A NEosnenlous Crisis.

A MOSncntouS Crisis.
,ibe hour of the present writing, closes
.nast important political contest that has
>, ganspired in the State of New York. 1t
faen a contest 10 which the worlds his
=, LARGELY offers IA parallel. Posterity will
,oaled-patrotism Will stand aghast-
hon rAe pen of the impartial historian shall
.5p for perusal, how, IN the crisis oi the
.so, stupendous rebellion oi aristocratic
,,eoddprs against the best government the
rorli ever saw, they received aid and comfort
tOm powerful political party in the imperial,
~ State Of New York. Heaven grant, tor
4, sake of the Union-for the sake of freedom
nd humanlty-that il may not I've recorded
r such an infamous party was crowned with
numph There is no one SO ignorant OF the
nhcance of the issues involved IN the poht-
4 campaign in the State of New York, now
eng, as not to be fully aware that the trl-
an of Seymour will be regarded throughout
rebeldom as a substantial defeat Of the
Irh in the vital controversy which is going
with the rebelhous States.
One fact stands out prom neut TO View-a
NJ which will forever brand the Seymourites
| nth nfamy, whether they succeed. or whether
| ry fail ; and that is, they haze used precisely
II s0ate arguments against the ddmtatstfd-
A., gad its coae}nct Of the ,car, that the Rebels
The Seymour party in New York has
49,. . .bssk ~ iowi - with JEFF. Davis & Co
has e.poased the cause Of the seeeSsl0msts'
.ommop with them, it has attributed the
sae of the war to the Republican party Ii
hocstes peace upon the terms dictated by
ntors in arms. John Van Buren,, with the
SpNjon of the Democratic candidate for 46v-
rpor of New York, has announced that the
sposition party of New York is in favor of
,ssrng peace to the Rebels upon their own
sms. and if the Rebels will make no terms,
e has declared that the SeymOurltes will say
the rebellious States: "Wayward sisters,
Depart in peacer' Thus it is that Seymour
Co. have been fighting the battles OF Jeh
DAVIS upon the soil of New York.
Look into all the campaign documents which
have been issued and spread broadcast Owe
he State of New York by the Seymourites
and find, if YOU can, any hearty sympathy witt
tie present war for the Union, waged b,
Abraham Lincoln. Scrutinize the speeches o
The supporters of Seymour, and while you vii
.nd them filed with denunciations of tn
Washington administration, you will find non
50 hearty corresponding denunciation OF tn
4 Rebel administration at Richmond
Is it the diabolical attempt of the slavehold
Hg traitors to break up the Union, to over
throw the Constitution, and to establish slave
holding oligarchy upon the ruins of free gov
arnent, which excite the alarms of the Sey
uou1tes2 Oh, mo- They have no denmcla
ton for that kind of treason. But they al
alarmed because an honest President arrest
traitors in disguise because, IN self-deienc'
the constituted authorities of this great Reput
lie strike effective blows at the heart of the II
bellion. In short, throughout the campalg1
the Seymourites have made the same oppos
ton to the war policy of the President that IL
Rebels have done And for this they hay
been commended and Landed to the skies
Rebel journals. TO the Rebels, the oppos
Ton in New York has been a star of proml
and of hope. In its ranks are numbered Il
truest friends and allies of jeff. Davis. I
looks to them for succor and support when d
fortune of war fails him. They are t
Achans in the camp of Israel, and, if they su
eeed, they will do all in their power to bril
the country into subsection to the ohgarcl
founded by the rebellious States. There is
doubt about it. There is no opportunity I
iorded for doubt. ..... .. .s ~.
We await, therefore, with painful ankle
the result of the election in the great State
New York. If she stands firm by the Pre-
dent and the Union cause, all will be well.
on the other hand, she declares for submissi
to the Rebels, it will be with fear and trem
ling that we shall contemplate the future of
Republic. A few hours more will det
mine. ........ ....
