Litchfield enquirer., 1864-03-24

would have, been an act of kindness on the part of the copperhead committee who intor. med Mr. Origen s. Seymour of his nc imitation, to have conveyed to him other equally impor- tapt if not so late intelligence. They should have told him that a war was going on in the country. We venture to Say that he has nsv- CT heard of it to this day. Living up there on tho LitehAeld hills, away from the great lines of conmunicatien, it is not to be won dered at that many things should have sscs- ped his notice. If he is to run fos governor much in this state. we shall favor the project to carry a railroad over Litch6eld hill, ia For. der to put him into relations with tho active world. The snort of a locomotive might keep him from those heavy Rip Van Winkle snoo- zes, from one of which he has evidently just been arroused by the oonundrum of his friend MT. Bond, who wants to know "who is the greatest traitor, Abraham Lincoln or Jeff DA- vis2"
 Mr. Seymour started up to know what the row was all about and finding himself nomina ted for governor, concluded he must define his position, and tell what he knew about public affairs. He published letter. And this is how we come to know that he has never heard of the war. He does not iu this letter give it any consideration, and only passingly alludes to this time of civil var, and in way to show that he has no clear idea on the subject. It is considered by many of superlativs importance; aad man of Mir. Seymour's intelligence would, in document of SD much careful thot and labored wording, have surely Fslerrea to the war with some payticularity fl he had been aware that one was going on.
 It is after al! not difficult te see hoy Mir. Scymour's mind shoald bs in this twilight state. Of course he takes only the Weekly 1Smes. or may be the Register, that he would enjoy superior facilities for misinforma ton On limited number of subjects. Ho might doze over the Times year after year, as he probably did, and be ignorant of tho pres enee of war in the country unless he happened to step into eopperhead meeting and hear ". ". Eaton, of New Hampshire. request somebody to 'stop thls uuhoiy war"
 As we read Mir. Seymour's introductory al- fusion to " this time of violent party strife and civil war;" we are nearly convinced that he supposss we arc still in the Kansas difficulty. The latest public event of which the letter really takes cognizanos, is the secession of some of the statss and that he really has got no farther !n this point in our hlstsry is evident from the remainder of tho letter. Fol: hs says that government has d right to pnt down by forcs. # ,,eed De, all resistance to law" It ia evident from this remark that, 50 far as he knows. the contingency has not yet arisen for using force. He is onIy imagining a situation where it might if noed be. Do usad. War, to Mr. seymoc44gs m;2il m...l T !i'ohieia' Las not yet dawne.:

Will the electors vote for man to take the responsible position of governor, who either don't know which side he is on, or is too sly and unmanly to tell :? Mir. Seymour thought, no doubt, that he had done 8 very cunn h. thiEz when he penned this letter. But deception is not al ways the best policy. And this epistle of Or igen so overdoes the natter in the sly style that people who are charitable as to Mr. Sey- mour's honesty, can orly conclude that hs has been in Rip Van Wrinkle sleep lately. In either case. he is not the man for governor, in these times.-Hargford R;sai.
 AUr1LArsD NorEs.-It is known that Unite d received at the various goyernment offices iu payment of dues, provided their genginenass can be ascertained. and net more than ono twentieth part of them is missing further. that fractional notes will also be receyed or re- deemed at certain designated Repositories. in sums of five dollars, provided not more thah one-tenth part of them is missing.

 To get notes which are badly mutilated re deemed, it is necessary to make an affidavit that the mutilated part has been destroyed, and send the residue to Washington, accompanied by a testimonial of the good character of the adiapt.
