The Richmond Dispatch says that the
New York bill providing for the election OF
presidential electors by districts would be
perfectly fair aud Just If all of the States did
the same thing. Well; is il not a fact tina
nearly, il not quite. all Of the States cbos,
electors in that way fifty years agOy VII,
first innoyated on that Just and righteou,
practicey Did not Virginia, New York
and Massachusetts first break that rule
Why should not New York set the cxampl,
OF returning to tae good old democratic
custom OF the fathers! Or, better yet, per
baps-let Virginia set the example, Ohio
State JOarnQt.
We are not at all alarmed at the prospect
OF change in the manner of choosing
electors ia New York or any other State.
To do so under existing circumstances VIII
be to damage the Republicans more than
the Democrats. We are not afraid OF any,
thing the Republicans can do TO defeat the
emocrats-wbethcr it be the change i'm
question, or the nomination OF General
GRANT. Both these things viii, ia our
opinion, tend TO the defeat rather than the
success OF the Republican party in the
presidential election. But whether they
will or not, we are ready TO take the risk
At the same time We will repeat. what
we have said said before, that the eecting
OF the presidential electors by the Legsa-
lures OF the several States may prove to
be the last refuge OF States rights and the
last barrier to be erected against a consoli-
dated despotism at Washington.
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1880-01-24

We have seer it stated that Mr.. l.. Q.
WASHINGTON claims TO have read a private
letter from Governor SEYMOUR in which
this gentleman declared that he would not
accept nomination for President. Will
Mr.. WASHINGTON father the statement? If
so, be can put quietus upon the SEYMOUR
boom, being perfectly reliable gentleman.
He is represented as having sent this in-
formation TO New Orleans. Our Washing
ton correspondent sees Mr.. WAsHINGTON
daily, but has never told his readers that
DIR. WAsBISGroN had had look ut such a
Letter. Nevertheless. there may be such a
letter IN existence. II so, let Us hear from
the men who have read IL.
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1880-01-24
Mr.. Seymour.

II anybody wishes 10 know whether Mr.
SEYMOUR's mind is falling or not, he ear
easily satisfy his doubts on that point by
reading the admirable address which that
distinguished gentleman delivered last
Wednesday. at Albany, TO the State Agri.
cultural Society OF New York. Ii IS hardly
too much TO say that Mr.. SEYMOUR makes
better addresses on such occasions than al.
most any other man in the United States.
He is as distinguished as a philanthrOpist
and farmer as he is as a statesman. lie goes
TO the bottom of every subject of which ne
treats in his public speeches. II he should
be elected President Of the United States,
as now seems not at all unlikely, he will be
worthy successor OF THOMAS JEFFERSON.
In speaking OF Mr.. SEYMoUR's address at
Albany the New York Herdid says that 8 it
is production Of more interest than Ordl-
nary addresses OF the kind by the superior
intelligence and breadth of view which Mr..
SEYMOUR always brings to such discus
sions."
The Herald then adds:
ga farmer himself a. well as q statesman,
having Keen enjoyment OF rural life, and
vet being impelled by the bent Of his mind
TO consider the wider relations OF whatever
engages his attention, he is perhaps better
qualified that any other citizen to discourse
instructively on agriculture, and to present
IL in such manner as will not merely
benefit those who are engaged in its pursuit,
but invest it with the dignity which belongs
to it as the greatest OF our industries and
the most important OF our national interests.
The vigor Of mind which Mr.. Seymour
has exhibited in this admirable address
proves that he suffers no decay Of his facnl-
tics from advancing years. There is, in
deed, no reason why bis intellect should
not be at its best under the weight OF his
seventy years. He has never been an over
worked man. His ruraland temperate life,
spent mostly on his farm, should be con-
ducive to longevity and intellectual pre-
seryation."
