The radical journals are loud in their denunciations of Gov. Sbtmour for his failure to come up to their standard in dealing with the New York mob. They charge" the Governor's politioal friends with ineiting it, and the Governor, hirnself, with pandering to it, instead of denouncing and suppressing. That our readers may know exastly the poaition of Gov. Seymoub, wo print in this sheot (jia speech to the rioters in the City Hal! Park, hia proclamaticn announcing that the entiro force of the State would be used to put down the mob, and oomrnanding the mob to disperso, and his addresa to the New York public. It will be seen by reading tho speech of Gov. S. that he has been willfully misrepresented by the radicáis. He used no language of justification, be denounced the riotera and their aote, ie aaid the laws must be obeyed, and that the reraedy against tbo conscrip;ion act must bo found in the courts. - He did say that he had, the Saturday jefore, not tince ihi Irtaking out of the mob, sent his Adjutant to Washington to request a postponement of tho draft, not because he feared a mob, but to give time for a sottlement of the question whether New York waa being callod upon for morethan her quota. In speech, proclamation, or addross here is not a word of npology for the lotera, not a word looking towards yifilding to their demande. They are adviscd to obey the laws, and told that they muit obey them. He is denounced simply because he accompanied hia command8 with adilice, because he endeavored to reason with tho mob wVill arranging for tho use of whatever force was necessary to restoreipoace by compelling t to disperso. And that is all there is oí it, all of his tamparing, beggin'g, excusing, cringing, or whatever else the radicáis 6ee fit to term it. We apprehend that after cool reflection a candid public will exonérate Gov. Seymour from all the charges heaped upon hira by the radicáis, whether they are of inciting the mob, eyrapathizing with it, or hesitating iu the adoption of measures to put it down. i m in JC2L" Letters irom Messrs. Greqorv, Botsford, and Goodale, report hem accomplishing tho work of their mis8Íon: They say that our wounded n the hospitals at Getlysburg and 3altimoro are tdeíí cared for, but those yet in camp hospitals are not so well )rovided. Tliey were gladly greeted )y the Boys, wounded and well. - 3ot8ford writes irom Qottysburg, July ,8th, and says that he shall stay in that vicinity as long as he can be ot any service, and then shall go " to the 'ront " if permitted. ui mm m - - 3g" Thirty-thrce members of the üincinnati Chamber of Commerce have been expelled for refusing to take the oath of allegianec.
