New York.

Gov. Seymour declined a nomination on
account of his feeble health and the state
of his private business, which had suffer
ed for want of his personal attention,
The Convention however nominated him
by acclamation. He implored them to
pass him by in making their nominations,
but if they insisted, in this hour OF his
country's peril, he did not feel at liberty
to decline. We may look for good ac-
count from New York in November.
