The poj-nlar opinion that Admiral Farragut is
to be at once tent to Wilmington, and that an
expedition against that 'po t is organising, is
wholly Incorrect. His work In Mobile 11 ly doct
not cease even with tbe capture of Fort M-irgan.
Moieover, tbe Job at Wilmington is one in which
no cousidi ruble success can bo achieved, except
by combined attack of the army and navy ; and
ile-lriible a it Is that tbe place should bo ren-'cu-
pied end repossessed, tbe emergencies of Grant
end Sherman require that every available man
should be sent lo them at present.

ever stood, ready to tacritlce her dearest personal
preferences for the public good.

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.
Immediately alter the nomination, a banner
onMh was pelireil the porriil of Oen"rvJ
