THE NEW YORK HERALD AND VIM
H. SEWARD

H. SEWARD
The New York Herald serves up col
umn or SO daily upon VIM. III. Seward. II
is the cue Of that journal to endeavor to
accomplish, by its own peculiar means
what it fails in by facts and arguments, OF
rather where facts and arguments do not
appear. We think it often fails in its at
tempts, but its purpose is ever the same
When it is its purpose to pursue an indi.
vidual (for it seldom has themes, and never
principles, to advocate) it assumes the at.
titude of ferocious bulldog, who always
and forever Jugs with the same set of teeth,
and snqhs up the blood of his victim with
the same ugly nose Nor does it let go its
hold till it is beaten off with a huge blud-
geon, or coaxed or bought off with what
will procure many rounds of fresh
beef and plumb-pudding. Itpursueth and
luggeth the honorable Senator from New
York in this fashion,
"W. III. Seward and Black Republican
ism;% igger-worshippers;;" "W. H. Sew
ard, the Rochester rum-seller;' "W. H..
Seward, the nigger-worshippers' candidate
for the Presidency" "the bloody and trea-
sonable doctrines of W. H. Seward" "W.
H. Stewards Auburn Speech" "the Roch-
ester manifesto of w. H. Seward; :" "the
damnable doctrines of w. III. Seward; !"
"the dangerous doctrines Of w. III. Sew
ard; "the reasonable doctrines of VIM.
II. Seward" "nigger-wOrshippers;" "slave-
ry and the slave-trade;" "our Southern
brethren are in danger-a division of the
Union must take place if the reasonable
designs of VIM. II. Seward are allowed to
PREVAIL" "the South is in danger" "our
Southern brethren are made angry because
w. H. Seward was allowed to make that
Rochester Speech" CIV. III. Stewards
bloody doctrines;" "war on the South"
"W. II. Seward" "the south; slavery"
"the slave-trade;" ringers ought to be
slaves" "free niggers;" "niggers in the
South" "niggers in the North" "niggers
in general" "bloody," REASONABLE" dan
gerous," horrible" Infamous" william
ous," Southern brethren" "the Presiden-
Cyl" nomination"
Such, and such only, are the snaps and
snarls, the gruffs and growls, the screeches
and bowls, the various changes, the first
and the last, the beginning and the end,
the sum and substance of the rigmarole the
Herald" puts forth day after day and
month after month about W. III. Seward,
because, forsooth, it feels a private convic-
ton that he is at present the most promi-
nent and the strongest man in the Repub-
lican ranks for the Presidency. And if it
is with such miserable, fiimsy, trashy
stuff it hopes to Brighten the Republican
Party into the act of throwing Seward over
board; or, should they nominate him, it is
with such twaddle, such repetition of vul-
gar common-places, it confidently hopes to
break him down. But if, with such, tissue
ceeds, or produces the least influence bey-
ond its own admirers, we much mistake
eitherthe capacity, the intelligence, or the
independence of the public mind 1t is at
present no especial affair of ours. We only
note the fact to indicate the tone of the po
litical mind of the country.

CLEVELAND, TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER A. 1859.

A GREAT SPECULATION. The New York Her
aid looks upon the present. Chinese difficulties
as likely 20 eventuaie in gigasilc commercial
speculation. The msgifcent Eaaic anticipated
- that powerful army frDm Englsnd aud
France will conquer peace" ia China, 70.
quiring "a large indemnifcation, which will res
tore TO Europe a great amount Of silver which
has been shipped TO China. Doring the last nine
years $3.50 100000 OF gold have been shipped
from Austrslia, aud 300,000,0 900 from Cllifor.
MIA. Nearly the whole Ct this immense sum
has gone 10 Continental Europe, where il has
taken the place Of silver in general circulation
1t is probable that not less than s450,0 900 Of
silver have been thus liberated and sent to China
and India within the patt ten years. TO pay for
teas, silks, spices and other Asiate products.-
Ia the present condition Of trade there seems
very little prospect Of getting this silver out of
Asia and into commercial circulation again by
any ordinary process 1he British are forcing
their manufactured goods upon India as fast as
they can--with very triding success thus lar--
We are steadily Increasing our shipments Of
domestic goods, hardware, &C., de- TO China;
hut the amount thus far is 80 uncomfortable,
aud the consumption Of tea ahd silk increases
so rapidly, with the increase OF population and
prosperity that the balance OF goods always re.
mains heavily in favor of China, and keeps up
the drain of silver thitherward Il is possible
that this war may in some measure correct the
anomaly. lfthe Chinese were made to pay the
expenses of the war and an indemnity, the whole
in siver--say $3.50, ,0OO, ,000-the money mark,
cts Of the commercial nations would be essen
italy relieved; and if an entry were oace secur-
ed to the interior towns Of China, it stands to
reason that a market would be found for scme
European and American products which would
be good substitute for silver.
