The National Democratic Convention;
after trying effort to do something re-
markable finally nominated Horatio
Seymour is its candidate for the Presi-
dency and Frank Blair for the vice presi-
dency. Now the first question which
arises in the mind of every we'll wisher
of the country, is, "Who is this Seymour
and what is his record p We all know
him tolerably well, but desire additional
light. The principal facts concerning
this man, whom the Democracy have
seen fit to honor, are quickly told. He
is New York politician, a man who
took the part of the rebels in the late
war and did all that he dared to do in
their favor. He is body and soul poll
tician, there is nothing else TO the man;
yet he is probably the strongest card in
democratic pack. Pleasing and gentle
manly in his address he has many per-
sonal friends, bat they are all of his style
of thinking-all believe it was unconsti-
tutional to pat down the rebellion, and
that the rebels should be given the pow
er once more to fire on the flag and play
smash generally. The part they propose
to play now is dishonorable in every sense
of the word, and If permitted by the
people would undoubtedly work our ruin
Us a nation, but of this we have no fears.
We will from time to time show what
Mr.. Seymour's course has been In the
past.


If the democracy showed wisdom in
nominating Seymour they exhibited the
most egregious folly in nominating
| Frank Z. Blank, renegade Republican
and a man who has made himself chiefly
CONSPICUOUS by trying to raise a second
rebellion on his own account since the
| close of the war. The democrats know
already that they have an elephant on
their hands and they do not know what
to do with him. They begin to see that
his late letter in regard to the establish
ment of a bogus congress IL Washington
by military force will not find favor with
the people. The people are bound that
their representatives shall rule, and that
the executive shall have nothing what
ever to do in the making of laws. But
Blair S letter, written only fifteen days
ago, asks how congressional action can be
overthrown, to which he replies: "H
can only be orerthro,rn bythe amhorftg o.
the E.cecutire," In other words the Who'll,
foundation of our government must be
uprooted because the action of congress
does not happen to suit f. F. Blair and
his rebel friends In his speech accept
ing the nomination, Blair asked:


What civilized people on the earth
would refuse to associate with themselves
in all the rights and honors and dignities
of their country such men as Lee and
johnson?


He also spoke of the rebels as having


distinguished themselves by gallantry
meyer surpassed" but his listeners could
hardly swallow all that, and his speech
came to an abrupt close amid faint ap.


plause.

The attempt to represent the impeach-
ment as a partisan manuever because
none but Union men vote for it or sus-
tain it, is exactly on a par with the
attem pts from the same sources to rep

Emancipation and Reconstruction on
the basis of equality as partisan man.

thing that is done of any political inn
pOrtance must be done by party, and
Is very likely to be opposed Dy the Op-
posite party, The Rebellion was exc
clusively undertaken by the Democrat
ic party. The War for the Union was
exclusively carried through by the
friends of the Union. Reconstruction
has been the work of the Union party.
Most of the laws Of Congress past for the
six years have been passed by the Un-
ion party. That party naturally repre-
sents freedom, intelligence, law, and
order. The Democratic party as nat
ura1ly represents despOtism, stupidity,
anarchy, disobedience of law, and dis
inteRratiOn. AS all parties commit
some errors, the Republican party is
not exempt. In a moment of generous
over-confidenCe &c allowed Andrew
didate for Office. II elected him in spite
Of the protestatiOns OF The New York
World, Herald, and Chicago Times that
he was a bOorish tailor and a drunken
and unpr1nctpied demagogue. Whlle
the Union party was right in its prinCi-
Piles, we are convinced that the Democ-
racy in these criticisms Of the man
showed the more thorough and accurate
knowledge of his character. They
ought to have known him better than
we, since he had always dissipated in
their company. They knew he was not
fit to be President then, and we know
it now. Combining the knowledge Of
both parties &c follows that the whole
country knows It. And It should be
the special duty Of the party that Is re-
sponsible for his election to remove him.

Night and Day.


The brief experience which the squad Of roughs
who invaded the Long Dock on Monday obtained re-
garding the efficient measures for the protection Of
life and property in Jersey is likely to have saluta
ry effect on the "pugs," and the Oyer and Termner
Court Of Hudson county will be spared the trouble
and expense OF swelling Its list of candidates for the
State Prison. Once within the meshes OF Jersey law
the escape OF the desperate is all but impossible.
AS prevention is better than cure, however, the d.
rectors have continued their precautionary meas
sures and still larger force than that enumerated
in the HERALD yesterday Is on hand. The employees
at the depot and workshops OF the Erie Railroad
have been organized INTO corps Of deputies to aid

who may be rash enough TO repeat the experiment OF
Monday. Chief OF Police Fowler will continue the
guard at night till the present troubles have passed

the executive committee looked as hopeful yesterday
as though the difficulties were entirely adjusted. The

seemed TO take special interest In the controversy.
Every visitor, without exception, urged n steadfaSt

The Ohio Statesman thus COM
ments upon the above:


It appears to us, that the suggestions In

Of the mass Of the people. The people,
however, too frequently allow party pi eju-
dice to warp their judgment to such an ex-
tent that they will vote TO continue in

Governm ent should take care Of the Rich,
Of Bankers end Capitalists, and allow the
mass of the people TO get along rs best
they can All that candidates in the
interest OF this party have had to do for a
few years past to insure their success, was
to charge upon the opposing candidates
whose principles anil political views we're
the ones calculated 10 promote the inter
tsts of the masses, that they we're Cop
perheads and Rebel sympathizers. The
result is, that under such charges the peo
pie have voted into and kept in power the
mos. scoundrelly and corrupt party that
ever existed and this party have put in
nomination General Grant, hoping that
his military reputation will seduce the
people into giving another four years
lease to the political scoundrels that they
may rob and plumber them in the name Of
'loyaliy" If the people want better
times; if they want Greenbacks if they
want a reform in the abuses of Govern
ment; if they want reduction in the
taxes; ii becomes their duty to vote fol

vote for General Grant.

The Revolatton, referring to the
likelihood Of General GRANTS nom
ination by the Chicago Convention,
says:


rIt Is now proposed TO nominate Grant
at Chicago. A man to govern this nation
in the most critical period Of its history,
who cannot govern his own appetites. We
have enough drunkenness and ssnsualism
in high places already If we would ex-
alt the moral tone of this nation, let our
young men, just coming on the stage Of
action, see that vice and ami weakness

of the best govern ent among nations.

derision at home and abroad, but the peer
less ruler among all the potenlates Of
earth"

We are glad to receive the assurance Of
the Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer that "a m a.
jority of the electoral votes of the ten
States, now undergoing reconstruction
can be given against General Grant, and
in favor of the nominee Of the New York
Convention" If this assurance is sus4
tanned, and the while people of the South
we know can do it, the Democratic success
