Editors':—As I have lately visited Halifax in Nova Scotia, I was delighted with that country; though my4ime was short, yet while there I learned much of that country— more thao I did in all my life before. That prosperous and happy Province of two years ago is to-day a scene of anarchy and con fusion. A province which always had an , overflowing treasury is to-day literally bank rapt. The fortnerly independent Province of Nova Scotia to-day sees her autonomy destroy ed, her liberty swept away, her institutions defiled by unclean hands; her revenues col ected and disbursed, her public works appro priated and controlled, • her people %Suited tnd tormented, by the emismaries and hire ,ings of a distant and foreign Province. Nova Scotia—the kingdom by the sea—the richest all the Provinces in varied sources of ,realt it —is to-day the puppet of a distant, hair rozen Province in the wilds of America.— I ler Bolls are asked to bow to oppression, "to aiss the fetters and smile at their country. lishunor." That their constitutional lihertie* were treacherously taken from them is cor rect, and political corruption and political per tid'y did the work which disgraces the Mingle or colonial legislation. Their own repiesati ;.(tives were their own betrayers, and the men • )n whose sense of honor they relied to 'shield hem from injustice, consented to force Con federation upon them, and now to ask tbe peo dle of Nova Scotia to "accept the situation" hey think would be editing keen insult to deep n jury. They are determined to reject an) -neh a proposition, and say that the act must ire repealed so tar as the Province of Nova •eutia is concerned. Quite an excitement prevailed while I was here, and petitions were secured without de tay and presented to the House, to declare Confederation null and void, so far as their Province was concerned, and kick out every .fficer appointed by the Dominion Govern- I !lent, collect their revenues ankdist,urse than i 0 Le Province. They are determined that not one cent more should be allowed to go to 'anada, but have taken steps to have every ..ent that has gone into the Ottawa Treasury reimbursed. They are determined to ask the i;ritist' Parliament to grant a repeal-; if they ~f lut,e, they say that they will repeal it them selves. They say that they cannot afford to sail for Ilitish "led tapeism," and see their ,moory plundered. ley say that Camsdian influence has thus t.tr prevailed in the councils of the Empire. and that a systematic course df official swin ilin, has been the means 01 betraying the Gov eruna or England to pass an Act confedera !in; N ,, va Scotia with Canada and New !fru nsw ick. The people consider the fact to. pp:trent for further attempt at concealment or epudiation. Nova Scotia is to-day. as they -ay it ever has been, tl:e uncompromising op tir•nt of a forced and distasteful Union with he Provinces of Canada. The people say . oat they are not afraid of the result, and flat ter themselves that they know the temper of nova seolians that when the hour of trial ones they will not flinch from their duty to themselves an] their country whateverthe in dividual consequence may be. From all parts ~f the Province come accounts of the gilithar ing storm of indignation. The last act of the Ottawa Government—the new tariff, is likely ti) prove the feather that broke the camel's back. The people are mad with rage, and c“nsider it no time for glove work, bdt must strike hard and knock off the unholy fetters. The people have demanded a repeal, and if :hat is not granted, they say that they will isk to let them go peaceably over to the United States. They say that there is no other alternative.

A delegation that left Wheeling met a, similar delegation from Bridgeport and the marshal recognized in the marshal of the Wheeling column a rebel officer who had cruelly op' pressed him, when-au inmate of Libby Prison. Turning to his procession, he said, '"Boys, here is the rebel Captain who took my sword when I was so unfortunate as to be taken prisoner. He is Marshaling the Democratic delegation from Wheeling. I go With no party that thus thrusts traitors for*ard to positions of honor." Saying this, be took oft his marshal's scarf and turned hishorie home folloWed by all but one man in l itis del egation.

S. Senate in re-Instating Mr. irstrrow as Secretary of War, in which our ftepresentatiie, D. McCossuotrr, Esq., par ticiputed, making two speeches, one on the 21st and another on the 42d, in Which he Alarried the war into Africa," dealing some ::tharp and effective blows upon the enemy.— We regret that the pressure on our columns prevents our giving both speeches in flail, as they ate able and effective. We give a few extracts: When, sir, the future historian cameo to write the name of Edwin M Stanton among the great ones of the age, when he seeks a legend with which to express the character of that man, he will inscribe upon his historical monument these words: "This man loved de country more than party." There, dr. is he solution of the whole question. It is for his the enemies of the Government hate him. Sir, go back to 1860, to the epoch when in hellion threatened and the Government was ender the administration of a Democratic President, 'Mr. Buchanan. Who were his counsellors? Democrats, all. What did 'hey, sir. when the hour of peril came? Did they stand by the Government? What did iris. Democratic Secretary of the Treasury, Howell Cobb? He withdrew from his place to the cabinet "on account of his duty to leorgia." What did his Democratic Min Ma. of War, John B. Floyd ? After attempting to rob the Government of the - arms for its de - tence, and thus securing to himself the unen viable epithet of 'the thief,' he withdrew "be cause the President declined to order the garri 'on from the inirThor of Qbarlesion altogeth- Sir, what did the Democratic Attorney General, Jeremiah S. Black, of Pennsylvania? tie made vacant his office after seeking in a State paper to demonstrate that the Govern ment could not coerce a State In order to :rush rebellion and preserve its own exis tence. Sir, it was at that time that Mr. Bu vhanan, that poor, miserable, tottering old man at the helm of State, without moral cow- ige enough to stand by the land which s tre u iiim birth, and invested him with the ili dike in its gift, in his extremity called to his aid that noble and copra aeons man, Edwin M. Stanton. He invited him to his cabinet at he recommendation of Judge Black. He came at the summons and stood amid that band of conspiratori, like an unwelcome apectre at a council. He told them to their t •etlythat they were the amassing of liberty, and hat he would stand by the Government, let them do as they would. He held up that old man who would have fallen into the yawning ;tilt of perdition which gaped before him, had it not been for the brave and patriotic Stan ton. There is one thing about this man's his tory that must have impressed every intelli gent render of American politics. At the close . of Mr. But h administration,in the moment of imminent danger. he is called into the cabinet of Presillent Lincoln alone on ac count of his pre-eminent abilities. All through the administration of Mr. Lincoln he was his chosen and constant trusted counsellor and minister at the head of the department of war, both during his first term and his sec ond, until stricken down by the hand of an assassin. And even then, when the apostate reached the Presidential chair, he leaned and relied 'upon the Secretary of War, sir, because of his pre-eminent abilities which, during all these years of war and disorder, were of in valuable importance to the country. Sir, bre need nothing more than his public history, nothing more than the unwilling tri bute from the Buchanan administration, and from the present adminkration to signalize the virtues and services of Edwin AL Stanton. r 4 ir, it is because he would not abandon his country, because he stood by the country of his birth and his love in utter disregard of his otaen party dm is is for this reason that gen tlemen on the other side of the chamber tan not find language to express their hatred of him. Sir, there is one characteristic of Ed win AL Stanton I admire above all others, and that is, that glorious backbone—that spirit of patriotic resolve—that firm, unflinching brave ry—with which he stood, ever tearless and bold, to fight, and fall if need be, battling with the enemies of his country. Sir, I wish it to be known, when this coun try was in imminent danger, and when the issue came whether it should exist or not ; when the question was whether this Repub lic, in addition to the other excellencies of human governments, had the inherent power which was necessary for its own maintenance against all enemies, external and internal— , when that issue was to be decided there was in the Presidential chair a Democratic Presi dent. That question arose, and Mr. Buchan an, the then President, answered it thus. I read from his message, in December, 1860: •efh• question fairly ststml te has the Coottitution delegated to °mutes the power to onemo a State Into subaskeloa width hr steroptad to withdraw or has sc • cosily withdrawn from the cookelerscy. After mesh 11060/AS relketion I have arrived t the coseleskm that nose& power has been delegated to amines, oot to icJ other department of the Federal Govensment." Now, jrLq at that crisis Mr. Stanton was called to advise the Posidenb. Mr. Manton entertained no such doctrine. lie believed that this Government had the power to coerce a State ; the people believed it, and the coun try believed it. And the strong arms of the noble men of country made its historical tact that this nation can and will coerce and suppress every power that would stand in the pathway of its progress. Now, sir, I propose to look, for only ale instant, at the attitude of the Denteetratic patty four years later than the advent of the rebellion. I desire that hist/writhe! not he forgotten. And in this connection, I read from the speech of Henry Clay Dean, made in the Democratic National Convention, held at Chicago, in it 884 : 'For throe years bieweln has Ups calling for men. . and with an the armies placed at Ida cioentnand be has &op& Paled, Shed; such a failure has never been known, nob a destrsetion of human life ham never twon known since the destruction of Sennarherib by the breath of the affisitay.” This is the charge made by one of its lead ers, who was cheered to the echo in that De mocratic National Ctinveation, in the mid s t of a terrible war, when the existence of the nation had become a question of doubt, and the Government was struggling for life. I read turther from his speech : wAtill the monster nearper wanted mom mem *his 4anatitarissaa arm sham the tumrper, tranor, and tyrant had occupied the Presidential chair, the Repub lican party had .boated was to the tons and the km* to the Will Blood had foam in torrents. and yet the thirst of the old monster yr vet qamebed. Ms cry was ter more blood That is but one of the many like that that were freely uttered in that Coniendon; And the resolutions breathed the same spirit. I will ask the Clerk to read the second raw lution r adopted in the Chicago Convention of 1864. The Clerk read the resolution as follows : o•Roloireet, That this Convestke does explirftl, dor -tare, as the aerie Of the Asteritin people, that after nom years of &Ours to restore the Mike I. the experi ment of war. daring widely voider babe pretesoeof a wit , Miry neosesity. eta tosr poser lifsbet that' Us casellho boa. the Conetitatios Itself bee 'been dl get sd Is every part. and paht e liberty Vries* t alibi bombe down. and the matrrial prospects, of the mew try soseuthtity hapairelL-jsetiee. banality. tibroty sad the, public weber* rleemieds abet homedlete efferreimi made Sr a oeneatlos of hostilities, with a v bow byas ultimate coneentios Of 1111 thOatotee. or otheryieererible mamas. to the sad that, et the wiled practice- hie m, . meet- puce Stay be restored as the barb of lb* Isierst frokm of the States."

What saved this coun try ? It was nothing more or less than the action and the tmfirkering devotion or the Re publican party, and the true men who, loving country more than olden party ties, rushed to swell its numbers, when the war commenced. It was the great Republkun, party that rallied to the defense of the Government, and beneath ,standard there came also such men la tfttry, Stanton, and Holt, and Sickles, and Loon, and Meade, and Grant, and Butler. - Now, sir, I have simply to conclude with the remark, that, the great, glorious and pa triotic heart of the country will uphold the men who fought out this war, both in the Cabinet and in the field. But, sir, although they may erect to them a monument, stone up on stone, rising and swelling in grand aid bestutital proportions, til its glorious pin nacle will even pierce un above the clouds, to where eternal sunshine shall test upon lts head, yet they Immo% prevent the toad and the reptile from leaving their adze upon its been, • MEWL W►t.LACE sad MCCANDLESS, under took to break the force of Mr. McConvent's exposition of {he "peace-st-any price" po licy of the Democratic party, by insisting "the peace was to be bend upon the integrity of the Union of all the States." Mr. Mccox ►uont next day took the floor in reply, and we again extract: -1 shall not, at this latehour occupy the time of the Senate with a speech ; but I depire to reply, in a few words, to the Senator from Philadelphia MX:Amu/mg and the Sena tor from Clearfield (Mr. WALLACE). , The Democracy of my own county, in con vention assembled, in the summer of 1844, echoing the determination of the party as an nollnoed at Chicago, declared "That the time has fully come when pniceshould be inscribed on the Democratic banners. and an armistice should be declared which shalt open up the way for negotiation and compromise." "But," says the Senator from Clearfield; •the pence was to ,be based upon the integrity or the Ucknt 61 all the Sitter." Sir, I my, with duo respect for my brother Senator, that that pops - lion is Wee in tact and flagrantly take in the fight of history. It denim the history of the dines in which the Democratic Convention met and uttered its voice. Why, sir, it is a part of the history of the country at that time, derived from the most authentic sources, that One of the principal actors in that convention, Mr. Vallandigham, admitted. at the time, to be one of the controlling spirits of the conven tion. had conspired with the enemy for the de struction of the Union of the Stales. 1 read, air, hum cotemporaneons history. John B. Jones, who was editor of the Southern Mon itor, at Philadelphia, and on the outbreak, of die war went back to the South, and vs dirk of the Confederate War Department, was fa miliar with the workings of the Confederacy at the time records this , in regard to Mr- Vil landigham : "To-day. June 22d1 I saw the memorandum of Mr. Ouid, of the conversa tion held with Mr. Vallandigham, for• file in the archives. Re says if we can hold out this year that the peace party of the North would sweep the Lincoln dynasty out of political existence." Ac. Sir, at the time of the adoption of the Dem ocratic Peace Platform at Chicago, it was known in the North, it was known in the South,.it was known all over this country, that the enemy in arms would not consent to a restoration of the Union. They were right ing for the destruction of the Union, and the Demme"' knew lull well when they uttered that declaration in tisvor of a "cessation - of hostilities" that by that cessation they wOuld never obtain a restoration of the U ohm.— Again, sir, I read from a portion of the cor respondence that took place in the effort' to get ttp negotiations for peace through the reb els in Canada. The answer of Mr. Lincoln through the three commissioners is a sufficient reply to the Senator from Philadelphia. This is it: EXECVTITIC MANSION, WASHINGTON. July 18; 1864. Ts whom may concern: Any proposition which embraces the restoration of Pions. tb• integrity of the Whole Union and the &tendon meat of slavery. and which conies by bud with an Cu. thority that can control the armies w et war aitaln4 the Uolted States, will be received and considered by the lineentive Government of the United States, and Will be toot by liberal terms. on substantial and eolialsrei points; and the bearer or bearers tLereut shall boreal* conduct both ways." (Signed) AMM/ Llama. Sir, Mr. Lincoln put himself in that impreg nable position. He was ready in an inatant for the cessation of hostilities noon the mudi don of the integrity of the whole Union. He asked no other condition. And we prove this by the enemy, out of their own mouths. But the Democrae e y and the enemy woOtnot accept of that condition Wr. Greeley Total leered his efforts and failed. And yet another effort was made, and in s Very romantic and chivalrous way. You will remember that Col. James F. Jacques, of the Seventy-third Illinois regiment, and J. R. Gilmour, of New York, at the imminent risk of danger, and, indeed, of life, went into the "Southern lC n federacy, with President Lincoln's knowledge, and gained admission to the Rebel Was De partment, arid there consulted with the Secre tary of War of the Rebellion • and even gained an interview with its President (li via). And what was the language of Mr. Jefferson Davis ? These were his words : "The North was toad and blind; would not let on govero «melees ; and SO the war tome; and eow it most go on till the last man of this generation falls in his track. and his children seise his musket. and gain. oar bottle.

They proposed "an armistice," mid they proposed a "cessation of hostilities" right in the forefront and crisis of the struggle, with a distinct knowledge that there could be no "peace," no "cessation of hostilities; ex cept on the basis of Rebel independence and a dissolution of the Union. Mr. McCandless (Dem.) here interrupted by calling Mr. MeConaughy's attention to the resolutions adopted, in the beginning of. the War by Congress , the war was not waged "Atr•the purpose of overthrowing or interfer ing with the rights or established institutions of the South, but to defend and maintain the supremacy of the Constitution, and to 'pre serve the LTnion with all the dignity, equality and rights of the several States unimpaired, and that as soon as these objects are accom plished the war ought to . cease." Mr. MrONAUGHT. I thank the gentle- man for his interuptioo. Blr unc e;whta cir cumstances were those resolutions adopted Why, sir, in their own language, with ,"lire ditionionista of the Southern States now in tic volt spinet the constitutional Government, and in arms around the capital." They were adopted amidst the smoke from the (Amorous dell of Belt Run—where the 'tastily raised army of defense was scarcely more' than a mob of undisciplined soldiery—which con fronted "masked batteries" of "Quaker guns:" and for lack of martial drill and discipline, were broken into confusion and .rout. They Were read almost amid the echoes of the guns of defiant rebellion from the plains of Man assas. They were adopted whilst Congress yet listened to the seductions of Northern Democrats, and attempted the futile task of meetin the mailed hand arid mild steel of a Nmterlsag and defiant revolt With words of kinlinem and meek protestations of fraternal regard. ' It was when our generals were yet returning tinder flags of three to the truculent leaders the very contrabands and black fugi tives from labor, who were used in digging trenches,erecting defenses and batteries, anti ev en wen constituted the muscle and the bone of theiu'med rebellion. It wesbeforewe ceased to treat them, in the language of *Penal WCiel tau, as "friends and brothers,", se. in peace. and before we; as plain, practleil, coalition sense rt qtdred MI to do, met gin with gun, sabre with sabre and weir dog with war dog. But, sir, as the conflict thickeumf—as tie anemia, of the Republic wading deeper in o the flood • tide of revolution, threw into the sltaleatif conflict not on the sword. but evi the loins of their &imesdc hualtutions—when black man and white man. in owl lorni or °lb et, of work and service, were crowded into the irwarmlnghoste of rebellion—when, sir, tlo did naklusitateures to "rob the cradle and the grave—alavary had to go to the wall, and they that, dealt blows with the iron hand bad totake the stalwart blows of war, and with. three a ll coasequences of their treseoh. l A* well, sir, might the Senator cast in the teeth of our revolutionary ancestors their pro torsions of honesty loyalty and fealty .to this mother coonmy on the eve of our revolution ary pride; and charge theM with infidelity.
