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. Tho honest men of tho country are surfeited with Radical rulo. They sec tile government vergingnearer and still nearer a centralized despotism, and ^ wnnlcnf organization to' the ’dustJ anT 'rrtnfnrenrwTn' Tbs Georgia LtghUlars—Tbs Expolilon of all lleinbon who Cannot Take tbo Teat Oath Bccommoaded bj Ueade. 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.” Every well-informed reader knows, who has rentl tho Aot op Omnibus Bill of June 25th, mils, and tho amend ment seeflot’ to the Constitution, thnt 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. What will bo the result of tho inves tigation thnt Is to bo mndo wo know not; but wo foar that many good and rent tbo .Leg islature, and that tho Radicals will at Retention of the domination. Tho nomination of Soymoitr and Blair is Imllod by tho poojilo, North, East, South and West, with tho great est enthusiasm. Speeches, bonfires, illuminations and salutes of 'cannon, lms boon tho “ordor of exorcise*” In ov ory olty and important town through out tho entire land, during the past week. At no timo in tho history of the government has a Presidential nomi nation given more goneral satisfaction to the honest masses than this ono, and wo confidently expect tho triumphant, cloottou of these pure statesman at tho November election. But to accomplish this thoro is work for every iovor of tho Constitution and good government to do. Let ovory ono bo up and do ing.

Tho Democratic Party of Georgia is again, reminded of tho Convention to ho held In tho City of Atlanta ott tho 23d instant, nnd each county is reques ted to appoint dologatos without de lay.

Of courso every Radical in tho Leg islature, who ia affected In this way, will bo relieved by Congress, if they have not already boen. It is very ensy for that patriotic (!) body to remove tho political disabilities of tho “loll,” but tho thing cannot bo dono for n democrat. No, no—this would never do; ho is a friend to peace nnd good government, nnd would of course op pose, with his vote, every wicked meas ure of the Radicals—and tho remedy for him is to forbid his holding any of fice whatever that will In tho least mil itate against tho dotermlnod purpose of the Jacobins to rulo or ruin this gov ernment. Was there ever a parly so wofully corrupt nnd rotten ns this Radical or ganization 7 They are determined to take exclusive control of every olllce of trust nnd profit in tho State, nnd hence In order to do this they must first get tho democrats in tho Legisla ture out of tho way, who they know will bo a thorn in their sides.

Tho smaller children exhibited a proficiency truly surprising, which must have gladdened the honrts of parents nnd gunrdians, as well as tho ablo and accomplished Principal. It was our good fortune to ho invi ted and attend the closing Festival on Friday night. The evening was one characteristic of the goklcn summer poason, brightly beautiful, with a bal my atmosphere succeeding the refresh ing showers of tho early morning. 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 fancy party dresses, with earnest, glow ing faces, nnd graceful movements, freo from nil restraint, they presented a spectacle both pleasing nnd bonnti- ftil, which communicated to the looker on much of the elasticity of Bpirit that pervaded their own youthful hearts. At an early hour nil were invited to a table invitingly spread with nil sorts of good things, and tho hours flew mer rily by until 11 o'clock, when the crowd dispersed to their homes.

Chairman Ceil. Ex. Committee Tho Radicals promised tho country thnt, with tho work of Reconstruction accomplished, tho States would resume thoir civil functions, nnd the military withdrawn. Well, Florida, having com plied with all the requisitions, is recon structed, with enough of tho nigger in her pie, we should think, to satisfy tho daintiest Radical nppellto, and yet Gen. Meado, whilst ho directs Ills sub commanders In thnt State to abstain from all interference with the civil law, does not order tho military away. If civil government is upon its legs again and civil law in force, why continno tho military thoro? If we are to bo subject to militnry surveillance after wo lmvo organized Stato governments and, boon ro-ndmitted into tho Union why attempt to play the farce of civil government at all 7 Thq Radical party, like the mad rep- tilo, is dying of its own excess.

The Composition of tho National Democratic Convention. 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 vate life under the impulse of public duly. There is little, indeed almost none,‘of the noisy nnd hurrah boys cle ment so common in such conventions. During the preliminary organization/)!' Saturday there was tho most respectful attention on all sides; the various State delegations (with a single exception) were prompt and unanimous in their votes, and seemed to outer into a pleas ant rivalry for the honor of being fore most in pushing along the work at hand.
