Whoever is not prepared to snore fie party organization? and platforms on the altar ol his country does not deserve the support and countonauco of honest people. Ihnv nro ivo to overeonte partw.an antipathies in the minds of men of all parties so as to present a united front in support ot our country.' We must eeasc discussing pirty issues, make no allusion? to old party tests, have no criminations and recriminations, indulge in no taunts one against the other, as to who has been the cause of those troubles.

When we shall have rescued the Government and country from its perils, and seen its flag flouting in triumph over every inch of .American soil, it will then lie time enough to enquire as to who and what lias brought these troubles upon us. When wo shall have a country and a Government for our children to live in peace and happiness, it shall be time for each ot us to return to our party banners according to our own enn\ it'tious of right and duty. Let him be marked as no true patriot who will not abandon all such issues in times like thcaC. —[Doughs at Chicago.

MOB XING- NEWS.

The news from Missouri under date of 11th inst., from Otterville says the Union mon from Lafayette county report that TOO rebel recruits left Lexington yesterday morning to join Price's arm3'.

A band of musicians, 1G in number, from the rebel army were captured near Dunksburg on Monday..

A son and son-in-law of Gov. Magoffin have also been taken. They were the leaders of the foraging party which made the attack on our teams on Saturday last.

Tho scouting party which left hereabout ten days ago is said to have surprised a rebel camp in Saline county, capturing a largo number of wagons and taking 15 prisoners.

It is rumored here that Price is advancing northward. Tho news from Sedalia. Mo., of same date says it is reported that a fight took place yesterday near Waverly, Lafayette county, between a body of rebels under the notorious Joe Shelby, and a detachment of federal cavalry. They were fighting again this morning, but no particulars arc given.

The President has declined to communicate to Congress any communication addressed by the governments of England, France and Spain, in regard to the armed intervention proposed by them, in the affairs of Mexico. lie deems that it is incxpedient.at this time to do so.

The Kentucky Provisional Government passed an act taxing brokers %25 a week who charge a discount on TenBesseo or other Southern money.

Zollicoffer, with a large force, is at Burksville. Southern papers say tho federal forces cannot get more than onc-thiid of tho sea-island cotton raised in theSouth, the value whereof is only $750,000.

The Electoral College of Tennessee, at'Nashville, on the 4th inst., voted for Davis and Stevens for President and Vice President.

Interestlrin from Keii»«cky. LEXINGTON, Ky., Dec. 11. Letters received to-day from Mr. Ingraham. hotel keeper, and Mr. Carson, postmaster at Somerset, sa}' that fighting between the pickets had ceased, and the rebels had returned across the river. Col. Hoskins had resumed his former position near the river.

Somerset is six miles this side of tho river and has never been in posession of the rebels as heretofore reported. The letters were received by Mr. Saffell, proprietor of the stage line to Somerset, and arc rcliablo.

TIjo President and Cameron. The New7 York Times says the account given by the Tribune of the difference between the President and Secletary Cameron in regard to amending the report of the latter, is grossly unjust to the President. It represents Mr. Cameron as obstinately refusing to strike from his report matter that the President regarded as extraneous, and conniving at tho publication of tho report as originally written, in defiance of the wishes and commands, even, of the President. It is sufficient to say that the President would never havetolerated any such contumacy, if it had been exhibited, and equally clear that Mr. Cameron understands the proprieties of official life too well to have conducted in such a style. The truth is Mr. Cameron yielded to the suggestions of tho President, and himself amended his report by striking out such parts as the President objected to, agreeing to support the President's views fully and cordially. On no other condition would he, or could he, have remained another hour in the Cabinet.

The difference between the opinions expressed in theso two passages all lies at one point. They agree with each other and with the universal sentiment of the nation, in saying that the slaves of rebels shall not be hsed to cariy on the war against us, and we be bound to protect such property, when we take and use against the rebellion all other property. To mend and whet the weapon with which an enemy is trying to kill us, is altogether too magnanimous to be sensible. But thoy differ in this, that one leaves the slaves, thus appropriated from the rebel service, to such disposition as may bo made by Congress after tho war is over, and the other saj-s they must not be sent back to slavery. Tho difference is rather verbal than real, as Congress will not be likelj* to remit to bondage the slaves who havo assisted us in tho war. The whole difficulty, wo apprehend, lies in

If nothing had been said of his proposed slave policy before the appearanco of his report wo doubt if there would have been much dissension about it. Probably there are not ten loyal mon in the nation who do not fully admit the right and duty of tho Government to take the slaves of rebels, to deprive our enemies of such a valuable auxilary, and appropriate it to our own use. And probably there is no greater number who, if the icar were over, would den}' that it would be right to make such slaves free, and send them to Ilayti, or wherever else they may choose to go.

Why then is thero such bitterness of difference about Mr. Cameron's views? Because, as we believe, tho promulgation in advance of the purpose to free confiscated slaves is construed into the

which among loyal slaveholders is regarded as a blow at the institution of slavery and at their property. They argue that if tho Government declares its purpose to free all slaves that come to it for protection, paying for those of loyal owners, it might as well declare at once that slavery should not exist iI ad n. is hey regard as a violation of the Constitution. In this the}* are partly right, at least far enough right to justify them in resisting such a policy unless they are prepared to give up their slave property for the gratification of tho Government. Few slaveholders are yet prepared to do that. The Louisville Journal, hitherto devotedly loyal, denounces e\cr the President's hesitating admis. or that such a policy might posciblv be rendered necessary, with a vehemence' that shows how fearfully its full adoption would agitate and divide the loyalty of the loyal slave States. It would ^unquestionably eake-n the Union cauto in tlio^-e States, possibly push them out of llio Union, and open our

Free State borders to rebel incursions. The evil is immediate. The advantage is remote. |To confiscate rebel slaves and use thahi, as we may deem best-, is a policy concurred in on all hands. Why complicate it and weaken our cause among loyal slave owners by declaring any policy of disposition of slaves till the time comes to dispose of thorn. Let us take them, use them, pay theni, and do with them as may be best when the war is over. No one need fear that any such slave will ever be remanded to bondage. No slave owner expects it, or desires it. But they fear the effect of promulgating official 1}

If a slavo owner prefiis to have his slavo to giving him up foi a fair valuation in money, he has the right to do it, and we havo no right to initiate a policy which will destroy his right, except as a last resort to save the Government.

Pomeroy, of Kansas, was chairman, and McPherson, clerk. Thad. Stevens made a long speech in favor of emancipation, lie denounced McClellan as trying to control the legislature and exercise the powers of the nation.

Dcvin, of N. Y\, replied, saying that if the object of tho caucus was to provide a war policy, it was very improper. Tho way to end the war was by fighting, not by the resolutions of Congress. lie closed by offering two resolutions endorsing the Philadelphiaand Chicago platforms that this meeting recognizes no right of a Congressional convention to add or take away from these statements of the principles wo are upholding that all political parties are giving loj'al support to the war, and nothing should be done by tho Republicans to create discussion or revive party distinctions in its prosecution.

ATE believe, as Henry Ward Beecher says, "that the war must be carried on within the constitution," and the moment we cany it to fome other purpose and limit, that moment we leave the loyal slave States no motive on eorth to remain with us.
