THE TICKET.

No nominations for President and Vice
President were over received in Rock Island
with such spontaneous and hearty enthusl
asm as those of Seymour and Blair The
most rare qualities of craftsmanship, Patrio,
tism, intelligence, and moral worth are
combined in the ticket.
Horatio Seymour, as governor of New
York, rendered more efficient aid IL furnish
ing troops TO put down the rebellion and
sustain the government than any other gov.
ernor, or any other man in the United
States. And this fact was publicly &C.
knowledged by Mr.. Lincoln. Letters Of
thanks from Lincoln and from the secretary
of war, at the time, Acknowledged his inyal
liable aid.
Frank Blair saved Missouri from seceed,
ing, and boldly fought in the front ranks UNI
I'll the last hostile gun was hred--actiug
with the republican party until the close of
the war, when that party attempted to de-
atroy the work Of the soldiers, drive the
states out Of the Union, and destroy civil
government. lie then publicly left that
party, and stumped Missouri in favor Of free
speech, free press, and the supremacy Of the
civil over the military power. He was for.
merly republican member of congress
from st. Louis,
Both Seymour and Blair are Statesmen Of
the first class, men of high cultivation, and
great personal worth and popularity. They
are such men as ancoDservativer republicans
and democrats can cheerfully support.

The wOrkingmOn for the Democratic Ticket

The workingmen Of the United States
City on the fourth Of July. Duly appointed
delegates from the various workingmens or.
carnations, in all the states, we're present
and the convention was one Of the most at.
trGctive and imposing demonstrations Of the
day against radical despotism, tyranny, tax.
alton, negro supremacy, &c, They adopted
o national platform, declaring in their reso.
lutions that they were ia favor Of paying the
national debt ia greenbacks, the same cur.
renCy that worklngmen are compelled TO re.
ceive for their labor--funding the debt, if II
can he done at three per cent interest, not
otherwise-and proclaiming that hereafter
the national domain shall be sold only to &C.
tua! settlers and in small lots, not to exceed
one hundred and sixty acres to any one per.
son. The workingmens convention appoint.
cd committee to present their resolutions
to the democratic national convention then
in session, which duty the committee pro,
ceeded at once to discharge. The committee
was received with three rousing cheers, and
escorted TO the platform upon which were
seated President Seymour and his associate
vice presidents. The wurkingmeu's resolu
tions were read TO the democratic conyen.
ton, and were received with prolonged ap
plause. The delegates in attendance at the
workingmen's national convention, were en-
thusiastic in their efforts to throw off the
burden imposed upon them by radical rule,
and boldly expressed themselves in favor OF
the nominee Of the democratic national con.
yention, whoever he might DO. The organ.
lied workingmen are power in the land,
and the radicals will feel their power at the
polls mex: fall. Their interests and rights
have been wholly ignored by the radical par.
ty, and they will cooperate with their real
and only true friends to swell the volume Of
indignation that it will go up against radical
rule next fall.
