When Ohio was called, McCOok, by
unanimous direction of his delega-
ton and with the assent and approval
of every public man in that State, in
cluding Pendleton, wished to put in
nomination, against his inclination,
but no longer against his honor, the
name of the Hon. Horatio Seymour.
Let US vote for man who the Presl-
dency has sought, and who has not
sought the Presidency. This he be-
lieved would drive from power the
radical cabal at Washington. He be-
lieved this nomination would COM
mand the unanimous approval OF
the Democrats aud conservative men
of all sections. He asked On behalf
of the country that Seymour should
yield to the wishes or the Convention.

mour. Renewed cheering.
GENTLE PERSUASION.
Governor Seymour rose and said :
The motion just made by the gentle
man from Ohio excites in my mind the
most mingled emotion. Applause. ]
L have not terms in which to express
my gratitude for the generosity of
this Convention. Cheers. l have no
terms In which to tell Of my regret
that my name has been brought be-
fore this Convention. God knows
my life; and all | value most in life
L would give for the good of my coun-
try, which / believe to be identical
with my own. [Applause, and cries
of Take the nomination, then" Il
do not stand here as man proud OF
his opinions or obstinate In his pur-
poses; but upon a question of honor
[ must stand upon my own cOnvic-
tions, against the world. Applause,
aud voice, God bless you, HOratio
Seymour.
Gentlemen, when l said here at an
early day that honor forbade my ac-
cepting a nomination by this Conven-
tiOn, / meant it. When in the course
of my intercourse with those of my
own delegation and my friends. | said
that [ could not be a candidate, /
meant it; and now permit me here to
say, know after all that has taken
place, l could not receive the nomi-
nation without placing not only my
self but the Democratic party in a
false position. GApplause.l But
gentlemen of the Convention, more
than that, we have had to-day an ex-
hibition from the distinguished citi-
zen of Ohio, that has touched
my heart as it has touched yours
[Cheers.l
[ thank God and [ congratulate
this country that there is In the great
State of Ohio, whose magnificent po-
sition gives it so great control over
the action of our country, a young
man rising In the estimation Of his
countrymen and whose future is all
be could tread beneath his feet eveTg 4g
other consideration than that o.
duty, and when he expressed to his
delegation in more than direct term:
that he was willing that [ should be
nominated who stood in such opposi
ton to his own nomination, [ should
feel dishonored man If [ could no
tread the same honorable path which
he has marked out; great applause.
Gentlemen, L thank you, and may
God bless you for your kindness tt
me. but your candidate | cannot be.
Vallandigham said: In times O.
great exlgency and calamity ever
personal consideration should be cas-
aside. He insisted that Seymour
should and must yield to the demon
stration In his behalf. Ohio's vott
must and should stand for Seymour
He called upon the several delegate
to follow that lead.
Reernan, of New York-To reliey,
everybody in the New York delega
ton, they have had no lot nor part il
this movement of Ohio; they have
heard something of it but declined t,
take any part In it, out of regard fo
the proper sensitiyeness of the Presi
dent of the Convention, until othe
delegations should show by their see

expressed his opinion that Seymou
could now accept the judgment of th
