[N. Y. Express—Copperhead.] This Isa nomination that Is bound to win! That is the conviction which impresses every member of the Convention, and the impression, we feel assured, will be confirmed by their constit uents, the people themselves, in November next The enthusiasm with which the various delega tions come over to his Bupport, after he had been put fairly In the field (in spite of his own persis tent remonstrances) is a foreshadowing of the enthusiasm which his name will evoke all over tbo land—tho sure precursor of coming victory. The news will send a thrill of joy from one end of tbo tepublic to the other. The Empire State goes into the campaign with 60,000 maioritv; and with Seymour to lead, we feel nothing is risked in predicting that she will come out of it with dou ble that for the electoral ticket that has his name at the bead* fTburtow Weed’a Commercial Advertl*er—Politics doubtful J The Domination of' Horatio Boymour by the Democratic National Convention may surprise tbose who believed' that he was sincere in his pledges and. promises of withdrawal, bnt it will not Bnrpriso those who know* the man, and who know that he never declined any office that was offered him. Mr. Seymour is the ablest man in the Demo cratic party. Twice defeated os a candidate for Governor in this State,-and twice elected to that high office, he is, by all odds, the most popular and formidable Democrat in this State. And he will rally all the Democracy to him. As for dis affected Republicans, if there are any. he will draw quite as many as any other Democrat would. [New York Evening Post—Republican.] The Echemcs of Seymour’s friends were so well timed that before the vote was completed a ealute was fired in the street opposite the hall by the Empire Club. As the reports followed each other iu i)nlck succession they were received la the hall by send cheers. Outside of the hall there was nearlv as much excitement.' The rtsult was immediately known throughout the city, and was received with dif ferent demonstrations by Various classes. The choice element which, in'July, 18G3, took such a prominent part In beating down inoffensive negroes in this city, and whom Mr. Beymour ad drcf eed as • his friends,” were exceeding Jubilant, and predicted his election beyond doubt. The thinking men of the party, however, were "nvthlrg but elated, and believed a mistake has been made. (From the Philadelphia Inquirer.] The result of all this business ut New York Is, that Belmont has shown himself more than a match for Vallandlgham. The “bloated bond holders" have triumphed In the nomination for President, and the Abolitionists in that for Vice President. We suppose that both will profeßS that they, are willing to stand on the platform of repudiation and opposition to the negro. Pos sibly they may find timber strong enough to bear them up; bnt as for the thinking members of tbe Democratic party, the men of principle—even if it is perverted principle—when they find that they are called to support ono who has hitherto run counter to the Pendletonian system oi dishonesty, and ono who has been conspicuous in the war against “our Southern brethren,” their sentiments cannot be other tban those of unutterable dis gust, and of belief that they have been irretrie vably “sold.” (The Philadelphia Morning Post.] If the Republican party had been allowed to choose the Democratic candidates, it conld not have made a better ticket for itself than the Dem ocrats have made for it We had not dared to hope for the nomination of Horatio Seymour for.the Presidency; it seemed too great a blunder for such shrewd politicians to commit. Sey mour, of all the Democratic leaders, is the weak est man who conld be opposed to Grant. He bas a plain record, and it is a very bad one. And that such a renegade as Frank Blair should be coupled with him, makes the mistake oi the con tention c»mpleto. and destroys the list hone o f Democratic success. the candidates arc worthy of the platform, and Seymour and Blair, and the principles they rep retent, are all that the Democratic party needed to complete Its ruin. The New York Convention dug the grave of the Democracy yesterday, and now l! has simply to bury itself as decently its its limited means will permit. [From the Philada Ace.] It is wiih unbounded enthusiasm that the De mocracy receive the nomination of Horatio Sey mour. At any time daring the Convention, he conld have stood first on the ballot; but a strong disinclination to public office, led him to prefer the claims of others to his own. His nnanimoas selection as Chairman of the Convention was significant of the general preference which has at last forced npon him the nomination for the Pre sidency. The Convention, at last, literally car ried their candidate by storm. This is, indeed, a case where the office seeks the man, and not the man the office. General Blair’s nomination is heartily accept able to ns, and we appland the wisdom that dic tated it [From the Pbilado. North American. I Mr. Soymonr represents the average sentiment oi his party .which is not Democratic, os its name falsely imports, bat Copperhead to the backbone. A more reckless, desperate, unscrupulous and plausible demagogue could not be found in the whole length and breadth of the party than the one thus selected to be the standard-bearer. **!****** The party is not fit to live. It ought to be dis banded, and the elements left to their own course. Under a war candidate it might have deceived the people. Bnt under such a man as Seymour it must sink into the abyes prepared for it by the Fates. I * #.. * « * H* V V Gen. Bldir has no qualifications whatever cal culated to-fit him for so exalted a post as that of the Vice Presidency of the United States. His habits have been for years disgracefully bad; far worse, in fact, than those of Andrew Johnßon ever were; ana his presence in the chair of pre siding officer of the Benate would be a mortifi cation to his country. As a soldier we know little or nothing of his career that Is to his credit. [From the Philada. Press.] The nominations of yesterday moke the con test of the campaign of 1868 an easy one. It is simply the old conflict of the war. The issues are not changed—the lines are not altered—what was decided in 1864 at the polls, and in 1865 on the field, cannot be reversed now. It is a little tame to go over the same old ground; to argue the same old questions; to appeal to the same old motives of devotion and loyalty, but the mo notony of sueh a campaign may well be borne when it secures victory- Soymonr’s nomination is an affront to every Union soldier, an insult to the friends and memo ry of every dead hero, and an ofiTence to every loyal man. If the Democracy can bear this bur den, we find no fanlt with their choice. [From the Lancaster Express—Republican.] If the democracy are satisfied with Seymour, certainly the Republicans have no reason to complain; for undoubtedly, if not the weakest he is far from tho strongest man that was named in the Convention, and unless we are greatly mis taken, from this day forward tho election of Ulysses 8. Grant may be set down as one of the most certain of future events. [From the Washington Star—Republican.] Opinions vary here concerning the strength of Mr. Seymonr as a candidate. It is certain, how ever; that the nomination fails to elicit any en thusiasm on the part of the Democratic politi cians, apd that the leading Republicans of tho capital receive it with tho positive feeling of re lief. The lattor hold that Seymour’s war record will bo fatol to him in the Erst and his financial position in tho West. The Democrats aver, how ever, that, their platform is to do the business, PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, JULY 10, 1868. and that Seymour or anybody else can be run in on it with a rush. The coolness of feeling hero 'in Democratic circles over the nomlnatlonls dno to the fact that Seymour has few partisans here, most of the Democratic politicians having taken strong ground for other candidates, more espe cially for Hancock. The Blair family have worked to some purpose in effecting the nomination of Gen. Frank Blair for the Vice Presidency,after he had failed for the first place on the ticket. This is a bid for tho soldier vote. [Prom the No w York Tribune.] If the Democratic Convention had been intent on selecting that candidate for President least likely to win Bepnblican votes and most certain to arouse and intensify Republican opposition. It could not have hit the mark more exactly. Ho ratio Seymour has been the deadliest, most Im placable enemy throughout, of the Ideas which triumphed in the abolition of slavery and dis comfiture of the rebellion. 1 He was an open advocate and champion of that Nebraska bill whereby slavery shamelessly repudiated a solemn compact whereof she had reaped the full advantage, and strove to wrest from frpe labor a vast region which she had quitclaimed for a valuable consideration-in hatuC For tho victims In Kansas of Border Ruffian arson, out rage and murder, be had never a word of cheer or sympathy. Ho was for Bnchanan against Fretnont when this State gave tho Pathfinder a plurality of 80,000. He was for anybody against Lincoln in 1860, when New York gave the latter a clean majority of 50,000. Mr. Lin coln being elected, he insisted that the Republi cans should give up their cardinal principle of No Extension of Slave Territory, or be held ac countable for the Rebellion that the slaveholders wonld otherwise initiate. He attended the Tweddle Hall Convention, in Albany, Jan. 31, 1861; and there—because the Republicans in Congress kept quiet, and did not ask pardon of the Slave Power for having elected a President assailed them abusively. Governor Seymour proceeded to demonstrate, after his fashion, that the South was so strong, so earnest, so united, that she conld never be pnt down, and that we hod no question to decide but this: “Shall we compromise after war ? or compro mise without war ?’’— which, yon sec, wasn't the real question at all, at all. —A few weeks later, Mr. Seymour, meeting Judge Charles H. Ruggles, asked him: “Judge, have yon read the Confederate | Montgomery] Constitution? * * * 1 have; and it iu better than ours (the Federal). Then why not,” he continued, “obviate all difficulty, by simply adopting that [Confederate] Constitution?”— that is to say, by giving up the Union, joining ibe Southern Confederacy, and thus making every State a Slave State, and all our territory Slave territory, evermore. Such is the man, and such the ideas which have directed his political course. ' Naturally, he kept on railing more and more fiercely as President Lincoln was constrained to strike directly at slavery, the core and main-spring of the Rebellion, each blow at tbe hideous “institution" evoking his decided, vigorous protest. When at length Grant’s long pause before Vicksburg, and Hooker’s failure at ChancellorsviUe, had been followed by Lee’s de termined advance into Pennsylvania, the hopes ot the Copperheads seemed on the very brink of realization, Horatio Seymour, then Governor of the State, came hither to deliver to his cronies a Fourth of July oration, wherein he exulted oyer their brightening prospects openly. [ The Tribune then quotes Seymour's infamous speech, in which he maligns the Union soldiers, and prophesies the success of the already lost cause.] 1 , —Such was the “fire in the rear” which, though opened too late to avail Jbee In Pennsylvania, etrved to stir up tho great rebellion iu this city, whereby so many houses were burnt, negroes bunted through our streets like wolves, hanged and burned when caught, and the Colored Orphan Asylum pillaged andrmmed to the ground. It was a body ofthose rebel rioters, fresh from the sack of the Tribune office, which they fired and would have burned but for the prompt interposi tion of the police, that he addressed as “friends," and begged to desist from their work while ne should send’ to Washington and get the draft (which was their pretext) postpone or averted. Not one indignant remonstrance, not one earnest tbreat, not one word evincing displeasure, did he addrees to the miscreants whose dens were then slutted with plunder aB their hands were red with murder. The next antnmn, Seymour procured a renom ination for Governor by his characteristic dodge of affecting to decline, andtf tumped tho State as advocate of his own election and that of McClel lan and Pendleton. Everywhere, (we appeal to the thousands who heard him,) he insisted that no progress had been made toward putting down (be Rebellion (though Grant held Richmond by the throat, and Sherman hod taken Atlanta, while the Mississippi ran free from the Ohio to the Gnlf) —that the credit of the Rebel government in Europe was better than that of the ■Union—and that onr National Debt already nearly equaled the valne of all the property in the country, renderingreal estate valueless and industry fruitless. We appeal to those who heard him to sustain onr assertion that every one of his carefully rounded and daily reiterated para graphs wonla have elicited tho enthusiastic shouts of any rebel army, as his nomination in Tammany was hailed with the frantic, stentorian -acclamation of the thousand rebel Congressmen, Generals, Colonels, &c., there assembled, which have by this time been echoed in every rebel conclave from the Potomac to the Rio Grande. —Such is the chosen leader of the hosts of Reaction and Aristocracy, in the contest now opened. No man ever heard of his uttering a generous word for the ignorant, lowlv, down trodden African—all these he would disfranchise to-morrow if he bad power, while he insists that the South shall be given over to the keeping of her haughty Rebels, who hold that they have committed no wrong and forfeited no right in conspiring and fighting to destroy Jhe Union. If this man can be chosen President'over Ulysses 8. Grant, then the patriot blood poured out like water at Gettysburg, Vicksbnrg, Mission Ridge, and in the advance to Richmond, was shed "in vain. [From the N. Y. Herald.] The die is cost. The Democratic Convention has decided that oar next President shall be Gen. Grant. There was a splendid opportunity offored this Convention, in the nomination of Chief Jus tice Chate, to cany off the balance of power from the Republican camp, North’and South, East and West, and to inangnrate in the ap proaching Presidential election a substantial and pndnring conservative revolution. The advan tages of this nomination were at once appreciated by the democratic masses and the independent thinking men of the party with tho agitation of hia name as tho democratic candidate for the crisis, and they were enthusiastic in the canse of Chase; bnt the party jugglers of this Tammany Hall Convention had a different game to play. The old fable of the mountain in labor has been fnlly realized, and the delivery is a ridicu lous mouse as the Democratic Presidential can didate against the conqueror of the rebellion. Seymour against Grant in 1868. amounts to a Democratic surrender or a disbanding of the Democratic party. The...ticket of McClellan against Lincoln was a strong ticket compared with this of Seymonr against Grant. It has no prestige but that of defeat. In 1862,. indeed, Mr. Beymour was elected Governor; but it was on the platform of “a more vigorous prosecu tion of tho war.” In 1868 be returned to his idols of the Copperhead faith,and there ho would have remained but for the blunders of the Ropub cans and their divisions in : the State elections of last year. Now, as in 1863, ’64, ’65, and’66, after their successes of 1862, all the. capital and ah the foothold gained by the Democrats have been thrown away and lost, aud the battle of 1864 Is revived, with some changes to be sure, but as againßt Seymour they are Si in favor of Grant. ; ' There is nothing in Seymonr, nothing in his record, nothing In his platform that will bring a OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. single recruit to tho Democratic party,—but everything to rally the whole floating vote ot the United Btates, with all the conservative Re publicans, around the glorious banner of Grant. It is supposed by his friends and political trainers that Seymonr is at least good lor New York, with its fifty thousand Democratic majority of last fall. That majority, however, was deloslvo—the result of Republican disaffections and divisions— which only the nomination ' of' Chase as the Democratic candidate could have turned to a substantial advantage in this cam paign. Seymonr against Grant will bring all the Republicans into line, and the result will be an other political reaction, which will give New York to Grant by twenty, thirty or forty thou sand majority. ■ * * . . . 4>' p - * • * We can give no counter ance to this retrograde movement of the Democratic party. The suc cessful movements of the age are progresslve.and we must go with them. All the world is going foarard, except onf Democratic party. Jt is ; bellied Austria, Russia, Turkey and China; for they all recognize the necessity of shaping their ■ policy to the pressure of living events. Seymonr Is behind the age. and Blair, as a soldier, pinned to hla ticket, makes a mockery of the comblna-. tion. Grant and Colfax against each, a ticket will sweep the country Horn the Atlantic to the Pa cific, becanse the blockheads of the Democratic party will have it that we are still living under the riffime ot poor Pierce and Bnchanan. . The one great fact which rises in judgment against Mr. Seymonr is, that, : as Governor, his whole power was. exerted against the National Government. Elected on the distinct ground that tho aid of the State should be given to make more vigorous the prosecution of the war, he Used the opportunities and inlluence of his office to foster discontent, to impair the efficiency of Mr: Lin coln’s administration, and so to enconrago and prolong the rebellion. His sympathies and plans were on the side of those who would have rendered the continuance of tho straggle for the Union Impossible. He was an effective ally of the Copperheads, and exerted his energies to array the State against tho Republic. He sowed the seeds of sectional quarrels, as between New York and the West on one hand, and New Eng land on the other, and for tWo years was m reality the most formidable enemy of the Govern ment not actually In arms against it. When the caneo of tbe Union triumphed, it was in spite of the adroit, persistent, and most mischievous en deavors of Mr. Seymonr. To moke such a man the standard bearer of the Democratic Party against Grant is to away that party in an attitude hostile to tbe pacification of the country. There are many who fonght man fully against the Union who are now laboring for Its preservation and prosperity. And it is at least possible that a frank acceptance of the situation by Mr. Seymour, before this nominatibn offered the temptation to dissimulate, would have been treated as In large part an atonement for offi cial acts in the Copperhead service. But coming forth as he does the champion of a party ■ which withholds acquiescence from the results of reconstruction, .and menaces these results’ with threats which.may culminate.in renewed trouble, we cannot forget that the Horatio Seymour who is to wrestle with Grant for the Presidency, did what he conld to weaken tho Union soldier on the battle-field. It is meet that he who labored, secretly, to snccor the rebels, should now be the nominee of a party intent npon undoing the results of victory. The nomination deserves additional significance from the purposes boldly avowed by bis associate on the ticket. The alliance of. Seymour, who plotted against the Union, with F. P. Blair, who gallantly fought to save it, would be most incon gruous but for tho epistle with which the latter sought to commend himself to the good graces *jf Cixj, convention, ivoituug muro revuiutfuuury than his proposition has appeared. It threatens the overthrow of reconstruction, the undoing of all that has been done, and the re-establishment in power of the old disloyal whites, by sheer usurpation and force. Considering Mr. Blair’s letter in conjunction with Mr. Seymour’s record, and both with the platform adopted by the Con vention, we must conclude that the position and policy, of the Democracy are hostile to the' peace which above all things the country needs. Such a ticket, resting on each a .platform, in spires no apprehension of snceess. Seymour, withnll his ability, has never filled a national office, and his reputation is not great outside the State. Blair, who once stood well with the Western volunteers, has ruined his standing by his recent surrender to the enemy. The ticket, therefore; Is not a strong one. It will not bring out even the full Democratic vote, and' it. will assuredly disgust the non-partisan element, with out whose support the Democracy would, under any circumstances, strive in vain. Horatio Seymonr is, beyond all question or contest, the first statesman in the Democratic party—the one who most fully represents its principles, who has the most consummate ability to expound them with luminous clearness, whose mind is the broadest, whose culture is the most thorough, whose dignity of chSracter and bear ing is best fitted to adorn a great station, and to magniiy even the high office for which he has been nominated. He possesses, in a pre-eminent degree, every personal qualification and accom plishment which befit the Chief Magistrate of a great nation. In tho next place, Mr. Seymonr has a strong grasp of the questions which relate to tho resus citation of the shattered prosperity of the country, and the maintenance or the financial boiior of the country—that is to say, of the ques tions which will chiefly occupy attention during tho next Presidential term. * * * * * * His election would establish confidence, both at home and abroad, ip the financial honor of the conntry, and Bettle that confidence on the firmest foundation. His recent noble and high-toned speech in the Cooper Institute is the only docu ment which his supporters will need to circulate among the business classes to convince them that their interests and those of the laboring masses can be harmonized, and the national honor main tained, only by his election. Entertaining such views, hisinfluence in that class of questions will be potential even with the Republican Senate. By nominating him, the Democratic party has opened the way to a sound currency, to the re vival of industry, to the reduction of taxation, to a great strengthening of the public credit, to a change in the form of tho national debt by new loans at a greatly reduced interest, and taxable at the same rate as other descriptions of proporty. Again: Mr. Seymour has always been so con sistent and thorough a Democrat, and his popn larlty and: inflnence in the party are so un bounded, that he alone possesses the moral weight requisite for adapting the polioy of tho party to the altered circumstances of tho conntry. No secondary statesman conld act with the au thority and independence which are needed to engineer the Government in the face of a hostile Senate, and in the new condition of things which results from the overthrow of the , regular State governments of the South. The ship of State is to be piloted through difficult ana obstructed channels, and it will need no small degree of po litical courage to make such concessions as may be necessary for securing co-operation on the part of the Senate, and of the de facto State gov ernments of the South, in an attempt to re-estab lish the supremacy of tho Constitntlon. * * * * * # The nomination of Francis P. Blair,-Jr., for Vice President will meet with general accept ance. It was fit that tho candidate for Vice president should be a Western man, a soldier, apd a representative of that largo class of Re publicans who have become disgusted with the revolutionaty measures of their party. General flair’s unimpeachable record daring tho war, hia decision of character, and his vigorous opposi tion to the Reconstruction policy Of the Radi cals, commend mm, and’the ticket on which his name is placed, to the zealotfs support of all who fought for the Union but abhor negro supremacy.

It’s cold in the clear bine ether, That tbe king of the eagles achieves: Bat the swallows have endless summer, And build close under oar eaves. And.tho voices that bid you. welcome Are many, and tender, and true— They’d not shout for the best of the poets As load as they’re hailing yon! Como to the homes of tho people, : Where your household words are dear; There’s seldom a poet has sung them Such lyrics of courage and cheer. Tbe poet who taught '‘Resignation,” Who sang us tho “Psalm of Life’’— You are dear to them all. Professor, Child, parent, husband and wife !■ Aye, let Universities seat you r .

Spoecb by tbe Pope-Letter from Juarez to tbo Pope—Arcnaeloglcal Discover let. Tbe Roman correspondent of tho Fall Mall Gazette writes, under date of June 19: “The 17th iDStant was the anniversary of the Pope’s accession; and brought to the Vatican ail tbe hierarchy and functionaries of tbe Eternal City, together with tho diplomatic body, to pre sent their congratulations to his Holiness. Those of the Sacred College wore delivered by Cardinal Patrizi, the sub-dean, and drew Horn the Holy Father the following response: .‘The war between good and evil is more ancient than the world. It commenced before the creation.ln the straggle between St. Michael and Satan. In the present day it rages with the same fury In Italy, where It is the dally cause of every crime and every spoliation. Against Rome, above all, evil directs its attacks, becanse it seeks to*destroy, If possi ble, the centre of Catholic unity. Happily, the incessant assaults and alarms of which wo are the object have produced a salutary reaction. Henceforth cmr defence is not only iaap elevated spirit, free from prejudice, in the prayers of be lieving and religious hearts, offered up for us to the Most High, and in the wishes expressed for our triumph: but the reaction is universal, and every day brings here from all parts of the world zealous priests and venerable bishops, who show themselves penetrated with the sanctity of the place, and exclaim, ‘ ‘ Fere locus iste sanctus est.” Here they repose from their labors, and find consolation for the sorrows from which no one, alas! is free. But the holiness of the gronnd wo tread Imposes npon ns all, and on each of us in particular, the duty of edifying the world by our actions. It is thus only that we can make a worthy return for the blessings which God has poured npon this land, blessed above every other. The Lord holds in his divine hands the scales, in which not only onr sufferings, bnt our actions, ore weighed. Let these lost be sucli as conform to His holy will, in order that modern Rome may be spoken of in the same terms which were applied to the Rome of old, “Quod non possidet armis reilglone tenet.” ’ "TLv P»iL*r law rtn>vt IvO wu M^rgrHuU letter from Juarez, the President of Mexico, de ploring the differences which have arisen between him and the Holy See. The Mexican rnler de clares that it was exceptional circumstances which forced him into hostility to theCharch and her ministers, and that he avails himself of the first opportunity to seek a reconciliation. To effect this, he requests that some bishops may be seat to Mexico, promising to receive them with every honor, ana ho concludes his letter by supplicating the Pope’B benediction for himsolf and the Mexi can people. The Holy Father has been propiti ated by the appeal, and in the consistory of the 22d ' will preconize six bishops for Mexico. He will also announce the convocation of the (Ecumenical Council for the Bth of December, 1869. Among the questions to be submitted to tho council, the most interesting at tho present moment iB the policy of separating church and state. It is found that the Roman Church is most flourishing in those countries, such as Eug land and the United States, where it is not the established religion, as in France, Austria and Spain, in all of which it is losing its hold on the people. “Yesterday the excavations of the Emporia a Romanum on the banks of the Tiber brought to light a noble archaeological and historic relic, in the shape of an enormous block of Carrara marble, measuring five hundred and eighty-five cubic metres, ana bearing a long inscription. The block was uncovered in the presence of the Senator of Rome and a number of distinguished persons.” abt irens. Death oe Wundeuucii, tue Aiitist Last Wednesday died, at the age of fortv-two, Mr. George Wunderlich, a pains-taking aud worthy artist of this city. Mr. Wun derlich was principally known to the art circles as a painter of theatrical scenery, at which branch of the profession he worked with patient assiduity the greater part of hiß life. A panorama from his brush went the rounds of the country some years ago; it represented the events of the Revolution, and Mr. Wunderlich os a Pennsylvanian did cre dit to his State by his careful representation of Valley Forge and Borne other local Beenes of war like note; it was introduced by a gigantic copy of Trumbull’s Battle of Bunkor £llll, the figures in which, for a scenic or landscape artist, were considered very creditable. Mr. Wunderlich', however, had aspirations beyond the mere scene painter, and for many years was seen nightly at our Academy of Fine Arts, seated before the life-model and humbly studying In the ranks of jounger men to perfect his knowledge of the human figure. Of late Mr. Wunderlich has surprised his friende by a total change of style, as radical as ever was made by a theatrical artist. Completely forsaking the sense of effect and com position which his life’s experience had made easy to him, he threw himself Into the front ranks of the pre-Raphaelites, painting scenes of humble lanscape without composition and without ss lection. Threo pictures in this vein wore exposed by him at the last annual exhibition at the Academy, two of which were landscapes of a very minute finish, while the third represented Lucy Ashton at the Fountain. These pictures bad the crudity of experiments, and resembled some of the botanico-londscapo efforts of the English school. . Mr. Wunderlich was a man of rotired habits, holding somewhat aloof from the society of his brothers of the brush. In other circles, how ever, he was a gonial and cherished companion, and at the Lime of bis death bolonged to Decat,'r Lodge, 33,1- 0. O. F., Penna. Encampment, No. 111, and the Philada. Odd Fellows’ Relief Asso ciation. He was recently elected a Mason One of Seymour’s Friends.

He exactly compre hends the situation. Seymour is the man who, in 1863, addressed the New York droit rioters, burners of orphans’ asylums, and murderers of innocent negroes, as my “friends.” —On last Friday Seymom* said that the Presi dential office was far above hlsmerits.

The sale was attended by a great many of the clergy, and good prices were realized. —Seymour declared that “his honor” would Erevent his acceptance of the nomination. Bat e has accepted.

There was tomb-nek gravity about the proceedings. —Seymour asked a few days ago: “ What claim have the Republicans upon the soldiers ?” Certainly, he has none.
