Mr.. Seward.

MIR. Seward is equally free in the
expression Of his opinion on the pre-
sent status of affairs. He is essen
TALLY conservative, and with the Pre-
sident in his policy. He believes
that the Southern people are acting
in good faith in this work of recon
struction; that they are, from their
past history and life, acting as we
must expect they would act; that,
with their feelings and knowledge,
we could have anticipated nothing
else. They cannot change in day.
Their principles, feelings and beliefs
are the growth of years. He believes
that all will come out right; that the
Union party cannot be destroyed, as
there will always be in this country q
majority of its people in favor of the
unity and integrity of this republic,
and who will find means to make
known their wishes for the mainte-
nance of the Constitution and the
principles upon which this Govern
ment is based. The name of this
party is very immaterial. He says,
that if you look at the class of men
who have been elected rs members of
Congress and Senators from the re-
constructed States, you will find that
they are not secessionists, and never
were; that they fought this heresy in
the beginning, and only went with
their States when they we're forced to
go, citing the examples of Stephens
and many other leading men who
have been elected from the different
States of the South, whose last votes
in their Legislatures were cast against
secession, and whose last speeches
before the war took place were in de-
nunciation Of separation; and that
not one of the old original secession
ists-the extreme fire-eating disunion-
lists of the South-had anywhere
been elected to Office; but that those
who are elected are the prominent
representative men Of the Southern
country, and just such men as we
must expect to be elected to repre-
sent the sentiments of their people;
that they are now working in good
faith to bring their States back to
their old relations with the General
Government, and that they ought to
he admitted to Congress, and that the
test oath ought to be so far revised
and remodelled as to permit these
men to take their seats in Congress.
Gas for me-" says Mr. Seward, 81
am constitutionally one of the hope
full kind. Dean Swift" said he,
'who was something of a statesman.
as we'll as divine, said, that in every
Government there were two classes
of men-those who always believed
in and hoped for the very best, and
those who always despaired of any
good and feared the worst; and that
the truth was about halfway between
the two. l belong, constitutionally,
to the former class; but, sir, my
reason, judgment and experience,
and my trust in God, all lead me to
believe that this nation is but enter
ing upon her great and glorious
career. / have q firm faith in an
over-ruling Providence, that will
bring us through this contest, as it
did through the struggle of arms
just closed.

THe RINDERPEsT IN New YORK. =
The New York correspondent of the
Baltimore Erening transcript writes
The meat-eating public, which, it
must be conceded, form the major
portion of these United States, not to
say anything of the rest Of the masti-
catory. world, received terrible start
this morning on reading the doings
Of the State Legislature in the daily
journals. 1t will be remembered that
mere rumor as to the presence of
trichine in our midst some time ago
had the effect of making pork sell for
a song. Bearing this in mind, what
will be the fate of butchers now wax
ing rich on high prices, when the
people begin to weigh the revelations
of the State Agricultural Society,
which were brought to the notice Of
the State Senate yesterday by Mr.
Cornell. While we have been eagerly
scanning day by day the reports from
abroad as to the spread of the rinder-
pest in our midst, in the heart of one
of the greatest cattle producing Coun-
ties of this State, the fearful disease
has been raging with all the fierce
ness which has characterized its pres
ence in England and on the CONT
nent. The memorial from the Agri-
cultural Society," an association of the
highest intelligence, presented by
Mr.. Cornell, is truly appalling in the
terrible array Of facts about the pest
on which it treats. 1t says:
Should it prevail in this State to
the same extent as in England, it
would result in the loss of at least
S5,000,000. The Society also calls
attention to the Legislature, that
over S1,000,000 cows, worth over
$50, 100000, are owned in the State,
chiefly in the dairy districts; that
the annual value of the butter made
exceeds 100000 and of cheese
So, 600, 600; that q subtle and hither-
to undiscovered disease has existed
for several years past, which causes
abortion among the COWS in the dairy
districts, and is steadily increasing,
over 5000 cows having been lost in
Herkimer Comfy alone in the past
year. To secure thorough and sys-
tematic search into the cause of the
disease and its remedies, the society
asks for an appropriation to pay for
the assistance of n competent botan-
ist, microscopic, and patholo-
gist.

DoN'T DEspA1R.-Thc telegraph
and latest exchanges seem to bring us
bad news. But let us look at it, Arc
men who have known Stonewall
Jackson, Old Mas'r Robert and fight
ing Stuart to whine, like whipped
children, at vote?
The Rump Congress passes the
civil rights bill over the veto bv
thlrty-three to fifteen; Hawley, radi-
cal, is Governor of Connecticut bv
700 majority; and there has been Il
great debate adverse to the hopes OF
the country in Congress -so-caUed
Let us look at the other side. By
rights, the Federal Senate should have
seventy-four members. Two-thirds
thereof would be forty-eights votes.
This Rnmp Senate has fifty-two mem
bers. One was absent Senator
Foot's place not filed. Senator
Wright, of New Jersey, was despe-
rntely i'll, and his colleague, Mr..
Stockton, robbed of his seat New
Jersey was not represented mt all.
Less than three of the constitutional
half of the Senate made of themselves
a bastard two.thirds. How long, is it
thought, this sort of thing will stand
before vote of the people of the
United States?
And Hawley, the radical, is elected
IN Connecticut. Yes, but by ma
jority of $40 in total Of 81, ,S32
with four towns to hear from. The
radical loss is 1000 on their last
gubernatorial vote; the conservative
gain eight Senators and fifteen Rep
resentatives. Surely. if Now Eng
land State can make this close fight,
there is yet some hope
And Congress is worse than ever.
What of that? Was not that Con-
gress elected in war times, under the
pressure of hostile feelings? Does it
represent now the opinion of tho
North? Will it not soon Weld to
another Congress? And arc not tho
signs that shch Congress will undo
the frnntic work OF this?

The Boston correspondent Of the
Springfield Republican writes:
81 am greatly mistaken if the people
ing of three times and out First, John
Tyler Of odious memory, who lived de-
tested and died traitor, presaged his
treason to his country by his perady to
the party and friends to whom, prima-
rily, he owed his elevation. Next, Mil
lard Fillmore, selected as an anti-slavery
man to run on the ticket with General
Taylor, to reconcile the anti. slavery
North to another slave holding Presi-
dent, no sooner found himself in the
Presidential chair than he turned his
back upon the tenets and traditions of
his past life and became at once one of
the most memorable hunkers that ever
sought to strengthen gigantic evil at
the expense of justice and hu nanity
For its pro slavery tendencies, his ad-
ministraton was not one whit behind
that OF any one of his slaveholding pre-
decessors, if he did not take precedence
of them all. His PRONUNCIATION of the
strange doctrine that free public criti-
cism OF his fugitive slave law was con-
structive treason, to be dealt with by
the courts, will not soon be forgotten,
any more than will his later astute dis
covery that the election Of President
from California, with Vice President
from New Jersey, would be such vio-
lation of the rights of the South as
would justify armed resistance, like that
which followed the election of Abraham
Lincoln. And is exceedingly problem
atical whether he has enjoyed one real
lucid moment since he first found him
self In the Presidential chair. Now we
have Andrew johnson, serving out the
unexpired term of the lamented Lincoln,
and after what has transpired of his
policy, he must be sanguine man, and
have faith Of no ordinary capacity, who
can lock the next two years of our ma
tional industry in the face without
alarm. In either of these cases, had
successor to the dead President been
found by placing the names of one hun
dred leading men, that might have been
picked up in any community, or of one
hundred members of Congress even, into
hat, and then drawing one out, the re-
suit could scarcely have been less salts
factory. An instructive lesson suggests
itself, however, in the cases Of John Ty-
Ter and Willard Fillmore After bring
ing the whole power and patronage of
their administrations to bear upon the
issue, with the active and persistent aid
OF their cohorts OF office holders from
Maine to the Gulf, neither of them, when
1t came to the pinch, could rally cor
porars guard of decent men to nominate
them for e-election. In both cases, the
Democratic party applauded the treason,
but In neither was it willing to take the
traitor to it's BOSOM"

A FLANK MovENENT.-A tremendous
effort is being made to induce the gal
liant soldiers and sailors who have fought
for the overthrow Of treason and the

THURSDAY, AUGUST 2s, 1866.
National Labor Convention.

The National Convention OF Laboring
Men at Baltimore is composed OF dele
gates from Workingmen's and Trades
Associations of different States. The
attendance is not large, but nearly all
parts of the county are represented,
there being delegates from as far West as
Iowa, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin
and as far South as Georgia and Ala
hama.
The subject OF trades unions, Of
'istrikes," etc. and the eight hour ques-
lion, will eigage the attention of the
Convention The subject of "strikes"
is an important one TO the workingmen
and If thu Convention shall be able to
make sub regulations,or suggestions, for
the vie and fair settlement OF questions
of wages between employers and en-
ployes, as shall tend to the avoidance
of strikes as ordinarily conducted,
they will do most valuable service to
laoorers, TO say nothing OF employers.
The "eight hour movement" has also
been subject Of much discussion, hith-
erto fruitless OF practical results. A ma
tional organization of the workingmen,
and deliberate discussion Of these and
other subjects relating to their condi-
ton, will add weight to their demands.
As the employers, however are not rep
resented in the Convention, great care
must be exercised that their rights are
not overlooked, and that the discussion
and action are not too one.sided. If
this is borne in mind, this national or
ganization and discussion cannot but re-
suit in correcting false ideas and widen
ing the understanding of workingmen
upon subjects vital to their own inter
ests and welfare, and so in good to all
classes. The Convention may there
fore, be regarded as the commencement
of an important movement in the his
tory Of the industrial classes of the coun-
try.
