SENATOR SEWARD.


cal wireworker, delivered a speech at Rochester
New York, on the 25th alt. The speech was long
occupying one hour and half in its delivery, and
was, Of course, an exceedingly able effort Seward
never makes any other He deems it duty to him
and his hearers to always prepare himself for the
OCCASION aud be always does prepare himself Hence
when he speaks those who listen TO him enjoy an in
teectual treat no matter how deeply they may de-
test the doctrines inculcated.
We find in the last New York Evening Post a re-
port Of the speech. He dwelt chiefly according to
the reporter upon the subject of slavery showing
first what the intentions of tile trainers Of the
Constitution and second what has been the tendency
of the Government under the control OF the arstocracy
4 of slavery He took the radical Abolition ground
that this country must eventually be either wholly free
altogether slave territory This carried out and en-
forced the idea he deliberately enunciated last winter
in the Senate, that he hoped to live 10 see the iay
and expected to live to see the dayJwhen the foot
step Of slave would not pollute the soil of the CON
| federacy. He rests his rather undeyeloped argu.
ment as yet, Qor the time has not arrived to show
his hand plainly upon the fact that as the majority
section is continually growing stronger and as there
Is no chance for the minority section to acquire add
tIonal strength by the admission of slave States
that the North will soon possess the Government
in all its branches, and with the Government the
power to do as it pleases. He then denounced the
Democratic party the great ally of the slave power
said that if succeeded the next demand of the slave
States would be the abrogaton of the laws suppress
ing the slave trade that slaves enough could be
imported from Africa at 500 per head to fill up the
interior Of the continent; that these importatons
would increase the number Of slave States to such
an extent that no amendment of the Constitution
would be allowed and that when all this was accom-
plished it expected that the free States would
become sufficiently demoraized to accept Of slavery
themselves He went on in this strain at length an
pealed to the Black Republicans of New York in
eloquent terms to stand by and elect the Freesoil
ticket, pointed to the success of the Feesoers in
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Iowa, as encour
aging, almost certain harbingers of final success and
finally concluded in-this wise. Speaking Of tile Re-
publican party he said
The secret of its assumed success lies in that very
characteristic which in the mouths of scofyrs CON
stitutes great and lasting imbectv and renroach
u hes u the fact that it is party of one idea but
that idea is a noble one-an idea that fills ana IL.
