Stern-Wheel Preachers, Tho reader is ready to inquire what sort of preacher is a stern-wheel preacher? He is who went into the rebellion with side wheels and double ongines, chafing and fitting, and boasting nnd blowing that the South would achieve her independence, dressed in cloth, and sporting their huge whiskers. comes out with a shattered stern-wheel, and a oncherse engine, dressed in gray homespun, asking to be allowed to tako the amnesty oath, as a means of saving his property, and cooly saing that he never took any part-in trying to break up the government.

Their treason festered hearts constitue tho safety valvea of their shattered crafts, and their reo-cord is their whistle, to ferment and keep alive the troubles of the State! Since peace has been declared, these stern-wheel preachers; with uplifted eyes, elongated facesdeep sepulcharal tones, and raised hands," pollute God's altars with their presetted, where the rccolleotion of treason and murder they have contributed to bring about, Foe the Chhonici.b.

Secretary Stanton. Mr. Thurlow Weed writes in the Times: "Tho truth is, that the first and paramount design of the secession leaders was to obtain, before or on the 4th of March, by coup d'etat, possession of tho capital with the sanction of Government. That design was thwarted Mr. Stanton.

As a member of Mr. I5uch-anan's Cabinet, he became informed of the treasonable objects of his colleagues, Cobbt Thompson and Touoey, and of the imbecility least, of the Ptesident. Placing himself confidential communication with Mr. Sew ard, Mr. Stanton went to his watch and his nvlt boldly nnd sasaciouslv.

Traitors were degrees weeded out of the Cabiuet, and their vacant seats given to Gen. Dix and Judge Holt, who co-operuted with Mr. Stanton aud Mr. Soward in prcservaing the Government, The 4tb of March approached, amid treasons and conspiracies in the highest classes. Wash ington was, without doubt, disloyal.

Aeons spiracy to assassinate Mr. Lincoln at JJalti more was ilisoovorcd and thwarted. On the occasion of tho inauguration, Gen, Scott had scarcely more than two thousand troops for the defense of the capital. The danger was imminent. But the chief traitors had been ejected from tho Cabinet.

Their plans wore disconcerted. Mr. Lincoln was inaugurated and tho Govenrment's salvation the peoplo and Union nre indebted to the' Roman virtue. of Edwin M. Stanton.

It was, I doubt not, owing to the 'coalition then formed between Seward and Stanton, timn tl, bitter was called into Mr. Lincoln's Cabinet. Such ordeals men's souls The life of a nation was in the issue. It was a 'bmnd from the The struggle bound Mr. Stanton and Mr.

Seward. 1 wos presont, meeting Mr. Stanton then for the first time Confidence had been established between tnese eminent men while engaged as oounselraany years ago, in an important and protracted trial, in Michigan, I believe.

This will add one more to the votes in favor of ratifying the Constitutional amendment abolishing slavery; and as it is not improbable that several other Territories will soon follow the eqaraple of Colorado and and come in as States, we may be able to rat' ify that amendment without New Jersy.

REPUBLICANS, A FEW WOKDS.

Our Elections this Pall, Tho votes ami excitement pf. ono election are hurdfy canvassed until we find ourselves engaged and interested in another. Our Fall Section promises to be iutcresting, although no candidate for lienors lias yet (submitted hia name. to the public or even the Republican Copvention-waiting a good ready, we suppose, We propose to canvass the subject somewhat and answer some questions: Several have asked us it" It ia the intention to have a Republican Convention this Fall? We answer, certainly. But, mja one, what the use, fur outsiders and those defeated before the Convention will combine and beat qui-nominee.

We answer, that it is more the pity for Republicans that they will allow any in the party so to act; and moreover, any man, either Democrat 01 Republican, who is not io favor of a Convention of his party, is rotten and should not bo, by his party or any one else, trusted. Mark that. If a man claims pot to be a party-man not a Demo ornt, nota Republican, nut a Unionist or any thing else, then him we except; but for such man who would cast a vote? Iht groatest men this or any Dation ever possessed, were strict partisans. If partyism is right and if it tends to keep politicians pure from being watched by vigilent opponents, and if it is necessary to the maintainanceofa free Government, then, to party let us adhere. Milk and water men ore an abomination to true men.

A Convention then will be called after our boys get home a Delegate Republican Con tho exclusion of tho disaffected. lias been a great hubbub rained by certain Independent Office'Seekers in behalf of our returning soldiers and their claims, (ieptlemen, just abate jour solicitude upon that poiut, hold up your milk and water generosity, as you aro needlessly wasteing it, and apply this fact: AH our soldiers are Union men and the greater proportion of them Republicans. Now you that are eo solicitous for their rights, will learu before the middle of next November, to your sorrow, that these Republican soldiers are not fools, neither fit subjects for your Hoft soap. Were they so wo would abandon the hope of Republicanism in this County and quietly submit to the shameful pollution, and low lived trickery that has beon displayed by offico seekers ever since our residence in it. After deliberations in Primary Meetings, and when as Republicans in Convention as tumbled, have we not manhood enough to lay aside petti-isms and to nominato, work for and elect our best men to fill our offices? All answer, yes.

Then why not do it? When the Chairman of the Central Committe makes ids call for Primary Meetings, let the Republicans in each precinct turn out and elect delegates of such stripe as they can trust, and we ndvise'that tho delegations consist of at least one-half returned soldiers, and give them Republican credentials, send them up to the County Convention with the assurance that their honest action will be by you ed, nnd also instruct them to admit none to their deliberations much less nominate any whj are not known to be staunch Republicans or hdnorally discharged soldiers, and we will gnarranty such a result as has not been experienced for years in this County, 'With a Convention so elected and its action carried out in good faith the peoplo will- have the satisfaction of seening a fair proportion of their offices filled by worthy, and compe tent soldier boys, the remainder by honest farmers and mechanics, while these "honest politicians," these wolves io eheeps clothing, these gwelbheads that are always declaring how much tho publio owe them and what great things they have done for the people, would be like the rest of us, to work for their bread or go without it. Voters often net as though county offices were hereditary, that because a man successfully filled an office once that he should bo re-elecUd, forgetting that a public officer is a public servant. A change of servants is often desriable. We have some very good county officers now, some of whom would still continue to do honor to those who placed them there, yet who beside themselves and particular friends would crj because of their removal? Republican Conventions In this County heretofore, in a great measure, have been introllcd. indirectly, bf cut-siders.

If the 1 right action in had at your primary meetings this difficulty will be obviated, bsoause then we but good men will be put forward for our suffrage. Whenever the Republicans of this County make op their minds to stand by their partj by our day the an of the by at in by swny their guilty' souls" and set the tune to their hymns of praise!

The Washington correspondent of tho Springfield Republican very Sonsibly says "Unless I make a very large sized blunder, Mr. Seward is yet master of the position. He possesses the confidence of tie Prosident, and the Blairs are not entitled to speak for the Administration. Mr. Seward's friends say that his health is almost restored.

Il this is so, depend upon it, it is out of the power of the Blairs, by any kind of intrigue to get him out of the Cabinet unless he desires to go out. Mr. Seward is a man of great abilities, and vastly suporior to any one of tho Blair Family, even in that kind of diplomacy of which they are so fond. Guwvv PuosrEcxs in Caxaoa: The New York Herald's Qoebco correspondent say: The Canadians have already, to a certain extent, initiated proceedings which their dele gates to the Detroit Commercial Convention said would be the result of a non-renewal of the Reciprocity Troaty. This was nothing less than throwing open their ports along the border, and encouraging smuggling.

Smuggling is now caried on to an almost unlimited extent along the frontier, nnd it is said, with the knowledge nnd connivance of the anadian Ministry. Tho correspondent de scribes thooondition of the providence as very npromsing. The taxes nnd other burdens are so heavy, and crops and trade prospects so poor, that thousands of the inhabitants ave already sold out, and are emigrating to the Far West.
