Seward thinks for the Black Republican Party

No irritating and dist.ac,ins rivalry among a"prah''
will prevent the nomination of man upon whom
every fragment Of the disoin,ed and Heterogeneous

prolific and pe.,eut brain OF Seward, and never ha'
more repulsive progeny been brought forth, since

brood.
| Obviously aud indisputably the fortunes OF the
Union anG the Constitution in charge OF the Dem
ocratic party. If any other party has the disposition
no other party has the power, to resist the stupendou
! combination against the South. The mighty etior

Such being the proportions OF the danger and suct
the imperative need vi harmony vigilance aud zea
in the South and among the champions "t the Con
sti;u.iou aud the Union it is equally astonishing sn
,norttving that We should be dis:pat;ug oar strenc

Tn. conduct of the Wings of the South exhibits

thing Of the wisdom of,he enemyl Or. rather. why wi
they not display something Of his devotion to para

cot hesitate 10 act out their presen, advice. Bu,
TOO much to demand uf them, holding as they do in
Gispu;abie ascendancy in trkeen OF the neen South

support in the Norht is too much to uSk that the.
shorld ;eld the interests Of the South to the guar
diuu.hip Of party which does not possess the couh
dence OF the South, and which cGnnos claim the vot
of single Northern State We might as we'll betra!

charge of weak and unworthy sentinel. litl
reflection will bring the honest Wh!gs OF the South t.
this way of thinking. aud TO an active, earnest c"
operation with tue Democracy. There is yer,
broad distinction between the poet:cd"S aud the peo
! as While the former are controlled by selfish con
.ideratons, the people regard only the good Of TIT
couu,ry. and their conduct will be determined bI
motives Of patriotism. The masses OF the "hit
party In the South are no: SO blind from passion ant
so fettered by prejudice. that they are n,ensl0le t
! reason and incapable Of Independent conduct. For
,mo sophstry may deceive their understanding an'
lead them along the way Of folly but in the end they
will revolt from the tyranuy OF party aud vind'cat'
their sense and their patriotism by an incorrupt an'
earnest cooperation with the Democracy, in supper
Of common cause
