w. H, Stewards Speech.

We give in our issue this morning the
material parts of the great speech of Mr..
Seward of New York II is a speech that
should be read by every American citizen
It's stately dignity compares favorably with
the verbose 6re-eating efforts OF Southern
disunion Democrats. 1t Is a great speech,
and carries US back to the times, when the
fathers of the Republic spoke 10 the Sen
ate of the United States. He pleads elo-
qrently, masterly, patristically for the
Union He talks as a statesman should
talk about the John Brown raid and pays
the Helper book all the consideration it de-
serves he stalks like giant over such
men as Toombs, Davis and Douglas, and
excites their malice and their hate because
be stands a bow strings fling beyond their
reach.
There is nothing personal in this speech.
BE went beyond individuals and dealt in
history, facts and principles. There is no
defence of himself, but clear calculation
Of the great doctrines he has for years adj
vocated. The "irrepressible conflict" is
explained with great distinctness. All the
power Of his genius. all the impulses of
his heert and all the patriotism of the man.
spring int. full life ADD action when be
turns upon the integrity of the Union. He
is for the Union at all haxards-for giving
the South all and every constitutional right
she possesses. and claiming the same for
the North. He is neither Southern or a
Northern man. but an American Citizen
one too who has the ability to comprehend
the whole country, and the moral indepen
dence to be a patriot.

Opposition Club.

The largest audience that has yet assem-
bled since the organization of the opposi
ton Club. was present on Monday evening
to hear Mr.. Usher speak.
His speech was a clear legal exposition
ofthe issues OF the day. He showed how
the Democratic perty was following in the
precise path marx ed for them in 1647, by
the great nullifier, John G. Calhoun. He
compared the principles advocated by the
leaders of the Democratic party now, at
Washington, with those of the South Caro-
linian, and proved them to be IDENTICAL
he showed that Calhoun, who had to be
threatened with the halter by President
Jackson, FIRST raised the doctrine that the
Federal Constitution carried Slavery into
the public Territories; and that new after
the lapse of near fifteen years, when the
great minds Of Clay aud Webster were quiz
eseent in death, the Democratic party.
backed by the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States, were making HerculeaD efforts
to establish this very doctrine. He ap-
pealrd TO his hearers, il they believed all
the vast public domain was open to the
influx of Slavery, or if it was not rather
free Territory, aud that Slavery could exist
nowhere except in those States where there
is positive laws recognizing it. He quoted
the bitter, scathing denunciations Of the
"Great Commoner" against this doctrine
of Mr. Calhoun. and the by the Eternal"
which Kissed from the lips Of "Old Kick
Ory,' when be proposed to hang the multi
fer as traitor.
We wish our time and space would al
low US to give further synopsis OF this
speech of Mr.. Usber's, but can only add
that it was able and conclusive. We hope
to hear him often in the coming struggle.

u The New Albany Tribune speaking
of the State ticket and platform, says:
"In fact if the platform adopted at the
recent Opposition State Convention and
the speeches of Hon. Henry s. Lane are to
be taken as a criterion, Rspublicanism, in
this State, is as conservative and National
in its views as any one could desire"

will see the doctrines Of the Republican

lican party, than in any other-more ma

A PLEASANT SURPRIsE.-Ws were fortu-
nate on Sabbath last. in being permitted to
witness one of those pleasant incidents
which serve a. way marks in the Journey
of life, aud to which the mind can refer
with delight, in after days. We had re.
ceived an iptimation a few days before,
that scene of more than ordinary interest
would be enacted at the Sabbath School Of
the Asbury Chapel, on the then coming
sabbath. We at once determined to wit
ness it, and for that purpose made it conve
nient to visit the Sabbath School at the
time appointed. We found the entire base
meat of the church crowded full. The
teachers and scholars numbered about two
hundred and eighty. The regular exerci-
ses OF the school were exceedingly interes
ting and edifying.
When these were ended the whole school
was assembled in the large room. When
Mr.. W. G. Lupton on behalf of the officers
Of the school. proceeded in neat, appro

lily Bible, of most elaborate finish and beau
ty, as a menento Of the high appreciation
OF the very efficient manner in which he
had discharged various duties pertaining
to his office, and of his exemplary character
as man.
Mr.. Gosset, TO whom this very hattering
manifestation of esteem was wholly unex-
peeted, accepted the testimonial with un-
feigned gratitude and surprise. expressing
a hope that be might be enabled to prac
tice the sacred precepts contained in the
holy volume The whole scene was deeply
Impressing and interesting.
Mr.. Gosset having just assumed new
aud most responsible relation in life-havl
ing been married during the past week,
this presentation of family Bible was un-
usually appropriate.
The interest manifested Ia this Sabbath
School is truly commendable, and we were
agreeably impressed with the extent OF
that interest by noticing the number of
married ladies aud gentlemen who seemed
absorbed in their devotion TO promote the
prosperity Of the School. After some ex
celIent music by the scholars and teachers,
we left highly delighted with our visit.
