Worse Than Seward.

! modest silence becomes il best
Worse Than Seward.
The Washington ConsiiHiion, the organ of the Ad.
minstraOn holds the following language in reference
to DorGLls:
at requires little reflection to perceive that so far as
the interests of Shareholders are concerned Stewards
doctrine Is actually better than that OF Douglas"
80 well does the Nashville Banner express our own
sentiments in the following article that adopt it as
our and call the special of the Southern
people to it
Joseph Surface of most excellent senti-
mentS, and vet he a villain and a hypocrite Words
in praise of virtue always upon his lips but the
Gather OF lies had possession Of his heart The peccad-
loes Of his frank though wild and thoughtless brother
were deprecated by the immaculate Joseph with all the
"arat and fervor Of indignant and vriuous innocence
while the dend of lust enthrOned in his own bosom
aud planned the dishonor OF his companion and friend
The leaders of the Democratic party are nothing
more or less than many Joseph Surfaces They tAunt
the Southern Opposition with desire affiliate with the
Republican party, of which Seward is prominent and
influential member ami though the Opposition repudiatc
and condemn the doctrine of the arch agator and dis.
ayow all aud every intention Of aiding in the establish
men of hs policy, they reprOached all occasions
in season aud out ofseasou, with desire form coal-
ton with him aud his followers.
If this charge were true, it could not be made with
proprieiy by the Democratic leaders The Opposition.
ii they courted an alliance with Seward would not in
view of the language of the Washington oracle be as
wicked and unprincipled the Southern Democrats
The Southern Democrats openly seek coalition with
tie Douglas Democrats. Their Representatives in the
Charleston Convention will be compelled to sit side by
side with the friends aud supporters of the great apostle
OF Squatter Sovereignty. Not one of them will COM
plain of his company The Southern Democrat and
Swatt,r Sovereignty Democrat will confer together aud
mnge in council Ike brothers, without feeling the least
sense OF degradation by the association.
The southern ireeater the advocate Of the African
slave trade, and Of slave code for the Territories will
take his scat in the Charleston Convention with Northern
ffeesoiers who oppose the slave trade and avow the
doctrine oI 'errOTIaI suprr.la,y q uuc4ru, wulcu IN,
washington Constitution declares than the doc
iltnes Of Seward and with all the pollution necessarily
arising from the foul contact still clnging to his garments
he will come forth before the world like his prctotyp
Joseph Surface from his vlnous schemes against the
honor and happiness Of his friend and with the same
hypocritcal sentimenism proclaim a his honest con-
"etion, that Southern man who would 20 into con
venuon with a Black Republican deserves to be de
nounced as the enemy of the South aud traitor to his
section
Out upon such base hypocrisy! The organ of the
Democratic party, the Administration journal declares
in the language Of oracle that Stewards doctrine i
actually better than that of Douglas If better i, fol
lows a. matter Of course that those who are willing TO
shlaie with Seward guilty les heinous crime
than those who affiliate with Douglas We saw TO the
indignant Democrats who are so prompt to denounce
the Southern Opposition for an imaginary offence
Practice the virtue you preach abandon Douglas and
bis supporters and defenders before YOU revile the nat
ots OF the south for entertaining you say desire
TO form coalition with Seward who i. better than vour
confederate Douglas. your organ being the Judge
