not word of encouragement for the faithful
soldier exposing his life for us but gushing,
eXuberant torrents of words in rebuke of the
authorities conducting the war, and in dispar-
agement of the doings of our armies. Like
the miserable wretch of Scotchman whom
Patrick Henry skinned for going about in the
| hurricane of the old revolution CRYING out
'Beet, beet" Horatio Seymour, in this pro-
| founder moment of his countrys destiny, in
terrupts the shout of battle with his poor, pit
| iful screech of "Vallandigham! Vallandig-
| hamT'
! But the meanest part of this mcanest of per-
| tormanceS, perhaps, was the sueer in which
the speaker tried to indulge at the expense of
the administrations ''When | accepted your
| invitation to speak" he said, with Il smrk,
we were promised by this day (the 4th,) the
| downfall of Vicksburg the opening of the
Mississippi, and the probable capture of the
confederate capital and the exhaustion of the
| rebellion" Nobody. ever made such prom
Use, which was pure invention of the orator;
but if anybody had made it, and the actual
truth of things had been known at the time,
this cold-blOoded and venormous hiss would
have been MS destitute of cause as it was full
OF mallgnity. Even at the very hour in which
the critic was exciting his audience to jeers,
greater events had taken place than have yet
been recorded in the history Of this country.
A battle equal in magnitude to that Of Water
loo. but more pregnant of consequences, had
just been closed in the total route of an ex-
perlenced and powerful army; a siege of
vaSter proportions than that Of Sebastopol,
preceded by "A campaign which for cierity and
dash, recalls the first days of Napoleon in
Italy, and conducted with wonderful military
persistency and skill to the final uncondilion-
u .,,f
pregnable, and OF its entire army and the
successful pursuit of third army larger than
Frederick the great ever commanded, INTO the
mountains of Alahama-iheSe were the glori-
Gus deeds which gave new ustre and Il more
perennial glory to the fourth OF July. Any
one OF those events might have justly iWmnr-
tallzed the records OF any administration, and
might nave won a deathiess renOwn for any
army; but they could not extort word of
expectation, a 81 liable OF solicitude, lot of
sympathy from the lips of Horatio Seymour.
He could sneer at those who were using their
utmost abilities to achieve these immortal ends
lie could even bubble as tn their conduct
and lnSlnuate suspicious as to their motives,
but lie could not open his mind or his heart
to the grandeur Of the hour in which God per
mts him to live. Thersites, not Achilles, is
bis model; the petty politics of the taproom
siderat0ns of craftsmanship: and the balanc-
ing Of the small probabilities of personal sue
cess more deeply interesting than the ire
mendous arbtraments of nations
