From the New Tork Tribune.
GOV. SKYMOUIl'S L.OYAL.TV.
The World is very willing to occupy
out columns with citations intended to
prove Gov. Seymour's fidelity to hi?
countrj during her late fearful trial,
but carefully avoids any citation or
consideration of the proofs we offer of
his disloyalty. We demur to such
long rane controversy and insist on a
mote decisive method. Let us see how
the World will relish and receive a
close prapple as follows :
I. We choree that Horatio Seymour
at the Tweddle Hall Convention ot
Jan. 31, lSGl, fuiioiifly assailed the
Republicans in Congress for proposing
to resist Secession and Lisunion by
force, saying :
-Lrt us see if successful Coercion by
the North is Itss revolutionary than
successful Secession by the South."
Does the World admit or deny thi?
II. We charge that James S. Tha
yer then and now a prominent and
zealous Seymourite followed him in
these mf morable words :
"If we cai ntt we ran at least, in an
authoritative nay and a practical man
tier, arrive at the basf s of a praceablf
Epperation renewed cheersj; we can
at least by discussion enlighten, settle,
ai;d roncei trte the public sentiment in
the Siaie of New York upon lhi
question, and ave it from that fearful
current that circuitously, but certainly
weeps madly on. through the narrow
gorge of 'the enforcement of the laws.'
to the shorelers ocean of civil war
Cheers J Against this, under all cir
cumstar.ces, in every place and form,
we n ust now and sit all times oppose a
resolute and unfaltering resistance.
The public mind will bear the avowal,
and let us make it that if n revolution
of fore i to begin, it shall be inaugu
rated at home. Cheeis.J And it the
incoming Administration .-hall attempt
to curry out the line of j ol icy that has
ben foreshadowed v announce that
when the hand of Block Republicanism
turns to llntid red. and seeks freni th
f rBgmpnt r,f ihe Constitution to construct
a scaffolding for coercion another
name for execution we will rererce
the order of the Frenrh Revolution,
and save the blood of the people by
makinjr thoe who would inaugurate a
n-icn of terror the firot victims of a na
tional guillotine.'' Euihusustic an
piau e.
We charge that Reuben H. Wal
worth, (another of Seymour's 'friends')
follow d in these terms:
'It would be brutal, in my opinion,
to send men to butrher our own bro
thers of the Southern States as it would
be to massacre them in th Northern
Strtes. We are told, hwever, that it
nur duty to ai d we mu-t enforce the
law. But whv? and what laws are
we to enforce? There were law that
were to be enforced in the time of the
American Revolution, and the British
Parliament and Lord Nnh sent ar
mies here to enforce them.
But what dirl Washington say ir
resard to the enforcement of the laws?
That man honored at home and
abroad more than any oilier man on
earth ever was honored did he go for
enforcing the laws? No, he went to
resist laws ihatere oppressive nninsi
a free people, and asmn't ihe injustice
of which they rebelled, Loud cheers
'Did Lord Chatham eo to enforce
the laws? No; hep'oried in his defense
nf the liberties tif America. He made
that memorable declaration in the
British Parliament. 'If I was an
American citizen instead of being, as I
am. an Englishman, I never would sub
mit cl such laws never, never, rever.
Prolonged applause
III. We charge that, whi'e George
W. Clinton also a Democrat em
phatirally condetnmed and rebuked
these disloyal fulminations, Horatio
Seymour did not He uttered no word
which implied disent from the doc
trine of Thayer and Walworth, or in
timated that ibey had gone further
than his lead would arrant In fact,
theirs were simply bldrr iteraiitns of
his more guarded but equally eignifi
rant tuggeetk n. What says the
World
IV. We charge that Gov. Seymour
a fe.v week after that Convention, le
ing in our City ana meeting here Judge
Charles II. Ruggles, asked him 'Judge

stitution? I have- and it is pre
ferable to the Federal Constitution

ourselves adopting the Confederate
Constitution?' that is. by superseding
the b ederal by the Confederate Gov
errment. kicking out Lincoln, and
making Dvi our President. What
says the World to thi.-?
V We charge that, when the Re
publicans, then a majority of at least
Fifty Thousand proposed to ignore par
y altogether in the election of 1S61
and unite the whole people nf our State
on a ticket selected from both parties,
and standing on the simple platform of
a vigorous prosecution of the War for
the Union. Horotio Seymour and his
friends rejected ihe proffer, insifting
on a part) ticket and a party platform
surcharged with hostility to those on
whom the Nation had devolved the dmy
of defending its existence. What is th
answer to this?
VI. We charge that Horatio Sey
maur publicly said, soon after tha issue
of Lincoln's first proclamation of free
doni that, if the Union could only be
maintained by abolishing Slavery, then
(he Union o"ght to be given up. Dues
The World deny this t
VII. We charge that Horatio Sey
mour, being elected Governor of our
State, gavtt but a cold, reluctant, hesi
tating, grudging, caviling support to
the Federal authorities, than struggling
U avert the disruption of the Uuion, so
that President Lincoln was constrained
to say to his brother, who was at ihe
White House on business. "Please
remind your brother, the Governor,
that if he ever is to be President of the
United States there must be such a
con'ry left to preside over."
III. We charge that, when it be
came necessarry to resort to drafting
to replenish the National armies, Gov,
Seymour threw bis influence against
ihe resort; and, in appealing to the
President to suspend its enforcement,
menacingly said:
It is bel-ived by at leat one half
of the people of the loyal S ates that
the Couscription act, which they are
called upon to obey because it is on the
statute book, is in itself a violation of
the supreme constitutional law.
I do not dwell upon what I be
lieve would be the consequences of a
violent, harsh policy, before the con
stitu'ional ty of the act is tested. You
ran scan the future as well as I. The
temper of the people you can readily
earn.,'
Does any man on eanh believe that
'he man who thus dtmandrd of the
President a suspension of ihe Draft
till its constitutionality could be tested
in the Courts, really wished the Rebel
lion put down by the strong arm ? A
few days before, he had said to th
rioiers assembled in our City Hall
Park:
'I assure you my fellow citizens that
I am here to show you a test of my
friendship Cheerl I wish to iuform
you that I have sent m. Adjutant Gen
t . ... - ...
erai 10 v asningion to conter wnn the
authorities the &, and to have this IJraft
suspended and stopped." Vociferous
cheers.
Mr Lincoln thus appealed to as
thoueh he was drafting men from mere
wanton caprice, and might as well
wail a year or two as not thus cogent
ly responJJ Sevmour' . nnreas
ouaoie demand :
I da not ot jct to abide the decision
of the United S ates Supreme Court, or
of the Judges thereof, on the constitu
tionality cf the Draft law. In fact, I
rhou!d be willing to facilitate the ob
a tiling of it: But I cannot consent to
lose the time while it is being obtained.
We are contending with an enemy
who, as I understand, drives every able
I o lied man he can reach into his ranks
very much a a butcher drives bullocks
into a slaughter pen. No time is wast
d, no argument is used This pro
duces an army which will soon turn
upon our victorious soldiers already in
ti e field, if ihty shall not be sustain d
by recruits as they should be. It pro
duces an army with a rapidity n it to
be matched on our side, if we first
watt- time experimenting wiihthe volun
leer system, already deemed by Con
gress, and palpably in fact, so far ex
hausted as to be inadequate; and then
more time to obtain a Court decision as
to whether a law is cous itutional which
requires a part of ibose not now in the
service to go to the aid of those who
are already in it; and still more time to
determine with abso'uie certainty that
we get those who are to go in the pre
cisely lega' proportion to those who arp
not to go. My purpose is to be in my
action jut and contitutional, and yet
practical, in performing the important
duty with wh'ch I am charged, of
maintaining the unity and the free
principles of our common country."
These contrasted utterances are
chbracterisiic of their respective au
thors; and vfiost certainly, either Abra
ham Lincoln or Horatio Seymour was
not a loyal zealous fatriol thronphnut
our great trial What says the World1.
We have more to offer on thi fruit
ful theme, but will await the World's
response to the foregoing.
The New Urle'tins Crrseni of the
10th contains the following in
8ructive paragraph : We were as
tonished ye.-terday morning to see the
Siars and Bars the flg o the late
Southern Confederacy floating proud
ly from the jack-stalTof one of our Red
River packets. We must confess that
the sight ot it caused the blood to course
quickly through our vein. a it carried
u back to scenes far different from
those row presented to nur gaze."
The Cresent flies the Seymour and
Blair flag.
The Richmond "Whig evidently con
aiders the Pendleton platform, adopted
at New York, a fr4.1l and uncertain
nffair. It says: 'It Iravely under

Let us beware how we of the South

The Democratic party have made a
discovery in logic. They have invent
ed a new mode of political argument.
They have discovered thai bad spelling
id a means of conviction, if nut ot grace.
Mcderately bad spelling is understood
10 have a satirical effect. Very bad
spelling bus all ttie force of the severest
invective. During the war it was dis
covered that active sympathy with the
Rebellion was entirely patriotic and
prjper wh.eu styled and spelled "zeal
in the cause." But an equally earnest
devotion tu the salvation of the Union
wus found to become a subject of "11 fi
nite jest' when rendered "zeel-in-the
kaws." The desire that all men
should be free, the genuine love of
tieedoiti not ouly for ourselves but for
others, which has animated the no
blest minds of the age, became simply
ndiculous by the addition of inverted
commas and the omission of an "e"
Freedom was something that Washing
ton Kosciusko, Lafayette, and Gari
baldi fought tor. How wide the con
trast between these noble spirits and
Jolm Brown, Abraham Lincoln, and
the Union armies, who only fought for
"frtdum." The Declaration of Inde
pendence was cherished as a great
charter of equal rights for all men.
But it became very absurd when its
leadini' theme was spelled 'ekal rites.
The effect of inverted commas to de
mulish the most sacred ideas was im
mense. If there are any two words in
the langUiige which il would seem
should be exempt from polution, they
are God and humanity. But it was
only necessary to throw these words
between quotation marks to render
them odious, and to deprive them of all
status in ie.-peciable society. One
would think that after the suppression
of the Rebellion, and when even the
rebels themselves profess to be truly
loyal, there would be no opprobrium in
having been loyal during the war.
not so. The new born and reluctant
atjuiesceuce of the defeated rebel i
worthy of all acceptation, because
pelled "truly loyal." But the con
tempt w'vh which those who claim 10
be truly loyal now. regard th se who
have never been otherwise, finds se
vere expres;iou in branding the latter
with the onhogrBphic siigma "trooly
loii.- Tt..y i.i.a complacent de
light in hurling this sharp juvelin at
ihose who fought and sustained the war
for the Union, as if this unquestiona
bly bad spelling would bear with it the
seeds of contagious disease, and leave
the soldiers and citizens on the Union
s de of the lte contest parching with
fevers and pitted with small-pox.
Probably Gen Grant, when he clos
ed his lei er accepting the unanimous
nomination of the Kepullican party
for the Presidency with the patriotic
aspiration, "Let us have peace," had
no thought hew easily those who dur
ing the war were for peace, and since
the peace are for war, might turn his
simple and noble prayer into ridicule
by spelling it, "Lesh u.-h hab peash."
Yet so it is. In all its palpable ridicu
lou-ness, the prayer of the conqueror
of the Rebellion stand- revealed by a
little judicious and effective misspell
ing. The hero of the War is demol
ished, end proved 10 be a mere shoul
der strapped, civilian, by simply quot
ing his rank thus, "General'' Grant
'hich proves that he i not General
Grant. And, by styling Ulysses S
Grunt, H:ram U Grunt, because he
was so styled in his infancy, the entire
history of thi war is wiped out as ef
fectually as Christianity is obliterated
by styling Jesus "a carpenter," or fcl.
Paul "Saul of Tarsus.
We congratulate the democratic par
ty on the fertility of its resources and
he profundity of its arguments as
shown in these home thrusts of ortho
graphy. They are unanswerable. If
anybody can show that such a deluge
of inverted commas and bad spelling

ought to be elected President, let him
undertake the difficult task. We shrink

General J. L. Alcorn, one of the
ablest men in Mississippi, in his late
speech at Holly bpiings, paid a hand
some tribute to General (irant. He
said the Southern people owed him a
debt of gratitude; that he had savd the
nation in mercy, and when the South
had surrendered her armies, General
Grant had held in check ihe fierce
wrath of Andrew Johnson, who stood
ready to make good his pledge of blood
and coufi. cation. He stated that twelve
months since be had written a letter in
which he had declared for Grant. He
still declared for him as the only hope
of pence to the land. Elect Grant and
all will be well-defeat him and intes
tine feuds and internal comoiion would
continue in the land, pressing back our
coming prospects and opening the way
to wider ruin

the nominotiou of Seymour and Bla.r.
So has Toombs , the traitor Senator of

faithless Secretary of the Treasury,
who deserted his post and perjured
himself to take a position in the Rebel
Government of Jeff D.i vis ; so has Al

drew his pay in gold from the Trea

then hastened to take a command in
the Rebel army; so has Vance, late
Rebel Governor of North Carohna,
who declared to the Rebels of Rich

overthrow of the Rebellion, it would
gain by tne election of Seymour and
Blair ; so has Wade Hampton, who
prophesies that the cause for which
Jackson arid Stuart died will yet be

rebel General, and so thoroughly de

death, that he scorns a pardon for his
treason, and so has every Ku Klux
assassin in the South, who plies the
trade of murder, and illuminate ihe
darkness of midnight by the burning
of dwellings of Union men. Wrho shall
say henceforth that the New York nom
inations have not been enthusiastically
received?"
Mr. W. H Russell, the well known
correspondent of the London Times,
throws some light upon the question of
Mr, Seymour's loyalty in the following
passage from his published 'Diary
Nonh and South " Mr. Rusell is
describing a dinner party in New York
in 1S61:
"The occasion offer d itself to Mr.
Horatio Seymour to give me his views
cf ihe Constitution of the United Stales,
and by degiees th theme spread over
the table. There was not a
nun who maintained that the Govern
ment had sny power to coerce the
people of that State or to force a State
10 rlii. in u trio Union or undee ihe
action of the Federal Government.
Althought they admitted the
Southern leaders had meditated the
treason against the Union years ago,
hey could not bring themselves to al
low their old opponents, the Republi
cans now in power, to dispose of the
armed force ot the Union againtt their
brother Democrats in the Southern
States Mr. Seymour is a
men of con-promise, but his views go
further than those which
were entertained by his
party two years ago. JIHhough Sects
sion would produce revolution, it was,
nev rtheless, tn his optuion. a right,
joiivded on abstract principles which
could scarcely be abn gated with due re
gard to the original compact"

there the discussion will be removed to

The Democratic pap-rs assert tha
there is a great reaction in favor of
Seymour and Bla;r, and for proof they
offer you the fact that Senator IXolit
tie aid fvo or three other whilom Re
publicans suppsri that ticket. On sim
ilarly strong grounds the devils in
Hades doubtless thought there was a
tremendous reaction" when Lucifer,
llungfrrmthft battlements of heaven,
came tumbling into their midst.
Gov. Seymour, in July. 1S63. de
precated the draft riot's of New York,
not because they were an outrageous
resistance to law, but because they
disturbed ihe quiet of the city of New
York. He was like the railroad engin
eer, who said he hated to run over n
man because "It mussed up the track
to."
The Pr ividen ce Journal says : "The
President, in his message vetoing the
Electoral College Bill, says that some
of the inhabitants of New York were in
ihe Rebellion as well as the inhabitants
of Virginia. We suppose we shall be
compelled tn admit the fact; but isn't
the President unnecessarily severe
uponGov. Seymourand his 'friends ?"'
A correspondent commenting on the
course of Th New-York World, in
speaking of Grant as "Hiram," says:
"If St Paul were our candidate for

and were astouiahed to find that it bad

ticulars, so as to change its sense and
make it conform to the amendments
which the Democrats had previously
proposed. Acids had been u.ed to
eiase tertaiu words, and in their place
others substituted. No less than eight
such alterat'ons were detected.
Some of the Western Democratic
Delegites complain ot the small sum
of money they received for shoving the
Seymour scow through the Conven

Au InHan being asked what he did
for a living, replied, "Oh. me preach.'
Pteach !' said a bystauder. "What
do you get paid for preaching?" 'Some
times me get shillin. sometimes two
shillin, and its mighty poor pay." 'Oh
yes, but its mighty pour preach,"
They had a Democratic pow-wow 111

Tbey tried to pu'l him down, but he
continued : Wbin I first came to the

Blair's pluyed out." Here the speaker
was squelched by a bushwacker.
The Oneida Dispatch has found out
why Seymour is a statesman. Because
he is a wai man in time of peace, and
a peace man in time of war. In peace
he is invincible, in war be is invi-ible.
He never had anything to do with Na
tional affairs, except to oppose the draft
and denounce the Uni n soldiers as
"invadeis" and "Lincoln's hirelings."
Does that make him a statesman ?
A dispatch tu the Cincinnati Enquir

gentleman is an ardent supporter of
Seymourand Blair Blair especially.
The Lawrence (l'enn) Journal,

"Our soldiers run well this year,"
was the sneering remark made by
Seymour after a series of reverses in
