The weekly Butte record., 1863-08-01
Governor Seymour.

The falsifyi0g, and reasonable abolition
organs Of California, beaded By the Sacramento
Union. denounce the speech delivered By Gov.
Seymour in the city Of New York, on the 4th
of July, as a" Copperhead speech" and Gov.
Seymour as a Copperhead and disloyal
Governor. In the speech which these senseless
radicals condemn, Gov. Seymour tells his au-
dience, that he has spent the time. since ac-
cepting their invitation " to rally our troops
to the assistance of au adjoining sister State"
He had sent twenty regiments to the assistance
Of Pennsylvania, and yet the Sacramento
Union states the fact that an adjoining State
e had called earnestly on New York for assist
auce," leaving its readers to infer that the call
was not responded to. At the time Pennsyl-
Yania was invaded by the rebels. Gov. Curtin
called upon the adjoining States for assistance,
and the only States that responded were the
Democratic States of New York and New
Jersey. Not a State that is controlled BY the
aboitionists, with whom the bogus and lying
Union party act, sent man or a gun 10 the
assistance Of Pennsylvania. We are speaking
now Of the militia that turned out to repel the
invasion Of Pennsylvania. And yet, because
Governor Seymour did not vapor in 4 Fourth
of July Address against rebellion. that he has
sent hundreds of thousands of men TO put
down, and equally silly stuff in favor Of the
negro freedom policy of the Administration,
these abolition sheets denounce him as "Cop
perhead and disloyal Governor"
We trust in God that these foul abolition
scabs upon the body polite Of California, have
deceived our patriotic and intelligent people
for the last time. They know if the people
are permitted TO understand the true issue, that
the negro exalting party of California will be
repudia;ed, as beneath the contempt of every
man who has intelligence sufficient to remain
citizen of a constitutional Government.
No true patriot can ever forget or repudiate
the position Of Governor Seymour iu his In
augural Address. He said then;
There is but one way of saving Us from de-
moralizaton, discord, and reputation. Our
Union must be restored, complete in all its
parts. No section must be disorganzed. be.
yond the unavoidable necessities of the war.
All must be made 10 feel that the mighty
efforts we are making to save our Union are
stimulated by purpose to restore peace, pros
perity, and happiness to every section.
The vigor of the war vii! be increased When
the public mind and energies are concentrated
upon the patriotic, generous purpose to restore
our Union for the common good of all sections.
| 1t cannot be so united upon any bloody, any
barbarouS and revolutionary, or any unconsti-
tutional scheme, looking merely to the gratif-
cation Of hatred. or purposes Of party ambition.
or sectional advantage Every exertion of
power, every Influence of persuasion. every
measure OF reconciliation. must be used to
restore this Union to its former condition.
Let no one demand that the blood of bis
neighbor shall be she'd that the fruits of the
labor of cur citizens shall be eaten up by tax
alton, to gain this end, and then refuse to give
up his own passions. or to modify his own
opinions, to save our own country ard to stop
the fearful waste we are now making of treas
ure and of life. Let no one think that the
people who have refused to Yield this Union
to rebellion at the South will permit It's resto-
ration to be prevented by fanaticism at the
North.
