* * I wish I could justly
close these words without retiTence to I loratio
Seymour. But fidelity alike to history and to
my old comrades in the army, living and dead,
compel that I should speak of one passage in
his history. On the Fourth of July, 1863,
when Governor of the State, he stood at the
Academy of Music, in New York, and in a most
elaborate address apologized alike for slavery,
the South and the Rebellion. Ile had no
word of cheer for the patient man who was
bearing the nation's sorrow (cheers) in the
Capitol at Washington. Ile had no word of
encouragement for our gallant soldiers, who
that very hour were grappling with Lee in a
life and death struggle among the hills in Penn
sylvania (cheers and cries of " You're right") ;
nothing but icy slicers, but cold calculations,
and but illy concealed sympathy with treason.
Thank God, at that same hour Meade gave the
lie to his eloquent sophistry as he hurled Lee
back in terrible) defeat from j Cemetery Hill
and Round Top at Gettysburg, and Grant's
cannon made strange echo to his cowardly but
concealed appeals for compromise and sur
render as Vicksburg fell and Pemberton's host
cast down their flags in defeat.
" A few short days passed, mid on July 13 of
that same year the terrible draft riots broke out
in New York city. I charge that these riots were
the natural, logical and almost necessary re
sults of his speeches, his teachings, and his
public official acts. And then when the storm
had gathered, he addressed those maddened,
brutalized rioters as his "friends," and besought
their patience by the plea that he had sent his
Adjutant-General to Washington to beg that
the draft might be suspended. (Laughter,
hisses and cheers.) When the tidings of these
riots and of Seymour's conduct and speech
reached me, with my regiment, I was toiling
along a dusty road of Maryland in pursuit of
the retreating rebels. Fainting under the ter
'Able heat, some falling . and even dying by the
wayside, our men were still pres Sing on.
"The loyal arms had been victorious at
Gettysburg, and we bad heard the glad news
from Vicksburg. We were weary, but still we
could see the end and the victory drawing nigh.
Like thunder from a clear sky fell the tidings of
this cowardly uprising at our own homes against
the government and the flag. Strong men wept
with shame and rage. Firm lips closed in a fiercer
wrath as they whispered the news down the
ranks, and muskets were gripped with a venge
ful feeling such as we had not known betbre in
skirmish and battle. Could we have filed that
day into Broadway there would have been a
bloody reckoning, and short work would have
been made with Ills Excellency's special
friends."
[A sudden movement was here visible through
the whole:audience ; an instant afterwards an
electrical cheer burst from every part of the
building ; many people stood up, and handker
chiefs and hats were waved at the speaker.]
We bad left home to tight your battles, and
we felt that you were bound to tax yourselves,
if need be, to your last dollar to pension our
widows, to succor our wounded, and feed our
little ones. We were there just as much for
your sake as for our own, and we felt that when
our ranks grew thin we had a right to reinforce
ments; that you were bound in honor to send
us your young men and your strong men, even
if your old men and boys had to work your

EMI
The London I\Tc/essays of Grant's nom
ination :
" There are some circumstances which
render the nomination of General Grant
singularly opportune. Ile is not a
politician, and the nation is tired of poli
ticians. He is it soldier, with a soldier's
I ideas of duty, but with a civilian's re
spect for legislative authority and the na
tional will. Ile has probably no definite
policy of his own ; but it is of a President
with a policy that the Republic is suffer
ing. He is accustomed to obey, as well
as to rule ; and it is a President who will
do its work, obey its behests, whom the
nation needs. The very fact that after
by turns exciting the suspicion he has
won the confidence of all parties, proves
his fitness for the highest post in the
Conunonwealth. A President should be
a practical statesman, not a theorist ;
man of deeds rather than of words ; the
executive of the national will, not the
apostle of his own self will. lle has no
right to a policy which is not the policy
of the nation, and in his office he belongs
neither to his party nor himself, but to
the nation which has elected him to its
temporary headship. It is the best re
commendation of General Grant that he '
will probably make a national rather
than a party President ; and should his
election once more lift the office ever so
little above the self-assertion of Mr.
Johnson's administration, or the party
narrowness of so many of his predeces
sors, it may restore the waning influence
of the Presidency and begin an era of
peace and reconciliation to the nation."
We hear agreat deal, from Democratic
journals, of the " carpet-baggers" of the
Southern States, a name derisively ap
plied to Northern men who have settled
in the lately seceded Skates, and who are
aiding, by their industry, energy, enter
prise and wealth, in raising up that ener
vated region to a state of prosperity
which it never before enjoyed. These
men have gone South, perhaps, with tio
other baggap than a "carpet-Iw , ;" but
they took with them brains and energv
and capital, and were welcomed by the
people of that section. If some of them
have been sent back North as members
of Congress, this fact is only a proof
that their good qualities and abilities are
appreciated at their new-found homes.
But, while Copperhead journals abuse
Republican" carpet-baggers," they studi
ously avoid saying anything of their own
"bundlers." Northern Democrats have
gone South, and the only reason we
don't see them in Congress is that they
haven't the requisite brains, or that the
Southern people have had so much of
Democratic misrule as to not be willing
to trust them again. Occasionally one of
them "works his passage" North, carry
ing all his worldly goods on his back, or
in a "bundle," not being able to rise to
the dignity of a "carpet-bag."

Grant's Way of Eriwessing Great
Truths.
Gen. Grant, though not a politician,
has a parenthical way of stating great
truths and sententious facts which is re
markable.
As early as the second year of the war,
in a letter to Mr. Washburne, he writes :
" I never was an abolitionist—not even
what could be called anti-slavery—but I
tried to judge fairly and honestly, and it
became patent to my mind early in the
rebellion that the North and South could
never live hi peace with each other
except as one nation, and that without
slavery."
And again : " As anxious as I am to
see peace established, I would not there
fore be willing to see any settlement un
til this question is settled."
In his correspondence with President
Johnson in reference to the removal of
General Sheridan from the district of
Louisiana, he says: " This is a republic
where the will of the people is the law of
the land. I beg that their voice may be
heard."
In his speech to the committee ap
pointed to inform him of his nomination,
he said: "If chosen President, I shall
have no policy of my own to enforce
against the will of the people."
In his letter accepting the Republican
nomination, he says : "Purely- adminis
trative officers should always be left to
execute the will of the people. I have
always respected that will and always
These are only samples of General
Grant's manner of expressing great
truth, culled at random from our files ;
but they are " apples of gold in pictures
of silver„" and show to the people the
manner of man he is. •
In his general order to his soldiers,
after the capture of General Lee, in re
ferring to the enforcement of the eman
cipation proclamation, he calls "Sloven ,
the cause and pretext of the rebellion.;'
In his famous letter to the President,
while acting as Secretary of War ad in
terim, he says : " I stated that the law
was binding upon me, constitutional or
not, until set aside by the proper tribu
nal," a doctrine that will do to stand by.
In his testimony before the impeach
ment committee, he says : " I have
always been attentive to my own duties,
and tried not to interfere with other peo
ple's." And again, " I never was in
favor of a general amnesty until the time
should come when it would be safe to
give it."
favOred no "policy but the crushing
out of the rebellion. lie had no concep
tion of duty that led him to regard the
Federal Executive with distrust or dis
favor. In short, Grant quietly received
his orders, and to the extent of his
ability, executed them. It will be the
fault of the people if this species of gen
eralship is not more common hereafter.

THE value of the dog for watch pur
poses was recently presented in a new
light. According to the Richmond Dis
patch, Jirp Patterson, a venerable mul
latto, in discussing the important ques
tion, " which is most dangerous dogs or
guns ?" before a negro debating society
at White Sulphur, spoke as follows :
" Mr. President—Dose gentlemen what has
