Jheers. .
The time was when ws could not
only invite Europeans to sharu with
us the material blessings of our great
i onntry, but more than that, wo could
tell those who fled from oppression
that we lived under a government of
laws administered by the judiciary
which kept the bayonet and the sword
tn due subordination. Choors We
could point to a written Constitution,
which not only marked out the pow
ers of government, but with anxious
cure secured to tho humblest man the
right of property, of person and of
conscience. Is immigration encour
aged bv trampling tlibt Constitution
in the dut, treating it with contempt,
shuukling tho judiciary, insulting the
Executive ami giving all the world to
understand that the great guarantees
of political nnd social righ ' a are de
stroyed r Ureat applause. But the
crowning indictment against the fol
lies and crimes of thottd in power is
in these words : ,
'That we reoogniie the great prin
ciple luid down in the immortal Dec
laration of Independence as the true
foundation of democratic government,
and we bail with gladnons every effort
towards making these principles a
living reality on every inch of Ameri
can foil.'
If within the limit of ten Slates of
this Union an American citinSn, stung
by a sense of his wrongs, should pub
licly and truthfully dunouncd tho men
in power, because in the Tery Ian
auage of this Declaration- of Indepen
dence they have erected a multitude
of new officers, and sent hither a
swarm of officer to hnrrass our peo
ple and eat out their 'substance, he
would, in all human probability, be
diaggetl to a prison, or if, in the inad
equate language of our fathers, be
should exclaim, "They have affected
to render thu military independent cf
or superior to, the civil power; they
have abolished the freej-Htm of En
glish laws and established there an
urbitrary government." For the of
feifse of asserting these principles, be
would be tried and punished by
military tribunal.
Having declared that the principles
of the Declaration of Independence
should bo made a ''livi jg reality in ev
ery inch ot American soil," tbey put
in nomination a military chieftain
who stands at the head of that system
of desotisina that crushed beneath
iu f'let the greatest principle of the
Declaration of Independence. Cheer.
To-day, , in Borne of thv States, it is
held by military orders to be a crime
to speak out the indignation nnd con
tempt which burn within bosoms of
putrtolic men. If to-morrow a mili
tary order should be put forth in that
Stale where the ashes of Washington
aru entombed, that it should be an of
fense to declare that the military
should ever be subordinate to the civ
il authority, to euk out the senti
ment that it was a disgrace to one
country to let hordes of official eat
up the austcnunce of the people, he
who uttered these words could be
dragged to prison from the verj grave
where lie the remain of the author
of tho Declaration of Independence.
Loud cheers.
From this outrago there could b
no appeal to the courts, and the Re
publican candidate lor the Presidency
has accepted a position which makes
the righu Slid liberties of a. largo'
share of our people dependant upon
his will. Applause. In view of these,
things can there be one man in this
Convention who can let a personal
ambition, a passion, a prejudice, tnrn
him aside one hair's breadth in his
efforts to wipe off the wrongs and out
rages that disgrace our country f
Cheers Can there be one man whose
heart is so dead to all that is great
and noble in patriotism, that he will
not sacrifice ull other things for the
suke of bis country its -liberties and
its great ne sf Can we suffer anV pre
judices growing out of past differen

lo-dsy to see what measures can be
lalien to avert the danger which
threaten our country and to relievo it
from the toils and burthens resulting
from bad govern mcuU and- unwise
counsels. m
I thank God that the strife of arms
has ceased a'id that once more in tho
great Conventions of our party we
enn call through the whole roll of
Slates and find men to answer to each.
Time and event ia the great cycles
have bn' light us to this spot, to renew
and reinvigorate that constitutional

vcarngo was inaugurated in this city,

day we es solemnly pledge ourselves
to uphold iho right. and liberties of

Then, as now, there was in every pa
triotic breast a longing for the bless

Great Mass Meeting at Tamaiaar Hall,
Hew Tsrk MamtSceat Receailoa sf
(lie Candldstea by the People Mpeeehe
ot Acceptance by Gov. Seymour aod
Gee. Hi air.
The Democracy of New. Tork city
turned out by thousands on Friday
evening last, and repaired to Tamma
ny Hull, where the nominations made
by the National Convention of the
party were formally presntd to the
nominees, and accepted, by them.
Iong belore eight o'clock, the' hour
for which the meeting was, culled, the
large hall was filled to excess, whiU
the' street was crowded outside. k The
wigwam, both inside and out, retain
ed the same decorations, and present
ed tho same gay appearance so much
admired by visitors tothe Convention.
At half past eight o'clock, Samuel
J. T.ildon, Esq., being nominated for
chairman ot the meeting, appeared
upon the platform, and said :
srickcti or mr. tilde.
Fellow Citizens : 1 congratulate
you upon this spontaneous assemblage
of the Democracy of our city. I did
not myself know of this meeting until
a lew hours ago; and there dues not
seem to be any organization for the
purpose of carrying it on, and there
fore I have been invited to accept tho
duty of presiding on this occasion,
r.s I came through the hall I saw a
vast mass of people, many times mote
than are here assembled. 1 fcol how
strongly this meeting and the meet
ing outside indicate the spontaneous
uprising of the masses of tho people
to the rescue of 'the country. Ap
plause. For my part, I have not on
tertained any gloomy apprehensions
of the result of the contest on which
we are now entering. I believe in God
and in the people. I believe that we
are destined to preserve and restore
the great framework of American
Constitutional Govortiment ; ap
plause ; that we are to refonnd that
Government on tho liberties of the
people, and that we are to restore, in
evory part of this continent over wbicb
we exerciso dominimi, local self-government
to every integral portion of
of the American people. ou know
that I am not very sanguine in tin
anticipations which I form of politi
cal results; but 1 venture to predict
and I call upon our adversaries to re
cord that- conviction, that if the De
mocracy gather, as I beliove they
will gather to this contest," they will
boar our standard to certain and sure
victory. Appiause. On the whole
I bolievo we have made the strongest
and the best nomination which we
could make. ,1 am willing to accept
the wager ot battle that is before us.
I am willing under tho standard-bearers
we hav chosen, to go forward
and place upon the issues of the day
tho destinies of the Democratic party,
as also the destinies of our country
and mankind ; aye, fellow citizens, I
say, "of mankind," forif this beautiful
and proud specimen of constitutional
govurnmont, that our forefather erec
ted as an expeiiment, shuil fail, be
perfectly assured that there is no hope
for mankind of any effective partici
pation by tho popular masses in their
own government. It will not fail ; it
cannot fail ; and this contest in which
we are now engaging will give us, 1
verily believe, a political revolution
as great and as momentous in its re
sults as that political revolution that
arose in thiscountry and placed Thorn
as Jolcrsor, in the Presidential chair
in 1m.iI, aitd founded the Democratic
party that has prosperously governed
tho country for well nigh sixty years.
It is our mission to restore that parly,
and to restore its principles in the ad
ministration of the Government ; to
restore the liberal policy of former
times, and to give to our people ev
erywhere the assurance or complete
peace after war is over ; of pacifica
tion for every part of our loved land ;
of local self-government ; of individu
al rights; of Individual safety ; of the
re-etblishment of the great guaran
tees of personal 'freedom and consti
tutional rights everywhere npon this
continent. Applause. I now present
to you the committee appointed by j
the National Convention, and Ilora-
tio Seymour, the nominee for Tresi-!
dent of tho United State.
The applause, loud cheering, and
waving of hats by gentlemen, and of
handkerchiefs b ladies with which
Governnor Seymour was greeted hav
ing been at lust finished,
Gen. Morgan said: Governor Sey
mour On behalf of the committee
appointed for that purpose, I have the j
honor to present to you tltia conrimu-1
nicalion, announcing your unanimous j
nomination as the candidate lor the
office of I'rwidont of the United States
by the National Democratic Conven
tion, and on behalf of the'eenservative
Democratic people of tho Slates we
have the honor to represent Lure ; and
we here pledge their united and cor
diul efforts to secure the relief of the
country from the thraldom which now
oppresses it. and to place you as the
Chief Magistrate of tho nation in the
Executive chair.
OOV. BET MOCH'a ACCEPTANCE.
Governor Seymour accepted the
communication amid lo;:d applanso,
followed by three cheers, and replied:
Mr. Chairman and gentlenion of tho
Committoo I thank you for the court
eous terms in which you have commu
nicated to rne the decision of the

the great tide that is whelming our
party on-to victory, and 1 am unable
to resist the pressure. Applause
You also communicuto to me the res
olutions adopted by that Convention.
As its chairman, I am familiar with
their language and their scope; as a
member of the Convention, I am a
party to their terms. I accord with
their views: I eland upon their posi
tion in this content, and 1 shall ever
strive bearafter, whether in public or
in private lito, to earry them into ef
fect. Applause. Our opponents hoped
when this Convention assetiiblcl that
there would be discord in its councils.-
They mistook the intense anx
iety felt by each of its memoirs that
we should do nothing that was not
marked by wisdom and by prudence
for a spirit of doubt and of discord.
But during ij.s lengthened session,
during all the excitement of it pro
ceedings, them was uttered no word of
nnkindness; but there was shown that
spirit of courtesy, patience, forbear
rance, and self sacrifice that is the
sure omen of the great victory which
await ns. (Great applause.) In a few
days I will reply to your communica
tion in writing, by a let'-ur in thecus
tomary form. In tho meantime, ac
cept for yourself and your colleague
my best wishes for your future Lap

that those of your gallant comrades

SPEECH or GEN. SLA i a.
General Francis P. Blair, Jr. I ac
cept the platform of resolutions pass
ed by the late Democratic Convention,
and 1 accept their nomination wilh
feelings of the most profound grati
tude. Applause 1 thank you, sir,
for the vety kind manner ia which
you have conveyed to me the decision
of the Democruiic Convention. I ac
cept the nomination with a feeling
that your nomination for the Presi
dency is one which will carry us to
certain victory (applause) and because
I believe that it waa the most appro
priate nomination that could be made
by the Democratic party. The con
test which we wage is tor the resto
ration of constitutional government;
and it is appropriate that we should.
make this contest under the load of
one who baa given bis life to the main
tenance of constitutional government.
(Applause.) We mako this contest
lor tho restoration of those great prin
ciples of government which belong to
our race (applause) and it is the most
appropriulo that we should select for
our leadera man not in military .life,
but who ha devoted himself to civil
pursuits, one who bus given himself to
the understanding of our Constitution
and its maintenance with all his pow
ers of rensonand judgment." 1 lave
said that the t on lost lietoro us was
one, for. the restoration of our Gov
ernment. It is also for tbo ..restora
tion of our race. (Uproarious an
plause.) It is to prevent tho people
of our-race from being exiled froth'
their homes, exiled from their gov
ernment which they have created tor
themselves and for their children, to
prevent them from being driven out
in exile and trodden under foot by an
inferior and symt buroaroua race, t Re
newed applause.) In this contest wv
shull have the sympathy of every
man that is worthy to belong to the
while race. (Renewed applause.)
What civilised people on earth wonld
refuse to associate with themselves in
all the rights, and honors, and digni
ties of their country, such men as Lee
and Johnston? What country on
earth would fail to do honor to those
who, fighting in an eroneous cause,
yet distinguished themselves by a
gallantry never surpassed r & ppause.)
in that contest, for which they have
been sought to be disfranchised and
exiled from their homes, they prpved
themselves worthy to be our peers.
(Applause ) it is not my purjtoso to
make any lengthened address, butsim
ply to express my gratiludo for the
great and distinguished honor which
has been conferred upon me; and
now from my heart 1 reiterate the
word of thanks that foil from, my
