idate of the Black Republicans for the next PTesl
dency with promising chance Of success and il
the second place. be is the undisputed leader of the
fanatical horde that now govern the entire NORTH
almost without exception saving Illinois, and is bound
to continue their leader, whether success crowns his
aspirations not as long he lives, and his menta
faculties remain unimpaired. He is the life and sou
the head and front-the moving spirit and vita
power--of the Abolition and Black Republican or
CARNATIONS, and Of all the organizations and isms
whose chief rallyng cry is hostility to the South and
embittered hatred to the institution Of domestic
slavery. The fallen angels expelled from Heaven for
rebelling against the ALMIGHTY could no more have
got along without the Devil Incarnate to reorganze
them and lead them forth to deeds Of evil On this
fair and beautiful earth of ours, than could the Black
Republicans get along without their leader and
Arehangel = William II. Seward. According to
Milton the demons Of Pandemonum lay powerless,
helpless and supine, in their place Of punishment,
until the superior intellect, cunning tact and will of
Satan infused life and yigor into them, and led
them to hope for victories 10 other spheres. We
regret the parallel does not hold good further The
Eimps of darkness never triumphed at all. Their
first attempt at disturbing celestial harmony was
duly rewarded They were incontinently driven out
Of heaven into hell In this country which has here
toore been the paradise Of the nations the prospect
is that the diabolica spirits will prevail as they have
prevailed to fearful extent that good patriots and
Christians will be crushed down or driven away, and
that the ploter Of all the mischief the main support
Of the Internal power of Abolitionism and fanaticsm
viii be elevated to the chief place in the conederacy
or rather, that the chief place in the confederacy
will be dragged down 10 his Ubiquitous level He
has already prophesied triumph and his chief priests
serbes and the captains Of his molly but formidable
hosts are daily assuring their myriad followers that
the day of final victory is close at hand. The Abo
litonists and their leader, and the Devil and his
myrmidons approximate each other very closely in
character and Intentions Both desired and desire to
destroy the best government in their respective
spheres to reduce order TO chaos to substitute hatred
for harmony and to bring utter blight and ruin
upon iair and glorious fabrics We wish the fate of
the latter could be made the fate of the former but
we are unable to discover much ground on which
to base practical Intelligent hope.
inc Rochester speech Of Senator Seward created
deep sensation and well it might, fer not week
elapsed before an election took place which resulted
in placing the government Of the mightiest State in
the eontederacy directly in the hands Of his devoted
friends and adherents, and three weeks before, and
on the same day, similar elections resulted in SINH
lar manner, with solitary exception giving him, as
1t were the complete control Of the free States Of the
North. His words were ominous and prophetic The
elections verified them almost to the letter. No
wonder there was sensation. There was reason for
q powerful and allpervading sensation umong all
patriots in the land, and especially in the South,
against whose people his hunders were launched as
with the voice of doom.
Bnt this Rochester speech has been spoken of by
the timid and conservative as radical and rabid
SO destructive and threatening that It would arouse

Of Senator Seward was neither radical nor rabid,
when contrasted with previous speeches delivered by
him in the United States Senate and elsewhere. on
the contrary, it was rather mild and considerate
and the archenemy Of the South at Rochester evnced
indirectly, disposition to let us Off more oheaply
than on former occasions.
10 demonstrate this fact as well as to show that
be represented the views interests and policy Of his
party correctly at Rochester and in other places, we
propose quoting unquestionable authorties 10 them
we invite the earnest attention Of the Southern peo
pie and ifthey ponder them carefully they will find
that the Rochester speech less radical than for
mer speeches from that intellectually mighty and

Slavery is not and never can be perpetnal Ii will

this Constitution or it will work the snlv6rsion of
the Constitution together with its own overthrow.
