length what he ~sed "the mistakes Of the war"
took up the qW .stions more Immediately ut issue

Administration during those wars, AID yet be ioys'
and true 10 the country. But now domestic Rebels
and traitors were striking at the life OF the public

81 ere was no such tcuablc ground being for the
Government in the abstract, while opposed to Il 10
coUcl eted in the Administration of Abraham Lam
colu. Hence, lie who was not for vigorous prOee-
cuton of the war and the salvation Of the country
under the present Administration, was practically
| gainst the Government and Tor the Rebellion.
For Mr.. Lincoln Is tue living type and authorized
Representative of the Government, and his sdminis-
traiion must continue two and ha1 years longer.
Therefore, he who will not cordially help 10 save

wears and half from this date aim to overthrow
Tue present Republican Administration, and place
the Democracy in power by force OF arms. And u
| j. fpht here, raid Mr.. Stanton that encounter
lIoIaio Seymour. He has said in substance, in bis
recent impair otto speech, that no party except the
Democracy, can save the Union. Then, II must D.
given up in despair for the Democratic party liz itself
| h. peess and helpless. Mr.. Stanton eaid lie had
known both Gov. Seymour and Gen Wadsworth
many years. and been their intimate political nssoci
ate in numerous struggles. lie believed Mr.. Seymour
had said, at the time, that few men IN tie State did
more, twelve years ago, TO place hin IN non inaion
ior Governor, than he. But, he il Joined TO his
idols. Like the Bourbons, be belongs 10 that class
f politicians who never forget anything, and never
learn auything-men who pride Themselves upon
their consistency aud think, because they said aud
did and so dozen years ago, therefore they ought
to say and do just the now. Gov. Seymour
cratic party TO its ancient prestge and power lie
might as well Try TO uneaf,h the dead body
of julius Caesar, or bring Dives up from
bis subtefrRnean abode. Every month now carrios
on it's shoulders events whose weight IN times OF
peace ould have caused decade of years 20 bend.
Gov. s. does hot appreciate the startling fact that
we are in the mids, VI "a Revolution whose throcs
will enguIph the dead pat and all lis persistent and
incorrgible vo,ares. He has linked bis fortunes

longs 10 the living present. 10 The WORKOUT Pro-
Slavery Democracy, be says: Let the dead bury
their cead. He represents aud reflects the uncoIn
promising loyalty Of the country. Honost, iAt,l-
gent, liberal, braye-he is candidate worth
voting for aud wor.h working for. Mr.
Stanton said be had known him long
and well. No truer man existed ou the lace Of tie
g.ole. In The darkest night that ever hung its pal
over tue world, II u were necessary TO lev your
hand upon the spot where james ;. Wgdsw orth
ought to be, yon might stake your lite upon finding
him there lie N The soul OF honor--the euh oll-
ment OF duty. Gen. Wordsworth not only tho
friend of MS country. and the ice OF the Rebellion
but IN t1i contest he vas the representative Of the
Government, and therefore entiltsd to Oh. support
OF all true and loyal citizens. Mr. :. continued TO
warmly eul0gizc Gen. dsvorth, and coutust his
Iosition with that Of Gov. Seymour-ihe audience
responding with the Heartbeat cheers. lie also be-
slowed high encOmiuIns upon Judg IIenaIn, de-
Glazing that be brought great tleogth 70 the ticket
from the genuine Democracy Of the State. lie Pre-
dieed the ticket would he elected by an overwhorn-
lug majority. After discussing some other points,
and e1pecillly vindioatng the " radicals from the
charge brought against them, MIR. 5. refun.ed his
seat amid loud applause.
Mr.. SrlSTos's remarks were received Throughout
with demonstrations Of approval, especially hif VIM
dicaiion OF the word radical >" and his statement

OF Rebels.

eloquent speech in favor II the Republican Union /
War candidate for Governor. The SPEAKER indalg,d
Ia sOme interesting "reminiscences Of Seymour's
career, showing that he had opposed the application
of the Jeilersonisn ordinance OF Freedom Whenever
il had COME Up. Nothing would moro rejoice JET. /

times, and yet support the Government.
