MORTO ** Gath's" Characterization of the Dead Senator. Morton's Rank Among the Leaders of American Politics. Obituary-Story of the Western Cromwell. Corrsspondence Clncinnati Enguirer (Dem.), New York, Oct, 30.—Morton was hardly & founder of the Republican party, but was one of its subscquent leaders, Ilis friends may falrly clahm that he had great Influ- enco over the Administrations of Lin- coln, Johnson, Urant, and Hayes; and that he advanced Indiana, by his blography and surroundings, out of tho personal medinerl- ty she occupled. Morton was the first distinct- Ively great man of that State,—was the greatest of his 8tats folk for original will and complete- ness of mental and physical character, e adi- cd to this determination the craft of a politician. ‘Thoss persons who chose to follow hitn were always proud of him, and he kept thelr aile- glance generally to the grave. 1le was born In Indfana fn the Administra. tion of Prestdent Monroe, and reared an orplian by hlsaunts. His carly e was partly spent abont Clncinnath. He went to school with Gien. Lew Wallace, nnd flest sigoalized his country- college Ly goud debating. He marrled before he was 22, and betore he had been ndmitted to the Bar, which was thirty-one vears ago. Six yenrs after entering the Bar he was mado a County Judge for o little time, He had always been a Democrat previously, and was a Free-Trader. In 195, at the carly ageof 33, ho stumped tho Stato of Iudiana as the Republic. an candidato against Ashbel I Willard, and lost the Governorship. Morton had been a slow, dullish oy, even shy, and well-behaved at school. In 1560 he was nominated, on a ticket with Heory 8. Lane and Benjamin Harrison, for Licutenant-Glovernor. Iie was soler as to liquor all his life. fn 118 PUBLIC 8PERCHES he argued, and did not appeal to funcy or feel- fng. UMis mind was constitutionally robust. “The rellgion of our Savior,"” he sald, "could not with any propricty lhave been termed sece tlonal, even whilc iLs profeseors were limited to a mere handful of Jews, for its splrit and prin- ciples comprehiended lnnanity everywhere and in all ages.”” He aleo drew the line fine against Disunlon Abolitlonists: It Is o matter of proud cangratulation that there Is not onc Dis- uniopist within the pale of the Republican party. Therels no part of the Republican plat- form upan which n Disunioniat can stand.” Morton disliked Dr, Grabam N. Fitch, Unfted Btates Senator, e said of Gov. Whitcomb: “The State of Indiana, perhaps, never pro- duced an abler or more honest man. He Is dead and gone, but atl delight to Lonor his memurfy." Ot Biephen A. Douglns, Morton sald, in 1560; 41t is wholly unimportant what . profession Douglas may make on the Slavery question, be cause ho fs belleved In the South to e thors oughly and ulu:rl[); dishouest and fncapable of hchuurun(ed by the South uny more than by the North,” In strong and rather dignifled personal vitu- Puml!uu und depiction, Morton was n master. 1is specches azninst Doulas in 1860 were as remarkable nstances of this us his fealous de- traction of Hendricks In 1570, Dougias was not handled so rouzhly by auybody in the West. lli.- m}:d of the Pro-Blavary versions of the Con- stitution: 411 Jelferson could have looked down the stream of thne, and scen these supplo tools ol Blavery crawling across his immortal page and ntcklmi to delace its inspired teachings, he would have torn the manuscript to fragments to preserve It from the defilement. ‘There was a time," added Morton, “when Liberty wus loved for her own sako: when devotion te her cause was not inspired by sctfish or ccononleal constderations: when her forin seemed so beau- tiful, and hier robes of such sputless purity, that she provoked the fdolatey of mankind, Who en stupid os not to sea thut Libertv fs shorn of her divine attributes, and becomes & thing of merely buman Invention, when shio 18 clalmed as the fnheritance of a pecullor race to the rejection of others!

Ioisthe great Lemocratie antl- quury, an vluures deeply futo the antiqultics of Amerfean politics; o sort of Old Mortallty, reviving the faded inscriptions upon Democratle monuments, Tho Democratie party fu times vast has done many gukd and glorious things, of which [feel ustly proud; amld I do now, and ever shull, protest apgalnst this inheritance of ry p“"l"f out of the lamily too basturd {s- sue, though it bears the swme wme.” Morton's apprearanve was always pertinent to this kind of sltack,—serlous, emphatie, nufliuching, swing- oz the sledgge. IL is also to bu sald fu Morton's favor that all attacks upon his morality or propriety been hearsuy, and never matters ot publh vestigation, iluluu not even been suspected fu uny case of ofliclal hnputation, ver tius he whitewashed anybody or pursucd them with suspicion, If nut a pure man in_every respect, he eschewed scaudal as a pulitical ally, Upon Mr. Buchanan, Morton was coarsely harsh, Ol Buck's bachelor llfe," he suid, Lwllihoa type of his Admintstration, for it will leave belifmd it no frait that ho will care to owa, and ne one to drop a tear to bis memory,” AS TR WAR CAME ON, After Lincolu's election, Morton came at once tothe front sgainst peaceablo Becesslon. * Ex- pecially must we of the inland States, ' he sald, “cling to the Natlonal jdea.

But the points of volicy he defended, even when he differed with the President, were based on a sagacious knowlelze of the prople's wisties, He touk a stand for a time nzninet contraction of the currency. Right or wrong, he feit that to be Indfana's desire. Suppose it was tot fudiciou « & flseal proposition, cer- tainly it was defensibie as » party siternative, if that party was worth presesving. In like man- ner he defended the acquisition of Santo Do mingo, as lrant's fdea, & thing of no cunac- quence elther ‘way, but made use of by disap- pointed political rats to air their rhetoric and references, In ehort, Mr. Morton belicved that, having a great party, collected together by fa- bar, with great traditions of victory, and ¢om- prising much Intellizence and phllanthropy, it was unwiso to gishand it for any passing differ- ences, “Stoop a little to the people who have trusted youj thelr neeesstics arc to be consid. cred.” I8 waa his policy H19 RADICALIM. On the Southern ?uuuloll. Morton held that the primal ldea of the Republican party was opporition to Blavery: Emancipation was [ts great achlevement; Disunlon its great antagon- Ist. He held that to let that cotnbination of the Slave-owner and the Disunionist monopolize the whole South again,—to do It by revolution 1f ry,—was futal to the prescrvation of his PRIVATE LIFE. In his private life, Senator Morton was the subject of much attack, the evidence for which waa never fortheoming, Many other Senators, us Cumeron and Carpenter, were directly in- dieted on soclal accounts, Morton, while Sen- ator, wae always an fnvalld, fiying for cure, or sitting with opcn doors on general reception. He was a robust man (o s day, hut it takes s very «deep suspivion to o the, fartherest avalust a great mun.
