s.FIRsT CouETRr-TaEE PARTF."-Here is
a fact that shows how this popular idea is re-
garded at Washington. Lieut.. Col Benjamin
r. Watson ,of the famous Massachusetts Sixth
regiment, had not been home weak from the
seat Of war, before the order came for his re-
mova1 from the Poet-oftiee, accompanied with
the commission for 11is SUCCESSOR. No charge
vas alleged against him, hut It was probably
enough that he WIS Democrat-a Breckln-
ridge Democrst-and 3 delegate last year to
Charleston. He had been for three months In
the service Of "the country" while the new
man hadae,ved 'sthe party"hy lobbying around
the Departments 1t Washington. The people
Of Lawrence are evidently disgusted, and the
enlistment Of volunteers for the war Is an.

On Sunday morning last our citizsns we're

The short-sighted sticklers for an OBJ
seavance Of the usages Of party, who guar
relied with the TRIBUNE when it recon-
1nended the appointment Of Douglas
Democrnt to Mr. Douglass seat in the
Senate, vacated py his untimely death, see
now that the idea which dictated and in
sisted upon that recommendation,
is that which all true men
must adopt as the rule Of action, as
long Is this var lasts and the existence of
taae country is imperi11ed- They see now,
what We saw from the first, that for the
accomplishment sf the purposes Of the
Government j. its perilous struggle with
treason and rebellion, an united people is
the Indispensable perquisite, and that
though ouz late political opponents may
be, as We believe the body Of them are,
willing 10 make any sacrifices in the pat
riotic cause, they, as we should if situated
asthey are, demand public recognition of
their right to q voice in the management
and direction Of the Government affairs
that concern them go much. In q word,
the conviction has become as general as
profound that this can be in no sense
partisan war that during its continuance
the, Government must il no sense be par

this year and last gear arising from discor-
dant views Of matters OF policy must be

plsce-the honor Of tbs country and the
quick termination Of the war being the
only objects to be attained.
Take case N point: There is Mr.. Cam.

among Republicans as among Democrats

The death Of General GAruett In Western
Virginia gives rise to some interesting redec-
tions in connection with this strange rebellion
in Virginia. General GaInett left Paris for
home in March LAST, after having travelled
eighteen months In Europe and Africa, and
visited every country from Norway to the At
las Mountains Of Algeria While be was thua
absent and improving his mind for future use
falness By travel and observation. the Wises,
the Maaons and the P1yors Of his native State
were diggfnga grave for him. He declared
to the writer inst before leaving here, that he
would prefer to remain under fhs fag he had
always fought under, but that be would be
forced to fo1lew Virginia if she seeded, be-
cause al bis relatives, who we're leading nen
In the State, would do the same. Here, then,
Nas brave and scientific officer who had no
heart In secession, who had nothing to do
with the getting mp Of the reasonable plot,

forward into the dangerous places, while the
coneoctors Of the scheme remained behind in
safety. It Nas one mora of the oft repeated
