This 1.1 mi old story which few pel- ;
sons liavc hoard. When governor ol
Now York, .Seward, in those pro-rail- j
road days, had occasion to visit a cer
tain part, of the State; and accordingly,
mounted upon the box of the mail
coach, in order that he n did it enjoy j
his cigar and the scenery. The driver j
was an inquisitive fellow, and his
passenger humored him
“Land agent?” said the driver. j
“No,” quoth Seward.
"Selling goods ?”
“No.”
“Traveling preacher ?”
“No.”
“C i reus t
“No.”
“What, then,' aid the baffled
driver, “what is your business?
“Govern.>r <> what V
“Governor of the State* of New
York,” replied the smoking passenger,
with composure •’
“Get aout!” '* „
“Well 1 can c<m\ ince you of that,
said Seward, “lor here is a man on the
mad with whotn l am acquainted,
and as the stage passed by, he saluted
him. “Good morning, Mr. Hunker, I
want to ask you a question—am I not
thi' Governor ol the State of New
York?”
“No, by thunder!” was Hunkers
unexpected answer.
“Who is, then?” said the startled
smoker.
“Thuiiow A\ ee.l?
(leu. l.ongstreet accept the Mili
tary hill as a peace-offering, and coun
sels hi- fellow-citizens to use the op
portunity it oilers. This is good ad
vice. it is a significant tact that most
of the chief llebei Generals have fully
accepted the terms of the North,
though by these terms they are dis
franchised, and that the opposition to
1 {.•construction conics from civil office
holders gentlemen like Gov. Jenkins
and e\-Gov. Horn N. ). Tribune.
The high-lolled 1 temocracy, much as
they despise the negro, are not above
cheating him. The most contemptible
attempts to delraud colored men who
could not read, were made wholesale
at the election held in Washington day
before yesterday. Facsimile tickets,
headed “ Republican,” and printed in
our colored ink, with the Democratic
names substituted, were freely used,
and doubtless lessened our three thou
sand majority. Such is Democratic
self respect. Ignorant, honesty and pa
1 riot ism, however, were prop! against
intelligent fraud, and the initial vote of
the black race was cast for freedom.

To the Republicans of the Union.
The National Union Committee appeals
to the Republicans of every State, for
their assistance anil co-operation in this
auspicious crisis of our country.
We deem it of the highest importance
that the Republicans of each State should
immediately reorganize for the remaining
elections of 1867, preparatory to the com
ing Presidential contest. Especially should
this organization be immediately effected
in those States which have never before
recognized as the only just basis of govern
ment the equal and inalienable rights of
man. Not a day should be lost iti forming
and strengthening within those States
a public sentiment in consonance with
the principles which underlie the great
Political organization to which we belong.
To this end, wo desire to prosecute a
systematic and thorough canvass of the
Southern States, by the most efficient
speakers of both races. We would second
their efforts by a distribution of docu
ments, enforcing the principles, policy
and aims of the Republican party. Wi
would call, in every locality where it is
possible, meetings for discussion, where
those who arc with us in principle may
learn to act with unity and ciicnrgy.
These measures ate required to bring out
the vote ot that large body of Republican
Unionists who now render the Southern
States a battle-field of principle. II is the
pressing need of the hour that bold, jucii
cions and able men, thoroughly imbued
with our creed, should there explain our
principles, establish our Taithfulnoss to
them, and prove that national greatness
and human freedom depend upon the per
manent, triumph of our cause.
ISeyimd Ibis, it is most essential that wo
should now establish in those States,
Free Thought, Free Speech and a Free
Press. Every part of this Republic must
be open to the discussion of principles
and measures. This must be sustained, as
a cardinal point in our creed, at any and
every hazard. Efforts to intimidate the
bumble and ignorant voter on the part of
the Southern plantar, must be met with
the spirit of freemen, and the determina
tion which a just cause sanctions.
In time past, the Republican party bus
struggled against the unjust reproach of
being sectional in its aims and character,
though il- purpose-sand its means of effec
ting them were such as the fathers of the
Republic approved. It was accused of
being governed by selfish motives, and of
desiring to aggrandize the North at the
expense of the South. Its adversaries,
having the power to silence and to crush
all opposition, denied all discussion, and
overawed even freedom of thought in fif
teen States of the Union. It is, therefore,
now and imperative duty, which we owe
t<> “in- party and to ourselves, to embrace
the. first opportunity of truly representing
to those States how consistently we have
contended for the interests, welfare and
freedom of the whole Union.
The overthrow of Slavery and the Re
bellion, and the enfranchisement of the
freed men, rendering this overthrow se
cure and final, have happily vindicated
our course and organization; but it is
necessary to stamp (lie convietion of our
loyalty and fidelity to the right, irrespco
live of section or race, upon the recon
structed States. For the first time in many
years, the enthusiastic followers of our
ting and confessors of our faith arc there
taking part in the popular gatherings,
and in many of the Southern States, we
have reason to believe that they form a
decided majority. They are, however,
without organization, and lack the co
hesion and discipline necessary to success.
Three fourths of the Republicans have
never voted, and have no practicable
knowledge, of the means whereby the
popular will is expressed. With many
ol them, the habit is fixed, of rendering
implicit obedience to able and dexterous
politician" who arc implacably hostile to
our principles and determined on the
prostration of our cause.
Our immediate action is therefore im
pe-rative. We cannot delay without im
pciiliniy dl for which so much lias been
sacrificed in tlic past. Confident in our
•strength in the North, the West, and the
Pacific States, we must not forget that we
have a great duly to perform toward the
loyal and true men of the South.
Republicans! our appeal is to you, to
carry on and sustain the work which a
few loyal and true men have so nobly be
gin]. We cannot ask speakers, in addition
to giving I heir time and talents for months
to thishrlior, to defray their own necessary
expense--. Wc cannot print and distribute
documents of the character required with
out a heavy outlay. We have no means or
reliance except upon the generous spirit of
that great party which holds the claims of
Humanity and Freedom above all price.
The patronage of the Government brought
into power by the statesmanship, the
courage, and the loyalty of that party,
will not aid us in this good work.
We must, therefore, appeal directly and
personally to you.- If you are rich, [give
generously. If poor, send us whatever you
cau afford. The generous purpose and
the noble aim sanctify the humblest ef
forts. At all events, act promptly, and
let mi feel that the sympathy of the Repub
lican party is with us in our purpose of
making tliis great, land the home of true
Republican principles, were distinctions ol
race and color are unknown, and where
J,ilx-rty, Virtue and Intelligence from tlic
enduring basis of our greatness and pros
perity.
