The net that Frank Blair was nominated at
Tsmmany Hall BY an unpardoned rebel who
had the blood Of our soldiers on his hands, and
who sustained the atrocities at Andsrsonville
and Salisbury, Is telling on loyal soldiers who
have hitherto called themselves Democrats.
A letter from Illinois declares that that State
Is sure to give ffty thousand majority against

leave for foreign parts at the time the Confed-
eracy was subjugated; and now he threatens

The Richmond Whig, alarmed at the tone Of
certain speeches recently delivered by uncon-
structed Southern rebels, says "It has reached
us in very direct way that Mr.. Seymour has
expressed the opinion that certain speech

No department Of the Government has been
50 much abused by Gov. Seymour and Demo-
cratic orators generally As the Frecdmen's Blu

Republican gain applied to New York gives tito
Grant by twenty-eight thousand nine hundred
majority, and secures him all the States. great
and small, Of the North and West, including
the States, except Kentucky, which voted for
