A, Williams & Co., of Bos ton, have published this week, & new political biograph ontitled ‘‘Thad- deus Stevens, the Commoner,” by E B. Cellender, of the Massachusetts bar. From advance sheets of the work are appended a fow extracts il- lustrative of various places of the strong character of the great Penn sylvania leader Thaddeus Stevens was born in Dan- ville, Vermont, April 4, 1792, The education which his mother secured for him was by no means inferior, and in 1815 he graduated at Dartmouth College, and immediately went to teaching in the acadcmy at York, Pa. Stevens' greatost triumph in the Pennsylvania legislature was his defeat of the bill, brought forward by the democrats, for the repeal of the free school law, which was not adopted in that Bourbon Commonwealth until 1834, The noxt year a determined of- fort was made to repeal it, and petitione, containing 31,008 names, were sent in favor of the repeal, and only 49 petitions, with 2,675 signers, against, Stevens was ¢ ed by a small majority and under positive in- structions to vote for repeal. ‘In. stead of doing so, he became its chicf defender and, when the bill repealing the law came from the senate, where 1t had passed, to the house, he wmade what is conceded to have been the most effective speech of his life. In fact, he himself styled his labors in that cause as the crowning utiiity of his life;’ and at another time he re- marked he should feel himself abun. dantly rewarded for all his efforts in behalf of universal education if a single child, educated by tho com- monwealth, should drop a tear of gratitude on his grave During its delivery in the hall of the house at Harrisburg, the scene was dramatic and the intercst intenso. The orator was forty-threo years old, He wasin tho fullness of his vigor. There was vothing weak or literary about him. His action was virile,” His classic countenance, noble voice and direct- ness of style, coupled with the glori- ous cause he was advocating, created such a feeling among his fellow-mem- bers that for once at least a legislature rose superior to all selfish interests, and obeyod the instiucts of a highor nature. The motion to repeal the law failed, and the numbar of votes pledged to sustain it were changed upon the spot. Inevitable defeat at first seemed imminent; but an un- equivocal victory was the result. The ‘| free school was saved to Pennsylvania. The name of ita saviour was Thaddeus Stevens,” Mr. Stevens was one of the first of the anti-slavery whigs to join the re- publican party. He was a delegate to its first national convention, and was elected from his old district as a mem- ber of the Thirty-sixth congress in the last days of Buchananw’s term. He was a determined opponent of all at- tempts at & compromiso with the do- fiant seccssionists, because he be- lieved them to be beyond the reach of any honorable overtures. “‘Let there be no bloodshed until the last mo- ment,” was his word, ‘‘but lot no cow- ardly counsels unnerve the people; and then, at last, if needs be, let every one be ready to gird on his ar- mor and do his duty.” And he de- clared that he would “expatriate him- self” if he thought Peunsylvania would be willing to ‘“‘purchase peace by unprincipled concessions to insur- gents with arms in their hands.” “‘With the thirty-seventh congress,” says Mr. Callender, ‘‘Thaddeus Stevens began his undisputed rule of the country as the chairman of the committee on ways and means, Few men have ruled over an empire like the one he controlled. He held, as it were, the destinies of a nation in his hand. He directed the spirit of war in the halls of congress, Men yielded to Lim even when they believed him wrong. The power of bringing men to his side, of submitting themto him, he poesessed in a remarkable degree. But deper thanall that was the man’s reality, which mads him a cloud by duy, a pillar of fire by night. There was no sham about him; no cant, He believed in something; was in earnest, was real; and men trusted him, not wholly feared him; nay, at heart they loved and admired him. He stood for something. He had an object in view, and he pursued it relentlessly to the end—the equality of men before the law.” Mr, Stevens’ manner of riding rough-shod over his opponents is wel illustrated in this extract from his #peech on the confiscation bili: “We are told,” said he, *‘that because the constitution does not allow us to con- fiscate a certain species of property, therefore we cannot liberate slaves, Mr. Speaker, I thought the time had come when the laws of war were to govern our action; when constitu. tions, if they stood in the way of the laws of war, in dealing with the enemy, had no right to interfere. Who pleads the constitntion against ouraction { Who says the constitu- tion must come in bar of our action ¢ It 18 tho advocates of rebels-.-of rebels who have tought to over- throw the constitutlon and trample it in the dust---who repudiate the consti- tution, 8iv, these rebels, who have disregarded and set at defiance that instrument, are, by every rule of mu- nicipal and’ international law, estop- ped from pleading it against our ac. tion. The law established in the days of Cicero—Inter arina silont leges—is alaw that has been in torce down to the present time; and any nation which disregards that Jaw is a poor, pusillanimous nation, which submits its neck to be struck off by the en- emy. As early as 1862 he warned the southern sympathizers that “‘if this war is to continue, there will come a H. M & M. PEAVY THE time when it will be declared by this free nation that every bondman in the south belonging to a rebel shall be called upon to aid us in war against their masters, and to restore the Union.” Nor did he share the views of some easy optimists that the war would be of short duration. As early as July 24, 1801, he said, in urging & large appropriation: ‘I CLOTHIERSI 1309 Farnham Street.
