“wae indebted to the suggestions of the Chair- slavery also appear in thie volume an wader. going @ change that is most creditable ta him, In hia letter to Jonny Forevem of Alabama, in 1860, he says: “The faith- ful enforcement of the Fugitive Slave law and the equal rights of the States in the ter- ritorics must and will be guaranteed to the South, not by any enactments and compro- misc of Congress, which might at any time be repouled and tampered with, but by amongnents to the Constitution of such « nature a8 to silence forever the jast appre hensions of the South.” This “ foreve: shows that at that time Mr, Benson cl ished willingness to fasten slavery perma- nently upon the country in the interests of the South, especially when wo take it in connection with such phrases as “the fonati- eal abolitionists of slavery” who are to be “ erushod out of political existence.” Some time later, however, we find him writing to antielavery English friends of his about “the determination of our people to fight the question of secession and slavery exten- sion ;” and expressing the opinion that it socmed “almost incredible to see England, the great leader of negro emancipation, giv- ing her aid to a rebellion got up for no other purpose than that of fastening slavery” upon our country, He refers also to the “ aceursed poison of slavery,” in writing to these same English correepondents. These secming contradictions are, a8 Ww. have said, most creditable to their author, They show that he is not one of thoes men who nail themselves obstinately to an idea, and will never take a step forwarl. His mind is open to the progress of events, and he ad- vances with them. ‘Truth certainly is prefer. able to a recming consistency ; and he only is the true philosopher and statesman who listens to her teachings, and has the courage to shift his ground when he finds it to afford an uncertain footing. Mr. BELMONT’s motto, engraved on hie monogram, is Sans Cratnte —Without Fear; and there is no liigher proof of the possession of this trait than the daring ‘to ehange one’s opinions from time to time as drcumstances require, This volume does simple justice to the quality of moral courage in Mr. BELMonT, as well as to many other of his fine qualities. It ought to seat him more firmly than ever in his place at the head of the National Demo eratic Committee. To this position Mr. Twrep hoe aspired, and upon it even now he has a wary eye fixed, But where is his record? He too has been the subject of mis represeotation, and has been certainly as grievously misunderstood as was ever Mr. Buimont. He too has written letters » and made speeches, Let him print them for the benefit of bis children and his political and personal friends, as Mr. BetMont has dove, They would be read with gratifica- tion by his friends, and with envy by his en. emies, and would form the nucleus of a val. uable political library ; for doubtless other of our politicians would soon be led to follow such illustrious examples. agree.

The Republicans have been too strong for thetr own welfare, There has not been external pressure enough upon them to compel dis- cipline or circumspection in the Administra tion. The adversary was feeble in numbers, and distracted by intestine divisions. And now we see the inevitable conse. quences of these untoward circumstances in a broken and demoralivcd organization. And these embarrassmenta are increased and exasperated by the imbecility of Gant, his prostitution of the patronage of tho Govern. ment to promote his own selfish schemes and to reward unworthy favorites. The best men of hie party are eo disaffected and disgusted that his renomination two years hence is quite out of the qnestion. The power of a President, with a strong supporting party measurably satisfied with the course of his administration, is irresisti- ble in the early part of his term; but it be- comes feeble and dwindles away to nothing as tho years roll round and the ineans of re- warding partisan service become exhausted. Six successive Presidente, ending with Mr. Bucttanan, vainly tried to compass a re- nomination by the free use of Executive favors, They were all men of large civil experience, familiar with the popular wants and expectations, and not inexpert in politi- cal management ; and yet every one of them failed ignominiously in the Work he rd set himself to perform. Is GuaNtT—a raw, crude man, of defective culture, untutored in the ways of politicians, with no policy, no expe- rience, no power of appreciation, imperfect knowlodgo of men, selfish and egotistical, caring more to give fat offices to his family than to promote the welfare of his party— is he likely to win a game in which such mon as we have named were bafiled and overthrown ?

The examples of Roscox the merchant and the man of let ters, and of Lord Denny and GLApsTonE, the statesmen and scholars, are also familiar. Disnarii’s “Lothair” was all the more eagerly read because it was written by a former Chaucellor of the Exchequer; and, coming to our own country and our own people, it will not be forgotten that Monet, the eminent electrician and the inventor of our telegraphic system, was ap artist, tho President of the National Academy of Do- sign. And so we come to the latest example, that of Mr. Avcust Bebmont, a shrewd banker and knowing financior, who has found time to give his attention also tothe political complications of the day, and te hold for ycars the important position of Chair. man of the National Committee of the Demo- cratic party. Mr. Bermwoxr has put his eb servations as a philosophic statesman to wome extent upon perinanent record by the publication of a volume of his letters and speeches, chosen, as he says, from among hundreds written or uttered by him during the last eventful ten years, The external appearance of the volume is elegant and tasteful. It is print ed on thick ¢ream-lnid paper, aa becomes a banker's book, and in clear and beautiful type.

He says that on open- ing the negotiations, Count Brsaanck referred to the fact that Naroteon was then at Cassel, en- gaged with his adherents in an effort to organize anew the relics of nis Government which up to that moment had been the only one recognized by Europe.

Brigham, says my in- formant, 1 more coward than fighter, and a vastly overrated man, He has too many wives and children, and too much real estate, ever to risk a collision with the Government; but he plays the braggart and boasts of it to his people, all of which goes to satisfy them that he is great, whilo in reality he ts only noisy, At home, he is regarded as a religions bully, who trades upon the credulity of the poor, ignorant vietima of the falth once reposed in the great Joseph—of tho Smith family, With the astuteness of his race, Brigham has managed to work in Washington throngh a faithfal instrament, in the person of the Deleente from Vinh, who weart a OX hat, and who aepires to the Senate of the United Status! The Delegates re. apectability has been the capital of his patron, and while the Congressman has seen to BRIGHAM'S INTERESTS ADROAD, Brigham has seen to the Congressman's at home.

The trath ie, the Delegate at home is a Mormon; at Wasbington be is “all things to all men.” Personally, on short acquaintance, he is a very agreeable man, of small mental calibre, fond of hugging lis acquaintances into friendship, and ever ready to make ® dollar in an honest way.
