IhA 1 York SUI, (Radical) has the
/ failllea, "a honesty to vindicate Governor
SqSvAAwfrom one of the charges which
hug been preferred against him. 1t says:
I#sIt is voLomontly asserted that Gov
leruor Seymour obtained his nomination
through the trickery and article Of him
self and his friends, and that to secure de
was guilty Of double dealing, and the New
York delegation Of duplicity and chicane-
ry. Though a'superfcial view fthe case
might seem to warrant this assertion, we
are convinced that the real facts will not
sustain the charge.
We believe that, for reasons satisfacto-
ry to himself, some of private and some
of public nature, Mr.. Seymour had firm
ly resolved not take to the nomination..
The call of the roll went on, ana when
Ohio was reached, she gave her twenty-one
votes to Seymour, amid protractod cheer
ing, whorouiQn Mr.. Seymour, in the face
of the convention, unequivocally declined.
Immediately that eminent Democrat,
Vallandigham, of Ohio, rose, and in tones
of earnest oloquenco, put 1t to Mr.. Sey-
1hOur as duty to obey the voice of the
party. A similar appeal was made by
the Hon. Francis Herman, the delegate
from Governor Seymour's own district.
EIereupon North Carolina, (which had vot-
ed for Hendricks for the FIRST time, chang
ed for Seymour, and other States began
to follow her lead. Under this impulse,
the convention and the spectators instant
ly resolved themselves into tumutuous,
uncomfortable, shouting mob, and during
this indcscribable uproar every State went
over to Seymour.
We believe accordingly, that for salts
factory reasons, Governor Seymour did
not desire a nomination to the Presidency
at this juncture; that he didnot, plot to
obtain it; that he was sincere inedeclin-
ing it, but was coerced in ID its acceptance
by circumstances which more pefsstent
courage than he possesses iHigIiB, perhaps,
have controlled or successfully resisted"
A lady riding in car on the New
York Central Railroad was disturbed in
her reading by the conversation of two
gentlemen occupying the scat just before
her. One of them seemed to be a stu
dent Of some college, on his way home for
a vacation.
He used much profape language, great
ly to the annoyance Of the lady.
She thought shewquld rebuke him, and
