The Dimktetitic BELLSFONTN, PA. FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 14,1868. Gov. Seymour's Letter of Acceptance The following is Gov. Bernour's for mal letter of aceeptance of the Demo• end° nomination for.tbe Presidency lITAce., -Nam You, August 9th, 1868. Gmtirtinses :—When in the city of Now York, on the 11th ultimo, in the presence of a vast multitude, en behalf of the National Demoeistic Convention, you tendered to me its unanimous nomi nation as their candidate for the office of Preildent of the United States, I meted that I had no words adequate to express my gratitude for the good will kindness that body has shown to me. Its nomi nation was unsdngbt and unexpected. It was my ambition to take an active put—free which I am now excluded— in the great struggle going on for the restoration of agood Government, of pesos and provperity to the country, be. I have been naught up by theowkelming tide ' , Web is bearing us on to a -great. political change,, apd I find myselfmna ble to resist its pressure. You have also given me a copy of the reasons put forth by - the Convention, showing We position upon all the great question* which now agitate the coun try. As the presid.ng officer of that Convention, I am familiar with their seeps and import; moose of its members I.** a port, to its terms. They are in accord with my •iews, ana Lstand upon them in the contest which we are now entering, and I shall strive to carry them out in future, wb I may be placed, in political or private life I tben 'stated that 1 would bend you their words of acceptance in a letter, as is the customary form. I see noresson, upon redaction, to change or qualify the terms of my approval of the resolu tions of the Convention. I have delayed thimere formal act of communicating to you in writing what I thus publicly said, for the purpose of seeing what light the action of Congress wonid throw upon the interests of the country. Its sets, since the adjournmentof the Convention, shows an alarm lest a change of political power will give to the people what. they ought to have, a clear statement of what has been dole - with the money drawn from them during the last eight years. Thoughtful men feel that there have been wrongs in the financial management which have been kept from the public knowledge. The Congressional party has not only allied with ,itself that military power which is to be brought to bear directly upon the elehitiou if Wily States._but held. Itself in perpetual session with the avowed purpose, of making such laws as it shall see fit. In view of the elections whicb will take place within a few weeks it did therefore not adjourn. bat look a recess, to meet again if its partisan interest. shall demand its teas 'ambling. Never before in the history of our country has Congress thus taken a menacing attitude towards the aleo tors. Under its influence some of the States organised by it. agents are proposing to deprive the people of the right to vote for the Presidential electors, and the tree bold steps are taken to destroy the rights of suffrage. It is net strange, therefore, that thoughtful men see is such action the proof that tbere is with flume who shape the policy of the Re publwan party motives stronger and deeper that the mere wish to hold polit ical power; that there is a dread of come exposure which draws them to WA ao desperate and so impolitic. Many of the 101E44 leaders and journal. of the Republican party have openly deplored the violence of Congressional action and its tendency to keep op discord in our country The great Interests of our country de mand peace, order and a return tot LOUBose in ternational pursuits. without which we eannot maintain the faith or honor of our government. The minds of business men are perplexed by uncertainties; the hours of toil of our lab eeeee are lengthened by the costs of living made by the direct and indirect exactions the government ; our people are ha rassed by the frequent • demands of thn tax gatherer. Without distinotion of party there is • *trot( .feeling in favor of that line of action whioh shall restore order and eentidenee, and shall lift off the burden', which sow hinder and vex the industry of the country Yet at this moment those in power have thrown into the Senate chamber', sad Congressional halls a new element of discord and violence. MIS have been admitted as representatives et some of the Southern States with the declara tion upon their lipstbat the, cannot, lira in the States they claim to rep without military protection.

Proof of that tan only have sure foundation in fraternal regard and a 00M030111 desire to promote, the peace,the order and the happinesa of all penitent, of our laud. Events its Congress since the adjournment of the Convention have vastly increased the importance of a political victory be them who are seeking to brills back economy. 'simplicity and justice in the adtuinistre tioneof our natinnal affairs. Many Republishing bare :heritofore clung to their party who have regretted the - eitremee, of violence *to which it has run. They bare cherished a faith that while the action of their 'political friends may hive been mistaken, their motives have been good. They must POW see that the Republican party ix in that condition that it cannot carry Out a Tolley. Wbatever its motives may be, It is a misfortune not only to a country, bat to • government, and the party itself, who:fits action is unchecked by any form-of oppoettion.- -•-• It has been the misfortune of the Re publican party that the evente of the past few years have given it such pow er that it has been able to shackle the Executive, to trammel the Judiciery end carry out the views of the most unwise and violent of its members. When this stale of things.. exists in any party, it has been found that the In lgment of ice ablest leaders do not control. There is hardly an able man who hse helped to build up the Republican organization who has not within the pest three years warned it against its excess who has not been htorne down and forced to gtvr up his coh•iotions of what the ioterests of the country call for, or if too patriot. is to do this, who has not been driven from its ranks. If this has been the case heretofore, what will be to action with this new infusion of men who, without • decent respect for the views of those who bad just given them their positions, begin their legisla tive career with calla for arms and de weeds that States shall be regarded as in condition of civil war, and a declara tion that they are ready and anxious to degrade the President of the Wilted States wiz" hey can persuade or force Congress to bring forward new •r tidies of impeachment The Republican party, as well se we, are in t ted in putting some check upon this •ielence. It must be clear to every tbiuking man that a disposition of political power tends to check the yio loom of party action, and assure the peace and good cords, of the country. The election of • Democratic Executive and a majority of Democratic members to the House of Rep mime would not give to that party organisation pow er to make sudden or violent changes, but would o to cheek those tae measures whieb have been deplored by the best men of both organizations. The result would most certainly lead to that peaceful restoration of the Union and re establishment of fraternal relationship which the country desires I am sure the best men of the Repub• lican party deplore ai deeply as I do the spirit of violence shown by those re cently admitted to seats in Congress, form the condition of Oivtl war which they contemplate must be abhorrent to every nest thinking man. I have no mere personal wishes to mislead my judg• ment in regard to the holding of elec tions No man who has weighed and measured the duties of the office of Pres ident of the United Stains emn fail to be imp d with the ceresend toils of him who is to meet its demands. It is not merely to Goat with popular currents without a policy or a purpose. On the contrary, while our Constitution gives just weight to the public will, its distin gnishing feature is that it seeks to pro tect the right of minorities; its greatest glory is that it puts restraints upon power , ; if gives throe and form to those maxims and principles of civil liberty for which the martyrs of freedom have struggled through ages ; it declares the right of the.people to be secure is their persons, houses and papers evilest un• reasonable searches and seizures ; that Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion or life free exercise theme, or abridging the `free doss of speech or et the press er the rights of the people, to petition (or re dress of &smolt, it Seenros the right of a speedy and pubic trial by an Im partial jury. No man can rightfully enter upon the duties of the Preskiential office, unless he is not only willing to carry out the wishes of the people, ex pressed in a eoaatitational way, but is also prepared to stand up for the rights of minorities. He must be ready to up bold the, free' exercise of religion. He must deaounoe measures which would wrong personal, mr home rights, or the religions emzstsieniut of the humblest cit- Dens of the land. He must malutain.with out distinction of creed or nationality, all the privileged ores American citizen ship. The expertise* of every public man who has been faithful to his 'cast teaches him that no one can do the du ties of the once of President unless he is ready not ealy to undergo the false hoods and abuse of the bad, but to suf fer from censure from tea good, who are misled by mindless and misrepresento lions.

IThe lion. Allen G. Thurman,of Ohio, addressed the tecent West Virginia UsmocrOde MVIB hlonvention, following Mr. rendlerma. Judge Thurman -was the Lienmerathi candidate for Clovermor of Ohio arthe lost efecrion, and is the United Staten Senator elect who will isko lien Minder place next March. Judge Thurman said the publlo debt a mounted to $2.6110,000,000,—What IL was 'exactly at this time was difficult to say, from the fact that the' Treasury Department was quite dilatory in mak tog its monthly statements; the debt had increased &bout ume millions of dollars In a !tingle Month, mid that the next month will show an• i.ereese of- twenty mootbly.-•aeppeoditure sutti• °lent in the days of iscklion to inn the government. for six mouths in all its de partments, while this is simply the in crease of the public debt for the short aof one month.

This cry might do to frighten a few—the speaker was about to say old women, but be would not—it mighttlo to frighten s few wavering men, who could he frightened out of the country by a few old *omen with'broom sticks. This terrible second civil war Was put forward now to divert attention from the public Compare our debt with that of Great Britain. Our debt was two thousand millions lint while our population war only 81,000 000 The rate of taxation in Great Britain was ninety cent.s on.rise hundred dollare,while the American pee , pie were taxed at the rate of $3 93 on the hdhdred dollars ;"more than three limes as much as the taxes Imposed coo w.hat Ati had been itttbe habitepitying en the pooroal-ridden-people of Great Britain Some one nikhi say, "You are totstaken., Ale Thurman; lin not pay $8.93 on the hundred dollars " 11 might hot be the dome with individual., but such was the rate of taxation on the people in the aggregate, upon their per sonel and real estate. - • It might be claimed that the laboring poor paid no taxes. That was a great mistake. Labor pity,' all the taxes [Till otendous applause ] dr How wee it that labor paid Ike taxes! The problem was simple. It could be preyed from the Scriptures: "In the sweet of thy face shalt thou eat thy br.-ad " It was the mandate of )leaven, that:nothing lea produoed with out labor. Not • particle of wealth was created except by labor The little pov erty stricken boy of Western Virginia, who followed the plow,contributed more to the material wealth of the country than did the richest bondholder who rolled in luxurious ease. [Applause ] The grain of corn dropped by the little boy would grow and benefit the world, but the man who did nothing but live on the int of his bonds addded nothing to the wealth of the country Suppose some ambitious young cop perhead should take into his mind to be the owner °feu-shirts—but if this Rad ical government continues much longer. you wont be able to, make so expensive an investmeut. [Applause.] This am bitious young cepperbead -roe* to the store and proposes to get eighteen yard. of mue c lio, lor which the merchant charges four (toilers —••flow is this," says young eopperbeed, "I used to boy •ighteen yards of muslin for two dollars!" If the merchant inswereil truthfully, he would say, •It us true we now charge you four dollars for the same 'quantity of muslin you used to buy for two dollrrs,' The reason is this: There is a tax of throscente • pound on the raw comm. The manufacturer who buys must add this to the price of the manufactured article Then Uncle Sam comes to him and says: "Dear Mr. Shoddy, I bought shoes of you in Massachusetts which total my soldiers only • few days; you sold me cloth to make them panta loon", which were not whole any longer after they had stopped to drink from the brooklbe brat time. l'potbut a little tax on you business." Mr, Shoddy put. that little tax on the manufactured geode and charges it on the merchant. Than comes Onole Sam to the merchant and say.: ••My dear fellow, I know you are truly loyal ( laughiesand •pplatteel; you must pay taxes en your sites." Or, if he Is not truly loyal, se much the more necessity that he shall pay, and Ibis I...slapped oft the prise, and wkien he finds young copperheads come to buy his sof shirts hs finds three separate taxes on the goods, whicb„,he ban to pay. You sae now Who has the taxes to pay It is the laboring man.

As Mr. 1. was 10.11 ap pointed an officer, the quastian Is. by what "arrangement did he get his pay ? And who was the • ngineer to the transaction ?
