Mr.. Horatio Seymour has finally abandoned
his watermelons. his pleasant headquarters at
ButterGeld's Hotel, and the twenty-seven diff
ferent positions in which no has been photo
graphed by dsting uished photographer and
made speech. This address is little more
than one of courtesy. He Will make moro
elaborate eifo 1T to-day. Mr.. Seymour is a
pleas ing sneaker His rhetoric is finished, and
he comes to tho people of Ncw-York now
under stress which sh ould develop tho
power of DcmOsthcnes.
We are curious to see what new issues have
en,cred the mind of Gov. Seymour since the
October elections. He certainly must have
something 10 say. Does he propose to change
the nlatform7 What new issue can he make
On the financial policy we have either national
faith or national infamy. The Democratic
platform represents one sentiment tho Repub-
lican po1ty the other. We take the platfor m
as our record. If Mr. Seymour aban dons IL nc
surrenders the canvass or else Dursues IL
under false pretenses. What has he TO say
obout Recommendation Gen. Grant 8 position Is
plain. and so is that of Gen. Blair Gen.
Grant proposes to protect loyal men IN the
consolidation of the Southern State Gov
ernment4. and to insure peace Oeh'
Blair dc Tres to overthrow these States
by the army, and deprive the loya lists
Sout h of tie right of Suffrage. The difference
between these two theories is simply the dif-
ference between Peace and War GOV. oey-
mour has only to indorse Gen. Grant or Gen
Blair. II the first, thon he should retire from
the canvass, and support the Republican nom
inee; if the second, then we know where We
stand.
These two points cover all the questions
now before the people. If the election OF Mr.
Seymour does not mean Revolution, what
does it meant If il does not propose Repu-
diation, what does 1t propose If Mr. Seymour
wants peace and the payment of the debt he can
attain these results in only one way lie either
has some new principle upon which to rally
the people, or he merely drgrades his tour
into pcddling tramp for place-an appeal to
the people To give him an Office and salary

ous Copperhcad politicians.

eious liberty, under certain restrictions, and
tho elevation Of t,,e people in civilized life.

Tho interesting article which we publish to-
dov an tbe snhiect of the last Exhibition of the
Royal Academy as nm exponent OF the present
condition of English art, will be found to sus-
tain the opinion wo have often eXPre>seu, tlat,
when we consider the disadvantages undes when
American artists labor, in respect of deficiency
of facilities for study; of the absence of a large
society of rich and highly cultivated men and
women; and of the want of that high standard
formed by great native artists of former genera
tion and by national and private galleries con-
tanning examples of the work of the foremost
men of all times and all natiOns-when these
drawbacks are allowed for, American art by
which we mean the work OF Amerlcan-Dorh
artists, in America, will be found to give
farer promise of future excellence than can be
predicted of the English schools. There Is not
in England, to-day, a sculptor who has pro-
duced a statue in any way equal to Wards
"Indan Hunter and no living English land
scape painter has shown the ability OF Church
when that artist puts forth all his strength
"a he has done in his first Niagara
We are not among those who fiatter our Amer
lean artists with the praise OF superiority 10
the rest Of the world or with undlscrlmlnating
eulogies as if all of our men were eXceiieht
alike. 1t is rare that any nation has produced
at the same time more than very lew men Oh
genius or high talent even in any department
of art, and certainly America has not been an
exception to this rule, nor is likely to be. But,
we have few good artists who do us honor,
and it is no immOdesty to say that as Engiish
art stands to-day, our little company could
we'll hold up their heads in the great Exhibl-
ton of the greatest capital of the world. Two
things our artists do most seriously need;
conviction of the absolute necessity for hard
and continuous study, devotion never salts
fled and never ending; and purpose Tar re-
moved from mercenary ends. Many OF them,
especially tho younger ones, need, too, TO $50
late themselves, to cut themselves of from the
seductive influences Of foreign art until severe
course of training in the study of nature shall
have enabled them to use the work OF
masters without being enslaved by it. Next
to the temptations which beset our young men,
and tho ablest of our young men, to slight
study and to trust to genius or talent, is the
danger, which has indeed Overtaken and swal-
lowed up n few, of becoming mere cOpyists
of the mannerisms of this or that Frenchman.
And nothing can save any artist from the fate
that follows such idolatry, but the giving up
his heart early to the study of nature 1T first
hand and devoting all his faculties to oDeyins
her supreme teachings.

Some of the Democratic papers have recently
had the extraordinary effrontery to commend
Gov. Seymour to the suffrages of his country
men on the ground that he eXerted himself
zealously and successfully to put down the
draft riots in Ncw-York in 1868. AS a sufficient
answer to this, we publish to-day narrative
of the outrages committed during those dis
turbances by Gov. Seymour's friends" and
statement of the measures adopted by the
Governor for their repression. 1t will be evil
dent enough to any impartial reader that Mr.
Seymour did absolutely nothing to check the
riot which his own Incorporate address few
DAYS before had done so much to incite, and If
the preservation of the peace of New-lork had
depended upon her Governor We should have
been in sorry plight indeed. 1t seems to us
it would commend Mr.. Seymour great deal
more efiectually to the Democracy, beside being
a great deal more honest if his friends would
urge his election precisely on the ground that
he did not put down the riots.

Having cleyerly buried the State arms at the
bottom of the Mississippi, the Arkansas Dem
Ocrats now assure us in formal manifesto that
they mean to be entirely peaceable. At the
same time they show the cTimnaity of the
reckless Governor who offended the delicate
susceptibilities Of the citizens "IIe had no
authority of law" they exclaim, to purchase
"those arms !" and they leave it to be inferred
that their authority Of law for destroying them
was perfect. For do we not know that they

Science, some extracts from which have already
been given in our English correspondence. The
Address will be read with interest as q lucid

Election frauds in Indiana were not confined,
il seems, to the counties near the Kentucky
border A dispatch from Lafayette assures us
that in district so far north as Mr.. 0rth's the
frauds cost that gentleman at least thousand
votes, which should rightfully be added to his
hard earned majority. Next time they will
have less opportunity for cheating, and less
cause, since they feel III their bones that nc

We learn from Washington that the Govern.

We learn from Washington that the Govern
ment has received news of the final disposition
of the Alabama claims. After resisting for
three years, in every conceivable way, our do
mand for payment, the British authorities have
finally agreed with Minister johnson to refer
the question for arbitration to the King of
Prussia. At first sight this might seem less
favorable reference than that first reported.
King William. though friendly, has never been
50 conspicuously cordial to the United States
as the Gar; while his family relationship with
Oueen Victoria is intimate. The reference,
however, is practically to the Crown jurists OF
Prussia, and there appears no reason for
doubling their entire impartalty.

County Election News.

The republicans of Warren elected their
township and burrough ticket without op-
position.
The Democrats of Lordstown, on the
other hand, had it all their own way, elect
ing the entire Democratic ticket, including
G.. w. Harshman, Justice of the Peace,
without opposition.
In Hubbard the contest was spirited but
the Democracy elected their entire ticket
including N. Mitchell Justice of the peace
by increased majorities.
The liveliest contest in the County was
probably in Newton, in 1866 thevo stood
Rep. l67, Dem. 136, last fall it was Rep.
los, Dem. Isl.
This spring the Democrats went to work
with the intention to overcome the small
majority still held by the Republicans, but
on account of local matters and interests,
were but partially successful. The Demo-
Gratis elected one trustee, Henry Taylor,
and the assessor, Warren Patterson-the
balance of the officers elect are Republi-
cans. Our old friend VIM. Bronson, who
was elected justice of the peace, aside from
his politics, is very good man for the po-
sition.
In Johnston. where last fall the vote
stood Rep. la. Dem. Y, the Democrats
have elected two of their Trustees, the
Clerk, Assessor, and a majority OF the Su
pervisors. So far as heard from, wherever
the Democrats put ticket in nomination,
they made large gains:-Warren Constitu-

unprecedented Victory.

The election for Township and Corpora
tion officers in Sidney took place on Mon
day, the 9Th, which resulted in the election
of the entire Township Democratic ticket,
and in that of the Corporation, all except
one councilman. This we say is victory
unprecedented, as it is the first time since the
formation OF the township (over forty
eight years ago) that it has been under
Democratic control. 1t may be claimed
that there was disaffection i'm the Republi-
can ranks, which caused this result. This no
doubt, tended to increase the majorities,
but on examination, we find that on a
straight ballo the Democracy have ma
jority of from eighteen to twenty votes.
The vote was larger by over one hundred
than was ever cast in the township at a
spring ele ,tion.-S Shelby County Democrat.

The Democratic boys in Portage town
ship are determined fellows, and are al
ways sure to win if work will accomplish
it. Portage township is the stronghold of
Radicalism in this county, but few more
pulls like that made last Monday will make
the majority emphatically Democratic
The RAIDS laughed at the Democrats when
they nominated straight Democratic
township ticket; but our boys fought
them, gave them blow for blow, and sue
ceeded in electing one Trustee, the Clerk
and Assessor in the township, and the Re-
corder and one Councilman in the corpora
ton. We do not claim that this result will
have any effect on the impeachers at Wash
ington, but we do think it furnishes rich
treat for the Democrats to laugh at the
disappointed RAIDS, who felt as If they had

Abraham Lincoln.

The Philadelphia (Pa.) Age makes point
on the Radicals by calling attention to the
fact, that this year the Radicals have made
a polite flourish of respect to the memory
of Mr.. LINCOLN on the anniversary of his
assassination. STANTON issues an order,
and some OF the Radical papers put badge
of mourning on their columns. All this is
very hollow and is meant to cover the
Radical detection from LINCoLN's policy,
and their malignant persecution of his
friends. The Radical clique of WADE,
STEVENS and STANTON, were as anxious to
exclude LINCOLN from second term as
they are to cut short the term of JOHNSON
They have succeeded in ostracising and
prescribing SEWARD, and BROWNING. and
CowAN, and DooLTTTLE, and DIXON,
and BLAIR, and BATES, and most
of the men in whom Mr.. LIN
COLIN put his trust. They have inaugural
ed system which he repudiated, and
while he lived opposed. In short, if ABRA-
HAM LINCOLN were alive today, and did
not "yield to pressure" no doubt the
Radicals would try to impeach him. What
he would have thought of their plan of re-
II -
constructing the South, by means Of negroes
and ''carpet-baggers," may be seen from
the following letter. That word ''carpet-
baggers' is so apt for the class Mr.. LIN
colin describes, and is so like his coinage.
that we think he must have originated it.
Here is his letter, dated 2lst November,
1858:
DEAR SIR: DR.. Kennedy, bearer of this,
has some apprehension that Federal OFF,
cers, not citizens OF Louisiana, may be set
I'D as candidates for Congress in that State.
In nv view there could be no possible OBJ
iect in such an election. We do not par
ticularly need members of Congress from
those States to enable us to get along with
legislation here. What we do want is the
conclusive evidence that respectable citi-
zens of Louisiana are willing to be mem
| bers of Congress, and to swear support to
the Constitution; and that other respecta-
BILE citizens there are willing to vote for
them and send them. To send parcel of
Northern men here as representatives,
elected, as would be understood (and per-
haps really SOY, at the point of the bayonet,
would be disgraceful and outrageous; and,
were a member of Congress here, l would
vote against admitting any such man to a
seat.
