The N. Y. Times very. neatly. hoists
the Governor Of New York out Of his
shoe leatherih the following article:
Gov SEYMouR AND NEGRo S6LBIERs.l-
Gov. Seymour is reported by one of his
party organs 10 have declined an appli-
cation by o committeaof eOlored men, to
aid in the organization of colored reg
iment for active service He did this, il
10 stated, on the ground that @he had
too much sympathy for the blacks to
consent, as the position they must oc-
oupy would be one of extreme danger,
and would lead 10 dreadful and unne-
cessary sacrifice Of life" If Gov. Sew
mour is, indeed, 50 hard puzzled that he
has at last 10 fall back upon such a sub
terfuge, ne can't give in too quickly. Our
people will stand any quantity of, negro
"sojering" sooner than that their Gov
etnor shall cut SO ridiculous figure.
We will not answer for Albany, but in
this latitude the African blood is not
deemed any more precious than other
blood. Its exposure to danger does not
excite whit more sympathy. Us SUBS
lection, even to extreme danger" ava
kens no peculiar compassion, That is a
liability common 20 all soldiers. 1t is,
in fact, the soldiers creed the world over,
we believe, that the post Of danger is the
post of honor, Men that have sOldierly
stuff in them are supposed rather 10 seek
a than to shun IL /; and they would feel
| insulted az receiving COMMUNICATION when
put on dangerous service. If sympathy
is not suitable for. the white soldier,
whatever, his risks, we don't know Why
il should be for the black. Life is quite
az dear TO the former as to the latter, and,
TO saysthe least, as wei woSth the
keeping. -~- fvlvr-yg q IA
The Governor, we suppose, is laboring
with the apprehension that the rebels

soldier, and hang him il they can catch
him. II so, We can tell him thstshis old
political habits are betraying him. The
time has passed when this Government
trGckled 70 Southern threats. Ii black
soldiers can be made useful 10 the Ma
tional cause, they will be employed, and
when employed will be protected. The
Government has both the power and Che
i will to do It. II viii no mOrs be affected
