The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1868-10-29
HOraliO seymour.

If ever a party had cause to be proud
of their candidate for the Chief Magistracy
of this country, Gays the Harrisburg Pu>
triot, the Democracy have now cause to be
proud of theirs.
Undoubtedly, this day Horatio Scy-
mour is the foremost man, the most &C
complished scholar and statesman, the
ablest and purest patriot in the country.
Like Saul among the prophets, he
stands a head and shoulders above all
others.
Your Radical candidate-where is he =?
You do not know him. A man of ''no
policy" his tongue dares not give utter
anCe to the sentiments he cherishes, Gf
he have any and the American people
are asked 10 take on trust, for the nigh
est office under the Constitution, a man
who has given no expression whatever to
his opinions.
How different with Horatio Seymour,
the Democratic candidate.
He gives to the public the innermost
thoughts of his great soul, and confounds
the adversaries of Democracy with bold
ness Of speech which no man in the Radi-
cal ranks can controvert.
He is eminently a man of the people,
and being man of the people he speaks
to the people and for the people.
While Grant hides himself from the
public, and sleeps and cas- among his
shoulder straps and bayonets, Horatio
Seymour comes bravely forward and talks
Familiarity and forcibly to the people, upon
whom it rests to determine, by their bali
lots, the destiny Of !heir country.
You cannot compare the men.
There is no just comparison between
them.
1t would be ''l1yperion to Satyr,"
We republish the closing remarks of
Governor Seymour at Rochester, trusting
that they may reach the eye and convince
the judgment of men ou:si lie the Demo>
cratic party:
MY strength, my time. this vast audi
ence, prevents my atte tempting to address
you at length or in any detail upon this
great subject. We ask you Low that by
your votes you shall put some check upon
the unqualified power exercised by the Con-
gressionai party. II we do well in the place
you have put Us, and our conduct shall be
such that we gain your confidence, then we
election to 20 on with the work of reforma-
tion and reinstate in full power that great
aud glorious Democratic party, which is
identified with all that is glorious in the
history Of our country. ! have but one
word more to say and then I will give place
to my friend Mr.. Kernan. | implore every
man within the sound cf my voice, v hatever
his political views may BE- Def re he casts
his ballot at this election, to seriously ask
himself whether it is not better for this
whole country that political power shall in
some degree be divided between political or
CARNATIONS, and ask those who in their
hearts seek the welfare Of uur lard and the
supremacy of our institutions if it is well
and safe for another four years to give un-
restrained, unchanged and unqualified power
to those who have failed during the past four
years to bring our affairs into satisfactory
condition. We do not ask you to give US
unrestrained power. You could not if you
would All you can do at this election is to
place some one in the Executive chair who
can check the eXceSseS of the Congressional
party and to administer a rebuke to those
who, giving way to passion and acting upon
the policy Of hate and ,iiscord, have prolong-
ed the difficulties of our country, have con-
tinu d its burdens of taxation, have opposed
its labor and made its people uncertain as to
its future. | trust that when this election
shall have terminated. it shall be the juGg-
ment of the people of the United States, that
the intention of the trainers of our constitu-
ton shall be carried out, that power shall in
such degree be divided between the great
political organizations so that they can hold
each other in check, and that it shall neither
be in the power of the Republican nor of the
Democratic party to plunge our country into
10 of iu1l hau
find it in their hearts to 10 thing so unwise.
SO wicked and SO unpatriotie. Cheers
thank you, my friends, for this great exhi-
bition of your kind partiality to myself
From my heart I thank you at this time,
when l have been the object of so much
obIoquy. for this demonstration of kindness
and consideration. 1t strengthens my arm
and makes me feel confidence that he who
with sincerity and humble zeal tries to serve
his country and benefit his fellow-citizens
will ever meet with warm welcome from
those whose interests he deeply cherishes.-
