Our Candidates.

Of Horatlo Seymour, as a can
didate for the Presidency, it is al
most superhuous for us to speak
eulogistically. We had regarded
him as out of the contest by bis
own withdrawal; but since the
honor has been forced upon him by
the unanimous acclaim of the
convention, his acceptance of the
duties of the position, in Difference
to the popular demand, will only
present the world with another
instance of his self-sacrifcing de-
votion to the interests of his coun-
try. Horatio Seymour is states
man in the largest sense of the
word. He is not one of your viii
lage politicians thrown to the
surface by fortuitous events,
whose wisdom is measured by the
profundity of his silence, and
who is so absolutely destitute of
political knowledge that his very
ignorance is proclaimed to be his
most admirable quality. On the
contrary, Mr.. Seymour is well ex-
perienced in political life, and is
thoroughly versed in political lore.
He has served his country with
fidelity and capacity in distinguish
ed positions. He is prompt, an
eloquent, and a popular public
speaker. He is an intellectual
writer of rare and solid ability
He is a gentleman of cultivated
mind, accomplished manners,
cool, calm judgment, acute rea-
soning powers, unusual sagacity,
thorough democratic sentiment,
and unquestionable patriotism
He would make a President of the
United States who, in calling a.
bout him the ableSt constitutional
advisers, would not be compelled
to depend entirely upon their
views for either his course or his
principles. He would make a
chief magistrate of the Union whom
other rulers would respect for his
dignity as we'll as for his integrity.
They might not laugh at his e.
quivocal jokes as they did at
Lincoln's, but they would accept
his opinions with esteem, and
honor his convictions for their
sincerity. And, as opposed to
General Grant, who has no quail
fcation whatever for the execu-
tive seat of the nation, Horatio
Seymour ought to succeed beyond
a peradventure. We may indeed
add to this that he cannot fail to
succeed, provided the American
people, on election day, will only
vote discriminating-will only
vote in accordance with their bet
ter judgment instead of being
led away by an admiration for
military heroism. OF Mr.. Blair
we need merely say that he is a.
military gentleman of western
fame, and a man of excellent
mental powers besides. He is as
much superior to Grant, as a man
of mind, as Seymour is to Col
fax, and we do not know that we
could more nicely or more accu-
rately balance the respective mer-
its of the opposing candidates.

Civil War.

OohSiCco oCCulS uCtcIulluCO "
lnaugurate civil war in the South.
ern States. A bill has passed the
Senate distributing 1000 stands
of arms and a battery to each con-
gressional district in the South
During the discussion in the House,
the renegade rebel Duncan" Stokes
said that
sunless the people have arms in
the Southern States, the Union
men, white and black, will be o.
verrun, and | say that it is the du-
ty of Congress to stay here until
this measure is put through. My
people are expecting every mo-
ment that General Forrest and his
rebel Democratic crew will COM
mence war upon them. They are
entitled to 10000 stand of arms,
and the requisition was made for
that number by the Governor, but
only 1000 stand of arms were fur
nished, and we to-day demand the
other 5000 stand of arms. This
is a matter of life and death to us.
[ am satisfied Of the fact that we
will need these arms at the South
at a very early day. The war
cry has gone forth, the rebels say
they will rule the country or ex-
terminate the colored Union men,
and for one l am disposed to meet
them.
"Mr Washburne, of Illinois, had
one word to say to the gentleman
from Tennessee. | have no doubt,
he said, of the grievances and per-
ilous state of things which exist in
the South, and which the gentle
man from Tennessee refers to, but
the question, and it is one of the gra-
vest Importance ever thrown upon
us, is whether that state of things
is to be remedied by sending arms
into those States. Sir, | believe
that in most of the States not ten
days after those arms are sent
there to the negroes they will be
in the hands of the rebels.
"Mr. Stokes,in reply to that last
remark, said, in his State they had
already drawn 1000 stand of arms.
and none of them had gone into
the hands of the rebels.
"Mr. Washburne--I do not al.
lude to that State but to other
States, and tell gentlemen to be-
ware before they pass this meas
ure, lest it is not an incentive to
civil war and insurrection in these
States. Great excitement. l now
yield to the venerable gentleman
from North Carolina, Mr.. Boyden,
who wishes to say few words,
and ask the attention of the House
to what he shall say.
"Mr. Boyden--Mr. Speaker, |
am alarmed at the condition of the
country. 1t is proposed to send
arms to North Carolina, that the
people may use them against each
other. Great God! we cannot
afford to fight each other. Keep
away your arms. Do nothing to
incite our people; but do every
thing in your power to assuage
them and heal the excitement
there. We want no arms. /
warn the House if arms are sent
there we will be ruined. We can
not live there. If we need any
thing in the way of arms in Gods
name send an army of the United
States there, but do not arm neigh
Dor against neighbor. There new
er was a more unwise measure than
this proposition to arm one class Of
our people against the other"

Probably.

The Cincinnati Commercial is not disposed
to shed tears, and thereby needlessly
moisten its cambria, over the probable de-
feat of the Constitution in Alabama, just
submitted to vote by Black and Tan
convention. 1t accepts the situation with
a complacency that is somewhat surpris-
ing, taking into consideration how earnest
ly it labored in the Radical vineyard
in this State to fasten Negro Suffrage on
our people. 1t would have Congress do
likewise. 1t even goes SO far as to say that
"a continuation! of Military Government
in the South is preferable to Black States."-
1t thinks the Southern Whites would so
regard it. Probably the Southern Whites
prefer Military rule to Negro rule. The
world over the Whites would so feel, and
hence the Southern Whites would not fur
nish an exceptional case. Why the necessity
of Military Government in the South? 1t was
instituted and is maintained there for no
other reason than to convert the South into
'.Black States" If the Government shall
abandon the folly of making "Black
States'' out of the South, there will be no
necessity for Military Government there.

To Preserve the Purity of Elec-
lions.
AS Senator Golden is the only member
of the Legislature to whom the Democracy
of this part of southern Ohio can look to
redress wrongs and initiate remedies for
existing evils, we call his attention to the
following article which appeared in the
Banner of October II. All can rest assured
that law embodying the points of the
following article will be received in this
county by the Democrats with unbounded
applause:
1--WE trust. now that we have a Demo-
cratic Legislature in Ohio, we may have a
law enacted to preserve the purity of elec-
tions. The Radicals are always on the
alert to cOnJrive some plan or device in
order to distinguish their tickets from 9TH
ers, so that they can spot the men who have
the Independence to vote their own senti-
ments.
On last election day, they had in this
county a cross barred institution on the
back of their tickets, which we called the
mark of Cain, but we believe they called it
the Democratic Grave Yard ;" which they
had the misfortune to be buried in them
selves. We suppose they had forg gotten the
passage of Scripture which says: He that
diggeth pit for his neighbor, shall surely
fall into it, So it proved on the sth day
of October last. But to prevent any
unfair advantages being taken by any
party in the future. let us have law to
provide small envelopes for the entire
State, and require each voter to cast his
ballot in sealed envelope. without any
visible marks by which one ballot may be
distinguished from another, and let the
penalty be forfeiture of the ballot by
every one who violates the law. Let petit
tions to this effect be extensively circulated
and signed by the people, calling the at
tention of the Legislature to this impor-
tant matter; and il we can succeed in ac-
the people of Ohio will then begin to feel
that they are freemen indeed. The LABOR
ing man can then walk up in the face OF
his employer and vote his own opinion, in
stead of those of his employer, aud there
will be none to molest or make him
afraidn

their adoption, in the hope of securing
Union and peace. But no sooner

supplements, one after another. came in
quick succession to disturb the solidity OF
that trust. The more the country lost con-
| fidence the more new tests we applied to
its fidelity. Popular conviction seemed to
be regarded as subject to acts of legislation
which have grown in multiplicity and force
as the general mind has fallen off. At
length, as a consummation OF this novel
Congressional strategy, the reconstruction
laws are declared to be implacable, and a
system which, in order to carry the coun-

Nice Times Down South,

From the Mobile (Ala.) Tribune of the
5th instant, we get the following:
A WAY Of SrUFrING BALLOT Boxes
The majority of the negroes who voted
yesterday, do not belong to this city, but
came from Baldwin and other counties. On
presenting themselves to vote, the white
, livered Rock Scorpion Hurter would ask
them if they had registered. ssYes," was
the reply. "Have you voted?" 'No."
"Where do you reside ?" ~, but here's
my certificate to show that have not vot-
county registrar that he had registered but
not voted, the Ethiopian was allowed to
deposit ballot. To day he will return to
the county from which he came and vote
there. and thus is this farce carried on.
At least three-fourths of these ignorant
negroes who voted Yesterday have no hab-
itation in Mobile. They have their certiti-
| Gates, and are to be taken from one place
| to another and voted.
The committees of the Democratic Club
of the city are at the polls constantly and
are doing good service. The order of Col.

remaining time devoted to this tragical
farce will pass off as quietly. Col. Dimon

and determined to preserve order.

DOM PIATT felt called upon to explain
the result of the election in the 9Th Con-
gressional District and this he did in his
way, in letter to the Neo York Tribune,
dated February Sd. He ascribes General
BEATrY's election to the fact that he took
ground in favor of the Greenback theory.
He says:
''The men making up the Republican
party do not propose or wish for repudia-
tion. They mean, if possible, to pay every
mill of our public Indebtedness, But they
will not consent to see the Indebtedness
they hold, in the shape OF greenbacks, de-
preciated, while that of the bondholder Is
kept at par. The Government bound itsell
in honor to make the greenback equal to
suffer, will not consent to having the bonds
paid in gold. If you can resume specie
payment, well and good. If not, we will
all go down together. This is what they
mean when they cry out against one cur
rency for the people, and another for the
bondholders."
That's the way the people feel. He like

the Democratic party. No man owns them
