SEWARD ON THE STUMP.

Senator Seward has taken the stump in favo,
of the Black Republicans. He addressed mass
meeting at Albany lately, for more than two
hours, and was greeted with repeated applause
He alluded first to the foundation principle Of our 20
vernment - the equality of all men and then to tn,
existence Of privileged class that threatened to degrade
our republic to an aristocracy The privileged elasa h

Of course no man, pretending to the smallest
modicum of intelligence, ever imagined for a
moment that William II. Separd would NOT
take the stump, or mount any rostrum, or do
anything in his power to arrest the onward
march Of Americanism the only organization
he fears, and which he hates while he fears. on
the Western continent He must break that
organization down, or else he knows that the
darling object Of his ambition, about which he
has had day dreams and night dreams for the
past fifth Of a century-the grand and glorious
prize of the Presidency will pass from his hands
forever Hence the mighty efforts himself and
organs have put forth to stay the surging tide
of American patriotism. In some instances
they have succeeded, but it was by treason, or
by piling extraneous questions and side issues
upon the leading principle until its warmest ad-
mirer could hardly discover it, thereby prevent
ing it from having anything like fair show.
No wonder, then, Senator Seward denounces
the American party as proscriptipe. There is
not the slightest question it is proscriptiye,"
for it proscribes, ignores, repudiates and opposes
Mr.. Seward and his doctrines, the Abolitionists
and their fanaticism, gives the cold shoulder to
sectionalism, stands by the constitution and the
rights Of the States, and is determined upon the
maintenance of the Union according to the views
and under the guarantees of its illustrious
founders
Thereare strange conjunctions in the political
world. In New York, Senator Seward-without
whom there would be no Abolition party in the
North-denounces the American party in terms
of unmeasured severity!
In the Empire State Of the South-Georeia-
Alexander Fl. Stephens, by far the ablest and
most influential man in that State, assailed the
Americans with bitterness unequalled in the
annals of partisan warfare! But for him, we
would have carried the State triumphantly, as
we ,oiH, despite his power, at the next Presi-
Dental election!
But, achat conjunction of the s. S.'s-Sew-
ard, Of New York, trying to beat down the
Americans, and Stephens, of Georgia, doing his
