SEYMOUR AND BLAIR. Hurrah |
How the News was Received in Man.
...| itoWoo.

itowoo.
When we say that no political demon
strstion ever made in Manitowoc equaled
IN extent and enthusiasm that which fol-
lowed upon the announcement last Thurs
daY of the nomination of SEYMOUR and
BLAIR, We speak strictly within bounds.
The daily telegrsphic bulletins issued by
the Plot announcing the progress made by
the convention from day to day, were
sought for by meu of all shades Of politics
with az eagerness which showed how deep
Was the interest taken in its deliberations
and when, early on Thursday afternoon, the
glad tidings, almost unhoped for, were
flashed over the wire that HoRA11o SEY-
MoUR was nominated for President of the
United States, the enthusiasm of the de-
mocracy here knew no bounds. Men
grssped each other by the hand and gave
uttersnce TO the JOY they could not repress;
flags we're flung to the breeze, and the
booming Of artillery was unceasing until
pigh,fall. In the evening the Manitowoo
Brass Band started from their hcadq larters
ct EUGENE ALTERS hall. and, followed by
Q procession of citizens which was aug
msnted at every step, marched thro' the vii
lags fIyipg patriotic airs, the sound of which
Was almost drowned by the continuous and
desfsning cheers. Buildings we're ilIuui-
mated and t.ansparcncies hung out, and the
heayeus we're brilliant with fireworks. The
Rzot and Nord- Westea Offices were honor
sdssith serenades. aud, from the steps in
front o. the former, patriotic speeches en-
dorsing the ticket and the platform were
made by Messrs. E. b TREAT, j. NJ. DIX
ON, DR.. BRowER. and others. which were
received with loud applause. Many prom
inen, democrats we're afterwards serensded
st their residences, and responded to the
compliment ia stirring speeches, and it was

Our Ticket.

It Is with mingled feelings of pride, and
hti6cation, and confident hope for the
aemption of the country from the thrall-
n Of Radical misrule, tina. We shake out
day from the mast bead of the Pilot the
pad banner os Democracy and free gov>
nment, inscribed with the names of SEY>
bUR AND BLAIR.
1t is well known to the readers of the
[tot that, from the 6rst, HoRATIo SEY>
our has been our choice for the high
bee for which he is nominated and,
While We should have accorded cheerful
pport to any other of the distinguished
atesmen whose names were presented to
ps convention, We cannot but feel that in
Iecing HoRATIo SEYMOUR before the peo-
% tor their suffrages, the convention has
one the wisest and oest thing for the
buntry that il was possible for it to do.
lwsys = consistent Democrat, an unselfsh
|atriot, friend of the people, and COM
sded by even his bitterest enemies to stand
Fithout peer in Point Of ability, states-
hanship, ripe culture and experience, the
anne of HoRATIo SEYMOUR will awaken
q enthusiasm among the oppressed and
AZ ridden masses which no other name
Eould evoke. He needs no eulogy from US.
His proud record is before the people. and
bis name is household word throughout
he length and breadth of the land.
General BLAIR, the nominee for the
Vice Presidency, is representative of the
citizen soldiery of the nation. He is one
Of the very few volunteer officers, uneduca>
ted in the regular school, who has risen
BY his merits from the rank of lieutenant
Of infantry to that of a Major General, and
whose perforna nces as soldier fully justi-
6sd the wisdom Of bis promotion. In war
or in politics, in the 6eld or in the forum,
FRANK p. BLAIR has ever proved, By the
test Of the most thorough practice, sue
cess. He has a national reputation, aud
his military record is familiar to many sol
diers from this county. who served under
him in the Seventeenth Army Corps, and
who, on election day, will rally under his
as they did at Atlanta and during
" Sherman's march to the sea. His
nomination to the second place on the
Democratic ticket is wor.hily- bestowed
honor to the statesmanlike abilities as well
~ to the soldierly merits of the man.
The ticket is the best and strongest that
could have been nominated. The platform
is a manly reiteration of the time honored
principles of right and justice tor which the
have always labored, and upon
the success Of which the salvation of the
depends. The night is over,
thank God, and day is breaking. From all
parts of the country the grand chorus is
rising which proclaims the candidates of
the Democratic party to be the choice of
the people, and which points with unerring
Gel tainty to the triumph of the cause of
constitutional liberty and free government
over the military despotism and tyranny
imposed upon the people by Radical fanat>
icism.

Among the innumerable other
instances Of reckless folly, ignor-
anCe and unscrupulOusness in the
present Legislature is the report
of the majority Of the Committee
on Elections IN the House of Rep
resentatives, Of the inelgibilitY of
Mr.. Borge, on the ground that he
registered himself an enemy Of
the United States. aT5'g
Every one at all acquainted

ted States who would not take a
certain oath presented OY MIN,
and answer certain questions as he
required, knows that this registra-
ton was the aot of Butler alone,
and not of the persons charged, 1t
was Butler, or his provost mar
shals, who undertook to register
one-half of our citizens as enemies
of the United States. 1T was q
presumption Of his, and not the
act Of any party. OF course such
a declaration on the part of any
person living within the Federal
lines would have made him q pris-
oner of war, and Butler would
have been prompt to enforce the
rules Of war against him. Now,
the truth is, that many of our best
Union citizens refused to take the
oath prescribed by Butler, who
had no right to exact such an oath,
or to extort answers to imperti-
nent and iinsnitinE questions. In
deed, many who Indignantly
denied that they were enemies Ol
