The New YoRK HERALD ON SEwARD.-The
New York Herald has an article on Seward
as " model man, but not for the Presi lency." "
1t says of him.
1t is deeply to e regretted that Mr.. vii
liam ii. Seward is politically committed to
so much that is bad, when it can so easily be
shown that, in other respects, he is nearly
everything that is good. He is, in fact, a
good man. He smokes rather too many
cigars; but they are of the most fragrant to-
baeeo, and corresponds admirably with the
aroma from the cut glass out of which he
drinks success to tee-totalism and the Sons Of
Temperance. There are very few of our
statesmen more decorous, staid and respecta-
he than Mr.. Seward. He neither fights,
CANDLES nor is addicted to debauchery. He
Is model Of private virtue. We do not be
lieve he swears much. His dressis prorriety
itself-a combination of semi ecclesiastical
gravity with an every day business look,
which instantly inspires confidence He is
the avowed representative of the whole
moral law, tempered by overiowing indul
genee for every failing and piccadllo on the
part OF his fellow creatures, and especially of
the niggers. What pity that such an ideal
for future President, should be gangrened
with the heresy Of "irrepressible conflict"

TIE SOUTHERN PLATFoRM-Tbe Charles
Mercury lays down the following platform
as the proper course for the South to pursue
in connection with the coming Presidential
election:
l. Let the Legislatures of the Southern
States, at their next meetings, distinctly de-
clare the rights of the South, as plainly de
ducible from the Dred Scott case, accompa-
MED with u resolution that they will vote
for nc one for the Presidency or Vice Presi-
dency of the United States, who does not
plainly and distinctly affirm and support
them without non committalism, lodging or
eQuivocation.
q Should the Charleston Convention de.
clare and affirm these rights, and nominate
candidates for the Presidency and Vice Pres.
idency who distinctly support them, then the
Southern States will support such candidates
and should they be elected, proof will be at.
forded that the South may continue with safe.
ty in the Confederacy
5. But should the candidates for the Presi.
dency and Vice Presidency, thus fairly nom
mated 10y the Charleston Convention, be de-
feated in the Presidential election, and the
Republican or Abolition party succeed in
electing their candidates, then the Southern
Legislatures, as soon thereafter as they shall
successively assemble together should recall
their senators and Representatives from the
Congress Of the United States, and invite the
cooperation of their sister Southern States
to devise means for their common safety.
4. But should the Charleston Convention
refuse to declare and affirm the rights of the
South, as deducible from the bred Scott case,
or nominate candidates who will not affirm
and support them, then let the Southern
States nominate and support candidates of
their own, plainly and faithfully rejecting
and supporting their rights
s. Should the Southern States succeed in
eecting their sectional candidate, thus nomi.
mated of course they will deem it a sufficient
proof for the present of their safety in the
Union.
6. But should the Southern States fail in
electing the sectional candidates thus nomi-
mated, then let the same course be pursued as
has been suggested in case the Democratic
party be defeated with candidates standing
on the rights of the South, the Black Re-
publican or Abolition candidates be elected.

A Republican Measure.

The Republican papers of the North are
claiming the Homestead bill as measure Pc
culiarly their own, though Democrats were in
favor of it generation before this new and
ephemeral party began to exist, and if it is
ever successful will probably be passed by
Democratic votes when this decaying organi-
zation shall be entirely dissolved. Waterto,on
WIS., Democrat.
To this the Milwaukee Sentinel replies -
'The vote on the passage of this measure
is the best possible answer to the above plea.
Of the yeas, eighty-two were Republicans
and thirty eight Democrats. Of the nays, one
was Republican and sixty Democrats! That
Democrats were in favor of this measure a
generation ago, is only another proof that
the party which now claims that name is a
bogus concern. The true Democracy of the
day is to be found among the Republicans.

An Unjust Attack.

The Times of Saturday takes occasion to
assault generally the editor of the st. Anthony
Neos, who was formerly connected with the
Times as Reporter and Editor 1t alludes to
an unfortunate outrage upon his person by
the captain of the Grey Eagle, which every
press in ST. Paul condemned at the time, and
which is we'll known to have been mistake

averred, for the reporter of the Pioneer, whom
Capt. HARRIS said he supposed Mr.. CRoFFUr
to bel But the Times now notices it as fol-
lows: -.E~ .-..s .- g.: -
While in this capacity he insulted the
Captain and Clerk of the Grey Eagle, for
which act the former kicked him off his boat
and he ought to have kicked him into the riv-
er. He sued the Captain and then used the
columns Of the Times to abuse Judge Simons
for not deciding the case as he (Croffut)
wished"
of course Mr.. NEwsoN knops that this
version is unjust and false; yet he deliberate
ly makes it to the public 1t is, however, a
guide as to the amount of credit to be attached
to any of Mr.. NEwsoN's statements, when
personal feeling and animosity guides his

EA note received by us from J. W d.
TAYLOR, ESQ.,, Secretary Of the Minnesota and
Pacific Railroad Company, denies that he
had anything whatever to do with the gross
and false article in the Pioneer making the
wanton attack upon Coy RAMSEY, and mis-
representing the "object of his visit East"
As we were aware that Mr. TAYLOR had
been helping the young men of the Pioneer
lately-as for instance in the article of Feb
10th, entitled "The Process of Making Black
White"-we supposed that he was fairly char
geable with editorial responsibility, and that
he had undertaken that Supervisory care''
over the needless young men of the Pioneer
establishment, which we limited the other day
as being SO evidently needed during EARLlS.

one that had escaped Mr.. TAYLoR's friendly
censorship: still when mems salaries are at
stake, and they are smarting and bowling un-

their cooler moments they would avoid

The Ice boat.

The rain on Thursday morning last, says
the Prairie Du Chen Leader of Saturday last,
and the mild weather since, have occasioned
some anxiety to those interested in the new
ice boat Still, the ice holds good, and if it
continues so for but one week longer, the ex-
pertinent will be tested. The woodwork of
the boat, under the foremanship of Mr.. GEO.
E. STEVENS, has been pushed forward with a
rapidity that has astonished even the inventor,
and made ample amends for some vexatious
delays in the receipt of portions of the iron
work. Notwithstanding these delays, Mr..
WIZARD now thinks it possible to get the boat
out by Thursday nert-two days sooner than
he first calculated. The boat itself is now
beginning to assume ship-shape; and the car
part is ready for putting together Is soon as
the runners and driving wheel arrive. The
machine shop, where the work is being done,
presents lively scene, with the large force Of
hands, all working as the occasion demands,
and might make one think that good tines
had come again.

We regret to learn that an occurrence Of
an unfortunate nature took place at Kerrick's
camp, in the Pineries, on Little Elk river, on
or about the 18th inst. The men there
charged young man with having stolen some
$50 in money and $500 worth of notes and
papers from the camp, and took the matter
into their own hands. They deliberately hung
the boy till he was nearly choked, to make
him confess the theft. This torture was re-
peated until life was nearly extinct, and let
ting him down, they beat him in so barborous
manner that he still bears the scars and
bruises upon his body. Failing to extort the
confession of a crime, which it is highly prob
able he never committed, they released him,
and the poor boy made the best of his way to
Watab, 40 miles distant, to tell the story of
his wrongs, and make an effort for redress.
This outrage took place in Todd county, but
it bears the same barbarous features which
characterized the murder of Rhinehart in LIE
Sueur.
