GRANT AN I SEYMOUR, Grant's father t C moved from Penn. sylvania into hie, where Grant was riborn.; Seym nee father removed from Connecticuti into New• York; where Seymou'r wit s born. Both are therefore the s'onslof carpet-baggers. Grant wascincei defeated in an at tempt to get, oit ce ; Seymour has been several times defeated in simi- 1 lar attempts, and Commonly runs be hind his ticket 't Grant is a Isoldier ; Seymour is al lawyer Grant has never served in Congress, neithe* has Seymour ; Grant' has hel y no civil office undei the ederal' g ernmeut, neither hap Seymour. Neither of the two men was conspicnotts in national politics before the war. Each • really began in - 1861 the ca,lreet by - which he is known to the ptiblic. Grant was a bookkeeper iin a :Galena leather 'store,. and Seymour was travelling in Wisconsin. Both Were democrats. When the rebele fired on Sumter Grant went tol SiTingfield to serve in the state adjutant-general's office, and help to eqdip troops • Seymour, being at Milwaukee, refu sed to speak for, the war ; and it is asserted and not contradicte, e cipressed his sym pathy - with " he ;South." At this point the cares of !the two men di verge. It may be; useful to follow them through il the I trying scenes of the war Grapt'al weapon• was his sword ; Seymenesi his tongue ; let us see how each served his country. Grant enters t..1i4 army as colonel; Seymour remai ed silent. Bull Run came. Grant q ietly drilled bis men; Seymour quiet)y sucked his thumb. Bet events called Seymour out first. Of. the 28th of! October, 1861, SeY rn; sir broke grout l at - Utica. Re said : "If it is t ine that -slavery :nest be abolished ti'S save - this Union, then the people' of the South should U. allowed to ssiittiqaw themselves." Tie-re was at that time a general cry that party lines should be brokeu diiwil and all men i should unite, re cordless of paqy, fer the defence of the ghvernmeut, under the name of a Union party. I For the end demo crats land Repuplicans were nothina ted together upon 4 ticket, aud .svar democrats and Repeblicans joined in its support. Bnt Mr. Seymour said : " I appeal to the . conservative -and patriotic men Who have joined - that organization if 'xheylare acting wise ly anti well ip affiliating with tit - nee whose principle's acid purposes they' detest; or in Owing in office men whom they believe to have been in strumental in eai.ssin./ this war." While Seymour . was thus attack leg the party wich by the choice of 1 the American p oplt" represented the government, Gr nt Was. preparing to attack the reb Is ;land on the first of November, on days after Sep Mour's Utica s eech, Grant ' leenin troops to battle at I Belmont, where he so crippled the enemy as to pre vent an intended invasion of Ilia seurlni. 1 February, 1862 Grant Captured Fort Donelson, I which filled Union men with joy, and caused consterna tion in the rebel' rinks. Nashville fell, Kentucky was relieved. from in vasion, Columb u s, on the Mississippi we , . evacuated, add ;the rebel armies rapidly retreated tq Corinth. It is not recorded that lA. Seymour took part by voice in any of the joyful demonstrations cobsnquent upon this event. The official report of his speeches is a blank ; I during this pi riod. But `on the 10 of September; 1862, Seymour received the demo cratic nomivatibn tor* Governor, in New York. _.• Grant shad once more beaten the rebels 14 Shiloh ; and was now thinking 'of Tickebtkrg, when Seymour Tose lin the Conven tion at' Albany, and thanking the delegates for hie noniintition, lament-, ed 1 that no cgapr4mme bad -.been' made with, rebels. ti ?LeGlellan had been defeated, 1 .thel; country was gloomy, and Se' monr- •thonght it a proper .occasion lei ; what? for en: cOuragement ?. f r c eering words? for urging men . to s nd by the Igor etnment T No il be l l said : .

Seymour , say I about this time f He was then Gov. ernor of New York and in his first message he took occasion to steak once more - of " rutorthern to :complain that " the laws, courts ald.officers of New' York had been !' treated with marked and public contempt " by, the ailminietration, and that ite "Weilll order and sacred rights had been.ifolated." He said: "This war should have been averted; bat when its floodgates were opened, the administration could not grasp its dimensions nor control its sweep' Nowhere did he 'blame the rebels, without at the same time blaming the administration and the party in pow er as equally disunionist& While Seymour thus used his in fluence as Governor to . 1 bring the government 'into contempt, and i to stir up the North hatred and suspi cion towards it, Grant was seeking to beat the enemy, and about this time said : "1 Olen take no step backward ; it would seem to the country, now discouraged, like a re treat. I have considered the plan, and have determined to 'Carry it out.' A crisis in the affairs of the-natibn and of the war came on in July, 1803. Grant had been for several months beleaguering 'Vicksburg ; no one knew with what hopes ooouccess. Lee had invaded Pennsylvania, and was opposed by the Army of the Po tomac under, Meade. The people were anxicui, excited, fearful of d's aster. Seymour was then GoVernor; and it wee in his power, by cheering and hopeful words, to 'animate the downcast, to rally the people for a determined effort, to unite all men for' he salvation of the Union. Is that What he• did ? On the 4th of July he addressed the people at the Academy of Music, -in New York.— He began with a sneer, well calcula ted to delight the enemies of the Unica. " When I accepted the invi tation to speak with others ' at this meeting,we were promised the down fall of Vicksburg, the _opening of the Mississippi, the probable captule of the Confederate capital, and the ex haustion oc the. rebellion. But in the moment of _expected victory there came the midnight cry for help from Pennsylvania," &c. This was the keynote, of his, speech. It was one long and bitter philippic against the administration. But while Seymour was still raising and delighting, .all who wished_ the war to fail and Jeff. Davis to win, Grant was receiv inglheNsurrender of Pemberton and his army, and of Vicksburg, and, Meade was defeating Lee iu a bloody battle at Gettysburg. No spotter had Vicksburg fallen than Grant sent a force to overtake uud defeat Johnston, and another to help Banks against Port Hudson.— Port Hudson fell, and Juknaton was defeated, about the time the New York riot broke out. That riot, the result to a large extent of the 4th of July speech of Seymour, was anima -1 ted by the Most cruel and mean spir it. Yet Seymour-addressed the men who had burned au orphan asylUm and killed defenceless and harthless men and women and children, ip lan guage which could not faitAlo en courage them, . and persuade \them that they were right. He said, ac cording to the World's report, " On Saturday last sent the Adjutant- General of the state to Washington for the purpose of requesting that , the drat might be postponed ; and. I had every reason to believe that the request would be complied with.' be seen that he still spoke, even to rioters, in a tone of com plaint. Not only this ; he further gratified the rioters by urging the withdrawal of troops from one of the most disorderly wards. The next year, in pursuance of the same_poli cy of gratifying the lawless, he sub scribed to the Chicago platform, which - urgedthe cessation of hostili ties against the rebel rioters in the South. Seymour's language gave great hopes to, therebels. His 4th of July speech was reprinted' at Richmond ; and regarded by all enemies of .the ;Union as a promise of help from the North. But Grant's efforts and vic tories cast down the rebels, and broke the power of their riotous or ganization. , Rosman. was defeated at Chicka mauga, and once more Seymour lift ed up his voice on the hopelessness of the war. On the 21st. of October, 1863, at -the Cooper Institute, he spoke of the probable,exhatistion of the country, of the enormous debts of the hopelessness of- the struggle, and urged "conciliation." -A few days afterwards Grant defeated Bragg at Lookout MOUntain. In August, 1864, Seymour 'was. president of that Chicago -Convention which, under his inspiration and that of Vallandigham, . again denounced the war ae a failure, and demanded an immediate cessation of hostilities. llnlueltily,for him, who was so often unlucky, Atlanta was captured by , Grant's lieutenant and Mend, Sher man, only a few days after this plat- 1 form of submission to rebellien was adopted. It would serve no useful end to carry the comparison further. !All through we see baymour-advecaiing a — pOlicy which would have divided the North and given the victory to Jett bavis ; all through, at the same time; we see Grant carrying the lag of hii otsmtty from ,victory to victor ry,.

On motion of Rev.rDsvid Craft, Gen. W. PA.TTON was elected Chairman, and S. W. GamlN, Secretary.

Dodge, Kellum, Montgomery, Frazier, Seeley, Ridgway, sister Smiley and others, stated the condition of their respective lodges, which were reported as generally prosperous. The committee on resolutions reported the following resolutions, dm, which:, after is, general dismission and interchange of views, were adopted : Resolved, By this Convention of Good Templars, That the time has arrived when the,fnends of, temperance should fake po litical action, irrespective of political par ties, so far as relates to elective public offi cers who aid in enacting and administering the laws affecting the cause of temperance; and would recommend to the m-%mbers of our order to vote only for knowii temper ance men for Members of the State Legis lature and for t county and township offices. In presenting the Temperance question as a subject t'or• legislative % action.. we do it not simply on the, ground of its moral character, but as a question'of economy ; believing that we have the right to demand of our legislature a release from the bur densome taxation necessary to support the liquor interest. The following resolutions, also reported by the committee, were unalimmialyadopt , ed without discussion : WEIEBEAR, A permanent temperance or ganization is needed to give order and effi ciency to the temperance movement, and to devise plans of action for the extension of the temperance cause, therefore, Resolved, That we form a County Lodge of Good Tempters which shall con sist of representatives from toe subordinate lodges throughout the county, so that each Lodge shall be entitled to at least one vote, one having fifty membeas ,to two votes and one cote for every additional twenty-five members. 2., That a committee of three be appoint ed to draft a constitution for said Lodge. to be reported to an adjourned meeting Of this convention. 3, That when a constitution is adopted it shall be by amajority of the Lodges rep resented, each Lodge having one vote.

WHAT 7116 Y 11;0IIII IT TOR. - The new (confederate) constitution has put at rest forever all the agita ting questions relating to our pecu- liar metitutions--African slavery— as it exists• amongst us, the proper status of the negro in our form of civilization. 'This was the immediate cause of the late rupture and present revolution. * * * Our new ipv ernment is founded upon exactly She opposite id*a, (the idea of Mr. Jeffer son, that "the enelavament of the African was in violation of the laws of nature, and wrong in principle, socially, morally, and politically.)— Its foundations are laid—its corner sto us rests upon the great truth * * * that slavery, subordination to the superior race, is his (the negro's) natural and normal condition.—Con federate Vice President A. rf. Stephens' speech -at Savannah, Ga., March 21, 1861. WHAT JUSTIFICATION THEY HAD FOR IT What right has the North assailed ? What interest of the South has been invaded ? What justice • has been denied ? Or what claim founded in justice and right has,been withheld ? Can either of / you to=day name one governmentalj act c f Wrong . deliber• ately and purposely done by the Government at Washington of_ which the South has right to complain? I challenge the answer. While, on the other hand, let me, show the facts which powstand as records in the history ,of our 'country. When we of the South demanded the slave trade, did they not yield the right for. twenty -years? When we asked and dentanded a three-fifths. representation' in Congress for our slaves ; was it not granted ? When we asked and demanded the return of any fugitive from justice, or the return of those persons owing labor or allegiance, was it not incorporated in the Constitution, and again ratified and strengthened in thelugitive-slave law of 1850 ? • But do you reply, t Aat in many instances they have violated this compact, and have not been faithful to their obligations ? As individuals and local communities they may have done so ; but not by the sanction of the Government, for that has always been true to Southern interests. And I must declare here, as I have often done before,and which has been repeated by the greatest and wisest statesmen and patriots in this and other lands, that it is the best and freest Government, the mist equal in its rights, the most just in its decii ione,the most lenient in its measures, and the most inspiring in its princi ples to elevate the race of. man, that the sun of heaven ever shone upon. Now, for you to attempt to over throw snob a Government as this is the height of madness,folly,and wick edness, to which I can neither lend my, sanction nor my vote.—A. Stephens' address in the Georgia Con vention, January, 1861. J. BLAIR ON TIM DEMOCRACY. The Democratic 'party of the pres ent city is Democratic in name, and nothing else. The old Jefferson and Jackson principles have been aban doned. The man who did not escape the rope by three hours is the author of all to which the Democratic party of the present day" subilbribes. It has not one scintilla of true- Democ racy to animate its carcass.—F. P. /3/air. lIOTTTHERN HATRED FOR LABOR. In 1836, in the House of Represen tatives, Mr. Pickens, of south Caro lina, (afterward Governor of that State when, in 1800, she attempted to secede,) said that there never was. a society "where one class would not practically and substantially own another class in some shape or form. * * * All society settles down into capitalists and laborers. The former will own the latter, either. Col lectively through the government, or individually through . * state of domes tic servitude as exists in the Southern States. The only contest in the world is between the two systems." LiHOMEI SHOULD BE SLAVES Keitt, of South Carolina, a Demo. cratic Representative in lengress, and a rebel soldiei =daring the war, declared "free society a failure," "The ordiz ance of God," ho said, "condemns mankind to labor, and certain menial occupations are in compatible with menial cultivation." Slavery, according to him, produced a superior class of gentlemen, who were "substitutes for an order of no bility." Ruffin, of Virginia, author of "The Political Economy of Slavery," fired the first gun is the recent war, and the last also, for after the surrender of the rebel armies he blew his - nun brains out with a rebel musket ball. Ruffin proposed in the book referred to to reform the "hireling labor so• ciety" of the. North. He wanted to reduce the laboring class to "domes tic bondage." ". . lILLVIMY TR BASIS 07 DZIOCRACT.

Hammond, of South Caroline, who, later In life, denounced Northern me chanics as the "incidents of society," at the beginning of his Democratic career declared, in the same Thirty- Fourth Congress, 'that slavery was the greatest of all blessings which s kind Providence had bestowed• upon the South" and its "glorious aristoc racy." Governor McDnffic, of South Caro lien, in the House of Rep resentatives, in 1858, that when the, masses stepped out of bondage "they branched into four recurring subdivi sions—the hireling, the begar, the thief, and the prostitute — w hich have no general - existence unless there have been a commencement of eman cipation." In 1835 John C. Calhoun, the De-m -ocratic apostle of the dianninnism, declared that the protection of sla-. very was a "higher law" than , the Constitution and "the laws of the General Government." s Hammond, of South- Carolina, de clared that the difference between the white slave (i. e., our working man, and the negro) was that "thy negro is hired for life and well cow pensated," and the "white slave im hire 4 by tne day, not cared for, aid scantily compensated." Senator Mason e ot Virginia,dedareri publicly that the " so-called fr, States" would be More properly styli "the servile States." NO UNION WITH THE_ sem. The Richmoud Diguiteit of the 101 of January, 1863, used this lan guage We warn the - Democrats and Con ,' strvativeii of the North to dismiss Ifrom their minds at once the miser- , able delusion that the South can ever consent to enter again upon any terms, the old.. Union. If the North would allow ns to write the Constiln tion ourselves, and give us every guarantee we would ask, we would, sooner be under the. government of England or France than under a Union with men who have shown that - they cannot act in good faith and are the-most barbarous and in fmman, as well as the most , treacher ous of mankind. Governor, Zebulon B. Vance, of North Carolina, made an elaborate speech at Wilkesborough, in that State, in the fail Of 1884, in which he declared that-- . "There was no more possibility of reconstructing the Qid Union, and reconstructing things as .they were fear years ago, 'than exists foryou to gather up the scattered bones of your sons who have fallen in thi. straggle from 'one end of the country to the other, reclothe them with flesh, fill their veins with the blood they have so generously shed," &c. WHAT THEY SAID DURING THE WAR. On the : 17th' of August following, Robert Toombi, of Georgia, said, in a letter dated Washington, Geor gia: "I can conceive of no extremity to Which my country could be reduced in which would, fora single mo ment, entertain ,any proposition for any union with the North' on any terms whatever. When all else is -lost, I propose to unite withthe thou sands of my own countrymen who have found honorable deaths, if not graves, on the battlefield.", -In January, 1863, Jeffereon Davis said, in a speech at Richmond, as re p_orted in the Richmond 'Enquirer of (limitary 7, of that year.; - "Yon fight the ascontings of the earth.

General Wade 11,mptop said his speech it the -first r4tificAti.ri meeting he attended at Charleston : "I yield to none in devotion to that ''Lost Cause' for which we fought.— Never shall I adnxit that the • cause itself failed, and that the principles which 4ave it life were therefore wrong.
