20 THE DEMOCRACY OF OLD FAIRFIELD.
I'VE congratulate the Democracy of the
county upon the harmonious, wise and
faithful deliberations of our National DEM
ocratic Convention, resulting in the selec-
tion of such eminent and fitting standard
bearers. More wisdom, honor and integ-
rity were never before assembled together
in any deliberate body. The Democracy
OF the whole nation are full of hope. With
such platform and such men as Seymour
and Blair there is no such word as fail. Vic
tory already perches on our banners: Sey-
en- years OF Black Republican misrule has
taught the people lesson never to be for
gotten. We want a change-a restoration
of the Constitution. We want plenty, peace
and prosperity to again bless our land.
Democrats of Fairfield, the campaign is
opened, the contest already begun; buckle
on your armor, enter the field OF action, re-
solved upon victory, and falter not until
| you've gained the battle.

OUR CANDIDATEs.-The Democratic Con-
vention at New York, on last Thursday,
nominated Horatio Seymour, of New York,
for President, and General Frank p. Blair,
of Missouri, for Vice President. 1t is a
very strong ticket, and will be acceptable
Governor Seymour is statesman of un-
| questioned ability and integrity, and has
always been great favorite with his party.
He had positively declined to be candi-
date, but the Convention having unani-
mously insisted on his nomination, he ac-
cepted the position. General Blair is an
able statesman and gallant soldier, and
admirably qualified for the office of Vice
President In point of ability and quail
| fifcations the ticket is superior beyond
com parison to that nominated by the Rad
| icals.
We predict that the people, tired of Rad
ical misrule, will triumphantly indorse, at
| the polls, the nominations made by the Con.
vention.
[From the Weekly Northwest.l
Our NOMINEE Horatio Seymour, of
New York, Is the Democratic nominee for
President, and Francis P. Blair, of Mis-
souri,, the candidate for Vice President.
This is a disappointment to many Demo-
Gratis of Ohio who were SO anxious to see
their own favorite, George III. Pendleton,
at the head OF the ticket; but it is, perhaps,
the best nomination that could have been
made. .-
In Horatio Seymour we have the man
for the crisis, the profoundest statesman
this country can boast to-day. Clear
headed, and OF great experience, his cleo
tion will give peace to the country and
confidence and repose to trade.
General Blair, as is well known, is gen.
tleman of great experience in public at
fairs. His noble stand against the iEiqui-
tous test oaths of Radicals in Missouri can
never be forgotten.
A sound greenback platform, one that
without clap-trap, demands one currency
for all-equal taxation-a return to the
old Democratic system of econOmy-a re-
| lief of the people from the oppressive bur
dens of taXation-the abolition of military
rule and usurpation-will lead us to GER
tain success.

OUR CANDIDATE FOR .PREsIDENT-HE
WILL BE ELECTED.-The Democratic Ma
tional Convention has presented as our
standard bearer for the Presidency sound
Democrat and one of the deepest and most
brilliant statesmen of the age, Horatio Sey-
mour, of New York. His nomination has
been ratified with much enthusiasm
throughout the country, and no where with
more spirit than in Ohio, whose Democ
racy, though disappointed in their failure
to effect the nomination of Mr.. Pendleton,
had the honor of naming the candidate in
the choice of Horatio Seymour.
We hail his nomination as the beginning
of the overthrow of the Radical "higher
law" destructionists and the reinstatement
| of Democratic men and measures in the
administration of the Government. 1G is
work of mighty magnitude in its character
and results; no less is at stake than the life
OF the nation, the establishment and per-
petuity of republican institutions; for who
does not know and feel that the Govern
ment as now administered by the Radical
party, instead of being one of the written
and limited constitutional powers and
guarantees, is despotically perverted and
trsmpled in the dust. The enemies of pop
ular government are in power, under
| -. 10 has,, ar
robbed and reduced by taxation, direct and
indirect to that condition of serfdom so ne
cessary to the proposed Radical centraliza-
| tion of power. 7.e sss-=r-.-
Intelligent freemen, no matter with what
party they may have acted in the past,
should not hesitate now to support the
standard bearer of the Democracy-pre-
sented by the party that proposes to COM
pletely and emphatically restore the old
order of things under the Constitution, and
party whose history guarantees fulfill
ment of this promise.
We hoist at the masthead the name of the
nominee, and enter the campaign in the
confident belief hat he will be elected.

THE T1cKEr.-The National Democratic
Convention finished its labors on Thurs
| day, the 9th inst, by nominating for Pres
ident, Horatio Seymour, of New York; for
Vice President, Gen. Frank p. Blair, jr, of
Missouri.
Our first choice was George 81. Pendle-
ton but the Convention assembled thought
he was not the strongest man for the cam
paign.
! didates are unwavering Democrats and
will receive the united vote of the Democ-
racy.

| OrR PRESIDENTIAL NoMINEES.-We this
l week place at the head of our columns the
names of the gallant standard bearers,
chosen by the National Convention to lead
us on to victory and peace this fall, Horatio
Seymour and Frank P. Blair, Jr. We must
admit that we felt disappointed at not be-
inc able to announce the nomination of
Pendleton, but as the Convention decided
against him, we abide the result, and the
more willingly because it has selected one
of the most able and profound statesmen in
Il the land; clear-headed and experienced
gentleman, whose election will bring peace
and prosperity to our distracted country.
The platform is plain and explicit, and
has been accepted by the nominees and will
be carried out in good faith.
I With such ticket and platform, victory
: is almost assured, and we feel confident that
the first Tuesday in November will see ii
triumphantly elected.
