The New York Tribune SAYS :

Immediately after the adjournment
ofthe Democratic Convention, meet
Ing of the Executive Committee of
the Central Chase Association was
held at the rooms of DIR. A. w. Hall,
20S Broadway, and it was resolved
to present the followcng resolution
to the next meeting of the Associa-
ton:
Whereas, The Central Chase As
sociation, composed of conservative
Democrats and Republicans, who
we're displeased with the radical ten
denotes OF the Republican party, and
the Copperhead affiliations of the
Democracy, and who hoped that the
leaders of the Fourth of July Con-
vention would rise superior to the
old and effete policies Of the party,
and would nominate a statesman in
accordance with the existing and ac-
complished political facts; having
had that illusion dispelled by the
adoption of reputation platform
and the nomination of consistent
opponent of the war and Its results
do
Resolve To recommend the indorse
ment of Gen. u. S. Grant for Presi
dent and Schuyler Colfax for Vice
President of the United States by thu
Central Chase Club, believing thai
they more truly represent the views
of majority Of the loyal citizens o
the United States than the nominee:

Constitutional Differences.

Constitutional Differences.
There are many coonstitutins so
inherently defective in energy as to
derive great benefit from a moderate
use of pure liquor combined with
such vegetable medicines and ex-
tracts as enter into the composition
of RCback's Stomach Bitters, and
there are many situations in which
even the healthlest derive additional
security from their occasional use.
If healthy persons are exposed to
unusual and continued exertion in
confined air, or under the heat OF the
sun, or to the influence of depressing
watchfulness by travelling, and change
of diet and water, or if residents of
malafious districts or the rank river
bottoms of the West and South, there
can be no doubt but careful use of
Robaek's Stomach Baters with the

RIMS BEHIND.

When VIM. II. Seward heard oil
the nomination of the Democracy fol
President, he said that Seymour
"always had the faculty of running
behind his ticket" The remark was
truthful, but comes with bad grace
from a man who wishes the Demo
cratic party to meet with success.
An exchange gives the following
figures, showing that Stewards state
ment regarding Seymour's ability to
run behind his ticket was correct.
In 1850 he ran for Governor OF
New York with Sanford E. Church
on the ticket for Lieutenant Cover
nor; Seymour received 214,352,
while his competitor, Hunt, got 2l4,
GA, and was elected. Church ran
3,64S ahead Of Seymour and was
elected.
Again in 1852, Seymour and
Church were on the ticket as before,
and the latter got 1000 more votes
than the former.
He "always had the faculty OF
running behind his ticket"

The Regatta Season.

Almost simultaneously with the
opening of fashionable navigation .
by the New York Yacht Club, and
the Inauguration of the new club
house on Staten Island, Lorillard has
introduced his Yacht Club Smoking
Tobacco and Yacht Club Pipe. Both
are specialities-the tobacco being
composed of the first Virginia leaf,
deprived Of its nicotine, and the uni
que and tasteful design, representing
yacht "going large before the
wind. Mr.. Lorillard, who is a man
of original ideas, and never does
things by halves, has linked the new
brand and its elegant receptacles to-
gether in very pretty way. Orders
for the pipes are placed in different
packages of the brand daily, which
orders, ON being presented, entitled
the lucky holders to a pipe each.
The demand for Yacht Club Tobac-
co is already immense, and it is an
article of extraordinary merit, and
can be smoked withoutinconvenience
by persons who can use no other
kind, it bids fair to riv al in popularity

ltured by the same time-honored
