!, WI'. De- rc.,,i.ectyl that in the
year following this grateful tender OF
Li- friendship, the same Stanton de-
icaicI i,lc election of his = friend"
hv an unwarrantci act of arbitrary
power in scizing the official agent
and surprcs ing the vote given by
the soldiers Of New York for lIora,io
Seymour.
In response toa general call for
troops by the President, Gov. Scy-
mour lssucl a proclamation October
Goth, 1868, from which the following
is an extract:
In this emergency it is the duty
of all citizens to listen to the appeal
put forth by the President. and to
give efficient and cheerful aid in fill
ing up the thinned ranks of our ar
mics. 1t is due to our hrethen in the
field, who have battled so heroically
for the flag Of our country, the Union
of the States, and to uphold the Con-
stitution, and prompt and voluntary
assistance should be sent to them in
this moment of their peril. They
went forth in the full confidence that
they would at all times receive from
their fellow-citizcns at home gen
erous and efficient support. Every
motive ofpride and patriotism should
impcl us to give this by voluntary
and cheerful contributions of men
and money, and not by forced con-
scription or cocrcive action OH the
part of the Government.
The following letter was addressed
by Governor Seymour to Democratic
meeting in Orange county, New
York
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.,
ALBANY, June 20, 1864. {
"GcnNemcA Il regret that l can,
not attend the meeting to be held at
Middlctown, Orange county, on the
2d of July. My engagements are
such that cannot crafty myself by
being present on that occasion.
Our motto must be at this time,
that we will do our duty and demand
our rights; we will do every duty de.
manded by ttc constitutional authori-
ties, whether we like or dislike their
policy. We will demand all our
rights of such authorities whether
they like or dislike such demands.
1t is now apparent to all, that
our country can only be saved by
harmonious action among the people
of the North. 1t is equally clear that
harmonious action can only be had
upon one platform, ,is-the Union, the
Constitution and respect for the laws.
Harmony can never be made by
threats, dcnunciations or unconstitn-
tional arrests of persons or seizures
of property. 1t is easier for the Gov
ernment to impose such illegal prac-
tees. than it is for free people to
submit to them. God grant that the
Affections of our country may teach
our rulers this simple truth, aud that
these same Affections may rouse in
the hearts of our people the same
patriotism and firmness in defense Of
our liberty. which animated oGr "a
