MIR NASBY HOLDS A CONBULTATlDN WITH
DIVERS AND sUNDRY LEADERS OF THE
DBMocRACY--THE LETTERs THEY RE
cEIvED AND THE CONCLUSIONS THEY DID
NOT ARRIVE AT.
Moo YORK, (wIcH is THE CITADEL,l
Nv DtMoCRACI,)
wUz called To Moo York suddintly to
act ez wat mite be called a consulter, the
more properly and exactly speekin, cor
oner's iOory, on the body of the Dimoc-
risy Nv this onct peeceful but now terribly
distracted country. We met by mite with
closed doors (suthin like four or FIVE NV us)
and we were not ez cheerful orgsnizashun
ez have seen. In silence we drank our
whisky--in silence we smoked our cigars
in silence our heads wuz bowed. Final
ly, the cheerman NV thee meetin-he who
he'd called us-riz and remarkt that 1t he'd
been evident to him for some months that
the Democratic ship wuz in troubled wa
tiers. The seas wuz rough; the clouds
wuz lowerin the thunders wuz terrible /;
the litenins wuz peercin; and the ola ship
mot 30 stauuch as she wunst wuZ, he'd
sprung leak and wuz barely keepin her
self above water. Bad pilotin he'd driven
her upon several rocks, Vermont, Maine,
Ohio, PennsylVany, Injeanny and West Vir-
ginny, and 1t wuz plain to the most OBJ.
toose observer that suthin must be did, or
she wood go down in November with all
on board There wuz Jonah somewher
In the ship witch must be thrown overheard
| The original Jonah he'd a whale pre-
pared for his recepshen; he hoped our
Jonah would find sich one, but over
board he must go, whale or no whale.
That he mite with some degree Nv accu-
racy determine jest who wuz that Jonah,
he he'd addresst to the principle members
NV the -confldenshul letters-askin
ther views Them letters he'd bin ansered
and he wood read their answers. The
first wuz from Horatio Seymore, our
gallant standard bearer, and red ez fol-
lows:
UTICA, N. Y, Oct. 20, 1868.
SIR II accepted the nominashen unwil-
| linly, ,.ez the fact that wuz perpetooally
bathed in teers suf1shently attests.
shood not hev labored so despritly for it,
tho, he'd I known that my esteemed col
| league Blare wuz to heV bin put upon the
| tikkit with me. He hezn't character enutf
! The fact is he is weakness itself He
hezn't got the discreshun onto wich pride
myself; he isn't honist and, wat is more,
he heZn't the fakulty Nv maxim people
bleeve that he is honist, wich wood do ez
well he hezn't got the gentlemanly car
akteristiks wich is 80 necessary to candi-
dacy, for high posishuns, and he writ the
Brodhed letter. With teers blottin the
! paper onto witch i write, am forced to
| assert that Ginral Blare is the Jonah Nv
the Democratic ship, and he must be
thrown overheard to still the waves.
Shood this be done, and shood it save the
ship, will be his whale. He kin rattle
around in me till vomit him ashore on
some high and dry spot. Blare must be
thrown overheard to strengthen the party.
God bless you. HoRAsHo SEYNoRB.
The next wuz from Ginrel Blare:
| H'a ST. LOUIS, Oct. 20, 1S88
Sm:-I agree with 700 that suthin must
be did, The prospect isn't encouragin by
no means. Seymore is the Jonah in the
Dimocratic ship and he must be thrOwed
overheard to save it. Shood this be done,
and shood we thereby succeed, will be
his whale. A respectable furrin mshun
wich wood require respectability without
ability--wich is to say department with
out brains-cood be pervided for him
But overheard Seymore must 60 10
strengthen the ticket.
FRANK p. BLARE.
The next wuz from Hon. John Morri,
sey: -rs
SIR The nominashun NV Seymore &
Blare wuz bad GO The til1it hez NO
strength, and am NOT riskin dollar on
! 1t. Withdraw EN- both-put new horses
on the track, and even at this late day let
us go in to win. Seymore & Blare musi
be thrown overheard that we may hev q
strong tickit Should we succeed, will
yoose my inHoounce to give em both
places in the Moo York Custom House.
But overheard they must both go.

Then we opened one from his Excel.
lency, A., johnson: E1 RI
SIR;-It is my candid opinion, land ]
hev never been mistaken) that the Consti-
tooshen which | hey vainly attempted to
save is in danger; so much 80 that II is
probably now out NV my power to dc
anything for il. II IL clser to me that
Seymore shood withdraw to strengthen
the tickit but his withdrawal will moi
save it from defeat, ez l hav determined
not to permit my name to be yoozed fol
the place under any circumstances. HeG
bin NOMINATED at the beginnin, with 8
proper man ez second, say Chase for In
stance, this terrible trouble wood not now
be onto u.s. But 1t is ez il is. May Heaven
protect the Constitooshen. It wood bt
well to withdraw Seymore.
Yoors for the Constitooshen, ..
A. JOHNSON.
Cheef Justis Chase writ ez follows:
SIR II attempted to lift the DimocratiC
Iparty up inch or two, bein willin mysel
TO go down a mile to accomplish it. Bu

insulted me with half votes. Therefore
hev no sympathy with the organizashen
Nv coars Seymour is dead weight, and
ef may be allowed to yoOse a phrase Dor
rered from my assoshiates nv last summer
Blare is dead beat, and it wood be wei
to withdraw EN- both but it's too late L

to be yoosed under any circumstances
BY all means withdraw Seymour & Blar,
