nTR. SEYMOUR ON RECORD.

mass meeting of his supporters in this city, aud
that he is to make speech in favor Of vigor-
ous prosecution Of the War for the Union! 1t
is high time. His partisans, through The Her.
aid and their lately purchased city organ, are
continually insisting, in defiance of the fact,
that the supporters of Gen. Wadsworth de-
nounce them in mass as disloyal. This is not
so. great portion Of those who are expected
to vote to make Mr. Seymour our next Gov
ernor are heartily, zealcusly loyal; but they
are in bad company. We state only what every
ones experience will confirm when we say that
Every voter in this State whose sympathies
are on the side Of the Shareholders Rebellion
is supporter OF Mr.. Seymour;
Every voter who asserts that the Southern
Rebellion was provoked and all but Justified
by Northern aggression is Tor Seymour;
Every voter who maintains that the South
is inyincbly unanimous in support OF the Re
bellon, and thu. We are fighting against the
principles of tho Revolution, is for Seymour;
Every voter who chuckled over The Naiiona!
disaster at Bull Run, insisting that our soldiers
there received their just deserts for invading
aud attempting to subjugate the South, is for
Seymour; and
Every voter who, while more or less openly
discouraging volunteering, has proclaimed the
impracticabiity Of drafting men to fight IN THIS
war, is for Seymour.
| If Mr.. Seymour will only convince oil these
a. 10 q, ne bo..fr a surrortar of ths " ur rs
Gen. Wadsworth, he will deprive himself of
not le,s than One Hundred thousand Vo;ei
that be is now morally certain Of. But he viii
do nothing of the kind. They all know that
his support of the War is impeled by the
exigencies Of tho candidate not by the feelings
of the man. When Mr. Seymour was IN
Washington last Winter, lie was the intimate
and daily associate of Vallaudgbam, Ben.
Wood, and the school of Democrats who do
not pretend TO disguise their sympathy with
the traitors nor their hostility TO the War.
Though a man OF large means aud liberal sp rit,
he has done little or nothing toward raising or
equippng volunteers for the War In short, If
Mr. Seymour las thus far been hearty sup
conceivable way OF showing it.
But he is no such thing, as bis record
abundarty proves.
In 1861 (Jan. 3D. Mr.. Seymour and bis
political associates held Convention in Twed-
die Hal, Albany, 70 deliberate aud express
themselves on tie condition Of the country.
That condition could not well have bceH
worse; for buchanan was st President,

or seized by force and thus transferred
from the Union to tie Slaycholder-' Con
ederacy. Under these c.rcumstances a Dem
ocratic State Convention was held, and Seymour
was one Of its mas,er-spirits. What were the
results Of their de!Iberaiionsi Did they cal.
upon the President Of Their choice 10 enforce
the laws, uphold tie Constitution, and maintain
the integrity OF the Union Dil they warn
their Southern brethren TO stop despolliDg m

charge their neighbors, who were steadfastly
standing by tae Union, with more than half tie
blame OF thete tratorOus dOings Of the Southern
aristocracy, aud propose that we Republican,
should rcnouuce and beiray our principles 10
the hope Of thus brbing the traitors 10 desist
from destroying the country. a. was tearing
down the Government, and they proposed to
stop him by making b. declare that black
which in his soul no believed to be white.
That was Seymour's paDacca for our National
troubes-ttat and nothing else.
Mr.. Seymour made speech on that occa-
sion which his partlsans have just caused TO be
reprinted, an1 arc now sowing broadcast over The
State. OF course, they mean 10 say tha. Mr.
Seymour still holds aud seek, votes upon The
sentiments he thus promulgated. Here are a
part OF them, copied from his eectioncering
pamphlet now being forced into circulation:
