Gov. SEwARD's SPEEcH-The great speech Of
the session, thus far, IL that Of Mr.. Seward, in
the Senate, on Thursday. We give it in full this
moraing 1t il one of the most moderate con-
sentative, and adroit speeches evar made By the
distinguished New York Senator. He satisflcto-
rily explains his theory Of the irrepressiblc con-
fiiet," TO which his enemies have endeavored to
attach so terrible a meaning though without
making any direct reference to his Rochester
speech, or to the gross peryersions TO which it
has been subjected. He does not omit to speak,
in fittiug terms of the Harper's Ferry raid, yet
in no such language as to imply the slightest con-
seriousness of having anything to explain in that
regard, either for himself or for his party.
His exposition of Republican doctrines, and
his historical outline Of the controversies between
what he now terms the capital States Gin which
the la5orer is oaeeoD and the labor States lin
which tho man who works has free personality,)
are well worthy Of every thinking freeman's at
tcntion. He does not fail to fix the responsibility
OF the present agtations on the author Of the
reputation Of the Missouri Compromise, where it
belongs.
Mr.. Seward takes a sensible view Of the dis
union outcries now more furiously uttered than
ever before, and in quiet but telling vein, close
~ bordering upon sarcasm, yet without bitter
ness or Irritating denunciation, demonstrates not
only the idlencss Of such threats but the folly of
Northern trepidation at such nonsense. 1t is,
nevertheless. strongly Union speech, and ae-
counts for such compromising" compliances
heretofore, as the effect OF a strong attachment
to the Union in the fee States, and sensitive
dread of what Southern demagogues are always
SO ready to threaten.
If made with an eye to the Presidency, as will
Of course be charged this speech shows that Mr..
Seward rightly understands the conservative tq.-
denotes of the time, and instinctively discerns
that moderation and spirit opposed 10 ultraism
must be manifested by any man who would, at
this juncture, command the suffragcs Of ma
jority Of the people.
We confess that, to our mind, Mr.. Seward has
never OF late appeared to 50 good advantage as
on this occasion. He IL almost a At subject for
denunciation nominal" Republican, by
those in whose minds Republicanism is mixed
up with old Liberty creeds or the Buffalo plat
form. Yet, a. might be expected, he comes fully
up 70 the most approved standard, as recognized
BY sound Republicans fywhere.-IC Cincinnati

To HIS Excdlesscy Tie Governor Of Virginia
Saviour requisition Cor Barclay Coppoc,
alleged to be fugitive from Justice from the
State Of Virginia, was this day placed in my
hands BY Mr. Camp. Having carefully consider
ed the same am of opinion that cannot, In
the proper discharge Of my duty as Executive Of
this State, grant the rcquistion, because il does
not, in my opinion, come within the provisions
of the Constitution of the United States, and Of
the laws Of Congress, passed in pursuance there
Of The certificate Of the Notary Public, that
the paper purporting to be the affidavit Of An
drew Hunter, was sworn to- il not authenticated
by his Notarial Seal, and for that reason, il no
higher evidence of that fact. than would be the
statement Of any other citizen. Were this the
only difficulty, would as it is in its nature tech
meal, feel disposed to waive it In this case; but
there il further defect, which in my Judgment
is fatal, and which my duty will not allow me 70
overlook.
The law provides that the Executive authority
of State demanding any person as fugitive
from Justice, shall produce to the Executive
authority of the State on which the demand is
made the copy of an indictment found, Or an
affidavit made before Magistrate OF the State
by which the demand Is made. In this case,

and the afidsyik pdnced, is made before

must have been granted; and as it is, have not
any more authority to surrender the person

EXECUTIVE OFFICE, loWAI
Des Moines, January oath, 1860.
To HIS Erce2eaey Tie Governor Of Vigiaia
On yesterday, Mr.. Camp, of your State, pre-
scented to me requisition tor Barclay Coppoc,
which declined to grant, for reasons stated
in letter to you, which handed to him, (Mr.
Camp.)
have since examined more carefully the body
Of the affidavit of Andrew Hunter, and beg leave
to call your attention to it. Mr.. Hunter states
that from information received by him from GER
tain persons condemned and executed in your
State and from other facts which have come to
his knowledge, he believes that Coppoc was aid
ing and abetting John Brown and others, who on
certain days, in Virginia, committed certain
crimes, and that from information recently re-
ceived, he verify believes Coppoc is a fugitive
from justice, escaping in this State. It is not
stated, unless it be inferentially, that Coppoc
committed the acts charged, in the State of Nir-
gnia nor are any of the facts upon which the
afiant bases his belief of Coppoc's guilt stated.
1t seems to me very desirable that in case you
shall deem it your duty again to demand Coppoc
from the Executive authority Of this State that
no question may arise upon the sutficiency Of the
papers upon which the demand shall be made,
and have therefore deemed it proper TO make
to you the above suggestions.
