Mr Seymour’s better ©lAccept ante. Utica, August 4, 1868. Gentlemen: When in the city ol New York on the 11th nit., in the pres ence of a vast multitude, on behall ol the National Democratic Convention, you tendered to me its unanimous nom ination as the candidate for the office of President of the United States. 1 stated I had no words ‘‘adequate to ex press my gratitude for the good will and kindness which that body had shown me.” Its nomination was un sought and unexpected. It was my ambition to uke an active part, from which I am now excluded, in the great struggle going on for the restoration of good government, of peace and pros perity to c/ur country, but I have been caught up by the overwhelming tide which is bearing us on to a great politi cal change, and I find mysell unable to resist its pressure. You bate also giv en me a copy of the resolutions put forth by the Convention showing its positions upon all the great questions which now agitate tlie country. As the presiding officer of that convention, l am familiar wiih their scope and im port. As one ot the members, lam a party to their terms. They are in ac cord with my views, and I stand upon them in the contest upon which we are now entering, and I shall strive to carry them out in future wherever I may lie placed, in political or private life. I then staled 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 the Conven tion. 1 have delayed the more formal act of communicating to you in writing what I '.hen publicly said for the pur pose of seeing what light the action of Congress would throw upon the inter ests of llie country. Its acts since the adjournment of (tie (Tonvention show an alarm lest a change of political pow er will give to the people what they ought to have — a clear statement ol what has been done with the money drawn from them during the past eight years. Thoughtful men feel that there have been wrongs in the financial man agement which have bent kept horn the public knowledge. The Congres sional power has not only allied itself witli military power which is to be brought to bear directly upon the elec tions in many States, but it also holds in perpetual session, with the avowed purpose of making such laws as it shall see fit in view of the elections which will tike place shortly. It did not therefore adjourn, but took a recess, to meet again it its partisan interests shall demand its re assembling. Never be foie in the history of our coumrv has congress thus taken a menacing atti* iude towards its electors. Under its influence some of tfie States organized by its agents are proposing 1 lo deprive the people of-the right to vole for Pres idential electors, and the first bold steps are taken to destroy the rights of suf frage. It is not strange, therefore, that thoughtful i.ieii see in such action the that l\teve is w '\tW w\»«* wli .. j>© the policy of the Republican part) mo tives stronger and deeper than the mere wish to hold the political power ; that there is a dread of some exposure which drives them on to acts so desperate and so impolitic. .Many of the ablest lead ers and journals of the Republican party haveupenly deplored the violence of Congressional action and its tenden cy to keep up discord in the country. The great interests ot our Union de mand peace, order and a return to those industrial pursuits without which we cannot maintain the faith or honor of Government. The mind of business men are perplexed by uncertainties. — The hours ot toil of our laborers are lengthened by the costs of living made by the direct and indirect exactions of Government. Our people are barrass ed bv the heavy and frequent demands of the tax gatherer. Without distinc tion of party there is a strong feeling ■«>. (»v.,r «.>( that line of action which Shall lift otT the btirilens wliieh 'n»s hinder anti vex the industry of the country. Yet at this moment those in power have thrown in the Senate cham ber and Congressional hall new ele ments of discord and violence ; men have been admitted as representatives of some of the Southern States with the declaration upon their lips, that they cannot live in the States they claim to represent without military protection. These men are to make taws lor 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 Slates are to-day the masters and controllers of the actions of those bodies. Entering them with minds filled with passions, their first demands have been that Congress shall look upon the Stales from which they came as in conditions of civil war; that t.ie majority of their populations, embrac ing their intelligence, sliail be treated as public enemies ; that military forces shall be kept up at the cost of the peo ple 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 man knows that these men owe their seats in Con gress to the disorder in the South. — Every man knows that they not only owe their present positions 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 ex ists they are independent of the will or wishes of their fellow citizens. While confusion reigns they are the dispens ers of the profits and the honors which grow out of a Government of mere force. These men are now placed in positions where they can not only urge their views of policy, but where they can enforce them. When others shall be admitted in this manner from the remaining Southern States, although they will have in truth no constituents, they will have more power in the Sen ate than a majority of the people of this Union, living in nine of the great States. In vain the wisest members ot the Republican party protested against the policy that led to this result.— While the chiefs of the late rebellion iiave submitted to the result of the war, and are now quietly engaged in the usual pursuits for the support of them selves and their families, and are try ing by the force of their example to lead back the people of the South to the order and industry, not only es sential to their well being, but to the greatness and prosperity of our com mon country, we see that those who without ability or influence., have been thrown by the agitators of civil convul sion into positions of honor and profit, are striving to keep alive the passions to which they owe their elevation, and they clamorously insist that they are the oul v friends of our Union—a Union tl;at can only have a sure foundation in fraternal regard, and a common de sire to promote the peace, the order, and the happiness of all sections of our land. Events in Congress since the adjournment of the Convention have vastly increased the importance of a political victory by those who are seek ing 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 vi olence to which it has run. They have cherished a faith that while the action of their political friends has been mis taken, their motives have been gyod. They must now see that the Republican party is in that condition that it cannot carry out a wise and peaceful policy, whatever its motives may be. It is a inislortune not oulv 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 ten years have given it so much power that it has been able to shackle the Executive, to trammel the judiciary, and Lo carry out the views of the most unwise and violent of its mem hers. When this state of things exists in any party, it has ever been found that the sober judgements of its ablest leaders do not control. There is hard ly an able mail who helped to build up the Republican organiz ition who has not within the last three years warned it against its excess ; who lias not been borne down and forced to give up his convictions of what the interests of the country called for; or if too patriotic to do this, who has not been driven from its ranks. If this has been the case hertofore, whai will It its action now, witli 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 e.arcer with calls for arms, demands that their States shall be regarded as in a condition of civil war, and with a licclanitimi that they are ready and anxious to degrade tlie President ol the (Jailed States whenever they can per suade or force Congress to bring- for ward new articles of iin peach men t. The Republican party as well as we, are interested in putting some check upon '.his violence. It must he clear to every thinking man that a division of political power tends to check the ttie peace and good order ol society. — The election ol a Democratic executive and a majority ol Democratic members to the House of Represenlatives would not give to that party organization the power to make sudden anil violent changes, hut il would serve lo check those extreme measures which have been deplored by the very best men of both political organizations. The re sult would certainly lead to that peace ful restoration of the Union and re establish meut of fraternal relationship which the country desires. lam sure the best men of the Republican party deploie as deeply as ldo tha spirits ot violence shown by those recently ad mitted to seats in Congress from the South. condition of civil war which they contemplate must be ab horrent to every right-thinking man. I have no mere personal wishes which mislead my judgment in regard to the pending election. No man who h .»» vv eti»Vve,V wnd measured the tlulies live l»reni«»ent of the United States can fail to be 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 public will, its distinguish ing feature is that it seeks to protect the rights of minorities. Its greatest glory is that it puls restraints upon power. It gives force and form to those maxims and principles of civil liberty for which the mirtyrs of free dom have struggled through ages. It declares the right of the people to se cure in their persons, houses and pa pers against unreasonable searches and seizures : that Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or the free speech, or of the press, or the right of the people to pe tition for redress of grievances. It se cures the right of speedy and public trial by an impartial jury. No man can rightfully enter upon the duties of the Presidential office un.- less he is not only willing to carry out the wishes of the people, expressed in a constitutional way, but is also pre pared to stand up for the rights of minorities ; be must be ready to up hold the free exercise of religion ; be must denounce measures which would wrong personal or borne rights or the religious conscience of the humblest citizen of the land ; he must maintain, without distinction of creed, or nation ality, all the privileges of American citizenship. The experience of every public man who has been faithful to bis 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 bad, but to suffer from the censure of the good who are misled by prejudices and misrepresentations. There are no at tractions in such positions, which deceive my judgment when I say that a great change is going on in the public mind. I'he mass of the Re publican party are more thoughtful, temperate aud just that! they were during the excitement which attended the progress aud close of the civil war. As the energy of the Democratic party springs from their devotion to their cause, and not to their candidates, I may with propriety speaks the fact that never in the political history of our country has the action of a like body been hailed with such universal and wide-spread enthusiasm as that which has been shown in relation to the po sition of the National Democratic Con vention. With this the candidates had nothing to do. Had any others of those named been selected, this spirit would have been perhaps more marked. The zeal and energy of conservative masses spring from a desire to make a change in the political policy, and Irons confi dence that they can carry out their purpose. In this laitli they are strength ened by the co-operation of the great body of those who served in the Union army and navy during the war. Having given nearly sixteen thous and commissions ux officers in tit at army, I know their views and wishes. They demand the Union for which they fought. The largest meeting of these gallant soldiers which ever as sembled was held in New York, and endorsed the action of the National Convention in words instinct with meaning. They called on the govern ment to stop in its policy of hate, dis order and disunion, and in terms of fervid eloquence demanded a restora tion of ille rights and liberties of the American people. When there is such accoid between those who proved themselves brave and se'f-sacrificing in war, those who are thoughtful and patriotic in council. I cannot doubt we shall gain a political triumph which will restore our Union ; bring back peace and prosperity to our land, and will give us once more the blessings of a wise, economical and honest govern ment. 1 am, gentlemen, truly yours, Horatio Seymour. To General G. W. Morgan and oth ers, committee, &c. from the St. Louis Republicvn. Converted by Blown.—A Poli tical Quarrel. Carondelet looks on the docks and the docks look on the river, and it came about that nearly a mile from the Marine Docks, southwesterly, there lived a large, sun-browned, honest Irishman named Dennis Hennessy, whose good nature was proverbial, and whose perpetual wit ripp lei! and spark led like rare champagne. In the morn ing his rollicking song went seaward in the arms of the riverrippies, and at nigfit they came back to him in dreams of Krin and bare-footed nymphs splash ing and dabbling lilv-wise in the limpid Shannon. Dennis was a Democrat. It did one good to hear him shout for Seymour and Diair, and (here were blows ol blillie battle asleep in bis shiiietah when he twirled it in imagin ary melee upon the head of an imagin ary Radical. By and by there came over from New York a young cousin, Jerry Lar ritnore, just as big as Dennis and a bit of liepublican, too, by the way. Den nis received him with that hospitality wlucli its ilits tt-t 1 i i<»ii ol til*» iiiuo* r l* it ts y talked home talk long and lovingly; they mixed with the fragrant aroma of their serviceable pipes the grateful in cense of steaming punches, and they crowded into the night many dear memories of the past and its pleasures. Then came America, and Missouri, and the wages, and the prospects, and last ol all the skeleton of politics step* ped out from its closet and hovered eT.-r the feast. Jerry spoke up quickly and earnestly for Grant ; Dennis said never a word. Jerry bore down a lit tle hard upon Seymour; Dennis frown ed ominously and spoke quick then: “Let us go to bed, Jerry, we’ll talk all about this to-morrow.” A “night cap,” worn as all night-caps should be, capped the dialogue, and the cousins retired —Jerry to sleep, Dennis to pon der. Breakfast was over, the sun was up ; the air was balmy, and the cousins were in excellent spirits. At length Beniiia 1 1 e it ut?sy spoke to Jerry fairly* thus: R' Vf3 rate* great pain lo know ve for a Radciai, Jerry Larritnore, cousin of mine as ye arp, tpid I have ibis to say to ye: I will fight yo foil as any man ever fought if ye will prom ise to vote for Seymour and Blair if I whip ye; and I swear to ye by the living poker that I will swallow Grant, nagur and all, if I get the worst of it.” “Illegant,” cried Jerry, stripping off his coat, not a whit set bjek, “and mind ye, we musn’t get mad, and we must shake hands afterwards.” “Friends it is, hit or miss,” answered Dennis, and the two athletes met foot to foot in this singular encounter. The struggle was long, severe and des perate. Jerry bandied himself in a most creditable manner, and upheld the name of his General with commenda ble prowess, but the muscles of Dennis, hardened by stout work, held out long est, until at last Jerry failed to come to lime, and yielded smilingly. “It’s all right then?” asked the victor. “Yes, be jabers, an I would vote for the divif, be gorrah, before having anoder of your blows. Hurrah for Seymour and Blair !” Thus has another good De mocratic voter been added to the list for November, and thus did Dennis Hennessy convert his cousin from the poisonous faith oi Radicalism.

The notice sent ps from Calhoun, Ga., about the Democratic Mass Meeting and Bar becue, at that place, on the 20th iust. came to hand too late for our last week’s paper, is th» reason why it was not published agreeably to request. The Cartersville Express. Any one who has been a reader of the Car iersvillc Express, for any length of time, has not failed to observe the marked improve ment in its typographeal appearance, for the last few numbers This is to he attributed to the superior workmanship of Mr. I. C. Mor gan, who was once the publisher and prepri"- tor of the I‘ahnclto Banner. Columbia, S. C\, and publisher of other papers and periodicals in that city, before the war; in fact, he was one of the leading publishers in that State, but was unfottunafely broken Up by the war, since which time, his delicate health and feeble constitution have forced him to close confine ment in his room during a good portion of the above named period, until very recently, we succeeded in securing his services. He is a good writer, and has no superior, in this coun try. as a practical printer and publisher. We have ordered a supply of new type for our paper, and expect to dress it up anew in the course of two or three weeks, and send it forth over the land, battling for the Constitu tion, Seymour and Blair, the great champions of that sacred instrument. We want to double our subscription list,and intend to do it, therefore we offer great induce ments to Clubs, as follows: A club of len one year s<2o, and one copy gratis one year to the getter up of the club. Single subscription one year $3; two copies one year s|is ; Five copies one year -s|o, For the Presidential campaign, (first of De cember JjU), SAM’L H. SMITH, Editor and Proprietor. I must, certainly, make mv bow to the Pro prietor of the Express for the above flattering notice, unexpectedly prepared by him in com mendation of my poor services in the endeavor to improve his paper. For myself, I can see i but little difference in the execution, nor will there he till the arrival of the new tvpp of which bespeaks. I. C. MORGAN.

Tlie Situation in Bartow. As far as our observation extends, we have not seen enough opposition to Seymour and Blair, in this county, to make the campaign interesting. It seems to he almost a one-sided matter here with the people; and we are in' dined to think it is pretty much the case all over Cherokee, Georgia. The Radical party could not have pursued a more suicidal course than they did. In the first place they promised every body relief from the payment of old debts, when they knew that it was only a trick to cateh voles, whereby they could run into office and have their new State Constitution ratified. They have accomplished just what they de signed. Many good men voted for the Constitution, as obnoxious as it was otherwise, just for the sake of Relief, and many, too, who were not in debi themselves, but they voted for it think ing it would be best for the country. The Radical leaders deceived them by making them believe that relief would stick, notwithstanding the protestations of the Democracy to the contrary. — The result is, the people have got the obnoxious Constitution without relief and the leaders have got the offices, which officers are to be supported by taxing the people who put them in office, and the dear people in addition have to pay tlieir old debts. The la boring man who works hard and gets from twelve to twenty dollars a month, has to pay out of his hard earnings an enormous tax to support his deceiver , who is getting nine dollars a day to place patronage was promised freely upon the success of the Radical party. Many a m m was deceived and invei gled into voting the Radical ticket, at ill? late election, by promises from the leaders of that parity that in the distri bution of offices they Should come in for a full share. If there were one hundred offices to he filled there were promises made that a thousand men should fill them, and soon in the same ratio. Now that that party has been successful and placed in power, the poor deceived voters are crawling up for their share of the spoils. But what poor, labouring man has yet been plac ed in an office that will pay for his salt? The paying offices have all been dis tributed among the leaders of the par ty, and the poor man is left to mourn over his folly. We have not the heart to sympathise with them, for common reason shonto have convinced them that there were not offices enough for all, to whom they were promised.— The disappointed ones will, perhaps, be told to hold on, their time will come after a while; but we are inclin ed to lhe opinion that they are begin ning to smell a mice, and have conclu ded that as they have been tricked once, it is the leaders’ fault, and that if they are tricked aga>n it will be theirs.— But we are not disposed to complain, these deceptions are working glorious ly for the Democracy.

FOR THE CURE OF AGUE AND FEVER oh CHILLS AND. FEVER, The proprietor of this celebrated medicine justly claims for it a superiority over all remedies ever ofer ed to the ppbli* for the ea/t, certain, n>**dy and per manent cure of Ague and Fever, or Chills snd Fever, whether of short or long stsnding. He refers to the entire Western and Southwestern country to bear him testimony to the truth of the assertion, that in no esse whatever vxßl it fisil to cure, if tbe diweettoos arsstrict ly followed and. ca ried out. In a great many cases a single dose has been sufficient for a cure, and whole families have been cured by a single bottle, withs per fect restoration of the general health. It is, however, prudent, and in every case more certain to cure, If •“ use is continued in smaller doses for a week or two a • ter the disease lias been checked, more e*,>*oially in difficult and losg standing cases. Usually, this mtm cine will not require a .y aid to keep the bowels m good order; should the patient, however, require cathartic medicine, after having taken ‘hree or fonr . doxeaof the Tonic, a single dose of BULL s > EHEt a BEX FAM’LY PltiLfi will b* sufficient.
