Hon. Owen Lovejoy was asked what he thought of Senator Seward's speech, noted somewhat for its conciliatory tone. We want, said Lovejoy, no Melancthons now; we want Martin Luthers. We want no one to write essays upon the Union and the sin and disasters of secession, but some one to throw the inkstand right at the Devil's bead. --N. Y. Times, Jan. 16.

On Thursday, 11th of April, telegraphic despatches had been received, which appeared on the bulletins of the Mercury and Courier, at Charleston, S. C., stating that but three States in the North--Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Ohio--had responded to Old Abe's call for troops; that Old Abe had been poisoned, and that Seward held the reins of Government. Another despatch subsequently arrived, which recited that Maine and Vermont had refused to send troops out of their States. When those announcements were read by the people, who assembled round the newspaper offices, there were loud demonstrations of applause. But those remarkable flattering despatches did not stop there; they were followed by others, which declared in large capitals on bulletin boards of those journals, that the famous New York Seventh Regiment, with another corps from Boston, tendered their services to Jefferson Davis to fight against the Black Republicans of the North; and that they had chartered a vessel, an

Peace Society, willing to compromise to the last possible interpolation of the Constitution, to a gathering of armed men, backing up courage by cash, and coming together with a union of the purse and the sword, which is to be one of the most remarkable chapters that history ever wrote. The Macaulay of American annals will record that in one brief, earnest, intense ten of days, the chain of party melted; the organization of party shivered; the leaders of opposing opinions were as brethren; Seward, Douglas, Dix, even Caleb Cushing, wrote a full acquittance of past political strife, and declared that the life of their political doctrine was the preservation of the country's honor. Who shall ever despair of a nation after this? If from our quarrels, our pale compromises, our bondage to the Exchange and to the warehouse, from all the indolence of prosperity, such a transformation to the camp of a brave and united soldiery, a close and compact counsel — the purse inverted over the soldi

itary cloak! Have mercy, Jeff. Davis! Soft — I did but dream. [Loud knocking heard at the door.] Who knocks thus loudly? Seward--[without.] 'Tis I, my Lord! the White House cock; Thrice have I crowed since the day hath broke. [Enter Seward, Chase, Seward, Chase, Bates, Blair, Cameron, and Welles.] Cameron — How doth my good Lord? Lincoln — Indifferently well, methinks, good Coz, That confection of homminy and hog, which, as my wont, Late on yester eve I ate, did most wofully affect me. Have I no leech among Misguided people! who would fain tear away three stripes-- Two of red and one of white — from our Star-spangled Banner. Seward--[aside.] Long may it wave! Welles — O'er the land of the free! Bates — And the home of the brave! Lincoln — And imagine marvellous consoling, That nothing is hurting anybody. There, go! Stand not on the order of your going, but go at once. [Seward and others bow and depart.] New Jerusalem! is this happiness? When erst I dreamt of might, majesty, and power; w

of the rebels. Fort Sumter: a heroic poem, in three Cantos. by Charles Edward Leverett, Jr. Canto I. Now glory be to Uncle Abe, and Scott, his lion pet, And Seward, the righteous pontifex, who rules the Cabinet; And glory to the mighty fleet that stood off Charleston Bar, And left the dauntless Anderson to bear the brunt of flying North, 'tis pithy, sharp and curt-- “Fort Sumter's taken — tell Old Abe that no-bod-y is hurt.” A panic strikes the Cabinet, they wriggle in their chairs; Seward mutters “curses deep, not loud” --Welles tries to say his prayers; Old Uncle Abe, their royal liege, grows pallid at the news; Uneasy twitch the nimble feet withiis, my braves! hip, hip, hurrah, away! Do what you choose — for me, why, I'll be hanged if I will stay!” Now glory be to Uncle Abe, and Scott, his bully pet, And Seward, the cook and bottle-washer of the Cabinet; And glory to the mighty fleet that stood off Charleston Bar, And left the dauntless Anderson to bear the brunt

119. A welcome to the invader. an ode, addressed to the picked men of Col. Wilson's New York command. I. What! have ye come to spoil our fields, Black hearts and bloody hands! And taste the sweets that conquest yields To those who win our lands? II. Back to your dens of crime and shame, Black hearts and bloody hands! Ye but disgrace a soldier's name, Owning such vile commands. III. Your ribald chieftain is a fool,-- Black hearts and bloody hands! In sneaky Seward's grasp a tool-- In Blair's — a beast he stands. IV. Dare ye with patriot men to strive?-- Black hearts and bloody hands! And can ye hope to ‘scape alive From their avenging brands? V. Thieves, ruffians, hirelings, slaves, Black hearts and bloody hands! Our country will refuse its graves To your polluted bands. VI. The carrion vulture in his flight-- Black hearts and bloody hands! Shall scent you, as you droop in fight, Nor wait your ebbing sands. --Charleston Couri

A representative of one of the five Great Powers met Mr. Seward on Monday, just as he was coming out of his room on his way to dinner. Of course, the diplomat was invited to walk in. He declined,ioned the fact as evidence of the universal feeling of hostility which pervades Charleston. Mr. Seward--What is the name of your Consul at Charleston? Diplomat--------------.

ow, or has there been, nor will there be any, the least idea existing in this Government of suffering a dissolution of this Union to take place in any way whatever. There will be here only one nation and one Government, and there will be the same republic and the same constitutional Union that have already survived a dozen national changes and changes of Government in almost every other country. These will stand hereafter as they are now, objects of human wonder and human affection.--William H. Seward. I. Tell them this Union, so great, cannot sever, Though it may tremble beneath the rude shock; As it hath lived, so it shall live forever, Strong as the mountain oak, firm as the rock. II. Others have fallen — are falling around us; Dynasties tremble and sink to decay; But the great heart whose stony fetters have bound us, Never has throbbed as it's throbbing to-day. III. Let them not deem in a moment of weakness, We can surrender our birthright and name ;-- Strike the old flag, a
