We do not pro pose to tbriifct a daer iuto tbe radinal tlau Vrers ol the DeuiocrMtio lioiiiiuee tor the Pre sidency. O'her times briuif ot her inauuerd. It it apparently jot a fashionable now as it Was iu the timed of Hir l'hilip for partisans to "play thu knave." Hut it has ceased to be faihinahle to torrent them hy thrusting dag gers iuto theui. We may permit the editors f the rust, the Iribuw, auit the Union, there fore, to drag out a lew more years in the prao tioe f prevarication and slander. Hit "few words" are still best iu dealing with them; and we therefore make haste to utter these few words ou a theme which they probably misunderbtaud, and which they certainly mis represent. It is not the World wht :li iuatsts that "Oiv emor Seymour put down the New York riot of 1803," nor is it the World which avers "that but lor Governor Seymour's timely aud energetio measures of help Lee would have beaten Meade at Gettysburg." These points lire made not by the ' World, but by history. Mayor Opdyke, of New York, testifies to the first; President Lincolu and President Lincoln's War Secretary, Mr. Stanton, testify to the Second. To question either of theiu is to ily in the face of history, aud to challenge the veracity of Opdyke, Lincoln, aud btautou. We have other matters to atteud to besides proving that two aud two make four. That Governor Seymour did his duty, and more than his duty, as the Executive of the Kmpire State during the great Rebellion, no lionebt man, no man worth wasting shot aud powder upon, will ever bo much as preteud to question. Ourcoucern just now is to make candid and inquiring persons understand that the reason why the iiulical journals would ha glad to induce the Democracy to waste their time upon questions which are no questions at all is simply this, that they go iu fear of the actual issues of the hour upon wblsb. this coming Presidential battle is to be fought out. Their nomination of General Grant is itself a confession of their terror ou this point. The question wLich tbe couu'ryis to decide in November next, is not how the Union ca'iie to be victorious in arms, but bow that Union has failed to be consolidated in peace. The civil war, in whieh General Grant won bis high rark iu the army, a rank which as Charles Sumner, citing tbe ancient liomau practice, declares, ougtit to forever preclude him from demanding high civil rewards from his countrymen, was brought to an end three years and more ago. The choice of the coun try between the Presidential candidates now presented for its suffrages, and the platforms on which those candidates are to staud, must he determined, not by any reference to the ancient history of the now ended civil war, hut hy full and minute examination of the modern history of "reconstruction" fince the war. If all that is claimed for General Grant as a general in the war were conceded, it would Btill be plain that he has put himself since the War into tbe bauds of the radical faction to whom we owe it that three years of peace have cost us Learly as much as four years of war, and that the prospects of the country are to day not better, but worse than they were when Lee laid down his arms at Appomattox Court House in April, We assail the radical oartv because it has thrown awav our Victories, demoralized our success, and blasted our hopes, which, three years ago were so glorious and bo green. We protest agaiust the election of General Graat to the Presi dency, just as the people of Great Britain pro tested against the premiership of the Dake of Wellington when the victor of Waterloo threatened to become the instrument of domestio discord aud despotism. The radioal claim that General Graut is a fit person to be trusted with the helm of civil power in 18JS hecause he received the sword of Lee in sur render some years ago, id only relatively more absurd than their other claim, that Schuyler Colfax ought to be made Vice-President hecanse his grandfather belouged to the bo iy gnard of General Washingti n. We live in an age in which great eventa succeed each other too rapidly tor practical men to worship tradition or be ruled by recol lections. The distress, exhaustion, and disgust of the nation to-day are not to be appeased by singing eongs over the events of 1805. Every body is glad to remember that Governor Sey iour saved Pennsylvania from invasion iu 18U3, and that General Grant forced liuckner to surrender Port Donelson in 18G2. Bat Pennsylvania having been saved and Fort Don elson taken, the country has now to protect Itself from the Congressional usurpation, folly, and extravagance represented by the nomina tion of General Graut at Chicago. And it therefore prefers to accept the auguries of re foiui, economy, and constitutional good faith ofleied to it by the nomination of Horatio Sey mour at New Yoik. Dangerous Whitewashing. Fram tlie If. r. veiling tost. Mr. Pendleton supports Mr. Seymour, he lays, because he is iu lavor ot taxing the binds and against paying them; the Woild supports Mr. Seymour because, as it holds, he id in faW of paying, but not taxing them. Vance of North Carolina, Wise of Virginia, aui Tombs of Georgia, support Mr. Seymour, as a friend of the late Confederacy; the World. on the other hand, is engaged in an attempt to Drove that, do one was more vehemently loyal, or more active in helping to put down Is Uatiellion, than Air. oeymour. The World in ists that Mr Seymour put down the New York riot; that without Mr. Savmour's timelv aud unereetio measures of kln. Lee would have beaten Meade at ilettys lrg; that Mr. Seymour, iu fact, did a great dC2, aid with extraoidiuary vigor, to put dowtt the Rebellion. We do not mean now to dilute with the World on this question, though it might very 3stiy ie taut that it what Mr. reymour did injured the cause of Iivis, what he said, an 1 the mnner in which he acted aud spoke, often ia critical moments encouraged the Rebel leaders, aud alarmed and discouraged the sup porters of the Union. Bat does not the World perceive that its manner of supporting Mr neymonr is weaK, aua injurious rather than helpful to him 1 It deuiaud Mr. Seymour's election ou tbe score of his services duriue- th War. Bat all that it imputes to him of devo tion to the Union compares after all but poorly With Grant a record; and if services .to the Union, and against the Rebellion, are to be made the test of merit, the Republican party must carry the day, without question. Te trnih is, Mr. Seymour "supported" the War as the WbU-s "supported" the Mexican War, and as the Federalii's "supported" the "War of 1812; he endured it, because he could tot help Limstlf; he ppoke agaiust it aud gainst those who thought the war just, Hgh' eoup, and unavoidable; he was elected I Goveibor by those voters who were opposed to I 'he war, wLo expected and hoped for its failure, and who imagined Davis to be a far pi eater ptatesnian than I.iucoln, and thought 'tbe South" as they called the secessionists tijffet and deserving of success. There is no doubt that these people believed that Mr. Seymour, if elected, would effectively feivn their purpose, which was po to embar-. rss the Government as to compel it to with draw tbe Union armies, and give the victory to the Rebel leaders. There is no donbt either that tbe violent secessionists were disappointed in Mr. Seymour's administration and for the very good reason that Mr. Seymour ia a man who taiks, but does not act. They expected that with him In power at Albany the great Slate of New York would be placed in direct opposition to the General Government, and that the example of New York un ler Sey mour would have a disorganizing effect in other Statep. Eo, too, iu the Soutkern Statep, the election of Mr. Snymour cause I great rejoicing; the Rebel newspapers encour aged their readers to hope for "great events" iu New York, favorable to the fortunes of the Confederacy; the Rebel leaders plnokel up fieth courage, aud urged their soldiers to re newed efforts, by telling them of the hopeful t lection of Seymour. To a certain extent Mr. Seymour, a? Gov ernor, justified the hopes of the secessionists, North and South. He appointed such meu as John A. Green aud Walter S. Church, notori ous pympathizers with the Rebellion, to important commands iu the State militia and thus, as everybody remembers, spread alarm and uneasiness among the friends of the Union cause, and n ade the hearts of the secessionists beatb'gh with hope. Moreover, his language caused a very General belief that he was opposed to and would resist the conscription, whuh had then become necessary. His whole attitude was one of hostility; for months he was regarded as an element of dauger, both by the authorities at Washington aud by the nippoiters of tbe Union everywhere; and, on the other hand, the enemies of the Union, the friends of the Rebellion, and the Rebels them selves, were filled with joyoua expectation of what be would pn.hably do. Rut it is Mr. Seymour's way to Bit down ba tween two stools; to try to please both sides; to talk loudly and to act inildly. When the crisis came when poor Lee matched into Pennsylvania on that foolish campaign in which be vaiuly looked for a rising iu his favor Governor Seymour so far disappointed the expectations of his friends, that they openly cursed him for "going back on them," as they phrased it. If Governor Seymour had seen the authoiitie3 at Washington iliuch, be might have beeu eucnuHged to carry out tbe policy of opposition to the war. Rut fmd'ug the Government firm, he wisely suc cumbed. In fact, he may, perhaps, be called the victim of two circumstauces, named Stau ton and Lix. Rut we do not think his recorl in the war, in itstP, of surpassing importance, or even of great consequence. We have discussed it chit-Jly to show what manner of man Mr. Sey mour is; a mau of an unsteady purpose; a man who would keep the country in turmoil aLd alarm, if he should become Presideut; who would keep alive the hopes of fartionists, as Mr. Johnson has done, by his words, aud by his less important acts; and who would yet, in all probability unless he were subject to the iuilneiice of the more reckless Blair disap point the factionists, just as Mr. Johnson has disappointed them. Now we believe that no greater harm could befall the country tbau to have, during the next four years, a President of this temper and spirit. What the country needs is peace, quiet, certainty, rest from political excite mentor rather from political suspense. Tuid it can have only under a President of agree able temper, of a firm will, aud of a simple, but assured policy. "Let us have peace," wrote Grant; and that is the best and the sufficient platform. J be nation needs a ruler in general sympa thy with what has been done; one who will not either tear up. or allow others to tear up, what has been painfully, aud perhaps in some cases blunderingly, accomplished, but yet is actually done. It needs a man who will with, a firm, regular hand, with a sure eye, main tain peace aud order; it requires, iu fact, a captain of police and the victor of Fort Don- elson, Vicksburg, Chattanooga, and Appomat tox Court House, the mau who dispersed the great Southern riot, is assuredly a njore capa ble officer than he whose first impulse, when forced to iace a mutiny, was to coddle the mutineers, and promise them that they should have what they wanted. It is not the Northern btates which would he most injured by Mr. Seymour's election to the Presidency, hut the Southern. It is of ex treme importance to the people of these States, white or black, that society should proceed there, henceforth, upon a regular and orderly system, For ourselves we have not been overly particular, as our readers know, what that system should be, so long as all meu were alike tree alike ia the equal enioyment of rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of hap piness. We have believed that, these things granted, all needtal reforms would be surely obtained. But we see harm and danger, and only these, in any policy which would now overturn what has been achieved, aud bring contusion aud disorder, where at last there is a promise of order and system. Therefore, we couceive that even those who are not convinced that, the Congressional policy of reconstruction ia tbe wisest, should yet resist its overthrow, now that it has done its work. And the way to do that is to vote for Graut, aud against Seymour. For the election of Grant means peace; the election of Seymour means four years more of wrangling, of derangement and disorder in our atlairs; it means a vacillating policy, a weak ruler; a man at the helm who cannot keep the ship steady, and who may mismanage and founder her. The Socosfeionists iu the Field TJtcIr Dc- hlns and Hopes. F) om the 2V. Y. Time. It is remarkable how quickly and auda ciously the old secession and Rebel leaders of the Southern States have sprung to the fore ground since the nomination ot Horatio Sey mour. Previous to that event, and ever since the destruction of the Rebel Confederacy by the Union arms, they had either refrained ffom forcing themselves upon public attention in their old position of Waders, or they had oome forward, in something like a becoming atti tude, to exercise their iuildence with the people in favor of tbe recognition of the new order of things which had risen after the settlement of the pro-slavery struggle. Rut now and thia is the thing to whioh we wish fcopecially to call the attention of the loyal American people we not only see these old-time Secessionists Coming forward to re sume their former places as leaders of affairs, but we see them comiug forward to glorify the Rebel cause, to vindicate ita claims, to re assert its pretensions, to advocate ita suc cess, and to proclaim their hopes'of ita tri umph. This is the startling speotacle which we have witiitistd during the last two or three weeks. We have Been men bearing snob, ill-omened names as Wise, Toombs, Vatioe, Yerger, Bernmes, and Hampton proclaiming to that remnant of the Southern people which did not fall bloody victims to their accursed Rehelliou, that, in the triumph of the Democracy there is yet life for the "lost cause," and iu the election of Seymour there ia hope for the de testable principles which, but three short years ago, we enpposed had ben shot iuto political perdition by a million of American rillea. We have seen the fire-eater Wise proclaim iog publicly that Bfcession U not dead, but is waiting for the opportunity of it) reassertioa through the revolutionary party which has just taken the field. We have heard the fir eater Toombs proclaiming the doctrine of nulli fication iu the old fadiion, uttering the same denunciations as of old with all the former bitterness, pourlDg his mabdictiona on the brave men who have paved the Union, and threatening to "resist to the d-a'.h" the laws which establish political equality and freedom of suffrage throughout the South. We have seen the lui placable Seces sionist Vance proclaiming that "what the Confederacy fought for would be woa through tbe election of Seymour." We have seen "Chronometer" Seinuirs, of the Alabama, pro claiming at Mobile last Monday, at a Demo cratic ratification meetiug, that lie "had been a Democrat a 1 his life -before the war, during the war, and since the war aui fought the war on the principles of Demo cracy, believing that the graud old Constitu tion which embodied these principles was about to be destroyed." Aui then, after this declaration that he had carried out his constitutional ideas on the pirate decks of the fhip which the gallant Winslow sent to the bottom of the sea, we find him announcing on the same occasion : "And now, fellow-citizens, I have come here to declare that I have given in my allegiance, heart and soul, to the old flag, provided we can restore the old Hag agaiu to be the repre sentative of the principles of the Constitu tion, which we will be able to effect by tbe election of Seymour and Blair." And still again, at the same meetiug, he asserted that a Democratic success "will agaiu reduce the negro to a subordinate position as the inferior race, and restore the white man to the Govern ment which belongs to him." We have seen Wade Hampton, the Carolina Rebel leader, going rounl among the youug men of the Virginia colleges glontyiug tbe Rebel cause aud reasserting its principles; we hud him coming North here as a Democra tic delecate to threaten renewed resistance and another rebellion if his uujustitiable claims are denied by the Government; we find him in Raltimore, on Thursday last, reminding the Democratic Association of the time "when I was a soldier in the glorious army of Northern Virginia, and the sons of Maryland swept across the borders aud agaiu stood side by siie with South Carolina iu a great contest for liberty;" and we find him ia the Bame speech, and almost iu the same sentence, mingling the praises of the Rebel Gvnoruls wuh the eulogies of Horatio S ymour, and the past triumphs of the Confederacy with the expected victories of the Democracy. What has encouraged all the old secession leaders of the South to come out and rush around in this way at the present time 1 What has led them to utter such language, to indulge in Buch bop. to proclaim such schemes ? Are thev ignorant of what they are about ? Are they talking without kno w ing what they pay f Are they plauuiug with out understanding the ground they tread upon ? It is well that they have spoken, so as to warn the loyal people in time. It is the game of tbe more adroit aud uupriucipled Democra tic lead rs and organs iu the North to practise deception in all these matteis. Tuey are loud in their Unionism and demonstrative in their loyalty; they speak much of what they did to put down the Rebellion, and swear daily that they abhor secessionist. It is necessary to do this here, for they know that the American people have but to become aware of the ten dency of their principles and the purposes of their party, to crush out the one and the other in such a way as they will never again be likely to pretend to an existence. It is mortifying and humiliating to hear the language and see the pretensions and demon strations of these old secession leaders. Hardly have they ben compelled to surrender their arms before they are again assuming the airs of a dominant and domineering party. Hardly have we got the work of quelling the Rebellion before we see it again preparing for action. Hardly have we got through the san guinary labor of crushing their cause and principles before they are again proclaimed as though they had never been seriously wounded. It is evident that the loyal people of the country must rally at the polls to teach the Democratic party, and these secession leaders who look for it to carry out their sohemss, a lesson even more severe than it rot four years ago. The Loyally of Horatio Seymour. Yom A iV. y. Tribune. As the supporters of ex Governor Seymour for our next 1 resident see lit to claim for him a loyal, hearty support of the Union through' out its Btruggle for existence against the deadly assaults of slaveholding treason, we propose a somewhat careful examination of the point. We will begin by quo'.iug verbatim the main evidence whereon they rest their case: "Just before the toittle of G 'ttvubursr, July, lSr,.j, i lie ullicer ol liiveiuo' i-tey inmr's man, YtUobad breu rtierged by hi in wlin eupetlu-ti-noJn& the moveujeme ot the N. w Yorn trooi'N whom Goveruur 8c monr tuiow fo. ward w llh snch unexunipte l rupulli y him! energy to lesmi I Lie inva-ion or reunsyivania oy ueo, en Ilea lo shv mieuell to 1'reslileul Lilno tin.

World, 18. f Let us here turn aside just long enough to smash this personal calumny. On the 13:h of July, 1SC3, (the first day of the draft riots in our city) the editor of the Tribune was visited in his office about midday by a devoted friend, who urged and entreated him to accompany the said friend to his home, a few miles did tant. That friend assured him that he knew that the li'e of said editor was to he taken forthwith that it had been plotted and settled that he should be anearlyaud certain victim ef the ruffian mob then howling about the 1'ribune oihee and inciting each other to the assault which they actually made at dusk that night, when they smashed the windows, furniture, etc. and set nre to the building, bat were promptly routed and expelled by the police Riot, arson, aud pillage, were then rife iu diffe rent sectious ot our city, of which the Keb l mob appeared to have undisputed possession The editor (who writes this) Inform-d hia frittid that no hiog would induce him to lev ihe c t.v that he was where he had a right to be, and where tie should remain. Thai friend, atter exhausting remonstrance aud entreaty, left him to his fate, not expecting to ph him Brn. About 6 P. M. of that dy, the editor having finished hia work at the olll.?i went over 10 Windust'e eating-house for his dmn r, passing through the howling mob for nearly the entire distance, aud reeocnized by several of them. Two friends accompanied him, bvt not at hia invitation or suggestion. Neither of the three was aimed. At Windust's, dinner was ordered and eaten, exactly as on other days, but in the largest room in the house, without a shadow of concealment or hidiug of any kind. Diun r finished, the ed;t r took a carriage aud drove to his lo igiug. where he re sumed writing for the Tribune, aud continued it through the evening, sending down his copy to the ollice, and being visited thence by friends who infnrmed him of the mob's assault and the narrow escape of the building and contents from destruction. Remaining all night at his lodging, he returned nxt nioruiog to the office (now being armed), saw from a window the mob howling in its front hastily repair to the City Uall Park, there to listen to a harangue from Horatio Seymour, and re mained there nearly to the close of the day (lues Jay), when he was finally Induced to b ave by the representations of the good and true soldier who oommanded it aa a fortress that he would prefer that the mob should not be provided with the extra induce ment for assault which the known presence of Mr. Greelev in the building would aflord. He returned to the office the next morning, though the first hack in au to whom he applied refused to let him enter his car riage; and he was in the office nearly through out each day of that memorable week up to l rlday evening, when he (as usual) took the Harlem cars for hid home at Chapnaiua. where he 8 pent the Saturday, as he had done nearly every Saturday, save in wiuter, lor the last niteen years. And whoever asst-rts that he, at any time that week, "was hiding under Windust's table" is a branded liar, and villain, as Mr. Wiudust, Mr. Wil liam A. llali, aud other surviving; and most credible witnesses will gladly attest. Leaving his "friends," let ua now return to ex-Governor Seymour: The orld adds the following certificate (maik the date) from Secretary Stanton: "WAR I.lKPAKTMKNT, "WASUlMiTON, Jut.e27, 1863 "Pear S r:-I cannot lortiear exuies.tina to you Hie 0 ep obligation I leel for the promt t hi o ciinoiu Mippoit you nave given fie u v eiiinent in tbe present emeriienov.

We only say that if that gallant and truly loyal patiiot, James S. Wadsworth, had beeu chosen uoveruor in lbuU, nobody would have dreamed ot. thanking Aim for doing his simple duty to his country, nor of giving him a certificate of good behavior. lie never needed the article. In June, 1SU3, General Lee evading, by a Hank march, the Army ot the rotomac, which confionted aud stood ready to fight him outhe Rspptbannock invadrd Maryland and Penu sylvaijia. The movement us Lee's official leport virtually confesses was not defensible ou military, nor ou other than political gioutds. The Rebels hoped to win a victory on JNortbern soil, aud thereby to stimulate their Northern friends to declare openly in their favor, and thus, by paralyzing the Union Government, end the contest in triumph The Piesideut, justly alarmed and apprehen sive, called urgently on the Governors of the Northern States for militia. Governor Sey- monr promptly responded by sending all the uniformed aud disciplined militia of our city, with at least one regiment organized for the occasion. Jhe Fresident and hia V ar secre tary thanked him for so doing. And, if the 'ones thus sent were so iuauag-d that they did not get within gunshot of an enemy, ami nowise contributed to the glorious result of the Gettysburg struggle, the fault was not Governor Seymour's nor their own. JNow, then, having given Governor beymour full credit for sending away our organized militia, let ns see what was done In its absence by himself and hia "friends." ihe 1st of July, 180.3. was one of the darkest days of our Union. Grant stood before the still defiant intrenchments of Vicksburg. Ranks was likewise obstrncted by the earth works of Port Hudson. Each of these Gene rals, in the midst of a hostile region, was then probably confronted by foes on either side nearly if not quite as numerous as his own e'lective force. Our national resources and credit were at low-water mark. Milroy bad just been smashed at Winchester. We were making no headway in Tennessee, in North nor in tiouth Carolina. Hooker had been beaten by bad generalship at Cbancellorsville and forced to recrosa tbe Rappahannock. His vanquished army, just provided with a new aud untried commander, had countered Lee's dashing advance, aud was ooveiing Washington aud Baltimore while fol lowing the invader into Pennsylvania. Such were the circumstances of unprecedented gloom and peril under which Horatio Seymour, then Governor of our State, prepared and brought to this city a caiefully written oration wherein he nowhere recognizes the Rebel Government and aimies as public and formidable enemies, whose confidently expected and speedy tri umph involved our national downfall aud ruin, but, from beginning to end arraigned Presi dent Lincoln and hia Administration as the great malefactors, of the age the chief sources of national evil aud peril. Here is a part of hia caiefully studied aud moat envenomed assault on them: 'A few years ago we stood before thl com munity to wuru llieui ol the dangers ot sectional fciiile; out our leara were laughed at.

(Qreal Hp,lnuo ) Having thua groaaly miarepresented, aud defamed those who were trying to save the Union from the conspiratora in the Free States who secretly cloaked their treason, aud dnl not difguise their sympathy with the Uehel caufe, Uovernor Seymour turue i upou the Republicans, and thus addressed them: "We only ask Hut you shall give to us that which you clHlm for ourselvex, mid I Hat which every liteman, and every man who res.eo's himself, will have, Ireedom ot hpet-ch, t ie rig it to ezercUe all tne franchises c interred bv l ie ( OUKillu lon up in American citizen.

II we should acquiesce in the doctrine tnat, lu llmtsof war, constitutions are su-ipuuded, and iHWiLave lust tneir force, then we stntuid ac ci pi a doctrine that the very rigut by whicti tu s Government administers ita power tins lost lis virtue, and we would be Proliant down to the level of Rebellion itself, baviug hh existence only by virtue of material power.

Who can fail to see here the seed openly sown whence sprung our baleful harvest of riot, arson, rapine, and murder, eight to ten days afterwards? But Governor Seymour was not content with holding up to reprobation the President, the Administration, aud the party which sus tained them, aa the guilty authors of our national woes and perils. He exulted over our national disasters and disappointments as lollows: "When I accepted the invitation to speak wltli otneis, at inis meeting, we were prooiised the downfall of Vicksburg, tne openiug ol tue Mississippi, the probable capmre ot lueCou ft derate capital, and tue exhausilou of tue Re bellion, liy common consent, all prle$ nad fixed upou the day wnen me resuit of tue oiu putgn sDould be known, to inr& out tnat llu-' of policy wbicti they felt that our country should pursue. But in the nigiunut of the ex pecttd victory, there came the midulgnt cry for help irom Peonsylvaula to save Us despoiled fields lrom the invading foo; aud almost wlimu slxbt rf Ibis great commercial nieirop tits, I lie ships of your meicnants were burned lo the watei's edge." This was uttered on the 4th of July the very day of "the downfall of Vicksburg" the day whereon Lee relinquished to the Army ol the l'etomao tbe hard-lought field of Gettys burg, and commenced hia final retreat from the soil of the loyal States. Governor Sey mour had, of course, written it some da s before, liut would he not have leen wise enough to suppress it, had he read the Tribune of that morning, wherein hia attention must have been arrested by these special de spatches: Special Dispatch to The N. Y. Ti ibune. "Hakovkk, Friday, July 3, 1(J3 The mis', teriilio rjgnt of tbe war nas taaeu pUi34. Oai meu never stood up so heroically, l'j-diy wis t: e most awful oi all.

We must devote one more article to the loyalty of lloratio Sejmour. He will hardly impeach our chief witness to wit, himself. We quote no hasty, casual utterances, but hia own carefully prepared, deliberately weighed language. In view thereof we ask a publio judgment on this question "Can he who thus sweepiogly as-sailed aud denounced the heal ot our Government when be evidently sun posed the Union just tottering to its fall, have been loyal to hia tearfully imperilled country?'
