Stewards speech.
From the Boston Post. March !

run iho boctoh iVSil N'iNh v
It's defensive speech. The waning
fortunes of the republican party only
could have elected from its lawgiver an
elaborate defence of its position before
the country. The main purpose of this
labored effort seems to be the utterly inn
possible work of showing that tho re-
publican party, which is based ON hostli
ty to an institution which the constitu-
ton is bound to protect, is "the only
party that defends the integrity Of that
Union" that was formed to insure dom
este tranquility! To state fully this
position is to refute this speech.
Here Seward, who has made speech
upon speech to show that by law of
necessity, there is going on an SIRE
prossibe conflict" between the North
and the South, wherein one must con-
quer, and whose whole past political
life has been an effort to bring the North
into a state of aggression on slavery, al
fects to be filled with sorrow and even
shame that thirty millions of people can
not enjoy the benefit of their institutions
with contentment and harmony Here
the statesman who has heretofore pro-
claimed that there were written things
in the Federal constitution that were
contrary to the Divine law, and who has,
because of this, again and again counsel
ed an uprising to expunge these pro
visions, now comes out with the eulogy,
that the trainers of the constitution had
"wislom that surpassed all previous
understanding among men!" Doubtless
if anybody can relieve the republican
party from the odium that is settling
upon it, it is Seward; but the good sense
and intelligence of the American people
must pronounce this effort to be as un
conclusive and lame as the "impromptr
speeches" were startling, bold and bloody

LETTER FROM GOVERNOR WIsNER. -
We publish in another column letter
from Gov WIsNER on the subject of the
Sault Ste Marie Canal loan, sent to the
Detroit AdcertiSer. In so far as that let
ter relates the history of the transaction,
to the delivery of the bonds to the State
Treasurer and his return from New York,
after disposing of them, it may be well
enough, although we very much doubt
the policy or propricty of such voluntary
executive exposures; but we can neither
endorse the logic nor conclusions of the
Governor, in regard to the Treasurcr's
motives or character. The facts, cir
cumstances and surroundings of the $50
600 transaction are in our opinion all
against any such charitable view; they
admit of no palliation or excuse; and the
attempt to thus whitcwash the transac,
ton rather aggravates than relieves 1t OF
just public odium.-DetroH Tribune.

publican. Yesterday Marshall, which has
heretofore been black republican, swung
into the democratic ranks by hundred
majority. Battle Greek is one of the
strongholds of black republicanism in the

only fifty-six majority. And SO the ball

CHARITABLE SOCIETIES. - 1t was Hon.
Joshua II. Giddings, we believe, who, in
his testimony before the Senate Com
mittee in the Harper's Ferry invcstiga-
ton, stated that he sent one Of the
Browns to some point on the Ohio, where
a charitable society existed for liberating
slaves, believing that such an organiza-
ton, having common purposes with
Brown, would perhaps aid him with funds
Thus we have Mr.. Gildings' definition of
a Charitable Society. Charity, accord
ing to his understanding of the term,
consists in stealing, in robbing the peo-
pie Of another State of their property, in
in depiiving them of their legal rights,
and disturbing their domestic harmony
and peace. This is slightly different
from Webster, who defines charity to
mean Glove, bencvolcnce and good will;
that disposition of heart which inclines
men to think favorably of their fellow
men, and to do them good. Candor
libcrality in Judging of men and their
actions" &C., &c.
There is marked difference between
charlty according 10 ulddings, anu crall

fellow Republicans, in Congress and out
have equally accurate information oil
such topics. In law there is but shadow
Of difference between a thief and on
