The Governor ot the State, W. H. Seward, eserves all honor for the erect and noble posion he took in respect to the tmnsmission of the solees of the Legistaiure upon the Virginia o.'.troverey. He did right; he acted nobly in eiusing to be their cats pnw. We have viewed lis course wiih great satisfaction during the whole session. He has lairly out-generalled his pponents. They have med in vanousways to ntrap him. but he has escaped thcir snares. and t is our decidel opinión that were he nonnnated ie would be elected with a very handsome maority. He will go inio priv te lifewith thi6 conolntion, that while all else he has written will erish und be forgotten, his noble vind. canon ol tie righta of man will make him immoital. H(.w the names oi the men who bow down to laveryshall stink in the nost'ils of coming gen erotion8. JHow deep and dark the curses which a world shnJl utteron mention of their names. at he remembrance of their servility and baseness. Jemocrats! We would "rather be a dog and bay the moon. han such a Democrat." They have no more of the spirit and feeling of democracy than has the ve ieat tyrant on earth. No more respect lor man than the Grand Mogul. Men cannot have sympathy where knowledye is not, and ihe Democratie party knows norhing of the democratie principie; how then can it sympathizewhh those fr whom the principie is intended? "Aw.iy! away! I'd rather hold my neck By doubtful tenure írom a Sultans beek In climes were Libeity has acaree been named, Nor nny right biu that ot ruling clnimed; Than thnsto live where sham Democract wavcs Her l'ustian flag in mockery overslaves."
