Mr. Seward has delivered a speech at Auburn,
in which he defended the course of the President
respecting the recent vetoes. His plan of recoil;
strtuSion,was the only practical one let suggested.-
Congress indiscriminately grouped loyal and dis-
loyal by excluding loyal Southern representatives.
The differences between the executive and congress,
were, he said, less serious than was supposed, and
need not cause the disruption of the republican
party. The general tone of Mr. Seward 's speech•
was mediatorial.
The President and the members of the cabinet
were serenaded last night by the National Union

were right. Mr. Stanton delivered a long speech, in
which he said the President was cordially supported I
by the cabinet. The plan of reconstruction pro-

embrace any plan of reconstruction better than his
own whenever presented.
