vent the people of Mich Htutcs from being re

Hecond. Tho guarantee ot Congress of equal
nuITmge to all loyal men at the South was de
manded by ovory consideration of public safety,
ot gratitude, nncf of Justice, nml must be main
tained, while the quest Ion of HiitlniKH in all the

Third. We denounce nil form of repudiation

raiildlyaa tho national faith will permit.
Fifth. Tho national debt, contracted as It has
been for the preservation of the Union for all
llmo to come, should ho extended over a lair
period for redompt Ion, and It Is the duty of Con
gress to reduce the rate of Interest thereon
whenever it can possibly be done.
Hixth. That tho best policy to diminish our

capitalists will seek to loan us money nt lower
rates of Interest thnn wo now pay, and must

pected, Hovcnth, Thotlovernment of the fulled Slates
should headmtulstcred with the strictest won

shamefully nursed and fostered by Andrew
Johnson call loudly for radical reform.
Eighth. We profoundly deplore the untimely
and tragic death of Abraham Lincoln, and re.
fret tho accession of Andrew Johnson to the
'residency, who has acted treacherously to Un
people who elected him nnd the cnuso he was
pledged to support ; has usurped legislative and
judicial functions, has refined to execute the
laws; has used his high olllce to Induce oilier
olllcers to Ignore nnd violate the laws; has cm
ployed his executive power to render Insecure
the prosperity, peace, liberty, nnd life ofthe ctt
lens has abused the pardoning power; has
denounced the national Legislature as uncon

Ninth. The doctrlnoof Ureal Britain and other
European powers, that because a man is once

the feudal times, not authorized by the law of
nations ana aiwar wnnour uuuonat iiouor ami

especial honor than the brave soldiers nnd sea
men who endured the hardships ot caiepalgn

THE CONFERENCE.
The 24th District Conference met in
Pittsburgh Tuesday of last week, and
after three days balloting amounting
in all to more than 190 ballots, they
adjourned, without a nomination, to
meet aet Tuesday at tho same place.
Each county itood out for its candi
date and ech recaived three votes
Buocessively.
The conferees from the respective
counties have surely shown enough
fidelity to instructions to satisfy even
tho most inveterate croaker that they
arc men who could not be bought or
would sell a constituency. But with
all they have failed to nominate. Tiie
' intercut of, the party, tho state and
- the country, demand that a noraioa
sation be made, Let each of the con
, area resolve thai a nomination shall
to made and that they .will make it
! they believe tlie people of tlieir re-
spcctlrcr coon tics would do were they
present acting for tbetmelres. With
tb' determination wbea the Confer
ence meets again, two. or three bal
lots will be sufficient to secure a nom
ination. Faction not ao strong nor
nntriotisra so weak amongst Republi
cans, but that the great mass of the
party will clicernilly ratify their ac
tion. Only let tho selection bo made
with reference to our best interest. In
tho event of tho impossibility of Capt.
Donley being nominated the injus
tice of which it is to be hoped will
dawn upon the minds of delegates
from sister counties it will bo the
province of our delegates to select the
man most eligible and who can benefit
us most from locality. This may be
construed as our second choice whfti
really we have none other than our
candidate and tho county's nest best
interest. We leave it to our delegates
to say who it shall be, trusting it is
plain enough.
A failure to nominate will work in
juriously to tho party, district, state
and country. Conferees who fail to
exhibit a capacity to do anything,
will not increase their reputation as
business .men. We therefore beseech
you ono and all to riso above mere
preferences and prejudices and go for
the good of your country, tho whole
country and all will be well.
WHY M ITT
Why is it that for tho Inst three
months there has been a continued and
persistent effort made to bring reproach
on the Federal government for its con
duct ofthe war, and to laud the rebel
government for its deportment in tho
same? There has been a revival of
this matter. No statement is too ab
surd, no falsehood too plain for pub
lication. The Mewnger is right Kcal
ous in thissort of work. Abnostevcry
week it commends somo murderer,
gambler, or guerilla, who was punish
ed by the Federal government for his
offences, and denounces the men who
suffered at rebel hands. Week before
last it published another batch of those
falsehoods, in tho attempt to prove
General Grant responsible for the mur
der of our prisoners at Anderson ville.
We arc not surprised nt such charges
at such times and from such sources,
but we should think they would take
for r'u:ijcct matter points less -controvertible
by history. We have an
ugly habit of preserving official docu
ments, and among those which we
have, is a letter from Robert Ould,
rebel agent of exchange to General
Winder, keeper of Liby prison, from
which wo take extracts showing the
rebel policy of exchange inhuman, and
rightly pntastopto oy uoncrai urani s
order, fleyond this no words are
needed to show up the falsity of the
charge:

91 A HE A MOTE OF IT.
ThcSupremeCoiirtof New York has
decided upon a writ ot error, that a
promissory note is remlereu void by
any change of date after its delivery.
In the case on trial it appeared on the
face ofthe note that "September" had
been stricken out nnd "October 11"
substituted as date after one of the par
ties had signed the note, and withont
his knowledge or consent. The Court
showed that it was a rule of the com
mon law, as far back as the reign of
hid ward 111, that an erasure in a deed
voids its ; and the same rule had been
held applicable to commercial paper
it having been established in both Eng
lish and American jurisprudence, that
a maternal alteration in any commer
cial paper, without the consent of the
party signing the change, extinguishes
his liberty. The alteration ofthe date,
whether to hasten or delay the payment
has been uniformly held to be material.

HOW ABE TOU DEJtOCIt.lCT
The week just passed has been ono of
interest to the country, being the time
when a cabal of politicians from all
ports of our Union in'Convention as
sembled at New York, liaving labored
for the last half century to destroy this
Government, now presume to dictate
to tho American people bow its safe
ty (?) can be secured. Tlie impudence
aside, we come down to the actual do
ings of these beggars for popular syra
paty. The Soldiers and Sailor's Con
vention, which was a sido arrange
ment to tho larger exhibition given at
Tammany, was scarcely worthy of note.
Composed entirely of men who figured
as quartermasters or feather-bed offi
cers and hangers-on about tho cities, it
was entitled to no respect from any
party and was snubbed even by the
Democracy. A certain Ewing and
Franklin, bearing the weight of heavy
military titles, and like many others,
never mentioned in connection with
operations in the field, were conspicu
ous. Ofthe Convention proper, we
glean the following details, incidents,
etc., from the reports of our city dai
lies, which may be relied on for truth
and accuracy, coming from the pens
of reporters present.
First Day. Long before 10$ o'
clock on the 4th, all tho avenues in
the neighborhood of tho Tammany
temple were filled with a motley crowd
the great unwashed, who had come
some of them hundreds of miles to
stand in tho heat and sun just outside
of the magic circle that contained the
favored fcw. To see them sweltering
on the sidewalk and in the street, par
boiled on the outside from the exces
sive heat, and on fire within from hot
and potent poison of the neighboring
groggeries was a sight. A single vil-
age in Pennsylvania had between 30
and 40 representatives in this pitiable
throng at one time shortly before the
meeting of the Convention, and it is
fair to presume that many other places
were quite as well off. The desire
fntt itnhnta nnnntr tlinm una iufpnso
and all who could be presumed to have
even a tithe of influence in the proper
uarters were implored for favors until
the importunity became almost intol
erable. "Tickets" was tho universal
cry until long after the Convention
adjourned, and then they amused
themselves with the report that on
Monday morning these m iscrabic pieces
of nasteboird could be had fora dollar
and the asking.
At noon tho hall wa crowded to
its' utmost capacity. The heat was in
tense, and the panting, puffing, per
spiring, but patient multitude, bore
this infliction with great resignation
and some show of good nature; but
many, while silently throwing moun
tains of blame upon thoso who had
paid so little attention to the ventila
tion of the hall, threw ceremony anil
their coats aside at tlie same tunc and
sat as quietly as possible in their shirt
sleeves, and gazed earnestly at the le
gion of great men whom the exigen
cies ofthe Democratic party had called
together on the nations birthday,
.cattcrett over the room were veteran
Democrats, upon whose bald heads the
eye rested but a moment, as tlie re
flection of the light from the windows
was painful, and the memories called
up when one recognized the faces so
long prominent in the past history of
the party of slavery and corriiption
were by no means pleasant. There
were Forrest of Fort Pillow fame,
Simmons of Georgia, and ' hosts of
other ex-rebel delegates, surmounted
strange as it may appear! hot as it
was ! I(t as they smell ! by a "nig
ger!" His name is Joe Williams, and
lie has his papers as a colleague ot
iorrcst, lrom lenncssce! Consider
ing the lost worthy's attempt to ex
terminate the black race on a small
scale at Fort Pillow, is it not curious
that he and his confreres now take
one of their number to their bosom?
July, of nil other months, should not
have been chosen for the alliance.
After the introductory by Mr. llel
mont, the Rev. Mr. Morgan read from
a little book carefully lotlged in the
bottom of his hat a most eloquent ad
dress to the Throne of Grace, lis-
hstcned to with great reverence by the
delegates, most of whom remained
standing during its delivery. Hut the
people in the galleries perhaps unac
customed to the unusually quiet man
ner in which what they supposed to
be a speech was received, became some
what impatient, and at the close of
the reverend gentleman s long address,
bciran to nnntatid "Bullv for von!"
"Go in old smooth-top !" etc At the
conclusion of his speech, which was
received with applause, Mr. Jsclmont
nominated lor temporary chairman
the Hon. Henry S. Palmer of Wis
consin, which was agreed to. Com
mittees were then formed for perma
nent organization, after which the
Convention adjourned.
Second day. Monday.Tammany
was full to overflowing. Everybody
was aware that Governor Seymour
was to be President of the Convention
and consequently everybody was pre
pared to cheer lustily upon . tho, an
nouncement. Then followed his ad
dress, the principle point in which
consisted in the fact that Mr. Seymour
carries the Republican platform in his
pocket, a commendable thing for Dem
ocrats to do, but a very dangerous
experiment for those who wish to die
in the Democratic faith. The speech
was both heavy and long, and but
for Mie memorial ot Miss Susan B.
Republican, 'jebnesbng, 3u( 15, IS05.
Anthony on behalf of the women of
America, its somnolent qualities might
havo afflicted tlie Convention for the
rest of the day. But Miss Susan may
die in the belief that tho Democracy
agrees with her that the little difficul
ty of sex i insnrmountable, and she is
proliably aware already that the wards
of Tammany, tho Sixth Ward strikers,
tlie rural politicians, nnd the pardoned
Rebels, are quite as fond of universal
laughter as of Universal Amnesty,
from trie derisive cheers which greeted
her memorial. It is to bo remarked
tliat while resolutions were introduced
complimenting everybody except Grant
and Colfax, all were lustily cheered
but the Jinn of the People. lien
Andrew Johnson pipes the Democracy
will not dance. This Convention
treated him with tlie contempt the
whole peoplo have shown,, and, re
fusing to indorse his policy, passed
him by with cold words of compliment
little better than tho language ot open
scorn. JUr. Uigler ot I'enusylvania
moved that the Convention procectl
to nominate a candidate for President
of tho U. S. This is what the con
vention had assembled to do this is
what these galleries wanted to sec
done. Tho Convention, however, was
not nearly so impatient as tho multi-
A...1- I .1 l 1 1- I 1
nine, nun (iL'icrniincu it) n:ivu it puiL
ftirm first nml a candidate afterward.
It accordingly adjourned to four
o clock. At the evening session, bu
siness, if the proceedings can bo called
business, was more promptly proceeded
with than in the morning. The first
thing accomplished was a splendid
farce, performed in so lame a manner
that it was impossible even to laugh at
i. This was the reception of a dele
gation from tho Soldiers' and Sailors'
Convention, with a memorial f the
Democratic "Convention, exceedingly
long and frightfully stupid. First
came Sergeant Bates, tlie man who
carried the flag ever so far without
any reason at all, and as he bore tho
banner to tho plattorm lus jaunty ap
pearance indicated that lie was as much
a "fraud" ns the men who walk 1,000
miles in 1,000 hours; or even ns the
Democratic Convention itself, noon
afterward tho soldiers entered, Gens.
tranklin, Slocum, Granger, lvirby
Smith, Denver, Tom Ewing, jr., and
others, but the sailors were not to be
seen. Were they half seas over?
The soldiers, or rather generals, were
coldly received by the multitude, and
when the galleries attempted to cheer
them they failed in the attempt. Tom.
Ewing was called upon lor a speech,
and he failed, too. Jut he deserved
to fail because ho saw the nigger in
the wood-pile, nnd nobody was yet
quite sure whether Chase and negro
sufirago would not be accepted by the
Democratic Party. However, who:-:
he called tho Rebel generals sitting in
Convention below by tho endearing
name of brothers, there was a great
shout, and having made, ns he thought
a good point, be gracefully retired.
The job being gone through with,
and the soldiers ami sailors well got
rid of, two hours of fillibustenng lol-
owed. 1 he Committee on resolutions
was not ready to report; the Conven
tion was not ready to nominate. Like
a small boy celebrating tho Fourth,
they were afraid to let oil their tiro
cracker lest the report should kill
them, and until somebody explodes a
torpedo among them they will play
with fire but shrink to touch the itise.
Third day. The crowd on the
outside was not so largo ns on the first
days. When the time arrived for the
multitude to enter, it was not long
until the immense hall was filled. The
first business of importance was the
reading of a scries of resolution? pre
pared by Mr. Alexander II. Stephens
of Georgia. The convention felt that
they had been entertaining nil incen
diary document, nnd n motion was
mado- by Mr. Richardson of Illinois
to refer all resolutions affecting the
platform without reading. Dick Itioh
ardson wanted no firebrands to the
foxes' tails in the Democratic wheat
fields. Mr I lenry C. Murphy of New
York then reported the platform
agreed upon by tho Committee on res
olutions, which was as follows:
The Platform.
The Democratic party in National
Convention assembled, reposing its
trust in the intelligence, patriotism,
and discriminating justice of the peo
ple, standing upon the Constitution ns
the foundation nnd limitation of the
powers of tho Government, and the
guaranty of the lilierties of the citizen,
and recognizing the questions of Slave
ry and Secession as having been settled
for all time to come by tlie war, or the
voluntary action ofthe Southern States
in constitutional conventions assem
bled, and never to lie renewed or rc-
agitatcd, do with the return of peace
demand :
Immediate restoration of all the
States to their rights in the Union,
under the Constitution, and of civil
government to the American people.
Second: Amnesty for all past polit
ical offenses and the regulation of the
elective franchise in the States by
their citizens.
Third: Payment of the public debt
of tho United States as rapidly as
practicable, all moneys drawn from the
people by taxation, except so much as
is requisite for the necessities of the
Government economically administer
ed, being honestly npplied to such
payment, and, where tiie obligations
of the Government do not expressly
state upon their face, or tho law under
which they were issued docs not pro
vide that they shall bo paid in coin,
they ought, in right and in justice, lie
paid in the lawful money ot the United
States.
Fourth t tiqual, taxation of every
species of nronertv according to its real
value, including Government bonds
and other public securities.
Frflh i One currency for the Govern
ment and the people, the laborer nnd
the office-holder, the pensioner nnd the
soldier, tlie- producer and the bond
holder. Sixth: Economy in tho administra
tion of the Government, the reduc
tion of the standing army and navy,
thti abolition ofthe Freed men's Bureau
and all political instrumentalities de
signed to secure negro supremacy;
simplification of the system and dis
continuence of inquisitorial modes of
assessing and collecting Internal Rev
enue, so that the burden of taxation
may bo equalized aivt lessened, the
credit, of the Government, and tlie
currency mado good, tho repeal of all
enactments for enrolling the State
Militia into National forces in time of
peace, and a tariff for revenue upon
foreign imports, and such equal taxa
tion under the Internal Revenue laws
as will afford incklental protection to
domestic manufactures, nnd as will,
without impairing the revenue, impose
the least burden upon and best pro
mote and encourage the great industrial
interests of the country.
Seventh : Reform of abuses in the
Administration, the expulsion of cor
rupt men from office, the abrogation of
uselesss offices, the restoration of right
ful authority to and the independence
of tho Executive and Judicial Depart
ments of the Government, the subordi
nation ofthe military to the civil power,
to the end that tho usurpations of Con
gress and the despotism of the sword
may cease. ,
Eighth: E-jual rights and protection
for naturalized nnd native horn citi
zens at home and abroad, the assertion
of American nationality whim shall
command tho respect of foreign powers
and furnish an cxamplo nnd encour
agement to people struggling for na
tional integrity, constitutional liberty,
and industrial rights; and tho mainte
nance of tho rights of naturalized citi
zens ngainst the absolute doctrino of
immutablo allegiance nnd the claims
of foreign powers to punish them for
alleged crime committed beyond their
jurisdiction.
In demanding these measures and
reforms we arraign tho Radical party
for its disregard of right and tho un
paralleled oppression nnd tyranny
which have marked its enrcer. After
the most solemn and unanimous pledge
of both Houses of Congress to prose
cute the war exclusively for the main
tenance of the Government and the
preservation of tho Union under tho
Constitution, it has repeatedly violated
that most sacred pledge under which
alone was rallied that noble volunteer
army which carried our flag to victory.
Instead of restoring the Union, it has,
so far as in its power, dissolved it, and
subjected ten States in time of pro
found peace to military despotism and
negro supremacy. It has nullified
there the right of trial by jury ; it has
abolished the habeas corpug, that most
sacred writ of liberty; it has over
thrown the freedom ot speech and the
press: it has substituted arbitrary
seizures and arrests, and military trials,
and secret star-chamber inquisitions
for the constitutional tribunals ; it has
disregarded in time of peace the right
of the people to be frco from searches
antiseizures; it has entered the post
and telegraph offices, and even tho
private rooms ot individuals, and
seized their private papers and letters
without any spccihc charge or notice ot
affidavit, ns required by the organic
aw: it hns converted the American
Capitol into a I5astile; it has establish
ed a system of spies and espionage to
which no constitutional monarchy ot
Europe would now dare to resort; it
has abolished the right of appeal on
important constitutional questions to
the supreme judicial tribunals, and
threatens to curtail or destroy its orig
inal jurisdiction which is irrevocably
vested by the' Constitution; while the
learned "Chief-Justice has been sub
jected to tho most atrocious calumnies
merely because ho would not prostitute
his high office to the support of the
false nnd partisan charges preferred
against the President. Its corruption
antl extravagance have exceeded any
thing known in history; and by its
frauds and monopolies it has nearly
doubled the burden of the debt croatcd
by the war. It has stripped the Pres
ident of his Constitutional power of
appointment, even of his own Cabinet.
Under its repeated assaults the pillars
of tlie Government arc rocking on
their base, and should it succeed in
November next and inaugurate its
President, we will meet as a subject
and conquered people amid the ruins
of liberty antl the shattered fragments
of the Constitution ; and we do declare
and resolve, that ever since the people
ofthe Uniteil States threw off all sub
jection to the British Crown the priv
ilege and trust of suffrage have belong
ed to the several States, and have been
granted, regulated, and controlled
exclusively by the political power of
each State respectively, antl that any
attempt by Congress, on any pretext
whatever, to deprive any State of this
right, or interfere with its exercise, is
a flagrant usurpation of power which
can find no warrant in the Constitution:
and, if sanctioned by the people, will
subvert our form of government, and
can only end in a single centralized
and consolidated government, in which
tho separate existence ofthe States will
be entirely absorbed, and an unquali
fied despotism be established in place
of a rcdcral Union of coequal States;
and that we regard the Reconstruction
acts (so called) of Congress, as such are
iiotitinnf innO nn1 11 nnnnai ifnf!-vrn1 w

olutionary, and void : that our soldiers
and sailors who carried the flag of our
country to victory against a most gal
lant and determined foc-jnust ever be
gratefully remembered nnd all the
guarantees given in their favor roust
be faithfully carried into execution.
That the publio lands should be dis
tributed OS widely as nossihia nmnnrr
tho people, and should be disposed of
either under trie preemption or home
stead laws, -and sold in reasonable
quantities, and to none but actual occu
pants, at the minimum price establish
ed ly the government. When grants
ol the public lands may bo allowed
necessary for tho encouragement of
important public improvements, tho
proceeds of the sale of such lands, anil
not tl lands themselves, should be so
applied.
That the President of tho United
States, Andrew Johnson rapplausel in
exercising the power of his high office
in resisting the aggressions of Congress
upon the Constitutional rights of the
btates and the people, is entitled to tho
gratitude of tho wholo American peo
ple, and in behalt ot the Democratic
party we tender him our thanks for his
patriotic euorcs in tnat regard, upon
this platform the Democratic party
appeal to every patriot, including all
tho Conservative element, and all who
desire to support the Constitution and
restore the Union, forgetting nil past
differences-of opinion to unito with us
in tlie present great struggle for tlie
liberties of tlie people; and that to all
such, to whatever party they may
havo heretofore belonged, we extend
the right hand of fellowship, and hail
all such cooperating with us as friends
and brethren.
Mr. Biglcr of Pennsylvania moved
to nominate candidates for President.
Before any names were offered Gov.
Seymour explained tho effect ofthe
two-thirds rule, but tho Chair
declined to determine the question
of its application to this Conven
tion. Mr, Richnrson then moved that
two-thirds ofthe votes cast should de
cide the nomination, nnd it was agreed
to, Tho first nomination made wa
that of English of Connecticut. Pen
dleton's nomination was tho only one
which created much cntliiisinsm,
though strange to say, Andrew John
sons name was loudly cheered. John
son's vote on the first ballot astonished
everybody. Many of the Southern
delegates, who had no particular use
for their votes just then, gave him the
compliment of their support, and next
to Pendleton be bad the highest vote.
Pendleton had 105 votes and John
son G5. Frank Blair passed through
the ordeal of the bnllot and came out
with halfavoto.. Virginia gave him
10 votes on the-second ballot asn kind
of consultation from tho Mother of
Statesmen. This ballot developed
nothing, but on the next, the Pennsyl
vania delegation nsked nnd obtained
leave to retire for consultation, it
was hoped their return would show a
new move on tlie board, North Caroli
na, not forgetful of its brilliant fent
with the guidon, succeeded in bring
ing down the bouse by voting for Sey
mour on the fourth ballot. The fifth
and sixth ballots developed nothing
new.
Fourth Day. Tnmimny wnsTull
at the usual hotif steaming with heat.
Tho reading ofthe prayer which open
ed proceedings was not followed by
applause, owing to the fact the etajitc
ur had been carefully drilled by the
managers; nor did a single tip-stairs
Democrat cry "bully for you" when
the speaker closed. Fora long time
the iinterriliod behaved with much de
cency, and burst forth into noisy ao
claim only when the signal was given bo-
low. W hen New-York dropped Mr.
Church, and anounced through her
Chairman that Hendricks should have
the support of her 33 delegates, there
was a storm of applause which lasted
for several minutes; when, on tho 12th
ballot, Tennessee gave Franklin Pierce
one vote, and California paid one-half
as a valublo compliment to Chase, the
enthusiasm was unbounded. No words
can descrilic tho tempest of applause
which greeted the name of AlcUlcIlan
when sonic unadulterated fossil anoun
ced his preference for that chieftain of
glory or renown, nor can any ordinary
pen do justice to the warm gush ot
patriotic joy which welled up from the
overloaded bosoms ot z,O(J0 1 Jjinocrats
and struck upon the air with a mighty
sound, when the valiant Dan Voorliecs
of Indiana was introduced. A dele
gate from Illinois rose to his feet
unni 'diately niter the announcement
of tbc vote of his Delegation, nnd spoke
as to do ws:
"Jlr. Chairman,: ei)ory American
citiz ii who (cries of"'Sit down !')
who ieels, Sir, a pride in the freedom
(I' it him out !) in the free (Or
der ! ut down ! Dry up I ) in the free
dom of speech I won't sit down, Mr.
Chai man, until I havo spoken for my
const, tucnts of the I Id District. I
say, Mr, it is so. The palladium of
our liliertics, Sir, is the right (Wrong!
Wrong ! Sit down !) t won't Is the
right to speak the leelings of the pat
riotic heart whenever and wherever
the erosion demands the expression.
rCheeiM.l For one, Mr. Chairman, I
have not cast my vote for Mr. Hen
dricks. I havff watched with interest
and with pride, .Sir, tlie course of a
man who is dear to every oitizen who
loves his country, and desires to see
the rule of Radicalism Uokeo off short
in the middle. Applause. Ho it is
for whom I skill vote the patriot
and the sage, tlie tin terrified, the incor
ruptible statesman, Andrew Johnson.
tie held his ground till he had finished
speaking his piece, and sat down with
a thump wiuch set the galleries in a
roar.
Fifth Day. The Convention was
called to order, at 10 o'clock, A. sr.
lialloting was continued lor a dozen
different candidates until the 13th
ballot when Pendleton withdrew. On
the 22d bnllot tho crisis came and
when the roll call came to Ohio, Mr.
M Cook of that delegation cast her 21
votes for Horatio Seymour. New
York then swung into line and Penn
sylvania followed and then the small
fry. He was then proclaimed the
unanimous choice ol the Convention,
and Seymour:
"Wlihiwring, I will no'or consent, consen
ted." Prank P. Blair waa nominated for
tlie Vice Presidency
This finished the business. The
agony was over and our western del
gates joined the funeral cortege ot the
lamented Pendleton, cursing the day
that assembled thorn in Nm v.C
and soliloquising after the fushionof
"uki jick, on his return from a
Democratic Convention, who
"As ho tamed on bis heel, and went hit war
