Frank Blair referred to in his letter as car
Pet-bsggers. The Syracuse journal says:
we presume he meant the fellows who, two
or three years ago, visited New York with

oppose the draft and denounce the Union
soldiers as invaders aud 'Lincoln's hire

A shrewd Southern editor says: 'The
of Seymour and Blair is some
thing like the fever and ague-it cannot be
found in any place where particular inquiry
is made of it. In the settlements, where the
shakes are supposed tO have lodgment,
the people inform inquirers that they do not
have them there, but the inhabitants of an.
other place which they designate have them
awfully.' So Eastern Democrats declare
that their ticket, though not strong here, has
great popularity in the West and Western
Democrats, while confessing to Democratic
in that section, say that
their ticket will run well in the East"
