says that none of the candidates now
prominently named will receive the Demo
cratic nomination at New York, and that
the party can only be united by bringing
forward new man.-ErchG7age
Such stuff as the above is more than
Democratic nature can bear. To have one
of that PEsTILENT BLAIR FAMILY talking
thus oracularly about the affairs of the
Democratic party is the most impudent
thing of the day.
What have the Blairs.in in common with
the Democratic ? party
They all contributed, to the extent of
their ability, to widen the gulfand increase
the bitterness between the North and the
South, which led to the late tremendous
convulsions.
Tt is this Blair family, whose history is
thus truthfully sketched, which now claims
position and a voice in the Democratic
party, and even assumes to dictate its
nomination for the Presidency In fact, it
has the modesty to claim the nomination
for one of its own MEMBERSHIP butcher
Of ST. Louis-the nice young gentleman
who was so adroitly balanced between the
Speakership and Brigadier- -Generalship,
and to whom Lincoln so kindly tossed
the latter when the former was not to be
caught.
Has the Democratic party fallen so low
as to be used by such creatures? Is it so
craven as, to allow such fellows to say
what it shall do or what it shall not do?

The Nomination of Seymour.

THE New York Herald published the
following blank verse, on the morning
following the nomination of Seymour. 1t
will be seen, however, on perusing it, that
there is more truth than poetry about it :
Seymour
"Seymour won't accept. He will pass
the nomination over to Chase"
"I don't see it."
1t wasn't seen.
Seymour takes the domination and
rockets the insult to his
Honor!
Everybody except some Southern ex-
rebels goes away
Seth Adams, of Massachusetts,, says the
campaign in the East is
Crushed!
Lew Campbell goes back to his farm in
Ohio and declares
Seymour won't carry State northwest
of the Ohio.
New Hampshire regards the nomination
Five thousand majority in that State for
Grant!
Maine says this has been the first real
Grant ratification meeting that he's been
held since the campaign opened.
The two platforms.
The two Dromios-one the
Dromio of Chicago, the other the
Dromio of New York
1t will be amusing to see them in the
Presidential contest, and
Lots of fun will follow.
Blair!
That's new name in the councils of
the nation;
But it was once heard of
Before the deluge.
1t is Familiarity known in the
Kitchen cabinets of every admmistra-
ton at Washington.
1t is bully name for

Street comments on the situation
Grant will walk over the course.
Grant will be the
Hurrah boy
The brave boy!
The jolly boy!
The sensible boy
The victorious boy
The boy who fears no noise.
The boy who will sweep into

By a majority unprecedented in the
history Of Presidential elections in the
Republic.

The Seymour Banner.

AN innocent Ohio delegate inquired,
Thursday night, how it was, if Seymour S
nomination was entirely unexpected, that
a finely executed portrait of the unwilling
candidate was ready for the banner
paraded in the streets within an hour after
the nomination. The Buckeye intellect,
bewildered by the astonishing tactics of
New York politicians, was not adequate
to the explanation of this curious phenom-
enon, and we are unable to give it any
assistance in this case. Sometimes small
and apparently immaterial circumstance
will fasten on criminal conclusive evi-
dence of his guilt. In like manner this
insignificant banner, bearing the unmis-
taxable likeness of the oft declining Sey-
mour, and carried through the streets i'm
mediately after his nomination, will fur
nish irrefragible proof that when. Mr..
Seymour's friends declared him out Of the
field, they knew that they were perpe-
trating a fraud.-N Y Post.

assessing and collecting the internal reve
nue." Both claim for the naturalized citi-
zen equal rights and protection with the
native citizen, and the Republican Con-
vention also extends its hands to cop
pressed people, struggling for their rights
and urges the encouragement of foreign
immigration. The Democracy threw
few words to the soldiers and sailors in
sentence that looks like an afterthought;
but the Republicans in their 10th resolu-
ton earnestly express the thanks of the
country to its gallant defenders and
declare that the bounties and pensions to
which they and theirs are entitled are
obligations never to be forgotten"
We have already commented upon the
positions of the two parties on financial
questions The Republican platform un-
equivocally pronounces against repudia-
tion in every form, declares that the
national debt must be paid according to
the letter and spirit of the laws under
which it was contracted; that it should
be extended over fair period for redemp-
ton and the rate of interest upon it re-
duced, whenever that can honestly be
done; and that the best way to diminish
our burden of debt is to improve our
credit. The Democratic platform is con-
strued by the accredited organ of the
party one way in. Chicago and the oppo-
site way in New York. It would proba-
bly, receive an Interpretation consistent
with the national honor from Seymour as
President /; but Blair, in the event Of his
succession, would be likely to adopt the
Pendleton construction.
On questions connected with the restor-
alton of the rebel States to their practical
relations with the Union, the Democracy
demand:
~. Immediate restoration of all the States to
their rights in the Union, under the Constitution,
and of civil government to the American people.
2. Amnesty for all past political offences and
the regulation of the elective franchise in the
States by their Citizens
The first demand is already complied
with, except in three States, whose return
to the Union is retarded by their own
fault. The first part of the second de-
mand has already been very generally
granted, and the second part is the enun-
citation Of principle the justice Of which
the Republican Convention acknowledged
in its application to the loyal States, but
which the necessities of the case required
them, as the constitutional authority given
by the result of the war enabled them, to
set aside in the rebel States. The Repub-
lican platform, on the other hand, adopts
the policy which is rapidly bringing back
the truant States, and welcomes their in
habitants, black and white into "the COM
munion of the loyal people. y Chicago

Seymour as Caesar.

From "Julius Caesar" Act /, Scene ii.
CGScG-WHY there was crown offered
him, and, being offered him, he put it by
with the back of his hand, thus; and then
the people fell a-shouting.
Brttus-What was the second noise for ?
Casca-Why, for that, too.
Cass5us-They shouted thrice. What
was the last cry for?
Odsca-Why, for that, too
BrutuS-Was the crown offered him
thrice? =
Casca-Ay, marry, vast, and he put it
by thrice, eoery time geat1er than 0tgea /;
and at every putting by mine honest
neighbors shouted.
Cassius-Who offered him the crown?
Cdsca-Why, Antony.
Brutus-Tell us the manner Of it, gentle
Casca.
Cosea-I can as well be hanged as tell
the manner of it; 1t aoas merely Jo0leqy !: I
did not mark 1T. I saw Mark Antony offer
him a crown; yet it was not crown
neither; twas one of these coronets; and
as told you, he put it by once; but for
all that, to my thinking, lie aoOuld .fain
haze had 1t. Then he offered it to him
again; but, to my thinking, he aoaS 0ery
10th to lag has fingers off 1t. And then he
offered it the third time; he put it the
third time by; and still, as he refused it,
the rabblemen shouted, and clapped their
chapped hands, and threw up their sweaty
night-caps, and uttered such a deal Of
stinking breath, because Caesar had re-
fused the crown, and that it had almost
choked Caesar; for he swooned, and fell
down at it. And, for mine own part, I
burst not laugh, for fear of opening mine
lips and receiving the bad air.
CdssiWs-But, soft, / pray you What
did Caesar swoon?
Casca-He fell down in the market
place, and foamed at mouth, and was
speechless.
Brutus-'Tis very like he hath tile fall
ing Sickness
Cttssius-No, Caesar hath it not but you
and /, and honest Casca, we have the fall
ing sickness
CaSca-I know not what you mean by
that; but am sure, Caesar fell down. If
the tagrag people did not clap him, and
hiss him, according as he pleased, and
displeased them, as they used to do the
players in the theatre, am no true man.

- LET us have peace - is the cry Of the millions
Who fought for the starry -gemmed flag Of the
free
Tis the prayer of the hero, the song of civilians,
That rolls from the mountains far down to the
sea.
The nation that rocked in the tempest and gloom,
And drifted in doubt to be wrecked on the
The storm has outlived, and the thunders that
Are voices that prophesy tempest no more.
''Let us have peace p is the sigh of the lowly,
That walk in the vale where the cypress is seen,
Who mourn their departed with tenderness holy,
And kneel where the graves are perennially
And where the " Unknown, y in their silence are
sleeping,
The feet of the angels are pressing the sod,
And vespers of harmony round them are keeping,
While martyrs Of freedom have gone to their
God.
& Let us have Peace p the evangel of Labor,
Where toilers implorngly lift up their hands,
Col wipe off the stains from the death dealing
Saber,
And build the bright altar of hope for all
Lo! radiant from darkness the temple in glory
Throws wide to the world the broad aisles of the
fame:
And freemen shall toll, as they utter the story,
And children repeat to the ages again.
"I.et us have peace ~ is the chorus ascending
From hamlets that lie mid the pine-covered
hills,
And like glad anthem in unison blending,
Floats on till the plain with its melody thrills;
And rivers that roll TO the land of the West,
And prairies that wake to the hymn of the free,
With millions of freemen imploring for rest,
Swell psalms of rejoicing while bending the
knee.
''Let us have Peace p from the wars wild COM
motion,
The trumpet's alarms. and the crash of the field,
And let the new bliss, like the billows of ocean,
Roll over the land where the hero has kneeled;
The smoke of the battle has swept from the sky,
The thunders have ceased, and the bugle's wild
blast;
The chains have been rivenl and loud from on
high
The reveille calls to the love Of the Past!
6 LET US HAVE PEAcE!'' in holy thanksgiving,
The Hero-voice cries, in the name of the LORD
For the sake of the dead for the sake of the
ivingl
Turn spears into pruning -hooks-to plowshares
the sword
And out of the darkness shall come forth the
beaming
OF Glorys bright sun where the foemen have
trod,
And Freedom shall teach, with truth all-redeem-
ing,
That PEACE WITH OUR BROTHER IS PEACE WITH
OUR GOD
NEW YORK, June 27, 1868.
Dodgeville chronicle. [volume] (Dodgeville, Wis.) 1862-current, 1868-07-24

Four years ago people were greatly
amused by finding the Democratic plat
form-Which declared the war failure,
and demanded an immediate cessation
of hostilities-printed in many of the
country papers on the same page with
reports of the capture of Atlanta by Sher-
man.
The year before that Mr. Seymour, OF
this State, distinguished himself by dol
orous Fourth of July oration in this city,
in which he warned his hearers that we
could not afford to carry on the war any
longer, that we could never beat the rebels.
But while he was speaking Vicksburg was
surrendered to Grant, and Lee was begin
ming to fly from Meade at Gettysburg; and
Seymour's speech was accompanied in the
next days papers with gloss most unwel-
come to him and those who thought with
him.
A number Of experiences Of this kind
ought to have warned the Democratic
leaders not to attempt prophecy. Their
strength does not lie in that direction
events appear to have spite against them.
1t would be difficult to imagine anything
more inappropriate than General Sher-
mans capture of Atlanta just after the
Democrat Convention had solemnly de-
clared the war a failure, and demanded
immediate cessation of hostilities. But
the circumstances under which the Demo
cratic platform appears this morning are
not more fortunate.
The platform denounces the Freedman's
Bureau and demands its abolition; but
Congress had already passed an act dis
continuing the Bureau, which became a
law yesterday; and General Howard gives
notice in the same papers in which the
Democratic platform is printed, that the
Bureau has ceased in South Carolina, and
that he is rapidly winding up its affairs in
the other States.
We read in the platform demand for
the immediate restoration of all the States
and turning from this passage to another
column of the papers, read that while all
are restored but four, South Carolina, Vir-
ginia, MississippiandT Texas, South Carolina
has Just adopted the amendment, and will
doubtless be represented in Congress with
in the week. But we read also in the plat
form that the acts of reconstruction are
"void," which means that the Democrats,
if they succeed, will at once destroy all
that has been done, and put us back again
to 1865. This is a promise which will
hardly delight a people who have grown
tired of the long reconstruction squabble.
To reopen this question now settled in
all but three States, would be calamity
to the country-but that is what the plat
form threatens.-N T. Post.

CONG no SLEEP.
BY EMILY HUNTINGTON MILLER.


CONE hither. my baby, my dating,
Ny lily, my wonderful rose
The while boson4ed flowers in the garden
Begin their soft petals to close;
The bees have gone home from the clover,
Tle swallows are under the caves,
Anddown in the orchard, the robin
BroodsoYer her nest in the leaves.
Come baby-my beauty, nay darling!
Your eyes they are heavy with sleep;
Your little red mouth has grown silent,
And scarcely its laughter can keep;
Lay off the white robe from your shoulders,
Unclasp the small shoes from your feet
o, daiutiest blossom of Eden,
kiss you, my lily, my sweet.
Do you feel the cool wind coming softly,
And see the young moon in the sky?
The clouds sailing over the sunset,
The bats fitting silently by?
Do you hear how the cattle are lowing
Along the green lane by the hill?
Aud the brook running over the pebbles,
With music that never is still?
Now huslfi while sing to you, baby,
A song of the angels above,
That come on invisible pinions
To watch DER the children they love.
SO all through your beautiful dreaming
The voice of your mother shall creep,
Lest, hearing the harpings celestial,
Your soul should fly homeward in sleep!
