In October 1855 we ind Mr.. Seward, then
confessed by all as the leader and master spirit
Of the Republicans, laying down, in his Rocbes-
ter speech, their manifesto Of future operations:
1t contempIates no peace with the South, no
cessation Of the sectional strife, nothing but en-
during hostility to southern institutions He

Thus these antagonistic systems are contia-
uolly comiug into closer contact, and collision
results, Shall tell you what this collision
meansf They who think it is accidental, un-
necessary, the work Of interested or fanaticai
agltators, and therefore ephemeral, mistake the
case altogether. IT IS AN tRREpREss1Bt,r CON-

cEs and it means that the United States will
sooner or later, become entirely slaveholltng ma
ton or entirely a, free labor nation Either the
cotton and rice fields Of South Carolina, and
the sugar plantations of Louisiana, will ulti-
matelv be tiled by free labor, and Charleston
and New Orleans become marts Tor legitimate
merchandise alone, or else the rye fields and
and wheat fields Of Massachusetts and New
York must again be surrendered by their ar
mers to slave culture, and to the production OF
slaves, and Boston and New York become once
more market for trade in The bodies and souls
OF men. 1t is the failire to apprehend this
great truth that induces so many unsuccessful
attempts at final compromise between the slave
and free States. and it the existence Of this great
'act that renders all such pretended cotnproa
mise, when made, vain and epherneral.'' s-sg
p, The whole country was startled and disgust
cd at this brutal and bloody manifesto. Con-
servatve men at the North stood aghast at tho
idea OF an tinendng strife between the North
and the South, They held that it was not ne
cessary for either section to force its system ups
on the other, and they knew that. to attempt

doctrine Of Stewards, however, was hot new

1t will be seen that Mr.. Seward has merely
worked up Lincoln's ideas into somewhat bet
ter phraseoIosy, and that for the sentiments of
sectional hate and antaeon onism involved they
are equally responsible before God and man,
Letno conservative or thoughtful man imagine
that Seward was discarded because ofhis ultra
ism, when we find Lincoln on precisely the !,
same ground. s.snayfH us0J

Everything is lost that 6ah be lost, except
the enjoyment Of freedom and the exclusion of
slavery within the free States. Slavery remainsa
apparently stronger than ever in all the slave
States, and freedom OF speech, freedom Of the

! After the seeds of hate to the South had
thus been planted in the minds Of the Ignorant
and fanatical by the Republican leaders, it was
not surprising that one who had been. almos
idolized by the Republican party for his mid !

cold blood in Kansas should essay to oarrya
out these teachings Of an "irrepressible con !.
0ict," by stirring UP a servile insurrection in
Virginia. THIS bloody work was begun by John
Brown, at Harper's Ferry, with band or Re-
publcans, black and white, aided by arms and
money supplied By their political friends, on Sun
day night, the 10th Of October, 1859. Ths
time was fitly chosen by party which clam

unolfending white citizens were murdered id
the sight Of their families by these Republican
wretches, fresh from Kansas and covered with
plondits for like deeds there. The country is
amiliar with the facts, aud will not soon forget
