis
honored, its prosperity destroyed, its
pstriots insulted, aud the "LoSt Cause"
restored, can vote against Grant,
In my judgment the election Of Sey-
mour and Blair would forthwith con
use and paralyze our business, and re-
duee the value of our property one
half.
To aid in in averting this calamity, 1
send you herewith twenty thousand
dollars $50, 0,0OO) which 1 give to be
used in the election of General Grant,
in such manner as you and the Com
mittee with whom you act may think
best.
And | remain yours ever truly,

The sun Of Tuesday; October Isth,
went down on the most fiercely contest
ed elections il Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Indiana that have ever been known in
those States; sndotbe,Republicaus have
achieved glorious victory in teseh.
The great commonwealth Of Pennsyl
s,uia, in the largest vote ever poiled in
the Stale, has given, Republican ma-
jority Of not lesssthan $4,000. ssoa
Ohio rolls up Republican majority
Of2O,OoO. '
Indiana has given 9 Republican ma
jority, through somewhat reduced from
the figures ofds6s. a5The Legislature
is Republican, which secures the eleeg-'
ton Of Republican Senator in place

Nebraska the youngestsOft che States,
gives a Republican majority Of 2,o0o,a
against I45 at her last election. This

The grand total of these elections
may be summed upaaq follows: Grant

Lincoln carried in 1854, and win proba-
bly, add New Jersey. and Delaware to
the Republican column. Ghe Demo

THE APPLE TnADE.-of this trade

THE APPLE TRADE.-Of this trade in
Bncyrus the Journal says:
Owing to failure of the apple crop in
the East, new and lucrative trade in the
packing and shipment of apples has arisen
here.
At present the average shipment of ap-
pies from Bucyrus is rather over than under
four and a-half car loads a day-eaoh car
load being one hundred apd fifty barrels,
and each barrel containing two and a-haIf
bushels. The daily purchase of apples
here may be set down at 1850 bushels
This, at fifty cents a hushel produces
quite a snug little sum for our farmers, as
sisting them to relieve many pressure, and
escape from many unPleasantly tight places
