4 Now for it. TIE nomination of Horatio
Seymour for Governor by the Democracy
Of New York, in opposition to Morgan,
the Republican candidate, puts the Repub.
licans fairly and squarely on the defensive,
for the nomination Of Mr.. Seymour means
earnest reform, and all the revived bitter
prejudices Of nearly generation ago, will
not cause the people Of New York to turn
backward from the present forward course
of reform. Mr.. Seymour, it is true, will
be assailed because he was not Republi-
can during the war, and because Of the
memorable anti-war riots of 1862, but it
will not turn the tide that is setting in for
reform, and Mr.. Seymour being nominated
by acclamation must accept the contest as
the fellow-laborer of Gov. Tilden in the
work Of Democratic reform. Mr.. Seymour
is the most accomplished and intellectual
statesman in the Democratic party, and his
life both in private and public, has been
conspicuous for fidelity and purity. The
Democracy of New York under the inspi-
ration of Mr.. Tlden, have presented their
very ablest and most available candidate
for Governor of that State, and if fitness,
integrity, honesty and honor,ca command
success, with such candidate the Democ-
racy of the Empire State cannot fail to
win.
Mr.. Seymour, like his Republican COM
petitor Mr.. Morgan, has twice been elected
Governor Of New York, and his nomina-
tion at this time is declaration to the
country that Tildenism means earnest re-
form, and that New York will cashier vote
for the Democratic candidate for President
in November next. When Horatio Sey-
mour's name was mentioned, a wild wave
ofpopular enthusiasm swept over the con-
vention, and called forth cries of what's
the man we want" Without one dissent
ing voice, he was declared to be the choice
ofthe Convention, and such scene as that
which followed, is without a parallel in
the annals Of political conventions. At the
announcement Of his unanimous nomina-
tion,the convention was again borne on the
billows Of enthusiasm. Such is the candi-
date which the Democrats of New York
have pitted against Ex-Governor Morgan,
and as before stated, it will be difficult 10
make the people vote against him by a
revival Of the bitter war prejudices. In
1862, when Mr...Seymour.. was reelected
Governor over General James s. Wads-
worth, in his inaugural address, January
l, 1868, he took the position that the
Union could not be dissolved under any
circumstances, and on June the 18th Of the
same year, in response to a request o
President Lincoln, he raised and forwarded
twenty thousand troops to assist in quellini
and repelling the invasion into Maryland
and Pennsylvania by Lees army, and dur
ing his term of Office commissioned up
wards Of thirteen hundred officers in tn
volunteer service of the United States.
In the nomination Of Horatio Seym ou
the Democrats of New York have declaret
their settled conviction that return tt
the constitutional principles, the fruga
expenditure and the administrative purit.
Of the founders Of the Republic is the frs
and most imperious necessity Of the time
and the commanding issue before the pee
pie Of this Union. Mr.. Seymours nomi
nation for Governor of New York wit
Mr.. Tilden's nomination for President c
the United States, will insure the vote c
New York for the Democracy, and vii
be . successful achievement Of the work {
national regeneration and reform.
Ths statement being made by Republi
can speakers and presses in respect to tn
intended vote of the liberal Republicans Q
1S72,are at variance with facts. Over sixt
per cent. Of the liberal vote Of 1872 will b
cast for Tilden.
