SENATOR SEwARD's Position AND PoLIcY.-The
position and policy Of Senator Seward in New York.
in national affairs, seem to be rehash Of the same
ideas that governed the conduct Of Mr.. Van Buren,
in his early political career in this State. During
the lifetime Of the late De Witt Clinton, Mr.. Van
Buren, had continuous struggle against the position
and Tredominance Of that statesman in New York
politics. After his DEATH Mr.. Van Barren fell heir
to the whole influence of the democratic party and
managed it his capital in trade with the Southern
statesmen; but he only conciliated and got their
support, to betray them. lie attached himself to
the military popularity Of Gen. Jackson, for the
purpose Of getting the confidence of the South and
their support for the succe ssion. He accomplished
that but when the Southern States severed the
connection, he Immediately turned traitor to his
professions, aud stabbed them under the fth rib by
raising and increasing the anti slavery agitation of
the last few years
Dir. Seward, in some respects, seems to be making
use of the name and position of Gen Scott as Mr.
Van Buren, did that Of Gen. Jackson. Mr.. Fillmore
and Mr.. Webster more especially, great rivals
in the whg party Of the nation, to Mr.. Stewards
aspirations, as De Witt Clinton was in the North to
Mr.. Van Buren,, in his day. The discussion now
commenced throughout the country by the whs
journals, the subject Of the Presidential candi-
date, is Of the important on this point that
ever broke out in that party. If Mr.. Seward and
Cen Scott succeed in carrying their points in the
Philadelphia Convention, against Fillmore, Web
ster, and the South it will change the whole direc-
ton ard future history Of the movements of that
party The wings are, therefore, in the commence
ment Of All important crisis, and in short time we
is determined, at all hazards, to carry the nomina-
ton Of Gen. Scott, because he is involved in the
succession and in the success Of that chicfain
The South will be used and sacrificed for that pur-
pose if they without the courage 10 resent it. or
to take their own course in support OF their own
interests. The organs Of Seward already threaten
to open the snti-slavery agitation if they do not
submit to his policy, and short time will exhibit
the bitterness Of the intestine among them.

Barnum, in card, denies nil these statements:
he denies that he is brother-in-law Of Gcnin; he

New York; he has not denied that he has oased that

baby does not receive the rent directly; but we r
ther think he receives it c;rcuitously. Now, in
all this there is no harm; it is merely the usual
humbug Of the day. That's all. Barnum is an
ingenious manager, and should not wonder a
bit If this letter to the Ha7fnd Times were from
