We print herewith the appeal Of the Repub-
iicqn Union State Committee of CoNNECTcUT
20 the voters of that State, in view Of the
approaching State Election. 1t ia simple, per-
spicuous and forcby presents the true issue
TO be decided at the polls That issue is about
to be emphasized by the nomination Of Col.
Thomas III. Seymour as the Democratic candi-
date for Governor. Between him and Gov.
buckingham, there is that naked aud clear
antagOnism which ought to distinguish rival
candidates in times like these. From the BON.
bardment Of Fort Sumter to this hour, Gov. j.
has thrown his whole soul into the struggle for
National existence. giving his time and his
thoughts almost exclusively TO that struggle,
aud subordinating to it every personal or other
consideration. He has done all that Cover
nor OF Connecticut could or ought to do to ill
the ranks OF the National armies, to mitigate
LOT the sors whom Connecticut has sent to the
hcia The bardships of campaigning, and TO
'.0''o all "uspicious result. Col. Seymour, on
Tue other hand, has opposed and denounced
the war Tor the Union with n fra,knes. o,a
thoroughness which must Command . oor..;,
measure Oh respect. He did not wait to end
Prete4t in "arbtrary arrests - or
emancpating proclamatons; he has re,orted 70
none of tho lodges and subterfuges Of hi,
namesake Of this State; but has conas,,noa
the effort to maintain by force of arms
the authority Of the Union over tho secedod
States as blunder and a crime, not At
all calculated to restore the Union, but

Mr.. Weed has doubtless had his anxieties
and his troubles growing out of the War, with
the best of us, but bis are understood to have
been not without their compensatiOns. While
most Of US have grown poor during its pro-
gress, he is understood to have become rich.
This may be some consolation even for "gray
hairs"
Mr. Weed truly denounccs Slavery as " the
cause }" Of this Rebeon-not cause but
"Me cause" If, then, there be mortal strife
between Slavery aud the Union, Slavery is the
aggressor, and is to be treated accordingly.
1t was Slavery, not the Union, that inau-
gurated this Strife and must DO responsible
for its consequences.
Mr. Weed has too readily adopted the bad
habits Of his new associates in asserting that
we or our friends have discovered ain tie
Presidents Proclamation new policy, which
converts and peryerts the War waged in de-
tense of the Union into crusade agaiDst
Slavery" be- asserts what ia not true, and
what he knows not to be true. The War is
Tor the Union aud its Government, ard only
against Slavery because Slavery insists on pit
ting itself against the Union. Is it not enough
TO desert his old friends without grossly
tradUcing them

ceived into the corps hospital at Aqua Greek
since the late battle. Two hundred wounded
(among them forty officers) were brought in

The zee wounded report great want of assist
ance in the enemy's lines, and some Of them
were obliged to pay rebel officers seven and
eight dollars before the latter would render
them assistance. The wounds of many have
not been attended well, and In some cases mag.
gots have been dug out almost by the handful.
They were poorly provided for even with what
was furnished and sent over from our own
