Murphy for Congress, did So because they de-

for tie Union" As we do not believe ia lying,
even for the public good, we cannot do it.
That Gen. Wadswor.h most earnes.1.J savors
vigorous prosecution of the War until the
Rebellion shall be utterly cru.hed out, nobody
has ever doubted. 1t is this. and tlis only,
which has exposed him to the imputation OF
/ beieg an enemy to Gen. Mcclellan. He did
most anxioufly desire, while commanding u
brigade OF Gen. McClellan's army all last
Winter in front of the Rebel position at Cen
treyille, an order for a general advance on that
position. IIe did believe that the Rebels might
have becn hurled from Il in day by our I'M
menscly superior force and sent flying to Rich
monl as q frightened mob, aud that the block
ode Of the Potomac, the obstruction Of the
Baltimore aud Ohio Railroad, might thus have
been ended forever. Jle dd believe that Gen.
McClellsn's persistent, stubborn inaciion
through the later Autumn and Winter, was in
explicable, ard that il was bringing tie coun-
try to tue verge Of ruin. No word Of this
has be ever retractcd nor will be. That he
row believes that another Winter OF such
Gtnera'ship would complete The ruin Of our
country we do not doubt. That it has tempo
rarily broken down tie parry that has steadfastly
opposed it, aud placed in power that Of the
Generals who have engineered it. is plain 10

do-nothines have now been achieved. We feel

victory in Virginia or Tennessee during the
last month would have been fatal to their
political prospects, they did not even infect
Dissatisfaction that no such triumph had been
achieyed They were unfeigneily and vocfer-
ously solcitous that the "Aboitionists "
should be put down aud tue niegers kept
down; but if they had any kindred solic,udc
for the overthrow Of JEFF. Davis and his Rebel
hordes, they kept remarkably still about it.
Assuming that Seymour has polled 2SO, OOo
votes in our State, we believe that eggregat,
is made up very nearly os fcllows:

so. Bat our New.Jerscy friends steer care

Dir. Seymour declared in Lis Brooklyn speecl
that he would never consent to give up The
Unions; and he may somewhere have said thai
lie desired and expected to see it maintained
by putting down and crushing out the Rebel
lion; but, if SO, we have not happened to sec
that speech. If he shall hereafter demonstrate
