Vallandigham says the New York convention was "imbued with the spirit which went forth on the natal morn when Christ was born."
The operations of that spirit are described on unquestionable authority in these words:
"Then Herod was exceedingly wroth, and sent forth and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under."
Imbued with this spirit, the New York convention chose as their candidate the "friend" of the men who roasted young orphans in 1863, and the man whose only claim to a nomination was in his proposal to inaugurate another revolution at the South if the Tammany ticket is elected.- N. Y. Tribune.
