We publish below the concluding portion of Mr Seward's speech, verbatim et literatim, as we find it the Journal of Commerce.

The portion which we giye contains every word that could be supposed to look like apy- conciliation to the; South, and if anybody can poin to anything there, we will give credit fori being a politi cal Columbus a great discoverer Here I might close my plea for the American TJoion but it necessary, if not to exhaust tbe at least to exhibit the whole case, i Tne distniiooists, con sciously unable to stand on their mere, disappointment in the recent election, have attempted to enlarge their crround. More than thirty years- there has existed considerable though not heretofore a formidable mass oi citizens in certain estates situate near jor around the delta of tbe Mississippi, who believe that Union is less conducive to the welfare and-greatness of States than a smaller confederacy, embracing Only slave States, would be. This class has availed itself of the- discon tents resulting from the election to put) into operation the machinery of -dissolution waiting only lor occasion. long axo prepared aau In other btates there; is a soreness because of the want of sympathy in the free States with the efforts 'of slaveholders for the recapture of fugitives from Eervice. iu an uic Biave oiaita lucre is i esu vcutss rtauitiug from the resistance which has been s6 determinedly it .1 o.

made within the last few years, ib the free States: to the extension of slavery Jn the common. Territories of the United States. lhe Kepubhcan party, which cast its votes for the successful Presidential candidates, on the-ground of that policy, has been allowed, practically, no representation, no utterance by speech, or through the press, in the slave States while its policy, principles and sentiments, Vnd even its temper, haye been so mis represented as to excite apprehensions that it denies im portant constitutional obligations, and aim3 at inter f'erence with slavery and its overthrow by State author ities or intervention of the Federal (rovernmnt. Considerable masses even in the free States, interest ed in the saccess of these misrepresentations as a meaps' oi pariizan strategy, nave lent meir syoapatny to tne A 1 1 1 .1 party claiming to be aggrieved, while the result of the election brings? the Republican party necessarily into the foreground in resisting disunion, the prejudices against them which have described have deprived them of. the'' co-operation of many and patriotic citizens.

On a complex issue between the Republican party and the disunionists, although it involves the direct national calamities, the result might be doubtful or the Republican party is weak in a large part of the Union; But on a direct issue, with all who cherish the Union on one side, and all who desires itsJdissolution by force on the the verdict would be prompt and al most unanimous. I desire thus to simplify the issue, and for that purpose to separate from all. collateral questions, and relieve it of all partizan passions and prejudices. i JL. consider tbe idea of the withdrawal of the Gulf States, and, their permanent reorganization with or with out others in "a distinct confederacy as a means of advantage to themselves, so certainly unwise and so obviously impossible of execution, when the purpose i3 un derstood, that I dismiss it with the discussion I have already incidently bestowed upon it.

I I he case is diflerent; however, in regard to the other subjects -which I have brought in tbi connection before the Senate. Beyond a doubt, Union is vitally important to the Republican citizens of the United States i but it ij iust as important to the. whole people. Republicanism and Union are, therefore, not convertible terms. Republi canism is subordinate to Union, as everything else js and dught" to be Republicanism, ijemocracy, every other political name and; thing all are subordinate- nd they ought to disappear in the presence of the great question of So far a3 I am concerned, it sail be so i it should be sq it the; question were sure to be tried as it ought only toj be determined, by the; peaceful ordeal of the ballot.

I .1 It shall be so all the 'more since there is on one side preparedness to refer it to the arbitrament; of civil war. 1 have such faith in this republican system of ours, that there is no political good! which I desire that I am not content to setk through its peaceful; forms of administration, without, invoking revolutionary action. If 6 th-. ers shall invoke that form of action to oppose and overthrow they shall not, so far as it depends on me, have the excuse that I obstinately left myself to be misunderstood. In such a case 1 can afford to meet prejudice with exaction with concession which surrenders no.

ai violence with the right hand of peace. i herefore, sir, sd far as the ubstrait question whether, by the Constitution of the United States, Tb'j bondsman, who' is made such by the laws of the State, is still a man or only property, I answer that, within that State; its laws on that subject are supreme when he has escaped from that State into another, the Constitution recognizes him as a bondsman who may not, by any law or regulation of that State, be discharged from his service, but shall be delivered up, on claim, to the party tio whom his service is due. While prudence and justice -would combine in persuading you to modify the' acta of Congress on that sub ject, so as hoF to oblige private persons to assist in theffc CAcvuuuUf auu iu piutcuij iieeiuuii i-ruui uciujj, uy uuuau of the laws, carried into' slavery, I agree that all laws bf the States, which relate to this class of persons, or any others.recntly coming from or resident in 'other and, which laws contravene tbe Constitution of the United States, or any law oil-Congress passed Sh conformity thereto, ought to be repealed. Secondly. Experience in public affairs has confiimed my opinion, that domestic slavery, existing in any State is wisely left by the of the United.

States exclusively to the care management and disposition of that State; and if it were in my powe'r, I would not alter the Constitution in that respect." If misapprehension of my position needs so strong a remedy, 1 atii willing to vote lor an amendment of the Constitution, de claring that it shall not, by any future amendment, be so altered, as. to confer onl Congress a power to abolish or interfere with slavery in any State. hirdly. While I think that Congress has exclusive and sovereign authority to legislate on all subjects whatever, in the common Territories of the United States and while I certainly shall neveri directly or indirectly, give my vote to establish, or sanction slavery in. such Territories, or anywhere else in the world, yet the question what constitutional laws shall at apy time be pass-, ed in regard to the Territories, is, like every other question, to be determined po practical grounds.

I voted for enabling acts in the cases of Oregon, Minnesota and Kansas, without being able to secure in them such pro- visions as i wouia nave ptreterrea ana vet i votea wisely. So now I am well satisfied that, under existing cir cumstances, a happy and satisfactory' solution of the difficulties in the remaining territories would be obtained by similar laws, providing for jtheir organization if such organization were otherwise practicable. If, therefore, Kansas were admitted as a State, under the Wyandotte constitution, as I think' she ought to be, and if the organic laws of all the other territories could be re nealed. I could vote ta authorize the organization and admission of two new States which should inelude them, reservinsr the rfght to effect subdivisions of them when ever5 necessary into several convenient States but do not find that such reservations cbuld be 'constitutionally made. 1: i' Without them the ulterior embarrassmenta which would result from the hasty, incorporation of States of such vast extent and various interests and character would outweigh all the immediate advantages of such a measure.

But if the measure were practicable, I should prefer a different namely when the eccentric movements secession and disunion Shall have ended, in whatever form that end may come, and the angry excitements hour shall have subsided, and calmness uuCv uioie shall have resumed its accustomed away over the public mind, then, and not until then one, two, or three years hence-! should cheerfully advise a con vention of the people, to be assembled in pursuance of the constitution to consider and decide whether aoy and what amendments of the organic national law ought to be made. Republican now- as I have heretofore been a member of other parties existing in my day- I nevertheless hold and; cherish, as I have always done, the principle that this government exists in its present form only by the. consent of the governed, and that it is as necessary as it ii wise, to resort to the people for, revisions of the organ- I and mens, in after times, shall declare that Ithia tion, wnicn8aved tne Union from such sudden and uji-looked for dangers, surpassed in magnanimity w.u;u 3.t 1" vue nuiiu iuiu iu vuu citTui principles or oeriy, justice anq numanuy; 7 he Fbeliko is- the East Thc i Co.nVextio.v 1- correspondent, writing.
