EDWIN M. STANTON. #
To His Excellency, Horatio Seymour.
Il, I'M view ofsthis record, and this
need of praise to Governor Seymour
from Abraham Lincoln and Edwin M.
Stanton, there be those who give heed
to his slanderers, it were useless to
reason with them. To the candid,
fair-minded citizen, however, these
documents must be conclusive that the
nation owes much to Governor Sey-
mour as one of it's chief saviors in the
hour of its greatest peril. III -,J,.r,oY

On the occasion of the riots, Cover

lamations on that occasion::%. a.
First Proclamation of Governor Seymour.
To the People Of the City Of Neec.
90 NeW Y1o1.E: ''i''s 'is''es - 7''''
A riotous demonstration in ,yourr
city, originating in opposition to the
CONSUMPTION of soldiers for the mill.
tary service of the United States, has
swelled into vast proportions, direct+l
ing its fury against the property and
lives of peaceful citizens. I know
that many OF those who have partici-
pated in these proceeding would not
have allowed themselves to be carried
to such extremes, OF, violence and of
wrong, except under an apprehension
of injustice but such persons are re-
that the only opposition to
the conscription which can be allowed
is an appeal to the courts ~ -3l,ilol
The right of every citizen to- make
such an appeal will be maintained, and
the decision of the courts must be re- |
spected and obeyed by rulers and peo-
pie alike. No other'course is consists
ent with the maintainanee of the laws. |
the peace and order of the city, and |
safety of its inhabitants. wy
Riotous proceedings must and shall.
be put down. The laws of the State |
must be enforced, its peace and lorder
maintained, and the lives and property
Of all citizens protected at any sand 4
every hazard. The rights of every
citizen will be properly guarded and, |
defended by the Chief Magistrate Of I
The State ~ HLtlsii I bga 4
Il do, therefore, call upon all persons,I
engaged in these riotous proceedings /
bo retire to their homes and employ
Ihents, declaring that unless theyId so
at once, | shall use all thepower neees-
sary to restore the peace and order Oft
The city. Ialso call upon all weH+dis-5
posed persons. not enrolled for the
of order, to pursue their
ordinary avocations. S-'5
Let all citizens stand firmly by the
constitutional authorities, sustaining
law and order in the city, ready to an,
swer any. such demand as circnm-
stances may render necessary for me
TO make upon their services, and they
may rely upon rigid enforcement of

Violate them. ~ 1l''''h
