Onion and the supremacy Of the Constitution and
the laws over the whole national domain; that
in this crisis all political differences should be
laid aside TO give the Government generous sup
port; that the Administration il entitled tospccial
thanks for its patriotism and energy in prose
cutting the war; that Gov. Seymour and all
who act with him in embarrassing the Govern
ment deserve The seyerest reprehcnsCn; that
peace can come only through the submission Of
those in arms agovist the Government, and that
we will consent TO no peace involving separa'
ton or the right Of Secession, &c.
The feeling in Syracuse is enthusiastic, and
the ratification meeting TO be held to-day Is ca
pected TO be the greatest affair OF the KIND
known for years.
