I g.-ntii tin ri, are true of and concerning the
candider.-s who liai e been t atned by the
' New York h tinventioti for ilie support of
tit-' American p. oph*.
J- Are they to be elected? Why not :
! Is it not high:time that there should be a

in convincing us t" that in any resecpt

Why, gentleineti, the hot and premature
charges of the Ri pldicati newspapers
against Governor .S.yim ur, have prettv
much di. d out. I believe so effectu i! have
be. n' the mistier? tl at have been given t >

| When our State was in peril in the iate ,

*• To Sneak Ids Thoughts is Every Freeman's Rigl-t. "
to our protection, to assist us, arid, in part,
bv his energetic and patriotic conduct and i
efforts the rebel invasion of Pennsylvania |
was thrown back, and other towns of our
State were not subjected to tiie fate ot
! ('liambersburg; our people were not op
pressed; our towns were not consumed;
our hoarders w ere not made desolate. \V e
owe a debt ..f gratitude to Governor Sey
mour for tlie prompt, unselfish assistance
render: d by him to our State at that time,
'•Rut there was a riot over at New 3 ork !"
There was a disturbance in that, city just
afterwards. The State of New York was
nearly stripped of troops sent to our de
fense and put under tiie command of the;
Federal authorities, and in enforcing the
draft in tlie city cf New York a riot broke
out. What of it ? Do you not remember
the cause of that riot; that it was produced
bv injustice ? Tiie enumeration of persons
subject to draft in tlie city of New York
was a dishonest one; made by political men
i Dre was an overestimate of the city, and
coitsij. uenily there was a general convic
tion among the people that the d. aft was
unfair, unjust and iniquitous. '1 his was
the principal cans'* of the difficulty there.
The Governor of the Slate had nothing to
do with the enumeration or tlie draft, for
e siseiiption was under Federal authority.
A ii>l began. What was done? The;
Governor, leaving the quiet of his home, i
eaine down to the city ot New M ork to as
sist in alhvi'.g tlie distuihance,and lie -uc
eeedi'.l. 1 happened to be Hi New 1 oik at i
the • t .lO, at .1 saw Governor Seymour at ;
the Aster House, in a room oecupi d by !
fiim in couiin.>n with Senator Morgan (a
R publican Senator ftotn New Y -.rk) au i
M vor < >pd\ke (the Republican Mavor ot" j
N w Yoik city). Senator Morgan then
complitn'-ntcd Governor Seymour in th
hiahe.t D rtns t<< me and to others (and .
dotiotle.-s he would now) fur tlie energy, !
promptness atnl ability with which he met
that em. rgenev.
We!!, g.'iitl men, there was o:n" use of
troops to repress the riot—not Fedetal j
troops. Tin V were call-d over from Sta
fett l iatul, I believe, and were State ttoops
organized under authority of (iavvnior
S'-vtimur himself. Tlio rict was repressed
withoip. Federal aid.
Among other tilings, however, whi Ii the
' Governor did was to address a popular a—
s iubi.tge in the tlio c.'.y, in which were
i ieii who iia l cither be.-u concetned in the
ri.)*, T had sympathized with it. In ad
dressing that crowd, i s'ead of abusing i
tbni. what did lie do? He addressed theiu
as •*;n:-t.(ls." Inst ad oi abu-tiig them, an i

Ido not know anything else that has >
li. en suggested about Gov- rnor Seym our |
that requires anv notice at mj bands. The !
truth regarding him is: There is no man
| in the American Union better qualified by '
his life time training, and by natural abiii— j
ties, for the office of l'nsident of tin* j
United States than he; nor is there any ac- ■
c-ptal-Ie representative of o*ur citizen-sol- !
duty of the late war. who mote complete- ;
!v fills tin* requirements of the times, than
General Flunk Blair. No one questions
Irs patriotism: no one questions his c.ur- '
age. * ** In all respects upon pending is-j
sues, (i. tn rat Blair i-in perfect accord and I
sympathy with every patriotic and Union
I ving man in till sections of our country,
lie i-a representative ot the volunteers ol
the war, of that large class of our people
who went out to the fi Id ot conii ct when
the necesilies of the times demanded t!,
did their ditty, and when tlie war was over
laid their amis and resumed the pursuits |
of civil life. Governor Seym-mr rep re-I
sents the statesmen of tlie country. Gen.!
lilatr represents the citizen-soldi, ry of the !
oouiitrv. They are both fit and ai'miiable
iin n, and worthy of that triumphant elec— \
which awaits them at the hands of the i
American jieoplc.
ANUEHSONVILLE —We clip the follow
ing from tlie Resiling o'<tJte!le and Jjtmo
ernt :
"The Radicals in Congress . recently
passed a hill pardoning three■ of the <j,e,ird\
of the Ai'di T.iitneille prison, 'I In-se pat ri
ot ic. fellows, whose bullets used to whist!*
along tlie dead lu,e, have turned Radicals,
and fallowing the lead of Joe Brown, the
founder of tiie prison, will vote for Grant.
Tl.is accounts for the sudden tenderness of
Congress towards these "fiends in human
shape" that once shot down our brave ft-1-
iows when they reached across the dead
line for a drop of water. 'Rail for Grant
and Andcrsonville ? "
The General Militia Law of Penn
sylvania requires ali able bodied m-n un
der d"> years of age to pay one dollar an
nually in lien of service except in time
of war or invasion the fines to form a
brigade fund, and caoli man who drills in
a volunteer company is to receive twelve
dollars e ve;r
XLf In 1804. General Grant wrote in '
relation to his proposed nomination for
the Presidency: '"I would regret such
a consummation as being highly unfortu
nate to tuvselfand my c mntry." In 18*58
the country agrees with, the General in
. byih particulars. i

A IIIM FOR BOYS.— The cashier of one
of our leading hanks resigned some time
since, and ihr paving-tel er was tmmedi
attilv elected to lid hi- place. He was a
quiet young man, an I was promoted ov-*i
the heeds of tlio.se who had In i u iu the
! bank niativ vears in stibordinate jv-siiions.
Lite secret of tin: promotion is well worth
! knowing. The new cashier lived some
milt s out of the city. He entered the
! bank when quite young, lie resolved to
make himself uselul. Living fartherest
' away, be was tiie first at his post in the
! niotning. Having the faith rest to go, he
was tlie last to leave. He was never
afraid of work, never Insilated to lend a
hand when his own duties were done.—
Others would go out to restaurants and
hot els for their lunch. He brought his
with him, at d ate it in a little cfi s.t. —
For his own pleasure he never left the
bank during business hours. It any of the
clerks wanted to go away he w.is always
ready to take their place. Ileeou! 1 always
lie found, and was prompt at any call.
His spun: time was devoted to an intelli
gent comprehension of his biisiro ss. As
paying-teller he was verv popular. He
, was never snappish or ungentleinanly.
Growling, grumbling unreasonable cus
tomers would not irritate him. He ova r
stuved hi* time to accommodate men vvho
were belated willi their cheeks. A- casii

pronip* otli 'er that lie was in subordinate
lilt*. .Men disappointed i i tiieir discounts
take a refusal from the cashier with abet

from some men. He stul keeps up his
