Better Mews from the South* The brave campaign of Douglas in tbe Southern States has produced, and is produ cing, glorious traits* 1 His voice has cheered the hearts and nerved the arms of the true friends of tho Union. He has .matched di rectly into the camp of the Secessionists, and while they glared upon him, the threats which menaced him in advance, were hushed, be cause nothing fell, from his lips but modera tion and truth;/ The generous and chivalric sobs of the SoutVrecoiled from the attempt to do violence to this fearless champion of tho right. It had been given out that he was to He insulted at Montgomery, Ala., and at Atlanta and Macon, Ga., but, so far as heard from, those who led in the crusade have not shown theirTaces, and the great body of the people have rallied in crowds to his meetings. In Missouri the Union feeling, as repre sented by the St. Louis Republican) is so strong that even Senator Green— one of tbe extremes! advocates of the slave code—has been forced to announce that the election of Lincoln will be no cause for secession or disunion. In Kentucky, the Louisville Jour nal, edited by Prentioe, and the Louisville Democrat) edited by Habney and Hughes, are rallying the friends of Bell and Douglas to the support of au imperilled country; and the Douglas State Committee, appreciating tho publio daugor, issued au address on the 31st of October, from which we take tho fol lowing extract: “ Recent events in oonnection with the visit of Mr. 1 anoey to Kentuoky, and the action of the Disunion leaders in this and other Southern States, .clearly indicate that tho issues of the Presidential canvass are undergoing a great and rapid change, and that the mere minor questions of Federal poli cy will soon be, if they are not already, dwarfed and forgotten in the great and paramount issue of the preservation of the Union itself. That the . Union is in immediate and imminent'perilthat traitorous assaults are meditated, and will soon be directed with frantic energy against its integrity, is no longer a matter of surmise and vague con jeoture. \lt has become to every patriot mind a Eolnt of most absolute and painful conviction. ate developments have removed every doubt, and confirmed the worst fears upon tbe subject. The question to be deoidod by the people of the United States, next Tuesday, is not so muoh Whether the National Government shall be admi nistered according to this or that principle of con stitutional interpretation, or upon this or that system of administrative policy, as whether it shall exist as a government at all; whether the United States shall continue to be a nation, and the American name still be honored, respected,- and loved among the nations of the earth. • In tho is sue are involved tbe honor, safety, happiness, and liberty of twenty-five millions ot freemen. Upon its deoision hangs productive and financial pros perity or universal bankruptcy and ruin; peace or war, and war in its most repulsive and app lliug form, oivil, servile, and fr&trioidal. We tell you the enemies of the Union are at work, seeking with secret but desperate energy to destroy it. Shall its friends strive with less deter mined faith or resolute and unwearying effort to preserve it ? While Dlsunionlsts* and traitors are putting forth the most constant and active efforts to accomplish their infamous purposes, shall pa triots he leas zealous and vigilant to cherish and proteot all that is precious to them as individuals, and saored to them as free citizens of a great Republic ? Shall we be idle, careless, ana coward ly, when'the foes of our country are bold, reok lese, and defiant, pressing on to its destruction with impious purpose and impatient haste? No! never ! never! To give, or even for a moment contemplate a different answer, were treason in itself. It would be to insult our virtue as patriots, and oast a slur upon our honor as raon/’ Senator John J. Crittenden, Governor Wicklipfe, Hon. John C. Mason, Hon. John Young Brown, and many other men of equal position and influence, are traversing the State, speaking in favor of the Union and the Constitution. YYe think both Kentucky and Missouri may certainly be set down against the Disunionists. In Mr. Yancey’s own State of Alabama great apprehensions are expressed by the Breckinridgers lest the combined forces of Bell and Douglas may sweep the State. Mr. Senator Brown, of Mississippi, lately returned from a tour through Louisiana, and gives it as his opi nion, that that State will go for Breckin ridge by about three thousand majority— which is a considerable reduction from Mr. Slidell's extravagant prediction. To show tho temper that animates the Union men of Georgia, we take the following extract from Col. Gardner's paper—the Augusta (Ga.) Constitutionalist, Of the 31st ult.: “If you love a Democrat of the Jackson school, vote for Douglas, “If you don’t think a man false to the South who tells treason what. Jaek<um told it, vote for Douglas “ If you like a man who hates Abolitionism, and can make the samo speeches North and South, vote for Douglas. “If you like a man who Is not a dumb candi date, and can answer plainly any question of na tional politics,vote for Douglas. “ Stand by the stan while yet they float, and if God should sustain your endeavors, and deem you. -SttflLriqzit_Jn_ gave win URy from nrc fnen wnnnue ohildren bless you for caving this heritage which was bought by blood, ana willed to them by dying heroes. “At all events do your duty, and should the Union fall, no haunting memories will ask you Why. Nor will you feat to eater that infinite homo of man's last aspirations, ‘ Where on those high eternal plains, - Hope’s radiant tepta are spread, While «Jory keeps eternal watch M O’er the bivouao of the dead.’ u For you can face Jackson and cay: ‘ I voted for the friend yon loved!’ can lookWasblogton in his spirit eyes and say: ‘ I-voted for tbe last great party not founded on geographical divisions. *” la" Virginia the Union loeling grows stronger with every hour. Ab an evidenco of the intense indignation excited by the efforts of the Secede ts, we copy the following letter from one of tho ablest jurists ortho State, Eon. R. 11. Field, who does not hesi tate, even from the bench, to sound the alarm, and to denounce the machinations of these enemies of the country. It is addressed to the editor of tho Charlottesville (Va.) Ob server : “CHABLOTTESVILLX, Oofc. 10, 1860. “ To the Editor of the Observer: “ Dear Sir : You have seen that tho Biobmond Enquirer has taken ground in favor of a dissolu tion of the Union, by advising the South to strike a blow at once, and saying that Virginia will go with them. Is it not melancholy to think that any man or set of men should be so ignorant cf tho sense of the people of Virginia on this important subject as the editors of the Enquirer are, if they believe what they say, which I don’t doubt. If 'Eastern Virginia were to , take that ground, tho whole western part of the State, to a man, would be leaving he. But in truth nine-tenths of Eastern Virginia ate opposed to it. Vet the utterance of such sentiments in a respectable paper is oalou lated to enoourage the fire eaters of-South Caro lina and Alabama to treason and rebellion, bring on a oivil war, and drench a portion of our happy land with the blood of our brothers. - , “ These Southern Disunionlsts want a Southern Confederacy, mainly to open the slave trade and thereby become /-enabled to purchase African slaves at one hundred and fifty dollars to cultivate their cotton lands- The price of negroes here will fall at least one hundred per cent., from the serious apprehension of such a result. The pride of land will corn© down in the dame proportion, and all persons who are much In debt will be broken up entirely and ruined. If their debts amount U one-half of what their property {a now worth, and would sell for, then niter rain would be inevitable. “ Meetings should be held all over the State, and public sentiment should be proclaimed, and these open-mouthed Dieonlomsta should he silenced. Their cannon should be spiked at onee." - “ I hope, also, they will form and proolaim a determined purpose. in the election of 1864, to lay aside all party predilections and prejudices and ,unite in eleoting a President whose opinions of publio policy will be in unison with our wishes and interests. “in deeds of patriotism Culpeper has always l*oii in the first rank, and 1 should be pleased to see tbeWbfgs and Democrats unite in oalllng a meeting of the people forthwith, to declare that they, axe opposed to the dissolution of the Union, and tho formation pf a {Southern Confederacy, and tbat tboir determination is to abide, the Adminis tration of Lincoln, or any other man who may be fairly and constitutionally elected President of the United States, go long as he supports the Constitu tion of the United States, executes, in good faith, the laws of the Union, and refrains from a 'oourso of measures calculated to violate eur rights and destroy the value of our property, which we know cannot be.done if the Constitution and the laws, as they now aro, are supported by the President of the United States ana his party. __ “ With great reipwst, jo'or«,' B. H. Bulb.” "We could multiply these evidences of pa triotism in the South through columns, hut the above, will suffice to show that the Union firesare lighted, that the old Jacksos memo ries are revived, and that men of all parties are coming together, and will soon constitute a noble brotherhood, sworn to live or die by the Confederacy, as our fathers created it j and resolved to punish every traitor that dares to raise his hand against it. BP* The characteristic outcry is raised by the Breckinridge Disunionists against the editor of & Democratic paper in Minnesota— the Sfc. Paul Pioneer—because he expressed an'opinion in favor of the election of Lincoln. He stated that it was better ho should bo elected than that the contest should go into Congress. Is it not a piece of superb imper tinence and presumption on the part of these Disunionists to denounce anybody for express ing an opinion ,in favor of Mr. Lincoln, when they themselves, with a fatal want oi logic, swear they will secede if ho is elected, and absolutely have done as much to produce that result as Mr. Lincoln’s own friends 7 Linas Sals of French Goods, &c.— The at tention of parohaeers is wrested to the large end valuable assortment of Pronob, Gorman,'Swiss, and British dry goods, embracing about <{ 600 lots of choice .fancy staple articles,” in silk, worsted, woollens, and cottons, to bo peremptorily sold by catalogue, on six months’ credit, ’eommenolng this morning, at ton o'clock, to bo continued the larger portion of the day, without intermission, by Myorr, Claghorn, & 00, auctioneers, No. 413 i and 415 Arch Btrect. New York Politicians. . Nowhere in the tree States has the Dis union party surrounded itsell with such influ ence as in the city of New York, and no where, except in tho South, are tho doctrines of the extreme pro-slavery leaders so ardently supported. The idea seems to have taken possession of the public mind that that groat metropolis depends entirely for its commercial support upon the most abject submission to the demands of the Southern fire-eaters. Principle is lost sight of, and every hew ex action, whether it comes irom Mr. Yandex, Mr. Rhett, Mr. Wise, or Mr. Slidell, is at once responded to. Tho loader/) seem to ig nore tho prDsenco of a great Union party in the South, and to proceed upon the theory that every intorest, whether of manhood or of mo rality, must bo subordinate to the clamor that now controls the South, or else they will lose the Southern trade. We regret to say that, up to this time, no ho nest Democratic voice has been raised against this infatuation. Men who can afford to speak the truth are silent, and others allow themselves to be misled by distorted notions of the Con stitution, and glory in the proclamation of idealisms which would bo laughed at in South Carolina itself.' We are not, therefore, sur prised that Mr. Chables O’Conob —who some months ago delivered an elaborate lecture upon the Diviuity of Slavery, «nd so tar ex alted tho peculiar institution as to leave his hearers in doubt whether tho white men, for their own comiort, ought not to bo in chains themselves—should now como forward and en lighten his country with another argument, in which ho shows that secessionfrom the Union, on tho part of tho Southern States, is not only legal, but practical; not only right, hut feasible. Mr. O’Conob is a monomaniac. Living in a community controlled more by interest than by conscience, his mind seems to have gone astray, and his lawyer brain to have ossified the patriotism of his heart. He is so accustomed to bullying judges, that ho thinks he can bully the country. Flattered because he has been enabled to exact unjußt verdicts from pliant and uninquiring juries, ho thinks that hiß no vel theory in favor of a secession will at once he acquiesced in, and that, in a short time, all tho people of Now York will, lor their own sakes, agree to a separation irom tho South— provided, always, the South will continue to trade with New York. The other orator, on the same side, is, Mr, Samuel J.Tilden. With true Now York emu lation, he smells trado and traffic in the breeze, and surrenders conscience to commerce. Til den was aFree-Soiier of the worst Van Buben stripe. Wo remember him in 1848, at Balti more, when, with the Hon. Peeston Kino, he refused to recognize the nomination of Gen. Cass as the Democratic candidate for Presi dent—mainly becauso tho Democratic plat form did not go far enough against Blavery. Tilden secoded afterwards, and became an in surrectionist, against the Democratic nomi nees, and aided to elect a slaveholder to the Presidency. He is, therefore, a secessionist by his record, and by consequence in iavor of Beeckinbidqe. And it is a pregnant commen tary upon tho sincerity ol his present demon stration that he should he in favor of tne ex treme pro-slavery platform to-day, when he knows that that platform is founded upon un forgiving hostility to Stephen A. Douglas, who represents the great national idea. Snch are the arguments that New York ad vances to flatter tho South and to win for her self the trade of that section. In order to promote her interests She is willing to encon rago tho enemies of the Union. Her party leaders offer every possible inducement to the adversaries of the Republic in the slave States. Her lawyers join tho Secessionists, and while one announces that slavery is a Divine insti tution, tho othor declares that it would be bettor for tho South to separate from the North. When a great metropolis must de pend upon such influences in order to promote its commerce, it will require no “ Daniel come to judgment” to estimate tho duration of its prosperity. A Brief Glance at the Past. When the house is.burning it is folly to look for the incendiary. Tho first duty should be to extinguish the flames. At a moment when all our best energies are required to save the Union from the tempest that raves around it, we should not bo diverted by insane disputes dyui -aiv-wMuKKiiYvcei— —-ig—usue lnsuoorainnthm-„<-u«j-«njvror the* great Ship. of State. But the conduct or the men who carry the flag oi Bbecbinbidoe, and keep step to the discord oi disunion, deserves a passing notice.. Their brutalities upon the friend* of Judge Douglas have surpassed ail that has appeared in political annals, and seem to in crease in violonce as tho election day ap proaches. . » To read the Disunion papers, one would suppose tho friends of Bbecbinbidoe to be anointed saints; martyrs who hodbponper secuted j men doprived of their rights; in fact, tho incarnation of integrity, purity, and consist ency. One would supposo that Judge Douglas was running as an irregular candidate j that it was his friends who seceded at Charleston, and erected a piratical banner at Baltimore; that it was ho who dared to force the Lecomp ton Constitution upon tho people of Kausas, who proscribed independent men, and he only who looks iorward to the overthrow of the Re public. That a party thus officered and advo cated should havo any supporters is a poor compliment to tho boasted intelligence of our peoplo, and that it should havo boen enabled to conquer in most of the States of this Union tho Democratic organization, and to lavish tbotreasuro and wield tho power of tho Gene ral Government in furtherance of its designs, proves that our politics have become more corrupt than even exaggerated imagination had painted thorn, and that, thousands aro wil ling to sacriiico their manhood and integrity lor a pecuniary consideration. In this State, most of tho Democratic papers have boen con quered by the enemies of tho Union, and are conducted, with raro exceptions, by men who depend for their support upon a corrupt Ad ministration, who present no arguments in favor of the recognized principles of tho party, but. All tho public mind with calumnieß of Mr. Douolas and his friends, or with prophe cies oi the coming overthrow of the Republic. The effect ot these clamors is seen in the con stant doieat of tho Democracy, in dally acces sions to tho Republicans, and in a gradual loss oi confidence among the peoplo at large in the perpetuity of our institutions. Wo know but ono parallel to this picture, and that is the indignation of tho discarded King of Naples, because Gabibaldi and his volunteers have triumphed in the late Italian campaigns. Our Bonfbalinos havo lost so much that they forget their crimes in their misfortunes; and in be wailing the disasters which they have made all ovor the country, they are iools onough to think that it was tho men they have perse cuted and punished who are guilty, and not themselves. Washington and tlio American Union. Our correspondent “ Occasional” refers to the oxaraple of 1v asiiinoton, and draws a forci ble contrast between the English Wellington and the American Winfield Scott. If it is true that & great calamity ia impending, and that we are on the eve of grave intornal troublo, there will ho a universal prayor that the spirit of Washington may guide and tranquilizo our fel low-countrymen, and that it may inspire the President of the United States, and the illustri ous captain who will probably again be called into active service. The following lines, slightly altered from Tennyson’s great ode on Wel lington, may not be inapplicable to the pre sent condition of tho public mind apd to tho grateful recollections of Washington : " A people's voice, we are a people yet, Tiio* all men else their nobler dreams forget, Confused by brainless mobs and lawless Powers; Thank him who isled us here, and roughly sot This Saxon in blown seas and stormy showers. We have a voice with which to pay the debt Or boundless love and reverence, and regret, To those great men who fought, and kept it ours. And keep it ours, 0 God, from brute control, Oh Statesmen, guard us, maid tho eye, the soul, Of Onion, keep our noble country whole, And save the one true seed of freedom sown .Betwixt a poople and their ancient throne. For saving that, ye help to save mankind , Till public wrong be crumbled into duHt, And drill the rank world for the march of mind. Till crowds at length be sane and orowns be just. But wink no more in slothful overtruat, Remember him who Udvottr hosts, tie bade you guard the sacred coasts! Your cannons moulder on the seaward wall; HU voice is silent in your council hall; lie spoke among you, and the man who spoke. Who never sold the truth to serve the hour, Nor palter’d with .Eternal Ood/or power; ' WA© let the turbid streams of rumor flow Thro * either babbling world of high and low; Whose life was work, whose language rife With rugged masms hetun/rowi life; Whomever spoke against a foe; Whoso many winters freeze with one rebuke All great self-seekers trampling on tho right : Whatever record leap to light, He never shall bo shamed.” THE PRESS.—PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1860. The Board of- Trade Excursion. Alter an absence of three weeks, the excur sion party of tho Board of Trade of Phils- 1 dolphia returned on Saturday evening to : thoir homes, One of the objects of this tour through the “ West ” was to become ac quainted with the. resources, the trade, and tho merchants of that section, and this, to a very great extent, has been accomplished. At every point visited, the rooms of the “Board of Trade,” in which are found re cords of business, statistics of trade, &c.,and where all the merchants are accustomed to congregate, were thrown open to the Phila delphians. That they used the means thus offered, a glance at the names of the delega tion .trill satisfy the most skeptical. Tho .importance ot the Boards of Trade oi the West can scarcely he over-estimated. They tend to stimulate business, to. produce good feeling among commercial men, and create that union of action by which alone great re sults can be accomplished. The excursion party visited most of the important cities of the West, and at every point much cordiality was manifested, and everything that could have been desired was done to refidcr their trip pleasant and profitable. At Cleveland, where their sojourn was but for one day, the Board of Trade of that place welcomed tho Philadelphians to their rooms, and with great politeness showed them their beautiful city. At Chicago, the Board of Trado entertained them at the Tremont House with a sumptuous supper, at which many congratulatory speeches were made. Milwaukee, though not upon tho programme, was visited, and here tho same oordial feeling was manifested. Her stores, her public buildings, and hor Chambor of Com -fherce were visited. Hor merchants gavo the excursionists a most hearty welcome, whicji will long bo remembered as one of the-most gratifying of tho tour. The merchants of St. Joseph also gave the visitors a handsome en tertainment. At St. Louis, the Philadel phians wore invited to a public banquet, but owing to tho shortness of the sojourn, the in vitation was necessarily declined, very much to the regret of the merchants of St. Louis, as well as of the excursionists. The party spent an evening there, at Mr. Huoh Camp bell’s formerly a Philadelphia merchant, who gave them au exceedingly handsome enter tainment. At Louisville, the excursionists were waited upon by a committee of mer chants, who, through their chairman, Mr. Cassadt, invited them to a dinner, but Mr. Stokes, on tho part ot tho Philadelphians, in a brief but very appropriate speech, thanked the merchants of Louisville for this reception and this manifestation of good will, but regretted that it would bo impossible to accept the invitation. Mr. Gaevin, a mer chant prince, invited them is the evoning to his house, where tho proverbial hospitality of Kentucky was handsomely illustrated. The Lexington merchants, hearing tho ex cursionists would remain but two hours in their city, prepared a fine dinner for them and wel comed them very cordially. Ashland was also visited by the party. Again at Cincinnati, a banquet was given, where speeches, toasts, &c., were the order of the day. Cincinnati, though last visited, was not therefore least appreciated. As the “ Queen City of tho West,” she received the Philadelphians in a manner befittiiig her cha racter and position. Thus, at every point the excursionists were received in an exceed ingly agreeable manner. When near Philadelphia an. informal meet, ing was held in the cars, and Mr. Stokes se lected as chairman. Mr. Newun, being called upon for a speech, congratulated the party upon their return to their homes. Ho refer red briefly to tho success of the trip, and to the many pleasures of the excursion. Mr. Hallowell, being called upon, followed by saying that he was rejoiced to think that no accident had occurred to mar the pleasures of the trip. He spoke of the happy unanimity that prevailed, and concluded by saying that he should look back with pleasure upon the past three weeks. Mr. Peiob was then called upon, and said that tho trip had been an agree able one to him, and that he had no doubt ad vantages jrould flow from it. Ho congratu. lated them upon the happy termination of this long jaunt. A few appropriate remarks were also made by Messrs. Biddle, Lipfiscott, Kellt, and others. There is evidently a kind ancLgenorousfeol- A -- " Jn nH tho great Commonwealths lying wesrjnortnwcer, and andltia to 1 1 -’ regretted that it has not been more extensively cultivated heretofore. Our beautiful , city pos sesses many peculiar and important advantages, but she hO3 been less active in trumpeting them to the world, in proclaiming her capacities, in soliciting .trade, and in seeking new bosiness connections, than any other leading emporium of America. She has rather “hid hor light under a bushel,” than sought to dazzle other communities with any falso glare. The most important facts in regard to tho extent of her manufactures, her railroad connections, her fa cilities for trade, her progress and population, aro oiten heard with astonishment by business men of othor Btates (or even of our own), who should have boon perfectly familiar with them. Let us hope that the exclusion will not only prove fruitful of important results in itself, but that it will also stimulate onr citi zens to repeated and unremitting efforts to attract hither a large class of merchants whoso interests could undoubtedly be promoted by making in Philadelphia tho largo purchases which, from moro force of habit, or from lack of proper efforts on onr part, or Horn tho superior activity ol the agents oi other cities, are now mado elsewhere.

Editor : Oar attention has been oalled to a report of the proceedings of an Abolition Conven tion held, in this place on Thursday and Eridaj last; also to a card, signed by Robert Purvis, de nying the truthfulness of the same. And wo feel it to be but simple justice to your reporter to state that his Bocount ot the speech made by the said Purvis was true and faithful, so far as it went, but we regard it as rather under than over the mark. The vituperative epithets applied to Washington; the oh&rgas brought against Jefferson and other founders of onr Sepublie; the abusive slang in dulged in towards Mr. Greeley, snoh as calling him’ “ the shackling Albino Greeley,” &0., was even more rancorous and insulting than the report of his impotent venom which eppeared in The Press.

We continue to receive Indignant protests from tho best Democrats, against tho Reading fusion electoral ticket. The Secessionists have no doubt resolved to strike every Douglas man on the ticket. Richard Vaux' will 6e the target for their poisoned arrows . In proof of this, road the following extract from the last number of tho Perry Democrat —pub- lished at New Bloomfield, Perry county, Pa.— a journal of tho old orthodox Democratic School: “Tho Breokinridgers in this borough havo not tho remotest idea of voting for a tingle Douglas man on tho Reading eleotoral ticket. They bo do dared on tho morning after tho lato oleolion. They have thrown off all disguise. They no longer profess a desire for union and harmony. Their purpose has boon accomplished. They glory in their own treaohory, rejoice in the prospeot of Dooglaß’ defeat, denounce and vilify him, and yet have the impudence to demand the votes of bis friends for the Breckiuridgo electors on the Read ing ticket.” In furtherance of this purpose, we under stand that an electoral ticket has.been printed at tho office of the Reading (Berks county) Gazette , conducted by J. Lawrence Getz, •which contains the names of ten Breckin- Tidgers, with George M. Keisi at the head 5 and sevontecn Bellites. The Diaunionists in that and other quarters have also published a Lincoln ticket with Keiii at the head, and also a Bell and Everett ticket with tho name of that recent Know-Nothing leader leading off. In proof of this assertion, read tho following from the Berks and Schuylkill Journal of Sa turday last: “Wo wero shown, yesterday, a Lincoln and ; Hamlin oiootoral liokot, with tho names of Geo ]\L Keim (who heads the Brookiimdgo fusion ticket) pasted over the namo of Jamos Pollock. Wo aro further informed, on reliable authority, that a numkor of Lincoln men have been approached by ICeim, and solicited to vote him and scratch any name on tho Lincoln ticket thoy see proper Koim, it appears, isvory anxious to run atioaaof Richard Vaux, who heads tho ‘straight’ Douglas ticket, and goes about to our frionds telling them that Lincoln will carry Pennsylvania by a largo minority any how, and that to scratch only one of tho Lincoln oleotors and vote for hint, will make no difforanoo “ Wo Lopo oifr Linooln friends will glvo Keim no aid whatever in this dirty business It is bad euough for him to cheat bis own political allies, as he is doing, by scratching the naiao of Vaux offthe fusion ticket, whfoh be is tryfng to have voted in that way by all tho Breokinric go men whom ho can influence. .Keim is about tho last man in tho State to ssk Republicans for favors, for no ono has been more foul-mouthed than he against them. ‘*P.

Keim is disposed to do a heavy business in the fu sion but wo hardly think it will amount to much.” Does not all this wretched business prove to the true Democracy of Pennsylvania that they have fallen into tho hands of a set of trick sters acd mercenaries ? WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCf Letter from “ Occasional.’* fCorrcspondonoe of The Press.] Washington, November 4, 1800. Tho Secessionists and Disunionlsts of the South place peculiar emphasis upon tho 1 idea that when a State shall resolve to leave tho Union thoro is DO power in tho Federal Government to compel hor to roturn, and that if thoro were, any attempt to employ foroo against suoh an offending Com monwealth would bo resisted, not alone by her solf, but by all tkoso belonging to her own section. I am willing to giro to this theory all tho influ ence to which it is entitled. I know the strength of the arguments that con bo made in support of it. Rut if wo recur to tho history of tho Farco Bill wo shall find that, severe as tho remedy was then regarded, it was adopted, and would un questionably have been applied had not tho disa greement boon adjusted. It Ib true, Genor&i Jackson was then President of tho Untied States. Weighing all tho oiroumstanoos invotved in the present impending trouble between tho North and the South, is it not imperative on tho part of the Executive to see that the laws are enforced? The experiment may bo a severe, and probably a fatal one, but if tho doctrino Is onco admitted that tho secession of a single State oan bo toleratod with impunity, will it not bo offering a premium for revolt, and thus dislocate tho wholo machinery of republican government? Tfaooasoof South Caro lina to-day may become tho cose of Massachusetts to-morrow. Wbenovor tho laws have been resist ed those engaged in the act have boon j unished. The whißky insurrection in Pennsylvania, un der the Administration of General Washington, oalled into existence nil the supposed latent pow ers of tho Central Government and craahod the head of a formidable rebellion. Foroo has been repeatedly employed to compel tho execution of the fugitivo-slave law, and blood has boon shed oa both sides. Whon the Know Nothings of this oity imitated tho examples of tho Baltimore) ruf fians, and arrayed theuisolves against the elective i.u, _M- -.—»»».«, ««i«r -vw tne rna -riaoa-flnd by an net ofLprompt energy, n£t only vindicated iko'majesty of tho iaw,~Dut T)tisKo rip that corrupt and eeorot organization. Mr. Bu obanan, it is true, is neither Jackson nor Washing ton. Those iilaatrious chieftains wore ready to plaoo themselves at tho head of tho American armies to quell insurrection and to foroo obedience to tho law's, oven at tho point of tho hayonot. Mr. Buehanan ia a civilian, but ho has at his right hand that great captain, V infield Scott, who, in addition to his rare military goniqs and a history orowdod with trophies of war and successful efforts in defbneo of the ling of his aountry, is a nntional man. Tho wholo political gospel of General Fcott is tho American Union. He never addresses a publio meeting without offering up a prayer for the preservation of tho Union. He laughs at the dis putes of party doctrinaires, and in all his move ments takes in hia wholo country, refusing to ro. oognizo eootiona or to tolernto mere partisan leadership Liko Gon. Fierce, in 1852, ho ran as a candidate for President upon the peaceful basis of tho Compxomiso measures. In tho present emergency, Scott may become as necessary to the perpetuity of free institutions on these shores as Wellington was to the peace and safety of Eng* land during his long and honorable life. Lot Mr. Buchanan—-should tho insurrection now reach ing a bead in tho South as3utuo tho proportions of armed resistance to tho laws of tho Untied States —Bond Winfield Scott into tho South, and instiuot him to raise tho Union banner. Ed need not go to make war upon his fellow-countrymen unless as a last resort. General Bcott is a negotiator as well S 3 a warrior. Ho has mado troatlo3 and conquored provinces, and, with his strong hold upon tho affec tions of tho people, ho might tjo appeal to tho hearts of our Southern brethren as to induoo them to pause in their onward career. Should all por suasion fail, then lot him call to the standard of the ontire Union tho patriotic spirits of tho South Let him encourage thorn In their organizations for the Union, and it -may happen that, without striking u blow, good mon will soon he mado strong enough to vanquish tho Secessionists, and to pre serve the Republic unbrokeu in all its mojesty. Is it not significant that tho Vico President has, up to this timo, refused to answer tho Norfolk questions? Does not his silence indicate that ho will bo with tho Scccders in their rapidly prepar ing demonstration to break up the Union in the event of Lincoln’s oleolion ? It "would bo impossible to give you a fair idea of tho bitterness existing against Jo Luno, on the pari of tho Demooraoy of Oregon. A gontleman from Oregon, now in this oily, informs me that Lane has loot nearly all his friends, and that nothing is more certain than that his influ en<jo is gono in the PaciQo States. It is into* resting to coo how closely the arguments of the democrats in Oregon and California resemblo those originated ia The Tress. Many of the mon who havo been traducing you are now unreservedly upon tho platform you laid down, and justify their suppoit ot Douglas and their hostility- to Breckin ridge, upon your suggestion, on the ground that the one represents true principles and the othor mere proscriptions. ,T|)o Southern tour of Judgo Dougins will closo to-dny, when ho will mako his last.speech ot Mobile. Up to thi3 writing I havo not heard that ho ha 9 been insulted or ioterrnpted Mr. Senator Toombs, who is a little opt to speak hastily and in passion, mado a throat that Judgo Dougina should not speak at ope of the Georgia towns, but I bo- liftvo it was not fulfilled. Prom tho momont tho gsllant SoDaior from Illinois entered the Southern Slater, bo has boon accompanied by his acoom lllabcd wife. Ilor presence doubtlers prevented his enemios from reporting to violence. Her ex quisite beauty ami sweet manners, added to her known fearless devotion to her husband, oammud ed him, ns it were, with a shield, and did moio, probably, to soften tho asperities of bifl opponents than nil his own arguments. Do will bo tho guest o? John Forsyth, tbo able editor of the Mobile Register , and hia friends expect that what ho shall say to-day will constitute the platform upon which igroat national party will bo founded; for, depond upon it, wbother Douglas lives or not, bis prin ciples will bo tho rock upon wbioh ourconfedcratcd Btatos will stand, (if thoy can stand at ull), and that, from Tuesday next, every conservative man, lo matter what bis presont party or his present opinions may bo, will seek that rock as tho only place left for refugo and repoeo. Hon, John J. OriUcndou, of Kentucky, spoke nt St. Louis eu tho evening of tho 29th October, find indulged in tho most eaddoniug speculations as to the effect of the eleoHon c*f Lincoln. Bo said “ thero never was snob a financial nnd pecu niary crisis in this ocuntry os that would bring.” I regret to see such language from such a sonroe The trnooourso for all patrloiio man to puisuo should be to mollify, instead of icoreafiing, financial fears. One of tho most scandalous exhibitions is tho at tempt of somo of the Now York papers to attribute the failaro ot the banking house of Joslnh Leo «fc Co., of Baltimoro, to political reasons, when the facta are precisely the .reverse. Politics had no moro to do with it than with the late rains. Tho members of the firm speculated largely in doubtful securities, copper aud Tuilroad stocks—-using their high reputation, and tho money of their depositor, In the vain hope of realizing largo profits. Out of this b&nkruptoy new panics are sought to bo pro duced—-so that others, # in other cities, may bo ru ined. The failuro of Lee & Go. has somewhat disturbed onr Washington institutions, bat only to tho extent of making them more cautions. There never has been muoh liberality on the part of out banks to local traders, and there will be much less for some sixty days to come. Ex cepting New York, no part of tho Union is more affected by tho political Onesandras of the day than Washington olty. So many people here depend upon office, and patronage, and jobs, that tho slightest vibration in tho political barometor is felt in almost every oirole. The prevailing dull ness of the late summer and autumn, growing out of the absence of Congress, seriously interfered with trade in this oity, and wbon to this is super added the various predictions as to the downfall of the Union, .and tho overthrow of old fiuanoial Institutions, 1 need not tell you that ours is by no means a very animated or joyous com munity. In a few weeks, however, all this will be changed. Wo shall have exoitement enough, whether Linooln is eleoted or not. If he should triumph, tho two houses will moot under peculiar auspices. Patience and patriotism will both bo demanded at the hands of tho good moo North and South. The ono side fluehod with victory, the other fired with on exaggerated idea of their injuries, may unito in producing tho sad dest scones. Uofortunatoiv, thcro is no ffonry Clay or Daniel Wobater to stem the torrent; but let us hope that tho fow moderate men like John J. Crittenden, of Kentuoky, and James Alfred Pearco, of Mary land, will soon be supported by others, and that an early effort will bo mode to creato snob a state of feeling as will enablo the Union to move along in its grand career. Bhouli Lincoln be defeated and the election go to tho Iteuso, alt these pa triotio influences will be demanded. In that event both houses will bo eonvulsod under a now and an appalling oxoiiemont. It is beyond doubt that wo are in tho vestibule of transactions that may en tirely change tho destiny of our country, and, per haps, rend it into fragments. How careful, then, Bhould every journalist be not to add to the pre vailing disoord ! Every word he writes should be weighed well before he prints it. Above all, let the independent men who sit at the helm of tho groat institution of American journalism avoid, as they would shun a pestilonce, the baloFul ox ample of the Satanio intellect that controls the Now York Herald, which labors to crush out tho spirit and the commerce of tho country. There is no doubt that much uncertainty pre vails in this community in roforence to the future, and that gold is being hoarded by many who think there is dangei ahoad. The banks have been qulotly called upon by depositors for gold, one of those institutions, in one day, paying out over $BO,OOO. I saw one gentleman draw $5,000 in gold, and asked him what he proposed doing with it. He ropliod he intended to bury it in the oentro of bis farm, in Maryland, until the future was disclosed, so that, whatever might occur, ho would have something to go upon for a year or two at least. Perhaps there is Eomo wisdom in this. Should dis union happen, there wii! bo many sad hearts about Washington, where, more than any other place in the country, everything depends upon the stability of tho-presont Confederacy. Another of the investments of tho Administra tion has turned out badly. You will recollect, af ter the death rf the illustrious Benton, more than two years ago, a statement was made public, though stoutly denied by many of his most intimato friends, to tho effeot that, before bis death, Colonel Benton approved the policy of Mr. Buchanan in regard to Kansas. This statement, which has lat terly been imitated by the Administration, and most disastrously too, in attempting to show thut Judgo Douglas, (by moans of words put into the mouths of doad witnesses,) favored the Lecompton Constitution, was sustained by a volunteer witness called William Carey Jones—a son-in-law of Colo nel Benton. He testified that the old patriot had ex pressed such opinions, and as the endorsement of Benton,was necessary to make that which was clear ly wrong seem right in tho eyes of the peoplo, Mr. Jones 4 testimony made him a hero at the White Houbo. Ho was accordingly duly honored and Bent to Central America on a certain confidential mission, the duties of whioh he discharged after a fashion. He has latterly turned up in California, from whioh point he is paying off the Administra tion by attacking Judge Black, the Attorney-Ge neral, in.the most uncompromising manner, charg ing him with certain misdemeanors of a grave oharaotor, impugning bis motives, and doing vari ous acts whioh prove that Mr. Jones has not quite as vivid a recollection of the kindness of the Ad ministration as tho latter had of his generous cer tificate in regard to Col. Benton Occasional. Letter from “Kappa*” [Correspondence of Tho rma.l Washington, November 3,1860. “The Southern States will vote os a unit, on Tuesday next, for Breckinridge and Lane.

Thofqudor the irrepresaiblo conflict has fairly aot in, in Virginia. There are now two great par ties, ono under Governor Wise, Mason, Hunter and Pryor, for Disunion; the other one, for Union, under tho b&adoiship of Govornor Letcher, assisted by Messrs. Million, Rives, the Douglas and Union men. Governor Wise, entirely led by bis virulent and boisterous son, one of the editors-of the Rich mond Enquirer, i 3 striving to out-do Don Quixote by his inflammatory and imaginary harangues* His last manifesto in Princess Annocounfy; his oalling upon tho citizens of tho old Commonwealth to form u Minute-Men 11 companies—-a sort of “regulators”—has justly oroated apprehensions in the minds of bis follow Virginians as to his sano mental abilities. lie either does not know what he does and says, or he is engaged in a work of high treason,wbioh, taking in consideration hia ina. bility of doing any serious mischief with his fienso less harangues, must necessarily end in ridicule and disappointment. Tho Governor entirely overesti mates his power in his own State. Ho was popular as long as ho was right. But let him usurp a pro Togative he does not possess; lot him try tfi coerce tbo people of Virginia, by his Regulators and “Reign of Terror,” into disunion, and he will find how littlo power a men enjoys who intend s to lift his ruthless hand against tbo Constitution and the laws of tho v YV'e sincerely hopo that Governor Wise, who has, by his past cervices, de sorved tho esteem of his fellow-citizens, will sot per mit himself to be usod as a tool of the God forsaken Disunion ollquo. Lothim stop rdadrog the Enquirer and the Charleston Mercury , and study occa sionally the Constitution of the Unitod States, That will not only prevent him from mining him self, and porhnps somo of hiß friends, but it will also tend to convince him that thore are sufficient remodios for his imaginary or real wrongs in the Constitution and tho laws of this country, if wo only want to obey them. Instead of listening to the puerile disunion ideas of his son, let him either send the unruly and inexperienced young naan to Jerusalem or Jericho until his beard ia fully grown. Tho people of Virginia, so much tho Governor ought to know now, have vory littlo in clination to go out of tho Union. Tho Seoretaty of War has accepted tho resigna tion of Captain Bonham, on tho grounds of press ing public business nt Sandy Hook, which will require tho whole of his attention at that place. Captain Bonham will .eontinue to discharge the dutioa of his late ofiloo until a successor is ap pointed. Tho contracts for furnishing and putting up tho interior iron fonoesfur the approaches of tho Trea- Bur/estQDBion havo boon awarded to W. T. Duvall, of Georgetown, D. C., he being the lowest bidder. Tho contract for the extension gates nnd fences has boon awarded to Messrs. Hayward, Bartlett, & Co , Baltimoro, M'd., who were the' lowest bidders. Tho rumor that Howell Cobb, Peorotnrv of the Troasury, is going to resign his offico, or will be re moved by tbo President, is entirely without foun dation. Mr. Buchanan, though a Northorn man by birth, is a fiecodor in feeling. It was ho who counselled secession! It was, and it is his iotontion now, to break up tho Domooratio party, and what does ho oaro about tbo Union? 'What should in dnoe him to save it from its enemies, especially if these eDemies oro his particular friends? His message will bo as dubious as bis life has been. He will regrot tho oleotion of Lincoln, and dcolnreit to bo a oalamity; but ho will say nothing direct ugaicst the Segcders, though ho may talk ambigu ously of tho value of Ihe Union. If the Union is dissolved, it will bo done by his agency ; for ho is tho destroyer of the Domooratio party—that party that bo long has kopt this Confederation together.
