Seward addressed his fellow citizens of the town
of Auburn, New York, the evening previous to
the election. The following is the closing portion
of his speech n az
Fellow-citizens, forty-seyen is so near to fifty
that we may use round numbers. FIFTY years
ago. then, l first saw and assembled the Hi dson
river. For forty-six years it was constant
study through the agency of that river, and ar
tiicial extensions of it to the lakes and the Mis-
sissippi, to fortify the Union and develop the
greatness and prosperity of the American peo-
pie. Every succeeding year revealed new, en-
larged and gratifying success OF that policy, UNI
til the year 1860. Then, on my way to the Ma
tional CapitalI descended the Erie canal and the
Hudson river. l surveyed the cities that had
grown up on their banks with wonder, and the
vast commerce that hOated on their waters with
admiration. But then there was the alarm NUT
terings loud and deep, threatening civil war and
revolution. was obliged to try to apprehend,
to grasp this danger if | could, and grasp it with
all its magnitude and terrors. What is revolu-
ton? 1t is the subverson of all this trade, all
this prosperity and all this happiness, and the
substitution in its place of scenes of blood and
universal desolation. | said to myself-is this
inevitable? 1t is in one case, was the answer
The Democratic party through the United
States, which has virtually held the reins ofgov-
eminent for half century has been oyerthrown
the name and in behalf of that party, its disap-
pointed chiefs have refused submission and re-
sorted to civil war. If the Democratic party of
the United States lend themselves directly or
indirectly to that instruction, civil war is inc
vitable, and ferocous, bloody and pervading
revolution is indefinitely fastened upon the IA
ton. That revolution will then end in success
full invasion and pacifcation under a foreign
conqueror. What shall be done in this emer
gency The answer obvious. Prevent it
by appeals to the patriotism of all parties, and
surrender of all their conflicting interests, pre-
judices and passions to the common safety. This
will enable us to prevent revolution If possible
to meet and conquer it if. We must Will these
means prevent it? know not. This is of the
ledge that God retains to himself He in
dictates the means and withholds for the trial of
our virtue the results. But We shall not be long
left without indications of the result. Three
months, six months, twelve months, twenty-four
months, thirty months Will disclose either the
fact that the Democratic masses of the United
States are dislOyal, and that the revolution will
therefore prevail or the fact that the rise to the
true spirit, to the lofty nights of patriotism and
the country will be saved. That time has come
at last. Not in our impotence we
wished, but as soon, we may believe, as was
best for our welfare. The Democratic masses,
diseardng leaders, have attained the hight of
patriotism. They in the field they in
the Cabinet they in the canvass, counsel
ing, voting, fighting, generously, loyalty, nobly,
to make the election of Abraham Lincoln Presi-
dent of the United States from 1851 to 1861 q
fixed irresistible fact. 1t will be done. The
country is saved and there remains nothing left
to complete the great and painful drama but that
which cannot long be delayed, the submission of
the insurgents and thus the restoration to
peace And what peace may we not expect
that to be 4 peace that establishes forever the
practicabilty of free, republican, representative

their harps to the symphony of such peace.
Cop WITH Us.-The following is translation
of dispatch by Publus Lentulus, Pres
ident of Judea, to the Roman Senate, concern
ing Jesus Christ the original of which is pre-
served in the Vatican in Rome:
Conscript Fathers.-There hath appeared in
these our days, and is at present living amongst
us in Judea, man of singular virtue, whom
they call Jesus Christ. OF the Jews he has
been accepted and is believed TO he a great
prophet of truth. but his own followers or disci-
pies adore him being descended from the i'm
mortal gods He raiseth the dead to life, and
heaeth all manner of human maladies and dis
tall and of perfect symmetry of form. His coun-
tenance and air sweet and reverential, such as
the beholders may both love and fear. His hair
is of color that would be difficult to describe
tely-something resembling the color of
the ripe chesnut-from the crown of his head to
his ears, whence downward, it is more orient of
tint, or golden hue, and falls waving and curling
into ringlets and spreads itself in graceful pro-
fusion on his shoulders In the center, from the
forehead to the crown of the head, his hair is
parted by seam partition, and falls over
each ear after the manner of the Nazarenes.-
His forehead lofty and pale, and his face is with
ont spot OF wrinkle beautiful with sliahttinge
of comedy complexion. His nose and mouth
are formed with the utmost symmetry. His
beard is thick and of the same color as his hair,
not of any great length, and dividing in the cen
ter a the chin takes nearly the form of fork.
His look innocent and mature, his eyes blue,
brilliant and serenely beautiful In reproving
he is awful and majestic in admonishing eour-
teous. sweet and persuasive, and in speaking or
acting he is grave, temperate, modest and wise.
1t cannot be remembered that any have ever seen
him laugh, but many have seen him weep In
word he is man who by his exceeding great
beauty and his Divine perfection, SURPRISES the
children of men. l'e
