THREE CLASSES Attic NORTH.

THREE CLASSES Al TIE NORTH.
Then look at the North divided in.
TO three sections. !. The defeated
minority, glad of anything that troub.
les their conquerors. 9. The class of
Republicans led by Mr.. Seward, Offer.
ing to surrender anything TO save the
Union. [Appla"sc. Their gospel is
the constitution, [applausc and the
slave clause is their sermon on the
Mount! Laughter and applause. r.
They think that at the Judgment
Day, the hacker the sins they have
committed to save the Union. the
clearer will be- their title to Heaven.
*. The rest ofthe Republicans led Ivy
the Tribune ALI honor to the 2'ri.
bu"e, faithful and true! who consider
their honor pledged to fulfill in office
the promises made in the canvass.
Their motto is: "1'hc Chicago plat
form, every inch ot' h-not. hairs
breadth Of territories shall bs surre,-
dcrea to slavery" ]Arr'ausc.] ];ut
they, too. claim the cannon $ mouth TO
protect forts, defend the fla. and save
the Union. At the head Of this sec
ton, we have every reason to believe,
stand Abraham Lincoln. ...
All these arc the actros on the
stage. But the foundation on whicl,
all stand divides only into two parts.
those who like slavery and mean it
shall last, those who hate slavery and
mean j, shall die. In the boiling gulf
goes on the perpetual conflict OF acid
and alkali-a!l these classes are but
bubbles Oh the surface. The upper
milestone is ri. 1T and the lower wrong.
Between them governments aud par
chmcnt>: parties and compromises are
slowly ground to powder.
SEw>Ep's SPEECH!
The speed, Of Mr.. Seward I regard
as a declaration Of war against the
avowc1 policy Of the incoming Presi-
dent. Ii Lincoln were Andrew Jack.
sou, as his friends aver, lie would dis.
miss Mr.. Seward from Ills Cabinet.
The incoming Administration, fhon-

Mr.. Seward and the South.
His power is large. Already hc
has swept our Adams into tho vortex.

TO this time experience has demonstrated
that there are insuperable Obstacles to the
formation Of cass-iron gens Of more that 10

As al. attempts to make castings larger than
..als have failed, attention has been turned
to wrought iron, with the hope Of increas-
ing the caAiber. Yet the use Of wrought
iron has been proved to be almost as dan
gerous as tha; Of cast iron. II is liable to
many destructive casualties, even after per-
feet welding has been secured. The huge
wrought-iron gun which burst on board the
Princeton in 1913. was proved to have part
ed with one third the original strength Of
the iron by the intense heat used in forging
il. Wrough.-iron guns Of large calibre,
