IL THIS LOYALTYt

just here than almost anywhere else in the
Free States, because of the intimate and long
continued commercial as well as political rela-
tiOns between our city and the Slave region.
They do not by any means embrace the whole
Demeratic party, but the great body of them
have usually acted with that party, ard still
adhere to it, And when We say that every
voter among them will support lloratio
Seymour for Governor, we state what every
intelligent person knows to be the naked truth.
We have number OF journals in this city,
which are Just as favorable TO the SccessionIsts
they dare be- and every one of them is red
mouthed for Seymour. We have well known
politicians whose hearts are in Dixie aud who
chucke over every Union defeat and every
man of them is for Seymour. We have one
great hotel which is the notorious rendezvous
and Headquarters Of Rebel emissar.es and SYM
pathizers visiting our city, and it viii poll IFS
every vote for Seymour. We have ut least
one Member Of Congress who has openly aud
everywhere championed the cause Of the Rebels,
and he is hot for Seymour, and expects to be-
reelected on the Seymour ticket; And there
ia not human being anywhere able to count
forty who does not know that the election of
Seymour would be exultcd over throughout
jeff. Dayiss dominions az proof tina, the
North was tired Of the War aud anxious 10
sneak out Of il on almost any conceivable terms,
just as in Maine, at her feceni election, votes
were openly sought for bradbury the Demo-
cratic candidate Tor Governor on the as,umP.
ton that his election would be- tho hnrbnger
Of Peace.
Under these auspices, Ilorstio Sey mourAppears
before a Convention which has just nominated
him for Governor of our State, and make. a
speech of which nine-tenihs will be read through.
out the Rebel States with unalloyed delight.
Its whole drift tends 10 encourage treason and
paralyzc the nrms Of those who strike for the
Union. The action Of our Government is criti-
csed in the worst spirit though the triumphant
the Federal city and formidable invasion OF
the Free States when that speech was uttered.
The weakness and Irro,oluiion of the Executive
department of our Government Is dWelt upon
and exaggerated, but not with view 10

contrary, that fatal hesitation TO grapple with
Slavery, the arch Rebel, the melting cause OF
oil our calanties, which has been the chief
error Of the Executive, ia commended and
glored IN by Mr.. Seymour. He pours con.
tempt on the Administration for all it has done
and earnestly sought 10 do to sustain the
Union; its shortcomings alone command biz
appreciation. And, While be is melting the
President 10 resist and DEFY an important law
of the land-that which declares tho freedom
Of all persons held in Slavery by Rebels-ttis
consummate demagogue has the impudence to
say OF us, who insist that erery law shall be
enforced and obeyed, that

Who copH believe, were not the evidence
ndubtabe, that this man and his whole party
are now yehemently contending that the aw
which absolyes Unonists from slavery to Reb-
els shall be- di,rcgardri and defed by the very
President who officially approved it Let us give
one exhibition Of the radical dishonesty of this
demagogue. The great body Of the Republican
party most earnestly demand Of the men they
have placed in power that since Slavery has
struck at the unity aud lilo of the Republic,
the Republic shall strike at the life of Slavery.
We do most earnestly believe that SO only can
the War for the Union be waged effectively and
brought to speedy triumphant close We
hate to kill the poor, Ignorant ragamuflins
whom this wicked Rebellion has torn from their
homes by conscription and set in the front
ranks Of the tratorous hosts; We prefer to
strike directly at the naughty, intelligent arts
tocracy who coined the yillainous lies whereby
these poor men were perverted into enemies OF
their own country and Of the efforts we are
making to transform theirs into a land
of Free Labor. Free Schools. and Free
Men. SO far from cherishing the least
i'll will toward the South, we seek
to cure her Of the most malignant cancer that
ever inflicted torture and threatened death.
We believe that General Emancipation by the
action of the Government, 30 far from leading
to general rapine and murder, will surely pre-
vent them both. Slave insurrections are apt
to be sanguinary, because the slave has no
choice but to conquer or die. "1be world is
not his friend, nor the worlds law" But tell
freedom, and requires lin to quit serving
traitor as his slave and betake himself to the
nearest Union post, there to find employment
