' - Ilovr Tlicy Toak It. It is very amusing to read in the New York journals how the Western delegates took the nomination of Sey mour. It seems that the centre of interest was fie Fifth Avenue Hotel, where the Pcndletonians hung out From the different accounts of the Reporters, we learn that the frank, outspoken and manly representatives of the northwestern democrats, who from the first had entertained an in stinctive apprehension of the wiles of Tnmmanv Ilall and the Manhattan Club, an J had looked on all the splen dors and B-eiruileinents oi tne met ropolw as so many allurements and snares were sulky, dissatisfied nd humiliated at the result. It only needed the presence of a New York Democrat to excite tnem to express their. sentiments in terms winch lost in elegance and gained in force as the nitrht advanced and as the bowls of consolation had a more manifest effect. One of the Iowa delegates, or re markable fluency of speech, and in i state of pleasant exhilaration, gather cd crowds around him wherever he went. He said that when the Iowa member of the National Committee returned from the meeting at which Xew York was selected as the place for holding the convention, he told him: -'I can predict exactly what the result of this will be. The North west ern delegates will tike the long and dustv ride to New York, and find the ManWtm Club ready to welcome then with the most exquisite courtesy TheManhattaners and theTammany ites will dine them and wine them; take them to the Park, to the 'Black Crook' or the 'White Fawn' or Hump- ty Dumpty,' and swallow them whole." Stanging near the epoaker was an immense good naturedOhio man, who was swaying about either from over excitement or some- other cause, and strove inarticulately to express his assent to the speaker's views of New York politicians. To the Buckeye the Iowa orator turns and says, good humoredly: "Ohio, let's you and I come down here and see if we can learn how to make money without working for it.. After we've been here six months we'll go back to our States and teach the Buckeye and Hawkeves how to run Conventions." To which Oldo replies: 'iThese York ers think all of us west of the Alleyh anies are suckers." The Fendietou iaus around sorrowfully assent, as though they felt that this was a correct judgment. The same speaker in another crowd begins to mildly doubt Seymour's success, but soon has a hornet's nest around him, and is "bluffed" dyared shirtcd representative of the Sixth ward, who offers to bet $500 on his "Seymour. The Iowan laoks at the Sixth warder, suggests that he has not the appearance of a moneyed man, and declines to bet with irresponsible persons, but extricates himself from the effects of the damaging confession by exteniorizing a highllown eulogy of New York's "favorite son," con cluding with the sad reflection that in tlie-e degenerate daj-s so great tal ents and such brilliant virtues couiJ not be appreciated, aud by expressing his kar that Seymour, like Webster and Clay, will lor this reason fall short of the Presidency. ' In the hotel another disappointed delegate, from Ohio, made himself almost as prominent a.s the lowan. A short, lean, sallow-complexioned, intense looking man, justeuough tor mented with cornjuice to be sadly earnest and entirely unreserved, the crest fallen man held forth by the hour to an attentive crowd. His words of earnestness aud truth. - The Ohio dclegationand the other Northwestern delegations came to New York he said, presenting the name of George II. Pendleton as their unanimous choice, in good faith, and expecting to be met with good faith. Mr. Pendleton was the candidate, not of the politicians, but of the people, and the delegates who gave him up, basely betrayed the people. They have been bought since they came here. No matter what the price was-whether it was five cents or five hundred thousand dollars -the New Yorkers had the money and paid it. These men have got their reward ; but let them meet their constituents! The Indiana men who went for Hendricks, know ing that he was used a;? a catspaw, will have a nice time when they get home; and the Missourians will get coats of tar and feathers. Hendricks has killed himself eternally. He won't be Governor. He never will be Senator again, and he can't get elected constable by the party he has sold. "We have been tricked and cheated at every turn, and go home -with sad hearts.'' "But," says a New York Democrat, "some of tis had to give up our preferences, and you Ohio men ought to vield cheerfully to the will of majority.'" "Well," says Ohio "that's so, but "its a hard case. I shall sup port Seymour, hut I can't work for him as I would for the choice of the mass of the democracy, George II. Tendle ton." Andsothe Ohio man deject edly ran on, more in sorrow than in anger, varying his denudations of New York schemes and northwest ern dues and traitors, but adhering to the mouriilul theme with pertinacity. clogged : ' Jefferson City, July 1G. The Radical State Convention eff ected a iwrmanent organization at 1 o'clock by the election of Samuel Hays, of Jluchanaa, county, as President. The platform adopted is in substance as follows: It indorses the Chicago platform : '. thanks the Democratic party for laying bare their treasonable designs , advocates the payment of the national debt according to the tearrus upon which it was created; characterizes as unjust any disfragchisement on account of color: favors the adoption of the Constitut ional Amendment striking the word white from the State Constitution ; deems disfranchisement as having been necessary, but promises a restora tion to political rights at some future day, ami concludes with a flattering resume of Radical financiering, and a recommeudation that id future none but men of established character and honesty be nominated for office. The nominations were as follows: For Governor, Col. McClurg; Lieutenant Govenor, E. O. Stanard; Secret iry of State, Francis Rodman ; Treasurer, Win. Q. Dalmeger; Auditor Gen. Dan, M. Drapper; Register of Lands, Jo seph 11. McGee; Atty. General, Hor ace R. Johnson ; for Supreme Bench, David Wagnor, Philemore Bliss, and Henry A. Clover. TirE other day an old soldier who lost an arm said: "I am waiting to see if the people of this country are going to elect Horatio Seymour, and if they do I will swear that. I lost my arm in a threshing machine, not in defense of my country." BROLLEB Tuc Democracy and the Xisger Tlie Shorter Cateclilsni on Kcgro Equality. . Who said that all men are created on Tin!

Tlie Pis or Pup Platform Wiicli is it! The following story will be apprecia ted bv every man who will analize the platform of the Democratic party, recently adopted at New York. Some years ago a gentleman lived a few miles from Louisville, Kentucky, who had a fine breed of dogs. A friend living about five miles from himsecured the promise of a pup from him when old enough to be taken from the mother. When the time came the donor wrote a letter of qreseutation, and causing one of his negroes to place the pup in a bag, gave him the letter and ordered him to take the letter and pup to Mr. . The negro shouldered the bag and trudged along until he came to a grocery on the road side, about half way to his destination, at the door of which sat a half dozen of young men who knew the negro "and his weak points. Hailing him they asked him what he had in his bag, and where he was taking it, The negro, unsuspicious of evil, told them all a bout it, on which they told him to come in and get a drink. Noth ing loth, he set his bag outside of the door and went in and drank, and, whilst some of the party kept him in conversation inside, others of them stole tlie pup and substituted a pig in place of it. Aftcrdrinking, the negro came out and shouldered his bag, unconscious of the change, and pro ceeded to his destination. Arriving there he sent the letter to" the gentle man to whom it was directed, who, glad to have his present, gave orders to admit the bearer. When brought in to his presence he told the negro to get him out. The negro did so : when piggy appeared; the negro, all astonishment, declared it was just as mastersent it. The gentleman, think ing himself insulted, wrote a very in dignant letter to the donor, and, ord ering the negro to take his pig back, gave him the letter for his master. The negro again proceeded on his way, until he came to the grocery, where the same crowd still stopped On observing him they hailed him, to know why he was bringing back his pup ; the negro told them the rea son, and they again asked him in to drink, and while hewasdoingso they substituted the pup for the pig. Aftef drinking, the negro went on his way with his burden, and arriving at home gave his master the gentl man's let ter. The master was astonished at its contents, and ordered the bag to be emptied, when lo and behold there was the pup! The negro, in amaze, raised both hands, and cried out, "'Fore God, .master, he am pig or pup,, just as he please." Now, let any honest man read the platform, and if the pig or pup plat form is not the true name of it, then it will be hard to undone for it. St. Louis Democrat. The Democratic party proposes to run the Presidential race with a three legged horse. Seymour is the "bloat ed bondholders" candidate. Blair is the candidate of the revolutionists. Their platform is the candidate of the repudiationists. Detroit Post. , - Z --- ...... - - J - - , . , 1-C7 J Mi : H ! i, 1 ' )i it J Orators and Statesmen. . It is a3 absurd' to confound "states manship with eloquence as to mistake the talent to persuade for the ability to command. Persuasion is not govern ment, and those who have excelled in eloquence have often been beneath contempt in administration. The qualities of mind aud heart required for oratory are largely opposed to those involved in executive statemanship. The orator needs fervid imagination ; the executive, cool and unbiassed judg ment. The former quality clothes dry and. uninteresting facts in gorgeous coloring, and, in part, out of the ideal and fanciful constuets the basis for a conclusion. The latter strips all con clusions of their fanciful apparel, and deals with the few simple facts which ari the controlling elements in evry problem. Among our representative statesmen Franklin, Washington, Hamilton, Jefferson, Madison, Jack son, , Calhoun, Webster. Clav. .and 1 Lincoln only three were orators, and iuey never t-iiaineu u cseeuuvc posi tions. Among our ' representative orators Otis, Ames, Patrick Henry, Randolph, Calhoun, Webster, Clay, Corwin, Everett, Choate, and Wen dell -Phillips not one has ever been selected for an executive position, and most of them would have had the modesty to admit their unfitness. Our executive men have . been silent men This is not an accident of politics, but a necessity or business, it origi nates in the fact that the higher the excelence the greater the division of labor ; or, as Spencer expressed it, the dmerentation ot 1 unctions. To argue is one thing ; to decide, another. To talk is one trade : to act is a very diff erent one. In Europe, to-day, the silent, mum bling Napoleon reigns, while the Wizard of Eloquence, Kossuth, en aoweu witn as noble blood and sur rounded at one time by as great oppor tunities, is an exile and a failure. Garibaldi, an orator and revolutionist, has built up power for others, but has retained none for himself, lhe Ciesars, Napoleons, Peter of Russia, William of Orange, Cromwell, v aslungton, and nearly all founders of dynasties or great administrators, have been tacit urn. The Dcmostheneses, Ciceros, Brutuses, Burkes, and Sheridans have neither founded dynasties nor wielded executive power. lo those, thereiore, who argue that Grant cannot declaim like Disraeli or Gladstone, we may safely reply that Disraeli and Glad stone could not command, plan, ad minister, or execute like Grant. Disraeli, the most brilliant orator of Great Britain, has been twenty-five years getting to be Premier, and was not as many days in showing his incapacity to hold the position. N. Y.

Dr. Pariish, of the Media Asjdum for Inebriates, in Delaware county, Penn., delivered an interesting lect ure in West Chester, on Tuesday even ing of last week, upon "Habit and its Laws." We learn that the leading topic of the lecture was the habit of intemperance, and the question was argued more trom a pnj-sicai man a moral standpoint. The doctor main tained that drunkenness is a disease, and its victime can no more help it than thev can help an attack of the cholera, yellow fever, or consumption. This disease may be ncrcditary, may be implanted by the mother in ad ministering remedies to her infant. or may be acquired as other diseases are, through" improper diet, etc. The doctor was decidedly down on tm; profession for prescribing so much alcohol in many of their remedies. great error of the cay is the man ner in which the disease of intemper ance is treated. It has become tlie very bad habit to denounce it as a crime, to rate it among the vices, and consequently its unfortunate victims are cut olTfroru the care and sympathy they deserve and stand so mucn in need of, and are looked upon only as meriting punishment for their crime. This is all wrong. When the great fmblic when temperance reformers ook upon drunkenness in its proper light when tlie same provision is made for its thirty thousand victims in Pennsylvania that is made for the blind, the crazy, or tne poor wnen the drunkard is takeu by the hand, encouraged, sympathized with, and is made to feel that he is suffering with a disease, and is not a criminal in the eves of the moral world, an imnortanfc sron .w ill be taken in the true pathway to temperance reform.

"Occasional," in a letter to the Washington Clironicle, concerning the New York convention says, The coincidences of the convention begin before the rebellion. It is note worthy how few of the genuine friends of Douglas are among the delegates, outside of Illinois. The presence of tlie two Eiglers John or California and William of Pennsylvania, of George W. Woodward, chairman of the Pennsylvania delegation ; of Ho ratio Seymour and Sanford E. Church of New York, of Voorhees and Nib lack of Indiana, of Henry Clay Dean of Iowa, and thousands who "helped in the sacrifice of that great leader in lSGf), is perhaps the best assurance that could be given that the body of his friends are now identified with the Republican party. No acknowledged Douglas Democrat is here from Penn sylvania. Hon. John Cessna, who manfully struggled for him eight years ago as a delegate t Charleston and Baltimore, w ;. . ' v7',:!-on , to Chicago one mouth ii. L. Cake, who prnited a Douglas paper at Pottsville in 1S00, is now the able Re- Eublican Congressman from Schuyl ill and Lebanon ; General Lilly, who led the Douglas Democracy or the Tenth Legion in the same year, was a Republican delegate to Chicago in May ; General John W. Geary, who carried out the Douglas doctrine as Governor of Kansas, after Recder was betrayed, is now the Republican Gov ernor of Pennsylvania. The Demo cracy of Pennsylvania is represented to-day by the rank proscriptionist3 who sustained the Lecompton and English infamies in ISoS and 1Sj9, and then set the precedent for secesion by breaking up the Democratic National Convention in 1SG0. Colonel George W. McCook, an honest friend of Douglas, is chairman of the Ohio delegation ; but he is the leader of those who are sworn to sup port Pendleton, the sympathizer with that rebellion denounced by Douglas every hour he lived after Sumter fell. The head of the Delaware delegation is Senator James A. Bayard, "the Great Seceder," having left tbe regular Democratic Convention at Charleston in 1860, and then, having joined the seceders, seceded from them. The head of the Indiana delegation is the well known Graham N Fitch, Sen ator in the war upon Douglas. When it was found that Douglas'could neith er be coaxed nor bought, Fitch was put forth to bully him, and his violent speech will ever be remembered, not only lor tlie indignation it excited among patriotic men, but for the joy it gave to the present rebel leaders. His son, then in Illinois, joined the enemies of Douglas in that fetate, and is now Johnson's Attorney. General in Georgia, and a furious enemy of the Republican party. I suppose the son is also among the delegates. From the South, the delegates were nearly all original rebels, and of course enemies of Douglas. Curious to sav, most of these men are disfranchised lor their treason, and,, though eager to make an American candidate for President, have heretofore freely de clared that they are no longer citizens of the United States. TForli for Women. Here i3 a solution of a question which troubles some people very much. We sav a solution we mean an illustration helping to a solution. It is by the "Old Bachelor" of Har per's Hazar, who manages to say a good many very sensible things m a very quiet, unallccted way. Read : "It seems to me tnat women might especially succeed as wood engravers, so I went to one of the most expe rienced and successful engravers in the city, and consulted with him. "Don't you see tho dimculty?" he asked, with great kindness and in terest. "No," said I, ''you must instruct me." "Well," answered he, "I have em ployed women here very often, and I wish I could feel more encouraged. But the truth is, that when a young man comes to me and brings his work he feels that it is his life's business how to cut his future out of the little blocks before him. Wife, family, home, happiness, are all to be carved by his hands, and he settles steadily and earnestly to his labor, determined to master it, and with every incite ment spurring him on. He cannot marry until he knows his trade. I tis exactly the other way with the girl. She may be as poor as the youth, and wholly dependent upon her labor for her living. But she teels that she will probably be married by-and-by, and then she must give up wood "engra ving. So she goes on listlessly: she has no ambition to excel ; she does not feel that her happiness depends uion it. She will rnarry, and then her husband's wages will support her. She may not say so, said the engraver, "but she thinks so, and it spoils her work." Heavily Freighted, and Com bustible. For our life, we cannot imagine how the old Democratic ship can make much headway this season. She has to run over many a bar, and around plenty of snags. The truth is, she carries too much freight for a fast stiller. She has Forrest and Fort Pillow aboard Scmmes and the Alabama, Todd and Libby Prison, Beauregard and his letter to lifarrofe Abolitionists" Wade Hamilton and the Black Horse Cav alry, Buckner, Briek Pomeroy, Henry Clay Dean, and Camp Jackson. Such load will break the back or the staunchest built live-oak craft, and will sink the old Democratic hulk, full forty fathoms deep. It is also said that they have smug gled aboard, and are carefully nursing in the hold, the smouldering emlers of secession. There is danger of fire, then. Such materials cannot be trust ed where there are wax or wood-works. It will be safe to let that craft severely alone. Is it not cruel in Gen. Grant to de cline doing anything to remove the Democratic chagrin about the want, of "enthusiasm" for him on his Western tour? He not only does nothing to se cure the outbreak of that "tremendous enthusiasm" which Presidential can didates are ordinarily so eager to stir up, but he even gocs'so far as to take the most direct, plain and practical way of preventing it. He travels along in the quickest, quietest and most un ostentatious manner; ne makes no display of himself: and. when local reception committees or other public bodies wait upon him, he requests them, in hisprompt and effective man ner, to permit no public manifesta tions, but to aid him by even' means in avoiding them. It is a high recom mendation of Grant for the Presidency that he has learned the art of traveling through the country like a gentleman rather than a - mountebank. JV. Y.

L. ) Railroad Co., Canton, Mo., July 1, 1SGS. j Editor Canton Pbess Dear Sir: Our citizens subscribed to the capi tol stock of the above road in lbGO, and all who paid their subscriptions had certificates of stock issued to them. They, by agreement, trans ferred this stock to the contractors, as an inducement to them to build the road'; and as work was stoped on ac count of the war, the vendors, of the iron, in New York, sold their claim against our company, rather than at tempt a foreclosure 6f mortgage, and the iron was removed by military or der. When this was done, all hope of our successfully reviving the project was lost to all of less hope than my self. Hence, they cared but little about the stock, and had perhaps lost sight of it. I now desire that all who are entitled to it will come to the officers, and it will be re-issued to them for as it now stands, it is tnv individual 1 aiso bou-rhr, at Sheriff's salo, rotdled and franchises ; and although the deed is t6 me, individually,it prop erly belongs to the company, and is and will be treated as such. Now that Ouincv and Lewis county have voted to aid us in building, and upon whose action the matter has of late been suspended, I regard the building of this road as a fixed fact, and that too, not far distant. . To our friends, we will say, be pa tient and hopeful. Building long lines of railroad, is a big thing; anil when mct of the means, or a large portion, has to be drawn from the masses, it takes time and energy, and the people must look at it in the true business light, that the capitol which they put into railroads running through their own countries, has only changed form and purpose, and where a country lends its credit for, say $200, WO, that credit has to bo converted into cash, to be spent among them, and with it, from one to three mill ions of foreign capital; for railroads can not be built without money. The subscription in Scotland county was made on the books of the compa ny. It is binding in law, but best of all, is binding upon the affections of her enterprising and intelligent popu lation; and amid all the conflicting roads urged upon them, they have in variably declared in favor of this road ; but that subscription was made when things were ditlrent, and a change in it is necessary for the interest of the people of Scotland, and also for the company, and just as soon as this change is made, we will be ready to close the contract for building the first section, extending from Quincy bridge to Memphis, sixty-five miles. I have an offer from parties that can do it. I shall ask the court of Scot land to make the change referred to, and then you may lool out for work. Quincy, our neighboring city, of which we all feel proud, has come up to the full extent of the law, in giving $100,000; for that is all she can sub scribe to any one road without a spe cial act of the Legislature of Illinois; and but for that, she would just as readily have voted -00,000, or more. Quincvites have tried going in debt for railroads, and found that her debt has watered and nurtured her growth : and the building of this road opens up to her enterprise one of the largest, finest and most beautiful countries ever sought after by any city. LaG ra nge and Canton, two young and thri ving cities, will grow up from the trade of this beautiful country, and give out as feeders to Quincy, that she may continue it on to her rival neighbors, Chicago and St. Louis. Memphis, the county-seat of Scot land, audone of the handsomest inland towns in the State, with over 1,500 population, will double her population and trade in two years, ami aid in carrying on this reciprocity, and the smaller towns this side, come in to make up tlie grand total. After stopping at Memphis long enough to complete and put in thorugh working order this section, a short stride takes us to the North Missouri Railroad, near Lancaster, only twenty-seven miles, where we strike inex haustible coal-fields of the finest quality, and still a.s pretty and fertile county as any in the State ; then on to the Missouri river. Next Thursday, the Board of Direc tors will meet and put the ball in motion. I fear I have trespassed on your space. Respectfully, H. DAVIS, President. A Democratic Teuton.

The ncr Chinese treaty oontaines Mome impor tant provisions not indicated in last night's dispatches. On the ether hcind in some respects hardly warrants the interpretition given to it by Senators at the first and hasty reading. Tho talk in the diplomatic gallery circio seems to indicate, moreover, that cer tain provisions in the first draft have finally been omitted entirely, cr aro reserved for supplement action. Whil j the treaty, therefore, is not specific in the matter of reciprocity as to articles for exportation and importation, it Is very broad in its provisions fur general commercial intercourse, and is iut-. a ded to bring China fully into the family of civilized nations. Tho following is furnished from what is believed to be entirely reliable sources -as a careful abstract of its chief pro vis ions: The Emperor of China in the treaty declines to cede the right of eminent domain in any of his lands or water to the citizens of foreign countries, but gives them the privelege of residing on the land and trading in certain . waters and will protect citizens of the United States living in his empire from an attack by powers hco-tile t.;': r own country. V e are not to attack the citizens of any other count- living, in hisdojuinions, but may defend our selves if assailed. Tlie Emperor reserves his right jur isdiction over persons and property of American citizens resident In China, unless it is expressly ceded by treaty. He also reserved the right to make, regulations as to trade on his river and in his cities, but stipulates that they shall be made in a liberal spirit. We give him the right to appoint con suls to our ports. They agree that they shall have the same privileges as those of European nations. The widest religious toleration Is granted to citizens of either couniry while residing in the other. Right of persons to change their homes and citizen-ship is warmly recognized, and free migration will be encouraged. We are to pass laws making it high- . penal offense to bring Chinese subjects away from China without voluntary consent, and are to give all the protec tion of our laws to such as coma here to live. Citizens of cither country migrating to the other are to be put upon the most favorable footing with respect to priveleges and unnu nities. We are to join hands with the Em- ' pcror in bringing about a uniform money standard, reciprocal priveleg 's and advantages in the schools of each country, a rid are pledged that no religi ous or political tests are to be applied. We are to allow the EiU'ror to en ploy engineers and .skilled mri.tale in this country wiien he gets ready to build the railaoads and telegraphs, and he indicates generally that 'tho policy of exclusion from his empire is at an end, and that he will soon set on foot an extensive system of internal improvements. It may be added to the foregoing summary, that it professes to givo some of the leading features of a trty which was signed by Me-sr. S'var"l. and Burlingatne, the latter of whom is styled Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary. The treaty was, it is rcjNjrted, laid by Mr. ,mh mcr before ins committee this fore noon.
