nal pithily replies:

1t is an attempt that was often made dur
ing the war to dress rebels in the uni

our prisoners at Andersonville, and sent

EET The n. Y. Herald, whose polit-
ical sagacity it admitted by all, says
1.-THE die is cast. The Democratic
Convention has declared that our next
President shall be General Grant. There
was splendid opportunity offered this
convention, in the nomination Of Chief
Justice Chase, to carry off the balance
of power from the Republican camp,
North and South East aud West, and to
inaugurate, in the approaching Presiden-
tial election, substantial and durable
conservative revolution. Seymour
against Grant in 1868 amounts to a sur
render or disbauding of the Democratic
party. The ticket Of General Mcclellan
| against Lincoln was strong ticket com
pared with this of Seymour against
Grant. 1t has not the prestige of the
ticket in 1862. Indeed, Mr.. Seymour
was elected Governor, but it was on the
platform of vigorous prosecution of the
war. To 1864 he returned to his idols
Of the Copperhead faith, and there he
would have remained, but for the defec-
| ton of Republicans and their divisions
on the State Elections of last year. Now,
as in 1863, "a. '65 and &c, after thoir
successes in 1852, all the capital and all
the foothold gained by Democrats have
been thrown away and lost, and the bat
tie of 1865 is revived with some chan
ges, to be sure, but as against Seymour.
they are all in favor of Grant. There is
nothing in Seymour, nothing in his rec
ord, nothing in his platform, that will
bring single recruit TO the Democratic
party; but everything to rally the whole
floating vote of the United States, with
all the Conservative Republicans, around
the glorious banner of Grant.

@We believe that Gov. SEYMOUR
will be beaten for President, but there is
no doubt that be is the strongest man in
the Democratic party. But the same
causes which will enable him to hold the
vote of the Democratic party, will pre-.
vent his receiving Republican votes. Yet
the victory is to be won by work, not by
Boosting. In 1854, Gov. Seymour, with
the oder ofthe New York riots clinging
freshly and Extensively to him, barely
missed reelection as Governor, in a
poll of over 100000 votes. 1t is not
wise to sheer at the strength Of such a
man. The Republican party must carry
organized energy into the canvas.

The bonds of the government could
now be bought by the Secretary of the
Treasury, if he had the means, at the
rate of IS cents per dollar in gold, or
from l07 to liz currency. 1t seems SUI
perfuous TO discuss the question whether

discount if we had the gold TO buy them
with, and from to IL per cent, premi-
um in currency. if we had the greenbacks
to buy them with-the real trouble being
that it is just as impossible for the gov
eminent to get the greenbacks to pay
them with as to get tho gold, if either
are to be raised by taxation.
II, however the Democratic platform
means that the Government is to issue
new greenbacks in paymen: of the public
debt, the question arises: Since the
greenbacks are mere promises to pay, in
what currency is the Government to re,
deem the greenbacks? Ifthey are new
er to be redeemed at all, then why not
save the needless expense of printing
them by regulating the whole debt at
once? If they are to be redeemed in
gold, how much cheaper will it be to pay
off the debt in greenbacks and redeem the
greenbacks in gold, than to pay off the
debt in gold at once, without the interpo-
sition of greenbacks.

EE The N. Y. TRIBUNE says: ave
have twice taken the measure of Mr..
Horatio Seymour, twice putting him out
of the Governors chair when he had all
its power and patronage at bis disposal;
and we shall beat him now. After Civ
ing statement of the vote of the State

- There is our work cut out for US
to poll 100000 votes for Grant and Col

354 more than we. polied in go; and
we came still nearer high-water mark in
ga and go. We shall make large in

any vote we ever yet polled; we shall
gain still moro in Brooklyn, because the
increase of population is there greater in
proportion than here; and we shall gain
Lincoln's last vote 10 nearly every city of
our State, while fully holding our own
10 the rural districts. We have the vo-
tiers; we shah poll tho votes. Though

R The Syracuse N. Y. Courier

says:
"With that Joy which the bridegroom
clasps his newly welded bride; with that
JOY with which The Pilgrims of old, toll
ing, weary, and footsore. first beheld the
New Jerusalem, with that JOY with
which poor weak humanity clings TO its
Savior for support, we, an overburdened,
oppressed, and weary people, grooming
under the sweat of load of indignities,
long since too heavy to be longer borne,
proclaim to day as our great standard
bearer in the great coming contest of lib
erty, justice and freedom, with Cypress
ion, injustice and inhumanity, the name
of Horatio Seymour, the frank. fearless,
candid, selfdenying man, the bold, in
trepid leader, the eminent scholar, and
the distinguished statesman of the EN-
pire State"
That fellow ought to take "recess"

SEYMOUR seems to have had melan-
choly prescieuce of the chilling effect his
nomination would have upon the Demo
cratic party. He declared before the
convention that his nomination would
imperil the success of the party. He
knew very well what the convention for
got, that his bad record during the war
would lose him the support of all the
war Democrats and soldiers, and that his
speech in favor of the bond holders
would lose him the support of the West
ern Pendletonians.

The fourteenth amendment is now
part of the Const tuition of tho United
States, its ratification by tho Legislatures
of South Carolina, Louisiana and Ala
bama completing the number of States
required, notwithstanding the revocation
of its ratification by the Copperhead
Legislatures of Ohio and New Jersey.
This amendment settles the matter of
suffrage in the South ern States beyond
the power Of the rebels to change it. even
if they had control of the Government.
By the amendment, if any portion of the
citizens of State are denied the right
of suffrage for any cause but crime, duly
established, said citizens shall not DE
counted in the basis of representation.
If, therefore, South Carolina concludes
to return to "white mans government"
--disfranchising the bIacks-she reduces
her representation in Congress from five
10 two members.
The formal abolition Of slavery involv-
cd in the constitutional amendments, is a
part of the work of reconstruction per-
formed by Congress. This whole work

void, and propose to ignore and undo it

ST. LOUIS.

The Hudson Times in an article on
the Editorial Excursion, thus speaks of
ST. Louis
The hospitality exhibited by St. Louis
was beyond description. There was a
warmth and cordially. and as Charley
Seymour SAYS, "magnanimous uncork
ativeness," we never saw before. And
it is our sincere wish. and the wish of all
the favored guests on that occasion, that
her citizens may be blessed and doubly
repaid for their princely courtesies. May
the pleasant acquaintance formed amid
these brief festivities, ripen into maturer
friendships--may the bonds Of sympathy
woven together by these interchapges of
thought and sentiment. ever strengthen
may the guests of that occasion ever
be mindful and worthy of the distinguish
ed hospitality bestowed upon them
may the city itself long continue to re,
ceive the growing comerce Of that nigh
ty river that rolls at its feet,--may its
wharves be piled with wealth, and its
s:orehouses filed with the products of
the field, the forest, and the mine,--its
sources of prosperity be as remote rs
the mountains that feed the river that
brings it lfe,--and its future greatness be
commensurate with its present mag
nificent progress, commercial integrity,
and far reaching enterprise.
