Secretary Stanton.
Mr. Stanton has few friends in these I
Southern States-here he is regarded
as a man of most -violent passions,
which have become embittered by
four years of civil war against tho
people and against the individu?is ot
these States-his removal from tho
Cabinet would be a source of great
pleasure throughout the South. Such
removal would be accepted as a good
will offering to these people, as an
earnest that peace and harmony, good
feeling and kindness were really ;
desired on the part of the North, und
that to obtain these great objects,
even the claims of Mr. Stanton were
not permitted to intervene between j
the Union and the patriotism of the
South.
Even while sharing with the peo?
ple of the South the bitterness of'
feeling toward the Secretary of War, !
we must bear testimony to his firm?
ness, perhaps stubb orness, to his un?
flagging industry, and to his devoted
sentiment of Unionism. An earnest
enemy is more admirable than a
vacillating and unstable man. Mr.
Stanton, during the war, never failed
in illly Ihiug timi cwvilcl contribute to
the suet-ess of his cause. When defeat I
overtook his amis, when the public
spirit waned under repeated military
disaster, and all seemed lost for his
cause, neither his resolution nor his
courage failed him. One commander
after another was dismissed, as one
army after another was destroyed.
McClellan made way for Pope, who, j
more unfortunate than his predeces- !
sor, paid the same penalty. Again
McClellan was superseded by Burn- !
side, and then Hooker, and then
Meade; and thou Grant. But amid
all the disasters that caused these
frequent changes, the Secretary re
mained firm and immovable-de- .
termined and unyielding in defeat, he
was seldom tried by victory; but in 1
defeat his resolution never to give \
up the cause was often made apparent. ?
To no one man ia the United States ?
more than to Mr. Stanton can the
success of thc United Statos army be
attributed. Stanton in Washington,
co-operating witli exhaustion in tho
South, overthrew the Confederacy.
Neither Lincoln, nor Grant, nor
Sherman, contributed more to suc?
cess than Stanton.
His implacable and unrelenting
hatred of the people {of those Statos,
his want of confidence in the honesty
of their oaths, his violent and vindic?
tive animosity toward everything
Southern, now stand in tho way of
peace and harmony, and his retire?
ment would lie the moans of cement?
ing tho Union. Those great qualities
which ho exhibited during tho war in
tho administration of the Depart?
ment an- no longer needed -they are
actual impediments in the way of
(piiet and restoration. He could not
be otherwise than bitter and unfor?
giving, because his nature is harsh,
severe, and unrelenting. He may
excito admiration, but he can never
enjoy popularity either North or
South. Men like him are never
popular; they aro useful, and, in
times of emergency, are made use of,
but they aro never beloved. He lias
justly won the admiration of the
North, but he now stands in the way
of tho complete restoration of tho
country; his services can be dispensed
with without danger to peace. We
are glad to learn that his seat in the
Cabinet depends on chances.
lu the violence of conflict, motives
are often misunderstood und mis?
represented ; the means taken to obtain
?tn end are often necessarily harsh,
and sometimes illegal and unconsti?
tutional, but if the end be worth the
sacrifices required for its attainment,
of what consequence are the means?
Mr. Stanton has been greatly de?
nounced for his violent measures
r.gainst the liberties of speech, the
press and the persou. He trampled
under foot these great rights in the
pursuit of his great end, and he suc?
ceeded. On the other hand, Mr.
Davis paid the mose scrupulous
regard to all the proprieties ol Magna
Charba, and he failed. If the rights
of persons and of property, if
the musty nonentities of Magna
Charta had been utterly disregarded
and forgotten, and national inde?
pendence had been pursued "with
an eye single to its attainment, and
a hand firm to its purpose, if less
regard had been paid to individual
liberty and more to national inde?
pendence; if these Southern States
could have a Stanton in their "War
Department, with their Lees, Jack?
sons and Johnstons in the field, the
United States might have had as
many Grants and Shermans as there
"were first and last commanders to the
Army of the Potomac, and this day
would have witnessed the Confede?
racy a nationality. But Mr. Stanton
had served his country in all that he
can be of service; now he is in the
way of that country's unity. Let
him retire, and when we have another
war, may he be the Secretary.
