AUBURN. Nov. l.-Mr. Seward defended Presi-
dent Johnson's policy of reconstruction at great
length, claiming that it was following the foot
steps Of Lincoln, and consisted simply in opening
the easiest, shortest and safest way for a return
into the national family of the people OF the
Southern States, who now repented for their at
tempted separation. He attack ed, violently, the
+, Radical plan of reconstruction as prepared by
Congress-. denounced the impeachment project
and characterized the doings of the Radicals as
wild, and the reckless proceedings of the iucon-
sistent leaders, such as kept Mexico in condition
of anarchy through the period of forty years, and
which has left hardly stable or even q peaceful
republic 10 South America.
after complimenting several Democrats with
whom he has been acting, Seward said
:. To confide the responsibility of the govern
ment to the Radical party in its present condition
would be to continue. perhaps increase, the
laDleDtable political excitement which has de-
lsyed the complete restoration of the Union mp
10 the present time. The result of the election.
IL favorable 10 the candidates Of our choice, will
prepared the popular mind 20 expect now what 1t
has heretofore objected to, namely: the most
practicable and easy solution Of the national EN-
Seward ended by stating that throughout his
/. life he had been an advocate of universal suf
frage for the exile, the emigrant and the slave,
and had gwen 10 those classes the support and
patronage which the Constitution permits and
allows.
Mayor Hoffman issued "a proclamation yester-
day TO the people of this city, setting forth that
interruptions, designing and dangerous men have
combined TO prevent Daturalized citizens from
voting. under the pretext that their papers had
been fraudulently obtained. The Uoiled states
marshal Is declared to have appointed sSarms OF
special deputies TO take their places at the polls
for the purpose of overa wing voters and otler
wise interfere 70 prevent fair election. Eviden
is said to be accommodating which shows deter
mnation on the part OF certain men to so excite
the masses of the people In the city opposed TO
them as to lead them TO acts OF disorder and vio-
lent resistance. The mayor calls upon the peo Die
70 keep quiet under the most sggrsvaung cream
stances, and offers reward OF one hundred dol
lars for the arrest aud conviction Of any person
charged with a violation of the election laws of
the state OF who may be convicted of having Oh
structed or inundated any voter in the exerci
, of his right an elector.
ATLANTA, Nov. LA large Democratic meeting
last night was addressed by Benj Hill, who called
the attention OF the Democratic party 10 the tre-
mendous Issues at stake In the coming election
that neither Grant nor seymour were anything,
save an nstrumeDt-the one OF centralized des-
pOtism, the other OF Constitutional liberty. 1t
was for the Democracy to decide on Tuesday
whether free government on this continent
should live or die. He believed Seymour's chances
fer election were better than Grants-that the
Radicals built all their hopes of success on the
panic In the Democratic ranks. If the Democrats
came square up to their duty Seymour will be
elected and the Constitution indicated.
L. l.. Levy, a prominent Israelfte in this city,
comes out In card supporting Seymour. and
says; 81 have reliable information from all Sec
tens Of the country from my people, and they as
\ class, are unanimous for Seymour and Blair, y
snd assures the Democratic party he viii use al
honorable means to place at the head OF once
fsee ard independent nation the man who will de.
end the Constitution and give justice to all.
