of New Haven; Secretary of State, Thomas H. e.
Kingsbury, of Franklin; Comptroller, Horace Tay-
lor, of Vernon.
During the afternoon session letter from Gov
Seymour was read, declining the nomination and
favoring the old ticket; but the convention paid no
regard to it and nominated him by reclamation, at
ter taking an informal ballot, which was all one
way. Four hundred and thirty votes were cast
The enthusiasm was of the widest character, and
motion was passed to insist on the nomination.
A national salute was fired over Gov. Seymour S
nomination.

Mr. SMITHS 'GENERoSITY An esteemed friend,
writing from Northampton county, says: mo man,
in my Judgment of clear and just conceptions of what
is liberal and right approve of Mr.. Smiths action
after he withdrew from the contest for the Speaker
ship of the House of Representatives After his
withdrawal and before casting his vote for Mr. Nc
Cernand for that position he made an explanation,
in which he said, "IIe (Mr. McClernand) shall not
excel me in the spirit of patriotism that prompted
his act; and, sir, he shall not be more generous TO
Me than I riU be TO HIM." Now let us examine the
record, and see how far he complied with this boast
full display of patriotism and generosity" Mr..
McClernand voted for him erery ballot after his
name was presented, up to his withdrawal. On
Monday, the Both January he voted for him on
three consecutive ballots displaying throughout that
patriotism and generosity" which Mr.. Smith felt
it his pride and his duty to euogze and recprocac.
Or the 3lst January Mr.. Smith Withdrew and made
his pretty speech about patriotism and generosity
following it up by practical illustration ofhs SINGER
ity in casting his vote for Mr. McClcrnand No other
ballot was taken that day, and Mr.. Smiths "patri-
otism and generosity" cooled down to its natural
standard by the next On Wednesday, February
1st Mr.. Smith coted against Nr. McCternand, and
for Mr. Gimer, nothing having occurred in the
meantime to qualify Mr.. Smiths opinion of Mr..
Netherlands patriotism and generosity" On this
statement of the facts need make no COMMENT
leave it to the gentleman himself to explain this
singular conduct, and show how q single cote is
made an offset in patriotism and generosity to
four"

Mr.. SMITH AssAILED BY SOME OF HIS FORMER Sup
PoRTERS.-The Albemare .S0uthrOn published in
Murfreesborough, asSails Hon. w. n. II. Smith in
round terms because on the floor of the House pen
ding the contest for the Speakership he repudiated
allowed others to repudiate for him the proscrp-
tive doctrines of the American party. That pa
per says:
"For ourselves we intend to speak out. Wewlsh
it to be distinctly understood that the Americans in
this district will not submit TO be mere "hewerS of
wood and drawers Of water" FIVE quietly submit
to this thing we establish precedent that will fix
an everlasting stigma on every man that ever be-
longed to the American Order We shall be sane
toning the idea that there is something degrading
and loathsome in AmericanSIn of which man must
purge himself before he is fit for public station
Now that the prestige of this party, in the eStima
ton CT some, has departed, we are not ashamed to
acknowledge that we have been, and still continue
to be, member of this party. We are third de-
gree American, and would to God that the resolve
that the Americans have taken to perpetuatc this
glorious Union may be successfully carried out"
The Editor, it seems, is proud of his culvert hon
orst He calls upon Mr. Smith to explain. He
says:
1--WE intmatcd III our last weeks impression, that
should make some explanations in regard to the
course pursued by our Representative in Congress
from this District during the time in which he was
being voted for for the SpeakerShp of the House of
Representatives reported to the associated press
of the country. Since that time, we have learned
that distinguished members of the American party
men who have battlcd for the party through good as
well as through evil report have taken exceptions
to the course of Mr.. Smith. We therefore, think it
best for Mr.. Smith, if he has any correction or ex-
plantations to make, to make them himself from his
place in the House of Representatives, as it was from
the Halls OF Congress that these reports were first
sent forth TO the country Since the matter has as
sumed its present aspect, think it due, both to
Mr.. Smith, who is fully able to defend himself and
to his American friends, that some public explana-
ton should be made tina: there may be mutual
understanding. What does Mr. Smith mean by
being opposed to the "proscriptive features of the
| American partv?' As he has declared that he has
been an 'unwavering old line Whg," what princi-
pies of the American party, if any, does he en-
! dorse?'

immortality Of infamy, is almost too revolt
