OPINION OF Tnt PHILADELPHIA AGE.
Itiswith unbounded enthusiasm that
the Democracy receive tho nomination OF
iloratio Seymour. At any time during
the Convention ho could have stood first
on tho ballot; but strong disinolination
to public Office led him TO prefer the claims
81 others TO his own. Ills unanimous Sc
lection as Chairman of tho Convention wa,
significant OF the general preference which
has at last forced upon him the nomina-
ton for the Presidency. The protractcd
i ballotiug caused by Withholding Of hi
name proved that il alone could command
unanimous assent The Convention, n
last, literally carried their candidate BY
storm. This is indeed a case where th,
office seeks the man, aud not the man th,
Office.
1t is to bis great abilities, TO his pur,
and lofty character, that lloratio Seymour
sowes this peculiar aud Unprecedented
honor. lie has not been allowed 10 deny
himself TO the services of his country, a
this juncture, because in him Is recognized
the special ability now demanded for hei
service.
1t has been intimated that the Demo-
cratic Convention would no doubt step be
you'd late party lines in It's present nomi'
nations. The largo influx of the pures
and most eminent men of the late Repub
lican party, who shaking the dust from
of their feet, have adjurcd the compan,
of the proAigate and revolutionary Radi
Gals, seemed TO merit distinct aud cordia
welcome from the Democracy. 1t coul,
not have been given more appropriated,
and gracefully than in the nomination o
General Francis L. Blair for Vice Pp,si
