SEYMOUR'S I.KTTEE OF ACCEP- XASCK. We publish to-day, elsewhere, the letter of Governor Seymour, formally accepting the nomination for the Pres idency; Our Radical friends have long been calling for this document. They have got it at last, and we hardly think they will desire to hear from the dis tinguished authorsoonagajn. Itisapow erful vindication of the policy and principles.of the Democratic party, and 1 a scathing rebuke to the Radical revolu-1 tionists. It Is in the Governor’s best style I and taste, and points out the true way to peace and prosperity. Let our readers give it an attentive perusal. It will well repay them. It should be placed in the hands of every Republican. All that Is wanted to secure the ardent sup port of Democracy by thousands of the more moderate members of the Repub lican is light; and this .able letter of . Governor Seymour’s throws a flood of light throughout the country. THE DRAFT RIOT .'ASDIDATE. The Herald establishment is os badly frightened at the nomination of Gover nor Seymour, ns if it expected another rebel invasion. Each particticular hair on the Senior’s crown, “ stands on end like quills upon the fretful porcu pine.” Bike the war horse of the Scrip tures, he “snuffs the battle afar off," and will doubtless continue to do so— which in point ol discretion is not a bad quality; Partaking of the general alarm, “ the junior” already thinks of visiting Plainfield, in quest of the wherewithal for a substitute. As to taking up arms themselves against this rebel horde which Seymour is leading to' victory, strange to say, the idea has never enter ed their heads which by the way, would be a very difficult feat for an ordinarily sized idea to accomplish. We can readily excuse our neighbors for being under tbo impression that “ Governor Seymour seized every op portunity to oppose tiie war,” for tiny noth had pressing businessengagomems in the East about the time Seymour’s heroic regiments marched up the valley, greeted by the thankful plaudits of our people, and saved the capitol. They can scarcely bees peeled togive anything like a truthful account of what trans pired near the post of danger. Belong ing to the homo guards, who were pledged “ only to leave homo incase of invasion,” whenever there was an in vasion they left. To say the'least, it is rather ungrateful to manifest so much spleen towards the man who saved their homes from pillage and destruction. The Herald raises a big howl over the fact that Governor Seymour addressed the N ew York rioters, as “ my friends."

Wealsopre- j 1 sent a numberof official documents from \ which it will bo seen what service Gov- ! ernorSeymourrcally did render the gov ernment and the people of Pennsylva nia during the rebellion. We presume 1 i*wili be uselesstoappeal to toe Heralds -ense of decency to give this evidence ' of its own infamy a place in its columns. It has started out 011 a system of bold- 1 face lying, and no doubt intends to fight it out on that line. But so far as the in telligODt people of Cumberland county are concerned, we are perfectly contend to present the solid array of substantia! /acts given elsewhere, as a complete an swer to twaddle as the Herald's article on “the draft riot candidate.” OS'* We regret to see the Valley .Sen tinel of Shippensburg, opposing the Crawford County System of nominating County Tickets. To our mind it is so much more desirable than the present delegate-election secret-ballot mode of nominating, that we are surprised to see . opposition to it by any fair man. It is notorious that under the present system, fraud is practiced every yesir. There are men in our county who make it a point to have themselves elected Dele gates to our County Conventions for the express purpose of making money for themselves. They care not how they are elected, or on whose strength, so tliat they accomplish their ends. It they find a decided majority of their people favorable to a certain candidate, they at once fall In with the popular feeling, espouse the cause of said candi date, pretend yreat anxiety for *hia suc cess, and then after they are elected as Delegates, sellout to a man who perhaps had not a Triend in the townships these corrupt creatures represent, or rather misrepresent. We can assure the Senti nel and aU'other advocates of the pres ent corrupt and demoralizing system that the people will submit to it no longer. They are tired ofseeing corrupt scoundrels making money for them* selves by betraying the people. N.o county in the State except Cumberland, nominates a County Ticket by the cow ardly villainous secret ballot. No other county would submit to such a systeiff fora moment. It was iniroduced into this county for a base purpose and the same puepose has continued it. Let us then stump this system as a fraud, and abandon it forever. Give us some other mode for nominating our County Tick ets—some mode by which the voice of the majority of the people will he re spected. Political gamblers who make money by it, may admire the present system, but we tell them that they can not and shall not practice their adroit villainy longer. Nine-tenths of the people are honest, and they demand and will haveanother mode of selecting can didates for office. »:unty Ch/mtUUm. Tiiink op it. —Farmer, mechanic, workingman—and especially you who have acted with theßepublican party— you have now until November to think of a matter that concerns you and your children. -Will you vote the Radical ticket and pay the bondholder’s taxes, or will you vote the Democratic ticket and make the bondholder pay his own taxes? Every dollar added to the tax duplicate relieves you. The Demo -1 oratic platform demands that bonds 1 shall ho taxed the same os o’her pro -1 perty—the same as your dwelling hoyse. The Republican platform fa vors the exemption of the bondholder, says, in effect, that he is a privileged character, and shall not bo taxed on his bonds. Whicji is right? Throw aside your party prejudices, and think of it. » Horatio Seymour saved Harrisburg from destruction and Gov. Curtin from capture by the rebels In 1863. THE CRAWFORD COUNTY SYSTEM. We would again urge upon our friends in every township in the County to turn out and give a full expression of opin ion on tho Crawford County System, at the polls, on Saturday. The question has been submitted to the party, and every member of the party lias a right to record Ids vote for o; against it. It ic certaiii'y one of tile oil rest systems that can bo devised, and wherever you see a man opposed to it you may see one who is afraid of the people. Tho small wire-pullers, who habitually make de votes of their townships a matter of bar ter, will of course be opposed to it, for their occupation will then bo gone. The corrupt men of the party will be opposed to it, for it takes away their chances of buying delegates mid selling nominations. Tfio men who make it a business of getting themselves elected delegates and then selling out at a good figure., will be opposed, to it on financial principles. But wherever you find a good, honest, reliable Democratic voter, from tho Susquehanna to tho Franklin county line, you will find a man who heartily endorses the Crawford County System. Under that system the people who do the voting for the party make the ticket, and not the politicians. Ev ery Democrat Ims a voice in the selec tion of tho qaiididab s ho is to vote for, and one vote counts just us much ns another. In Carlisle wo begin to Hud such a sys tem an absolute necessity. We have candidates for almost every oflko in the gift of the people, and under our present system no voter can give expression to his preference for more than one office.

The Democratic Senatorial Conferees representing this Senatorial District, met at Bridgeport on Saturday last.— The following gentlemen appeared as Confereess: Cumberland— Samuel Cope, Daniel A. Harris, Samuel X. Kmrninger. York —John M. Hedges, John Mum per, C. D. Patterson. On motion, Mr. Mumper of York was called to the chair, and Mr. Kmrninger of Cumberland appointed Secretary. On motion, Andrew G. Miller, Ksq., of Cumberland County, was declared tne unanimous Choice of the ihsirlct for State Senator. The meeting then adjourned, sine die. We congratulate the Democrats of :his Senatorial District on the nomina- tion of that sterling Democrat and hon est man, Andrew G. Milder of Ship pensburg, for State Senator. Our word for it; he will never deceive his constit uents, but will discharge his duties faithfully and in a satisfactory manner. He is in every respect a most worthy and reliable gentleman, in whose word and honor implicit confidence can be placed. • Adams County Nominations. • Gettysburg, Pa.j August 10.—The Adams county Democratic convention met here to-day, and the following gentlemen were unanimously nominat ed: For Congress, William MClain ; senate, Joseph M’Devitt (subject to de cision of conference); Assembly, Dr. Dill; Associate Judge, Joseph Kuhn; District Attorney, William Duncan.— Resolutions were adopted endorsing Seymour and Blair, the New York platform, the action of Mr. Heltzel and the local candidates. Js@“ With his usual astuteness, our neighbor of the Valley Sentinel—who was one of the original advocates of the Crawford County System and now op poses it for some reason best known to himself—urges that when there are a number of aspirants in the field, a can didate might be nominated, though he might not have one-tenth of the votes in the county. If he will take the pains to make a calculation he will find, that under the present system, even where there are only two candi dates in the field, a candidate may re ceive the nomination, though all the delegates voting for him represent but one-fifth of the Democratic vote of the county. The Springfield Republican, a Repub lican newspaper published, in Massachu setts, said that “the choice of Presi dential electors by the Legislatures of the Southern States would be a fraud upon the people.” That is exactly why the Radicals propose to adopt it. THEColored citizensof tho South real the New York Tribune to advantage.— They have got to calling each othei villains and liars.” TUG DUTY 08-' TIIK HOUR. It scorns almost impossible to overes timate the importance of the contest upon which the country is now enter ing. In its far reaching results, as they effect individual happiness, general prosperity and public liberty, it tran-. seemls any political contest by which ou’r people have ever before been agita ted. Previous political struy-tes have merely involved questions of govern mental policy, such ns the advantages of high and low tariffs—the National bank question—the distribution of the proceeds of the public lands—the ques tion of sovereignty in the territories of the nation, and other like issues. But this is a Struggle involving the very life of the nation, and of that spirit which gives it life. Itis alifeaud death strug gle between the principles of Constitu tional liberty on the one side, and Con gressional usurpationamJ tyranny, back ed bya military despotism,on the oilu-r. It will determine whether we are to have a government of constitutionally 'defined and limited puweis, such ns our fathers gave us, or another and a new government, based upon the New Eng land idea of centralization and with no other rule of action than the preferences, the animosities and the unhallowed par tisan malignity of a Congressional ma jority. This is the people’s government. It was ordained “to form a more perfect Union, establish justice,insure domestic tranquility,promote the general welfare, afid secure the bl ssings of 1 berty to themselves and their posterity.” They have prescribed its metes and bounds, ami if they allow it to be taken out of tbeirbauds, and to bo diverted from the legitimate objects for which it was crea ted—if they permit it to becomea means of disunion, an engine of injustice and ippression. a source of tyranny and mis -1 :.“c—they -nay r'-.-t assured they will ; again ge: the reins of power back "tl -\ v CJ>- j‘~:o shclr haiuN without a bitter and stoody struggle. New England is al h rvi-vdy moving to secure the permanency -jz New States are being rrvect'd out of the heterogeneous popu birkm of the great West, and their Sen ators and UepivsentatiVesare New Eng ■aad aie;;, imbued with New England i idea \ She i? sending her “ carpet bag- 1 gers" to the South, and with New Eng- | land persistence and impudoaco they j are securing seats in Congress, to., inis- 1 represent the South and vote for the in terests of New England, Securing her self against defeat in both Houses, by the admission of these' bogus Senator* and mis-Reprcsentatives, she will then bo prepared to declare Grunt military dictator of the whole country, in lire same manner as she has already made him dictator over the South, and give him the oftice for the balance of his nat ural life. Whatever, resistonev there may bo on the part of thb people, is to bo put down by the two hundred and eighteen thousand “loyal” traitors, who are to be armed out of the public arsenals in accordance with the bill lately passed by the Sen ate. This is no idle fear.’ Forney and Greeley have already declared that the radical usurpers who now rule the coun try with a rod of iron, will not give up their places in obedience to the voice of the people, but will hold on by force despite the* popular verdict. Jt Is for this purpose, and for no other, that they are arming then followers. They mean to clu\n-o t bo ontiro theory -and charac ter of our government, quietly :md in- 1 siduously if they can, but failing in that, to accomplish it by force of arms. j Is it not then a life and death struggle • fur the Republic; and Is it not the duty ; of men to take earnest counsel together ■ for the public good? Tins is no time for neutrality. He that is not for the coun try Is against it. It is no time for dolts and cowards. He who knows his rights and will not dure maintian them,should lay off his ‘uniform and put a white feather in Ins hat. Wo can have no re spect for the man who quietly opposes the radicals, and yet is afraid to openly avow Ins deadly lies’ility to their infa mies. Come, let us reason with our friends and neighbors. Let us call things by their right names. If these men are traitors to republican liberty, let us tell them so to their teeth.. If they and their minions: have stolen more than half the public debt, let us charge it home upon ttiem. Kow that our ojipouunts Jiave carried Africa into the war, let us carry the war into Africa. Let us attack and not defend. We are led by candidates who for intellect and slate-mausluplmvc not their superiors in the American Union. We are backed by a platform of principles against which the very gates of hell cannot prevail. Let us.go to work then and organize our forces in every election district. O It is only one thousand dollars a min ute—that’s all. Just that little sum is required to keep the Radical Govern ment going, the Freedmon’s Bureau in operation, and official thieves in pocket, money and fine.houses. Who wouldn’t be a loyal leaguer? Who wouldn’t be a patriotic Radical, and who wouldn’t prefer a nigger to a white man? flSylf it be true that the tone of Brick Pomeroy’s La Crosse Democrat is so indecent, obscene and blasphemous, us the Herald represents it to bo, why is it that the Herald every now and then oifends the fastidious tasts of its readers with a column or so of quotations from Brick’s paper? A Negro by the name of Grayson, of Memphis, Tennessee, appeals to his colored friends to leave the Radical par ty as he has done, before they become irreclaimably demoralized through bad association. Grayson’s head is level. The legislature of South Carolina is composed as follows: Senate —White 24; Negroes 9; total 33. House of Rep resentatives—White 39; NegroesTC; to tal 124. There are seven Democrats in the Senate, and fourteen in the House. “ The American House, of Represen tatives,” says the London Sulurjday lie view, “ stands lo ; wer in morality and “ than any similar aa “semhly in civilized countries.” To this condition has Radical rule reduced the nation. The Radicals established a'‘Buroau” lorthe maintenance of lazy, idle negroes. Instead of giving any support to the poor white men of the country, they load them down with taxes. Voters, think of this at the polls! ISr The Herald seems to be ambitious of a notoriety similar to that of Brick Pomeroy; and culls the sweetest missels of his ribald pen for its columns. AK.nS 1 AItTS ! ARTIS! q’lie cry of tho Southern carpet-bag gers and adventurers is for arras! One of them exclaims —“ Wo cannot keep down tho Democrats unless wo have arins.” Another pleads “we cannot live in tho South without arms.”-- Congress has “reconstructed” eight plates, but they now proclaim that l c-e States must have arms, in order ‘to maintain their carpet-bag govern ments. In other words they admit that Congressional reconstruction is a fail ure, and that a military despotism is die only thing which will preserve tho negro governments from overthrow. When tho proposition to arm tho ne groes was earnestly pressed upon the House, the venerable Mr. Doydcn, of North Carolina, startled the Radicals bv bis appeal to them to desist from a course so suicidal. “Great God,” he exclaimed, .” ice cannot afford to fight each other. KEEP AWAY ■VUMS! DO NOTHING TO IRRI TATE OUR PEOPLE, BUT DO EVE RYTHING IN YOUR POWER TO ASSUAGE AND HEAL THE EX CITEMENT THERE. Wo want no arms. I WARN THE HOUSE THAT IE ARMS ARE SENT THERE, WE WILL BE RUINED, we cannot live there. If we need any tiling in the way of arms, in Ootl’s name send an army of the United States there, but do not asm neighbor agaimt neighbor. There was never a more miee/uceous■ measure than this proposition to arm one class of out people aguin't the other." ■ .So far as the public peace is concern ed, there is no occasion for the distri bution of arms, and the Radicals know it. The secret of tho movement lies in their fear of defeat at the election.— They see no way of escape except through an armed force. And they will sacrifice the peace of the country to maintain their hold on power. A Letter fx’om a prominent politician (if Indiana, who has been several times in Congress, assures ns that Seymourand Blair, upon the platform of equal taxa tion, will sweep the States of Indiana and Illinois by commanding majorities; and lie stakes his reputation for political sa gacity upon the result. .Stokes, of Tennessee, said in his speech at Chicago, that "ho owed his life to the negro race and could not be ungrateful.” But has ho not pifttMhe debt in full? How many little negroes owe their lives to him ? * Grant’s “ tanners” pride themselves on shouting “ the bottle cry of freedom.” Tlie first part of it is very agreeable to Hiram Ulysses, the son of Jesse. The Radicals make savage attacks on Seymour and Blair, but it does not compare witlr their, attack upon tiro 'Preasury. That is the heaviest-assault on record. The Herald says “scratch a Democrat and you will find a rebel under his skin.” Tire carpet-baggers are too in fernal dirty to scratch. The New York Times, a. radical jour nal, fears tire Democratic majority in that city may roach 90,000. A Radical, clergyman lias been sent to jail for nine months for drunkenness and larceny.

J wish you to know, General, Unit X have taken the liberty to pronounce these statements false, and to assure those who have spoken to me on the subject thnt nothing cotiUl cause you more regret than to find your friends, or any of them, less earnest in support ing the ticket which has been nominat ed than they would have been had your own name stood in the place of Mr. Seymour’s. I am, sir, very sincerely your fried, Signed S. T. Glover, Newport, 11. 1., July 17, 1808, My Dear Sir :—l am greatly obliged for your favor of the loth inst. Those who suppose that I do not acquiesce in the work ol the National Democratic tionvention, or that I do not sincerely desire the election of its nominees, know very little of my character. Be lieving as I really do, that the prosecu tion of the constitutional government eminently depends in the success of the Democratic party in the coming elec tion. Il'ere Ito hesitate in its candid support , 1 feel I should not only falsify my own record , but commit a crime 'against my country. I never aspired to the Presidency on account of myself. X never sought its doubtful honors and certain labors and responsibilities mere ly for the position. My own wish was to promote, if I could, the good of the country, and to rebuke the spirit of re volution which had invaded every sa cred precinct of liberty. When, there fore, you pronounce the statements in question false, you did just exactly right; principles and not men is the motto for the rugged crisis in which wo are now struggling. Had I been made the Presidential nominee X should have considered it a tribute, not to me, but to the principle which I had pro claimed aud practiced, but shall I cease to serve those principles because by the mutual political friends another has been appointed to put them into execu tion? Never, never. These, sir, are my ever interested parties may say to the contrary, and 1 desire that all may know and understand them. I shall ever hold in greatful remembrance the the faithful friends, who hailing from every section of the Union, preferred me by their votes and other expressions of confidence, both in and out of the Convention, and shall do them all the justice to believe they were governed by patriotic motives; that they did not propose simply to aggrandize my per sonal fortunes, but to save their coun try through me, and that they will not now Buffer anything like personal pre ferences or jealousies to stand between them and their manifest duty. I have the honor to be, dear sir, Very respectfully yours, (Signed) Winfields. Hancock.

GKNTiiKMi'N: When, in tho City of New York on the 11th of July, in tho presence of & vast multitude, on behalf of the National Democratic Convention, you tendered to mo Us unanimous nomi nation as Its candidate for tho office of Pesldent ol tho United States, I stated I had no words “ adequate to express my for the good will and kindness winch that body had shown to mo. Its nomination was unsought and unexpect ed It was my ambition to take an ac tive part, from which I am now exclud ed, in the great struggle going on for the restoration of good government, of peace and 'prosperity to our country. But have been caughtupby thooverwhclming tide which is bearing us to a great politi cal change, and I find myself unable tu resist its pressure. You have alstkgiven me a copy of the resolutions put forth by tho Convention, showing its posiliqn up on all the great questions which now agitate the country. As tho presiding officer of that Convention, I am familiar with 'their scope and Import; as one ol its members, I am a party to their terms. They are in accord with my views, and I stand upon them in the contest upon which we arc now entering, and shall , strive to carry them out in the future, I wherever X may be placed, in political or | private* life.” * ~ , I then staled that I would semi you these words of acceptance in a letter, as is the customary form. I see no reason, upon reflection, to change or qualify the terms of my approval of the resolutions of tho Convention. X have delayed tho mere lormal act ot communicating to you in writing what I thus publicly said, for the purpose of see ing what light tho action of Congress would throw upon tho interests of the country. Its acts since the adjournment of the Convention show an alarm lost a change of political power will give to the people what they ought to have—a clear statement of what bus been doue with the money drawn from them during the past eight years. Thoughtful men feel that there have been wrongs In the fi nancial management which have been kept from the public knowledge. Tho Congressional party has not only allied itself with military power, which is to be brought to bear directly upon the elec tions in many States, but it also holds itself in perpetual session, with the avowed purpose of making such laws us it shall see fit, in view of the elctions which will take place within a few weeks. It did not, therefore, adjourn, but took a recess, to meet again if its partisan in terests shall demand its reassembling.— Never before in the history of our coun try has Congress thus taken a menacing attitude towards its electors. Under its influence some of the Spates organized by its agents are proposing to deprive the people of tho right to voto for Presiden tial electors, and the first bold steps are taken to destroy the rights of suffrage.— It ismot strange, therefore, that thought ful men see in such action the proof that there is with those who shape the policy of the Republican party, motives strong er and deeper than the mere wish to hold political power.,vtliat there, is a dread of some exposure which drives them on to acts so'desperate and impolitic. .Many of the ablest leaders and jour nals of the Republican party "have openly deplored the violence of Congressional action, and its tendency to keep up dis cord in our country. Tho great interests of our Union demand peace, order, and a return to those industrial pursuits without which we canuot maintain the faith or honor of our Government. The minds of business men are .perplexed by un certainties. The hours of toil of our la borers are lengethened by the costs of living made by the direct and indirect exactions of Government.. Our people are hurrassed by the heavy and frequent demands of the tax-gatherer* Without distinction of party there is a strong feeling in favor of that line of action which shall restore order and confidence, and shall lift oir the burdens which now hinder and vex the industry of the coun try. Yet at this moment those in power have thrown into the Senate Chamber and Congressional Hall new elements of discord and violence. Men have been admitted as Representatives of some of the Southern States, with the declaration upon thejr lips that they canuot live in the States they claim.to represent, with out military protection. These men are to make laws for the North as well as the South. These men, who a few days since were seeking as suppliants that Congress wouldgrve them power within their respective States, are to-day the musters and controllers of tho action s f those bodies. Entering them with minds filled with passions, their first de mands have been that Congress shall look upon the States from which they come as in conditions of civil war; that the majority of their populations, em bracing their intelligence, ahull be treat ed as public enemies; that military forces shall be kept up at the cost of tho people of the North, and that there shall I be no peace and order at the South save that w.hioi>.-»« hi? arbitrary.Dowqiv Every intelligent man knows that these men owe their seats in Congress to the disorder in the South ; every man knows that they not only owe their present po sitions to disorder but that every motive springing from the Jove of power, .of gain, of a desire for vengeance, prompts them to keep the South in anarchy.— While that exists, they are independent of the wills or wishes of their fellow-citi zens. While confusion reigns, they,are the dispensers of the profits and the hon ors winch grow out of tho government of mere force. These men are now placed in positions where they canuot urge their views of policy, but wheco they can en force them. When others shall be ad mitted in this manner frond the remain ing Southern States, although they will have in truth no constituents, they will have more power in the Senate than a majority of the people of. this Union liv ing in nine of the great States. In vain the wisest members of the Republican party protested against the .policy that led to this result. While the cbiels of the. late rebellion have submitted to the re sults of the war, and are now quietly en gaged in useful pursuits for the support of themselves and their families, and are trying by tho force of their example to lead back the people of the South to the order aud industry, not only .essential to their well-being, but to the greatness and prosperity of our common country, we see that those who, without ability or in fluence, have been thrown by the agita tions of civil convulsion into positions of honor and profit, are striving to keep alive the passions to which they owe their elevation. And they clamorously insist that they are the only friends of our Union —a Union that can only have a sure foundation in fraternal regard and a common desire to promote the peace, the order and the happiness of ail sec tions of our laud. * Events In Congress since the adjourn ment of the Convention have vastly in creased the importance of a political vic tory by those who are seeking to bring back economy, simplicity, and. Justice In the administration of our national affairs. Many Republicans have heretofore clung to their party who have regretted the extremes of violence to which it has run. They have cherished a faith that while the action of their political friends has been mistaken, their motives have been good. They must now see that the Re publican party is in that condition that it cannot curry out a wise and peaceful poli cy, whatever its motives may be. It is a misfortune, not only to a country but to a governing party it self, when its action is unchecked by any form of opposition. It»has been the misfortune of the Repub lican party that the events of the past few years have given it so much power that it has to shackle the Exec utive, to trammel the Judiciary, and to carry out tuHßews of the most unwise and violent oflts members. When this state of things exists in any party, it has ever been found that the sooerjudgmeuts of itsableatleaders do' hot control. There is hardly an able man who helped to build up the Republican organization who has not, within the post three years, warned it against its.excesses, who has not been borne down and forced to give up his convictions of whatihe Interest of tl 10 country coiled for; or, if t°opj !c to do tills, who Ims not been driven I, us ,-jinks.‘ If this has been the case heretofore, what will bo its action now with this new Infusion of men who, without a decent respect for the views of those who had just given them their po sitions, begin their legislative career with calls for arms, with demands that theh States shall be regarded as in a condition of civil war, and with a declaration that thev are ready and anxious to degrade tins president of the United States when ever they can persuade or force Congress to bring forward new articles of impench "'tUo Republican party, as well as wo, I are interested in putting some check upon this violence. It must be clear to | every thinking man that a division of political power tends to check the vio lence of party notion and to assure the peace and* good order of society. Ihe election of a Democratic Executive, and a majority of Democratic members to the House of Representatives would not give to that party organisation the power to make sudden or violent changes, but It would serve to check T lhose extreme measures which have been deplored by [he heat men of both political organiza tions. Tlio result would moat certainly lead to that peaceful restoration of the Union and re-establishment of fraternal relationship which the country desires. — I am sure that the best men of the Re publican party deplore as deeply as I do the spirit of violence shown by those re cently admitted to seats In Congress from the BoUth. The condition of civil war which tiiey contemplate must be abhor rent to every right thinking man. I have no mere personal wishes which mislead my judgment in regard to the pending No man who has weiehed ‘and measured the duties of the olllee of President of the United States, can fail to be impressed with the cares and toils of him who is to meet its de mands. It is not merely to float with popular currents, without a policy or a purpose. On the contrary, while our Constitution givgs just weight to the public will, its distinguishing feature is that it seeks to protect the rights of mi norities. Its greatest glory is that it puts rfhtrnlnts upon power. It gives force and form to those maxims and principles of civil liberty for which the martyrs of freedom have struggled through ages. It declares Ihe right of tlie people —“ to be secure in their persons, houses, and papers against unreasonable searches and seizures. That Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of re ligion or the free, exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press, or the right of the people to peti tion for redress of grievances. It secures the right of a speedy ami public trial by an impartial jury.” No man can rightfully enter upon the duties of the Presidential olllee, unless he is not only willing to carry out the wishes of the people expressed in a con stitutional way, but it also prepared to stand up for the rights of minorities.— He must be ready to uphold the free ex ercise of religion. He must denounce measures which would wrong personal or home rights, or the religious con science of the humblest citizens of the land. Me must maintain, without dis tinction of creed or nationality, all the privileges of American citizenship. The experience of every ptlblie man who has been faithful to his trust teaches him that no one can do the.duties of the olllee of president, unless he is ready not only to undergo the falsehoods and abuse of the. bud, but to sutler from the censure of the good who are misled by prejudices and misrepresentations. There are no attractions in such positions, which de ceive my judgment, when I say that a great change is going on in the public mind. The mass of the Republican par ty are more thoughtful, temperate and just than they'were during the excite ments which attended the progress and close of the civil war. As the energy of the Democratic party springs irom their devotion to their cause and not to their candidates, I may with propriety speak of the fact that never in the political his tory of our country has the action of any like body been hailed with such univer sal and widespread enthusiasm as that which has been shown in relatiou to the position of the National Democratic Con vention. With this tbe candidates hud nothing to do. Had any others of those named been selected, this spirit would have been, perhaps, more marked. The zeal and energy of the conservative masses spring’ from a desire to make a 1 change of political policy, and from the confidence that they can carryout their purpose. In this faith they are stengthened -by the co-operation of the great body of those who served in the Union army and navy. during'the war. Having given nearly sixteen thousand commissions to the nlli cers of that army, I know their views and wishes. They demand the Union for which they fought. The largest meeting of these gallant soldiers which over assembled was held in New York, and indorsed the notion of the National Convention. In words instinct with meaning they culled upon the Govern ment to stop in its policy of hate, dis cord and disunion, aiid in terms of fervid eloquence they demanded the restoration of the rights and liberties of the Ameri can people. When there is such accord between those who proved themselves brave and self sacrificing in war, and those who are thoughtful and patriotic in council, I cannot doubt we -hall gain a political triumph’ "which, will restore oorUiiion,- bring back peace and prosperity to our land, and will give ns once more the blessings of a wise, economical and hon est government.

Mr. a-lmer was seri ously injured about the chest, but is now in a fair way of recovering. Selling Manure.— The farmer who sells manure off his place, sells his chil dren’s birthright. It may be necessary to support their lives: if so,* well. It may be necessary, In order to obtain money for some pressing need; if so, it ■would be better, probably, to sell land. It is, at any rate, putting a mortgage upon the soil, which will probably never be taken up. The mortgage may be removed by the purchase of more manure, or its equivalent; but every year manure grows more and more val uable, and the temptation never to re-: store it, greater. To the farmer the manure pile is his working capital. LIST OF JUHOI -AUGUST fD JDRO] farmer, farmer, Neidloh, Henry Montzor, John Ewalt, L. B. Homlnger, John McLaughlin, Wm. Fair, Jacob W.

Tho law provides that ail letters on whicli the name of the sender is endorsed shall be returned to him if not called for within thirty days; it doubles the com pensation of postmasters for the pay ment of money orders, but reduces the fees on the same. It permits weekly newspapers sent to regular subscribers in the connty where published to be delivered free of postage, from the post .office nearest tho place of publication; it also authorizes the issue of duplicate money orders. The law also makes it a felony of high character to use postage stamps a second time knowingly, and authorizes the Postmaster General to prescribe a uniform for letter carriers, and make it a misdemeanor lor anyone else to wear the same.
