Seward-The Agrarian.

The following article, which we take from |
the Richmond (Va.) Enquirer, is well written
and very much to the point II becomes us
well to keep an eye on SEWARD and on
CHASE, and all men of similar peculiarities.
Their characters should be made familiar to
the people, and their incendiary teachings
their demoralizing influence, held up to pub
lie consideration. 1t is around such men as
these that the discordant elements of the
opposition must gather. They are the best
opponents of the party whose vitality is ia
naticism. and which lives only in opposition to
the principle justice and right.
The Enquirer says:
The North should watch narrowly the
the course of this arch intriguer and false,
hollow-hearted demagogue. In his stump
speeches, he is assailing Southern slavery,
because he says it is an aristocratic institu
ton. lie well knows that the possession of
land, without slaves, invests the owner with
all the power of the aristocrat without any
of his noble sentiments and generous feel
ings. He well knows that to emancipate
slaves, black or white, is but to get rid of the
personal and individual obligation to support,
to govern, to protect, to provide for them.-
He is n learned man, not like what John
Quincy Adams was,
A bookfull blOckhead, ignorantly read,
With loads of learned lumber in his head

trust and contemn him more than we do; fol
passion, sentiment, fanaticism, without rea
son, are their sole guides. They make use Of

calculating. He is trying to make use o
