THE NEXT MOVEMENT OF sEwARDIsM


Speculation is already busy in conecturng the proba-
BILE change if any in the republican programme which
Mr. Seward may deem polite in view of his late defeats in
New York and Massachusetts, We know of no higher
authority question like this than the New York Eve
ming Post and the New York Tribune. The former com
mens the late results bearing upon the future
of abolitionsm, rs follows
One of our morning newspapers, the Journal Of Com
cxus that at least desirable object has
ectedthe defeat of that dangerous facton the repubi
can party. II not worth while to shut eyes the
truth of the matter Considering that the republican party
was sort of improvisation, extempore affair." spontane
association Of not together who
came together somewhat reluctantly and who had
organization it has done wonders 1t treads on the
heels OF the navist who have had the advantage more
perfect organization than any other of the parties II
able TO do much without the ordinary party helps
might have done and what may 1t do hereafter with
them 1t is folly to endeavor to keep these
out OF sight The republican party the only
the free soil party in this State many who the leaders
that party having shrunk from applying the questions
the day the principles they proessed eaous We
do not pretend to oresec what particular shape parties will
take in the approaching contest for the presidency but
do not perceive any way by which politicians will be able TO
avoid the necessity of recognising the difference opinion
the slavery question the dividing line between parties
The administration party has announced its
make and great of the adversses of admin
raton quite willing to place the competition for the
presidency on that issue
The Tribune is better authority than the Post ts
givnps-ou little less authoritative than Mr. Stewards
speeches few days ago Mr. Seward would have played
the dictator and have ordered know-nothinrs to get be-
hind and follow his lead This unexpected in the DO
cal wheel suggests to him the proprety Of concating
rather than dominecring over, know-nothings Being
thoroughly versed in all the arts of the demngogue he
knows how vibrate from cation to Cancellation The
Tribune sezes upon late call by know nothing con-
gressmen for Of their friends on which it
hangs most woong appeal to the know-nohngs for har-
mony and union amongst all the opponents Of democracy
in the organization of the House of Representatives If
Mr. Seward succeed in pulling the wool the eyes
Of the know-nohings in organizing the House, he will
have paved the way for cordle for the presiden
i which may not only to the contest
to the Onion than when republication preparing
for sngle-handed issue We inclined to agree
with those who think black repubcanism il crushed out
by its late defeats But the article from the Tribune with
our italics, will suggest its own comments:
