announcing the election of Ex-Governor Fish as
United States Senator, startled the community. Ey-
cry had supposed that this important question had
been disposed 81, as far as the Legislature was con-
cerned, and that 1t would directly before the
people at the next election 1t seems however, that
the influence of Seward and his party in New York,
have broken down all opposition. carried everything
before them, and elected their candidate as United
States Senator. Some persons say that the election
is illegal and uncons titutona and that Governor Fish
will be rejected as he seeks admission in the
United States Senate during the next session. The
moral effect however, of the election OF that gentle
man. which is in favor of the increasing influence of
Seward and his party in this great State is not afec-
ted by any constitutional scrupes The result is be-
fore the world, that William n. Seward is the great
magician that manages New York, and carries all its
political influence in his bag or breeches pocket The

politicians who believe only in higher law, which

ti-savery element, practically acting in opposition
the Fugitive Slave law, passed during the last ses-
sion of Congress- is one of the most important ee-
ments in the triumph of William H. Seward in this
State. Some weeks ago it reported that the
President and the cabinet at Washington, had thrown
the whole of their influence in the scale in opposition

doubtful position on the recent mpromise measures
and his opposition to the Fugitive Slave law especi

belief that the President has given his influence in
favor of Mr.. Fish, Notwithstanding the inference
which may be drawn from Mr.. FiSh's election, and
the counenance which it will give the spread oil

Thus we go. The anti-slavery sentiment of the
Northern States is slowly but surely making advan-
ces in every direction. Ohio has recently elected a
free soil Senator; New York has followed suit and
it is very likely, that one of the same character
will be elected in Massachusetts, in spite of all the
difficulties in the way of accomplishing such result
William II. Seward and the antI-slavery influence,
which is not yet of the ultra Garrison kind but which
is gradually and surely running in that direction,
growing and growing all around US, every where,
beneath Jus and about US, in the Northern States.
The wing party, once national and constitutional
orgalzatIon of the intelligence, the wealth. and
liability OF the free States, is gradually assuming the
position of abolition faction, composed of
rious colors and Stripes from the pure black of Doug
las, to the mixed complexion of William H. Seward
and his political associates. The consequence of such
policy will be to increase the excitement at the
South, and tend still further ALLEVIATE that section
of the country from the North. Union committees,
with their liberal collections and silly movements,
cannot stay the tide of fanaticism. Castle Garden
assemblages may rant and roar for few hours, and
eloquent lawyers may have their speeches circulated
to the four winds of heaven, but the anti-sayery ell

sectional party to back them will 60 ahead, in oppo-
ston to all constitutional distractions and legal
