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.

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.

Any one who has been a reader of the Car

not failed to observe the marked improve

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

succeeded in securing his services. He is a
good writer, and has no superior, in this coun

We have ordered a supply of new type for

the course of two or three weeks, and send it

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.

chills followed by very high fevor, throwing bln late
spasms, or perhaps more properly ftts. iaslingfrom
half an hour to one and a half hours; at the same time
the child had very .trong symptoms of worms. My
physician—one of the best in this part of the country
exhausted ail his skill and the Materia Medico to ex

though'“Sohn Bull ’ could do it, and gave the child
the contents of three boxes, In triple doses, night sod
morning, with happy results. The child has net had

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.
