Contradictory Versions of the Demo
cratic Creed.
Thk New York Convention contained too many
adroit and scheming politicians to permit un
eqnirooal aotion on the leading issues of the
day. They purposely designed that diverse
constructions should be given to their plat
form, and that their candidates should possess
contradictory records. No man in the country
could have been more aoceptable to the anti
war Demooracy than Iloratio Seymour, while
Blair was terribly in earnest in his anta
gonism to the Rebellion, as long as
Rebel armies remained in the field.
Yallandigham readily recognized in Sey
mour a congenial spirit, and a type of the
class who scarcely attempt to conceal their
conviction that every Union soldier was a foe
to constitutional liberty. And yet, appeals
are being made to the men who were de
nounced as "Lincoln's hirelings" and as
"abolition emissaries," to support Seymour
because his assooiate on the Democratic ticket
was a Oeneral of the Union army; and Blair's
military deeds are vaunted to the skies
as the most daring and useful ex
ploits of the war. The platform as
explained by various Democratic organs is a
complete riddle. The New York World con
tends that the financial planks contain nothing
that the most timid bondholder can deem ob
jeotionable, while the Cincinnati Eiiquirer de
clares that they are "a substantial affirmation
of Mr. Pendleton's policy;" that "it is a set.
tied part of the Democratic creed that the
Five-twenty bonds are to be paid in green
backs," and that "this is a proud triumph, of
the people over the Londholding influence
which has made such a bitter and vin-
diotive
fight against it." We also ob-
serve
thized
in journals that openly sympa
with the Rebellion the claim
that the Democratic Convention in nominating
Oeneral Blair distinctly endorsed the views
advocated in his letter to Colonel Broiueal,
and thus oommitted itself to revolutionary an
tagonism to the reconstruction policy of Con
gress. The Rebels do not attempt to conceal
their gratification at this enlistment of their
Northern associates in the ranks of a new re
bellion, and they dwell with special unction
rjpon this feature of the Democratic creed.
On the other hand, some of the oracles of the
Northern Democracy deny that the party is
committed to the views enunciated
by General Blair. They readily discern
the difficulties they will enoouuter in attempt
ing to resist the popular demand for acquies
ence in the adjustment which has already
been made. Business men and patriotio citi
zens of all parties demand peaoe. The re
bellious States have caused, through the
maohinations of their rebellious politicians,
enough trouble to the country, and the plan
which has been devised of giving loyal
men a leading influence in their councils
affords ' the only practical method of
insuring the future safety and security
of the nation. The more sagacious Democratic
journals have confessed that, as reconstruction
cannot be overthrown by peaceable and Con
stitutional means, the continued agitation of
this subject can only be productive of mis
chievous results. But the Rebels proudly
point to Blair's nomination, ia the face of his
Brodhead letter, as a conclusive proof that
the party is committed to its dangerous doc
trines. During the campaign the election of Sey
mour and Blair will be systematically advo
cated in different seotions on directly opposite
grounds. The "unchangeable" Demooraoy
will not hesitate to tone down or up their plat
form to suit every latitude. Wall street wil1
be consoled with a financial creed very different
from that avowed in the West, and the South
will be regaled with doctrines that will rarely
or never be uttered ia the commercial centres
of the North.
Iloratio Seymour and the Itebel Com
mtsaiouerg.
If there is one office in the gift of the people
the oooupaut of which should be above all
suspicion and reproach, that office is tin
Presidency of the United States. It seems
positively foolish to argue that the President
Should be honest and trusted, but above all
things else he should be patriotic. The head
of a ore&t nation must be a devoted and un
swerving lover of that nation. In his hauds,
to a great extent, rests the fate of America.
Suppose during the war we had had a man for
President who had not been true to the cause
of the Union, what form of a government
would we have had to-day ? To place the
almost regal power of Chief Eseoutive ia the
hands of any oue but a publio servant whose
faith has been tried, would be most unwise
To place that power in the hands of one bus.
peoted of want of patriotism ia the darkest
hour of the national peril, would be criminal
Viewed, then, in this light, how do the claims
Of Iloratio Seymour to the Presidency of the
United States appear ? Does he stand so
high as to appear beyond all questioa.so
far as bis patriotism concerned r uoes an
inspection of his record during the war die
cover no blot upon his fume ? If there is even
a sufpiolon, we ought not allow him to be
President. The evidenoe against him, how
ever, justifies more than a suspicion. It is
sufficient ground for the conviotlon that
"Watio Seymour daring the war was a friend
of Rtbfh if not in league with tht Rtbel authori
ties at Richmond. We have already referred to
his evident complicity with the New York
rioters. He did not hand them oat arms;
he did not lead them in person; bat by hU
words instigated them to the exaot coarse
which they took this day live yean ago.
There is the clearest connection between the
cause and the effeot, and no unprejudiced
mind can fail to see it. This is one story
But troof follows proof, and before the oam
paign is over the whole connection of Iloratio
Seymour with the Riohmond Rebels will, we
Lope, be made clear. The Columbus Journal
publishes the affidavit of James Sidney Ilill,
late United States Consul at New Brunswiok.
It was made on June 2, 1804, or long before
any connection existed between Qovernor
Seymour and the Presidential Chair. It was
part of the duty of the Consul to watch the
movements of C. C. Clay, the Rebel agent for
piratical expeditions from Canada, and the
result of his watching he oommunioated to
the State Department. We publish that part
which bears directly on the subject:
"V. C. C'lny took from a pocket li the back of
blti intude coit a paokaKe coutmulog f ur or Ave
lelieiB or d Bpatcties. I bad one of itiese docu
roeiile In my bund; It wns addressed to nU K

Uet.pal.cbeB to Governor Heyinour."
What right has a man oonneoted ia any
way which required seofesy, with the agents
of the Rebellion, to aspire to the Presidency of
the United States ? What was the mysterious
bond of union between the Rebels and the
Governor? Is it not fair, considering the
darkness in which the subject ha3 been en
veloped, to suppose that the communications
were not of a charaoter to bear inspec
tion f Let the people think of the
attitude ia which Iloratio Seymour
stands. lie is known to have
been in communication with the rebels. Sup
pose we elect him President, what guarantee
have we that the same union which now con
nects them in a bond of crime, may not con
tinue and rule the White House ? Is there not
every probable reason to suppose it will?
This may give a cue to the speech of ex-Gov.
Wise of Virginia, and Gov. Vanoe of North
Carolina, reported in the conservative organ,
the N. Y. 2'imes. It says:
"Governor Vance unoke at ereat length, re
pealing bis New York apeeej, Niiylng m addl-
lou inereto. However, mat ne count lam more
fumillatly of the wrongs ot tne Bouth here iban
at tbe North. His Idea was that wnat the Con
federacy f nunt f.T would be won by ibeelection
of Seymour and Blair. He was followed by Gov
ernor Wife, whose greatest expression was that
bedtduol care for the platform. It told a lie
in its first resolution. It said secession was
dead; that was not bo; secesHlou waa more alive
than ever. He supported the nominee1!, aud
esptclallv Biuir, because be had declared tuat
be would assume military power."
With the affidavit from which we have
quoted, before us, can we deem that the fer-
vant anticipations of the two Rebel governors
are not well grounded ? These men know of
what they speak, and it only remains for the
people of the North to decide whether they
shall have their anticipations fulfilled. When
we compare this semi-rebel with oar own
great nominee he whose life has been one
unswerving devotion to the cause of Union
and freedom can we hesitate to chastise the
sympathizer, and place the highest crown of
honor on the head of General Grant ?
One of the American Fenians who had been
arrested by the British Government for his
connection with rebellious movements in
Ireland, but was subsequently released at the
rtqueet of Mr. Seward, is lecturing in the
Western States on "the exact worth of adopted
citizenship sixteen months' experience o
penal servitude in British dungeons," a sub
ject which implies that he is disgusted with
the tardy action of the American authorities.
While we favor such an interpretation of the
naturalization laws as will afford to the fulles
extent, to adopted citizens, every species of
protection that is awarded to native-born
Americans, it is but just to demand that
naturalization shall also be perfected by the
applicant for a home and citizenship in the
United States. The man who, coming here
from Ireland, France, Germany, or England,
leaves his heart in his native country,
and suffers sympathy for its real or its imagi
nary wrongs to override his sworn obligations
to respect our laws, and who uses his mantle
of American citizenship merely to secure his
personal safety when he legally embroils him
pelf in rebellious movements against the
dominant authorities of his native land, has
never been "naturalized" in the true sense of
the word. Such citizens can In no event do
much good, and may do much harm to the
oountry that harbors them. If their unrea
sonable demands were acoeeded to the nation
would be perpetually embroiled in expensive
and fruitless wars, and one raid or fillibuster
ing expedition would succeed another in end.
less succession, until foreign Governments
would unite in treating the United States as a
common enemy,
If Horatio Seymocb has any one strong
point to commend him to the support of the
American people it must be found in his ad
vocacy of a red notion of the governmental
expenditures. But in contrast with his
theoretical schemes of reform, General Grant's
practical aotion in the War Department de
serves special commendation. The moment
he was installed in a civil office be directed
his energies to the reduoMon of the burthens
of tbe people with such success that the
annual estimates and expenditures for mili
tary purposes were diminish ed many millions
of dollars.
TEXAS.
