Governor Seymour.

Governor seymour, the great ara SHIN
ing light of the " conservatives" and cop
perheads, said in one of his speeches
g If SLdUsry must be destroyed to preserve the
Union, then III people Of the South should per-
united to WITHDRAW THEMSELVES PROM TIE USIoN.''
That is, "Let the Union perish to save
slavery-Slavery is of more value than
the Union-when the interests of hand
ful of slave drivers come in collision with
those Of the whole American people the
people must bow before the slave drivers
1t is of more Importance that the negro
be held as a slave, than than the nom
shareholders be treemen." Such is the
plain, straightforward meaning of Horatio
Seymour, the conservative Governor of
New York, and the idol of that ranting,
scurrillous, crackbrained negro-worship-

per whose malice and diAoyalty increase,
as years increase its imbecihty.
But what say the loyal millions who
have sent their kindred to the battlefield
to fight for the Union What says the
Army of the Potomac I-the Army of the
Mississippi !-and last, shall we say the
most glorious of all-the Army of the

in all their atrocity: " If slavery must be

people of the South should be permitted

What would loyal men say OF Pennsyl-

- Sir, II you cannot save the Union with
out destroying some OF my sons, must be

the peculiar natu.s Of the power here e1-

the peculiar nature of the power here ex-
ercised-oi the fact that the legislature
has often exerted it, both at the periods
prescribed by the constitution and at 9th
er times, that it is one Intimately con
nected with the political organization of
the law making department of the State,
that lts exercise by each county board
might, and probably would, lead to con.
fusion, conflicts and fragrant injustice.
that OF all the mass OF statutes now la
force, none outside the one in question
conveys the least intlmation of legislative
Intention TO leave TO county boards the
arrangement of assembly districts, but
the contrary idea has been, If not express
sed, at least often acted upon,-upon all
the considerations, it Is safe to say that
the power delegated to county boards to
change town boundaries Is coupled with
an Implied condition, that 1t should not be
used SO as to alter the assembly districts.
In the particular case under considera-
ton there exists another reason of great
force for holding the act OF the board to
be null. The general authority given to
the county boards may at any time be re-
voked wholly or in part by the Legislature
which exercises supreme control over
the whole subject, bearing to the in
ferior body relation similar in this re-
spect to that of principal TO the agent
And 1t seems clear that special and COM
plete regulation of the subject by the su-
perior is such an indication of its Iinal will
as is binding on the inferior. By the act
OIL last winter the supreme law-making
power OF the State, acting upon this very
case, made disposition OF it, which must
be regarded as decisive aud ultimate ex-
preston of the legislative will, conclusive
upon all the inhabitants of the state, and
therefore SO Tar revocation of any aU-
thorlty previously given to the Jefferson
county supervisors to regulate the matter.
This conclusion Is hot weakened even if il
be conceded that the boards derive their
power from the people through the con-
and not from the legislature
On many subjects the national and state
have concurrent authority, but
specific action in such matter by the
former (Which is supreme) is held TO ex-
clude further regulation OF the same cub.
]ect by state authority. No stronger case
than the present could be shown for the
application of this doctrine. The remark
able anomaly of county officers claiming
authority under the Legislature of 1858 to
repeal an enactment of the legislature of
1868, Is so startling as to seem nearly alb
surd, and cannot, L apprehend, be sane
toned by the judicial tribunals.
The order OF the board of supervisors is
IN my judgment void, and should be dis
regarded. WINFIELD SMITH.

FROM the Albany Ilules ana Courl
1t makes but little difference whether the Con.
stitution is overthr own by rebels in arms, by
those who have been placed in power for the pur-
pose of preserving it. The State Of Ne,o York. at
least, aoiH not make ftsey party to this conspira
cy 6y placing and money an the hands OF the
conspardtors. 1t is in her power to reverse this
unrghteous decree.
On the above the Albany Journal COM
ments as follows:
Those who have purposed to be false to
friends or country are never at a loss for a
reason. Treachery and treason are pro-
life in apologies.
Ii, In this case, ii were not Vallandig-
ham, it would be something else. The
Administration was denounced as roundly
two years since as It is to-day. The call
for 5000 troops was declared a "usur-
patton OF power" which the people should
resist. The arrest of Vailandigham is no
more harshly spoken of.
W hen the Federalists of 1912 opposed
the Government and the war, reasons for
their treason were ''plenty as black ber-
rles." When they withheld "men and
money, as their successors now threaten
to do, they justified themselves in long
columns OF vltuperation and abuse OF the
Administration and the armies. 1t looks
as II the country was to pass through q
like ordeal now.
Gov. Seymour, in his letter to the VAL
landlgham meeting, sounded the keynote
In his declared purpose to "PAUSEn in

HOLD MEN AND MONEY" FROM
THE GOVERNMENT. "The State of
New York will not make itself d party to
this conspiracy by placing men and money
in the hands OF the conspirators.''
But the Governor and the Democratic
leaders will "pausen before they execute
what is here threatened. The intimation,
however, is none the lees infamous; and
its utterance demands such an expression
of public sentiment as will teach those
who entertain the thought, that, with or
Dlth0Ht their c0-operat.On, New York
soitE not be false to her duty in this hour

those who are entrusted with the duty of
prosecuting the war and restoring the
Union; that she will not even pause in
her patriotic purpose to exhaust all her
resources, II needs be, TO crush out the
Rebellion and to punish Treason.
With or without official cooperation,
the People will sec to it that New York
is not delinquent. They are themselves

and what they are and what they have
