NEW YORK, Oct. 10, 1865.
10 Jos. d. Hanover, Washington, d. c.:
No authority OF possibility to change
front All friends consider it totally i'm
practicable and equivalent to disbanding our
forces. We in New York are not panic
stricken. S. j. TILDEN,
AUGUST BELMONT,
AUGUSTUS ScHEIL.
There is scarcely room for u doubt how
ever that Seymour has placed himself in the
hands of the committee to be withdrawn if
they sec fit. The committee however say in
the above dispatch that it is impossible.
Though the 'scliange of base" movement
apparently failed, through the refusal of
Tilden, Belmont and Schell, to consider the
subject. but it is by no means certain that
the decision is final. These gentlemen were
so deeply implicated in procuring Scymour's
nomination and his withdrawal just on the
eve of a campaign would be such pointed
rebuke to their tactics, that they are consid-
cred incapable of considering the matter
without personal feelings, and there is
movement to secure an immediate meeting
of the Democratic National Committee.
The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger, telegraphed to that
paper on Monday
'There is some dissatisfaction and disap-
pointment expressed by many Democrats
here at the refusal OF Mr.. Belmont and other
New York leaders to call together the Ma
tional Executive Committee to nominate
new candidates, and several members of the
Executive Committee, now here, have deter
mined to call meeting of the committee at
Philadelphia on the 23d instant. 1t is re-
ported that Judge Chase will not accept
nomination, but this report lacks authorita
tive confirmation. F.. f."
Data telegraphed to the Baltimore ,Sta, on
the same day as follows:-
"Private kilograms received from New York
give the Information that Mr.. Belmont,
chairman of the National Democratic Com
mittce, has, cojointly with certain prominent
democrats of New York, decided that it
would be impracticablc to adopt the sugges-
tion above mentioned, and MIR. Belmont re-
fuses to call the executive committee togeth-
er. Some disappointment and considerable
indignation is manifested at this determine
tion of NIr. Belmont and the other New
York democrats, who, it is charged, have
arrogated to themselves the trusteeship of
the democratic party, and assumed to decide,
upon their sclf-consttuted authority, mat
ter of vital importance, and one possibly
that may determine the success OF the party
or prove its death-blow in the coming presi-
Dental election.
IL Is tiiit III tub ~ may
have been, and probably was impolitic to
give publicity to the suggestion ofa new
nomination, but since leading democratic
journals and influential members the DEM
ocratic party have proposed the withdrawal
Of Seymour and Blair. the Generalization
consequent thereon is fatal to the success of
the present nominees, and that there is but
one means of repairing the injury done. and
that is to nominate new candidates., who
will draw to their support all the conserva-
tive elements of the republican and demo-
cratic parties, and nfuse into the democrat
ic voters new hope and confidence
Several members of the democratic execu-
tive commlttc now here, in view of the refu-
sal of Belmont to act, have determined to
call meeting of the committee in Philadel-
phia on the 23d instant"
That Governor Seymour is not only will
ling, but anxious to withdraw, is well known
and The report of his decination was well
| founded though the declnation was not ac-
| cepted
An associated Press despatch under date
of Utica, Oct. 18th, says:-
"a conference took place yesterday be-
1 tween Governor Seymour and certain mem
pers of the National Democratic Executive
Committee in relation to some important
measures to be adopted in the present can
| vass.
s'During the conference Gov. Seymour al
luded to the suggestions made in some quar-
tiers, as to change in the Presidential ticket,
and said that any change which would be
made. must includc his withdrawal, that he
was nominated against his wishes, and it
would be relief to him if any other nanlc
were substituted for his own.
'sThe committee replied that no change
had been contemplated by any Of them, and
that in thcirjudgment nothing could be so in
| furious to the Democratic cause rs change
of candidates, and they refused 70 entertain
| the question:.
This of'course, is the opinion Of the New
York members of the committee. but as we
have seen in the Letlger's dispatches, it is
not agreed with by the other members who
have no personal interest in the matter, and
are not willing to annihilatc the Democratic
party in the nation for the sake Of a last des-
pcrate effort 10 secure to Tammany pollti-
clans the patronage OF the State of New
York.
No better evidence OF the strong dissuts-
faction existing, concerning the nominations
could be given than the following extract
from a lengthy editorial in the last number
of that radically democratic paper, the Phila-
delphia Sunday Mercury. The article is
such a remarkable one that we make length
ly extract. Ii is as folloWs:-
Gas regards the election i'll the State, Penn.
sylvania seems to have gone with Ohio, and
perhaps Indiana, ior the '.torch and turpen
tine" party. We shall not pretend to account
for this beyond the fact, that the Democratic
National Convention that met in New orl
last July, made mistake, both in the ticke
they nominated, and in certain articles oftht
platform ofprinciples on which they plantet
themselves, their party, and their candidates
We have, and always shall have, the highes
