Stewards Speech---AII hope
Gone.

The synopsis of William II. Stewards
speech, delivered in the Senate on Satur-
day, as received by telegraph, sufficiently
foreshadows the policy of iiacoln's admin
istration, to let the country know that there
Is 30 longer IA vestige Of hope for the Union
or the peaceful adjustment of our present
ffculties The balief had been anxiously
INDUCED in that Mr. Seward possessed
some of those qualities of statesman and
natriOt, which. notwithstanding the fauat
zeal tendencies Of his past career, all his
friends and some of his enemies CLAIMED
for him. But his speech, as telegraphed
over the country on Saturday evening dis
pels the deIusion-and as there can be no
dDdbt that the views therein set forth fairly
indicate the intended policy of Lircoln's
administration, we may truly say, kills
every hope for the Union, banishes pros
perity and happiness from the country and
presents a vista in the future in which civil
war and all its horrors are alone decerna-
BILE.
Mr.. Seward does not yield one inch
does not back down an ;o'a. Hi speech has
come up tc the highest expectation of the
most rabid Abolitionist 1t is true he in
/ dulges i'll strain of vapid defamation
! about tue value of the Union AID his ut,
| tachment to it, but not word has he ut
tered in Reputation of the irrepressible
conflict doctrines upon which he founded
the Black Republican party The people
/ of the South are therefore left to under
/ stand that Mr.. Lincoln and his administra-
| ton will view slavery as a most damnable
and detestable institution, against which
/ they are engaged in an irrepressible con-
hict never to be relinquished until the
States are all free or all slave.
South Carolina and the other States
which have seeded, no doubt felicitate
themselves now, that since the irrepressi-
bic conflict is to be the policy Of the
Government, they can wage the war much
more effectively out of the Union than they
could have done in it. And every other
! Sonthern State, now that the tocsin han
I been sounded, will lose no time in possess
! ing themselves Of the same advantage.
Let the people now bear in mind what
has been the position thus far of the lead
! ing men Of the country, and they must see
that the responsibility Of all the evils and
caiamities which are about to befaIi US,
rests upon the Black Republicans. While
/ Democratic statesmen have avowed them
selves ready to abandon every political POI
sition upon which they have heretofore
stood in order to effect compromise by
which the Union can be saved and the
/ peace of the country restored, Mr.. Seward
aud his contederates refuse TO reliuguish a
/ single one of their tanatical aud irrepressi~
bic distractions about slavery.
Ga them, then, be the responsibility for
all the horrors and sufferings which are
sure 10 come. On them rest that - woe" a
thousand time, over, which Seward hypo-
critically invokes on the man who would
madly raise his hand against the Union.

Beware OTPaper Money.

The basis Of about one>third of the pa
per circulation in this State rests upon
Government stocks Aud the proportion
We believe, is about the same in Wiscon-
and other States.
The present depIorab!e condition Of our
national officers must prove fatal to our
public credit. The Federal Government
can give no guarantees which will com
maEd the confidence Of capitalists, and, Of
course, Government stocks must depreci-
ate and the foundation of many of cur
banks be swept away. Hence, our readers
may see the proPriety of watching the
course of events, that they may not be
losers by bank fixtures In all human
probability, q month viii moi eslapse, ere
We shall have money crisis more ruinous
and more terrible than ever before expert
enced in this country. Let people beware
Of paper money of all description, and keen
no more on hand than is absolutely nee
essary for present use, for no one can tell
when it will be worth no more than the
PAPER on which it is printed.
