since the 9Th Of March. 1861. ana place the pub
lie expressions Of Mr. LScoLs and Ar SfwARD.
in regard TO slavery. in juxtaposition. and see
how shamefully both have deceived the country.
We may DO this at our leisure. for the benefit of
all who have yet any lingering respect for these
exploded funetioparies. At present, have a
word @ say about Mr.. Seward, who manages
our foreign affairs.
The publication, by Congress. Of Mr.. SKwARp's
official dispatches 10 our ambassadors abroad,
has developed some dsgracefui opinions. In
writing TO Mr. ADAMS. accredited to England.
under date of February IL. 1862, Mr.. SEWARD is
evidently apologizng for the non-issuing Of a
proclamation OF negro emancipation. which no
doubt ADAMS. true to his Abolition instincts, had
urged upon the Administration. Mr.. SEWARD
and the President were. at that early day. eau
tiousy feeling their way for the procla NATION of
September I'D. and Mr. SEWARD thus encourages
the Embasssdor TO hope for an emancipation
crusade. The following language Is worthy Of
the wiley New York Senator. He tells ADAMS:
What i the operation Of the warf We have
entered Virginia. and already FIVE thousand slaves.
emancipated simply by the appearance Of our
forces, are upon the hands of the Federal Gov
ernmeht there. We have landed on the coast OF
South Carolina, ard already nine thousand SINH
larry EN- ,ncipated slaves hang upon our camps
Although the war has not been waged
against slavery. vet the army acts Immediately
as an emaDcipating crusade. To proclaim the
crusade j. unnecessary, and IL would even be in
expedient because il would deprive OF the
neeiful aud legitimate support of the friends OF
the Union who not opposed To slavery, but
Who prefer Union without slavery to disunion
with slavery
Does France or does Great Britain want to see
a soci, revolution here. with all its horrors, like
the slave revo' uion in 81. Domingo? Are these
powers sure that the country the world il ripe
for such n revolution, so that il certainly be
successful What. ii inauguratiug such revo

Who says this Administration Is False to human

No crafty diplomat-from RrcHELIEu down t.
SEwARp--ever wrote hidden words of deeper dis
grace than those. lie tells of the thousands Of
slaves which "hang upon our camps" and b,
cares not IL they belong to loyal masters. "Al
though" says he. 'the war has not been waget
against slavery, yet the army acts Immediately al

crusade" continues Mr. SEWARD, els unneces
sary, and it would even be inexpedient, becaus,
il would deprive rs Of the needfuI and legitimat,

opposed to slavery" &c. The meaning of all
this is very plain: The border slave States. and
those who are not Aboltiosists IN the free States
must no, be shocked ard Disguised by proc
nation, but the army is to carry out an "emanci.
patton crusadel'' In other words. the gallant
soldiers who flew to arms to uphold the Union
and preserve the Government as il was made by
their fathers, were turned into band Of Adolf
tionists at the bidding of this Administration
This was the programme in February, le62
But that process was too slow-the army did not

wise and disgrsceful proclamation of Septembe
