IL IL No Longer Glory 40 Die for ones
Country s-GOyernor seymour and inc
Trniicrous Governors OF 1861.
To aie Editref The l. Tribune.
SIR: The sentiment has been in all ages universally
ucuca'cd as well in tie eagieot Lesson OF Inc iolhei
10 the child az in the teaching OF the pIes the PM
losopher. and tLe statesman, that !, IL sweet and
noble TO die for ones country-tnat the LOVE or
COUNTRY is inferior only TO the love OF Con; and
that TO die for ones country Ii a death only lees
precious than 10 die for Divine Faith.
But we have now Governor Of New-Yorh, j,
sppesrs from HoTa,i0 Seymoufs la,e letter TO 'he
President, VINO, when ,he paramount authorities
summon every man to take his chance Of life or
death III doieuse OF the Imperfect nation, has Lot Il
word Of cheer OF enooura. ement, not one noble or
manly utteranoe for the country but Ike renegade
and sneak whiues most p1eously over tho harsh
ness of such demand, and can see nothiug IN lis
operation but distress and " burdens iDtOlerabe.
The summons il not TO him summons 20 honor and
duty but hoare call to II dreadful lottery Of
life" The daft, n his eyes ID bat tie machinery
OF death and the letter upon letter Of dcpreca'ion,
demonstration and dsloyaI protest, which he pub
fishes respecting il, are such a might lead one TO
suppose that the people were being aiken by lot to
be subjected TO cuel and ignomioous death,
instead of beng called 10 the performance Of the
roblc.t and hoe-t duty 10 which cu4eu can be
sannnoned-tbe defense Of his country.
But Horario Seymour knows beltertha he writes
aDd publishes. IL is beet TO be plain with him.
Id by ignoble instincts AMI Il vile ambition, be
afp,res 10 distinction among the CaIiiines vi his
county. What ne enemies OF the Republic have
done ut tie South, be and hs eo-conspraors hero,

the Government, hoping 10 excite susp con sud
hatred Of it in the hearts Of the people and 10 render
them rips for riot and treason. VINO thLt reads bis

oynl Governors TO Abraham L.ncolBs call upon
the States IN 1861 for 10 600 men
Gov Seymour's avowals Of hostility 10 the dfal
are not, II il true in all respects quite up TO III,
omen treason Of the oontemftuous rc.uslls OF The
Governors Of 1861. But be Is AZ nearly on level
with them as be yet dares 10 be. In substance aud
effect lie attempts "a great, perhaps greater injury
to the national cause than they did; aud biz MEL
aces, though more covert, are not lees Ineligible
than theirs and considering the CIRCUMSTANCES, they
are quite in-olent and ouinous. III 10 true thht
the Government and people both took warning
The plot is more deep and more powerfully worked
than most OF us aware.
