An Important Declaration.
Seymour, Blair aud ReVOlu-
lion ReDudiated by a German
Democratic Journal.
The Zanesyille (ohiO) Gsrnsania, the
only German paper published there,
and which has hitherto been Demo
cratic, in last weeks issue repudiates
the candidates nominated at New York,
and shows a decided leaning towards
Grant and Colfax. It reads:
RUEDCHAU.
Translated from the Germania.
The great Democratic National Con-
vention recently assembled in New York
for the selection of candidates for the
Presidency and Vice Presidency, where
the eyes of both continents were turned
with eager and also with anxious ex-
pectation, which the great Industrial
Exhibition did not equal nor call such
multitude of people to witness, has,
at last, after twenty-five ballotings,
united in selecting candidate for the
Presidency candidate who, it seems,
from the beginning would not have his
name used and therefore one whom the
Democratic party never more thought
of, viz. Horatio Seymour, of New York.
Notwithstanding they dragged long
with the candidate for the Presidency,
they were soon done with the Vice
Presidency, the candidate being pro-
posed, indeed, in a very thoughtless
manner, and accepted.
Shall we give our candid and i'm
partial opinion about the whole matteri
After following with the greatest atten-
ton and the highest interest the whole
proceedings of the convention, we can
not help but-supported by the opinion
of conservative associations and promi-
neut personalities-think that this is
not the will of the Democratic people,
but that it is only the work of grand,
old, wide-and-broa1 spun, secret, polite
al clique. Why shall We conceal the
truth and deceive ouTselvesl Can
patriots stand 1t with calm blood to be
thus humbugged by the politicians and,
like greenhornS, say to this political
fnesse!' Yea and Ameni
Is this an introduction Of the Demo
cratic honesty destined to repudiate the
pretended Radical cOrrgptionY A bad
omen.
The nominations, therefore, to speak
freely, land a German recognizes free
dom of speech) not the expression of
the Democracy, but the work Of August
Belmont, of New York, the rich banker
and bondholder.
Where, in this connection, are the
fruits Of progressive Democracy, of De-
mocracy that has learned something
since the commencement of the war,
and with whom conservative Repub-
licans could unitel Is not this nOmi-
nation rather a retrogradiug in the old
ways of Democracy that once destroyed
the party and nearly ruined the country 7
Or, shall the nomination of Mr.. Blair,
who, in his letter to the New York
Convention, preached quasi rebellion,
and the installation of the President as
Dictator, be sign that Democracy
will open way to the prosperity and
freedom of the couutryl
The people expected this convention
to form renewed, newly made, vigor-
GUS Democracy, under whose wing up
right Democrats and moderate Repub-
Iicans could associate, and which would
set aside the old wire-pullers Of the
party, but how were they cheatedi 7
A Vallandigham was the first to
bring the nomination of Seymour on
the carpet. A notorious rebel, Gener-
al Forrest, Wade Hampton, and more
of the same calibre, frame the platform,
give the keynote and play the big bass
fiddle, and the innocent delegates dance
around the igpis fatuus aud, like bugs,
burn their wings. F. P. Blair, who
not iong ago stood in a miserable light,
is put at the head, as if he had through
bis rebel letter to the Convention not
only received perfect remission for his
sins but also earned full grace.
Such acts as these certainly are
greatly applauded BY rebels, but receiv-
ed with great indignation on the part
of War Democrats, who, finding them
selves deceived, will again tear them
selves loose from the party enacting
them. The fact of the matter is, they
are speaking already. CONSERVATION
and anguish are in the Democratic
camp. Nowhere, not even in New
York, is there true enthusiasm. Gen
eral Sherman declares for Grant against
Seymour, aud, so up to this time, do
all hitherto Conservatives.
Thus stand, unhappily, the facts, and
every Democrat who will face the truth |
cannot deny that the Democratic Ma
tional Convention was miscarriage, aud !
the nominations a swindle and blunder.
Leading Democratic papers, such as
the New York Herald and others,
acknowledges that Democratic victory |
can only be brought on through mira

The last chance was given the con-
vention to help Democracy to the
sceptre, by the placing of men of pro-
gress, of tried Unionism and unswerv-
ng honesty before the people, but it
missed its missiou-it fell into wrong
hands,
