and manly policy, BY our Government

two thirds Of the war debt by the pro-

The Government could easily conlsc8tc
six hundred millions Of dollars worth Of
property, 10 lands, buildings, mills, fac
tories, stock, railroads, etc, in rebellion,
and still leave great many rebels, in
easy circumstances, while not one dollar

from the poor, who were deceived, or
coascripled into the ranks Of She Con-

from two thousand 20 seven thousand
acres Of fine land belonging 70 rebels, in
this vicinity, worth from $50, to SlOO'
per acre. Why should these not be sub
divided into small farms, and sold by the
Government for the benefit Of the Treas
ury? We must teach the people that
treason is pecuniarly ruinous to the
traitors, and we must also show the 10y

Governor seymour A Traitor.

Governor Seymour, the great and

"D Slavery must be destroyed 10 pycseyr,
the Union, dt,a the p qple Of The South 5b0uk

THE UNION"
That is, "Let the Union perish TO save
slavery--Slsvery is of more value thar
the Union-whcn the interests Of o
handful of slave drivers come in collision
with those Of the whole American people
the people must bow before the slave
drivers--It is Of more importance tina
the negro be held as a slave, than tina,
the non Shareholders be freomon." Such

Governor of New York, and the idol If

loyalty increase, as years increase its
imbecility.
But what say the loyal millions whc
have sent their kindred to the battlefield
to fight for the Union? What says The
Army of the Potomac ?--the Army of the
Mississippi ?-and last, shall we say the
most glorious of all--the Army Of the
Cumberland? Men and brethren, what
think you of the kissing of this cold
blooded serpent which lies coiled up in
the Governors seat in New York, ano
which Southern conservatives call on you
to worship? Consider the words again
in all their atrocity: "If slavery must
be destroyed to preserve the Union, then
the people of the South should be per-
mitted to Withdraw themselves from the
Union" What would loyal men say of
Pennsylvania if she was to say to the
President; Sir, if you cannot save the
Union without destroying some Of my
sons, must be permitted TO withdraw
myself from the Union" All would cry !:
"Treason treason 2! And if Pennsyl-
yania may not even withhold her noble
children, but sacrifice them if the coun-
try bids her so TO do, shall we, of the
South, refuse to give up a few miserable
Olaves, when all are beginning to confess
that slavery is the cause and origin Of the
rebellion? Common sense convicts Sey-
mour Of treason.

How perfectly absurd to hear these

a justification of their conduct in iden-
