Rls.br: Bin: A few days after the nomina tions were made by the convention which assembled in New York on the 4th instant, I had a conversation in Washington City with General Cush ing, of Massachusetts, in which that eminent jurist and politician said : "The simple question to determine at the election is, shall General Grant or Frank Blair be President for the next four years, for if Seymour is elected he will not live a year. The announcement, I confess, star tled me. I knew General Cushing's intimate knowledge of Governor Sey mour, and that he never indulged in an idle remark. I had also heard it frequently stated that the Governor had declined the acceptance of public places in consequence of failing health, but I had not supposed there was any cause for serious apprehensions in re gard to his physical or mental condi tion. Recentlv developed facts, how ever, and the sober deliberate opinions of those who know him intimately, render it not only possible but proba ble, that in the event of his and your election, the responsibility of admin istering tne government would soon devolve upon you. It -therefore oecomes a question of the gravest moment to look back into your record, and ascertain "what manner of man you are," and what security peace and good government would have In you. I propose to per ioral this duty from time to time, at mv leisure moments. The first inquiry which naturallv arises is: Why was the nomination of the New York convention conferred upon you ? Why were all the Demo crats of the West passed by that you might te selected : ot certainly be cause or your .Democracy. If you ever were a Democrat, you were the worst acting one I ever saw. But you never were a Democrat, and have spent your whole life in abusing the Democratic party. You do not now claim to be a Democrat only an op ponent of the "Radicals," the reasons for which will appear in the sequel. You were not made a candidate be cause of your services during the war, though some of your partisans have the foolish audacity to claim for you that those services-were more import ant to the country than Grant's ! And Thomas Ewing, of Kansas, was unan imously presented by the soldiers and sailors who had assembled in New York, to the Belmont convention, as their choice for Vice President. Not only was, their request refused, but they were turned away with cold in difierence. They did not look forward to you .as their candidate in any pos sible contingency. Neither your war re-cord, your talents, or your private virtues had attracted their attention or captivated their admiration. Aside from a few followers in Missouri, no body had ever thought of you in con nection with any great office. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, as it were, you bounded forward to consequence, and to use the language of Junius in one of his letters to the Duke of Grafton : " From whatever origin your influences in this country arises, it is a phenomenon in the his tory of human virtue and understand ing. Good men can hardly believe the fact; wise men are unable to ac count for it ? religious men find exer cise for their faith, and make it the last effort of their piety not to repine against Providence." One who read your letter of accep tance, hardly knows which to be startled at most, the boldness of your assurance or the indecency of your language. Striking out on the direct line of revolution, yet assuming to yourself great purity of purpose and a lofty patriotism, you have betrayed your design by the care you have taken to conceal it. To obscure your own atrocious object you assail Gen. Grant as inviting the people to a " feastof despotism and death," when j-ou are inviting them to a new feast of blood. Even despotism would be preferable to that anarchy you would turn loose among them to pile up the dead on the door-sills of the North for the benefit of the Prestons and the tiamptons and the Forrests, into whose service you have entered, and who brought you forward as a candi date, while their garments are still red with the precious blood of our mar tyred soldiers who fell in defense of their country's nag, which these trai tors were endeavoring to strike down, and the Union with it. It is enough to appal the stoutest heart to look upon this scene of national debasement and shame. Verily there is but one step between this people and another civil conflict. The most noted rebels, are already dictating the national candi dates, and you embraced each other with all the cordiality of old political friends, professeedly entertaining the same views and purposes of govern ment, How would the British states men, how would the statesmen of any country on earth, except our own, ap pear in an assembly with traitars, con federating with them to seize the government, on their joint account and for their joint benefit? One of the most remarkable features of your letter is its total want of mod esty. Hear! Lear! 1, : i ii f y a 1 a vii y t BROWNVILLE, NEBRASKA, The issue," you say, "upon which the contest turns, is clear, and cannot be distorted by the sophistries of our adversaries. They all resolve them selves into the old and ever recurring struggle of a few men to absorb the political power of the nation. Thi3 effort, under every conceivable name and disguise, has always characterized the , opponents of the Democratic party. . Thus you afiirm that the issue upon which the present contest turns Is the old and ever recurring one of a few men to absorb the political power of the nation; and you add, "this effort under every conceivable name and disguise, has always characterised the opponents of the JJemocraiio party." To transpose your language it means this : that the Democratic party has always opposed the wicked schemes of a few men to absorb the political Eower of the nation. How long you ave been in finding this out 1 .The lateness of the discovery is either dis creditable to your intelligence or your honesty. You can hang on whatever horn of the dilema you p'- "--" If the opponents of the Democratic party have always been wrong, as you now allege, and the Democratic party has alwavs been richt. why have you alwavs acted on the wrong side? Why has your whole life been spent in de nouncing the Democratic party? Wh v did vou and the " Blair family " enter into the Van Buren movement of 1848, and assist in defeating Gen Cass, the regular nominee of that party? Why did you, in your speech at Lafayette, Indiana, in 18(30, de nounce the Democrats as the "most miserable party that ever had existed," and Douglas as the " most pernicious demagogue in the United States?" Whv did vou do the same thing in this city, and in every other place where you spoke? Why did you re commend "Helper's Impending Crisis," a work which was generally condemned in the North, and which spread terror and consternation in the South? Why were you so long and apparently so earnestly engaged in overthrowing the slave power of the country and liberating the negro.? If what you now say of his barbarism is true, j our efforts heretofore in his behalf are frauds and lies. Your pur pose, General, is too plain to deceive any one. xou aesire to re-estaousn the slave power of the country, and to i;y me ;oau ai iu ietu ai iuis cau be done peaceably, which you say you do not believe, well. If it requires a revolution to affect it, you say let the revolution come. W hen it does come. you will be the Robspierre of it. Alas, lor your ambition, it na3 o ieaped it self. I. N. Morris. Quincy, 111., July 27th, 18G8. The Richmond Examiner, speaking of "the courage required by the can vass," assails the apologetic tone in which.the leading organs of the party and its prominent members in Cong ress discuss the issues raised oy the New York Convention. "Already' says the Uxamincr "we are not without indications that some of the recognized leaders of the party are terrified at the sound of their own bugle blast." Ite- temrig more particularly to speeches in the Senate it remarks: "If this is the mode in which the platform is to be vindicated and defended, it would be better to hold another Convention and call it in. Betterstrikeallag than defend it in such fashion. And if this is the kind of battte which the Dem ocratic champions are to lead, they mhrht as well abandon the field, for they are whipped already. The South at least, mean something when they protest against negro supremacy re construction as intolerable, and as eternal war and not peace." The Rochester Democrat, says: "Horatio Seymour, a few minutes be fore he was nominated as the Demo cratic candidate for the Presidency, declared that he could not and would not accent the nomination, if tendered him. He has accepted it. He said that he 'could not accept the nomina tion without placing himself and the Democratic party in a false position.' He has done so. He said his honor was pledged not to receive the nomi nation, and upon a question of honor he must stand upon his own convic tions against the world.' He has accepted the nomination by that con vention. He has accepted it. He said that if he became the Democratic candidate for Presidency, he 'should feel a dishonored man.' He accepts the situation. Horatio Seymour stands before the people of the United States, to day, by his own repeated confession, a pledge-breaker and dis honored man.' " A recipe for purifying a room is thus given: Set a pitcher of water in a room, and in a few hours it will have absorbed all the respired gas in the room, the air of which will have be come purer, but the water utterly fil thy. The colder the water is the greater capacity to contain these gases. At ordinary temperatures a pail of water will contain a pint of carbonic acid gas, and several pints of ammo nia. The capacity is nearly doubled by reducing the water to a temperature of ice. Hence, water kept in the room awhile is always unfit for use. For the same reason, the water from a pump should always be pumped out in the morning, before any of it is used. Impure water is more injurious than impure air. "Hcfh." Robert Toombs, who once proposed to call the roll of his slaves under the shadow of Bunker Hill monument, and "Hon." Howell Cobb, who declared that the filthy, starva tion rations at Andersonville were "good enough for the Yankee inva ders," have addressed a meeting at Atlanta, Ga., in which they denounce the reconstruction acts as " revolution ary and unconstitutional." The opin ion of such zealous patriots and admi rers of the constitution deserve to be respected. The Chicago Post says with much force : The last act of the rebels before the war, was to vote for the Democrat ticket. The first act of the rebels, after the war, was to vote for the Democratic ticket. As there was but one step from Democracy into re bellion, there was but one step from rebellion back into Democracy.

Seymour Pbotojraplicd. A correspondent of the n.artford evening rost, writing from Utica, N x ., the home of Horatio Seymour. gives his impressions of that gentle man in a very long letter, from which we extract the following : ' They call Seymour up here lndif- lurenuy " uration Seymour," ,lKash seymour," "Rachel Seymour," and "Old Jelly Fish." The Seymour city residence is a lead-colored brick noose. Y with wide, doubled-chimneyed gables. nere, when he wishes to catch a new fish, or spring a covp d'etat upon any body Seymour acts the part of the intnsuinsr host bv sivinsr a dinner.

His education beeran and ceased when they put a "slate" into his hand. His deportment, street manners, courtesy, or whatever it may be called, is no implanted amiabilitv. but onlv a part of his political restraint, conned like a lesson to take him to the head of the class. His nature is too feeble to make him eminent even in insincerity Strong men go and carry the flag of conservatism, and make enemies by their . earnestness, but Mr. Seymour only waits, in all this time of action he is at Deerfield writine a speech. full of sweetened like warmness, and when his bold associates have stum bled, disagreed, or served his destiny, behold ! from his ambush our placid. philosophic statesman comes to gather the sheaves of other men. His con victions are nil; his power of decision is nihil. His speeches are notable for lago-like tact to awaken discontent and promote public infidelity, while they suggest no relief, for the plain reason that Mr. Seymour has no opinion whatever. He is a timid lawyer, who gave up the profession because he had neither nimble nor profound qualities to give him abid ing place among his competitors, nor moral courage to give nerve for the fair conflicts of wit and education. He quitted the bar as a sick man quits a jarring chamber, not from any deli cacy of organization, but from sheer want of pluck and conscious inapti tude. He is intensely selfish, very stealthy, earnest for power, reckless of fame. He worked like a beaver lor his nomination, as everybody in Utica knows, and he declined it before it was offered to him. As a President, he will narrow and belittle the destiny of the country, truckle to the chanti cleer vanity of the rebel chivalry, make our Northern character con temptible again, monumentalize the rebellion, and carry us into the last ditch of dishonor. "He will be bully ragged by his advisors, give Bill Tweed and Pete Sweeney all the In dian contracts, and make the mighty recollection of the conquering armies mightier by the impotence and servil ity of his succession. Seymour's Popularity. Those who have an idea that Sey mour is immensely popular in New York, and can carry that State when no other democrat would have the ghost of a chance, will do well to con sider the following facts : "In 18.30 Seymour was defeated for Governor, and received 314,3-52 votes; Church, on the same ticket for Lieu tenant Governor, received 318,009 votes ; Church over Seymour, 3,657. " Inl852 Seymour was elected Gov ernor,, and received 264,121 -Church plporod on the same ticket, received 266,147; Church over Seymour, 2,026. "In 1854 Seymour commanded but 156,405 out of nearly 300,000 democratic votes in the State, and his popularity, great as it was on account of his veto ing the Main liquor law, could not se cure his re-election, and he was de feated by Clark, the fusion candidate, by a few votes. " In 1862 Seymour was elected Gov ernor by a vote of 300,649 ; Jones, on the same ticket for Lieutenant Gover nor, was elected by a vote of 306,70-5, and Skinner, Canal Commissioner, by 307,316. Jones over Seymour, 56; Skinner over Seymour, 667. In 1664 Seymour was defeated for Governor, and received 361,264 votes; Jones for Lieutenant Governor, on the same ticket, received 361,849; Jones over Seymour, 58-5. Fenton's (Repub lican) majority this year was 8,293." m New York, August 7. The testimonial, ordered by our Go vernment for presentation to George Peabody, is on exhibition in this city. It is in the form of a symbolical mon ument, with an ebony pedestal three inches wide, eight inches long, two and a half inches high, on which rises a purple velvet block two and a half high and the same in length, on this rises a massive gold plinth, resting on the centre of which is an upright me dal, the disk of which presents an ex cellent medal profile of Mr. Peabody. On the obverse disk is the following in scription, beautifully cut : " The people of the United States to George Peabody, in acknowledgment of his beneficial promotion of univer sal education." On the .right hand of the medallion likeness, rises a female statue repre senting benevolence holding a laurel bough, on the left are two nude fig ures of children, white and black. The white child points proudy to the medallion face, while the black point ing to himself appears to look a3 if he too was to be benefitted. Behind this group rises a three-trunked Pal metto tree, beneath the obverse disk is a collection of the symbols of educa tion in the centre is a mounted geo graphical globe which revolves at the touch ; below this are railroad maps of the United States ; bibles and school books at the right and left ends. In the Democratic procession which welcomed Senator Hendricks to his home a few days ago, was a transpa rency on which was a picture of a don key jeering a negro with the observa tion, "You feel mighty big because you can write;" to which Sambo re plies, " dont't fool wid dis chile me fought nobly." The donkey, of course, stood for the Democratic party. St Joe Herald.

Is a Greek word, which means a flow ing from, and is synonymous with a common cold. A cold ia the head causes a running from the nose ; a cold in the eyes makes them water; & cold in the chest or lungs causes an in creased expectoration ; a cold in the bowels occasions diarrhea. This flow ing, whether from nose, eye3, lungs, or bowel3, is nature's effort to ward off the effects of a previous Injury ; it is essentially a curative Drocess, and ought never to be Interfered with.

Within a month, a ladyM. was attacked with a great itching and j running in' the nose, some ignoramus' advised her to use a certain kind of. snuff, to "dry it up;" it had the effect! in a few hours, and she was charmedlllte with the result ; she thought it a won-nea derful medicine; that n;rhtphe was attacked with j.sthm?., r.'l.i:h cnr-fln--";! her to her bed for two weeks, to say Li nothing of the distressing sufferings j wmcn miea the interval, uay audi night. II A gentleman complained of a cold in the head, with sick headache ; some one advised him to have buckets of cold water poured on the top of his head, which was followed, by a wel come relief: the next day he com- Elained of a sore throat, which trou led him as long a3 he lived. Many persons have diarrhea as a con sequrtice of a cold ; they cannot rest until they "take something" to "check it," with the certain result of its falling on the liver, to end in a " bil ious attack," if not on the lungs, to cause pneumonia, or pleurisy, or other more serious form of disease. A gentleman had a cold in the head which affected his hearing; it was ig- norantly tampered with, and appa rently cured; but the eyes began to complain shortly after, to remedy which he 6pent two years and a thou sand dollars under the most eminent Allopaths and Water-Cure, with no efficient result ; and his eyes are as troublesome to-day as they were some ten years ago. All " flo wings," " run nings," etc., are the result of what, in common parlance, is a "humor in the blood," and nature Is endeavoring to "run it off," but our reckles3 and ig norant indifferences thwart her in her efforts, and bring on greater calami tics. . In all catarrhs, chronic or acute, long or short, a wise physician will do nothing to stop or repress, but will use means to cause a greater activity of the liver, and prescribe an unstimula ting and cooling diet, warmth and ju dicious exercise. For ourselves we would give physic a wide berth. If we had a " flowing from," a catarrh, a cold, all of which means the same thing in nature and essence, we would let it flow, and thus have the system relieved of an enemy, Uvhose presence it will not tolerate. But there are three other things which may be done to very great advantage, because they would expedite the cure. 1. Keep the body very comfortably warm by an available means, espe- ciallv the feet. 2. Take a good deal of exercise in the open air, to the extent of keeping up a very slight perspiration for sev eral hours during the twenty-four. 3. Live on light, loosening, cooling food moderate amounts such as water-gruel, crusts of bread, stewed fruits, ripe berries, and nothing else until entirely well. llaWi Journal of Health. A IVevr Mulch for tbe Grape. I find leached ashes and cut (green) grass the best mulch I can use.- The ashes gather moisture, and repel heat (by their color). Grapevines that were mulched at the commencement of the drouth are doing finely. The moisture extends not only to the sur face, but into the grass (mulch). Ihis has been moist since it has been ap plied, some three weeks. It is partly rotten, so that the ground derives nu triment from it. A shower now would aid this effectually. Thus the mulch is both protective and enriching, and the nutrimentof a kind that is wanted, the vegetable or carbonaceous. A good mulch in the summer, and a coat in the fall of this kind, is an l want on fair ox even moderately poor soil, pro viding always the soil is in a healthy, friable condition. 1 also want clay to a considerable extent, inen close pinching in the start, with plenty of room on the trellis, and if the year is not a bad one particularly a wet one I Bhould have fruit. A drouth, like the present, with heat unexampled, seems a benent rather than a nurt. And should the wet set in, here is extent on the trellis that gives plenty of air and takes what sun there is. I thus am defying the drouth, and fear little more the wet season. But for a drouth, cut grass and leached ashes are a reli ance that it does you good to contem plate. The ashes also are a benefit, manurially ; it requires but a thin coat, so as to cover well the grass. It 13 time yet to benefit vines by the application. First, mellow the soil; spread the grass several inches thick ; sprinkle with water, and apply the ashes. Weeds or garden refuse, are a good substitute for grass. F. G. Letter Irani Hon.

The Buffalo Commercial, speaking of Horatio Seymour, says: " The late Dean Richmond, the Warwick of the Democracy in this State, thoroughly disliked him, couldn't sneak of him without evincing a sturdy disgust for the two-faced demagogue. ' He's a humbug, boys, a d d humbug,' the the Dean was wont to say, when talk ing with those who possessed his con fidence. Don't bet your money on bim, boys, says Richmond, to his Cen tral.

The sudden death of General C. G. Slalpine (Miles O'Reilly) will occasion sincere and profound grief in every part of the land. A gallant soldier, an accomplished gentleman, a man of warm and genial nature, he had made hosts of friends by personal inter course ; but he was far more widely known by his writings, under thenon de plume of " Private Miles O'Reilly," and as editor of the New York Citizen, Some of his poems will be remembered and quoted as long as the memory of the Avar lingers. General Halpine was elected City Register of XeW York by the Democrats, and was a man of large influence among them. The Citizen was a Democratic paper, but was edi ted with good sense and moderation, and gave no sympathy to the disloyal element which controls that party. We printed lately its sharp comments upon the ticket and platform set up by the New York Convention, which showed that the Citizen and the War Democrats, for whom it spoke, wrould be likely to give to Seymour anything but a hearty support, and while the . paper nominally sustained the party, P El it is probable that the private influsiown the Rebellion. ence of General Halpine would have been not at all to the advantage of the ticket. As a writer, a soldier and a gentleman, his death will be greatly regretted. A Copperhead Lie. General Howard is a soldier and a Christian, whose word was neverques tioned. Seeing it asserted in a sjwech by the Hon. B. M. Bover, of Pennsyl vania, that he (Howard) had estimated the cost of the Freedmen's Bureau for one year at :Mi,uy-i,4ou, he leu con strained to rebuke the lie. Not only had he made no such statement, but the total disbursement of that bureau, up to the first day of this year, were less than six millions of dollars ; and the entire expense, includingmed ical and commissary stores, and the pay of army officers detailed to serve in the field, fall considerably below ten mil lions of dollars. " And, (adds General Howard,) a large part of these expen ditures were for the benefit of South ern whites, reduced to poverty by the rebellion." When shall we see these facts and figures going the rounds of the Copper head journals. New York Tribune. The Yoiing: Convert. Considerable surprise is manifested by the old wheel-horses of Democracy, that General Blair phould go as far in advance of Seymour in firing the Dem ocratic heart. In Missouri, the Demo crats who denounced him, hurled stale hen-fruit at him, and threatened to tar and feather him, as he made eman cipation speeches here in 18-38 and 'o9, r i a, a; T . 141. iairiy open meir antique wnu amazement to hear the old gospel of peace fall, in all its pristine purity, from Frank's lips. 'Tis true that Blair now excels ye all, O men of the faith once fought for by the saints ; but it is your duty to stop gaping with verdant wonder, and diligently strive to grow in grace. St. Paul, the young convert, was ten times more zealous, and fifty times more tol erant than the gentle John, like all young converts, shoots far ahead of the old saints. St. Joe Herald. A Western paper contains the fol lowing advertisement: "Wants a situation, a practical printer, who i3 competent to take charge of any depart ment in a printing and publishing house. Would accept a professorship in any of the academies. Has no ob jection to teach ornamental painting ana jH.-uuiiiiisuip, geometry, trigonom etry, and many other sciences. Is particularly suited to act as a pastor to a small evangelical church, or as a lo cal preacher. He would have no ob jection to form a small but select class of interesting young ladies to instruct in the highest branches. To a dentist or a chiropodist he would be invalua ble, as he can do almost anything. Would cheerfully accept a position as l . . . r t i- i i uu.'vi ur it'iior smgur in a cnoir. v ouiu board with a family , if decidedly pious. For further particulars, inquire at Brown's Saloon." When Vallandigham was arrested for treason, Seymour wrote : "If this proceeding is approved by the Government, and sanctioned- by the people, it is not merely a step to ward revolution it is revolution. It will not only lead to military despot ism it establishes military despotism. If it is upheld, our liberties are over thrown.. The safety of our person?, the security of our property, will hereafter depend upon tbe arbitrary wills of such military rulers as may be placed over us, while our constitu tional guarantees will be broken down." Vallandigham, the traitor, repaid that letter of Seymour's by proposing him -as the Democratic nominee for President. The Democrat papers are troubled about General Grant's Bpeeches. So was Buckner at Fort Donelson, and Pemberton at Vicksburg: and rebels generally have been sorely troubled by 1 utcui vv j speeches. them ever since he besran -to mas e SI J , I ! r t .! i 1 1 ) l 3 f.'l a nop. rJ .

Vallandigham does not show civ.ch' respect for President Johnson when he says that Horatio Sevmour, nxt March, " will go into the White House and cleanse it." The Iiiclimond Enquirer and Kram incr says that the white men of the Southern States " have 5 d'f when they could use the ln'h t, and if God, in his anger, permit thr nectKj to arise, they will see it ojaiii." The hall in which the late Demo cractic Convention of Kansa3, at To keka. was he!3. was festooned with .lone Rebel flag, and one belonging to a Colored Union Regiment. They were entwined with each other. The Copperheads are Tonting that . ex-President Pierce and Fillmore are for Seymour; but they take care to omit the fact that the extinguished President and Vice President of the rebellion (Davia and Stephens) are on the same side.

Theeditorof The Phiknh lhi.t rrrst says that he received from the late Gen.

A vivid recol lection of an experience with stale erir in that city in ISoO, probably influ enced him to pass on, th'-ugh ho should also have remcmbcrtd that those who administered the eggs then are his supporters now. The Columbu Journal sayn: " Tho last act of the Rebels, before the war, was to vote the Democratic ticket. The first act of the ReWK after the War, was to vote the Demo -ru t i o t i -ki't. As there was but one ste p from De mocracy to rebellion, there was hut one step from rebellion back into De mocracy. At the Democratic meeting m West field, Mass., on Thursday evening of last week, the Hon. Henry Fuller pre sided, and introduced tho speaker n, "Gen. Grant!" and, after the audi ence had given cheers for the Republi can nominee, and roars of I iughtrr sl the blunder, the President corrected himself "Gen. Stiles, I mean." Tho Rebels will soon be fighting among themselves. Gen. Preston, of Kentucky, denies that Wade Hninp-' ton or any other Southern man piaot 1 the wo?ds "unconstitutional, revoiu- . tionary, and void" In the Democratic platform. He said it wan placed in I ;. a Fre? Soil Northerner. How will Wade Harripton stand being called u liar. . A New York correspondent of tf; Chicago Journal, say3 that Seei-fta-Stanton will take the stump for Grnrft and Colfax. The first speech T;i!U delivered at Cleveland. The ?&o cor respondent says that Casiu.-r M. Clay,' Minister toRu?sia, will remain in that country until Spring, thus Grant and Colfax will be deprived of his services on the stump. . Major Evans, an Indiana officer, nfc a recent meeting in Indianapolis in the course of a speech, paid tli.it tin? only independent work lie had ever known Blair to do a? an army officer, was his march down through Lower Tennessee and Mississippi, whf-n Grant was besieging Richmond. Wrhen asked by Grant if b Ixtd t tken any prisoners, he replied "N, but I have burned a d d ? fcht of li'm:?, and captured all th' nigger." The Pittsburgh Conwirn Vsays. that "Gen. J. Bowman Sweitzer, who, served with distinguish 1 gallantry to the close of the war, and was tbe Dem ocratic nominee for Ccm:rres ( w o yen rs ago in opposition to Gen. Moorhcad, has declared his intention to support his old leader Gen. Grant, and will take occasion at an early day to pre sent his reasonsto the public." When Grant calls the roll in November mo-t; of hi3 old conxrades will answer, "Here." TheNew York correspondent of tho Philadelphia ledger, says: "The mos-t interesting politaf ru mor of the day is that I r.

The Democratic politician were not a little perplexed by thu movement.

But in ntiwer to this, the more knowing ones on the other side intimate that, if they will have patience awhile lonj-r Presi dent Johnson himself will Le follow- i ing the example of his Secrc tarv "f ; State.
