NEW YORK, June 11th.-Goyeruor Sey-
raour was this afternoon shown a dispatch TO
the press from Syracuse. saying tha& the
Syracuse Courier of to-day would urge his
nomination, and give assurance that he would
not decline if nominated The Observer this
afternoon publishes the dispatch and adds the
following There is no truth in the sugges-
ton contained in the foregoing that Governor
Seymour Ia anyway changed or modified his
position. He says now, as he has said all the
time, that he is not and cannot be candi-
date, and that he would not accept Don
ination even If one were rendered
him. He deems it immoral for any
one to enter upon public Office when
his health Is unequal to the
performance Of It's labors. He alone can
judge Of 5his, and cannot yield his decision
TO the opinions q others. He has never an
tieipated the possibility Of his nomination,
aud has only regarded TIE mention Of his
name as one Of the Condolences which always
mark political specuatieEs lef0re the meet
ing q a Convention. Ia reply TO any CONF
piimentary illusions to himself ne has always
distinctly snd clearly stated lis purpose to
withdraw from an active part in public AZ
fairs, although he iel5 deep interest in the
success OF the party 10 which ne was attached.
In stating what he ssys upon this point, We
only repeat his own words since the appear
aRce Of the above dispatch in the newspapers,
and the words 90 TO meet his views aud not
our own"
The Secretary % War At West POiat.
WEST POINT, June 1lth.-A portion Of
the address OF the Secretary of War to the
graduates today was considered significant.
10 view of the Whitaker case. IL was as
follows " It is pre-emiuently the duty of
the graduates Of the Academy, who are bene-
ficiaries Of all the people, to symbolic their
faith IN the vital source of our nations
strength-the equality of manhood-by re-
cognizing the right Of all persons, of whatso-
ever condition, TO strive for the attain
ment of such position as their abili-
ties and desires may warrant. 1t is
an ignoble thing to be governed by imaginary
superiority over any of our less fortunate
fellow citizens born of unadYentitious circum
stances, and thrice ignoble to make an active
exhibition of so unworthy a sentiment by OPP
pressing those whom We may deem beneath
us. True manhood dictates the extending of
q helping hand to lift up the lowly, and
words of encouragement to those vino are
struggling to elevate themselves. / ask you,
my young friends, to give some thought 10
these suggestions, and to. cultivate, not ouly
love of country, but IS we'll 4 love for the
sentiment of which cur country was born"

rs the diplomas were awarded, cadets

IicioHs.
