( Of President Fllmore's Cnhinet Il
| Denounced by nSeeesSIOnlst.
From tho laehmond ExamlnCr.l
As II fit representative of the Carlile and
! Clemens element of the Convention, "thc
/ Hon. a. Il. II. Stuart has been nssocin-
| ted with two honorable gentlemen MS
! Commissioner TO wait upon Lincoln
Stuart goes for the first time to tue White
! House in good company. His irst per-
| inrmHnce in connection with the Couven-
tion WAS the preparation of vile libel
/ upon the Southern Confelcracy, which he
scattered broadcast among the phlegmatic
aud credulOus Dutchmen of Augusta II
I was Il rehash of every exploded, branded,
/ aud denounced Abolition slandeE of the
I Cotton States which could be pasted down
in his scrnp-book from the columns of the
! Itnies aud the Tribune. 1t was so ustound-
imGiy destitute Of truth, that it deserves
( 10 be bound up with the next edition of
/ the works Of Munchausen and of Mother
. Goose.
His next feat of elevated sta,esmanship
was ste"lthily TO whisper in the cars oftw
/ gentlemen at the Exchange Hotel n fable,
to the effect that the ScreSsiOnists design
/ ed turning out Letcher and placing Mise
/ in his place This position spread until
, Gov. Wise hauled him up in the presence
! OF the Convention, and pinned him 10 the
+ walls. us a gnme-keepcr would. a weasel
caught in The fact. Tle WAY in which he
wrlESiedI sqHirmed, equiyncGtcd, devOured
his words, shuhled and lodged upon thnt
/ occasion, mRutied with shame and indig-
nation the check Of every Ecntlemnn who
I witnessed the humiliating spectarlp. When
! his injured tormenter was at last visited
I by computations of mercy, aud released
I his gripe upon him, the "HOn." Sandy
Stuart sneakcd of, feeling very much MS n
shecp-devouring dog is supposed to look
when caught reh.mOuihed with the orpus
dsticti OF his oiiense upon him.
I After that performance. the men of char
acter among the Submissinnists dircoveretl
that they had no further use for Mr. Fill
morc's 'iJecmes YcllOwplUsh" ms leader
/ on the floor of the Convention. Tie
Scots, the Mnrshalls, the Earlys and the
I Moorcs, and all the rest of the mummieS
of nerve, discovered that sapping and
| mining WAS the line of business best suit
F.: ted for Stuart
I They scduously excluded him from ali
Z participation in the debates, fearing that
some one would call for the reauiug of his
/ MuuchHusen Epistlc to the Dutch, aud
/ dEain cover him. with a humiliation as ter
riblc as that which followed the ventilation
/ of his Exchange Hotel revelations. Whilst
! little or nothing WAS seen of Stuart after
his exposure, during the first days of the
session of tile Convention, all knew that
| he was stealthily burrowing AMI doing all
I the harm he could, at a convenient dis
/ tance from the post of danger. In scatter
/ ing false reports, in yitaliziug dead mis-
/ representations OF tue Cotton States, in
lattcring and underpinniug lie bilnrious
Lctcher, in skulkinG backwards and for
! wards between Mechanics Hall and the
White House at Washington, in seduuing
/ and nlluring on to their ruin, agricultural
/ pumpkins like '.Wikknm," and as Artful
Dodger and Jerry Sneak in ordinary 10 the
SubmiSsiouists, Stuart hns been useful.
I II is not improbable that he has also been
active in pursunding Virginia Submission
lists to wear ;he livery of the BtbOcu of
7 Illinois, and his hatred of brave and hon
Durable men may account for the removal
Of that noble aud MANNED old soldier, Col
/. Wiley, from Office.
If NC mistake not, tue first puhlic rxhi-
bition which the collapsed FOOtman of the
] Interior has made since his anbutton;np
by Mr.. Wise, WAS in the debate about
sending Commissioners 10 ask King Kan
garoo what he means ny his contemplated
conquest of tile Cotton States WAS to be
effected. He is reported upon that occn-
sion TO have Composed Sirgiaia's asking
4 Lincoln his policy, and referred to Mr. Ty.
Ter, who. he said, he was snre would not
have allowed such intermeddling when he
was President, at the time of the Atlinis-
sion of TeXns. They should not pluce
/ Virginia in a false position towards the
present Executive, which wAs not their
own, aud therefore they should approach
il with all the forms and etiqnette pOssi-
J Bile. He moved that the President 0f the
Convention iniurm the President Of the
United States that the Convention favored
/ n peaceful policy" sl-
/ The speech IS dhguerreotype of its au-
thor. A genuine hnnkey, reeolIerting
those days of glory when he ssported his

the South .'trith all iie forms and cereaio-

Preston and Randolph, who are associated
with him on his mission, go down upon

( rrostration are his synonyms for "form"
and ceremony" He wonld like to wrig-

nhjert prostration. He would like the
supreme felicity. Of dining with, Lincoln,
aud OF drinking wine with the Prince of
