\ ChLUMNY TOO SILLY To BE CIR
CULATED.
We have met the following repeatedly
In Loco-Foco journals, and even believe It
was once retaied at Ward Meeting in
our City. by Hon. John McKeon. Yet if
any friend had asked John in confidence,
DO you believe Gov. Seward natural
fool I've think he must have honestly
answered No. Well, then, if you
don't believe him natural fool, how can
you suppose he ever used, to bitter par
tison opponent, any such language as YOU
have attn ibuted to him I've can't inn
ogiue how he couid have answered, except
that he found the mud lying handy, 50
cawed it up and flung it.-Just read the

h's leader, Seward
- The only new fa,ehood in the iorego-
Ing i, that which states that Gov Seward
admitted the correctness OF the original
fs IRRIGATION, or Of any part of it. He never
did anything of the sort He has always
treated it with profound contempt, and
never alluded to it in any way. We pre-
sumo, if he knew we meditated any alu-
sion to it lie would ask us to de,ist, for he
did not wish the good opinion Of any who
could be made to believe so absurd
creation. And yet we shall give the facts
in the case, in order to show how stories
of this kind generally get into circulation.
Several years ago, Gov. Seward was in
Richmond, Va. on business, and at the
Capitol Wa, accosted by William Smith,
known a Extra Billy then
Governor of that Commonwealth. The
latter, after a mutual self-intToduction, in
PRODUCED the topic of Slavery, and predict
ed the most doleful consequences from its
overthrow, should such disaster ever take
place. Gov. Seward replied in a ocular
vein to his representations Of ruin. But
what will you do with the negroes ~ in
luired Extra. for we shall drive them all
put Of our territory the moment they are
set free ~ %, well endeavor to edu-
cate, employ. enfranchise, and make GOOD
Wings of them replied Gov. Seward.
Then what shall IRE do for laborers with
out them ;" asked Smith, we II !
send you any number You want of the
Immigrants continually coming . Us from
Europe, and you will doubtless educate
them all into good Democrats, replied |
Gov. Seward" so that there will be no
loss, but gain on both sides"
Such was the substance of Gov. Saw
rd's Jocular conversation with Smith.
Which has been blazoned and distorted 10
be manner we see set forth above. Gov.
rewards sole iiea was to ridicule the alb
ardity OF the notion that Virgioia would
anish the great bulk of her Laborirg Pop
latlonb be cause she should see fit TO enamel
a'ethem-a coursewhich has 10 precedent

I'D in bondage. The gentlemanly propri-
y OF reporting this private CONVEX sation.
