Governor Seymour Tiiken the Stump! From Vie N. T. Time. The Democracy ia recovering a Uttle from Its panto, aud proposes to make another effort for the "Lost Caune." Governor Keymonr ia hinifelf to take the stump. Finding how use less are all the 8p-eob.es made by others ia his behalf, he proposed to bk e what he can say and do for himself. The short time remaining between this and November 3 is to be occu pied W Governor Snyiiiour in advocating his own election. The effort ia well meant, but it will amount to nothing. No man ever yet increased his wn chance of an election to the Presidency by showing his personal anxiety for it. The people never have regarded that offioe as one to be sorambled for or to be given to the man who wanted it most. On the contrary, it has generally fallen to the men who seemed to want it least. Calhoun, Clay, and Webster were universally recognized as men of tran scendent ability and as profound statesmen. They were all ambitious, and all strove ear nestly and strenuously for the Presidency. Jiaoh of them lost it mainly beoause of his in tense anxiety to get ft. We do not reoolleot that any one of them resorted to the desperate expedient of making public speeohes in advo cacy of his own election although they were all quite as powerful and persuasive orators as Mr. Seymour. Hat the people regard disinter estedness, entire and complete unselfishness, as essential to the proper performance of the duties of the Presidency; and when they find any man intensely bent on acquiring the oflloe, they regard that faot as a very strong reason why he should not have it; and they have never given it to such a man. The people, moreover, prefer men of action, to men of words, for that high place. The office is one for aotion, not for speech. The proper place for eloquent men for men whose powers are argumentative, or persuasive, whose strength lies in oratory is Congress. There they can find full scope for their pecu liar gifts. But the Presidency is an executive Office. The President's duty is to exeoute the awa not to persuade men, nor to expound and advocate principles or measures. It is to act, not to talk. And the people have always preferred men of aotion men whose lives had been distinguished by what they had done, rather than men whose greatness was shown only in what they had said. Jackson was elected, Taylor was elected, and Grant will be eleoted, not for their speeches, nor their writ ings, but for their acts of duty, of patriotism, of devotion to the pnblio good. Governor Seymour is nothing but a talker. He has done nothing to commend him to the admira tion or the confidence of the people. It is too late, moreover, for Governor Sey xnonr to produce any very marked effect on popular sentiment by his oratory, no matter how brilliant or splendid it may be. lie has diaoussed all the issues that are involved in the oanvass already. His opinions are per fectly well known. He can say nothing new. Everybody knows what he thinks of the war, of the debt, of the Constitution, and of the Republican party. Everybody understands that be deemed the war utterly unconstitu tional, that he regarded "successful coercion" aa revolutionary, that he looks upon the de struction of slavery as violent and unjust, that he considers the debt oppressive and ruinous, the Constitution as a splendid ruin, and the Republican party as the inoarnation of all evil. He can say nothing new on any of these subjects, nor cau he say anything about them any better or more impressively than he nas said it a hundred times already. He can persuade nobody to vote for him who does not belong to tne Uemocrauo party, ana the chances are that he will fail to persuade a great many thousands of those who do. The fact is the people have a profound and deeply-rooted distrust of Governor Seymour and of the party whioh seeks to make him President. They see and know that neither he nor bis party gave the Government the least support when it was struggling for its own existence that his party has, since the war was over, taken the leaders of the Rebel lion into full fellowship and given them the lead of Its councils that it has planted itself Immovably against everything like progress in the development of republicanism, and has become siinply the patty of reaction that its . platform is revolutionary, its policy is to over turn by force the laws of the land and the State Governments whioh have been formed under them, that violence, bloodshed, and murder are the weapons by whioh its success Is sought in the Southern States, and that the doctrines it lays down, the spirit and temper In whioh they are sustained, and the character of the men who control its aotion, all point to disturbance and continued commotion aa cer tain to result from its elevation to power. Governor Seymonr cannot remove this dis trust by smooth words, nor overbear it by lavish promises. His stumping tour will afford him some aotive out-door exercise, that may be good for his health, and will give his " bearers a good deal of pleasant and innocent entertainment. Bat it will have no more effect On the result of the election than any other noise by which deepondant Demoorats mty seek a temporary diversion from their sorrow ful thoughts. Bring Up the Kcscrycs ! From Wis IT. r. World. In every well-ordered battle, a portion of the foroes are kept out of the earlier parts of the engagement to be used only in the su preme crisis. When the famous Old Guard of Napoleon came thundering to the front, it was a signal that the deoisive hour was at band; that viotory was about to peroh on the banners of a oonquering host. If the battle oould be won without brijging forward the Old Guard, it was considered all the better: thoBe soirred veterans, who knew how 1 1 die but not to surrender, being always willing that other troops should signalize their valor, and win the proud diminution of having their bravest soldiers enrolled In the Old Guard, Which, whether it fought or merely watched, was sure to reap a new harvest of glory from every successful exploit by any part df the Army. The fate of a battle is never decided until the reserves are brought up and have done . their utmost. If one army has reserves, and the other has none; if one has put all its force Into the conflict at the first onset, and the other has kept back its most effective corps for a decisive coup at the supreme moment, that reserve will turn the soile. Immediately After the October elections, the World felt that the time had come for bringing up the Deiuo cratio reserve. It will presently be in the thick of the ooniliot, and It id not difficult to calculate the result. The Republicans have no reserve. In the October elections they did their "level bast." . There is no new clement which they can pos sibly bring into the canvaas. General Grant can do nothing to help them in the final struggle. . Unlike Governor Seymour, he hus not lain back as a mighty reservoir of nnex erUd strength. He is as dumb as an oyster; dumb for the same reason that an oyster is I because he oannot speak. The oontrast bs- I tween the torpid intelleot of the swordsman and tbe broad sagacity of the statesmen will now euiue out wun inn insire. ine nest use to which tbe Republicans can put their candi date is to keep his mouth shut and prevent bis exposing his narrow, barren intel leot. But the most effective use the Democratic parly can make of its candidate is to biing him out, as Disraeli, and Gladstone, and Bright come out and rouse the people by their vigor In a oonteated election. In a great politioal crisis, it is the right of the people to know what their most masouline thinkers and broadest statesmen oan say to enlighten the pnblio judgment. The people have an especial interest in gnaging those who are proposed for the highest official trusts and looked to as the guiding minds of their re spective parties. Guiding minds 1 Whoever thought of General Grant as one of the great political thinkers of his time f or as a re spectable political thinker ? or even as a me diocre political thinker f or as a politioal thinker of any sort or size f He think I He enlighten the pnblio judgment t lit snaps the politioal views of his countrymen I Lie inspire his contemporaries with far-reaching views of public polioyt We never heard that a tortoise oould poise himself in the sky, like an eagle, and take the bearings of a mountain range. It is a function for whioh bin powers of locomotion have not fitted him. What the country needs in this great conjuncture is a statesman. It is a misnomer to apply that term to General Grant. Instead of ranking, like Governor Seymour, with the Gladstones and the Disraelis, he ranks nowhere. He is impotent to do any one thing expeoted of men of that class. If he should ever be President, his very messages, if they rise above inane platitudes and dull recital of statistics, will have to be written for bim by others. The idea of bis recommend ing to Congress anything more important than would ocour to the members, is so absurd as to be grotesque. Of oourse, be has no capacity to infuse a new spirit into this politioal oan vass, or to animate and Illuminate it with great, inspiring thoughts. But in Governor Seymour the Demooratio party has an important reserve of statesmanlike qualities which oan be made to tell at onos on the canvass. His luminous mind and vigor ous eloquenoe will enable bim to lodge in the pnblio mind views that oannot afterwards ba got rid of. So aotive and powerful a mind is sever at the end of its resources; and as sno cess is a mere question of controlling public opinion, and publio opinion is controlled by ideas, he has every advantage, both in the possession of the proper weapons and consum mate skill to use them. He brings rifled artil lery and needle-guns, while all his opponents fight with arms of shorter range and less cali bre, and poor General Grant has no weapon at all. The effeot of Governor Seymour's stamping the canvass with the impress of his own liberal and capacious intellect, will be to efface the raw-head-and-bloody-bonas nonsense and tne obsolete trivialums laeeed into the can vaes from a state of things now completely past. All that the oountry ought to care for is the solution of present questions by methods which fall within the domain of the statesman and exclude t';e methods of the soldier. When pertinent matter is ably pre sented by a statesman possessing unrivalled power to command attention, the foolish irrele vances which have lined so much epaoa iu the canvass will shrink out of view. The im portant practical question is, How many Dew votes will thereby le brought to the Demooratio side ? Is it extravagant to expect four hundred iu Indiana t If not, we shall carry Indiana. Is it beyond bounds to expect four thousand in Pennsyl vania 1 If not, Pennsylvania is also ours; and bo of many other States. But besides a great bringing up of reserves under the mot d'ortre of Governor Seymour, we shall have in Pennsylvania another great advantage which we did not possess in the October election. By redeeming Philadelphia, as we have done, and getting possession of its city government, we nullify a force that was used again3t us, and turn it into a corresponding advantage. It in like capturing the chief battery of the enemy and reversing its guns. By the knavery of the Republican city government and police force, we were cheated out of votes enough in Philadelphia to have Baved us the State. We shall now have in that city a full Demooratio vote and an honest oount. We possess another advantage in the very elation of the Republicans over their success in the State elections. Their over-sanguine confi dence will Blacken their exertions. The cry whioh they have raised of "a Demooratio rout" will simply throw their own troops into disorder. They have committed the fatal mis take of treating a manoeuvre for a better posi tion as if it were a retreat, and they are destined to pay a fatal penalty. The Repub licans will find, after election, how much wiser it would have been to keep by the adage, "not to halloo till you are out of the woods." The Movement to Set Aside Seymour anil lilair llic Gamblers ikhiiid Hie Scenes. Fi-Cto the N. Y. Herald. The puzzle of perpetual motion, the problem ofsquaiing the circle or what became of the ten lort tribes of Israel, are questions not more difficult of solution than the late factious movement in the Democratic camp against Seymour and Glair upon any piesumption of party expediency. The proposition was put forth simultaneously from a Copperhead journal in New York and a Copperhead jour nal in Washington, and was so promptly responded to by several Copperhead journals in New Orleans, Richmond, and elsewhere in the South and West, as to suggest a common understanding among them all. The reasons advanced for the motion to cast Seymour and Blair overboard and to try a new ticket headed by Chase would have been somewhat plausible, with a margin of two or three months of time to work upon; but coming forth within three (hort weeks of th.e Presidential election, the proposition naturally exoited among the honest Demooratio masBeB suspicions of lunacy againBt the guilty parties or of treachery, bribery, and corruption. The reasons assigned for this absurd and suicidal movement were that General Blair's Brodhead letter had "played the very devil" with the Demooratio party in the late Penn ejlvatua, Ohio, and Indiana elections; that but for lSlair and that fatal Utter the Demooraoy might have carried at least Pennsylvania and Indiana; that Blair was the deadweight that broke the party down In October, and would certainly, unless removed, break it up in No vember. It had, therefore, become an impera tive necessity to out off Blair and substitute a man perfectly clear of his damaging heresies. But to "make asBuranoe doubly sure" in this change of front, it was further proposed to substitute Chase for Seymour in order to gain over the conservative balanoe of power from the Republican camp. In short, some great event was needed to challenge at ouoe the publio attention and divert the current of publio condemnation from Blair and his ob noxious letter to the shortcoming of the radicals, and nothing would Bullioe to do this but the change of tbe Demooratio ticket from Seymour and Blair to Chase and Hancock, or Chase and lleudrioks, or Chase and Johnson, or Johnson and Chase, or something of that sort. Snob was the demand made upon the Na tional Demooratio Committee, and snob, the reasons submitted for it by the Copperhead organs oonoerned. A change of commanders forthwith and a change of base were the only things that oonld save the party from a crash ing defeat in November. Mr. Belmont was right when he said in reply that a change of tbe ticket under the oiroumstanoeu was im practicable yea, impossible and if made "would be equivalent to disbanding the forces." The prime movers, however, in volved in the Bcheme, we may safely assume, care nothing for this. They doubtless ex peoted that tbe promulgation of the proposi tion from several Demooratio papers at onae, and from the cliques behind them, would oreate suoh consternation in the general oatnp as to compel Mr. Belmont and his oommitten to change the ticket at all hazards. But why Should these disturbing cliques be so despe rate, clamorous, and persistent ia this project if they cared nothing for the consequences t We think we oan answer this question. These men were not bought to do this thing by the "bloated bondholders," nor by Republican money. The Republicans all along felt too sure of their game to waste their greenbacks in any such useless investments. But we have no doubt that the sporting ciroles, the ancient and powerful fraternity of gamblers of New York, Washington, Cincinnati, Rich mond, and New Orleans, did this thing. How andwbjf We remember a story of the Balti more Demooratio Convention of 1852. While the Convention was blindly hammering away upon Cass, Baohanan, Douglas, Maroy, Hous ton, Lane, Dickinson, and others, an out sider remarked to a friend, "It's no use, old fogies. All the heavy gamb lers of the United States are in town, and they are all for Douglas first, and second for any young man against any old fogy." And this is the power from whioh this anti-Seymour and Blair movement has ema nated the Demooratio fraternity of gamblers. They have their headquarters and their newspa per lacqueys in Washington, New York, and in other places. They are ia the whisky rings, the tobacco rings, and all the other rings. They bad made heavy bets upon these late October eleotions, which they lost; but they had heavier bets depending upon Seymonr and Blair, on the general result, and on New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana in the grand November election. Their October losses they might stand, but their bets for November of the same character would swamp them, and there was no help for them but in the withdrawal of Seymour and Blair. Hence the movement to get this ticket set aside, which would set aside all bets made upon it or upon either of these candidates. This, we dare cav, is the seoret of this anti Seymour and Blair movement, and here we have a glimpse of the parties behind the scenes. This explanation, too, is coherent and consistent throughout. It presents an object in large amounts of cash, to be saved simply with the withdrawal of Seymour and Blair an object which has nothing to do with the consequences to the party. The Demooratio sporting gentlemen go into a Presidential con test as they go into the business of a faro bank or a keno table. They go iu to win. Thus the Hon. John Morriseey, a good Democrat, won considerable money, they bay, by betting on the Republicans in the late Pennsylvania election. And what to these men Is Seymour or Blair, or 'any other candidate, if they see that they will lose money on him if kept in tne neia, ana save t no ui-anus of money if he is Bet aside, in siviug their bst3 ? As for the newspaper gipsies aud Bohemians coucerned. they, too, like our model Aldermen, are always "on the make." But is this subordination to the fraternity of gamblers a smalt thing in the degradation of tne party press r Governor Seymour on the Stamp From the If . T. Tribune. The World, fancying that there has been too much lilair to tne proportion of Seymour in the national canvass thus far, is ravished with the thought that its candidate for President is about to take the stump in behalf of his own eleotion. "Governor Seymour's coming ac tively into the canvass," it says, "supplies a lacking force which was needed to turn the tide of viotory in favor of the Demooratio hosts." "This is the one thing needed to insure a Demooratio triumph." This assumes that Seymour's appearance in the canvass is a novelty, Jiut General Harrison spoke fre quently in the canvass of 1840, whioh resulted in his election to the Presidency, and Senator Douglas canvassed nearly every State in the ocntest or law, when be obtained the entire vote of one third-class State, and nearly half tne vote oi another, mere is no objection to any one s speaKlntr whom a crowd can be col lected to hear; and, if Governor Seymour would improve his novel opportunity to retraot tne gross misstatements of his Connecticut ppeech last spring, we should deem his reap pearance on tne stump not only useful but creditable. Governor Seymour and the stump are old acquaintances. In lSu'-l he was Governor of our State, and had for two years wielded the ereat nower aud natrons? of that noeitian. lie had throughout that period commissioned ail the onicers in our state's van oontribution to the national volunteer foroes, making his appointments and promotions grossly partisan in subserviency to his own ambition. He had presided over the late Democratic National Convention, and aided in giving it a platform after his own heart. He had organized a "State Guard," of whioh regiments were called out at sundry points to enhance the attractions of his meetings. With all these advantages, the uovernor took the stump, and from county to county reiterated, to ap plauding crowds, his demonstration of these propositions: I. No progress has yet been made towards conquering the Rebellion. II. We have already incurred so van a debt that all the property of the country Is virtu ally confiscated thereby. III. Yet a little while, and no farm or build ing will have any value, the taxes necessarily levied thereon requiring or balancing its entire rent. IV. The credit of the Southern Confederacy in Europe is decidedly better thau that of the Union, and money can be borrowed thereon at more favorable rates than on that of our Gov eminent. V. If Mr. Linooln should be chosen Presi dent, the war will continue through the next four years, and will absorb all that remains of our property, whelming the whole oountry in irretrievable ruin. These nrorositions were illustrated and en foroed at various meetings, in a strain of assertion and argument that would have eli cited ringing cheers throughout from either of the Kebel armies then nebting to destroy the Union. They carried oomfort and cheer to the soul of every Rebel and Rebel syinpa thizer who heard them, but they didn't defeat wr. Lincoln, nor did they re-eleot Governor incur. The World asserts that "not even Mr. Hoff man can command a single Demooratio vote wmuu wouia not be given with greater aiao rity to the idol of th Nw York D-iniooraoV. There Is no oandldate who adds to the Btreneth 01 beynionr: but Governor Sev mour always adds to the strength of the most popular candidate voted for at the same eleo- tk."
