far better hope of retaining the position
In the Union to which she is entitled
than under man whose political career
has been in nothing tmore cogspicuously
marked than in an utter want and in
trinity of purpose. Independently of all
these considerations I should be greatly
surprised if the people of the United
States were to elect as their chief magis-
trate a man who was making at the Aca-
DENY of Music, on tho 4th of July, 1868,
a speech deficient in all the characters
tics of an elevated lover of country, at the
very hour when Gen. Grant was carrying
the victorious arms of the Union into
Vicksburg, and when thousands of our
fallen countrymen were pouring out their
blood On the plains Of Gettysburg in de-
tense of their homes and the Government
which Mr. Seymour was doing all in his
power to embarrass and discredit.
I am quite willing you should show
this letter to any friend who may take an
interest in my opinion in regard to the
coming election, and [ am particularly
desirous of removing the impression, if it
exists, that | am in favor Of Mr.. Seymour
or the repudiation of any portion OF the
public debt.
[ am, sir, very truly yours,
JOHN A. DIX.

GEN. DIX OF SEYMOUR.

New YORK, Sept. 22.-Gea. Dix,
American minister to France, has sent
the following letter to a friend in this
city It was not written for publication,
but the gentleman to whom it is address
ed has consented to give it to the public:
PARIS, Sept. 4, 1868.
MY DEAR SIR 1t was my hope that
my distance from home would have saved
me from all participation in the political
excitement prevailing there, but | notice
in one Of the newspapers that am heart
aud hand with Mr.. Seymour. L am not
aware Of anything in the present or past
which could rightfully subject me to such
an imputation. I have been acquainted
with Mr.. Seymour for more than quar-
ter Of century lie is an amiable gen
tleman Of unexceptionable private char
acter and respectable talents, but you
know as we'll as I, that he has not a SIN
gle qualification for the successful execu-
ton Of the high official trust to which he
is nominated, and he is especially deficient
10 that frmness Of purposes which in crit
10 ! emergencies is the safeguard against
public disorder and calamity He has
been twice, at different times, Governor
of the state Of New York, and he
has in neither case had the talent or tact
to keep the democratic party Of the state
| together more than two years. / should
regard his election at this juncture, when
steadiness Of purpose, decision and self
control are so much needed, as one Of the
greatest calamities that could befall this
country. Moreover, he has been put in
| nomination by convention which has
openly declared the purpose Of those it
| represents to pay the greater part Of the
public debt contracted to preserve the
Union, in deprecated paper. Such a
measure would, IN my judgment, be
palpable violation of the public faith,
pledged under circumstances which should
have been binding on all honorable men.
Mr.. Seymour has made public speeches
to show that it is our duty to pay the
debt in specie. In accepting the nomina-
ton to the Presidency he accepts the de-
claration that it ought to be paid in pa
per. I know nothing SO humiliating in
the history of American politics as this
tergiversation. 1t was perhaps not unfit
that Mr. Seymour, after presiding in
1864, over the Chicago Convention,
which declared the war failure, should
preside over the convention Of 1868, in
which proposition to diseredit debt
contracted to carry On the war was receiv-
ed with tremendous cheering, and that
he should be the chosen instrument to
execute this act Of national turpitude. |
do not believe that the wishes or opinions
of the great body of the democratic party
are expressed in these proceedings.
They have nothing in common with the
statesman-like view of policy and the
high sense Of national honor which guild
ed the party when Martin Van Buren,,
William L. Marcy, Silas Wright Lewis
Cass and Stephen A. Douglas were among
its members. | see but one source of
safety for the country under existing cir
cumstances, and that is, the election of
| General Grant.
On his decision of character, good
sense, moderation and disinterested pat
r..otism ! believe the South will bave a

THE WELSH.

From the mountains of Snowdan anc
Berwyn, the gardens of Glamorganshire
the shores of Caernarvon and Caermar
then bays, the land Of the Cymri have
come among US the brave and generous
Welsh. In prehistoric times, the Celtic
Kymry took possession of the south Of
England, and the Cunarie, or Welsh, hold
it to-day. The inroads of all other
nations have been successfully resisted.
The Romans, Saxons and Normans at
tackled these brave people in their noun
tain Businesses. The Independence of
Wales yielded only to internal dissensions
and English deceit-a deceit which is
perpetuated in the title of the frst-born
of royalty.
Perhaps there are no immigrants here
who so readily adapt themselves to repub-
lcan institutions as the descen ndants Of
those who, under the leadership of Owen
Glendower, resisted English tyranny.
They bring the wealth of honest industry.
the skill of masters in mining, and that
intelligence which secures entire adapt
ability. Peacefully and unobstrusively
they settle down near the doors of
natures treasure houses, and their pres
ence is soon known by the silent trans
formations their hands accomplish. The
wealth that is disemboweled is their best
card of introduction, and their earliest
passport to confidence and favor. We
have it from the lips of one of the best
thinkers of Wales-since become min
ister Of the Gospel-who cast his fortunes
among his countrymen IN this state, that
the first thing he did after securing pos
ition as workman in slate quarry, was to
look about him to see where he should
cast his political lot. "The wealth, in
telIigence and refinement of the Republi-
can party" said he, ''would have decided
me; but when | saw all those qualities so
unselfshly thrown into the scale of pro-
gress; and, above all, when [ saw them
devoted to the perpetuation of free insti-
tutions and the amelioration of mankind,
who could hesitate for a moment to
choose? My mother creed had met an
embrace in the new land"
This appears to be the ratiocination of
every We!shman who becomes AN American
citizen. They leave their native land to
better their conditions, and are not slow
in perceiging that afhliation with the party
which owes its prestige to aristocratic in
dolence, the fruit of unrequited toll, would
be fatal to al their aspirations.
Hence Welshmen are, almost without
exception, Republicans. They choose
we'll, Jas their independence and prosperi-
ty attest. Out of gratitude for their es-
cape from monarchy, they do not find it
in their hearts to join the enemies Of the
human race here-Phi7adeyphia Press.

LITTLE THINGS.
BY ALICE CARY.

Shall we strike bargain, Fate?
And wilt thou to this agTee2
Take whatever things are great,
Leave the little things to me
Take the EAGLE. proud and dark,
Broad Of shoulders, strong Of wing;
Leave the robin, leave the lark,
IT'S The little birds that sing!
Take the lakewood, towering up,
With its top against the skies;
Leave one little acorn cup
Therein all the forest lies.
Take the murnurous fonntain-aeads,
Take the river, winding slow,
But about ny garden-beds
Leave the dew-drops, small and low.
Winding waves are fine to view,
Sweet the fountains si!yer,can;
But the little drop Of dew
Holds the sunshine, after ell.
Take the sea, fhe great wide sea,
White with many a swelling sail
Leave the little stream to ne,
Gliding silent through the vale.
Take the palace all ashine,
With its lofty halls and towers;
Let the little house be mine,
With it's door-yard grass and flowers.
Take the lands, the royal lands,
All with parks and orchards bright;
Leave to ne the little hands
Clinging closely morn and night.
Ah, for once, be kindly, Fate,
To my harmless plan agree;
Take whatever things are great,
Leave the little things 10 me!

Seymour, in speech made

-Horatio Seymour, in speech made
few days before his nomination, used the
following language, which We commend
to the attention of Mr.. Pendleton and his
followers as fitting theme for discourse
Gall the funds Of saving banks and
life insurance companies are not put in
government bonds, but they hold an
amount a0hich eooazd cripple or ruin them
if the bonds acre paid IN deJased paper
If we add the trusts of the widows and

are interested in government bonds who
are capitalists, who are compulsory owners
