REMARKS OF MR.. CHURCH OF NEW YORK.
In announcing the vote of New, York Mr..
Sanford E. Church said New York regretted
to pass by her favorite son, but she stands now
as she has ever stood, ready to sacrifice her
dearest personal preference for the public
good. Holding it her duty above all others to
do all in her power to preserve the country
from the tyranny that Expresses it. Having
full confidence in the democratic ability of
Gen Geo. B. Mcclellan, New York gives him
her entire vote.
Several States having given their entire votes
for Seymour, Gov. Seymour remarked:
REMARKS OF GOV. SEYMOUR OF NEW YORK.
Some gentleman had done him the honor to
name him for the honor. 1t would be affecta-
ton to say that their professions of preference
did not give him pleasure, but he owed it to
himself to say, that many months ago he ad-
vised his friends in New York, that for various
reasons public and private he could not be a
/ candidate for the Chicago Convention.
Having made that announcement, he would
lack the honor of man, and he would do
great injustice to those friends to permit his
name to be used now.
AS a member of the New York delegation he
thought it advisable to support an eminent jur-
list OF that State for the nomination. but he was
not actuated in this by any doubt of the abili-
ty or patriotism of the distinguished General
who had been placed in nomination. He knew
Gen. Mcclellan did not seek the nomination.
He knew that officer had declared that it would
be more agreeable to him to resume his posi-
| ton in the army, but he will not honor any
| the less the high position assigned him by the
| great majority of the Convention because he
| had not sought it. He desired to add few
words in reference to Maryland and her honor
| ed delegates here.
Yesterday he did an act of injustice tosa dis
tinguished member of the delegation (Mr.
| Harris), because he did not understand the pur-
| port of his remarks, and he now designed to
| say that he was fully satisfied that that high
toned gentleman was incapable of taking q
| position in this Convention, participating in
its councils and refusing to abide by its de
csiOn
We are now appealing to the American D.. >
pie to unite and save our country. Let us L It
look back. 1t is with the present we have to
deal, and let bye-gOnes be by-gones.
He could say for our gallant nominee that no
mans heart will grieve more than his for any
wrong done by me. As one who did not sup
port him in the delegation and as one who
knows the man well, he felt bound to do him
this justice.
He Gov. 81 would pledge his life that when
Mcclellan is placed in the Presidential Chsir
he will devote his whole energy to the best in
terests OF the country and secure, never again
to be broken, all the privileges of the people
under the laws and the constitution.
