DOTS FOR DEMOCRATS.

Since the operations of the Vigilance
Committee in Seymour Indiana, they call
lynching "Seymouring,' out West. This
is doubly hard on Horatio, as he of course
loses vote in each case of "Seymouring.
The grounds of David Dudley Fields
country residence, at Stockbridge, Maine,
are graded and artistically laid out by a
force Of fifty men from New York, under
the supervision Of skilled engineer. st.

Neatly says the Philadelphia Press:
General Grant is travelling with Gen
erals Sherman and Sheridan: General Blair
with General Despair; Mr.. Colfax with
General Satisfaction; while Mr.. Seymour
stays at home with General G.oem.p
We are glad to learn, as We do from our
Democratic exchanges, that "the Demo-
Gratis of Maine have opened the campaign
with will" 1t shows a becoming resig-
nation to their fate. 1t is a good plan too
to make will, though we are little Gu
rious to know what upon earth they have
to devlse.--Hdrford Post.
The Springfield Republican states the
case strongly thus "The damnation of
Governor Seymour's speech is not that he
called the mob his friends, but that they
were so and knew it. That speech is not to
be interpreted by doubtful canons of crit
icism, but in the light of the speakers
character, and Of his conduct before and
after"
The day before Seymour and Blair were
nominated, gold sold for 81 40 1t sold
last week for 81 80. The higher gold goes
the worse it is for every man but the spec
ulator. If the nomination of Seymour and
Blair sent gold up ten per cent, their elec-
ton would send it fifty per cent higher Is
the country prepared to see such a state of
things We think not.
Wade Hampton and his ex,rebel COM
rades in their wild crusade for the over
throw of the reconstruction laws, seem TO
have forgotten the following words inserted
by General Grant in the parole of the rebel
officers on the surrender OF Lee: "The above
named officers will not be disturbed by the
United States authorities So long as they
observe their parole and the laws in force
where they reside"
If the turbulent and revolutionary ele-
ment in our own Southern States, which as.
sumo to lead the Democratic party in the
| impending Presidential contest, are moi
utterly crushed out by the people in
| November, our old-time orderly acuuies
cence in the results of national election
must ere long give way for the introduction
Of the system that prevails in Mexico and
| Central and'SOuth America
Governor Seymour not only never owned
| a government bond, but, acting as one o
the trustees Of a savings bank in Utica
which bank invested some of its funds il
Government bonds, Seymour, at meeting
of the trustees, made a motion directing
the treasurer to sell all the Government
bonds as not being safe Investment. The
motion did not prevail, because the major
ity Of the trustees were sensible, Loyal
men.
The landlord Of hotel in New Rochelle
| New York, has nailed to the front of his
building large plaeard containing pic
lures of the Tammany candidates, and the
inscription, Seymour and Blair. Demo.
Gratis arouse !" A gentleman riding by a
few mornings ago, was struck with the lu.
dicrousness and decided propriety Of the
| exhortation to Democrats to "arouse," as
directly under it were two of the "unterri
fed" dead drunk.

Atlanta papers publish a letter from

which he says: "It is out OF my power tl

duty is to take care of my health. 1t Is
very well known to the reading public that

nothing has transpired with me 10 diminish
my confidence in them, or lessen my desire
for their success"
The Providence Press well says:

zens Of the earlier settled States have been
migrating Westward. till State after State

note that when Democrats are denouncine
ca petbaggers, a shot is aimed at every
man who comes from foreign land. Such
proceeding may be according to rebel
Democracy, but not according to Jefer-
sonian. rea
The LosF CAUSE STILL LIvEs.-The true
friends of the Union need only to read the
speeches OF the old leaders in the rebellion,
and the editorials Of the braggarts who
fred the Southern heart, TO be satisfied that
the spirit Of treason is still alive at the
South. II is evident that these people have
learned but little from the horrors Of our
terrible civil war They seem unwilling
to accept the situation, and express de-
termination to renew the old ight. The
nomination OF Seymour and Blair has slim
ulsted them to utter language of such
reasonable character that will arouse the
loyal people Of the North as one man
against then. They must take the conse-
queacss Of their ewn folly--AsD York
