Well Said,
The New York Herald of the 31st ult so

The New York Herald Of the 31st ult says:
Mr.. Seward declares that slavery is aggres.
sive-that it has planted itself on the coast OF
Mexico, is extending TO the CanadaS Of the
North: and threatens 10 secure dominion over
this continent, and to drive out freedom ftom
the republic. Mr.. Sc ward knew when he said
this that OF the twelve States IN which slavery
existed on the adoption Of the constitution but
FIVE remain, excluding Delaware. Then there
were twelve to one; now we have sixteen free

of Congress-a dominion which is likely TO be
more complete and absolute when Minnesota,

such Iii worthy and groundless arguments? Is
not time for the North 10 be be just in lis treat

Majority Of Chase
Hon. David 7. Disney.

We have heard in several quarters the name
of this gentleman mentioned, in connection
with the Vice Presidency, and think that
would be a nomination eminently fit 10 be
made. Mr.. Disney's natural and acquired
talents, qualify him in a high degree, TO dis
charge the duties of that proud position, and
no man from any section OF the country can
bring before the Democratic National Conven-
ton, a fairer political record than David r.
Disney, ofOhio. His principles are National,
and with the broad banner Of State Rights and
Individual Sovereignty floating in the breeze,
and this noble son Of Ohio, one OF its stand
ard bearers, the union loving freeman of this
union would rally in enthusiastic MOSES TO its
support, and place the chosen leaders in the
