Of iroIhing about Horalio Seymour.
lie will learn thorefrom many things
about Horatio Seymour that no one ever

lie will learn that Horatio Seymour
was born with double rows of teeth and
tha. his first lively performance was TO
bite of the nurses little finger because she
had a brother in the army
That he grew up deCeitful young ras-

jaiis
That he cut the throars of six school
fellows, extracted their liye:s, and sold

succeed better in rascality than any other
people, excepting those who get war con-
.racts or places in the revenue service.
That he joined The church in order TO
sratify personal grudge against the wor-
.AY ~ecter, whom he afterward drowned
IN Tie Herkimer river, by tying Il large
stone to his neck.
That he is "a sneeking, deceitful,
spCCiOus, hCRrtless, adroit, unsCrupHlous
conscienceless, puileful, juggling. insidi-
Gus, designing, faithless, double-tongHed,
discriminating, hypocri;ical, peIjurcd, xmas

protigate, corrupt, brutal, unrirhteous,
ntToctous, rascally, abominable, unmitl-

That he entered into a conspiracy with
J. Tilden, jeff. Davis, Belle Boyd and
Henry Clay Dean to murder a. Lincoln
and desscrate the grave of Ann RutIedge,
''six miles north, bearing little west, of
New Salem y and that he never forgave
Wilkes Booth for Interfering and spelling
his nice little arrangement.
That be is crazy-crazy as a loon, as a
March hare, as bed bug-in brief, as
cIazy as General Sherman wns when he
said the rebellion could not bs put down
Gy sn army of seventy-fve thousand men;
and that the very wonderful "method in
his madness is proof positive that lie ex-
poets TO be more crazy.
That he is the Identical red handed rebel
who fired the first gun who tore down
the Federal flag who was alluded to by
General Dix when he said "SEoot him
on the spot )" who starved Federal pris~
oners at Andersonville +; who played the
devil generally at Fort Pillow WHO set
fire to New York orphan asylum who
scduccd Grant to take his first drink who
dared to express the opinion that Mr..
Lincoln was not the Government; who
declined to become one of Mrs Govern
ment's dear friends by presenting her with
camePs hair shawl who raised an OBJ
jcction to Mr.. Stewards little bell who
said the laws ought TO be obeyed alike by
rulers and people; and who was guilty Of
objectionable treason in setting an illus
trious example Of obedience and patriotic
devotion to the civil law, as Governor Of
New York.
These are some of the surprising things
that people who read the Jacobin news
paper concerns during the dog days will
learn concerning air. Seymour. The list
need not be continued, because it will be
found M erte'lSo in all the Jacobin prints,
to the exclusion of much more important
and interesting matter C+icogo Times.
