BREAKERS AHEAD.-One of our
city papers publishes the startling
predictions of Professor Delisser,
who declares that a series Ofeelestial
and terrestrial phenomena are close
at hand. He says that on the night
of Feb. ~, in the Western heavens
there will be conjunction of the
moon with Jupiter and Venus, and
three nights later Jupiter will pass
Venus by only twenty three seconds
of degree. The result of these
conjunctiOns and peIturbatiOns will
be atmospheric commotiOn, electricl
discharges, heavy gales, and high
winds, with succession, through
the remainder of the year, of the un
pleasant terrestrial agitations of
which a foretaste has. already been
granted to our West India neigh
bors. With vast foundations, vol
canic eruptions, and quakings of

In Philadelphia, on Sunday, III
Democrats held an immense mass
meeting and resolves to sustain
Andrew JohncOn, for which purpose
they would, il necessary, shoulder
their muskets. Then they resolved
that this is a white mans govern
ment. Then some excited member
moved to adjourn, meet at the rail
road depot under arms, and proceed
to Washington but instead of tax
ing a vote the meeting broke up in
confusion.
AN IMPARTIAL CRIRICISM.-The
New York Evening Post has always
opposed the tenure of Office law. but
it cannot approve Mr.. Johnson's
actions in attempting to resist it.
The Journal says:
"The President has no right to
erect his own Interpretation of the
/ Constitution into a rule for the other
branches ofthe government. When
he has vetoed a bill and it is carried
over his head, his prerogative cases.
He is as much bound to submit to
it as any other officer; and if he
does not he renders himself liable
to impeachment
POLITICAL.-A New Hampshire
correspondent of the New York Trib-
me writes: "FrOm careful obSer-
walton and conversation with many
prominent Democrats throughout
the State, / can give it as my opin-
ion that not only will the Republi-
cans gain this year, but that from
next November the election of Gen
Grant by the Union party will ere
ate new and stronger political
organization throughout the State
than has existed here for many
years"

BlnIr for Vice President.

Frank Blair will not suffice to save
Seymour. As a recognition Of the SOL
diers, his nomination is a very weak in
yention. We have no desire to decry
Blair's war record, for, though he was
II political General, he commended him
self, so far US VIC know, to the approval
of his commander, Grant. But he
comes from u family which has always
been notorious for ofice-hunting and
in this respect he is admirably adapted
to tho Democracy. Thurlow Weed said
of one of these Blairs land We do not
know but he thought the remark equally
applicable to all Of them), I" Ho was
always in everybody's mess, but in no.
body's watch" Our kind, unsuspi-
cious, long-confding Lincoln also ar.
rived at the same general opinion, aud
at last reluctantly felt himself obliged
to dismiss Montgomery Blair from his
Cabinet rs q trickster and marplot.
Governor Curtin, of Pennsylvania, de-
clared in 1866 that Lincoln said to him,
privately, " Beware Of Blair" 1t was
the Blair family which took Johnson in
after his Inauguration Sickness" and
infected him with q far worse political
ailment. To that nursing at Blair Hall,
in the suburbs of Washington, We owe
largely, without doubt, the r~ecreancy
Of his Accideucy and all tho manifold
ills which have grown out of it. On
questions pertaining to reconstruction,
Frank Blair seems to have gone with
his family from the first. Thus indivis-
IDLE in their policy, we must infer there
is a suspicious similarity in their ma
turcs; SO that we can say TO the people,
to the soldiers, and wen to Democrats,
Al Lincoln did to Curtin, " Beware Of
Blair"
Francis P. Blair, Jr., is the full name
and style Of this appendix to Seymour.
He was born 10 Kentucky in 1921, but
most Of his active life ha, been spent in
Missouri, where he was q member Of
the State Legislature in 1882 and 1854.
He was elected to Congress in 1856 and
again in 1860. Re elected in 1862, his
seat wa contested and eventually given
to another, after Blair had resigned to
accept Il Mnjor-G Generally of volunteers.
In both civil and military life no has
evidently had on eye out for the main
chance and never failed from excess of
modesty. AS long as he kept in accord
with the loyal sentiment of Missouri,
he had considerable influence there ;
but when he sought to use that in1u-
ence in restoring rebels to power, he
failed ignobly. The conciliatory, bar
style of politics does not prevail
in that State, and we judge that Blair's
nomination will add very little, if any
strength, to the Democratic ticket there
or elsewhere.

THE HEROES OF Civil LIFE.-A good

Besides this, n substantial memorial is

objects can BIO readily accomplished, il

We claim the peculiar right to extend
our sympathy to the Democracy, for we
warned them long ago Of what was u
wait for them. Last Winter, when Sey-
mour took such particular pains to de-
clare himself not a candidate, we ad.
vised the party Of his criminal inten-
tions. When Belmont insisted that tue
place Of the Convention should be New
York, and refused to hasten the time OF
meeting, we pointed out the trap Sey-
mour was setting. And few days since
it appeared to US that his preparations
we're complete and sufficient to secure
his object. Despite all these ominous
antecedents, the Democrats seemed 10
have walked into Tammany Hall as IN
nocent as lambs, not at oil anticipating
that they were TO be shorn by the wolf
ish rings and clubs which have their
centers and use their fangs in the
monied metropolis of the country.
There was an exquisite GOODNESS in Sey-
mour's affecting to struggle for the
craftsmanship Of the Convention. BY
this artiice, he completely disarmed oil
remaining suspicious, and put himself
aud friends in position to quietly await
results. The New York delegation first
put up Church, who, they knew, had no
chance. and then on the eighth ballot
through their heavy vote solid for Hen
bricks, thereby securing his friends for
Seymour, and effectually killing Pendle-
ton, who was at once deserted by North
Carolina aud Virginia, and eventually
by other States, which concentrated on
Hendricks, preparatory to going over to
Seymour. 1t does not appear that Sey-
mour's friends voted for Hancock at oil:
They were probably chary about touch
ing him, for fear Of starting a current
toward him which they could not con-
troll. Their policy was to let each of
the principal competitors reach a highly
complimentary vote, but keeping them
all far from n nomination and depend
ent upon intrigue. Accordingly, Hem
bricks got as high as l07 votes, Pendle-
ton 1901 and Hancock l443, none Of
them reachiug a majority, while Sey-
mour had taken great pains to advise
the Convention hat the two-thirds rule
meant two-thirds Of the whole Conven-
ton and not merely two-thirds Of those
voting. When affairs reached this
crisis, with three candidates, each
having nearly q third of the ballots,
neither willing to yield to the other,
Tildeu Of New York declared that " a
careful conference and consultation be-
tween the delegates was now important,"
and moved an adjournment. This was
the point at which Seymour had expect
ed to come in. Now was the time for
bargaining with and buying up the
friends Of the several competitors. He
had excited the ~jealousies Of none, con-
ciliated and 1attered them all. Now,
with the Manhattan Club at his back,
he jumped into the arena and was
recognized at once as master Of the Sit
nation .-Sacrdmento Union.

SEYMOUR. = Horatio Seymour was
born in O~nondaga county, New York,
about ffty-seven years ago, though
most of his life be had been n citizen of
Oneida county. His father was a friend
of Dewitt Clinton, and one of the
builders of the Eric Canal, and left him
q competence. He was educated ut
West Point, but had no taste for a mill.
tary career, and never entered the
service. He studied law and was ad-
mitted to practice, but although he
showed great capacity in the profession,
his feeble health induced him to live
o rather quiet, retired life, and even
to embark in agricultural pursuits.
Although he always took great interest
in politics, and was influential and pop
ular rs u Democratic partisan, he has
never been very anxious for Office.
Before his first election as Governor of
New York, in 1852, he had been several
terms n member of the Legislature and
once Speaker of the Assembly. In 1850
he was beaten for the G~overnorship by
Washington Hunt and after his term
in 1852, he was beaten by Clark on &C.
count Of his veto Of the Main Liquor
Law. In 1862, he was elected Governor
a second time, and was renominated for
the place, but beaten by Gov. Fenton.-

Ma. CHASE, in his extreme anxiety to
narrow the aistanra hAtwsan himself
and the Democratic party, is guilty of
occasional indulgence in absurdity.
With reference to his contemplated ad-
mission to that organization, he says
az feel like a man who has been travel
ing in foreign countries, improving his
view Of society, returned once more to
the original fold. The Democratic par
ty has got round very nearly to the
point where I left it." The virtue Of
this latter statement lies in its approIi-
nation to truth. The Democratic party
has not "come round at all, but is
precisely where it has always been. 1t is
in its old position as the enemy Of pro-
gress, universal equality, liberty and en-
lightenment. Tho doctrine it now
holds respecting the right Of the white
man to Cypress and euslave men of
another color, it always held. If Chief
Justice Chase means that his "improved
view" enables him { o see additional
virtue in these theories, then bis expe-
rience in Republican "society'' has had
an unnatural and extraordinary effect
upon him. Certainly the noble high
way, on which the Republican party
has been travelling, leads to no such
conclusion. Its course is toward the
light it leads its pilgrims up to serener
and purer nights of liberty, fraternity
and equality. Chief Justice Chase, in
returning to the Democratic party in
its present organization, can find moth
ing but blind, stupid bigotry, pride of
class, and a system which has for its
leading principle appeal to prejudice
aud excitement of jealousy and hatred
between the white and black races.
