THE NATIONAL LIFE AT sTAkE.

The COMMUNICATIVE review Of public affairs,
and frank exposition OF the policy of the Ad-
ministration with reference to the restoration
of the Union, contained In the great speech OF
Mr.. Seward, which we publish this afternoon,
mark it as one OF his best efforts. The clear
and cogent reasoning by which this eminent
statesman demonstrates the necessity for, and
wisdom Of, national reconciliation, will not
fail to convince every candid mind: and let us
hope his earnest appeal Will arouse again that
devotion TO the Union which brought us VIC
tory in the late civil war, but which seems
now TO be almost completely merged in mere
party spirit. The immense importance of the
issues before the country cannot be more forci-
bly, stated than in the words of Mr.. Seward:
"The President. Congress, statesmen. and
parties are of no real account, in my estima-
ton, when weighed against the national life
The national life lately hung on the Issue of
victory won in war: il now hangs ON the issue
of reconciliation in peace"
There lies the whole question. Reconstruc-
ton is not wanted because the country, as con-
structed long since, has not been DESTROYED
What then does the nation need The Score
tary of State answers that question rs fol-
lows.
at needs reconciliation, and Just now needs
nothing more Ii needs, moreover, a very lit
tie of this. Ii needs a reconciliation bet ween
the Senators of the United States who are now
and qualified for membership of the Senate,
have been already or may hereat ter be elected
by the people of the several States which were
lately involved in the rebellion Ii needs a re-
Cancellation of the same kind between the
members of the House of Representatives who
are now acting and loyal members already
elected or 10 be elected by the people in the
same before mentioned States. 1t needs lust
ibis congressional reconciliation. and nothing
more"
The Presidents position Is thus defined
That so far and so fast as the Inrepreseut,d
States present themselves in a loyal attitude
by representatives unqurstiOnably loyal, they
are entitled TO representation in Congress
equally with all the other States. and Ius! so
well as If there had been no rebellion"
There are many other points OF interest in
the speech. particularly the review of the
great progress made in the work OF reconciIia
ton and restoration i'll the past year, but want
of space iOIbids even a brief review OF them
We must content ourselves with recommend
ing to our readers a careful peru>aI of this adj
