EDVIN NJ. STANTON.

The World sees fit to say of the dead War
Minister that
"Mr. station was the creature Of circumstances AT
tbe ontbreat OF tho war; he secessonst strong
prosouthera feeling then prevailing in Washington, and
b being one OF those npressbe natures that act as
they are acted upon" -.
This Is not true yet there is truth in its
neiobborlOod that may mislead the prejudiced
into a haf.belief IN it, That truth is simply
this: Mr.. Stanton was Democrat-an ardent,
active. Jealous Democrat-and rs such was
intent, throughout the Winter of 1SCO-6l, on
forcing the Republicans to back out OF their
resistance to Slavery Extension. We do not
know q Democrat of that day who did not
concur with Mr. Stanton in this. All OF them
held tho Republicans responsible and culpable
in case they should persist in refusing
TO open the Territories to Slavery
all of them insisted that we ought to
to surrender our cardinal principle in order to
avert Civil War and save the Union. Mr.
stanton thought, felt, and acted, like other
DemocrSts-like those who held Conservative
meeting IN cur City in December. 1850 and those
who held n State Convention at Albany,
Feb. list, 1861. Among these were such men
rs Daniel 8. Dickinson, Lyman Tremain, ana
Thomas G.. Alvord, who, like s.r. stanton dis,
carded party in behalf Of COUNTY, ON anu

say that Mrs. fuller is not very much alarmed,
