If it were possible that the American Fen-
pie should commit their drstnie> TO the keep
ing of Horatio Seymour and Frank Blair,
these Consequences are inevitable:
1. The sei-u,e Of sn6onaded po'rer orer
the Southern Stairs by tie late Rebels. In
stating this, we state but what they, through
a thousand mouths, have already pa oclamed.
Mt Frauk Blair only, but nearly every talk
ing Conservative " in the South, his as
sumed that the election of Seymour will be a
popular verdict against the whUle Recnn>truc-
ton policy of Congress, and e~pecialls
against the right of the Blacks TO vote. They
tell US that the election Of Seymour and
Blair will be ratification of that plank of
the Tan,many platform which stignatizes
the Reconstruction acts as - revolutionary,
null and void" and that they shall proceed
to treat then accordingly. That is to ST. :
They will treat the new State Governments
as utilities, and proceed at once 10 replace
them by what they call 9. White Mems Gov
ernmeLts that i, governms nts based On
their own good pleasure. That they will be
resisted, ami that bluudshed aud anarchy will
result, are inevitable.
III. Another result Of Seymour's election
will be the triumph of that sneak,nc, cora dIy
form Of epudiat,on termed paytng the
Fire ire'attes IN Gree'sbachs. We do no,
mean that this Fanny viii ultimately pre-
vail, bat its advocates will for tht moment
be upper most, and will push it to the extent
of debasing our currency so that IL will have
no LOFT vail he nt
widow and orphan, how held III trust will be
rendered worthless. knaves viii pay their
debts with ten II twenty cents on the d,iar,
and Labor viii be paid 1T III money that has
lit lie or no value. Ultimately, the infinite
evils of this scheme will strip its advocates
of power. replacing them b, champions OF
financial integrity SO the Debt Will at st be
paid, but not till after it has changed hands
To tn. loss of many timid or needy holders,
and lis reputation will have wrought general
ban kruptcv and ruin.
III. The Hhite IIuonists ,ctN be hunted
from the South as they ,cere an tie iIintsr
and Spring or lS6O-6l. Many of them will
be killed Iii the process, as they were on the
former occasion. ''Thev IR-pubiican> want
to get up free debate" said Clingnan of n.
c. in the Senate in December, 1860, I" as the
Senator from New York ar. Seward ex-
pressed it, in one of his speeches. But I,
Senator from Texas Wigfall told NE the !
other day, that a great M my oft 'ese free |
aebaters ,eere hanging from the trees Of that :
country" texas Such was the Southern
response to pacific orertures from the North |
after We had elected our President. II will
be- roughcr than that if they should now elect !
their man. From every Southern stump. it /
is proclaimed that - the carpet bagsers "
Republicans from the North and :. scala
Mags" y bite Republicans born in the /
South will be run cut the moment they can
be without fear of dam ing >esm",T'> pros
poets Should be be successful IN NJ, ember,
he White Republicans in the South will be
hunted over the Potomac and Ohio or into
heir graves, before Christmas.
". he Blacks will ally be allowed
o stay if they cringe enough and abiure the
Righ, of Suffrage. A few of the leaders will
be killed for examples sake but the great
na>s will be simply reduced 10 the condition
# beasts Of burden and tolerated so long as
hey abide in it. If they gro,el sufficiently
nd keep their mouths shut, their lives wi.l
,e spared.
V. But the whole business of Black Edu-
alton will be arrested at once. The sch"uls
,ept 10y Whites will be burned those kept by
Blacks will be peremptnri!s shut up. ne
rO seehin. education for himself or his
hildr.n will be REGARDED ard treated an
nceEdiary. All that has been so nobly and
veil begun for the enlightenment and
noral elevation of the Freedmen will be
topped, and their education made crime in
act if not also in law. Darkness will again
ettle upon the face of the land. and common
choois, even for Whites. either be forbidden
r generally allowed to fall into disuse.
Such are some of the inevitable results
{ Seymour's election, were that election
ossible. The condition of the South result
1g from such a triumph would make angels
.eep and devils blush. 1t would be a VIC
Dry of Darkness-a Jubilee CT Treason-a
ing stride toward Chaos and primeval Night. ;
, is not possible that such fate is in store
II our fre-tried Republic.
