A Pathetic Appeal.
The "Democratic Soldiers' and Sailors'
Conyention," which wet as a "side show"
to the rag and tag of Tammany, made a
most touching aud pathetic appeal to the
Democratic party, begging it to "nominate
a candidate for the Presidency of such
known antecedents as will enable us consist
ently with our action during the war, to co
operate cordially with it." To which the
Convention responded by presenting Ilora
Seymour a man of "known antecedents"
certainly, and one whom "Democratic Sol
diers and Sailors" can "consistently" sup
Iort, but they are the "Democratic Sol
diers and Sailors" who fought under the
"stars and bars" in the rebel army and
navy.
These Soldiers ond Sailors "asked for
bread" but received "a stone." Outside of
the rebel lines, no man could have been
found ior a candidate, (unless, perhaps,
He, than this man Horatio Seymour. He
is the very personification of a Copperhead ;
ji skillful political gambler, and a cunning
domogogue, whose whole record is one of
sympathy with rebels in arms, and whose
every public act was to give them assistance
and support. Not a word of encouragement,
hope or cheer to a union soldier ever fell
from his lips. Ho was as frigid es an icicle
to all the defenders of the Union, but his
heart gushed with tenderness ami his eyes
overflowed with tears, for the miscrcatits
who starved atjjl murdered our brave boys
at Andersonviile and Libbcy. Few, very
few, arc the Union Soldiers so destitute of
self jospect and patriotism as to vote for
. Horatio Seymour.
Failure!
The Chicago Convention, over which IIo--ratio
Seymour presided in 180 1, solemnly
resolved that the war was a failure. On
the 4th of July, in the previous year, Hora
tio asserted that we could never whip the
rebels, yet on the same day Grant captured
Yicksburg, and Meade drove the shattered
columns of rebellion back from Gettysburg.
Again, last week, the Convention presided
over by Seymtiur solemnly resolved that Re
construction was a failure, and, before the
ink is dry with which the resolutions were
written, six of the ten rebel States are fully
restored to their relations with the Union.
The only failure the Copperheads will real
ize, will be their failure to elect Seymour
and Clair.
Hon. Jno. A. Griswald.
The Republican State Convention of New
York, nominated Hon. Jno. A. Grisvam
for Governor. He has a proud record. In
!hc early days of the war, when the perils
iere thickest and the prospects gloomiest,
be .furnished funds from his private purse
to build the Monitor that rupulsed the iron
clad Merrimac. His noble offering, at so
opportune a moment in the history of the
rebellion, will notb2 forgotten by the loyal
people of New York. He deserves to be,
asd he will be triumphantly elected.
New Jtrsey.
The Republican Convention rf New Jer
sey unanimously nominated John I. Blair
of Warren county for Governor. He is one
of the most popular men in the State. New
Jersey is fully alive to the great issues in
volved in this contest, and her loyal sons are
resolved to wheel her into line for the Union.
Apologizing. Senator Buckalew, on
Friday in a speech in the Senate, repudiated
F. P. Blair s enunciation of principles, and
apologized for the platform. Hnw mor
tifying to a public man to be placed in such
a position ! Democracy brings with it noth
;nr but humiliation and djsgraee.
Seymour and Blair.
After five days travail in the sweltering
heat of July, amidst the fumes of bad wbis-key,lager-beer
and tobacco, mixed with the
fragrant odors exuding from the pores of the
"great-unwashed," the New York Conven
tion accomplished its work by nominating
Horatio -Seymour, of New Vork, for Presi
dent, and Frank P. BU' jr.of Missouri, for
Vice President-of hc United State.
Thout'h Seymour refused time and again
to be tteir candidate, declaring iu the face
of the convention that he could not accept
the nomination "without peril to himself
and to the party," they forced it upon him
and resolved that willing or unwilling, he
should be delivered up to the slaughter.
Vallaudighau loomed up largely, took the
lead and carried the conveution for Seymour
with a rnsh.
Horatio Seymour was born in Onondaga
county, New York, in 1811, and is therefore
in the 57th year of his age. He is simply
and exclusively a local politician having
never held any national position. His po
litical record, however, has at least the
merit of being plain, and there is no room
for mistake as to his sentiments on national
questions. When the rebellion menaced the
country he declared that the South had
been unjustly provoked. When the traitor
senators and representatives abandoned
their seats iu Congress and went home to
take up arms against their government, he
had the effrontery to declare, in a speech
at Albany, that all true "virtue, patriotism
and intelligence had departed from the na
tional capital." In the same speech he de
nounced the mon who stood by their country
as "imbeciles, madmen and fanatics." When
the threats of rebellion culminated in actu
al war he said : "If it Vc true that slavery
must be abolished to save this Union, then
the peop'cof the South .should he permitted
to withdraw themselves from that Govern
ment which cannot give them the protec
tion guaranteed by its terms." In other
words he proclaimed "let slavery Iks pre
served though the Union be destroyed."
When a candidate for Governor of New
York, he made frequent and elaborate assaults
upon the principles of human liberty, true
Government, and the war wagedagainst tho
frantic efforts of slavery to overthrow the
Union. His first message to the Legislature
after his election, was filled with the same
bitter denunciations of the Government,
sneers at the loyal people of the North, sym
pathy with the rebels at the South, and
opposition to the war. When Leo's army
was invading Pennsylvania, and our noble
field of Gettysburg protecting our hearths
end homes on that ever memorable fourth
of July 1SC3 he made a speech in the Aca
demy of Music in New York, in which he
said "public necessity is a plea which mobs
may urge as well governments, and I warn
the authorities at Washington to take care
how they set the example" a speech that
was immediately followed by those terrible
riots that for a whole week disgraced alike
our country and our humanity. And when
the "mob" h.nl been thus evoked, in the
hope that it would stop the draft, not only
in New York but in all the States, ar.d thus
ertinpel the Government to abandon the war,
it swayed wildly through th. streets burn
ing orphan asylums, murdering women,
children and soldiers, robbing inoffensive
citizens and committing with impunity every
species of debauchery and crime. To this
'tuob,' of cowards and assassins which he
had deliberately ealled into existence, Gov
ernor Seymour made a speech from the
steps of the City Hall, while the ring leader
stood by his side, addressing them as "my
friends" and promising them that the draft
shoull be stopped! But he counted with
out his host. The draft was not stopped,
though its enforcement required 2."0t0 troops
to be withdrawn from the. army at the very
time they were most needed to confront the
enemy in the field. .
In lSlVf he presided over the Democratic
Convention at Chicago, and with Val
landigham, concocted the famous resolution
declaring the war a failure and demanding
the immediate cessation of hostilities. Such
is the record, and such, during the mortal
struggle of the nation for its existence, were
the speeches and sentiments of the individ
ual whom the copperheads and rebels, pro
pose, if possible, to make the next President
of the U. States. His whole career demon
strates that he is acompound of bland plau
sibility, dexterous cunning, smiling selfish
ness, and inconceivably infamous treachery.
The candidate for Vice President, Frank
P. Blair, jr., is a renegade Republican, who
left our party for the party's good, because
the Baltimore Convention repudiated "the
family," and demanded the removal of
Montgomery Blair from the position of
Tostmastor Genetal. He has been all things
by turns and nothing long. He was born
at Lexington, Kentucky, in 1S21. He com
menced his political career as a member of
the Free Labor or Emancipation party of
-Missouri. In 1S43 he was a Free Soiler and
supported Van Buren. In 1S52 he was elect
ed to the Missouri Legislature as an Aboli
tionist, and in 156 was returned to Con
gress. In 166 he wasappointed by Andrew
r Johnson collector of customs at St. Louis,
an ! cn.y Inst year, was defeated in his own
tistiict for Congress.
His bid lor the nomination was a letter
gf;c 'gUffematt's goitrnaf, gfcttrftefb,
addrcfi-ed to J. O. Broadhead, in which he
takes ground in favor of overturning the
pew S tate governments in the South by
it rcc, and then reconstructing Congress in
the saa;e manner. So much did this delight
the relels, that he was nominated by the
icbe'. Gen. Preston, of Kentucky, second
ed by Wade Hampton, and Forest the dele
gate from Fort Pillow. On their demand
of course, he was immediately nominated.
Such is the ticket brought forth by the
New York Convention after a week of labor.
It 1 as fallen like a wet blanket on their own
j arty it has been received with delight by
ours -and it will be trampled under foot with
contempt in November by the loyal people
all over the land.
Their Platform.
The platform of the New York Conven
tion, with the exception of the financial
planks, is a tissue of fustian and glittering
generalities, meaning nothing. Its pream
ble, awkwardly enough confesses judgment
on the issues of the war, saying that "the
questions of slavery and secession have been
settled for all time to come by the war."
They have been settled it is true, but no
thanks to Democracy. What a humiliating
confession this must have been tor the same
men who in 1 SGI solemnly resolved that the
war was a failure, and recommended an im
mediate cessation of hostilities ! Yes, the
questions of secession and slavery have been
settled for all time to come, and with them
the fate of the party that upheld, advoca
ted and fought for them. They can only
remain settled by the Democratic party re
maining out of power.
The platform denounces military rule, at
the very time the department commanders
are turning over their authority to the Gov
ernors aud Legislatures chosen by the peo
ple, and announcing their power at an end.
It calls for the suspension of the Freedmen's
Bureau at the very time when Congress is
providing for closing the Bureau in each
State as soon as its governmental machinery
is fairly iu motion. It demands the restora
tion of the State Governments, at the very
time when the States are resuming their re
lations with the Union, and six of the ten,
have been received and restored. It simp
ly beats the air, revels in the dead past,and
is afraid to grapple with the stem realities
of the living present.
The single thing of importance, that
stands out in bold relief, amidst this mass
of verbiage and demagoguery, is the finan
cial policy, which, if adopted, would be na
tional'disgracc and lasting dishonor. Three
of the national obligations either by the
taxing of bonds which the Government
pledged its faith should not be taxed, or
their payment in currency when the Gov
ernment covenanted to pay them in coin.
The stupidity and knavery of such a policy,
is so plain and so repulsive to tho American
people, that their party organs are already
endeavoring to explain it away, or labori
ously writing to defend it in advance. It is
downright scoundrelism a bold proposition
to swindle the creditors of the Government
and piliory the nation in the gaze of an
astonished ami indignant world. It is vir
tually proclaiming to the amazed peoples
that we are a confederacy of rascals that
on our own terms wc have borrowed twenty
five hundred millions of dollars, by pledging
tiie public faith that the bond tLould not be
taxed aul that they should be paid in coin,
ami that having used the money, wc delib
erately repudiate the debts, and laugh to
scorn those who reposed confidence in the
national pledge ! Sush a proposition could
have emanated from no other source than a
party which has become familliar with trea
son, whose chief argument is assassination,
and the mass of whose adherents arc habit
ues of tho slums of vicc,crime and iniquity.
Who are these creditors of the Govern
ment that are to be thus swindled? Not
Copperheads it is true. They were very
careful not to assist the Government with
any of their money. They followed the ex
ample of James Buchanan, among whose
assetts Virginia and Tennessee bonds were
found, but not a ten-forty or a five-twenty.
These creditors are the hard working.frugal,
honest people of moderate means, all over
the land, who, with aith in their Govern
ment and reliance on its financial honor, in
vested their hard earnings in its securities.
Horatio Seymour himself recently said "2,
0(10,000 persons are interested in Govern
ment bonds who are not capitalists,and who
arc compulsory owners at present prices un
der the operation of our laws." . Let these
2,500,000 people who are not capitalists be
on their guard against this barefaced and
deliberate proposition to rob them of their
houest earnings. It is the frugal, the indus
trious, and the provident who are to suffer
by the repudiation of national obligations
and the violation of national faith. But,
thank God ! this gigantic fraud can never
be consummated. It is too'transparent, too
iniquitous, too unmittigatedly vile to obtain
adherents even among respectable rebels.
The wretched platform which contains it,
will be repudiated with loathing and scorn
by the American people, and the faith.hon
or and credit of the nation will be amply
vindicated by . the triumphant election of
Grant and Colfax.

Doomed. History which pilloried Bene
diot Arnold, has erected a still higher gal
lows for Horatio Seymour, the mean sneak
who, in the darkest hour of his Country's
peril, gave aid and comfort to her enemies,
and recommended submission and surrender
to traitors in arms. His ignominious and
overwhelming defeat is as fixed and settled
the decrees of fate.
Sensible Conclusion. The New York
nevoid says: "The Democratic party has
decided that the next President shall be
Grant. Spymour against Grant amounts to
a Democratic surrender or a disbanding of
the Democratic party."
Expeessive. The New York Herald
said of Seymour in 1SG3. "He can talk
more without saying anything, and write
more without meaning anything, than any
other man we know."
Tktte. Seymour says if there had been
no war there would be no public debt. He
might have added, if there had been no
Copperheads and Rebels there would have
been no war.
Showing Their True Colors. .
,:Gen. Grant, in the campaign against
Itfe.had 222,000 men ; Lee had but 70,000"
Grant lost from the llapidan to the James,
117.000 inon: Lee lost 19,000: That is,
Grant lost six to Lee one, and 47.000 more
than lco'a whole army. Grant constantly
received reinforcements ; Lee received none.
Thus.Grant bv swonoinir off six of his nien
tor one of Lee's, at last exhausted Lee's
This accounts for Grant's objections to an
cxoliane of prisoners, since one rebel sol
dier under Lee, was equal to six Union sol
diers under Grant. .No policy, Grant is
certainly a great General.
Tho above extract is copied from the
Doylstown (Pa ) Democrat, a paper owned
and controlled by Col. W. II. H. Davis, who
commanded a Pennsylvania Regiment dur
ing the war and not a Rebel one, as would
naturally be supposed on reading above the
extract. Itshowstheant'niiuof the Copper
head party, and how thoroughly assimilated
they are iu feeling with the Rebels down
South.
It is clear that in the Presidential cam
paign now commencing we are to have the
old riiht over again, and that the principles
of the two parties will be just as distinctive
and marked as they were in the great war of
the Rebellion. Gen. Grant on the one side
heads the Union forces as he did four years
ago. The other side, is as essentially Lee's
army.and fighting for Jeff. DaviT lost cause,
as was the military army four years ago un
der the leadership of these Rebel Chiefs.
The lines are thus distinctly drawn and
there can be no neutrals in the contest It
is Gen. Grant's army of loyal blue and the
&tar8 anil Stripes' on tho one hand and
Gen. Lee's army of rebel gray and the
"Stars and Bars" on the other. Voters
everywhere must choose between them.
The Copperhead leaders and papers are
making this broad distinction more and more
apprrcnt every day. They exhibit all the
bitterness, and venom, and hate of Union
men that was manifested during the war by
the Rebels. They are, in truth, indiscreet
ly outspoken, atjd even go so far as to assert
that the Rebels in the late struggle were the
true patriots, and the men who fought for
the Union, were the real traitors ! They
condemn every measure that was adopted
by our government during the war to save
the Republic.and apologue for and applaud
every measure even to ;he wholesale mas
sacre and starving of Union men adopted
by the Rebels to destroy it In the extract
above quoted, as will be seen, the old Rebel
boast that one Southern man is equal to six
Yankees, is boldly endorsed and endorsed
too by a professed Union Colonel of the
Copperhead persuasion ! Who doubts, but
that if the same war was to be fought over,
he at least would be on the Rebel side. As
it is being fought over politically, we may
cease to be surprised at his attack on Grant
and eulogy of Lee. It is his purpose thit
time to fight as he votes.
As the campaign progresses and the real
sentiments of the Copperhead party are
more clearly exposed. Union men of all par
ties will feel themselves bound to volunteer
once more to put down this new Rebellion.
We have no fear of thf result Grant is
certain to be victorious, and his victory will
be the final political Appomattox. After
that we shall have Peace.
Coldx't be Helped. "Why is it,"
asked a Republican of his Democratic friend
"that you have none but rebels in your na
tional Convention from the south ?" "Weil,
confidentially, and not to be printed, the
reason is that all the Union men of tho
South are Republicans, and all the rebels
Democrats, and wc could do no better."

Coffee. The Telegraph of J uly 1st says :
"Coffee is a berry used in the manufacture
of a delightful beverage and fraudulent nat
uralization papers. As a drink it is pleas
ant, hearty and stimulating to the human
system. As an ingredient in coloring papers,
it is noxious, poisonous and deadly in its et
fects on the body politic. Its use as a bev
erage is world-wide, and for centuries Jews,
Gentiles and Christians have sipped their
fragrant coffee. Its application to the arts
and sciences as a coloring matter W33 re
cently discovered in Philipsburg by some
down-trodden exiles from Erin. From its
success in changing the political complexion
of Pennsylvania last fall, it is expected that
the use of coffee will be adopted by the De
mocratic State committees throughout the
Union this fall, who will be furnished with
full directions for its preparation by Mr.
Chairman Wallace."
Don't Like Frse Schools. Connecti

garded as a "Black Republican institution,'

incorporating a State Inebriate Asylum.
Good! "Tho eternal fitness of things" is
observed. Schools go down with the Re
publican party ; with Democratic victories
comes especial care for the drunkard.
