mocracy are seeking to establish at the South. When ex-slaveholders undertook to reconstruct the South in 1865, they enacted laws restricting the freedman to manual labor, yet, forbidding him to own land; compelling him, even, to labor for such compensation as the white chose to give, on penalty of being sold for vagran- cy; and making no provision, whatever, for his education. This is exactly what we shall have re-enacted over the whole South on the election of Seymour. A Democratic success in November rre-establishes worse than feudal aristocracy

privy to it. ''They were Intentionally kept in ignorance by Tilden and his three associates in the scheme, lest they, know ing what was intended, should have pre- sented the name of Chief Justice Chase, who was the choice of the New York dele gation." Vallandigham was not let into the secret till Thursday morning, and the majority of the Ohio delegation were kept ill ignorance un til after the 2lst ballot. s" In conversation with prominent New York politician, Governor Seymour said that under no circumstances whatever could he consent to be- come candidate-said he was weighed down with family griefs and domestic troubles;" that he should be puwerless as Johnson if elected, that to be "perpleXed, worried and abused ill the same manner, would put him in his grave in less than 8 year from the time he assumed such position while, said he, with Mr. Chase it would be alto gether different: * He firmly believed the nomination of the Chief-Justice by the Convention would disintegrats the Republican party, secure his election beyond doubt, and give us majori- ty of the Forty-frst Congress. He spoke Ill favor of Mir. Chase's nomination on Thursday morning, :" and it was agreed that the vote of the delegation as unit be given for Mir. Chase. "On his way to the Convention, he read to Dr. Thomas Cottman, of New York, an elaborately prepared speech, which he intended to make-seconding the nomi-
 
 the Convention, that MT. Chase would be nomina- ted that morning"
 MT. Long describes the concluding scene of this remarkable farce as follows:-
 "Mr. Vallandigham is entitled to ali the honor that attaches to the nomination of Horatio Sey- mour. MT. Tilden, it seems, was the first to look after the Governor in the confusion that followed, and found him in the ante-room adjoining the stage, suffused in tears, and immediately beat a retreat from the of his achievements, and as he led the Governor down the stairway, with the tears yet in his eyes, he met his old friend Peter Harvey, of Boston, one of the Vice-Pesdents of the Convention, when he seized him by the hand and exclaimed: Pity me, Harvey, pity me-" The artful Tilden, knowing full we'll the importance oi getting him out of the reach of his true friends until after the convention had separated, hurried him away, and kept him in a secluded part of the city some four hours before his friends knew where to find him.
 No wonder Governor Seymour writes to MT. Iugersoll of New Haven, in the fol- lowing Responding strain:-

The shipping interest of Maine increased during the war. and up to the time of Lees surrender At that time, Maine had over 800 vessels of differ ent kinds. But peace has been too much for the people, and now, in the whole State, only about dozen vessels are owned. The reasons are-the depreciated currency which the Radicals forcc up- on us, the swindling tariff, and the high taxes The Democrats are in favor of allowing tie people to make such contracts as they please, but Rad ical Congress has refused to permit this.
 And you had the advantage of all this and yet were beaten worse than ever in Maine! It is evidently a grievance that amounts to nothing where it is understood
