several Democrats with whom he has been acting,
Seward said that to conde the responsibilities Of the
government to the Democratic party in its present
condition would be to continue and perhaps increase
the lamentable political excitement which has delayed
the complete restoration of the Union. The result Of
the election if favorable to the candidates of our
CHOICE will prepare the popular mind to expect now
what it has heretofore objected to, namely the most
practicable and easy solution OF the national embar-
rassments Seward ended by stating that throughout
his fe he had been an advocate Of universal suffrage
for exile emigran and slave, and had given to those
classes the ,nort and patronage which the Gonsltu
ton permits and ,,llows.

PROF D1M1rRY.-The New Orleans Republican, il
its issue of the 18th ut, in article headed " Chastt

causc, but familiar and vulgar criticism of a speecl

not be aware of the fact that he HOW occupies the i'm
