A VOICE FROM SEWARD Al LAsr-THE REyo-
LuTIoNARY BANQUET AT THE AsToR HoUsE.--At
last the sage Of Auburn has opened his mouth.
and given uttcrance 10 his views on the great
question which now distracts the country and
threatens the destruction of the confeleracy
Unexpectedly he made his appearance ut the
New England dinner at the Astor House. about
midnight on Saturday night, and there he made
q speech, in which he laid down his views Of
public affairs. He treated the secession move
mcnt in variety Of moods, now humorously,
now philosophically now seriously, and again
in n statesmanlike manner: 30 that his speech,
while eminenffy conciliatory throughout. pre-
scnts all the bues of the chameleon. He
showed. to his own satisfaction, and perhaps
that Of his hearers, that no republican
State can stand alone on this continent;
that II must be confcderatcd with other
States; and he ascribed the discovery of
that system Of government to the Puritans
Of New England. The deduction from this was
that South Carolina, or any other State that
nigh, follow her example, would soon discover
the impracticabilty oftheir plan, and return into
the confederacy. But even ii this should not
be so, he found some consolation in the rehec-
ton that for every slave State that would 20
out there were two free states ready to come
in. and minated that Canada and Mexico
would more than compensate for the los Of the
Gulf States.
One thing stands out palpably in this speech
of Senator Stewards. and tha, is that while it
breathcs nothing but kindness and gentlcness
and Cancellation towards The South, il nowhere
squinis ut the idea OF making any concession
on the slavery question. lie does, indeed, say
that there would be a debate on the question -
that this debate would be carried On in spirit
Of kindness, and that II il should prove that the
North had done any injustice TO the South.
that injustice would BE- repaired; while, if
the complaints were shown 10 be unreasonable,
he was con6dcn, they would be withdrawn.
As to the question of coercion; he skilfully
pafricd It by quotation from Sir Thomas
More. that there were great many school
masters ~ TN world, and that while very few
knew how to instruct children, they all knew
how to whip them.

Mg. LiNCoIN's PosIuo>.--Thc Tribune is
very positive that Mr. Lincoln will stick TO the
Chicago platform, come what may. Our
Springfield correspondent, upon whose infor-
nation We place great reliance, says with equal
emphasi. that ''the President elect repndia.es
Thurlow Weeds attempt 10 destroy the doc
trines of the Chicago platform, and to exchange
the policy of Congressional Intervention agains,
slavery in the Territories for the Douglas doc
trinc Of squatter sovereignty" We have no
doubt that such are the latest declarations of
Mr. Lincoln; but what do they signify. They
show that he is ut last seriously thinking on the
subject Of compromise, and that he will
stand firm until convinced that it will be bet
ter to yield little or good deal for the sake
of peace. During the last twenty years or
more in Congress. upon every great measure
requiring q vote or two to pass it, the vote or
two or three votes wanting have been found,
and generally from men last expected to back
down.
Take the cases of Senator's Benton and
Bagby for examples. on the Texas annexation
resolutions; the case of Senator Jarnagin on
the tariff of 1916, and the cases Of Foote, Gle
mems and Downs on the compromises Of 1850.
Benton and Bagby were particularly hostile to
the Texas annexation resolutions and spoke
against them on the night Of their passage;
but with little additional resolution, which
practically amounted to nothing at all, they
voted for the whole batch, and passed them:
for without the votes OF these two men those
resolutions would have been defeated And
50 Of the other cases enumerated. aud so Of
numerous individuals concerned in the Kansas
Nebraska bill. They would never support it:
but they did. And SO of Hon, Thaddeus Stevens,
and others, in the contest for Speaker of the
present Congress. They would stick to John
Sherman till the crack Of doom = but for all
that, when they found it was their policy to
drop him, they dropped him.
And so with Mr.. Lincoln in regard TO the
Chicago platform He will never abandon it,
OF course not lie finds il necessary TO say So
Tie is whistling to keep his courage up; for he
feels that he is standing on slippery ground -
While fiery pillows roll below.
We regard these very positive dyei4rations
of frmness good sign. They sho. mat Mr.
Lincoln is beginning to deliberate upon the
remedies for the crisis; and when politician
delberatcs he is open to conviction

news transmission has never been more
forcibly demonstrated than during the last
eight weeks. 1t has placed the people of
both sections of the Union in hourly posses
sion of all the facts and Occurrences bear
ing on the present unhappy controversy be-
tween them; but the telegraph, convenient
and admirable as it is in it, arrange
men's, Is, however, still but All expert
ment so far n the press il concerned.
Although II has been thirteen years in exist
ence much remains TO be done in this conncc-
ton. What is wanting TO perfect the system
is corps of newspaper correspondents, tho
roughly educated and trained to it, use. At
present vast amount of superflucns matter
is sent over the lines, owing to the difficulty of
finding persons qualified for the duty. II i
exceedingly hard TO impress upon telegraph
correspondents that what is required from them
is, not their own opinions and views. bat facts
These they can at once obtain within the cir
cult Of district allotted 10 them, by having
themselves recourse TO the telegraph. They
have no need to accept flying rumors a. cor.
rect. which they have the immediate meas. of
verifying, and, consequently, 1t only requires
a sufficient number Of persons, 10 Dc tho
roughly trained into the system, TO render lclc-
graphic news the most reliable Of all Ii Is
never necessary. excepting for malicious pur-
poses, TO send such lying statements a. have
lately been published; such, for instance as the
reports Of the quarrel of General Scott aud the
President, the resignation Of the former. the
insanity Of the President, of his instructions 10
Major Anderson to surrender Fort Moultric.
Of the taking Of the Charleston iorl- by the
mob, and Of the shooting down Of Senator Wade
by Pryor. of Virginia. II is true these rumors
were not long despatched on their inhammatory
errand before they were met by an instant de-
NAL But unfortunately q denial does not
have the same publicity ~ i given 10 false
statement
We have done much, within the sphere of
our own operations, towards bringing about
q reformation in this department Of jour
nalism. II is our constant aim and labor
TO perfect the arrangements Of our journal
in connection with the telegraph When the
system comes to b. generally understood, per-
fected and extended, instead Of sending their
communications through the Post Ofice. we
sbsli instruct our correspondence to drop
them in the receiving box OF The telegraph
Office. Then the metropolitan newspapers win

caliis.
