We dc moi understand any Republican as hav-
ing made such IA admission; or if any one mas
done so, he has certainly ceased to be RePuo'

all that Republicans admit as having force in it is
the single point that bred Scott could not bring

DISASTER TO THE SaIP ST.. NIcEoLAs.-Mr. Fred

to the ship:
The shin ST. Nicholas Capt. BSagdon, sailed for
Hayre the 9TH iust., and while going through Swash

heavy so 1all from westward which hove the ship ON

from going through the vessel let 60 the shan

Gov. Seward has certainly said a good many
clever things in the course Of his public life.
Take, for instance, the following gem cut of his
speech at Chicago on the I'd Of last October:
The battle IL ended and the victory /, ours Why then,
say they why not withdraw from the field For the simple
that If the victor retire from the field the vanquhed
will then back, end the battle will not be Why
should the victor withdraw and surrender all his conques' to
the conquered enemy Why should he place tie enemy back
upon the field and withdraw his gions into the far distance to
give him chance to reesb'h the line ths' has been broken
up The Republican party will complete thi great rcyOu
ton"
We commend this to the former Republicans
who now support the Crittenden Surrender, at
Washington, Albany, and elsewhere.
New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1861-02-11

The Milford Mass .JoarR0i has Washington
correspondent who sheds some curious light on
the Compromise movement at Washington. We
quote:
The pocy Of the Republican leaders has been large and
hold one such as great might imsgnt and carry out 1t has
been directed toward great cad They have irisd to shift their
nosiop from the Of AuiSlavery which
the late election carried TO the broad and song one
Union which the sudden charge and pressure makes now most
important"
1t takes great while fer great movement Of this be
carried out or there will be great deal Of resistance to
It, oIoae another ard plenty Of difference Of opinion
So here, where the line il being drIwn Nh Lo'JJy
and the whole wing Of The Republicans do not to
want follow Gov. Stewards lead Still it not likely that
they will break away for the present"
This is delicate and friendly way of descrb-
ing the scheme by which IL is proposed, in
substance, to take portion of the Republican
party of the firm ground of their own principles
and transform them either into Democrats Of
some modified type, or into an aggravated species
of Belleveretts. But wherever or by whOmsO-
ever that cline" may be drawn, we desire to
have II clearly understood that we at least shall
be found on the Republican side of it.
But what need is there of this "great move
ment" and this total change in the attitude of
the Republican party, which this writer admir-
ingly speaks of as being accomplished under the
lead of Mr. Seward 1t cannot be to establish
any more distinctly the fidelity of Republicans to
the Union, for that is perfectly set forth in the
Chicago Platform. 1t cannot be to strengthen
the hands of the new Administration, for Mr..
Lincoln has repeatedly and on all proper occa-
Sions declared himself TO be strenuOusly opposed
70 all such movements" But whatever may
be the motive which impels this great intrigue
We warn its authors that it will never answer
and that they viii do well to abandon it
without further delay. Every effort to make
she Republicans adopt the Breckenridge platform
or anything Ike it, will prove miserable fail
are. Not merely those who are classed as OK.
irene Republicans, like Nr. Lovejoy, will refuse
TO be led over that line but every man who
dos not desire the party TO commit suicide,
and thus consunmate tbe rum of the country,
vii heartily joia in resist ng the fatal attempt.
