Grant, and one of the important points wherein ho differs from Mr, Lincoun, Mr. Linco, previous to the organization of the Republican party, hod beon a leading Whig, and the new party was largely mado up of Whigs. He was in full fellowship, too, on the cardinal question of slavery, with the Democratic and Abolition members of the coalition which constituted the Repub- lican party. While President he occasion- ally differed with distinguished Republicans ; but in addition to their confidence in his shrewdness as a politician, his sterling sense, and his statesmanlike sagacity, he was able, in all these differences of opinion, to fallback and stand upon a long and anim. peachable Republican record. This gave Lim 9 strong hold upon the affections of the masses of the party, and helped him to generally carry his point against those of its leaders with whom he liappeacd to differ, At was for the lock of such a record that ‘ANDREW JomNsON {cll so easy a prey to the Republican leaders when they joined issue with him after he assumed the Presidential office, Old Bey Wavr illusiratod this on Yhe memorable occasion whea JorNsoN sent to the Senate one of his earlier vetoos, clothed iu rather haughty language. “ Who is this man,” said Wa raising his volee tl the corridors of the Senate rang again—- “who ia this man that presumes to lecture us about patriotism and the Constitution ?

From the very outset of Gen, Grant's sarrender to Messra, Fisit and Scamen have rv we ly called public attention to the fact that tho American Government was play ing into the hands of the same euemics of the country who during our contest with the Bouth exulted over the anticipated extine Vion of the Republic and of American Aufluence on this continent, Mr, Fisit has made the pablic believe that Bis subseryi toward European monarchy Was nor Cletatel by innate funky “m, but only by fear of compromising the questions pending with England, But now it turns out that this assertion was all hypocrisy, and t no forcign powor has exerted more inflnencs An favor of Spain than the same @ reat Britain | against which Mr. Fis hae tended Yaunch his paper bullets, ial If the United Btates were stil European colony, and HAmiTon Frei ite royal gover nor, he could not have acted more in obedi- ence to the wishes of Old World potentates than he has done in his present position as Secretary of State of the American Union, The Trial of Secretary Belknap. When Gen, Bui kn AP was appointed Secre- tary of War, ho was little known to the country; but his acts and his apparent char acter have, since he has been at Washing- ton, done much to give him a good reputa- tion, and it is generally thought that he is far superior ag a man and as a public officer to the majority of his colleagues in this weak and insignificant Adiinistration, But he is now abguy yo bo subjected to o trial which will seriously test his manhood and his con. science, If he fuils, it will be the end of lim; if he succeeds, ho will deserve a high place in the confidence of the people. Congress has appropriated forty thousand dollars fora survey of the Isthmus of Da- rien, with a view to ascertaining whether a canal can be made there. The act provides that the survey shall be made ander the di- rection of the Secretary of War, that is to ay’, by officers of his Department. Notwith- standing this plain provision of the act, Gen, Grant has been seduced by his special fa vorite, Admiral Porrrn—an evil genius of the Government—into having it done by offi- cers of the Navy, under the direction of Ponrsn ; anda naval expodition has actually sailed for the purpose. tT fraud upon the law cannot be carried through, however, without the assistance of the Sveretary of War. He has the money in lis hands, and it cannot be procured for the use of this unlawful survey without his sig- natare. The President and Admiral Portex may begin their scheme ; they ean usurp for the Navy Department the authority that the act of Congress commits to the War Depart. ment alone; but they cannot get the appro- priation without the connivance of Gen, Berxnar. If he ean be’ brought to certify to a falsehood ; if he ‘can be induced to de- clare that the survey has been made under his direction, when it has been made exclu- sively under the direction of Ponrer; if he can be persuaded to draw the money out of the Treasury under false pretences, and to hand it over to the President's naval favorite, why then tho President and Porter can accomplish this little game without difficulty. But if Gen, Betnnar is made of the matorial which goes to compose an upright man, who yields to no ontic ments and becomes a party to no frand and no violation of the law, why then Porrnn’s game will be blocked, and the dignity of the law will be vindieated. This is tho trial that now bescts Gen. Benxnap. It is to be hoped that he will come out of it spotless and triumphant. It will be a thousand times betver for him to be dismissed from office and go home to Towa with the Inw on his side, than to remain Seeretary of Wor as a reward for conspiring with Admiral Porrer to nullify the law aud set it aside by Exceutive usurpation, ‘ —— That notorious Whig-Republicau-Know- Nothing-Democrat, the Hon, Asrmanam O' Hat, who indites his diatribes against his late political associates from the Mayor's office, and procures publication in the Jratd, yesterday philos- opbized in the Ring organ after this fashion : + Never mind the people, ner % thing but the voles oa 8 sent to the Legisiatn urvy here, and whe, if d hice been sent to be ‘And this fe the Kind of Demecraey that is Proashed Uy In the name of reform and wurity—ta uw eufa crusade jose ‘the Ri Conaid thot for @ dozen years ot 80 the Hor O'Mut was the Dirizics Attor- hoy of this county, and that the pigeon-holes in his office were filled with srutried indictments a@cainot th dag we Me TT ttebutta-bed confessions ? —— \ notified th he Hav wl thet a Cobon—Caserea by name—bad been are " mpl a the murder of Gunkx- wa ly wonder is that loug before this sonic 4 ¢ Cubans lave not been executed in liv real murd: rors, who avy well kuown r Tnquestionably such would vive Keon the ease had Foster and Garpwen not survived, or had there not becn other wit assination, okt have now elap ever, since the real murderer, a volu Was to have M . lore than two ¥ , how. ver, who heen executed within two bours, was delivered up by his comrades, He has not yet boon Drought to trial, aud will of course allaved to escape.

It is true that the presumption of the loss of the City of Boston is as yet by no means of the strongest character; but ench day that goes by without bringing nows from her strength. ens the probability that the vessel is lost, Of rye ncoy plausible explanations of her non. val at Liverpool are suggested, and it is not improbable the there may be a true one among them.

An old but ever interesting subject is expound. ed in The Mysteriea of Masonry, by L. BE. Rux- Nouns, P.M. P. HL P, (Lippincott.) This is a very «ingalar and interesting work, original in its ehar- acter and remarkably well executed in a literary point of view. It is an explanation of the mysteries of Masonry according to the ideas of the Swedenbor- ian philoerphy, and especially of the eo-called science of correspondences. The anthor takes the ground that Masonry ts a life of charity ; that there {8 @ trinity in all things ; and that the Masonic de- grees, emblems, and nambers, are all occult and Mystical, and derive their origin from the remote Periods and races treated of by Swedenborg under the name of the Ancient Church, He explains in this mauner the degrees of Ancient Masonry, the cryptic degrcer, and tie sublime degree of Mast Mason, with the strange legends of Solomon King of Isract, Hiram Kiug of Tyre, and Hiram Abiff. Ho aims in short to give a rational and cuberent ex Dianation of what, to most Masons even, i appa- rently only a jamble of nonsence. He has succeeded, At oll events, tn making » very carlons book.
