We have only room for the following extract:
Although feel impatient at DELAY. vet
as we have gone into consultation with our
sister States ofthe South, good faith demands
that we should wait the result Of the meas
ureszsuggested by the Nashville Convention.
We should meet them in the proposed Con-

But if their fatal blindness to these Interests

they should triumph, what will they gain By
it 1t will be q triumph over their own
cause: If their shouts. of victory should as

Lewis Seymour being BROKERS, and but little known
out Of their own store and business, there was q
joke at the time, that the peoples men" had
made q mistake in electing Thaddeus instead Of
his brother Lewis who was the best known, and it
was said supposed to be the candidate whs it had
turned out Unexpectedly was elected However,
Mr.. Thaddeus Seymour made n very good Alder
men, but only served one year, when he was sue
ceeded by Mr.. Samuel Cowdrey Of the same politics
Jonathan Seymour was from Hartford, Connec-
tcut; and coming to this city in early life became
Of the most distinguished printers of this city
In politics, he was decided whig; Of retiring
manners and Of liberal disposition He was for
time connected in the printing business with
the late George +. Hopkins; and in the latter
part OF his life was engaged in the paper commits
sion business, still continued by his son. Mclancthon
Il. Seymour Another of his sons, the late Daniel
Seymour, was distinguished for his literary attain
ments, and was one of the most active Of the trus-
tees Of the New York Society Library; which in
valuable collections made by him in Europe and
added to the library.
The name Of Seymour, although found among
the early emigrants to New England, is not con
spicuous in the colonial history Of this country
was it noted, as we are aware, in the times Of the
Revolution. so far public honors are to be con-
sidered, the Seymours of America are a modern
family, the architects of their own fortunes.
In England, the Seymours have been a dstin-
gushed family for several centuries. They came
over from Normandy with William the Conqueror,
in the year 1866 The original name was Saint
Maure, afterwards corrupted to Seymour. One of
manders in the navy, well as officers Of the army,
have been of the name; also the Dukes of Somer-
set, and other members of both houses of Par
Lament.
