IFrom the Crawford County Forum.l
Democratic enthusiasm for Seymour and
Blair is something glorious to behold. East
and West, North and South, the whole |
magnificent expanse of the country over,
the nominations are greeted with the most
hearty delight. We are more nd more
convinced that the Convention acted WISE
ly. We did not get the man who happened
to be our first choice. But in the very ma |
ture of things it was inevitable that all could
not get their first choice; and ne might as
well be disappointed as for others to- be.
Men are secondary. Principles rank first
and there Is enough in the Democratic plat
form, without reference to candidates, to
rally every patriot in the country to its
support 1t proposes to abolish the stand
ing army in the South-abolish the negro
bureau-and stop the payment of interest
on the public debt-thereby relieving the
people of the heaviest taxation that any
government ever imposed upon its subjects
No wonder that the Democrats support the
ticket so earnestly and SO heartily. Our
WOnucT Is GudG any uOutSt, luLclliSCub uldus
of any party, opposes it.

CAMPAIGN.OPENED.-W place at the head
of our paper to-day the nominees OF the
National Democratic Convention. The
great name of Horatio Seymour, which
heads the ticket, is a tower OF strength, in
asmuch as it is associated with the most
distinguished of American statesmen, and
must command the respect of political en-
,;aco tbo o6 m ra l.
merous political friends. Mr.. Seymour is
we'll and favorably known throughout the
entire country, and there Is perhaps no
man who could give (in the highest exec
utive office of the country more character
to our Government abroad than Horatio
Seymour, and the intelligent, Union-lov-
ing voters of the United States will see that
he is chosen to adorn the Office of President
for the next four years.
Gen. Francis p Blair, Jr., who received
the second place on our ticket, is eminently
qualified for the position, and will carry
with him a host of veteran soldiers who
can appreciate his ability, courage and en-
durance, and who, in connection with the
great mass of our heavily taxed people, are
now ready and willing to unite with the
Democracy to save the Government from
drifting into anarchy, disunion and imam
cial ruin. ---

HoRATIo SEYMoUR.-We place at our mast
head this week the name of Horatio Sey-
mour, Democratic candidate for President
of the United States. We confess our dis
appointment that Ohio's favorite son, Geo.
ii. Pendleton, was not placed in nomina-
ton, but failing in this, we rejoice that our
leadership has been entrusted to one SO
eminently worthy. Governor Seymour
possesses highly;cultivated social qualities,
great political sagacity and comprehensive
Craftsmanship. Democrats everywhere like
Horatio Seymour, and they will strive for
his election with an enthusiasm unequalled
in former political campaigns.
But well as Democrats like the candidate
they like the platform better, for it con-
tains every principle for which the party
contends. 1t demands the immediate res
toration of the Union; opposes negro su-
premacy, declares in favor of equal taxa
tion ON all kinds of property. bonds in
cuded," one kind of currency for all kinds
of people, and the payment of the national
debt in greenbacks. With such candidate
upon such platform success is certain
there is no such word as fail.
[From the Ohio Democrat
OUR PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES. We
this week fling our banner to the breeze
inscribed with the names of our candidates
Hon. Horatio Seymour, of New York,
for President, and Major General Francis
p. Blair, of Missouri, for Vice President
For ourself, we are free to say, that while
we should have preferred the nomination
of Mr.. Pendleton, we are ready TO ignore
all personal and sectional preferences, and
unhesitatingly give our support to the able
statesmen who so unanimously became the
nominees of the great Convention.
lFrom the Guernsey Jeffersonian.l
THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC TIcKET.-It
is with greater pleasure than we can here
express that we place above our County
and State tickets that of the great National
Democracy, Seymour and Blair. The form
er, although of New York, was the second
choice of Ohio, and both candidates were
presented for nomination by the West
Elsewhere we give sketches of the lives OF
these great statesmen.
Now we call upon all Democrats OF
Guernsey, and those of the people who are
opposed to the eXcesses of Radicalism,
whatever they may have called themselves
hitherto, to stand up manfully and fight
for right and justice tempered with mercy
Radicalism is not so strong in this county
but that by well-directed and vigorous ef-
forts it may not be overthrown at the COM
ing elections. Let us show to our neigh
boring counties, by energetic and system
attic work, what can be done toward driv.
ing from power the perjurers, swindlers
thieves, robbers, murderers and villains ol
- every other description that control the
Radical party, and are attempting to de-
stroy every vestige of free government. Il
is high time for vigorous work. Delay il
dangerous and without excuse.
IFrom the Chillicothe Advertised
The WEST VIcToRIoUs.-No Notwithstand
ing the defeat of Pendleton, the West wa'
singulariy successful in the Convention
Its financial policy was cordially indorset
by the unanimous voice of the Convention
Its Presidential choice, and his friends
dictated the candidates of the Convention
both for President and Vice President, and
the candidate for Vice President is one o
the most distinguished citizens ofthe West
By her power and the ability of her sons
the West has become the dominant ele
ment in our politics, as she is in every
thing which constitutes the nations great
ness.

OUR T1cKET.-We this week raise tn,
names of our gallant standard-bearers
Hon. Horatio Seymour and Gen. Frank p
Blair, Jr., and do so with the full determi.

and enthusiastically for their success in th'
great political struggle now before us
While we, in common with our Democratic
fellow citizens of Ohio, would have prefer

Hon. George II. Pendleton, as our candi
date, we at the sam, time willingly yiel(
our personal preferences and abid'
by the decision of majority o
the grand army of Democrats of thi
country. The more especially cal
we do this as the successful gen

the true friends of Mr.. Pendleton, and

sition, and who has heartily endorsed ant
