State Affairs. He recommends compensation IA

the rebellion shall be suppressed, aud will not

minds. On the contrary they will, a. their right,
that integrity, intellect, earnestness and vigor
shall be employed in the public service to pre-
serve the Government and maintain the unity of
the country.
BUFFALO, Jan. 7.-Gov. Seymour's message
Is quite lengthy, that part referring 20 National
affairs occupying four ordinary newspaper col
umns He SAYS:
New York has sent since the outbreak of the
war 220. 000 soldiers TO the field Speaking of
the causes of The war. he SAYS: Frightened at the
ruin they have wrought, the authors of the Ca
lamity, both North and South. insist that the war
was caused by the unavoidable contest about
slavery. This has been the subject. not the
cause, OF the controversy We are To look for
the causes of this war in IA prevailing disregard OF
the obligations Of Laws and constitutions, disre-
spect for constitutional authorities, and above all

not TO 1T in harsh judgment upon errors in con

resting on oar people toward our authorities, but
under our political system. There are limita-

sets aside the authority OF the Judiciary and over
rides the laws OF the States. the Governors OF
States met to shape the policy of the General
Government; the National Legislature appoints a
committee TO interfere with the military conduct
of the war. and Senators combine to dictate the

influence the heroic valor of our soldiers and the
skill of our Generals are thwarted.
Not only must the National Constitution be
held invioIate. but the rights of the States mus,
be respected rs not less sacred. There are differ
ences OF opinion as to the dividing line between
State and national jurisdictions: but there can be
none as to the existence of such separate juris

and jurisprudence. and essential to the public
authority and welfare. A consolidated Govern

Gov. Seymour quotes the Constitution in sup
port of this, and saws while States can thus take
away or add To their power, the General Govern
meat can in no way touch one right of States OF
invade their Jurisdiction. He then devotes con
siderable space TO the subject. and presents a body
OF tyrannic acts hat cannot be enlarged; also
that the suppression of journals and the impris

that the attempt has been made to shield these
violations Of law and suppress inquiry, but this
attempt will fail.
