If thcro ever was a time in the history of the Republican party when every member nhonltl stand lirm, it is now Self respect demands it, consistency de mands it, and the progressive interests of the world arc dependent upon the stability of the Republican party in the United States. Is there a people in any country who have accomplished so much for the preservation and purifi cation of n constitutional government as the people of the United Slates acting through this party? Its history is writ ten, and all that can be raid or done hereafter by the opposition cannot alter it. We were informed that there was no authority to coerce rebels, that the war was a Republican war, and t lie re sponsibility of conducting the country safely through it visited upon the peo ple acting through the Republican par ty. Every other party was utterly powerless, or wished to dodge the re sponsibility, and in national convention assembled fourycarsago, the Democratic party pronounced the war a failure, and decreed not another man, and not an other dollar, for peace through victory. Rutin spite of this party opposition, our armies were kept recruited, Abra ham Lincoln was again elected Presi dent by the loyal masses while- a draft was pending, and in due time a glorious victory crowned our eflbrts, and peace followed. The Democraticorganization did not so desire peace, but would rath er the result would have been a failure. in order that their oft repeated "I told you so" might prove true. If the De mocratic party had desired, peace might have been had three years earlier than it came, and at u Saving of hun dreds of thousands of valuable lives, and millions of dollars to the United States Government. Then who is not proud that he has belonged to the Republican party, that he has also been permitted to live through the most important period of our country's history to the present time ? And so living, is there any one who will renounce his patriot ism and political faith and go over the enemy ; or, what is worse, attempt to disorganize the party by bolting its nominations of good men when fairly inado$ No, every man should stand flrm,'for the Republican party lias much to accomplish yet in defence of its prin ciples, founded upon the immortal De claration of Independence. The debt which was necessarily contracted to pre serve the Government is yet to be paid in accordance with theagrcement which was made at the time. It remains for the opposition to repudiate. If a party will prove false to its country in war, will it not prove false to its country in everything when it appears to be for its temporary advantage to do fo. There is every reason why Republicans should stand firm and bo united in this cam paign. AVo should begin at homo and unite in Franklin County. The Demo crats m the county are joined to their idols ; let them alone. They will sup port their ticket solid. Shall our strength bo thrown away in dissensions, and we beaten at last in our county ticket ? Is it impossible for Republicans here to sacrifice a little personal feeling to the success of our county ticket? Do they remember tho great sacrifices which have been made for them by hundreds of thousands who have given their lives for the good of the country and their liberties? Really, it does seem to us that a republican who cannot do this, is unworthy to be known, or to receive tho mantle of victory which lias fallen upon him. e The Rochester (N. Y) Democrat says that "the German Republicans of Now York will poll next November n full vote, and probably a larger one than ever. Some of the principal bankers and merchants, who have been hither to strong Democrats, are now working zealously for Grant and Colfax jbecauso they beliovo that national ruin would bo tho consequence of a Democratic victory." Primary JIcctltifN, Those citizens who complain of bad selections of candidates for office, made at the primary meetings of the party for which they are accustomed to vote, have the lcincdy in their own hands. They should attend those meetings, and exert all their iniluence to see that prop er men nro nominated. If they do not work for J ho right men as well as for the right measures, there is little pro priety in their grumbling that the wrong men are selected as the represen tatives of the right measures. Henry Ward Reechcr, in his sermon of July Gth, lias some earnest, sensible, and in cisive words on this subject, which ovc "ry voter in the land should read and commit to memory. They are these : Clnistain men must learn their duty to their country in regard to politics. If we are t leave the administration of pnblic afl'airs to the men that most nat urally take to them, we leave ourselves to bo'governed by dishonest men. There is no nope, professional politicians are to take the management of primary meetings, and of general elections; if they are to select the candidates, then manage for their election, and then manage them when elected, there can be but one termination to such a course as that. We shall certainly sink under the corruption, that will ensue; we are sinking already. There is but one rem edy, aside from thone I have already in dicated ; and every Christian man is to consult, not his ease, nor his taste, nor his conscience, but his duty. You were sworn when you were born into this great nation. Birth is oath, in Ameri ca. And the man that sits at his ease, and refuses to think, to vote, or act as a citizen-politician, in this country, is a purjurer, and violates his most solemn practical oath. There is no man sot pious that he should not have much to do with pri mary elections. Thcro is no man so busy Unit ho is not bound to take time to attend them. It is the business of every ward, it is the business of every precinct, it is the business of every citi zen, of every neighborhood and commu nity, to see to it that uncorruptcd and uncorruptible men are first nominated for office ; secondly, elected. And what ever is necessary to do, mat becomes your duty. If it requires you to go to nasty places, you must go mere, it it reci uires you to meet bad company you must meet bad company. If it requires you to take tune to manage wriggling knaves, you must take time to manage wriggling knaves. The faithful house wife cannot say, "I have no time to ex terminate the pests of the bed and clos et and pantry;" she is bound to see to it that the food and raiment and child ren are kept clean. It takes time, to be sure. It is a disagreeable task to comb out children and wash them and care for them at all times, and cure them of a dozen disagreeable diseases that are in eident to them ; nevertheless, love docs it ; and you have got to comb and wash and clean the community in the same way. You arc, all of you, guardians and parents 01 the common weal : and Uliris tian men, with their laziness or their unwillingness to go into the inconven ience of those primary meetings that neglect these things and see matters go ing from bad to worse and think they nave no responsibility, ana nothing to but to rail at politicians, would do well to put to inenifcotves the question, "Wliat have 1 done to prevent or cure corruption l" Are you not a tree-born citizen and a voter? What is it that makes it the duty of every man in this country to devote his time to this mat ter, that does not make it equally your duty? Holstkix oh Dutch Cattlk.

Opinions of AttorurU'dctwrul Hearts. : T;, , , , I Culloeh of tho 28Mi ult., has prepared . and communicated to the Secretary an , elaborate and lengthy opinion regard-, matter of appoint lug a Collector of Cup- toms at Alaska, which olllcc was created bv an act passed at the iat session of I Congress but for which no tioinih: t on was made, owing to the adjournment of , the Senate before an opportunity was af-1 forded for making such nomination.and i also in regard to the appointment of a Collector at New Orleans, which office was vacated by the resignation of W. 1'. Kellogg, who toooli his seat in the hen- ale as Senator from Louisiana. In regard to the Alaska Collcclorship Mr. EvnrtM. after reviewing the liinirunire of the Coustitution and the laws as ap plicable thereto, says : " i he olllce to winch you reier should tie set in opera tion at once, unless some legal objection to filling it exists. I don't find its case within the operations of the tenure of civil olllce act and under the accepted onstittitional iiuthorityof the President. I have no doubt of his power to grant a commission to a collector of customs for Alaska which shall expire at the end of the next session ol the t-enale." Mr. Evarts furnished a separate and very long and elaborate opinion in re gard to the New Orleans collectorship He states the case as iollows : "Un the 10th of July, 180S, Mr. W. II. Kellogg, Collector of Customs at New Orleans, tendered his resignation of that olllce, and subsequently on the same day was sworn in and took his seat as a Senator of the United Stales from Louisiana. No action was then taken upon his re signation by the Executive Department, but before the adjournment of Congress, which occurred on the ziin ol July, the President sent to the Senate a nomina tion of a successor to Mr. Kellogg, as Collector. ino confirmation ol a sucecs.-or was made by the Senate. Whether the nom inations were rejected or laid over by the Senate does not appear. The ollice is now performed by a dep uty previously appointed by Mr. Kel logg under the 2M section of the act of March lid, 17SU, first statistics OH. Mr. liiVarts lurther says: "L have not a doubt that the ollice of Collector at New Orleans became vacant by the resignation of Mr. Kellogg, and by his complete institution as a member of the Senate, and it is not important to in quire in the present case which of them was the efficient means of his withdraw al from the ollice. Either, in my judg ment, was adequate to the effect. So, too, if there had been no express icsig nation of his ollice Mr. Kellogg's 10 ceptance of the place in the Senate and his induction into it, in view ol the pro vision of the Constitution that no per son holdingany office under the United States shall act as member either House during his continuance in ollice, must be considered as having the legal cha racter of a resignation of the office of Collector. The cae is one, therefore, of an ollice which became vacant during tho late session of the Senate by reason of resig nation, .way the lro ideiit now mi the vacancy by gianting a commission which shall expire at the end of the next session of ilie Senate? Tho ques tion thus presented, so far as it arises under the special and limited constitu tional authority of the President to act upon vacancies in ollice without tho ad vice and consent of the Senate, is a fa miliar one, and though not unfortunate ly the subject of consideration in one form and another by my learned prede cessors in the office of Atty-General. The result of their deliberations has been uniform, and has furnished the guide upon which the practice of the Executive has been equally uniform. The constitution says: "Tho President shall have power toYill up all vacancies that may happen during the recess of tho Senate by granting commissions that should expire at the end of the next session. The only doubt ever suggested upon the constitutionality of this clause of tho constitution has relation to the true interpretation of tho phrase " that may happen during the recess of the Senate.'' Tho subject was fully discussed by Mr. West in the year 1823, and no view or argument that could shed light upon a correct decision was omited for his con sideration of it. He arrived at the con clusion that the vacancies in office which might be filled by the President under this clause of the constitution was not confined by it to vacancies originating or oeginning to exist during the recess of tho Senate, but embraced all vacan cies that from any causo should happen to exist at tho time when the Senate cannot bo consulted as to filling thoin. 1 am therefore of tho opinion that upon the well considered and long continued interpretation of this clause of the con stitution, the President lias power to fill tho vacancy in tho office of collector at New Orleans by granting a commission that shall expire at tho end of tho next session of tho Senate, and thnt the tenure of civil office act does not in terms nor in intent, nor in legislative constitution of this clause of the constitution effect this power of tho President in tho case submitted for my opinion. ExaLisir Estimate of Quant. The Saturday Jicvicw, which rarely com pliinents anything, particularly any thing American, thus refers to one of our countrymen. A biography of Gen. Grant appears opportuenly,and no doubt intentionally, just on tho eve of tho Prcsiden tal elec tion.

Claflin & Co.'h, and weighing two hun dred aiid sixty-one pounds, started from the city about nine o'clack to cross over to his home in Hoboken. lie slipped on the ferry boat, fell overboard, and the night being very foggy, ho was un percoived. Afte:1 swimming a short distance he turned overon his back, and lloatcd along with the tide, he knew not whither. It was s-o dark and foggy he could not see either shore, nor determine their direction, and he accordingly con tinued to float down the Hay, past Bed low and Governor's Islands, through the Narrows, and out to sea. Upon the following morning, at half-past four o'clock, a party of New Yorkois, on a yotcht, who had been caught in the fog, 'discovered him oft the coast of Staten Island, below the forts, being rapidly borne out to mid-ocean. They let down a small boat, and found liini in an un conscious condition. Tho application of some cordials and stimulants, how ever. Kion brought him to his sense-, and he is now back again in his estab lishment, performing his accustomed duties. The gentleman was in the wat er from half-past nine in the evening to half-past four in the morning a period of seven hours was carried by the tide a distance of nine miles, and continued to float after he became unconscious.

The Philadelphia J'rcM relates the following anecdote illustrating tho un- s?llriiui03s oi tno nue rnaudeus Stevens: "A little more than two weeks since, the writer of these lines had a long in terview with him, during which Mr. Stevens spoke freely of his own affairs, and unconsciously revealed the secret of his rare influence upon his fellow-beings. 'A year ago,' lie said, 'I had so fully made up my mind to die, that I parted with nearly all my money ; and now, when I may last a little longer, I find myself really in need of the ready cash.' lie did not say how he had par ted with his money, but those who liave felt his generosity, always exhib ited quietly and gracefully, know what has become of it." It is reported that Senator Doolittle will be nominated for Congress by the Democrats of the First Wisconsin De mocrats.
