HEADS AND ISSUES PEEriNa UP.
Horatio Seymour has written here to s. S. Cox
and others, saying that while he has not been on
Intimate personal terms with Mr.. Greeley for some
time, yet he recognizes the coming Of the rcyoIu-
ton, ana sees considerations and results contingent
upon 1t which the democratic party should think
OF New York. who Ia generally believed to hold the
leading influence In the State at present, having
passed through the late defect and ordeal without
stigma OF reprcach was one OF the most ardent
spirits when the Cincinnati Convention was In seS
sion, ana wrote to his republican friends there to
go ahead and nominate after their own judgment,
and rely upon the democrats Of New York being
with them. l was informed as late as yesterday
that lie had not changed this sentiment In any

solidly the negro vote. IL he can retain this 1t

GUS and vehement canvass will be made all through
the South, particularly among the blacks, and these
latter have shown within two years considerable
aptitude for compromise Us in the city OF Charles

fairly divided with the late rebels accepting part Of

which IL affords to life and property. The scelawag
element OF the South, composed OF native renegades
to white preiudtces, has been for two years en-
broed with the carpet-bag element, the scalawags
insisting that they should have all the patronage
in States where they reside and claiming to be on
good terms with both rebels and negroes, and
capable Of governing without reGortng to military
rule and with less scandal than the carpet-baggers
have brought.
In States where the democratic party polls a very
great vOte-New York eXcepted-there Is considera-
bic talk for straight ticket at Baltimore, Delaware,
a non-republlcan State constitution and Penn
syvania, where the democratic politicians rejected
Hancock at the only time when they could have
elected him, to divide Asa Packers mOney-these
States want everything straight and nothing dis
turOed. But in Michigan Illinois and Iowa the
democrats are tired OF getting nothing at home Or
at Washington and want Greeley.
