Mr.. Seward an interesting petition
from citizens of New York, for the pas
sage of the resolutions submitting the
border States resolutions. The petition
is signed by $500 people, and is 1900
feet long. MI. Seward, in the course
of his remarks said he had been asked TO
support their petition. He had not yet,
although %anxiously waited and hoped for
a movement, on the part of the people
of the country and their representatives
which would Justify him in saying that
the seceeding states, or all that sympa-
thize with them have made propositions
which citizens of the adjoining States, or
those desiring to adhere to the Union,
would be acceptable and satisfactory to
the other party. / have thought it my
duty to hold myself ready for the best ad-
iustment that could possibly be made. I.
have, therefore been obliged to ask this
this committee to be content with the
assurance that | would express to the
public and Senate that the Spirit in which
they come is perfectly commendable. 1t
is perfectly satisfactory and gratifying to
me to see a proper spirit of fraternal
kindness; of Cancellation and affection
by a large portien of my fellow citizens
of the State which l represent, l have
asked them also in return for perform
ing my duty on this occasion when they
arrive at home that they will act in the
same spirit, and manifest their devotion
to the Union above the other interests
and sentiments, by speaking for the Uni
on; by voting for the Union, and if ne
cessary. lending-even giving their mo-
ney for the Union-and, fighting Sin the
last extremely" for the Union. Taking
care that speaking always goes before
voting; voting before giving money, and
all 90 before battle, which | should re-
gard hazardous and dangerous, and Their
fore the last as it would be the most pain
full measure.
He did not despair of the Union. He
though it would be reconstructed, but
the time had not yet arrived. 1t would
not be done in ninety days. The pres
ent frenzy must first die away, party
platforms must be swept away. All
talk of secession ~and'coercion must cease
before the Union becomes the grand OBJ
iect of interest and affection of the peo-
pie of the United States. Everybody
who shall oppose, resist, or stand in the
way of the preservation of the Union
will disappear like moths on a summer
eve when a whirlwind Of popular indig-
nation arises, that will be excited at a
full discovery that the Union is in dan
ger.
He spoke some time on the question of
slavery in the Territories. The admis-
sion of Kansas had settled all that was
vital or important, except the passions
which the contest had e%ngendered.
Kansas is in the Union; California and
Oregon are in the Union, and yet the
same contests distract the Union as be-
fore. The extent of the Territories left
is l06 900 square miles. An area "a
times as large an area as the State of N.
Y, which are yet to be organized. Now
under what is asserted by the Admins
tration as a judicial decree, every inch of
that Terrrriia is slave Territory.
This is a c~onfederacy; nor an imperial
government. nor the government of a
state. 1t is a c~onfederacy dependent
upon the consent of all members, and sub
iect to dissolution, but those who consti-
