WAsHINGroH, March /, 1860.
Every one with half mind comedies that the
speech Of Senator Seward yesterday, however,
0dious ia IT'D sentiments and teachings was marked
By consummate ability; and it is nliudged depre-
ciati0nfur the government organ here TO character
lie It in such enormous terms Of ridicule as be-
meath thu ambition Of schooIboy in any clever
debating society," It was a great speech, al
though it, rank jesaitism and treacherous state
ments deserve Tie reprobation Of patriotic and
honest men. The quid-nuncs now say that Seward
mast be the Chicago nominee. His friends point
to the fact that, although there may be partial
and factious opposition to him, all regular Repub-
lican bodies in the North, including the National
Executive Committee, have endorsed him for their
candidate.
The reply Of Senator Douglas to the arch dema-
gogue Of the Republican party, made on the spur
Of the moment, il spoken Of as one of the most
gallant and brilliant efforts ever made Oh the loor
OF the Senate. Logically, it demolished the denna-
gogue. Mr. Douglas never speaks but with effect,
and although in his style he seems to scorn the
Lesser gacas Of rhetoric, his argument Is always SO
clear 80 jealous and SO impressive In its convic-
tions as 10 hare well nigh the power Of the burn
ing words Of the most impassioned orator. MI.
Seward style is strongly conrasted to that Of the
Little Giant. He is no reasoner; he seems to be
wholly unacquainted with the resources of logic
bis style il that Of broad, philosophical statement
On the other hand, the distinguished Illinois Sena
sor overwhelms all tho FEASIBILITY Of speech and
bowers Of defamation brought to bear against
linn BY the serried forces Of invincible logic, and
hongh never engaging id contests Of passion, be
lrges the combat with q warmth and zeal scarcely
econd III its exciting power to the rage Of the
rator.
The country can scarcely fail to observe the
eadiness and effect with which Senator Douglas
as assailed every position and argument of the
republican party brought forward at this session
nd 70 recognize the spirit Of loyalty to the Consti
1ton that has melted him to these efforts, despite
/ the discouragments and prosecutions he has
cen treated to BY portion Of the Democratic
arty. The conscientiousness and generosity of
lis course cannot fail to produce a deep popnlar
npression in favor of Mr.. Douglas If the self. |
ghteons Democrats in the Senate, who womb
lst the Illinois Senator behind them, had but half
9 zeal he has to attack and oYerpower Black |
spublcanism, they might urge their insolent |
aims to superior patriotism and purer Democ. T
cy with some better effect
The resolutions introduced some time aoo /. Tho
,use, inquiring into the expedency of the acaui-
ion of Cuba and Of the British North American
ovinces, mean nothing more than resolutions of
lilar import, which, in some form or other have
en- upon the notice paper Of almost every session
Congress. ANY scheme Of acquiring Canada by
COLLATION. may well be despaired Of, as what one
It's papers declares is no doubt fully true in the
madam estimation, namely, that :. the rottenness
q corruption, social and POLITICAL which peryade
cry part Of the Union, and of which we have
teiy had 50 many notorious proofs, have sufi.
entity disguised the people Of the Canadas and of
2 other British American provinces with Repub-
;anism In general, and disnelined them from any
ON any former willingness to cast in their lot
nth any political party in the Union, pro-slayery

na mas lately very broadly manifested the deter.
allaIoh OF strengthening itself by new measures.
". aroWs speech Of yesterday, in the House. was
lnoiner effort IN that direction. He claimed the
homestead law 70 be measure of Republican
,ohcy, and made strong speech, recommending
hat the public lands should be withheld from sale |
md dedicated to the establishment Of free homes
or freemen. He attacked the present land policy
# the Government with comprehensive arguments
tating that the grants, donations and sales made
" the Government had wrested from the rights of
reemen the enormous sum Of 81 ,2S3 900 o0o. Tba
peech, Of course, smacked strongly of agrarian-
sn although il Is to be noticed that that is an ism
q the interest of the masses, and therefore not
uite as odicus as other vagaries Of the day
It would seem that the authorities in the South
m States charged with prohibiting the circulation

ant or not very effective in performing that duty.
