We begin to think that, notwithstand ing the extreme folly and fanaticism of 11. large portion of the Abolition leaders; there are quite a number of them who are more desirous of retaining power for thimselves, than of giving freedom to the ilexes. This regard for one's self, - has been of late admirably illustrated by sev eral distinguished Republican leaders, but by none So strikingly as Hon. Ben. Wade. of -Ohio. Up, until last fall, when his State selected conservative majority of legislators, that gentleman was among the mosttstrions Abolitionist in the Senate. Full of pluck and bluster, he was, upon all occasions, ready to let the Union slide, oekiek the South out only he feared she would not remain ejected. When -the eleetion, referred to, took place this West ern fire-eater became as mild as an aliiia ble old maid, and not a single objectiotta- Me speech passed his lips until the other day; after the Ohio Legislature had post poned, until its next session, the election of a United States Senator. As long as the matter remained in doubt, "old Ben" behaved himself with modesty and de corum; but he now returns to his had mau- Here, and roars as hoarsely as ever. _Mr. Charles Sumner, too, that rose wateri demagogue , some months since, n . trodueed into the Senate a string of reso lutions; reducing the Southern States to the condition of conquered. foreign pro viiiebsf he was for wholesale and imme diate-emancipation, confiscation and de vatitation ; nothing short of universal chaoithroughout the rebel States, appear ed-sufficient for him: his great revenge had stomach, for them all." But Mr. Thomas, iiiitember of the House of Representa tiveis, front Massachusetts, aspires to Snmiseetrplace in the Senate, and he is the favorite of the conservative Republi cans of his' State. He is a gentleman of fine ability, and is, like his supporters con servative and sensible. Sumner, there fores.like Wade, has grown singularly re tieentr he-no-more zilltules to his string of resointions; he has not attempted to call them up for discussion, but sits ruinimit ing upon'the " deep damnation," of their falling off'. He, too, is looking after are election, and so postpones, for the present all hill fine rhetoric about " bleeding liberty," and the expedition of his violent love, outrunning " the pauser. reason... Blifilifi"Paiiiier," seems to have obtained the mastery, and he, accordingly, neglects "-liberty," in order to save himself.-- These gentlemen are shining examples of those patriots, who will never permit duty to interfere with interest. - Theis - We i have that fussy blatherskite, Forney; he, for the past winter, has been endeavoring to construct a platform, which would save the Republicans, in Penissyliania, from the overwhelming de feat which awaits them at the next elec tion. He has, at length, found out- the very thing flir the occasion, mid it is noth ing more nor less than the President's ides—of-emancipation, remuneration and colonization. That is, the government is to buy the slaves first, and then colonize them in some "genial- clime," remote from the United States. This policy, Forney says unite all the "good men" of the nation:into an irresistable organization.- . --- I So, Wade,..and Sumner, and the rest of that class,- aro. required to temper down their-radicalism. Instead of passing arts, • freeingilie slaves, we are to huy them, if their owners - pre willing to sell ; instead of reeeiving them with open arms, we are re quired to colonize them--that is tran sport them, to some genial clime, pay the cost of transportation, and then lay on ad ditional fixation to meet. the expenses in curred. This is the new programme, which is expected to save Abolitionism from being rubbed out ; it won't do ; the -people will decide to pay the debts incurred the war, first, before .contracting others by the wholesale purchase and colonize tie!' of Slates.

If our AtoiaMponlry will only tell us what that army &sips, perhaps we may accept its invitation. If its !'army" wishes to keep rep .anagitation, which has already.proi *rated the Union; if it desires the menu misfilen of three or four millions of slaves, to be brought in .competition with white labor; if it is merely desirous to rescue these millions from Southern slavery and afterwards entail upon them Northern op pression, we are not prepared to "join" any such silly and criminal enterprise. We are not prepared to give freedom to ni-ulti tedee.ofPeOPle unfitted for so sudden .a transition, and then, after making then, free, pass State laws against the admission of free negroes within our borders. We are not prepared to inflict these outrages i w o,:ti ! ...la T es, and until the Gazft4detq (nitiates that its army is not endeavoring to ''do soy we decline its in Vitatiim to "join." SPECIAL DISPATCHES. There is no one fonder of genuine humor than Aire are, but there is such a thing se "running it into the ground."— The best story will not bear daily repeti tion; and for this reason we object to the ("fireside's playing off its "special dis patch" joke, every afternoon, upon a con fiding and unsuspecting public. This con stant infliction smacks of malice, and may be classed under the generic term of ma licious mischief. The Chronicle may im agine it funny, but like Mr. Blowhard's humor we, like Mr. Slasher, "can't see it." But to be more explicit: yesterday morning the Post published the substanee of a Letter from Paris, in which Napoleon sias reported to have said something 00m plimentiuy about our iron-clad simmers; our neighbor the aft?rnoon produced the-same, identical - intelligence; under the jocular caption of "Specia the A , ide.

The Duke of Somerset made a atal..iii.•iii in the llonse of Lords last night which scarcely co ated up to the exigencies of the Occasion. It would be foolish to suppose that a Minister who sustained all the re sponsibility of. meeting an exigency such as now arises is less alive'to the thets which have startled the world than the general :-. . . public. It hies, however, require a power of decision- which few men possess to look such a sudden revolution as this 'frankly in the thee and say that henceforward the wooden walls of England are only so far of use as they are capable of tieing covered by iron walls. The I of Somerset tells us that we have at this moment four iron eased vessels—the Warrior, the Black Prince, the Defense and the Resistance.-- These four vessels, of which two only are 1)0W ready, for ail practical purposes form the navy of England. If all the rest of our navy were drawn up in order of battle, there aro -half a dozen ships in the ivid,' which would not them down, and riddl e there with shot, and smash theme utterly, without allowing them a chance of reaist ;wee. Until, therefore. we have made these wooden ships shot. prctuf, it is Letter to put them aside altogether. It would be murder to semi men out to tight in them against iron-caged men-of-war. It must be conceded that than men-of war are not a large complement thr a Brit ish navy, even in the best assured tithe cif peace. We have, however, six other iron ships in preparation, and we are encour aged by the promise that one of theta will be launched in August. We hope, of course. that no occasion will rise for any ' of these vessels till long - after August, lint it is impossible to avoid the reflection that the vessel which has by her achievements revolutionized in two days the whole theo ry and practice of naval warfare was trans formed from a hulkinto what she-now is in three months, and that while we are lag ging behind the actual force of other pow ers, we are safe . in the forbearance of those who have been first to take advantage of 1 this new experience. iJ the nations of !the world are all transforming their wood len ships of war into mailed ships. we mnst igo faster then this, and must keep pace with them, or be left. at their meow. We may.make experiments at our leisare, and we may arrive at last at the very best mod el fora gnardship and a sea going inan:of war: but meanwhile we must hold our own. and we eau hardly think NV ft are holding our An by having four iron ships launch ea and one otherprornised by next AugaSl. As to the result of this new turn in the art of ship building, it must elearlyhe 44- tirely in favor of this country. Nothing but the most insensate neglect could 'strew it to operate against us. We have the best iron, the most skilled labor, the most; per fect machinery, and the highest capacity of produeing with rapidity great resulta.-- The more engines of warfare; whiitheraii val or military, become complicated and' elaborate, the greater is theadvantage to England.

At all events, we do not spend enormous stints of money, and defense is secured. From the Temps It does not the less remain established that the age of wooden vessels is passed. The Federal vessel the Cumberland, cut open by the spnr of the' Merrimac, and going to the bottom with all of her crew, courageously firing her last broadside, cannot be remembered without pain. 11 the .Monitor had not arrived, the sauna fate awaited perhaps . the Minnesota, which hail not less.jhatt)7oo men on board.— Ntivabltirkel*fattire will probably only admit of twereeetwor ships; iron clad ves sels, which . eatinet, , he boarded; destined especially to operate on the coasts and against fortresses: and steam vessels of great speed, capable of escaping by flight from the formidable artillery of the first, and employed for, distant expeditions.-- Ordinary steamships will perhaps one day serve as simple tugs to the floating batter ies, which in this manner might servo in the attack of the enemies' coastsand cover invasions. In the English Parliament it has already been proposed to protect the fortifications, in order to plata, them in a condition to resist the new vessels ; who knows if, in ordinary sieges, the system of attack of Vauban will not be renounced. and it'means will not be found to push forward on railways revolving towers arm ed with heavy guns. The duel has com menced between it-on and cannon, and if in naval battles we are brought hack to the spurs of the Punic wars, ordinary %%ars will perhaps restore to us something like those monstrous inaehines which were made use of in the sieges of antiquity. It is important to meat ions which care to pre sorve their position, not to allow theta - selves to be distanced in the struggle.— The engineer Ericsson. in eonstowling the Monitor, hes had the nierit rreating the .lir.st vessel whieh may be really railed invulnerable. The English iron-plated frigates cannot pretend to that title, as they are not entirely (-severed with iron, and seeondly, as their deck is open. the same its in the French vessels, so that the Cloire as well as the Warrior is liable to tee boarded. France has reason to con gratulate herself on hissing adopted for her iromecased vessels a smaller model than Thai used in England. but she mast also turn to account the important lessons which time Americans have given us. She must at the same time continue the im• ;in.% einentc in artillery that she' hits ewe meneed. The substitution of cylindrical tor cylindrical-commical shots is, eve know. one of the questions on whieli our scienti fic officers are now occupied: it will per haps furnish a means of efficaciously re sist im/ the armor-covered ships.
