And the breakers talked with Death. As thus we sat ie darkness, Each one busy iu his prayers— “We are lost!’’ the captain shouted, As he Staggered dov/u the stairs, But his little daughter whispered, As “he took his icy band, “Isn’t God upon the ocean, Just the same as on the land ?"

From the x. W fork Her. Id, It,l | Mr. Johnson and lilt- ICadicalw j -Tlietianie for tho Presidency j -Never was a party so hi nildcrod as the j Radicals are, cr more perplexed as to the means t f escape from the false po sition in which they have been caught with such adroit audacity. TI ey beat tho air with a wild fury, they fume frightfully, and in all their attempts to Ite t -rriblc they mutter aud murnhlo w ' l,! Imbecile persistency, impeachment, impeachnn nt, impeachment—us il that W‘ id, so teaiful to ihcm.-elvee, must bo equally fearlul to all others. It is their one weapon, and they dare not use it. Iu fact, iu fact-of the President's bnld playing, the Republican leaders find themselves reduced to the necessity of of considering what course they may choose with least harm to themselves, conscious that however they may deter mine, and whatever step they take, their acts must inevitably result in an advantage to him whom they will ruin. If the Senate refti-e the prop. *ed honor to McClellan it in another blew against soldiers, OQt liidicalsjif they refuse that to Thomas tbey do a thou sand fold worse id the same way ; while if tbey confirm either the Resident's game will be the stronger, siore tc will have handsomely provided for an oppo sition favorite in McClellan, and in Thomas have honored and exalted the only man combining in bis single per son all the elements necessary for a candidate to divide the national voice with Grant. If Congress 'attempt to save Stanton without impeachment it only can do so by a revolutionary ap peal to force, which must prove a ter rible error. If it attempt impeachment that fact will fall like another apple of discord, and will lead to personal strug gles in the party that will demoralize and destroy it On either hand, there fore, its adherence to S'nnton is ruin ous; and it cannot aband -n him, for that admission fatal to all confidence in it. It cannot give Stanton up pow. He is chained round the neck of his par ty, and they must go to the depths to g-ther. feuch is the actual position which has resulted from that strange piece of in f (nation with the Rejublicao party that most ftuitful and the at oinpt to hold him in ■ ffi.v? by force of a law that its very framers declar., with all possible emphasis, was uever made for the purpose. Here is a min who ought to go out cf the place, as it, is agteed on all hands and for all reasons. He is a constant uffiiio; to the dignity of the nation, and the people feel hourly degraded in the thought that ihc tune of high political litu is down to tho kicking out level. l>e oause he ke ps this point so unplca-ant ly conspicuous is the first great reasou why Mr. Stanton should retire. An other is, that It is the intent of tho Con sti'ution that the President should he th l Executive, and of all laws in rela ion to depart id nts that the President should ch 0.-e their h ads in so far as they are to be bi-. advisors. He rh■ u'd re ire, also because as the President cannot be suppos and to transact business through him an important depaitmenf of the government is crippled on his acciunt, for, although he cannot actual ly be S cretary of War, to any practical j.U'Dose —though be baricade himself in the War office and hold its achieves till eterni'y—the President acting over hisbeal is supreme for all disposition or the army; yet, as be ioteifires wi b the ordinary routine of duty in the de partment, he is a nuisance and an evil. It is lor this reason that General Grant declares that “for the good of the service and of the country ho ought to resign,”and for this reason, no doubt, General Sherman hclds that if he will not resign “ulterior measures,” should bo ‘eoDtrived’ to get rid of him. There is not a man in the Uuited States Sen ate with a healthy brain who does not think that Stanton should go out of of fice, and tho best Republicans in the Senate have declared in m moderate terms that the Tenure of office would never have be ome a law i; it could have been imagined that a cabinet of ficer would descend so low as to avail himself of it to hold his place against the will of the President. Well, then, the President is clearly in tho effort to rid the Cabinet of sucli a man. He is in agreement with the Senate, with General Giant, with General Sherman, and with eomumii sense of the whole country. And it is on such a point—on a point in which the President has to sustain him all con.id. rations of law, pr per y, even g »>d taste, and all opin ions uot fanatical—that, the H publi cans cb se •“ fight hrn ; and for this fight they tortured to their purpose a statute never meant to cover it U«>w tremendously they blundered is seen in the fact that they esnuot win in this figbs without pursuing a course oep- tain to destroy them eventually.- N r can they admit their blunder and retire, for that would give the Prcsilent an eclat tlrnuga wLieb tLey con’d not live.- Since it is the P es'deDcy that 's at stake in this contest—since it is that glittering prize of all political marcev res thut is to be lost or won—there is abundant motive fir the issue to be fought, out with spirit, and it is not strut ge that Mr. Johnson follows up his C'se with a clear sighted tenacity. He can do all that it r quires and come out wi h clear, hands; he will even be held as deiit quenl if be does not do all that the oceasi iD requires -delinquent be fore tbe law and before public senti ments. As it is the general will that Mr S anton should cot be Secretary, the Presidents acts in sympathy with that will iu removing him, and has the full constitutional power to doit; nor can it ever be advanc'd against him that he did it in if fiance of any law, since be has the positive declaration made on the floor of tbe Senate that it was not in'ended by 'ho framers of the -"enure of office law to cover such a case. I He Las, then fore, freedom of action, with right on his side, and his adversa ries Lave neither. Bound hand and foot, in doubt at ev ery step whether to turn to the right or the left, the step, however taken, both involves them iu violation of the law and damages them in public opinion Indeed, it is the essence of this last ooup that Mr. Johnson forces tbe coun try to see more clearly what Radical ism has done lie shows what tbe acts of the Radicals are by showing iheir logical consequence. In'develop ing tbe position of the Republican par ty he shows it to be such that men who have hitherto felt, themselves in sympa thy with that party find they can no longer adhete to it, he has caught the party in a false position, and as it is driven from p int to point by bis forc ing it, fiods that at every advance it loses by defection of the vast masses that will not see the interest of the country sacrificed to make the fortune of a political coterie or to save a miscl e vious and fanatical idea. In this fight ho bids fair to waste the RadioaL faction, and thus des’roy that compact j m j .rity that has ruled the country j with such arrogance and tyranny.
