Tne noble speech OF Governor Seymour and the com.
krensnAve yet concise presentment OF Congress by
MI. longer, from the Committee on Resolutions pre-
eents the platform OF our principles We ilnpeach
me usurpefs 2t Washington for their crimes against

o 'ne Whole heart or the democracy OF the state
Wouu turn with enthusiasm But Governor Sey-
mour refuses to be regarded as candidate and his
oves are TOO patriotic 10 permit his friends to con-
!. It Is wise, too. to defer until the 4th day of
July next the designation OF our. standard
bearer. WHO can foreteli to what length The
anarchists at Washington win have dragged
Sne country by that timer In what position OF

Tore then the trial and deposal OF the President and
20 establish the military dictatorship at the South, to
De sustained by the bayonets OF black and white SOL
Oilers, to suppress liberty below the Potomac and to
threaten II In all the States above.
We can imagine 1t consummated--the President in
exile, the Cabinet scattered, the profane aad reckless
Ohio Senator in the Presidential seat, congenial
spirits gathered TO his councils the army pureed of
patriot generals ana their places filed with political
parasites
what is the next steps The ctii law PROSTATE:
the courts shcnced; the great writ OF liberty-tie
habeas corEus-- suspended in all the States; The
press ceerccd into silence constrained into acQu

What Shall the people do in that crsiss we wilIDo
mere say whnt they should DO. But whatever ac Of
sacrifice, whatever devotion OF means whatever
energy OF supreme despair the crisis shall call for
tnal(nc convention must DE ready to make that the
democracy must be ready to sustain
IL Is country we are to save We act through
the organization OF parties and by the agency OF
poiitical jnsfHmentalities, but the work is 10 he
done so as 70 enlist all patriots TO it's support and Il
must be so shaped that all true lovers of the republic
Will unite 10 lit 1t above the considerations oil per-
sonal ambition or party advancement.
VIII be seen that Governor Seymour has endeay-
ored to discard nom the issue the question OF how
the vast puh!ic debt is to be paid There is q,les.
tioD that Lrceedes that. 1t Is whether we have /,
country or government. The foundations of public
and OF private credit are alike in danger ana the
Fepudi2tcn nl the obligations OF the constitution by
the radical directory Is first to be dealt WITH
The debt VIII not be paid by this generation. II
VIII not be natd at all il the prevailing page or the

out AS about 5000 100000 Of the bonds are field Ia
New York. Sew Jersey, Connecticut and PepnsyIya-
niathe Ssates The most sure 10 DC democratic in the
next contest the conhscation OF this amount win be
more congenal to these denlagogues than acceptable
TO the people OF these States. We want no such
result achieved by the decentralization Of the cur
rency. LEI Gefer the payment OF the principal of
the debt so that posteriy may bear It's share. Let

The dynasty nj Washington Is the enemy OF liberty
and national honor Let us cast it out and save the
country and the people, and pubic and private
