MR. SEWARD ON THE STUMP.
The success of Mr. Chase in Ohio has filled the hearts of the abolitionists, alias black republicans, with joy. The Tribune, Post, and Times, in the city of New York, are full of exultation. The Albany Argus suggests that Mr. Seward would prefer that his organs should not be quite so jubilant over Mr. Chase's triumph; it might result in an unpleasant competition for the honor of upholding the black republican flag in 1856. The Argus alludes to the fact that Mr. Seward is about taking the "stump" in New York, as follows:
"The triumph of Chase in Ohio, and the prospect of his becoming the leader of the sectionalists, make it necessary for Mr. Seward to look after his laurels. Hence he has determined to place himself before the people, and take the command in person of his troops in this State. He will hold his first review at the capitol this evening, when it is expected particular attention will be given to mustering the new recruits into service. It is perhaps wise in the distinguished senator to teach these new soldiers thus early under whose banner they have enlisted."
