ly frightened in view of the probable oonse-
quenccs in the South in reference to the next oo-
gress, from the late abolition harangues of ~.
II. Seward. Accordingly we are told, in sub
stance, by our cautious philosopher of the old
white hat and leather breeches, that Seward is
not half so black az he has been painted; that
his Rochester speech is very materially softened
down by his subsequent speech at Rome, and
that from both speeches it is apparent that the
anti-slavery policy Of Mr.. Seward is as harmless
as genuine Orange county milk, fresh from the
COW. Unfortunately, however, that Rochester
manifesto is upon record, as approved and pub
lished from the hands of the orator himself; and
the record will thus stand against him. We ad-
nit that the speech was intended partly to cut
under the abolition platform of Gerrit Smith;
but the prime object in view was an anti-slavery
bid for the Presidency, which would cast Cover
nor Banks, Governor Chase, Senator Hale, and
all other republican aspirants in the shade. In
this light, if the opposition to the democracy in
the South can, in cooperation with their North
ern republican allies, elect single member to
Congress from any Southern State, the result
will be victory worth recording.
