FURTHER EXPOUNDINGS OF BLACK
REPr BL'CANISM BY SEWAID -
WAR On SLAVERY IN TIE STATES,
Senator Seward, in his late speech AZ
Lansing, Michigan, throws Off all dis
guisc aud proclaims that the true issue
sustained Ivy the Black ..Rcpnbiican
party is the destruction Of slavery IN
every State in the Union.
IIQrc is the issue stated by VIM, IL.
Seward:
at has always been my policy to
take carc that every new State should
be II free State, and / wW tac0r as Tong
as Tenn, witAM the limits u constitutions
n dciioa, the dccredSc and NmMution 0,
african Slarery in all the StateS."' This
is the whole question.
What is this constitutional action
by which it is proposed to carry out
! the "dccrccs and diminutlon Of African
slavery in all the States" Mr.. Scwarc
shows it very plainly. lie points tc
thchandfll ofmadmcn, with Il few pixies
and spears, carrying "thc oldest, the
~proudcst, and n Of the greatest load
ing federal States in the Union" TO the
vrrg, Of scrvilc war; to the excitement
IN Kentucky and Tennessee caused BY
u few abolitionists; and the inccndiary
teachings and murdcrous prompting,
now going on among the slaves in Tex
as, which he charactcrizcs by the milo
appcllation Of slavery being brought
into debate among portion OF her cit
%izons." Here he paints how much may
be done by a few citizens ifnot interior
ed with. But, says Mr.. Seward, The
army and navy Of the United States ar
brought, unconstitutionally, to bca,
AGAINST them. What do we maintair
this army aud navy for asks Mr.. Sew
ard; and here is his answer in his own
words. Let every citizen read them
and pointer:
.In order that slaves may not escape
from the slave States into the free, and
that free and cmancipatcd negroes IN
the free States may not enter and m
troJucc civil war into the slave States,
AMI because that, if We provoke u fer
cign enemy, the Southern front er is
exposed to invasion from England,
France and Strain. That is the whole
object Of our army aud navy.
Entertaining these views, he declares
that the first Constitutional act whisl
should be performed to diminish slave
nv in all the Southern States, and thai
it is his duty AS II patriot IS to dt
away with the army and navy Of tho
United States, in order that it shall not
prevent freed slaves from introducing
civil war into the slave States, OF re
sist invasion from England, France Oh
Spain, on the southern frontier. This
is the Hartford Convention doctrine O
lhc Massachusetts school, it is treason
Of the blacklist dye; it is thoroughSo
inc, opcnfaced, Black Rcpcblicanism.-
This is what Mr.. Seward says, OAl
SINGLE ADMINISTRATION Will!
