MIR. SEWARD AND TAmMANY HALL.

NAAN' SA4 W Ahh AND TAmIANK HALL.
Mr.. Seward has the most illimitable faith
in the Virtue, he says, and in the good sense,
he says, of the American people. About
his confidence in their illimitable gulIibility
he says nothing, in public, but every now
ana then he gives striking proof of it. II
is month or so, more or less, since he was
at Auburn talking about the Democracy in a
way that may have served Governor Morton
as model for his recent Indictment of that
party. On the Fourth of July we actually
find him in Tammany among sachems and
braves with all their war paint on. A Black.
loot medicine-man in Sioux war council
would have as good right to expect cor
dial reception. But no reflections of that
sort trouble Mr.. Seward Memory NAV be
his enemy; it is hope he relies on always.
Tammany, which during the war kept Mr.
Chanler and Mr.. Benjamin Wood in Con.
gress, Mr.. Seward praises sweetiy for its un.
taltering devotion to the Union, and he calls
1t a true Union League. For proofs of this
character he wisely goes to the pictures on
the society's letter of invitation. He was
highly pleased, he said, with the vignette
and with the associated hues with which it
was colored-namely, the red, white, and
blue. He liked the temple of liberty. he
liked the eagle of the American continent
which protected it, he liked the ships and
railroads indicative of progress and pros.
perity. Also, with that facility of being
pleased which is peculiarly his own, he de.
lights in the "signifcant conjunction of
dates, !" 1866 and 1776; unabashed he goes
on to subtract one from the other and the
difference he finds to be ninety - ninety
years, however. The criticisms on the
Tammany letter-paper are new, the other
half of the letter is old. The South. ever
since 81, has had continuing right to send
loyal representatives to Congress, and Con.
gress is bound to admit them-that is Mr..
Stewards belief, and it was well known to
be his belief before he thought it necessary
to go into Tammany Hall 1t is kind in Mr..
Seward, and right, to wish to get the
Sontherners into the Union as soon as posi-.
BILE; but he might better have left it to Tam.
many alone to have II political party all
ready for them as soon as they get back.
Though he join in that labor, it will not be
for him to reap the reward; neither the South
nor Tammany has his convenient memory.

THE COLORED CONVENTION IN NORTH
CAROLINA

The Convention Of Colorcd Men, which has just
adjourned in Raleigh, N. c., chiefly concerned itself
with the formation Of Freedmen's Educational As
ISOLATION, Of which James Il. O'iIara was elected
President. This object OF the Convention, we are
glad TO know, has received the support of many Of
the leading white men. Gov Worth, having
learned that It's actions were patriotic, prom
ised TO attend, and letters approving OF the
plan to educate the blacks were written by
ex.Gov Holden, w. A. Graham, B. +. Moore, Judge
Bragg, ID. NJ. Barrnger, Gen. T. II. Carr, and Others
But the Convention wisely did not content itself
with the mere effort to establish schools 1t adopted
an address to the people Of the State, elsewhere
printed, in which the freedmen briefly and modestly
stnte their grievances, chief Of which is taxation
without representation. With this appeal no
sympathy has been expressed by any Of the
white men, il we may judge by tho reports
of the Convention in The Raisigl Standard.
Ex.Goy. Holden, who addressed tina Convention
on the 9Th inst, gave much wise counselj but his
lberality ended too soon. " He urged the colored
people to keep out politics. 1t WEAKNESS TO

Political equality is the glory ofAmercan citizenship

THE CANVASS IN OUR STATE.

The discussion before the people Of our State OF
the issues involved in Fall Election is proceeding
with marked animation and in eminent good temper.
The meetings Of both parties are generally large,
proving deep, Prevailing interest, and a general
willingness 70 hear both sdes The speakers are more
numerous and their addresses are Of graver nature
than is common in other than Presidential contests
and the great majority listen TO elaborate and recon-

desire to discern and accept the right II there be any
one who dstrusts the capacity Ct the integrity Of the
masses, and is hence inclined to look with dsfsvor on

and his faith in the people strengthened by weeks
devotion TO the canvass now proceeding.
On what issue does the contest mainly hingei
Clearly, Oh the assumption on one side, and denial
on the other, Of subsistng, inherent right in those
so lately in arms against the Union TO full share in
the present government of the Union. Those who,
two OF three years ago. asserted that the Republicans
had made war on the South, and that Lincoln is as
much traitor as jeff Davis now, with perfect
sistency, insist that the Rebels, from the moment
that they were compelled by Grant and Sherman to
lay down their arms had perfect right 10 resume all
the power and privileges in the Union which they re.
nouneed and relnquished by secession and treason.
For, while they do not usually say this in 80 many
words, they unmistakaby imply it by insisting that
he States lately in revolt have the right to be repre-
sented In Congress and TO such local rule as they
may prefer. Our Democrats and Conservatives mean

We have more bad news from Louisiana. II is said
that Gov. Weiss intention TO remove the sherfis
from Office for refusing to discharge their duties, will
be resisted by the Rebel secret organizations, who
will attempt to overpower the military and
renew the massacres Of Unionists. An in
stance is given in our special dispatches, in which
United States soldier Col Frisbie has been ordered
out of one of the Parishes the planters declaring that
they will have no Yankees in their community. Gen.
Sheridan has had experience Of what these desperate
men will dare, and if the Government will support
him. as il is bound TO do we have no fear but that he
will deal promptly with this new plot of rebellion.
