to WOO the irrepressible BRICK into the
Radical embrace. Having quoted him
and praised him until bald fattery
became sickening adulation, our neigh
Dor will find some little effort neces-
sary to swallow the annexed from the
La Crosse Democrat on the nominees.
Let him publish this:
SEYMOUR AND BLAIR.
We place at the head of cur columns
to-day the names of Horatio Seymour,
of New York, and Frank Z. Blair, Jr.,
of Missouri, who were nominated to the
offices of President and Vice President,
by the National Democratic Convention,
which assembled in the city of New
York, OH Independence day, 1865.
Tho names of Seymour aud Blair, rep
resenting, as they will upon the plat
form of the convention, the earnest
sentiments of the people of the country,
will awaken that enthusiasm in the
great Democratic heart that needed but
a touch to fire it.
We had felt that Mr.. PendletolI, who
had brought forth the issue that was
destined to be one of the leading planks
in the platform, would have been the
man to lead il to successful establish
mcnt, and the young and vigorous De-
mocracy To n glorious and permanent
triumph! But We were net so settled
in that belief that we could not support
any Democratic statesman who might
be nominated upon that platform.
"PriRcipia, NON h0mines."
| This has ever been our mOttO-the
sure gude-post to victory. Acting un-
der lis inspiration, and under the glori-
ous banner of the people, and upon
their platform, we earnestly aud deter
minedly shall support the nomination
Of Horatio Seymour and of Frank +.
Blair, and with the gallant Democracy
of the country, will march in solid pha-
lanX to victory, with the battle cry:
The Union Restored!
The Rights Of States!
LgUdl tdrdtion: no bOndh0lder's cremp-
ton!
One currency for the rish and The poor
Retrcnchment and economy in the admin
istrdtion Of the Government!
Also the following, in which BRICK
tells the people what he will do for tie
ticket:
THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS.
"Uhat piH re do" Support the tick

and confident of success. And it will
he elected. PendletOn was our choice,
for we knew his great strength and pop
ularity with the people, and knew that
he had brain, pluck, and endurance;
that if elected lie would fight before
giving up single right. Next to Pen.
diet On, Seymour is the strongest man.
The former would run best in the West,
the latter in the East, but either man
can carry the same States, and rejoice
owe the aggregate electoral vote.
New York politicians did not want
Seymour. They did want Chase, and
on that we fought them. We would
not support him-We should in the
event of his nomination by that COnven
ton, have opposed him and with 9th
ers, have placed Democratic candidate
before the people.
The bonaholders could not use Sey-
mour as they wished. He refused to be
| a party to the enslavenent of the peo-
pie for the support Of bondholders.
The wire workers of New York threw
him by, and sought to force Chase upon
the Democracy. After a fair and square
fight, Pendleton was defeated, through
the cowardice of some of his professed
friends, and the venality Of others. 1t
was a very pretty game, in which the
West gained more than it lost. We

platform of principle-relief from the
tax gatherer, equal taxation and the
right of States to settle their own affairs
in their own way. For these principles
we have long contended. The Conven-
ton adopted them; Mr.. Seymour and
Mr.. Blair, two strong, earnest
men, popular and worthy men, stand
fair and square upon that
principle. They are with the people.
All parts of the country are satisfied,
and the ticket is strong one. Envious
and Jealous Democrats in the East and
West who would have opposed Pendle-
ton will work for Seymour. The people
demanded the platform adopted. The
election of Seymour and Blair will be a
victory for principle therein enunciated,
and the great object in view will be
accomplished. We lay aside all prefer
ence for person, and with the same en-
ergy and earnestness always shown by
us in advocating the cause of the peo
pie, shall work for the election of our
candidates, that the principles for which
We so long havefpught shall triumph
and the country be restored to heI
former quietude and prosperity.
And we call upon all our friends, the
tax ridden people everywhere, to help
us in the great work, and once again
will the right triumph.
