BRAxTs AND BuTTOSs.

The Democratic press say that the
Presidential contest is between "brains
and buttons" Seymour having the
brains and Grant the buttons, and
that brains is sure to win. Talking
about buttons, they must have forgot
ten Blair. The Cincinnati Times asks
Il few questions on the subject, some
thing in this wise Where was "brains"
when "buttons" was receiving the sur
render of Vicksburg, the Western Reb-
el Gibraltar? lie was telling his clear
friends" that the Rebels could not pos
sibly be conquered /! Where was
"brains" when "buttons" (Mcade) was
chasing Gen. Lee from the decisive
battle-ground of Gettysburg? lie
was on that very day telling the coun-
try we could not afford to prosecute the
war any longer, that the Rebels would
certainly succeed! Where was "brains"
while "buttons" was "iighting it out
on that line" telling the worl'l that
the "Conicderacy was q SHE'LL" and
that it had robbed both "thc cradle
and the grave in vain?
He was urging upon the people the
truth of the Chicago platform with the
celebrated clause, "aftcr four years of
failure" &c, and still insisting that
the shell could not be broken, and
there were enough more in the cradle
and with one foot in the grave to whip
us all and destroy the Republic! But
previous to this, in 1861, where was
''brains," when "buttons" volunteered
as mere colonel of a regiment to srls-
tain the old flag? Alas, having just
read the Confederate Constitution, he
asked friend how he liked the doc
ument, an on getting the reply that it
was an improvement on our own Con-
stitution, "brains" asked Why not
adopt it for the whole country, and
thus end the strife forever! We'll
readers, which do you prefer on the
record, "brains or "buttons" II
that is all that ".brains" amounts to,
every one who was loyal during the
war, says give us "buttons." "But-
tons" forever. Buttons" has glori-
ouslytriumphcd thus far, and "brains'
of such an added sort are bound still
to osc.-Hm. Telegraph.

State and the United States. Now
when the United States was in ex-
iremity Smith turned his property in
to money and lent it to the Cover
|ynent, which said to him. "If | go,
your money goes with me; if | es-
cape, the bond give you shall not
be taxed" The Government escaped.
Now if it permits any body else to tax
the bond, it permits somebody else to
break its word to Smith, who helped
it in extremity. 1t ought not to per-
nit that. No honest man, not Jones,
himself it he be honest, will insist
that it should. But this is what
the Democratic Platform demands
should be done. 1t demands that
the States shall tax bonds which were
taken under the guarantee of the Uni
ted States that they should be taxed.
1t demands that the Government
shall permit the most shameless swim
die.
"Wly, then" asks our honest reader,
"why should not Congress itself tax
them?" In the first place, it is plain
that ififit should do this il twould break
sown promise to the takers ofthc bonds
because the amount of the tax would be
just so much reduction of the interest
upon them. 1t would be the same as
declaring that hcncetorth the Govern
ment would pay six per cent. interest
upon bonds for which it promised to
pay seven. In transaction between in
dividuals every man knows what this
would be, and what the consequences.
A merchant who should do it would be
ruined forever as the most dishonest of
men. In the second place, the Con-
stitution torbids the Government to
lay tax upon persons or property
except by apportioning it among the
States according to population. This
is impracticablc, and the National
Government, therefore, taxes indiiect-
ly. 1t taxes consumers and traders,
and when income must bear its share
Of the general bsrClen, the income de-
rived from the Government bonds is
equally taxed. Thus if Congress
should tax the bonds it would be
both dishonest and unconstitutional
act.
But the Democratic platform docs
not ask or mean that Congress shall
do it. When it demands equal taxa
ton oievcry species ofproperty accor-
ding to its real value, it uses an ex-
prcssson which is applicable only to
State authority. This the trainers of
the platform knew, and this they in
tended. 1t is part OF the policy of
hostility between the States and the
National Government. 1t is intended
to place the latter in the light of an
oppressor, and the former in that of
defenders of the people. Itsis the old
devil of State sovereignty. 1t is the
spirit of secession which has cost us al :.
ready a bloody war. This clause of
the Democratic platform demands that
the States shall bring the Union into
disgrace. Does any honest reader be-
lieve that to be for his interest ?-Har-
pels Jpcekiv.

PARADOXICAL.

The Rochester Democrat says: "Ho-
ratio Seymour, a few minutes before
he was nominated as tho Democratic
candidate for the Presidency, declared
to the Convention that he could not
and would not accept the nomination
if rendered him. He said that he
"could not receive the nomination
without placing himself and the DEM
.ocratic party in a false position" He
has done SO. He said his honor was
pledged not to receive the nomination,
and "upon a question of honor he
must stand upon his own convictions
against the world" He has accepted
the nomination. He said that "honor
forbade his accepting q nomination
from that Convention" He has ac-
cepted 1t. He said that if he became
the Democratic candidate for the Pres
idency, no "should feel q dishonored
man." He accepts the situation. Ho-
ratio Seymour stands before the people
Of the United States to-day, by his
own repeated confession, a pledge and
"dishonored man."

CAUGHT THE WRONG MAN.

A few evenings since young man,
apparently from the country, judging
from the cut Of his clothes and the
material Of which they were made
carelessly sauntered into awell known
gambling house on one of our princi-
pal streets, and walking up to the bar
asked for something to drink. The
bar-keepcr waited upon him, and after
drinking he seated himself in an easy
chair in a careless manner, where ho
remained for q considerable time with
out attracting any notice. Finally
the "stool pigeon" of the establish
mcnt entered the bar-room and his
attention was called to the stranger by
the bar-kcepcr, who had observed a
well filled pocket book in the posses
sion of the "man from the country"
when he settled for his drink. Sec
ing speculation tho "pigeon" invited
the stranger to drink, an invitation he
accepted, and in a short time after q
game of "poker" was proposed and
the stranger invited to take hand,
which proposition he accceded to after
being pressed to do so. A party Of
four retired to an upper room, kept
for the purpose, with the intention,
doubtless, Of "plucking" their game;
but the sequel proved that they had
"rcckonel without their host" The
game progressed smoothly for some
time, the stranger winning and losing
alternately, but invariably losing moro
than he won, until hc was about five
hundred dollars short. Thinking they
had the greater portion Of his money,
the party who had set down to "heece"
him began the "bluff game" with the
intention of cheating" him out Of the
remainder or forcing him to quit the
game. This, it appears, was what he
desired, and his antagonists being
thrown off their guard by his assumed
grccnncss, allowed themselves to be
completely taken in. He managed 10
slip in "cool pack" upon them, and
the first deal not only won back what
he had previously lost, but about two
thousand dollars additional, after
which he left the establishment, re.
marking as he did SO that he would
"go and change clothes, as that coun-
try toggery, although profitable, was
not comfortable" 1t was ascertained
that he was sharper from the East
and hld assumed the disguise Of q
countryman to enable him the more
easily to fleece his victims.-PMs.

was sustained by his colleague, Mr..
Herman, who assured the Convention
that Mr.. Seymour could carry the
State of New York by n majority Of
one hundred thousand without can
vass. Then followed Kentucky, Ten
ncssee, North and South Carolina,
Mississippi and the rebel States gener-
ally, when following their lead come
good old Pennsylvania throwing over
board her brave and patriotic son,
General Hancock, and went for Scy-
mour, which settled the question and
the nomination was unanimous.
THE VICE PRESIDENCY.
TO give the Seymour wircworkcrs
and the Southern delegates time to Sc
lcct vice President recess ofan hour
was asked for and granted. On the
meeting of the Convention, according
to the programme, n Confederate Gen.
Prcston,) of Kentucky, rose and after
a highly eulogistic speech, nominated
Francis p. Blair, who it will be re-
mcmbered had just before written Il
letter, which was read in the Conven-
tion, plcdging himself to aid the South
in putting down the reconstruction
laws By force Of arms.
Mr.. Campbell, Chairman, then in
troduced General Wade Hampton to
speak for South Carolina, and he cast
her vote for General Blair, which he
did in very complimentary speech,
but took good care not to say word
about the aforesaid letterof Mr.. Blair,
promising to join the South in anoth-
cr rebellion. Georgia then cast her
vote by the chairman, who boosted of
having been rebel soldier, thanking
the Convention very politely for the
Kindness and courtesy with which they
had been treated. When all the rest
rushed in, making the nomination
unanimous, treating the nomination Of
General Hancock, Gen. Ewing (thc
nomination of the Soldiers and Sal
lors' Conycnlion,) and all the other
candidates, Ger. McClcrnand, Nor
gan, Hodge, and others, with perfect
contempt, not giving one Of them u
single votc-thus carrying ont and
consummating the original program
me in all its parts, and dismissing the
numerous delegates in attendance, boil
ing with Indignation at the way in
which they had been cheated by Scy-
mour and his followers, and covered
all over with shame and mortiiica-
ton, to deliver the sad tidings of their
shameful defeat to their indignant con-
stitucncies at home - Com.

the Fremont Convention. In 1859
the Republicans of Cambria county
presented him to their district confer
cnce us their choice for the Senatorial
nomination, and three years ago he was
unanimously selected again MS the
choice of the Union party Of Cambria,
for State Senator, but failed to receive
the nomination from the district con-
ference npon either occasion, not how
ever from want of appreciation of his
worth and services as citizen and as u
brave. and meritorious soldier.
On tile 18th of August 1865, Gen
Campbell was nominated for Survey
or General by the Republican party
and in October of the same year, was
elected over Col. Linton, his compct-
itor, by large majority. For over
two years he has administered the du-
tics of his Office with recognized abili-
ty and to the satisfaction Of all parties
and has brought up large amount of
unfinished and intricate business. In
March last, he was unanimously re-
nominated by the Republican State
Convention, for the office he now so
ably and satisfactorily fills. A unani-
nous denomination from State Con-
vention Of either party, is no small
compliment to any man, and no one
within our recollection except Gen.
Campbell and his colleague on the
State ticket ever before receive such n
marked endorsement.
Such in brief is hurried sketch Of
the life and services of one of Penn
sylvania's noblest sons. He is first
found u printers devil" u ".jour," a
"deck hand" on a steamboat, a "ccrk"
"mate" and "part owner Of u vessel
He is next found in the Iron business
then in California, and finally in the
gigantic enterprise of the celebrated
Cambria Iron Mills, where his cxpc-
riencc added largely to the success of
that stupcndous undertaking. At the
breaking out of the war, he was Lieu
tenant Of a militia company, entered
the army and was appointed Quar-
tcrmaster, then Colonel, and after a
brilliant campaign of three long weary
years, he was honorcd with Brcvet
Brigadicr Generals Commission, po-
sition long and doubly earned in COM
mand OLA brigade and division, and
by gallantry in the field Thus, it
will be seen, that Gen. Campbell
comes from the working class, and is
emphatically u working man.
His social characteristics never fail
to create the warmest friendship and
a lasting impression. HIc is shrewd

GRANT AND HIS THADUCERs.

1t would be highly desirable ifthe
pending national canvass could be
conducted without being disfgured
with gross personal attacks upon the
respective Presidential candidates.
But this docs not comport with the
tactics olson Of the leading journals
on both sides. They are nothing if
not vitupcrativc. The Democratic not
yet on the course, the Radicals have
not now so wide a field for the display
of their cxcoriating rhetoric as will be
opened to them on the adjournment of
the July Convention. In the mean
time, the type of journals we have mem
toned on the Democratic side have
commenced their peculiar attacks on
Gen. Grant. They have pretty much
abandoned the allegation of intcmpcr-
ance, and seem to rest their objections
to his election mainly on the charges
that he has changed his name, and
smokes inccssantly, and is butcher in
shoulder straps.
They insist that the Chicago nomi-
nee is trying to pass himself off under
an alias, and that his real nameis is Hir-
am Ulysses Grant. Young Grant was
admitted to the Academy at West
Point ON the recommendation Of the
Hon. Thomas l.. Hamcr, an able
Democratic member of Congress from
Ohio, who was afterwards u General
of Volunteers in the Mexican war,
and gallantly led his brigade in the
desperate assault of Monterey, where,
by the by his protege distinguished
himself as Second Lieutenant. Ha-
mer enrolled his young friends nameat
the Academy as Ulysses S. d; and if he
was not christencd by that name in
infancy, he has since been baptized in
to it with the fire and blood Of hun
dred battles in defence Of the flag Of
our Union, SO that it will doubtless
answer to swear him in by next March.
Grant smokes, and the Anti-Tobac-
co League, selecting the ascetic World
as their organ, have issued funny ad-
dress against him. 1t cannot bc de-
MED that Grant arrested the eye of the
nation by his proclivity to smoke. He
smoked at Belmont, at Donelson, and
at Pittsburg Landing. le smoked
fariously at Vicksburg, at Chattanoo-
ga, ut the Wilderness, and at Spott-
sylvania, and kept it up all Summer
until lie reached Peterburg. He
smoked around Petersburg and Rich
mond for nine months, and took a fl
nal smoke with Gen. Lee under the
famous Appomattox apple tree. Tht
old adage assures us that q good dea
of smoke must necessarily be accompa.
. MED by fire; and it must be admittet
that on all these occasions Grant die
much of his smoking under fire.
