The election of Mr. Horatio Seymour, Governor of the State of New York…, 1862. Creator: Unknown
The election of Mr. Horatio Seymour, Governor of the State of New York: Democratic procession passing the New York Hotel, 1862. Procession '...en route for an evening open-air meeting in the City Hall Park, to ratify the nomination of the Hon. Horatio Seymour as Governor of the State of New York, and of Messrs. Elijah Ward, Fernando Wood, Benjamin Wood, and James Brooks as members of Congress for four of the electoral districts of the city. The New York Hotel...[is] the head-quarters and rendezvous of all the prominent politicians...whose battle-cry in the present deplorable struggle is "The Constitution as it is, and the Union as it was." When the procession passed this well-known hostelry the order was given to halt, the band struck up "Dixie" and the "Star-spangled Banner;" three cheers were given for Horatio Seymour, and responded to by the guests who had gathered at the door and on the balcony. It then went on its way, rejoicing...already certain of the victory which its party was destined to achieve within a short interval, a victory which has already changed the current of Federal politics, and which clearly foreshadows that the Republican party has no chance of electing another President in succession to Mr. Lincoln'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical print captures the excitement and energy of the Democratic procession passing the New York Hotel in 1862, during the election of Mr. Horatio Seymour as Governor of the State of New York. The procession, en route to an open-air meeting in City Hall Park, was a lively display of support for Seymour and other prominent politicians.
The scene at the New York Hotel was one of celebration and anticipation, with cheers for Seymour ringing out as the band played "Dixie" and the "Star-spangled Banner." The hotel served as a hub for political activity, with key figures gathering there to strategize and rally their supporters around their battle-cry: "The Constitution as it is, and the Union as it was."
As described in "Illustrated London News," this event marked a turning point in Federal politics, with victory seeming certain for Seymour's party. The atmosphere captured in this image reflects not only the passion and dedication of those involved but also foreshadows significant changes on the horizon.
This print serves as a powerful reminder of a pivotal moment in American history when political tensions were high, allegiances were strong, and democracy was put to the test. It offers us a glimpse into a past where every vote counted and every campaign had real consequences for our nation's future.
