the ballotbox but If that fails the direct inference
that il will be accomplished by the overthrow Of the con-
stution and the Shareholders viii perish in the struggle
There only six eight millions Of these doomed
reprobates whose fate Mr. Seward eonempates with pc
culiar satisfaction prelude the accomplishment Of
the object he confidently anticipates Yet oil this ut
tered with much GOODNESS philosopher discussing
metaphysical abstraction, and the ultimate fate Of
millions of his eowcitzens confidently predicted with
out even aeetation Of the slightest sympathy II
only another of ST. Bartholomew ON greater
SCALE and doubtless prophet of the higher law should
he have the happiness to live to sec this great
of his mission WILL like certain pous devotee who ran
about the streets of Paris crying KILL ki kin be found
at the head Of his disciples Of all colors urging them
till all the Shareholders have persisted"
Nothing is wanting to this humane and desirable end
quoth the prophet but few Indispensable preminaries
We want he says, bold, outspoken, fresspoken or
ganzatonone that openly procaims its principles its
purposes and its objects in fear of God and not of
like the army which Cromwell led that established the
commonwealth of England This is the organization
WANT
This army which Mr. Seward deems indispensable to the
of his mission it will be recoleced by every reader
familiar with the history of those times the great
land by quelIing the republicans, Jewellers they
called, Wrestling the government from that Parlia-
by which had been established and converting i.
into military despotism welded first by council of Of
cers and finally by protector despotc than any Of
his royal predecessors except William the Conqueror and
Henry the Eighth 1t was this army that expelled the
members of Parliament their seats wrested the gov
the hands the of the people
finally under the lead of Monk, so-caed Charles the Sec
ond without single stipulation condition for restrain
ing that power which his predecessors had grossly
abused.
Yet this is the instrument which Mr. Seward "wans' 10
bring about his millennium If the constitution be
overthrown through the medium of the ballotbox, af
ter the manner Of Cincinnati and Louisville must
sort to the sword we must have army like thai 81
Cromwell army Of iron sides and iron heartsan army
of ruthless fanatics and enthusiasts which, arrogang
itself the sanction of God will spnrn at all the obligations
due from to man, and, while pretending TO be the
champion of human rights recognise rights but its
unbounded winlness This is what Mr. Seward wants
He wants army that will drive the members Of Con
grcss from their seats if Cromwell sad "they do
seek the Lord after his fshionan army that
the garrison of Drogheda because they to massn
short 2ry such overthrow the civil in Eng
land usurped its attributes and after punQng the
into anarchy became the great instrument for restoring
y desposm.
| Such is the plain, palpabe Interpretation of Mr. Sew
ards "wantp II he does not this he is talking al
random and nothing. 1t is to such doctrines pro-
mulgaed by tnerant missionaries from all quarters the
good people of the Empire State are now called together
at conventions to Listen For part rejoice to it
and heartily wish there Of these precious apos
ties of sedon and 1t be but that such
perncious doctrines openly avowed and such overt acts
have resulted from tteir practical application and
will disgust well alarm, all SOBER rational who
love their country, cherish the Union and abide by the
constitution There many of these the North

swim at the bottom, and not the surface ho
heard the brawng struggles of interest

but everything at the end Of popular excitements These
in fact hold the balance of power in the last resort and
they will-nay, they already Hockng the
They taking the hem and confidently predict that
though they may be pushed aside just now before the
presidential election the Empire State will be redeemed
from the bondage of the veed prophet" who has only
show his face in order expose his deformiy Nothing
is wanting but plenty of missionaries like Messs Sumner
Wade Dow, and Ford and few speeches like that
Mr. Seward at Albany If these do awaken the people
they must in future be classed with the Seven Scepers
Ephesus.
