HORATIO SEYMOUR.

The Sage of Utica Warns the Country Against What the' Republicans Calk Nationalism. A Dissection of Gen. Garfield’s Theories as to This Election and of His Plans if He Should Win. [Extracts from a Speech Delivered at Utica, N. Y.J Fellow-Citizens: “It must not be forgotten that this Government is no longer the simple machinery it was in the early days of the re- , public. The bucolic age of America is over. The interests the Government has to deal with are no longer those'of a small number of agricultural communities with here and there a commercial town. They are the interests of nearly 50,000,000 of people spread over an im- ' rnense surface, with occupations, pursuits and ‘ industries of endless variety and great magnitude ; large cities with elements of population ' scarcely known here •in the early days, and all I the producing aspirations and interests so j pushing, powerful and complicated in their nature and so constantly ap]>eahiig to U» Government, rightfully or wrongfully, that Un- , reqairemente of Htat<-*man.>hip dvmanded in thin age are far different from those which autfi.ixl a century ago.''

This declaration made by

our farm products in Europe and has lifted all kinds of business from the depression which a short time since was felt by all pursuits. The ability to send what we make and raise to the markets of the world at cheap rates is of more importance to the North than to the South. The products of the latter are of a kind th.:t do not suffer from the competition of other countries. Europe must have the cotton of the South. Increased cost of transportation does not prevent their sale ; it adds to cost to the consumer. The fanners and manufacturers of the North have to compete with those who make or raise the same products in the markets which we seek to gain. A small difference in the cost of carrying will prevent our grain and provisions from going abroad. We find that many fair-minded men receive the terms nation and national with favor because they have vague ideas that they will give more strength to the General Government and ■ security to our Union. We all seek to make our Government strong. We all pray that our Union may stand forever. But it is a fatal error to suppose that the strength of a Government grows out of the amount and not the beneficence of its power. There is truth in the maxim that the government is best which governs least. That which gives the largest measure of freedom, rights of conscience, of persons and of property. That government is the most enduring which lifts up its citizens into a sense of the right and duties of their positions, which trains them to watch and guard the public welfare, which makes them bold, free and enterprising, and imbues them with the proud feeling that government Ix-longs to them and not they to government Let us turn our eyes from this system which thus gives strength and duration to the despotisms of the world where all jurisdictions are in the hands of monarch*, upheld by all the power* of the state, its treasure* and its arum s.

and excitements of the strife they see more clearly than other men the value of obedience to laws and the duty of sacrificing all things for their country’s good. It was in this school that Washington learned the grand duty of laying down his sword and retiring to private life when the world thought he would claim a crown as his reward. This act. so constantly referred to in other lands as well as our own, gave him his immortality. It was in tha same school, under like influences, that in the hour of victory Jackson curbed and restrained his fiery spirit and submitted to injustice and indignity because it was imposed upon him by a legal tribunal. “If called to the Presidency I should deem it my duty to resist, with all my power, any attempt to impair or evade the full force and effect of the constitution, which, in every article, section and amendment, i» the supreme law of*the land.”— WinfiM Scott Hancock. He who has learned to obey rightful authority has been taught the great lesson which fits him to exercise autttOTity. He who reverences the laws of his country is the right man to administer them. He who has proved liis devotion to its interests is the one to whom we can most safely trust the work of guarding and protecting them. Therefore we placed him in nomination, and go into this contest with the firm faith that we shall elevate him to the position of President of these United States.

my duty to be a soldier then. But, American and I’rotestant-as I am, I should be an ingrate did not I bear testimony to the services of Catholic sisters in the hospital, on the march, and on the held of battle during those terrible years. They nursed the sick. They bathed the feverish. They fed the famishing. They held the saving, cooling draught to the lips of the scotched and thirsty. They soothed the dying, and stole his cruel terrors from death. Heaven only can reward their labors commensurately ; and the tongue must have more than human inspiration which can acknowledge their sacrifices. It remained for the man who fled from the battlefield, where they remained, to demand what creed they professed who never asked the soldier his creed before they ministered to him! It remained for the bigot in politics to vote public money to a charitai le organization representing his creed, and to refuse it to these nurses of his country’s soldiers because their ereed is not his ! It remained for that runaway from tiie battlefields, and that ungrateful bigot in politics, to ask the suffrages of the Irish-Ameri-can voters to make him President. ■ In the Forty-fifth Congress, a few months before the death of brave old James Shields—jurist, statesman and soldier—a man whose long years of fidelity to his adopted country, and of bravery in hi r defense, should have I made all men forget where he was l orn, and remember only the country and cause for which he fought—a bill was introduced in the House authorizing the President to appoint the I hoary and intrepid veteran a Ihigadier General : in the United States army, on the ret’red list. with rank and paj from and after the i :- age of the act.

Mr. Tilden was elected in 1876. A false return was tire only resource against him. I do not ■ believe that Gen. Garfield, if left alone, j would commit an election fraud any moil' than he would steal a horse or a sheep: but when the managers of his party demanded his aid in a great swindle he could not refuse. Under that coercion he went down to Louisiana, and there found it absolutely certain that the Tilden electors had been "duly appointed ” at a legal apd full poll, so peacefully conducted that there tvas not even a squabble about it in the whole State, and the appointment so made was attested by and recorded upon the certificates and rhe oathsof election officers adverse to the appointees i» all their feelings and wishes. There was no earthly excuse for denying this. No contradiction of it could bo honest. To count the State for Hayes was a thing that could be done only by impudent and unmitigated fraud. For a time I hoped that Gen. Garfield’s share in that great crime had consisted in passive acquiescence ; and 1 am surprised by the proofs recently brought forward of his active assistance in its perpetration. His judgment as a member of the Electoral Commission was a thing to be expected, for he must long before that have convinced himself that a fraud was as good a way as any other of electing a President. In a political game ho did not think that anybody had moral sense enough to abstain from throwing a die which he himself had loaded to win the stake. The liability to lie rushed into evil courses by his party associates has brought upon him much odium which he does not deserve in the transactions of the Credit Mobilier. The stock distribute.l l.v Oakes Ames was intended to influence the legislation of Congress corruptly. He and the company who put it into his hands meint business, and that business was bribery.
