FrAs~As u w. II. Seward.
Among the varieties With which our columns
are garnished this morning. the particular sub
ject to which we would invite the attention Of
the steady, inaexible and industrious supporters
Of Hon. ". H. Seward for the Presidency is the
stirring call for detailed and immediate or
ganization In bis behalf, throughout the North,
in view Of the grand campaign of 1860.
| We all know that Col. Fremont was only in
tended by the friends of Mr. Seward in 1856 as
the rallying cry for the organization of a great
Seward party for the next election. We all know
that bad the leading Seward managers last sum-
mer really deeired 1t, they might have secured
the election of Fremont, with or without the
consent of Fillmore. But it was enough that
Fremont did the heavy work of clearing the
track. and now the only question u.s. when, how
and where shall the supporters of Mr.. Seward for
be succession begin their active ut-door work
| in his behalf? We say that now is the time; for
| the same general argument which will apply to
Fremont and Fillmore will apply with many
additional reasons, to the case Of Mr. Seward.
| The democracy Of the North, especially
Of New York Oity-since the disburse-
ment Of the general government .plunder--
have become demoralized, disintegrated Ind
wrangling democracy; and the Hre-eating leaders
of the party In the South are wsnderin9 off after
sectional and secession Jack.o,-lantern. The
Fillmore party, it is very extensively believed,
was knocked a. fat as founder and as dead as
door nail in November; but whether Buchanan
or Fremont, the German republicans or the Irish
Catholics, hit him the hardest blow between the
eyes, remains as much mystery, and yet as
much matter of public opinion, az the murder
Of DR.. Burdell. A few days hence the Louisville
American National Council will solve the pro-
blem whether Sam" is really dead Or still within
the reach Of galvanism aud brandy and water.
In the meantime this very movement of the
fragments Of the scattered Fillmore party should
be enough 70 provoke the friends of Mr.. Seward
to action. AS set forth in our call, the occa-
sion and all the circumstances of the occasion are
propitiOus- New York city, the very headquar-
ters Of the national democracy, is under regular
siege On every side we are comprised by the
entertainments and batteries Of the late Lee
gislature. With the hope of thus re-
ducing this city and its suburbs to a
surrender to the central power at Albany,
there is also the hope of complete proststion of
that balance of power which this little corner of
the commonwealth would otherwise retain
against the arrangements Of Mr.. Stewards Albany
regency. Thus, let the city of New York aud its
surroundings be revolutionised by the municipal
acts Of Albany lawmakers, and the most formi-
dabe fortress of Mr.. Stewards enemies in the
North Will be captured Hence the importance
of an immediate organization here, there and
everywhere, under the raliyng cry of "wH
Seward against the field for 1860" It Is indis-
pensable to the early suEugalion Of New York
city.
The Washington lobby, still under the manage
mcnt Of Mr.. Weed, Mr.. o. B. Mattieson and Com
Pany; the Albany lobby aud the Albany junta
in good discipline In conjunction with the va
rious railroad and land specializing bubbles Of the
day, may now be made to work most gloriously
together under the flag of w. II. Seward. And
why delays Why wait until general financial
collapse shall spoil everything No time is to
be lost; for we know not what day may bring
forth. Now, railroads, railroad land bills. patent
jobs town lots. Autograph cities. and financial
schemes Of all kinds, may be turned into somtch
solid cash in the organization Of Mr.. Stewards
party. The delay Of year or two, or of month
or two, may result In the loes of oil these
resources Of political capital. But are not these
cash resources of railroad stocks and credits and
bonds, aud lobby fees, city sites, town Lots, i
&c, too Valuable TO be was,efully thrown away.
And how can they be more effectively used than
In meeting the contingent expenses Of a general
and detailed party organization In behalf of the
man who stands before the world the organ, the 1
concerned.
An immediate Seward organization upon this
financial basis, with Mr.. Weed officially APP
pointed 10 manage the big villains at Albany,
and Mr.. Raymond to cater for the "ittle villains"
of this bailiwick, would be mastery move
ment From his satisfactory disposition of that
thousand dollar draft and the Tribu~ Kansas
fund, 10 say nothing Of the Sleyegammon con-
tributions for the liberation of Ireland. Horace
Greeley would make . good treasurer for the
Central Financial Committee Of this proposed
general organization for Mr.. Seward. The Che
Waller Webb has large ideas Of money transac.

has not addicted himself to that nice considera.
ton Of small details which Is the peculiar recon-
incubation OF Greeley. Mr. Wesley, of the
7'"c, IL entirely too much mixed up with the
lame ducks Of Wall street to be relied upon as the
dsbursing and accounting officer OF a great party
movement Try Greeley, and give Raymond
the post Of focos,u to Thurlow Weed, and we
think the machine will work. Raymond is fish
ing for something, and he will probably accept
the first nibble az q bite, and pull up his line.
Mr.. Stewards Albany managers, therefore. in the
outset of this reorganization of the party as an
out-and. out Seward party. must not overlook .he
