sECRErARY STANTON.

There is one man, of the many men elevs.
ted to distinguished position during these re-
cent troublous times that is sure of his place OF
history. Itis the stern brusqas War Minister,
not making many friends, nor seeking many,
sufficient unto himself, who, leaving the pur.
suits of peaceful profession, became the
head of the War Departments at q ssnoss cri-
teal period in the late contest, and has pro-
we'd himself the right man in the right place,
the peer of the greatest men in historic an
nails. The Chicago Tribune jnstly says Of
him:
Whether or not Mr.. Stanton's acts during
the war have been as Mr.. Seward terms them,
'.divine," certainly they possess the divine at
tribute of causing the wrath of his enemies TO
praise him. Immediately on the return of
peace the Copperheads dsnanded the reno
val of Stanton on the ground that while he
was first rate Secretary Of War. fefspt var
period, hewss clearly unfit for AN 6nice IN
which there was no longer anything gigantic
to do. Now the Richmond Enquirer, which
still weeps in widowed weeds over the dust
of the dead rebellion, praises Stanton in It's
wrath by declaring that one such man in the
Confederacy would have saved it. There is
much weight in this hostile tribute. The
truth is the rebellion had to be subdued not
by law but by force. All physical forces are
moved by mental force, as the wheels Of
watch or engine are moved by an expansive
power that is invisible. To our armies Stan
ton more than any other man supplied this
mental force, this invisible but allcontrelliag
power More and more will this be felt as
the discerning sense of intelligent writers and
historians shall take the place of the tempo
rary babble of the crowd, and be heard when
the latter is forgotten. History viii do him
justice by tracing back the physical powers
that finally prevailed in the fight, in a great
degree to the mental force of Stanton, who
was foremost in. organizing victory and i'm
pellng our armies to success.
