| 1t is remarkable how quickly and
audaciously thesold secession and rebel
leaders of the Southern States have
spfiif1g to the foreground since the nom
ination of Horatfo Seymour. -
J Previous to that event. and ever since
the destruction of the rebel Confeder-
acy by the Union arms; they had eth

tion of leaders, orsthey had come fer
ward. in something like a becoming
attitude. to exercise their influence
with the people in favor of the recog-
milton of the new order of things which
had risen after the settlement of the
pro-slayery struggle.
But now-A-and this is the thing to
which we wish especially to call the at
tention of the loyal American people
we not only. see, these oldtime ,Seces-
sionists coming forward to resume
their former places as leaders of
affairs, but we see them coming for
ward to glorify the rebel cause, to vin-
dictate its claims, to reassert its preten-
sions. TO advocate its silceess and to
lproclaim their hopes of its triumph.
This is the startling spectacle which
we have witnessed during the. last tw O
or three weeks. 2
| We have seen men bearing such i'll
lomed names. as Wise Toonrbs, Vance,
| 9erger, Semmes and Hampton. pro-
lclaimfng to that remnant of the South
ern people which did not fall bloody
victims TO their accursed rebellion, that.
in the triumph OF the Democracy. there
lis yet life for the lost cause" and in
the election ofsSeymour. there is hope
for the detestable principles which, but
three brief years ago, we supposed had
been shot into political perdition by q
million of American rifles. Ef.
| We have seen the iire-eater Wise pro-
Eclaiming publicly that secession is not
dead. but is waiting for the opportuni-
ty of its reassertion through the revo
Elutionary party which has just taker
the field. We have heard the fire -eatel
Toombs proclaiming the. doctrine Of
! notification in the old fashion, utter
ing the. same, denunciations as of ole
with all the former bitterness, pouring
his maledietions on the brave men who
saved the Union, and threatening tt
} resist to the DEATH the laws Witches

of suffrage throughout the South. We
have seen the implacable Secessionis
Vance proelaiming that 'what the Con
federacy fought for would be woI

principles was about to be destroy ed.
And then. after this declaration that Ii
had carried out his constitutional idea

the gallant Winslow sent to the bot
