sayr Up to this time our information

s3y" Up to this time our information regarding the dongs of tho Democracy in convention at New York, on the fourth, IS not so complete as we might wish it for the benefit of our readers. We arc, how ever, enabled to say that larger, more enthusiastic, patriotic and earnest assem- blaze never congrcgated for a similar pur- pose As early as Friday, before the meeting of the convention, every hotel in the great city was crowded. From every section of the country, North, South, East and West, the true men of the country came fully determined to harmonize all discordant clements and put in nomna- tion man in whom the people could trust, and who, with sound Democratic principles would lead the people to victory in November next After the selection of Gov. Seymour, of New York, as Presi- dent of the convention, and the transac- ton of the usual preliminary business, the convention proceeded to ballot. Of course each State had her fayorite, which neces- sarily gave at first scattering vote, but it was soon found that Seymour was run ming to the front Gradually all other candidates were dropped and q unanimous vote given for Horatio Seymour of New York. Great enthusiasm prevailed when this nomination was announced, which only subsidcd that the convention might Presidency. After little balloting, Gen. Frank F Blair, of Missouri, was unani- mously chosen, thus giving to the Democ- racy of the country for President and Vice President men well known, who have been tried and proven true. Every Dem ocrat knows who our candidate for the Presidency is. Gov Seymour has always been Democrat, is Democrat still; was twice elected Governor of New York; has always been consistent statesman, and is to-day one of the ablcst, purest men Tn the nation. Gen. Blair is known to the whole country, and is popular wherever known. We doubt if better ticket could be pre- sented to the Democracy of the country; certainly for the times none more reliable or suitable could be found Now that our country is torn and twisted by ambi- tious partisans, and almost lost in the maddening whirlpool of political passion, we need wisdom more than all else to guide us. At the head of the government we need good strong men-mep too good to be bought and too strong to be bent In the chief places of the nation we want statesmen and patriots: in Gov. Seymour and Gen. Blair the country will find just such men Let Democrats work that they may win.

John R. Fellows in New York

 Presidential electors for the State at large, and should our people be allowed
 a fair chance in the coming election, he will be tower of strength to the

 EDITORS GAZETTE:
 On yesterday, o. II. Oats, of Helena,
 John R. Fellows and Mir. Chandler, of
 Camden, F.. B. Blanks, Mr. Demison and myself, of Little Rock, called at 50
 Wall street, to see Mr. August Bel mont, chairman Democratic National Executive Committee. We saw him in his office. Have not time to say much of him. He is little lame, bal Q-head- ed Frenehman, or Jew, it matters not which. He is sound financially and politically. He furnished us tickets which secured us seats on the platform at Cooper Institute, where Horatio Seymour was to speak that night When we got there we found about five thousand people seated; some two thousand in the aisles and corners around, and two hundred thousand, like field of wheat, in the Bowcry and streets outside. MT. Seymour made a speech able and interesting. 5. $. Cox, of Ohio, followed, devoting himself to Arkansas and its recently admitted congressman. Our state and its affairs, for the last month, have occupied a large share of public attention, owing to the fact of our having the frauds of it's election brought 10 the attention of our northern friends. All of q sudden a shout was made for John R. Fellows, of Arkansas. The shout continued, louder and louder, till it brought him to the stand. Hisyouthful butthought- ful face was pale, but as placid as summer evening. Those of us who were from his state of course were anxious and excited We did not know but what the large and brilliant hall. splendid audience with an ocean of uptnrned faces, the large crowd of dis tinguished statesmen on the platform. all combined, might unnerye him, and he might fail.

GSys MT. Powell Clayton, elected under and in accordance (so fhey soy) with tlc reconstruction laws of congress, was duly inducted into office on the Sd inst. with m attempt at considerable display and much cclat, but which, in reality, was q very slim and meagre affair. According to the estimate of the Gazette there was not more than three hundred and fifty persons in the turnout, though it could have been made much moro respectable if they had not denied the poor negroes par. ticipation who have been so instrumental in bringing about their grand display. In another column will be found his inaugu- ral address, delivered on that occasion, which is almost meaningless and fore shadows nothing except that portion which refers to his intended course toward those he calls "a large part of the community,
 but which does, contrary to his assertion "accept the situation" He says as soon as the necessary Legislation is had he will proceed to organize an efficient militia, which, we fear, is only intended to sub serve the ends for which Brownlow used that placed at his disposal. We can sec nothing but an unhappy condition for Arkansas under the present regimen; but there is a hope that "change will come over the spirit of our dreams" and we will see decision made against the laws that has thrust it upon us, and under that decision this usuyping Governor sent back to his home north of Mason and Dixon's line.
