has not been allowed to deny himself to the
service of his country, at this juncture, be-
cause in him is recognized the special ability
now demanded for her service. He is the
statesman, the thinker, the administrator to
whose ripe wisdom and experience the American
people can safely trust the helm OF State in III
the difficult questions that attend our future
as nation. Problems of finance and of gov
ernment are those in which he is best fitted to
guide to safe and just solutions. Since the
war General Blair has sustained the policy OF
President johnson, and is, in opirion, thor
oughly identified with the Democracy. His
views we're lately stated in q eulogy upon Hon.
Thomas h. Benton, Of which We, at the time,
laid portion before our readers. His recent
letter commended him to us, as it did mo doubt,
to the Convention.
From the New Haven Journal, Republican,
Gov. Seymour is perhaps the ablest man in
the Democratic rarty. He has the advantage
of an education and Of lifelong experience in
political chicanerv. Had he not been parti-
san he might have been statesman, but his
training has been in that corrupt and selfish
school Of politicians that have dsgraced New
York for q quarter Of century. OF Gen. Blair
it is enough to say that he is his own worst
enemy. From being Radical Red Republican
he has gradually sunk, with his failing man
hood, into the ranks of the Copperhead Democ-
racy. He can go no lower and it is improba-
BILE that he will ever rise higher.
From the Boston Transcript, Republican,
It must be admitted that Seymour, apart
from his unquestioned ability, is an admirable
exponent Of the Democratic party. Pretend
ing to be an anti-repudiator, he is nominated
on regulatory. platform, and can, ther efore,
be run on the gold or the greenioack dodge, ae-
ported. Consistency and honor are not in de-
inand in the Democratic party, and it has,
therefore, done well in selecting for it's stan
dard-bearer man Of fnesse rather than princl-
pie, and who.is unexcelled in the art OF giving
plausible aspect to propositions which in
themselves are fallacious, unjust or inhuman.
From the Boston Journal, Republican,
We have no doubt We express the entire Re
publican sentiment in avowlng our complete
satisfaction with the New York no minations.
They represent their party well. Mr.. Seymour,
New York, ostensibiy lent his support to the
war for the Union, was really the worst thorn
in the eide Of Abraham Lincoln, and one OF the
most obstinate impediments to the success OF
the loyal> cause. His miserable, paltering
couree during the draft riots, and his address:
ing the brutal murderers as ''my friends, Will
never be forgotten-at least during the pre-.
sent canvass. His merit, as nominee, is that
he will help bring out the true issues Of the
campaign, drawing the lines squarely, and
making q fair, stand-up fight.
From The Hartford Times, Democratic.]
Governor Seymour's reputation is wider than
the Union, and his ability and integrity are be-
lieved to be fully equal to the high duties
which he will be called upon to discharge. We
need not say that We are rejoiced that the NOM
ination has fallen upon true and reliable
representative Of the Democratic party. With
out derogation Of the patriotism or the power
Of the eminent man who wears the robes Oh
the Chief Justice, We may say that at this
iuncture it required Democrat TO unite tie
great party Of the people, snd to win. Cover
nor Seymour will be elected. he is one OF the
two, or perhaps three men whose names hare
been before the Convention, OF whom this can
be positively asserted. The platform ls as
sound and strong as the nomination. Botn
will sweep the West like a whirlwlnd, and IN
deed carry nearly all the Northern States,
as well as some Of the Southern.
from the Hartford Post, Republican,
While unusual ability has been conceded to
Mr.. Seymour, ne has ALWAYS been considered
ambition, his vacillations resulting therefrom
have made him the objec; OF much censure
from that class oflDemocrats like Ar. Eaton, o.
this State, who believe III bold movements, and
ne was the last man tffeyn ed to see seiec:ed
by the Convention. While his nomination has
prevented any open row i'll the Convention. tue
party has gained nothing. that IT would not
have secured under the lead .f pendleton,
whose platform he stands upon. lie Wff-Set
the straight u. .mocratic vote and that is al:
While Chase, OF even Eng lsh, might have pro-
voked more G, husiasm among the masses.
Seymour will awake none.
From the Worcester Spy Republican,
The Democrats could not have done their
work more to the satisfaction Of their oppon-
ents, nor have nominated candidates who could
be more easily and surely beaten a5 the polls
From the. Milwaukee Sentinel, Republican,
Blood.letting for the Unionists VI the South
slavery for the negro; Reputation for those
who have come forward with lheifs means to
the aid of their impOrllled country. This is the
reasonable tripod upon which the New York
platform rests, aud which IS concealed beneath
flowing drapcry OF plausible professions.
From tho st. Louis Democrat Republican,
All the world knows that the body of North
ern Copperhead, have as little desire!to protect
the national honor in peace as they had to sus-
tain its fag in war; that the Southern rebels
hate those who crushed them with loans as
much as they hate those who crushed them
with arms that Copperhead and rebel, form
ing four-ifths OF every Democratic convention,
feel that the interest paid upon the national
debt is the badge of their shame and the price

facts, the platform will not be misunderstood
Itmeans Reputation. It assails the nationa
credit in It's resolutions quite as plainly as il
assails the peace Of the nation in its resolutions
regarding reconstruction. 1t is such as rebels
only should support.
From the Baltimore Gazette, Demdcraticl
We confess to feeling Of disappointment at
the refusal of the Nominating Convention to
select Mr.. Pendleton as its candidate. He had
more popular strength than any other, gentle
man who was named, his fitness for the place
was conceded, his political and financial views
had been endorsed By the Convention, and It
WAS clear that his name evoked most readily
the enthusiasm of the country. We fail, there
FORE to appreciate the soundnesa Of the reason ;,
ing by which the Convention was led d to reject l,c
toms defelt, we cheerfully accept the decision
Of the Convention, s9d we shall labor stTenr.
ously to secure tor Governor Seymour as large
q majority in Maryland as any other State will
give, in proportion to its.population.
