Th Trait of Thirty DayV Thought.
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

occuired. Some live thousand bead of native

"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

oilled to account, the people threatening to

The St. Louis Dtmocrat says:

"And what Is your name, sir?" said he to the next
boy.
"am," bluntly remarked the youth
'Weil, say Samuel; It sounds better."
And Samuel rang out his lull name in th ears of
the learned man. ,
"And what shall I call your" was the question to
hoy Ho. 8.
Tbe number three boy looked gravely into tht eyes
of tbe man ol letters, and respectfully made answer,
"Jimuel, it you please, sir."
Tbe explosion ot delightful mirthful aess which fol
.'owed, Is stated by all the newspaper reporters pre
setit, to have been second only to the delightful
nilnh experienced and manifested by every boy,
when arrayed In anew suit of ROIKHILL Wili
