Our os frontia was all right, our os sternum it was strong, They called us bully fellows, and so we marched along.

NEW YORK DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION. NOBLE SPEECH GOVERMR SEVITOUIt We reproduce from the Brooklyn Eagle a verbatim report of the address of Gov ernor SEYMOUR, before the Democratic State Convention of New York, at Albany, on the 9th inst. Governor SEYMOUR hav ing been invited to address the Conven tion, was introduced by a committee, and after the applause of his hearty greeting had subsided, spoke as follows : MR. CHAIRMAN : Three years have passed away since you and I and others, some of whom I see before me now, as sembled in this room for the purpose of trying to avert the war which now afflicts our land. We, sir, saw the coming storm ; we most respectfully invoked that party which had just achieved a great political triumph to pause and unite with us in efforts to avert calamities which we feared would shake this Government to its very foundation. Our fears were derided, our prayers were mocked, and we were told that we were not true men, because, we foresaw what is now taking place—a bloody and devastating civil war. How sad has been the intervening period ! How many men have been carried down to bloody graves ! How many homes filled with mourning ! How much of distress, of misery and agony has been felt through out this then free, and great, and prosper ous land of ours ! We meet again to night, when the war in its progress has brought us to another of its stages, and once more, Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the Democratic party of this State, I stand up here to-night to appeal most earnestly and respectfully to our Republican friends again to unite with us and save our land from yet greater calamities. But I will not dwell long on the darker side of this picture. Sad as it has been, some great good has grOWn out of the struggle. We have learned at last to value our Union aright; and those who but three or four short years since heaped upon us words of scorn because we pleaded for it and would save it, and stigmatized us as Union savers,' are to-day glad to come before the people and claim to be the particular and especial friends of this Union. [Cheers.] For this I am grateful, although I think this recognition of the truth of our posi tion might have been made in a more gracious form. Bat more than that : At the late convention held in Syracuse, I re joice that it was put forth that that party means to struggle for the Union and the Constitution. Bat a little time since, men were stigmatized as traitors who would protect constitutional rights. This recog nition I accept most gratefully, and none the less thankfully because it goes forth to the world with many harsh and unkind censures of myself. I stand here forget ting all that is said that does wrong to you and to me, with a heart full of gratitude to know that at length from all parties a recognition of the great truth that this Union has a value past computation, and that the Union is to be preserved and the Constitution respected by the common consent of all parties. I am not one of those who, in this hour of the country's distress are without hope. Indeed, I re gara the future hopefully and confidently. This sad war has taught us not only the value of the Union, but, before we shall have done with it, it will teach us other great truths and establish our Union on a firmer basis, and establish the rights of the States on such a foundation that hereafter no power can shake them. [Great ap plause.] I know that some of my friends look somewhat despondently upon the future. I know that the acts of the last Congress caused great alarm in all parts of.our land. I know that those acts origi nated in false and mistaken views of policy, and spring from those who would seek to make our Government stronger by con centrating a larger amount of power in the national Capital. I have never for one moment feared the result. I have felt, ever since the adoption of those measures, that the very means seized upon by the advocates of a strong central Government would overthrow forever the theories they were intended to establish. It will be proved by our experience now, and that which is to come, that those provisions in cur national Constitutimi that restrain the powers of the General Government were not put there solely for the purpose of saving the rights of the States. States have a vitality which will outlive more wrongs and outrages than any party can inflict. [Loud applause.] They may for a moment be overwhelmed and subdued, but they never can be extinguished. They are natural organizations so knit and bound together that when every effort has been made to suppress them they will rise up, again in all their original power, and maintain and assert all their constitutional rights. It is true that one of the designs of restraining the power of the general Government was to pioteot ,the rights of the States; but these were not the first and great objects for which they were in troduced. They were placed in the Con stitution for the purpose of saving and pre serving the national Government itself, because our fathers saw that if this Gov ernment was invested with, or attempted to exercise greater power than they con ferred upon it, it would destroy itself. Let us see if this theory is correct. A few months ago the national Legislature adopted a measure with regard to the cur rency, and another respecting indemnity for offences which officials might commit against the rights and liberties of the American people. They also passed the Conscription act, if I may be allowed to call it such. [Laughter and applause.] At that time, in conversation with politi cal friends, and opponents too—for I have had no secrets since I have entered upon the discharge of my duties ; I have had no view in regard to public affairs which I have not willingly expressed freely to all ; I have had no correspondence which I have not submitted most cheerfully to the ex amination of the post office authorities—l then expressed the opinion that when this measure of conscription was put into opera tion, an act which ignores the power of the States and trenches upon constitutional rights, in my judgment, which is incon sistent with the genius of the American people—l then ventured the opinion which I now express to you, that the ultimate result of that experiment would not be the destruction of the rights of States, not an undue increase of the powers of the gen eral Government, but that when they put it in operation they would find themselves weakened and baffled, simply because they had undertaken to do that which was in consistent with the nature of our Govern ment. AA hat is the result ? One year ago —I think it was within a few days of that time that you and I and others met in this room—the people had voluntarily given half a million of men to the' national army ; they poured forth their treasure without stint all over our land, in every school, district, and township, our country men went forth to swell the national forces. Why ? Because they were forcibly com pelled ? No, but because they were sent by the popular will expressing itself in every minor locality throughout the land. At that moment our Government was armed with a military power unequaled in the history of the world. Forgetting the source of that power, and that with all that military strength their surest reliance must be upon the popular will, they entered upon a line of policy whioh we deemed inconsistent with public rights and opposed to public sentiment. We took issue with them when we went out before the people, and combated them in the very hour of their strength, when they had the largest military array to be found on the face of the globe, and we beat them. Then in those acts which we deemed inconsistent with the rights of the States and rights of persons, and which they supposed were acts calculated to strengthen their power and diminish the power of localities, they found their own defeat and ditioomfitnre. They passed the Conscript act. They set aside that system which had heretofore prevailed, of filling our armies by the voluntary enlistment of men from different States and different sections of States, and undertook to say they would fill their armies by coercion. What is the result to-day ? This State, that one year ago vol untarily gave 120,000 men to fill the armies of the Union—the State oLNew York which beyond any other spot in the Union was distinguished for its contribu tions of men and money—what do we see in that State to-day ? Men going cheer fully and voluntarily forth to sustain the flag that floats around us here ? No ! but that very Government whose request was enough to summon hosts to the field, finds itself compelled to put forth its utmost power to drag a few unwilling men from their homes. Is this strength or is it weakness 1 Is is success or failure. Let us go a little further. We are told that it was impossible any longer to fill our armies by the system of volunteering, and yet during the very time that that system has been destroyed by the operation of the Conscription law, the State of New York, since the Ist of January last, according to the reports of the paymaster general, has raised more than 12,000 men—more than will ever be taken out of the State by that very Conscription law. I do not say but that a number of men will be carried into the army by the system of substitution, but that is volunteering, and I venture to say that out of the whole draft made upon this great State under the existing law, there will never be six thousand who will go because they were drafted. As I said before, I am full of hope for the future, because I believe that any at tempt that may be made by the General Government to pass beyond its legitimate bounds, so far from endangering the rights of the States, simply endanger the power and the dignity of the Government itself, and they will be taught by experience what our fathers attempted to teach them by admonition, that the strength, perpetuity, and glory of the Government must be based upon the hearts of the people, and cannot be upheld by physical force. Be lieving, then, as I do, that unconstitutional legislation would be found not to strength en, but to weaken the Government, and that the doctrine of centralization will be found hereafter to be impossible, and the men who favor it will be forced back by experience to the teachings of our fathers, I am confident that our glorious Union and the rights of—tkie States are to be preserv ed, for I feel confident that our political opponents will find themselves driven back upon this subject, as upon many others, to our ground, by the force of necessity. I believe as I do in my own existence that before two months have passed away their own experience in government, and the utter failure of the theory that to make a Government strong you must vest it with power <which it cannot wisely and safely "THAT OM:WHY 18 THE MOST PIIOBPIEDDB WHIRR LABOR 0010tABD8 THE GRIETICT REWARD." LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 22, 1863. exercise, will be renounced by all parties of men, and out of this sad war we shall have the satisfaction of plucking some great and vital truths that will give a new strength and vigor to our Government, when all classes of men have been taught by the lessons of sad experience that there is but one way to'maintain the glory and power of our Government, and that is an adherence to constitutional law; that there is but one vay to preserve the Union of these States which is by upholding the rights of all the States, and giving them those privileges our fathers designed they should have; that there is but one way to i secure the durability and perpetuity of the Government, and that is by adhering to the system which makes it beneficial in its operation, which respects the rights of every man, and preserves as sacred the rights of every household. [Great ap plause.] Let me say one or two words more in regard to the Conscription Act.— Many charges have been made against me, which I have never noticed, but perhaps I owe it to you who have sustained me so far, and have passed by so generously and candidly a thousand mistakes which I may have made in policy and judgment, to give you some statements of facts which have not heretofore been laid before the public, I have never sought to embarrass this Gov ernment, opposed to it as I am, traduced by its organs and officials. I have never forgotten that still it was the Government of our country. I appealed to the friends of the National Administration—l appeal ed to its agents, who reproach me with re gard to that subject, to avoid the fatal er rors they have committed, to make them see they would not find strength, but weak ness, and were destroying the public con fidenoe and, the public regard for the na tional Administration. When that meas ure was passed, I attempted to save them from the odium which would attach to the execution of a measure intrinsically harsh and burdensome, if any fraud was perpe trated in putting it in operation. I did so in no unfriendly spirit. Who had the deepest interest in having our armies filled by th e e voluntary action of the citizens ? We who are out of power, or the friends of the Government? Could we render any service for which they should have been so grateful as the very efforts we made to save them from the necessity of a course so much opposed to the public will and sentiments I Yet for all this we were tra duced and.denounced. When it was dis covered the returns sent to the Executive Chamber in July, and only then discover ed, that a monstrous irregularity existed in the burdens which this act imposed on the different counties, I deemed it not only a duty to the citizens of this State, but I considered it my duty to the national Gov ernment, and for which I should receive its gratitude, to point out the errors which have been committed. I appeal to the public if there were any class of men in our land who had so deep an interest in having the act fairly and justly carried out as the officers of the Government ' themselves. Was it for their interest to add to the odium of an act necessarily un popular, by unfairness and inequality ? I appeal to the public if he was not their best friend who attempted to warn them of every wrong, and make suggestions that would commend it to popular favor and support. And therefore 1 deemed it my duty to send men to Washington who I supposed would be acceptable to the na tional Administration, and I addressed a communication to that Administration written with a sincere desire to save them and our country and people from what I earnestly believed to , be a great wrong.— Yet this act was stigmatized as one of hos tility to the general Government, and cal culated to embarrass it in the execution of the law. And it has been said that the publication of those letters was calculated to irritate the public feeling and arouse popular resistance. If that is true, why did they publish the letters 1 [Laughter and applause.] For none of the commu nications which I have addressed to the Government have been laid before the public by me. Not only the communica tions which I have addressed to the gen eral Government have been published, but those written to the commanding Gen eral of the Northeastern District. There are two communications which have never yet been published. Ido not complain of that, because in their form they were not official, although they were not declared to be private and confidential. [Laughter.] In the desire to save this Government from any act that would bring discredit upon it, I addressed a letter to Mr. Lincoln with the most friendly purpose. Before I re ceived an answer I had discovered what I believed to be a great fraud in the enrol ment for the draft. I advised him that although I was politically opposed to his Administration, and although I might un consciously to myself, be influenced by my own partisan views, nevertheless I had that regard for the honor of our country and the character of the Administration, that I felt compelled to write this private letter, in order that these outrages might be fully investigated. The letter was not official ; it commenced Dear Sir,' instead of Sir,' but it was written in a friendly spirit, for all my friends' are not in New York. [Laughter and applause.] But more than that. I addressed a letter to the General commanding the Northeastern District, with whom I have been on terms of friendship, and now maintain a corres pondence, and suggested to him that I felt this enrollment was unequal, if not frau dulent, and that if I bad given way to my resentment I might allow it to be carried out, and if it was it would bring shame and disgrace on its authors, and 1 valued the character of the Administration too much to be willing to see it do any act that would bring it into discredit in the eyes of the world. 1 felt the embarrass ment of his position, and told him I wish ed to avoid seeing him in a position where he might be impelled by a sense of military 'obligation on the one hand, and repelled by his aversion to fraud and wrong on the other. Unfortunately, the letter disturb ed his taste as to a word, and not his sense of injustice as to a wrong. Now, with re spect to this act, I think any one who will look at the conduct of the Democratic party, and look at my own correspondence; will find that so far from being actuated by a desire to embarrass this Administra tion, we have a desire to save it from plunging into great, I will,not say fatal, errors. I ask you if it win just to stig matize men who only wished to have jus tice done, as unfriendly to the Union and the institutions of our land I I appeal to you. if you have ever found a man yet—l care not what his political sentiments were I —who would say that it was not right and just that the public should not have the names of the enrolled placed before it, that all might see that it was a fair enrol ment, or who desired that those rolls should be fairly deposited in the box and drawn out under circumstances that would satisfy the whole community that the exe oution of the law was fair, equal and just? And yet, when, through a member of my staff, I made the request that those steps should be taken, not only was that request not complied with, but those who made it with a sincere desire to avert wrong, were stigmatized as men who were willing to ex cite this community to violence, outrage, and bloodshed. My friends, we are not among those who stand up proposing to violate law ; we tell those in authority that our purposes are not—in the pursuit of right or the punishment of wrong—to vio lata law, but to vindicate law. So much for the past .and present. Now what for the future ? Whatever wrongs we •may have received from our political opponents, whatever injustice has been done to us heretofore, how much and unjustly they may have traduced us, I stand here for one, and I believe I express the sentiment of every man within the sound of my voice when I say let the past be forgotten, and all the evils which have been brought upon the country, because you would not heed our warning voice, pass into oblivion. Let violations of constitutional rights and sound policy be left out of view if you will only heed our respectful prayer now, when vic tory has crowned the efforts of our armies, to prevent calamities in the future. Within the last two months the army has gained signal victories. Heretofore it was felt that any policy calculated to win bank the South would appear as the result of defeat and disaster. All men felt that while we had failed to assert our power, endurance and resources, in the eyes of the world, such a policy might lead to complications and difficulties in the future, and all men are ready to wait until the time should come when the Government, consistently with pride, magnanimity, and generosity, might mars out a policy that would unite the people of the North as one man for the future. Now I appeal to you, what should be the policy in the hour of victory 1 When the Government has had great and signal successes, which vindicate its power in the eyes of the world, I ask you if that policy should not be a generous and magnani mous one? We have reached a point where the future policy of the Government must be marked out. Shall it be that of subju gation ? Shall we declare by that forceand force alone, great States shall be held within the limits of this confederacy— each State stripped of the character of a State, and forbidden to return again to the Union, except on terms inconsistent with their constitutional rights, inconsistent with the dignity of the States which make up this great and glorious Union ? [Loud cheers.] What does that policy imply 1— The shedding of blood, the exhausting of treasure, the continuance for an indefinite time of a devastating war, which, when it has reached its highest success, must still go on, and the wealth of the North wasted to hold the South in military subjection. It can lead to but one result. There is no man that does not know and admit that the indefinite continuance of a war, with all its vast expenditures, mast ultimately end in national bankruptcy and ruin.— Shall we enter upon a line of policy that promises no end to this struggle, that may sacrifice blood and treasure without limit, dangers of defeat, the liabilities of foreign intervention, rather than sacrifice one pas sion, one prejudice, or do one act of mag nanimity or generosity ? That is the one policy ; now what is the other. I appeal once again to our Republican friends that, laying aside all party passions and preju dices, they meet with us in the spirit of men who love their country and are pre pared to make any and every sacrifice to uphold its cause, that we may superadd to the power of force the power of concilia tion. Is there not more hope for stopping this enormous expenditure of treasure and blood which is carrying down young men to early graves, if we show to the world that we are prepared to enter upon a gen erous and conciliatory line of policy 1 How can any one object to a policy that would unite the people of the North and awake at the South whatever there is of love of the Union or lingering attachment to its flag, which I believe slumbers and sleeps but is not dead? I ask if magnanimity, patri otism, true statesmanship—if every large, and noble feeling does not now impel us to say that it is the duty of the party which has shown itself most powerful in military affairs to be magnanimous and noble, to stand before the world and say : Our bro ther has not crouched down before us ; we have not trampled upon him ; we have not gratified our passions and malice and hate. Is that a position as noble as to say in the moment of oar triumph : Return to this Union, return to your allegiance, and every right you have as States, as communities, as individuals, shall be preserved to you sacred and inviolate? [Loud cheers.] We are brought to that stage of this war when men must choose between two true lines of policy. Oar armies are triumphant in the field, our soldiers have vindicated their courage and patriotism ; they have shown themselves ready to sacrifice home and all that men hold dear, and life itself, and the question comes back to us who have not been in the field : Will we make sacrifices of pride and passion, and give power to the armies by declaring dist we enter upon a policy that superadds conciliation to force His Excellency then referred to the let ter of the President addressed to the Re publican State Convention. He was wil ling to leave the Emancipation policy where the President had left it. If valid it must stand, and if invalid it will fall,and it must fall, because it is invalid. [Great cheering.] He entirely agreed with the President when he declared the emancipa tion policy to be one of those things entire ly inoperative and absurd, and only a bull agaitst the comet. But he read the letter with regret, because it does not apparent ly contemplate any end to the war, or pro pose a policy that will bring it to an end in any time consistent with the safety and interest of the American Government. On the other hand, we are ready to mark out the policy on the subject, and to call upon this Government to declare that its policy shall be conciliatory, and if the South returns it will return with all its rights as they are marked out in the Constitution of the .country. Whether the Government was ready to say that or not, the speaker for one was ready, and he believed that a - -BUCHANAN. party greater than the Government and more powerful than those in office was ready—he meant the great conservative party—to guarantee to the South its entire rights upon its return to the Union. He had never sought to embarrass the Govern ment, but to uphold its armies, and send succor to those battling there, and he de nied himself the ordinary recreations de manded by the infirmities of man, toiled until the hours of midnight, that he might do his duty to that portion of the army from the State of New York. He had is sued more than five thousand commissions, and he did not believe the Government could find any just dissatisfaction with his action in that matter. Referring to his action in despatching troops to Pennsylva nia, he gave all the credit to the soldiers who responded to the call. In conclusion, he again expressed his hopefulness of the future. He never be lieved that the rights of States would be destroyed ; they had seen what bayonets might do to displace ballots at other quar ters, but the principles. of civil liberty and constitutional law, and the wisdom of the fathers, will outlive all the folly of their sucessors. One good result of the war was that we had learned the value of the Union. Lessons had been taught neces sarily to fit us for enjoying the institutions of our country. Under those institutions they had grown in eighty years from an insignificant nationality to be one of the greatest powers in the world.— This much they had known, but it was half the truth. All knew that under our local system of local self government we had reached this result, but there were men who believed that we would have been Still greater and more prosperous under a Government having more power centered at the national Capi tal. Bat this war will prove not only that we become a great peoplAnder the doc trine of State rights and local self-govern ment, but that we cannot become a great, happy, or prosperous people if we enlarge the powers of the Government, exercised in a region favorable neither to morality nor patriotism. By a policy of oonoiliation we shall in vite and unite the people of the South to return by every consideration of patriotism and interest ; but to a dissolution of the Union never would consent, but labor for its restoration so that every star that glit ters on the blue field of the national ban ner should be held as sacred, and he who would strike but one of those from its place is as great a traitor as he who would rend that banner asunder. Governor Seymour resumed his seat amid the wildest enthusiasm. SICKNESS NOT CAUEELESS.—There never can be disease without a cause ; and al most always the cause is in the person who is ill ; he has either done something which he ought not to have done, or he has omit ted something which he should attended to. Another important item is, that sickness does not, as a general thing, come on sud denly ; as seldom does it thus come, as a house becomes enveloped in flames, on the instant of the fire first breaking out. There is generally a spark, a tiny flame, a trifling blaze. It is so with disease, and promptitude is always an important ele ment of safety and deliverance. A little child wakes up in the night with a dis turbing cough, but which, after a while, passes off, and the parent feels relieved ; the second night, the cough is more de cided; the third, it is croup, and in a few hours more, the darling is dead ! Had that child been kept warm in bed the whole of the day after the first cough ing was noticed, had been fed lightly, and got abundant warm sleep, it would have had no cough the second night, and the day after would have been well. An incalculable amount of human suffer ing, and many lives would be saved every year, if two things were done uniformly. First, when any uncomfortable feeling is noticed, begin at once, trace the cause - of it and avoid that cause ever after.—Second, use means at once to remove the symptom; and among these, the best are those which are most universally available and applica ble, as rest, warmth, abstinence, a ()lean person, and a pure air... When animals are ill, they follow nature's instinct, and lie down to rest. Many a valuable life has been lost by the unwise efforts of the pa tient to 'keep up,' when: the most fitting plane was a warm bed and a quiet apart ment. Some persons attempt to harden their constitutions,' by exposing themselves to the causes wich induced their sufferings, as if they could by so doing, get accus tomed to the exposure, and ever thereafter endure it with good impunity. A good constitution, like a good garment, lasts the longer by its being taken care of. If a finger has been burned by putting it in the fire and is cured never so well, it will be burned again as often as it is put in the fire: such a result is inevitable. There is no such thing as hardening one's self against the cause of disease. What gives a man a cold to-day, will give him a cold to-morrow, and the next day, and the next. What lies in the stomach_ like a heavy weight to-day, will do the same to-morrow; in a less degree, but a greater; and as we get older, or get more under the influence of disease, lesser causes have greater ill effects ; so that the older we get, the great er need is there for increased efforts to avoid hardships and exposures, and to be more prompt in rectifying any symptoms, by rest, warmth, and abstinence.—Hall's Journal of Health. L It seems that crinoline, now and then, makes some amends for the disasters it has caused. One instance occurred at one of the Paris theatres, last week, where upon the stage, a trap-door was left open, through which a favorite actress would have been preoipitated had not the abun dant size of her crinoline filled up the va cancy and suspended her fair frame be tween the world above and the realms be low until succor came. BEANS —A lady who had boasted high ly at a dinner party, of the good manners of her little darling, addressed him thus: 'Charlie, my dear, won't yon have some beans 1, No,' was the ill-mannered reply of the petnlent cherub. - 11sTor exclaimed the astonished mother, no what r No beans,' said the child. Ladies are seldom troubled with the dumb ague, but are very subject to the kind that makes the jaws clatter. SEXING AN AVALANCHE PASs.—Mr. Francis Galton, sk well-known English traveller and member of the 'Alpine Club,' has this summer made a singular experi ence. He discoverd a spot on the Jung frau range, where he might stand in safety and watch the avalanches sweeping past him, within thirty feet of his person. In one half day he saw three descents.— The avalanches slid two thousand feet, then leaped two great bounds of a thou sand feet more, to the channel, olose to which he was standing ; and then burst out at the foot of the channel like a storm of shrapnell. Galton describes the general appearance of the avalanche, when seen at so short a distance, as that of 'an orderly mob filling the street and hasten ing, not hurrying, to the same object.' Something on the same impression is made upon one who looks attentively at the great sheet of water which rolls slowly down on the Canadian side of the falls, at Niagara. The motion is majestically de liberate, and though swift, not hurried. The noise of the avalanche in motion Mr. Galton likens to' the sound of a rapid tide rushing up many channels.' The ava lanche is.desaribed as consisting of a mass of ice balls, usually from a foot to a yard in diameter, which produce 'the fearful rattle of the ice-cascade.' MSS. PARNINGTON ON COSMETICS .- 'That's a new article for beautifying the complexion,' said Mrs. Bibb, holding up a small bottle for Mrs. Partington to look at: She looked tip from toeing out a woolen sock for Ike,. and took the bottle in her hand.—Gls it, indeed said she ; well, they may get up ever so many ros trums for beautifying the complexion, but, depend upon it, the less people have to do with bottles for it, the better. My neigh bor, Mrs. Blotch, has been using a bottle for a good many years for her complexion, and her nose looks like a rupture of Mount Vociferous, with the burning lather run ning all over the contageous territory.'
