"WAsHINGToN, June p, 1868.
DEAR SIR: [ cannot f0rbear ex-
pressing to you the deep obligations |
feel for the prompt and candid support
you have given to the government in
the present emergency. The energy,
activity and patriotism you have eX-
hibited, may be permitted personally
and officially to acknowledge, without
arrogating any personal claims on my
part in such service or in any service
| whatever.
,"Ishall be happy to bealways esteem
ed your friend.
"EDWIN VI. STANTON.
His EXcellency HoratiO Seymour"
If Governor Seymour, while thus
holding up the hands of the govern
ment against the rebels, also cour-
ageOasly maintained the rights of the
| citizens Of the loyal States-protested
against the imposition, by a partisan
provost marshal general, of exorbitant
draft quotas in Democratic districts,
and against the trial of Northern civil
ians by military commissions for often
ses unknown to the laws, and defined
| only in StantOns's General orders"
Detective Bakers instruction, or
DR.. Lebig's newly invented common
law of war; honor him all the
lCore for that. [Great laughter and
cheers.
Gentlemen let the Radicals go forth
and preach the destructive and revenge
full measures they have been concoc-
ting for three years past. Let them
try to reIlindle in the North the pass
ions which should have died with the
war. Let them show what they have
accomplished in destroying the South
ern States, Gnslaving the white man,
and making the negroes rulers and in
tearing down the benefcent govern
ment under which this nation has
tlOurished for q century. | have no
fear of the result. We will go forth
and advocate a cordial reunion of the
white people, North and South. We

the union and the government of the
Constitution. We will revive noreyeng-
ful memories of the war, but rather
grateful memories of the Revolution,
of 1872, and of Mexico, in which North
ern and Southern blood flowed on the
same fields and on the same side. Hav-
ing, as Mr.. Lincoln boasted, captured
"DiXie," we will play it alternately
with cold John Brown" to awaken
memories of triumph or defeat, but
only proud recollections of the valor
displayed on both sides during the re-
bellion, and the renoWn and power it
added to the American name through
out the world. We will carry the old
flag, bearing on its folds no stars in
black eclipse, but thirty-seven stars,
each equally luminous and effulgent,
and over the wreck Of the Radical par
ty and its usurpations we will restore
the Constitution and the Union. Ire

dependent in its sphere, each a check
on the usurpations of the others? No,
we do not live under a Constitution
but under Congress which trampIes
the Constitution under foot, and is for
the time omnipotent.
Three years after the total suppress
sion of the rebellion, the Radical par
ty gives us as the result of its rule,
and in return for the vast powers and
treasures confded to it, a Union with
ten of the great States destroyed, and
ten st. Domingos erected in their
stead, and in place of the benefcent
government we inherited, it gives us
a government in which the liberties
of the States have been swallowed up
by the central government, and the
powers Of the other Federal depart
ments swallowed up by Congress. In
short, we have no longer the govern
ment of the Constitution, but of a GEN
eral assembly, form which in no ma
tion has ever lasted a lifetime-which
is always begot of the frenzy and pas
sions Of revolutionists, and which has
always been swiftly followed and easi-
