Seymour in 1851.

We find the following in the Vermont
Jomna/. The writer has always been q
sound Democrat, but since the nomination
in July. he thinks the party went hack r
on him. Oar Vermont soldiers remember
ing the pains taken by the State authorities
ami their own officers that every one should
have an opportunity To vote the ticket of his
choice. will not fail to observe the contrast
between such fairness and the trickerv Of
the . reluctant" Seymour and his friends
ME EDITOR I desire to call your attcn-
ton t. a circumstance that occurred i'm lN64.
when Horatio Seymour was Governor of
New York. that will illustrate the deep in
terest he took in obtaining the votes OF the
New ork State soldiers.
In October. 1854, when my regiment was
in camp ut Baton Rouge, La, the l4th y.
Y. Cavalry, we received Mt Rcgimcutal
Headquarters, box Of the necessary blank
aifidavits, &c. from the Democratic Secre-
tarv of State, %. r. Floyd Jones, believe
accompanied by large box of ballots, that
they we're kind enough TO furnish. Tho bal
lots were both for Electoral and State cam
didates, but every one Of the Electoral
tickets We're the Mcclellan ones. and all the
State tickets were headed by the name of
Horatio Seymour
| was Adiutant Of the Regiment, and to
every soldier, (if voter,) that desired to
vote that ticket, | administered the oath and
filled out his affidavit: but to all " no desired
to vote for the Lincoln Electoral ticket | had
to explain that we had no ballots, it being
too late to order them.
Soldiers arc now appealed 70 again, to vote
for the same candidate but now fortunate
", we have a choice of ballots
Remembering as | do, the cheers that
were in Stonewall Jackson's corps, the
9TH of November, 1862. over Seymour
election, and the loud and hearty response
of the mob in New York, To his speech in
the City Hall Park, to both Of which | was
a witness, | think that a soldier, anxious
to maintain the same cause now for which /
fought then, | cannot hesitate in deciding
whether Horatio Seymour shall receive my
vote.
[ remember that when my Colonel, Abram
Bassford, received his commission ut Albany.
from the hands Of Governor Seymour, in the
summer of 1864. the Governor, reading the
commission = The State of New York by
| the grace Of God, free and independent,
sarcastically commented upon ii by adding,
. Yes and only by the grace Of God - Was
that patriotic and encouraging remark to
a brave soldier who had spent three years in
! his country's service?
| bear this testimony the more willingly
as had been looking to the New York Con
vention, for the candidate whom | should
support in this campaign.
Yours truly,

The Camilla Riots.

Late accounts from Georgia make the riot
at Camilla seem more cruel than. did the first
reports. Between thirty or forty. were killed
or wounded, all freedmen but three. 1t is
not claimed that they were doing or threat
ened to do anything contrary TO law, or that
would disturb IN any way public tranquility.
While assembling peaceably to attend a
political meeting they were attacked, dis
persed and hunted down by men and dogs in
the most brutal manner. Numbers were
dragged from places of temporary conceal
ment and killed in cold blood. In extent and
fendish malignity t..surpasses the New Or
leans massacre and is an expressive common
tarv ON the effect Of the expulsion Of the
colored members from the legislature of
Georgia
Below we copy some particulars given by
a correspondent of the Tribune;
The sheriff asked that in Difference to
the wish of the citizens, Mr.. Pierce would
not enter the town. Mr. Pierce answered
that as he was violating no law OF the country,
and no right OF the people, he would speak
in Camilla. He thought lie had right to
do So Upon that the sheriff and his posse,
all being armed and mounted, dashed off to
town.
Mr.. Pierce, in a buggy. with Mr.. Putney,
proceeded towards the town, followed at
some distance by the rest of the party With
these latter WAS plantation wagon, drawn
by four mules, containing the colored band,
consisting OF two drummers and a tier.

The Revolution in Spain
\ REPUELICA,

The revolution IN Spain seems TO be of far
more importance than the petty pronuca-
meatos, that are 50 frequent in that country
as To excite no great comment. The politi-
cally lnlammable state of almost the whole
Of Europe, VIII cause every movement to Re
watched with deep anxiety 1t is disaster
to the Emperor Of France since he bad just
formed treaty of closer alliance with the
Spanish government.
At last accounts nearly every man of note.
Disguised by the dissolute life Of the Queen
and the misgoyernment with which their
country is cursed. seemed to be joining the
insurgents. Gen. Prm.i who has proved
himself to be Il skilllul statesman as well as
a good soldier, and who was cxilod last year
for undertaking similar movement, heads
the party of progress. The navy has
joined hun, and large fleet Is daily expected
at Barcelona the chief commercial city of the
kingdom. which still holds out for the Queen.
The royal troops sent against the revolution
its are deserting by whole battalions- Al
together it looks rs if the last Bourbon dy
nasty Of Europe must 20 down and the
Queen of Spain be left in fact, she is in
etiquette, without Leg to stand on.

Re-snion of Vermont Officers.

The Fifth Annual Re MON o. Vermont
Officers viii be held at Montpelier on Thurs
day, the 22d day Of October next. The mem
bers of the Re MON Society, and all Yer
mont officers Of the army and navy. are re
spectfuIly invited to attend. The usual pre-
liminarv meeting for the election Of officers
and other business will be held at the Court
House, at 10 O'Clock \. NJ The Grafton will
be delivered by Gen. z. 7. Washburn, at
the Hall of the House of Representatives,
during the evening
In issuing this call it has been thought
proper to state briefly the history of the or
ganization. its aims and its objects. In the
autumn of 1864 a few officers and ex-othcers
issued call for a meeting to be holden at
Montpelier, for the purpose of rendering Il
complimentary dinner TO Gen. George j
Stannard, then barely recovered from the eff
fccts Of his wounds received at the storming
Of Fort Harrison
About seventv-five officers assembled in re
Spouse to that call, and formed permanent
organization. Since that time meetings of
the Society have annually been held, and the
membership has increased to about three
hundred; a large majority of whom have
been present at its meetings.
The object of this association is simply to
afford an opportunity TO renew through So
cial intercourse the ties of friendship formed
/ IN the lelu; 10 draw Il renewed INSPIRATION
/ from the * touch of Il comrade' s elbow, and
the sight Of the shot-rcnt standards under
which we fought, and so many of our heroes
fell and to keep green and sacred in our
hearts the memories of the Five Thousand
who gave their lives for the cause.

L am quite willing that you should show
this letter to any friends who may take an
interest in my opinion in regard to the COM
ing election and [ am particularly desirous

The above letter strikes the Democratic
party between wind and water Gen. Dix
has all his life long been prominent and
honOred Democrat, an intimate friend of
such men Gov. Marcy and Silas Wright.
No man living has had better oppor tunities
for thoroughly knowing Horatio Seymour,
and no one is better qualified to form cor
rect judgment of his abilities. Aside from
the pernicious platform on which he stands,
Gen Dix declares that he is utterly wanting
in the qualities that would make him sue
cessfui head Of a party or government.
This letter coming from the statesman
who gave the order 80 If any man hauls
down the American flag, shoot him on the
spot; - from the soldier who dealt summari-
~ with the 50 friends of Gov Seymour in
1868, is a most forcible and eloquent appeal
for Grant The whole country will thank
the old soldier for his brave, loyal words. 1t
is but few days since influential Democrat
ic journals declared him to be hearty in sup
port of their ticket; we hope they will not
forget to announce their mistake.

The Legislature.

Election day is close at hand The Capt.
toll Is being furnished up for the reception Of
the wisdom and virtue of the State; the
hoteI-keepers are pestered by disappointed
aspirants for the best room in the house and
above the thunder even of the presidential
campaign may be heard the clamor Of those
who have axes TO grind at home We expect
the House Will organize promptly; the battle
is often fought beforehand, but if we under
stand the feeling Of the people, we shall have
this year. nothing worse than light skirm-
ISL For the speakership the name of Gen.
Geo. W. Grandey of Vergennes, is mentioned
very generally and favorably throughout the
State. He is always courteous, prompt and
dgnifed, thoroughly familiar with legisla-
tive routine and never at fault in the mazes
Of parliamentary law. The concurrent testi-
Inonv of all who have seen him in the Speak
e. 5 chair in former years and who have ad-
1nired the decision and rapidity with which
lie despatched the business of the House, is
that the presiding officer of Legislative
body he has no equal in the State.
Several other gentlemen, possessing many
excellent claims and qualifications have beer
mentioned by their friends, but we are in
cIined to believe that it will be difficult fol
any of them to stand before the reputation
and the ability of Gen. Grandey.

POSED reelection.
Mr. Flagg, in his administration of tn
Clerks Department has given order an
system TO what was before his time yer
poorly organized and conducted with littl
respect to method. But the Legislator
should give him, and the Secretary of til
Senate, an adequate clerical force to enabl
them not only to engross all bills, but to re
cngross all bills which may have bee
amended after being engrossed. What woul
be better than this even, would be the en-
rollment Of all bills after they have gon
through every step of their progress throug
the Legislature, and before they are sent
the executive for his signature. But W
should be content, as step in the reform
to see a re-engrossment of all amended bills
There are two reasons for this, either

The Reporter Question.

a correspondent of the Journal is exercised
because correspondent of the FREEMAN ven
tured last week to recommend Mr. Alderman,
of the Brattleboro Record, for the position of
chief reporter at the ensuing session of the
Legislature, and il especially distressed be-
cause that gentleman happens to be familiar
with photography. We do not expect it will
be found necessary or desirable to publish full
accounts of all the proceedings; as he very
truly says, no paper in Vermont could do
that. We insist, though, that not a session
passes but there occur some measures OF great
public interest, some speeches Of unusual
ability and eloquence, complete reports OF
which some of our newspapers would he glad
to publish, if they could get them. We do
not intend to imply that the reports for the
last two years have not been good. Every
one understood that none but long-hand re-
porters were engaged, and modified their ex-
pectations accordingly; but does the cores
pendent think that full reports of some of
the exciting debates of the last session would
not have been eagerly read

EARTHQUAKES = The full details of the

Of the most appalling character Though
the shock did not extend over so wide an ex-

cial dangers that is truly appalling. Our
correspondent does not and did not desire
any material change in the present method
of reporting. In years gone by shorthand
reporters have been procured by private en-
prise, and their services were sometimes very
valuable. Under the present law the salary
of all the reporters is fixed; they receive the
same per diem allowance as members of the
Legislature, and whatever be their skill OF
industry, can get no more, at least from tn
State. What, then, can be the objection to
appointing gentleman with every requisit
for the position, an accomplished and prac-
tised long hand reporter, and able at the same
time, when the occasion dc mands, to Civ
fuA reports of everything that transpires.
Photography has become more than a lux
ury; it is always convenient and often nee
cssary. The reporters obliged by law to
furnish reports of the ordinary legislative
proceedings. IF there is gentleman among
them who can, on extraordinary occasions,
give in addition complete reports to those
who desire them, and do this with no expense
to the State, should not such an one, other
qualifications being equal, receive the posi-
ton suggested?
