The DEMOCRATIC BREAK -UP.-ssData'

THE DEMOCRATIC RKAK-UP.-"Data"
writes TO the Sun:
WASHINGTON, October 1s-Deep int crest and
somewhat OF impatient anxiety is evinced by
the democrats to learn the finale of the sugges-
ton OF leading democratic journals and inf u
entail men of the party relative to the with
drawal OF Seymour aud BLAIR and the nomina-
ton Of new candidates.
Private kilograms received from New York
give the information that Mr. Belmont, Chair
man Of the National Democratic Committee,
has, coDJolntly with certain prominent demo-
crats OF New York, decided that il would be
mprac.'cable TO adopt the suggestion above
mentons d, and Mr.. Belmont refuse to call
the executive committee together. Some dis.
appointment and con siderable indignation is
manifested at this determination OF MT Bel
1t Is charged, have arrogatFd to themselves the
trustFeshIp of the democratic party, and
assumed to decide. upon their self consti-
tutPd authority, matter Of vital importance,
and one possibly that may determine the
success OF the party or prove its dea' h
blow in the coming presidential election.
1t is argued that in the first instance it may
have been. and probably was, impoltic to give
publicity to the suggestions of a new nomina-
ton, but some leading democratic journals aud
influential members of the democratic party
have proposed the withdrawal of Seymour and
Blair, the generalization consequent thereon
is fatal 10 the success of the precent nominees,
ard that there is but one means of repairing the
injury done, and that to nominate new candi-
dates, who Will draw to their support all the
conservat We elemsnts Of the republican and
democratic parties, and infuse into the demo-
cratic voters new hope and confidence.
Several members of the democratic executive
committee now here, IN View of the refus II of
Belmont to act, have determined to call m et.
ing of the committee at Philadelphia on The 23d
instant.
1t is reported that Judge Chase will no. ac-
cept a nomination, but this report lacks au-
theHtie confirmation.
