More Testimony Of William n. Seward

While Oliver P. Morton and other Re.
publican stump orators. 10 say nothing Of
their newspcr organs, are charging that 1t
was Martin Van Bufen and tie Democratic
party who originated the system of bestoH-
ing the right Of suffrage on negroes, may
be well enough to look at the testimony or
this point of w. H. Seward. the great
leader of the Republican party in the Sen
ate o: the United States In his celebrated
Rochester speech. delivered Octorber 18th.
1858. We find in Greely's Text Book. page
l62. occurs the following:
Without stopping 10 ascertain critically.
The origin OF the present Democratic party.
we may conceive lis claim TO da>e
from the era of good feeling which occur
under Bresdent Mon'oe AT that time,
in this State Naw York and about that
tine, in many others of the free Stale. the
Democratic party deliberately disfronchised
the free colored or african citizen, and it
ha, deliberately continued this dis franchise
ment ever since This was Pm effective
aid to slavery; for while the slaveholder
votes for his slaves against freedom, the
free slave in the free Safes is prohibited
from voting against slavery
Again, on page 1853. Mr. Seward says:
III (the Democratic party [disfrancish
ed the free negroes OH The ground that if
left to enjoy the right of suffrage. he might
seduce the free white citizen into amalg
amaion with his wronged and deispised
race
Such is the testimony which Senator
Seward bears on this point. The great
leader of the Republican party holds 1t as
crime against Democrats that they have
deprived negro cf the right of suffrage.
while Republican orators who came to make
speeches to The people of Indiana, tell them
that it is the Democrats who commenced
the practice!

THE New Y oRK bellies AND THE PRINCE.
The saucy New York correspondent Of
the Charleston .Nercury "irons out" the
fair ones of Gotham in the following deli
cate fashion:
The New York Bellies are making the
most formidable prearations to capture the
Prince. Every prerty. dear little head

ory of our maidens runs back to those d, :
licious fairy tales in which the handsom

blest Of plebian daughters, prefering beau
ty with poverty to in:eLse ugliress and
any amount of royal blood and territorial
dowery. Our Fifth avenue girls have not
the romantic advantages OF poverty; but
they are pretty. and they know it. and what
is more, they mean that the Prince shall.
The first step towards capturing the Prince
Is to dance with him As the Prince not

How the Pennsylvania Election News
Was Received in New York.

The Pennsylvania politicians tells US.
1--WE have elected Curtin. and therefore
Lincoln is elected President os the United
States" We do not exactly see into all
that. unless Pennsylvania is the United
Ststes--while the fact is. Pennsylvouia is
not even New York. The Empire State
is here. not there. Empire is in our hands
not theirs. The policy of the Government
is shaped by New York. and not by Penn
sylvaoia We dictate laws to, OF receive
laws from Pennsylvania.
When the Constitution OF the United
States was submitted to the States the
battle was here. not in Pennsy yfvania.-
When our State Convention assembled in
POughkeepsis and adopted the Federal
Compact. we turned the point. and the
Constitution was established. The Piv-
ot of Government is here, and more here
in the Empire City of the Empire State
than even in Washington ITSELF
New York, it is fancied, will cover.
and knuckle, and yield before the storm
resulting from disorganized Democracy in
Pennsylvania and lndiana--as if we were
some puny State without the power to res
cue the couutrymen from the crisis i'm.
pending, if mere. Northern Government
is substitutes for the Federal Government
which we have been living under during
seventy years.
Dut New York knows her strength, and
her patriotic men will arouse and develop
it now. New York has the power to turn
the tide, and New York will try, and sue
cessfully try, if every conservative man
now goes TO work. New York is vol
named the Empire State. not only because
of the magnitude Of her population, but
because of The magnitude Of her resources,
aud Of the great stake size has u the wei
fare Of the Union. New York cannot af-
iord tc be sectional. or 10 elect seclioal
President. New York cannot, will not
cut herself loose from The Southe rn States
Of the Union New York will not peril
her trade; her commerce her position, by
any such fa'se step. The commercial
metropolis must continue; 10 be the me
