One year ngo this month, Edwin M. Slntiton dioj, utid recuivod ihul cliriHtian burinl ubich ho had made a merit of deny ing to oil. era both nico and women whom lie liad couactl to be ttrangled by tbe handa of military aagttssitiit, and imogglcd into unknown graves. Ilia littor career liatl bdett Btormy one, for the most pnrt, in open defiance of the laws of the land, and filled with many deeds of tyranny, and many deeds of treachery. Jiut tbe better part of the pnblio who had been abused by bia insolence and out raged by his ctiines, wcro willing to commit his body to the earth in do- corus silence, and leave hit questlona- u,o maritcier -to men s charitable speeches." This, however, was not to bo. . Itobcspierre had friends Bur rere had admirers; Judns Iscnriot has found a defender, an J even Stanton had eulogists. They wore of the class who hud profited by bis treatberies, and loved him for bis bnaone(. It was fit that tlicy should laud him fur his iiifuiiiics, and natural that they should seek to appease his slmdo by dufaming those whom ho L..d most in humanly wronged. Mr. ilour, then attorney general of tlio Ur.itod .Slates, begun tbo business. IIo mtido an oration in tho Supreme Court, which was in no proper sense a eulogy upon Stanton, but was from beginning to end a libel upon other and better men. The substitneo of it wns that, In tlio "hour of national agony," iStnnlon being a member of tfiiclinnnn s cabinet, had saved the Union einglo-handed, and in doing so had passed through perils at tho hands of Ins disloval associates and their hief. The next morninc Judiro lllack addressed Jlr. Iloor a public letter. telling hitn that (ho story retailed the day before wns utterly false, and desiring hi in to produce tho cvi donco upon which it was founded, if any bo bod. Mr. Hoar sought (lilli gently for tho evidence ; ho wroto numerous and pressing letters to "loy al" men liko Senator Howard, who had been repeating and magnifying the foul lie for years together, but af tor tho most painful search, stimulat ed by tho shutno of being branded as a libeller, he failed to rake together anything that In tho remotest decree supported his public statements. Then Mr. llonr, being half honest, alboit thick headed and "loyal," gave up his enterprise in disgust, and left to oth ers tho tusk of defuming Buchanan's cabinet. Tho ''loyal" wcro now in ovil caso ; tho regular attorney bad thrown up his brief, and precious culumny that had dono them good service through ten long years was about to dio for want of ono fulso witness. In this dire extremity Senator Wilson, as loyal and as trothy as Hoar, hut with nnno of bis old fashioned scruples, un dertook to itifuso now life Into tho worn out slander, and make it as ser viceable as ever. Ho called to his uid various senators and other parly hacks, and clothing the old story in a com paratively now dress, decorated with sundry brilliant inventions of his own, be rushed with it into the pages or the Atlantie Monthly. An answer from Judge. liluck, showing how Wilson was unwittingly blackening Stanton s character, and making him a hypo- cnt and a criminal, whtlo the con duct of Mr. Buchunan and his cabi net shone brighter and fairer with every worJ of discussion, overwhelmed hitn with shiiine nnd covered him with confusion. Whoreupon poor Wilson, borrowed the old loiters which Hoar had gathered in bis vain butdesporale attempt to rovivo tho same colnmny, nnd calling in tbe help of .Sumner, Howard, l'uwes, Seward, and a dor.cn or so moro, he got up an awkward document, or string of documents, which, for wnnt of something bettor, ho wns compelled to print in reply. In the previous article In the Atlantic ho bad appeared nlono, liko Stanton in liucbiiitHn's cabinet a sinilo, lorn loyalist; lint here he was again with eightoen or twenty more, worso than hnuscll. iMtliout this eotnnnnv, 1'cr- haps Wilson would have been un worthy of fittthor nolico. Ho stood before tho world impnting thirty years of unparalleled treachery to tho man whom ho professed to honor, and oven nnming the particular acts of bnscness which established bis character in contosUibly as a false friend, a doublo and Ireblo rencgado, a conspirator against the fame, yen, the very lives of tbe fondest bcncfiiclors-a coarse, vulgar rogue, a spy, a tattler, and a ruflinn. Unhappily for Wilson, ho cosily proved tit tat Slunlon was each and all of these, and thus destroyed the credibility of the only witness by whom ho could sustain tho weak ac cusation he had fabricated against the J'tichnnan Administration. This es say, formidable only in its frighlful array of tbe proofs of Stanton's puilly duplicity, bronght out from Judge Black, that paper of amazing grace and power, which we published in our issue of the 18th inat , and which makes it us clear historically, as tbe trettoii of Judas or Amohj, that i NOT MEN. FEBRUARY Ir Slanton was just what Wilson's wit- nesscs would mako him "Me most j mnnvloui in poster' that ever live or; ff.-.f."' ;' ' . " ' ' , ," '. . Hut wo do pot propose, to review una laiTiotis controversy. 11 neeus no review; tne trtiiii is as manifest as tbo sunlight, and henceforth no man, not even tho most meniluclmiH and "loyal" will ever deny It. We pro pose morely to ofTcr a" few hinls Ihul may be improved npon at another lime. Who in Mr. Buchanan's cabinet were Intjal in tho just and honest sense of that abused word that is, who wera joryloltling to sustain tbo gov ernment against their designs 7 Sure ly n'i.1 Ktnnton, for bo told tho Botes io..'.f that ho was with llieui, and tho abolitionists that ho was with them, t tbo very moment that bo was in t Democratic cabinet and pro fessing to be a devoted union man. lie could bo loyal to nobody and noth ing. With the proof lying in over whelming abunuunco on tlio table be fore us, we aver that Judge Black tho maligned, proscribed, long-silent Judgo Bluck was tho ever faithful and vigilant leader of tlio union nquud in tliut Cabinet at the beginning of-lhe troubles, and tho leader of tbo whole Cabinot, as ho was its official hoad, through the last weeks of that gloomy poriod. And this man, ho to whom belongs of right all tbe glory of that memorablo struggle lio who drove Floyd out of tho Cabinet, and dragged Stanton by tbe ears into it to give his patron "two votes instead of ono ;" he who refused to go out with Cass, when Cass asked him to go, boon use he thought bis duty required bira to remain at bis post, and save what he could ; he who suggested Holt for tho War Department and got him tbore with grout difficulty; ho who stood by Major Anderson as the last hope of lite cause; ne who strovo aay liy day to kindle a spark of firo in tho dry brain and tbe drier henrl of old Scott; he who modified the President's mes sage of tbo Sib of January, and saved hitn from a fatal orror in tho answer to tha South Carolina commissioners ; ho who was Instant in season and out of season, while Congress stood muto and stolid, while old Scott talked ntont lolling tho "wayward sisters depart in peace," while Stanton foregathered with unionists in the moruinng, tbe secessionist at iioon, ard tbo aboli tionists at night this man, Ibis singu lar man, bus, through ten rears of dreary personal defamation, chosen to employ all his splendid talents as a writer and nn orator in doing justice to everybody else but himself. Why 1 Was it from a sense of fidelity to Mr. Buchanan, whom be always honored as a puro and upright statesman f It may have been so, although here is a letter from Mr. Buchanan, of March 1, 1X02, in which tho old differences of opinion uro fully recognized, and be "is not nt all astonished to learn" that Judgo liluck is tdii! of tho samo mind. Jin I what ate llicsa proofs, which shows unmistakably Judge Black's leadership in tbe Union in the councils of 1 fjiM and 'til, when the Abolitionists were toady to "let tbe Union slido," when Congress would do nothing 10 save it either by force or conciliation, and the President could look for no support fur bis efforts to sustain the Constitution but in the Northern De mocracy J . They consist of numerous letters from Mr. Buchanan and va rious members of his cabinet; and of many original nianu'cripla, somo of them in tho handwriting of Judge Black, somo In tho handwriting of Edwin M. Stanton, and somo in the handwriting of a del k. To our loyal (now school) frici.Jj that ono In the handwriting f Mr, Stanton would probnly bo the most convincing. ' It bears no dato, but is headed "Memo randum for tbe President on the sub ject of tho paper drawn op by him in reply to tho commissioners ol south Carolina." It is wrillon on oigbl pages foolscap, and is a strong, nervous and somewhat passionnlo review of all Iho points in issue between South Carolina and the government, and on onch one Judgo Black's advico la of such tort that every senlouce would be an everlasting fortune to a liadical poli tician if ho could show such a thing in bis record. Jl concludes t "These aro points on which 1 would advise that the paper be amended. I am aware that thry are too radical to fcrmit much hope of their adoption, f they are adopted the whole paper will need to bo recast. Hut there is one thing not to bo overlooked In Ibis terrihlo crisis. I entreat tho Presi dent to order the Brooklyn and Ma cedonia to Charleston without the least delay, nnd, in tho meantime, send s trusty messenger to Major Anderson to let him know that his government will not desert him. Tho reinforcements of troops from New York or Old Point Comfort should follow immediately. If this bo dono at once, all moy yet be not well buleompnrstivcly aafo.

So he did, but bo never said that the President hnd no rii'ht to suppress insurrection and break up unlawful combinations or individual men against the laws of the Union. On the contrary, every word and line of his advice, public nnd private, wns directly the reverse. In Iho draft of a message which he prepared for tho President, nnd a small part of which was incorporated in the sth of Jan. uary messac'C, occurs tho followinir omphntio passage i "I certainly had no right to mnko aggrcssivo war upon any State, and 1 am perfectly satisfied that tho Constitution has wisely with held that power evc"n from Congress.

NEVSERIES--r0Ll2,N0.L THE LATE MURDER TRIAL' Wo have reeelvttd the fnllowing com munionlion from Judgo McKnully. lie completely vindicates our position in eolation to Iho acquittal of murderers by tho juries' of this County, and the reason wo did not sooner denounce tbo crime of allowing murderers to run at largo, was, that we expected each would be the last, until tho lute trial, after which, "forbearance ceased to bo a virtue." Hence, as a public journalist, wo de.nounc.od it, , This was our duty, and wo will continue to do so until eourts and juries execute law and protect society. To the Editor of the Ilqiublican : I give you credit for tho ability and independence with which j'ou express your views. Hut 1 think you arc sometimes wrong. Your comments on the result of the trial of Martin Harder, for murder, ore iu my opinion, unjust to tho jury and not susiauicu vy tlio facts in the caso. Asoneot the connsel for the Defen dunt, I became familiar with the facts, and with all the questions thai arose at the trial. Jiut the trial is over, my connection with it at an end, and 1 now write simply becauso justice to tbo jury scorns to call for some reply. You speak of tho result as an acquittal. So fur from tho result boing on acquittal. Harder was con victed of murder, and as a murderer, was sentenced to an imprisonment of 11 years and u months acparato or solitary connnoment in Iho 1 enllon liary. This was within one month of the limit allowed by law in hit case. It is a longer sentence than has lately been imposed by the Court in any cuso oi the same kind. x ne question ociuro the jury was, whether tbe crime was murder in tbo first, or in tho second degree. It is murder In tho first degreo when the murder is willful, deliberate and pre meditated, with the intent to take life. Hut if tho mind from intoxication or any other cause, is deprived of its power to form a riesnjn mth deliberation it is murder in tho second degree. Accordingly when the murderer in his sober senses, with n sedate, coo! mind, plans and premeditates the commission of his critno, ns whero it is done for money, it is murder in tho hrst degree. Un tlio other bund most murders committed on a suddon quar rel though with a deadly weapon, under the influence of sudden passion, provocation or of intoxication, arc held to be murder in iho second degree. In this caso the evidence showed that the quarrel was sudden, occurring anoui o ociocvr in inn nllernoon, in the open street. Tho Di'fendar.t hnd taken ut least fourteen drinks since 1 1 o'clock of that day, and was certainly to some extent under the influenco of liquor; nn assault wns twice made on him by Dnlo who was n man of supe rior strength ; nnd whon tho second usxnull wns mado and Harder had been struck both by Dalo and Dalo's brother, bo used a knifo and killed his assailant. Tho knifo had been taken out of his pocket and carried open in bis pocket after tho first assault, but in such a public manner that nearly every one knew it, nnd Dnlo tho deceased wns fully informed of tbe fuel; and the wholes period of limo that elapsed between the first and second assault was only between 5 and 10 minutes. Under this stato of facts the jury found a verdict of murder in tho second degree, and in regard to the verdict we beliove it was mcli as was expected by a majority of persons ru unbiassed judgment who heard Ibo wholo trial. Jiesido this, it corre sponds with what our Courts and juries have generally dono in liko cases under liko evidence. In tho Morrison caso tho Defendant with very littlo provocation, suddonly killed Higcins, an unarmed mnn, with an axo. The jnry found him guilty of murder in tlio second degree, and the Court sentenced to only abont 7J years iniprisonmen in the Penitentiary In tho Hall case tbo Defendant got a knife and stabbed bis victim in the heart, causing instant death, and the verdict of murder in the first degreo wns set asido by the Court, and after wards by consent, the Defendant allowed to plcnd guilty of rriurdcr in the second degreo, and then the sen tence of the Court wns considerably less than in tho case of nnrdcr. Yet in neither of these cases did we hoar any word of complaint from tho Kdifor of tho liepul'liran against Court or jury, or anybody olso. In the well known cose of Lawrence L'llman, Judgo Woodward set aside tho verdict of murder in the first degree, and afterwards allowed a plea of guilty of mnrder in tho second degreo. Tbo Defendant was then sentenced the full extent allowed by law. liockenhcrrv who shot Thompson publicly nt Lumber City, in this county, some years ago, was con victed onlv of murder in the second degree. His sentence was only about 4 years in tbo Penitentiary, and I think he was pnrdoncd out before bis term expired. Ilnforo a mnn can bo convicted of murder in tbo first deereo the law requires that every element of the not to consent to snch a verdict and judgment while any such doubt re. muined. And the judges have been q ii it o as lender and careful on this point ns tho jurors. Why then, Mr. F.ditor, sinclo out and denounco the Harder j ury because thrr did pot have a man hung when they bad a chnnce f If by so doing tho Harder jury are all Solomons entitled to jour notice why should other Solomons go onmentioned At least aH alike should have . boncht ol that snort prayer p.rtie.i.r end of your article asking Ut of eamaarea and merry on their Souls, -f aeateat styles.

But It must bo remembered that men of equal intelli gent diffor widely on all Nuhjeclsj and that while somo juries would sny the crime was murder in tho firtj degree, other juries of equal intelli gence and integrity could not con.' seientiously under snch evidence a was prosentod in tho Harder caso; find a verdict for moro than murder in thuBe,cond'uVrec. Wc think no " ono can justly find i'uull with thm for their verdict. I ngreo with yon tbrtt tho law needs' amendment. Many eases of. murder in tho second degree aro so atrocious that an imprisonmunl in Iho Penitcn liary for 1 yenrs is no adequate pun ishnicnt. Tho law should givo the Conrts power to sentence o ponton twice as long. ' But if the punishment; provided is not enough it is the fault of tho law and not of the jury. It docs not justify a jury in finding a verdict for a higher grndo of crime' than lliey believe the luw and ovidence) will warrnnt. - " Respectfully, J. ll. McEnallt: Senator Wallace. ; We clip the following from the liar- , risburg Patriot, which is a proper tribute paid to the talcul and worth of our ceslctmcd neighbor : . . Wm. A . Wallace, of Clearfield, a R'r. rcscntativc man of tho young Democ' racy of Pennsylvania, has been placed in tho Spcakor'a choir nf the Senate of bis native State, by the voico of ft, majority of that body. This marks an era in the politics of the Common, wealth, and boLors on ardent and earnest Democrat. Tho devotion of Senator Wallace to tho principles of tho Democracy has been ns marked as his labors in their behnlf havo beerf untiring, llcsident sinco bis early youth in the mountain county of Clear field, bis hislorj' is intimately con nected with tho growth nnd progress of that ever faithful county. Kn gaged in tho nctivo practice of bis profession" for fifteen years of his early life, ho" sought no political place, but was ever ready at Iho call of his party, to de fend his principles on Iho stump, or Ut lend his powerful organizing mind Iff bring victory to their standard. ! After bearing tho reputation of being one of the strongest lawyers in the central pnrt ot the State, ho was driven from close application to his profr'scion by ill health and was elected to the Stato1 Senate in tbo full of 18.12, beating id tho contost Hon. L. W. Hall, then Speaker of the body, nnd ono of tho most distinguished leaders of the- Re publican party in Pennsylvania. Sineo that timo Senator Wallace has been :t member of the Senate, nnd Is how frt' his last year of his third term. II took rank at onco as ono of tho ablest members of tho body, and for four years has been tho recognized Icadcf of his party in tho Senate. in 1 !St4 tho Democratic convention seloctcd him ns tho Chairman of llirf State Committee and gave him the. leadership of (ho Democracy in that contest. Mr. Wallaco bad not sought the place end ncccplcd it as a duty.' Wo were just emerging from the wary and power, money and influence were against Iho Domocracy. In 1SG6, ho was continued as chairman by the unanimous voico of tho pconlo. ana again with unflinching devotion ho bent his wholo mind to Ihe work, and for tho first timo in many years systematic and thorough organization of tho party was made. InlSGTho aghin was chairman and by his ener gett efforts and thorough work c&P- ried the State for Jtldgo SnatswOod: In 1SC8 the party again demanded hi. services find they wcro given wilh all Ibe vigor of his great power of organ; ization, and nnder his lead tho Democ-" racy in October mado the most gal lant up-hill fight in their history. Irl all theso campaigns he enjoyed the entire confidence of every section of tho party. Io Ins high character for personal integrity was due, in a great measnre.ournbility to raise the sinews' of war for these vampsigns, for nnder' his management It was certain that . evory dollar of money subscribed would be honestly applied to the legiti mate pdrpoAes of the contest. Whert the campaign Of ltflS was over tlitf minutiss of the orgsriiastion of the party had, under the skilllul hand of its leader, acquired system and cohe rence.
