THE SUN.
LONDON, FRIDAY, OCT. 26, 1860,

It is not only in Italy and Hungary that the
battle of human liberty is being fought. In the great
Republic across the Atlantic it is now raging almost
as fiercely as in the old world. In the States
where their constitution asserts the equality and
freedom of every man, and his inalienable right to
life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, there is
a tyranny and a slavery to which the rule of the
Austrian Hapsburgs and the Italian Bourbons,
and the political slavery of Neapolitans, Romans,
and Hungarians appear mild by comparison. And
to Englishmen with their motto of civil and reli-
gious liberty all over the world, the wretchedness
of coloured Americans, and the appalling absolutism
of white Americans, will never cease to be an object
of the, deepest interest. To put a peaceful end to
the tyranny and the slavery alike is the object of
the present party struggle in the United States ;
and every consideration which can influence us here
—political, moral, and commercial alike *must
stimulate our interest in the success of ABRAHAM
LINCOLN.

Like most American Presidents, he is not indeed
the greatest man of his own party. Indeed a greater
than he is canvassing for him. His
name was
quite unknown but a few months ago to the British
public; but that of Mr. SEWARD, as Governor of
New York, and as a distinguished Senator of his
own State, has long been well known. He would
have been candidate for the , Presidency
on this
occasion, but the necessities of party required that
he should put his fair claim in abeyance for the
present for the sake of the great cause, and he has
not only done so, but is most nobly devoting his
entire energies, and his eloquence, which is consi-
derable, to publicly canvassing for the candidate
selected in his place. He is visiting as many places
as he can, and very effectively discussing the claims
of his party. His speeches are anything but mob-
oratory ; we have noticed them before, and they
certainly show that our cousins, although they
may listen with party zest to plenty of " blarney,"
yet know as well as we do how to appreciate able
statements and reasonings,
A speech of Mr. SEWARD'S, delivered in the State
of lowa, is xiow before us, in which he states and
