A Pearl from an OYSTER.

In one of Seymour's speeches, made
onlya short time before the Tammany
Convention, the following relative to
paying the National debt i'm greenbacks
occurs. What became of such honest
convictions when he noun ted the Tam
many-repudiation nag for ride to the
White House will probably come back
i'm q letter from Salt River early in No
vember next:
"Some hold that it is right, and that it
is due to the taxpayers, that we should
save what We can by paying the princi-
pal Of the debt in currency. but they
underrate the force Of their own argu-
ments. 1t is a mistake to suppose that
the interests of the bondholder and the
Taxpayer are antagonistic. The fact il
overlooked that in order to make any
saving by giving the bondholder a de-
based or worthless paper, we must bring
upon ourselves disaster and dishonor
which will cost a hundred-fold what we
can save. 1t means that We are to give
to the laborer for his toll base curren-
cy. 1t means that the honor Of our
country shall be stained. 1t means that
our business shall be kept in uncertain
ty aud confusion. 1t means that the
tax -payer shall be burdened by gov
ernmeni proved to be corrupt and imbe
cilc by the very depreciation Of its mon
ey. We cannot afford to speculate upon
the nations honor at SO fearful a cost"

How Seymour Invested His Money

lloratio Seymour deemed it so inpor-
tant that the people should know that
he never invested dollar in United
State bonds, that he took pains to write
"A letter chronicling the fact, and to give
it 10 the public in such a manner "a to
secure insertion in all the newspapers.
He. in effect, boasts, that he never
loaned the government dollar, al
though the very existence of the gov
ernment at one time depended on
voluntary loans from lis citizens. and
seymour was rich and had plenty of
surplus funds. The reason Why Hora-
ito Seymour refused to loan his money
to government may prossbly he inferred
from the following extract from a
speech delivered by him in Philadelphia
in 1854:
The bonds Of the United States have
sold for but 40 cents OH the dollar i'm
Germany, while bonds Of the Con feder-
ate states have sold there for 50 cents
on the dollar. And why? because the
lonfcderdte government, ,rheaercr ihns
issued ne'c bonds, has fortified them With
sdtJibI securities, WHILE WE GAVE NO
SECURITY But OUR PROMISES
Perhaps Seymour invested in Confed-
crate bonds, as he seemed to consider
the security better, and lial no money
to spare for federal securities. 'NVhere
the heart Is, there will the treason be
Also Let Seymour write another let
ter and state whether he ever owned
any confederate bonds. Clinton Her.

it appears that Delmar has omitted in
his exhibit the cash balance on hand Oh
the 3oth of June last, amounting to
Sl03, 900, 900, which, of course forms part
of the resources of the Government. He
estimates the receipts at S32l $780, 900, and
the expenditures ut S474 ,sj9, 922, but
omitted the balance on hand, which,

can they till further appropriation is

The Mass Meeting at Cedar Rapids.
%. 600 RAIDS. are Present! d..

The Republican rally at the above
named place oil Saturday last was a
grand affair, being by far the largest
gathering in Iowa during the present
campaign. The number present was
variously estimated at from fifteen to
twenty-five thousand. A procession
was formed at 10l o'clock, headed ~ n
long line of hundreds of Tanners in uni
form, which occupied the time till after
noon III passing through y few of the
principal streets. In fact, teams were
pouring in in such numbers from all di-
rections, that one could hardly tell what
YVES procession from what wasn't. The
city was streaming with flags and deco
ratiOns, and crowded from center to sub
urL with enthusiastic Republican men,
women aud children. >. .e#.
A good deal of merrimeut was created
by some Of the notices and Transparent
cies carried in the procession. A tableau
of the capture Of JEFF Davis, the arch
rebel being represented in the dignified
and becoming costume which he wore
into "tbe last ditch" drew shouts OF
laughter from the crowd As it passed.
The speeches in the afternoon, by Mr..
Mack, of Illinois, and Major O'Conncr,
were attended by more people than
could get within hearing distance, and
Yet the crowd in the streets seemed
hardly to have abated at all. In the ev-
ching fine display was made by the
various companies Of Tanners uniting
in y grand torch light procession, after
which speeches were made from differ
ent stands by Col. Dave Wilson aud
Maj. O'Connor, both of whom had large
audiences aud received frequent and
hearty applause.
The good aud loyal people Of Cedar
Rapids can not be too highly compli.
mented npon the manner in which they
received and entertained their guests, a,
every Tanner who enjoyed their hospi-
tality Oh Saturday will testify; and III
every respect, the meeting was as pleas
ant aud successful AS the most arden'
Republican could have hoped for, or the
most sanguine could have expected.

PENNSYLVANIA THE DECISIVE TEST.
The Maine election points to the cleo
ton of General Grant by majority
something like Lincoln's majority OF
the electoral vote of 1864. The October
State elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio,
and Indiana will settle the question:
From all the developments before us
Ohio and Indiana are already back
again in the channel Of the campaign
of 1861; but We have nothing very def
mate as yet of the drift of public opin.
ion in Pennsylvania, although it will
doubtless be carried by the general pop.
u!ar pressure. Last year, on a vote
which fell short of the vote of 1866 some
sixty thousand, the. Democrats carried
the State by nine hundred majority. In
1865 the Republicans elected their Gov.
ernor by seventeen Thousand. The
same issue being up now the same re-
suit may follow in the coming October
election, and if so the Presidential elec.
ton will be settled and the general
election of November will be reduced to
q mere Formally. y. Hc;rz!!,.. Sept.
