This shows what the South thinks of Seymour and Blair,

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 17.—Gen. Frank 1'. Blair, when serenaded last night, substantially declared that he had not declined the nomination. His speech was otherwise remarkable as containing the following language: "The point to which I desire to bring you is this, that in this struggle we have everything at stake that it is the final and last struggle for the preservation of a IVee Constitutional Government in America that if we we fail in it, the Republic fails with us. [A voice—"No such word as fail."] It becomes a merfl appendage of the military chieftain who is lifted to power in the name of the Presideut, but who never will leave the Presidential mansion alive! [Sensation, followed by applause.] I know that gentleman well. I have no intention of derogating from his great merits as a soldier, and I have no desire to tarnish any of the laurels which he won in the services that he gave to the country during the late war. But I have just as littlte design of surrendering absolute power into the hands of any man. no matter how illustrious he has made his name in this war.
He comes back a conqueror, and by treating those States, in violence to the Constitution, as conquered provinces, lie shows his intention to treat the people of lliis country as conquered provinces, if he should be able to make that one stepping stone, and arm himself with Presidential power. That is my judgment of his character and his design, and I can argue weil of what the intentions of his party are from what his party have already done."

During the war, the Lemocratic platforms, boiled down, all resulted I in the following lucid declaration of principles 'Resolved. That we are in favor of the war. -Jlesolvcd, That \w- are opposed I to all measures lot'carrying it
on."
Since the rebellion is over, and the Union has been saved in spite of the Democratic party, their platforms are. if anything, still less satisfactory, The resolutions of the New York Convention amount simply to this ••Resolved, That we acquiesce in the results of the war." '•Resolved, That we are in favor of repudiation and the immediate restoration of unrepentant rebels and insurrectionary State Governments to all their rights enjoyed before the rebellion."1

Tjie Post, as an independent journal, is not bound to do any lying for political purposes so, in our estimates of political events to occur, wc can afford to bo honest. Looking over the whole field, then, we announce the following as our calculation of the chances of the rival Presidential candidates:

The Twenty-ninth General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church is now iu session at Trinity Church, New York. This Ecclesiastical Legislature is composed of a House of Bishops and a House of clerical and lay delegates, each diocese being represented in the lower house by four clergymen and four laymen. It meets every three years, and the Convention now in session is the first, since the year 1859, to which every diocese, both North and South, has sent delegates. The president of the House of Bishops is the Right Reverend Benjamin Bosworth Smith, D. D., Bishop of Kentucky.
Election Frauds,
At no previous election has there been so much knavery as was practiced by the Democrats of Indiana Oct 13. Spurious tickets, illegal voting and low personal abuse, were resorted to very generally throughout the State. In many cases with great success, as the return of the election show. The Republicans of the border counties owe it the State, no less than to themselves, to contest the election in some of the districts in which the floods of importation rose so high.

Judge Dickinson, of Sandusky county, who was the suecesslul Dem ocrati'c candidate against Gibson, in the Ninth Ohio District, repudiates all connection with the naturalization frauds perpetrated in the Probate Court, of which lit is Judge, and lays I the whole blame on his clerk, J. H. M. .McArdle, thus admitting the fact of fraud, though denying any coraplieity in it. It is known that the bogus naturalization papers issued from
Judge Dickinson's oilice have found their way into other counties in North Ohio, outside of the Ninth District, and the more the matter is investigated. the more extensive becomes the discovered field of the villainy. There is no doubt that sufiieient proof will lie

Corrected returns make sure the election of 45 Republicans and 49 Democrats to the next Congress, in districts now represented by 52 Republicans and 12 Democrats, a Democratic gain of 7. The same proportionate gain in elections to be held, would increase the Democratic strength to 75 members, and reduce the Republican to 101—Virginia, Mississippi and Texas not being counted.

The. editor of the Council Bluffs Democrat (Democratic) testifies thai, the boiler of the steamer bound up Salt river is "Red Hot." He ought to know.
Gen. Kilpatrick said, in a speech in New York, the other day, that it would be as impossible for the Democrats to make gains under existing circumstances,as it would be for Horatio Seymour to set a dozen rotten eggs under a tin rooster and expect to hatch Shanghia chickens.
The Wisconsin State Journal says: "We understand that when Eldridge heard that Pennsylvania. Ohio, Indiana and Nebraska had all gone Republican, he immediatly and characteristically observed, 'I ob jeet.'
The Missouri Democrat brints a cut of a sick rooster, and tells this anecdote: "Every one has heard the story of the sick passenger on a steam er, who said 'he had the best of that dinner, he tasted it once when it went down, and again when it came up.' The Democratic party is getting two tastes of Blair. The first was pleas ant the second—see cut!"
A Dodge township (Wisconsin) Democrat was waited on, the other day,by a colporteur. The colporteur a.sicd" him if he did not want to purchase a Bible. "No, he didn't want, any." "Well," said the colporteur, "if I give you one will you receive and read itV" "No he didn't wantto read- it. for it was full ofRepublic an doctrine, and he didn't want any book of that kind in his family."
Don't know how Butler feels about his Woolley suit, but wc out this way think a woolley suit a good thing on such a day as this,
Seymour don't "want to run, and nobody will volunteer to go as his substitute. The Democrats never would volunteer worth a cent.
Blair says he is in the hands of his friend. We advise his friends to lave their hands in the Mississippi.
The attempt of the Democracy to bridge the gulf which yawns to receivc them, reminds us of the story Winchell used to tell about the dog who tried to cross a, well in two jumps. The first jump he caved.
Anannias and Sapphira were struck dead for lying. Brick Pomeroy has jonly been .struck dumb, after arfort[night's campaign, and is unable to 'take the stump for the next ten days.
O, dear! what will become of the "Conservative" party meantime Ex-rebel Gen. Capers has taken holy orders. Investing such a man with clerical garments seems very much like cutting Capers before the Almighty.
The loyalists of this country propose to have a grand gala holiday on the lid of November next, and they will devote it mainly to the cracking of Butternuts.
There is a Seymour flag stretched across one of the streets of New York with the inscription, "The D. Klein Club." The name is no joke, though it sounds like it.
Fifteen negroes in Marion county, South Carolina, vote the Democratic ticket. The "consideration" is forty acres of land apiece.
Unpardoned rebels in West Virginia declare their intention to vote at all hazards at the Presidential election. The Governor has asked Mr. Johnson for soldiers.
A Democratic organ exhorts its brethren, after their defeat in the October elections, to "pick their flints and try again." We haven't seen any Democrats picking flints hereaway, but there are several dozens of them breaking stone at the Bridewell.
Instead of wasting nuv more money in superfluous bunting, the Democratic leaders are suddenly anxious about the price of bleached cotton. The necessity for procuring their political winding sheets has come upon them sooner than they expected.
Poor George Francis Train He is notified by cable of his nomination to Congress in the Fifth New "iork District, and is urged to pay his debts and come over. He answers that, he has offered to pay all the claims against him, but his offer is relused"as his imprisonment is for purely political reasons."
Quite a large number of applications have been made for the office of Brigadier General in the army, made vacant by the retirement of General Hooker. Among the applicants are several civilians, who were officers of the valunteer army during the war. The probability is that General Stoneman, now commanding the First District, will be appointed.
