The Defeat of Seymour,

But one feeling-that of profound
satisfaction-will pervade the Union
masses Of the country, over the intel
ligence of the defeat of this consum-
mate politician aud bitter opponent Of
the Union interest of the nation. The
influence Of no man in the country, in
the present emergency, was perhaps
more to be dreaded. Neither bold
nor very great man, he has unques-
tionably had more to do in organizing
opposition to the Government than
any other man outside of the Southern
Confederacy. This has been owing
partly to the position he has held, and
partly to the character of the man.
Had Seymour continued in the posi-
ton he has held for the last two years,
that Of Governor Of the largest State
in the Union, he would have served
as the nucleus around which another
organized opposition to the Govern.
ment could have gathered. But now
this is scarcely possible. He is de-
throncd as political sovereign. The
sceptre has been taken from his hand.
In the downfall of Horatio Seymour,
in connection with it's defeat on the
the Presidential issue, the Copperhead
organization has encountered its
probable overthrow. The Govern.
ment will find plenty Of opposers in
all its movements to restore the
Union and wipe out rebellion, but
the hand of Horatio Seymour is not
likely hereafter TO give controlling d.
rection to any considerable body Of
its enemies. The complete failure of
all his Vaccinations has destroyed his
supremacy with any party.

troubles the Senate Chamber with his
presence. RICHARDSON. however. is dis
