CIR SEYMOUR AND GRAFT.


The heads Of the tickets, incarnate the
issues. Needless now to explain the
points in contest. They are as plain as
last years events. Seymour and Union;
Grant and disunion. Seymour and Sc
curity; Grant and a battle Of races,
already begun in but hall expectation of
his success. Seymour and peace; Grant
and war between the people of third Of
the States. Seymour and economy;
Grant and revenue thievery. Seymour
and the equality Of the three branches
of government; Grant and Congressional
deSpotism, judicial subseryiency, and
Presidential cipherhood. Seymour and
prosperity; Grant and financial ruin.
Seymour and concord; Grant and per-
petual division. Seymour and law; Grant
and arbitrary power. Seymour and the
equality of States; Grant and the eX-
tinction of Statehood, Seymour and
patriotism; Grant and sectionalism. Sey
mour and harmony; Grant and inferno
cine violence. Seymour and honesty;
Grant and Radical roguery. Seymour
and the government; Grant and des-
potism. Seymour and republicanism;
Grant and absolutism.
These are the issues in contrastcd, d.
rect statement Says the New York
World, Seymour represents and ensures
the first; Grant represents and makes
certain the second. On the one side is
patriotism on the other side is the policy
Of hate. On the one side is liberation ;
on the other side is tyranny. On the one
side are ballots; on the other side are bayo-
nets. On the one side is magnanimity on
the other side is prescription. On the
one side IS justice; on the other side is
disfranchisement. On the one side is due
distribution of power; on the other side
is negro supremacy. On the one side is
disorder; on the other side is perpetual
disturbance. On the one size is release
from unequal taxation On the other side
are grinding imposts and eternal taxes.
On the one side Is the written statute
on the other side the broad sword. On
the one side the Constitution on tho
other side fraud, commercial cOnvulsion,
endless civil strife, and the failure of gov
ernment by the people. Seymour and
another President in proper time Grant
transmitted into dictator for life. Such
! are the results.

GOV. SEYMOUR-S CANVASS.

There is no question that the tour OF
Governor Seymour has greatly disc0n-
certed the Radicals. His speeches are
courteous, dignifed, and stasesmanlikc.
lie deals in figures and facts and argu-
ments. lie has addressed the reason Of
his hearers and not their passions. The
tenor Of his speeches have been kindly
aud conciiiatory. lie has endcayorcd to
exercise the demon Of malignant parti-
eanship, and by calm augmentation, to
direct the mind of the country 10 the &C
tual condition Of ailairs-the cause OF its
various and numerous troubles and their
remedy. If Hamilton, Madison and JAY,
writing under the name and in the spirit
of "Pacifcus," had prepared his adj
dresses, they could not resemble more in
tone and matter the papers Of the Fed
cralist." Whatever may be the result Of
the election, Gov. Seymour may rest his
claims 70 the respect and admiration Of
future times, on these speeches. # he
has, in the presence Of the great emery
encv. said q frivolous word. q foolish word.
or an unjust word. we have not seen il.
This course we roncat has excited rIo
anprcbcnsion Of the Radical leaders
They nercciya ifs effect They would
have preferred that he should have
delivered fiery and impassionod ap-
peals. evincing desperation and reckless

THE EXPERIENCE OF ATENSESSEE
BOND-HOLDER

OWN
The Memphis appeal states that a
citizen of that city who has had 100000
of State bonds locked up in New York
for the past ten years, having lost all
faith in the State, has ordered his bonds
to be sold, and declares that never again
will he invest dollar in these securities
until the politi cal affairs of Tennessee
has undergone q change. This is strik
ing commentary upon the financial mans
agement of the Brownlow administration.
What is the experience Of this citizen
who invested his money in the securities
Of his own State He did not pay less
than ninety cents on the dollar for these
bonds perhaps he paid more than that,
in currency that was then equal to gold.
He has now sold out at loss of from
| $4,000 to $4,000 in a currency
which took one dollar and forty eight
cents at the time of the transaction to
buy one dollar in gold. 1t thus appears
that this Tennessee capitalist has lost
more than one-third of his original invest
ment. We are not surprised then that
he has come to the deliberate determine
ton not to again invest in Tennessee
bonds until the political affairs Of the
State have underground change. An. no
man will care to buy our bonds to hold
! them as an investment. For a consider
| able time these securities have occupied
the position on the New York Stock Ex-
change OF fancy stock, only to be bought
and sold by stock gamblers, and hence
the fluctuations constantly occurring in
their prices. 1t was reported few days
ago that parties were buying up the bonds
of the new issue for the purpose of in
vestiDg several millions in the railroads
Of this State, which the New York CAPT
talists seem to understand are to be sold
either this year or early next. Their
purpose is to get law passed by the
Legislature which reassembles in few
days, ordering the sale of such roads as
have failed to pay theintercSt on the bonds
loaned them by the State, as the State holds
a mortgage on the roads to indemnify her
for the loan of the bonds The fact that
large amounts Of the new bonds-that is,
the bonds issued by the Brownlow ad-
ministration-have been purchased in
New York for this purpose, gives color
to the belief that there has been an IN
derstanding in regard to the matter be-
tween these capitalists and the men who
| control affairs in this State The policy
of the Brownlow administration is to
sell out our great arteries of trade and
travel to Northern capitalists, and to i'm
pose such heavy burdens upon the people
that even their homes shall fall into the
hands Of strangers.

MAKING TOOLS OF THE COLORED
MEN

MEN,
Governor Brownlow boldly declared
in message to the Legislature, but
year or two since, that the freedmen
were not sufficiently enlightened to be
entrusted with the exercise of the cleo
tive franchise.
In brief period the Governor and his
friends discovered that inevitable defeat
awaited them, in another election, at the
hands of an indignant people; where
upon they exclaimed with more frank
ness than discretion, that the enfranchise-
ment of the I freedmen was the only
means Of continuing Radicals in office.
The freedmen may not understand
the theory of government, and, in our
judgement, do not; and like the minor,
ought to be kept from the polls until
properly educated to its response
bilities. Yet the majority of them have
intelligence sufficient to comprehend the
shallow purpose of the Radicals. They
showed during the war that they appre-
ciated those who owned them, and with
whom they had been raised, as their best
friends and the masses Of them will
turn still to the substantial white men
Of the country for sympathy in trouble
! and advice when they need it. There is
scarcely a man who, from mercenary
motives, is thus seeking to use the freed.
men, that has the respect or confidence
of an honest negro in this country, and
if the colored men understand their true
interests, they will on next Tuesday de.
clare their emancipation from Radica
slavery, and commit the government to
the hands Of men entitled to their con.
| fidencc.

In another colgmn, we publish card
from Col. joseph Motley, of Lebanon, adj
dressed to the voters of this Congress
sional district, announcing that he is still
a candidate for their sufrages.
Circumstances have prevented Colonel
Motley from making a thorough canvass
of the various. counties of the district,
bat the Democracy may confidently re
pose in him as one worthy Of their sup
port Col. Motley is a gentleman Of fine
attainments, a staunch opponent Of Radi-
calism, and has unquestionable Union
antecedents. If elected, he will be a
valuable addition to the band Of supports
ers Of the Constitution on the floor of the
House Of Representatives, and will
worthily represent the fifth district.
