The tiOn-DeIiberaIcIy Taken-of
the Great Leader OF the Republican
Party.
An open quarrel is brewing between the
friends Of Mr.. SEWARD, and that portion of
FREMoNTs supporters who act with BENNETT,
BLAIR and BANKS. Until he went to Mich
igan few days since, he had made no speech
es during the canvass. "He came" says the
Detroit Free Press, "ostensibly to help his
friend Howard, but what was his real intent?
To advance the cause Of FREMoNTIsM? We
apprehen1 not His speeches do not show it.
lie referred to FREMoNT but once in the course
of his Detroit speech, and then, in single
sentences, as "a modest sincere man, ofgenius.''

"He came to let the world know, and to let
Col. FREMONT aud his peculiar friends know,
that hostility to slavery extension, as declared
at Philadelphia, is not the sole plank in lis
platform. He came to advise those who will
administer the government in FREMoNq's
name should he be elected, what he will ex-
pect of them, and to advise the country what
will be his future course should FREMONT
not be elected. Mr. SEWARD, we warrant
will speak no where else. He has done un-
til Congress shall again assemble. He has &C.
complishrd his present purpose, and gone
home.
That FREMoNT's administration would be
forced to adopt Mr. SEwARDs policy as its
policy we have no manner of doubt. 1t
would have to do that, or have Mr.. SEWARD
for an enemy. What is Mr.. SEwARD's pol
icy%
In his speech at Jackson, he said:
The whole war from the beginning of the
world 10 this day, has been the unequal contro-
! veTsy against the property caste which means
/ to Cypress all other classes. And, if the great
mass OF men are ever to exercise control In the
| affairs of government they must be willing TO
| take the votes of Irishmen, Scotchmen, French
men, Germans, Catholics, Protestants-NegTOes
1t is not possible to mistake the significance
of this language. In the same speech, he fur
ther says:
| You must permit me to say that l don't ex-
pect to find you with this resolution for five
years TO come. don't expect you will stand
| by your present feelings. These children / see
around me will not be like their fathers. They
have been born and baptised into the true faith
| But am not talking to them. l am talking TO
men Of my own age. ! don't believe you are
established / think such an end requires
| great deal more than you have thought yet
| The Christian religion came into the world
when the old saints were unable to save it any
longer. You see it required new religion.
| am afraid that a great many of you think you
will get pretty good salvation by sticking to
the old parties. If you have not moral cour-
age enough to adopt and organize new church.
| you are no men for me.
mean to say that if you don't learn, don't
change your habits and thoughts on this sub
iect, and learn to love freedom moro than peace,
so that vou can admit the saUe 10 be your brother,
although you may not break his bonds, you will
make poor republicans and poor Christians
| (Chee rs.) We should seek first TO establish
the fundamental principle of this government,
| which is, that it is the right, not of slaves TO
govern freemen, but of freemen TO govern them
selves. When you attain this ground, you will
have acquired that stand which will enable
you to recognize brothers In all around you.-
And though this is a deep aud profound change
of mind and heart, what is there in it but that
which we are commanded to make, in order TO
render our worship acceptableI To be q lover
and defender OF the rights of many-of the
| freedom of the whole human races nothing
else than to execute the Will of our Father in
Heaven, that we love our brother as we love
ourselves"
All this tends to one point-the abolition
of all slavery in the United States. The
Free Press says again:
This is Mr.. Stewards conception of freedom.
This is the freedom he breaches and teaches
1t Is the freedom he will require the Fremont
administration to teach, provided there should
be such administration. Mr.. Seward is
right; the people are not prepared for it, and
there will have to be new dispensstion, and
a new church, before they will be prepared for
it. IL don't believe" said he, ''yOu are estab-
lshed l think such an end requires a great
deal more than you have thought of it." We
think so, too.
