To Frank Biair’s revolutionary letter | is attributed much of ibe defeat of the Democe Facy on Tuesday last, and the World suggests | be at omce resign from the ticket.

THE MEUITS OF SEYMOTR AND PLAIR. The New York iS very tuuny over the dilemma of the Demoe-cy. It sugzests that the $4.0 recently contrituted to the New York National Coumittes b- spent 1 “ring the banurts and transpareucies of the Democ- Facy, painting out the likenesses of Seymour Biur, and eubstituting those of their suc- cessors, Of the candidates the Sua says: “ Seymour is a good man—a good man io live at Utes; a good authority ou watermelons: be has a large stock of copper on hand, amd migat go into the copper trade. Hei a good candi- Gate to withdraw. He sai, when ne accepted that he could not accept with honor. «As for Biair—we dow’t think it is a good season for Blairs: they seem to be tronbled with the bhgbt. Togive them therr dues, how- ever, it must be admitted that they don't hart a party much if they don't belong to it.” TURER WOULD Now AC- NOMINATION No maa who ceuld by ADY possibility win woul@ take the nomination after Seymour. Usaly a political adventurer would accept the chance, and with such a man the Democrats would be in mo better po- | sition than they are. They must face tue mw u- tic.

The following are the particulars of a {rs cide that cecuried im Dubuque, Lowa, oa urday last. The parties to the tragedy are two brothers, by the name of Benning, of German aativity. ‘The elder brother is a mechanic, and has an in- teresting wife and several children, who reside at the lower end of Fourteenth street. About *1x Weeks sgo, the younger, Nicholas Benning, come to Dubuque, and took up his quarter: With bis brotber, and to all appearances the Telations of each ‘were pleasant, and everythin: assed off agreeably. it seems that the elder Henning, however, became aillicted with jeal- ousy, Abd imagined that his younger broth was On terms of improper miimacy with his wife, but whether there any ground for this suspicion we have not learned. Aoout eight o'clock last evening the eider Benning Teturned to bis home considerably under the influence of liquor, and with the evident in. tention of wrenking vengeance upon the m: whom he supposed bad dishonored him. He had approached within a few yards of the house when the frenzied man met bix brother, and & violent altercation eusued The busband upbraided Nicholas — fo his perfidy, declaring that his domestic peace had been forever ruined. aud stung io madness by rage and liquor, he drew a large buicher kuife and stabbed Nicholas in the right armpit, completely severing the axillary artery. Tbe unfortunate man screamed for help, and staggered a few paces to the ground, while the blood rushed forth in torrents. The sight of this only seemed to kindle the pas-ions of the m' and seiz- ing stick of wood he started towaras bis bleeding. dying, brother, with the evident in- tention of dasbing bis brains out, bat was pre- vented by a nvighoor, who finally succeeded in overpowering him. So crazy and determined Was the murderer that it became necessary to bind him with ropes, a task which was soon accomplished, 4s by this time a large crowd had arrived wpob the ground. A message was Cespatched tor Dr, Staples, who soon arrived and did all in bis power, but in vain,as the loss of blood bud been too great, and the man expired within fifteen or twenty minutes after receiving the fatal thrust. The murderer was of course arrested, aud is now confined in the calaboose. ANOTHER NATIONAL CONVENTION.—A cir- cular dated Baltimore, calls for a convention ofthe colored people of the United States to assemble on the Eth of January next in thi city. The circular thus explains the object of the con vention: ~The partial or total exclusion of colored ¢ zens from the elective franchise and other ci zen rights m so many States of the Union demands, and ought to receive, the continued consideration of every colored man, and of the Congress of the nation. Surety. the four‘eenth amendment of the United States consiutation, Tecently adopted, does not justify such excl: sion. Surely, citizenship, ax declared by toa! amendment, carries with it the right: of efti- zens and thé @vident duty of 9 Kberty-loving and a loyal Congress is to see that 9 ublican form of government 1s guaranteed while State 1s permitted to withhold from citizens, op account of merely, the rights of citizens. Whatever other subjects you may deem of suf- ficient importance to bring betore the bational convention, brethren, this exclusion is the all- absorbing question of the preseut, aud must call forth our earnest action, by petition, by personal appeal, by prowst, and by wha! votes we have. until justice be dove. The right se- cured of voting, irrespective of color, will nec essarily restore to us other rights of which we are now deprived.” Evanoriicat Loruinan SyNop or Mary- Lanp.—This ecclesiastical body couvened iu the Lutheran eburch in Westminster, Md., last week.
