TIIIRLY WARNING ?Olt FARKfati.
There has 'never yet been a Demo
°esti° national platform erected with
out having concealed somewhere in
its provisions or planks a snake.—
When Polk ran for President, the
'trick consisted in claiming for that
gentleman great merits as a protec-.
tionist, that he wts in favor of pro
tecting the •labor of the land, but
the organization of his Cabinet was
effected entirely on free trade pan=
ciples, while George M. Dallas, Vice
President, gave a outing vote which
prostrated the industry of the'ixinn;
try; end, for • time, threatened it
with bankruptcy. When Buchanan
was a candidate for Resident, the
trick was to deceive the people in
the' attempted encroachments of the
slav4 power, and the moment he
reached the White House, Buchanan,
like Polk, plotted the ruin of• free la
bor. For sortie reason, as Ave have
already written, every Democratic
platform, on which a candidate for
President has stood, concealed with-
in its . timbers . a•snake. That which
Seymour occupies contains, as usual,
a snake—one of the most poisonous
of the kind exec let loose among the
muses. When the Democracy talk-
ed about free trade they urged that
a protective tariff had a tendency ta
exact the hard earnings of the poor
and place them in the coffers of the
rich. In this very way poor men
have been seduced into Democratic
support, thereby cutting off the
means of contributing to their own
prosperity, because the Democratic
doctrine, of free trade has ever tend
ed to impoverish the country.. The
arguments advanced on equal taxa
tion are equally as sophistical as
those so long pet forward by the De
mocracy,on free trade. By the laws
of the United States, all farming
lands are exempt from taxation• for
national purposes. The Government . ,
of the United States never levies a
tax on farming lands—it puts no tax
on homesteads ; seeks no revenues
from that which shelters a man and
his family. But give us the equal
taxation for which the Democracy
now clamor, and what will be the re-.
stilt ? We answer, the levy of a direct
lax upon every - farm in the country.—
This is what equal taxation means.
The very best farms in the country
do not pay six ,per cent. on the in
vestment, taking Into account labor,
material, the local taxation and fail
ure of crops. Add to this the equal
taxation _which the Democracy adva
cats, and the, farmer will receive
about two per , cent. on his invest-
meat., There ten° evading this con
clusion. It is; what the Democracy
mean by equal taxation, and may be
regarded as one of those crusades on
the labor of die land peculiar to the
Democratic leaders, who have never
ceased in their hostility to ev4y form
of American industry.
thesubmit . this brief reference to
the true meaning of the Democratic
doctrine of equal taxation, to the
consideration of the agriculturists of
the country. The effort to weigh the
farmer down with burdens is in keep
ing with the repeated trials to break
down the mechanical enterprise of
the people of the United States.—
„Hence every farmer who votes for
Horatio Seyinour and a Democratic
candidate fort Congress, lends his in
dividual aid pa ensure self-imposed
direct taxation. Equal taxation does
not mean otherwise than levying ad
, ditional tax on the farmer ; because
farming laudii are now the only pro
perty not taxed by the United States.

this that the want to reach in order

The result of the election in Keine.
confirms !aneir the opinion we have
constantly expressed respecting the
Presidential canvass. It I destined
to end inlthe election of thin. Grant
Seymourfand Blair have to day not a
single chance .of success ; and the

will of necessity presently be concen
trated upon a mighty if not a despe
rate effort, to save the State of New
York, where a year since their major.
ity rose to 50,000,
In this: condition of affair it may
not be unwel - come to those fair mind
ed, thoughtful men, who are never
carried away bi*lillud- rush of
partisan enthusiasm, to consider in
what respects the election of General
Grant will, under , the presenteircum ,
stances, prove more beneficial to the
country than that of the great Demo
cratio chieftain of New Yort ,could
be.•
One of the chief points in which
the success of Grant appears to us
very desirable is fra nkly spoken of
by Gov. Seymour in his letter accept
ing the. Democratic nomination.. "It
must be clear to every thinking man,"
he sayit, "that a division of political
power tends to. check the' violence of
party action, and to assure the peace
and good order of society. The elec
tion of a Demecratic executive . and a
majority, of Democratic members of
the House of Representatives would
not give to the party organizition
the power to make sudden, or violent
changes, but it would l serve to check
those 'extreme measures which have
been deplored by the best men of both
political organization." The Gover
nor means here that it . would be a
good thing to have a Democratic
President and a mOjority in one
House of Congress, because, while
they could not carry through any
measures of Democratic policy, they,
could neutralize the Republican ma
jority in the Senate and check the
consumation of Republica i measures
that are already partially completed
What a singular recommendation
of a party, that even in its success it
must be substantially impotent
This is the first part of Governor Sey
mour's proposition • the second is,
that it would be advantageous to'
continue for at least four years longer
that-conflict between the Executive
and Congress which has been going
on for the . last 'three years. But
where would -be the advantage ?
Would it be in delaying for that pet
iirxl the'settlement of the Sc uth ?
Would it be in keeping the business
of the whole country in a feverish
and doubtful state ? Would it be in
the opportunities it would give to
demagogues of all parties to go up
and down the land disturbing the
public mind with phantoms of new
revolutions, new civil wars, n"w in
trigues and new overturns ? Would
it be in the paralysis of every branch
of t public service,and the robbery
of the public revenue by incompetent
and dishonest officials, such as the
due party can't punish and the other
won't turn out ?
' We can see no advantage to the
people of any portion of the country
in such a 'state - of things. On the
contrary, .we believe that the now
assured election of Grant must - be of
great benefit precisely because it will
close the conflict between the Execu
tive and Oongrc as, and produce a
permanent settlement of the Southern
States. The settlement may not be
the best that might be devised. It
may need improvement and alteration
from time to time hereafter. But it .
will put an end to the turmoil and
collisions that now render those
States little better than the camps of
hostile factions. It will give peace'
to the country, and allow it once'
more to start in the career of indus
try, commerce, and progress.
But if we turn from the programme
of Governor Seymour, as quoted
above, to that of General Blair, the
satisfaction of judici. , s men with the
election of Grant be exceedingly
increased. While o • ernor Seymour
proposes- ely • continue the
struggle against the legislative pow
er with which our experience under
Mr. John son has made us _familiar,
General Blair contemplates an active
military assault upon the work of
Congress in the South, to be followed
by the complete subjugation of the
Senate. The execution of this revo
lutionary scheme would at once set
on foot a civil war more bloody and
possibly more protracted than that
-which was commenced in 1861. We
may well be thankful that the issue
of the election will save the nation
from all danger of such a catastro
phe.
• At the same time it is comfortable
to be assured that in other respeOts
the Republic will be safe in the hands
of Gen. Grant. He is a*m,- mag
nanimous, disinterested, ifiOdest, pa
triotic man, endowed withixtraordi
nary common sense and judgment,
who has succeeded in the discharge
of every duty that has yet been laid
upon him, no matter how weighty or
important. Following these antecei
dents, we doubt not that he will, in
the great office to which he is about
to be elevated, seek exclusively for
the prosperity and honor of the coun
try, always preferring the public
welfare to every other consideration.
As he himself has explained it,. "he
will have no policy of his own to en
force against the will of the people ;"
or, in the, language of Gov. Seymeur,
he will be "willing to carry out the
wishes ofrthe people c xpressen in a
constitutional way "=New York

tleman to whom it was addressed
has' consented, to give it to the pub
lic: -
- s Pesze, September 411868. -
MY Dun Sig : It was my hope that
my distance from home would have
saved me from all participation-in
the political excitement prevailing
there. But I notice in one of the
newspapers that I am heart and hand
with Mr. Seymour. lam not aware
of anything in the present or the put
which could rightfully •subject me- to
such an imputation.
I have - been acquainted with Mr.
-Seymour more than, a quarier. of:s
century. He is an amiable gentle
man Of unexceptionable private char
acter, and respectable talents. But
you know as well as I that he has
not a single qualification for the
execution of the high official
trust to which he has been nominated,
and he is capuchin' deficient in that
firmness of purpose which in critical
emergencies is the only - safeguard
against public disorder and calamity.
He has been twice at. dilferent • times
Governor of the State - Of New York,
and he has in neither case 'had the
talent or the tact to keep. the Denio
cratic Party of the State together
more than two years. I'shotild regard
his election at - this juncture, when
steadiness of purpose,! decision and
selteontrol are so maili needed, ad
one of the greatest ; c !amities that
could befall the countri. Moreover,
he has been put in nomination by 'a -
Convention which has openly declared
the purpose of those it represents to
pay the greater part of the public
debt, contracted to preserve- the
Union, in depreciated paper. Such a
measure would, in my judgment, be a
palpable violation of the public faith,
pledged under circumstances which
should have been binding on all hon
orable men. Mr. Seymour has made
public speeches to show that it is our
duty to pay the debt in specie. In
accepting his nomination to the Presi•
dency. he adopts the declaration that
it ought to be paid in.paper. I know
nothing so'humiliating in the history
'of American politics as this tergiver
sation. It was, perhaps, not unfit
that Mr. Seymour, alter presiding, in
1804, over the Chicago Convention,
whiCh declared the . war a failure,.
.should preside over the Convention
of 1868, in which a proposition - to dis
credit the debt contracted to carry
on the war was received with "tre
mendous cheering," and that he should
be the chosen instrument-to execute
this act of national turpitude.
I do not believe that the wishes or
op nious of the great body of the
Democratic Party are fairly expressed
in . those proceedings. They have
-nothing in common with -the elites
manlike views of policy and the high
sense of national honor which guided
the party when Martin Vaa Buren,
William L. Marcy, Silas Wright,
Lewis Cass and Stephen A. Douglas
were among its moat conspicuous
members. I see but one course of
safety for the country under existing
circumstances and that is the elec
tion of Gen.
circumstances,.
On his decision
of character, good sense, moderation
and disinterested patriotism,l believe
the 'South will have a far better hope
of regaining the position in the Union,
to which it is entitled, thaniunder
man whose political career has been
in nothing more conspicuously
marked than in utter infirmity of pur
pose.
-Independently of all these colloid,
erations,l should be greatly surprised
if the people of the MAW States
were to elect at their Chief Magis
trate a man,who was making, at the-
Academy of Music, on the 4th of Ju
ly, 1863, a speech deficient in all the
characteristics of an elevated love of
country, at the very hour when Gen.
Grant was carrying the victorious
arms of the Union into Vicksburg;
and when .thousands of our fallen
countrymen were pouring out their
blood on the plains of Gettysburg, in
defence of their homes and the Gov
ernment, which Mr. Seymour was
doing all in his power to embarrass
and discredit. .
I am quite willing that you should
show this letter to any friends who
may take an interest in my opinion
in regard to the coming election, and
I am particularly- - fiesirons of remov
ing the impression, if it exists, that I
am in favor of Mr. Seymour, or the
repudiation of any portion of the pub
lic debt.
I am, dear Sir, very truly yours,

Mr. Moratio Seymour . . and the • New
York democratic delegation; between
the fourth of July, 1868, and the sev
enth of the Bathe mouth.
On the four of JUly Mr. Seymour
ih
and his Ne ',York - friends were
strongly in • ior of "ii platform of
national principlea" which hid been
approved by-Mr. Chase. .0n the iiev
enth day they . adopted a 'platform
Which, on every important issue be
fore the nation, is conspicuously the
reverse -of that in - its 'sentiments and
policy. The astonishing conversion
of Mr. Seymour and all his New York
friends, fr he positions of the
platter - they h proposed, to On
contra4onitions . of the' platform
they adopted ; line never been clearly
explained.- ' - '''• '
- But-it admits of only one explana
tion. The intervening days were
days of conference with the chiefs o
the laje rebellion. These men, Hamp
ton, Yorest, Toombs, - and the rest,
would not aciielit any platform which
looked 'np4in the rebellion as sup
pressed an. the - country as 'reunited.
They were resolved to fight their
battles again at thd polls, and to use
the northern , dninocrats again as
their allies.,/As4hey have since told
the-late soldiers of the rebellion,they
meant that "all . i the Gout ederacy had
fought for" should be obtained by the
triumph of the Democratic party, and
that its platform should recognise
seceseinn as "more alive than.ever."
Mr. Seymour ! and the New York
Democrats could not refuse' to obey.
The old habit of deference to the
oligarchy is still strong upon them.
They might suggest, but dare
riot insist. They did suggest, by
proposing one platform. - It was re-.
jected ; and they submitted to adopt
the opposite platform. •
The platform proposed gave ' thost
earnest thanks to the brave soldiers
of the Union, whose heroic courage,
patieht endurance and self-sacrificing
patriotism have - preserved for us an
undivided country."
The. Olatform adopted refuses . to
recognise that work as accomplish
ed ; but charges the Republican , par
ty with -disholving the 'Union, and
with "a military despotism."
Mr. Sep:Sour and ,the New. York
Democrats at once 'give up their ex"
preseion of gratitude to the patriot
soldiers, and, consent to sneer at
theni.
The platform proposed cordially
accepted emancipation, promised to
protect, improve and elevate the
freedmen, whom it called "this por
tion- of- the American people," and
advocated "the_broadest basis of_suf
frage," "and the speediest possible
removal of all civil and political dis
abilities." •
The platform adopted denounces
"negro supremacy," and demands a
return to
was
gookold times When
suff rage. "regulated and con
trolled exclusively_ by the political
power-of each state," and when, ac
cordingly, 'black men had no rights
that white men were bound to re-
spect.
Mr. Seymour and the Nevi York
Democrats sacrificed their Rep blican
'views at the familiar sound of the
voice and whip of their southern
masters, and accepted ',the oligarchic
plan. , '
The platform' proposed says that
"honor and duty,alike requires the
honest payment of the public debt,
.and the faithful performance of all
public obligations." ,
The platform - adopted, makes no
pretence to honor , of honesty, "but
plainly demands a dishonorable and - 1
dishonest method of getting rid of 'the
public burdens,
Mr. Seyinour and his New York
fflends meekly-lay aside the professed
convictions, and policy of their whole
public lives, and identify themselves
with those they have always-denoun
ced as scandalous.
The platform' proposed declares
that it is the duty of Gongress "to
alleviate the burdens of taxation by
wise distribution."
The platform adopted demands
"equal taxation of every species of
property according to its value."
Mr. Seymour and his friends cor
dially accept the latter. They give
up the only principle if"hich is practi
cally possible, and accept one which
will tax the poor man's necessitieb
equally with the rich man's lur,pries
- 7 the means of life as heavily as the
superfluities 'of extravagance.
The platform proposed is a patri
otic and statesmanlike document.—
The platform adopted is, -unpatriotic,
;illy and revolutionary. Mr. Sey
mour -and his immediate followers
exchange the first st of principles
for their opposites ; I and take the
differenCe in a nom ination for the
. i
Presidency. .
, The sale of principles is made. The
men beyond the state, who executed
the bargain with-the New York Dem
ocrats, are now paying the price in a
hearty support of Mr. Seymour. But
will the people sanction such a bar
.gain,? Are they also irr`the market,
-with their consciences and their
votes? Will not Chose who have
assumed that they are, be disappoin
ted in the result, and find that they
have,sold themselves" for nought ? •

ASBC3IPTIONT of nu REBEL PEBT.—
Tue Washington Republican has the •
following editorial :--
Gen.Hampton.in his sp ee ches makse' -- -
the following confessions : As a re-- "•-,
suit he revealed more of the laying.
and doings of the secret councils of
the democratic leaders of the national •
convention than .. was intended.—
Among other things he assured his
fellow rebels that, he west proniised,
if he weuld not insist upon too much -
in the platform, that himself and
friends should have everythingthey
wanted after the democratic party
had regained their lost , power. One
of the -- very fiist things the rebels
will ask will be the .assumption of
the rebel debt. This - 14 precluded by
-the amendment 'known as the four- •
teenth article. But the democracy 4 .
deny that this amendment has been
legally adopted, and threaten its nul
lification. This -threat is the result
of the promise to Hempton, and is
made ad a guarantee; of their good
faith. The financial attitude of the
democratic party, acting ender the
dictation of their rebel. allies, is
therefore just this : the practical re
pudiation (by their Payment in green
backs) of the betide issued. by the
general government to put down the
rebellion, and the immediate assump
tion of the rebel debt incurred in the
prosecution of the-war against. free
dom and the Union.
RECKLESS APPROPRIATIONS.—We hear
-that the Democrat& are conduCting
the initial proceedings of the cam
paign by charging that Congress has
deranged the financial affairs of the
government by making reckless 'ap- '
propriations. The charge is a part
of Mr. Wallace's tactics . of assault.
But there is no force of tact in it. It
lacks truth. Instead of making reck
less appropriations,. '
Congress syste
matically reduced the estimates 91 the
.Heads of Leery Department asksngfor
an appfipriation to carry on its busi
ness. The expenses of - the Govern
ment,
_whicli during the war ; were
three thousand minion dollars per an
num, were reduced by Congress to
Tess than three hundred millions.—
The estimates of the Secretary of the
Treasury were most naturally re
duced, and on the single item of iel
ling and changing government bonds,
the government has been saved, by
the prtidence of Congress, many -mil
lions of collars per annum. The esti
mates of the War, Navy,fnterior and
State 'Departments were all " reduced
by Congress ; the military, navy and
civittests have been greatly reduced
by the same body, so - that instead of
Congress indulging in reckless appro-.
priations, it has required all the vig
ilance of that body to prevent the
President and. his Secretaries from
squandering so much money in peace
as it required to carry on the govern
meut in times of war. 7 -State guard.
Wins Grant was at Milken's Bend,
in Louisiana, early in 1803,a number
of despondent friends cheered him by
intimating that he would be whipped.
He replied on one occasion, "Lnever
expect to have . any army under my
commaed•whipped unless it revery
badly whipped and can't
,fielp it.". 7: .
Nor during the war was any_ army
under his command ever whipped;--
Nor new that he is commanding an
army larger than any, embracing all
' the patriotisui of the country, willhe
be whipped. The picket\firing down
in Maine and Vermont, and Out in:
Colorado, has been a success to as.
The line is now formed in order of
battle. Grant is commanding, and
every man is expected to do his duty.
Republicans I be prepared at every
point when the word comes to move
on the enemy's works.' .1
