do all in our power to secure the election
of the nominees
Horatio Seymour is undoubtedly the
man for the crisis, being, without doubt,
the greatest American Salesman now liy-
ing, and having had large experience as an
executive officer, he is eminently fitted for
the position for which he has been nomt-
mated, and to which we have no doubt but
what he will be elected.
General Blair is man of vast experience
in the legislation of our country, having
served several years as a member of Con-
gress. His manly stand but a few years
ago against the iniquitous test oaths of the
Radicals in Missouri will be remembered
by every one, and that act in and of itself
is enough to commend him to every lover
of his country. srFt h sFal
The ticket is a strong one-ope which
every lover of his country will indorse-
and one which will be indorsed by the
white voters of Ohio by at least twenty
five thousand majority at the coming No
vember election.

THE CoNvENTIoN.-On Thursday, at the
22d ballot, the Convention closed its labors
by the nomination of eX Governor Horatio
Seymour, OF New York, and Major Gener-
al Francis p. Blair, of Missouri, as candi-
dates tor President and Vice President.
Although there was determined oppose
tion to the nomination of certain men, yet
the Convention passed off quietly, was
marked with great enthusiasm and Gid not
disappoint the hopes of the country. Lias
! The news of the nomination when re-
ceived here disappointed many, inasmuch
as they had so ardently desired that PEN
dleton be placed upon the ticket; but, after
the chill cast by the defeat of their favorite
had passed, they became convinced of the
wisdom of the Convention in its action, and
gave to the ticket the same cordial recep-
ton they would have done had Pendleton
! been on it. s-y af. g..
The platform is all the Democracy wish
ed or the country. demanded, is clear and
comprehensive. Unlike the Chicago thim-
ble-rigging affair, it meets the questions of
the day boldly and announces the decision
of the party in open, unmistakable terms.
[From the Mt. Vernon Banner.] XII
In common with every sincere friend of
Mr.. Pendleton we regretted that he did not
receive the nomination.; for we believed, and
still believe, that he was the general favo-
rite of the Great West, that has become an
empire in strength on the American conti-
nent. But although we did not secure the
nomination OF our own loved Pendleton
it is gratifying to. know that Ohio nomina
ted Horatio Seymour, who, with the bless
ing of God, will be the next President o
these United States. ri
The Convention with great unanimity
nominated General Frank P. Blair, OF Mis-
souri,, as the candidate for Vice President
, He is son of Francis P. Blair, Sr., edito
of the Old Washington Globe, the organ o
Jackson and Van Buren,. He served sew
eral terms in Congress, and distinguished
himself during the late civil war. He is
gentleman of decided ability. -.....-
) Now let every good Democrat and Con
servative citizen, who is opposed to the re
! volutionary and oppressive acts of the Rad
ical mongrel party, forgetful of all persona
wishes and ignoring all past differences o
opinion, go to work in earnest for the pur
: pose of securing the overwhelming ant
, eternal overthrow of the corrupt, dishon
: est, thieving, blood-stained Jacobin part,
now in power.
