H The readers OF the New York
Tribune have at last an opportunity Of
being edited. improved. and. we hope.
converted from the error OF their ways,
by the daily pursual of the editorials of
the leading and loyal newspapers of the
South. That paper now devJtes several
columns OF each days issue TO the repro-
duction OF the editorials Of sterling and
patriotic Southern journals. which are
distinguished for Their sincere and disin
terested loyalty TO the laws and Constitu-
ton Of the United States. The edItori-
ais which are being republisbed By the
Tribune are une1ceptiousble in tone and
temper. and, il inwsrdly digested, will do
the disunionists who pstronize the Trib-
une a vast amount Of good.
The real object Of the Tribune bovev.
or, is to excite the prejudices Of the Nor
tbern people against the President, BY
showing that his course meets the APP
prov.l of the leading Southern journals.
1t does not deny that most loyal and Ps~
triotic spiri, pervades the editorials which
it publishes. but they are the production
of Southern gentlemen. and therefore 10
lie suspected and Reproduced. Really we

SECRETARY SEWARD.


There is not. perhaps. a diplomatol
statesman Of any country at thi,
time. who occupies higher position thar
the American Premier. Whatever may
be bis real merits. it is well known, be
commands the respect Of the world.
Secretary Seward is not fanatic and
and never was. He is man of grasping
intellect and lofty ambition. His mind
ia too well balanced and his craftsmanship
is Of that type which always brings small
ideas into complete subordination TO great
ones. Without him the Republican party
would never have gained anything. He
may be said to have been the soul, the
safe guard and the anchor of that party.
Naturally inclined to fanaticsm, or at
least, numbering among its adherents a
large number Of fanatics, it required all
the conservatism and sound sense and
sbrewd policy Of Mr.. Seward to prevent
the party from drifting into an untenable
position.
He has not lost his power over that
party. He is still its head, and if fanat,
les take up wild idea that Mey are the
Republican party, and can rule out its
founder and benefactor, they will be the
most crnsumate fools of whom history
gives us any account.
We, therefore, regard Stewards un.
qualified advocacy OF President Johnson'S
policy as an earnest that the bulk OF the
Republican party will also sustain him.
Seward could never be brought to favor
the wild and and destructive lherories of
the Radicals. He is too great a states
man and too sensible a man for that, and
he will carry With him the best portion Of
his party.
Mr.. Delano, Republican representa-
i've, in speech before the House, thus
puts the case; Suppose you establish.
SO lar as this House can settle the ques-
ton. that the insurgent States are dead
and are to be governed indefinitely as
Territories. Do you expect a united Re.
publican party upon that decision ? III
you do. yonr hopes are as delusive as the
baseless fabric Of a vision. You will
find. sir. a united South. united "Cop>
per head" party, and divided Republi>
can party. You will 90 into the next
Presidential canvass. possibly, in this
condition"
Ills quite evident that if Mr.. johnson
has split with the Republican party, Mr..
Seward goes with him. and will carry
enough Of that party to secure its defeat.
But the fact is Seward and johnson are
still the real heads Of the real Repub'
lican party. Sumner and Stevens are
the leaders of a faction whose intolerant
and impractical ideas must cause its over
throw.
We Of the South can trust such a man
as Seward. Il is true our political no.
tons and feelings have heretofore been as
wide apart as the poles on the subject Of
slavery; but that is dead issue. and
common sense as well as common policy
oug,h to prevent the South from leopard
Eing her future prosperity and status by
any attempt to revivify an issue that is
inevitably defunct and can do no earthly
good On the living and practical
.sues of the day. we. will find Seward
md johnson statesmen who will not frit
ter away the liberties Of the people or
plunge the country into another war.
From their political wisdom and irmness,
We have much to hope HIS. Standard.
