The seymour RECORD.

When the Tweedle Hall convention
was held in New York, in January
A. D. 1851, James Buchanan was
President of the United States. and
Congress was controlled by the Dem
ocratic party. State after State in the
South were holding conventions for
the purpose Of Withdrawing from the
Union. And the great question ofthe
hour among rebels and there synpa-
thizers was, how shall we render sec
cession a success, and among loyalists
the equally great question arose for
solution how shall this instruction
be suppressed. A convention was
called in Washington to effect a COM
promise and save the Union. The
Unionists of that convention were
prepared to grant any reasonable re-
quest so that the Union might be pre-
served. To them entrusted as to what
should be done, the reply of
the rebel element which had the
control of the entire South, was, give
us a piece of paper, pen and ink and
tell us to write our own terms and it
shall be nothing short of eternal and
entire separation. The Union must
and shall be desOlved. Now what
project does that truly loyal man Gov
ernor Seymour offer for the settlement
of our difficulties, at the Tweedle Hall
convention in January, 1851. In his
speech there he says: "Let us also
see if successful coercion by the North
is less revolutionary than successful
secession by the South. Shall we pre-
vent revolution by being foremost in
overthrowing the principle of our gov
eminent and all that makes it valua-
BILE to our people and distinguishes it
among the nations of the earth?"
Up to this time nothing had been
thought of except to maintain the
Union by force of arms if they must,
by peaceful means if they could. All
peaceful means had been tried and
failed, and the loyal heart was turn
ing to the last resort, but to be told by
Governor Seymour that successful
coercion was as revolutionary on the
part of the North as successful seces-
sion on the part ofthe South" That
to coerce the South the North would
be foremost in Overthrowing the
principle of our government and all
that makes it valuable to u people
and distinguishes it among the nations
of the earth" Then what does the
Governor suggest as aremedy for our
political ills? Two months later he
says to Judge Charles H. Ruggles that
"the best thing for the North to do is
to seek admission into the Southern
Confederacy under the Montgomery
constitution"
In September, 1862, Mr.. Lincoln is
sues his proclamation of Emancipa-
ton, after which we have Seymour de-
claringthat "if the Union could not be
restored except by emancipation, then
it ought not to be restored" During
the entire period of the war, in his
speeches and messages, we find more
of criticism of the government and its
policy of furnishing rebels of the
North and South than ought else, and
never a word of commentator.

GeneraI Grant.

Our citizens learned, last Tuesday
morning, that Generals Grant, Sher-
man and Sheridan, would be at the
BrownviIle Depot of the G. B. & st.
Joe. r. Re, at 11.3O A. NJ, and a host
ofRepubIicans and two Democrats en-
,barked upon Capt. Barret's ferry, and
were, in ashorft time, landed ON The
~ciassic shores" of Scott City, NO.
whence they were conveyed by Omni-
bus to the depot, arriving thirty min
utes ahead of time.
After dinner, at the Fisher House,
the crowd ranged itself around the de-
pot, seeking comfort in an atmosphere
ranging from 95o to 1O50 in the shade,
and from the jokes, tough yarns, and
witicisms passing round, we should
judge, enjoying the situation.
AT last the shout starts, "the cars
are coming :" the whistle shrieks,
and the cars are here. The conductor
informed the crowd the Generals were
I'm the rear ar. The editor of the Id
Vertiser-makingext extra good time-was
the first to gain the presence" and
shake hands with Generals Grant,
Sherman, Sheridan, Harneyand Blair.
By this time the cars were literally
crammed. The Generals arose and
stood the hand shaking admirably, APP
parently enjoying the pleasure of the
meeting asmueh as we. But soon the
whistle calls as off from the pleasant
interview; we leave the cars, which
start amid the cheers andshouts of the
crowd, bearing the future President on
toward his future home-the White
House.

The Democratic Platform Re-
undated,


Section First, 1--WE demand the I'M
mediate restoration of all the states to
their rights in the Union, &c"
Section Sixth of the Democratic
Platform, says, 1--WE demand the re-
duction Of the standing army and
navy. The abolition of the Freed
mems Bureau"
Congress has had a bill before it fol-
the immediate" admission of the
Southern States " to their rights in the
Union" and on its final passage, and
on each preliminary vote thereon, the
Democratic members voted solid
against the restoration, " and every
Republican voted for it. President
johnson, whom they declare, in then
platform. sis entitled" for opposing
Congress, ito the gratitude of the
whole American people, and on behal1
of the Democratic party, we tender
him our thanks for his patriotic effort;
in that regard" vetoed the bill for the
restoration" of the five States "tC
their rights in the Union" And the
Republicans, unaided by single Dem.
ocrat, but opposed by every one, voted
for such restoration" and the bill
became a law, "the President and the
Democrats to the contrary, notwith.
standing"
Again /: Congress has had a bill be-
fore it to reduce the regular army from
ifty-three regiments, its presentcOunt
to thirty regiments, all told, and on itc
final passage in the. Senate, twenty
eight Republicans voted for the reduc'
ton, and none against, and four Dem.
ocrats voted against its reduction, and
none for it. Thirty Senators were alb
sent. Thus, in very important partic'
ular, the Democratic Platform has
been repudiated in the "house of its
friends" Whatshall we say then. Arr
the real sentiments of the Democratic
party SO odious to the country that
they dare not seek to maintain them
before the American people, and so sci
forth a set of principles which they
will not maintain, but when pushed
to the wall, go for wholesale repudia-
ton of the platform. Are Democrats
reduced to circumstances so straighten
that they seek to do indirectly what
they know they cannot obtain au-
thority to do directly. No wonder
then that the judgment of the Ameri-
can people to-day is that the Demo
cratic leaders cannot be trusted. Let
justice, right, liberty, morality and
good government march on, then, in
spite of their opposition if they must.
