Surveyor General, Gen. WELLINGTON ENT, of Columbia Telegraphic report received this morning, announces the death of Thad. Stevens, yesterday. Read Horatio Seymour's splendid letter in this paper. It is the very sublimity of consis tency for the party which argues that a National debt is a National blessing, to keep on increasing the "blessing" by pec ulations frauds and plunder. 'liah for the " Bureau " ! 'Rah fot Mercur's " Claim Agency " ! Impudence. The impudent assumption of the radicals is manifested in their congratulations of the country, on the "assured success" of their reconstruction schemes, at the same time demand that the niggers be supplied with aims for the purpose of keeping down the white men in the southern half of the States. W hat impudence in the party that has made the country bankrupt by its extrav agance and stealings, to declare for re trenchment and reform in expenditures. Ilow impudent to claim that the war was carried on for the Union, and for three years refused to acknowledge a union ex cept with sneaking carpet-baggers and niggers. ilow impudent to claim to be the party of "great moral ideas " and following the lead of spoon thieves, woman hangers and irreligious libertines. What impudence to claim to be a party of temperence, and place at the head of their ticket a notorious inerbriatc. What impudence to declare for impar tial sufirage, and bayonet from the polls all the intelligent white men in ten States. A Crowning Outrage. One of the last acts of the Radicals in Congre=s was to pass a bill punishing with fine and imprisonment any one who offers to vote or act as Election officers at the coming Presidential election in Mississippi Virginia or Texas : Mr. Lawrence, (Disun. 0.,) offered an amendment MAKING IT A PENAL OFFENCE, PUNISHABLE WITH FINE AND IMPRISONMENT, FOR ANY PERSON IN THE SAID STATES TO VOTE OR ACT AS AN OFFICER OF ELECTION IN THE ENSUING PRESIDENTIAL ELEC TION, and making it the duty of the President to prohibit such a thing. This amendment was adopted yeas, 112. nays 27, a strict party vote. Every Rad ical present and voting, recorded his name in favor of this infamous proposi tion. Can history point to a more high hand ed scheme of usurpation ? They disfranchise the whites. Ann the niggers. Exclude the States supposed to give Democratic majorities. And declare it a penal offence in three States to vote at the ljjesidential elcct tion. This is the Congress that the people are called upon to endorse.— Jrffersonian. Our opponents, in the desperation of their cause, are shirking the issue of the present and endeavoring to revive those of the past. But even in this line of strat egy they do their work bung ingly—for they do not argue, they abuse. They are bringing into use again stereotyped but (as every decent citizen will say) "played out " epithets of "copperhead,' "rebel," and the like which they apply to every one who docs not subscribe unreservedly to the creed of Radicalism. Not only is the great Democratic party the object of these expletives, but also such men as Judge Chase, Scnatof Doolittle, General Ewing, and other Republicans who can not, as friendn of their country, hesitate to express their disgust at Radicalism. The word "loyal "is also becoming quite pat again in Radical sheets, and the public are being nauseated with the constant bragging of the Radicals being tbe only "patriots" in the country It reminds us of men we have seen who, while dispara ing the integrity of everybody else, are constantly boasting of their own honesty— when they are, in truth, the greatest scoundrels in the community. Such characters are better watched than confi ded in ; and we would apply the advier to their copyists, the Radical.— Bradford. | Argun. LETTER OF HON. HORATIO SEY MOUR ACCEPTING THE DEMO CRATIC NOMINATION FOR THE PRESIDENCY. UTICA, August 4. GENTLEMEN : When, in the city of New York on the 11th of July, in the presence of a vast multitude, on behalf of the Na tional Democratic Convention, you tender ed to me its unamimous nomination as its candidate for the office of President of the United States, I stated I had no words "a<U equate to express my gratitude for the good will and kindness which that body had shown to me. Its nomination was unsought and unexpected. It was my ambi tion to .ske active part,from which 1 am now excluded, in the great struggle going on lor the restoration of good government, of peace and prosperity to our country. But I have been caught up by the whelming tide which is bearing us on to a great polit ical chauge, and I find rnyselt unable to re sist its pressure. You have also given me a copy of the resolutions put forth by the Convention, showing its position upon all the great questions which now agitate the country. As the presiding officer of that Convention, I am fam liar with their scope and import; as one of its members, I am a parly to their terms. They are in accordance with my views, and 1 stand upon them in the contest upon which we are now enter ing, and shall strive to carry them out in future, wherever 1 may be placed, in polit ical or private life." I then stated that I would semi you these words of acceptance in a letter, as is the customary form. I see no reason, up on reflection, to change or qualify thetemi of my approval ofthe resolutions of the Convention. I have delayed the mere formal act of communicating to you in writing what 1 thus publicly said, for the purpose of see ing what light the action of Congress would throw upon the interest of the coun try.lts acts since the adjounment of the Con veutioo show an alarm lest a change of po litical power will give to the people what they ought to have—a clear statement of what Las been done with the money drawn troin them during the past eight years. Thoughtful men feel that there have been wrongs in the financial management which have been kept from the public know ledge The Congressional party has not only allied itself with military power, which is to be brought to bear directly upon the elections of many States, but it also holds itself in perpetual session, with the avowed purpo'c of making such laws as it sh ill see fit, in view of the elections which will take place in a few weeks. It did not, therefore, ad journ, but take a recess, to meet again it its partisan interests shall demand its reas sembling. Never before in the history of our Country has Congress thus taken a menacing attitude towards its electors. Under its influence some of the States or ganized by its agents are proposing to de prive the people of the right to vote for I'residental electors, and the first bold step are taken to destroy the rights of suffrage. It is not strange, therefore, that thoughtful men see in such action the proof that there is with those who shape the policy of the Republican party, motive stronger and deeper than the mere wi-h to held polit ical power; that there is a dread of some exposure which drives them on to acts so desperate impolitic. Many of the able.-t leaders and journals of the Republican party have openly de plored the violence of Congressional action and its tendency to keep up discord in our country. The great interests of our Un ion demand peace, order, and a return to those industoral pursuits without which v e cannot maintain the faith or honor of our Government. The minis of the business men are perplexed by uncertainties. The hours of toil of our laborers are lengthen ed by the costs of living made by the di rect and indirect exactions of Goverment. Our people are harrased by the heavy and frequent demand of the tax gatherer.— | Without distinction of party there is a strong feeling in favor of that line of ac tion which shall restore order and confi dence, and shall lift off the burdens which now hinder and vex the industry of the country. Yet at this moment those in pow er have thrown into the Senate Chamber and Congressional 11 all new elements of discord and violence. Men have been ad mitted as Representatives of some of the Southern States, with the declaration upon their lips that they cannot live in the States | they claim to represent, without military protection. These men are to make laws for the North as well as the South. These , men, who a few days since were seeking as suppliants that Congress would give them power within their respective States, are to-day the masters and controllers of those bodies. Entering them with minds filled with passion, their first demands have been that Congress shall look upon the States from which they come as in conditions ol civil war; that the majority of their popu lations, embracing their intelligence, shall be treated as public enemies; that military forces shall be kept np at the cost of the peo ple of the North, and that there shall be no peace and order at the South save that which is made by arbitrary power. Evi-ry intelligent man knows that these men owe their seats in Congress to the disoider in the South; every man knows that thev not only owe their present positions to disor der but that every motive springing from the love of power, of gain, of a deire for vengeance, prompts them to keep the South in anarchy. While that exists, they are independent of the wills or wishes of their fellowcitizens. While confusion reigns, they are dispensers of the profits and the honors which grew out of the government of mere force. These men are now placed in positions where they cannot urge their views of policy, but where they can en force them. When others shall be admit ted in this manner froin the remaining Southern States, although they will have in truth no constituents, tlicy will have more power ia the Senate than a majority of the people in this Union living in nine of the great States. In vain the wisest men of the Republican party protest against the policy that leads to this result. While the chiefs of the late rebellion have submit ted to the results of the war, and are now quietly engaged in useful pursuits foi the support of themselves and their families, aud are trying by force of their example to lead back the people of the South to the order and industry, not only essential to their well-being, but to the greatness and prosperity of our common country, we see ) that those who, without ab-lity or influence, have been thrown by theagi'atinn of civil convulsion into possession of honor and profit, are striving to keep alive the pas sions to which they owe their elevation.— And they clamorously insist that they are the only friends of our Union—a Union that can only have a sure foundation in fra ternal regard and a common desire to pro mote the peace, the order and the happi ness of all sections of our land. Events in Congress since the adjourn ment of the Convention have vastly in creased the importance of a political victo ry by those who are seeking to bring back economy, simplicity, an I justice in the ad ministration of our national affairs. Many Republicans have heretofore clung to their party who have regretted the extremes of violence to which it has run. They have cherished a faith that while the action of their political friends lias been mistaken, their motives have been good. Tbev mu-t now see that the Republican party is in that condition that it cannot carry out a wise and peaceful policy, whatever its mo tives may be. It is a misfortune, not only to a country hut to a governing party itself, when its action is unchecked by any form of opposition. It has been the misfortune of the Republican party that the events of the past few years have given it so much power that it has been able to shackle the Executive, to trammel the Judiciary, and to carry out the views of the ino-t unwise and violent of its members. When this state of tilings exist in any party, it has ever been found that the sober judgments of its ablest leaders do not control. There is hardly an able man who helped to build up the Republican organiz ition who has not, within the past three years, warned it against its excesses, who has not been borne down and forced to give up bis convictions of what the interests of the country called for: or, if too patriotic to do this, who has not been driven from its ranks. If thi lias been the case heretofore, what will be its action now with this new infusion of men who, without a decent respect for the views of those who had just given them their positions, begin their legislative ca reer with call for arms, with demands that their States shall be regtrded a sina condi tion of civil war, and with a declaiation that they are ready and anxious to degrade the President of the United States whenever they can persuade or force Congress to bring forward new articles of impeachment. The Republican party, as well as we, arc interested ia putting some check upon this violence. It must be clear to every thinking man 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 election of a Demo cratic Executive, and a majority of Doino cratic members to the llouse ol Represent atives would not give to that party organi zation the power to m ike sudden or violent changes, but it would serve to check those extreme measures which have been dcplor ed by the best men of both political org in izations. The result would most certainly lead to that peaceful restoration of the Union and re.establisliment of fraternal re lationship which the country desires. I am sure that the best men of the Republi can party deplore as deepl}' as I do the -pirit of violence shown by tbo-e recently admitted to scats in Congress Irom the South. The condintion of civil war which they contemplate must be abhorrent to every right thinking man. I have no mere personal wishes which mislead my judgment in regard tothe pen ding election. No man who has weighed and measured the duties of the office of President of the United States, can fail to he impressed witli the cares and toils of him who is to meet its demands. It is not merely a float with popular currents, with out a policy or purpose. On the contrary, while our Constitution gives just weight to the public will, its distinguishing feature is that it seeks to protect the rights of mi norities. Its greatest glory is that it puts restraints upon power. It gives force an i form to those maxistn aud principles of civil liberty for which the martyrs of free dom have struggled through ages. It de clares the rights of the people 'to be secure in their persons, houses, "and papers again-t unreasonable searches "and seizure. Th it Congress shall make "no laws respecting an establishment of re - "ligion or the free exercise thereof, or "abridging the freedom of speech er of the "press, or the right of the people to petition "for redress of grievances. It secures the "right of a speedy and public trial by an "impartial jury." No man can rightfully enter upon the duties of the Presidential office, unless he is not only willing to carry out the wishes of the people expressed in a constitutional way, but is also prepared to stand up for the rights of minorities. He must he ready to up hold the exercise of religion. He must denounce measures which would wrong personal or home rights, or the reli gious conscience of the humblest citizen of the land, lie must maintain, without dis tinction of creed or nationality, all the priv ileges of American citizenship. The experience of every public man who has been faithful to his trust teaches him that no one can do the duties of the oflice of President, unless lie is ready not only to undergo the falsehoods and abuse ot the Dad, but to suffer from the censur° of the gold who are misled by prcdjudices and misrepresentations There are no attrac tions in such positions, which deceive my judgment, when I say that a great change is going on in the public mind. 1 be mass of the Republican party are more thoughtful, tem perate and just than they were dur.ng the excitements which attended the progress and close of the civil war. As the energy of the Democratic party springs from their devotion to their cause and not to their candidates, I may with propriety speak of the fact that never in the political history of our country lias the action of any like bod.< been hailed with such universal and widespread enthusiasm as that which has been shown in relation to the position of the National Democratic Convention.— With tliis the candidates had nothing to do. Had any other of those named been select ed, this spirit would have been, perhaps, more marked. The zeal and energy of the conservative masses spring from a de sire to make a change of political policy, and from the confidence that they can car ry out their purpose. Tn this faith they are strengthened by the co-operation of the great body of those who served in the Union army and navy during the war. Having given nearly j sixteen thousand commissions to the offi cers of that army, I knew their views and wishes. They demand the Union for which they fought. The largest meeting of these gallant soldiers which ever as sembled was held in New York, and in- I dorsed the action of the National Con : convention. In words instinct with meaning, they called upon the Govern ment to stop in its policy of hate, discord and disunion, and in terms of fervid elo quence. they demanded the restoration of the rights and liberties of the American v people. When there is such accord between those who proved themselves brave and | self-sacrificing in war, and those who are thoughtful and patriotic in council, I can not doubt we shall gain a political tri— ump which will restore our Union, bring back peace and prosperity to our land, and will give us once more the blessings of a wise, economical and honest govern ment.

J. V. SMITH. Chairman Standing Committee. A MISCEGEN BALL. —Governor Bullock, the carpet-bag Governor of Georgia, gave his inaugural ball to his miscegen fri ends, on the 80th ult. The attcndence was large, and Dinah's ivories shone out con spicuously ; the Governor irnde a speech to bis black bretbern and Northern whites and encouraged tbera to vote for Grant jand Colfax. Why Grant hates the Jews. If Grant's hatred of the Jews was a mat ter of speculation once, it is so no longer. The courts of Cincinnati hare furnished the best of evidence in the case, and a wandering public can satisfy its [curiosity by simply reverting to the records. It appears that while the Mongrel candidate for President was in command of the army of the South-west, then stationed at Ox ford Mississippi, one of the greatest cot ton regions in that State, that Jesse 11. Grant, the supposed pater jamtllias of the gentle Ulysses, conceived the idea of tnak- j ing a fortuno as a trader. Accordingly he entered into an agreement with a firm in Cincinnatti —Mack & Bros., Jews—to j secure tor them a certain amount of cotton at certain figures. Old Jesse knew that his promising son, who had rode the mule in the circus and let the monkey ride j him, had command of armies, and could pass his dad, if he so desired, into the re- j pious of "rebels'* and riches without any i trouble and with plenty of backing. So j getting together a parcel of medicines j needed by the Confederates, with several , j car loads of government provisions and a pass furnished by Ulysses, he started on bis cruise for cotton. He succeeded.— When he couldn't steal he bought, pa vino I for what lie puri.h veil with, medicines and stores intended for the use of the Federal army. Government transportation was furnished him and the cotton thus secured was forwarded to the parties in Cincinnat ti. In the meantime the price went up, and Mr. Grant Sr. concluded that the ; firm in Cincinnatti should allow him ad- ( varice in the market price, 'lhis they re fused to do, and in order to compel them to accede to the demands of the " old man, " Mr. Grant Jr., or rather Lieuten ant General Ulysses Hiram Grant, Mon grel candidate lor President, threatened, that unless they divided spoils fairly, that lie would hsue an oidi-r expelling "the ; Jews as a class'" from the lines of his j armv. The Messrs, Mack refused to give more than they had contracted to, and Grant made good his threat by issuing his j infamous order driving the Jews as a class j out of his aimy. Jesse R. Grant entered suit against the Cincinnatti firm, and some two weeks since the case, came up for trial, from the records of which these facts have been gleaned. In this case our readers can see the j character of the Mongrel candidate for President in about as clear a light as pos sible. A General who w uld steal the rations of his own troops and give them to his father, to trade to the foe for cotton to speculate upon, and who would make war upon an entire class of respectable, worthy citizens, because a couple of them i would not allow himself and his father to fleece them, is certainly a fit candidate for a party that has stole the country poor, | and now seeks a longer lease of power, in order that it may have an opportunity to take the little that is left as private prop erty. If the people of this country think ! that this man whose mind centres en-; tirely on bitch pups and whiskey bottles, . and whom the records of our courts prove used his position as commander of armies I to enable his own family io trade and traf fic with the enemy —is tit to fill the p"si- • tion that has been honored by a \Y ash ington, a Jefferson, a Jackson and a Mon roe, let them vote for him. 1 hey dt serve to lie cursed with jurtsueh an administra tion as he will give ttiem, it they have no more honor, no more respect for their country, or no more love tor the right than to vote for a inan who has no more appreciation of honor anil justice than has ULYSSES GRANT.— BeIIi fonte Watchman.
