William III. Seward.

This gentleman is the able, the intelligent, the
consistent, the firm, the candid, and the indie
pendent advocate of certain unpopular, and, as we
believe, untenable principles AS Whig we
can think with him, while on other subjects we
differ. Yet in thus differing we will not do him
injustice. The history Of his life is without stair
or blemish. In every relation Of social life ht
adorns his position; and they who have knowr
him from his boyhood up, whether his politica
friends or adversaries, concur in bearing testi
mony to his virtuous career. He is often de
nounced as the vilest of thevile, and it is said t.
be a perilous thing to utter word in his de
fence. Let that peril be ours, Nth all its consc
guences. The political William II. Seward may
be denounced and condemned, if you will; bu
William H. Seward, the scholar, the gentleman
the jurist and the statesman, will live in honorec
memory when the memory of thousands of tn,
popular politicians of the present day shall exis
no more.
OF the daily and hourly denunciatons of Mr.
Seward we are sick and weary He is of "Free.
soil" sentiment, it is true, and thinks as we do
not and cannot think upon that and other sub
iects But is it not SO with Mr. Rantoul with
Mr. Sumner, with Mr.. Hale with Mr.. King, and
a score of others in both parties Yet who de-
nounces them? Who proclaims at every utter
ance of their names the anathemas of whole
nation? Who invokes the rufian and the hang
man to their execution? If the Almighty has
endowed Mr. Seward with a mind of superior
power; if he has nobly cherished the talent thus
bestowed; if his moral reputation is brighter and
purer than men usually possess; if by his ex-
alted character as citizen, husband, and q
father, he has so won the love and confidence OF
his fellow-men that his influence is wide and
firmly planted, must we therefore scorn and re-
pudiate him? The prejudiced and timid may,
but we will not. We stand upon neutral ground
in this national metropolis, where Calhoun, {
Rhett and Venable have proclaimed Southern
disunion opinions, with threats and menaces; and
while it has been our pleasure to acknowledge and
respect the social virtues and amenities evincedb by
these gentlemen, we mustregard the spirit as era
ven and cowardly that would offer insult and con-
tumely to the representative of the other extreme,
who, while he wars with them in open, avowed,
and honorable warfare, waves the olive-branch
before our eyes with reference to all other themes
whose greatest sin cannot be greater than theirs,
and the mdness and gentleness of whose nature
can alone induce less tolerant and liberal tone
in the language of his opponents.
In Mr.. Stewards heterodox sentiments, we re-
peat we have no sympathy; in his reputation, as
an ornament to society, we find cause of pride
and the highest qualification.

Whtg of Louisiana.

Under this caption, the Union of Sunday las
rejoices over the withdrawal of Col. w. S. Par.
ham from the Wing party, and speaks of Col.
P as gentleman of great influence, sc.
We are sorry to disturb the rejoicing of the
Union, but duty requires us to say that it is a
habit with Col. Parham to bolt Wing nomina-
tons. This consistent gentleman was member
of the legislature in 1S48, and gave his vote for
Hon. Pierre soule, (Dem.) for seat in the Sem
ate of the United States, against the Hon. D. F.
Kenner, the Whig nominee for that station. With
three thousand majority in Louisiana, the Wings
can afford to part company with the distinguished
"bolter'' whose name is here given.

Cookman's curtain store, Carryl & Co.'s curtain
store; Bassfords billiard saloons and the Waverley
Bowling Saloon occupied the basement The
fire was principally confined to the upper stories,
though the lower floors were greatly damaged by
water. Hanson & Mitchelps picture frame
mandatory was also burnt The fire was con-
fined by the fremen to the building in which it
commenced. The loss is heavy, being but partly
covered by insurance. O. c. B. Carter had q
large and costly stock of musical instruments all
nearly ruined, among which were twenty-four

Beautiful Daguerreotypc.

The most perfect and admirable daguerreotype
likeness we have ever seen has just been made Of
General WINFIELD ScoTT, by Mr.. Bennett, of this
city. 1t is Of very large size, and as clear and
distinct as the reflection from polished mirror.
We learn that the old General sat for this like
ness with cheerfulness and patience, though
under protest, declaring that SO frequently has
be of late been called upon to sit to artists of va
rious kinds that he must henceforth refuse II
others have succeeded as well as Mr.. Bennett,
we do not, indeed, think further efforts are
needed
