Scnk to a Democrat of the relent less opposition of Soymour to the Union cause and a thorough prosecu tion of tho war, and ho is Hiiro to refer you to tho certificate of Edwin M.

Tho energy, ac tivity, and patriotism, you liuvo.ex hihitcd, I may be permitted personally and olliciully to acknowledge, without arrogating any personal claims on my part in such service, or to any service whatever. I shall bo happy to bo always es teemed your friend. Edwin M. Stanton". His Excellency Horatio Seymour. If that is not Impeachment for lukc wnrmness what is it? What loyal Governor in tho North but would have considered such thanks an insult to his sense of duty? Pennsylvania, in June '03, was overrun by a hostile ftrmy. Tho President of tho United States called on tho respective Gov ernors for aid and because New York was nearest the scene of action and tier Governor did his simplo duty in forwarding tho assistance, is tlmrc any Bpccifio reason for compliments? This uniformed and organized militia was handled in a way that never brought to their cars tho sound of hostile can non, or to their eyes the sight of a gray coat, except on a prisoner's back, whether by order ,of Seymour or the blunder of thoir officers is not appa rent. This much does appear. After tho departure of his militia tho fol lowing took place in tho city between . Governor Seymour and his "friends :" Tho 1st of July, 18G3, was one of the darkest days of our Union. Grant stood beforo the still defiant intrcuch tnentsofVicksburg. Banks was like wise obstructed by tho earthworks of Fort Hudson. Each of theso Gener als, in tho midst of a hostilo region, was then probably confronted by foes on either sido nearly if not quite as nu merous as his own cflcctivo force. Our National resources and credit wcro at low water mark. Milroy had just been smashed at Winchester. We were making no headway in Tennes see, in North nor in South Carolina. Hooker had boon beaten by bad gener alship at Chancellorsvillo and forced to reoross the Rannnhannock. His vanquished array, just provided with a now and untried commnnucr, nau encountered Leo's dashing advance, was covering Washingt and Balti more while following the invader into Pennsylvania. ' Such wcro the circuit stances of unprecedented gloom and peril under which Horatio Seymour, than Governor prepared and delivered ft carefully written Oration wherein ne nowhere recognized tue ltcDei gov ernment and armies as publio and for 'iniduble enemies, whos confidently ex peoted and speedy triumph involved our national downfall and ruin, but, front beginning to end, arraigned Pres ident Lincoln and his Administration as the great malefactors of tho age tie chief sources of , National evil and peril. - v--'.';l . ., i ' On the 4 th day of July, 1803, the turning point in our war history, and before he had heard tho glorious news of victory, which thrilled the Repub 11 if ipei Jeiillttiii'. 4 ft ' , JAS. K. SAYEB3, vor, xnr lic like an electric current, Governor Seymour, not content with condemn ing thu war power as tho author of ull our national woes and perils, exulted over our disasters nud disuppoiiitinent- ments as follows: "When I accepted tho invitation to speak, with others, at this meeting, wo were promised tho downhill ol Vicksburg, tho opening of tho Missis sippi, tho probable enpturo ot theCon- Itderato Capital, and the exhaustion of the iicbcllion. lly common consent, all parties had fixed upon the day when the results of the eainniii 'ii should bo known, to mark out that lino ot policy which they felt that our country should pursue. But in the moment ol expected victory, there camo tho midnight cry for help from 1 cnnsylvania to save its tlespoilcd fields from thu invading foe; and al most within bight of this great com mercial metropolis, tho ships of your merchants were burned to tho water's edge." .Nino days after this harrangue, the seed sown then ppning upon tho eily of New York a baleful harvest of riot, arson, rapine and murder. .Ten thous and troops, needed at the front, were withdrawn from beforo thu enemy nnd sent to attend to Seymour an I his "friends." Afraid of the strong arm of tho military and awed by the felon's doom that awaited him, conveyed in the manly retort of General I i x, that he "had troops enough lu lake care of You,( Seymour) add your iiiobl'' Sey mour exerted himself to quell tho dis order, lie succeeded bv calling them pet names instead of sending a storm of cannisterinlo tho wi in ill?. But, who can doubt that it w.n a concertel movement with the rebels south to breakdown tho Government and scat ter its armies? Hoes it not seem a deep laid plot? With all this evi- leuco can it be possible !hw people wilj reject Grant, their defender, ami elect Seymour to t!io Presidency und the command of tli.i Army nnd Navy a man who almost at the very hour when the Stars and Stripes wcro flung to tho wind over tlioV.ipturud re- loiibts of Vicksburg nn.l when twenty thousand patriot dead slept upon the heights of Gettysburg,' addressed a mob of infuriated, plundering, mur derous villiuns in tho streets of New York us his "friends!" Tin: kkymoi'ii Miu:itu vvkim:i. Tho nomination of Seymour nnd Blair', which it is generally thought renders the election of Grant certain, was brought about by u scheme, alike adroit and successful, as follows: Mr. Seymour, among tho first named for tho Presidency, who, foreseeing trou ble iu tho camp, owing to tho great number of aspirants for that position, wisely determined to reserve iiis own namo ns the cvnrjmi8e man. Ho ac cordingly gavo out through tho press that ho was not and would not under any circumstances consent to bo a can didate, thereby disarming opposition to himself while quietly aiding his op ponents to destroy each other. Tho first plank iu this cunningly devised platform was to havo tho con- .. l !.. "V.-..I.

Mr. Seymour immediately rose, thanked tho convention tor tho Honor conferred, and however " willing to scryc Jiis country, ho could ' not with nonor consau to ncceni ineir nomina tion, with renewed thanks ho retired, saying that ho could not consent to bo thoir "cantliuate," winch no niigntwcii say, when lio was in tact their nomi nee, thus leaving ms menus w carry out bis programme. ; Mr. C.

Next in the programmo Mr. Stewart was brought up to chaugo tho vote of Michigan trom nenanous wymui , then Mr. Tildon, Chairman of the New Ynrk dftlecrniion. roso and said that ho was authorized to change tho vote of Now York from Hendricks to Sey mour, who could now accept tho nomi nation without dishouor, in which ho fihmmsm i.v the iuhiit as ioi uivra is to skb the WYaNKSIUJKO. was sustained by his -colleague, Mr. Kicrmuti, who assured the Convention that Mr. Seymour could carry the State of New York by n majority of one hundred thousand without a can vass. Then followed Kentucky, Ten nessee, North and South Carolina, Mississippi and the rebel States gener ally, when following their lead come good old Pennsylvania throwing over hoard her bravo and patriotiu son, General Hancock, and went for Sey mour, which settled the question and tho nomination was unanimous. TIIK Vl' K I'KKSIPKNCV. To give tho Seymour wircworkcrs and the Southern delegates time to se lect a vice 1 'resilient a recess of an hour wan asked for and granted. On the meeting of tho Convention, nccordingL, to the programme, a l mJftiTiilt: tion. (Preston,) of Kentucky, roso and after a highly culogistio speech, nominated Francis P. Blair, who it will bo re membered had just beforo written a letter, which was read in tho Conven tion, pledging himself to aid the South in putting down tho reconstruction laws by force of arm. Mr. Campbell, Chairman, then in troduced General Wado Hampton to speak for South Carolina, and ho east her vote for General Blair, which he did in n very complimentary speech, but took good care not to sav a word about tho aforesaid letter of Mr. Blair, promising to join the South in anoth er rebellion. Georgia then cast her vote by the chairman, who boasted of having been a rebel soldier, thanking the Convent ion very politely for the kindness and courtesy with which they had been treated. When all the rest rushed in, making tho nomination unanimous, treating the nomination of General Hancock, Gen.

MeClcruand, Mor gan, I lodge; and others, with perfect contempt, not giving pno of them a singlo vote thus carrying out and consummating tho original program mo in nil its parts, and dismissing the numerous delegates iu attendance, boil ing, with indignation at tho way in which they hail been cheated by Sey mour and his followers, and covered all over wiih shaino ami mortifica tion, to deliver tho sad tidings of then' shameful defeat to their indignant con stituencies at home. Com. llltAIN A .Ml hlTTOW. Tho Democratic press say that the Presidential contest is between "brains and buttons," Seymour having tho brains and Grant tho buttons, nnd that brains is sure to win. Talking about buttons, they must havo forgot ten Blair, i ho Ciiwiniuiu luiua asks a low questions on tho subject, some thing in this wise : hero was "brains when "buttons" was receiving tho sur render of Vicksburg, tho Western Reb el Gibraltar? Ho was telling his 'dear friends" that the ilebels could not pos sibly bo conquered I Where was "brains' when "buttons (atcatio)was chasing Gen. Leo IVoin tho decisive battle-ground of Gettysburg? Ho was on that very lny tellimi the coun try wc could not afford to prosecute the war any longer, that the Rebels would certainly succeed ! Where was "brains" whilo "buttons" was "lighting it out on that line," telling tho world that the "Confederacy was n shell, anil that it had robbed both "tho cradle and tho grave" in vain? " He was urging upon tho peoiilo the truth of the Chicago platform with the celebrated clause, "after four years of failure," vo., and still insisting that the shell could nut be broken, and there were enough moro in the cradle and with ono foot in the grave to whip ns all and destroy tho Republic! hut previous to this, in 1801, where was "brains, when "buttons voiuntecroa as a mere colonel of a regiment to sus tain the old flag? Alas, having just read tho Confederal?

If that is all that "brains" amounts to, every ono who was lovui miring ine . ti. ii war, says give us "buttons, "jsut tons" forever. "Buttons" has glon ously-triumphed thus far, and "brains" of such an addled sort arc bound still to lose. liar. Tdajraim. Tho Working; Pooplo. ; Tho strike among the miners iu tho coal regions of Pennsylvania says tho Philadelphia licd(er, still continues. Thrco classes of laborers are employed in theso mines, viz: miners, loaders nnd drivers, and outside laborers. Tho first two classes are paid according to tho amount of work they do, the r " t . miners earning about $3 a day, and the loaders ami drivers 2 a clay, ana each only working from six to eight hours a day. Tho outside laborers oro paid 1 50 a day, and are required to work ten hours a day. With this last class, it is asserted, the strike originated, and as is well known, consisted in a de mand of tho siimo compensation for eight hours lalior as lor ten hours, Tho striko probably embraces tho en tiro mining region, including Colum bia, Northumberland, Luzerne, Solmyl kill, Carbon and Lehigh comities. l'KNNA..

Krpnbllrnu 'aiullilnl j for f ill-fryer 4J- General Cainplicll was Iwirn in Alle gheny township, Somerset county, i'a., on tho 20th day ot November, 1821 ; consequently, ho will be forty-seven years old next November. At an ear ly ago ho was apprenticed to tin) print ing business, in Somerset, Pu. ' After mastering the "art preservative -of arts," ho emigrated to Pittsburg, when ho "worked at case" for some time. Ho next found his way to New Orleans and into another printing of fice. Tired of tho "composing stick and rule," ho tried his hand at steam boating, first ns a deck hand, and sub sequently as clerk, mate am! pnrtown- r ot a vessel. In wo hml him iu tl io iron business, nt Brady's llend. In 18ol, he followed tho tide of emi gration to Calilornia remaining there nit a short time. In 185:1, wo find him in Johnstown Pa., assisting iu tho construction of tho Mammoth Cam bria Iron Works, with which cstab- ishment he was connected up to tho ireakiug out of tho war. In 18G1, ho was among the first to enroll him self ns ii volunteer, to defend tho flag of his country, and whmtjm to the Jim lomjmuy thai entered Vamp Cui'tiii. Upon the arrival of tho company in Ilarrisburg, and the organization of tho Third llegiinent of Pa. Vols, to which his company was attached, Lieut. Campbell was appointed Quar termaster of Iho liegiinent, whiuh po sition he filled with credit to himself toil to the satisllietion of the oIUitih tud men of his ltcgimeut, as all those who remain will testily. Ha was mustered out of the service nn the 28th of July lSlil, and on the ;()th of the nine month, was commissioncil by uov. Curtin to raise a regiment. The reg iment was recruited mainly through Col. Campbell's individm! exertions, md upon being organized, was desig nated the filth. His regiment! was the escort of honor through the city of Washington, to the remains of the la mented (.'ol. Cameron (brother of Hon. Simon Cameron) who Jell at the first linll linn battle. On (health ot . March 1802, Col. Campbell was ordered to occupy uiu lino oi inn J lull i more tv Ohio lJuilrond" from North Mountain Station, fiftv-six miles westward to the South Jlraucli ot tho Potomac. In this position, tho executive as well as tho military abilities of the Colonel were constantly called into requisition. How well Im performed Ins artliious and imiltitii.liiious unties in this trying position tho ollieers of the B. iv (). K. U. as well as Ins supe riors in tho military servieo, do not hesitate to declare that but lor his en ergy and sleepless watchfulness, many miles ol tho road would havo been lo- st roved. On tho 2oth of December, 1802, ho was relieved Irom duty along the railroad, and on llicfith of Decem ber, 18G.1, was assigned to the com mand of tho -1th Brigade, 1st Divis ion, 8th Army Corps. In 1801, Gen. Sigel took command of the Department of West Virginia, and in a reorgani zation of tho troops, Col. Campbell, at his own request, was returned to the command ol his regiment, . and took an active part m tho hattlo ol New Market, occupying the left of the lino. His regiment sullered severely ind was the last to leavo tho field. Hut for the determined stand made by Col. Campbell, Sigel's army would have been routed and demoralized. In his ollieial report of tho battle, he acknowledged the valuable services of Col. Compbell in n very handsome und, flattering manner, A deserved compliment to a deserving officer. Gen. Sigel also took occasion to thank Col. Campbell in person. . "My God ! Col. Campbell, I wish I had known you better!" Gen Sigel exclaimed, rushing to Col. Campbell and grasp ing his hand with both of his own, af ter tlio tumult of the battle had sub sided. Tho Col. and his regiment took a prominent part in tho buttle of Piedmont, under General Hunter. Ho was breveted a Brigadioi General for bravery and "fitness to command," in this battfo, and again assigned to the command ot a brigade. He also took an active pert in Hfinter's cele brated "Lynchburg Kind," his com mand sullcnng heavily in tlio attack upon Lynchburg. When Col. Mulli gan fell nt Winchester, Gen. Camp bell look command of tho division, and continued in command until : by severe losses in killed and wounded, it was consolidated into n brigade, which ho afterwards commanded.' Ho also participated in the engagements in tho Slicnnndoah-, under the gallant I titl. bhcridun, winning other ami new laurels w'.ilo with that intrepid chieftain. ; Gen. Campbell was mustered out of the service in the fall of 18b" 1, having been in the army almost three ycai) ana a nan. iio was never absent lrom his command except threo weeks, sit ting as a member of a Court of Inqui ry at Wheeling, Vu., and had but two leaves of absence, 'during his whole period ot service, ono for ten nnd the other lor twenty .days. . 1 ho political record of Gen. Camp bell will also bear examination. Brought up a Jackson Democrat, ho voted for Polk and Dallas, in 1844, but in 184a seeing the determined cn croachmcnts of tho slavery pronaffand ists, ho voted fontho free soil cadidatcs Van iliircn nnd Adams, and in 1852 again voted for tho free soil nominees Halo and Julian ; and in 1850, was the delegate from Cnmliria county to kkiiit. Lincoln. tho l'Wniont Convention. In 1859 the Ucpuhlicnns of Cambria county presented him to their district confer ence as tlicir choice for the Senatorial nomination, and three years ago ho watLnent, which said to him. "If I go, muinimoiintii selected again as the choice of the Union party of Cambria, for State Senator, but failed to receive tho nomination from tho district con ference iipon cither occasion, not how ever from want of appeciation of his worth nnd services as a citizen and as a brave, and meritorious soldier. On tlio 17th of August 1S(5", Gen. Campbell was nominated for Survey or General by tho Be publican party and in October of the same year, was elected over Col. Linton, his compet itor, by a largo majority. For over twb years ho has administered the du ties of bis oflico with recognized abili ty and to the satisfaction of all paitics and has brought up u largo amount of unfinished and intricate business. In March last, ho was uiiaiiiinoitnty re nominated by tho Republican State Convention, for tho ollico ho now so ably audsatisfHacorily fills. A unani mous re-noniiiiation from n State Con vention of either party, is no small compliment to any man, and no one within our recollection except Gen. Campbell and his colleague on the State ticket ever before receive such a marked endorsement. Such in brief, is n hurried sketch of the life and services of one of Penn sylvania's noblest sons. Ho is first found n "printer's devil," a "jour," a "deck hand" on a steamboat, a "clerk" male and "part owner ol a vessel Ho is next (omul iu the Iron business then in Calilornia, and finally iu the gigantic cnterpriso of the celebrated Cambria Iron Mills, where his expe rience added largely to tho success of that stupendous undertaking. At the breaking out of the war, ho was hieu- ciiautot a militia company, entered the army ami was appointed a (Jnar tennaMer, then a Colonel, and after a brillliaul campaign of three long weary years, ho was honored with a Jircvel lSngadicr liencral s Commission, a po sition long and doubly earned iu com mand 1 a brigade and division, ami by gallantry in tho field. Tims, it will bo seen, that Gen. Campbell comes from the working class, aud is umpliatieally a working man. J I is social characteristics never, fail to creato tho warmest friendship find a lasting impression. Ho is a shrewd business man am! a useful citizen a man endowed with strong common sense, ami rarely iiiils in hisjiidgment of men and measures is well read, and familiarly acquainted with all the internal workings ol the-great machin ery of our government. Among the ablest articles on the subject of our National finances, was ono from his )on written during tho early part ol last winter, lie is a genial ' compan ion, a Clever, wnoie-souieii,, honest man, strictly temperate in his habits, and that. ho will be re-elected by an increased majority, is already beyond x peradventurc. MIC II, TAX ATION. Tho Democratic platform declares for "equal taxation of every species of property according to its real value, including Govcrinent bonds nnd other securities." This is a blow leveled at tho bonds. Jt means that tho bond-holders are a privileged class, ami that their bonds ought to bo taxed according to their real value. That has u fine sound, what does it mean? Tho ad of Congress authorizing the is sue of Treasury iiotcsiul8G2 expressly provided that "all stocks, bonds, and other securities of tho United States held by individuals, corporations, or issociutions within tho United (states, shall lie exempt from taxation by or iintlcr i citato authority. J. Ins had been already declared by tho Supreme Court to be the law; and for a very obvious reason. If the States could tux United States securities they could tax them to extinction, and thus the National Govcrnient bo iwiralvzed. Of course, n law which secures untraiu- meled power to the JSational govern ment has been constantly challenged by the spirit which framed tho New York platlorm. in JUaryiami, in reunsyi vauia, in South Carolina, and in New York the attempt has been made to tax tho national securities by tho State, and in every case the supremo Court has : decided thai it can not bo done because such a practice might be fatal .1 .... ..P IT.-I..1 10 too sovereignty in mo umicu States. Tho persons who took the bonds of the United States took them with tho condition distinct ly affirmed by Congress that thev should not be taxed, nnd with the de claration of tho Supremo Court that they could not bo taxed; aud now the Democratic platform . demands, not withstanding the authority of Congress and of tho Supremo Court, that they all bo taxed. There could not bo a moro direct nnd palpable swindle. It is naked theft.. It : is' a deliber ate declaration that tho Government shall use false weights and measures. It is proclaiming wholesale robbery as the national policy. ' "But isn't it very hard," says an hnncst reader, ''that my noighhor Jmies should haVO to PflV Blicll On enormous tax iHXMiisoii is property is of one kind, while my neighbor Smith, a great deal richer man, pays infmito lw Inns, because his property is of an other kind ?" Yes that seems hard. Rut look ut it fairly. -''There are but two authorities that can tax ns, the EDITOR AND PUBLISHER. NO. S. Stato and tho United States. Now when the United States was iu ex tremity Smith turned his property in to iiionev und lent it to the Gnvcr your money uoea with ine; it I es cape, the bond I give you shall not bo taxed." The Government escaped. Now if it permits any lwdy else to tux the bond, it permits somebody else, to break its word to Smith, who helped it iu extremity. It ought not to per mit that. No honest man, not Jones, himself if ho bo honest, will insist that it should. But this is what the Democratic Platform demands should ho thine. It demands that the States shall tax bonds which wero taken under the guarantee of the Uni ted States that they should bo taxed. It ileuiiindM that the Government shall permit the most shainuless swin dle. "Why, then"' asks our hon?st reader, "why should not Congress itself tax them?" In tho first place, it is plain that if if it should do this it would break its own promisctothctukcrsof the bonds because the amount of the tax would bo just so much reduction of tho interest upon them. It would bo tho stuuons declaring that henceforth tho Govern ment would piy six per cent, interest iiiou bonds for whieii it promised to pay seven. In transaction between in dividuals every man knows what this would lx, and what the consequences. A merchant who should do it would be ruined forever as the most dishonest of men. In the second place, tho Con stitution forbids tho Government to lay a tax upon persons or property except by apportioning it among the States according to population. This is impracticable, mid the National Government, therefore, taxes indiicct ly It taxes consumers and traders, and when income must bear its share of the general bwrden, the income de rived from tho Government bonds is equally taxed. Thus if Congress should tax tho bonds it would be both a dishonest nnd unconstitutional act. But the' Democratic platform does not ask or mean that Congress shall do it. When it demands equal taxa tion of every species ofproperty accor ding to its real value, it uses an cx pressson which is upplieablo only to State authority. This the framers of the platform knew, and this they in tended. It is part of tlio policy of hostility between tho Mates and the .National Liovcrnmcnt. it is intended to place tho latter in the light of an oppressor)i4and tho former in that of lel(Mid,;rs of the people. ItSis tho old devil of Stato sovereignly. It is the spirit of secession wliioli has cost us al ready a bloody war. 11ns clause- ot the Democratic platform demands that the States shall bring tho Union into lisgrace. Docs any honest reader be lieve that to be for his interest ? Har pers Weekly. Ull ANT A XII HlttTHAIIl'tXlM. It Would bo highly desirable if the pending national canvass could be conducted without being disfigured with gross personal attacks upon the vo 1 residential candidates. But this docs not comport with the tactics of some of tho leading journals on both sides. They nro nothing if not vituperative. Tho Democratic not yet on tho course, tho Badicals have not now so wide a held lor tho display of their excoriating rhetoric as will be opened to them on the adjournment of the J illy Convention. In tho mean time, the tvnc of Journals wc have men tioned on tho Democratic side have lominenced their peculiar attacks on Gen. Grant. They have pretty much abandoned the allegation of intemper ance, anil seem to rest their objections to his election mainly on the charges that ho ha3 changed his name, nnd smokes incessantly, and is a butcher in shoulder straps. They insist that tho Chicago nomi- nco is trying to pass himself off under nn uliim,:w that his real name is Hir am Ulysses Grunt. Young Grant was admitted to tho Academy at West Point on the rccomcndatiou of the Hon. Thomas L, 1 lamer, an able Democratic member of Congress lrom Ohio, who was afterwards a General of v olnnteors in tho Mexican war and gallantly led his brigade in the lesperato assault ot Monterey, whore, by the by his proteqe distinguished nimscii ns n occouu jjiuiucnani. xiii mcr enrolled his young friend's nameat tho Academy as Ulysses o. ; and u lie was noi ciirisiencti ny iniit uiiiuu m infancy, ho has since been baptized in to it with tho fire and blood of a hun died battles in defenco of tho flag of our Union, so that it w ill doubtless answer to swear him in by next March. Grant smokes, and tho Anti-.tobac co League, selecting- tho ascetic World as their organ, havo issued a fumy ad dress against him. Jt'cannot bo do med that Grant arrested tho eyo of the nation by bis proclivity to smoke. Ho smoked nt Belmont, nt Donelson, and at Pittsburg Landing. Ho smoked furiously at Vicksburg, at unattanoo- ga, nt tho Wilderness, and at Spott- sylvama, and kept it up ait summer until ho reached Tctcrburg. He smoked around Petersburg and Rich mond for nino months, and took a fi nal smoko with Gen. Loo nnder the famous Appomattox applo tree.

Having wholly retired from the army t in 135 1 and gone into the tunning bu siness, im would doubtless nave reM maiucd content to tho end of his days in the slaughter of animals for tlio sake of tlmir hides, hail not the South plunged into a rebelliou that cttft tlio lives of a million of men. Grant par ticipated in this strife ; but it so hap pens that all his ctlorts wcro directed to putting a stop to the caruago at the earliest possible day. While the con- It let raged, ho dealt heavy blows; nut tho people, do not doubt that his doCI- sivo style of conducting tho war was far muro economical of'blood than tlio dawdling muda of some of his col leagues. Nor do thoy forget that his . demand for an unconditional surrender at Fort Donelson stayed the slaughter which had raged around it for throe day; that through his negotiations with Peiuborton ho received tho key of tho Mississippi Valley, thus avoid ing tlio carnigo wnicu woulu nave attended an assault on Vicksburg; that in tho oclebratud letter to Leo which brought tho Confederate chief to a conference, Grant, though he' might have won a good deal of vulgar glory by hurling his dated batallious upon tho reeling lines of Leo, urged him to como to a parley and save, n further effusion of blood. And tlio liberal terms ho yielded to tho Con federate General und his army showed that, so far trom being a bardoned butcher, who loved to riot iu carnage, ho was a generous soldier, who won unwilling to wound even tho fbellugs of his antagonists. Attacks upon tho political princi ples of Grant, and upon the publio ' lolicy ho is presumed to fuvor, area cgitimuto modo of warfare. But potty witticisms about his namo, and vulgar1"" r ' criticisms of his social habits, and more especially serious attempts to depreci ate his military famo, will not fnjuro him, though tho recoil of such weap ons may ovorthrow those who resort tor their use. JN. X. bun. 4 AI'UIIT THK WKOXU MAN. , A few evenings since' a yo'ung man. apparently from tho country, judgiug lrom Uio cut ot his clolhos und the material of which they wcro made carelessly sauntered into a well known gambling hous3 on ono of our princi pal street, und walking up to tho bar asked for something to drink. . The bar-keeper waited upon him, and after drinking ho seated himself in an cosy chair in a careless manner, where ho remained for a considerable time with-' out attracting any notice. Finally,1 tho "stool pigeon" of the establish ment entered tho bar-room and his' attention was called to tho stranger by tho bur-keeper, who had obsorved ft well filled pocket book in tho posses sion of tho "man from tho country" when ho scttletl lor his drink. Seo- -ing a speculation tho "pigeon" invited the stranger to drink, an invitation ho accepted, and in a short time after d . game of "poker" was proposed and tho stranger invited to tako a hand, which proposition ho acccedcd to after,, being pressed to do so. A party of four retired to an upper room, kepi for tho purpose, with the Intontiohy doubtless, oi "plucking" their game; bat tho sequel proved that they had "rcckono 1 without thoir host." The gnmo progressed smoothly ' for some' time, tho stranger winning and losing alternately, but invariably losing moro 1 than ho won, until ho was about five hundred dollars short. Thinking they hud tho greater portion of his money, the party who had set down to "lleeoo" him began tho "bluff game," with tho intention of "beating" him out of the remainder or forcing him to quit the game. This, it appears, was what he lcsircd, and his antagonists being thrown off their guard by his assumed greenness, allowed themselves to bo completely taken in. Ho managed 6v slip in a "cool pack" upon them, and tlio first deal not only won back what ho had previously lost, but about two thousand dollars additional, after' which he left tho establishment, re marking as ho did so that ho would "go and chango clothes, aS that coun try toggery, although profitable, was not comfortable" It was ascertained that ho was a sharper from the East and had assumed tho disguise of a countryman to cnablo him the mbrCf easily to fleece his victims; Pitts, Gazette. ' PARADOXIC'!. The Rochester .Democrat says: "Ho-' ratio Seymour, a few minutes beforo ho was nominated as tho Democratic;' candidate for the Presidency, declared to tho Convention that lie could not and would not accept the nomination if tendered him. lio said that no "could not rcccivo the nomination without placing himself and the Dem ocratic party in a false position." Hff has done so. Ho said his honor was pledged not to receive tho nomination, and "upon a question of honor ha must stand upon his own convictions against tho world." He has accepted tho nomination. He said, that "nonor forbade his accenting a nomination from that Convention." He has ac cepted it. He said that if ho becamo the Democratic candidate tor the pres idency, ho "should fool a dishonored man. He accepts the situation.
