Of New York. and Francis P. Blair, of Mis-
souri,. We did not mistake when, comment
ing on the prolonged deliberations of the
convention, we remarked that it was a cheer
ing sign that the proceedings of this body SC
strongly eontrasted with those of the Chi.
cago convention, which were distinguished
by promptitude without earnestness and una
nlmlty without enthusiasm. The final nomi-
nation, by reclamation, of Horatio Seymour,
was the highest and wisest result that could
have issued from the combined sagacity and
patriotism of the delegates assembled in
Tammany Hall. The conviction of his pre-
eminent fitness, as uniting unquestioned
soundness, competency, and availability,
flashed at length over the convention like
revelation, and his nomination will be hailed
by good citizens and true patriots everywhere
as prophecy.
No man more profoundly understands the
political evils of the day than he no man
more clearly perceives what remedies are de-
manded; no man has hand more dexterous
and firm at once for the application of the
necessary remedies. Nor could there be
found among all the Democrats of the time
leader or a statesman who is more keenly
alive to the true vocation of the Democratic
party. As the party of reform and the
party of the future-as the party called
by the imperilled country to meet the
exigencies of the day in the spirit of the
day, and yet with inspiration caught from
the high hopes and grand possibilities of the
future, it could not have filter and ADLER

He personifes thought to which they have

Re may only observe that Gen. Blair is one of I

the late war for the Union and the Con- q
