Morgan and others, Com* , mtttev, &c , &c. &?NTX.BMBN?When, in tho City of Now York, on tho 11th ult.r in tho prosonco of a ?tVt?t multitudo, on behalf- of tho- National * Domooratio Convention, you toudo?ed to mo its unanimous uomjuation as thoir oandidato for tho office of Prosidont of the Unitod States, I stated 1 had no words <( adequato to oxpross any gratitude for tho good will and kiudncss . "which that body had shown to mo. Its nom ination was unsought and unoxpootoc1. It Was my ambition to tako an aotivo part, from whioh I am now oxoluded, in tho groat strug gle going on for tho restoration of good gov ernment, of poaoc and prosperity to our coun try. Put I havo boon caught up by tho , whelming tide whioh is bearing us on to a great politioal chango, and I find myself una ble to roaiat its pressure. You havo also giv OU mo ? copy of tho resolutions put forth by tho Convention, showing its position upon all 't&? groat questions whioh now agitato tho ?oountry. As tho prosiding ofiioor of that Con vention, I am familiar with thoir scopo aud import ; as ono of its raombors I am a party to thoir terms. Thoy aro iu aooord with my yiews, and I stand upon thorn in tho contest upon whioh wo aro now ontoring, and I shall strivo to carry them out in future, wherever I may bo piacod, in politioal or privato lifo." I then sta tod that I would send you theso words of aocoptauoo in a letter, as is tho ous tomary form. I see no reason, upon reflec tion, to ohango or qualify tho terms of my Approval of tho resolutions of tho Convcntiou. I havo dolayod the mero formal act of oom munioating to yo\i in writing what I thus publicly said, for the purpose of seeing what light the aotion of Congress would throw upon ' .the interests of tho oountry. Its acts since the adjournment of tho Convention show au alarm lest a ohango of political power will give to the pooplo what thoy ought to havo, a olear statement of what has been dono with the monoy drawn from thorn during the past eight yoars. Thoughtful mon feol that there havo boon wrongs in the financial manage ment which havo boon kept from the publio knowlodgo. Tho Congressional party has not only allied itself with military power, whioh is to bo brought to boar directly upon the elections in many States, but it also holds it self in porpotual session, with the avowod purpose of making such laws no it shall see fit, in view ?f tho elcotions whioh will take place within a fow weoks. It did not, there fore, adjourn, but took a recess, to meet again if its partisan interests shall dornend its re assembling. Novor bofore in tho history of our country has Congress thus taken a mena cing attitudo toward its electors. Under its influence, somo of the States organized by its agents are proposing to deprive tho people of the right to voto for Presidential doctors, aud the first bold stops are takon to destroy the rights of suffrage. It is not strange, there fore, that thoughtful men sec in such action the proof that there is, with those who sUapo the policy of tho Republican' party, motivos stronger and deeper than the mere wish to hold politioal powor j that there is a dread of some oxposuro whioh drives them on to nots so desperate and so impolitic Many of tho ablest leaders and journals of the Republican party havo oponly deplored the violeuao of Congressional aotion and its tendoney to kcop up discord in our oountry. " The groat intorosts of our Union demand poaoo, order, and a return to those industrial pursuits without whioh wc cannot maintain tho faith or honor of bur govornmont. The minds of business mon aro porploxed by un certainties. The hours of toil of our laborers ?re lengthened by tho oosts of living m?do by tho direct and indircot oxaotions of govorn jmont. Our people aro harrassod by tho hoavy and frequont dcn^npds of tho tax-gatherer.? Without distinction* of party, thoro is a strong fooling iu ftvor of that lino of notion which shall restore order and confidence, and shall lift otT the tardone whioh' now hinder and , vox tho industry of tho country. Yet nt this mor cut ttto?? in powor havo tfrrown into th,o Senato Chamber aud Congressional Ilnll now olomeeis of discord and violence Mon havo ibeen admitted as representatives of somo of Aho Southern States, with the declaration up on their lips that thoy cannot livo .;n tho fitatos thoy oloim to represent without mi'Uta ry proteotion. Theso mon aro to make laws for tho North as well as tho South, These qucu, who, a fow days since, wcro seeking as .euppliants that Congress would givo them power within thoir respective States, nro to day tho masters and controllers of tho actions O? those bodies, Entering thorn with minds filled with passions, their first domande havo t)ccn that Congress Mutdl lock upon tho States f/om which thoycemo as in conditions of civil War r that tho majority of .thoir populations, ombnoing thoir intelligence, shall bo treated as publio enemies ; that military forces shall ? be kopt up nt tho cost of tho pcoplo of the North, and that there shall bo no pcaco and ordor at tho South save that whioh ia made 'by arbitrary power. Every intelligent man knows that these mon owo thoir scats in Con gress to the disorder in tho So^th ; every - man knows that thoy not only* owo thoir pres ent positions to disorder, Auk that 07cry mo tivo. springing frollilo, love of power, pf t?* of s desire for" v^ennoo, prompts then to kcop tho South in anarchy. While that exists, they aro iudopondont of tho wills or wishes of thoir follow-oitizons. Whilo confu sion reigns, thoy aro tho disponsors of tho prolits and tho honors which grow out of a govornmont of moro forco. These mon aro now ploood in positions whero thoy oannot only urgo their Views, of polioy, but whoro thoy can cuforco them. When others shall ho admitted in this mnnnor frota tho remain ing Southorn States, although thoy will havo in truth r?0 constituents, thoy will have moro V'owor in tho Souato than a majority of tho pcoplo of this Union living in nino of the groat Statos. In vain tho wisost members of tho Republican party protested ngainet tho polioy that lod to this result. "Whilo tho ohiofs of tho lato robollion havo submitted to tho results of tho war, and aro now quiotly engage ? in usoful pursuits for tho support of theuisolvos and thoir families, aud aro trying by tho foroo of thoir oxamplo to load back tho pooplo of tho South to tho order and indus try, not only essential to their woll-boing, but to tho greatnoss and prosperity of our common country, wo eoo that those who, without abili ty or influence, have boon thrown by tho ag itations of civil convulsion into positions of j honor and profit, aro striving to keep alive tho passions to which thoy owe thoir eleva tion. And thoy olnmorously insist that thoy aro tho only frionda of our Union?a Union that oan only havo a euro foundation in fra ternal regard and a common desire to promoto tho poaoo, the ordor and tho happiness of all sections of our couutry. Events in Congress since tho adjournment of the Convention, havo vastly increased tho importance of a political victory by thoso who are seeking to bring baok economy, simplici ty and juatioo iu tho administration of our national affairs. Many Republicans have horetoforo clung to their party who havo re gretted tho oxtromce of violenco to which it has run. They havo ohcrishod a faith that whilo the action of their political frionds has been mistaken, thoir motives have been good. Thoy must now soc that the Republican party is in that condition that it oannot carry out a wise and peaceful policy, whatcvor its motives may he. It is a misfortune, not ouly to a country, but to a governing party iteolf, when its aotiou is unchockod by any form of oppo sition. It has been tho misfortuno of tho Re publican party that the ovents of tho past few years havo givon it so muoh power that it has been ahlo to shaoklo tho Executive, to trammel tho judiciary, and to carry out tho viows of tho most unwise and violent of ita members. When this stato of things exists in any party, it has over boon found that tho sober judgmonts of its ablest leaders do not oontrol. Thero is hardly an ablo man who helped build up tho Republican organization who has not within the past three years warned it against its oxecssos, who has not been horno down aud forood to givo up his convictions of what tho interests of tho coun try oalled for; or, if too patriotic to do this, who has not been drivon from its ranks. If this has not boon the oaso hcrotoforo, what will bo its action no-v with this new intusion' of men who, without a decent respect for tho views of those who had just given thoin their positions, begin thoir; legislativo career with calls for arms, with demands that their States shall be regarded as in a condition of civil war, and with a declaration that they arc roady and anxious to degrade tho Prosidont of tho United Statos whonovcr thoy naii persuade or forco Congress to bring forward now articles of impoaohment ? Tho Ropublioan party, as well as wo, aro intorcstcd in putting sorno ohcok upon this violenco. It must bo cloar to ovory tkiukinj. man that a division of political powor tonds to ohcok tho violonoo of party action, and to assure tho poaoo and good ordor of sooioty. Tho clootion of a Democratic oxooutivo and a majority of Democratic members to tho House of Representatives would not givo to that par ty organization the powor to mako auddon or j violent changes, but it would sorvo to ohcok thoso oxtrotno measures whioh havo boon do plorcd by tho best mon of both political or ganizations. Tho rosult would most cortninly load to that peaceful restoration of tho Union and ro-cstablishuiont of fratornal relationship whioh tho oountry desiros. I sm suro that tho best mon of tho Ropublioan party doploro as deeply as I do tho spirit of violonoo shown by thoso reoontly admitted to scats in Con gross from the South, Tho condition of civil war whioh thoy contemplato must bo abhor rent to ovory right-thinking man. I havo no more porsonal wishes whioh mis lead my judgment in regard to tho ponding oleotion. No man who has woighod and measured tho duties of tho offioo of Prosidont of tho United Statos, oan fail to bo impressed with tho oaros and toils of him who is to meet | its demands. It is not merely to float with popular our ron is, without a polioy or a pur poso. On tho oontrary, whilo our constitu tion gives just woight to tho publio will, its distinguishing foaturo is that it Books to pro tcot tho rights of minorities. Its groatost glory is that it puts rostrainte upon powor.? It givo? force and form to thoso maxims and principles of oivil liberty for whioh tho tnar tyra of frcodom havo struggled through ages. It doolar? the right of tho pooplo " to bo so cure in their persons, housos aud papers, against unreasonable searches and soizuros. ThU Congress shall mako no law rospooting au establishment of roli?ion or tho froo oxor oise thereof, or abrid#u>g tho freedom of] spoeoh or of tho press, or the right of tho j pooplo to petition for roHress of grievances. It secures tho right of ? spoody and publie | trial by au impartial jury." No m?n oan rightfully outer upon tho du ttcs of ilio Prosidoutiftl-office, unless he ? not! only willing to carry out tho wishes of tho pooplo oxprosscd in constitutional way, but is also proparod to stand up for' tho rights of minorities. Ilo must bo ready to uphold tho freo oxorciso of roligion. < must donou'noo moasures whioh would wroug porsonal or homo rights, or tho religious conscience of tho humblest oitizon of tho land. Ho must maintain, without distinction of creed or na tionality, nil tho privileges of Amorloan oiti zonship. Tho oxporioncc of every publio man who has beon faithful to his trust teaches him that no ouo can do tho duties of tho offioo of Pros idont unless ho is roady not ouly to undorgo tho faleohoods and abuso of the bad, but to suffer from tho censure of tho good who aro mielod by projudioos and misrepresentations. Thoro are no attraotious in euoh positions whioh docoivo my judgment, when I say that a groat chango is going ou in the publio mind. Tho mass of tho Republican party aro moro thoughtful, tomporato and just than thoy wero during tho o xo i temente whioh nttondod the progress and close of tho civil war. As tho onorgy of tho Pomocrailo fiarty springs from thoir dovotion to their causo and not to their candidates, I may with propriety speak of tho faot that never in the political history of our oountry has the action of-any like body boon hailed with euoh universal and wide spread enthusiasm as that which has boon shown in relation to the position of tho Na tional Domooratio Convention. With this tho candidates had nothing to do. Had any others of those namod boon seleotod, this spirit would havo beon porhape moro marked. The zeal and energy of tho oonsorvativo masses spring from a desiro to make a change of po litical policy, and from tho oonGdeuco that thoy can carry out their purpose. In this faith they are strongthouod by tho oo-oporation of tho great body of thoso who served in tho Union army and navy during tho war. Having given nearly sixteen thous and commissions to tho offiocrs of that army, I know their viows and wishes. Thoy do rnend tho Union for whioh thoy fought. The largest meeting of these gallant soldiors which ovor assembled was held in New York, and indorsed tho action of tho National Conven tion. In words instinot with moaning, thoy called upon tho government to stop in its pol icy of hato, discord and disunion, and in torms of forvid cloquonoo they demanded tho resto ration of tho rights and libortics of tho Amor ioan people. When thoro is euoh accord between thoso who proved thomsolves bravo and solf-saori fining in war, and thoso who are thoughtful and patriotic in council, I cannot doubt wc shall gain a politioal triumph which will re store our Union, bring baok peaoo and pros perity to our land, and will give us once moro the blessings of a wiso, ooouowical and hon est government* I am, geUtlomou, truly ours, &c., HORATIO SEYMOUR.

During tho horrors of tho Fronoh rovolu tiou, a tradesman at Lyons, of tho name of Griwt, a man of mild and simple manuors, was brought iu ouo ovouiug, ecntouood, among numbor of othors, to porish tho noxt morniug. Thoso who woro already in tho oavo prossod round tho now comor to sympa thise with him, to oonsolo him, and to fortify him for tho stroko ho was about to onoountor ? but Grivot had no need of oonsolation, ho was as calm and oomposod as if ho had boon in his house. ? domo and sup with us," said they, u this is tbo last inn in tho journey of life; to-morrow wo shall arrive at our long homo." Griyot aoooptcd tiio invitation, and suppod hoartily. Desirous to sleep as woll, he rotircd to tho romotost corner of tho oavo, and, burying himsolf in his straw, soomod not to bostow a thought on his approaching fato. Tho moruiug arrived j tho othor prisonors wore tiod togothor and led away without Griv et's per?oiving anything, or boing porooivod. Feet asleep, covolopod iu his straw, he noi thor saw nor was soou. Tho door of the cavo was lookod ; and when ho awoko awhile after, ho was iu tho utmost astonishment to find himself in perfect solitude. Tho day passed, and uo now prisoners woro brought into tho oavo. Tho noxt was tho dooado, whon tho judges did uot sit, nor did they, for somo oth or ronson, sit tho following day. Grivot re- j mainod all tho time in his solitude, subsisting on some scattered provision whioh ho found about the cave, aud slocping every night with tho samo tranquiltty as tho fir?t. Ou tho ovon'ng of the fourth day tho turnkey bro ..ght In a new prisoner, and bcoamo as ouc thundor-struok on sooing a man, or, as ho almost behoved it, a spirit in tho cavo. Ho onlled tho soutioels, who iustantly appeared. " Who art thou ?" said ho to Grivot, " and how oomcst thou boro ?" Grivot answered that he had bo? there for days : " Doubt less," ho added, " when my companions in misfortune were led away to death, I slept and heard nothing, and no ono thought to awaken me. It was my misfortuno, einoo all would now havo boon past, whorcas I havo lived with tho prospect of death always before mo } but tho misfortune will now undoubtedly bo ropairod sinoo I sco you. " The turnkey hastened to tho tribunal to oxcuso himself for what had happoncd. Grivot was summoutd boforo it; ho was intorogatod anow. It was a momont of lenity with the judges, and ho wa3 at liberty. Au instance onoo occurred of ceoapo aftor condemnation whioh deserves to bo mention od, because tho fact is both reiuarkablo and well attested. A number of persons woro re turning back to prison after sentonco had beou passed upon them that thoy woro to be guillotined the next morning. Thoy wcro, acoording to oustom, tied by tho hands, two and two, with a cord, and woro escorted by a guard. In their way thoy woro ru?f: by a wo man, who, with loud crios, reclaimed her hus band, assorting thr.t ho was a good patriot^ and had boon unjustly oondomnod *, and she could bring proofs of hie patriotism, known to all tho world. It so happoncd that the judge who had eondemnod tho prisoners pasa od by at thr.t moment, and, bearing tbc clam ors of the wouion, inquired what could occa sion thorn. This boing oxp'ainod, and tho judge vory happily boing in a more mcroifu humor thau usuai, said that a good patriot must not bo executod, and if the woman's as sertions woro truo, it was vory right that her husband should be released. Ho nooording ly ordered tho man to bo unbound and brought to him, whon he oeked ?ovoral ques tions respooting his patriotism, and what he had dono for tho good of the republic ; to all whioh ho rcocivod answers ao eatiefaotory, that ho declared him to bo a good sans-cul otto, unjustly condemned, and ordorod him to bo sot at liberty on tho spot. This affair, as may bo easily imagined, soon drew, a numbor of pooplo togothor, so that tho prisonors woro minglod promisouously with tho multitudo. Tho oompauion with whom tho man had boon yokod finding himsolf single and unob served, tho oyos and attontion of all presont being now othorwiso ongaged, thought that a favorable opportunity of csoapo was presen ted ; thrusting, theroforo, tho baud whioh had tho cord round it into his waistcoats, that the cord might not bo soon, whioh would havo bo trayod him, he, with groat ooolnoss mado his way through tho orowd as if ho had boon a spootator only, drawn among them by curiosi ty. Whon ho found himsolf at liberty, ho ho hastonod to tho port, whioh wns not far off, and jumping into a boat, ordcrod tho boat man to row in all basto to a plaoo whioh ho named at tho other ond of tbo port. Tho boatman obeyod ; but hero a difficulty aroso whioh had not immediately oqourrod to the fugitivo, that ho had not so muoh as a sol in hie pookot to pay his faro ; for whon any ono was arrostod, whatovor money ho might have about him, or anything oleo of value, was im mediately takon away as conflsootod proportv. What was* to bo dono in a situation'so ombar rassing ? Ho did not loso his prosonoe of mind; but, fooling in his pookot, said, with a woll-affootod surprise, that it was vory un lucky, but bo had-forgotton his purse, and had not any money with him. Tho boatman bo* gatt to swear and mako a groat outcry, saying that this was all a mere oxouso, that ho was a cheat, and wanted to make him work with* but being paid. Tho fugitivo thon, as if a ?uddoi? rccollootion had struok him, put hie baud in his pookot, and drow out tho cert? - from which, during tho passago, ho had oon trivod tol disougago it : " lloro, my frioud," said ho, V tako this j I by no moans, wish to ohcat you j I cannot toll how it has happened that I havo oouio out without mouoy ; but this oord, if you will aooopt it, is worth moro than your fare." " Ob, yes, yes?tako it, take it," said a number of other boatmon who woro stauding by, " tho citizen is right, tho oord is a good cord, aud worth triple your faro ; I dou't boliovo ho moant to ohoat, ho look? liko an houost oititon." Tho boatman took tho advice, and accepted tho oord : and the liberated victim walked off to tho house of a friond in tho neighborhood, whore he re mained oonocalod tho rent of tho day. When night oame, ho made his osoapo from the iowu, his friond furnishing him with monoy and othor noocssaries for his journey ; uor had many days elapsed boforo ho was eafo out of tho republic [From tho Aniorloan F armor.] Work for the Month It is woll for tho farmer that during the heats of August ho may betake him in a meas ure to tho shade, and abato tho labors of the field. Tho harvest of grain and hay boing finished, and tho working of tho corn and pota to orops dono, while thoro will till bo onough to do, it will not press so urgoutly as in the months past. Cornfield.?As thoro will bo no futthor work in tho ?ornfiold, lot it bo woll secured ngainst intruding stock. Potatoes.?Tho late potatoos should be worked till they bloom, wbon tho cultivation must bo finished by a slight earthing. Turnips.?Tho fall orop of ruta bagas should now be sown, if not already done.? Tho weather and condition of the ground hav ing been so favorable generally that it is to bo hoped they are by this timo growing woll After coming out of tho ground, a dressing of ammoniatcd suporphosphate and plastor will foroe thorn rapidly away from tho fly.? When out of danger of tho fly, let thorn bo unsparingly thinucd. Fow oiroumstanoos tond moro to tho diminution of this orop than the temptation to leave too many flourishing plants standing. They must bo kopt scrupu lously olear of grass while young. Sow whito turnips from tho 10th to tho 20th. Rye ?Tho propor season for sowing this orop is about the 1st Septombcr. The ground should therefore bo got in readiness during this month. On very light soils it may pay bettor than a orop of wheat, but it is not a favorite crop on good wheat lands, from ita tendency to grow as a weed among wheat. Its most important uso gonerally is, in our opinion, as a green crop for early spring uso. It is fit for outting two weeks before-olover, and the farmer who valuos properly greon food for his stock in early spring, will not bo wil ling to dispense with it. Sown- for this pur. pose it should be seeded thiokly?two bushels to tho aero?and woll manured. Whedt.?At tho earliest timo practicable, the preparation of the clover field, or oat stub, bio, should bo begun, as tho main rolianco for the orop of wheat. If it bo oat stubble, it is a groat mistake to haul out the manure from the yards, as wo havo often soon, and Spread beforo plowing. The plowing should bo dono first, bcoausc tho oarlicst period should be availed of, lest the ground becomo too hard, and also bcoausc the better praotioo is to put the manure on the surfaoo aftor plough ing. If well turned early in the scaeon, tho ground will not need only a superficial work ing at seed timo. Let *thero bo no fear of ploughing as dcop as three good horses and a good plough oau turn it well, unless thoro bo something poisonous iu tho subsoil, which is not ofton tho ooee. Tho neoossity for early eoedlng becomes ovory yoar more apparent; and some of the hardy red whoate may be sown the first week in September. Cattle Peas.?The thinner portions of a field, or suoh as ncod to be manurod heavily for any purposo, should havo tho oattle pen nod upon thorn at this soapon with movablo pens, tho bottoms of whioh should be covered with ooarso litter of any kind. Movtjd onoo a fortnight, muoh ground may bo m?nurod boforo tho season for housing at night. Ma terials for composta may bo gathorod at this season with advantage Threshing Grain.?It is woll to havo the grain thrcshod oarly, whether wo moan to take advantage of tho oarly markot or not. For many years we havo bcon warning those who uso maohines to take suoh precaution? as would mako nooidonts almost impossible Tho wheels should bo entirely boxed up) nnd when it is necessary to stop for oiling or othor purposo, the leathern band should bo thrown off, so that thoro oan bo no movement 'inado tiil overything is in roadinoss.
