SEYMOUR and Blair In New York.

1t were fair 10 assume, after all
the duplieitY and c%hicanery resorted
TO by the New York politicians to
secure the nomination of Mr.. SEY-
MOUR, that the event would be hailed
In that State with the greatest en-
thusiasm. But directly the contrary
Is the fact. In no section of the
country has more dissatisfaction been
expressed than by leading Democrats
in the City of New York itself. The
War Democrats, in particular, who
remember the dark days of July,
1863, in which riot and carnage pre-
vailed in all the streets of the great
Metropolis, and terror and eonster-
nation pervaded every heart-all the
work of those Mr.. SEYMOUR regarded
and designated as his friends-were
filled with modification and indigna-
ton, and many of them unhesi-
tatingly and emphatically announe-
cd their determination not to
support the ticket. To any one who
was in the city at the time the nomi-
nation was made, and who sought to
ascertain the feelings Of the people
with regard to it, it was apparent that
the Convention had made a great mis-
take. By a majority of the Demo-
cratic voters, Mr.. CHASE was regard
ed as the strongest and most available
candidate, and next to him General
HANCOCK or Mr.. HENDRICKS was the
most popular. Accustomed to the
tricks of the Albany Regency, they
were not so much surprised at the
nomination as were the Democrats OF
the West, but they like it even less,
and will not support the candidates
with the enthusiasm necessary to in
sure their success.
The business men of the city and
the urge property holders, who have
no peculiar interest to subserve in
Mr.. SEYMoUR's election, regard even
the possibility Of such an event with
uneasiness and alarm. They look
upon him as a politician-and a poll
hclan only-a weak vessel in the
hands OF a Ring of the most corrupt
interruptions, and dangerous men il
the country. IF he was unable t.
resist the opportunities of these men
after emphatically announcing tbar
his honor forbade him accepting n,
nomination. and in the very outse
sacrificed his honor at their dicta
ton, he will be equally unable to re
sist their demands and appeal
in case the country shout
be so unfortunate as to elect hin

ness men, who also remember no,

THE nomination of General FRANK
BLAIR seems to have spiked one of
the Democratic guns. The papers of
that party have had a great deal to
say about GRANTS drunkenness, but
hereafter less will be said on that
subject. The weakness of their can
didate for Vice President, in this par
ticular, is so we'll known that the
impudence of even the party leaders
of that very impudent party is not
equal to the task of abusing the candi-
date of their opponents for a pretended
fault which is SO conspicuous in n of
their nominees. The Hartford Post
says Gen. BLAIR's bill at the Allyn
House, during the campaign last year
in Connecticut, was as follows: 1.-Two
days board SO, lemons and whisky
$65. Total $75." We presume the
General and his friends had a good
time generally on that occasion.

personal loss to all. Rarely is there
to be found such a pure, IN
assuming. consistent and Chris
tian character. A beautiful incl
dent is told of him, while at the
residence Of a physician in Ohio,
where he was seeking to recruit his
health. For the first few days of his
treatment, he suffered terribly from
intense thirst. One day while suffer
ing so, he said to a friend: When I
have this awful craving for water, /
get out my Testament, and read the
last chapter of Revelations, COM
mencing with, And he showed me a
pure river of water of life, clear as
crystal, proceeding cut of the throne
of God and of the Lamb" that
stops my thirst, and | am satisfied"
The thought is beautiful, and worthy
of being remembered.
The following, heretofore unpub-
lished, came under mynotice a few days
since: DIR. Henry A. Nelson-now at
the head of Lane Seminary-occupled
one of the st. Louis pulpits during
the war. Being an out-and-out Union
man, and very positive and nnal in
his sentiments, he had much to con
tend with In the disloyal element
both in the city and his congregation.
On one occasion having fed and
clothed some destitute negroes
out of his own purse, there ap-
peareG some caricatures IN a morning
paper burlesquing his benevolent
acts, and accompanied by an editorial
giving the Democratic view of the
affair. 1t so happened that he started
that Jrning to address a literary
institution some distance from st.
Louis. The people on the cars
laughed at and commented on the
caricatures, and expressed a desire
to tar and feather the Doctor. That
reverend gentleman listened to them
attentively, but as he was not recog-
nized, he thought it not best to cult
vate their acquaintance. Part of the
: journey was to be performed by
stages, and as it was full, the Doctor
eat with the driver, whose habit il
was supply the people along the route
with the st. Louis papers. Jehu be-
ing busy at some places, the Doctor
kindly volunteered to sell the papers
for him, and was much amused by the
| remarks of the people on the con
tents of the paper. the principal par
of which applied to himself. He ex
5 pected the stage to be searched, Blu
t was allowed to proceed an cog. to tn
: end of his journey. However, tn
f bushwhackers were on his track tn
next day, and stopped and examined

LINCOLN to suppr ess the riot in that
city in 1863, before whom the police
were powerless. For these rioters he
had only kind words, who, while
they cheered his speeches, carried on
the bloody carnival until the arrival,
or anticipated arrival, of soldiers who
had been fighting other rebels in
another part of the country, warned
them of the danger of prosecuting
their hellish work. A man who is
thus unable to resist either the i'm
portunity or the f~orcefulness Of his
friends, is not fit for the responsible
position Of Chief Magistrate of a
great nation. The experience of the
past few years has taught the people
a lesson in this particular, which they
ought to, and doubtless will, remem-
Der and profit by in future elections.
The ratification meetings in New
York and Brooklyn, following the
nominations, were indicative OF the
feelings of distrust and dissatlsfac-
ton of which we speak. In BROOK
lyn, in particular. there was no en-
tbusiasm and not even ordinary in
~terest. "a few guns were fired, but
there was none of that impromptu
gathering of the people which midi
Gates 10y and satisfaction at an unex-
nected event. IN New York proper,
the Southern delegates were quite
happy, and because Of their enthusi-
asm, the ratification meeting was vir-
tually placed under their control.
The orators were such distinguished
friends of the lost cause as WADE
HAMPTON, Gen. PRESTON, Governor
VANCE, and they hesitated not to de.
clare, in substance, that the ticket
that day nominated, if elected, virtu
ally gained for the people of the Soutl
that for which they had fought anC
were beaten.
Such being the feeling of the PEG
, pie in the great metropolis of tn,
Empire State, it is easy to estimat,
what it must be on the part Of thos'
living in the interior, with whom Mr.
\ SEYMOUR has never been popular. q
course the most extraordinary exer
tions will be put forth by BELMONT 1
Co. to counteract this feeling and rail-
the party to the support of the noml
nees, but the task will be a sever
:, one, and success can hardlybe classe

bushels to the acre, while in the

be less than fifteen bushels. The
