The Seward Party.

miserable wreck that survived the defeat of
Scott and Hale By agitation, excitement, To-
cal iealousies, false issues and false alarms,
they hope 10 mislead portion of the demOcra-
cy Of the north, and thus secure the election of
William H. Seward, President, and once more
Hlut their hungry hordes upon the national
spoils. For this common and selfish object
for this mere political object-both pulpit and
press aro running a race of mock philanthropy,
and vieing with each other in fulminations
against members of congress, the national ad-
minis,ration, and sister states of our glorious
Union. The same men who prayed, and
preached, and wrote, against the war Of 1879;
who threatened disuuion because Of the Mis-
souri, compromise Of 1920; who opposed The
annexation of Texas, and offered our brave
soldiers in Mexico friendly welcome 10
bloody hands and hospitable graves the same
men who cried themselves hoarse for a repeal
of the compromise measures of 1850; who
have been anti-masons and abolitionists, by
turas, and federaists, always; these men have
elected themselves sole conservators Of Il free
dom,' and exclusive defenders Of the nation
al faith Let no democrats be deceived
Their object is party organization; their incen-
tive, the spols.'
Hear Horace Greedy, the great political
fanatic, who always blends the cunning of the
Yankee with The loving kindness Of the Social
ist -
la view of the great issues before US, we
throw all party considerations 10 the wind.
Our appeal is to the people of the north,
without distinction Of party. In the great
struggle now commencing, to resist the surren-
der of the Union and government to the slave
holders, We wish TO know no party names or
divisions. We simply desire 10 see enlisted
under one banner all who are opposed to the in
vasiou Of the free territory Of the north by the
shareholders Of the south Of all who wish 10
see liberty and not slavery the great interest in
the state. We only ask who is ready to league
together TO deIhrone the new monarch
Then listen to the Albany Evening Journal,
the aulocrat of the Seward whg empire, now
as specious and glozing as any turtle dove -
Indeed, as between wing upon whose
course on this subject hereafter the shade Of
shadow of doubt should rest, and democrat
who voted against repeating the Missouri com
promise, we should not hesitate a moment
(which Of the two to choose for any office.
Hence, while we believe that the future elect
ion of northern wings TO congress will be the
election of men who will vote 10 repeal every
repealable statute enacted to confer special
privileges upon slavery, we shall nevertheless
rejoice in the election of any man of any party
who has been true and who shall continue true
TO freedom. 1t is under the banner which
will lead to such result that we would have
the electors of the free states fight"
These great party leaders are bound together
IN a common cause; they have girded on their
armor anew, and are sounding the tocsin for
crusade of the north against the south. Kin
dred in spirit and closely united with them are
Wendell Philips and the Rev. Theodore Par
&er, of Boston /; men, who recently prostituted
old Faneuil Hall TO inciie their fellow citizens
to treason and murder; and Henry w. Taylor,
of Canandaigua, N. Y, blue light federalist
of Connecticut, known in western New York,
on account of his fiery zeal, as the 'Anti-Ma-
sonic Lightning Rod and rejoicing in the
new alliance, is the editor of the Milwaukee
Sentinel IA devoted pupil and partisan of
Seward), with the only tue leader of the ST.
mon Pure friends of freedom in Wisconsin,
S. M. Booth, now in temporary eclipse, but
who still, from his fiery hair shakes pestilence
and war, alike upon all democrats and drinkers
of lager beer.
They call TO their banner all men of all
parties, sects and races, for the nominal pur-
pose of resisting the aggressions Of the south
and wiping out the stain Of our violated nation
al faith. Aggressions, in what! Why, in
repeating the legislation which authorized the
existence of slaUery in all the states and terrific
ries south Of the line of thrty-six thirty,
and aAO,0ing the people of the states and terrific
yics, ereryDhere, to cote for themselves t0hethcr
they loiH tolerate slaUry or Uhether they ,UiH
reject it, Violated faith in whatt Why, in
disseminating voluntary compromise, which
ihe WiImot proviso violated, and was in
tended forever 10 abrogate by the very men
who are now denouncing the judgment of
Almighty God upon the friends of the Nebraska
bill. If Douglas is a Benedict Arnold now,
where was WImot in 184sl for the one pro-
posed to abrogate the Missouri compromise,
as much as the other; and where are the
friends Of WilmOt, but among the wicked viola
%ers Of that sacred compact, deserving ont of
their own mouths, the judgments of Almighty
God
Thus do these political schemers walk over
their own sins to denounce others, and to raise
whirwind Of local excitement and prejudice,
or which they vainly hope TO ride into power.
But we have too much confidence in the intelll-
gence and sound patriotism Of the people 10 feaI
any evil from these Mtaluting efforts Of would
be philanthropists, who are nothing, after ALL
but old-stager politicians fed up and frantic
with new prospects Of party triumph
For short time they may succeed in rally.
