In announcing the vote of New York,
Mr.. Sanford E. Church said that New
York regretted to pass by her favorite son,
but she stands now, as she ever stood, ready
to sacrifice her dearest personal preferences
for the public good, holding it her duty
above ali others, to do all in her power to
rescue the country from the tyranny that
oppresses it, having full confidence in the
democracy, ability and patriotism of Gen
eral George B. Mcclellan, New York gives
him her entire electoral vote.
Several delegations having cast their
votes for Horatio Seymour, when the call
of the States had been gone through
with, Governor Seymour remarked that
some gentlemen had done him the honor to
name him for the nomination, it would be
sfFectation to say that that their express
sions of preference did not give him pleas
ure: but he owed it to himself to say, that
many months ago, he advised his friends IN
New York that for various reasons, private
and public, he could not be candidate for
the chicago nomination. Having made
that announcement, he would lack the hon.
or of man, he would do great injustice to
those friends to permit his name to be used
now.
Asa member of the New York delega-
cation, he personally thought it Advisable
to support an eminent jurist of that State
for the nomination, but he was not actus-
ted 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, he knew that able officer
had declared that it would be more agrees-
BILE to him to resume his position in the
army; but he would not honor any the less
the high position assigned by the great ma
iority Of the country, because he had not
soug ght it. He desired to add a few words
in reference to Maryland and her honored
delegates here.
Yesterday he did an act of injustice to
distinguished member of that delegation,
1AIr. Harris1 because he did not under
Stand the purpOrt of his remarks, and he
now desired TO say that he was fully salts
fed that that high-toned gentleman was
incapable of taking position in this Con
vention, participating in its deliberations,
and refusing to abide by its decisions.
We are now appealing to the American
people to unite and save our country. Let
us not look back. 1t is with the present
that we have to DEAL and let by-gones be
by-gones. He could say for our gallant
nominees, that no mans heart will grieYe
more than his will for any wrong done
MARYLAND. As one who did not support
him in the delegation, and as one who
knows the man well, he felt bound to do
him this Justice. He Governor SEYMOUR
would pledge his lifethat when Mcclellan
is placed in the Presidential Chair, he
will devote all his energies to the best IN
terests of the country, and to securing,
never again to be invaded, all the rights
aud privileges of the people, under the
laws and the Constitution.
The President then announced the vote,
which was received with tremendous
cheers, the delegates and audience stand
ing, the band playing and the cheers con-
tinuing for several minutes. Immediately
after the nomination, banner, on which
is painted a portrait of Mcclellan and
bearing as a motto, "If caRnot have COM
mand of my own men, let me share their
fate on the field of battle, was run up
behind the Presidents platform, and was
welcomed by the widest shouts of the
multitude.
A communication was received from the
! Chairmanof the German Peoples Assoeia-
ton of New York, claiming to represent
100000 citizens, and accompanied by Feso'
lutions pledging the members of the As
sociation to the support of the Chicago
nominee. Filed.

and most loyal citizens of Kentucky,

dirty cells, with only straw to lay upon
and the cosrsest prison fare; and the news
