1t is now pretended that Seymour is war
candidate, and has steadfastly sustained the
Government in the great struggle forced upon
it by SlavehOlding treason. Just hear how he
talked on this point in his speech of Jan. 3. 1861:

last To that should have accepted at tho outset'
We quote these passages from the speech,
az just reprinted in The AtbcHy Argus, as an
exposition Of Mr.. Seymour's present position
and views. From beginning to end that
speech is condemnation OF the policy oil
maintaining the Union as against the Slave
holding Rebels by force. Ii is cunning
lawyers apology for treason grounded IN abuse
Of the LOYAL aud law-abiding. IL ia hack
ofiice-seeker's demonstration that :" the Union,
the Constitution, and the enforcement of the
Laws" means devotion to Slavery, aud that
the laws are not TO be enforced against slave
holding traitors No man who holds the fun
damental doctrines OF Mr.. Seymour lie or can
be a hearty supporter of the War. For he
manifestly believes the Rebels more sinned
against than SHINING. Ills way of putting down
the Rebellion is by dvesting of all substantial
power those whom the People have placed IN
authority and virtually installing the Rebels in
their places. His policy would abolish crime
by putting all the judges, sheriiis aud police
men into jail, and letting burglars and other
ielons have everything their own way. He
does not mean 10 put down the Rebes-does
not hold that they should be put down, but
bought of, and thus encouraged 10 rush into
revolt whenever an Anti-Slayery President
may be elected, even though with their own
conniyance. A vote Tor Seymour is vote to
lay the country bound aud bleeding at the feet
Of the Rebels, begging them to satate their
vengeance, but spare, if possible, the victims
life. And this is why every s!mpathizer with
the Rebellion in our State VIII work and vote
for iIoratio Seymour.
