Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1868-07-22

Secretary of War, telegraphed Governor
HoRATIo SEYMOUR that the movements of
the Rebel forces in Virginia were suffi-
ciently developed to show that General LEE,
with his whole army, was moving forward
to invade Maryland, Pennsylvania and
| other States, and he desired to know
| whether the Governor would honor spe-
cial call from the President for 10000 vol
unteers. 1t was optional with Governor
SEYMOUR whether he would honor this call
His immediate response was YES" and
straightway he ordered the New York and
Brooklyn troops to Philadelphia. Such
| was the celebrity with which he acted that
on the 18th of June, 1868, within three days
after the special requisition was made upon
him, he had taoelue thousand troops on the
way to Harrisburg, and he continued to
send troops forward with unexampled rap
idity. a
This is what we call quick work. And
yet this man, who was thus prompt and ef-
ficient In succoring the Government, is de-
nounced as having plotted and consorted
with the Confederates, while Ex-Governor
Brown, of Georgia, who was an original
aud pestiferous secessionist and an alder
aud abettor of the Confederate cause, is
pronounced guileless patriot, because he
hasjoined the Radicals and affects to behold
in the Negro the requisite qualities to make
him ruler in the United States. b ,a--i
Tho Good Effect of F,endleton,s
~ -. Grafton Speech.
We see specials in Republican papers
giving accounts of Democratic Ratification
meetings that were held last Saturday
night in this State. They say that there
was disinclination on the part of Demo-
Gratis to ratify, until Mr.. PENDLEToN made
his Grafton, West Virginia, speech, and
that now they have put on the armour and
will not take it off until the Presidential
fight closes in November. No Democrat
who had faith in Mr.. PENDLEToN and his
financial policy, will be a laggard in this
fight while Mr.. PENDLEToN fights in the
front frank and in the thickest of the
fight. They fight Tor the salvation of the
eountry-for Constitutional Government
for Retrenchment and Reform-for light
taxes and good times. Victory must crown
with success this cause. f,.-s-,-.--

A special from New York, In yesterdays
Cincinnati Commercial, contains the follow
ing:
"Belmont is understood to fear repudia-
tion as the policy of the Democracy, and
financial trouble if Seymour is
elected"
Papers that have undertaken to make it
appear that the nomination of Mr.. SEY-
sIoUR was New York trick, played in the
interest OF the Bondholders, should not
publish such notices about Mr.. BELMONT.
They are calculated to make the people be-
lieve that they were not, after all, as rep
by Republican journals, sold out
1t New York; and that their interests will
be duly looked after under the administra-
lion of Mr.. SEYMOUR. This fact will nee
essarily damage the prospects of the Re-
publican party.
