The Taniniany Nominatsons-iefter

Valandigham and Too Ne,o York Dele
gates Responsible for Seyaour's Nomina-
tion.-Every day brings to light some new
| feature in the conduct Of the managers of
of the Democratic Convention. II Is now
understood that the night preceding the
nomination, che Ohio delegation met, and
having carefully canvassed the situation,
again determined to support Pendleton.
With this understanding the delegation ad-
Journed. Later IN the night Vallandigham
and two New York delegates had consulta-
ton, which lasted until daylight.
When the Convention met, Ohio, instead
of voting for Pendleton, withdrew his name,
and before the delegation knew what they
! were about, the name of Seymour was
hoisted and carried through with q rush.
When this trick was discovered there was a
great outcry among the Ohians, and Val
landigham, General McCook, Pugh, and
Thurman, who were discovered to have been
the perpetrators, were alluded to in no very
temperate epithets. ILL.,
These men the Democratic party must
| hold responsible for the humiliating atti-
tude it holds before the eyes Of the nation,
and at their door should be laid the blame
of the sacrifice of so fair prospect Of sue
cess Washington Correspondence Of Ne,c
York Herald, July 18th. n
In the above are many inaccuracies.
l. The Ohio delegation did not, the night
before the nomination, determine to con-
tinue to support Pendleton. On the con-
trary, Mclean gave distinct notice to the
delegation that in the morning he would
present Mr.. Pendleton's letter Of declina-
ton. Some time later than midnight the
delegation, after hot debate, adjourned
without agreeing upon candidate. In the
morning they met; Hancock received a
majority of the votes !; there was much ex-
| element; and finally it was resolved to
cast the first ballot for Packer. Seymour
was canvassed, and found to be acceptable
whenever it should be deemed advisable tc
present his name. .... ....
2. Vallandigham did not meet with two
delegates, nor with one or any, from New
York at all that night, much less consult
with them till daylight. In the morning,
upon the assembling of the Convention, he
learned personally and definitely that the
New York delegation did not feel at liberty
to support Seymour, and replied that if ne
cessary he would be putin nomination not
outstanding. ,a,~. =.
3. Seymour's name was not " hoisted y
before tho Ohio delegation knew what they
were about. Colonel McCook called the
delegation out, and by vote was instructed
to put Seymour in nomination.
4. There was no trick" and therefore
no discovery" and of course no "out-

was present, nor had knowledge OF the
movement, and no epithets, temperate y
or otherwise, were applied to them, nor to
anybody else. ~
{. The men who were responsible for the
nomination Of Governor Seymour rejoice,
no doubt, in the responsibility, especially
in view of the strong and rapidly-increas'
ing probabilities of his election. r.
Z. AS matter of opinion, believe that
had New York withheld her vote from Mr.
Hendricks Judge Chase would have been
nominated within an hour. raA "
So much by way of correction. AS tc
the manner in which the nomination was
partly brought about, and partly happened,
it is not proper that anything be said fur,
Their, except that, positively, Governor Sey-
mour had no knowledge or intimation OF
the movement till twenty minutes previous
to his nomination, and acted in good faith
throughout; and, moreover, will 60 into the
Presidential Office without a single pledge
or promise of any kind made to any one
previous to his nomination.
As to the pretended exultation OF part
of the Republican press over the Democra,
tic nominations, pay no heed to it. 1t is m
old trick, and very shallow. The more sa,
gacious and candid Republican organs
such as the New York Times and CONNER

stop trifing and Boosting, and set to work
without delay" And the Advertiser de-
clares that "Seymour is the most popular
man in the Democratic party"
Elections already held within year SHOW
that the Democracy are almost in the as
cendancy in States enough to give majority
of electoral votes to Seymour and Blair
Add, now, to these that vast multitude o
burdened, wronged, oppressed, and discon
tented people among the Republican masses
and who are determined to have

| have now myself been in New York
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, an'
Delaware, and can say with truth tina
among the Democratic masses no nomlna
tons have been made for years which ar
received with so much satisfaction, ant
that | have never known time whel
among these masses there was such univer
sal confidence in success. Nothing now
needed but combined wisdom and boldnes
in planning and conducting the campaign
