Old Buchanan dreamed the dream Of
peaceable secession to the last, and
it was not until the flag was fired up
on at Fort Sumter that the impossi-

The rebels now talk about "peace-

'peaceable trampling into the dust"

about peaceable secession in 1860

Insanity in the Seymour Family.


Horatio Seymour's father killed
himself in a fiji ofinsanity his moth,
er was tor ten years previous to her
death, an inmate of an insane asy-
lum-his fathers brother committed
suicide while insane, and an aat Of
his father, also killed herself while
insane. 1t may be said that these
are matters of family history not
proper to be brought into a political
canvass. True, it is not Seymour's
fault that insanity is hereditary in
his family; it is his misfortune. But
the people are called upon to place
him in the highest snd most respon-
sible position in the nation, and it is
a question of infinite moment TO him
and to the whole country whether he
is liable at any moment TO lose his
reason and become insane. This is
question of most serious import
and made the more serious, by the
character. Of the man who would
stand next TO him in the line of sue
cession. The facts we have stated
are notorious where Mr.. Seymour's
family is known. 1t is useless to un>
dertake TO conceal them or gloss them
over. 1t is not his fault, we know,
but we do say, that even Though Ho>
ratio Seymour We're the purest states
man and most ardent patriot that
ever brcathed-to elect him on the
same ticket with Frank Bl;lr
would be worse than Madness
The Tammany Convention never
would have dared 10 nominate Frank
Blair for the Presidency, but in effect
they did lust this.

murder to accomplish their ends.
Notwithstanding this terrorism the
republicans are not inundated, but

Another species of democratic pro
scription is the refusing to employ
any negroes who are republicans
and the threat to discharge all who
may vote the republican ticket this

and necessities of the poor; yet all
this while they pirate of the "despot'

unfair means used by that party to

Our Relations with Mexico-A Curious
Statement.

4 Washington letter to the SYRIA

soon after the surrender Of the rebel
armies, General j. NJ Schefeld, now
Secretary of War, visited Europe, os-
tensibly on leave of absence. He
was gone nearly twelve months, and
spent most of the time at the Aus

serving, regarded as evidence that
his visit was not merely private, but
had some semi official Significance
military or otherwise. The truth is,
the General was sent to Europe on a
diplomatic mission. with Il view to
induce the withdrawal Of the foreign
troops then sustaining Macmillan.
They were Withdrawn. The mission
was suggested, urged and arranged
by General Grant, and shortly after
the following letter was written by
him to the President:

lead to an expensive and bloody war
hereafter, or yielding of territory
now possessed by us. To let the EN-
