however, very peculiar, to say the least of it.

This is the beginning of the end. So long as

wide popularity for the imposture. But now

The TWO SEYMoURs.-During the last two or
three days there have been as many mistakes
made by the politicians about the two Governors
Seymour, in connection with General Pierce,
as there arc in Shakspeare's play ofthe Comedy
CT Errors" in which Dromio Of Syracuse is con-
stantly COMPOUNDED with Dromio Of Ephesus
Let us clear up the mystery. for the sake Of po-
liticians. who have been on tenter hooks with
out cause. The Governor Seymour who accom-
panied General Pierce to this city, is Thomas
II. Seymour OF Connecticut, who was a colonel
in the brigade Of General Pierce, in Mexico, and
is a personal friend. He brcakhstcd next
morning at the Astor House. with Gen. Pierce,
in company with Major Kimball. who also
distinguished himself in the Mexican campaign.
The Governor Seymour who visited Gen. Pierce
at the Astor House, is Horatio Seymour. Cover
nor Of this State, who is not intimate with Gen.
Pierce, and merely called to pay his respects to
the President elect and perhaps also to put in
sly word in favor of the soft shells" We make
this explanation for the benefit of those j" hard
shells' who have been needlessly in torture
not having the slightest reason for alarm. so far
as Governor Seymour" is concerned. There
is as much difference between the two Seymours
as between the two Dromios in the play.
