LONDON, Aug. 10.
The second James Buchanan.

In 1860, james Buchanan WAS President of
the United States. In November, 1860. he
knew that Mr.. Lincoln had been elected Pres
ident, that it was the purpose of the South
ern States TO secede and sci up Confedera-
cy of tAeir own, and that several m members of
his own Cabinet were active participants in
the conspiracy. He knew that disunion was
meant, and civil war to maintain that dis,
union, but he never by word act sought to
arrest the rebellion or TO vindicate the nation
al authority. Horatio Seymour is playing
precisely the same dishonest, disloyal aud
cowardy part. Had Buchanan openly avow-
ed his sympathy with the rebels and proms,
ed them his official aid he would not per
haps, have served the rebellion more effect
uay than he did, but his treason would not
have been stained with pusillsnimity. He
preferred to keep one record for the world,
and another for the rebels-a a record for the
winning side, no matter which it might be.
Horatio SEYMOUR 9 game is equally dishon-
orable. The platform which he accepts was
written, as Wade Hampton Gays in such Ian
guage as to leave ne doubt as to the lawful
ness and duty Of individual and State resist-
anee to the laws OF Congress,to the decreess Of
courts, and the action of States under these
laws. Wade Hampton says he wrote that
part of the platform in order that he might be

that. when they resorted to arms to over
throw the government in that State, and the
other governments in other rebel States,they
would have the armed aid and assistance Of
the Northern Democracy. Wade Hampton
has returned 10 this State and told his people
to prepare for the war, in which the princi-
Pies supposed 10 have been lost at Appoma-
tox, shall be yindicated by Northern Dem
ocratic volunteers led by Ewing Franklin,
Rousseau, Blair and other men bearing Sey>
mour's l6 600 commissions
General Preston has returned to Kentucky
and told his people that he nominated Frank
Blair, because Frank Blair was pledged to
lead the Northern army ''to tramp into dust
the acts and authority of Congress, and tha,
Frank Bair's pledge was embodied in that
platform which Horsto Seymour has approv-
ed. Howell Cobb, Buchanar's s tratorous
Secretary Of the Treasury, has repeated to
the people OF Georgia the assurance that in
November, if Seymour be elected, the rebel
lion will be renewed, but this time with the
President and Vice President at its head.

Forrest, the butcher Of Fort Pillow, has no.
tilted his 'seallsnt hos" that in No
vember, under the lead Of Frank
Blair, and with the commissions of
Seymour, they will take t.e field and exter-
inmate the filthy horde who triumphed under
Grant in 1865. Mayor Monroe, civil leader
of the New Orleans massacre, from his re-
tirement in Havana, snnffs the gale of new
rebellion. and greets Blair and Seymour with
his bloody hands. The wh6le South is in
joyful expectation Of resumption of the
war, with Seymour in the White House, and
Blair at the head of the rebel troops-wi.h
the Executive using the army to suppress the
and to install . new one chosen by rebel
chiefs
Horatio Seymour knows that every rebel
soldier 10 the South is awaiting the summons
of his old commanders. He knows that his
election will be equivalent in 1868 to that of
jefferson Davis by the Confederates in 1861.
He knows that these armed rebels expect
him to begin precisely where JEFF. Davis left
of in April, 1855. And what does Seymour
do? Like Buchanan, his sristocratic aspira-
tions have taught him to despise the laboring
and toiling masses of tho North, and to re-
spect the race at the South, who are both
too lazy and too proud TO work, andswho, as
" belonging to . superior race" Claim IN
exemption from the degradation of toll.
His sympathies are with these people in
their rebellion against the abolition of hn
man slavery his heart is with them in their
feelings OF bitter hostility against political
equality; he hates the Republican party be-
cause it has reduced these men to obedience
and be submits to these repeated /and uni
versal declarations in his name that he will
put himself at the head of thsir renewed re-
bellion, and will, ~ the Executive, co>ope-
rate with them in extinguishing the National
Legislature.
All his hopes, and ambitions, feelings and
like those Of Buchanan, are to be
q willing seryitor to the aristocratic "lords'
Of the slave system, and unwilling to lose
the good will of these men-he sits in his 're-
spectablen home at Utica, and permits them
to eulogize hm as their future deliverer-the
successor of Davis, the founder of the re-
stored Southern Confederacy.
Think of Andrew jackson reading in the
q speech by the snllihers ofSouih
Carolina, tha. be as President ef the United
States would put himself at the head of the
South Carolina forces to nullify and overturn
by force the laws of the United Statesi Yet
Horatio Seymour, who accepts as an honor
this Infamous assignments of treason, asks the
people to name him as the succes
sor OF Andrew johnson. Seymour has but
one model, and that is Buchanan-the mean
and cowardly sycophant who permits traitors
to organize rebellion in his name, willing
to accept its results if victorious, and to be
the accursed of his race if that will bring him
power and position Chicago Tribune.
