GAINESVILLE, Oct. 20, 49,. I

10 the Voters Of Montgomery county.
As the Presidential election is near
at hand, we deem it our duty to urge
upon you the importance OF turning
out in one solid column on the day of
the election. Our friends North are
by no means discouraged at the result
OF the recent elections in Ohio, Indi-
ann and Pennsylvania, but are conf
dent of castingthe vote of these States
for Seymour and Blair. We are
aware of the fact that large numbers
of our warmest friends in our own
State take but little interest in this
contest in consequence of the large
majority against Us. This should not
he so. Our opponents are disorgan-
lied, demorali2ed and routed, and if
we should fail in casting the vote of
the state for Seymour and Blair; we
viii go reduce the majority of our OPP
ponents as TO secure our triumph in
the next election.
We have no candidate of our own
choice for Congress, and 1t will de-
volve upon ia 10 select the "lesser Of
the two evils making n selection of
one OF the two candidates of the Re-
publican party. Your committee
does not feel authorized to recommend
either Of these candidates, and must
leave II TO the sound Judgment and
good sense OF each voter TO make his
own selection.
We have large numbers Of young
men In our county who have arrived
at the age Of maturity since the close
of the late war and, also, a number
of Union men during the war who
are now identified with ms. Each
and every one Of these men, under the
existing laws, are entitled 10 ceriif-
cate OF registration and 10 vote.
The Office Of registration, we are In
formed, i now open, ana win romain

PhiladeIphi. and New York.

The city of Philadelphia polled
121 ,23S votes at the late election. 1t
has q population of $4,000. New
York with population Of o million
has never cast but. lis, 900, votes, 5000
less than Philadelphia. This illus
trates how q swindling Republican
registry in New York has kept out
thousands of legal ivotefe, 1t has
practically DISTINGUISHED oie-third of
the voting population. This year
there Is vigorous effort being made
to surmount these register difficulties,
purposely intended, not to keep out
illegal, but legal voters. 1t does not
look well for New York to poll 5000
votes less than Philadelphia. New
York ought to cast 170, 900 votes, and
we believe she will do 1t in Novem-
Der. Only the greatest rascality Of
the Republican registrars can prevent

SOME of the English journals are
severe on our minister, Revcrdy John
son because, on being introduced, he
shook hands with Mr.. Laird, the
builder of the Alabama. This is con-
temptible, and shows that the Radi-
Gals Of England are Of the same kid
ney with those of the United States.
This sympathy and general similar
ity ought to warn the Conservatives
of England against the fate which
awaits their country should Bright
and Mill succeed in their efforts at
miscaled reform.

An Important Letter From President
Johnson 10 Gov. Seymour.

BUFFALO, Oct.-The following dis
patch from President Johnson was
read 10y Gov. Seymour here this morn
ing: ~
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHING
TON, ID. c., Oct. %, 1861 TO Hon.
Horatio Seymour: j see ii announced
i'm the papers of this morning that
you will enter the Presidential can
vass in person. l trust this may be
so, as the present position of pulic af-
fairs iustities and demands It. 1t is
hoped and believed by your friends
that all the enemies of Constitutional
government, whether secret or avow-
ed, will not be spared, and that their
arbitrary and unjust suspensions, to-
gether with the wasteful, profiigate
and corrupt uses of the public treas
ure, will be signally exposed and re-
buked.
The mass of the people should be
aroused and warned against the en-
croachments of the despotic power
now ready TO enter the citadel of lib
erty. i trust you may speak with
an inspired tongue and that your
voice may penetrate every heart
throughout the land, let the living
principles of n violated Constitution
be proclaimed and restored, that
peace, prosperity and fraternal feeling
may return 10 divided and oppressed
nation.
(Signed.) ANDREW JOHNSON.

IT seems that the lately defeated
Radical candidates for Congress, are
candidates for the same position; not
before the people by whom they are
repudiated, but before that august
body known as the lower house of
Congress. This self-constituted board
of electors is in the habit of electing
to Congress Radicals who were de-
feated by the popular vote in their
own district, and the more signal
their defeat the better their chances
before this tribunal.

THE President has written letter
to Gen. Ewing on the financial posi-
ton and shows that the public debt is
on the increase and that, without a
change of administration, national
bankruptcy is inevitable, and that
the funding of the debt will make a
permanent and CALLING yoke upon the
neeiis Of the people.

ACCOUNTS from Louisiana of daily
and nightly conflicts and murders
seem to indicate very clearly that the
Radical programme of war of races
is being carried out in that 'hapless
State. Surely the people of the
North are blind as moles, or as fiend-
ish as devils, If they continue to up
hold the party that is converting this
beautiful land into hell on earth.

ALTHOUGH West Virginia is
bounded part BY Ohio and Penn
syIvania, it seems not to have been
effected by the results in those States.
1t may be that the Radicals thought
it so safe, being governed like Brown
lows kingdom, they deemed it I'M
necessary to spend money there for
the colonization Of voters. This neg
lect gave the Democrats fair show
and their success took the Radicals by
surprise. The returns are not COM
plete, but the Democratic gains reach
nearly three thousand and they claim
the State by three thousand majority.

THE New York Herald says that
the movement in favor of change of
candidates was set on foot by the pol
iticians who had made large bets on
the final result. Believing that a
change of names would annul their
bets, and being frightened by the re-
suits of the State elections, they
hoped, by the change, to save them
selves, without thought for the fate
of the nation. Another evidence
that money is the god of the North,
and that its influence is almost ON
nipotent.

speech or IEoratio Seymour at Bur:
falO.

FUFFALo, N. Y, October 22.-Gov.
Seymour spoke here tonight. The
of his remarks were as fol-
lows:
If the Democratic party succeeded
at this election it could not of itself
make or amend laws. 1t would only
be able to hold the violent leaders of
the Republican party in check. 1t
could do no revolutionary act, so far
as power is concerned. A Democrat
ic President would stand in the same
position beld by Andrew Johnson
His vigorous nature, his bold and res
olute defence of constitutional rights,
and his able assertions of the true
principles of Government, have not
saved him even from the violence of
those opposed to him, much less has he
been able to inaugurate any evasive
measures, or any act calculated to dis
turb the public peace. Our hope is,
in this election, to put into the eXecu-
tive offices those who could stay the
tide of corruption; those who could
save from further injuries the system
Of constitutional government; those
WIZ Couiu ptOtecI our pcUplc lTou
legislative wrong. We feel that our
success would be rebuke by the
American people of measures which
have been condemned so strongly by
many leading Republicans and Re
publican presses, as well as ourselves.
If the candidates on our ticket should
prove capable, honest, and true to
their trust, at another election the
peop'e of the United States could go
father and make 9 pemocratic H9H !,sse,
the character of the Senate could be
changed; and l believe that the day
is at hand when the judgments and
votes of the American people will
restore again power to that time hon
ored party under whose influence our
country was made great and prosper
Gus. None of these changes could be
made violently; none could endanger
public peace, but they would all tend
In the end to promote the welfare and
prosperity of the United States.
The meeting was then addressed by
Hon. Francis Herman. Full twenty
thousand people were in and about
the rink during the delivery of Gov
nor Seymour's address.
