Mr.. Stewards Irrepressible Conflict.

4nls AIICpISssIuhC
Ey- Ever since Senator SEwARD's
Rochester speech, the whole Democratic
press of the country have been trying to
make it apparent that he and the Repub-
lican party have declared an open war of
abolition, and were seeking, in defiance
of the Constitution, to interfere in the
domestic affairs Of the States. In order
to give plausibillty to their assertion,
they put words in Mr.. SEwARD's mouth
that he never uttered, and declare that
he had asserted an irrepressible conflict
between the free and the slave States, or
between the North and the South-there-
by distinctly avowing a purpose of for
chilly emancipating the slaves Of the
South. Mr.. SEwARD's language was,
that there is can irrepressibie conflict
between Freedom and Slavery" not be-
tween the North and the South. That
this is a sound, logical doctrine, no intel
ligent mind will refuse to admit. There
is an undying hostility between right
principles and wrong--an unceasing strife
between virtue and vice-an irrepressible
conflict between justice and Injustice
Good and evil, in their manifold aspects.
must war one with the other so long as
they both exist. Freedom and Slavery
are Of necessity antagonistic, and SO long
as both exist. in the same country, the
same hemisphere, or the same world,
they will not be at peace. No treaties,
no compromises, no carefully prepared
arrangements, can overcome their antag-
onism, and cause their elements TO com
bine. You cannot compromise Right
and Wrong-they must war until the
evil is crushed out. So must the contest
between Freedom and Slavery go for
ward until the latter is annihilated, and
man secured in his natural rights.
This was Senator Stewards meaning,
this his doctrine. He expected, he in
vited, no conflict between the North and
the South, such as Democrats charge
him with foreshadowing and encourage
ing. He was particular to guard against
misapprehension, and clearly stated that
though he expected Freedom to become
universal in this land, he yet did not
wish, and did not expect, that il would
be done otherwise than peacefully and
lawfully. Here is what he says on this
point, and our readers can see that he
foresaw, and was particular to guard
against, the present distortion of his
views by his political opponents
1t remains to say on this point only
one word TO guard against misapprehen-
sion. Ii these States are again to be-
come universally slayeholding, do not
pretend to say with what violations Of the
Constitution that end shall be accomp
lished. On the other hand. while | do
confidently believe and hope my country
will yet become a land Of universal free
dom, | do not expect that it will be made
so otherwise than through the action OF
the several States cooperating with the
Federal Government, and all acting in
strict conformity with their respective
Constitutions"

REF The Richmond Enquirer, one of
the oldest and most influential Democrat
ic journals in the country, denounces
the doctrine of on.intervention, with
which the Democratic leaders at the
North have aud still hope to blindfold
the people, and comes out boldly in favor
of congressional intervention for the pro-
lection Of slavery. The want of a prop
err enforcement Of the fugitive slave law,
it SAYS, has liberated to all intents and
purposes, the slaves of the northern
counties of Virginia. where negroes are
now slaves only by their W sufferance
They can at any moment tip their hats,
bid adieu to their masters. and decamp
to Pennsylvania. This is a dreadful state
of affairs, in the Enquirer's eyes, and
unless remedied, must end in disunion
in a disruption of the confederacy.-
The Enquirer says:
Non intervention has practically hber.
dted tie Slaves OF n entire tier Of coun
ties in Virginia. Non-intervention has
already given just cause for dissolution,
and unless speedily abandoned by the
National Government, and the Constitu-
tional obligation Of Intervention for pro-
lection be adopted, there will assemble
no more National Conventions of the
Democracy, and the day Of disunion will
J speedily dawn. The conservative Union
men throughout the South are daily Civ
ing way before the just cry for some GER
tain and sure remedy against the de-
structive policy of Neutrality-suspicious."

his place. Judge WILSON was either
not 50 sanguine as Judge MASON, or he
was less particular about putting his cor

proposed to resign his present position.
