We have again and again pointed
out to our readers the fact that the
election of Seymour would be an
Endorsement of the principles and
an affirmation of the policy of the
secession party which plunged the
country into war in 1861. The
proof of the fact is logical and in.
disputab!e, and it can not be too
often repeated. Thus:
The Tammany Convention that
nominated Mr., Seymour declared in
its platform, that
The Reconstruction acts Of Con
gress are unconstitutional, revolu-
tionary and void"
lit follows, then, as Congress pass
ed these acts, that that body has no
power over the States for which
these acts were passed; and that il
Congress has no power, no other
authority has; therefore,
The States included in these acts
must be admitted to the Union
without hindrance, condition, quail
ification or guarantee, proving clear
ly that
Rebellion against the Constitution
and the laws is no crime; because,
according to Democratic authority,
the rebellion was iustiiable hence
as every public act is good or bad,
this act Of waging
The war was patriotic, therefore
meritorious. If such,
Those who made the war are de-
serving of reward--are entitled to
the repayment of all the expenses
incurred in the conflict and to REIN
bursement for all their losses; and
with the blood still fresh on their
hands, which was shed in defense of
liberty,
The rebels, falsely so called, must
be Immediately inducted into pow
er; and by natural sequence, ev-
cry man who fought against them
and for the integrity of the Union,
must be punished.
This is the logical method of
reaching conclusion that the sham
Democracy have adopted. We find,
as consequence of their position
on these questions, that among the
men who go for Seymour and Blair,
are
All The rebel Generals,
All the rebel Colonies,
All the rebel privates,
All the Executive officers Of the
Confederate Government,
All the men who starved our
at Salisbury, Anderson
vile, Libby and other pens in which
more than 10000 of our soldiers
gave up the ghost,
All the rebel agents abroad,
All the blockade runners,
All the burners in New York, and
the threatened burners in Chicago,
All the prisoners, and the men
who wanted to introduce cholera
and yellow fever into the North,
All the tire-in the-rear men like
5he editor of the Chicago Times,
All the draft rioters,
All the bounty jumpers,
All the men who discouraged en-
All the men who rejoiced over
'ebel victories,
All the men who were sad when
he Union armies triumphed,
All those who assailed the nation
Il credit,
All those who engaged in the
of Fort Pillow,
All like Beauregard, who propos-
ID to raise the black flag and give
10 quarter,
All those who are for slavery as /
he policy of the nation,
All those who contemn freedom
s the inevitable corollary of Dem
'cratic principles, !
All who want to stamp the hum
'le and lowly into the dust,
All who want capital to own its S
1bor,
All who are not in favor of pay
ng full days wages for faithful c
ay's work, (
All the men who do not believe c
n the equality of mankind before +
he law, 4.
All who approve the assassina- =
