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.
I am, gentlemen,Jtruly yours, Ac.,

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
