ANAlNbT u.

EA Gov. SEYMOUR, OF COSSEcnCur.--Tbs
present position Of our affairs is no. only dis
covering the Northern rebels, but 10 giving
them boldness and c1ursgs. 10 The beginning,
the South depended upon iioided North, and
was sadly disappointed when they discovered
their mistake; but u year . conflict has changed
the aspect Of affairs. We have dealt so ten
dsrly with the enemy, that they have risen
into Importance, and their cause hes assumed q
shsps 20 favorable, that their Northern friends
are gradually throwing on the mask, and are
organizing systematic opposition, which can.
not fall to make itself disastrously felt, unless
II is instantly crushed.
The meeting Of the rebel sympaihlzsrs al
the Cooper Institute, 10 New YoIk, was the
hrst public demonstration, and now We have q
letter from Ex.GOv. Seymour, Of Connecticut,
rs bold, defiant, and reasonable as Bsnnett's
Herald, and this will be followed by others,
who are now secretly comprising the ruin Of
the country.
The recent call of the President for more
troops aroused the people Of Connecticut, and
they have, thus far, noby sustained the call, by
enthusiastic public meetings, TO take measures
for raising their quota ol men, At the recent
spirited war meeting In Hartford, which was
attended by men Of all parties, the name Of
Ex.Gov. Seymour was placed In the list Of
Vice presidsn's. He has written asd printed
an Indignant letter, stating that bis name was
used without bis consent, and that he psrticu
lsrly desires to clear himself from any partici
patton, directly or indirectly, In what took
place al the meeting.
His letter closes thus:
1.-THE meeting, II l have not misundsrs,ood
It's general bearing, 10 one which ignorss pssoa
ful remedies OF any sort. as u means of restorinr
the Union, and calls loudly for men and means
