immense commerce, its great material resources,

Such is Northern national Democracy. Whether
it will be sustained at the polls the ensuing election
remains to be 1t has to contend with all the
elements of the opposition-wth Black Republican,
ism fused with Know Nothingism and every other
ism which infests and afflicts Northern society.
In contrast with this noble national tone of the
New York Democracy, we present the following
summary OF the principles and aims of the opposi-
ton, set forth by Senator Seward in his speech
at Rochester on the same night:
Senator Seward addressed very large Republican
meeting in this city tonight. Corinthian Hall was
crowed to excess. He spoke about an hour and
half and dwelt chiefly upon the subject of slavery,
showing, first, what the intention of the trainers
Of the Constitution, and second what has been the
tendency of the Government under the control of the
aristocracy of slavery. This country, he said must
eventually be wholly free, altogether slave terri
tory. lie arraigned the Democratic party as the
great ally Of the slare poaoer Democratic Admins
trations merely record its behests. The next demand
of the slave power will be the abrogaon of the law
suppressihg the slave trade, and so they will import
from Africa at the cost of only twenty dollars
head, slaves enough to fill up the interior of the
tinent Thus relatively increasing the number of
slave States, they will allow no amendment to the
Constitution prejudcia to their interests, and hav
ing permanently established their power they will
expect the Federal judiciary to nullfy all State laws
which shall interfere with the internal or foreign
commerce in slaves. When the free States shall be
sufficiently demoralized to tolerate these designs
they may reasonably conclude that slavery will be
accepted by those States themselves. If it were
possible to conceive for moment that the Demo-
cratic party should disobey the bchess of slavehod
ers We should then Withdrawal of the slave
holders who would leave the party to perish. The
portion of the party which is found in the free
States is mere appendage, convenient to modify its
constitution and is less effective in regulating its
movement than the nebulous tail of the comet is in
determining its appointed, though apparently eceen
trio course, or the fiery sphere from which it
ates. Senator S. finally spoke Of the policy Of the
Republican party as contrasted with that of the De-
mocrat;, and alluded to the recent success of the
former in Pennsylvania and the West. His concud :
ing remarks were as follows: The secret Of its as
sumed success lies in that very characteristic which,
in the mouths of scoffers constitutes it great and
lasting imbecity and reproach. 1t lies in the fact
that it is party of idea; but that idea is no.
bic one-an idea that fills and expands all generous
souls-the idea Of equaty-the equality of al! men
before human tribunals and human laws as they all
equal before the divine tribunal and divine laws
know, and you know that revolution has begun.
/ know, and all the world knows, that revolutions
never go backwards. Twenty Senators and a hun
dred Representatives proclaim boldly in Congress
to-day sentiments and opinions and principles OF
freedom, which not many men in this free
State dared to utter in their own homes twenty
years ago While the government of the United
States, under the conduct of the Democratic party,
has been all that time surrrendering field and
castle after another to slavery, the people of the
United States have been no less steadily and perse
verngly gathering together the forces with which to
back again all the fields and all the castles
which have been lost and to confound and over
throw, by one decisive blow, the betrayers of the
Constitution and of freedom forever.
