THE NDWzNEE.

The nomination of Horatio Seymour,
of New York, as the Democratic candi-
date for the Presidency, is one eminent
ly fit to be made and gives ~unbounded
satisfaction. Now that Gov Seymour is
the candidate. we are at a loss to ac-
count for the fact of our having over
looked him, so perfectly is he qualified
for the position. Horatio Seymour is a
statesman of whom America is proud.
The name itself is a recommendation.
IF elected he will reflect honor upon the
Presidency and will borrow nons@ from
it. This could not have been so truth
fully said Of any candidate for the White
House since the time of Henry Clay.
He lisa man of experience in government,
having filled the Executive chair of New
York for two terms, q man of learning
and accomplishments, exceedingly pol
ished in his name and refined in his
tastes. Above all, he is emphatically an
honest nan the breath of suspicion new
er having touched even the hem of his
garments. No one ever suggested the
slightest deviation from principle in Ho-
ratio Seymour. Had he lived in Ath-
ems in the time of Diogenes, that philos-
opher would not have had far to look
for "a man."
We hold our standard bearer up to
the Republicans and dare them to conf
pare their representative with ours. IF
the people of the United States shall
prefer Ulysses Grant to Horatio Sey.
mour, then have they refrigerated in
deed. They will then be ready for ''the
man ON horseback"
Governor Seymour is a native of the
State of New York. He may be said
to be in the prime of life, bis age being
81. He is a man of great dignity Of
character, fine personal appearance, an
indescribable fascination Of manner, and
an eloquent speaker. A Democrat "of
the s~traightest Sect" it is s~uperauous to
say that he has always been opposed to
the revolutionary measures of the Re-
publican party. and has dealt them some
heavy blows. 1t was only the other day
he exposed, in a speech Of great power
delivered in Cooper Institute, New York.
and by unanswerable arguments. their
%ruinous financial policy and all the 9TH
or unconstitutional acts with which that
party is c~hargeable. W. may nassssaHi
cur in his peculiaE. yiiala - 800 i
to the paymad ne national debt, but
oelng The question of the ille-
gailsfhese negro State governments,
we can afford to be Indifferent to his O.
plnlon on the finances.
We repeat, the nomination il eminent
y wise. and with Governor Seymour
the democracy a give battle fairly and
squarely to the Republican party. But
can he reach the White House, for he
may have every qualification for the !
Presidency and yet be unable to defeat
his adversary
II the people of the United States do
1he'r duty between now and November,
there can be no doubt that our noble
candidate will be elected by an over
Whelm'ng majority.-LBee.
