Colonel Flanagan, of the Philadelphia
NctrS, is not quite so enthusiastic over the
nomination OF Seymour and Blair as we should
be led to expect from his known political pro-
clivities. In his paper OF Friday he says:
"At last the Convention which has been In
session at New York since the 4th OF the
month has succeeded in accomplishing the
work for which Its members were brought to-
gether; and, whether 1t has done good thing
or not, no one will deny the fact Of Its having
succeeded In creating n surprise for the whole
country. Mr. Horatio Seymour, the president
of the Convention, was made the candidate OF
the party for President Of the United States,
in violation of his earnest protest, and General
Frank Blair, who took palms recently to have
published q somewhat extraordinary letter,
was nominated for Vice President. In expla-
nation of this very strange and unexpected
action OF the Convention, 1t must be said that
II was getting into very deep water, and there
was such palpable and pressing necessity to
make soundings as to literally drive the men,
bers into hasty action"
THE Netri also has an article on the two
platforms, as follows:
1.-THE two contending parties being now fairly
before the public with their platforms, the
people generally will, doubtless, be anxious to
compare them with a view to ascertain the
position OF the parties as disclosed by these
enunciations, and we therefore present this
morning that just agreed upon at New York
and that OF the Republicans as adopted at
Chicago
The national Republican. [volume] (Washington City [D.C.]) 1866-1870, 1868-07-11

Our neighbor Of the National Iniehigeneer, In
more than a column OF double loaded editorial
of stately platitude, endeavors to cover up and
conceal their disappointment. They speak of
Mr.. Seymour as "among the very foremost Of
our living statesmen" This Is bitter irony,
and what Artemus Ward used to call scar
cGSm
"Among our foremost statesmen"
In July, 1854, there was a fearful and terri
BILE mob In New York, inspired by the rebel
spirit, in the full belief that the great metrop-
oils OF the nation would soon be in possession
of the rebel General Lee, who was then In
Gettysburg. For several days this Infatuated
mob had run riot, and spread "fre-brands, ar
rows and death" through the community; hung
innocent negroes to lamp-posts, and perpe-
trated any number OF diabolical deeds. Mr..
Seymour, then Governor Of the Empire State,
addressed this crowd in pusillanimous and
twaddling speech, calling them my friends"
The other night, Mr.. Seymour addressed his
party friends at Cooper Institute, and on that
occasion purposely miSrepresented the imam
cial condition OF the country, as was proved
conclusively by Mr.. Blaine, in a speech in the
House of Representatives. Indeed, any school
boy who had read the financial reports OF the
Government would have known better. No
school boy could have made such a blunder,
and most certainly none would have purposely
so misrepresented the facts.

now THE DOMINATION TAKES.

How the nomination Of Horatio Seymour
and +. P. Blair, jr., as the standard-besrers of
the self-styled Democratic party Is received in
different parts Of the country, among the rank
and file, II is perhaps too early to determine,
as we have not at this writing anything ex-
cept the most meagre reports. We have, how
ever, already published several dispatches
sent US by the Associated Prcss from the
South, which speak Of great satisfaction In
some parts Of that region OF country with the
ticket. This was to have been expected; or
rather we should say, 1t was to have been ex-
pectcd that the agents Of the Associated Press
in that quarter would 30 assure US whether It
were really so or not. We are inclined to
think, however, that In this instance these
agents tell us the truth, for the ticket is just
what the whilom rebels desired. The known
sympathies Of Mr.. Seymour with the rebellion,
so thoroughly manifested in that fearful riot
which took place in New York when Lee WAS
in Gettysburg and threatening to "water his
horses in the Delaware" marks the twaddling
and trucking Ex-Governor as just the man to
whom unrepentent rebels can tie.
Then again Blair's revolutionary letter, dia-
boncal IN spirit and in purpose as II is, meets
response in every rebel heart. Why should
not the unreconstructed rebels be pleased with
this ticketi For once, doubtless, therefore,
the agents of the Associated Press have told
rs the truth.
But how is It In the loyal Statesf From
such information As we can obtain up to this
hour, this ticket is a wet blanket to the
Northern Democracy. II can inspire no en-
thusiasm, and calls forth no strength. It is a
dead cock in the pit, and the party in all the
country must go under. Such are the indica-
tions and such will be the fact in November.
The Democracy in Washington on Thursday
afternoon and evening were the most chop
fallen set we have witnessed this many day.
They even show more chagrin and disappoint-
ment than the same parties here used TO ex-
hibit during the war, whenever the Union
arms triumphed over the rebel forces. The
real, honest Democrats here, who believed In
the war, and went in to suppress the rebellion,
were indignant, and swore as loudly as tour
army in Flanders"

South Carolina PoIitics--Governor
Orr Publishes an Address.

CHARLESTON, July l0-Ex Governor Orr
has published an address to the people of the
State reviewing his administration. After
giving the reasons which Influenced his public
conduct, and advising a future policy, he says
1t would have been'wise for the white people
to accept the reconstruction acts, and that II
the new constitution is obnoxious 1t is tho
fault OF the intelligent white men who took
no part In the convention elections.
He again avows himself In favor OF qualified
colored suffrage. He says 1t Is idle to expect
any relief in regard to universal suffrage from
the Democratic party. II the Southern gov
ernments, in 1870, are declared void, the States
will be left in condition Of anarchy. II the
supreme Court declares them to be unconsti.
tutional, he asks what constitutions will be In
force, and what officers reinstatedi He says
that we should depend on ourselves only, and
speaks OF the harmony existing between him
self and the district commander.
In conclusion he says the principles and
purposes avowed by his successor, Governor
Scott, with reference to the interests of the
State, are wise and patriotic; and he invites
tho people to give his administration full
and fair trial before condemnation.
