After waiting a month, Horatio Sey mour finally concluded to write a letter accepting the nomination which he de clared his honor compelled him to refuse. The letter is long, and of course a tissue of sophistry put together with all the ingenuity characteristic of the author. No one is a greater master of the style which insinuates a calumny and makes a half truth do the work of a direct falsehood. In the letter before us he has ventured farther than usual with one whose temper ament is so cautious. When he states that the “minds of business men are perplexed with uncer tainties,'’ he asserts a truth, but it is be cause the party of which he is the standard bearer occupies a position which threatens the credit of the country. The rise in gold immediately* begun on the promulga tion of the democratic platform, and the violent speeches of Mr. Seymours rebel friends in the South, with their ‘threats of a new rebellion, arc certainly not condu cive to the tranquility of the mercantile mind. When Mr. Seymour, leaving inu- Cndo, ventures upon a direct charge, he transgresses the limits of truth. Referring to Congress, he charges that it has given no “clear statement of what has been done with the money drtlvvh from them (the people) during the past eight years.” This, in the light of the statements of Mr. Blaine and Mr. Welles, published all over. the country, is an exhibition of wanton parti sanship—not to use a harsher .term — which we had not expected even from Mr. Seymour. When he says that “the Con gressional party has not only allied itself with military power, which i§ to be brought to bear directly upon the elections, in many States, but it also holds itself in perpetual session, with the avowed purpose of making such laws as it shall see fit, in view of the elections which will take place in a few weeks,” he pretends to ignore the fact that under Gen. Grant’s orders, military government has been abandoned in every one of the recon structed States, and that those States which still remain under the control of the district commanders are to take no part in the Presidential election. Should Mr. Seymour’s rebel friends of Hie South imitate the conduct of bis New York friends, as indeed they threaten, and excite disturbance, they may perhaps need the intervention of the military; but the soldiers Xiil be Used in no other manner than they were in the State of New York while Mr, SffvSfoC|tfiHed the gubernatorial chair. The p.atnpjifting tone tvhich the candi date assumes toward the conservative republicans Is amusing. He welcomes them to the ranks of the democracy, and affects to believe that they must now abandon the party with which they have hitherto acted. It would lie more satisfactory to know who these conservative republicans are. Since the nomination of Grant, radical and conservative members of the republican party have been alike unanimous in his support. An appeal to “conservative men" to join a party which pledges itself to bring about a revolution, savors of the ludicrous. Hod the New York convention adopted another platform, and. in accord ance .with Mr. Seymour's advice, uorni nated the Chief Justice, an appeal to con servative men would have come with better grace. The sneer—Mr. Seymour has a genius for sneering -at the Southern rep resentatives who “can not live in the States they claim to represent,” is nn acknowledg ment that to love the Union is a crime with the Southern wing of the party of which Mr. Seymour is the candidate. The attempt to soften and explain away the effect of General Blair's letter has been made too late. The writer of that fiery manifesto is the real head of the party, and, were tlte ticket elected, would lie the controlling spirit of the administration. Ilia utterances have already given the watchword of the campaign, and have been reSchoed from every democratic stump and by every party organ in the South. Even the journals which, as the World, before the New York Convention, advised a conservative course, and elaborately argued that the reconstruction policy of Congress could not be overthrown, but must be supported even by a democratic administration, have given in their adhe sion to the scheme of revolution, and are as violent in defence of it as Brick Pomeroy himself. Mr. Seymour’s Wand phraseS and promises that a democratic victory would not bring about any violent changes will not suffice to allay the storm which lias been raised. The concluding reference to the soldiers is in the happiest vein of cynical impu dence. To claim the indorsement of a body of men who were snublied by the Tam many convention and their chosen candi date ruthlessly slaughtered by an ingenious political trick, is worthy of Mr. Seymour's great powers of dissimulation, yet we shall be considerably surprised (almost as much so as the candidate himself) should it gain him more than the merest handful of the soldiers’ ballots. SEYMOUR’S LETT E R <> F ACCEPTANCE. Utica, August 4, 1868. Gentlemen—When in the city of New York on the 11th of July, in the presence of a vast multitude, on behalf of the National Democratic Convention, you tendered to me its unanimous nomination as their candidate for the office of President of the United States, 1 stated I had no words “adequate to express my gratitude for the good wilt and kindness which that body had shown to me. Its nomination was unsought and unex pected. It was my ambition to take an active part, from which I am now excluded, in the great struggle going on fbr the restoration of good government, of peace and prosperity to our country. But I have been caught up by the whelming tide which if bearing us on to a great political change, and I find myself unable to resist its pressure. Yon have also given me a copy of the resolutions put forth by the Conven tion, showing its position upon all the great questions which now agitate tho country. As the presiding officer of that Convention, I am familiar with their scope nnd import ; as one of its members, 1 am a party to their terms. They are in accord with my views, and I stand upon them iu the contest upon which wc are now entering, and I shall strive to carry them out in future, wherever I may be placed, in political or private life.” I then stated that I would send you these words of acceptance in a letter, as is the customary form. I see no reason, upon reflection, to change or qualify the terms of my approval of the resolutions of the Con vention. 1 have delayed the mere formal act of communicating in writing what I thus publicly said, for the purpose of seeing what light the action of Congress would throw upon the interests of the country. Its acts, since the adjournment of the Convention, show an alarm lest a change of political power will give to the people what they ought to have—a clear statement of what has been done with the money drawn from them during the past eight years. Thought ful men feel that there have been wrongs in the tinaneial management which have been kept from the public knowledge. The Con gressional party has npt only allied itself with military power, which is to be brought to bear directly upon tlffi elections in many States, but it also holds itself in perpetual session, with the avowed purpose of making such laws as it shall see nt, in view of the elections which will take place within a few weeks. It did not, therefore, adjourn, hut took a recess, to meet again if its partisan interests shall demand its reassembling. 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 organized by its agents are proposing to deprive the people of the right vote for Presidential electors, and the first bold steps are taken to destroy the rights of suffrage. It is not strange, therefore, that thoughtful men see in such action the proof that there’s with those who shape the policy of the Republican party, motives stronger and deeper than tho more wish to hold political power; that there is a dread of some exposure which drives them on to acts so desperate and impolitic. Many of the ablest leaders and journals of the Republican party have openly deplored the violence of Congressional action and its tendency to keep up discord in our country. The great interests of out Union demand peace, order, and a return to those industrial pursuits without-which we cannot maintain the faith or honor of our Government. The minds of business men are perplexed by uncertainties. The hours of toil of our laborers are lengthened by the costs of living made by the direct and indirect exactions of Our people are harassed by the heavy and' frequent demands of the tax gatherer. Without distinction of party there is a strong feeling in favor of that line of action which shall restore order and confidence, and shall lift off the burdens which now hinder and vex the industry of the country. Yet, at this moment, those in power have thrown into the Senate Chamber and Congressional Hall new elementa-ef discord and violence. Mun have been admitted as Representa tives of some’of the Southern' States with the declaralmn upon their lips that they can not live in the States they claim so 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 lhe actions of those bodies. Entering them with minds filled with passions, their first demands have been that Congress shall look upon the States from which they come as in conditions of civil war; that the ma jority of their populations, embracing their intelligence, shall be treated as public ene mies ; that military forces shall be kept up nt the cost of the people of’the North, and that there shall be no peace and order at the South, save that which is made by arbitrary power. Every intelligent uiau knows that these men owe their seats in Congress to the dis order in the South ; every man knows that they not only owe their present position to disorder, but that every motive springing from the love of power, of gain, of a desire for vengeance, prompts them to keep the South in anarchy. While that exists they are independent of the wills or wishes ot their felfow-eilizcns. -While confusion reigns they are the dispensers of the profits and the honors which grow out of a government of mere force. These men arc now placed iu positions where they can not urge their views of policy, but where they can enforce them. When others shall bo admitted in this manner from the remaining Southern States, although will have, in truth, no constituents, they will have more power in the Senate Ilian a majority of the people of the Union living in nine of the great Staton. In vain the wisest members of the- Republi can party protested against the policy that led to this result. While the chiefs of the late rebellion have submitted to the results of lhe war, and are now quietly engaged iu useful pursuits for the support of themselves and their families, and are trying by the force of their example to lead back’the people of the Soutli to the order and industry, not only essential to their well being', but to the greatness and prosperity of our com- mon country, we see that those who, with out ability or influence, have been thrown by the agitations civil convulsion into positions of honor and profit, ore striving to keep alive the passions 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 fraternal regard and a common desire to promote the peace, the order, and the happiness 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 victory by those who are seeking to bring back economy, simplicity, and justice in the administration 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 tfic action of their political friends has been mistaken, their motives have been good. They must now rec that the Republi can party is in that condition that it can not carry out a wise and peaceful policy, whatever its motives may be. It is a misfortune, not only to the country, but 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 most unwise and violent of its members. When this state of things exists in any party, it has ever been found that the sober judgment of its ablest leaders do not control. There is hardly an able man who helped to build up the Republican organization, who has not, within the past three years, warned it against its excesses; who has not been borne down and forced to give up his con victions of what the interests of the country called for; or, if too patriotic to do this, has not been driven from its ranks. If this has 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 career with calls for arms, with demands that their States shall be regarded in a condition of civil war, and with a declaration that they arc ready and anxious to degrade the President of the Uniteci States, whenever they can persuade or force Congress to bring forward new articles of impeachment? The Republican party, as well as wo are, are interested in 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 aefion and to assure the peace and good order of society. The election of a Demo cratic Executive and a majority of Demo cratic members to the House of Representa tive s would not give to that party organization the power to make sudden or violent changes, but it wculd serve to check those extreme measures which have been deplored by the best men of both political organizations. The result would most certainly lead to that peaceful restoration of the Union and reestablishment of fraternal relationship which the country desires. lam sure that the best men of the Republican party deplore as deeply as I do the spirit of violence shown by those recently admitted lo seats in Congress from the South. The condition of civil war which they contemplate must be abhorrent to every right-thinking man. I have no mere personal wishes which mislead iny judgment in regard to the pending election. No man who has weighed and measured the duties of the office of President o.f the United States can fail to ba impressed with the cares and toils of him who is to meet its demands. It is not merely to float with popular currents without a policy or a purpose. On the contrary, while our Constitution gives just weight to the puublic will, its distinguish ing feature is that it seeks to protect the rights of minorities. Its greatest glory is that it puts restraints upon power. It gives force and form to those maxims and principles of civil liberty for which lhe martyrs of freedom have struggled through ages. It declares the right of the people— “To be secure in their persons, houses and papers against unreasonable searches and seizures. That Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press, or the right of the people to petition for the 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 be ready to uphold the free exercise of religion. He must de nounce measures which would wrong personal or home rights, or the religious conscience of the humblest ciiizen of the laud. He must maintain, without distinction of creed or nationality, all ihe privileges of American citizenship. The experience iff every public man who has been faithful to his trust teaches him that no one can do the duties of the office of President, unless he is ready, not only to undergo' the falsehoods and abuse of the bail, but- to suffer from the censure of the -good, who are .paisled by prejudices and misrepresentations. There are no jjttrac tiens in such which deceive my judgment, when I say that a great change is going on in the public mind. The mass <>f the Republican pony are more thought ful, temperate and jh.«t tbffih they were during 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 ro their candidates, T may, with propriety, speak of the facDOhat never in the political history 'of our country has the action of atty like body been hailed with such universal and widespread enthusiasm as that which has been shown in relation to the National Democratic Convention. With this, the candidates had nothing ,to do. Had any others of those names been selected, this spirit would have been selected, this spirit would have been perhaps more marked. The zeal and energy of the conservative masses spring from a desire to make a change of political policy, and from the confidences that they can carry out their purpose. In this faith they are etreugllicned by the corporation of the great body of those who served in the Union army during the war. Having given nearly 16,000 commissions to the officers of that army, I know their views and wishes. They demand the Union for which they fought. The largest meeting of these gallant soldiers which ever assembled was held in New York, and endorsed the action of the National Convention. In words instinct with meaning, they called upon the Government to stop in its policy pf hate, discord and disunion, aud in terms of fervid eloquence they demanded the restoration of the rights ami liberties of the American people. When there is such accord between those who proved themselves brave and self-sacri-. fiejng in war, and those who are thoughtful aml'patrivtic iu council, 1 can not doubt we shall gain a political triumph which will restore our Union, bring back peace and prosperity to our land, and will give once inSre the blessings of a and honest government. 1 am, gentlemen, truly yours, etc., Horatio Bbymour.

COLFXT AND THE GERMANS. When Mr. Colfax was enthusiastically welcomed home by the Germans of South Bend, he very appropriately rebuked and put to silence a calumny which had repre sented him as hostile to our foreign born citizens. “These assembled thousands,” said Mr* Colfax, “are a fit answer to every falsehood and calumny that has been said against me. I was struck by the fact, when coming from your depot this very day, that the hundred and forty Germans of the German Grant and Colfax Club set the seal of their condemna tion and their denunciation upon not only the calumny, but the forgery, to which 1 have been subjected here. You know it is a false hood ; you know that never in my public life, from the commencement to the close, in one year, month, or day, have I ever held any other doctrine than that principles and character, not birthplace and creed, were the true test for official promotion. Men who may resort to forgery may sign my name with fingers, for a forgery is a felony. You here know that there has not been an election for the last twelve years that 1 have gone to the polls, not with a closed ballot, but with an open one, and voted for men of foreign birth, and who worshiped at a different altar from what I did myself. Here is the only place where I shall answer that calumny; let it buried in the tomb, where are buried calumnies and forgeries like it iu the graves of the past.” - • POLITICAL NEWS.
