Gov. Seward although loboring under greatly i'm
paired health, is working zeaously for the advance
meId of national Freedom. After his speech at De-
trot, which we have published, he addressed large
Fremont meeting at Jackson Michigan, on the 4th.
and he has made engagement to address the citt

The Hon. David Barclay the Representative ofthe
XXINth Congressional District in Pennsylvania, who
was elected by the Democrats, has renowned Bu-
chanan end the Cincinnati platform, and come out for
Fremont and Freedom. Mr.. Barclay has taken the
stump for Fremont.
A political discussion is to take place at Hacken'
sack n j. Oh the 18th inst, between Mr. j. Suther-
land and Chauncey Shafler, esq Mr.. Sutherland taxi
inc the affirmative, and Mr.. Shador the negative Of
the following propositions:
l. That Congress docs not possess the Constit lti)ral
power to prohibit Slavery in the Territories
g That if Congres. did possess such power it would
be wrong and ne1pedicrt to exercise it,
3: That the principle of popular sovereignty as set
forth in the Kansas Nebraska bill and affirmed by the
Cincinnati Convention il the true AN correc. principle
II regard 10 the Territories of the United States.
4. That the Republican Platform as far a; it relates
20 Slavery, is revolutionary and antason'stic to the
principles Of the Constitution Of the United States and
fatal to the Union under the Constitution. And

for Mr. Buchanan and not for Mr. Fremont.
We know not how it may be with the electors OF
IIackensack but IN most parts of this State the Re-

maintaining the above propositions before the people,
and would not thnl it worth their while to reply TO
such aGsur1ities
