 But, we arc sometimes told that the con |scription law is unconstitutional. because it takes the power of appointing officers out of tho hands of the Governors of the States. This objection, however, is not very strongly nrged just now, because it happens that Governor Buckingham at present fills the Executiv Chair, and with ong probability of hlling it for the naxt year at least. But were 1t possible that Tom Seymour should ever be our Governor again, we suppose we should Ii ear this objection raised then, with great deal of the same bitterness with which other ob iections are urged. The objection is frivolous. The corscripts will either be placed in the old regiments, which arc offered by men who hold iheir commissions from the Governors of tho States, or they will be organized into separate bodies, oficered as provided by the Constitu ion. @
 Finally, we hear it said, and sung, and harped upon, by the Copperheads, every day, that eff Tom Seymour is elected, thero will De no draft This assertion is so ridiculous that it scarce needs sober rcfutation. In the first place, there is no great probability that |there srill be any draft made in Connecticut, scAoersr is elected Governor this Spring. We have already more than filled our quotas under aN the calls. and have several hundreds to spare. If transcription takes place at all, it will take effect in those States which are yet deficient in their quota of volunteers. Eut, if draft under this law ever should take eff feet in Connecticut, wouldn't it be better that it should take place under the watchful eye of such Governor as VIM. A. BUCKINGHAM, who, ersry body knows, would take care of the interests and the rights of ,ich and poor, Re publicans and Democrats, alike, than under such worthless partisan as Thomas H. Sey- mour? 70.
 As to the idea that Tom Seymour, if elected Governor, would resist draft in Connecticut, it is too absurd to barely mention to the most ignorant. If the United States Government wants more men from Connecticut, to carry on this war for Freedom and the Union, it can have them, voluntarily and willingly. But if she shouldn't or wouldn't send more men if wanted, and Q draft were ordered, Tom Sey- mour or any other man, would have as good a time resisting it as man would in trying to butt locomotive of railroad track. The United States Government, with 10000 men which she has now in the feld,under command of such man as Gen. Ben. Butler, could run all over Connecticut, and hold it, and all New England with it, in the divided state of our parties at home, and could pick out just as many men, and just from where they pleased as were wanted. We have already described
 in these columns what scenes would be wit messed here, at our very homes, did traitors openly dare defy and resist the laws of the land and Tom Seymour e-why, Tom Sey- mour would be knocked into such an infinite number of infnitesimal pieces, that even his best friends would be able to recognize this sweet patriot, this modest gentleman, this model Governor, this complete letter writer, this gentle peace man, this osar friend of the Soath--never any more
