GOVERNOR SEwARD-The National
Ira. of Washington, defends Senator
SEWARD from the assaults made upon
him dy certain Republican journals, and
properly says:
Panegyric is not to tas!e. nor shall
We indulge in it now. But it is sheer
folly to suppose that Mr.. Seward has
changed his character, his purpose, or
his policy. He is just as true to the
cause of freedom TO day, as be has ever
been. He does not advocate a perma.
nent decrease Of The standing army. He
has not said that TIE battle between free
dom and slavery is over. He has not re-
nounced allegiance to the Republican
party. He has not given up the cause
of Freedom in Kansas.

against a known usurpation; the plea
gravely advanced for admitting and es
tablishing the usurpation, that it can
afterwards be overthrow /; the threat
that it shall be sustained b. military
power, and that until the enforced slave
constitution is submitted to, the United
States troops shall not be Withdrawn from
the Oppressed territory; the assertion that
the constitution carries slavery by its own
intention, essence, and force; that more
over, the interests and will of the Slave
States are to be regarded first and SUI
preme in governing the territories, with
out any respect to the interests or wishes
of the Free States; all these things con-
slitute a Message from the Magistrate of
a free people, unprecedented in folly. in
science, immortality. AMI mischief. The
author of the Message in regard to Kan.
sas has made his declarations deliberate
ly, but the whole country knows that
they are not true. The whole country
knows that truths lie back of the asser-
tons of the Message. which, adverted to,
or permitted TO be revealed, would
convert the Message into a glazing false
hood.
The motives of the usurpation in Kan
Sas, the mixture OF elements in it, and
th- arguments and means by which it is
sought TO be established, make it the
most daring monstrosity of wickedness
ever attempted to be palmed or enforced
upon a civilized state. Yet the President
says, Submit to it, let it be legiiimately
inaugurated and established. in order 10
remove i'll A villain lays claim to your
house, your farm, and brings you a Gorg-
ed deed, and orders you TO give up your
property; and when you demand protec-
ton OF tee law against him, you are ad-
vised that you must, for the sake of
peace, 10 prevent agitation. frs; consent
10 his possession, and acknowledge his
hight in the abstract. and when he is
settled in your place, you can eject him
at common law! Let the wrong De COM
mittcd, be consummated, under protest,
by the presence of United States troops,
and then, when it is perfected you can
sweep it awayl The advice of the Orr
entail despot TO the Jews, whom he had
authorized by law to be murdered. never
equaled this plan in absurdity. Let the
unrighleous law, giving permission TO
your murderers, stand, and be executed,
and afterwards YOU may resist al your
own pleasure. Ii you find a villain set
ting FIRE to your n~eighbor's house, BY all
means let him have his own way, and do
not resist him, for you can afterwards
build another, and there is a sworn con-
spiracy that if your neighbor's house is
not permitted to be burned. yours shall
be. Acknowledge a usurpation by re-
ceiving it, and in SO doing, give the
Unites States government ard troops the
right, as well as the power and opporiu-
nifty TO enforce it, because, afterwards,
you can throw it OF, by a constitution of
your own,-if you are permitted. Let
men remember the story of the old man
of the sea. You can never throw off an
oppression which you have voluntarily
received.

We see by the E!yria Democrat that
Mr.. W. MEEKER recovered a verdict of
$1,000 against p. KNOWLES for damage
sustained by the former by being cut by
a scythe in the hands of the latter, 10
September 1854. The two were at work
when a careless sweep of the defendants
scythe inflicted a cut on the leg of the
plaintiff, which, of course, must have
been a very severe one to have warranted
so large a verdict.
