New York City showed her appreciation
of Governor Seymour q successful efforts III
quelling, without the aid of the militia, the
most formidable riot ever seen in this
country, by giving him, at the next cleo
ton, much larger majority than she had
ever given any candidate for Governor De-
fore. So much for the Riots Islander.
HIS COURSE ON THE DRAFT.
AS 70 Gov. Seymour being opposed to the
consumption ordered by the Federal Gov
ply opposed to policy that imposed upon
the Democratic sections of his State, double
the burdens that it did upon the Republican
regions. And as Governor he was in duty
bound to get, fpossible the quota equalized.
And in this, he was after much effort, sue
cessful.
HE Is SUSTAINED By THE REPUBLICAN LIZ
GIsLATUnE OF NEW YORK.
And, for thus faithfully performing his
duty, the New York Legislature, largely
Republican, after the heat aud passions
OF the hour were over, unanimously passed
April 10th, 1864, the following resolutions:
Resolved, That the thanks of this House
be, and are hereby, rendered to His Excel
lency, Governor Seymour, for calling the
attention of the General Government at
Washington to the errors in the apportion-
ment of the quota Of this State, under the
enrolment act OF March Sd, 1868, and for
mis- prompt and efficient efforts in procur-
ing correction of the same.
Resolred, That the Clerk Of this House
transmit to the Governor copy OF this re-
port and resolutions.
HORATIO SEYMOUR ENDORSED BY THE UNION
GENERALS.
In conclusion, if Horatio Seymour's war
record needed any further endorsement, il
could be found in the fact that such we'll
known Major Generals as Hancock, Rose
Grams, Franklin, McClernard, Siegel Slo-
cum, Steadman, Ewing, McCook, Single
ton, Custer, Kosseau and other distinguished
Union officers are giving him in this cam
paign an earnest support. They know for
what they fought. 1t was not for negro suf-
iraSe or military despotisms at the South, but
for the Constitution they love and Union
they cherish. Hence they prefer and will
have, as their next President, not mill
tary chieftain, whose boast is that he will
have no policy Of his own, but patriot
statesman, who is able and anxious to
restore to every State in our Union the
blessings OF PEACE, fraternal affection and
good government.

FRANCIS P. BLAIR.

This gallant soldier and distinguished
statesman has been nominated for the
Vice Presidency by the National Democratic
Convention. He was born in Lexington,
kentucky, in 1921, and is now in the forty
eighth year Of his age. He graduated at
Princeton College, with high honors,
and removed to st. Louis, Missouri,
where lie commenced the study of law with
his distinguished brother, Hon. Montgom-
cry Blair, who was one Of Mr.. Lincoln's
Cabinet He made rapid strides in his
profession, but in his twenty-fifth year his
health failed Linn, and he was advised to
make trip to the Rocky Mountains, which
he did, in company with party of trappers.
ENL1sTs IN THE MEXICAN WAR,
The journey fully restored his health.
sojourning in New Mexico, the Mexican
war broke out. Young Blair, on hearing
the news, at once enlisted, joining the
forces OF kearny and the gallant Doniphan:
served as private till 1S47, when he re-
turned to st. Louis, and resumed the prac-
tice of his profession. in which lie is dis
tinguished. In 1913, like his father, Fran
els p. Blair, ST., lie gave his support to the
Free Soil party, and, in speech delivered
at the Court House in st. Louis, contcnded
against tho introduction OF slavery into the
Territories of the nation. In 1852 he YVES
elected from St Louis County, Missouri,
to the Legislature as an avowed Free
Soller, and he was reelected in 1854.
though Thomas H. Benton, the Copcpess
ional candidate of the Free Sellers. was
beaten.
IS ELECTED TO CONGRESS-,
In the year 1856 Mr.. Blair was returned TO
Congress from the st. Louis District. over
Mr. kennett, who had defeated Colonel
Benton two years before. In 1857 he de-
livered an elaborate speech in the House of
Representatives in favor of colonizing the
black population of the United States in
Central America. Mr.. Blair was also an
editor and writer on the Missouri Demo.
G'at ut ono time. The father of Frank
Blair was firm and fast friend of Andrew
jackson; the General when child was
won't to play on the knees of Andrew Jack
son Ill the White House. His father was at
that time editor Of the Globe. in Washing

seat IN Congress Of Mr.DaI,ots, s.p,n the 50

By TELEGRAPH FROM WASHINGTON,

:" To Adjutant General Sprague:
The President directs me to return his
thanks to his Excellency, Governor Sey-
mour, and his Staff, for their energetic and
prompt action. Whether any further force
is likely to be required will be communi.
Gated to you to morrow, by which time it is
expected that the movement of the enemy
will be more fully developed.

No sooner had the city been thus strip
ped Of all her local troops, than Secre-
tary Stanton commenced to enforce the
CONSUMPTION laws, which were very odious
to the laboring classes; doubly so, from the
fact that excessive burdens had been laid
upon New York, she having to furnish one
out of every three Of her able-bodied men :
while in the country districts, only one
man out OF seven, on an average had to he
drawn. A few weeks delay could have
made no difference to the Government, es-
pecially as the militia regiments, which had
already been sent to the front, were re-
Sarded as temporary substitutes FOR drafted
men.
1t was madness to select such moment for
enforcing the draft. Justice, prudence, fair
ness, gratitude and common sense all forbade
this rash experiment on the infiammablo
temper of the multitude when their pas
sions were 80 combustible and the means of
repression hal been generously given away
at the urgent call Of the Government.
The riots being thus wantonly brought on
by the Republican Administration, what
part did Governor Seymour act in their
suppression? On the next day after their
outbreak he fastened to the city. On his
arrival he found raging. surgibg mob
thronging the City Hall Park, and the first
thing he did was to make them a speech,
dissuading them from violence. lie got
their attention much in the same way that
Archbishop Hughes, two or three days
afterwards, got their attention for similar
purpose-by making his approaches in
friendly, persuasive tone. It was the
method which would have been adopted by
any man of tact and good sense who did
not deliberately intend to lash the mob into
ungovernable fury.
The philanthropist when he visits in his
cell even the greatest criminal, does not, if
he would get his attention, denounce him
as cut-throat or scoundrei but in words
of friendly interest. Had Governor
Seymour addressed the mob before him
with bitter words or severe condemna-
ton, he would have probably lost his life,
and the city been laid in ashes.
GOVERNOR SEYMOUR's ADDRESS TO THE MOB.
He said, in substance, my friends gopea-
ceably your homes, and l will send my Ad-
jutant General to Washington and either get
the draft postponed, or have its most unjust
inequalities removed" That speech had
it's desired effect. From the hour it was
delivered the rioters commenced to dispcrse
gradually and By the next day peace and
order were restored Mr.. Lincoln, in his
inaugural speech, addressing the people of
those States that had seeded and were in
arms against the Union, said, "my coun-
trymen, we are not enemies but FRIENDS"

God in costume which makes the act of
devotion in the service seem almost
:burlesque. When bsisk little creature
comes intoa pew with her hair frizzed
till it stands on ends in a most startling
manner, rattling strings of beads and
bits of tinsel, she may look exceedingly
pretty and .piqaante; and if she came
there for game of croquet or q tableau-
