We Give the following specimens fror two
lovers of the Union, one from the North, the
other from the South. The first is an extract
from a letter written to j. WATSON WEBB, by
Senator SEWARD, to define his positions OIL the
eve of his election to the Senate Of the United
States 1t is dated February l, l849 Tht
other is from recent letter of Hon. GARNET
ANDREWS of Georgia, in defence Of submission
to the recent acts of Congress, and is warmly
commended by the tribe of submission papers,
with the National Intelligencer at their head.

So when Judge Andrews comes out of his
lair, to attack the patriots of Georgia and other
States, who don't admire the Northern protector
