Seward to the principles of the Republican party
and his aonegation of SELF it is only necessary for
them to read the following from the Auburn Daily
Advertiser OF Saturday. Governor Seward himself
wrote the short leader which announced the result
at Chicago; and it is characteristic of the man.
we speak advisedly when we say that the follow
ing not only speaks the sentiments of Governor
Seward, but that it was written by him.

tne head OF our columns, with pride and satisfac-

ers OF the Republican faith could have been found
IN .ne onion than the distinguished and esteemed
| citizens on whom the honors of the nomination
nave fallen. Their election, we trust, BY decisive
majority, will restore the Government of the
united states to its constitutional and ancient
party, then; be union and Liberty, and onward
to Victory va" ''u
