difidcnce whispered to the clerk that her mis-
tress, a theatrical lady, had sent her for 10

The clerk consulted his pharmaceutical works

BY political soreheads and disappointed Office
seekers, it was, srtheiess the very largest and
most imposing and enthusi astic political ratiica-
ton meeting drawn together in this city since the
ratification OF Seymour and Blair in 1858. And
It was more remarkable ratification than that OF
Seymour and Blair, in the distinct representation
OF the different nationalities on tho ground. and
in the manifestation on every side Of heavy
political groundswsn among the Democratic
masses. Surely here, in this overwhelmingly y
Democratic city Of New York, at least, we mus,
