Governor Seym0Ur,

Letter-wrtIng has been the DEATH politl-
caly, of Gov SEYMOUR. If he had any
character for patriotism left after his late
passage with the President, it has been de-
stroyed by his correspondence with Gen. DIX,
just made public. From this correspondence
it appears that the responsibility for the
presence of United States troops in New
York rests entirely with Gov. SEYMOUR. If
he had complied with the request of Gen.
DIX for State troops, no others would have
been employed.
The correspondence is published by Gen.
DIX, in answer to the complaints by the Cop
perhead Journals of New York at the presence
Of the soldiers in the city. 1t only
shows that the soldiers were only sent thither
after Gov. SEYMOUR had de lined to furnish
any protection to the off GERS of the law
against another outbreak of his conservative
friends" but it also shows that it is Gov. SEY-
MoUR's fault if the Army of Virginia lies
still upon the defensive. " His dubious and
injudicious course, and that alone" says the
Post, " made it necessary to detach twenty or
thirty thousand men from Gen. MEADE, to be
quartered in this city and the surrounding
suburbs. The secessionists and rebel agents
who stirred up the riot in July did not gain
much by that act but they can report to
Richmond that, with the help of Gov. SEY-
MOUR they did effect something-namely, the
withdrawal of army corps from the Army
of the Potomac. If any misfortune should
happen to that army now; if LEE should be
al1 n crair vic NV cf fl,o nit
drawal of troops hither-the country will
blame for such a mischance no one but Gov
SEYMOUR and his advisers and helpers"
