From the Vfttstrargh Commercial. AdcfeiiHeof I lie Administration --Speet-U of Gov. Kcwaril. On Saturday evening, at the close of a day devoted torejoieingovcrthe oaptureof Atlanta, the loyal citizens of Auburn proceeded to the residence of Gov. Sew ard and honored him with a serenade. Mr. Seward, in response to to the call of bis fellow citizens, came out into the park and delivered a speech of considerable length and great power, the concluding paragraphs of which we give below: The chief complaint against the Presi dent is that he will not except peace on the basis of the integrity of the Union, without having also the abandonment of shivery. When and where have the in surgents offered him peace on the basis of the integrity of the Union? Nobody has offered it. The Rebels never will offer it. Nobody on their behalf can of fer it. They are determined and pledged to rule this Republic or ruin it.l told you here a year ago that practically sla very was no longer in question—that it was perishing, under the operation of the war. That assertion has been confirm ed. The Union men in all tbo slave States thr* we have delivered are even more nn:«»us than we are to abolish slavery. Witness Western Virginia, Maryland. Missouri, Lousiaua, Tennessee and .Ar kansas. Jefferson Davis tells you tn ef fect the same thing. -He says that it is not slavery, but independence and sover eignty for which he is contending. There is good reason for this. A hundred dol lars in gold is only a year's purchase of the labor of a working man in every part of the United States. At less than half that price you could btiy all the slaves in the country. Nevertheless, our opponents want a distinct exposition of the I'resi derit'svicws op tlie ultimate solution of the slavery quGsthm. • Why do they want it?. For the same reason that the Pharisees and Sadducces ranted au authoritative resolution of the questions of casuistry which aW e in their day. One of those sects believe in the Kingdom to come, and the other altogeth er denied the resurrection of the dead. Nevertheless, they walked together in lov ing accord in search of instruction con cerning the spirit world. "Master," said they, "there . was a man of our na tion who married a wife and died, leaving six brothers. These brothers successive ly married the widowed woman,and after wards died. And last of all the woman died also. In the resurrection, which of the seven shall have this woman for his wife." Now w hat was it to them whether one or all should, have the woman to wife in heaven?- It could be nothing to tho Sad ducees in any case. What was it to any hnnian being this side the grave? What was it to any human being in heaven ex cept the woman in heaven Jitid her seven husbands—absolutely nothing. Vet t hey would have an answer. And they receive one. The answer was that while in this mortal state, men and women should nev er cease to marry and to die; their will be in the resurrection neither death nor mar- rymg, nor giving in marriage. Although altogether unauthorized to speak for tlic President upon hypothetic al questions, 1 think 1 can give an answer upon the subject of slavery at the present day—an answer which will ho explicit, and 1 hope not altogether unsatisfactory. While therchels continue towage war against the (rovernuient of the United States, the miliftry measufes affecting sla very, which have been adopted from ne cessity, to bring the war to a speedy and successful end will be continued, except so far as practical experience shall show that they can be modified advantageously with a view to the same end. AVlien the insurgents shall have disbanded their ar mies and laid down their arms, the war will instantly cease, and then all the war measures then existing, including those which affect slavery, will cease also, and all the moral, econ iIG David 17 David V,.

This week-we are enabled toan nouncc astillgreater victory in Maino 1 It is one of the most hotly contested States in the Union. Two years ago we lost one member of Congress; but now wc have carried all before us, electing the whole delegation to the next Congress, and car- rying the State by an increased majority. Truly the campaign opens auspiciously for the Union cause. tiol'ni; Son) h. At the commencement of the present war, or at least, as soon as the I)cmocrat ic party made up their minds that it was their best policy to acquiesce in the "cocr sion of sovereign states, (against the con stitutionality of which they had often pro tested) tho "one thing needful," they would have us believe was to conciliate thebord r states. "Just pursue a policy" said they, "which will save to us the bor der slave states, and wc will help if need be to whip out the cotton states." The Government did jiursuo such a policy— the border states arc saved to the Union, they have all, except Kcntuckey. abolish ed slavery, and she will soon folloW—and now these same Democrats arc found silent as to the border states; but out spoken and defiant in favor of protecting the reb el states in the enjoyment of the property. "No confiscation" is their cry. They would much prefer assuming the payment of the rebel war debt than have their property sold to pay our debt! What say the peo ple ? ()r;;aiu/.e! Organize!! Wc have retained, in our paper this week the proceedings of the Executive Committee, so that all may become ac quainted with the business which it trans acted. Let the township committees nam ed goto work at once. See to it that all sol diers now in the service that are not alrea dy assessed shall be assessed at once. Re fer to our paper of last week and you will tiud tho law on the subject iu full ; read it carefully, and follow its directions strict ly. In it will be found ample for soldiers voting in almost cvety possi ble contingency Let no time be lost in this matter. Remember this is our final struggle for our nationality. The success of Lincoln secures, beyond a paradven ture the perpetuity of this Union—his de feat foreshadows its desolution. AVe give below an extract from a private letter, on other business, which will explain itecli. The writer is a very reliable man and thoroughly loyal. Tho' of this county has been forsomo time, located in Fairfield countv Ohio :" " llow does old Rutler county stand as to the draft? Is there any talk of resisting it 1 They are threatening a terrible resis tance here. Tho Democrats arc drilling all over this county. Preparing to fight Uncle Sam? They are drilling within five miles of here to-day ! This is one of the strongest Democratic counties iu the the State. If you had heard them talk as I have, you would feel like resisting too—not Uncle Sam, but the would be Democracy ! 1 know of- Republicanshere who are expecting to have their buildings fired every night! The Democracy swear that Abe Lincoln cannot make them swerve for a moment. A Union man, who was an excellent citizen, was shot dead in his own yard, in the presence of his wife and children, a few miles from here, by a Butternut t I saw tWte crowd into which the Butter/iut'g shot at a returned soldier, and then threw a stone at him, injuring another niau in the head !" This is the county in which Dr. E. B. Olds resides, who was a prominent mem ber of the Chicago Convention. Like our neighbor of the Herald he publishes a peace organ. For about thirty years, heedited a Whig organ, but at tho outbreak of the rebel lion ho turned Copperhead. During the fall of lKf!2. when the rebels were threat ening Cincinnati, Gov. Todd was trying to rally the Militia to defend tho State, Dr. I>. B. Olds took the stump in favor of the invaders, and taught (he Democra- I ey of Fairffeld county I ,that the rebels were but seeking an honorable redress ibr the j mauy prongs inflicted upon them by the I Abolition army I At this juhcturc Gov. ! Todd had him arrested and imprisoned, | until the danger was over, when lie was 1 released. Since then, he has been per mitted to make his onslaught upon the Government unmolested. Tho tenden cies of his teachings may be gathered from the above extract. lie and his fol lowers. with missiles of death in their Iliads,pointed at loyal men,are ".linking un remitting cries for peace! peace !!peace !!! •only give us peace !" Copperheads nil over the country manifest the same spir it according to their relative strength ! The Government has quite recently seiz ed sventy-six thousand dollars worth of arms and fixed ammunition going to the P'-are fraternity in Indiana alone! It is too late to deceive the American pec; !c with such hypocritical yelping when the insurrectionary spirit found in the North is found in the pence (action. Tlie DrnH. The d-raft is now being made all over the country, to fill up the balance of the five hundred thousand uien called for about two months ago. We would have much prcfcrcd that a draft had been avoi ded if possible. And why wrs it not avoided? simply because all were not in fa vor of seeing our armies filled up at this time. Tho Democracy seemed, as if by instinct, to understand that the defeat of the Union armies in the present campaign, was necessary, in order to secure t/i ir tri umph at the approaching election; but if the armies should be filled by fresh re | omits, there was no power in rel eldoni to ! resist their onward march. This must be i prevented, if possible, and hence, as it I would seem, by a concerted a rang* ment. As soon as Mr. Lincoln's proclamation was issued. Copperhead politicians and papers throughout the land, declared that tocar- Iry on the war longer was •• butchery be cause wc were undertaking to'do an im possibility, and that, therefore, no man who cared for his honor would have any thing to do with the war ! They further more. declared that the draft could not he no Democrat would p> in to the army—they would die at home first iVc., and in this way they cultivated a great distaste for the service, on the part of many Democrats who misrht have gone into the service. Republicans had on ev ery previous occasion, filled four-fifths of the respective calls. This weakened their party at home, as they were deprived of their right of suffrage while in theservice. They, therefore, determined that they would not further pursuo this course of action, for the Democrats instead of sus taining the army like loyal citizens, sym pathise strongly with "Mr. Jefferson Da vis," as wc see him styled in the last //' rtihl of this place. The Republicans realizing the necessity of filling up our armies, said to Iheir Democratic neigh bors, come and let us make an effort to avoid the draft, by at once making a uni ted effort to arouse the young men of the country—let us give them a moderate bounty, and in cv.-ry way possible encour- ! age the filling up of our armies. No said they, we will not give another man, nor another dollar to this war. Rut, said the Republicans,you kuow that.the Govern ment will have the men some how. The only thing that wc have to decide is, wheth er wc will furnish our quotas voluntarily, or be drafted—a draft too will often work great,hardship. To this Mr. Copper head replies, we aru not afraid of the hardships of the draft—wc defy Lincoln and all bis miuions—they can't enforce the draft. We were informed by one at least, of tlioir leading men, that they would bo organized in every loyal district in the Union, to resist the draft, and every other Federal mandate! It is this we say, that has couduced so power- the present state of things. In some districts Republicans volunteer ed and obtained good local bounties and left their deluded Democratic neighbors to take care of themselves, as best they could. In other districts they determin ed to await the draft in patience and share the fate of their neighbors. In the mean time. the idea of resistance became rath er obsolete, and those deluded men, who a few weeks ago, believed their leaders when they told them that they could not be " coerced" into the service, begun at last to be somewhat exercised as to their situation ; and some of them (his heard almost aloud to exclaim, •' Men aud breth ren what shall we do to bo saved !" In vain they called on their leaders for in struction ; there was but two ways loft them either to submit quietly to their fate or "lake for Canada, —those who were un incumbered, in many instances, choeetlie latter alternative, but others could not do this, they lnd property, had families and business relations upon which they oould not turn their backs. Thus many a man who was in easy circumstances lias pro cured his release f'ron the present con scription at great expense. In this way many are erippud, financially, tor long year's to come. This state of things is, therefore, properly ehargable upon Mr. Copperhead ! Was he tho Only go ilk man that suffered, the matter w mid be the less; still we heartily sympathize with many oven of this clas who had allowed party likes and dislikes to stand in the way. both of their interest and duty. ('onfedfrn)? Dosnocrtjcy. The campai-n of this party was fully ! inaugurated in this county on Saturday i the third. By an arrangement of it? lea 1- ! era with the "Brass Band." who assembled' . in front of the building where soljms were j.to deliberate, as to the host lafc'hod of de | fenting the only Union party Tn the coun try. The attention of the citizens wasar ! rested by the band striking up '• The Star spangle 1 banner" andnstheeventngzeph i yrs bore the harmonious sounds of the an- I eieiit mcl.ijy along the breeze, s 112 the bruve." AVe felt pained that this should be the signal for the party who met in conven | tion and v-1 publicly with ths known j enemies of our country ! both secret and i pen! The audience was edified by w i oral speeches one of which was made by j Mr. Walker, a newly pledged Copper j I'.ead—the son of a loyal sire. Ileiscer : tainly an exception to Solomon's rule ! which is that if you bring up a child in J the. way he should go. when he is old he j will not depart from it,. A second mcet i ing of this Democratic revival took place I at the Lowry House, on Tuesday evening, !he Oth inst. In fortunately for us. we were not present. AVe have learned from j what we believe to be good authority, that the principle part of the evening was spent is speech leaking. That of Kd. M. Hredin. Esq.. wa.j considered a fair slate j mcnt of the issue between the parties.— ] Fie insisted, first, that if the Ilebs have ! beaten us. it is necessary for us to make I pen#o; second, if we have beaten them, it will he magnanimous in us toofTertbem peace; and. third, if i! is a drawn battle so far, then it is evident that we cannot overcome them, and therefore we should abandon the attempt No specific terms of surrender spoken of.and of course, an unconditional surrender was understood, 'flic great war man of former days, also made a peace speech—-be who declared in Prospect that lie felt himself criminally I guilty for h tvinga.lhere I so closely to the I .South, and asked pardon for what he j had done ; that he bated slavery as hclia j ted the devil! —who made similar avow | als all over the country. He perhaps, : has influenced more men togo to the ar my, by saying "go boys" than any other man in the county ! Sonic that he urged off arc filling a soldier's grave; others are wounded, and many are still in the ranks. We say he did right, but how inconsis tent with his present conduct ! No mis takes made by the Administration could, in the least, mitigate the crime of trea son. It is in vain, however,that we look now for a weid of censure for treason, it is not found in the Chicago platform ; nor is it found in the declarations of their speakers! It appears indeed paridoxical that Lewis Z. Mitchell. Esq. who but a short time since, was exhorting people all over the country togo to war, and pleading after the manner of a Methodist Preacher at a camp meeting. (whose mannev of speak ing he has no doubt adopted from his long connection with that church) could now see nothing wrong but the stunning blows the army is striking, which ho helped to create. Then it was war! war!! war!!! Now it is peace! peace!! peace!!!.— Then it was,-hang T efT. Davis and support Mr. Lincoln; now it is hang Abe. Lin coln and support Mr. Jefferson Davis. Then the infernal rebels brought on the war; now it was the Blackjßepublicans ! This is the position assumed by Mr. Mitchell. If he has lossed confidence in the Administration, wo would like to IHIOW at least, how the rebels appear in his eyes, so faultless now. He seemed quite dis pleased that the President had ordered a salute to be fired in honor of our great victories in Mobile bay, and at Atlanta, and presumed that one would also be fired in Hell! AVe were indeed astonished to hear of these treasonable avowals; and thei.more so to know that they took place iu the ''Lowry House. "AVe were well aware that Col. Lowry had become a Demo crat, that his house, in addition to being a house for the entertainment of "strangers and travelers," was also a place for the meeting of those Copperheads who pro fur spending their evenings in political condolations over their fallen political for tunes, or in their mutual congratulations over the misfortunes of their country: all this we we did think that the Col. recognizing his obligations to many Republicans, who through evil as well as good report, stood by him and his house; should not have thus permitted its dese cration and, if he had forgotten all else, wo think heshould have had more respect for the memory of his old friend. Col. Sullivan, who had even risked his standing in his own party to sustain him—but alas! how we have been disappointed. In these re marks we mean nothing disparaging of (.VI. Lowrv as a landlord, nor his house as a Hotel. This movement has finally assumed the haj oof a Democratic Club, and h ilds fin ill in Winner's Hall, where a mourn ers bench is provided and where it is said, Mr. Mitchell is engaged as an eihorter; wo expect to hear of great results atten ding the progress of this protracted meet ing. 4 ommlitcf TtoetSng.

It astonishes mc very much, to hear that some of the mon, are writing home such discouraging news; that young man who writes home that he is starving half of his time, and has to buy his grub from the negroes, is very tired of the service; and like many of hi* stripe, would about as leave be some where else as here—you I can tell that, when he writes for his f'ath- j er to do all in his power at the election I this fall against the Lincoln government. | 1 had a chat with him this morning; lie j told me if ho Was out of the service, lie j would not care the Union was in h—l. j Now, 1 am sorry to say, that there are a i few such men here; but thank God they j are scarce —it can plainly be 6eeu, that ; the most of them are at home by looking ; over the vote on the amendments to the I Pa.

The flag i too, proclaims the conviction of a vast i majority of these soldiers and of their feilow citizens at home, that the es timable benefits represented by ihe.ie ; ideas can be most surely realized by | ratifying at the ballot boxes, in No ; vembcr, the nominations made at i Baltimore in June. In my judgment : this is most certain, and I rejoice in ! the belief that as soldiers of Mass | achusctts and Ohio are found side by j side in conflict on htefield,so willciti -1 zens of those States be found zealous ly vicing with each other in support iof the same cause at the polls. Nor | can I doubt the result in all the loy |al States. Like zeal for union and; j freedom will inspire like efforts, and. i these efforts in a l.irg • majority of i them, may not hope in all, will insure the triumph of the Union and ; freedom. With that triumph the last ! of the rebellion will disappear, and' under that flag will return peace and i liberty to bless the Republic undivi | tied and indevisable. But this, fel low citizens, is not an occasion for. such speaking. Another engagement also requires my presence elsewhero at this time. I have come before you. indeed, not so much to speak myself as to introduce anothor to, w hose voice you will gladly liste". My friend Gov. Andrew, of Massa chusetts, is here worthy of his State ; worthy of the unanimous nomination for re-election, which he has just re-- ceived, and worthy of the honor in which all friends of Union and free dom hold him, he will say a few words iij behalf of Massachusetts. Permit me to introduce him.
