Seymour to be Governor of New York as "The Two Proclamations." The one he concludes to be mere "waste paper, impossible of enforcement," while the other is "A proclamation that the State of New York is free once more." The lines "The Democracy Triumphant," "The Administration is not the Government," came out in every issue, and it is a noticeable fact that in this paper, as in the Yonkers Herabl- Gazette, as the virulence of the tone increases, so does the pressure of the county advertising increase also, showing what powerful influences were behind the papers, in the shape of tlie county officers.

The extracts from the Eastern State Journal have been given in full, because, as appeal's above, a part of the grand jury thought it not quite disloyal enough to be included in the presentment, and therefore its tone can be taken as that of the more moderate Democrats who stayed at home during the war and voted for Horatio Seymour, as they did. The figures of the election in the county are rather against the assertion of the Journal that "three-fourths of the volunteers from the county were Democrats," for the vote cast for Seymour for Governor is seven thousand eight hundred and sixty-six, a decrease from the Presidential vote -- given at the beginning of this section -- of only two hundred and sixty votes, while the Republican vote is onlv five thousand five hundred and <. fifty -six, which is a decrease of one thousand one hundred and fifteen votes from that cast for the Lincoln electors two years before.
