not then received the nomination
without gloves. As the Democrat, edit
cd by the notorious Brick Pomeroyi is
a power in the Democratic party, hav-
ing the largest circulation of any DEM
ocratic newspaper, 1t Is of interest TO
know what 1t thinks of the Democratic
candidates. Lest the Register, anxious
as we know it Is to reproduce this ar
tlcIe, Just now peculiarly interesting
and apropos, should not be able to lay
hands on copy, we furnish one TO its

HoRATIo SEYMOUR.
We notice that Governor Seymour
| made a speech in New York City on
| the 25th ofJune, in which, the telegraph
saws, he "proceeded TO reiteraIe his
views formerly expressed on the finan.
oial question:" What those Views are.
as contained in his Albany speech, our
readers are fully fnfoImed-precisely
those affirmed by the Jacobins at their
Chicago COnvention-gold for the bond
holders-rags for the people.
II is we'll known that Governor Sey-
mour ia opposed to touching the finan-
cIal O uestion-wants TO leave 1t to stand
as it is, all in favor of the bopdholders,
and against the people-gold, and no
taxes 10 pay for the former, and rags,
aud all the taxes to pay for the latter.
With characteristic sophistry, he says
| that "our debt is not due until fifteen
years from this time" Therefore he
saws its present discussion is useless
It is not practical question.
Ofthe fearful consequences oil follow
I ing Gov. Seymour's advice we have
heretofore expressed our views, and we
now repeat them, on the eve of the
great event which is TO determine the

Gov. Seymour is trying to put the
public mind asleep on the bond ques-
lion, and leave the PLowHoLDERs to
sweat, and stagger, and starve under
the load OF taxation, TO pay the bond.

telling the country that the financial

FRANK p. BLAIR, OLD BLAIR, AND THE
:. BLAIRs GENERALLY.
It is reported that Montgomery Blair
saws that none of the candidates now
prominently named will receive the
Democratic nomination at New YORK,
and that the party can only be united
by bringing forward new man.-Er-
change.
Such stuff as the above is more than
Democratic nature can bear. To have
one of that pestilent Blair family talk.
ing thus oracularly about the affairs OF
the Democratic party is the most inn
pudent thing Of the day.
What have the Blairs in common
with the Democratic party? Old Blair
has been virulently working against II,

for more than twenty years, and dur
