10 publishing his letter today, we are
thankful that we can couple with ii the con-
fident announce mehI that Ike Stale of New

he fears, and has taken lis true psoit;an as

No other Issue was known III the late Stale
Election. We have Tie soberly written
words oil leading Republican organs Ter say
ing "under the issue made and proclaimed
10 the world, it could scarcely have been
made more distinct if the name of Mr..
SEWARD hal been used by the electors. -
Upon that issue Mn. SEWARD is defeated.
Our correspondent labors under mis-, D.
prehension as 10 Northern sentiment, 1t is
by no means sure That Mr.. SEWARD is TO be
nominated BY the Republican National Cen.
venlion. II is very sure that if nominated
he will be defeated, even in the strongholds
Of the North. Nor should Mr., SEWARD
be accepted as the exponent of Republican
ism. His parlizans claim that position for
him, but we knew that among Republicans
exists streRg sentiment against both tie
proprIetY and expediency of placing him
before the people as candidate Tor the
Presidency. The Republican organization,
viewed in its true light. is party of pre-
ventiOn, and not of aggression. Mr.. Sew
ard is recognized as On sgsressionist.
Lei US also assure our correspondent that
