rebellion. HE language ia:
"For another reason, we cannot disband our or
ganiz4ton. No other party can save This county;
1t alone has clearly purposes aud weliseteo
principles.
Repul lean orr anizaiion makes it ncalabie Oh con-
dnciing tie affairs of tho Government"
let IA see TO what conclusion belief IN this een'
timent would lead the peoyls Under the Constitn-
ton tie role power Of combating tbs war devoNes
upou tie G.neral Government. Ii alone bas an.

| Now. IL so hapreps that Abraham Lincoln, Re-
| nubl.an ia President of the United States, hbd
whether he lives or dies, tie General Goyeihmeht
will continue in the Lands Of "R.pnbncan or
eapization" until the ith OF March 1868. IT, then,
the Republican party cannot save the country ana
il Incapable Of conducting Its affairs, anh ne he-
lrublicsn party must hold power for nearly three

In the meantime the Confederate r'nrraiion Is

Of rebellion. Treason runs not, aud the country

cordng to Mr.. Seymour the Demccrafic party alone
can fave IL, and they can't commence tho Work Of
salvation until about three years hencel
Such an argument If calculated to ex'inguish tne
patriotic aIdor Of the people. It's lpdors'ment in
Tins State would be something for Jefferson DAYS
to be thankful for in bis next Thanksgiving rrocla-
nation IL seems TO me, with great respect, 70 be
sentiment which can never he SANCTIONED unless Tue
reorle are prepared TO say that the Rebels have
, irinnphed and the war for tho Union shall be no
fotther prol ecutsd. And yet this chilling RS imp
ton runs through the entire speech, and constitutes
! one OF i'd Leading topics.
, Certainly, Governor Seymour cannot entertain
thought Of suppauing the coneliuied authorities by

| Washington, having reference even to time; Of
peace, says Of party spirit:
=" In governments purely elective. It Ia a spirit

il is certain there will always DO enough Of that
spirit for every saluiary purpose. And there being
