/ In response to these resolutions, Belmont

Of New York are not panic-stricken, and
do not propose to change the nominees.
The resolution above given is correct
representative Of the Democrats of the vi
cinity, if not of the entire State. In fact,
one Of the gentlemen present at the con-
ference, and prominent one too, declared
on the streets to-day that be would sooner
vote for Grant than Chase. Democrats here
freely characterize the movement as one of
Manton Marbles abortive schemes, which,
If carried on, would result in the complete
disruption of the Democratic party. They

Subject.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. Is, 1S6S.-The city has
been in state of great excitement all day
over the rumored resignation Of Seymour
and Blair. Blair's friends openly reported
that the General, who arrived last night,
had assured them that his resignation vas
in the hands of the General Committee.
As soon as it was known that Blair had
visited the Ersning Dispatch Office, the edi-
tor of which Is his personal friend and
| counselor, the appearance of the paper was
looked for with great interest. The editorial
upon the subject contained the following
sentence:
I" 1t is, however, proper to say, that
neither Governor Seymour nor General
Blair has resigned, nor is it probable that
| any suggestion TO that effect has yet been
made to them. Such coup detat ought
not to be resolved upon rashly. Neither
Of the candidates Is at liberty to resign
until it is made clearly manifest that such
is the wish of the Democratic party. Should
such manifestation be forthcoming,
neither gentleman, We presume, would
/ hesitate a moment as to his course. I he
designations of both would, we venture to
say, be in the possession Of the National
Democratic Executive Committee as fast
as the wires could carry them. The first
| duty, however, Is to consult the country.
| We should wait to hear what the Demo-
! cratic press has to say upon the matter We
| should wait TO hear what the Democratic
! State Executive Committees have to say
upon it. At the present moment there
seems to be a panic in New York and
| Washington, and counsel coming from the
panic-stricken is seldom wise or safe. We
say, let the collected sense of the party de-
termine the question and not the fears Of
individuals. One thing is very clear, Sey.
mour and Blair, whatever may be theii
feelings or wishes, have no right TO qui
their posts as acknowledgements of the Demo
cratic party until they have authorized per
mission to do sO.'

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE movement
has made quite stir here among those who
have heard of it. Democrats 10 general
appear at loss in what way to receive 1t,
whether to regard il as an addition to tbs
chapter of blunders lately committed by
their party, or to welcome il as the ultima
spes, the lost hope Of vanquishing the heIC
of Appomattox. Opinions differ widely
and perhaps thus iitly reflect the eOnfusioI
that must ensue whether the scheme b.
pressed to contamination or abandoned a
insdyisable. Some take this view, tina
however unlimely the scheme has beef
thrust upon the party, now that If Is out

J cation which will certainly be given TO
