The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Herald says:
The general Interpretation Of Mr.,
Stewards speech is, that II not an aban .
donm0nt Of Republican principles, il Is
altogether too temporizing Ia the face Of
treason. II il taken as a record for the
forthcoming Lincoln Administration

isting state Of affairs can but result in
W ar, he determined 10 offer, in behalf Of
the Republican party Of the country, a
lib raj proposition 20 the South, and in
d ding 80 10 yield as much ns principle
and conscience would allow without hui
nilia ting the North or infringing upon
the pr inciples Of the Chicago platform.
He thinks no has done neither OF these.
The effect Of the speech Of Mr.. Seward
upon all who listened 10 Il was marked.
Some OF his periods were delivered with
the deepest feeling. and produced upon
Senators and tho spectators IN tho gal
lories the most intense sympathy With
the orator.

says:
We shall look 10 sec great change in

effort of Mr.. Seward. We hope TO see

ther by the North or the South, that

mainly At these few points the public

Of the revenue al ports Of entry, and the

TO hold conventions, make otatorical aud

they must safely be loft 10 no 90, for they
hurt nobody but themselves. IL they do
not want tho United States mails, they

The duty ofths General Government,
therefore, while imperative and plain, is

II has certain laws to maintain, certain

"Conquoring'' soocding states.

There is a great deal Of vague talk
about "coercing Sovereign States" and
the question Is asked whether the Seeed-
ing States can be "couquered," and
whether if conquered they can be "held
as revolted provincesl"
II is sufficient to reply to this that no
such purposes are entertained, and no
such results are necessary. The States
which remain loyal TO the Onion are not
held as provinees,' and consequently dis
loyal ones do not need 70 be conquered
and held as revolted provinces" Loyal
or disloyal, In the Union, or out OF Il, the
States are independent as regards their
