NOW GIVE % LORD.

However much Horatio Seymour may
desire to retire to private life and enjoy
the rest be has 20 nobly earned, he should
not have refused to respond to the call Of
duty. 1t is much to be regretted that he
would not submit to the choice Of the con-
ven.ion and the wish Of the people. We
are Of the opinion that Mr.. Seymour
should have adopted the nomination, no
matter what personal sacrifices may be
involved. There were no arduous duties
for him to perform in the coming cam
paign, and the party demanded him as q
leader. But now since he is out of the
race, let the Democracy Of New York give
Mr.. Tilden the next best man to help him
through, and at once nominate Hon. Scott
Lord, who possesses all the qualities to
make frst-class Governor and who will
give Mr.. Tilden just the help he will 80
much need. Mr.. Lords Congressional
resolution will be winning card. His
resolution will be platform Of itself, and
his nomination will infuse such life into
the campaign as to insure the Empire
State to the Democracy. Next to Seymour,
give US Lord.

struggles of his baby victims, had his sen.
tence Of murder commuted, by the Cover.

imprisonment for life Were there any
assurance that the young murderer would

mockery OF justice has the pardon system
become, that our imprisonment for life is
practically unknown. On one pretence
