heart the life currents Of the Union are quick
ened, and its nrst act win be the election, in
October, Of Foster, the conservative candidate
for Governor In Pennsylvania. To this object
now should be directed the united efforts OF the
conservative interests Of these three States. Let
them secure the election of Governor Foster on
the 9th day of October next. and we shall hear
no more of straight Douglas, straight Breck-
inridge, or straight factious tickets Of any kind,
for the Presidential election in November The
Union ticket will carry all three of these States
If its success is secured in the October election
in Pennsylvania. This event may depend upon
the good will Of the merchants OF New York,
and they can and should do much towards
bringing it about.
Union or Observation-Disclosures l.. Yancey
Versus william II. Seward.
We published the other day, in the same poll
teal chapter, a Characteristic speech Of Hon.
William L. Yancey, delivered at Washington
on Friday evening last, and brief report of q
campaign speech of Mr.. Seward at Dubuque,
Iowa, on the same evening. It was remarks
BILE coincidence that at the same time although
thousand miles apart, the great special cham
pion Of the Southern pro-slavery 6re-eaters and
the great apostle of the anti slavery black re-
publicans should be edtying us in the HERALD
Office, as if Yancey were whispering in one ear
and Seward in the other, each his peculiar
views to our special attention.
II is more remarkable, however, that between
these two men, and their conflicting principles,
purposes and tendencies, all the elements and
dangers Of disunion, North and South, are repre-
scented. In his last Friday evenings speech at
Dubuque, Mr.. Seward said that "the national
policy on the subject of labor has been for the
last forty years erroneous, false and tending
to ruin, and 1t must be reversed; and that 1t is
the policy and the purpose of the republican
party ito circumscribe slavery and to fortify
and extend freedom" "They would insist that
the remaining Territories and all that may be
hereafter acquired be free Territories and free
States" Mr.. Seward also remarked that "Mayor
Wood had made the discovery that we were
trading people, and that our trade would cease
if the republicans came into power" but said
the Sage of Auburn, ito say that trade Is the
great occupation, the one idea, Of the American
people, is a lie."
Mr.. Yancey, in Washington, meantime, ad-
dressed the people "as the friend Of the con-
stitutiop, and Of the Union under the constitu.
ton, and as the enemy Of any other Union,
come from what source It may" and he hoped
that men were present Representing all parties
except that party" which he denounced as ''the
enemy of the consHtution-the black republi-
can party" Mr.. Yancey also referred to the
late 'statesmanlike speech Of Mayor Wood"
and said, "let New York see TO II, If she loves
her commerce and loves her palatial houses
and princely merchandise her see to 1t that
the South, driven to the wall, does not make
New York of Baltimore, Charleston, Savannah
and New Orleans, !" while grass shall grow In the
streets of New York.
Such are the broad distinctions between Mr..
Seward and Mr.. Yancey. The one, inspired
with the prospects Of Lincoln's election, halls
the breaking day Of the Southern slaves deli.
verance not by force Of arms-oh! no-but
simply by putting the "slave power" under the
hydraulic pressure Of an antislavery govern
ment In all its branches. he will do his great
work..of making "all the States free State by
, broad and general antislavery interpreta-
tion Of the constitution. No wonder that in this
view the republican party Is denounced by
Mr.. Yancey as the enemy Of the constitution,
without which the Union to the South u but an
engine Of despotism and subjugation.
Hence the earneatnes Of Mr.. Yancey's appeal
10 all the conservative elements of the North.
and especially Of New York, to combine for the
common purpose Of defeating Lincoln, because,
with his election, Mr.. Yancey holds that that
Union which Is the Union of the constitution will
have ceased to exist and the South will be driven
10 the wall. And how can II be otherwise, with
this active crusading Northern holy snti-slavery
alliance installed In power at Washington
Looking, then, at the practical meaning Of this
speech Of Seward and this speech Of Yancey,
we see that they are both charged with the
combustibles Of disunion-aggressive on the
one side. defensive on the other, but both drift
Ing to the same ultimatum.
What say our conservative commercial inte-
rests Of this city-union or disunion. l. II not
manifest, from the programme Of M. Seward
and the warnings Of Mr.. Yancey, that Lincoln's
election viii administer a staggering blow to
the commercial and financial interests Of New
York! Let there be union among them, upon
the common principle Of selfpreservation, and
Lincoln will be defeated, and the schemes Of |
Seward and the threateninys Of Yaacey will |
vanish into thin air.
