STANTON AS HE wAs.-A gentleman was
in our office yesterday who was in the EN-.
ploy of Edwin NJ. Stanton for six years,
from 1912 to 1S4S. He says that his first
lessons in politics were taught him by
Stanton, who learned him to hate the abo.
lition party as the curse of the country and
as party which would eventually destroy
the Union and overthrow republican insti
tutions. Weak in moral principle and
brbcd by favor, Stanton has now become
chief instrument in accomplishing the very
designs which in his better days he taught
his friends to resist.

We are told by the administration press
that it is "disloyal" to denounce a war
carried on in the interest Of political fanat-
icism and against the interests of the gov
eminent and the people. In answer to the
charge, we call their attention to the lam
guage of Mr.. Lincoln himself used in 1861.
Here it is, --... -.. ..... "a
"This var, SO far as have anything to
do with it, is carried on on the idea that
there is Union sentiment in those States,
which, set free from the control now held
or rebel power, will be sufficient to replace
those States in the Union. If am mis-
taken in this, if there is no such sentiment
there, If the people of those States are
determined with unanimity, or with a feel.
ing approaching unanimity, that their
States Shall not be members of this Con-
federacy, it is beyond the power of the
people Of the other States to force them
to remain in the Union and, in that con-
tingcncy-in the contingency that there
is not that sentiment there-this war is not
only an error, it is crime"
We always have believed and it appears
now that we are correct, that a majority of
the inhabitants of the Confederate States
are willing to return to their allegiance, but
Mr.. Lincoln has boldly declared in direct
violation of his own word, the Constitution
and laws of the land, that he will not con-
sent to Peace except-and the ITO whom it
may concern has irrevocably decreed it
upon "the abandonment of slavery" IF we
understand his own logic the very war he
is now waging is crime and certainly no
northern traitor has made use of strong.
or languages than his own which we have
quoted. ~

Ire Missouri Democrat, an abolition
sheet, has published long account of a
conspiracy for the erection of Northwest
ern Confederacy. 1t claims that the or.
ganization engaged in this conspiracy is
known as the "Order of American Knights"
and that the real object is to annoy and
embarrass the government for the supre.
macy of the order, and that it has different
professions and intentions in different
States. 1t is supposed to uphold the war
policy in New York, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and in other Eastern States, while
in the West it is for peace. The order
originated in the Southern States and was
erected on the ruins Of the Knights of the
Golden Circle, and that Gen. Stearling
Price is its supreme commander. Vallan-
digham, while in Richmond, was made
supreme commander of the Northern Sec
ton Of the order, and entered into con-
spiracy between him and the rebel author
tiles to divide the East and West and thus
aid the Southern rebellion. Among those
connected with this sham movement, the
government has the names of VIM. B.
Reed, Of Philadelphia; Pendleton and
Pugb, Of Ohio; Kribbcn, of st. Louis !;
Story and Merrick, of Chicago, and all
those who visited Vallandigham at the
Clifton House. 1t charges that the results
of the Ohio conference are also known to
the administration. About the first of
January an address was issued by Vallan-
digham to the several lodges in the loyal
states in which he called upon the members
to stand firm to their vows and says that
the time is approaching which will test their
sincerity. This slanderous charge upon
the northern people who have pleaded and
prayed for the protection of the Union
while Greeley, Phillips and others have
openly declared in favor of the right of Sc
cession, maintains still farther that meet
ings have been held at different times and
in different places and programmeskdopted,
all for the sole purpose of overtime wing the
government. This abolition farce, got up
for the purpose Of forcing the election of
Lincoln upon the people as the next Presi-
dent, is designed to counter-balance the
feeling in its own party against Lincoln
arising out of his expressed determination
to refuse to accept Peace on any other
grounds than the extinction of slavery.
