Horatio Seymour nominated
because: —
1. He was more distinctly and
decidedly committed against the Greenback theory of Mr. Pendleton and the
Western Democracy than any other man before that convention.
2. He was by his record more
completely identified with the peace party than any man except Mr. Pendleton.
3. He is for a reconstruction
of the South which will be agreeable to the Rebels, and opposes the
reconstruction which gives safety and power to the loyal.
