Mr.. SEYxorR, in his speech accepting the nom
inat;on for Governor. rendered him by the De
mocracy OF New York. remarked that the Repub
lictns we're not fitted 70 carry on the Government
This he illustrated by stating that they approved
Of the formation OF impertnent meddling com
mi,,ees. who push themselves into the very coun-
sells of our rulers. They propose 10 organize men
outsids the authority Of Law and the constituted
authorities.
A few DAYS ago We noticed that self const
tuted intermeddlng committee had gone from
this State to thrust their advice upon the Presi
dent and 10 propose setting up an independent
prosecution of the war outside Of the constituted
Authorities of the nation. The Lafayette Courie
thus noticed the meider's proposition:

countering Lee and bis desperate lesions The
proposition was we'll considered and fully matured
before IL made. The decision OF the Presi
dent has not been rendered. but grave fears are
entertained Tor the fate OF the proposition.
The telegraph of the associated press. which
appeared in yesterday mornings paper, says that
Governor MoRrox's commissioners met with a
decided rebuke. We quote:
Senator Line and other prominent lndianians

regiments of this State, and select the General

considerable amount Of money out OF an opera
ton Of this kind. But tie Governor was no
satisfied with being the royal satrap of Indiana
King Oliver the First of all Hoosierdom-but h,
desired to add Kentucky to mis- dominicns. Th'
special Washington dispatches to the Cincinnati
Gosefs. dated the llth. have the following il
reference to the meddling committee:
