Governor Tildeps letter Is the theme
Of the hour. He has spent nearly two
months studying over il. Here Is a
letter that doesn't seem to have had even
two hours reflection. Yet with all his
study, Governor Tilden has meyer Written
anything that goes straight TO the hearts
of the American people. Extracts from
it have been published, but the whole
text is worth preserving. 1t is taken
from life Of Governor Hayes by Mr.. ],

to whom it is addressed, is one Of Gov.

WEare more than surprised sat .onr

GgScgR III rehearsing that affair of the
Hon. Thos. 4. Hendricks attending .
meeting at Seymour, Indiana, in 1864
for the purpose Of deHouncing the war
lie WIS no more responsible for that
meeting than was the editor Of the In
rgLLiGESCER. The Republican party
must he hard pushed to publish such
stuh.- IEdEJw9 Ncps.
There il no occasion for any surprise
real or affected, on the part Of the Neirs
regarding the publication referred to.
The idea that Thomas 4. Hendricks was
in no wise responsible for the peace meet
ing at Seymour, Indiana, which he nd
dressed, when he was at that very time
going around and addressing, lomenting
and indeed fnriating such gatherings, il
avery thin dodge indeed. We believe
in holding such Northern dough-faces
and rebel sympathizers as Hendricks 70
rig id account, for their share in the
lengthcning out OF the war, when
it comes to making Vice Presidents oI
them. Az u general thing, We believe in
letting the war slide. We do not follow
the business OF shaking the bloody shirt
HIt ia called, but We shall always be dis
posed to help shake it with the utinbs
Vlgor when it comes TO making Presl
dent or Vice President out Of any man
who, like Hendricks, sought 10 parnlyZ'
the hand Of the government, as he did
by cold bIOoded efforts to SOW seditior
and disaiiection among the people OF th'
North during the war, and thus comPe
the government to surrender to the re
bellion.
The victories Of our armies at tn
front, every time they achieved victory
were just as much triumplls over suci
men IA Tilden and Hendricks, Vallandig
ham and Voorhees,, as over the rebels il
their front. The Union was preserved ir
spite Of the prominent Democratic lead
cnotthe North. They were overthrow
by the surrender Of Lee and Johnston just
a'the Southern rebels in arms were. II
was not possible for them to wish success
to the government, and il is notorious
'hAtdnring the war their regular business
was to show the impossibility Of restoring
the Union by force. This was the plea o
Hendricks a, he swung around the circle
