Gov. Seymour and Government Bonds

The speech delivered by Horatio Sey-
mour al the New York convention accord,
with his reputation as a prudent aud trust
worthy statesman He does not propose to
resist wrong by wrong, to combat error by
error, TO meet the violation OF one law by
the violation of another, or to offset One
sort OF reIudiation 10y another sort OF repu-
dlatlon. He proposes to maintain the pub
lie faith, to redeem the national credit, to
restore the constitutional currency aud to
pay the natianal debt, not by creating a
new aud vaGeieSs currency, but by giving
the value Of gold to our present currency
through IL return to economical government
under the constitution. FROM Do,hing
that Is ated In Gov. Seymour speech ii,
reported by telegraph, does 1t appear thar
he differs essentially on questions OF tnance
with Mr.. PcudietOn or any other Demo
cratic statesman. Mr. Pendleton comedies
that the restoration Of the government 10
Democratic hands will so restore the credit
Of the government as to give to greenback 5
the value Of gold. So does Gov. Seymour,
Mr.. Pendleton argues that the substitution
of greenbacks for the notes of nationai
banks will reduce the taxation OF the coun-
try twenty millions per annum. We do
not understand that Gov Seymour dlssents
from this position The vital question
with the people is whether they viii elect
a national administration which Will so
husband our national resources as to make
the payment of the dept convenient and
possible The question for the bondhol-
dcrs is whether they will continue to up
hold an administration of public affairs
which renders the payment Of the debt mel
ther convenient nor possible. There is
safety and protection for all in the restora-
ton of constitutional government through
out the Union There is repud iation and
bankruptcy for all, if radical usurpation,
corruption and extravaganza are to con
tinue. The defeat Of radcaism reduces
taxation while it pays the debt. The sue
cess OF radicaism is the reputation Of The
debt with 10 relief from taxation. --hl.

sued in time to allow delegates to be elect
ed, to attend from this and Kewaunee
counties. We were invited to take a seat
in the convention, as delegates from Mani

upon the ground that We dislike to assume
power not regularly delegated to US. We
gave the convention this, as our reason for
not voting with it, upon the choice of a
candidate for the Office OF Circuit Judge,
at the same time recommending as the
choice Of all Democrats, whose views We
had obtained, the nomination Of the Hon.

TFrom the New York World

In view of the fact that the national
democratic convention will hold Its session
In the new Tammany hall now In process
of construction, for the purpose OF nomlaa-
ting a president and vice president vi the
United States, considerable amount of in
terest is attached to the progress Of the
building. The front is up ald the roof
nearly finished The building presents an
imposing appearance on Fourteenth street,
and fills the unsightly gap made by the
destruction of the medical college, With It's
elegant and lofty brick front, handsomely
trimmed with marble. The location is an
excellent one the best that could have
been selected for the city. In the vicinity OF
the Academy of Music, Stelnway hall,
WaIack' S theatre, and other places OF
amusement. The street Is very wide and
nayigable one. Bryants Ministries will be
in full blast underneath, on the first floor,
during the convention, 80 that the delegates
will not have to walk far, when the labors
of the day are done, to amuse their minds
The convention will commence It's session
on the 4th OF July, 1863, at = clock pre-
cisely. and it is expected that about 900
DELEGATES viii be present In the conven
ton, besides the delegations OF outside or
CARNATIONS, and clubs which will be repre-
S .uted from each state in the Union. The

ami accommodation by any similar one IN
the country From the first story to the
roof, in height some fifty feet, ia feet In
width by 100 feet in length, the most pew
eriully voiced democratic tribune will have
room TO swell his lungs and speak to the

proved principles of acoustics, and the ros
from, chairs, desks, and furniture OF the

Portable patterns. There will te large an'
lofty committee rooms contiguous to the

Mexico amounts to between eighty and
ninety millions Of dollars; and the interes,

With order strictly maintained, and a
wise and liberal system of taxation, cacu-

products of the country III the markets of
the world and to encourage the production
of the staples in which Mexico excels, the
present Government can, without doubt,
in short time re-establish industry and
