THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

Mr. Vallandigham explains in the New York
Herald how he obtained Seymour's nomination.
The Ohio delegation had decided in any event on
that morning to withdraw Pendleton, where he de-
termined to give the name of Seymour, leaving both
Pugh and Thurman in ignorance of his purpose,
with the intention, as he implies, to defeat the Chase
movement, which he thought was on the point of

success.

I believe that had New York withheld her vote
from Mr. Hendricks, Judge Chase would have been
nominated within an hour." Seymour knew no-
thing of this movement until it culminated. The
revolutionary plank in the platform was put in, it
is reported, by Wade Hampton, who, in his late
speech at Charleston, said—" I would take the
resolutions if they would" allow me to add but three
wor,ls, which you will find embodied in the plat-
form. I wide! this—' And we declare that the
Reconstruction Acts are revolutionary, uncon-
stitutional, and void.' When I proposed that, every
single member of the committee came forward
and said they would carry it out to the end."
General Hancock's letter contradicting the rumours
that he did not intend to support the candidate is
as follows :—" Newport, Rhode Island, July
S. T. Glover, St. Louis.—My dear Sir,—l am
greatly obliged for your favour of the 20th instant.
Those who suppose that I do not acquiesce in the
work of the National Democratic Convention, or
that I do not sincerely desire the election of its nu-
minces, know very little of my character. Believ-
ing, as I really do, that the preservation of the
constitutional government eminently depends on
the success of the Democratic party in the coming.
election, were I to hesitate in its candid support,
feel I should not only falsify my own record, but
commit a crime against my country. I never
aspired to the presidency on account of myself ;
never sought its doubtful honour and certain labour
and responsibilities merely for the position. DII
own wish was topromote, if I could, the good of the
country, and to rebuke the spirit of revolution
which had invaded every sacred precinct of li-
berty. When, therefore you pronounced the
statements in question false, you did exactly
right. Principles, and not men, is the motto for
the rugged crisis in which we are now struggling.
Had I been made the Presidential nominee I should
have considered it a tribute not to me, but to the
principles which I had proclaimed and practised ;
but shall I cease to revere those principles because
by mutual political friends another has been ar
pointed to put them into execution ? Never, never
•
These, sir, are my sentiments, whatever interested
parties may say to the contrary, and I desire that
all, may know and understand them. I shall ever
hold in grateful remembrance the faithful friends
who, hailing from every section of the Union, pre-
ferred me by their votes and other expressions eL
'confidence, both in and out of the Convention, and
shall do them all justice to believe that they Were,
governed by patriotic motives, that they did no
propose simply to aggrandise my personal fortune°,
but to save their country through me, and that the 9
will not suffer anything like personal preferences
or jealousies to stand between them and their maul'
fest duty. I have the honour to be, dear sir, very
respectfully yours, WINFIELD S. HANCOCK."'"
Speaker Colfax had a great reception at his hornet

Mayor of the city, delivered the address of wel-

safety ;" "No negro suffrage ;" Let Democrats
heed the lessons of the past if they would save the
country ;" " Prostrate liberty appeals from Con'
gress to the people ;" " Resistance to tyrants is
obedience to God." The Twentieth Ward, with
500 good men and true, bore on their lantern!
" We go for Seymour and Blair ; come with us and
save your country;" " Bonds must be taxed;" , 1,,
Negro Equality," " Greenbacks good for one goc7
