above all others do all in her power 70 rescue the
country from the tyranny that Expresses 1t. Having
full confidence in the democracy, ability and patriot
istn Of General George IL. Mcclellan, New-Iork
gives him Der entire electoral vote.
Several delegations having cast their votes for
Horatio Seymour hen the call Of the States had
been gone through with, Governor Seymour re-
marked that some gentleman had done him the
honor To name him FOR the nomination. II would
be aectstiOn 20 say that their expressions Of pre-
ference did not give him pleasure, but be owed il
70 himself 10 say that many months ago be advised
his friends in Nsw-York that for various reasons,
private and public, he could not be q candidate for
the Chicago nomination. Having mede this ale
nouncement he would lack the honor Of man,
he would DO great injustice 10 those friends TO per-
NIT his name 20 be used now. As q member of tho
New-York delegation hc thought IT sdyis-
able TO support eminent jurist Of that
State for the nomination, but he was not actueted
In this by any doubt OF the ability or patriotism Of
the distinguished gentleman who has been placed
In nomination. He knew that General Mcclellan
did not seek the nomination. lie knew that that
able officer had declared that il would be more
agreeable 10 him 10 resume his position in the
army, bus he Will not honor any the less the high
position assigned him by the great majority of the
country because he has not sought il. We desire
60 add few words in reference 10 Maryland and
her honored delegates here. Yesterday he did
an act of injustice TO o distinguished member
of that Delegation, lMr. Harris,) because he
(Seymour) did not understand the purport of his
remarks, and he desired TO say that be was fully
satisfied that that heightened gentleman was in
capable OF taking position in this Convention
participating IN its declarations, and refusing 10
abide by its decisions. We are now appealing TO
che American people TO unite and ssye our country
Let us not look back. II is with the present that
we have TO Zeal. Let by-gones be by-gones. We
could soy for our gallant nominee that no mans
heart will grjevc than his will for any wrong
done Maryland As ore who did not support him
IN my delegation, and "a one who knows the man
we'll be felt bound 10 do him this Justice He
Governor SEYMOUR would pledge his life that when
Gen Mcclellan il placed in the Presidential Chair
he will devote all his energies TO the best interests
OF his country, aud 10 securing, never again TO be
invaded, all the rights and privileges Of the people
under the laws and the Constitution.
The President then announced the vote. which
wss received with desfening cheers, the delegates
and the vast audience rising, the band playing, and
che cheering lasting for several minutes.
Immediately after the nomination, banner, on
which was painted portrait of Mcclellan, and
