Iu announcing the vote of New York, Mr. Church said that New York regretted to pass by ber favorite son ; but she stands now, as she hit ever stood, ready to tacritlce her dearest personal preferences for the public good. Holding it to be her duty, above all others, to do all in her power to repcuo the country from the tyranny ibat opprcspes it, having full contl- dence in the democracy, iho abili y, and patriot ism of Geneial George 11 McClellan, New York glvet him ber entire electral Vote. Several delegations having cast their rotet for Doratio Seymonr, when the call of Slates bad been goue through with, Governor Seymour re marked that, as some gentlemen had done bim tbe honor to name bim for nomination, it would be affectation to say that tholr expressions of preference did not give bim pleasure; but he owed ' to himself to say thut m ny months ago he advised hit friends in New York tb it, fur various reasons, private and pub I ', ho would not be a candidate for the Chicago nomination. Having made that announcement, he would lack tbe honor of a man he would d i great In justice to those friends to permit his name to be used U"W. As a member of the New York delegation he personally thought it advisable to support an eminent jui 1st of that Sute for nomi nation; but he was not actuated in tbit by any doubt of the aMIity or patriotism of the dis tinguished geiitlemau who has been placed in nomination. He knew that General McClullan did not seek the nomination. He knew that that able olH;or had declared that it would be more agreeable to him to resume his position in tbe army ; but be will not honor any less tbe high position assigned him by thu great majority of his countrymen, because lie lias not sought It. He desired to add a few words in reference to Mui y land and her honored delegates here. Y's. tcrday he did an act of Injustice to tke distin guished member of that dulegation (Mr. Harris), because Le (Seymour) did not understand the purpoit of his remarks, and he now desired to say thut that high-toned gentleman was Incapa ble of taking a position in thit Convention, par ticipating iu lis deliberations, and refuting to abide by its decisions. We are now appealing to the American people to unite and ave our country. Let us not look buck. It it with tbe present that we have to dual. Let bygones be bygones. He could lay for our ga'laut nominee, that no man's heart will grieve more than hit will for any wrongs doue to Mary laud. At one who did not support him in my delega tion, and as one who knoivs the man well, he felt proud to do him this justice. He (Governor Scy inoui ) would pledge hit life that when General McClellan la placed in the Frosldeutla! chair, be will devote all his energies to the iiest Interests of hit country, and to securing, never again to be Invaded, all the right and privileges of the people under tbe lews oud tfee Constitution. Tbe Piesideut then announced tbe vote, which was received with deafening cheert, tbe dele gates and audience rising, the baud playing, and tbe cheering lasting for several minutes.
