SEYMOUR. Mass Ratification Meeting In Brooklyn. The Democratic Nominations Enthusi- i astically Endorsed, Speeehes by Senator Murphy, 8. 8. Cox, Bich- ard O'Gorman and Others, ———— Last evening the democracy'sf Kings county assern- bled In mass meeting to/ratify the nominations of the Democratic National Convention for President and Vice President of the United States. The call, which Was made under the ausptces of the General Demo- crasic Committee of Kings county, drew together a vast gathering, which filled not only the interior of ‘the butlding where the principal mecting was held, but congr-gated thousands in the street opposite and the edjoining square, where cannons were fired by the minute and rockets sent wp by the score, The greatest enthusiasm prevailed inside and out, and so far as tp ratification of the democracy of Kings county isvoncerned their favor ioratio Seymour for President and F. P. Blair for Vice Presiéent—may conader thetr election a foregone conclusion, In Montague street a plat- form for speakers was erected, on which a band of music was stationed, end during the evening impro- vised speakers held forth therefrom to those who could not eifect an entrance tato the overcrowded academy. Papst and his Twenty-third regiment band occupied the orchestra seats and supplied dur- ing the speaking what was very much required—a litle enlivenment to the rather dull and uninterest- ing proceedings within the building. OPENING PROCEEDINGS, Mr. J. G. Scuumakss, President of the General Dev ic Committee of Kings county, opened the proceedings by stating the object of the mecting and int jucing as President the ‘“mext Governor oi Lue Empire State,” Henry ©. Murphy. REMARKS OF THE OHAIRMAN. Mr. Merriy, on coming forward, was warmly received. He said:—The nominations that you are invited here to-night to ratify are not of men un- known to the public service, but of able and patriotic citizens who have distinguished themselves in that service in times past by their devotion, zeal and ttention, and who are possessed of those sound and conservative views which are now so important in the present condition of our country. (Applause.) Their nomination was made by a Convention composed of men from all arts of this great Union, every State and territory ving represented in that Convention and that a per- fect unanimity, The result of their determination has flasied with electric speed to the utmost con- nes of this republic, and from every city and every town, frou every hill and valley comes up @ joyful Tesponse from every friend of constitytional right and republican government In favor of Seymour and Biair. (Applause), ‘These names have been pre- seuted to you notin the interest of party merely— though lt is true they are presented to you by that o.d |: me-honored and ever living organization the Na- Lemocratic party—but they are presented to of measures which the present of the couniry mands to be observed to be carried out. ey are pledged to a ation of the States under a constitution of r proper rights and to a reversal, by regular and ans, of that policy which has estabiished vremacy in these states. (Applau: ‘hey piedved to a reduction of the expenses of the ermiment and to the prompt and speedy payment 1@ National debt, according to the bond. (Ap- piause.) ‘Llese are the special measures, or issues, which are framed for the coming contest. They have been forced upon us by the party, the dominant party, in power. They have arisen since the last Presidential election and, fudeed, since the war terminated, And therefore it behooves every patriotic cinzen, whatever may be bis pessoua and political relations heretofore, to weigh aod study them. Presuming upon their strength as evinced in the last Presidential election and upon .be Weakness of the Southern Sta! con- quered and submissive, asking to be admitted into twe Uni n and willing to obey the lawe—I say, pre- suming upon these, that party which we here denounce have violated their pledges to the people and every principle of politi- cal justice and right. ‘They have refused to a’mit tuese States into the Union, although they expressly resolved in Congress that the war was carried on merely for the preservation of the Union. Tuey have refused them edmission and representa- tion in Congress until they would elect men who Would sub:taniiate their interests and perpetuate tueir power. ‘Tey have refused amnesty until the opie of the South would consent to follow their be- ests and obey their dictation. They have established in the Southern states governments; they have ex- ciuded the whites from the suffrage aud conierred it upon the negro. The conse- quence of these acts—their first fruits—we are now witnessing. We have seen within a few weeks the chosen men for Senators, as they are called, ad- miuited into the Senate of these States, elected by the nex:o Legisiatures, and each one of those representa- tives has, must have, tie same weight in that grave body as Senators from the State of New York. And DOW an effors 18 being made and we are threatened, if possibie, in the election of a President by negro Yoies. Ido not believe it will transpire. I have that confidence in the people of the North that in this election there will be an overwhelming majority in favor of Seymour and Blair, (Applause.) And when that shall have been accomplished these egro governments will disappear like the baseleas fabric of a vision and leave not a wreck behind. The Union for which our fathers fought in the Revo- ution, the Union for which our soldiers fought in the rebellion, the Union for which we lavished two or three thousand millions of treasure, was not for Africanized States. It Was never in- tended, uor would they or we consent to ® union with States which have no more civilized control over their determination than the island of Hay. It cannot be, and we appeal to the Rr to denounce the pe etrators of these acts. it is not my inieation to ct upon you @ speech. se qu-stfous will be discussed with much more aud Competency by others than I could treat and | sali now proceed to perform the proper of the chair. (Applause,) RESOLUTIONS. Mr. Scuumaker then announced the vice presi- dents and secretaries of the meeting, and read the following resolutions > most heartily and cordially endorse ottices of President and Vice Presi- recentiy mado by the Democratic Rational onvention in the city of New York, and that we pledve the county of Kings to give, at the coming election, a Majorhy of 25,000 votes ‘or that patriotic, pure and euinent ry aod that brave and resolute Francis P.

COX'S REMARKS. Mr. 8. 8. Cox was the next speaker, who proceeded to adkiress the meeting substantially as follows:—tie insivted that the Southern citizens Were anxious to return to self-government in the Union as soon as Possible. Was there justice needed from the judictal Or executive departineats towards the South? No; justice was satisfied. No scaffolds were required, ‘he Executive gave amnesty.

Why in one county in Florida (Leon, where twenty- seven hundred n voters were registered) thirty- five thousand rations were issued last month, just are the election. It ia to subvert this privilege tt the South ‘is thronged with inter- lopers from the North, styled ‘carpet-baggers,” carrying infammato'y appealsand prover of forty acres and a mule to each negro, It is to subvert this privilk that the army at an expense of one hundred millions is kept up at the South. According to General Grant’s own talk to Senator Doolittle, October 2, 1865, nearly al the troublea between the whites and blacks ‘“‘were im consequence of the un- wise attempt to force negro suitrege on those States;? and yet it is to introduce this system that General Grant, while Secre- tary of War three years later, discovering that the n had not “intelligence sufficient to combine for the expression of their will,” ordered the milital to be increased for some time to maintain the freed- men in their nght of suffrage, and recommended “ics reduction only after the election 1” Which is the General Grant to be approved? It is to this tuat radi- calism invites the American people this fall. The negro already votes in the South. It is proposed by the newly coddied constitutions to perpetuate this privilege by irre ble law. The ground- work and corner me of the new consti- tutions in the South is this equality. It is more. It is the supremacy of the black. It tends to the antagonism of races, the destruction in the end of the weaker race, and in its destruction involv! the social and material interests of one- third of the Union. To give one comprehensive state- ment, over 700,000 ignorant, negroes, mostly led by itmerants, without name at the North, and seeking the gratification of their greed South, the bum- mers of the radical army and the stipendiaries of Congress and its Freeman’s Bureau, are all at once made voters, They furnish legis lators for the whole country. The consti- tution of Alabama is a negro constitution to the, extent of 57,237 negro majority. In Georgia, Florida, the Carolinas, Texas and Virginia, where the whites had some twenty thousand more regis- tered voters than the blacks, nevertheless, owing to the chronic discontent, the vote showed a negro ma- Jority of 251,496. These constitutions were made to order in Washington. They are all cut from one pattern. Itis nota matter of interest to the South alone, but to the North also. Twenty Senators, over fifty Representatives and seventy electoral votes for President will wield in the federal counsels the power of ten States. They hold the balance of ower. In the Senate Florida nullifies New ork. If the elections are at all equipoised, a3 in 1856-60, these black votes will rule. We are then a black republic! It is a@ terrible peril. ‘These 700,000 biack voters can destroy our best poll- cies, They may vote down our credit; tax at pleasure; vote to themselves our public lands and repudiate at will, If your children fo South to live, they have to go under irrevocable laws, en- acting that such su: shall forever be continued. The voter South must swear that he accepts the civil and political equality of all men, Where are the voters in New ork, Ohio, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana and Illinois, who have refused thus to vote? Disfranchised, Nearly two millions of democratic voters in the North are thus aiiensg from the South. Thus the union of equal States becomes a sham and a shame. Next comes the Omnibus bill for six of the States, with North Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana, Alabama, Geor- gia, and Florida, Virginia, Mississippi and Texas may follow, though I see that to-day tt is pi to put them to the sword yet awhile. The play is then to end in some giddy “Black Crook” spectacle. These constitutions are the product of incu- bation, aided and addied by the warmth of Northern vagrants, who, cuckoo-ltke, have sat upon not their own. Here and there are [ao from Canada and Jamaica, unnaturalized. ink of it, rea from the Liffey and Rhine, Mixed with this mosaic are unpardoned culprits from South and North. Here @ biack scoundrel from Sing Sing; there a horse thief from the penitentiary of Ohio. Here a razor-bearing barber, innocent of all but lather, and there a razor-cut! assassin, guilty of all the crimes in the calendar. These pre- i ‘sovereign States for the family of Washington. ey are manufacturing radical representation. Lis- ten to their senseless jargon and audacious malignity. Where is the relief for this? As President Jo! nm said when he came to Washington, ‘The only salva- tion is in the democratic party.” Its history is co- eval with the constitution, and will be coeternal with the government. In all that gives stability to industry, freedom to trade, standards to currency, juality in taxation, economy in oye self-government to States, peace to the Union. home peace, abroad and glory; in all that makes up 8 law-abiding and constitution re- vering party, the democracy will stand in the next seventy years, as it has in the seventy years before the war, as @ wall of adamant it the waves of radicalism, It is this party that has made our eee and our government strong, not by the collisions of civil war, but by the cultivation of concord. Under the control of democracy we should before now have had this whole Continent banded ‘under a federal head, holding half our hemispnere, a8 gravity holds the stars, by the system of constita- tonal law. Before the war the democracy strove to save the nation with earnest, patriotic and eae endeavors. During the war it commanded its sons to the field with melancholy pride; and it gave its sweetest blood to the Fay 23 as it had given its kindest counsels, Horatio Seymour, by his speeches and his adminis« tration in New Y vindication and illu His record is erysta a fair type and noble 1 of democratic patriotism. In vain slander assaiis it. He, like the party whos ponent he ia, accepted the resuits of the war as they ¥ eciared, ag im honor bound, and in the spirit of Chriotian @mnesty, “with malice to none, charity to all, to bind up the nation’s wounds and to «lo all that may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.” In this spirit the democracy tn- tend tocontend. If they fail, then the stars in their courses are against them. If they succeed the spirit of Christ wiil temper the people, and ail that is for- giving and good will encompass the constitution as sentinels for its guard and is sweet honor. Then, over and ont of the cataract, seething and foaming with the passions engendered by our civil strife, there will spring like Hope Aradiant arch, that with prismatic dyes, Links North to South—its keystone in the skies, The band then piayed a patriotic air. REMARKS BY MR. RICHARD O'GORMAN. Mr. O’GoRMAN next addressed the audience. He said that there were times in the life of every man when negligence was crime, When man’s rights were assailed, when @ man’s honor was insulted, sel/-assertion became the first duty, and to fail in that duty was base and pusillanimous. So it was in the life of nations; when the i < rights were assailed, when the nation’s honor was insulted, when the nation’s future was betrayed, it became the duty of every citizen to be a yee and he in who was not a politician such times failed in his first duty which a citizen owed to his native land. The danger of nations was seldom to be found among the laboring, working men of a nation, The meu Wio toll for a country were always at their posta. But in the life of every nation there were always found a few adroit, subtle, selfish, reckless men, always anxious to live by the labors of working men, and often de- sirous of making every advantage out of their mis- fortunes. The speaker then reviewed the condition of the country ten years ago and pointed out the contrast which it now presented, country was disunited and weak, and was forced to cringe at the feet of every Kuropean despot who dared to raise his hand against her. But the day was when dared not do s0—in the old democratic power—nor dare the British lion settle down and reat ite talons uj the Irish-American citizen now confined in English dungeons.

General Blair, tie candl- ‘Gate for the Vice Presidency, made the following re- marks in response to @ call from the people of Omaha, Nebraska:— - Tam here to acknowledge the compliment you have paid me. J assure you that 1 value the com- pins I am well aware that it is not paid me individual, but raiher as one as an of the representatives of that cause to which you have shown yourselves so devoted. (Applause.) It is a cause, my fellow citizens, worthy of Our Gre devotion and of your highest enthusiasm. It is cause of free government and constitutional govern- ment in this country, and [ am satisfied, my friends and fellow citizens, from the enthusiasm and feeling Manifested here to-night and elsewhere where I have been, that this cause ta destindd to a great and glorious victory in the next election in November. (Great applause.) I feel, my fellow citizens, that we are destined to achieve a great victory in behalf of our free govern- ment and free constitution. I feel to-day, not alone from this manifestation, but from all we have seen during the past year the elections where the policy of the radical ae ‘ty has been condemned by overwhelming majorities of the people of the United States—(cheers)—and notwithstand! this condem- Nation by the people, these reckless people, who achieved pote upon @ totally different issue from that which is now before the people, have, in de- fiance of the popular Will, in deflance of the votes of the people, of whom they were simply the repre- sentatives, urged forward these measures to a com- letion in the hope that they could bind the hands of e people of this country and wrest from them the Bower forever. (Applause.) Yes, my fellow citizens, ey have by these measures put under foot all the peene of our race in ten of the Southern States; they ave bound a million of people to the earth with their bayonets, and they have put on the top of them this hideous black barbarism—(applause)—and, my fel- low citizens, feeling that tl ey have lost the conf- dence of the white race, both North and South, they propose to overcome the charges cast against them at the North In the free States aneing the last year by the minority of the South, whom they have made supreme over the white race there, and the question comes up for your decision—for the decision of the whole of the people of this country—will epee permit 8 minority in both sections composed of the white race.

The Blair family can never be deterred from taking that stand by man who wishes to assail the fair white race of this country by a mixture with the blacks. (Applause.) My fel- low citizens, it is not my intention to detain you by any lengthened remarks. (Cries of “Go on.) 1 knew very well that what I had to say would not please a certain set of peuple and I will say fur her that I did not intend lease them. (Loud cheers.) If any one is displeased that we, the democrats, intend to restore the government and the constitution they may make their decrees now, for I teil you that after November next you will not be able to hear one of them speak. (Applause.) But I am for giving them the largest liberty of ch. I do not intend nor desire that they ould be gagged as they are now unre toring to gag ght millions of our people in the South. [ do hot think it will be the policy of the democratic party when it comes into power and re-establishes the government to proscribe free speech anywhere in the country. It has always been their policy to give the largest liberty to all men to use the most fect freedom of speech, for without it we cannot maintain our free institutions. But these things are exceedingly distasteful to our radical brethren. Throughout the South, they put ‘the gag in the mouth of those people whom they have trod un- der the military heel. Men are arrested, thrown into prison and tried by military commissions, in defl- ance of those constitutional guarantees of the rights of free speech, right of trial by jury and the right to be tried before his peer and the judicial tribunal for any alleged offence. Where are those rights now? They have been stilled, trodden down, and yet we find men in this country who can stand up and defend those acts of atrocity. (Cheers.) My fellow citizens, | thank you for your attentive audience. This is a gratifying spectacle to any man who loves liberty and the con- stitution. This enthusiasm is a sure harbinger of our success next November. (Cheers. And that success, under the lead of the distinguished gentle- man who has been chosen by a democratic conven- tion as your candidate for the Presidency, is certain to restore to you the constitution handed down to you by your fathers, Gentlemen, I again thank you. (Cries of “Go on.”) I find it impossible, my fellow citizens, to make my voice reach the confines of this Immenge crowd, and, thanking youfrom my heart for the kindness which you have shown me to-nignt— thanking you still more for the enthusiasm you shown for that cause in which I am now é! along with you, I now retire. (Loud cheers.) Preparations for the Campaign in this State. The Republican State Central Committee met in Albany on the 224 inst., and after a sharp contest Mr. Hamiiton Harris was elected Chairman, James Terwilliger Secretary and Waldo Hutchins Treasurer. An executive committee was appointed as follows:— Henry R. Low, of Sullivan; A. D. Wait, of Fulton; Joshua G, Abbe, of New York; James W. Husted, of Westchester; Edwin A. Merrit, of St. Lawrence; L. Kingsly, and the chairman, secretary and treasurer. The matter of the Twenty-third street organization in this city was referred to the above committee with full powers. The Executive Committee of the republican sol- dlers and sailors also met in Albany about the same time and adopted the cognomen of the “Grant and Colfax Boys in Blue,” and prepared to act in concert with the republican party in the State. A meeting of the Republican Executive Committee will be beld in this city on the 30th inst, Political Notes. General Paimer, republican candidate for Governor, has formaliy opened the campaign in Illinois by making a speech in Egypt. Now let the public pre- pare for the terrible plague of politics, worse than any that ever aMicted the ancient Egyptians. Hon. Roscoe Conkling, brother-in-law of @x- Governor Seymour, denies the reported taint of in- @anity in the Seymour blood. The Mississippi democrats claim they have @iected Congressmen in four out of the five districts of the State, viz.: the First by 5,620, electing Captain Townsend; the Second by 3,829, electing T. M. Martin; the Third by 1,216, electing G P. M. Turner; the Fifth by 771, electing General W. ‘tf. Martin. They concede that George C. McKee, republican, is elected in the Fourth district by nearly 5,000 majority. A down East paper gives as a new reading by Gen- eral Grant:—‘I propose to fight it out op this line if {t takes all Seymour.” A new wonder has turned up in Kentneky in the shape of a caif with six legs, two tails and no back- bone.
