EX-GOV. SEWARD'S .SPEECII. . We publish in our c9!nmns to-day, the faiio Swlic i n manifisto prepamred by Mr. Calb.01o11n, of 'Uirh Cal olin., (the seperate papr of Mr. lerrien is ahnost identical,) and issued under the appro bation of a large portion of tile Suuth erni mcibers of the present Congress, sintig at Washingion. WVe also publish, in the saie connectidn, and as a fit ac ccimpanalimnlt. a very cutius atid re mar kable speech delivcred by- e-G uv ernor Siviad, of this state, at Cleve. hand, in Ohio, in the month Lf October last. Mr. Calhoun's manifesto o0he np gressions made by the North on South crn institttions, and Mr. Seward's speech an-l declarations, declaring the purpo2s and principles of the party -with which he is connected at the North, will :hus be seen to be part and parcLI of tho same movement, th6 same Igitatiun, and the same distuiLing conroversy, which, for the first time since the revolutior, now seriously menaces the permanence of this confe'deracy. We desire our read ers to peruseboth with.care and attenliog. This nianifesto, written by Mr. Cal houn, his been very much cofinented upon by the newspaper press. Since tire Southert members held their first meeting in Washington, fur the purpose of maturing such-a paper and issuing it to the -Southern States. Mr. Caihoun placed himself at on'c in the front rank, as a champion of Southern insti tutions. .This would of course excit'e the jeal0is6f many of his colleagues; who would on that account naturally en deavor to misrepresent and misstate the positions aisumed by the writer, and the pi inciples which he declares, before their coming to light. Northern newspapers, it appears, hive been full. of such 'mis4 statements, and Mr. Calhoun and his as ociates haebi'en accu6sed f entertaf-. ing, d'ablitty,:tle.,qod' Ig taNeon lhott.sc~ ;&0se--bein-g:i'et ely firged aiws!:i4 Norihan movements. It is nowevTent, Ahowever, uorn the facts aa- they ppear in boilt: of the documents which we now publish--that o'f Mr. CAlhoun, and that of ex.-Governor Seward-that tlie alle, gtiouon made .by Mr. Calhoun, in his manifesto against the aggressions of the North, are correct in every larticular. Read carefully the 'sprech dlivered by Mr. Sewrd, at Cleveland, in the month of October last, and there will be Ibund a calm and deliberate purpose announ. 'ced, under the pretence of humanity, to interfere with those Southern interests which have been guaranteed solemnly by the constitution, and which have been protected under'it fur the last half cen tury. The allegations made by Mr. Calhoun, that Northern legislation has violated the federal compact, is complete ly made out by th& declarations and avowed purposes of ex-Governor Sew ard. In the city*of Cleveland, in Ohio, Mr. Seward made those declarations and avowed those purposes which, if carried out to the extent so broadly maked, v ould at once violate, still Further, the constittion of the United States, and aibove all things, bring about an early and sudtdeni dis: upt ion between the Noth and the .Suth. Th le advice $vbidhl lie gives to thin local legislature of Ohio, relative to fugiiive shir.is, wh'oil d cleatrly ind emphatically be, if cari ed out, an inifractin nf the conisiihmion as5 it now exists be:w;een lhe No: th anrd :1-e Souibh. The general avowal also iade, of eleva ting the cilnrcd race to a per fect eqit,l ity -wit h lie whI:ites, over thle .hole of tis con federa cy is the pa rticubair f-a tare which distinuguishes this rem,arka:ble specch of Mr. Seward. Now, with these remarkabb~ and s!tri king documenuts tefore us, it is perfectly. cleat,. that Mr. C:ulhaun and the other Southiern miembers of Congress w ho have issued the Sott uter ni mni (sio, are per foci ly justified uinder the constit ution, in making the declar ationts which they have mnade, arid in pointing out the ::g gressions which hihve been attempted by Northern fanatics on Sojuthaern righits, in violation of the consti tution. We (10 not wishh to enter into any discutssioni on the abstract question of slavei y, as ap pliedl to the African lace. As long as the Union Otf these States remaiuns in tact under thu present constituttia ii, such a question in rebitioni to the co,lorid pot) ub:tion~*of tha South is not open1 for jiub lie discussion. TIe Northern States, in beegmiing memnbers of thie confederacy, and partie-s to that inistr ument, pledged their faih at:d their honor to certain con ditions in r eference -to a pairticublir claiss of thie plopulat ion of lie Southern States. As long as that constitut ion exists, those pledges must be adhered to by all public men, in the Northi as weil as the So.uthi. Those whIo wvould get up and miake s:'ch a1 gross-and open tat tempt to counsel otler tie; as M. Se,ar., ,11 ..t C'lnon land and elsewbere, last summei, must be charact_riod and set down either.as double-ficed deniagogues of the worst shal-e, ol as detrmined and r-esolute in the purpose (f bringing about a speedy I and early disi tqpiun of iho Unioi be tween the Northern and Southern States. Tire is no escape fro.n such an alter native. Such is the present condition of this very critical and very important q'cst'on between Northern and South-. trn interests; aswel as Northerg South ern feelings. It is the first time in the history of this republic, that such a crisis has been produced by the agita'tion of questions in both-sections, that can only lead to a violation of the constitution on the one hand, and i complete disrup tion of the confederacy on the other. -WhI:t; thcn, is to ' be done? Have Mr. Calhoun ard his associats over estimated the importance of the crisis? Certainly not. Thle course of Mr. Se ward and the action of abolitionists at tacked to his fortunes itliis and other States, will slowly but surely bring about that catastrophe wlicl all would deplore, if the sober, sensible, and prdc.. tical people of the North do not at once arouse and act, and put down all those who would counsel hnd. advise, as Dir. Seward has done, a gross .a.d violeht. infi action. of the constitution of the Uni ted Stat. rTi.e progress and trittmph of sucli a doublefaced demagogue as Mr. Seward has. always shown hiniselfto be, during his whole career, would artain ly and surely bring about a consumnia tion that would be disastrous to the. rapidly growing glory' and. magnificence of this republic.. In every phrase of his. career, Mr. Seward has shown himself to be' this kind of a demagogue., -1o wias the first. who, is conjunctior-witli his fidus achates, Thurlow. Weed,icr-a(: ted the anti-mason txcitem at in-tii IVest, and made a simple arid solitaiy. rnuraiethe- causef an agitation-ag i titarNrsoOibntli"~hl at .%ern4ie'JW-Neolel , ean assOcia"io murd6r with' impuniy. ' The 'sud double-faced ad dangerous detuagogue excited a silly 'pribst in this city: tota ,the poitial arena and.agitite h question,.until it cleated such. i- distur ba'nce among other religious sects as to produce the most aWful conflagraiions in a neighboring city. The saime double-. faced denagogue stirred up anotier por tion of the peaceable and quiet citizens of this * State, and produced a rupture between proprietors of land and their tenant, in certain counties, which is not yet scttl:d, and probably will. not be without some awful and terrible scenles, similar to those which took place when it first broke out. All these local ekcitements and religi ous exasperations might be overlooked; but when we see the same agitator, the samo demagogue, in consequence of the social condition which is far happier and far more comfortable than that of many of the white race in the Noith n'licn we see such a demagogue, out of such a social condition endeavoing to excite aml exasperate pepular opinion and State legislation at the North, so as to pass laws in violation of the constiti lion, and whtichm will lead to its dist up-, tin, it is timio for ilhe sensile prh0 ticalI businmess nmen; of t his and othier com-. muonities of the Not thn, to panse and ask, "'Whe: e wvill suFch. imen andic such doe triies lcad to ?"

A TERM AT' CASE. It has often occurred to us that a term of service in a printing oflico was about one of the best things that a parent could secure fu his son, no mtter what busi, ness or profession he niight ultimately pursu'e, Were it a practicable thing, it should form a branch of the finishing department of the education of all our youth, and we are convinced that it would conduce a moru enlarged an4 practical view of lumanity than ary other field of action. . A newspaper priiting o16ice a'l-wys contains something far beyond the mere mechanical tact and skill of the type setter; there is always more or less.of genius and talent-an invariable leaven of originality-powers of discernment and habits of discrimination-prompt ness to distinguish between merit and fiumbugiana, the real and the nietrecious -keeness of observation, and celerity ofjudgment Add to this what is rarely Iabsent, yeari of experience in the vicis situdes of life, much practi'al knoiedge,: and, over all, the scii,tillations 'of ian ever-readywit froM,one;oneoraiothE er, and a well dirited printingl - will prove to beta capital.. antechamber gr UL.1 we Veruretosay, ho has ever passed through it on his waylo the great world of action, has_ found cause.to regret the tim'e so s'pent ~ :.. Ther-e are o ianv illustrition' lo the point, especially at die present day, that it would be a formidable task to collate them. But the value of such a proba tionary season,.no doubt, proves greatest to those whose fdture life. is devoted to authorship, or engaged in public service of any kind. Its advantages, however, in relation to any of the pursuits of life, are scarcely secondary to those derivable from any other source; and as the press daily advances in importance and use fulness, they will be propoi tionably aug mented. The foliowing pnragraph from an ex change paper coitiains at once illustra tion and testimony: , "N. P. Willis, Esq., this distinguished editor of the [lome Journal, very justly 6bserves, 'if there were an apprentice, ship to the trade of authorship, it .would be as essential that a year as a composi tor in a printing olice, as that a future sea captain should.make a voyage before the mas'.' Mr. Perley, of the Boston Bce, even goes further, and contends that 'washing rollers, bringing wood, and carrying newspapers, ar'e all necessary to the eduication of a good writer,' anid he goes-back, with'nu good 'dearfoLiusto, to thle good t iin e tused to have, w hen in the .imorning he got a-great piece of wvarmn gingerbicad at thme baker's shop, for his promiptniess in stupplying the sub scribiers at thme shop with the pap)er.
