COW SEYMOUR AND TREASON.

COY. SEYMOUR AND TREASON.
No one who has watched the career Of
Gov Seymour, from the first day Of his APP
pointment as Chief Magistrate of New
York State, down to the late riots, and
compares his official action with his politi-
cal anteccdents, and his well known SYM
t,atby with the rebels, will doubtfor mo-
tnent that he is traitor both TO the Ad-
ninistrat1on and the Republic, From first
to last, he has been the unscrupulous op-
ponent Of Mr. Lincolnfs government,
doing his utmost, on all occasions, to
thwart his projects and cripple the opera
tons Of the war; lending his sanction and
approval to the mad speech and insurTec-
tionary projects Of the Copperhead party,
daring even to parade the strength Of this
party before the very eyes Of the Govern
ment, with q view to inti1nidate its coun-
eels and coerce its action, boldly proclaim
ing the doctrine Of State Sovereignty; and
the right of secession, whilst the whole
nation was in arms to resist these perni-
cious and taitorous heresies against the
Constitution. and the integrity Of the
Union. >s
AL these facts, and hundred others, OF
equal enormity, are patent, and Will con-
stitute apart Of the public indictment
which must before long be preferred against
him, and bring him to trial before the tri-
bunals Of the country. It is impossible,
that the treasonous acts Of this man, in
vestedas he Is with such fearful power
and authority, for good, or for evil, 3 power
which.he has universally exercised hitherto
for thefnterests Of his party, and the cause
ofthe rebels, can much longer be permitted
to remain unchallenged, and unpublished.
One would think that the loyal citizens Of
the great State Of New York-and es.
pecially Of the Empire city itself-wou1d
have been reused as one man, after his dis
graceful and treacherous conduct during
the late riots, to demand his removal and
impeachment. So apathetic, however, is
loyalty in TINT city and State, and in many
other cities and States, too, alas! that re
do not believe that any action would have

knew how Imminent, nay, how absolute,
and certain, were the dreadful riots which
involved that magnificent and proud city
in an indiscriminate massacre, and gen

his appearance upon the scene OF these
appalling tragedies, he poured out his soul
in sympathy with the bloody miscreants
who had brought this horror and ruin
upon the Capital, calling them "his
