The time has come for testing the cour
age, constancy, party statinchness, fideli
ty to assoclates,—or to express it aid in
one word,—the ms allaess of all true Dem
ocrats. This is no time for any Demo
crat, least of all Democrats who accepted
Mr. Greeley by, the compulsion of party
discipline, to 'flinch. The. soldier who
throws aw# his musket and takes to 'his
heels, at the first puff of adverse fortune,
lacks that resolute stcadineSs which is the
first element of manhood. If, in the va
rying turns of war, we happa to lose an
unportant battl,i, it is manly and soldier
like to retreat in good order, with lines
unbroken and disciplined step, to a posi
tion where the reserves can be brought up
and preparation made for again meeting'
the enemy with unquailing hearts and in
domitable courage. No matter whether
we originally.approved or disapproved ofj
the gtounil selected for the coattail. No

give them a temporary check. The surg
ing tide may be dashed back fur the mo
ment, but it will continue to rise, and yet
engulf the barriers that opposed it. t t .
It wonld be absurd for Democrats to
slacken their energy now, even if they
have no longer any hopes of electing Mr.
Greeley. Political influence does not de
pend upon the possession of offices. A
powerful and determined Opposition is the
most powerful and efficient means of enfor
cing the responsibility of an Administra
tion.
A government is generally reckless and
corrupt just is proportion as the organiz
ed opposition to is feeble and inefficient
Political' and official rottenness is sure to
prevail when a party is so strong that it
stands in so felt' of its opponents. It is
mainly tor this reason that the Federal
Government has long reeked with the
foulest corruption. This is why the Tam

Ideal elements and forces are vastly
more important and potential than men
are apt to suppose. Force is back of
form : The soul rules the. bay. The idea!
is the vitality of the. institution. Every
persm is surrounded by en atmosphere
match sensitive orzmizations perceive,
and which, though inviable to. tha eye,
acts as an attractive or repulsive fire.: up-1
on all with whom he conies iu dontaxt.—
The disposition, the purpose, the morali-!
V, all the interior and potential;elements
of being, reveal themselves in this etheri
al atmosphere which seems to radiate
fruit the personality, and acts as a perpet
ual warning or invitation to all who come
within its range. audiences and organi
zations have au upper. an invisiide side.
which infallibly rviir,senis their interior
purpose, spirit, and essential character.—
In the study of a party or movement it Is
nut enough to look as ita measures, and
weigh its acts, and sea what programme
it oilers for approval ; it is not einnyli to
look at it upon the user sidz, however

A striking feature of thin political eani
rap: is the feet that the AcliniuiLitration-
IstS coufine themselves to the lower side
of the greatluestiou at issue. We are
struck with the materiality of their whole
=pullout. What have they to say? SUn

the debt has been dimiai bed—the Ku-

•the other day - , "We can't afford to elect
iforaeoGreeley,for Ihnitwell has his hand
on every .National bank-in the conntry,
and a defeat of Grant might. break every
one of them" This is the reason 'why
tdrant should. bedefeatol.-

oat libertiea nuless he is defeated. But
these think 4horn the level to vfkich the
party has sunk; and the low Material
ground nponswhinh it - rests its justifies=
tiOn and bases its claims. •
Our criticism of the Anntinistration is
not confined to this lower Bide, to which
it 3 apologists and defenders's° persistent.'
We do' not step - with pointing
out its discovered cOrruptious,its di:.4grace•
ful diplomacy, its deplorable civil service,
its infractions:of the Constitution,, its.
Military character uid Usiirpations, its
criminal policy - towards the, South, and
its blighting effect upon; the commerce
and. the.great industries of the country.
Important and vast as tbead.thiugs ,are
they constitute the nutletside of, our att.:
tional affairs, and. yield' in _interest,
moment to moral elementa antt;isoCis-M'r-
ations. We insist upon haling at the
Administration upon its upper side. how
does it stand related to the great Repub
lican idea? What, is its spirit, its mor
ale? What is its atmos,phere ? What in
fluence does it put forth These invisi
ble moral elements reveal its trim charac 7
ter. And it is when:we look at it from
this upper side that we discover how base
and bail it is. Never before have we had.
an Administration so inhospitable to
thought, so intellectually n natt motive end
depressing as this. It has not a first-rate
intellect in its Cabinet or Departments,
and has not yet produced a state paper of
the least account. It has repulsed every
approach to ttafesmanship, and given the
first places to mere party managers and
political hacks. It has shown no particle
of sympathy with hurium progress, and
the sublime humanity which was the in
spiring soul of theAnti-Slavery move

:,sphere of Grantism is its

look at it upon the upper- side discovers
its character. It is this concentrated es•

And it is ja.,t here on the upper side

Hon. Wm. H. Seward, died at his resi
dence in Auburn, N. Y., last Thursday
afternoon. Mr. Sewtrd's health hai been
failing for some time, and he, himself,
was aware of the rapid declination of his
phySical powers. His mind, however, was
bright and• vigorous, and' he engaged in
literary labors until a very short period.
before his death. Since his return froth
his journey around the world le.linscon
fined himself principally to his residence,
whom he engaged himself in writing
memories of his busy and eventful life, as
well as a narrative -of his recent tour.
Latterly his system became so weakened
that he became bedfast, and, gradually
sinking, he breathed his last at twenty
minutes.past three o'clock. Thursday af
ternoon.
lion. William 11. Seward was born in
Florida, Orange county, New York, May
16, 1801, and was the son-of Judge Sam
uel S. Seward„ -He, .had three brothers,tho om 11e4iian J. and'
est, ,Ceorge W. geward, resides in Georguti.
lie had iilsso two sisters, both of whom
have been dead for some years. Gradua
ting at Union College, Schenectady, in
1520, be studied law under John - Doer
and Ogdep Ilolfman, and was admitted to
the bar in 182 - 2. In the fdllowing yrarhe
renthved to Auburn, where he has resided
ever since, and entered upon his career as
a laWyer. Ile soon rose in his profession,
and made his mark avail able and-.thor
ongh jurist.
In 1810 he was elected to the. State
Senate for four years, and in 1834 he was
nominated on the Whig ticket fur Gover
nor, but was defeated. He was again
nominated for the same office in IS3B,aud
being elected, he entered upon the dis
charge of his duties in 1839. Durtn,g his
administration he devoted himself vivith
energy to the prosecution of internal ins-
Provements, and to reforming the public
school system of the State. Mr, Seward,
held the °flier. of (1,,, , rn0r for four years,
and on the - eet . piratnin - tir Itii — samfd terar
he declined a re-election, and. returned to
the practiee of his profession. inMarch,
18-19, he was chesen 'United States Sena-.i i
tor, and held the position until he was in
ited to enter the Cabinet of Mr. Lincoln
in Mareh, 1811.
During his Senatorial career, Mr. Se
ward became the acknowledge leader of
the new Republjean party, and fur many,
Wars he was the formust man in its raiis.
On the of- October4B:lB, at Roches
ti r. New York, he delivered a EliCedi, in
Willa he laid. down so thoroughly and
clearly the principles involved in. the "ir-•
conflict" between freedom and
slavery, that it became' the key-note to
that conflict until the war of words Was
ended by`an appeal to the sword. When
the National Republican .Contention as--
Sea - tilled at Chicago ut May, 480, he was
rte:
ballot he received 1;34 cots, Mr. Lincoln
receiving but 102, tho whole number be
ing 4G5, and 233 necessary, to a choice.
On the second ballot the vote stood for
Seward, 1811, ant. for Lincoln, 181; on
the third balint,ll.ir Stiward, 180, and for
Lincoln, 2311, within 21 votes of the
number reouired.
-On the inauguration of Mr. Lincoln lie
received the first position in the Cabinet,
and one fur which he was eminently fit
ted. His course as Secretary of State is
still fresh in the memory of his country
men, and his efficient services in the 'con
duct of our foreign relations had no small
effect upon the grand result of the war.
But for his e.a , acity and good manage
enent
there 'attie doubt that a foreign!
war would have been precipated upon tifel
country when such an event would have',
=Moo btrdiy gecureil the independence of
the Southern States. His condUctiA thel
oase of Masiin and Slidell ; was marked by
broad and statesmanlike views, and cal- 1
ciliated to advance his reputation as a
diplomatist— • . '
On October 12, 18131, Messrs. Mason
and Slidell - embarked for Europe, the for
mer as Confederate commissioner to Eng:
land, and the latter in a like capacity to
France. On the 24th the party arrived at
Havana, where they embarked, on No-
vember 7, on the Revel English mail
steamer Trent. On the following day,l,
Admiral, then Captain Wilkei, in com-1
mand of the United States' man-of-War
San .Thcintit, overhauled the Trent in the
Bahama Channel, and seized the two
commissioners and their secretaries, 'in
defiance of the protest of the commander
tic the Trent and of the English • mail
agent. Commander Williams. Admiral
Wilkes carried.- his prisoners to New.
York, whence they were removed to Fort
Warren, in the harbor of Boston, by or
der of Secretary Seward. t
Finding a war with Great Britain the .
inevitable result of 4 pQr.i : i,bu l e,,, in hold
ing these persons, MA 'justly- foreseeing
its disastrous effect to the cause of the
nation at such a time, although the gen
eral drift .of popular sentiment to the
Otiited•States was at first in favor of
holding on to the tour rebel diplomats,l
Secretary Seward contrived; by his adroit:
ness, to satisfy the sense of national hon-1
or, and, by the course of his argument,
even placed the British (fat - eminent in• •a ,
humiliating poSition on the question ofl
international - -obligations to respect ' the l
