We propose to keep the above sentiments of
the respective candidates in type until the Sd of
November. There is no single good reason why
any well-wisher of our national interests should
vote for the Copperhead nominees. Seymour is
a Copperhead in the fullest sense of the term
He was, during the war, in full sympathy with
the rebels, and left no stone unturned that could
advance their interests. When Lee was march
ing into Pennsylvania with the avowed intention
of establishing his headquarters in New York or
Philadelphia, the supporters of Horatio Seymour
organized rebellion in the chief city of the
State of which he was Governor. Mobs, infuri-
ated with whisky, demanded that the draft then
in progress should be stopped, and by way of
showing their friendship for the Governor burn
ed and sacked Government offices and orphan
asylums, and shot down citizens in cold blood
With the sound of the enemy's guns in their
ears Seymour's supporters made the streets of
New York run with blood, their purpose being
to prevent the reinforcements so urgently de-
manded and so much needed by the brave men
who were trying to turn the tide of the rebel in
vasion. For days the city was under the control
of this mob. What did Governor Seymour? He
DID NOT invoke the assistance of the military to
put down the rebels who had control of the CITY:
he DID NOT attempt to protect the citizens whose
dwellings were being fired, and who were de-
Tending themselves with arms in their hands
But he DID call together these ed-handed MUIR
derers, and spoke to them. He addressed them
as q my friends and begged them to quit MUIR
dering and burning until he could send to Wash
ington and have the draft stopped This was
the extent of his interference, and the mob, TAX
ing it for what it was worth, went on with their
bloody work.
There is not in the whole North man who
did more to make the rebellion success than
Horatio Seymour. There is not in the North a
man who has more loyal blood upon his hands.
STEPPED in disloyalty, the Democratic National
Convention yet had the effrontery to put him for
ward their standard-bearer. He would if
elected, put the country back twenty years, and
fasten upon it all the evils of which it has been
cndeavorng to rid itself. Dom vote for him
