N If we comprehend these words, we
must say that the loyal men of this State,
do see reason why this war should be
kept up vigorously, and that the Union
must be preserved from the assaults OF
traitors There is no reason, we admit,
on the side of the rebels, for prolonging
the war. In pleasing contrast to this
speech, we publish the following remarks
Of Mr.. SEYMOUR, Governor elect Of New
York, whose abilities probably entitle
him TO be regarded as the leader of the
Democrotic party. We quote from his
speech delivered in Brooklyn. lie held
similar language at other points and on
other occasions during the canvass:

this moment the destinies, the honor and
the glory of our country hang poised upon
the conflict in the battlefield. recog-

Therefore, we tell You, and the whole |
world, that this great conservative party |
will rear up the shattered columns of the |
Union. We toiH rear u higher up, still near

These are truly cheering and patriotic |
words.
When Mr.. Seymour was first put in
nomination, the nature Of the declarations |
with which he accepted the honor was
thus described by the New York Evening |
Post, one of the most intelligent Repub- |
licsn journals. After remarking on the
signs of popular dissatisfaction with the |
Administration, ii said
1t is the fault Of the Administration |
that this change has come about If it had |
used energy, If il had been awake TO the |
mOmentous crisis of our affairs, if it had |
been euecessful, all parties would still be |
rAHying around it, While the question
of rs efficiency was still an open one,
party leaders cry in vain TO the people
but their cries are beginning to be heard.
Mr.. Lincoln and his followers in the |
Government cannot complain of this
The speech of Governor Seymour at AL |
bany is full of patriotic expressions lie |
ayo,0s plainly and aJnndantly his devotion 10
ihe Uaion and the Consolidation; and when
lac complains of the conduct Of affairs
for the past year, by way of jus,ifying
tho present attitude Of the Democratic |
party, we must own that his complaints
are just aud fair.
On, then, with the Union hosts, and the
Union flag, until we again have zone coun-
try, and one Constitution" united in one |
glorious destiny, whose future splendor
no mortal Imagination can depict.
