Mr. Seward and the Chicago Nominations.
[From the Albany Evening Journal.]
The following statement will surprise no one but Gov. Seward's enemies:
"If any one doubts the devotion of Gov. Seward to the principles of the Republican party and his abnegation of self, it is only necessary for them to read the following from the Auburn Daily Advertiser of Saturday. Governor Seward himself wrote the short leader which announced the result at Chicago, and it is characteristic of the man. We speak advisedly when we say that the following not only speaks the sentiments of Gov. Seward, but that it was written by him."—[N. Y. Courier & Enq.
"We place the names of Lincoln and Hamlin at the head of our columns with pride and satisfaction. No truer exposition of the Republican creed could be given, than the platform adopted by the Convention contains. No truer or firmer defenders of the Republican faith could have been found in the Union, than the distinguished and esteemed citizens on whom the honors of the nomination have fallen. Their election, we trust, by a decisive majority, will restore the government of the United States to its constitutional and ancient course.—Let the watchword of the Republican party, then, be Union and Liberty, and onward to victory."—[Auburn Daily Advertiser.
