No COMPROMISE With Traitors.

The Philadelphia North american refer
ing to the efforts among certain so-called
Conservatives to organize a new party fol
the Presidential campaign, intended to in
ure to the benefit of Copperheads and Reb-
els, Conservatives, Wings, Know -nothings,
every body, In fact, except the loyal Repub-
lican party who are still masters of the sit
uation, protests, as do We, against any such
dodge. As is well said by the North Amer
ican, ''this scheme will not work. We have
vast amount of work yet to do, not merely
in the carrying of elections, although that
has more significance than some seem to i'm
agine, since in three separate cases Presi-
dent in favor of Northern principles has
mysteriously been substituted by Vice
President favorable to Southern principles.
The question in regard to carrying the cleo
tions is whether the Republican majority
shall be allowed to rule or shall be prevent
ed from doing so. The Republican party
must be restored to the power that has been
filched from it by the aid of assassination
and treachery. Until that shall be done we
want no more men seeking nominations of
us only to betray us when in position. But
after we shall have carried the Presidential
election, as, of course, we shall, the great work
Of the party must go ON in Congress and
in the country, and those who do not under
stand what that work is, had better not un-
dertake to play the part of counselors in
our ranks

Secretary Stanton has taken grount

Secretary Stanton has taken ground
againts the recent opinion of the Attorney
General. He differs with him in nearly
every essential point as to who are entitled
TO registration This stand on the part of
Mr.. Stanton will not prove surprising to
the country. 1t will in a great measure
make up for the silence he has maintained on
other important political subjects, and tend
greatly to satisfy the people that his tenaci-
~ in holding place in the Cabinet, proceed
ed from no retrogression from the cardinal
principles of his party.

There seems to be no doubt that some of
the buccaneers and pirates who composed
the Confederate Navy during the war of
the rebellion, are now engaged in kidnap-
ping freedmen, by inducing them to take
passage on board emigrant ships to Liberia,
when they are run to Cuba and sold into
slavery. Southern men who now live in
Cdba cultivating plantations there. buy the
negroes and then say they purchased the
chattels from Yankees, In order to screen
the kidnappers who are engaged in the traf-
fc. And to complete this brutal business
it only needed the Copperhead press of the
North to insist that the trade" is carried
on by Yankees.

The Copperheads who met in convention
and nominated Sharswood for Supreme
Judge, contemplated the passage of resolu-
tions denouncing the License law rassed at
,ns ae OF the Iaqbs bv but ds shs
mined threats of few pure men, members
of that body, who declared that if such an
effort was made a row would be the result.
This squelched the offending resolution. 1t
leaves the Copperheads, therefore, in the
attitude of having whisky on one shoulder
for the liquor men, and water on the other
shoulder for the temperance men. 1t is a
fair exhibition of Copperhead consistency.

The Copperhead council of Reading has
discovered that it would mar the beauty
of the streets of that city to erect Soldiers
Monument in any part thereof. Certainly,
as the same party denied the soldiers the
right to vote while they were battling for
the Government, it is consistent to refuse
them honorable sepulture

Mrs. Surratt had declared in presence o!
her son John her willingness to give one
thousand dollars to any person who would
kill Mr. Lincoln These would of them
selves be very suspicious circumstances,
but taken in connection with the evidence
before the Military Commission, touching
her visit to Surrattsville with the bottle of
whiskey, and the shooting irons on the
day OF the.murder, and her pretense that she
did not know Payne, there is no room left
for doubta as to her guilt

When the Attorney General seeks to give
his construction of the law, the force of the
law itself, he is guilty both of an imperti-
nence and crime. The only Iaw-making
power in this country is Congress, and
whatever the President or the Supreme
Court may say to the contrary, the will OF
Congress ought 10 stand, and will be made
stand.

Leading citizens of New Orleans have
united in bearing testimony to the worth
and integrity of Collector Kellog, against
whom serious charges were preferred to the
President. The main fault of the Collector
appears to have been his sympathy with the
Republican Party. The document impugn-
ing his character for honesty, mentioned
thirty citizens of New Orleans, who would
attest the truth of the charges when scalled
upon. Twenty-six of the gentlemen have
signed paper endorsing Mr.. Kellog and
denouncing his accu sers, while the remain
irg four are unknown

From New Orleans special to New
York states that General Beauregard, in
conjunction with the National Bank ring of
New Orleans, and few of his personal
friends, has been attempting little game
of sharp practice on the Government,
which fortunately failed, owing to the
vigilance of the officers OF the Treasury
Department. Among the assets transferred
to the Government to secure il against loss
from the May-Whitaker Sub-Treasury de-
falcation, was the New Orleans and Carol
ton Railroad, of which May held large
amount of stock, and which is now under
the superintendent of Beauregard. His
friends offered $24O, 900 TO the Government
for it, but as it was valued at 100000 the
bid was refused. In the meantime the Gre
ole General wrote to the Department repeat
edly, depreciating the value of the road,
and stating that the bid was too high. For
tunately special agent in New Orleans saw
through the game and blocked it.

and fifty German immigrants This is the
pioneer vessel of the line, and is the first ship
which entered the port of New Orleans under
the newly adopted flag of the North German
Confederation The German residents of the
Crescent City have given the new corners a
grand public reception, and Louisiana has ac-
complished the first step in the great work OF
encouraging and receiving European immigra-
tion.
1t is hoped that before long the arrival at
this port will be announced of the bark Gauss
referred to in the letter of Captain MELcnERs,
