 and which hoists the name of A. H. Stephens at it's mast head for President, devotes leader <, to. Senator Seward Considering the source from which it eminates. it is not so bad Praise from Sir Hubert is praise indeed" { P. fsThe great arch agitator, Wm. H. Seward has just returned to this country, from an eight ' months tour in Europe and Asia. From the time he landed in New York until he reached his home in Auburn he was feasted, toasted and cafessed with an adulation surpassinp anvthino which has occurred for years. His homeward ;course was as the triumphal march of yictori ous General At New York, Albany. Utica Rome, Syracuse and Auburn, he was met by !. tens and hundreds of thousands. Bells were ,Epng, buildings were decorated salutes were fired, speeches were made, and an ovation of which a monarch would have felt proud, was given to the Black; Republican Senator.
 Why all this enthusiasm? Why this immense out-pouring of the North to do honor to great Abolition agitator? We answer, because the political sentiments of MT. Seward harmonize with that of the great mass of Northern senti- ment. MT. Seward is great political leader. Unlike gale and Chase and Wilson and Trum- | follow in the wake of popular sentiment, Seward leads. He stands head and shoulders above them all. He marshals his forces and directs the way. The abolition hosts follow. However we may differ from Wm. H. Seward we concede to him honesty of purpose, and the highest order of talent He takes no half way grounds. He does nothing by halves. Bold, fearless, talented and possessed of all the requisites of great po- itical leader, turning neither to the right nor to the left. Gifted with a selfpossession pos- - sessed by few men, he listens to the assaults of . his enemies with the most perfect nonchalance, and receives the warm greetings of his friends greatest and most dangerous man in the govern ment "'
 Every step of his political life has been mark cd by success He feels his way cautiously, but when satisfied that his position is tenable, and that he is on safe ground, he leaps forth some intellectual giant, startes the world by the bold ness of his sentiments, and carries all before him by the tremendous force of his arguments
 Starting in life Whig, he rose from an hum- ble position, and worked his way through the avenues of legislation, up to the Chief Magis- tracy of the great State of New York over coming obstacles before which any other man Quincy Adams, and the follower in his footsteps he caught the falling mantle of the great defen- der of abolition principles, none other being more worthy than he.
 For eighteen years he had stood forth in the Senate of the United States, the great Champi- on of Freedom, and the stern opposer of slave ". He has fought us at every step, disputed every inch of ground, until at last he proclaims in the face of an assembled Senate, and in the language of proud and naughty victor, |" the battle is fought, the victory is won Freedom is triumphant" Not satisfied with thls iubilant preclamaton, he coolly lays down his plan for the complete subjugation of the South. The Supreme Court must be remodeled, and placed permanently on the side of Freedom. An ir- fepressible conflict" exists between Freedom and Slavery and the latter being crime against hu- manity, must be wiped out. The Constitution, the bond entered into by our fathers, the instru- ment which guarantees to each and every mem- Der of the Confectionery their vested rights, must be swept away. There is Higher Law than the Constitution"
