| conferred by public tation, subject to unceas
ing falsehoods and calumnies from the parti
sans of an administration laboring In vain To
| Justify it's existence, l have, nevertheless
| steadfastly endeavored to preserve to the Dem
ocratic party of the United States the supreme
issues before the people for their decision
next November whether this shall be
government by the sovereign people,
| through elections, or government by discarded
servants, holding over by force and fraud
and l have withheld no sacrifice and neglected
no opportunity to uphold, organize and consol-
idate against the enemies of representative IN
stitutions The great party which alone under
God can successfully resist their overthrow
Having now borne faithfully my full share
of labor and care in the public service, and
wearing the marks of its burdens, desire
nothing so much SIS an honor
able discharge. L wish to lay down the
honors and tolls of even quasi party leader
ship and to seek the respect of private life
In renouncing a denomination and reelectlon
an effective vindication of the right of the
people to elect their rulers, violated IN my per-
son-I have accorded rs long reserve OF my
decision as possibie; but L cannot overcome
nv repugnance to enter into new engage
ment which involves four years of ceaseiess
toll.
The dignity of the Presidential Office is
above a merely personal amols-on,
but it creates in me no illusion. Its
value is as a great power for good to the coun-
try. 1 said four years ago, in accepting
the nomination: knowing as L do, there
fore, from fresh experience, how great the
difference is between gliding through an
official routine and making out reform OF
systems and policies, it is impossible for me
to contemplate what needs to be done II the
federal administration without an anxtuos
sense Of the difficulties of the undertaking.
If summoned by the sutfrages
of my countrymen TO attempt this work,
shall endeavor, with Gods help, to be the ell
cient instrument of their will" Such work
of renovation, after many years of misrule
such reform of systems andlpolicles, to which
I would carefully have sacrificed all that re-
mained to me of health and life, is now, / fear,
beyond my strength.
With unfeigned thanks for The honors De-
slowed on me, with a heart swelling with emo
tions of gratitude to the Democratic masses for
the support which they have given to the cause
represented, and their steadfast conf
dence in every emergency, l remain
your fellow citizen,

Ex GOV. SEYMOUR
Ii is said that MIR. Miller, from Nebraska,
has letter from Horatio Seymour, to be pre-
sented to the convention, in which he repeats

he is thinking more of his will and
his children than of the Presidency.
and that if it comes to choice between
funeral and nomination, he would prefer the
former.
