FELLOW CITIZENS: The pcrilous con-
dition Of our country demands that we
should reason together. Party organ
ization, restricted within proper linn
its, is a positive good, and indeed es-
sential to the preservation Of public
liberty. Without it the best Govern
ment would soon degenerate into the
worst Of tyrannies. In despotisms the
chief use Of power is in crushing out
party opposition. In our own country
the experience OF the last II months
proves, more than any lesson in histo
ry, the necessity Of garty organiza-
tion. The present Administration was
chosen BY party, and in all civil acts
and appointments has recognized, and
still does, its fealty and obligations to
that party. There must and will be
an opposition. The public safety and
good demand it. Shall it be new

GAS God lives, tho salvation OF the
Republic is in the extinction of slavery"
exclaims an abolition sheet published
here. 1t is difficult to determine wheth,
or tho exclamation partakes more Of ig-
norant vanity or impudent blasphemy.
The country is swarming with editors
and legislators who are so wise in their
own conceit that they can readily discov-
err the foolishness of Washington, Madi-
son, Hamilton, Franklin, and the other
great and good men who laid broad and
deep the foundations of the Government.
These mon supposed that the Govern
ment might exist with slavery, and hav-
ing due regard for vested rights and es-
tnblishcd customs, they made provision
for its protection in the constitution. -
They would doubtless be surprised, could
they now know that every abolition press
and pulpit in the country is animated by
statesmen who know more by intuition
than was ever dreamed of in their philos-
ophy--men who can declare positively
upon doubtful policy, and assure those
to whom they have access that rs sure as
God lives their ideas are correct.
This arrogant vanity in its boundless
impudencc would direct not only the re-
ligious and political opinions of the peo-
pie, but dictate to the Almighty what
should be his character and providences.
II has declared against divine revelation
rs God made it, and demanded an anti
slavery Bible and an anti-slavery God.---

The two great events Of the week past,

in tho Cabinet and the investigation Of
the Committee on the Conduct of the
War, as to the guilty party in suffering
so long delay in providing the necessa-
ny means for the army 10 cross the Kappa
hannock--are fairly before the nation, and
opinions, thoughts, views and discussions
thereon have been freely entertained and
conclusions arrived at. In regard to the
Cabinet rupture, few uneasy spirits in
the Senate, wiser, of course, than the
President, took the liberty to intimate to
him that the Cabinet needed at least
a partial reconstruction. Whereupon
Secretary Seward, understanding he was
an especial subject of wrath, forthwith
rendered his resignation, followed by Sec
rotary Chase. The Presidents knowing
his own business BEST and with all due
Difference to the opinion Of the sagacious
Senators, intimates 10 them, silently it is
true, but unmistakably, that he deems
himself capable of managing his own
affairs, and solicits withdrawal OF the
rendered designations, which is done, it
being deemed incompatible, with the pub
lie good that they should be accepted.
We hope that the rebuko thus eflectu-
ally administered to them, who seek in
their own wisdom TO become the advisers
Of tho President, (of whom we have had
altogether too many Of late for the good
of the couutry,) will not be lost, but
treasured up for future reference. We adj

CAUSE OF SEA- Sickness Prof. Bache,
connected with the United States Coast
Survey, advances the idea that sea-sick-
ness is the fault of the brain, and not Of
the stomach. He thinks the nausea is
caused from the fact that the mind is not
able 10 understand the varied motions OF
the vessel rs rapidly as the senses feel
them, thus causing conflict Of impress
ion, and consequent affection Of the
brain, which, in turn, dernnges the ner-
yous system and produces nausea. AS
soon as the mind can comprehend the
idea of each motion, rs soon as II is felt,
tho sickness ceases. The deck is conse-
quently the best place for one suffering.
