against his wish, to ,relinquish the practice of his profession.. , ..The; deattinf his wife's father, the late John X. Bleeoker, occurring about the same time edded4o his unman:me cares in the adjustment of important prop., arty interests. Some of the best years •of Mr. Seymour's life, were absorbed In this work, but no doubt : ht mind was being schooled, as it oould not otherwise have been, for ' the graver responsibilities and duties that Were to come in after life. Up to this time Mr.' Seymour had acted no prominent' part in political life, altugh from his youth, as were his ancesto h rs o be fore him be , bad always been strongly attachedAhrongh sympathy and taste, to the Democratic party. In the fall of 1841, when not thirty years of age, Mr. Seymour consented to the use of his name as a Dem ocratic candidate for Member of Assembly. Although the Whigs wore at that time largely In the ascendancy in Utica,Mr. Seymour was triumphantly elected by a largo majority. In the Legislature Mr. Seymour at once Cook a commanding pos ition upon the great questions involving the Interests of the State, engaging in the leading debates with great fervency and as sisting largely In shaping the legislation of the session. Among his Legislative asso ciates were John A. Dlx, Michael Hoffman, David It. Floyd Jones, George R. Davis, Lemuel Stetson, and Calvin T. Ilulburd. The Democrats ut that time were In the ascendency , In both branches of the Legis lature, and the great measure of the session was Michael Holtman's celebrated bill in relation to finances, which was supported and passed by the Democrats. In the suc cess of this measure, which was destined to restore the depreciated Roundel credit of the State, Mr. Seymour took an active end sympathetic Interest, displaying for the first time the forerenalo ability and orator ical power that have since distinguished him. In the spring of 1842 Mr. Seymour was elected Mayor of the City of Utica, despite the continued hostility and opposition of the Whigs. In the fall of 1849, he was again elected a member of the lower House of the Legislature, and Wall re-elected to, and nerved In the.samo position during the ses sions of 1844 and 1845. Tho session of 1840 was an important and exciting ono, th 4 Assembly being agitated with acrimonious contests, chiefly springing from contempla ted opposition to the achninistration of Gov ernor Bolick. The loaders in the debates of the session were Mr. Seymour and Mr. Hoffman, the recognized leader of the Legls• luturo in 1842, and a formidable antagonist in debate, but Mr. Seymour appears to have coped with him successfully, and to have won not only the plaudits or his political associates but the praises of his constituents likewise. The session of 1845 opened with a changed spirit, based upon the victorious election of Mr. Polk to the Presidency. At the outset of this session Mr. Seymour was" induced by his friends to enter the contest for Speakership; to which position he was triumphantly elected, despite a violent fac tional fight, which seriously threatened his prospects. Ono of the prominent and Ina-, portent events of this session was the aloe-' lion of Daniel S. Dickinson to the United Slates Senate, in which Mr. Seymour took it leading and active part, He also ongaged with fervent spirit In the discussion rola. live to the call for n convention to amend the Constitution, but voted against the bill providing for that measure. With this 808- ',lon Mr. Seymour's legislative career was brought ton close. For the succeeding live years Mr. Sey mour was not prominent In public lice, having resumed the practice of law in the City of Utica. By the action of the Legis lature of 1850, providing for the enlarge ment and improvement of the Erie Canal, and appropriating the revenue of the Slate In iltintravemion to the provisions of the constitutiom Mr. Seymour again nekumed a leading position In Slate politics, and most earnestly resisted this effort to over ride the provisions of a constitution so re cently adopted. On account of his strenu ous opposition tb that measure, he was that year (1550),, for the first time, placed in nomination for Governor of this State, In opposition to Washington hunt. The re sult of the election was, for Seymour, 214,- 352 votes; for Hunt, 20,614. Mr. Seymour having been defeated by 262 votes. 1852, Mr. Seymour wee again placed In nomination by time Democratic party, lu position to NVa,liington Ilan) (NVIllg) and tklliithorne Tompkins (Free Soil) with limo following result: .201,121 I Tompkins... ...... 10,2110 .'13,J.7:1(1 Hey moor Hunt Mr. Seymour was triumphantly elected over two competitors as the chief executive iAlleer of the State. Ills administration of State affairs, as generally conceded, was rendered by ability, tact, and good judg ment. While occupying the gubernatorial chair in IM2, he vetoed the notorious Maine law, and the correctness of his views as to the power of the Legislature to pass sump tuary laws sets subsequently fully estab lished by a formal decision of the Court of Appeals. In 1815 , 1 Mr. Seymour was nominated by the Democracy ior re-election, with Myron Clark (Republican), Daniel Ullman (Amurlcan;, and Gluon° G. Bronson (Hard Shell Democrat) as opponents.

Although this election resulted In Mr. Seymour's &foal, It demonstrated very satisfactorily ilk unwanlng popularlty . with thoTeoplo, and his certainty of success with the party united and working for one can didate. At the conclusion of this contest, Mr. Soymour again resumed the work of his profession at Utica. In ovorything ap pertaining to the success of the Democracy ho took au active and sympathetic Interest. Ile attended National and State Conyou. lions with great regularity, and was always accorded a leading position In the councils of the same. At the National Democratic Convention at Charleston, In 1800, he was proposed by the Southern delegulos as a compromiso candid ale between Douglas and Drockinrldge, but owing to the oppo sition of the New York delegation his name was withdrawn. In 1802 Mr. Seymour was for the fourth time placed In notniention Ibr Governor of this Stole by the Democrats, agal nut General Wadsworth, the Republican nominee. The result of the election wits Its follows : Hrynmu Mr. Seymour was thus for the second time elected tiovernor of this State by the lumtleotne majority of 10,752. After an able administration of Iwo years ho was, In 1864, nominated far re-election, this time against Reuben E. Fenton, by whom ho was de feated. At the National Democratic Convention held In Chicago in 1804, Mr. Seymour was with great unanimity chosen its President, and how ahly and efficiently he discharged the duties and responsibilities of that im portant position, the records and history of the Convention will indisputably show. Since that time. Mr. Seymour has delivered many powerful Democratic speeches in various parts of the country, entering each successive campaign In this State with his accustomed vigor, fearlessness and effic iency. At his home in Utica, us well as through out the State, ho is esteemed and respected with that fervor that springs only from true friendship. He has been from early boy hood a faithful and energetic member of the Protestant Episcopal Church, the inter est of which he has labored earnestly to promote, both as an individual member and a leader in her legislative councils. He takes especial interest in educational es tablishments and In the Sunday school, whose usefulness and influence he labors zealous!: prbmoto and ad FICA S PRICSTON II !AI lt, .1 It.

In his twortieth year he graduated at Princeton College, and re. moved to St. Louis, Missouri, and there began the study of law, In which profession lie made rapid progress. In 1845, being thou In his twenty•lifth year, he made ajourney to the Becky Mountains with a party of trappers for the Improvement of his health, which had fulled somewhat, owing to close pursuit of his studies; and on the breaking out of the Mexican war Blair Joined the force under Kearney and the gallant Don• opium In New Mexico, and served es a private soldier until 1847, when Ito returned to St . Louis and resumed the practice of his profession. In 1848, like his father, Francis P. Blair, Sr., he gave his support to the Free Soll party, and In a speech delivered at the Court House in St. Louis, contended against the extension of slavery Into the Territories of the nation. In 1852 he was elected front St. Louis county, Missouri, to tho Legislature its en avowed tree and Ito was muleeted in 1851, though Thom. H. Benton, the Congressional candidata of the Free Hollers, was beaten. In 1850 Mr, Blair was returned to Congress from the St. Louis district, over Mr. Kennett, who had defeated Colonel Benton two years be lore. In 1857 he delivered an elaborate speech In the House of Representatlves In favor of colonizing the black population of the United States in Central America, Mr. Blair was also an editor end writer on the Missouri Democrat at one time.

Mr. Blair was very assiduous in rais ing volunteers In St, Louis, and was the first volunteer of the State of Missouri. Ho raised the first regiment of Missouri Vol unteers, and acted as Its Colonel, albeit lie' did not ' hold a commission as Colonel of the regiment.

It was at this time that Grant pronounced Frank Blair tube the best volunteer general in the United States Army, an opinion that was fully sustained by his conduct inaction and his judgment as a campaigner. In the great march of Sherman to the sea, General Frank P. Blair commanded the Seventeenth Army Corps, the finest corps of the whole army, He' crossed the Ogee ohm)' near Barton, and captured the first prisoners. His divisions laid pontoons across the river, and the two wings were thus united before Savannah. His division was the first to march into Savannah.— From Savannah the Fourteenth Corps was taken by water to Pocotallgo, whence it threatened Charleston, while glocum, with the Twentieth Corps end Kilpatrick's cavalry marched up the Augusta to Sister Ferry threatening an advance on Savannah at Tallahatchie. Blair waded through a swamp three miles wide with water four feet deep, the weather being bitter cold. Hero the Seventeenth had another fight and lost a number of killed and wounded, but drove the rebels behind the Edisto, at Branchville. The army then directed ' its march on Orangeburg. Hero the Seven teenth carried the bridge over the South Edisto by a gallant dash, Blair leading his men, as usual, up to the battery's mouth, which was covered by a parapet of cotton and earth extending as fur as could be seen. Blair threw Smith's division in front, Ile his other division crossed be low and carried the bridge after a hard tight. A half a dozen men of Blair's corps were the first to enter Columbia.

He bade farewell to his troops, July 24th, 181.15, in an effecting address. He was nominated Internal Revenue Collector of Missouri in March, 1865. His nomination was rejected by the Senate. His popularity in the West is very great. Ills past record insures him success. 'logolutiono from lion. A. 11. Meithouo Mr. Wright, of Delaware, offered a series of resolutions In the Now York Convention which he had received from Hon. Alexan der Stephens, of Georgia. The resolutions were rend and referred to the Committee on Resolutions; they were as follows; leeßolved, That In the future es In Pee past wo will adhere with unswerving fidel ity to the Union under the Constitution, us the only solid foundation of our strength, security and happiness as a people, and us a frame work or government equally con ducive to the welfare and prosperity of all the States, both Northern and Southern. Resolved, That the Union established by the Constitution Is a union of States Feder al in Its character, composed of States thereby united, and is incapable of exist ence without the States as its continuing integral parts, and therefore the perpetua tion of the Union in its integrity depends upon the preservation of the States in their political integrity, the Government of the 'United States being a 'Federal Republic, and not a consolidation of the whole peo ple into a nation. Resolved, That the perpetuation of the Union, and the maintenance of the Govern ment, as both were established by the Con stitution, and us both under the Constitution have been expounded in the forgoing reso lutions, in conformity with the venerable teachings of Jefferson, Madison end Jack son, have over been held as cardinal doc trines of the Democratic Party; and they are now reiterated with Increased earnest ness, under the solemn conviction that only by bringing back the administration of the Government to thetime-honored principles, lon which for sixty years there was such unparalled happiness and prosperity,) and in rescuing It from those who have ever held the Constitution itself to be no butler than a "covenant with death and an agree• meat with hell," whose revolutionary policy and measures have brought such general discord, strife and war, with its attendant Ills, upon a large portion of the country, and such wide-spread demoralization throughout the whole of it. Resolved, That the Democratic party, In sustaining the Federal Administration In the lute unhappy conflict of arms, did so in good faith, with the hope and earnest wish to maintain the principles above set forth, and with no view of !' waging war" on the part of the Northern States " in any spirit of oppression" against their brethren of the South, nor for any purpose of conquest or subjugation, nor purpose of overthrowing or interfering with the rights or established institutions of the States ; but to defend and muintnin the supremacy of the Constitution, and to preserve the Union with all the dig• Tilly, equality and rights of the several States unimpaired. The subjugation of these States, or the holding of them as con quered territory would be, in the judgment of this Convention, the destruction of the Union itself. Pesofuer!, That the highest need of patri otism is duo and should over ho rendered to all those who In the recent war periled life or fortune for the maintenance of the Union and the beneficent system of Ameri can Government thereby established, upon the fundamental principles set forth in the foregoing resolution ; but we have neither thanks nor sympathy for those who entered or carried on the contest for the subjugation by Federal authority of the white race In any or the States, to the dominion of the blacks. The right of suffrage, nr who elicit exercise political power, Is a matter that mete under the Constitution exclusively with the several States. There it properly belongs, and there it should continue ever to remain. Letter of President Johnson We give below the letter addreised by a number of citizens of Now York to Presi dent Johnson, asking if he would allow his name to be presented to the Now York Convention as a candidate for the Presiden cy. Tho letter of the New Yorkers Is as follows CITY OF NEW YORK, Juno 24, 1809 To the lion. Andrew Johnson: Stu :—The undersigned, citizens of the city of Now York, having observed with satisfaction your administration of the high est executive °Mee of the nation, and be• having that the patriotism, fidelity to the constitution, and fearlessness which have hitherto marked the performance of your official duties are the highest guaranties as well as the essential qualifications, for the efficient and faithful discharge of a pub lic office for the public good, do respectful ly ask whether, if deemed desirable for the preservation and unity of the conservative interests of the country, you will allow your name to bo presented to the Democratic Convention as a candidate for the office of President of the United States ? Yours, with high respect, N. Cogan!, Thomas Morro!!, William H. Appleton, Henry Grinnell, N. A. Baldwin, James Gallatin, Robt, H. Bra. dell, J. W. Gerard, Jr., Francis Sklddy, Emil Sauer. BEPLY OF THE PRESIDENT. Gentlemen:—To your friendly irmeiry whether "if deemed desirable for the pre. servetion uud unity of the Conservative Interests of the country," I would permit my name to be presented to the Democrat ic Convention as a candidate forth° officeof President of the United States, I would re spectfully' reply that I am not ambitious of further service—l may say, indeed, of fur ther endurance, in thet elevated and re sponsible position, unless by n call so gen eral and unequivocal that it would be un endorsement by the people of my endeav ore to defend the constitution and the re served rights of the several Commonwealths composing what was once in fact the tem per of parties, I can, perhaps, have no ren• solmble ex poet n Eton. Ail history proves that men who, in ()M -etal position, oppose for any reason the cherished schemes devised by Motions to ac quire power, usually ilnd more determined essailants than open end earnest defenders. Hence, in resisting measures which, al though nusteined by Congress, I honestly believed to be onerouehments upon the con stitution, my task has been made arduous and seemingly ungracious by en opposition powerful, wufl organised, and possessing controlling influence in the hulls of legisla tion unprecedented in the history of the country. Compelled to devote my entire time team issues that Lave been famed upon me, end to contend against a majority rep rosonted by two-thirds of each house pf Congress, I have boon unable, whilostrivlng to protect anti maintain the liberties of the puoplo, to cheek extravagant expenditures for °Weals not contemplated by the consti tution, and to enlighten the burdens of tax. Mimi which now rest so oppressively upon the nation. In the midst of those emberresstrionts I have not boon discouraged. When from the public prints, or from some unusually frank and out-spoken friend, I have heard that I "have no party," the suggestion has only served to remind me of a memorable remark, uttered when Motion ruled high in Rome, that "Caine had a party, and Pom pey and Ormolus each n party, but that the commonwealth had nono." - Aiming only, ns the representative of the people, to stand by the rights of the commonwealth, may I not pertinently make the application to my own case? Constrained, In ocoupying my position as the federal Executive, to abide in silence wrongs and oncronahments of the moat in sidious as well as desperate character, or sometimes, when incapable of arresting thorn, permitted only to employ futile pro tests compollod, with only the privilege of 'remonstrance br the alternative of countor-rovolution, to roast revolutionary' projects ; obliged to stolid in tbo attitude of a more spectator, whilst the Invaluable time ofthe nation has been wasted In cause less assaults upon myself and office for the benefit of a Party,l cannot complain If the' poople, while witnessing tle scene, ha Vo not boon 'ape to make my cause thoroughly their own—the : &Nate of tho constitution And law% their own33attle; Until, hOweiier, the peoplel representa A: I'CAtSTE WEERLYANT7iTiLAIGE.W.O ; pJ.WEDNE - I , IIII,IXIMY ' 1 511868: : fives will recognize moreplainly the imper ative needs. of the botitday, by iiirhtening the burdensof excessive and onerous taxa- Won, • and preventing successive limped'. nponthe same article, beginning with its crude state, and 'following it through its several stages of manufacture tons final use and cost—thepeople being thus made to pay extortionately and ruinously these aeon- Mulated faxes; until the time appropriated in Congress to partisan , schemes is devoted more .talegislating for the people's wants, the nation will.have to be content with the mere delusive hope and promise of better times, sineelnere party politics will oontlnue to be' considered Of greater moment than the stuay and practice of political economy and the reduction of tariffs, and the making of a President of more consequenoe 'than the di mi n ntloriof national Indebtedness and a return to sound currency and, specie pay inentp. With the people, then, must rest the cor rection of whatever Is wrong in the respects Indicated ; and if their public servants find them careless of their responsibility—lf the people will not do their duty in seeing that their representatives perform theirs, no Executive will ever have power successfully to defend their rights, and few will care to incur the obloquy consequent upon the at tempt. I am now, however, as I havesver been, In the hands of the people, and at their dis posal. My struggle for the Union and the integrity of the government began longago. Conscious of having honestly discharged my duty, and satisfied that the contest in which I have been compelled to engage will In the end, at let44'intire to tho benefit and, Indeed, safety ofkoargitutional liberty and human rights, I can well afford, I think, to look calmly on the present and await pa tiently the verdict of the fature. Whilst I know that the struggle for the rights of the people and for deference to the constitution Is not yet over, yet believing that with the late palpable failure to do violence to that great instrument and the executive office the worst that faction can for the preffeng' do has been accomplished, I would only, In concluding this brief statementof my views and feelings, express the hope that in the selection by the convention of a candidate for the presidency, whose duty It will be, if elected, to preserve, protect and defend the constitution, and to execute the laws made in pursuance of its provisions, the public good, and leading and well•dafined princi ples will not be sacrificed to the mere pur pose of party ascendency. In conclusion, gentletneu, permit mo to thank you moat earnestly for the kind ex pression of your abiding confidence in me as a public servant, and to assure you that the approval of the people Is all that is requisite to make me feel that the efforts I have made to restore the Union on the basis °gusto° and conciliation have not been altogether in vein. Leaving my cause and myself in their hands, should the con tinuance and the conclusion of the contest to vindicate and preserve constitutional government be confided by them to abler and more worthy hands, I shalt cordially adquiesce, as has been my habit, in the decision of the American people. I have the honor to be, gentlemen, very respectfully, yours, Mr, Pendleton's Letters Tho following le the letter written by Hon. Geo.

MY DRAB. SIRI—You know better than any one the feeling and principles which have guided my conduct since the sugges tion of my name for the Presidential nomi nation. 'You know that while I covet the good opinion of my countrymen, and would feel an honest pride in so distinguished a mark of their confidence, I do not desire it at the expense of ono single electoral vote, (great applause,) or of the least disturbance of the harmony of our party. I consider the success of the Democratic party at the next election of far greater importance than the gratification of any personal ambition, however pure and, lofty it .might be. [Loud cheers.] If, therefore, at any time a name shall be suggested which, the opinion of yourself and those friends who have shared our conflences, shall be stronger before the country, or which can more thoroughly unite our own party, I beg that you will instantly withdraw my name, and pledge to the Convention my hearty, zealous and active support for its nominee. ?Tory truly yours, °BODGE 11.

TUE TAX ON WHISKEY SALFOI.—/mpor tant Circular from the Commissioner of In femur/ lievettue.—Tho following communi cation from Revenue Commissioner E. A. Rollins, Is important to the liquor trade.— It reverses the' general impression that rectifiers tif distilled spiritsaro not required to make monthly returns of sales of rectl- fled spirits, unless it can be shown that ilia two dollar per gallon tax haft boon paid on distilled spirits before roctifloatlon. All sales of such rectified spirits must ho in• chided in the returns of sales. So, also, If character of the original package Is changed by [Mixing the name of the rec tifier to the original punkage, or putting his trade mark thereon. Such rectified spirits um clearly liable to a tax of two dollars on each Mlle of $l,OOO worth of spirits. TIIXAMUIIY DIPAUTNINT, onICIII /1112X/INAL ItEVXI4IIIC, WAIIIIINOTON, JIM 1, I 008. fl Sun John MoDovitt, Eq., attorney at law, No, 221 South Fifth strobe, of your city, has inquired of mo whether a rectifier or wholosulo dealer In liquors, who bias taken out a Deno, and paid special tax as 1111011, is obliged to pity II tax on sales? Tito an swor to this question depends upon whether or not the products of ructlilcation are specifically taxed otherwise than by this tariald on sales in suction four of the act. of March 81,1808. The spacial tax Imposed unon rectifiers is measured In amount by the number of barrels reelltiod t but 1 de not regard this as a specific, tax upon the articles manufactured or prepared for sale, specific] tax hero referring to a tax directly Imposed upon tho artinlo, us upon all dis tilled spirits, "upon ull cotton produced," eta. But rectifiers rectify for the most part distilled spirits, which are specifically tax ed, and the payment of the tax on which the law requires to be shown after rectifica tion as well as before, thus regarding them as retaining oven after rectification the original character in which they wore taxed Wore undergoing that process. Sales of ouch spirits by a ,fectifier or wholesale dealer I do not regard as taxable under sec tion 4. Bales of other artielee thus apucifl catty taxed, and thus retaining the ebarae• fur in which they were taxed, are likewise free from tax; but sides by a rectifier of articles not thus specifically taxed, or not thus retaining their original character, are taxable under section 4. referred to above. pales of articles of this last class by a wholesale dealer in liquors aro taxable If .the dealer, mantilla:duos or prepares tiro articles for ,sale, or puts the same up for sale In packages with his own , name or trade-matk•thereo copy of this letter will beSont to Mr. M oD evlit.
