No one who has kept steady eye upon the movements
Of the sectional disunonsts since their leaders at Ptsburg

absolute submission unconditional separation, fail
have observed within the last few weeks evidences of
change Of tactics that point unmstakaby either to the
preparation of fraud the consummaon Of treason
A brief recital Of facts viii explain what mean
The programme of the present political contest pro-
mulgaed by Mr. Seward at Albany, in New York. in Dc
tober 1855 We quote from his speech that occasion
the following passage:
The [aboonl that has become at last necessary is
ms easy TO be made as it is The whole number Of
slavehodsrs only three hundred and fifty houssndone
hundredh of the entire population OF the country II
you add their parents children, Immediate relatives and de-
pendants they two mionsone fifteenth part Of the
American people, Slavery Is not and be, perpe
ual. II will be overthrow, either peacefully and lawfully
under this constitution il will work the subverson Of the
constitution, together with its overthrow Then the
Shareholders would perish in the struggle The change
made without violence and the agency Of the bal
box. The temper of the nation Is just liberal forbear
ing. will contribute any money and endure sacrifices

yours always be when you choose to have it. The
Senate OF the United States equally within power,
you only will perssteny endeavor for two years. to have
all the wrong that has been done, not
other slave State into the Union. Make only
years constant decisive effort and determine
what States shall be admitted"
The ultimate object Of overthrowng slavery in the
southern States is the paramount idea to which Mr. Sew
ards mind was directed The leading feature of the black
republican platform adopted at Philadelphia in June 1885,
by tho convention which nominated Colonel Fremont is
distinctly presented viz saUe States TO be admitted
into the Union Mr. Seward considered the work of aboli
hvs
session of the House of Representatives. he salts
fed they could hold and to the grand object
they had only to cake tone years constant decisive
effort" The whole canvass from that day to within the
last few weeks has been conducted in pursuance of this
programme.
In confirmation Of what have said quote next from
= speech of Senator Wilson, who is true representative
of New England sectionalism:
We shall overthrow the slave power of the republic we
shall enthrone freedom shall abolish slavery the Terrific
res; shall the national government from all repon-
sbty for slavery and all connexion with and then gen.
emenhen, when have put the nation, in the
Mr.. Van Buren,, openly, actually and psrpetuay the
side Of freedom, shall have glorious allies In the Soub
We shall have like Cassus NJ Clay. Loud applause
We sha have generous brave, gallant rs upon the
South Idough faces, who will in their time In their
way, for the interest Of the Easter and bondsman Law
the foundations Of policy o. emancipation that shall rive
freedom to three and half millions Of in America
Enthusastic app!ansol say, gentlemen s.e OBJ
J so', and these are our Purposes"
Lst us remember that more than three millions Of bond
men, grooming under namesss woes, demand that shall
rprove each other and that labor for their
lverance.
I tell you here tonight that the agitation this ques
ton Of human slavery will continue while the foot Of slave
presses the soil Of the American republic"
Senator Wilson does not mnce the matter he spoke for
the New England wing Of black epublcanism and he de-
csred It's osJscrs and to be distinctly to give
"rsedo~ 70 three and haJ million, Of men in America,
and to continue hs agitation Of his question Of human
slavery vAas The foot Of slave prese, the soil Of The Aueri
repp5lsc"
To place the truth OF premises beyond cav we add
the testimony Of Senator Hale who the abolition can
ddsts for the presidency in 1852 and who is now little
less prominent back-repubcan leader than Seward
himself We quote from letter Of Mr. Hale dated as late
as August 10, 1856;
"WAsHISoros, August 10, 1856.

Upon the testimony Of Messrs Seward Hale and VIII
son. We lay 1t down established truth that the republ
can organization has for Its ultimate object the abolition Of
slavery In all the southern States and tina, it's purpose IL
to be accomplished by FIRST getting possession OF tn. sew
cral departments Of the government and thereby making
IL that slave States TO be admitted Il
Is not necessary for preent purpose run out the pro-
Of reasoning by which the practical enforcement OF the
doctrine Of slave States Is relied on for the FINAL
overthrow Of the Institution Of slavery or the disruption
Of the confedcreey.
Surveying the field from this standpoint, we think we
discover evidences Of settled purpose the part Of
portion Of the Fremont leaders either 70 practise fatal
fraud upon the conservative portion OF the NORTH or 70
