at Richmond, "the oauso of the South is

And !low comes WADE llnmrrott, the

a speech to the Demooratic-ribel associa

Maryland friends that they were espe

assooititions, but, says he, "there are still

but itis in the main correct. • ,

to be inaugurated, and the doctrine of

Mr. BLAIR, in a speech delivered at

The Question of Statesmanship
- We read constantly the assertion that
Mr. Seymour is-a statesman, and that
we need smeh men-at--.the htrd of - the
'government. Now lid us see - what is a
statesman. Webster defines the word to
mean "A man versed in the acts of govern
ernment, espeMally one eminent for po
litical abilities; a politician ;One employ
ed in public affairs." In Aid definition
we find no reference to oratory. It ap
pears that .a matt may be a statesman
_without'being a public speaker. Jeffer_
son - and Franklin and Boger Sherman
were such.
.They were net orators at all.
But their statesmanship was of the very
higheittype. No milder how many, how
strong or how plausible may be the speech_
es delivered by the man, they do not nec
essarily make him a ilatesman.,_.
Under this analysis it is evident' that
Grant, who is no orator, may yet be a
statesman, while Seymour, who is an ora
:tor, is not therefore a statesman, unless
ho has other claimsle the title. "Cap
pears from Webster that, in ,e low sense,
a politician is a statesman ; but if when
Seymour's friend say he is a statesman,
and that we.need such in office, they
merely mean that he is a politician they
are using high-sounding words to deceive
the pnblie,, who have so often !Mown that
they really do not Want a mere politician in
the Presidency. Nor can-it be justly
clabned that .when people nay we want a
statesman for President they merely
mean, in the language of another part of,
this definition, "ono employed im public,
affairs -,'-'-4M:-Grant has -been - tlra - t, aii on
a fitr4reater scale than Seymour. "A
man versed in these arts of Government"

.not nettr_enough r sinee -anon-maybe•-all
_that nnd_yet not be Of much value. The

statesmanship we propose to try • both
Grunt and Seymour. ,
Whore shall we find the evidences of
Seym . our's eminent political abilities?

then Seymour was a statesman, for he
opPoslad it as far as he possibly_ could. •
The more vigorous the prosecution the
more his opposition grew. There was
no forth the war could take that he did
snot contend against. He seemed con
stantly to iiaatigine, or to pretend to do so,
that war could be waged Without expense
or loss, of' life. In the midst of a gigan
tic struggle, when we needed the. aid of
all northern men, he was never weary of
complaining of the conduct of the con
test and of Weakening the confidence of
the people in their government and gen
erals. Was this statesmanship ? -Was, this

Lincoln was not a true statesman or Ho
ratio Seymour was not,,for on this ques
tion they were' dial - nodal:111v' oppoSed...
On the conscription question he did all
that_ lay in , hi ,- power: to enrage the' peo

which would be to involve every locality
in hopeless bankruptcy for hounties,while

Servi'eer an rendeit'ed it mercenary.- All
great Military Powi'rs in time of war are,
compelled to depend on conscription. All
ether systems are failures. His other
'antagonisms were oppositiol6.to the ar
rest of spiesAlOckade runners, conspira
tors, traitors and fomenters of mischief,
oPpositien, to the removal of incompe
tent generals, opposition to the determi
nation of the general government, to
countenance no compromise or surrender.
And this is all of the much vaunted
statesmanship"-of Horatio Seyttioui% This
is the eminent political ability that is to
lead the great republic on- its pathway of
imperial grandeur and glory. II we search
for his measures and policy, we are point
ed to the' pa;ty platformijwith which ho
says he agrees and which he. says he
helped to make;.. yet at the same time
we know that the financial features of that
platform are in direct hostility to his own
printed" opinions. More statesmanship !
As to the eliding of General Grant to '
the title of a statesman, although- little
has been said about them, they are much
better founded than those of Seymour.
The prodf is the manner in which he
gained the confidence of the enemies be
conquered, by hismagnanimops terms and
by his defense of them when Johnson
,vished .to begin, a polioy-of •blood'y ven
geance. That we call statesmanship of
the highest kind. We point to his open
and bold declaration against the y French
invasion of Mekico, while yet no A rperi
can, Statesman of eminence had taken
that advanced position. Wo [Ant to his
reduction of the expenSes of thelWar
'Department five millions of dollars during
his File administration as Secretary, We
point to the astute manner in. which he
thwarted the,e,fforts of Johnson to destroy
the reconstruction system by -using —him
as a tool against Congress.! These are

BrtaltS and Buttons.
The Democratic press say that the .
Presidential contest is between "brains
and buttons," Seymour having the brains
and Grant the buttons, and that brains'
is surd to win. Talking about buttons,
they must have forgotten Blair. The
Cincinnati: Times asks ' a fesv questions
on the' subject, something in thin wise :
Where was "brains" when .."buttons"
was receiving the surrender of' Vieks
bUrg, the Western Rebel - Gibraltar ?
He was tellirig his "dear friends" that
the ...Rebels could not pOssibly be eon-
Aneroid' Whore was "brains" when .
- "buttons" (Meade) was chasing General
,L e e from the deeiSive
,battle . grOund of
Go ttisburg ? He was 'on that very day
telling the country, we. r .could not , afford
to" prosecute' the .. wap any longer,. that
the 'ltebels •would certainlY 'succeed - 1=
Where was "brains" , while "blittous"

:enough more in the 'cradle and with one
foot in the grave to whip us all and des-,
,troy the Republic)_ But Previous to thin,
in 1861, where was :when
"buttons" volunteered as a more' colonel
of a regim . ont to sustain the old flag?
Alas, hafpg , just road the Confederate
Constitutioa, he asked a friend how he,
liked
,the•doonnient, and getting the
reply - that it was an

not'adopt it for the whole country, and.
thus end the'strife forever I Well, read

that "brains" amounts to, every one Who

sneered at the Union armies, and taunting

same Seymour whose teachings led to re=

who has never yet recognized the emanci

of the Republic. During-the Wu-rho-played
the part of Cassandra,—aiways magnifying
Southern' valor, always decrying-the for

and thus always contributing to that result.

been fitly chosen to bo the presiding genius
of the oligarchy reared-on the remnants of
the Repu bite.
"The suavity, and affability, and appa

used as capital to induce Republicans, in

polled to' resign his - post as minister to Aus

letter of SEWARD'S was prompted by the
representations of that hired sneak, Alc-

heard minister "MOIL cv elitoss himaelt as
lacking admiration for the beautiful conduct
of the saintly ANDY Jont.hioN, who had
just completed• his arunken whirl "around

SEWARD deenred this sufficient cause to
insult MOTLEY, and tho latter rather than
bandy words with such a crew, threw up
his commission in disgust.
Since that time the post has-been, vacant.
