Governor Seymour.

This enemy OF his country, this backbone OF
the infamous riots which blackened the fame and
reputation of the Empire City Of the North, and
who is permitted 10 disgrace the CiubernatorlaI
chair of the State of New York, has given direc-
tious it seems 10 the District Attorney to procure
indictments against all who were engaged in the
seizure of the offices of the World and Journal of
Commerce two of the intenSest and most viru-
lent of the traitorous sheets which have been do
ing their utmost TO destroy the vitality OF the
very Government protecting tn m.
This action is taken by Gov. Seymour, not so
much out of sympathy for his Copperhead allies
of the press. but for the purpose OF bringing on
direct conflict of authority between the National
and State forces. 1t matters not to Seymour and
his traitor satellites how far the Government was
injured in the publication of the lying dispatches,
aud which were calculated 10 weaken 1t and sent
abroad Us crumb of comfort to its enemies, bring
ing abouta depreciation Gifts credit, and throw
ing dependency upon its friends because that
consunation is one deYoutly wished for by him;
but his whole object is to throw the State OF New
York into the fierce fame of civil discord- so as
10 assist the fallen fortunes of his President Jeh
Davis, while he will be heard wildly shrieking for
the Constitution as il is " above the roar OF the
conhagration which his own infamy furnished the
brand for Governor Seymour, al times, talks
loudly of State pride; but what does that state
pride amount to, which with treason dyed hands
seeks to destroy the very National Government
of which il is a component part.
Governor Seymour is one OF these Union men
who see nothing to praise, but everything to con-
denim in the Government; who, instead of doing
their utmost to assist the United States authori
ties in re-asserting the supremacy of the laws,
throws every obstacle in the way, in the hope
that the friends of JEFF Davis domniOns may be
benefited by such conduct. If Seymours stripe
of Union men could only see one act of the Gov
ernment worthy Of their favor and support, per-
son might, by great persuasion, be induced to
place some confidence in their professions; but
when they undertake 10 condemn everything and
not applaud anything, man is not TO be CEN
sured for proclaming them the yeriest traitors on
the face Of the earth, whose aSseverations Of
State pride are a lie and u cheat, and whose
position toward the Federal Government
would disgrace Benedict Arnold. Gov. Seymour
should be well aware and is, that New York. with
all her wealth, intelligence, beauty and position,
without a Nationality, would be as low down in
the scale as the merest pigmy Of power. We
doubt not the Government il ready for the issue
which the unprincipled aud interruptions Cover
nor of the state of New York would thrust upon
it, The men engaged in the service which so dis
pleases the Executive Of New York, should be
protected even If thousands Of lives were offered
up in the struggle, and millions of treasure ex-
pended in the work. If that result, which Sey-
mour so ardently hopes for, should come to pass
-diseord. anarchy and confusion-we hope the
bullet will speed quick to the heart of the traitor
Governor of New York."-Spirit Of the Times
