LOOK OUT FOR SQUALLS.

If any reliance is to be placed in appar'
ent prcmonitlons, tho country must look
oat for squalls. The country is about To
be afflicted! AS the papers periodically
chronicle tho interesting condition OF
Queen Victoria's health, so do we an
nounoe that Seward is in labor of n
speech, The country is about to be
afflicted herewith Look ont for the
storm of cunning Blac'S Republicanism
which the great representative man OF
the North is about to rain upon the land.
His silence is ominous. 1t is the calm
before the storm. The star tiger of
Aboiiuonism crouehes in his seat in the
Senate chamber of the Union, of the
North and the South, and gathers his
energies for spring upon his foes. lie
msditstes in portentouS quiescence. He
shuifles the pack of Presidential cards
through his hands, and marks those TO
select and play in the great, final, win
pipg game. He glances at the count Of
slow, jack" which he Tailed in his Roch-
ester speech, making him six" The
game stands j" six and six, and his deal. "
He Eliminates some rare dodge by which
he can flop up jack" for he is good on
tho knave," and decide the game at once
in the Senate chamber without playing
1t out with risk OF loss.
He crorchcs in his chair and scratches
his long head, and reflects what new and
telling change he can ring on the "wool
question:" which has secured his fortunes
so far, and thereby gain State or two,
aRl win the Presidential chair right on
the floor of the Senate. The mountain
of sin is in labor, but he will be delivered
OF no mouse of wickedncss. The progeny
will be worthy of the parent The
speech Seward next delivers will be the
greatest of his efforts. The whole army
of Black Republicans await it in breath
less anticipation, and especially those OF
Illinois. They cling to the hope that it
will point the way for their release from
the clutches of the Little Giant" who
Expresses them with his irresistible force.
The Black Republican leaders, who have
traitorously cherished aspirations for the
nomination of their party, await the dis
charge of its great gun with almost hope
less foreboding. They know its caliber
and are quite convinced that one great
shot from it will annihilatc them in the
Chicago Convention of nomination.
Watch Seward. Keep your eye OF
the still, dark, reticent champion o
Abolitionism. He is loading himself witt
cunningly-deviscd charge to seattle
dismay among his enemies. He will "g,
off" soon, and full of fate will be tn
consequences. He is no wordy gabbler
but every word has its proper merit an,
is carefully put in its place with well
weighed purpose. The country wait
for Seward. When will he open hi
oracular lips and give forth = not nece'
sarily what he thinks, but what he deem
it polite to say? we will predict tn
tone and tenor of the portended spcecl
They will be such as not to offend hi
most ultra advocates or to arouse tn
wrath of his opponents. They will secur
old adhcrcnts and bid for new, and S
irresistibly that we fear they will seem
sufficient excuse for the northern mel
who are not rooted and grounded
conservative faith, to 90 over to his part
The artful dodger is at this momcr
meditating how to best attain the acn
of humbug. When will he develop?
