The most powerful and crushing arraign-
ments of the republican party for its afro
cious treatment of the South have been
those of Governor Seymour. He will re-
ceive the enthusiastic support of the Mid
die and Eastern States, and if cordially
sustained by the friends of Mr.. Pendleton
his election may be regarded as positively
certain. + General Blair is distin-
guished not only as an able statesman, but
as one of the most brilliant of the federal
major generals who fought with Sherman
during the late war.

The nomination of Seymour and Blair
was yesterday received everywhere with
the most unbounded enthusiasm. Meas
ures were Immediately inaugurated by the
Executive Committee of the Democratic
party for a grand ratification meeting to
be held on Saturday week next, the 18th
instant, at Lafayette square. From the
preparations now under way this promises
to be one of the greatest events that has
occurred since the war. 1t is deemed
proper that the white people of New Or
leans should en- nlasse manifest their ap-
proval of the many efforts made in behalf
of their liberties by the two great political
giants now placed in nomination.

DANIEL IN BABYLON.
Lecture by the Rev. William Morley PuDston
mt the Academy Of Music.

Lecture by the Rev. William Morley PuDshon
Mt the Academy Of Music.
Very rarely has the Academy OF Music been more
densely crowded than last evening. Two causes con-
trbuted to this result. First to Substantially benefit
the New York City Sunday School and Missionary
Society Of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and
secondly, to hear Rev. william Morley Punshon, the
eminent pulpit orator. His lecture last evening
fully sustained his SPLENDID Transatlantic reputation.
Ne spoke without manuscript or notes. but the gush.
ing COW OF his polished periods left doubt OF the
lecture being at his tongues end Though speaking
with great rapidly he, never faltered for word.
His voice Is very flexible and pleasing, and his style
Of delivery graceful and dgnned II IL earnest ana
impassloned. An hour and half, the time he
was occupied in his lecture he held his vast
audience spelbound by the wonderful power OF his
eoquence-the eloquence not OF voice and gestlcula-
ton and manner alone, but Of beautiful thoughts
and pungent practical every day truths. His theme
was but the basis, or pretext rather, OF his dis.
cursiye ideas and salient hits at some Of the leading
foes OF the times. An abstract OF the lecture con-
yeys but feeble idea OF ts scope and brilliant force
and pungency.
After singing hymn, in which oil the congrega-
ton Joined, Mr.. W. W. Cornell, President OF the New
York City Sunday School aud Missionary Society
OF the Methodist Episcopal Church, introduced
the lecturer. After an exordIum, speaking 10
general terms OF the distinctive characteristics
OF the heroes Of any and Gil ages, ne

sought revenge upon his captors. he might have
given way TO lIstless dreaming. Daniel did none az
,n .nings; ne WAS TOO true and brave man and
signed to his fate and thereby became useful ana
happy. In this connection the lecturer urged the
great moral utility OF c0ntentment, and was scath-
lngy severe upon Idle day dreamers, and
that large class who, like Micawber are
always waiting for something to turn up. He IN
sisted that the lecturers OF the present day doing

A so-Called State Police.

Among the projects now before
the Legislature for subiecting the
people of this State to a merciless
tyranny which would come home
to the door and to the hearth of
every citizen, is one entitled can
act to organize a State Police for
the State Of Louisiana" But the
title affords no idea of it's nature,
As regards organization and dis
cipline, the so-called police force,
for which this bill provides, is in
every respect military. AS regards
its functions other than military,
it is magisterial and inquisitorial-
no house being safe from search,
and no person exempt from arrest,
without warrant and at the disere-
tion of one of these extraor6atiinnfatif a,
officials. The regular quota Of this
police for each parish is not to ex-
coed one hundred, except the par
ish of Orleans where it may be as
high as two hundred for each
representative district, or upwards
of two thousand for the whole
parish. It would be in the aggre-
gate almost seven thousand, con-
shutting q regular standing army
d" under the control and direction
of the governor of the State, who
shall be styled the commander-in-
chief." But "upon any emergen-
cy," and on election days, the force
may be doubled, and on election
days the supernumeraries are to
be paid. Still more, the comman-
der-in-chief is authorized, at his
discretion, to organize in one part
of the State as large a force as he
may see fit to operate in another
part Of it and all costs of trans
portation, camping, and subsist-
anOe are to be betrayed out Of the

general funds Of the State. AS far
as practicable, the regular force is
to be mounted, and the pay of its
privates, corporals, sergeants, leu
tenants, and captains, together
with that of its permanent " courts
martial" called also "boards Of
commissioners" amounts to up
wards of two millions and "a half
dollars per annum. This is the
cost of the army on a peace foot
ing, to say nothing of the expense
of its warlike operations. This
atrooious project has been referred
to a committee of which the mem
Der who introduced it is chairman.
Of course it will be, reported back

despotism than ever cursed and
