HON. HORATIO SEYMOUR,
OF NEW YOIIK.
TOR VI0K-PBE8IDKNT!
GEN. F. P. BLAIR,
OF . MIRBOURI.
Tim Nomination.
It is wttli foolinga of no ordinary
pleasure that wo nail at our coast-head
this week tho names of Hon. Horatio
Seymour and Qon. Frank P. Blair,
*lha nominees for President and Vico-
president of tho late Now York Con
vention.
In theso men we raoognlsa two as
able, accomplished and popular states
men as could havo been put forward
by tho great Dcmocratio Conservative
Party of tho Nation—men who lmvo
always been sound, rcliabio and con
sistent in all their public nets—men
who are heart and soul opposed to tho
reconstruction of tho Southern States
on tho Radical plan of negro suprem
aoy—and wo shall, as will ovory othor
opponent of Jacobinism in tho whole
land, give to them our oarnost. hearty
support.
With theso pure men at tho head of
tho government to carry out the glori
ous prlnolplos of tho platform (whioli
wo give in full elsewhere), adopted by
tho Convention, tho country will ho
restored to Its former prosperity, and
Peace, like , a beauteous dovo, will
spread its wings over the whole land,
from the Lakes to the Oulf and from
the Atlantia to the Pacific. .
Should tho Conservative .Party bo
successful in tho pending election
(which God grant I) it proposes, in tho
platform adopted, to restore the con
stitutional government of our fathers
to tho country, which Radicalism has’
overthrown—to give to tho people of
tho South their rights and libortios, by
bringing back tho Southern States'in
to the Union, and striking down mili
tary despotism and abolishing tho
Frccdmcn’s Bureau.
Wo confldcntly bellove thnt if tho
tree men of the nation will address
themselves earnestly to the work bo-
fore them that the Jacobin Party will
bo put to utter ropto and ruin—swept
from - tho land—next November, and
that our country will again bp placed
in tbo happy and honorable condition
it was prior to the'war.

surfeited with Radical rulo. They sec

Tho Legislature has been brought
to a stand' still by an ordor from Gem
Meade upon tho suhjoot of eligibility
of members.' Ha says It will not bo
recognized ns a legal body until It Is
purged of all members who are inel
igible under tho Omnibus Bill—or, in
other words, who caunot subscribe to
tho tost oath.
Gon. Meade, In reply to Gov. Bul
lock's lottcr notifying him of tho or
ganization of tho two Houses, says i
U In reply 1 beg leave to .Into Hint 1 Invo no In-
tti-iMlIoii* to give you, fovthcr Ilian to nmko known
that In my Judgment neither House ia organized
legally until they havo compiled with tho requlal-
lions of lira Reconstruction sets, and the sol which
became a law .tunc S3, 18113, all of which prohib
its imv ona holding mi olllce under tho Stato who
ia excluded hy section third of Iho amendment to
tho Constitution known us Article Fourteenth.—
It la not by pnrporo to dictate to the two Houses
how or alien they will apply this test to tho sev
eral members, but In view of Ilia fact that the
Lcghduiuro, uatll the State is admitted hy com*
pi full cu with the requirements of tlm Acts or Con
gress, is only provisional and subject to tho author
Ity of the District Commander; and In view o'
tho further fact, that It is nly duty an long m> ro ||.
Itary government exists to sec that tho ' uw
faithfully oxccutcd.”

of June 25th, mils, and tho amend

tho test w’,il.,'n Mondo says must bo ap
plied Is embraced in those words: that
t’.o person Is eligible to office who, pre
vious to tho war, took an ontli to
support tho Constitution of tho United
States and afterwards gave aid ami
comfort to the enemies thereof. This is
what “ Article Fourteenth ” proscribes,
to which Mendo refers ns his authority
for tho perpetration of this monstrous
wrong upon an already cruelly persecu
ted people. Wo say monstrous wrong,
ami it is truly so 1—it Is an outrago that
every honest.citizon of tho State will
condemn in tho severest terms. But
why this proposition to eject repre
sentatives from tliolr seats, who, ac
cording to Gen. Meado’s own publish
ed orders, wore legally elected and duly
qualified 7 It is for no other purpose
than that of securing working major
ities in both houses of tho Legislature
and electing Joo Brown nml the per
jured Blodgott to tho U. S. Senate.
This edict of the Commanding Gen
eral has given rise to considerable dis
cussion among the “small fry ” politi
cians in the Legislature—each ono giv
ing fit's opinion in a very lengthy har
angue of nonsense, interspersed with
consldorablo “ bile ” from tho Radical
spouters.. After all ha'd expressed an
opinion, which consumed tho best part
of throo days, resolutions were passed
in both Houses appointing committees
to investigate tho eligibility of mem
bers. This was done on Monday, after
which tho Legislature adjourned until
this (Thursday) morning.

At no timo in tho history of the

to the honest masses than this ono, and
wo confidently expect tho triumphant,

It was our good fortune to ho invi

When wo arrived at the School Room
wo found tho different apartments
brilliantly lighted nnd quilo a con
course of happy, inquiring faces, both
old nnd young, assembled. Tho bird-
like voices of tho children rose soft nnd
clear upon tho evening air, nnd In their

freo from nil restraint, they presented
a spectacle both pleasing nnd bonnti-

At an early hour nil were invited to

Tho Radicals promised tho country
thnt, with tho work of Reconstruction
accomplished, tho States would resume
thoir civil functions, nnd the military

daintiest Radical nppellto, and yet
Gen. Meado, whilst ho directs Ills sub

does not order tho military away. If
civil government is upon its legs again
and civil law in force, why continno

Thq Radical party, like the mad rep-

The Composition of tho National Democratic

Tho Now York Democratic Conven
tion, which lms just adjourned, will
stand in history ns ono of the most
splendid bodies cf mon ever assembled
on tho American contlncbt. In its ma
terial and demeanor it contrasted bold
ly with the crowd of adventurers nnd
placemen which mot at Chicago. The
New York Sun, (radical,) says:
“ It is noticealilo that the delegates
to the Democratic Convention are of
a higher order than usual. Wo oli-
servo a largo proportion of men of sol
id character, old men of grave and rev
erend aspect, men who have not made
politics a trade, but who lmvo on this
occasion conic from tho retreats of pri

none,‘of the noisy nnd hurrah boys cle
ment so common in such conventions.
During the preliminary organization/)!'

“It was my ambition to take an ac
tive part, from which I nm now exclu
ded, in the great struggle going on for
the restoration of the general govern

but I have been caught by the over
whelming tide that is bearing us on to
a great political change, and I find my
self unable to resist its pressure.”

test for the restoration of the Union,
and tlio principles of tho Constitution,
and the preservation of the white race
O’om the domination of a semi-barber-
ous people.”
