Tha. Gov. Seymour should grossly misrepre-
sent and oalumniate the President of the United
States aud his supporters in our struggle for Ma
tional existence, is fatal necessity Of his posi-.
ton. For either the President IL q usurper or
the Governor Il in essence and at heart traitor
there can be no escape from this dilemma. II
the President aud his supporters areas we be-
lieye ard teach-nobly struggling to suppress a
gigantic, causcless and wicked Rebellion.

then is the whole course Of Gov. Seymour for
the last three years that Of a malignant and
sage of yesterday, like that of last year, 10 a
document which should rank in history with
that Of Benedict Arnold excusing his attempt 70
surrender West Point 70 our British foes. His
complaints that the War has been perverted and
necdlessly protracted--that its original objects
have been lost sight Of, &C., &c.-are exactly
Anold's; there is hardly difference enough to
shield the later apostate from The charge OF
PLAGIARISM. Let us direct the public attention to
a few conspicuous facts:
|. At the Tweddle Hall Convention, Feb. I,
1861, Gov. Seymour argued that the Slayehold
ers' Rebellion, then in embryo must be bought
off lv new concessions and guarantees to the
Slave Power, because it could not possibly be
overcome by force Of arms. The Southern Peo
ple. he urged, were Twelve Millions and, hold
ing an immense area and fighting ontho dcien
siye, they were practically ingncible.
3. About this time, meeting an eminent citi
zen Of our State whom he regarded as OF Iikt
spirit with his own, he asked, "uave you read
the Confederate Constitution" "No," said
1e gentleman, "not particularly; l have
glanced over it, but not read it attentigcy.'
"well," replied Seymour, 81 have; and Il
better than The Ftdsrai. Then mhy not ooerpt IT,
and end all cOntrOrersy7" That Confederate
Constitution in express terms makes every Ter
rtory q Slave Territory and every State Slave
State.
9. In the Autumn Of 1861, Seymour and hi
friends refused an invitation Of the Republicans
to unite in framing Union State ticket
pledged only to uphold and inygorate the Wa
for the National integrity. though he no" as
serts that all parties we're then united in heartily
supporting it. Such ticket ras formed, and
elected by 100000 majority; but Seymour

RHHuND THE CURTAIN.

The desperate condition OF the Rebellion. OF
which evidences daily accumulate. is further
illustrated by letter (of which the original i
in our possession), printed in another column
from the Rebel Secretary of War TO the Rebel

complains that the people Of sundry counties IN
North Carolina fail TO exhibit any alacrity in

From another source VI learn that there had
been constant difficulty be;wesn the citizens
and tho officers who levied the tax, the latter
charging the citizens with coacea,ing their

We learn that Gen. Butler has arranged with
the President and War Department IL plan re-
garding exchange Of prisoners, which will very
soon be seen in important results. What that
plan is cannot yet be told; but there is ample
assurance that twill bring The Rebels TO reason

iusal to treat with Gen. Butler because jeff.
Davis chooses to consider him an outlaw will
very probably be reconsidered. II is known
that the $4,000 Rebel prisoners, more or less,

Texas Is a historical ard financial marvel.

of having plenty Of fighting on hand and no

people, In fair way TO take her place among
tho nations Of the earth. The history Of her
embanassments and disasters, during the eight
succeeding Year., though corresponding III time
with the length of our Revolutionary struggle,
exceeds anything in the annals of the latter
period. Eight years Of war for independence
overwhelmed her with debt, represented, as Is
the Confederate inlebtedncss now, BY bonds
ard scrip Of whatever variety the people could
be compelled TO take. At home She had neither
churches, schools, commerce nor manufactures.
Abroad shs had infinitely loss credit than the
Rebellion, and was moreover without particle
OF European sympathy. We cannot remember
that her ENJOYS even attempted 10 negotiate a
foreign loan. Yet the trick was practiced on
tho United States of submitting herself to 4
foreign protectorate, to induce us 70 admit her
into the Union. by appliances which have
never been made sufficiently clear, Northern
repugnancc was finally overcome, and Texas
came in as new Slave State.
