A Ui 1 loONci.mro from rmr pa.uk. mi pressed; ttaatafurwartls, wbeu f'aiueron "felt the pressure of the multiplied he piopuwj to rrsUu, but coupled his oil' with couuiClou that "some ope should te appointed Kot unfriendly to bin policy," iwruflv. the poli-y ol aruotni? to" which Mr. Lincoln was himself opposed that Cameron uid resign upon-th terms, and used the priviW-ge eout.dod to him by Hujorestinir the namo of Stanton. Everybody who knows Himon Yim-ron will undcr-vtand the object of draginjf this thin by the head and shoulders into your article.

In fact and In truth, there was no kind of connection between these two men no syrupatny nor mii-tuftl respoct, Cameron slid not resitt he was TttrurVfd for jrood cnns. Hb had no lot or part intinmlnif Us The removal and the appointment were both made before Mr. Cameron knew of either, and they were jnade because the President saw the necessity of boxing a man at the head of that department who was competent an incorrupt iMe. The correspondence afterward. published, under the mimes of Monsrs.

IJneoln and Cameron, was flcttrioua, and was pot up at the Instance of the latter in order to Rive the affair a false appearance. It 1 morally impossible that Stanton could have Kiven hisapproval toCameron'sabortive report vn the nojrrows. for he was at that time a white man, every Inch of Mm, proud of the great race he Kpramr'from and full of faith In it capacity to fight its own battles and jrovcrn itself. Nothing would have humiliated him more than to see the American people relinquish their rifrht-rul place in the front rank of the world, surrender their inheritance, of free government, and sneak back behind the African for protection in war or in peace. Ixinjr after he was Secretary of War he told Mr.

Mallory, of Kentucky, that ho had not only refused to sanction the enllst-ment of a negro rcjrlment. but. had punished an officer for merely proposing- it. I understand that jrou have promised to contradict yourpolf on this subject, and I hope you will keep our word. Your account of ma raid upon the Treasury, in company with Governor Morjrnu, would look very etranjre In a panegyric made by nnybody but vou.

I will restate "the facts von have given, but without the drapery by which you conceal from yourself the view of them which must unavoidably be taken by all men who lK-lieve in the oblljration of any law, human or Divine. In the winter of 1SC3, the Legislature of Indiana was dissolved In-fore the appropriation had been made to carry on the State Government or uid in putting troops in the field. Of course Congress did not and could not make appropriations for carrying-on th State Government or putting troops" in the field, which the State was bound to raise at her own expense. Hut the Oovernor determined to get what money ho wanted without authority of law, and he looked to Washington for assistance. President Lincoln declined to aid him.

because no money could be taken from the Treasury without appropriation. Mr. Stanton, being applied to, saw the critical condition of tho Oovernor, and, without scruple. Joined, him in the financial enterprise. He drew a warrant for a quarter of a million of dollars and gave it to the Governor to spend as he pleased, not only without being authorized by any appropriation for that purpose, but in defiance of express law appropriating the same money to another and entirely different object.

If this be true, the guilt of the parties can hardly be overcharged by any words which the English language will supply. It was f'ettimr money out of the treasury, not only im-awfuily, Vait'by a process as dishonest as larceny. It Involved tho making of a fraudulent warrant, of which the moral turpitude was no less than that committed by a private individual when he fabricates and utters a false pajer. It was a gross and palpable violation of the oaths which the Governor and Secretary bad both taken. It was, by the statute of If 1(5, a felonious embezzlement of the money thus obtained, punishable by a line aud ten years' imprisonment In the penitentiary.

The parties, according to your version, were hot li conscious of the nigh crime they were pcrpetratinjr, for. you make one say to the other, "If the est use fails, vou and I will be covered with prosecutions, and probably Imprisoned or dri'en from the country." You do not diminish or mitigate the offense ono whit by saying that the money was afterward accounted for. A felony cannot be compounded or condoned by a simple restitution of tho spoils; and the law I have cited was made expressly to prevent officers charvred with the safe keeping, transfer or disbursement of public moncv roiu using it to accommodate friends in "critical condition." But what will be said of your trustworthiness as a coutributer to history when the public comes to learn that this whole story i3 bogus? I pronounce it untrue in the aggregate and in the detail in the sum total and in every item. The truth is this; In 1SW the Democratic majority of the Indiana Le-. gisiature were ready and willing to pass their proper Hnd usual appropriation bills, nt were prevented by the Itcpublicaii minority who "liolted" and left the houses without a quorum until tho constitutional limit of their pessiun expired.

The Governor refused to re-convene them, and thu by his own i'auit aiul I hut of his friends, ho was without the ways tuut nieons to pay theourrent e.eiisos of the State. He was wrong, out his error was that of a violent partisan, not the crime of a corrupt magistrate. He did not come to Wa.shinp-ton with any intention to relieve his necessities by plundering tho federal He made no proposition either to Mr. Lincoln or Mr. Stanton that they, or either of them, should become his accomplices In any such crime.

His purpose was to demand payment of debt due. aud acknowledged to be due, from the United States to the State of In- liana. The money hatl hern aiiprnjrriatxl by Congress topay.it, and it tens accwUiitg In law! I know not now Mr. Morton may like-to see himself held up as a felon confessing his guilt, but I can say, with some confidence, that if Mr. Stanton were alive he would tall you to a very severe reckoning.

What must amaze the readers of your article more than anything else is the perfect sincerity of the belief winch you express, directly or Indirectly, in every lino of It, that tho misconduct you attribute to Mr. Stanton is eminently praise worthy. You seem to be wholly miconseiou of defaming the mail you meant to eulogize, liii.t.. if Aiur Xucts be accepted, the honor and honesty of them will not be mcus.ii reel by your standards. It may be time that public opinion has of late been much debauched but the American icople have not permanently changed their code of morality.

ood faith between man and -man, personal integrity, wicial fidelity, observance ox oat lis, and obedience to the laws which hold society toget her, ha ve heretofore been numbered among the virtues, und-they will be -ngaia. -The "government of God has not been Fraud or force may abolish tho Constitution, but tlioTcu Commandments aud the Golden Ilule are "beyond vour reach some persons have faith t'liouirh to believe that eve the of hell shull uot prevail against them." The odious character you have i vi a Mr. Stanton Is not merely unjust in itself, but, -if uncontradicted, it must lead to other misconceptions of bim. Besides the offences against luw, jui-tlce, humanity and truth which you have enumerated and assigned to him for his glorification, he ha been churned with others which, if established, must expose him to universal execration. For instance, it is asserted that in the wi titer of 13(51, when he was a member of the Cabinet, he gave to Governor Brown, of Mississippi, the most emphatic assurance of his conviction that tieoeession was right, aifd urged him to go on with it that In lStii, while he wag writing the most affectionate letters to General M'Clellan, he not only maligned bim at Washington, but maliciously plotted his defeat and the destruction of his army before Richmond that he refused In 1K04 to receive the Anderson-ville prisoner when otfor-d freely without nm-soui, exchange, or other equivalent though he knew if left there they must perish miserably for want of the medicine and food which their captors had not themeans to give them.

These accusations, you are aware, have often been made, with horrible aggravations which I need not repeat. His friends have denied and discredited them, mainly on the ground that -his character was wholly above such imputation. But you have done your full best to make this defense worthless. If he wore the cloak of constitutional Democracy with us, and put on tho livery of abolitionism with you, why should he not assume the garb of (secessionist with the men of the South If he tried to get his friend Toucey kidnapped, what moral principle could hinder him from contriving the ruin of his friend M'Clellan If he craftily exerted himself at your end of the avenue to bring on a bloody civil war, which, according to his own declarations at oir end, was tm lawful and causeless, what crime airainst human life was he not capable of committing? If he wilfully left our prisoners to certain starvation, and then managed falsely to throw tho odium of -their death upon the political enemies of I he party iu power, and thus contributed very largely to the enslavement of the Southern States, was not that an act of "intense aud abounding patriotism," as well wortbv of your praise as some tothers for which you have bestowed it? Thosowl give credit to you will tiud it perfectly logical to believe the worst that has ever b-n said of bim. Sejauus has passed for about the worst specimen Of ministerial depravity whom we have any account of but nothing is recorded of him which might not lie believed of Stanton, if you are regarded as credible authority; for you have made it a labor of love to paint him as a master in the loathsome arts of treachery, dissimulation and falsehood unfaithful alike to private friendship and to public duty.

With the tu lent he possessed and the principles you ascribe to bim, he might have made tin invaluable Grand Vi.ier to a Turkish Sultan provided the Suitan were in the prime of life and had no powerful brother near the throne but in a free country sneb chana-ter cannot be thought of without and abhorrence. In your eyes the "intense and nlwiundine patriotism" of Stanton is sufficient to alone not only for a'l the faults he had, but for all the ot-f (rases against law aud morals which tho utmost fertility of your imagination can luy to his charge; and patriotism iu your vocabulary means devotion to the interests of that political Beet which has you for one of its This will not suffice. You cannot safely blacken a man with onflrhand and neutralize the fleet bv dabbing-1 the whitewash of patriot-lam with the other. Patriotism, in its true sense, does indeed dignify and adorn human lt-i an eaitedtnd- comprehensive species of charity, which hides a multitude of sin. The patriotism of Washington, which laid broad and deep the foundation of free Institu-MomCand set the noble example of implicit obedience to the laws; the patriotism of John Hampden, who voluntarily devoted his fortune and hi life to the maintenance of legal justice; tSe patriotism ot Cato, who reelt4 tfc aettruo- tive madness of bis countrymen anil greatly fell with falling Stated the patriotism of Daniel O'Counell, who tytul bin time and tulent in constant effort to relieve his people fi.m the.

railing yoke of clerical oppreseic-o the patrib Ism of the eider Pitt, who, spvaJiUig in te cause of universal 4ibeity, loudly rejoiced that America had resisted the enaction of tyrannical Parlianieut to gueh patriotism some errors maybe pardoned. When men like these are found to have committed a fault, it is well that history should deal with it tenderly. And, sad us arurels for the good man's sin, Weep to record and blush to give it In. But the lovnltv that trampk-s on law the fidelity which stabs the liliertiea it onrht to protect the public zeal which exrwvmls itself in gratifying the vindictive or mercenary passions of enc pwvtv bv the unjust oppression of aiiot liferthis kind o'f patriotism has less claim to the admiration of the world. It Is a cheap thit readilv supplied to any faction unprincip'ed enough to pay for it.

It is entirely too "intt ee and abounding;" and its intensity and abi td-tioce aw alwa greatest in the worst times, it does not sanctify evil deeds. If it be not a sin in itself, it certainly deserves to be ranked among what Dr. Johnson calls "the rascally virtues." Mr. Stanton's reputation is just now in a critical condition. He took no care of it while he lived, and he died, like Bacon, leavinga vulner able name "to men's charitable speeches." He needs a more discriminating eulogist than you and a far better defence than I am able to make.

I have not attempted to portray his good qualities; I intend only to pnrtost against your shameless parade of vices to which he was not addicted and crimes which he never commit ted; and this I liave done, not only because it is just to him, but necessary fur tho vindication of others. J. S. Black. A il 15 EL IMPBVOED BEE HIVE.

The undersigned has secured letters-patent of the United States, dated December 14, 18('9, for ah improvement in the construction of Bee Eives, and claims for bis invention advantages possessed by no other. heretofore patented. The principal feature of this Pee Hive is tire arrangement by means of which it is thoroughly ventilntcd, thus precluding the possibility of the bees smothering, ilie comb moulding or the honey souring. This desirable end is accomplished by. a vertical pet forated tube, runiiiug centrally "through the hive and open at the top and bottom.

All persons interested in apiculture will at once see the great advantages secured ir. this improvement. The ventilatoi is for the increase of bees The peculiar construction of the box, particularly in the arrangement of the inner compartments, whereby it can be cleaned at any time without disturbing the bees, is another valuable improvement which will be obvious to any person who examines this Hive. An examination of the workings of the bees or the condition of the interior can be made at any time, as the sides are cased with glass. Bees can be trasferred from a different hive to the improved one wjthout any difficulty whatever.

It would require too much space to enumerate here all the advantages claimed in this invention, but full information will be promptly furnished by applying in person or by letter to the patentee. I am now jrepared to dispose ol territory for the sale of the Improved Bee Hive in any portion of the United States. PETER CAMPBELL, Carrolltown, Cambria Pa.
