IIohatio Seymouh, our nominee fr . , . , , , ,. , . 1 re.ijenr, has, besides holding other po?i- tions of lienor and trust, been twico elect ed Governor of New York. During the rebellion, when the general g';vfrnaacnt refused troops to defend our State capital, Seymcur sent his New York Boldiera to our relief on the first intimation of danger, and received for his promptness and patri otism the public thanks of President Lin robi and Governor Curtin. He ia ac knowledged, on all bands, to be tho ablest Democratic civilian in the United States, lie is 57 years of a.e, and his ivholo life, public and private, is without stain or Llern'mh. Gen. Fiiank P. Dr..vrn, our candidate for Vice President, is equally dis'iuguhdied s an experienced statesman and an able fighting General in the Union army. He was the steadfast personal and political friend of Jlr. Lincoln, but when Republi canism became radicalized, some three years ago, ha abandoned the party, and has tince been battling with tho Demo cracy. Such was the ConvcnJioD, such the I'latform, and such the candidates. We cheerfully raise their names to our mast Lead, and shall do battle f r them tiH Xo vembf.r o-xt, when their triumphant ejec tion will put an end to Radical ruin. In this connection w fv;ti confident that tiie fj'do-ving brief biogmpraphical sketch es of the Democratic candidate?, as fur nished in a recent issue of tho New York WorlJfWul prove interesting to our readers: JIOUATIO SKTMOL'R, Tho Democratic candidate for Pre.adcot of the United States, was born in Fompcy, Onondaga Ceuaty, New York, in the year 1811, and in consequently about fifty-seven years of age. The family to which Mr. Sey mour belongs is descended from Richaid Seymour, who was one of the original set tlers of Hartford, Connecticut. Major Xoses Seymour, the fourth lineal descendant, served in the Revolutionary "VTar, and sub fequsntly represented LicSt?uld in the Lcgis latura of Conaecticut for sevenbeen years. Of bis five sons, Henry Seymour, father of Horatio, was bam in 1780. He removed to Utica, in this Stat, tsrved in the State Legislature with bignal ability, and was for tnuny years Canal Commissioner, occapying a promineut position ia the politics and legislation of the Stated One of hia brothers was a dutinguislAKl mcmhtr of the Uuited titrates Senate frora Vermott for tv.ielve years. Hon. Origen S. Seymour, for some time Re yrentatjTe in Congress from the Litchfield I) strict, cf Conaecticut. was the son of anotber brother uamed 0ia. The maternal grandfather of Mr. Seymour, Colonel Forman, served through tho Kevoluiionary War in the New Jersey lite. Mr. Seymour receive1 a liberal and thorough education in the best institutions of the State. His instincts and preferences natural'y led him to' the study of the law, which he pursued with great vigor and in dustry. He was admitted to the Bar wheu only a little more than twenty years of age, ar 1 at once commenced the practice tf Lis I profession 5b the City of Utica. The death j cf j,ie father, hwwevor, soon afterwards I devolved ion him bo great responsibilities in connection with the settlement of the I family estate as to require the most of his time "and attention, obliging him. much i against his wish, to relinquish the practice j of his profession. The death of Iris wife's father, the late John 11. B'.cecker, occurriag i about the 6ame time, added to his numerous ; cares iu the adjustment of important proper- ty interests. S jido of the best years of Mr. j Sey:;vur' lift? were absorbed in this work, tut no d, ubt his n.icd was being schooled, ) us it could rift otherwise have been, for the ; grave responsibilities and duties that were to ' iv-u.e iu cft-r life. Up to this time Mr. Seymour hid acted no prominent part in rn.litlcal lf although froua his youth, as 1 were Lis ancestors before lira, he had always I teen strongly attiched, through sympathy j an 1 f.'ibt to the Democratic party. In the f fail of lt-il,whcn not thirty years of age, Mr. Seymour contented to the use of his i name as a Democratic cau iidate fur member i of Assembly. Although tho Whigs were at that time largely in the ascendancy in Utica. j Mr. Seymour was triumphantly elected by a j largo majority. To the Legislature llr. Sey I motir at once took a commanding position upon the great questions involving the in- t crusts of the State, engaging in the leaning debates with preat fervency aud assisting largely in shaping t i it? legislation of the ses sion. Arri-.u.g his lei.dat ive associ i! cs were J hn A. D:x. Michael Hoffman. David 11 Floyd .Tores, George U Davis. Lemuel Stet son and Calvin T. lluiburd. Tiie Democrats t that tijno were in the ascendency in both branches of the L"gislaf ure, and tlte great measure of the sessi. n was Jliehael Hoffman's celebrated I id in relation to finances, which was supported and passed by the Democrats In the mi -ce?s of this measure, v.l ich was destined to restore the depreciated financial credit of the State, Mr. Seymour took an active and sympathetic interest, displaying for the rst time the fcreusic ability and orato.icrd powers that have since distiu- G'l1 nitn-. ,. Tii to.- .r-nn-T of Ifijo llr. Ni-vmour was elected Mayor of the City i f Utica. despite ths continued hontility and opposition ot the Whigs.

Toe si sM-n of 1815 lie also engaged with fervent spirit iu the discussion relative to the cr.ll for a conven tion to amend the Constitution, but voted agah.st the LL'l providing for that measure. With this session Mr. Seymour's legislative career was brought to a close. For the fticceeding five years Mr. Seymour was not prominent in pu'4io liL, having r,,vamtll t'he rraotice of aw in the City of Utica. By the action of tho Legislature of 1S50, proidicg for the enlargement and improvement of the Erie Camd,nnd appro priating th-j revenue of the St.ite in cot tra ventiou to the provisions of the constitution. Mr. Seymour again assumed a leading posi tion in State politics, and mo:t eai neatly resisted this clfort to override the provisions of" a constitution so recently adopted. On account of his strenuous oj position to that measure, be was that ye ar (1850), for the first tlrte, placed in nomination tor Gover nor of this State, in opposition to Washing ton Hunt. The result of the election was, fi r Seymour. 214.352 votes; for Hunt. 214, 614. Mr. Seymour having beeu defeated by 262 votes. Iu 13-j2. Mr. Seymonr was again placed in nomination by the Democratic parry, in opposition to Washington Hunt (Whig) and Minthorne Tompkins (Free Soil) with tho following lesult : Seymonr 'jni.lil I Torupkiua Hunt x'JK.TJG Mr. Seymour was triumphantly elected over two competitors as the chief executive eCLer of the Sta His administration of State affairs, as generally conceded, was rendered y ability, tact, and good judg ment. While occupying the gubernatorial chair in 1332, he vetoed the notorious !ttaine law. and the correctness of his views as to the power of the Legislature to pass sumptuary laws was subsequently fully es tablished by a formal decision of the Court of Appeals. In 1S54 Mr. Seymour was nominated by the Democracy for re-election, with Myron II. Clark (Republican), Dan'l Ullman (Hard Shell Democrat as opponents. The follow ing waj the result of the election : Sevraour 156,495 I Ullmnn 122.2S2 Clark. 13,S.;4 Hronson, 33,y5J Although this flection resulted in Mr. Seymour's defeat, it demonstrated very sat isfactorily his nnwaning popularity wirh the people, and his certainty of success with the party united and working for one can didate. At the conclusion of this contest, Mr. Seymour again resumed the work of his profession at Utica. In everj tiling apper taining to the success of the Democracy he took an active and sympathetic inteiest. He attended National and State Conventions with great regularity, and was always ac corded a leading position in the councils of the same. At the National Democratic G'livcntion of Charleston, in I860, he was proposed by the Southern delegates as a compromise candidate between Douglas and Breckinridge, but owing to the opposition of the New Yoii delegation his.name was withdrawn. In 1802 Mr. Seymour was for the fourth time placed in nomination for Governor rf this State by the Democrats, againat Gen. Wadsworth, the Republican nominee. The result of the election was as follows : Seymour 306,649 Wadsworth 235,97 Mr. Seymour was thus for the secon 1 time elected Governor of this State by the handsome majority of 10,752. After an able administration of two years ho was, in 18C4, nominated for re-election, this time against Reuben B. Ten ton, by whom he was de feated. At tho National Democratic Convention held in Chicago in 18C4. Mr. Seymour was with great unanimity chosen its President, and how ably aud efficiently he discharged the duties and responsibilities of that im portant position, tho records and history of tho Convention will indisputably show. ificce trial time Mr. Ej mour kaa delivered many powerful Democratic speeches in vari ous parts of the country, entering each suc cessive campaign in this State with hia ac customed vigor, fearlessuess and efficiency. At bis home in Utica, a3 well as through cut the State, he is esteemed and respected with that fervor that springs only frora true friendship. He has beeu from early boyhood a faithful and energetic member of the Pro testant Episcopal Church, the interests of which he has labored earnestly to promote, both as an individual member and a leader in her legislative councils. He takes espe cial iii'erest in educational establishments and in the Sunday school, whose usefulnts-i and h finenee he labor zealously to promote and advance. KHAKOIS PKESTON Br.Ain.JR., The gallant soldier and statesman who lus been nominated for the office of Vice-President of tiie United States by the National Democratic Convention, aud who will cer tainly fill that office, was bom in the quaint old town of Lexington, Kentucky, Fehmary 19, 1S21. and is now in his forty-eighth year. In Lis twentieth year he graduated at Piince tou College, and removed to St. Louis. Mis souri, and there began the study of law, iu which profession he male rapid progress. In 1845. being then iu his twenty fifth year, de made a journey to tbe 11 cky Mountains with a party of trappers for the improvement of his health, which had failed somewhat, owing to close pursuit of his studies ; and on the breaking out of the Mexican war Plair joined the force under Kearney and the gal lant Donephan in New Mexico, and served as a private soidier until 1347, wheu he re turned to St. Louis and resumed tho practice ot his profession. Iu 181:!, like his father. Era -.da P. Blair, Sr., he gave his support to the Fret S 41 party and in a spee- h delivete 1 at tiie Court House in St L mis, contended aiai'ist the extension of shiv?ry iot the 'iYnitories of the nation. In 18.j2 hi iva elected from St. Louis County, Missoiui, to the Legislature as an avowed Free Soiler. and he was re-elected in 1854, though Th;s. H. Benton, the Cougres.-ional amiidato of tiie Free Soileis, was beaten In 185H Mr. Blair was returned to Congress from the St. Louis district, over Mr. Kenuett, who had defeated Colonel Ben tou two years before. In 1857 he delivered an elabo ate speech in the Iloi.&e of Representatives in fav..r of colonizing the black population of the United States in Central Ameiica. Mr. Blair was also an editor and wii er on the Missouri Democrat at oi.e time. The father of Gen. Biair was a Grm ai d fast fiicr.d of AnJrev Jackson; the General when a child w.iswout to play on the knees of Andrew Jackson in the White House. His father was at that time editor of the Globe, in Washington. In 1SG0 Mr. Blair contested the seat in Congress of Mr. Barrett, from the St. Louis district, aud soon after was returned to tire House, alter which he resigned his seat. In 18G0 General BlrJr made a speech, in Brooklyn, iu favor of Mr. Lincoln for the Presi doner, at.d also delivered a speech at the. Mttr-v,.:;!i-tau Hotel, in this city, iu Juue, 1 3 ' j 1 , it favor cf strong war measures, hinting than Genera! Scott was rather a slow campaigner. Mr. Blair was very assiduous in mi-ing vol unteers :c St. Lou's, and was the first volun teer of the SUte of Missouri. He raised tho First icgiment of Missouri Volunteer?, -and acted as its Colonel, albeit he did not hold a commission as Colonel of the regiment. A cHiTiculty arose between Co'onel Blair and General Fremont, and Colonel Biair was un justly placed under arra-t by that officer, who was commander of. that depirtment. This arbitrary measure of General Fremout's aroused great excitement iu St. Louis, where General Blair was universally known and respected, the journals of that city taking part in the quarrel at. the time. President Lincoln ordered. Colonel Blair to be released from arrest in September. 1801, thereby causing a great feeling of relief to the numer ous friends of Colonel B'.air in St. Louis;. II was again arrested by General En-moot, but finally reh aed after consid. rahle trouble and newspaper discussion by both partus. Colonel Blair rapidly rose as a soldi r an i became one of the most skillful Generals in the Western armies. On the 22 1 of May, 1So2, General BUir com in an d-d a division in Sherman's attack ou Yuksburg the brigades of Ewins. Smilh, and Kir by Smith, composing his division. Frank Blair h.id tle honor of lea iing the attack in person, five batteries concentrating their guns on the rebel position. The attack was teriific and was repulsed. As the head of the col utnn passed over the parapet a dense fire of musketry swept away ali its leading files, t'he rear of the column attempted to rush on, but were driven back. Here, by the bd management of Grant, B:air was not support ed, as the supporting divisions weie too far away to give him assistance. At tiie cap ture of Vicksburg Blair's division participa ted, and did the heaviest fighting in Sher man's command. It was at this lime that Grant pronouueed Frank B'air to be the best volunteer general in the Uuited States Army, an opinion that was fully sustained by his conduct in action and his judgmuit as a campaigner. In the greAt march of Sherman to the sea. General Frauk P. Blair command ed the Seventeenth Army Corps, the fin -st corps of the whole army. He crossed the Ogeechee near Barton, and captured the first prisoners. His divisions laid pontoons across the river, and the two w ings were thus united before Savannah. His division was the first to march into Savannah- From Savannah, the Fourteenth Corps was taken by water to Pocotailgo, whence it threatened Charleston, while Slocurn, with the Twen tieth Corps and Kilpatrick's cavalry, march ed up the Augusta to Sister Ferry , threatens ing an advance on Savannah at Tallahatchie. Blair waded through a swamp three miles wide, with water four feet deep, the weath'-r being bitter cold. H;re the Seventeenth had another fight, and lost a uumbr of killed and wouuded. but drove the rebels behind the Ediato at Branchvi'de. The nrmy then directed its march on Oraugebuig. Here the Seventeenth carried the bridge over theSouth Edisto by a gallant dash,Blair lead ing ids men, as usual, up to the battery's m nith, which was covered by a parapet e.f cotton and earth extending as far as could be seen. Blair thicw Smith's division in front, while his other division crossed belw and carried the bridge after a hard fight. A half dozen men tf Blair's corps were the first to enter Columbia. The Seventeenth Corps, however, were not guilty of the burn ing of this city, as has been charged. At the battle of Beutonvillc. N. C. , ou the march up to Richmond, the Seventeenth were engaged heavily. It is not necessary to go further into detail of the glorious ser vices and gallantry of our candidate for the Vice-Tresidency. His name appears in the history of the great civil war as one of the first soldiers of the North. His life has been a romantic one, and full of strange and eventful occurrences. He bade farewell to his troops July 24, 1865, in an affecting ad dress. He was nominated Internal Revenue Collector of Missouri in March, 18G6. His nomination was rejected by the Senate. His popularity in the West is very great. His past record insures him success. Everybody seems to be buoyed up with the hope that the country will Seymour peace aud prosperity after the coming Pres idential election than Las been Grant ed to it iiace the good eld days of Dsraocralic rule. Great Democratic Demonstra tion lu Sew York. SPEECHES OF SEYMOUR AND BLAIR THEY ACCEPT THE NOMINATIONS.

The contest w h'ch wo wage is f r the restoration of con stitutional government ; and it is appropri ate that we should make tliis contest muter the lead of one who ha giveu his life to tho maintenance of constitutional government.

I have said that the contest before us was one for th restoration of our Government. It is also for the res toration of our race. Uproariousappiau.se It is to prevent the people of our race from being exiled from their homes, exiled from the government which they have created for themselves and f r their children, to pre vent theui from being trodd.cn under foot by na inferior and semi-barbarous race.

In that contest, for which they have been sought to bo disfranchised and exiled from their homes, they proved themselves worthy to be our peers. Applause. It is not my purpose to make any lengthened address, but simply to express my gratitude for the great and distinguished honor which has been conferred upon me'; and now from rny heart I reiterate the words of thanks that fell from my lips when I arose.
