ONE of the strongest arguments ad duceil by a New York Democratic paper in favor of Seymour's election, is that his hands are "as white as a woman's." TILE election of Grant and Colfax will destroy the last vestige of the rebellion, and enable the country to enter upon a career of prosperity never before known in history. THE reason why Seymour didn't want to accept the nomination, was on account of hereditary insanity in his family— fear that great excitement would produce mental disorder. IT is said that llon. 11. G. Stebbins, formerly M. C. from New York, and Judge Pierrepont, one of the Sachems of Tam many, will soon declare for Grant. GENERAL JEFFRIES, the new Regis ter of the Treasury, a great Johnson politician, announced himself for Grant a few days ago. THE Democratic newspapers are very much worried about the loyal carpet baggers at the South. They prefer the Rebel knapsackers. IT is thought that Seymour stands fair chance of carrying the Dry Tortugas. Also, Mackerellville, the Five Points, and Saur Kraut Hill. GENERAL ROSECRANS is in Chicago and washes his hands of the Copperhe Convention. So does Gen. Sherman and every other fighting General. SINCE the Copperhead nominations were made, Gov. Wise of Virginia holds up his head, and defiantly exclaims, Secession is not dead ; it is more alive than ever!" P. W. SIIIEL was hung recently in Grayson county, Ky., for the murder of a boy named Docker. Shiel was an active member of the Democratic party. MATIIEW ANDERSON, a German of Peoria, 111., on Tuesday of last week, shot his wife and tried to kill his mother-in law• Anderson is a Democrat. BILL DUGAN and John Murphy, both Democrats, fought an hour and forty minutes at Farmiugham, - .lass., on Wed nesday. AN exchange remarks that Buckner should by all means go. for Grant, be cause Grant went for him at Fort Don aldson. GRANT's motto : "Let us have peace.' ➢lotto of the Bread and Butter 13rigade " Let vs have a piece." THE poisonous reptiles in Tammany Hall nearly stung themselves to death in their internecine light for a candidate last 'week. THE Two SOLDIETIS.- 44 Let the Pres ident elect disperse the carpet-bag State governments." F. P. 13Lmn, Jn. "Let us have peace." U. S. GuAN - T. THE World speaks of Horatio Seymour as a "patriot." This is an allusion to Pat Riots in New York in July, 186:3. To attempt getting up enthusiasm for Seymour and Blair, is like an attempt to get up a thunder gust with a penny whistle. THE latest case of sun stroke is a young man striking his daddy for calling him a Seymourite. THE Loyal people to Salmon P. Chase : " On thy belly shalt thou go and dirt shalt thou eat all the days of thy life." DEMOCRATIC tactics : Doolittle and Saymour. Grant's plan : Say less and do more GEN. JOHN A. Dix is out in favor of Grant and Colfax. HENRY HARDING, a down-town Demo crat, beat his wife to death on Wednes day in Philadelphia. He has been arrested SEMDIES, the pirate, supports Seymour and Blair, of course, and has made a speech urging their election. THE name of Seymour after November will be changed by popular consent to Seen-no-more. SE YMOUR'S " friends" negroes to lamp-posts. GRANT'S nomination gives universal satisfaction—Seymour's, universal stupe faction. AN appropriate design for a Seymour illumination—a colored orphan asylum on fire. focal lttms. THE MOST AAMUSINGscene ever wit nessed. in the city of Reading, was a "flag raising" at and Court street, last Saturday evening, on the building occu pied by D. Ermentrout, Esq. The build ing is about twenty-two feet high ; the flag-staff nine feet four inches long ; the flag five and a half by three feet, and the size of the meeting, and the character of the speeches in about the same propor tion. The music consisted of two drums, one fife and a gong. Thug, is much un easiness amomir, the Democratic beer saloon keepers of Reading, on account of the apathy of the party. They are afraid that they will not be able to pay running expenses during the campaign, as the election of Grant and Colfax, by an over whelming majority, is generally admitted even by the Rerks county Democracy.
