Mr.. Weed was born in Balston, Sara
toga county, N. Y, and with his wife,
who survives him came 20 this county
in 1919, when it was little else than a
wilderness. In the days of their vigor,
nhey settled in the dense and animated
orest, amid privations and alone; but
Eby perseverance, industry, and trugality
Fthey soon were gratifed to see the syl-
"an valley yielding for them golden
harvest. BY and by they were ena,
bled to erect the first tannery, gristmill
and sawmill, though rude structures,
they were boons for the later settlers.
Mr.. Weed was an exemplary man
affectionate and vigilant as a husband
and father, charitable when it was a
virtue honest and upright, May eter-
nal happiness be his everlasting re-
ward. w. w. 5.

The National hteIiigeRcer, which seems
to be the organ of the President, and Which
certainly has, during the last few months.
loreshadowed his action upon many i'm
portant matters, makes the following sig
nificant allusion to the Secretary of War
If it be claimed that the peculiar qualifi-
cations of MIR. Stanton for the cNtraordin-
ary iuncture of the war justified his in
cumbency heretofore, the same reasons de-
monstrate the impolicy of his retention in
time of peace. His expulsion from The Cab
net by President johnson mould, zoe can not
doubt, be halted by The country toih nearly
WsaRimOaS appreciation.
With all our heart (says the New York
Times do we hope that the hteHigencer in
licates in this paragraph the purpose of
the President. Never can peace be fully
established, never will the war against the
conquered and submissive people of the
south be finally and forever ended while
Mr. STANTON retains the Portfolio of War.
Away with him, then, and let peace once
more reign throughout the land.

An Obvious Fact t'Admittod.

The Springfield, Mass, Repubticon. al
though stcadfist in its devotion to the So
called Republican party, Is honorably dis
tinguishcd from the common herd of its
contemporaries by its ability and candor.
Speaking of THAD. STEVENS, the acknowl-
edged leader Of the radicals in Congress
that journal says;
"Mr. Stevens is a strong man, but his forte
is destruction, not creation. His opinions
are extreme his declared policy reaction
ary and rItinOus. And vet he intends and
expects to lead Congress. step by step, to
the adoption of that policy, and will know
too well how TO use the present inilamed
state of feeling among the members Tor the
accomplishment of his purpose. IL is his
avowed determination that the existing
state governments of the South, organized
under the direction of President Lincoln
and President johnson. shall be annulled
and DESTROYED, and military or civil gov
crnments established on their ruins. 10 is
his determination that the property of the
South shall be conliscatcd and distributed
among the freed negroes and Union sol
dcrs, and that the southern states shall be
ruled rs Territories for an indefinite period.
Suppose Congress shall be induced to adopt
either of these measures; suppose bill
passed for supprcssing the state govern
mcnts which the Executive has recognized
rs regularly formed and legitimate. II
needs no words to show that this must lead
To actual collision. The President would
refuse to enforce such an act; he would re-
Sist its enforcement with all the power in
his hands, and consider himself bound so to
do by his oath to maintain and defend the
Constitution. The consequence Of such a
conflict of authority between the President
and Congress are too fearful to contemplate.
And yet, to just this calamity does the de-
clared policy of the trusted and followed
leader of the House point"
To this complexion hath it come at last.
The above does not come from any Demo-
ratio or 'Copperhead' journal, but from
pne Of the most ably conducted and inluen-
tial Republican papers in the very centre
