The mountain sentinel. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1844-1853, 1851-01-23
From the n. Y. Globe
DIR. SeWard'S Cue--i Union Party.

No one at all acquainted with the man
for moment believes that the appearance
of having given up the game of agitation
is the genuine purpose of Mr.. Seward
The oil which floats upon the surface of
the wafer must soon be dissIpated as the
presidential election comes nearer and
nearer. The aims of the Senator from
New York are deeper than those who
give him credit for nothing but political
cunning suppose. Mr.. Seward hes some
thing more than cunning. Without ab!i-
ties OF the first order, he possesses the
ambiIon and the patience To accomplish
all that these qualities can of themselves
command. We would say he had forti
lude; but the word scarcely conveys our
meaning. Ii is rather an endurance OF
injury-not 4 forgivlng endurance, but
deep resolution TO submit 10 every thIug, il
by means OF it his purposes can be ac-
com plished. Those who see The senator
from New York, with his apparent hu-
mility and seeming knowledge of his own
insgnifcance, little know the boiling
whirlpool which lies in his breast. Ii is
no fear of consequences TO his country,
but to himself, which keeps MIN quiet; for
let but the occasion arise, and with an
energy and a disregard OF consequences
absolutely incredible. he would again at
tempt 10 reignte the fires OF dIsco.d-
= Lest I more active coI!euge first sIoIli grope
His way 10 doors OF promise or OF hope
The truth is, no man Of the same sem
t:mcnts stands IN Mr.. Stewards way
From Lloyd Garrison 10 Horace Greeley,
his path Is unobs;ruc!cd. White and black
stand aside "a, !hc sound OF his chariot
wheels But now long can th> continue :
Two causes may produce Il change, and
they are very different. The first Is, tiat
some aspiring man may endeavor 10 com
pcie with tie senator from New \ orr,
when the seeming quiet would give place
to storms and ,empesls, aud the struggle
would be as TO who would reach the eS-
lreme Of ianalicsm first. This would be
lis own anIiLOtt, as there exists line be-
yond which even the bilndest Of the agi-
tators would scarcely dare follow. The
other is. the formation OF Union party.
Should this take place, The old parties
must dissolve. and III their place would
arise three-a Union party, which, doubt
less in the end, would be successfui; a
southern extreme party, led by South
Carolina; and an abolition party, compo-
sed Of free-soi! democrats and wings, with
the negroes and abolitionisls of the North.
Of This iasI combination, Mr.. Seward, Us
matters now Stand, would be the head and
front. And ii Is 10 this result, we doubt
moi, he is anxiously looking. Ii is 10 oh
tain this result that all his energy is di-
rcoted. Ii is to this end that the Tribune
SO grossly attacked the Union men of the
Syracuse ConvebtioH; and il is with The
same end in v.ew that the Tribune keeps
alive the coal OF agitation IN reference 10
the fugitive slave bill. The Seward
wings went TOO far III the late canvass
They did not imagine The "bollers" could
be scourged into the traces so easily
Their fear now is lest the Union men
should amdlgamate with them, in spite OF
MessTs. Young and Duer. This they do
not desire: and hence the seeming quiet is
relieved by slight ruflle from day to day,
50 that, when the proper time arrives. the
chances may be increa sed of forcing The
minority of The why party into Union
movement Tor the advancement of Mr..
Seward. The duty of the democracy is
10 US pain. Stand by your colors. The
! hope of our principles and policy IS GER
tain If you are true 10 yourselves. "hen
you are forced into dissolution, your
refuge may then be into the arms OF d
Union coalition but until then, stand by
your colors
One of the sublimestthings in the world
