Seymour eAaagsl his views since thsn? Let us do him ths jastics-eeor we believe in giving even his Satanic M ajesty his due-to say he has not. Ha has been thoroughly coa:istelt from that day to this, and that Is more than some of those who sup port him nov can crow, with equal truth.
 Oar readers are already aware what opinions T. H. Seymour expressed, and what wosls he used, at meeting of coppsrhcaas oa the 10th of this present mouth, held in the city of Hart ford. We gave them, in full in last weeks l ENQUIRER, but let us cull few ''beaatifal ex ! tracts" from them now, for our further malita- tion. He said:
 | "A year ago, free speech was denied us, Ttraitors] but now, thank God, we can say what we please regarding our rulers in Wash l ington. [S. tells the truth, according to his doctrine ,ohea i's safe. The Government, gave solemn pledge not to reinforce Fort Sumter To falshood te start with A little l waiting there, c little longer delay ID sending ships into the harbor of Charleston n'iyht have put of the war. This was Toueey's plan. But the Government had the tsmerity [! lo send down vessels with supplies and endorsements Tinto it's own harbor, and to reinforce it's own starving garrisons, and the result was that our ships were fired into. Hence this fearful and bloody war. It might have been aver,cd, 1 This own words,1 the Government might dare made concessions to the rebels, butH didnet. A ! national convention, the withholding of sup | plies from Fsrt Sumter, the Crittendon com promise, any of these Le claimed might have recalled the erring states who had left us, even after the act of secession. T. $. knew this was false, if he knew anything, when he said if He sYoke of Mir. Wilson's militia bill and said that the people would rise up against so fragrant violation of their rights, though the Governmcnt stood before them becksd 6y C million Gayoncts The upright and generous Southerners had come North anl married our daughters, &c, He believed

He spoke of illegal arrests, [pity he cou!dlt have been made 0 shining example of cne-nobody would have doubted the leyalny Of that last Summer, mere than they did poor Saobble's,
 who wasn't half so traiterous,] and he de- clared that all the acts of the Administration, from the time that an attempt was made to relieve Fort Sumter, showed that the Presi- dent was false to his oath to maintain and defend the Constitution of the United States ]!
 He said that if tn e reeent political demon strations at tho North meant anything, they meant that the liberty of the people was about to assert itself against horrid tyranny. If not at the ballot-box, [thcse were his words, then some other sgay," and SO on to the end of the chapter.

 And we think we have got him! If any one man, outside of Charleston or Richmond, can make cut a better record for the rebels than Thos. H. Seymour, we should like to see | it! Was there ever 8 more daring record to 2 living man? And this man is nominated for Governor of Connecticut!

 I Here then we rest. We have taken up some space to give this cspperhead candidate thorough airing; we have given some faint outline of who he is, what he is, and what his record is; we might have taken up more if we had wished to do him poetic justice; but we ; think we have done our duty, and in sticking to facts, have stuck to the stern, naked unyielding truths, which confront every voter at the com ing election we could not have done less, and done, even this meagre justice to the great Humbug, and Charlatan, and Traitor, who ap- peals to us, and to cur fellow citizens, for our l votes at the coming election. 4
