Seymour and Blair.

Never in the history of Political Conren-
tions have the moneyed men, such as Bel
nom, who IS the financial agent of the
Rothehilds, and the monarchs OF the old
world. made their influence felt more than
in the New York Convention. Seymour
was the '-bloated bondheldcrsr candidate
from the first. His speech at Albany, y
Y, In favor of paying the bonds in gold
was the fyst. strong opposition that was
made TO the-Pendletou movement, and the
Pcndletormen went to New York determ-
ined to slaughter. Seymour, Belmont, and
all the Eastern Bondholders. At the con
vension the East kept quiet, let the Pendle
ton men'do all the Dragging and swearing,
and even ge'so Ear as 10 adopt platform
that could be construed in the West as a
partial triumph Of the Pendleton policy.
but In the East differently. After the plat

began their work of slaughtering Pendle-
ton After few ballots New York cast
her vote solid for Hendricks, uscing Hen
bricks as a-tool TO kill PendIeton, and hay

nominating Chase, and so great was the
fear 10 the West that Chase would be nom

Of one accord, and Internationally surren-
dered" to Belmont, by nominating Seymour
iae rich mans candidate, which nomina-
ton caused an instant advance in Govern
ment Bonds. Seymour is certainly the
weakest nomination that could have been
made: lie win stand no chance Of being
elected; the laborins men and the mechan-
les in the West will now desert the Demo
cratic party BY thousands and come over
and support Graft and Colfax, who are not
owned and controlled By tie moneyed ring
in the East.
Seymour, during the war was Governor
OF New York. and in his speech in the
city OF New York, the 4th day OF July,
1868. said 1t was, useless "trying to put
down the rebellion" and that the Union
was not worth preserving by the sacrifice
Of human life, which speech contributed
more than any other cause to bring on that
terrible riot in New York few days after,
in which Onion men and soldiers were
butchered by a New York mob. and their
houses burnt 10 ashes, and during the riot
he addressed these butchers as my dear
friends" He is q man that to-day is
deeper rebel at heart than yallandigham;
and he viii be beaten worse for the Presi-
den = than was Vahandigham when he run
for Coy srnox of Ohio. .f.- -
Blair, the Democratic nominee for Vice
President, Is the same Blair who made a
stronger abolition speech here. a few years
ago than was ever made in the town of
Plymouth He wrote strong war letter
TO the Democratic Convention, saying that
we must haye President that willstr
pie into dust the usurpations Of Congress,
known rs the Reconstructed acts" This
letter proposing again to reopen f:iswa
for the benefit ofthe South greatly delight
ed he numerous rebel soldiers who were
delegatss In the Democratic Convention,
and fAsg dteermined on nominating iiim.e-1
Ills mama. was placed before the convention
by Gen Preston, Forest and Wade ITamp-i
ION, ill rebel offcers. Seymour is avery
weak caDdidate5 but Bfar is much weaker:
he is one Of the most notorious drunkards
In the West, and was kicked out OF the
Republican party for his general worth
lessness- Such are the candidates that the
Democracy have placed before the people
for abe Presidency and Vice Presidency :.
Those that wish another civil war wiltvo*c
for Blair and Seymour. Those that desire
peace and prosperity to our country will
