TIE SEWARD DOCTRINE
Extract from Serarcrs Rochester Speech.
WE MUST HAVE \ CONFLICT WITH THE SOUTH.


" 1t is an irrepressibe conflict be-
tween opposing and enduring forces, and it means
that the United States must and WILL sooner or la
ter, become either entirely slave nation or entirely
a free labor nation. Either the cotton or rice-feds
of South Carolina, and the sugar plantations of
Louisiana, will ultimately be titled by free labor,
and Charleston and New Orleans become marts for
legitimate merchandise alone or else the rye-fieds
and wheat-fields of Massachusetts, and New York
must again be surrendered by their farmers to slave
culture and to the production of slaves and Boston
aud New York become once more markets for trade
in the bodies and souls of 1t is the failure to
apprehend this great truth that induces so many
unsuccessful attempts at final compromise between
the slave and free States and it is the existence of
this great fact that renders such pretended compro-
misses, when made, vain and ephemeral Startling
as this saying may be to you, fellow citizens, it is
by no means an original one"
AGGRESSION" Is THE WORD
From Se,oarGs Ohio Speech
1t slavery can and must be abol-
ished, and you and | must do it. Correct
your own error that slavery has constitutional
guarantees which may not be released, and ought
not to be relinquished You will soon bring

sion upon slavery"

Po.toffice matters.

WASHINGTON September 27.-By special report to
the United States Senate the 9Th Of May last the
POstmaster-G General recommended IN reference 10 a
resolution of that body Improvements IN the details
of the Dead Letter office, which were tayorably re-
ceived by the Committee on the Postoflce OF both
Houses ofCongress.
Among other things. il was urged not only that
letters containing money other valuable encio-
suTes, but many others of moment should be rcstOr-
ed 10 tiers, when they failed to reach their cor
respondents from sundry causes, and bl express
ing the views Of the Committee, making provision
accordingly, and authorizing a charge ofpostage on
all returned letters, for want Of time, failed to be-
come law
Since the adjournment of Congress letters have
been restored, far the limited force would al
low, without reference TO those containing enclo-
sures, and the results have been highly satisfactory
Particular attention has been given to letters re
turned TO the department for the want of prepay
ment OF postage. Many were addressed to foreign
countries.
Instructions have also been given to postmasters
requiring letters not properly directed and those
without any directions To be returned TO the dead
letter office and many such daily received open
ed and returned without delay to the inadvertent
writers.
An important change has also been made in the in
structons concerning letters from foreign countries
which have heretofore been detained in post-ofices
but one month after having been advertised. They
are now TO be detained three months the better to
insure delivery, and TO reduce the number OF dead
letters Of thus description.
Anew reports have been received, showing the
return OF letters from p0stOfices not through the
department, but by authority OF the law Of the last
session, proNldltg for such returns Ia where
the writers give their name in writing as an en-
dOrsement, together with their residences on the
letters specifying the time during which they shall
be held for delivery, before their return To the re-
spective writers thereof

EDITORS UNION AND AMERICAN Yesterday was in
deed proud day for the Democracy of Lawrence
From early in the morning until shutdown, crowds
of ladies and gentlemen came pouring into Henry
vile from every direction. They are Democrats
coming to serenade our gallant young county Eector
Col Thomas H: PAINE The crowd, numbering eight
hundred or a thousand, just at nightfall formed in
the principal street of Henryvile and marched up
in front of Capt WM. A. STEPHENsoNs tavern, where
they were Joined by about one hundred ladies. The
band struck up national air and the Procession
moved on to the residence Of D. c. WILLIAMS where
the ward had been illuminated and seats prepared
for the occasion Silence being restored Col PAYNE
was introduced to the audience and said he felt deep

Of these United States. They are men who have
served their country on the battle field and in the
councils Of the nation and they come before the
people with record as pure and unsullied as the
Constitution itself" But will not attempt to fol-
low Col PAINE through his mastery speech, suffice
it to say, that for more than hour he held this
vast crowd enchanted by his matchless eloqucnce
When Col PAINE had concluded the procession
marched back to Henryyille, where j. j. PENSING-
TON, JACoB NJ. PENNINGTON and RoRT kennedy made
short but telling speeches. Isaac D. PENNINGTON, a
BELL man, was then called out, who appeared.

coursed eloquently on the Union, but as it was

discussion Of the political question of the day
Right here let me remark that the BELL men de-
ported themselves IN manner highly satisfactory

AbOIitiOnists Among Us--sOut-CrOppingH
of the Greeley Doctrine.

The quiet Of our city was disturbed on Sunday
morning last by the report that some aboliiOnists
had made the attempt abduCt some three slaves
in the employ of and belonging to Messrs. Whalin
Vameter. They underwent preliminary cXami-
nation before an examining court, and it was shown
that the accused, J. II. McLamaster and wife, had
attempted to entce away said negroes That the
negro woman belonging to Samuel Whalin diyulged
the plot to her master informing him when and
where the next meeting would be, and what ar
rangement it would be necessary to make to aC-
complish their designs. Whereupon several gentle
men of high responsibility and known vcracity, con-
cealed themselves near the place of meeting. The
whole conversation was heard, In which 1t was
agreed that McLamaster should as speedily posi-
bic get them to Ohio to accomplish which the ne
oes were to steal various articles Of clothing Jew
elry &C. and If necessary, while on the way. one Of
the negroes was TO have been sold and stolen back
again. The case having been fully made out, they
were both committed to jail in default OF bail to
await their final trial at the February term Of our

Organize, Organize!

We cannot too frequently earnestly urge upon
upon the Democracy the importance of thorough
organisation immediately with the view to call out
the entire strength of ticket in the approaching
election. There has never been an election in Ten
nessee which was destined to exert important an
influence upon its future destiny. There has surely
never been one when the Democracy has higher and
nobler and stronger incentives to action. But we
must organize thoroughly, if we wish to accomplish
the great work before If we organize and bring
out the full strength of the party success is certain
If we fail to organize, may be ingloriously beat
en- by our own inactiOn. Let US then, organize and
work from now until the election, in every county,
district and neighborhood in the State. We have
but one month remaining of the canvass. In that
month we may win Tennessee. 1t is for the De-
mocracy to determine what they viii do.
