He served as <a href="/wiki/Governor_of_New_York" title="Governor of New York">Governor of New York</a> from 1853 to 1854 and from 1863 to 1864. He was the <a href="/wiki/History_of_the_Democratic_Party_(United_States)" title="History of the Democratic Party (United States)">Democratic Party</a> nominee for president in the <a href="/wiki/1868_United_States_presidential_election" title="1868 United States presidential election">1868 United States presidential election</a>, losing to Republican <a href="/wiki/Ulysses_S._Grant" title="Ulysses S. Grant">Ulysses S. Grant</a>. </p><p>Born in <a href="/wiki/Pompey,_New_York" title="Pompey, New York">Pompey, New York</a>, Seymour was admitted to the New York bar in 1832. He primarily focused on managing his family's business interests. After serving as a military secretary to Governor <a href="/wiki/William_L._Marcy" title="William L. Marcy">William L. Marcy</a>, Seymour won election to the <a href="/wiki/New_York_State_Assembly" title="New York State Assembly">New York State Assembly</a>. He was elected that body's speaker in 1845 and aligned with Marcy's <a href="/wiki/Barnburners_and_Hunkers" title="Barnburners and Hunkers">"Softshell Hunker" faction</a>. Seymour was nominated for governor in 1850 but narrowly lost to the Whig candidate, <a href="/wiki/Washington_Hunt" title="Washington Hunt">Washington Hunt</a>. He defeated Hunt in the 1852 gubernatorial election, and spent much of his tenure trying to reunify the fractured Democratic Party, losing his 1854 re-election campaign in part due to this disunity. </p><p>Despite this defeat, Seymour emerged as a prominent national figure within the party. As several Southern states threatened secession, Seymour supported the <a href="/wiki/Crittenden_Compromise" title="Crittenden Compromise">Crittenden Compromise</a> as a way to avoid civil war. He supported the Union war effort during the <a href="/wiki/American_Civil_War" title="American Civil War">Civil War</a> but criticized President <a href="/wiki/Abraham_Lincoln" title="Abraham Lincoln">Abraham Lincoln</a>'s leadership. He won election to another term as governor in 1862 and continued to oppose many of Lincoln's policies. Several delegates at the <a href="/wiki/1864_Democratic_National_Convention" title="1864 Democratic National Convention">1864 Democratic National Convention</a> hoped to nominate Seymour for president, but Seymour declined to seek the nomination. Beset by various issues, he narrowly lost re-election in 1864. After the war, Seymour supported President <a href="/wiki/Andrew_Johnson" title="Andrew Johnson">Andrew Johnson</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Reconstruction_Era" class="mw-redirect" title="Reconstruction Era">Reconstruction</a> policies. </p><p>As the <a href="/wiki/1868_Democratic_National_Convention" title="1868 Democratic National Convention">1868 Democratic National Convention</a> opened, there was no clear front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, but Seymour remained widely popular. Serving as the chairman of the convention, as he had in 1864, Seymour refused to seek the nomination for himself. After twenty-two indecisive ballots, the convention nominated Seymour, who finally relented on his opposition to running for president. Seymour faced General <a href="/wiki/Ulysses_S._Grant" title="Ulysses S. Grant">Ulysses S. Grant</a>, the widely popular <a href="/wiki/Republican_Party_(United_States)" title="Republican Party (United States)">Republican Party</a> nominee, in the 1868 election. Grant won a strong majority of the electoral vote, though his margin in the popular vote was not as overwhelming. Seymour never again sought public office but remained active in politics and supported <a href="/wiki/Grover_Cleveland" title="Grover Cleveland">Grover Cleveland</a>'s 1884 campaign for president. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Early_life_and_education">Early life and education</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Horatio_Seymour&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Early life and education"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Seymour was born in <a href="/wiki/Pompey,_New_York" title="Pompey, New York">Pompey Hill</a>, <a href="/wiki/Onondaga_County,_New_York" title="Onondaga County, New York">Onondaga County</a>, New York in 1810.
