Knplmel Sumni?s wus the first sneaker at
the Democratic meeting in Mobile, A In., on
Mommy evening, to rutily the nonuniUion of
Seymour aud liluir. lie said that he was
not prepared to make a speech. The notice
of tho meeting Gist anight his eye nt his
country place, and it induced him to come
to the city und rejoice over the action of the
great aud glorious Democratic Party. Sub
sequent to the war, when a great muny of
tliu Southern Politicians were willing to
compromise their principles for their love of
ollice, he despaired of the country nnd kept
himself aloof from politics, lie had lacn a
Democrat all his life before the war, during
tho wnr,'and since the war and fought the
war on the principles of Democracy, lielicving
that the grand old Constitution which em
bodied these principles was about to bo de
stroyed. Continuing he said :
'There is really but one grand issue in this
contest, and thut is tho restoration of these
States to their proper places in the Union,
with all their lights nnd privileges unim
paired. This issue will have the effect to
drive from our midst tho hordes of adven
turers who havCswnrmed upon us like vul
tures, to eat up tho substance of the people.
This issue will again reduce the negro to a
subordinate position as tho inferior race,
nnd restore the white man to the govern
ment which belongs to him. 'When you
have settled this issue it will be time enough
to talk about policy. It will be time enough
to ritl ourselves of tho leprous nrmy which
has been battening upon the wealth of the
South. It will be time enough to settle
questions of currency. It will be time enough
to destroy the tariff and taxation uuder
which tho nation has been giouuing. Aud
now, fellow-citizens, I have come here to
declare that I havo given in my allegiance,
heart und soul, to the old flag, provided we
can restore tho old Hag again to be the rep
resentative of the principles of th Constitu
tion, which wo will be able to effect by the
electiou of Seymour oud lilair.
HOW THE EX-UKUELS TALKED IX BAI.TIMOltK-
General Wade Hampton, by invitation,
addressed the Democratic Association of
Baltimore on Thursday night. Speaking of
reasons why a son of South Carolauu should
make open acknowledgments to the State
of Maryland, he said :
"I remember that when I was a soldier in
the glorious army of Northern V'irginia, tho
sons of Maryland swept across the borders
aud agaiu stood side by side with South
Carolina in a great contest for liberty. (Ap
plause.) For three years I commanded a
regiment of Murylauders, and here, on their
own soil, among their acquaintances nnd
friends, I wish to say that among all the
bravo aud truo men ot that immortal army,
nono were truer ur.d braver than the soldiers
of White's battttliou. (Applause.) It be
longed to what was called the Laurel Bri
gade, airtl when its Brigadier-General (Uos
ser) expected sharp and decisive work, 1 al
ways knew it, becauae White's battalion was
in front.
"He used to order Colonel White 'if ho
met tho enemy to ride over him,' aud it
would havo to be a very strong and very
bold party indeed that White would not
ride over. Some of those gallant men may
bo present; if not I hope my voice may
reach them, that they may know that their
commander prays for their happiness wid
prosperity. As they were brave, and truo
and honorable soldiers, they must now, with
that same fidelity they displayed in timo of
war, devote themselves to tho arts and the
pursuits of peace; thoy must, as then, devote
themselves for the benefit of their country,
to upholding the Constitution, the L'nion
mid the laws, and go to work, as the most
effectual means of so doing, for Seymour and
Blair, (Applause.) It is scarcely necessary
for me to give this advice, possibly, as every
man I havo met in Murylaud is for Seymour
and Blair."
Colonel Thomas F. Bowie was called for,
and Bpeukiug of the war, said it began with
the purest patriotism, and though it was not
successful it was to sustain the Constitution
of the United States. With the fall of the
South, feU the Constitution, and it is now
crushed uuder foot, The miserable traitors
aud conspirators, the lUdical faction, had
legislated unconstitutionally all the time.
In the course of bis remarks he spoke of the
financial question, and said bondholders
should be tased, "for they gave thoir money
to prosecute the most unholy war ever known
on tho earth."
Heretofore the Democrats have objected
to tho Kepublicau party on the ground that
it was sectional that it had no members iu
the south. Now they complain that it has
more members in the South, than it ought
to hk.
Wlint Senator Vutcat hjijm or Hen.
4 J runt.
George Alfred Townsend has recently had
an interview with Senator Yates, and inter
rogated him ns to his reminiscences of
Grant's military career early in tho war,
with the following result:
"Grant," said the Governor, "came down
to Spritigtiuld dressed in common working
clothes. Ho looked very much as ho does
now, ordinary, taciturn, unpretentious.
When he presented himself to me ho said :
" 'Governor, tho United States educated
mc. I want to ho ot use to her now mat
she is in danger.'
lutes nsked him what he wished to have:
" 'Any place where 1 can bo useful,' said
Grant, 'it dou't "matter much.'
1 ho system at that timo was to commis
sion only oliiccrs who had raised companies.
xates, hurried nnd overrun, told (Jrant to
look in again. After a few days Grant, whose
money had nearly run out paying hotel
board, dropped in again, hat in hand, aud
asked l ates it anything had turned up.
'tan you write military orders t 'asked
the Governor.
"Yes !"
"Well I I'll give you ft desk in my office
und you'll find plenty to do."
"There," srtid Yates, "Grant worked away
sntisfactoiily, though my hands were full
anil everything was more or less disorgan
ized. I had no time to observe him, and
ho was never forward to speak. Afterward
1 put him in the Adjutant General's ollice,
and although we did not know it particu
larly at the time, we hnvo found since thut
ho laid the foundation there of what is now,
probably, the best Adjutant General's ollice
in the United States. Before the war it was
nothing. During all this time Grant was
seldom in my;nind. I had too much to do
to keep personal watch over every officer in
the Stnte, aud did not look out particularly
for tho coming man. But Grant made no
mistakes, and I saw that his West Point
knowledge was useful to us.
"Near by bpringliold there was a large
camp, termed Cuinp Yates, containing thirty
thousand, perhaps. It was a source of au
noynuce to me. I could not find anybody
to keep the men subject nnd see that they
were made clean, properly fed and taught
the germs of organization. I sent Grant
out there, and pretty soon complaint ceased.
Then I sent him on a tour to various camps
through tho State, but still I hail no com
mand to give him under the arbitary system
of giving only those places who had raised
organizations, llo went away, nt last, to
visit Covington, Kentucky, where his father
lived. I did not liko to seo our Illinois boys
enter the service of1 another commonwealth,
and I found a chance directly to displace a
colonel, or rather to send him to a different
command, and then I telegraphed to Grant:
" 'Will yuu take command of tho th regiment ?
Answer. HicmiiD Yates.
Grant replied :
'"I Will! Start immediately ! U.S. Urast.'
"IIu arrived promptly and took the posi
tion. Still, I had no exalted expectations
of him. llo was not a brisk, nervous, at
tractive man. His face aud figure w ere not
so striking that anybody could pick him
out ufa troop, like Saul, and he did not say
enough to interest me. Out of two hundred
and eighty two colonels that 1 commissioned
I thought it as probable that two hundred
and eighty-one of them would become fa
mous as Grant.
"He did one thing, however, which I have
since thought wus significant of his future
good scute and enterprise. His regiment
was the most demoralized one that wo had
in Illinois. It had become insubordinate
and allowed to go to seed. Grant started
the process of breaking it in by compelling
it to march across the State of Missouri, and
ho was the first of our colonels who had
economy and pluck enough to save us the
delay aud expense of railway transportation
in this maimer. Iu this march lie stopped
straggling and orchard robbing by a device
original, good humored aud effective. He
made every straggler carry a feuco rail iu
line, aud as the march itself was tolerably
laborious, the fence rail did its work. He
made a tiue fighting regiment of those men."
After speaking on many other trivial mat
ters, Governor Yutcs said, iu conclusion :
"Hero worshippers will bo disappointed
in Grant. I dou't take it to bo any stolid
ness of mine that failed to perceive genius
iu him. Nobody else did. His genius is
not ostentatious nor dramatic. It is the
genius of accomplishment that he has.
When his work is done, thcro it is, done ;
and there is the man, except for tho woik,
ordinary as before. I don't make up for this
error of perception by visiting the General
tw ice as much now as before ; but iu the
light of his achievements I feel tho samo
confidence and satisfaction iu him thut ull
tho people feel. The democrats feel it too ;
ho hus no enemies iu our State but political
ones, and one or two personal ones, like Mc
Clernaud. Wo will elect him with ease."

Tho Montgomery (Ala.) Hail says the
following resolutions were unanimously
adopted at a recent missionary meeting iu
one of the colored churches iu that city :
Kcsulvcd, That wo will give soinlhing.
llcsulvcd. U'hut we will give according to our
ability.
Ilosolved, That e will givo willingly.
After tho resolutions were read nnd ap
proved, and passed, a leading member took
his seat at the table, with pen and ink, and
put down what each camo to contribute.
Mttuy advanced to the table and handed iu
their contributions, some more and some
less. Among the contributors was an old
negro, who was very rich almost as rich as
the rest united. He threw down a small
bill. "Take dat back again," said the chair
man of the meeting. "Dut may bo 'cordin'
to do fust resolution but not 'cordiu' to de
Becoud. The rich old man accordingly took
it up, and hobbled back to his seat, much
enraged. One ufter another cume forward,
and all giving more than himself, ho was
ashamed, and again threw a larger bill on the
table, saying, "Dar take dut." It was a
twenty-dollar greenback, but it was given
with so much ill Icmpur that tho chairman
answered, "JS'o, sail ; dat won't do ! Dat
may be 'cordiu' to do fust aud second resolu
tions, but not 'cordiu' to do third." llo was
obliged to tuke it up again, Still angry
with himself, he sat a laug time, until! nearly
all were gone, aud theu advanced to the
table, and, with a smile ou his countenance,
laid a large sum of money ou the table, "Dar,
dat berry well," said the presiding member ;
"dat will do ;datau 'cordiu' to all do reso

CosFKDitiT X Ho ads, (wich
ts in mo state uv Kentucky,) July 13, 1803.
l tlutti t stay in Noo Yoik till theConven-
shen adjourned, for n most excellent reason
to wit, via: my money run out. Tho Mile
sian female with whom I wuz I'orst to
bonrd, required payment in advance, nnd
uv coorse tinder sieh an arrangement there
wuz nothing left for me but to Btiecum. The
length uv my stay redoost itself to a mero
matter uv money. I tried tho boirowin
dodge, nnd the cheekin dodge, but good
Lord ! wat cood I do with an entire Coiiveu
shen, all uv 'em more or less try in to live in
tho samo way ? I left and come home while
I cood, aud before it was everlastingly too
late. When 1 left I spozed ther wuz no doubt
uv tho uoniiuaslien uv 1 eniiielon. The
"young eagle uv tho West" hed received 135
votes, nnd wuz ngainin, nnd Seymour hed
declined so often aud so persistently that
goiu back on my yoosucl disbeleef in these
tellers, lieven declined a great many olhces
myself that I wanted, I reely beleeved tho
cuss wuz in earnist, and saw notbiu that
cood stand between Pendleton and success.
Ez 1 left the Ohio river, I got out tho reech
uv railroads aud telegraphs, and I told the
people all along that Pendleton hed bin
nominated on the Kith bnllot, and that the
country wuz ablaze with euthosiusm for him
and greenbax, so certain wuz I uv his suc
cess. On urrivin at tho Corners I found that in
tense anxiety wuz manifested by thecitizens
thereof. They were all gathered at Bascom's
cli.scussiu the matter when I hove iu site on
a mule wich 1 hed borrowed at Secession
viile to ride over onto.
"Who is it f" asksDekin Pogrnm, ketcliin
the mule by tho bridle. "Who is it, and
wat principles hev we got to support this
falU"
"Pendleton nnd greeubax," shouted I,
"Pendleton, tho young eagle uv the west,
who is opposed to the bloated nristocratic
bondholders, which wood crush us labrin
men into the dust. Pendleton, who be
lieeves that ef greenbnx is good enuff for us
honest iuborin men, they tiro good enuff
for the aristocrat, who liko tho King in the
nursery rhyme, sits in his parlor, couutin
the money. Pendle "
"Enuff!" sed Bascom, "enuff. Save that
speech, Parson, till we hev our ratification.
Iu the meantime, get off aud tako sutliin.
So good do I feel over the result, that I am
williu to stand treet for the crowd. Come
ono, come all."
These lew remarks of Bascom's wus hail
ed w ith satisfaction. Kz ono man tho entire
crowd moved into his place,-and as one man
they all asswaged their thirst. Bascom cbh
move the Corners quicker than any man iu
it. Wat a happy posishen is hizzin !
The next nite it wuz tlesided to hev a rati
licashen, that the Corners mite contribbit
her mite towards swellin tho enthoosiasm
on the buzzuin uv wich Pendleton wuz to
sweep to glory. We met in the open air,
in front of Bascom's, and the impashent
crowd called upon me to give an accouut of
my stewardship.
I opened by statin that I went to Noo
York under pekoolyerly embarrassin circum
stance. "The whole money power uv the
east wuz arrayed agin us. Tho nristocratic
Belmont, which is the agent uv tho lloths
childs, the money-king uv tho world, wuz
determined to foist onto the Dilliocrisv
either Chase, the accursed Abolitionist, or
Seymour the pekoolyer pet uv Wail street,
wich street is, I may sling in here fur the
benefit uv my hearers, where the money biz
uiss is mostly done, and w here they sleep
on Government bond and spend tho heft uv
their timo a clippin off the coopons."
"What is coopons?-' asked Dekin Pogram.
I explained to tho blessid old saint wat
coopons wuz, and went on.
"This Wall street intluocuce wood, my
brethren, hev corrupted the Dimocrisy.
Wall street came into Tammany Hall and
wanted to control our ackshen. But we
wuzent to bo purckist. Tho moro Wall
street offered to enslave the Dimocrisy, the
more yoor representatives, gloryiu in their
manhood, spumed their proffered bribes.
Wo went there determined to cmaucipatc
the yeomanry uv tho country from the bon

ther pledged to Peudleton, the youug eaglo
uv the West pledged to tender tho bloated
bondholder, if wo pade them anything,
greenbacks for his bloated boiids, or nothin.
We went ther determined to unuihilate this
yer Scemoro aud his bloated supporters."
"Kuh for Peudlctou !" sung out the crowd.
"Three groans for Seymour, tho bloated
bondholders' agent."
Both cheers ami groans were given w ith
a will, and I proceeded.
"My friends, you uevr'll know wat we,
tho people's defoudcrs, hed to contend with.
Tho bloated bondholders hed money wo
hed noue. They were determined to fasten
tho yoke ou yoor necks we were determin
ed to hist it off. They wuz determined to
hev Seymour, with all Wall street at
his back, fastened on to you to grind you
into dust, but teeliu that tf ho should bo
uomeuated we cood never support him, we
riz iu our mite and manfully compelled em
to withdraw this man and give us the peo
ple's choice, Geo. H, Peudleton, the' eagle

At this piut Deekin Pogram's sou Gama
liel wuz seen puttiu down the hill ez fust tz
his mulo cood git. Joe Bigler not let him
fust aud rushed out uv the crowd to inter
cept him. The boy lied a uoopapcr iu his
hand wich Josep took from him aud rushed
to where I wuz stundiu ou tho hed uv a
barl.
"Here's tho last Louisville paper," sed
Josef, unfolding it. "Shel I reed it ?"
"Keedl reed I" yelled tho crowd. "Giv
us tho iioozo uv the downfall uv tho blouted
bondholders !"
"Before I reed," sed Josef, who hod g'.an
eml at the headings uv the telegraft collum,
"give three more cheers for Peudletou aud
greeubax. Hip, hip "
"Huh !" cheered the crowd.
"Now three groans, and let them be good
oues, lor Seymour and his cussed doctrine
w ich will grind us into dust uuder the heels
of Belmont, and aid the furriu capitalists by
payiu the bonds iu gold I"
Aud they groauod ez heartily ez they
cheered.
"We, ez Democrats," continued Josef,
"hev sworn by our altars aud our fires, never
to support for any oliis any mau who wood
pay u debt inkurred by a unconstitooshnel
government iu a uucoustitooshiiel war in
auything but tho debased currecry wich
thut uuconstitooshnel government ishood."
"Never ! never ! we sw are !"
"Very i;oyd," said Josei, "This paper
w icir I hold in my hand conveys the nfljicf in
I intelligence that on tho tw enty-second ballot
! Goveruor Horusho Seymore, uv New Yolk,
i wuz nominated, and that Frank Blair wuz
I nominated for Vice President- by acclnma
j lion. Ez Seymore is opposed bitterly to
Pendleton's greenbax policy, 1 spose, uv
course, the Corners will repoodiate the atk-
shen uv tho couvenshin."
Ai
And with a bill' which wuz devilish in the
exlreme Josef left the stand.
The nieetin broke up in a row. The Cor
ners felt that they lied been imposed upon
and lied I not got out uv the way I might
hev been personally injoored.
The Deckin, Ba'coni, Kernal McPelter,
Issuker Gavitt, nnd I, met il tho Postoflis
nlier the excited crowd lied dispersed nnd
consulted. Wo was iu a rut her u tile place.
Kalyin on the strength uv our candidate, we
hed gone too far in denouncin tho otlieis,
tho for that matter wat cood we do ! Tho
two policies is so cussed opposite, that, we
cau't support tho ono without denouueiu
the other. It wu.: desuled that we support
the ticket. We felt it wuz safe. Seymore,
if ho is tlectid. cmi't discriminate "between
his supporters in the, distri!onshiMi uv this
Postollises, nnd after all that is tho real
question at ishoo. After given the subiiok
a more matoor considerashen, we conic to
the concloosheu that tho credit and staudin
uv thu Government demanded the payment
uv thu Nashnel indebtedness in gold, and
that anything short of that wood be renoo
diashin. "I wonder," sed I, -that anv honest mau
any man who be'.eeves in maintaining un
impaired the creilit of the Government,
shood think for a moment uv payin the debt
in anything but wnt wuz contemplated
honest, hnrd gold!" At a meetin the next
nite to ratify Seymour's noininashen, I said
this over ngin, nnd asked em ef any Dimo-
crat who remembered the glorious lite Jack
son made for hard money, wood consent for
a moment to multiply a irreedeemable paper
currency ? No ! Let u., ez onr glorious
standard bearer Seymour hez so boldly pro
claimed, let us pay our debts in Dcme'krntic
money gold hard, shinin, ynller gold.
Three cheers for Seymour 1"
And thay cheered ez vigrnusly ez I ever
hecred men cheer. Thernintno trouble in
tnnnngiu the Dimocrisy. All they want is
to hev it settled wat they are to hurrah for,
aud then they hurrah for it. Notwithstand
ing thco paw I mado the first nite, we shell
poll the yoosual vote for Seymore, and pos
sibly more. Yet the experiment was a leetlo
risky. I will never ratify agin till I know
wat I nm ratifying nnd for whom.

Not mnny months ago, says thcrittsburg
Sundiitj Leader, a young divinity studeut of
this city, modest, yat brimful of talent, and
earnest iu his profession, received a call to
one of the most pleasant cities of northern
Ohio. lie deemed it his duty to accept,
and in a brief time won tho love and ad
miration of his flock. He not only graced
the pulpit in his gospel ministrations, but
was tho life and spirit of tho social circle.
No gathering of the young folks of the con
gregation was completo without the par6on.
lie possessed tho 'nappy faculty of entering
into ul! tho amusements without in tho least
compromising the dignity of his sacred
ollice. He was a good preacher and a good
fellow, and especially the admired of all the
ladies. But it was not to bo thus always.
At a party given by one of his flock, not
many weeks ago, at which our ministerial
friend was present, he was openly challenged
by a mischievous and fun loving damsel,
just budding into the full charms of a per
fect womanhood, to kiss her. Did he accept
tho challenge ? Wo rather think ho did.
Could tiny one resist the sparkle of those
bright eyes, or the mischievous pout of a
pair of cherry lips that would havo tempted
the good St. Anthony from his propriety ?
Iu the prestneo of tho whole company he
overcame tho well feigned struggles of the
young lady, aud brushed from her dewy
lips u salute as chaste as Diana, to say noth
ing of its being delicious as uectar or Knox's
strawberries. But, alas for tho youug divine !
Tho kissing did not meet the approval of
tho older heads of the church. Tho deacons
and elders and tho saiDtly old ladies, who
either never had young blood in their
veins, or had forgotten its quality iu tho
sluggishness of vitality, met in solemu con
clave, and decided the proceeding our
young clergi nmu's kiss a most monstrous
breach of ministerial privilege, and deser
ving of public censure aud reprobation. Not
ono of them would havo objected had lie
kissed one of tho mothers in Israel ; the
crime was not in the kiss itself, but iu thut
the kisser and tho kissed were both young
and ardent. The upshot of tho whole affair
was that tho clergyman got notice that his
conduct iu the kissing aforesaid had brought
grave reproach upon tho church, and his
resignation would be acceptable. He resign
ed, of cnursp.niid is at home aw aiting another
call and this is tho penalty tho minister
pays for that uufortunato kiss.

"Those who serve at tho ultar shall live
by tho altar," says St. Paul. But tho good
saint had probably not the faintest idea how
well some of his successors would manago
to live iu tli id way. It is stated that the
llev. J. A. D. Wingfield. of Petersburg, Va.,
has been called lo tho Church of tho Holy
Savior, on Twenty fifth street, at a salary
of $ 15,000. Tho call is loud enough, and
the rcveieud gentleman must bo unusually
deaf if ho does not hear it at that figuic.
Dr. Potter, a uephew of tho Bishop of New
York, lately accepted tho caro of the souls
of those who attend Grace Church, for the
consideration of $8,000 a year and a small
white marble palace on Broadway. Dr. Hill,
of the Presbyterian Church, corner of Nine
teenth street and Fifth avenue, has come all
thu way from Dublin to feed tho flock that
worships there, w hich he consents to do for
the modest pittance 'of 10,000 a year in
goH and a handsome parsonage. The Doc
tor lias the old couutry notious about cur
rency ; he docsu't understand greenbacks,
but prefers his pay iu solid metal. Dr.
Morgan Dix, of Trinity, receives $12,000
and a house ; while the more popular preach
ers, go up to a much higher figure. Dr. Chapiu
receives not less than from filteeu to twenty
thousand in salary, aud tho results of outside
literary work j while Henry Ward Beeclicr's
inoomo reaches from twenty to thirty thou
sand from liko sources. On tho other hand,
our Catholic clergy are underpaid, and have
to distribute a good part of what thoy re
ceive atnoug the poor of thoir parishes t
while tho very worst paid preachers of all
are poor Judge Edmunds and ltobort Dale
Owen, who uot only have to minister to
the Spiritualists for uothing, but get abused
ici it by the list of the world.- Y. Y, Hun,
r .inui;.
That the Democratic Convention, by nom
inating Mr. Seymour, iias made agiavu mis
take, threatening not only their urn party
but the couutry with a selious dangei, is an
impression that prevails very widely. But
tho fact that in doing so they have also out
raged thu personal feelings of their own
candidate, and placed him iu a most embar
rassing and peiilous position, is not ItbS to
bu remembered.
Mr Seymour's near friends havo repeatedly
been assured by hiin, when, in former yeaia
his name was mentioned for tho Presidency,
that it was iinposiblu for him to t nteituin
the thought. The reason given by hi!:;. when
a reason WU3 demanded, wus that his family
were afflicted with an hereditary insanity,
which threatens him nlao and which hu
can only hope to escape by avoiding excite
ment aud severe labor.
Whon tho recent National Convention
was about to meet, certain members of tho
New York delegation weie anxious to mnko
arrangements which would sccuro tho nom
ination of Mr. Seymour as a compromise
candidate, after tho failure of Mr. Peudleton.
The plan had mado some progress when it
was resolutely stopped by Mr. Seymour him
self. With a candor and sell denial wbicU
aro highly creditable to him as a mau, ho
named to his fiiouds tho truo reason why ho
felt bound in houor peremptorily to declino
tho nomination. It is believed, ou good
grounds, that .Mr. Sanford K. Church and
Mr. Samuel J. Tildeu were hilly informed of
thu position of Mr. Seymour, aud expressly
approved it.
There can bo no question that 5Ir. Soy
mour, iu perfect sincerity, maintained and
avowed his determination uot lo be a candi
date up to tho very hour of his nomination.
Does any man believe that, if ho had been a
party to a cunning scheme for springing his
name upon tho Convention, he would, at thu
moment of its success, have publicly declar
ed that honor forbade him to accept, that
his nomination would imperil bis party nnU
himself, and ended by those significant last
words spoken by him to the Convention :
"Gentlemen, I cannot be your candidate ?"
Even if wo did not respect Mr. Seymour's
personal character far too highly to suppose
it possible, yet his good sense and shrewd
ness alone would prevent such humiliation
and self contradiction in nn aspiring man.
It had, it is said, been arranged between
Mr. Seymour and his New York friends,
that after a few more ballots, when tho
names of Hendricks and Hancock should
havo wearied the patience of the Conven
tion, tho chairman himself should uamo
Chief-Justice Chase as the only mau who
could be elected by them ; and that tho
New York delegation should unanimously
second this name, followed at once by all
tho states which could bu trusted to join
the movement. It was confidently hoped
that the i in mediate and enthusiastic nomi
nation of Mr. Chase might thus bo secured.
The plot was uot kept secret, however j
tho Ohio men, provoked either by this
movement, or moro directly by the threaten
ing strength of Hendricks on the twenty
second ballot, resolved upon an immediate
diversion ; aud by acting suddenly and with
persistency, forced the nomination upon
Mr. Seymour. Tho man of ull othurs most
afflicted and disappointed by this result was
not any of tho defeated candidates, but thu
selected one. Ho still insisted upon his
right aud his duty to decline ; but those
around him, dreading tho effect of such an
act upon tho now harmonious and milous
Convention, were prepared to prevent it by
physical forco if necessary, nnd bivcceded
in convincing Mr. Seymour that it was ne
cessary for tho party thath'i bhoyid be their
standard bearer.
These facts ought not to be concealed ;
the democratic masses themselves ought to
know exactly what their ticket means it
means Blair as President. No ordinary mo
tive could induce the Evening. Post to
touch upon the sacred and private misfor
tunes of n respectable citizen; but when
the American people are asked to make that
citizen their ruler, his private infirmities
become public dangers, the solemn terrors
of his closut become tho peril of the nu
