Indeed, your New York leaders would not on
any account see Seymour elected. They are after
the State and local spoils, and would not desire
the election Of any Democratic President unless
they could use him as they pleased. You have
some twenty-five millions Of local taxation here,
and the handling of that and the State patronage
Is worth more to your Democratic leaders than
all the Federal patronage they could secure.
Reporter You think, then, that Seymour
has no chance Of an election?
General Butler-Oh. not the slightest and
it is very well for him that he has not If it were
possible that he could be elected he would not be
ninety days in Office The knife, the buttet. or
poison would remove him and make room for
Blair. Assassination has been introduced bv the
rebels into our political system, and they will
never hesitate now to avail themselves Of it when
their interests are at stake. Their experiment
in that line has been too great a success. With
them the ties Of blood, affection or loyalty will
no longer avail 10 prevent the friends Of the Sc
c0nd in power from removing the first out Of the
way when the opportunity offers. Nothing but
interest Will stay the assassin's hand. I should
have fallen a victim in New Orleans but for one
thing-if they had murdered me they would
have had Phelps over them, and that would have
been jumping out Of the fryingpan into the FIRE.
You may rest assured that if had been elected
Nicc-President in 1851, in place Of Andrew
johnson, Abraham Lincoln would have been a
living man to-day.

Vermont stock at a Discount.

In looking over the award Of premiums at the

Stanstead, in the Province Of Quebec, carried

honor. We don't understand it. We supposed
that the Vermont State Fair was for Vermont

suppose he did not wish 10 take it to COM
pete against the world. Nine Of the twelve pre-
miums awarded TO Mr.. Pierce on cattle were st
premiums, and his bull Monitor got the most
honorable mention but is denied premium on
the ground that he was awarded the premium for
last year. And the committee on horses take
great pleasure - in awarding the lst premium
on blood horses-which was $50 70 his Canwell

denied JEFF Davis the privilege Of associating with
his herd If so, then S2l9 was well bestowed /;

but good part of his farm is in Vermont. He

Gen Butler-Oh, Grant and Colfax are GER

that They will carry all the States that Lincoln
carried in 1864, except perhaps New York, and
the Democratic nominations were made with a
view to Just such result. know your New

the whole trick of Seymour's nomination as de-
signed simply to secure the State Of New York.
That is more important to them than the Presi-
dency, and they would rather see Seymour
beaten than not, provided that his name aids
them to win the election in this State. They
