She needs but one Sea more (Seymour)
to sink her.
A cotemporary says of the Demo
cratic ticket that it "won't hold water"
This may be regarded as a severe cast
at Frank Blair.
Ii is said that Seymour shed tears
the morning after bis nomination. He
should reserve them for the morning
after the election.
The London Spectator says that the
Republicans of America will only have
to raise the cry of Grant and Honesty
to carry the whole country.

Semmes, the pirate, made speech
for Seymour and Blair at Mobile the
other day. He feels almost as happy
on the Democratic stump as he would

"Our soldiers run well this year, :"
was the sneerug remark made by sey-
mour after a series of reverses in 1852.
On which the Newburgh Journal com
ments: "They will run well this year,
too, and are already after his nimble
Excellency with a sharp stick"
The Chicago Post says: ''The
Democrats of Marion county, Kentuc-
ky, had a glorious ratification last
week Friday. They went to the house
of Geo. Rogers, Union soldier during
the war, dragged him from the pres
ence of his wife, and hung him to the
limb of tree"
The indianapolis Sentinel (Dem.)
copies Gen. Francis P. Blair's bill of
''expenses" during two days at Hart
ford, Conn, viz: Two days board, $40;
lemons whiskey, &c, $75-total $s5;
and credits the same to Gen. Grants
name at Denver hotel. The trick is
a contemplate one. q
A Boston letter says: Il hear that
Blair's revolutionary letter, written as a
bid to the rebels for the nomination of
the Vice Presidency, has created muss
among some of the Democrats here,
but matters are now being gradually
adjusted to the satisfaction of all con-
cerued."
The Philadelphia Press says the
Democrats have taken care to nominate
a candidate for President who was in fa-
vcr of the last rebellion against the
government and a candidate for Vice
President who has pledged himself in
favor Of the next rebellion against the
government.
AT his home in Utica, Mr. Seymour

A secessionist at Cape May offered
to bet 5000 that Ohio would go for
Seymour; but when it was accepted
with the addition of $4,000 that Ohio
would give 10000 for Grant, and twice
$4,000 that the same State would give
him twenty thousand majority, the
gallant butternut turned his gray back
and retreated.
The New York World says that if
Grant is not elected by clean major
ty of the white people of the country,
.he Democrats will not submit. The
Democrats declined to submit to the
election of Lincoln until they were in
duced to do so by the forcible argu-
ments of certain Union men-who
were then, as now, under the leader
ship of Gen. Grant.
Gen. Frank Blair, in his speech in
Omaha the other day, said there was
but one race in our country who were
capable of maintaining a free Govern
ment, and the results of the past few
years had demonstrated the fact that
only a portion of that one race were
thus qualified. Thereupon some one
in the crowd shouted, 81 suppose that's

pounced upon by those near him and
most numerically pounded. When

The St. Louis Republican and Ii.
Clay Dean are having a sharp fight
Both profess to be Democratic, but they
hate each other cordially. Here is the
latest: ave know this
Dean. He is disorgapizer, fanatic
an extremist. He does not argue; he
merely denounces, mathematics, rails
and scolds. He has nothing but cursee
for patriotic Union Soldiers. A true
Confederate shudders at the frightful
epithets this peace-speak employs to
describe the men who went out to fight
for their country. against the secession
