We extract thefollowing from the speech
of Fernando Wood, ex-Mayor of New
York city,delivered lately at New liochelle,
which presents a statement ©f the issue
that is to be made, met, and decided in
1860 by the people of the United States.
Speaking of the Republican patty, Mr.
Wood asks:
Who leads this latter power 1 It is
William H". Seward. He is the .embodi-
ment, the concentration, the presiding ge-
uioos of the "JLlepublican" p^rty. Dis-

great head and leader of'tiiitg^espotic par-
ty North. 'His enunciations make the
platform opon which it stands, as he^eaTTy
created the organization as it exists. He
is,tlfferefore, the father, the founder, the ex-
ponent and the acknowledged and recog-
nized standard bearer of the 44 Republican"
party. When it is ascertained what be

liis policy, you have seen the motjve pow-
er by which the machinery of the party is
to be worked ; and when be speaks, you
may rely upon it that the principles which
will govern a 44 Republican" administra-
tion, if such án affliction shall ever visit the
people of this country, are fully developed
and held up to th¿ public gaze. Fortunate-
ly, he has left us in no doubt upon*" this
latter point.
He hasTproclaimed these doctrines. We
are in no darkness upon this subject. In
the boldness of a hardened abandonment
of all na ion dity ha; he dared t> un-
mask the cbarnel bouse which contains the
blackened record of the & Republican" de
signs. Tbis was done in his celebrated
Roches ter^speech. In that effort, intended
to be a full exposure of the doctrines upon]
which tbi3 and the tucceeding canvass
shall be ifc ught, belaid down the issued
and betrayed the principles upon whicli
the " Republican" party will go before live
people. What are they ? Let us look it
them. Pregnant as they are with nation-
al disorganization and with national dis-
ease, I *ould not magnify, their pernicious
tendences.^IIe boldly said there must be
an irrepressible conflict between the peo-
ple of the North and the South, in which
one or the other section shall conquer—
that the Union must become " all slav£ or
all free**—that this iutestine and fratricidal
war m«t-go 0!rcw^4l>e
.the people of the North into an abanáon-
ment of their own free institutions or/that
the North shall drive the South,vi etafmi%
1 suppose, iuto an abandonment of its sys i
toms of labor, the freedom of the llaves
and the consequent extinctfon of its tidus-
trial pursuits and Us agricultural pnáperi-
{y.
This is what is proposed, my fello<w-citi-
zens of New York. .Seward, speaking for
the " Republicans," says to us : "Let us
force the emancipation of the black , that
we may make slaves of the whites; let u¡
elevate our own political clan, though we
may iinpovish the nation-^. let us coerse
the free poople of one section in the name
* of freedom ; subjugate real libertt under
pretense of subduing nominal slavery; let
as play the hypocrite, so that we fan bet
ter^act the pirate; jet in' settle a useless
principie, though in so doing we sever a
united people; let there be an 4frrepres*i-
ble conflict' bej.wegn all that is, ...great and
good in the confederacy of Statep, and tEe
'conoofidarity of the people,' so Ihat upon
the ruins of the conflict £ shall become the
Nero of the occasion, to fiddle upon the
smoking embers of what was o«ce tbis glo-
rio ™-compact of American Sta|e ,and have
the inglorious distinction of b^ng the last
American President, as Washington was
the first.1'
Already we have a practica) illustration
of the dreaded theory. Everj in advance
of the possession of the Government, the
follower-) of Seward and the adherents of
his eause bare attempted CO pake*all free.'
The recent slave insurrectio^ in Virginia
was intended lo enforce these principles
and it exposed the means relied upon to
carry them into execution./ Kansas hav-
ing failed to offer continued food for ex-
citement, and a theater for Black Repub-
lican agitation and bloodshed, a yet bold-
er attempt has been made in a slave State,
where a miniature performance has been
rot up in advance of the tfforts of Seward
ter in defeat.
have nosf _
mentous question ever agitated on the
American Continent It is folly to at-
tempt to disguise it. It cannot be dis-
guised. Sophistry and subterfuge will
avail not. The abstraction and false phil-
anthropy .with which other orators and
other ambiguous platforms, adopted else-
where, seek to mislead public opinion,can-
not alter the damniug fact. The naked
truth has been proclaimed by the reeog-
uized head himself, and all others are pre-
tenders and humbugí.
Now, my fellow-citizens, these are real-
ly the questions the Northern majority
and the people of New York have to de-
cide in the coming election. Let us look
at them as business men. Whether we
Jm mfrch an ta, capitalists, agriculturists or
manufacturers, it appears to me we have a
deep;stake m th<r cout>o%grsy.-
Tae result involves a war upon the
slav$ States hy thewb.
Fed4T*LJiaii***rtrtTii It Seward, or any
ublican,"'shall be elected President,
the!Executive arm will be brought to bear
upon the South. Slavery and bthe slave-
holder, of course, must be alike proscribed
—tjhe whole country must become alijfree,
because, the n, it cannot become all slave.
The issue now is 44 all free or 6lave." If,
therefore, the 44 Republicans" succeed, the
efforts of that party in power will be to en-
force its doctrines and make "all free." A
War will be made upon slavery in the
South—bow, otherwise, "can the country
become " all .free ?" To accomplish this
|nore effectually,.the Federal patronage
will be used. Congress will be subsidized^
ito procute the passage of odious and pro-
fscriptive laws—discriminating duties will
be imppsed—the Federal officers for the
South will be taken from the Black " Re-
publican" hordes of the North—the slaves
wiH be incited to rebellion—Southern in-
testiue convulsion promoted—Southern re-
sistance to Federal exactions invited—
Southern secession for the purpose of ex-
ercising the military power of coercion en-
couraged, and, in short, the utter demor-
alization and disruption of Southern so-
ciety, Soathern law, and Southern local
government produced,so as the more earn-
estly to accomplish this dreadful theory of
44 all free."
Suppose this doctrine carried out to its
inevitable conclusion ; imagine the stupen-
dous coj sequenses!
Who tan contemplate the result with-
out unnjingled emotions of horror ? To
al enforcement of his " all free or all slave"
theories. The continued uniou of these
States bodes no good to England. She
cannot fail to feel the growing power of
our commerce, the giant strides of our ter-
ritorial acquisition, and the competition of
our manufacturéis.
In her own markets have we driven
her to the wall in both quality and price
of manufactured products, and she finds
American bottoms gradually absorbing the
carrying trade of the world. In commerce,
navigation and manufactures, therefore, we
aré leaving England behind, while in eve-
ry other element of national greatness we
are becoming the leading nation of the
world. England sees this. While pre-
tending amity, she is stealthily seeking our
ruin. Her Ministry desire to j^gQiajilish
by indirection that wl ^aI*"rtT®y~dare not at-
teuiDtly*- WW,"offensive course.
It is the Northern and Middle States
"great competing ele-
ments. It is our ships,our manufacturers,
our minerals, our capital, and enterprise,
which produce the rival interests feared by
Eng^ nd. These competing resources are
coucétitratedjin the free States. The South
has none of them. That section produces
nothing which comes in competition with
British labor or British capital. The slave
States not only do not compete with En-
gland, but produces that whicb England
cannot do without. The agriculture of the
South is indispensible to the peace, pros-
perity and safety of the British people as a
nation.- Th<f*cotton, rice, tobacco and oth-
er products cultivated by slaves are neces-
sary to their well being; Without cotton
the Government of England would become
unstable and unsafe. The opperative clas-
ses of that kingdom would become " dan-
gerous classes" when withoutjernployment,
and without the bread which employment
alone procures. It is cotton that employs
them.
Ilence, if adessolution of the American
Union can be accomplished by the election
of Seward to the Presidency, three great
national objects dear to the British Gov-
ernment will have been attained, viz: A
powerful national rival destroyed ; the com-
mercial,! navigating and manufacturing
states North crippled, and an exclusive
monopoly of the trade with the cotton
growing States obtained.
For the free States she would have
measures of hostility, while to the South
she would offer protection with arms and
money. She would ¿guarantee the inde-
pendence of the South. Thus a Southern

fcur, and if thirty-two or upwards, shall be
entitled to one captain and two lieutenants,
to be elected by the members of said
company, and four sergeants and four cor-
porals, to be appointed by the captains ;
if the company consists of less than
men, the quota of officers and
be proportionate. Said
be organized and elect
their officers under the superintendence of
the Chief Justice of the County first named
in the list of districts, or in case of his
failing to attend, the Ohief Justice of the
next county on the list, and in case of fail-
ure of both by the County Commissioneis;
and when Jsuch companies shall have or-

tho savagp hand of the slave incendiary, or
the yet deióper vengeance of a " Black Re-
publican" military power. Great God! is this
philatithropby ? Are the sturdy yeoman-
ry of New- York prepared to become par-
ties of sucba dreadfulHeed ? JDothe hon-
est men wbo rally to the cause of Seward-
isra contemplate and realize the entertain-
ment to which they are invited ! Do they
ever think out, to its logical and inevitable
consequenses,'the results of their own suc-
cess as a political party in the pending
fight ? If eo, why do they not shrink with
affright from the responsibilities resting
upon them—-a responsibility which will go
down to their posterity and be writ-
ton upon history in letters of sgorn and
hate.
And, what, in the meanwhile, will be-
come of our great commercial interests, an
closely interwoven with Southern prosper-
ity ? The hundj^tJa-oLmütio * of North-
irraTTñvestéd in Southern produc-
tions—the wealth which is now annually
accumulated by the North, and especially
of New York, out of tho labor of slavery—
the profit, the luxury, the comforts, the ne-
cessity, «ay, even the very physical exist-
ence depending upon products only to be
obtained by the continuance of slave labor,
and the prosperity of the slave master ?—
Suppose, even, " all free" penetrated fthe
South and became ¿a Southern dogma.
How would it be with us, to Bay nothing
of the South itself? Shall I be answered
that slave labor could be supplied by the
same labor in a state of freedom instead
of bondage. So argued the British Gov- j
eroment when it abolished ^slavery in its
West India Colonies. From flourishing
provinces, teeming with wealth and pros-
perity, the, same Islands have become des-
ert wastei and impoverished dependencies
upon homo support—the population given
over to debauchery and penury, and the
blacks themselves reduced to the lowest

And it is declaring too much when I
add that it is to this anticipated protector-
ate of the slave States as an independent
Southern power that the governmental
press of England has recently modified its
hatred of slavery, and declared that Wil-
berforce and other '¿emancipationists were
mistaken philanthropists! I think not.

Seward sustains his political position.
And it may be well th let the American
people see and feel, that they may realize
the full force of this Monstrous doctrine.
To let them know tbst it is not all the
mere rhetoric of ji demagogue. That it
is not only possible, but probable, that the
day is rapidly approaching when every
slave State will becomji a field of carnage
under tbis odius theor¿ef"all free." How

These are the reid principles
underlie the " Republican" party

cape from this conclusion, and all the sick
ly philanthrophy or gilded sophistry {of free
labor for our Southern States would be
nonsense but for the political consequences
attending the agitation.
Nor is England a disinterested party in
the determination of this question. She
