The HERALD doing good service In exposing the dan
gerous tendencies of Stewards uasm holding 10 to
public Yeprobaon his sectional crusade with all IT, dis
union purposes The Rochester speech which he an.
nounced theory of perpetual between the North and
South was repudated by the rank and file Of the repub
cans in Congress as h,resy which, adopted as party
PLATFORM would lead to inevitable disruption and defeat
1t was only justified by few Of his immediate followers,
as means Of counteracting an influence which would
otherwise have rallied on Gerrt Smith
Whc persistent effort is made to create the impress
sion that Seward 10 the choice Of the republicans in Con
gress for President, the fact is VIGOROUSLY otherwise
There are not dozen of that party who regard him as
ther available or acceptable. The main body prefer
conservative candidate, and aim at success which they
know to be mpossibity with his nomination In this
respect opinion greatly msrepresened by Stewards Or
ganized gang OF strikers lobbyists and punderers like
Matteson and Weed.
Seward has given mortal offence the republicans BY hin
mean constant and contemplate counting OF Southern
men whose section he habtuay abuses whose society
he seeks to the utmost point Of federation and too that in
the face of their undisguised sc0rn Of his adj
vsnces and opportunities
They were much mortified and indignant at his labo-
rous efforts TO appear conspicuous in the Napier ovation
social relations, owing 10 the insulting exclusion to which
they had been subjected previously No demagogue ever
disguised his associates much Seward has done this
winter, by thrusng himself forward every pretenco
assuming the leadership and resorting every artfu
and small expedent TO consequence the expense of
more deserving men, He is heartily despsed and most
by those whom he and his banditt-or such they are
represent as fayorDg his selfish schemes.
And II is well known in Washington circles that even
the ultra republicans felt and expressed themselves out
ragged, when few weeks ago, he personally attended
and introduced into an evening reception ut Dr. Baleys
the editor Of the National Era where many respectable
ladies' were assembled two negroes from jamaica who
were here soliciting subscriptions for colony in Africa
lie escorted them from his house, and the surprise
may be imagined, when, 1aDked by gentleman of color
on either side, he entered the salon thus giving prac
cal illustration of his Rochester theory and significant
admonon Of the society Of black spirits and white
that might be expected under his administration il such
q curee could be Inflicted on the country
He still hangs on here, and will till the beginning of
April distributing ncendary speeches through the land
and conivDg plans for packing the convention of 1860
The suggestion OF the "Its Villain OF the Times OF
possible combination Of Seward and Crttenden liz about
as probable as peaceabe union Of fire and water Crit.
enden is patriot and will not link his name with de-
magogue whom he detests; will any other man of
character.
Seward proposes reverse the natural order Of things
by giving dinner TO whoever will accept his invite in
Baltimore. We shall who can be persuaded 10 fall
into that trap. He has been trying the dinner business
here all winter bat 1t has turned out like the "drop
game in New York.
