SENATOR SEwARDS SPEECH AT
LINCDLN'S HOME.

AT Springfield on the lst inst, though but
a brie! notice was given that Gov. Seward
was on the train, large concourse was at the
depot.
In obedience to the call of the people, Mr.
Seward appeared on the platform of the car,
and after aluding to his tour in Kansas, said
am to express, on behalf of the party
with whom am travelling our gratitude and
acknowledgment for this kind and generous
reception at the home OF your distinguished
fellow citizen, our excellent and honored can
didate for the Chief Magstracy of the United
States, (Cheers) If there is in any part of
the country deeper interest felt in his cleo
ton than there is any other part, it must of
course be here, where he has lived life of
usefulness, where he is surrounded by the
companions Of his labor and his public seryi-
ceS.
We are happy to report TO you that al
though we have travelled over n large pnrt

him more faithfully than any other State can
do. That is the way she did with John
Quincy Adams That is the way she sus-
tanned Gen. Taylor That is the way she
will sustain Mr.. Lincoln. Loud cheers.)
Upon concluding, Mr.. Lincoln, who was
present, pressed forward and shook Governor
Seward most cordially by the hand, and in
troduced others, and the train then departed
amid enthusiastic cheering.

Pot calls Kettle Black.

The Philadelphia Press, in an article char
ging the Breckinridgites with purposes of
Disunion, says:
"Stephen helped Cobb to break the back Of
the Disunion monster in Georgia, in | $50, and
although Cobb has since deserted to the ene-
my, he will with Johnson's aid entirely destroy
it in 1860"
But where was H. V. Johnson, when these
things took place in 1850? He was hard at
work for the "Disunion Monster ;" and did
all he could to defeat Cobb and the Union
ticket. He was with Gaulden and the other
fire-eating Disunionists of Georgia, writing
letters declaring that the fright of Secession
must be maintainedE' Now he plays second
fiddle to Douglas, and, of course, is a pure
patriot!

MODERN DEMOCRACY.

The South now maintains that Slavery is
right, natural, and necessary, and does not
depend upon difference Of complexion. The
laws of the Slave States justify the holding

GOLD ABE ON SNAKES.

The following is one of Lincoln's llustra-
tons in speech delivered two years ago.
Speaking of the rights and wrongs of slavery,
he said
"The other policy is one that squares with
the idea that slavery is wrong, and it consists
iu doing everything that we ought to do if it
is wrong. Now | don't wish to be misunder-
stood, nor to leave a gap down to be misrep-
resented even. don't say that we ought to
attack it where it exists. To me it seems that
if we were to form government anew, in
view of the actual presence Of slavery, we
should find it necessary to frame just such a
government as our fathers did, giving to the
STAKEHOLDER the entire control where the sys-
tenn is established, while we possessed the
power to restrain it from going outside those
limits. Applause From the necessities Of
the case we should be compelled to form just
such a government as our blessed fathers
gave us and surely, if they have SO made it,,
that adds another reason why we should let
slavery alone where it exists.
"If saw a venomous snake crawling in
the road, any man would say | might seize
the nearest stick and kill it, but if found that
snake in bed with my children, that would be
another question Laughler] might hurt
the children more than the snake and the
snake might bite them. Applause Much
more, if found it in bed with my neighbor's
cl ildren, and had bound myself by solemn
compact not 10 meddle vi h his children un-
der any circumstances it would become me
to let that particular mode of killing to the
gentleman alone. Great laughterl But il
there is a bed newly made up, to which the
children are to be taken and it was proposed
to take batch of young snakes and put them
there with them, take it no man would say
there WAS a question how l ought to decide
prolonged applause and cheers.
That is just the easel The new territories
are the newly made bed to which our chill
dren are to go, and il lies with the nation tC
say whether they shallhave the snakes mixeC
up with them or not 1t does not seem as i
there could be much hesitation what policy
should be adopted. (Applause)

MOMEsTEADs VS.. "NHGGERs."


AT Columbus Douglas said lie was the first
man to introduce Homestead Bill into the
House of Representatives, and that he had
always been a friend to the measure in the
Senate, but was never able TO get one thro'
Congress, because the time was all occupied
in discussing the "nigger question" Admit
this fasehood to be fact, for argument, and
what sort ofinfuence in the democratic party
does it show the little sucker to have? lfi7
years service, with his party in power more
than three. .fourths Of that time, has failed to
get this great measure through Congress, what
reason is there to suppose he can do any bet
ter now, oil alone? The very statement it.
self is conclusive evidence that the democracy,
as party, are opposed to the Homestead
policy, and the little sucker, as member OF
that party, has had no influence. But Doug
las tries to account for his poor success on the
ground that the "negro question" has occu-
pied all the time. From 1850 to '54 Con-
gress, perhaps, was never less ag-
itated with this question, yet where was the
little suckers Homestead bills? Did he in

In all that four years of peace and freedom
from the "negro question" no efforts worthy

law enacted, but it is conspicuous part o.
the history of the county, that that EZRA Of

and ruthessly broken, and not only Congress
but the entire nation plunged into the mos
bitter and protracted agitation of the 'negrc
question" the country ever knew, by the act
of tlis same Stephen A. Douglas, in spring
ing the iniquitous Kansas Nebraska bill up.
on Congress. To that mad act alone is due
the controversy over the "negro question .
which has so disturbed the nation for the
past six years. Had the measure thus pre-
cipitated upon Congress been one of tht

introduce, and been urged with half the ear.
