Seymour and Blair.

The Edgefeld Adrcrtiser has been among the
foremost papers of South Carolina to hoist the
above honored and promising names atits mast
head. ~ =
There Gun be no doubt that the great Demo-
cratic Convention did its work wisely md well.
Heartfelt was the joy Of oil right-minded South
ern people when, ON the fifth. day of:the session
of the Convention, Seymour md Blair we're un-.
nounced as the Democratic nominees. Having
beon obliged to relinquish Pendledon, and tremb-
ling with fear and horror of Chase, how pecu-
liarly gratifying wns the turn which resulted in
the choice of Seymour. He had more than once
declined-and persisted in declining-the nomi-
nation. And this he did magnaRimously and
with purest motive and intent, let Radical men
and papers say What they may to the contrary.
The necessity Of the occasion and the persistency
of the popular voice at last forced him to accept
And deeply rejoiced should we be that he did ac-
cept Rcjoiced that the Democratic, party should
not have proved itself so Aagrantly inconsistent
as to nominate Chief Justice Chase; rejoiced that
we should be delivered from the unwelcome bur-
den of supporting Chase.
Ex-Gov. Horation Seymour Of New York has
long beon recognized as probably the leading
statesman Of the country. He is q thorough,
consistent, old.fashioned- Democrat and apolish-
ed, high. bred, digni6ed gentleman; one wha in
private less than in public will be On honor to
the nation as its Chief Executive. His nomiua-
tion was by no means M undeserved compliment;
and, judging from what VIC have lately seen of
the Democratic party, we should predict that The
people will endorse it in November next in such
a manner as.to secure his triumphant election.
The nomination Of Seymour and Blair goes forth
stamped with every probability of victory. The
Democratic starts in the oscendant. The Demo-
cratic masses ure thoroughly aroused. The Demo-
cratic nominees will unite all sections upon COM
mon ground, and the South may begin to rejoice
that her day of deliverance is near at hand.
And, lastly, let it be no longer said in the
South, that tho South has but little to expect
from the Democratic party Of the North; that
we cannot depend upon them ;that they care not
for us, but for themselves, alone; and that, even
if they could, they would do nothing to help us.
Such talk has been common in our latitude since
the close of the war. 1t does infinite wrongrto
the Democratic party of the North, the East, the
West and infinite wrong tous who utter such
sentiments.
And this, we would wager any sum, is now
the honest opinion of nine out of ten of sll the
Southern mon who have visited New York during
tho session of the Democratic Convention.

TIE STEAMSHIP MARYLAND.-This superior
steamship, which will soon take her place on
the line between this city and Baltimore, is
thus noticed in the Gazette Of Saturday
last:
The steamship Maryland, purchased By the
Baltimore aud Charleston Steamship Company,
has been put in thorough order and will be
placed on the line on Tuesday next: She is an
iron vessel Ct about seven hundred tons, with
capacity for fifteen hundred bales OF cotton or
five thousand barrels. Her hold is construct
ed into water-tight compartments and she is
thoroughly built with regard to strength. Inc
engine is double oscillator with cylinder forty
inches in diameter, and with four feet stroke
of piston. There are two large boilers, each
with three furnaces, and it is said that she
will not consume more than fifteen tons OF coal
under ordinary ci1 1cumstances. The machinery
is Of the finest description and the engines
have an aggregate of about six hundred horse
power. She has double propeller, which
gives her great speed. The whole OF the ves-
sci below deck, except that part occupied by
the machinery and coal bunkers, is for freight.
The main saloon is on deck, where are also
staterooms for the accommodation OF sixteen
passengers. 1t is handsomely finished and
elegantly furnished Amidship is house fer
the messroom and the accommodation of the
officers and forward is the forecastle for the
crew and steerage passengers. She is barken-
tine rugged, and such is her model that she
will make nearly as much speed under canvas
as with steam. The model of the Massland is
beautiful, and she is certainly one Of the finest
coasting steamers in the country. She will be
under the command of Captain Edward c.
Reed, the late popular commander OF the Fall
con, Of the same line, and there appears very
little doubt of her success. AIessrs.- Mordeca
& Co, the agents of the line, have made arrange
portunity will be afforded the merchants to
witness her working.
