" irrepressible conflict" speech of Senator
Seward, which no later than the last sum-
mer, was copied IN ertenso and scattered
broadcast over the country as an election
eering document The Republican argues
that if the only fear to be entertained by
the circulation of these incendiary publica-
tions is the probable effect they might have
on the minds of the slaves, it mattered
very little whether they learned to be dis
satisfied from our own newspapers or those
of another State If the intelligence is
conveyed, and they get the idea, the harm
to them is just as great as though received
through the columns of the Tribune

learned at home, and l think it has perfect
ed my education upon this point; l have
learned that a man may support every meas
ure of a Democratic Administration. and

their sense in behalf of a country which
treats them SO badly.
