Gov. SEwARD's SPEECH at Albany, Of which we
published portion on Saturday, is printed entire
in our paper this morning 1t is clear, frank
forcble presertment of the fundamental issue in
volyed in the election now pending, and is calcu-
lated to open some eyes as to the Importance and
imminence Of that issue. 1t will at all events be
widely read and needed yet we trust those of our
citizens who receive this paper will invite their
friends and neghbors who do not, to consider its
ucid and temperate counsels. There are those
who rail at Gov Seward as demagogue who take
care never to read his statements, and so are
always ready as well as eager to misrepresent his
positions If they could be induced to Judge him
by what be proposes instead Of what bis enemies
attribute to him, their preudices must speedily be
softened and ultimately overcome. Let them be
persuaded, if possible, to read this Speech, and
then asked to say whether he is or is not truly
accused of seeking to abolish Slavery in the States
which cherish it, or to sever the links of our
Union. "Strike, bu! hear"
