HoRArIo SEYMOUR has given out for
publication an address before the New
York State Agricultural Society, whose
delivery his health made impossible
With thephilosophic grasp which marks
all his utteTances, Gov. Seymour points
out that the division of our country In
to broad tracts, each devoted TO some
great staple, els exerting influence not
only upon agriculture, but upon tho in
telligence Of our people and the perma-
nence Of our Union. Great distances
might in time ALLEVIATE, but now the di.
versities Of their pursuits keep alive
active commerce and reciprocal inter
ests. This system cannot be intro
duced in Europe because it is broken
up in different nationalities separated
by the jealousies and wars of centuries.
From this interplay of common inter
ests between the commerce and the
manufacture of the seaboards and the
production of the great interior, Gov.
Seymour draws the conclusion that the
productive forces of the country have
only begun to exercise their dominant
influence on the fortunes of the civil
lied world.

Whether the South will 90 for hard

They are satisfied that any Democrat
would be change for the better, and
all they want is a candidate who is suf-

of our Northern States would be satis-
fed SO easily it would contribute a
great deal to the success of the PARTY.

in getting along quietly and peaeeably

There is a moral for New York to be

the advent of the closing week of the

find they have been exaggerating their
own chances of success as grossly as
they have beenundertating the strength
of adversities. Republican estimates
of their majority on the state ticket
have suddenly shrunk to one third of
the figure lately claimed, and the legis-
lature is regarded as rather worse than
doubtful.

The Republican press of Oregon are
very quick to follow in tho footsteps of
Blaine, and it seems that they cannot
say enough against the people of the
South. One Of their heaviest charges
is that the Southern States are repudi-
ating their debts, aud in their blindness
they forget that Northern States some
times do the same thing. The follow
ing little squib will give them some in
formation:
The st. Louis Post. Dispatch publish
es a full account of bonds repudiated in
the States Of Kansas and Illinois. It
shows that Kansas has repudiated
81, ,547 900, and that sixteen different
counties and nine cities refuse to pay
the interest on their debts, which ag-
gregate the sum of 33,547, 900. Sew

Senator Blaine's brother, who has been
assistant keeper of the senate document
room for several years, was removed by
Sergeant-at Arms Bright to-day. Blaine
had been given leave of absence until
Oct. 10th, and he was dismissed with
out previous notification Of any kind.
No complaint was made against the
manner in which he performed his du-
ties, and his removal was undoubtedly
made to make place for some Demo
cratic ofice-seelcer.-TelegrGph.
That was shameful trick, and the
Democrats ought not to have discharged
him. When Republicans are in power
they always give Democrats "fat" po-
sitions, and Democrats should act in
the same way.
