Hon. VIM. III. Seward Where is Hes
We have seen nothing Of this arch-agitator,
he neither speaks nor writes letters. Wilson
has stumped thirteen States, and been decided
" stumped in his own. Wade has divided the
Union as the Judgment of Solomon would have
divided the disputed child. Chase has pro-
claimed almost in operate language, Up with
the banner and down with the shareholders.
Greeley has been to Europe to renew the plight
ed allegiance of abolition to the monarchies
which take such interest in the dissolution OF
the Uniop, perhaps to arrange their remit
tances for the next campaign. The Times has
arranged nice little conspiracy, in which
armed thousands are ready to march from the
free States to resist the slavery propagandists
in Kansas. But Seward, Where is he? "Can
any one tell9" Certainly, responds the Albany
journal. He will speak at a Republican rati-
fication meeting in Albany, "in explanation,
| and we suppose, in advocacy, Of the princi-
pies of Republication" Whereupon the Com
mercial Advertiser remarks:
| "Senator Seward has left the Wing party and
gone to Republicanism. He approves the fusion
ticket composed as 1t is Of six parts violent Dem
ocrats and three parts pseudo Wings, with the
strongest acknowledgements Democrats that
could be found for members Of the canal board.
Hon. w. H.Seward has left the Wing party. Yet
he at least once declared that he would be the last
man to leave it.
| We can predict the speech which Mr.. Seward
will make to those Republicans, though we
must, of course, condense it. He will give the
history of Republicanism; perhaps he will
also give its geography. Mr.. Benton would
have begun by defining the etymology of the
word, explaining hourly to the illterate hearers
that "res' meant thing" and "puHica''
"publc." Mr.. Seward will go back to the
Theocracy, and show that it was nothing more
than Federal Union, with an immortal Execu-
tive. He will stray along down through the
leagues of Greece, and the dominion of Rome.
He will touch at the intermediate points and
landings Of England, Poland, France, and Mex
leo. He will then demonstrate that the Repub-
lican party, being based upon the "all-men-
| born-equaln principle, must acknowledge the
political equality of whites, Dutch, and negroes,
of Chinese, South Sea Islanders, Mormons, and
oil others who shall have arrived upon the soil
of freedom. He will say that this combina-
ton should at once redeem the American
Union from the great reproach of slavery, and
that this cancer must be extirpatcd without
regard to the will Of the patient.
Then Mr.. Seward will make studied apos-
trophe to the heroes and sages quoting from
the will Of Washington, and throwing around
the putative father of the ordinance Of 1857,
and the acquisition Of Louisiana, the bright
halo of classical imagination. Having justi-
fled himself by summoning this patriotic body
guard, he will next refer to the union Of the
States, perhaps he may spare us its history,
but he certainly will display its statistics Of
area and population.
He will express his alteration Of the Union,
He will appeal to the present generation, and
TO posterity. He will protest with tears that
he could never touch, with paricidal hand, the
glorious legacy Of Union and fraternity, He will
denounce sectional parties, and perhaps take this
occasion TO rcpudiate the declarations of Chase,
OF Wilson, and of Greeley, Then he will ex-
plain that his sole object is the limitation Of
this aggressive evil He will tell his audience
hoy the contamination of bondage Is so great,
that though he has all his life been more OF
less In receipt of money derived from slave la.
Dor, and represents constituency largely in
the sugar trade and cotton line" though he
has all his time lived either in or within o
stones throw Of slave States, yet the possible
introduction OF that nefarious institution into
region nearly two thousand miles off, sepa-
rated by rivers, lakes, and mountains, makes
him shiver with an ague Of repugnance, and
| turns the very syrup Of an amiable nature to
an acid gall Then Mr.. Seward will explain
how this gangrcne Of slavery can be cut out
and cast out Of the body polite, and especially
how it may be done without impairing the
health or diminishing the duration Of the pa
tent; all OF these things win Mr.. Seward de
monstrate. He win then put away the crown
Of the Presidency Ike Cesar Cromwell, the
Napoleons, Iturbide, and ali ether judicious
persons who prefer creeping a little eieser r.
their game before they discharge their fowline
piece. lie will conclude with pathetic prayer
for the political salvation Of all who are incred
ulous either Of his patriotism or his principles
As il is very seldom political prophet ven.
lures to report the speech Of political leader
before IL is delivered, we shall look with much
interest for that which Mr.. Seward is to deliv.
er at Albany to the Black Republicans.
