he should feel the need of carrying such
adocument, and in all probability he would
be denounced as an imposter. The in
tegrity of the man who would preach
the gospel, must be such that not even
the shadow of suspicion can. fall upon it /;

Wesadyise our democratic friends to
fold this little paper up and put it in their
pockets, for it proves altogether too much.
The question arises, why were not dis
patches sent to Cows. Andrews, Curtin,
and Morton, and to Gems Grant and Sher-
men, lauding their patriotism ? Let US
suppose for moment that Gen. Grant
should bring out a certificate of his loyal
ty given him by President Lincoln, and
should blazon it through the land as an
inducement to gain votes There is not
a man in the country who would not re-
gard it as most absurd and uncalled for
proceeding. Why is not this the case
with Gov Seymour? -u
But if the democrats are bound to
prove Gov. S ymour's claim to loyalty,
we suggest that they make clean job of
it and clear up his whole record. Among
other things we should like to have them
explain what he meant, when he said in
his speech of Oct. &c, 1861, that "lf Sav-
cry must be abolished to save this Union,
then the people Of the South should be
allowed to withdraw themselves from the
Government )" also, when he said he pro.
posed to have decision as to what kind
of a government this was, before sending
more troops to defend it; also, when he
e1ultingly asked III a speech after GER
tain great disaster to our arms, "where
are your victories now % We shoald also
like to know what reason JEFF. Davis had
to put SO much confidence in Gov. Sey-
mour as to send a Commissioners to treat
with him. in regard to carrying the State
fNew York out of the Union. We dc
mot. say that satisfactory replies can not be
given to these questions, but it puzzles
Us greatly to make such record appear
consistent with true patriotism, and We
should like to see a satisfactory solution Of
the difficulty.

The following extract is from a letter

Boston 4duertsser,
I have never been a. Chase man. I
have for years, as leader in public at
fairs deemed him, like his greenbacks, as
promising more on the face than they are
worth in gold. While the New York
Independent was lauding him as demi-
god, and tie New York Tribune was US
ing his name to obscure the prospects of
Grant, [ heartily and openly disagreed
with both Of them, for, l thoroughly liked
Grant and thoroughly distrustod Chase
He is splendid man to look upon but a,
poor man to lean upon. Ambition lifts
some men towards things noble and good;
makes them large and generous. Other.
mems ambition .blurs the sharp lines and
distinctions between right aud wrong,
and leaves them, in the eagerness Of our
selfish desires, to become prey of bad
men. have for years felt that Mr..
Chase's ambition was consuming the bet
ter elements of his nature. elasl 5asfa5
I have liked Grant from the first
Solid, uupretentious, straightforward, apt
to succeed and not spoiled BY success,
wise in discerning men, skilful in using
them, with the rare gift (wh CHI Wash
ington had in an eminent degree) of wis
dom in getting wisdom from other mems
councils--I confidently anticipate, that,
great as his military success has been, be
will hereafter be known even more favor
ably for the wisdom of his civil admins
tratlon.
The seven-fold humiliations and recan-
tations through which Chase was requir-
ed to 60 for Democratic nomination on
y to see the smiling Seymour looking
benignly down upon his lost estate, has
no PARALLEL except in the immortal his
tory of Reinek= Fuchs. There Will now
be no third candidate between Grant and
Seymour. It will be fair fight between
rugged honesty and plausible craft.

generally improved 10 appearance Dur
ing the eight years of its existence it. has
been subject to many changes The first
number was issued the year before the
war, and during the four or FIVE turbulent
years which followed, it changed hands
several times, and two or three intervals
occurred in which its publication was
suspended altogether BIT for the last
three years no week has passed in which
the REPUBLICAN has not been furnished
regularly to its subscribers. During hat
time it has steadily gained ground until
now it is firmly. established and has be-
fore 1t, as we believe, prosperous future.
We have also to announce a change in
the proprietorship Of the raper-Mr. J.
Il. Reyes having recently purchased Col.
ellis entire interest, has associated with
him Mr.. E. D. Coe as Joint Editor and
Proprietor. The REPUBLICAN will con,
tinue to be in the future, as in the past,
the advocate of radical Republican prin-
ciples. The Issues before the country
are of vital importance to its welfare, and
il regard to them We shall occupy. no
middle ground nor favor any compromise,
We believe that our national safety and
prosperity depend in great measure up
on the success Of the Republican party
at the ensuing election, and SO believing,
We shall labor ,unremittingly with all the
means in our power to ensure that result.
Years ago.we enlisted "for the war; to
fight and crush out the Rebellion, and we
propose to fight it out On that ine,r so long
as the monsters spirit exists or any of its
vile progeny continue to infest the body
polite. In discussing The various questions
which may arise, while We shall always
seek to be fair, candid and courteous, we
shall! yet be positive and out spoken Il
is no time to obscure sense with soft words
and tender footed phrases, and we intend
that no one shall misunderstood our posi-.
ton through any such cause.
We send several copies Of our paper tc
persons who have not ordered it, but
whose names re should. like to see upon
our list. We would also say to our Ole
subscribers that our subscription list Is
by no means as large i should be, and
that it might easily be doubledif each o.
them would do what lies in bis power tc
add to it. While we intend to keep ur
| the interest Of the news and miscellaneous
department., we shall, during. the cam

ic man, with. no feelings IN common with
the masses Of the people, He has five
times been candidate for Governor of
bis own State, and was beaten three times,
and every one ofthe five times ran behiad
his ticket as -atsuar.. 81
In 1880 he was defeat9d for Governor,
and ran 1861 votes behind his ticket
Ia 1852 he was elected, but ran 2,026

In 1854 he was defeated and received
