such vas the ere in the rear'' which,
though opened t0olate to avail Lee in Penn
sylvania, served to str mp the great Rebel
lion IN this Clt5. whereby SO many houses
were bUEnti negroes hunted through our
streets like wolves, hanged and burned
when caught and the Colored Orphan Asy-
lun piIlaged and burned to the ground. It
was q body Of those Rebel rioters, fresh
from the sack ofTlle Tribune office, which
they hrea Rnd wantd have burned but for
the prompt interp osition of the Police, that
he addressed as friends, !" and begged to de-
sist from their work while he should send
TO Washington and get the draft (which was
their prs1eEt) postponed or aYerted. Not
one indignant rem0natrance, not one earn
est threat, not one word eyincing displeas-
ure, did he addreas t. the m1screants whose
dens were then glutted with plunder as
their hands were red with murder.
The next. Autumn Seymour procured a
renomination for Governor by his charac-
teristic dodge Of affecting to decline, and
stamped the State as an advocate ofhis own
election and that 0f1IcClellan and Pendle-
ton.z EyeryHilers I'VE appeal to the thous-
ands who heard hin, ) he iII1afssed that no
progress lad bean made toward putting
down the RebelSion Though Grant held
Richmond By the throat, and sherman had
taken Atlanta, while the Mississippi ran free
from Ohio to the Gulfl-that the credit of
the Rebel Government In Europe was better
than that Of the Unton-and that our Ma
tiOnal Debt already nearly equaled the val
ne Of an the prOberty In the country, ron
dering real estate yaluelesS and industry
fruitless. We appeal to those who
heard him 70 sustain our assertion
that every one Of his carefully rounded
and daily reiterated paragraphs would have
ELECTED the enthusiastic shouts af any Reb-
el army, as his nomination IN Tammany
was hailed with the frantic, stsntorian ac-
elamation Of the thousand Rebel Congress-
men, Generals coIoneIs, &C., there assem-
bled, which have by this time been echoed
in every Rebel conclave from the Potomac
TO the Rio Grande, -.a
such is the chosen leader Of the hosts of
Reaction and AristocEacy, in the contest
now opened. No man ever heard Of his
uttering q generous word for the ignorant,
Iow1y, downtnodden African-all these he
would disfranchise tomorrow lfhe had pow
er, while he insists that the South shall be
given over to the keeping OF the naughty
Rebels, who hold thatthey have committed
no wrong and forfeited no right in eonspir-
ing and lighting 70 destroy the Union. If
this man can be chosen President over Ulys-
ses s. Grant, then the patriot blood poured
out like water at Gettysburg, Vicksburg,
Mission Ridge, and in-the advanceto Rich-
In0nd, was shed I'm vain.
