LISCoLN AND JOHNSON AssoCIArIoH-Secre
tary Seward made the folio wing address to the
Lincoln and Johnson Association, who called
upon him last evening:
Fellow citizens: understand that You are
the Lincoln and johnson Association OF the
District OF Columbia. iVoices-sWe are"1
Well, l inquire because 1t is well when people
meet that each party know exactly VINO the
other party are. I'll tell You, therefore, who

the Union which we are lighting for. Wehave
found it necessary to fight for that cause; ana
when 1 am obliged to fight for cause am the
last man who will 60 to the polls and vote
against it.
Fellow. citizens: In aspeech made recently,
at Auburn, said there should be no draft, be-
cause the army is being reinforced oy o;ooe 70
10000 volunteers per day. The people OF Au-
burn understood me, and cleared their district
of the draft by volunteering. Patrlouc men
in Philadelphia write me that tney unoeIstood
fore they stop volunteering. L avail myself,
therefore, of this occasion to correct their mis-
take by saying that as faith can only show it
self by works, so the draft will surely come if
we do not volunteer, and so prevent it. Hope
that point Is settled now.
Fellow citizens, the democracy at Chicago,
after waiting six weeks TO see whether the war
for the Union was 10 succeed or fail, finally
concluded that it wouid fail, and therefore
they went in for nomination and platform to
make the failure sure thing bv q cessation of
hostilities-an abandonment of the contest At
Baltimore, on the contrary, we determined that
there should be no such thing as failure, and
tie to the last, and Sherman and Farragut have
knocked the bottom out of the Chicago nomi-
nations. [Cheers
The elections in Vermont and Maine prove
that the Baltimore nominations are staunch
and sound. The issue is thus squarely made
up-McUlellan and disunion, or Lincoln and
Union. Have you any doubt OF the result on
that issue! mo, mol Nor do l have any
