And omcIi íeature of it has boen iwaloiraly advooatedby tho Tribune at intervals f-inco tho crv"n!uer.cen;ent of tho secesión movoment. It ia verv well undetood th'ut Mr. Bcward ís cpposed lo this prj?et, wbioh is eipeotod, hosrev.er, tofínd wjpporteta iu oiber meanbers of iho CubineU lio believea it to Lo the liutat0 - not only of Jay, but ot' poir.i - fcr the republioan party to suetaia tho Union, - i.ot oiily by norcla aod by a show of zoal bevond knowledge on it behull, - but by such practical and judioious measurea as proinise to cotcae it from tliH poiils which ir.onace iis ox Í8tenca. It is very lair, na oreo ver, to assumo that Mr. Soward uiünutremajn fbr an hour in aijy admiuitration which ahull not aot piaoti'.aüy and subftantiiíliy upon th'u policy. Just a ■oob. therefore, as the Ti inc can perpuado Mr. Liücohi that it is not worth whilo totakt) aoy paioa to proserye the Union, and can indnöe a olear devtsloptuont of that policy mi tbu part of Ir.s administraron, it wil] unquètsionably have the satisftiot.on of soeing tbe DoLarttnenl ot' State vacant. And t is by no nieans impóssible ttíat, in that cóntingoncy, Mr. Greeley miglu be in vited to fiil'it. Wc aro inclinad to ba'iove that upon reñection tho great mass of thorej.ublican party will agree vyith 5Ir. Seward ; and' tinleaa his past deolarations greatly baüo his present sentiments, 3Ir. Lincoln will alio be oí the same opinión. It would bo a liitlu sioeular, certainly, if tho republicnns should genuraliy Fitvor a dwruption o'' the Union just as thoy have cbtained cpatrol ot .ts goveminent. For mnny yoars, u hile it hu been in the hands of iheir euemies, they have ülung to it as the sheet-aouhor of hope for every principio whioh they proios?od. They havo at lust conquored. They have at last dethroned the slave interest trom the ascendenoy it bas so loog muintained over the general govarnment. They have 8ecured control of tho whole Exeoutive power anü patronage of the Union, and have, for Uie fint timo in the biütory oí the government, a chance ♦o make their principios feit in huping the policy and guiding the destinies o this graat Eepublio. And thi= i.s thu moment at whioh they are ex peo tod to heoorne comparativoly indiöoreut to tho preuervation of the Union !
