felt that he "had an elephant on his hands,

all SO much honor.
Mr.. Stewards political career stretched
over period OF nearly forty years, occu-
pied with the discussion and settlement OF
the most vital and exciting questions, both
by war and legislation. Henas been charged
with having no political convictions, but,
says Mr.. LOthrop, an examination OF his
public career seems to prove exactly the
contrary.
From first to last, continues his most
recent biographer, he was consistent
Whig. He believed i'll and advocated a
protective tariff, internal improvements,
and all the doctrines wbich formed the
policy of that party.
His hostility To slavery began with his
life in Georgia and what he saw there
while be was yet a mere lad. His oppo-
sitiou never ceased so long as slavery in
any form was a political question, and he
had the satisfaction, as Secretary OF State,
of signing his name not merely to tile
proclamation of emancipation, but to both
the constitutional amendments which Sc
cured to the colored people of this coun-
try complete civil equality with the whites.
He was never, however, an abolitonist.
He was steady aud persistent advocate
OF gradual aud compensated emancipation.
rom his snort llTcau the South lie raaliZed
more fully, perhaps, than any Northern
statesman the enormous difficulties and
emoarrassments which the sudden and vio-
lent freeing of the slaves would bring
at the South-the destruction of property
and the temporary ruin of all industries
which such an emancipation would be
likely to cause; and ne had, therefore, a
compassion for the people of that region
which people of ne North could hardly un-
derstand.
Mr.. Seward, at the close of his public
life, set an example which other great
men have since emulated. He took trip
around the world. The Mikado of Japan
unveiled his face to him in a friendly
audience, an honor said To have been never
before bestowed on Il foreigner, and the
Prince Regent OF China rose from sick
bed to receive him.
