General Frank T.. Blair, democratic candi-

demonstrative welcome last night at the great
meeting in Tammany Hall. He made a speech
Of nearly an hours length, defending himself
from the charge of being revoutionist. cast

home to these spoilsmen that Seymour and

80 desperate that nothing but the desperate
remedy Of change Of front and change Of

This remedy was boldly proposed. and the
dead weight Of General Blair was urged from
day to day for week or more through the
copperhesd organ aforesaid, as involving an
imperative necessity to change the ticket.

York Democracy.

York Democracy.
To 60 back no further the New York de-
mocracy committed q serious blunder in con-
senting to the supplanting Of Martin Van
Buren, in the Baltimore Convention of 1874 by
the two-thirds rule Had they in the outset
made his nomination their ultimatum they
would have secured it and saved themselves
and the whole party world of troubles and
disasters They saved Polk in 1874, with the
understanding that in 1S4S Van Buren, should
have another run for second term; but in
l84S they caved again at Baltimore, which
resulted in Van Buren's third party ticket,
through his determination to take his case into
his own hands against the Southern oligarchy,
which he did, and SO swamped them. In 1852
firm and united stand at Baltimore by the
New York democrats would have resulted in
better candidate than poor Pierce. In 1856
they did as well as could be expected, perhaps,
under the circumstances; but in 1860, at
Charleston, the men of the New York delega-
ton were mere playthings in the hands of the
Rhetts, the Yanceys and Slidells. So in 1864
they were twisted around the finger of Vallan-
convention jugglings, they were twisted around
the finger Of Wade Hampton. Thus, since
1910, the leaders of the democracy of the En-
pire State have played second fiddle to their
Southern masters. and Seymour, it is to he
hoped, will be the end of the chapter

Mixed Motives.

The power of man 5 conduct depends upon
the number of motives which it has to push
it. When train of cars is stuck in the
snow, they first put one engine behind, and
it pushes and butts, and butts and pushes,
and the train creeps slowly along a little way
and stops. They send for another engine.
and put that behind and with the two they
draw back to gain some impetus, an1 then
plunge into the drift, al d the train stops
again They send for the third engine and
put that behind and now there are three
great motive forces, and they plunge in, and
up springs the snow on every side, and the
train moves as though it were going to over
como the obstruction but its speed de
creases at every revolution of the wheels.
and it soon stops They want one more en-
CINE; and now with the four, they viii shove
the train through with power that is ire
sistible.
Well, here is line of conduct snd the
more motives you put against 1t, the more
forcible it will be. A man s action will be
powerful in proportion to the number of fac
ul,ies that are inspired to urge him forward
Mixed motives, therefore, are desirable. You
say, Il performed good deed to day, but
it does not seem to have proceeded from a
single motive 1 think 1 can distinctly trace
as aving to do with that deed, six different
motives" " Which was the leading one
,'Well, think benevolence was the strong
est. =" Then, what was next? "Well, think
conscience was the next" And what was
there then? well to'speak the truth. I
think pride, and some sense of what was
becoming and proper, came next" And
what then? We'll. | am sure that fell
into the weakness of thinking that people
would know it, and praise me and | think
that adulterated my other motives" Adul
terated them? 1t did not do any such thing.
II CO operated with them If benevolence
vas fret that was fit motive and then you
might put as many behind it as you pleased
Only let that motive which leads all the rest,
aud gives direction to them, he high and
divine, and then behind it put every motive
you can, and you will not adulterate it. Ev-
cry one you add is an adjuvenant under such
circumstances. But if it is selishness that
leads, then you may well suspect all youI
motives, for with such leader they will al
be serving wrong end but it will be be
cause the leading one is DOT right. Let the
mind go right end first, and then the more
motives you have, the better And the
great trouble with persons in life is not that
they have mixed motives, but they have toe
few motives, for such is the nature Of thing.
that, in proportion as you go toward thing,
low and gross, the fewer motives can be
brought to bear on conduct; while in pro.
portion as you go toward that which Is high
and pure. the more motives can be made &c
cooperate in that direction. 1t is not, then
mixed motives that ought to trouble you
but wrong motives-that is, wrong facultie:
