He has not waited for the action of those
Who profess to be injured. He has not
waited for the action Of the Courts. He sets
Aimself up. ~ . prosecutor Of United
States officers and, instead Of seeking to
avoid Unnecessary collision between the
United States and State authorities, he dis
plays anxiety only to produce such . col
liaion. It. u impossible to reconcile his
conduct with any purpose but that Of deli
bsrate treason. He designs creating =
civil war az home, in the hope that he viii
thereby create useful diversion In favor
Of the rebels. His acts mean this and
nothing other or less than this. Right in
ths midst Of raid across Maryland, at the
very crisis Of the campaign, while he has .
call before him for . portion of the militia
Of the State, while the fate Of the country
hangs In tho balance, Governor Seymour
turns deaf ear to the call of his country
and can find nothing Of SUFFICIENT impor-
lance to engage his attention, but the terri
BILE wrongs Of the New York World! He
II anxious t. create war at home to right
the wrongs Of that reasonable sheet and
it, editors! Could man with any loyalty
In his heart act thus the part Of . traitor?
II there any likelihood that . man who
acts - Seymour does, designs anything
but the natural result of his conduct?
8 Men may have their own opinions about
the necessity or legality Of the seizure Of
the World II it was ~ wrong a. any one
pleases 10 assert 1t, those aggrieved have
ample remedy within reach. The Courts
and Judges OF New York are sufficiently
inclined to aid them without the prompting
ofths Governor. His intermeddling would
b m Outrage ct any time. Just now
It amounts to . declaration Of his intent to
cripple the Government, and to that extent
70 give aid and comfort to the traitors.
II there u any man In al the North who
deserves to have his neck stretched with .
hsmpen halter, it il this same Horatio
Seymour, Governor Of New York. We
don't know but he viii manage, after .
while, 70 SECURE that reward Of his infamy.
II b goes On in his career, We ahouldn't
b greatly surprised II he finds himself
dangling between heaven and earth. We
think Il would b salutaay example to
his fellow conspirators. 1.-THE Governor Of
New York win b q traitor he u just the

scamps.
- Prior to the late naval fight Cd
Chsrbourg, . long time had elapsed since
the Europeans had an opportunity Of see
ing how tho 'sYankses" do their lighting
On the high seas. We think the specimen
exhibited BY the Kearsarge, win open
their eyes little. They had . fair Illus
tratlon Of the fate that awaits their own
vessels, whenever they get crazy enough to
tread too hardly on our toes. This sending
Of ships Of war to the bottom in . little
over IN hour, II sort Of achievement they
are not accustomed to hear Of In this In
stance good many Of them sdv the thing
done. They saw It done, too, whom the
vessel sunk was the larger Of the two, was
The best sailos, was built BY the best Eng
lish skin, manned with British sailors,
and carried - many guns, the best the
Ensliah could supply, - its opponent-
And Il took little over IN hour to sink this
vesssl while the Kearsarge was scarcely
tnjuredl Won't these facts make the fol-
lows over the water open their eyes. We
guess II Win.
- Gov. Seymour, Of New York, has
been called upon for twelve thousand Of
the volunteer militia Of that State to assist
In repelling IN invasion. The militia are
organized and ready to 80. The Governor
does not give the crder-be tells them not
. to 60 without further orders! Does that
look like patriotism4
There is . way to get them without his
orders and against his orders, II need be,
That mode will be adopted II deemed ne.
cessary or expedient. So that Horatao,,
withholding Of orders win mot amount "a
anything but another proof Of his infamy
which was sufficiently evident before. /
don't do any great harm IL the raid int,
Maryland u really no important one.-
Otherwise It may do serious injury. If
