Tub letter of Mr. Seymour, which, we published In a late edition on Wednes day, and on whiok we made some comments a few days since, being a care fully prepared document, is one to whiok popular attention cannot be too closely directed. To impress on the minds of the people its real object, we venture, even at the risk of repetition, to point out its two-fold purpose. After devoting thirty days to meditation, if not to prayer, Mr. Horatio Seymour makes pnblio a carefully prepared campaign docu ment, showing the reasons why he should be elected President of the United States. Nomi nally the lengthy paper is a letter of ac ceptance, but aa he had already aocepted in person, and presided over the Convention which gave him the nomination, some people may think that it is rather superfluous. Under the guiae of accepting he really endeavors to accomplish two objects. The one is to oover tip the fearful blunder made by Ida colleague, General Blur, in his letter making a bid for the nomination. The Other is to attack General Grant oovertly, as lie dare not do it openly. The first objeot is too palpable to be for a moment concealed, lie has doubtless notioed the universal indig nation and general alarm caused by the recent letter of the would-be Vice-President. lie Bees that it was a mistake to lay aside the mask so soon; that what would arouse great enthusiasm among the Rebels of Missouri would cause nothing but alarm among the people of the North, especially upon the conservative portion. lie therefore snubs Blair by the fol owing reassuring sentence: "The Republican pi y, as well as we, are In terested In putting sum cueclc upon tills vio lence. It must be clear in every i hinklnK man tbat a division of political power tend tr dieelt tbe violence of parly aoilou aud to amurn toe peaoe and good order of society. The election of a Democratic Executive anri a m jority of Demo orotic mcmbtrs to the Haunt of Itpt exentittives would not give to tint parti uriaiiizulion thepo'ver to make sudd-n or violent chinqri, but it would serve to check those extreme m'anurm which h'tve been deplored by the beat men of Octh political or fanizations, Tue resun. would iuo.il certainly eart to mat peaceful restor.it Ioq of the Unlou and re-esiat llsbiDPtt of fraternal relailonsulp Which tbe country deflrea." Says Blair, the only issue is the overthrow of the reoonstruoted States, It needs ba at the point of the bayonet. The eleotion of a Demo cratic Executive would mean that and nothing more. Says Seymour, "the election of a Democratic Executive would not give to that party organization power to make sudden or violent changes." How can these two be reconciled f The one breathes forth fire and slaughter, the other peace and conservatism. There is but one way to account for these contradictions. The letter of the Presidential aspirant is intended for Northern oonserva. tives. They are to be caught by its soft mur murs. The letter of the Vice-Presidential nominee is intended for Southern Rebels, and it requires severe tones of vengeanoe for them, and to him is allotted the task of doing the dangerous for their edifijatiou. But this two faced Janus will never have its temple ou our Capitol Hill. The most evident object of this long letter is hardly more clear than the seoond point aimed at. General Grant, warned by the fatal lessou of Executive obstinacy, in his letter of aucept anoe stated that he would have no policy to oppose to the will of the people. Against this Mr. Seymour makes his attack. He says: "No man who has weighed and itieanuruil the duties of tbe office of FTesUleut of toe Uoltei fcilales can lall to be Impressed with the cares and tolls of blm who 1m to meet lis ilti'muii. It u not merely to float with popular currents, with out a policy or apurpose. Ou the noutr-ry, w ille our Constitution gives Just weight to the public will. Its dlaiiiiKulsuing immure is that it Mefks to protect tue rights ot minor uie. lu greatest glory Is Ibal It puts restraints upon power. "No man cau rightfully enter m on the duties Of the Pretddenlliil olline. unless he U not only Willing to carry out I be wishes of tue pnople ex pressed in a constitutional way, but Is also pre. pared to stand up lor the rights of minorities." There is a wide difference, as Mr. Sdymour knows full well, between bending to the de clared wish of the people and being ''floated on popular currents without a policy or a purpose." And when he so pointedly en deavors to put his opponent in a false posi tion, he oversteps the limits which oustom has always ordained to be the standard of pro priety. The idle talk of the rights of minori ties is pointless. If Mr. Seymour is elected, we, the Republicans, will be the minority; and what rights of ours will receive his fostering are f '. Now the Democracy are the minority, and we hear loud cries for their rights. Then we will be the minority, and they the majority, anl the cries will have ceased. "The Devil was nick, Tbe Devil a saint would be; Tbe Devil got well, And Die devil a saint was he." i The real effect of the letter is to falsify facts, and to woo over Republican votes. In no less than eight places do we find it as serted that the Republican leaders of wisdom and discretion are opposed to the policy of the party in regard to reconstruction. This is not true. The Senate, among Its last acts, passed by a strictly party vote, antl-impeaoh-ers and all uniting together, the bill relative to the Electoral Colleges of the Southern States, and the House did exactly the same thing. On the subject of reconstruction the Republican party of every State stands a solid phalanx. With a consummate power of mis representation, Mr. Seymonr fills hts letter with jnttt such falsehoods, and so glaring are they tbat instead of aiding him, his accept ance will do infinitely more good for the chances of Grant and Colfax than it will for thoge of, tli9 writer aitf bis wiM colleague. Queen Victoria's Visit to the Continent. It is announced that during Queen Victoria's visit to the Continent, the old custom of esta blishing a Counoll of Regency during the ab sence of the sovereign from his dominions will not be maintained. . The duties of the Queen are so slight and .unimportant that it is a matter of very little consequence where she resides, provided she can maintain telegraphic communication with London. She has been so thoroughly stripped of influence that nothing remains but the mere shadow of authority, and the British King or Queen of this era is of even less political consequence than the spiritual Emperor of Japan. The real Tycoon is the Prime Minister, and the only remnant of peer left to the sovereign is the privilege of designating who shall attempt to form a new administration when Parliament evinces a firm determination to enforce a change of rulers and of polioy. Even this power is very limited, for publio opinion and the predominating sentiment of the House of Commons has a muoh greater share In de termining who shall become premier than the private wishes of the Queen. She still retains the right, however, of discarding from her counoils any politician who is personally offen sive, and the knowledge of this fact has suffi cient influence upon the aspiring men of the realm to make them anxious to avoid incur ring the marked displeasure of their sovereign. Democratic Statistics About the Poli tics of the Soldiers. Ik a report of a Democratic meeting at Port land, it is stated that the Seoretary of the recent Democratic National Convention, Mr. B. O. Perrin, said: "According to the record of the War Depart ment we bad in round numbers 8 000 000 men la tbe army. Mr Lincoln received 1,800.000 votes, and there represent tho strength of tbe Hepub Iiohd party. Where did tbe rest ootne from T Put down tbe figures I have given you, subtr tot one from tbe ether and you will aee how many Democrats went to war." This is a free specimen of Democratic statis tics. The speaker assumes that there were 3,000,000 different men in the army at one time, that this imposing martial array included all the persons who voted for Mr. Linooln, but that there necessarily remained 1,200,000 sol diers of the Democratic faith I Any person of common sense who reflects for one moment will peroeive that the entire argument is fallacious, and that a false application is given to every assertion made by the speaker. It is well known that many of the soldiers were young men who had neither voted at nor before the Presidential election of I860. A very large proportion of the entire army was made up of this class, and this faot alone is sufficient to prove that it is impossible to ascertain the politics of the soldiers by the vote polled in the memorable Linooln, Doug las, Breckinridge, and Bell campaign. In the next place, of the 3,000,000 soldiers enrolled, the names of many persons were re ported, in different enlistments. We do not here refer to bounty-jumpers who may have figured under a hundred different names, but to bona fide enlistments. The call was for 75,000 soldiers for three months. When this term expired many of the same men re-enlisted. And there were an immense number "of re-enlistments, not only among one year men, but among the veterans, who continued in the service after a three years' struggle, and among the volunteers who, acting in the first instance temporarily to repel invasion, subsequently enlisted for the war. During the elections whioh were held in 18C2, 'C3, and 'G4, while the war was pro gressing, the votes polled in the Northern States, exclusive of the soldiers' vote, was but little if any less than the vote of 1860, and if Mr. Perrin had remembered this ciroumstauce he would have seen the folly of his Portland argument. It is undeniable that a large number o patriotic Democrats went to the war, serving their country with praiseworthy zeal and courage. A large proportion of these patriots, however, when they became fully imbued with the conscience of the fight, resolved to act, and have acted ever since, with the Republi can party. Generals Grant, Logan, Geary, Sickles, and hosts of others, are types ef this patriotio class. The fact remains that the Republicans unani mously sustained the vigorous prosecution of the war, while a large proportion of the North ern Democracy opposed it, some of them re sorting to devices scarcely one degree less criminal than open treason. How? The Democracy profess the most unbounded faith in their ability to elect Seymour, and by meeting together and cheering each other on are positively working themselves into the conviction that such a thing is possible. Of course, as to the state of the feeliBgs of the opposition we have nothing to say; but lest certain of the unwary should be deluded and bet freely, as they have done for years past on every anticipated triumph, we would suggest to the gentlemen so busily engaged in the cheerful task of flinging around their money, that they think for a moment how this much desired end is to be accomplished. There are but three States on whioh they can assuredly count, Maryland, Delaware, and Kentucky. Granting that they carry Naw York, giving them Pennsylvania and New Jersey, where is the vote to come from ? They do not antiol pate, even in their wildest moments, carrying Ohio or the other Western States. The Eist, except Connecticut, is hopelessly against them. Where, then, is the majority to come from? It is all very well to talk of having the ticket elected, but it would be well for those who blindly eoho the chimes of the leaders to Bee how it is to be accomplished. It must be remembered that it is the policy of political managers to seoure as much confidence among their followers as possible, and that acting oa this principle they do not calculate to delude even their friends. As a rule, the people know quite as much about how an eleotion is going to turn out aa the Executive Committees. I Everything is based on estimates, and these can be made np pretty nearly as well by the private in the ranks as the general. Remem bering this fact, we urge the deluded Demo crata not to follow their leaders blindly. And, in doing so, we are influenced by the purest charity and a Christian desire to save their pockets. , The Debt. Thb statement of the publio debt for the 1st of August shows a number of facts which cannot but be of interest to the people. The total debt has deoreasei $10,164,809; but the amount of gash on hand has been reduoed yet further;' so that the amount standing against the United States less cash on hand, has increased $13,288,093. The debt itself at the present moment amounts to $2,601,378, 756, while the grand total less cash on hand, leaves the handsome balance oa the debit side of 12,523,534,480. These are figures merely, and convey only an approximate idea of what the debt reaches. None of us can imagine a hundred million, yet here we have some thing so fabulous as almost to require a new system of enumeration. Goon Democratic Aboumeht. The Louis ville Journal Is nettled by the list of Union Generals who support Grant, as contrasted with tbe Rebel supporters of Seymour, and says: "What sort of Republicanism la tbat which would honor Generals Thomas, Sherldun, and Meade, and degrade Generals Forrest and Hampton? Forrest Is as good a man as Sherl. dan, and a belter cavalryman No radical will pretend to say tbat Hampton Is Inferior in talent, virtues, or accomplishments to Thomas. Now, If this is a tree government, wby-ehould discriminations be made la favor of one set ot men as against another? When General Hampton was at the head of bis legion, and General Forrest was In bis saddle, Ibty did not pretend to be citizens of the United Stales. They levied an honest and a vigorous war against the United States for the purpose of establishing not a monarchy or an empire, but a separate republic. They fought splendidly and skilfully. They achieved tue homage ol the whole world for valor and abili ties. But they failed; and the failure Implying a', restoration of, the Union, they surrendered and resumed their allegiance. To say that either might not tnter the UnlUd States Senate the day after, Is to say that republicanism is a dead letter." A Chance fob Blair. "The appearance," stays the New York 'Jimes, "of the name of Lytch (we don't know whether he Is a white manor a black, a Spaniard or an American) amofcg tbe revolutionary leaders lu Hayti, sug gests a passing wonder that Borne capable aud determined white Iron-clad bummer of the Walker type has not yet taken the trouble to make his appearance among these wretched barbarians and reduce them to order. Haytl Is a country of the most marvellous resources, beauty, and attraotlveness; yet Its people are sinking lower every year for want of a strong government capable of keeping them from kill Iuk each otner. It would be an easy thing for a good stout man, such as Frank Blair or John Mortlssey, to thrash them Into decency, with a little at-slbtunce." By all mesua let uuur uto this chance. Morrlssey has had his hand In such business already. Agriculture in Cuili. It appears tbat an agricultural exhibition will be opened In the capital of Chill on the 1st of April, 1809 the first event of the kind In tbe South American Republics. Chill has already Imported ma chinery and agricultural Implements of various descriptions toa largeextenl; av.d It Is expected that tbe exhibition, by directing tbe attention of the people to the most reoent Improvements In tbe Implements Bultuble to their wants, will cause a great increase In tbe demand for them, and tend to the rapid development of the resources of the couu try . The soil is extremely fertile; and tbe population being soanty In pro portion to the extent of territory, all labor saving materials are employed to the greatest advantage. Of late, very heavy shipments of wheat have been made from Chill of most superior quality, and the high prices obtained seem certain to Increase the production. Tremendous! The Louisville Democrat pro claims through Us display bead lines that "A Rottllng, Rousing, Streaming, Golden, Glo rious Democratic Triumph" has been gained in Kentucky, which Illustrates "The Advantage of Consolidated, United, Stavlng.Uld fashioned, Unadnlterated Democratlo Principles." We suppose that tho "unadulterated" artiole which made such "staving" havoo with tbe Demo crat's types, as well as with the opposition ticket, was the famous old Kentucky Bourbon, Ravages of the Cattle Fever. The Plltbburg Commercial of yesterday says: "The came tlague still continues a toplo of geneial disout'Slou, and the operations at the stock yards are wulohed with absorbing Inte rest. We are glad to be able to report Itiat the ulseuse has thus far been confined exclusively to the lot of aflected oalileshipped to this plaoe from Chicago, and that nearly all of those have either died, been killed by order of the meat Inspector, or shipped Matt. Home of those whlon bad been among me diseased .lot, but were con sidered beaitby, were shipped East yesterday. Sixty oar loads in all were tient forward yester day by the Pennsylvania Railroad. Kighteeu car loads arrived from the West, and one hun dred and eighty car loads Bill! remain lu the pens. But very few of the supposed alfeoted animals are left, and as soou as the symptoms deveiop themselves the victim Is kuooked lu the bead. It la believed that in a day or two tbe yards will be entirely freed from the "A tChlcago the disease has found Its way Into the Union stuck yards, and several deaths have occuired. Some live thousand bead of native cuttle were lu the pens, aud some four thou sand head of Texas catlle outside. Native entile that mix wl-h tbe Texas stock take the contagion and die." The Chicago Pout says: "We tire lniormed tbat ou one of the latter days of last week an Indignation meeting of some live bandied clilzeus was heU near Kankakee, In ibis Slttie, where the disease Is raging. A large number of Texas cattle are herded In that vicinity, and tne owner was oilled to account, the people threatening to kill oil' all hie stock if tney were not Immedi ately lemoved. Tbe people were, however, pacified by his representing tbat It would do no good to remove them alter the harm had been done, and promising to make good the loss of all the catile which should die of the disease lu i bat tieigubomiiod." The St. Louis Dtmocrat says: 'We are credibly lu formed tnat a number ol Bulls will be eotnmeuced immediately for dama ge, by persons who have lost cows recently, as Is mi posed by the brlugtng of Trfxas cattle into the American Bottom. On the 27lh of February, 1K07, the Legislature of Illinois passed an act fixing tbe penalty of nut more than f 1000 flue, aud not more ibun one year's Imprisonment lu tbe county jail, or both Hue and linprisonmeut, against buy person who may bring Into this Hi ate, or keep In tbelr possession, In pasture or otherwise, any Texas or Cherokee catile. The Bulla will, therefore, be brougbt against tbe cattle-drovers and the keepers of lnulosuren lined for pasturage. Wesuould bave aim) added that tbe owners ol tbe deceased oows are enti tled to damages lor their loss." Indiana dairies are at a stand still. The disease among the cows is spreading frightfully. The LnlcHt Disappearance. . ' A rumor gained currency yesterday after noon that Mr. Samuel Strong, a member of the Oren Board of Brokers and Chairman of tbe Albltratlon Committee, of that bmlv, had ab sconded, leaving a deficit of about iUO.UOO lo bis bank account. Mr. Htroug, who has ever been esteemed a reaporiHlble and reliable man, ba not been at his office or attended tbe Board for three days past. His account at the Mechanics' Banking Association Is aaid to have been over draw to about tbe amount above mentioned, and be waa known to have made a heavy de posit at another bank. He is suppoaed to be still In this city, and hUconduot in the matter Is, to those who know him, inexplicable.
