It is one of the meanest and most contemptible efforts of its kind that we ever saw, and wheu we compare it with some of Seward s former speeches upon nanonai question, it sinks into the most despicable insignificance. There is not from the beginning to the end of it a singlfe grace of expression a single intellectual merit to redeem it It is an unmitigated com pound of the lowest materials of demagogueism a tissue of the most virulent, undignified and scan dalous denunciations of the South, interlarded with disgusting and inflammatory appeals to the basest oassions of the basest party that ever existed in any country. The object of this disreputable dis nlav of the Senator is patent on its face. It is the tint public movement ne nas yet maae in nis own proper person towards tne rresiaency. it is a palpable bid that he has made ior the support oi those lawless and profligate agitaton and conspi raton who have been fused together uuder the influence of the anti-Slavery teeling and who nOw present an organization that boasts of its de termination to strip the South of her dearest Con stitutional rights and reduce her to a vassalage no better than the African bondage about which these Northern myrmidons of Seward are so hy- canting. The Mew York henator has in execrable taste; but with adevilish sagacity, seized upon the idea of raising the cry of "privil eged class" in this land of Republican equality. He knew that such stuff as this would tafce hfce a charm amongst his followen, and that, without pausing to consider the absurdity ol his sweeping assertions, they would swallow every worn inai ne STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

His speech is, there fore, the more dangerous, containing as it does the artful appeals which he throws out to the Fuaomsts trpon the strength ot his assumption abdut the "privileged class," as he dubs the slave holder This is a trick worthy ot the character and genius of William H. Seward, and which we doubt not will swell his reputation immensely ambngst the negro wonhippen. We suppose that, the "privileged class," as he applies it, oc cunlat least fifty times in his speech. It is the all-pervading, overruling sentiment that distin guishes it. . After reciting; in due ad captanaum style the imaginary aggressions of the " privileg ed .class," he becomes towards the close of his effusions exceedingly animated in his notions abent correcting the evils which he has so indig nantly sketched.

Not another slave State; he declares, " can 7101c come into the Union !" Here, then, is the broad programme of William H. Seward's operations and designs published by himself to the world and intended by him as the chart by which his followers are to steer their course. With both branches of Congress ready to do the biddings of the Fanatics, and himself, as President, ready to "approve their acts, it would be a beautiful picture of things iudeed in the Republic ! But we think that the New York Senator need not flatter himself that such a picture will ever be realized for, liefore it can lie, the Republic will cease to exist. Of one thing we feel pretty con fident, viz : that William H. Seward will never Ixs President of these United States, even if he should le elected, unless he breathes a very dif ferent toue towards the South than he does in this Higher Law Albany speech of his.

This tribunal, established by an act of the last Congress, resumed its session yesterday in the hall of the Supreme Court, at the Capitol. Judges Gilchrist, Blackford, and Scarburgh were pre sent, and the Bar was represented by some forty or fifty gentlemen from all parts of the Union, seve ral of them eminent iu the political as well as ju dicial forum. The principal business of the sitting consisted in calling the general docket, placing cases upon the law docket, and hearing the suggestions of counsel. An important case, involving several millions of dollars, was set for argument to-day, in which the Hon. George E. Badger is to appear.' It arises under the Florida Treaty of 1819. Some of the points in it have undergone judicial investigation in Florida ; but the Treasury De partment in charge of two successive Adminis trations has declined payment. The question is now to b tested before the Court of Claims, and will elicit a thorough exposition by the ablest le--gal talent of the country. The fint section of the act constituting the Court provides that it "shall hear and determine all claims founded upon any law of Congress, or upon any regulation ot an Executive Department, or upon any contract, express or implied, with the Government of the United States, which may be suggested to it by a petition filed therein ; and also all claims which may be referred to said Court by either House of Congress." The Court, it will thus be seen, has hot so extensive a jurist diction as is generally supposed ; yet the docket is large, and will be greatly increased by numer ous claims yet to be referred by Congress. All pending before the House of Representatives at the close of the session were transferred by speci al order. The Senate overlooked the subject and made no reference of its unfinished business but it is not improbable that it will do so at an early day after its session shall have been resumed. . National Intelligencer, 15. Maryland and Delaware Railroad. The Easton Star states .that Col. Walter Gwynu, Chief Engineer, of the Nort Carolina Raib-oad, has been elected Chief Engineer of the M aryland, and Delaware Railroad, and adds : The corps of"En gineers on the Maryland and DeldVare Road are within a few miles of Easton, and the survey of the route will doubtless be concluded iu a few weeks. A Youthful Governor. The Governor elect of California is only thirty years old, the young est Governor and the youngest State iu the Union,. THE POLAR SEA. Dr. Kaue's statements respecting the discovery ...rthe Polar Sea heighten the public curiosity to know more. As we now understand it, the open sea was approached by a new channel, completely frozen up and almost impassable, even on foot, hading from the bay lying at the point where the immense glacier united the coast of Greenland to the new land of Washington. The glacier itself appears to be longitude sixty degrees west, a considerable distance from the old part of Smith's Sound, and the channel which led to the sea was in the western part of the bay, extending northward. Our conjecture that the Polar Sea Urdered Greenland was, therefore, an error. But the most intresting item is the description now given of this last wonder. The Polar Sea dis covered by Dr. Kane was entirely free of ice in all its visible extent, about three thousand square miles of it being seen, and a north wind of fifty two hours in duration failed to bring in any ice from it. More than this, it abounded in animal life. By what phenomenon of nature we are to account for such A condition of things in the high est knpwn latitude, is a mystery. It would be curious to ascertain why the water which freezes into such immense masses in the channel and bay from which Dr. Kane approached this sea, does not congeal at all in the latter, lying, as it does, further north. Is it caused by the vast depth or tempestous character of the Polar Sea ; or is there some undiscovered quality in the intensity of cold, as we near the pole, which prevents conge lation ; or has the water of the sea an ingredient not found elsewhere ? It has been presumed by all previous Arctic exploren that beyond a cer tain latitude animal fife-could not exLst near the poles. Here is a fact which conflicts strangely with the theory. In the highest known latitudes, a polar sea has been found where animal life is abundant, and the water is perfectly free of ice. In that remote and inaccessible region, what a wealth of whale oil must exist if the whaicrs could only get at it. There, safe from the har poon which has mercilessly punued them all round the globe, the fugitives from Spitzbergen and the Greenland sea, and Baffin's Bay and the North . Pacific, have been for yean disporting in safety, bidding defiance to all the efforts of the adventurous whalers. The question, what has' become 01 all tlie whales, is at length approach ing solution. The hiding place has been found, and though Dr. Kane does not mention the fact, it is, of course, presumable, that the animal life ioiuui in tne roiar Sea must include whales, for they exist everywhere in the Arctic Seas. The importance of this discovery is limited only by the; extent and accessibility of tlie sea itself; and wiuugu at present the prospect is not the most promising for its utilty, yet future revelations auu uiscovenes may relieve the difficalty. There 1 .tiiipie room aoout tne pole and in the Arctic circie ior a sea 01 very large area. The extent northward of the Arctic Ocean, lying above Europe and Asia and the western part of the northern face of America, has never yet been defined. ine eastern part ot the northern face of this con tinent, is bordered by a perfect labyrinth of is- lauus, great ana small, reaching as far north as discovery had gone, until at last Dr. Kane has tound the limit of the system in the open Polar Sea. Tlie question now to be solved, is. whether thi3 sea is connected with the Arctic Ocean, be- lore, auueica to, ana thus stretches clear across the poll, c whether hew Islands remain to be dis covered,: which separate it from that ocean. Tlie probaUIity seeins to be that the Polar sea must be of great extent and depth, or it could not remain free of ice. An approach northward from the eastern continent would probably show the reality. Unless it bo more accessible than by the opening at present discovered, it must continue an unknown realm, where the whales may lux uriate unmolested, and the seals and walnisses multiply at their leisure. PhUadelfhifi American, We commend these sentiments especially to those who have resolved that the "National De mocracy is the only party at the North with which the South can consistently unite." From the Albany Atlas. Slavery ash Fkeeimim the Position of Democrats. Tw many persons in our commu nity, it is an occasion for surprise, that whilst the citizens of the Southern States are so thor oughly united in defence of Slavery, and so keenly alive to whatever measures mav promise its ex tension, there should be so much discordance amongst Northern men as to the action by which this opprobrium to our age and nation should be limited in its progress, lhis wonderment will be somewhat abated by the reflection that to the slaveholding portion of the confederacy the sub ject is one which involves not only personal com forts and social aggrandisement, but also vast pe cuniary interests: as well to those who stand in the immediate relationship of mastenand mis tresses, as to all the classes of society dependant upon the producing interests for the gains by which they subsist. Whilst, therefore, Slavery is in this respect a personal, absorbing, active pnn ciple, stimulating its adherents by the sleepless vigilance which great pecuniary interests ever superinduce, the peopVnf the free states have no such imperative andwer-operative motive to drive them into a concentration ot action in re ference to this subject. With us, after all, the matter is in no small degree theoretic, and though the principle be important, and the consequences resulting therefrom of great moment to individ uals and society, it does not appeal to us with the same stimulating urgency which pertains to monetary interests in winch we have an individ ual concern. There are none of us who fear sub jection to the lash of the task-master ; and though we feel tor the wrongs inflicted upon humanity and would fain limit them to regions already cur sed with African servitude, we do not feel the evil so near as to cause us to lay aside all differences of opinion upon other topics, and address our selves to the extinction of this great wrong, re gardless of other consequences. Not that the people of the North differ materially in their es timation of the "peculiar institution," or the meas ures necessary to resist its encroachments ; but they seem not as yet to have regarded the dan ger as sufficiently imminent or momentous to ob literate their esteem for the political associations with which they have hitherto been connected, or the men with whom they have hitherto acted in reference to other measures of government. That the subject is daily becoming of more absorbing interest, is too pamtully obvious : nevertheless. it will require some new act of fatuity on the part of the Government some fresh outrages bv the votaries of the lash, before the North can be ban ded together in that strong and universal sympa thy which actuates all the movements of the slave oligarchy. But in the expression of this opinion, we have no intention of calling in question the honesty or sincerity of any Democrat who may deem that "an exigency has already arisen calling for the sacri fice of life-long political relations. We believe that the principles of freedom and Democracy are, and of right ought to be, identical that, in so far as the latter falls short of a full and complete identification with, and advocacy of, the great doc trine of human rights, ii falls short of its true vusston tliOX if its principles have been departed from, and its glory trailed in the dust by incom petent or designing men, the remedy consists. not in an entire negation of all other interests and an abandonment of the Democratic party but in calling it back to duty by an appeal to Hie honest masses, by a revolution in its action and the dismissal of those who have betrayed its true interest. We believe that the .popular heart of the Democratic party of me North beats more soundly and tn unison with this great pnnavle, than any other poUticairganization ; and though timid men in representative stations may have failed to give full utterance to the feelings which actuate the masses, and venal individuals may have combined to stifle its expression, lest the muttering of discontent should fall unpleasantly upon the ears of those in power, yet there can be ...... . no aouot that toe iuture anoros room ana verge enough to lighten these wrongs, and give to Democratic principles their true proportion and just bearing in the government, without depart ing from the time-honored usages and associa tions by which those pnnci pies can best be ear ned into fruition. It may be that the rod correction and discipline is essential to its purifi cation and more efficient action, but whilst we hold that " Earth has no soJ, It Maker meant should not le trod By man, the image of his GoJr Erect and free ;" so also U? we beUeoe. that the Democratic party best designed to- minister to the preservation of of the popular element that it is an impossibility to ktvp the condition of any department of the -home or foreign government hidden or concealed, A free and untrainnH'led ni css is at all times pre- -...l nwl wlwtrt hiihe world, not on'v Sintiinatod so much the present and positive acts of government, bnt its probable and future policy, with all the con- ' . 1 .... i rni sequences that are to result tiicn iroin. 1 uiu-s are managed very differently, in France, under tlie rule of the Republican Emperor.

The disasters and sa crifice of war, which so many of our stay-at-home people in this country are inclined to glo rify . are felt remotely at the fireside, and in the daily avocations of business, hi proximately on the liittle field. If victory has its triumphs, so is it followed by distress and suffering; and Eng land and France, with .Russia, the conquerors with the conquered, -ire fearfully realizing the hor- ron and sacrifices of that scourge of humanity, War. In France, particularly, at this time, the pres-' sure upon the people in their personal and do mestic relations, ia causing-, serums apprehensions of future trouble. There are very reasonable fears entertained of a scarcity of food ; and the conse quences that may arise from this fruitful source of miseiik tUiave very natnrnHj aroused the fears of the Government, it has lieen ascertained to a certainty, and so admitted by the Government, that there is a large deficiency in the wheat crop,: amounting to some millions of hectolitres, or two millions of quarters, which deficiency is to be supplied by importation. All accounts concur, that iu France, and in most of the counties of central and Southern EuroiK the late harvest; have 1 een lelov the average. The supplies from the shores of the Blit k Sea will be diminished, or entirely interrupted; and upon this source the countries lrleniig on the Mediterranean have heretofore relied for their ne cessary Contingent. Iu the a nth of r.urope the harvest has Imjcii short, and trade with the pr ductive corn districts of the South and East ol structed by the war. In Great Britain, two-thirds f the crop has leen secured, but even should the tine harvest weather continue, she will have none to spare ; for notwithstanding the increased po- dnctioii of wheat, the United Kingdom 'docs nVt produce in any year enough for its own consump tion. Spain is the only country in Europe which has any excess of grain available for exportation France lias other difficulties to contend with besides the shortness of the grain crop. The whie crop has also been most seriously injured ; accor ding to authentic statements, two-thirds of the wine is lost, which circumstance will be an im mense addition toEhe prevailing distress, not on ly because It haa raised the price of the ordinary sorts of wine to an excessive lieight, and so dC' prived the common people of their habitua beverage, but also because it has exposed the pea santry tf a very large part of the empire to the loss of their principal crop. In consequence of these providential disasters, much uneasiness exists in different parts of Frande as to the means of providiug adequate subsistence for the people during the coming season ef scar city, which is apparently at hand. Government is providently taking energetic measures to meet the apprehended emergency not as it did do in 1853, upon the occurrence, of the deficient harvest, when it condemned the ba- ken of Paris to sell their bread at a fixed price, while the Government engaged to make up to the bakers the deficiency ; but by a common sense rational and perfectly legitimate plan. The ex periment of 1853 was rather too expensive a one to be repeated. When the day of reckoning came, and the balance-sheet was struck, it was found that the system did not work well either for the Government or the people. It "was too mnch like robbing Peter to pay Paul ; for although it topped clamorous mouths and filled empty storr. ftchs, the relief thus obtained was upon a credit, for in the course of time the people had to make ap the loss by some other form of taxation. -' The Government now intends to keep hands off, aiid leave to individual enterprise the meas ures necessary to meet the current wantsonly taking to purchase and lay by in store, for the supply of the army and navy. It is proposed, and doubtless it has already been done, to throw open all the commercial ports to the free impor tation of all alimentary articles ; to prohibit the exportation of grain; to facilitate the interior transport by railways and canals by rendering it less expensive, and thus equalize as much as pos sible the price of food ; to adopt rigorous meas ures against all collusions aud other modes of raising prices ; and to create a demand for. labor, aud thereby raise the rate of wages and improve the ability of the working classed to purchase food. These are among the wise and salutary modes to be adopted by the French Government to meet the coming emergency. ' ' s " But France is not alone. In England the con sumption of wheat has increased in a much, great er ratio than the production ; so that, notwith standing the large crop of 1854, therei no more old wheat on hand now than there was at the be ginning of last year, after the very deficient har vest of 1853. ' In the meantime, the monarchies of Europe are lookiug for alleviation of their distresses to the model Republic. Qf the New World.

' At the time of the first contact with the Earth's shadow, the Moon wiH be about thirty degress from the zen ith, about ten degrees south of tlie cluster of stars iu the head of Aries. The Moon, while totally eclipsed, generally ap pears of a bright copper color, that part under t he centre of the shadow having the appearance of tarnished copper. Several instances of the total disapi durance of the Moan's dL c are ou rec ord. In 1001, according to Kepler,, it entirely disappeared. In 1642, not a vestige of the Moon could be seen, though a telescope, with different magnifying powers, was used lor the purpose. Also, iu 1816, in a total eclipse, it could not be seeu from London, even with the aid of a telescope. 1 he appearance it .tlie Moon, depends greatly upou the condition of the atmosphere.
