We make brief extracts from several in
Auensial organs Of public opinion in regard
to the late important speech Of Senator Sew
ard:
From the National Intelligt ncer.1
Whatever We may have found to object TO
in the past course or theoretical opinions
Of Mr.. Seward. we are glad to recognise in
this ennnciation OF his administrative prin-
ciples the marks Of practical craftsmanship
which does him honor. Not disgusting that
he has abated somew hat from his individual
views OF political cxpediencv, IN order TO
ceneiliate wider range OF public opinion,
and canddly protesting a willingness to
waive questions Of dispu,atious and dogmas.
ic politics in the presence of dangers tho
IN ost imminent, threatening the very exist.
ence Of the nation, Mr.. Seward has undoubt-
cdly interpreted Alright the highest duty OF
the statesman and the patriot at this crisis.
Whether the practical measures which he
suggests as . basis Of Adjustment are suf6-
cient to meet the exigencies OF the case pre-
scented for present consideration, is ques
ton which each man will perhaps decide
somewhat differently, according to the stan.
dard OF right and justice which he has erected
IN bis own mind; and We shall not, there
fore, be surprised to find at the North as
earnest dissent from some Of Mr.. Stewards
positions, on the alleged ground that they
soncede too much, as OF exception at the |
extreme South because they DO not concede |
enough to meet all the demands OF the
lour.

The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1861-01-28
from the Philadelphia Press.

However much radical Aboltionists, on
the one hand, may be disposed to find fault
with Dir. Seward, or ultra pro.slavcry men,
on the other, complain that he has shown no
disposition to yield to all their exactions, We
feel satisfied that the masses Of the American
people, who are yet attached to the Union
and anxious for its preservation, whether
they live north or South OF Mason and Dix
on's line, will cheerfully concede that no has
taken bold and manly step in the right di-
rection. He discusses his theme in a style
worthy of its transcendant importance, and
as one who fully realizes the folly Of refu.
sing to sacrifice a fow cherished prcjudiees
or stubborn convictions to save a great EN-.
pire and to rescue happy and prosperou.
people from all the sufferings and horrors Of
civil war. The Union may be destroyed in
spite of the anxious desire to preserve il,
and the conclia.ory spirit he has evinced
but certainly his remarks on Saturday should
have no small influence in calming the exag-
gerated fears entertained IN tho South OF
aggre.sions on the part Of the new Admins
tration, and in restoring harmony to our dis.
tracted and divided Confederacy.
