They elected tyrants and cowards to office. They turned a war of patriotism into a crusade of plunder. They put innocent men into prison ; and guilty men in office. They sacrificed thousands of brave men on the altar of diabolism and mil itary incompetency. They took men and money from the people under false pretences. They killed our men, destroyed our properly, and squandered the money we furnished them. They mob' ed people for opinion's j sake.

Every body has heard of Henry Ward Beecher the distinguished Brook lyn preacher and politician. He has been a life-long Abolitionist, and we believe it was at his suggestion that Mr. Lincoln was nominated for the Presidency in 1800. Whatever.may be said of Beecher's fanaticism, we be j iieve no one ever charged him with j dishonesty. He was an Abolitionist | from principle, and took theboid posi j tmn that slavery must be abolished or the Union dissolved. No man in our country had more influence over Mr. Lincoln than had Beechcr. Indeed, his opinions were all-powt rfu! with the : President, much to the chagrin of the smaller lights who hovered about the White House. Mr. Beecher, with the assistance of Mr. Seward, organized and christened the "Republican party." They owned it, as they owned the President repre senting its principles. They had one object in view—the abolition of sla very.—That object they accomplished, after a monstrous sacrifice <>f life and treasure. These two representative men of the Republican party—the fathers of the party—we may call them—after having "fought the good fight" for what they considered a prin ciple, took a survey of the contested field, and what did they see? Nearly tiie whole of their party followers in open rebellion against the country and the President! Yes, the great Aboli tion party, with new captains at its head—the Forneys, Iveilys, Camerons and other late converts—was in open revolt against the Union! Beecher and Seward were amazed, confounded and grieved. But, they did not hesi tate a moment. They resolved at once to expose and fight the rascals who dar ed raise their impious hands against tin union of the States. Both are at work against t he Rump t'ongressand its trait or defenders, and with voice and pen denounce the conspirators in language not to he misunderstood. Below we give a few extracts from a recent sermon delivered by Mr. Beech er. It will be seen that ironi a perse cuting Saul lie lias become a friend of peace, ready to meet the enemies ol restoration who urge a warfare agains the people of the South, lie denoun ces Stevens as a dangerous man, up holding the worst conceivabiedoctrims-. In his opinion we should adopt the prineiplesof the New Testament, rath er than the Jewish rule that required an eye for an eye and a tooth fora tooth. We trust that many other ministers vocated the old Jewish mode of treat ment, will repent and seek to win tht affectionsof the people by acts of christ ian love and forbearance. The brutal doctrines of Stevens are not in keeping with the teachings of Christ and IIP ■ apostles, and should be discarded by all ! who profes- to be governed oy the gol den rules laid down in the Gospel. Mr. 1 Beechersaid: "I do not know as it is best for me to make any furtherapplication. i'ainii waretliat I have not been very popu lar anions my jieople during the last year. My position in public affairs ha il ot carried my friends with me. lam sorry for their sahe. I have never had any trouble myself on the subject. 1 do not hesitate to say that whatever went into the Constitution on account of slavery ought, now that slavery i destroyed, to be taken out; and that whatever should have gone into the Constitution, but was kept out bv sla very, ought to go in: but while I hold that these changes ought to be made in the fundamental law of thi> land, so thatour Constitution should represent to its fullest extant the great doctrine of natural and civic rights—while I hold this second to n<> man in breadth and intensity, ana pronaoiy neiu it oeiore I most of vou held it—yet, on the other hand, God mrbidlhat i should attempt | to take a position that would be in the | nature of rendering evil for evil, and ! punishing according to fhe manner of i the Jews. I abhor, tr'dh ah the strength |of Christian tore, the doctrine.— lit cause I they hare banned others' homes, burn I theirs; because thry have plundered oth ers, plunder them; beeans'tla y did wrong confiscate their property; because they were in rebellion, annihilate them. The I doctrine which has been propounded by ! Mr. Stevens in Congress, ] regard to be '! the do'+ ine of Belial. Tin worst doc trine of which lean conceive, dwelling in a Christian land, is the doctrine adroca ted by him, and, I thank God, by only a few others. The true ('hris. i m con rse i which we have now lost the opportu- nity of adopting) was to have kept tin- j ion between the President and f ongress and instantly to have made such prop ositions of change ;s c >uld hive effect ed without delay, making the period as brief as possib'e, restoring to their o riginal status all parts of our Union, and, by the amplitude of our helpful ness, and the unmistakable disclosures of our sympathy, paying back into their bosom a thousand fold of love that which they had given to u< of trouble and mischief. The North should have been a thousand fold more eminently Christian than the South. The people here should have frit and prayed for the people there and should have long ed for their well-being; while, though 1 know that hundreds and thousands have done this, theapathy of the com munity has been that of a stern cold i judge and they have favored paying iota for iota, measure for measure. This lis my mourning and regret.

The following amusing description of the "no-prefix" candidate for Gov ernor, we clip from the correspondence of the Sunday Mercury , written from Cape may: Dear Mercury— I'm anchored for the season and am in amostdelightfuistute of preservation. I see by the papers, and hear by many of my friends who came down yesterday, that you "haul threat times" in "old Philly" on the Fourth. 1 don't envy you! 1 dislike all that sort of thing, and witnessed enough "pomp and show" during the war to last me the balance of my days. I was amused though, in reading the graphic accounts of how thetliing went off. 1 should have been glad to have been present for one thingand that was to have noted how Master Geary be haved. [ suppose though he kept his vanity down a> much as possible—that it did not stick out more than a foot. J j have met Geary upon several occasions. I met him at the "Race Course," he'uw Philadelphia, a day or two after Andy Curtin commissioned him Colonel. 1 met Tom Elliott the same evening ! —waiting for him at the St. Lawrence Hotel, who introduced his pomposity. The same Tom Elliott, by the way, who made him just, what he is. Who, during the war. sung Ids praises in a 1 of the Phiiapclphia papers, including the Sunday Mercury, and who spent days and nights in writing up evry Ut ile one horse or X Roads skirmish and for what? To glorify the vanity of this man Geary. Eiliott has gone to his long home, and I never see Geary's name in print but what I think the honors belong jfA'l A\ (,< t Elliott's devotion. < )no Saturday cve ning- there came a rumor to Y\ asliing tou that Geary had fought a great bat tle and won a great victory. This was the Saturday preceding Me(';el!au"sfirst march on to Manassas. AN asliingtou was full of newspaper indefatigables, who desired to telegraph what few i tems they had gathered concerning it to their respectivejournals North. Your correspondent was at that timeeonnect ed with a New York paper, and along with others went to the telegraph shop, scratched oil our "startling,' 1 and were politely told by the clerks in attendance that the news "could not go." "Why?" of course was the next in terrogatory. "Mr. San ford, censor, forbids it." San ford, of course, was wished some where else,and a number ofcorrcspond ents still carry him a grudge that will be paid >ome day with interest. On Sunday morning—a bright and beautiful morning it was—myears were assailed with the cry of " Philadelphia Stuulcy Mercury! Sunday Dispatch!. Full accounts of the great fight!" 1 invested of course,and then found that Tom Elliott had commenced the work that was to make a great man out of Geary. "How did they get this news in Phil- | adelpliia?" asks one corn-pom lent. "How did they get u ?" replies) George Bower, whom you saw interred , a few weeks ago—"why Tom Elliott i telegraphed it to the Associated Press, of course." And so did. I last saw Geary in the flesh at I Gettysburg, one year ago last Wednes dav. There was a number of distin guished peopie there. h v wish tb it ho ii were dead.

Ac. i AN ELOQUENT LAWYER TOUCHES HIS OWN CLIENT.— The Raton Rouge Advocate toils the following: Last week a case came up before the jury, and the District Attorney had exhausted all his eloquence in the at om pt to convict a darkey for stealing a goose. The Judge was tired, the jury wearied, and the bar oilieiaJs and spec tators, all hoped the case would be speedily closed, but they were doomi d to d sappoiiitmeut. Up rose the old .Major, the hero ofa thou-and Contests at the bar, and for two hours a flow of eloquence poured fortii upon tiie ears of the jury, evidently convincing them • >:' the prisoner's innocence. Shrugs arid gestures denoted that ail they waiitul u a.a chance to get out of die jury cor ner, and the goose, darkle, prosecutor and all concerned might go to Guinta if they Could lie released. The Major piled it on thick; he showed tliem law thought it worth while to repeat.
