Sr. Pact, Minn., Sept, 19, 1860, Sepator Seward spoke yesterday from the portico of ‘the Capito! in this city to an audience of some six thou- Band poeple. He said:— ‘THE VALLEY OF THR MISSISSIPPI. Fuxiow Crnzevs—One needs to have had something of the experience that it has been my fortune to have, living in a State at an carly period of its material develope- ment and social improvement, and growing up with ite Growing greatness, in order to appreciate the feeling with which I am oppressed on this, my first entrance into tho fapital of the State of Minnesota, Every step of my pro- gress since I reached the Northern Mississippi has been amended by an agrecabie and great surprise. I bad carly read the works in which the geographer had described the scenes on which 1 was entering, and I had studied fhese scenes in the finest production of art. But still the grandeur, the luxuriance, the beneficence, the genisiity of this region were entirely unconcelved. When | saw these sentinel walls that look down on the ‘Mississippi, seen as I beheld them in their autamnal ver- are, just when the earliest tinges of the fall give variety ‘to the tuxuriance of the forest, 1 thought how much of taste and genius had been wasted in celebrating the high- lands of Scotland before civilized man bad reached the ‘banks of the Mississippi. And then that beautiful Lake Pepin scene at sunset, when the autumnal green of the ‘mills was lost in a deep blue hue that imitates that of the heavens, The genial yellow atmosphere reflected the ways of the setting sun, and the skies above seemed to @eme dowe to spread their gorgeous drapery over this soone. 1t was a piece of upholstery such as no band but ‘that of nature could have made; and it was but the vesti- ule to the capital of the State of Minnesota—a State which I have loved, which I ever shall love, for more reasons than time would allow me to mention, but chiefy because it is ope of three States which my own yoice bas been potential in bringing into the federal Walon within the time that I have been engaged in the federal councils. Every one of the three was a free Btate, and | believe, on my soul, that of the whole three ‘Mimneeota is the freest of all.

(Applause). Here is tbe central place where the agriculture of the richest re- gion of North America must bear its tribute to the sup- plies of the whole world. (Applause). On tho East all along the shore of Lake Superior, and on the West stretch- tag in one broad plain, in a belt quite across the cont!- ment, isa country where State after State is yet to rise, aad where the productions for the support of haman eoc!- ety in other crowded States must be brought forth. This Ja, then, a commanding field; but it is as commanding in regard to the destinies of this continent as it is in ro- gard to its commercial future, for power is not to ro. side permanently on the astern slope of the Alleghany Mountains, nor in the seaports. Beaports have always been overrun and controlled by the people of the interior. The people of the inland and of the epiand—those who inhabit the sources of the mighty ‘waters—are they who supply them with wealth and power. The power of this government hereafter is not to be established on either the Atlantic or the Pacific coast. The seaporta will be the mouths by which we (hall communicate and correspond with Europe; but the power that eball speak and shall communieate and ex- press the will of men on this continent is to be located in We Mississippi Valley, and at the sources of the Minsis- Sipp! ard the St lawrence, (Loud applause.)

It 1s peculiarly adapted to the growth of the products of this latitude, particu. larly cotton. In the aggregate the land is valued at $25,- 000. There are upon the plantation 117 negroes, as likely a set of boys and girls as you will see south of Mason & Dixon’s line, and valued at $98,600. The increase of ne- groes in twenty. five years has been 200 per cent. The number of mules and horses is thirty-eight, worth $3,800; value of cattle and implements about $1,000, This will make the aggregate value of the farm and stock $123,- 600, From this investment there will be raised this year 260 bales cotton, valued at $12,500; bushels of corn, 1,500, valued at $6,500; giving a clear income of $19,000, besides supporting on the fat of the Jand, and in sumptu- ons style, about 160 persons, and raising apy amount of sweet potatoes and garden truck generally. The planta- tion is under the immediate dfrection of the eldest som of the Governor, Emmet R. Johnson, Eaq., who, with his brother, Winder P. Johnson, Feq., are among the most Promising young men in the State of Georgia. ‘THE FAMILY OF GOVERNOR JOHNSON—1HEIR HOSPITALITY 10 4 STRANGER, ‘The family of Governor Johnson consists of his wife, ‘who is a blood relation of the late Ex-President Polk, two younger sons, besides those above named, and three daughters, one just budding into woman- bood, and the others, two pretty damsels, Southern young ladies who are destined to figare with brilliancy in Washington or any distinguished society. ‘The Governor is now absent on a Northern political tour, ‘but bis family is well presided over by his lady, who, of all the ladies I have seen, possessing varied political knowledge, is the noblest matron of them all. Her infor- mation in regard to political events in the North isas olear and profound as that of moet of the noted Northera politicians. In regard to Southern politics, the fountain of information possessed by the wife of the democratic can- didate for the Vice Presidency is overflowing.
