APplaRse,l | have known Hora-
tio Seymour, in New York, since
| was Fad. Ioften met him in
social life. in tho spring Of 1861.
when the rebels had seeded, or
pretended to secede, or withdraw
their States from the Union; when
they had fred upon the American
flag; when they had bombarded
Fort Sampler and compelled its
surrender; when thc'whole North
ern heart was illuminated With "a
living fire: when the entire North
rushed to arms, when there was
but one voice among all men of all
parties, IIoratio Seymour was in
Tho city Of Milwaukee. There
was q large meeting held ct noon
day in front of the Chamber Of
! Commerce, which was then near
the Spring street bridge. No one
spoke at that meeting bat Demo
cats for every true Democrat was
IS mnch firedwith Indignation at
rebellion'as were those who voted
tor and supported Mr.. Lincoln. 1t
was announced that Governor Sey-
mour, of New York was at tho
Newhall House, and that the crowd
would adjourn there and call him
out. Being acquainted with Gov
ernor Seymour, | left and hasten-
ei OH in advance 10 the Newhall
House to apprise him that the
crowd would shortly be there and
call him out. - ts.a
went into TIE lady 'sparlor aud
found him there sitting alone, toss-
ing bis hat in his hand. Said I,
"Governor, how do you to.day?"
Said he, II am very WE'LL" Said /,
"a large crowd from the Chamber
of Commerce will be here in few
moments 10 hear you speak upon
this great matter of the inaugura-
tion of the war" Said he, 81 shall
not go" | felt when | Ibeard this
as though had been struck by
lightning. l started back a mos
ment, and then | said: "Seymonr,
what do you mean?' His reply
was: "Idoat knoT hop7tkis thing
is going to turn out get" Great
sensation | Those were his exact
words. Ithen told him the crowd
would be there III a moment. He
asked if / wou!d 60 upon the bal
cony and tell them he teds sick. |
! told him would not, and turned
upon my heel and left him.
! rGreat applause.] Now, gentle.
men, I will not follow tho course
| of this man from that time for
ward. l watched itclosely, know
ing him as i did, and comparing
in my mind his actions during the
war with this circumstance at the
commencement of it. You know
that throughout our whole contest
he was a sympathizer with the re-
bellion. / only state what | know
of him in connection with the war;
! [ do not mean TO misreprescnt bim
| for he is gentleman of afability
and integrity. But 1 do say that
his course throughout the war was
in sympathy with the rebellion.
Had he left tho North and gone
South, and joined tho rebel army
he would have been only one man
more to receive n bullet and dic
the death Of attraitor; bat remain
ing, as he did, at the North, for
ever finding fault with, the govern
mont aud every measure that 1t
adopted for the suppression OF the
rebellion, decrying.tbo draft and
stigmatisipg the government in
every way and in every form, no
actually did morefor the cause OF
the rebellion than any single army
corps that eyer fought upon tho
| baitlefclds Of this country, And
it was undoubtedly owing to this
fact-and this undoubtedly was
the reason Why bewas brought for
ward in that convention. and re-
ceiyed the nomination as their can
didate for President OF the United
States. -' = -.
