THE MISREPRESENTATION SEWARD


Speaking Of the State election, and its probable IN
uence upon the next Presidential election, the New
York Times, of the 29th nit, remarks
The State election Is close az hand. The premi-
nary canvass has been unusually animated less how
ever from any intrinsic Importance in the issues Of
| the contest than from their bearing upon the APP
preaching Presidential contest Of 1860. 1t is very
important 10 know upon which side Of that eontro-
veTsv the State OF New ork will probably be found
and the result Of next Tuesdays election, though it
will not be decisive, will throw some light upon the
probabilities Of the contest The Republicans OF this
State are evidently determined to make Gov. Seward
their next candidate for the Presidency. If they can
carry the State this fall they will confidently pledge
themselves to their brethren throughout the Union to
/ carry il for Mr. Seward in 1860 and with such
promise they will stand very good chance Of Sc
curing his nomination. 1t IA universally felt Inv the
great mass of the Republican party that Mr. Seward
is pre-eminenty entitled to the nomination. il there
is a reasonable chance OF success. The experiment
Of an expectancy candidate will not again be tried
except in the last emergency Col Fremont was
nominated in 1856 not because he was recognized
representative Of Republican principles-st less on
account OF any services he had rendered to the marty
or the eountry-but solely and exclusively because it
vas believed that he would evade hostilites which
otner and more deserving candidates would be sure
to encounter. 1t is not likely that the experiment

Well, since the above was written. the election has
taken place, and the Black Republicans have tr-
umphed They have elected their State ticket by an
overwhelming vote. They have carried large ma

story in few words, the greatest Commonwealth of
the Confederacy is now absolutely under their gov

more in the confidence of Senator Seward than any
other Journal there doubt thatit will insist with
great ygor ability aud perseverance, that "expedi.
ency,n as well as intrinsic justice" demand his
nomination at the hands of the Black Republicans.
That it will be successful we have not the remoest
reason to question The Black Republican programme
Of the next Presidential performance is already ar
ranged, and it will be published to the world in due
season. OF this fact let the Southern people rest
assured.
What the Times says Of the New York election is
equally true in regard to ether Northern elections
which have taken place. Says the Times 1.-THE
preliminary canvass lin New York; has been unusu-
ally animated less, however, from any intrinsic i'm
portance in the issues Of the contest than from their
bearing upon The approaching Presidential contest of
1862 We presume the same animation, flowing
from precisely the same cause, governed the Free
sellers in all the Northern States in which they have
triumphed. They were animated with desire to get
possession Of the Federal Government in order to
wage more relentless war against the institution of
