GREETINGS FOR SEWARD.

1t will be remembered that last winter,
when Seward made the conservative
speech in the Senate that lost him the
nomination at Chicago, all the simon pure
abolition journals denounced him for his
recreancy to those principles which he, in
common with themselves, had always pro-
fesscd Since his speech at Boston the
other day, however, in which he planted
himself fairly and squarely on tho ground
Of his ancient faith, and declared that
Lincoln was with him, they have all
united with one voice to welcome him
back. Here is what the Anti-Sarery
Standard the central organ of the aboli-
ton disunionists, says, in commenting
upon this speech:
"Tho medicine of defeat has evidently
had very salutary effect upon Senator
Seward. His backbone, that seemed for
time to he wavering under the pressure
Of political temptation, has acquired Its
former stiffness and strength, and his
voice, which lately mocked us with feeble
euphemisms, rings out again the old ap-
peal to the higher law and fresh sum
mons to the 'irrepressiblc conaibt.' We
will do him the justice to believe that he
now sees and laments the mistake he
made in his Senatorial speech, in discard
ing the form Of sound words that had
carried terror into the camp Of the slave
power, and couscnting, for once, in defer
ence to the pcrsussions of some Of his
political associates, to affect the attitude
and the language of false and hollow
conservatism. We are glad he has as
cended to his old position, bat we wish
he had the boldness to 60 up to still
higher platform, to repudiate every COM
promise with slavery, and to summon the
people Of the North to the formation OF
government free from compli icity with
its evils aud crimes" - .ffrI

seward as a wit and as a Philosopher.

Senator Seward, who at first was ter
, ribly mortified at the preference Of Lin
coin over himself, seems to have plucked
up some spirit, and has entered industri-
ously into the canvass. He seems to
have entered into competition with the
young Prince Of Wales. Indeed, he says
himself, that the loud acclamations and
bostcrous welcomes with which he is
everywhere received by the Republicans,
rival those with which the Prince of
Wales is greeted by the Canadians. No
doubt Mr.. Seward takes great pride in
this. His mentioning the matter sproof
that he has thought about it. Perhaps
he wants to show the Prince that he is Of
as much consequence in "the States as
the Prince is in the Colonies--and that
he can equal him in drawing out the en-
thusiastic clamors of the crowd. But
Mr. Seward is fast declining in the vale
of years, whilst the young Prince is at
the very witching age to take captive the
hearts Of the young - especially the
young ladies' Hearts that throb wildly
under the warm and royal glance of
young Albert Edward, do not even expe-
rience an emotion under the cold, Aboli-
ton glance Of the Black Republican
Senator.
Mr.. Seward has appeared in new
character All along lie has been play
ing mixed character of the grave Sena-
tor and the cunning intriguer, but lat.
terly he has become facetious and sportive.
His speeches at railroad depots and from
hotel balconies, when the great un-
washed" turn out to welcome the great
overslaughed, are master pieces Of laugh
ing deviltry and diabolicsl mirth. Nero
fiddled while Rome was burning. Sew
ard beats Nero. He is facetious while
Lincoln ascends the ladder which he him
self constructed, and by means OF which
he expected to climb to the Presidency.
But Stewards mirth is nervous He is
hysterical, and to tell the truth he has
gone through enough to give any man
the Mysteries. He pretends that he IS
pleased. He aint pleased-not a bit of
it. He is jealous Of Lincoln, mad with
Greeley, and offended with his ungrateful
party. We do not doubt that, if he could
be seen IN his privacy. he would appear as
grim as Marius amid the ruins of Car
thage, or Napoleon in the retirement of
St. Helena. But still he has to work for
his party, and he declares that Lincoln
is man after his own heart. Hml a
1t would puzzle any man to fathom
Stewards designs. Some say that he is
working to reduce Lincoln's vote. But
onr opinion is that he is working for the
Premiership or the mission to the Court
of St. James, in the event of Black Re-
publican success. BY the way, the set
speech of Mr. Seward, at Detroit, is as
flat, dull, lifeless production as we re-
member ever to have seen. 1t resembles
more an elaborate essay than spontane-
Gus popular oration. He played the wag
in his reception speech, the philosopher
in his more studied address.--PeaasyI-

WHAT MR.. DOUGLAS SAID.

The black republicans are laboring as
siduously to make some capital out of the
declaration once made by Mr.. Douglas
that he did not care whether slavery was
voted down or voted up in Kansas but It
proves to be uphill work. 1t is true
that he used language similar to this in
one of his speeches against the Lecomp-
ton bill upon the floor Of the senate, but
the context puts 80 different construc'
tion upon its meaning from that in which
it is used by the black republicans that
the attempt to use it against him rather
operates against themselves In his re-
mark Mr.. Douglas did not mean to cx-
press indifference to slavery, for any such
meaning would be directly contrary to
the assertion he has so often made that
as a citizen Of the State Of Illinois lie
was decidedly opposed to slavery, and
would vote aud act against its introduce
ton into the State. But what he did
mean was this, that SO far as the voting
OF slavery up or down in Kansas was con
cerned, it made no difference SO far as it
related to his argument against the Le-
compton constitution. He was indiffer-
ent as to whether slavery was voted up
or voted down 40 far as his action with
that particular instrument was concerned.
But this will be best seen and understood
by quoting in full the paragraph in which
the remark occurs:
"But / am told on all sides, '0h, just
wait; the pro-savery clause will he voted
downs That does not obviate any of my
objections; it does not diminish any of
them. You have no more right to force
free State constitution on Kansas than
a slave State constitution. If Kansas
wants slave State constitution, she has
a right to it, IT Is none of my business
sohich ,ody the slarery clause IS decided, I
care not rhetter IL IS roted dozen or roteaup.
Do you suppose, after the pledge OF my
honor that would go for that principle
(the right of the people to vote as they
choose), that | would now degrade my
self by voting one way if the slavery
clause be voted down, and another way
if it be voted up? / care not how that
vote may stand" so. .........
Can any black republican be found
who will gainsay this or deny its truth?
1t takes the broad ground that no bad
thing should be forced upon people
against their wishes, nor should any good
thing when they expressly declare they
do not want it. Voting slavery up or
voting it down would not obviate his OBJ
iections to that constitution, and it was
in this sense that the remark was made.
He expressed in strong language the i'm
materialty of that fact as bearing upon
his objections to the constitution, and the
manner of its adoption.

The Ordinance of 1857.

The great precedent which tho re.
publicans set up in favor of their claim
that it is the right and dutyof Congress
to exclude slavery from the Territories,
is the Ordinance Of 1877 = enacted pre-
vious to the adoption of the Constitution.
They entirely overlook the fact that the
Congress of the Confederacy possessed
altogether different powers from those of
the present Congress-. 1t had only such
powers as the State chose to give it, and
the Ordinance derived it's validity from
the assent of the individual States
That Congress did not prohibit slavery
in Kentucky Territory, nor abolish the
slave trade, for the reason that it had
been authorized to exercise no such
powers.
When the first Congress met under
the Constitution in 1889, they passed AN
act confirming the Ordinance of 'S7,
and why? For the reason that they
were bound to do so by that clause Of
the Constitution which says that oil en-.
gagements entered into by the Congress
of the Confederation, previous to the
adoption of the Constitution, shall be az
valid against the United States, under
the Confederation. The same Congress,
at IT'S next session, took charge Of tho
District of Columbia, and the Tennessee
Territory, but said nothing of prohibi.
tion 4ii
The right was never granted to Con-
gress by the Constitution to legislatate
upon the domestic affairs of the people
of the Territories, and any attempts to.
do this is an assumption of power and
prerogative which belongs to the people.
So our "fathers" thonght, and Mr.. Madi-
son, himself, who had more to do than
any other man with the framing of tho
Constitution, declared that the prohibi-
tion Of Slavery by Congress IN 1920,
from territory north Of 36 .. 30 min,
was without shadow of Constitutional
guarantee. ta BE 'H
And yet, the Republicans say they
intend to restore the government back

That Awful Dres scott Decision.

The republicans are very fond of lying
about the Dred Scott case, and of saying
that the court decided against popular
sovereignty in the territories. They
know they misreprescnt when they say it,
because they know the question was not
before the court at all, and consequently
was not decided. But Chief Justice
Taney did say that "7S the people who
are settling in territory should be com
mtted the po~eys Of seJfgorernment, as be
ing more competent to determine what was
best for their interests" And he says
further-"'There is certainly no po,oer
given by tho Constitution to the Federal
Government to establish colonies to be
ruled by its own pleasure" And further
he adds that territory cannot be acquired
''to be governed by Congress with abso-
lutte authority" Why don't the republi.
cans publish tho Dred Scott case as it is:
We know they insist that Congress has
sorrrs,gn power over the territories, the
same as the Tories of the revolution in.
SISTED that Parliament possessed that
power; and because Chief Justice Taney
expresses the opinion that Congress doe,
not possess sbsol'ds power they are dowr
on him. u ....
