out of his own purse to procure emf.
nent medical testimony. His sum
ming up of that case is one of the
ablest efforts in the annals of crimi-
nal jurisprudence. He was unsuccess-
full But the poor negro died and upon
a post norton examination, his brain
was found to be a mass of disease,
completely verifying all of Stewards
positions. He defended the consplra-
tors against the Michigan Central
Railroad in 1S49, and for years was
engaged in many of the most impor-
tant cases in the country. In Fehru-
airy, ls49, he was chosen U. S. Sena.
tor, in which body he has been ever
since. For the first few years in that
body he was received with GOODNESS
by all his peers, treated with ostra-
cism, and made the target Of all the
meanness of the slave power. But he
stood unmoved lie has ever in that
body been faithful to his friends
faithful to his constituents and above
all, faithful to Human Freedom. When
all others have been discouraged and
quaied, he has been true. In his
place in the United States Senate he
has done more than any other man to
educate the people to high standard
in regard to the rights of all men.
During his entire career, he neverhas
had an unpleasant controversy. He dis
cussed principles and general truths,
rather than measures. He has utter.
ed maxims, which will be watchwords
SO long as freedom has foothold in
the Republic. Courteous to all, he
has finally won the respect of his Bit
terest political foes. He has left an
example that all future statesmen may
study with profit.
Mr.. Seward in his physique is small,
spare man. He is not popular speak
er. The rostrum of the Senate is his
proper place, rather than hustings.
He is an argumentativc speaker, dig
nliied in every uttcrance-never de-
scending to epithets or common place
remark intellectual ard philosophy
cal in his matter, high toned and re-
fined in his language. All his speech
es and addresses are marked with the
polish of the scholar. He is man
that beiisres in the political equality of
all men. He has always, at all times
and under all circumstances been the
friend of the down-trodden and op-
pressed.
In his new position, to guide the
ship of State, we believe he will win
new honors. No man in the nation
commands more of the honor and re-
spect of the Republican party than he.
He was undoubtedly the first choice
of three-fourths of the Chicago Conven-
ton, but policy set him aside. His
friends, will everywhere rejoice that
he is to assume the chief post under
Lincoln. We trust the first honors of
the Republic are yet in store for him
