II. SetOard's speech at Det'oit, September 4th,
1860. ..s
We have taken from the speech Of Hon. w.
! II. Seward the above extract, and propose to
show in connection Herewith, by figures, the
injury he would accomplish if his nfatuation Is
crowned with success. IF the people of the
North ever had an enemy that would bring
them completely to ruin, he could not be more
successful than by adopting the policy of VIM.
H. Seward. The madness or the folly which
now pervades large portion of the Northern
mind, stimulated as it is by such men as Sc
ward, Sumner, Greeley, and host Of others,
by appealing to the strongest prejudices and
the worst passions Of human nature, is fast pre-
cipitating this country in revolution. In spir-
it of calmness perfectly free from partiality for
the one section or prejudice against the other,
we purpose to find out the material interest
that will be effected by his continual warfare

foreign countries, one thing is certain--in which
all will agree-without something to export we
shall be in a very bad condition to import. -
It is therefore, only necessary to exhibit our
exports to show our condition as to our foreign
trade, so far as we may be able to purchase
Whenever the country exports largely of her
own productions, she is fully able to supply the
wants and the luxuriries other people, and that
section that furnishes most Of her exports adds
greatly to the wealth of all sections. We dc
not, by the comparison we are going TO institute
intend to reflect on the industrial interests o
any section, but we wish to exhibit the fact
that the North will suffer much more than the
Sonth, in all the material interests which bring
comfort and wealth if those who now seem to
control her destiny succeed in their efforts.
