The Boston Trdrciicr says; Our correspond
cnt at Concord, ". H., sends us the following
/ n rere renee TO political matters In that state
first describing the recent Democratic ratifea-
ton meeting Ia that city, OF which he says:
"Neariy half of the hearers were Republicans,
and the Democrats present were not warmed
up to ordinary ratification heat, The truth
OF the matter IL thist The young men are
nearly all nrrayins themselves upon the RE-
publican side In the passing Presidential con-
test, while the old men OF the party hsve lost
shall have but little Political excitement in
this state until about the middle OF Septem-
Der, as we fought our great battle last winter,
and as the Republicans are sure Of carrying
an increased majority over the vote OF March
last. As soon as the State election In Maine
occurs, on the 18th OF next September, New
Hampshire will arouse and the next seven
weeks will be stirring weeks In the Granite
state. Ex-President Pierce Wall not address
meetings any more, think, as hts influence
does not benefit, In this State, the cause he
may aivocate.n
We copy the following from the Albany
Evening Journal! "rhe Democrats OF Cincin-
natl held a ratification meeting last night.
About 10000 persons were preSsent, ann great a
dleton, George II. Pugh, and other speakers
addressed the meeting. Mr.. Pendleton spoke
at length on his financial theory, stating that
Seymour and Blair are pledged to 1t. lie en-
dorsed Seymour In very strong language. Mr..
Pugh said that the Democratic party demand
ed that the national banks be abolished and
clared that there could be no peace in the
country until radical rule is over. Resolu.
lions were adopted ratifying the action OF the
national convention, declaring, first: That the
platform embodIes the wiscst doctrine, which,
II carried out, will give peace to the country
and relieve our oppressed people OF many bur
dens Of taxstionj second! that the candidates
command the admiration OF the Democratic
party; third: that they approve the course OF
the Ohio delegates In presenting the name Of
Seymour after It was clear Pendleton could
not be nominated.
A wnrTcR in a acknowledging Democratic
paper at the West, says: ~ will venture to
say that not merely IN Cine innati but through.
out Ohio, not In Ohio only, but everywhere
west OF the mountains, the coulness with
which the news Of the nomination OF Mr..
Seymour was received by the members OF his
party has no parallel in American political
history. There are very few who are not moro
than dissatisfied; they are disgusted with the
candidate; disgusted with the pal pable trickery
of himself and his supporters IN New York.
Disguised with the rampant stupidity of the
Democratic leaders OF ohio, whose folly came
In as the appropriate eomplimen. to the others
knsvcry.''
THE New York "ua says: awe happen to
know that an influential Democrat, who CON
trolls one OF our large " all-streCt banks, has
bought heavily Of gold within ninety days
past, apparently In anticipation Of the rise &c
| be occasioned by the agitation of the subject
OF reputation, and we presume there are many
more OF the same way OF thinking. Whatever
may be the effect at the West, 1t must be ad
mitted that the Democratic convention greatly
injured the party AZ the Est by re ayowal o.
purpose to pay the national debt in legs
| tender notes.
The Mobile Tribune makes a significant ex
| hihtion of the Democratic spirit in that sec
tion. 1t says that In the event Of Congress at
tempting to carry out the reconstruction laws
| In respect to the Presidential election, "th'
great Democratic party will rise In Its nigh
and majesty, and pulyerize and purge The Con
gress, just as Cromwell purged the long Par
lament" 1t further says, "the signs OF tn
times are pregnant with resistance to Radica
tyranny, and the dagger OF Brutus may aid IL
| accomplishing our redemption from Radica
rule, ruin, and usurpation."
TnE Maine Standard (Democratic) makes tn
following significant apology: "But suppos
he (Horatio SEYMOUR had sympHthiked win
| the rebellion, what thenl Would II follow
that because he was wrong In one Instance h,
| must be wrong on the new and living Issues o
the hourl The rebellion is ended and til,
question for common sense people is not VIII

Ex-GovERSoR PERRY, OF South Carolina
has been making Democratic ratification
ferred to the famous letter written by Genera
| Blair on the eve Of the convention, the audi

united in an enthusiastic expression Of com
incubation of the principles therein ex

The Republicans Of Missouri, through thei

obligations, as proposed by the Democrat
convention, as rutnOus to the credit and ma

A NEW YoRK State Convention OF colorct

pairing 1t with greenback, which he called
Republican rag" Why doesn't he do 1t now
WHEN Frank Blair proposes to resist the a.
cession of a Republican candidate TO the Pre-
idency by violent means, he probably forget
that majority OF his supporters are under pi
role not to bear arms against Gen. Grant.
