The general impression here among tn,
retrogressives. is that tn, New York con.
vention virtually elected Grant and col.
lax by nominating Seymour and =,
that it amounts to Democrat su n.
der or disbanding of the party. tn,
Conservative ticket has no prestige but
that of defeat When Seymour was elect
I'd Governor Of New York, in 1869, il wa,
On a platform of vigorous prosecution
Of the war. Now, however, he stands he.

whom Grant, Sherman, Sheridan. Thomas,
Meade, Logan, Sickles aud other hrav,
Union generals whipped time ind again
in the field and finally crushed out of eN-
istence as a military organization, and
whom the loyal troops have beaten AS de
cisively at the ballot box since Lees sur
render, as lis evidenced by the immcns,
Republican majority now sitting in the
Senate and House Of Representatives
Seymours acceptance Of the nomina

On the ticket for VIee-Pre, idont,
commits the former to the reasonable
letter Of the Missouri renegade, which
was written and published far and wide
before the nominations were made, and
which elected the most enthusiastic
encomiuIns from traitors all over tn,
country, and especially from those assem-
bled in New York as delegates To- the
Democratic Convention. There is ON,
ching about Blair that | like. There il
40 difficulty in ascertaining how ne stAld'
on any political question. Col. Forney
says, that, socially, Blair is the prime d
