THE UNION AND WIN. H. SEWARD.

THE UNlON AND VIM. n. cEWAhD.
In yesterdays Dispatch some reference
was made to the closing remarks Of late
apeech Of Senator Seward, eulogising the
Union. Praise of the Union from Seward is
more detestable than the open treason o.
Greeley, who eAlculaets its value In dollars
and cents. and undertakes to establish the alb
surd proposition that the North would be
commercially the gamer by dissolution
But, ridiculous as this notion is. and traitor
GUS a is every breath the N. York Tribune
draws. II Is less dangerous than such enemies
of the Constitution as Seward, because Its
spite Is too strong for its cunning, and it is
therefore unable to conceal the real, unmixed
mslevolence OF its nature. Seward, howev-
er, adds discrimination to treason, and, while
he exclaims, art thou in health, my bro
Their Z" seeks to give his enemy mortal
stab.
We can conceive of no grander exploit OF
human hypocrisy than praise of the Union by
VIM. H. Seward. He is the man, above all
others, who has famed the flames of aboli-
ton for purely personal purposes, and the
whole aim of whose life has been the forma-
tioA of a sectional party which might carry
him into the Presidency, no matter at what
cost to the integrity of the Republic. He
has ssgscity enough to foresee that the elec-
tion of q President on such an issue as it has
been the continual object of his life to raise,
would inevitably lead to the dissolution OF
the Union, and yet he has pursued that OBJ
ject without hesitation and without remorse.
No matter, though the only citadel Of civil
and religious liberty on the face Of the earth
should be overthrown, and with it, the last
hopes of oppressed mankind throughout the
world; no matter though civil and servile war
should rage throughout the land, and desc
Late every hearth stone with horrors indeserl'
bable-so that VIM H. Semord should OBJ
tain the Presidency Aaron Burr was not
as thorough, ingrained and heartless a trail
tor as VIM H. Seward. Benedict Arnold
was not more selfish and false. Every word
Seward speaks in favor of the Union, is SEN
tsnce of condemnation upon himself for he
has done more than any other living man to
bring about that disregard of the laws of the
Union anu tQat alenatlou VI iceuhS aAohS
the people of its various sections, which fill
the minds of all patriots with the most serious
apprehensions for the future,
1t is an easy thing to make a beautiful har-
rangus about the Union, but there is one sec
ton of the country, which confding, almost
to oredulity, as it is, can no longer be deceiv-
ed by fair words. The South will hereafter
trust only to deeds as the standard of patri-
otism. When it becomes matter of perfect
ease to reclaim fugitive slave from the
neighborhood in which Seward lives when it
does not require 1900 armed men to carry out
. law of the Union in the city of Boston, it
will be time enough for such men as Seward
to deliver eloquent eulogies on the American
Union

THE MARKET ORDINANcE.-Yesterday

The MARKET ORDINANCE.-Yesterd
morning the clerk of the first market, Mr. Ellis act
ing under the instructions OF the Council Committee
on that market, complained to the Mayor that VIM
Whitlock and j. E. l.. Masurier, the occupiers of
certain stalls in the new vegetable market, were
violating the ordinance by selling fruits, and
candies, in addition to vegetables, and a summons
was awarded again them, to show cause why they
should not be fined for so doing The defendants
appeared in court and through their counsel Judge
Crump, declared their readiness to proceed with
the examination, which was objected to ON the
part of the Mayor, who wished to examine the law
and the ordinances ON the subject.
The defence set up against this chage ris thst the
new ordinance regulating the markets. does not
declare what SHALL and what shall not be sold on
the stalls by those who rent them and as thew have
paid high premiums for their stands in addition to
the city rent, and have also obtained a State Ii.
cense they have perfect right to sell whatever is
not prohibited by the ordinances of the city and
laws of the State. Without going into any areu.
ment at this time to sustain our position, it seems
perfectly clear to that the defendants have all
the rights they claim under the existing ordi-
nances and the only way left for the Committee
Markets to exclude the sale of foreign fruits and
CONNECTIONS, is to bring in amendment to the pre-.
sent ordinance declaring what shall be sold in the
market housed. This the Council have right to
d. and in our opinion they reach the grievance
complained ofin no other way

AFFECTING SoENE.-Augustus Joan Lit

AFFECTING SoENE.-Augustus Joan Lit.
ensten, young German, was committed to prison
by the Mayor yesterday, for safe keeping, he being
a person of unsound mind. During the session of
the Court Litenstein spoke continually of the mon
archal oppression of the old country in contrast
with the liberty Of this and, as it addressing his
countrymen in behalf of freedom, painted in clio
quent language the beautiful workings of republi.
can government, contrasting it in warm terms with
the iron rule by which Europe was oppressed and
down-trodden. He is doubtless young man OF fine
education and seems to have had his reason de.
throned by the eastern war now being waged be-
tween Russia and the allied powers. short con.
tinement may possibly restore his reason, and be
the cause OF his becoming useful and valuable
member of society.

"SOUTHERN WHIGS."

The Baltimore Patriot, edited by VIM. NJ.
Burwell, Esq, has remarkable article on
" Southern Whigs-Their Destiny And Their
Duty" A history is given of the Southern
Wings, whose course is highly eulogized for
its disinterested patriotism, The opposition
Of the Wing party to the Administration of
General Jackson, says the Patriot, was nei-
ther caused by personal hostility nor political
discomfort, but because they thought his acts
tended to impair the Constitution, and their
admiration for the man made more meritOri-
Gus the condemnation of the officer. After
wards, says the PATRIOT new issues arose,
which did not correspond with the original
principles of the Southern Wing party, but
the Southern Wings still fought the battles of
their Northern allies, trusting only to be re-
warded by the reform Of those original evils
which they had SO long combatted In this,
however. it is alleged they We're disappoint
ed. The Patriot thus concludes:
"The Southern wings have been thus in obseuri
ty, and except that they have perhaps somewhat
checked the tendencies OF the Federal government
and rendered domestic services OF the utmost i'm
portance In the moral and physical development Of
their country they have been of very little use in
their generation. We could point to instances in
the Southern States, where the truest hearts, the
brightest inteects, the most mature requirements
the most practical sagacity have been lost to the
popular counsels because those who possessed
those qualities, bore the odious sppellation of
Federal whig, and as such were under as conclu
sive disqualification for office, a. Puritan at
Rome, or Bishop Hughes at Geneva, They are now

the course proper to be pursued by the Southern
wings to secure the partial or complete success of
those principles to which alone they owe ale.

He then removed him TO the road side, where the
