We have again and again pointed ont
to our readers the fact that the election
of Seymour would be an endorsements of
the principles and an affirmation of tbe
policy of the SECESSION partv wh;nb
plunged the country into war in 1871
The proof of the fact is logical and ;na;s.
putable, and it cannot be too often ra-
peated Thus:
The Tammany Convention that non;-
mated Mr.. Seymour declared in its Mat
form, that
The Reconstruction acts of CONGRESS-
are unconstitutional, revolutionary and
void"
1t follows, then, as Congress passed
these acts, that that body has no power
over the States for which these acts
were passed; and that if Congress has
no power, no other authority has; there
fore,
The States included in these acts must
be admitted to the Union without him
| drance, condition qualification or guaran-
tee, proving clearly that
Rebellion against the Constitution and
the laws is 10 crime, beuause, according
to democratic authority, the rebellion
was jjustiiab bic; hence as every pubic act
is good or bad, this act Of waging
The war was patriotic, therefore merit
Gus. If such,
Those whoerade the war are deserving
of reward-are entitled to the repayment
OF all the expenses incurred in the conflict
and to reimbursement for all their losses;
and with the blood still fresh on their
| hands, which was shed in defense OF lib
erty.
The rebels, falsely so called, must be
immediately and Internationally indicted
INTO power; and by natural sequence,
every man who fought against them and
| Tor the Integrity OF the Union, must be
! punished
This is the logical method of reaching
a conclusion that the shaiu- Democracy
have adopted We find, as consequence
of their position on these questions, that
among the men who so for Seymour and
| BLAIR, are
All the rebel Generals,
All the rebel Colonies,
All the rebel priyates,
All the Executive officers of the Con
federate Government.

at Salisbury, Andersonville. Libby ane
other pens in which more than fort
thousand OF our soldiers gave up til,

All the burners in New York and til,

All the draft rioters,
All the bounty jumpers,
All tie men who discouraged enlist
ments,
All the men who rejoiced over rebe
| victories,
All the men who were sad when tn
Union armies trlumphed
All those engaged in the massacre O
Fort Pillow,
All those who assaulted the nationa
credit,
All like Bureguard. who proposed t
raise the black flag and give 10 quarter
All those who are for slavery as tn
policy OF the nation,
All those who contemn freedom as tn
inevitable corrollary Of Democratic pril
clpleS,
