What Governor Curtin Thought of Gov
ernor Seymour in 1888.

AS the Radicals have been laboring so
industriously to provide that Governor
Seymour is not loyal man, and that du-
ring the war he arrayed himself in oPpo-
sition to the cause of the Union, we pre-
sent the following incident for their >pe-
cial consi.lcral ion at This time.
When Lee was numbering at the door
OF the capital OF Pennsylvania, AMI fear
and trepidalion possessed the souls of the
men who are now reviliag and slanierng
Governor Seymour, Andrew G. Curtin,
then Governor of Pennsylvania, visited
Camp Curtin. Harrisburg. This visit was
occasioned 6y the disincIinatlon of the
Pennsylvania volunteers to enlist, ex-
crpt for the expulsion of Lee from
Pennsylvania. Governor Curtin, in COM
pany with another gentleman, rode into
camp in an open barnuche. to see the Of
icers, and was stopped on his way by the
soldiers and called on for speech. Raising
in his carriage, bespoke substantially As
follows:
FELLow-CITIzENs OF THR VOLUNTEERS
OF PENNSYLVANIA: | came here to-day 10
see your officers, who ought TO be here to
make their complaint in form. have IA
right to expect the confidence of the volun
tecrs Of Pennsylvania, for have never
broken faith with them. | assure yol,
you will be retained just long enough to
repel the present invasion--sO lOng-no
longer, be it sixty days, or thirty, or ten.
But we cannot draw your pay unless yov
conform to the regulations of the army,
and enter your name in regular form.
Then turning in bis carriage and point
Ing TO the white tents of the New York
troops on the hill across the river, he ex-
claimed:
Look at the crownlng of yonder hill !!
There are the troops of our sister New
York, defending our frontier, where YOU
ought now to be, instead Of wranglIng here
about hoW you will -nlist. Great God !!
What are you doing Thrice" regiments
from, New York alrrddy on the ground,
and in front, mhite not regiment i" Penn
syiVanid IS yet reudy
Soon after Governor Curtin appeared
on the hill on the opposite side of che riv-
er, rode inside the fort, into the midst
Of the New York troops, who poured
out from their tents, and loudly called
on the Governor for a speech.
Again rising in his carriage, with his hat
in bis hand, he spoke as follows:
SOLDIERS OF New YORK: Pennsylva-
MIA had right to expect that her sister
New York would come to her aid, but she
did not have the right to expect that New
York troops wonld be here on our soil, oc
cupyiag the front Of her defense, before
her own troops were on the ground. From
the bottom of my heart, thank you for
this generous alacrily. Bear my thanks.
as 0eH as the thanks IF Pennsylvania, to
your patriotic Governor for the promptne$S
With Which, Mrough your presence, he has
replied to our need. On soTc future oc-
cssion,. | will in some more appropriate
and formal manner, make known to him
my grateful appreciation of his prompt ac-
tion in hurrying forward TO our aid this
noble band of soldierly men Again |
thank you
And with graceful bow and wave Of his
hat, the Governor resumed his seat in the
carriage.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 8. 1896.

"AShANdAON, ccts CS 1COO.
GESTLEAEN: shall be unable to &C
cept your invitation to attend the proposed
meeting on the 5th instant at Tammany
Hall to respond to the nominations Of the
National and State Conventions.
Ny best wishes, however, will be with
YOU, and with all who are associated with
you, in vindicating the Constitution and
maintaining the integrity of the Union
have never believed that State has the
right to withdraw from the Union, nor do
believe the Federal Government has
any authority to exclude or expcl State
from the Union. | am therefore no Sc =
eessionist-l am no, Radical, nor have /
any sympathies with the principles and
actions of either.
When the Republican party was or
ganized in 1856, to assert and maintain
popular sovereignty, or the right of the
people to form their own State constitu =
tion, decide for themselves, in regard to
their local government, without dictation
or interference from the central Govern
ment, or from border ruffians, / did not
hesitate to act with the organization.
Efforts had beer made to impose Con-
stitution upon the people of Kansas with
ont their consent and against their will
They resisted the efforts 10 invade their
rights, and they have my sympathy and
support in that resistance
But the Radical element Of the Repub-
lican party, which for the last three years
had control of that organization, unmind-
ful of the professions of regard for popular
rights and State rights, and of its avowed
opposition to Federal aggression, hiss been
engaged in greater outrages upon popular
rights and State rights, and in a more ar
bitrary and despotc exercise of Federal
power, than was ever attempted by "bor-
der rufians," or those who have abused
the authority of the General Government
at any former period.
A psrty so false to its professions, aud
10 the principles which led to its organiza-
tion, is not deserving of public confidence.
I shall rejoice in its defeat, and in the tri-
umph of those who are striving for res
toraiion of the Union and restoration of
the States to their legitimate constitutions
and constitutional rights.
Very respectfully, GrDEoE WELLEs.

PREvIoUs to the nomination of General
Grant, the New York Tribune thus spoke
of him as a man and a general
General Grant we esteem by no means a
great man, nor even a very great general
We want statesman; we want Mr.. Chef
Justice Chase. The Republican parry
contains no purer, no worthier, no more
gifted man. In what respect does Gen.
Grant surpass Mr. Chase "Is he better
Republican ? We ask Gen. Grant. No re-
ply. If we want, then, to talk about horses
and tobacco, we may find him the most
valuable of men. No one .oord upon the
question that backs the heart Of the country!
Take me. if you will, as Ulysses S.
Grant, General. and when | an President,
| shall do rs | please" Perhaps we must
take him, but we do not feel like cheering
over it; certainly not SO long as great
statesmen remain in our ranks. "Give us
Grant because we can elect him." Again
that cowardIy argument. Is there nothing
in this great party but Office hunger l.
the chief end Of man the postoffice and
revenue series /? Are you willing to fol-
low doubtful leader into an uncertain
battle for unknown principles
