THE COPPERHEAD NOMINEE FOR
PRESIDENT,

named the candidate who is to contes
with General Grant for the highest Office
within the gift of the American people
In nominating Horatio Seymour the
Democratic party have been at leas,
consistent. Next to Pendleton he is
the best, because the most thoroughly
representative man of his party. In
deed the Democratic party may be re
garded as having fallen back to the c.
cupancy of the frmer ground which they
occupied prior to the Chase movement.
They have been induced by contempla
ton of the appearance of strength pre-
scented by their assembled delegates, to
take courage, faunt the true Copperhead
colors aud place themselves in square
antagonism to the National Republican
Union party. They have thus exhibited
more desperate audscity and more man
illness than it was supposed they possess
ed. They have done the second best
thing possible for themselves and the
campaign. Entire consistency and a full
er fealty to declarations would have in
duced Pendieton's nomination. They
have met the issue and made it plain
and unmistakabie. Copperheadism has
dared TO take up the gauntlet thrown
down at Chicago. Itiswell. Fortunate
Iy for the great trial which is to be deter
mined OF the third of next November,
Seymour record is almost as we'll known
as Grants. The Country knows that
while the nominee of the National Union
Republican party was compelling the
surrender Of Vicksburg, Seymour by the
devilish power power of his eloeueuce,
was melting the rabble of New York to
the horrible deeds of violence, rapine
and murder, which from the thirteenth
to the sixteenth of July, 1868, made the
streets of that city as dangerous to loyal
men as the forefront of battle. II is
fresh il the memory Of the people, that
ucited by the utterances of this ba
man, then the Governor of the State OF
New York, the draft was resis,e 70 he
extremity Of an attack upon and dis
persion of the officers in whose charge il
was being conducted that the building
where those officers had their bead
quarters was fred By an infuriated mob
and innocent women and children burnt
to death; that reporters for the loyal
press were seized and mercilessIy beat
invaded, its eight hundred inmates
treated to the most cruel violence, and
he hospitable house that sheltered
Them burnt to the ground !; that peace
Die colored men were murdered by
'cores-one of them being beaten sense
ess, suspended from a tree ard -oasted
o death, and that property to the amount
# over one million dollars was des-
royed. These facts are. az patent as
hat Grant received tho surrender of
zee at Appomat,ox Cou,. House. No
nan need be for a moment in doubt az
o his choice. The campaign of 1864 is
