MT. Stewards Speech at Rome, N. Y.

A'tA' pNNNiN llt'o 0lplUtI SDtbtIl at Rome, New York. The most material points in it are as folIows
 He spoke first of the stage at which the contest for freedom in the United States had arrived, that stage was the eff fective organization of the Republican party, ,now complete throughout all the Free States, and soon 10 be extended throughout the Slave States. He showed the party was organized in Maine, under the direction of Hamln and Fessenden; in Massachu. sets, under the guidance of Wilson and Adams; in New York, under the lead of Horace Greeley and Preston King in Pennsylvania, under the lead of Cameron and Campbell; in Ohio, under the lead of Chase and Wade; in New Hampshire, under the control of Hale and Clark and
 in Vermont under the management of Foot and Collamer; but, he said, as yet the Republicans abored under the dsad- vantage of having portion equal to twenty of their members of Congress balanced by the three fifth representation of the slaves in the slave States.
 He then proceeded to speak, secondly, of the objects first to be obtained the ad- mission of Kansas, the overthrow of he Dred Scott decision. and the restoration of freedom in the Territories, were dis tinct and ultimate objects !"
 It will be seen that MT. Seward con- templates no "Fusion" organization in future, but speaks of the Republican party as the only antagonist to the Democracy. " 1t is soon to be extended" he says, " into the slave States!" The Winter Davises, tie George D. Prentices and the Hum- phrey Marshalls of the South are confi- denlly expected by the New York Sena- tor to enlist under his banner. If Mir. Seward is the correct exponent of the Op- position to the Democracy, the great Presidential contest of 1860 will be fought under the banner and upon the issues of the Republican or Abolition party. The {" Americans" and other elements of the <" Fusion" host will have to make their election between Seward and the sectional Republican party and the National De- mocracy.
 The New York Senator is not above telling gross falsehood when he says the three-ffth slave representation is d !" dis advantage" to the Republicans. It is an advantage to them. In the North negroes who are not permitted to vote are counted equally with whites in the apporlionment upon which members of Congress are elected In other words, ninety thousand negroes m the free States have white member of the House of Representatives. Tn the South one hundred and twenty thousand negroes have a white member of the House. The three-ffth clause in the Constitution is disadvantageous to the South. That section of the country would have twenty additional members of Con- gress if they would abolish slavery. Yet, MT. Seward talks about that institution strengthening the political power of the South.
 MT. Seward makes the overthrow of a judicial decision one of the objects of the Republican party. The Judiciary is to be made war upon and rendered sebservi- ent to the uses of political parties. How the decision is to be overthrown" Mr. Seward does not state. As all the Terri tories are practically free and contain no slaves, and are never likely to have any, there is something very ridiculous in the talk about restoring them to freedom. .
 These speeches of MT. Seward at Rochester and Rome contemplate the agi- tation of slavery in the North until the Southern States are obliged to abolish that institution and send their blacks by hun dreds of thousands into our borders. = Cincinnati Enquirer.
