Gen. Dix on Seymour.
In another column we publish Gen. Dix's
letter to John J. Cisco, Esq , of New York,
in reference to the Presidential nominees,
and the tendencies -f the principle advoca i
ted by the two great political parties whose I
candidates they are.
This letter of Gen. Dix is a terrible in
dictment against Horatio Seymour, as well
as a vulual le contribution to the good cause
more severe because he was in conin and of
New York while Seymour was Governor of
that State, ar.d because he tried to defeat
the Republican party two years ago. The
Democracy have made many efforts to deny
Seyu.our's sympathy with treason in the
dark days of 1SG3, when he aJJ.-e-sel the
New York rioters as his "frien-is ;" but
Gen. Dix is a witness who camot be chal
lenged succe-af ully,and his testimony brands
the D-'m'i.Tj.tie candidate so deeply as to
render all further defence of him iinposaiLlt-,
while it accords to the Republican eandidate
for President, Gen. Grant, an unmeasured
shore of "decision of character, yood sense,
moderation, and disinterested patriotism."
The deep KigniS -3?ice of Gen. Dix's let
ter is the more apparent, when it is reiuem
bered that, on the 14th of August, lM'.tl,
he was chairman of the celebrated Bread -and-Butter
convention which met in Phila
delphia on that day, when lion. James L
Orr, of South Carolina, marched arm in
arm with Gen. Couch, of Massachusetts,
down the main hall of the Wigwam which
Convention was the mist formidable at
tempt ever made to overthrow the Repub
lican party. Had the 4;h of July, 1S6S,
Democratic Coiveution pursued as moder
ate a course as did the 4th of August, ISM,
Convention in Philadelphia, and affiliated
only with the moderate meu of the country
instead of with the rampant tebel lenders
of the South, it might have made very ser
ious headway against the friends of Grant
and Colfax. But the rebel element, which
was permitted to dictate its platform, has
teen the death of the Democratic parry, and
will defeat Seymour and Blair.
But, we are satisfied with the action of
the Democratic Convention, in that it has
revealed the true position and sentiment of
the party on the great National question of
Reconstruction and in regard to the Bonds
of the Government. Ail the truly patriotic

A Victory at Last.
The dispirited and discomfited Feyniour
ites Lave been busily engaged, ever since
the Maine election, in figuring up a victory
for thttu.t.ives in that State, but they have
failed in their effort so far. However, ev
ery dog has hi day," and the Democracy
have at last been blest wi-h a genuine vie
toryin the State of New 1 oik, which
announced Ly telegraph as follows :
" vote for Presid lit was taken in the
Auhuin, New Vork.l'eniten iary, last vM;ek,
tvhih resulted thus : Seymour C38 ; Grant
S; Seymour's majority to6."
"Glorious" victory! The '-Radicals" beat
en badly! Bring out the Rwster and let
him flap his wings as of yore ! Shout all
ye Democrats and he exceeding glad, for
the Reconstruction laws of the '"Radical
Rump Congress" have been pronounced
'unconstitutional, revolutionary, ar.d void."

The Iaeue Made by Democrats.
"Still harping on that same old story,"
objects a Democrat whenever a Radical re
fers to rebelisni. Well, sir.who raised that
issue? We settled it, as we hoped and
thought. Who opened it again, and com
pelled loyal people to remember that bince
lStX) the Democratic party has been the par
ty of traitors?
The Republican party, when the war clos
ed, found itself in power. It became the
duty of that party to restore the Union. and.
after much opposition from Democrats, it has
brought back the rebellious States to their
relations with the Union. Every Democrat
voted against their restoration, 'out still they
ae now represented in Consri ess. And now,
what do Democrats propose? T turn them
out aaiti ! To destroy the loyal Govern
ments. To unsettle everything that has
been settled. To overturn laws by force and
bring back to power the same rebels who
tried to destroy the Union in 1 SCO. Is it
any wonder, when Democrats force that, is
sue upon os. that we do not forget it? If
you do not like to have it discussed, Messrs.
Democrats, why did you raise it? We should
have been willing to pass over the war and
its memories. We should have been willing
to discuss finances, internal improvements,
or tariffs. But you force us to ask the peo
ple whether traitors shall rule or not.
To Eepublicans.
The fo'lowing circular, issued by II. B
Swooie, Esq., to the Republicans of Clear
field county, explains itself. Let all read it:
n. . . i c .
Deau Sta: Inviewof the decision of the
Sui ttiue Cuurt, that the Registry Law is
unconstitutional, the Democrats are prepa
ring to use, more extensively than ever,
forged and fraudulent naturalization papers.
They will not, perhaps, be used in large
quantities at a single poll, as they were last
year, but they will be more widely dissemi
nated and more thoroughly distributed.
It is most important, there fore.that every
Republican member of an Election board
should keep a list of the papers voted on,
the name of 'the person, the date of the pa
rer, and the Court from which it is issued.
In Districts where the Eleettou board is
entirely Democratic, let some active Repub
lican stand at the polls and keep the list.
Immediately after the election send the lists
to me, and I will have them compared with
the llscords, and iu every instance where
the puper is a iorgery, I will cause the per
son using it to be arrested aid punished.
Let this duty be faithfully discharged,
and a stop will be put to fraudulent voting.

The New Arithmetic.
The Democratic leaders, it seems, have
lately invented a new arithmetic, by which
they can so manipulate and contort figures
as to show a fain for their party, in the re
sult of an election, at their will. The mo
das oeruitili is as follows ;
"Twice one is five,
Carry tour makes seven ;
Tiee six is twenty nine.
And eighteen's eleven;
And between you and me,
It is very plain to see
We can carry all the States
By the double rule of three !"
We see by the la-t Ctr,trii,lil RevuUicnn,
that Mr. Chairman Wallace, has been test
ing it on the late result iu Maine, and it
seems to work to such a nicety, that he has
even succeeded iu figuring out a majority of
4.VJ0'J for his party in Pemisvlvania. this

and every acre of your farm will he taxed.
And the taxes will be laid, not according to

they will be knocking at the Republican
"Tannery" doors by butVdion and In i.yaJex,
until theie will Le scarcely room to accom
modate all the applicants. Some weks
since we proposed to keep a record of the
accessions to our ranks, but they have in
creased so rapidly that we can scarcely keep
on the track of them, and hence a few ex
amples must suffice for this time :
The Richmond county Gazette, N. Y..ed
ited by a Democrat, heretofore neutral in
politics, comes out for Grant and Colfax.
Hon. W. II. Engli-h. former Democratic
Congressman from tho Second District of
Indiana, now heartily supports Giant and
Colfax.
Joseph M. Blake, Esq., the most promi
nent Democratic lawyer in Rhode Inland. has
come out for Grant and Colfax, and is work
ing heartily for their election.
Wm. M. Lent, a prominent Democrat of
California, and at one time the candidate of
that party for the United States Senate.has
come out for Grant and Colfax.
Mr. Maddock, the Democratic candidate
for Cotiirress in Nebraska, at the late elec
tion, is now in Washington city, and actively
engaged in woiking for Grant and Colfax.
The Zanesville Courier says : Chief Jus
tice Chase has written a letter to a friend in
that, city, in which he strongly urges the
claims of Grant and Colfax, and avows him
self strongly in favor of their election.
Mr. Pool, o! Shanetown, 111., a gentleman
of large influence in southern Illinois, has
come out for Grant and Colfax. Mr. Pool
was originally a Clay Whig, but has been
acting with the Democracy since 1S54.
Dr. Townsond P. Abel, editor of Our
Country, the Democratic paper iT Middle
town. Conn., and the organ of the party in
Middlesex county, abandons Seymour and
his party, and supports Grant and Colfax.
Hon. J. M'Leod Murphy, of New York,
whom the Tammany Democrats elected to
the State Senate in 1800, by nearly 5000
majoriry.has declared in favor of Grant and
Colfax.and will give them a hearty support.
The "tide" is still on lhe increase.
II. L. Wait, Esq., of Albany, who was a
Democratic Assemblyman in 1S03, ami w ho
has always been known as the most influen
tial Democrat in his district, has enrolled
himself among the supporters of Grant and
Colfax the friends of a Constitutional
Government and of Peace.

James, a son of G. P. R. James, the well
known novelist, addressed a Grant and Col
fax club, at Eau Claire.WisConsin.the other
iltra Democrat, but he now heartily sup
ports the Republican nominees.
John J. Cisco, Esq., Assistant sub-Treasurer
of New Yoik, last week declared in
favor of Grant and Colfax. Mr. Cisco has
always been known as a prominent Demo
cratic leader, and his support of the Repub
lican nominees will have an important influ
ence on the result in November next.
James T. Brady. E-q.. the distinguished
Irish lawyer of New York, is among the
latest accessions to the Grant and Colfax
ranks. The Sun, of Tuesday, Sept. 22d,
announces authoritatively his withdrawal
from the "Lost cause." The "whelming
tide" will surely "overwhelm" the whole
Copperhead crew, at this rate.
The "Irish Ivplc." of New York, the
leading Dish paper of the country, under
the control of John O'Mahony, of Fenian
fame, last week emphatically declared for
Republicanism as the future hope of the
American Irishmen. lie published his
reasons at length why the Irish people
should support Grant and Colfax.
A Somerset county. New Jersey, hotel
keeper, a promi'ient Democrat, on visiting
Newark lately, stated that upwards of thirty
of his personal Democratic friends had turn
ed their backs on Seymour and Blair, and
had resolved, to vote for Grant and Colfax.
On being asked why he didn't also change
his colors replied, "That's just what I'm
thinking about." Yea, surely, the "tide"
is on the increase, when th y come over to
Grant and Colfax by thirties and fifties and
hundreds.
An Irish Republican Central Campaign
Club has been organized at No. O.'iO Broad
way, New York. Gen. D. V. Bmke was
chosen President, and C'apt. D. F. Ilogan,
Secretary. The club already numbers sev

and will do good service for Giant and Col

ward clubs, Messrs. D. R. Lyddy, James
L. Dease, and M. T. Gibbons, addressed the
club. In the course of his remaiks Mr.
Gibbons, who is a large real estate owner in
the Fourth watd, said he "had acted with
the Democracy lor 5 years, but now. hav
ing become disgusted with the corruption of
the Democrats, and their hike-warm tiess in
the cause of Ireland, has determined to give
a hearty support to Grant and Colfax.
The 7Ve Democrat, of Yineland, N. J.,
has hauled down the Copperhead flag, and
"nailed to the mast" the Republican banner.
This sheet was one of the most iiifl iuntial
Democratic organs in the county, and its
loss to the parly must be felt. It gives the
following reasons for its change :
1. Because we had a mind to do it. 2. Be
cause the party that mis Democratic, that
promised to lighten the taxes that promis-
cJ t! give the country a low tax candidate
allowed an icnoble clioite of traitors ami
bloated capitalists to force theirdisloyal tools
upon te parly. 3. B.-cau-e if the Demo
cratic ticket is elected, the Democratic party
is defeated. 4. Because Grant and Colfax
better fill the bill. 5. Because there is reb
el element enough in the Democratic parry
to control the party, and we desire to have
lilwy in the South at least Ion? enough to
give Nothern fa'hers and mothers time to
remove their dead sons where" they can lie
umnsulted by Democratic bone trinket man
ufacturers. 6. We felt unwilline to furnish
free literature to a party that could not read.
Read the new advertisement.
General Dk's Letter.
Some of the Democratic papers having
publised a stateuieut that Gen. Dix, the
American Minister to Paris, was in favor of
the e'ection of Seymour to the Presidency,
the General deemed it proper to wnte the
following letter to a friend in New York.
It was not written for publication, but the
gentleman to whom it was addressed has
couseuted to give it to the public :
Paris, September 4, 1S6S.
Mv Dear Slit: It wa- my hope that my
distance from home would have saved me
from ail participation iu the political excite-,..r-.r
i.rHiuiliiiir ih.-re. But 1 notice in one
of the newspapers that I am heart hand with
Mr. Seymour. I am not aware of anything
in the present or the past which could right
fully subject me to such an imputation.
l'have been acquainted with Mr. Seymour
more than a quarter of a century. He is an
amiable gentleman, of unexceptionable pri
vate eliaracter. aud respectable talents. But
you knowas well as I that he has not a sin
gle qualification for the suceensful execution
of the litub official trust to which he has
been nominated, aud he is especially !eti
cient in that firmness of purpose which in
criiical emergencies is the only safeguard
against public disorder, and calamity. He
has been twice at different times Govenor of
New York, and he has in neither case had
the talent or the tact to keep the Demo
cratic party of the State together more than
two years. I should retard nis election ai
this juncture, when steadiness of purpose,
decision, and self-control are so much ueeded,
as one of the grentest calamities that could
befall the country Moreover, he has been
put in nomination by a convention which
has openly declared the purpose of those it
represents to pay the greater part of the pub
lic debt, contracted to preserve the Union,
in depieciated paper. Such a measure
would, in my judgment, be a palpable viola
tion of the public faith, pledged under cir
cumstaces which should have been binding
on all honorable men. Mr. Seymour has
made public speeches to show that it is our
duty to pay the debt in specie. In accep
ting his nomination to the Presidency he
adopts the declaration that it ought to I
paid in paper. I know nothing so humili
ating in the histoiy of American politics as
this tergiver.-aiion. It was, perhaps, not
unfit that Mr. Seymour, alter presiding, iu
I St.4, over the Chicago Convention, w hich
declared the war a failiire.shouid preside over
thi convention of 1S0S. in which a protM,
sit'n.n to discredit the debt contracted to car
ry on the war was received with "treii en
dous cheering," and that he should be the
i-l.osi n itistiunient to execute this act of
nation:,! tiirpittice.
I do not believe that the wishes or opin
ionsot lhe great body of the Democratic par
ty are fairly expressed in those proceedings.
They have nothing in common with lhe
staiestiianlike views of policy and lhe high
sense of national honor which guided the
party when Martin Van Buret., William L.
Marcv. Silas Wright, Lewis Cass, and Ste
phen Douglas were among its mo.-t conspic
uotts meuii'ers. I see but one source of
safety for the country under existing circum
stances, and that is the election of General
Grant. On his decision of character, good
sense, moderation, and disinterested patrio
tism. I believe the South will have a tar tet
ter hope, of regniuin the position in the
Union to which it is entitled, than under a
man whose political career has been innoth
ing more conspicuously marked than in an
utter infirmity ot purpose.
Independently of all these considerations.

fallen countrymen were pouring out their

of their homes and the Government, which
Mr. Seymour was doing all in his power to
embarrass and discredit.

of removing the impression, it it exists, that
I am in favor of'Mr. Seymour, or the repudi

The Camilla Outrage. Detailed ac
counts of the massacre at Camilla, Georgia,
on Saturday, Sept. 19th. It seems that at
Americas, while on their way to Camilla,
Messrs. Pierce and Murphy were warned a
way from their hotel and compelled to take
refuge for their lives in the dwelling of a
Union citizen, while the procession of un
nrmeil colored men who had gathered to re
ceive them was driven from the town by
whites, armed with pistols, shot-guns, and
knives. The particulars of the killing at
Camilla show that the butchery was accom
plished by means of an ambuscade and a
cruel cross fire upon the negroes as their
procession was advancing up the road, and
that the slaughter was kept up all night and
into the next d:sy, bloodhounds being used
to hunt the fugitives in the woods. Be
tween ;) and lu l colored men are reported
as having been killed and wounded.
A Fact Worth Noting. When the
Southern traitors Lee, Beauregard and the
other deseriers from the Union armies
were forswearing themselves in order to go
into the rebellion. Ulysses S. Grant, who
was no longer in the Government service,
clearly recognized the obligations which his
est Point education had imposed upon
him. The moment war broke out he said :
"Uncle Sam has educated me for the army.
Though I i lave served him through one war,
I do not feel that I have yet paid the debt.
I am stilt ready to discharge my obligations,
and shall, therefore, Me Uncle Sum through
this war, too !"
"Swear Early," etc Judge English,

his concluding words as follows: "Go, my

How Patriots Should Vote. Gener

because 1 think he is the embodiment of
all those principles, but because I think he
is a gallant and true solJier. and a sincere
friend of his country. J thai I vote against

Surratt bas been re'eased on a technical point
The leniency of the court in permitting him to
plead pretty much as he wanted. Ending one spe

One of the marked fea'tires of the pendingoam

The Syracuse Journal says : -The sleight-of-hand
manipulation of the election returns from
Maine and Vermont, in the New York World, is
at last accounted for. Signor Bii'x has been added
to the World's editorial corps, and the motto of
that paper now is Prrslo ifiaiigr."
Ot courso there was no extra mileage for the
late session oi Congress. ror will there be any for
the session for October and November. The Re

and the Democratic effort to charge it upon the
present Congres.- is as silly as it is transparent.
