The National Democratic Committee
will meet at Washington on the 22d of Feb
ruary.
The irrepressible newspaper reporter
has invaded the quiet home of ex-Gov.
Seymour, at Utica, and interviewed him upon
the Presidential question. In reply to the ques-
ton, 9 If it should be thought by the National
Democratic Convention that your nomination
would be necessary for the party's sus-
cess. would you accept the candidacy" Gov
Seymour replied: As for myself, do not
think there is a general disposition to nominate
me, nor do think it would be wise to do So
For many reasons I should not be strong
candidate. = In q time of political
uncertainty, in the face of what have said,
it is absurd to suppose that I shall be NOM
mated I have no idea that I shall be
named by any convention for the Presidency,
even if sought the nomination. I should be
guilty Of self-complacency which would be
ridiculous if thought great party were anx-
ious to make me candidate against my wishes.
Even in that improbable event, should do my
friends very great wrong if I should go upon
a ticket with the knowledge that was not the
right man to be placed in that position"

A very large meeting was held at
Bangor, Me-, Dec. 10, to express the indigna-
ton of the Republicans at the action of the
Governor and Council in the matter of the
canvass for members of the Legislature,
at which Senator Hamlin made an outspoken
speech denouncing the proceedings of the
canvassers. The following course for the
Republicans to pursue is reported to
have been recommended by prominent politi-
clans at Washington: ITO exhaust every legal
means to prevent those persons who have ille-
gally been declared members of the Legisla-
ture from taking their seats in that body, and,
in case the courts furnish no remedy, proceed
to the Capitol and take possession of the
chambers, leaving the Fusionists to meet else
where, if they choose. The matter would
then come under the notice of the National
Government, and the administration could de-
eide which of the State Governments was en-
titled to recognition"
