express his regret that his name hat
been presented, but in question affect
ing his duty and honor he must stant
by his opinion against the world. H,
could not be nominated without put
ting himself and the Democratic party
in peril. When he declined the nomi
nation he meant it. He paid an clio
quent tribute to Pendleton and hi
magnanimity, and in closing, said
Thanking the Convention, your can

several delegates to follow that lead.

movement of Ohio. They had heard
something of il hut declined to take any
part in il out of regard for the proper
sensitiveness Of the President of the
Convention, until other States should
show by their action that Mr.. Seymour
was demanded by the party in conven
ton. He urged the necessity of success
i'll the campaign and expressed his opin
ion that Mr.. Seymour could now accept
the Judgment of the Convention with

him as u candidate New York was good
