The Two Admirals.
In her present dearth of pout men, England
could ill afford to lose two such naval heroes
as Lord Dundonald and Sir Charles Napier-
Dundonald was more than a great man, in
tho ordinary acceptation of the term ; ho de
served rather to be called the Last of tho Vi-
Eings, and, indeed, his family claimed descent
from 'one of these adventurous sea-rovers.
Napier sprung from a race which has won
distinction by the pon as well as the sword j
was a man of less heroic cast; but still did
great things in bis day.
Thomas Coohbank, tenth Earl of Dundonald,
Baron Coohbank, oi Dundonald, and Lord
Cochrane, of Paisley and Ochiltree, was
born eighty-ffve years since, and entered the
British navy sixty-seven years ago. Until his
'father’s death, in 1831, he bore the courtesy
title of Lord vOoohbahb, and by that name
will live in the naval-annals of England, South
America, and Greece. He employed his later
years in writing an Autobiography, the second
volume of which appeared on the day of his
death. Romance could scarcely have imagined
adventures more wild and wonderful in their
gallantry and success than those of Lord
Cochrane. Remarkable as they are, History
attests, to the fullest, that they are true.
Yonng Coohbank entered the British navy
at the age. of eighteen, and from the very
first, was distinguished by extraordinary daring
and dashing intrepidity displayed during the
English war with France. Ho never heeded
disparity of force, and distinguished himself
*by cutting rich prizes out of harbors where
they were protected by land fortresses. For
the capture of a frigate off Barcelona, his own
force being much inferior, he was made post
captain at tho age of twenty-six. Alter Nel
son’s death, in 1805, Coohbank (Alison says)
« was the greatest commander in that age of
glory." He adds: “ The skill and indefatiga
ble perseverance with ' which, during tho
Spanish war, whdft in command of his own
frigate, Coohbank alarmed and distracted the
whole coast from Toulon to Barcelona, bas
never been surpassed; with tho crew of a
frigate, which did net exceed three hundred
and fifty men, he kept ten thousand of the
enemy constantly occupied.” His blockade
and defeat of the French fleet, in the Bosque
Roads, on which, as upon a forlorn hope, he
was sent, obtained him the knighthood oi the
Bath, and, thongh the Lords of the Admiralty
disliked him, the highest honors of his profes
sion seemed open to him.
On shore, however, if equally bold, he was
less prudent than at sea. He was elected a
member of the House of Commons, first lor the
obscure borongh of Honiton, and next for the
metropolitan city of 'Westminster. He was
strongly in opposition to the Government and
warmly an advocate of Parliamentary Reform,
so long the bug-bear of the Toiy party. An
opportunity of crashing him was made or
taken. In June, 1814, Lord Cochrane, the
Hen. A. Cochrane Johnstone, M. P., and fire
others were tried, in the Court of King’s
Bench, before Lord EnLENBOROuan, for al
leged accession in a hoax, perpetrated in tbe
preceding February, upon tho Stock Ex
change, (announcing Bonaparte’s assassina
tion) whereby the Funds rose 10 per cent.
These parties were convicted, and Lord Coch
rans was sentenced to pay a fine of £5OO, to
be imprisoned for twelve months, and to stand
in the pillory. Subsequently, he and his rela
tive, Hr. Cochrane Johnstone, wero expelled
the House oi Commons, on account of this
conviction. Finally, in August, 1814, Lord
Cochrane was Btruck off the list of naval cap
tains, and deprived of his honors and rank as
Knight of the Bath, and his arms, banners,
&c., Were literally kicked out of Henry the
Seventh’s Chapel, in Westminster Abbey, to
carry out this degradation—being the first sinco
tho establishment of the Order in 1399.
The Tory Government, which dared not
put Lord Cochrane into the pillory, remitted
that part of his sentence. The public, por
suaded that he was the victim oi party pro
ceedings, paid the fine by subscription. The
‘electors oi Westminster, who believed that
Cochrane bad; suffered because he represent
ed their liberal opinions, re-elected him to
Parliament. Escaping from prison, ho took
his seat in the House of Commons, bnt was
recommitted. At the end of his imprison
ment, he appeared in his place in Parliament,
as an opponent of the Liverpool Administra
tion.
Upon the subject of tho charge against him,
which rained his fortunes, thongh it did not
materially injure his character, Alison tbe
historian, who heard Lord Cochrans speak,
in theHonso of Commons, sgainst the motion
to expel him, emphatically declares that he
“ has never entertained a doubt oi his inno
cence ; and even if the facts charged had been
distinctly brought homo to him, it was surely
a most unwarrantable stretch to sentence to
the degrading punishment cf tho pillory so
heroic a character, especially for a proceed
ing involving no moral turpitudo, and rarely,*
if ever, before or sinco made the object ol
punishment."
In 1818, tired with inaction and disgusted
with Tory domination, Lord Cocheank ac
cepted the command of the Hoot of Chili,
which wan then battling for national indepen
dence. As ostial, he performed many gallant
feate—the inoet brilliant being his capture of
Valdivia and his catting ent the Spanish frigate
Emtmtia from under the lortiflcations ot
Callao. In 1822, he exchanged the Chilian
service for that of. Brazil, and the Emperor
Pkdko created him Marquis of Maranao. Ho
was successful here also, and returned to Eng
land, after the Independence of the South
American Republics had been secured. In
1827 and. 1828, he fought with the Greeks,
then fighting for liberation from the yoke oi
Turkey. This closed bis naval career, in
which, as has been said, that equal to Nelson
in personal gallantry, enthusiastic ardor, and
devotion to his country, he was perhaps his
superior in original geitius, inventive powor,
and inexhaustible resources.
When Lord Cookkahe became Earl oi Dnn
donald, by his father’s death, in 1881, Wn>-
liau the Fourth, himself a sailor, was King of
England, and Earl Geay was at the head of a
very liberal Government. With no delay, the
hero of the Basque Roads was reinstated in
the navy, and created rear-admiral. In 1811,
he was made Vice-Admiral oi the Blue; in
1847, the Order of the Bath was restored to
liim; in 1848, he was placed in command of
the fleet on the West Indian and North Ame
rican stations; in 1851, he became Vice-Ad
miral oi the White; and Admiral or the Uni
ted Kingdom in 1854. His death, at a very
advanced age, was not unexpected, but is
much lamented in England, where he was con
sidered the last hero oi the Nelson race of
seamen. It is said that an application to pay
him final honor, by interring him in 'West
minster Abbey, has been met with a cold re.
ftisal by Lord Palmkbbtoh’s Ministry. Tho

St. Vincent in the peerage of Portugal. En
tering the navy at the ago oi .thirteen, young
Napier saw a great deal of servico during the
French war, and, at the reduction of Martin
ique, was the first to scale tho walls. He
served, after this, on land, as a volunteer, du
ring the Spanish war—then, in tho navy,
against’ Sicily, and, in 1813, in tho war with
America, taking part in the expedition against
Baltimore and the operations against Alexan
dria. At the close of the war, in 1815, his
occupation WAS gone. In 1829 he was sent to
Portugal against Hon Miguel, and accepted
the command of the Portngnose fleet in 1888,
won the decisive battle of Cape St. Vincent,
which settled the War of Succession, placed
Dohha Maria on the throne, and caused her
to make him a Portuguese peer.
In 1839, during the war on the coast of
Syria, Napier, as second in command un
der Admiral Siopfobd, took part in all the
encounters, and took Acre, almost by a coup
it mam, fighting in the strfceta and upon the
flat honse-tops with Teckless courage. He
was made. Knight of the Bath, for these ex
ploits; received the thanks Of Parliament;
was presented with the ribbons of the leading
military and naval orders of Europe; raised
to the rank of Admiral, and elected to the
House of Commons (from 1841 to 1847,) by
tho borough of Marylebone. He commanded
the'fleet sent to the Tagus in 1847, and the
channel ' fleet. -His constant grumbling, in
pamphlets as weU as in Parliament, against
what he called the mal-admimstratlon of naval
affairs, made him' unpopular with the British
Ministry. But papular opimmi declared him
to be , the best, if not the wily man to take;
cqaamalid'of the Baltic, Fleet in 1854, and he"
was appointed. There was no small brag-,

what ha was to do against the Russians; their

fleet to he brought into Portsmouth, and
Cronstadt to bo taken within a month. Ho
issued an order commanding his sailors
to grind their cutlasses, fot the purpose
of cutting off Russian heads. Cronstadt,
however, ho found or fancied impregnable,
and, as Charles ICnicht records, 11 he re
turned home without having gained any lau
rels except by the destruction of the pretty
town and fort of Bomersund j but he was able
to announce that he had brought home his
ships uninjured—a valuable service no doubtj
but the first timo probably that such a claim
to honor was put forw'ardby an English Ad
miral in time of War.” He was then in his
seventieth year, and was never again put in
command.
Boldly asserting, on his return, that Lord
Aberdeen, the Prime Minister, and Sir James
Graham, first Lord of tho Admiralty, had
combined, by giving him inadequate force and
insufficient naval stores, to render him power
less before Cronstadt, Napier succeeded in
creating an impression, at tho timo, that ho
had been badly used, if not actually betrayed.
At that timo, too, tho popular belief was that
Lord Aberdeen was extremely disinclined to
hostilities against tbe late Czar, with whom ho
was on intimate terms. Considered as a Mar
tyr, Sip Charles Napier .was olected M.P.
for the metropolitan borough of Southwark,
by popular fooliDg, in November, 1866, on
the death of Sir William Molesworth. He
continued to represent that borough until his
death, a fortnight ago.
In Parliament, Sir Charles Napier was a
great failure. Without tho slightest preten
sions to oratory, ho was a very frequent
speaker, bringing no small amount of practi
cal knowledge to tlie discussion of naval af
fairs, hut wearying and disgusting his hearers
by vehement and ill-mannered personal at
tacks upon officials and others who did not
think that Charles Napier, Admiral of the
Blue, was the very best officer to command
tho whole navy of England, and also to sit in
the Cabinet as First Lord of the Admiralty.
Hiß advocacy, in and out of Parliament, of
the abolition of flogging in the navy must be
remembered to his credit. In politics he' was
an extreme liberal—advocating universal euf
frage, vote by ballot, short Parliaments, ex
clusion of Bishops from tho House of Lords,
and abolition of all Church-rates.
When Lord Cochrane sat in tho House of
Commons, from 1807 to 1818, ho was a strong
but no means violent speaker. As Earl of
Dundonald, a Scotch peer, be never sat in the
House of Lords. There is no opportunity,
theroiore, of comparing the old ago ef Coch
rane with that of Napier.
Undeniably, both were gallant naval officers.
Cochrane, was a hero aiter the
fashion of the antique times, and his valor was
constantly successful. Napier’s failure before
Cronstadt has helped to erase tho memory of
his many gallant deeds during a long life of
active servico. Out of his profession, he fvd's
a commonplaco and eveii disagreeable man.
Tlie Philosophy of Facts and Figures--
Data for Merchants and Statesmen.
We publish, in another part of The Press,
two masterly articles from that invaluable jour
nal, Fernon’s United Slalei Railroad and
Mining Register, of the 17th Inst.j to Which wo
direct the attention of business men and poli
ticians—and particularly of all those who are
interested in the progress and prosperity of
Philadelphia, and of our groat State. Mr.
Fernon does not publish a political paper, and
contonts himself with a simple statement of
facts and figures, leaving the inletence to tho
intelligent reader. No such porson will care
fully peruse those two articles without inevita
bly coming to these conclusions:
I. Tho utter impracticability of a successful
dissolution of tho Union, and tho certain iail
uro of all those States which resolve to follow
tho example of South Carolina.
11. The enormous advantages of Pennsylva
nia growing out of her railroad connections
with tho conservative States of the South, as
well as with those which are more remote, and
governed by more extreme opinions.
HI. Her highly iavorablo connections with
the West and Northwest.
IV. The increase of population in Philadel
phia and NeW York, and thoir respective
manufacturing and Commercial advantages.
, V. The necessity oi establishing manufac
tures and attracting emigration, to the South
before Disunion can be made profitable or re
spectable.
And finally, the vast Influence of the rela

who are laboring to separate this Confede

No Philadelphian will Yefiect upon the fee 1
cond article from tho Register without realis

awaken Philadelphia and every other city to
a consideration of their own resources and to
tho benefits to bo derived from extending
their relations with distant points ?
WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE.
■ Letter Irom “ Occasional,”
[Correepondenod oi The Press.]
Washington, November 20,1860.
The Christian patriot who looks ont from his
quietude upon tho boiling wavea of Southern Dleu*
niouism, will turn his eyca, with a ecdbc of grate
ful relief, to tho generally oalm dignity of the
Northern people. ‘With the exception of a fow fa
natios who, for their own purposes, place ek&gge.
rated constructions upon the late election, the
many millions of freettoon scattered oVbr that jpatt
of tho country in which BlaVery does not e±lst»
contemplato, with indulgent fiilcnoe, tho threats
and terrors of those who seem to haro resolved, for
one or another ro&son, to raze tbe Republio to the
ground. Mr. Lincoln himself preserves an admi
rable equanimity, and those who apeak for him, —
even the wildest of thorn—seem inspired by his
example, and rival each other in oounsels of fra
ternity and good will. Nothing is so apt to disarm
violence and intemperance as oolleotodness of man
ner, and fixedness of purposo. A manifvo is fre
quently trarquiliscd by gentle tteatmeht, and
is said of Karey, the great horse-tamer, that
when he entered the Stall o'f a* steed which had
never knofrn control before, he subdued him in an
instant, withokt using whip or spa*. Human na
ture is the saine itll ovel* the world, and the South
ern statesman oannot fail to be impressed by tho
general tone of the Northern mind. And yet there
are some things taking place in South Carolina
well calculated to disturb a much less impressible
people than ours. Think of the American flag
being hauled down from an Amorican steamer, in
obedience to tbe command of a brutal mob, and in
its stead a local banner raised, in order to pro
pitiate that mob, and to obtain certain commercial
advantages! dhink of Ball Columbia and Yankee
Doodle laag r oed at and derided, and the revolu
tionary hymn of a foreign nation substituted amid
responsive acclamations! Think of Jackson, and
Washington, and Madison insulted and repudiated!
Aots like theso may be called the acts of inebriated
madmen; but will it bo supposed for a moment that
sueh doings will not reaoh the warm hearts of the
Southern people like blows doalt with the coldoat
and sharpest steel-freezing the blood in their
veins, and causing suoh a revival of the memories
of the past as will make them tremble before the
perils and the evils that are invoked upon their
heads by tbelr own misguided brethren ? And if
such sentiments are inspired at the firo eides of the
South, what xnußtbe the feelings of thoso who par
ticipated in none of those performances ?
When tho Amerioan citizen visits a foreign land,
the first object ho seeks for is tbe fisg.of his whole
country. Surrounded with strangers, it recalls to
him his absent family and friends. It spoaks of a
united Republio, an i he dwells upon it as a messen
ger that insures him protection abroad, and honor
at home. Heretofore this glorious symbol awaken,
ed the spontaneous and heartfelt enthusiasm of all
Amerloans—whether they live in the South or tho
North, in the Hast or tho West; and shall it not
be bo hereafter ? Perish tho thought! That ban
ner, the type of an unbroken oountry, the emblem
of an empire stretohing Its arms from sea to sea,
tho sign of a rapidly increasing population—all
bound to support the same Constitution, though

object of hatred to monarohs and despots. When
ever & new ataris the galaxy that shines
In the (as yet) unoloudod heaven of that flag, it is
like’ tearing away a now sun from tho future of
isolated Europe, and deepens still more the gloom
that settles upon thoso notions where man is not
free, where spoeoh is not free, and whore even
thought itsolf Is stifled. And when fleeiDg from
oppression or poverty, tho hunted and strioken
sons of Ireland, Qormany, France, and England
come hither for proteotion, they hail the banner
that was tmlutlad in tha Revolution, and that has
continued to float and expand Us dimensions &e
State after State was admitted into the Union, os a
oanopy and a shield above and around them, pro
tecting them against all harm, and making the as
surance of equality doubly sure. When
they come to take the oath, and to sunder all alio
glanoe to the tyrants they have left, they swear to
supjwrt tho entire Union~not one but all tho
slfctp&y they come hero, not to be oitizens of South
jQaitfjHsa, or of Pennsylvania, but of the, United
States of America. Hence it is that the masses of
out adopted citizens rally so enthusiastically to
every candidate, and to every platform represent 1
log Che unmutilated Republic and the Indl&btiuble
Union.
Tho fire-eaters of South Carolina and Georgia
committed a frantlo. blunder in beginning their
orusade upon tbe Confitltutl6n and the Union with
an insult to the Star Spangled banner. They re*
lied too muoh upon their own run-mad rhetorio,
and too little upon the irresistible feeling that
wells around &U Amerioan hearts. Strange to say,
many of the doctrines against which the fire
eaters are now protesting—including the Con
stitution itself, whioh they trample under foot,
and nearly all those righteous constructions ot it
which frown upon their oonduct like a fall-armed
battery—come from Southern statesmen. Tho'
great song of tho Star Spangled Bannor itself is
the production of a Southern patriot ohly lately
gathered to his fathers—whose descendants still
live in Maryland, and whoso name Is cherished
among the swoetest rccolleotions of the people of
that State. Mr. Coloook,Mr. McGrath, Mr. Bon-
Inm, and others in tho Palmotto State, havo un
dertaken a large contract They may bo able to
batter down tho entiro fabric of freedom and crush
out of tho common mind tho Revolutionary past, to
substitute hate for affeotion in regard to those who
formed the Union, and to establish friendly and
profitable intercourse with foreign lungs and po
tentates, but when they attempt to illustrate these
holy pastimes by an outroge upon the flag of our
country, thoy’may, and, wo think, will find that
their labors will bo covered with failure and con
tempt.
Justiso Wayne, as I long ago predicted he would,
has oomo out boldly against tho Disunionists. Bo
is an old Jackson Georgian, and has always been a
firm opponent ef tho Calhoun nnllifiers. Justice
Wayne, like Chief Justioo Taney, knows well that
the EucoeEsof the Southern faotionists would de
stroy tho Supremo Court of tho United States, of
Which the latter is so distinguished an ornament.
How well (in view of his public denunciation of
Mr. Cobb and his follow-dißunionists,) does the
following high compllmont of lion Edward Everett
in 1851 to that great tribunal, and its certain fate
in tbe event of the overthrow of tho Union, apply
to the present oondltion of things. Icopy: -
“Then, gentlemen, as to tho Supremo Court of
the United etfttes. X do not know what others may
think on the subjeot, but for myself, sir, (addressed
to Chancellor Walworth who sat by Mr. Everett's
side,) I will say, that if all tho labors, tho sacri
fices, and the waste of treasure and blood from the
first landing at Jamestown or Plymouth were to
give us nothing elao bat tho Supreme Court of tho
Unitod States, this revered tribunal for the settle
ment of International disputes, (for such it may be
called.) I should say the sacrifice was well made.
I havo trodden with emotion tho threshold of
Westminster Ball, and of tho Palace of Justioo in
France. I thought with respeot of a long Hoe of
illustrious ohonoellors and Judges, surrounded with
the insignia of office, clothed in soarlot and ermine,
Who within these anoient halls have, without fear
or favor, administered justice between powerful liti
gants. And it ie with dooper emotion« of morenoo,
it is with something like awe, that I have entered
tho Supreme Court at Werhington. Not that I have
there beard strains of forenslo eloquence rarely
oqualled, never surpassed, from the Wirlß, the
Pinokneys, ond the wobsters; but because I have
seen there a bright display of tho perfection of the
moral sublime in human affairs. I have witnessed
how, from the low, dark bench, destitute of the
cmbloma of power, from the lips of the grave arifi
venerable magistrate, to whom years and gray
hairs could add no new titles to respeot, (I need
write no name under that portrait,) the voioe of
justice and equity has gone forth to the most pow
erful States of tho Union, administering tbe law
betwoen oitiaens of independent States, settling
dangerous controversies; adjusting disputed bound
aries, annnling unconstitutional laws, reversing
erroneous decisions, and, with a few mild Words o
judioial wisdom, disposing of questions a hundred
fold more important than those which, within tbe
past year, from the plains of Holstein, have shaken
the pillars of continental Europe, and all but
brought a million of men into deadly oonfllct with
ecoh othor.
When the Union is broken, whan the States aro
separated, what is to become of your Supreme
Court? How, then, aro you to settle great and diffi
cult questions? Atd plenty of them, teliovo hie,
you will havo. Think of these mighty rivors rnu-"

controversies whioh will present themselves about
their navigation. Is there to be any way of settling
them ? Again : hostile tariff'd, designed to under
mine tho revenue and commerce of neighboring
States, will infallibly be enacted, and then this

in the namo of Heaven are you to do with all these

Geo. 0. Prentice at National Hall last
Evening.
The fifth unnual course of lectures, given under
the auspices of tbo Harrison Literary Institute, was
inaugurated at National Hall, Market street, above
Twelfth, last evening, in a lecture by George D.
Prentice, Esq., the accomplished editor of tho
liOulevUle on “ Politics and Politicians
cf tho United States. Seldom has a lecturer been
greeted with so flattering an audienoo, in numbers,
respcotabiUty, and intelligence, as was assembled
'to hear this able writer and distinguished wit leßt
evening. Beforo the leotare oommenood, there were
curiosity and expectation piotured upon tbo faces
of the audience, which, as the sequel proved, were
destined to be gratified, for no man was over ap
.plauded more ronndly, or with a finer discrimina
tion, than was Mr. Prentiee, as he proceeded with
tho delivery of bis lecture. He appeared upon the
platform at 8 o’olock, accompanied by the members
of the “ Harrison” and a few of his prominent
Philadelphia friende.
The lecturer was introduced in a few appropriate
remarks by Mr. John R. Young, President of tho
“ Institute, *’ in whioh the latter, evidently pleased
with the financial eucocss of their laudable enter
prise, thanked tbe audieqpe, and gave them to un
derstand that they had a few similar entertainments
in reserve, in whioh they (tho audience) would bo
welcome to participate.
The npplouso which tho Icoturer’e appearanoe at
tho stand elicited Was protracted and enthusiastic.
When quiet was restored, Mr. Prentice oom
menood, having neither note nor .manuscript, and
for about an hour and a garter enohained tho
audionoe with Mb eloquence. Hißlangu&ge, though
strong, and at times bitter, was withal constructed
with rare grace, and many parts of his lecture
wero more a satirical poem in blank verso than an
extempore exposition of a very prosy eubjeet—the
corruptness and incapacity of our publio men.
(&?,noticeable feature in tbe lecture was, that
while at short intervals the house was convulsed
with laughter, there was notin a single instance
the least approximation to a emile upon tho
speaker’s own faoe.
If those who ley the foundations of a oommon
woalth, said the looturer in opening, were entitled
to praise, surely the building of tho superstructure
and its subsequent preservation was a matter of
equally high eonsiderotion. States were jounded
but onoe ; tboy wero governed always: £0 that if
the statesman was striot in his fidelity to duty, tbe
speaker did not know bnt that be was entitled to
■even higher consideration than he who laid the
foundation of a State. It was tho province of states
mon tolnfds&new life and vigor into thefundamen
tal laws which the founders of government had
but conceived. «The mission of the latter was
to bring forth; the former reared and perfeoted.
StaU'inaHng was political parturition; states
manship was the art of guarding a State when
formed. Holding these views of the vcoation of
statesmen—whioh ho admitted had fallen some
what into disrepute —he hoped to treat his subjeot
calmly, though be confessed that to do so under all
the circuroßtancea required muoh philosophical
solftporaesßion.
Tho following requisites of a true statesman were
here stated ae a kind of test for the discourse:
Patriotism, integrity, moral ooursge, firmness of
soul, pcrsnneivencee, ccmprehensive and enlight
ened sagacity, candor, fertility of resource, judg
ment, and a thorough knowledge of politics m its
widest senso. Other qualities might bo useful;
these wero essential. In this, as in all things
else, harmony was tho highest element of perfec
tion. Lot us sec, said ho, how theso qualities are
mingled in our current statennunship, if, indeed,
the? mingle in it at all.
PatnotismvtOQ the first essential treated. This,
he held, was the mainspring of all statesmanship
that rr.3 Worthy of the name. Yet be must con-
that this element cut but a sorry figure iu the
statesmen of our country to-day. They loved office
better than they did country. Place, rather than
tbe good of their oountry, was their aim, and
so true was this that to deny it would be perftotly
ridiculous Self-interest, in its falsest and
narrowest shape, was the loadstone of their
aotiou. The art of getting, and retaining office
was their view of ftatesmanshlp; and taking this
view', it was but fair to say that tho statesmen of
the present day wero certainly aa devoted as could
be deslrod. jLaughter.J Bow havo we fallen!,
he exclaimed, with muoh pathos. “ Tho pleasures
of government,” in the language of Voltaire,
“ must certainly bo exquisite, if wo may jadge
from the number and scramble of those who are
eager to take part in it ” Tho conduct of our
Occasional.
public hzlers bow, tfltb soHtbely nh exception, .did
but s?t tbo public good at defiance, it had hap
pened inmost countries that, where patriotism had
expired, it bad at least been te some extent coon
terfeited; but publio men had actually sunk so
low ia this country, that they did not even assume
the ii rihe thpy have Never had this virtue
been reduced t 6 somein an eitSfi as here. Hy
pocrisy, it* was said, was .the tribute which vice
paid to virtue ; but here we had ep deteriorated,*
that even-this poor tributo was denied the virtue
Nor was this the worst. We
’Ead a’scbool ei' tfl&soft In our midst. We bad,
alas! too many who mado no soorot of their
hatred to Iholr. country. Not. satisfied with
themselves denounoiog the Union, thoy de
nounced everyb dy that did not join thorn In
thoir unholy zeal. Thoy exhibited an utter ro
pugnanco to everything that was national. Bir
James Mclntosh, with alt his antipathy to musio,
had onco been induced to attend an Italian opera,
froiu tyhich he bsfi retired so horrified, that Rich
ard Sharp subsequently suggested, as a question
for public debate, What was the effect of music
upon the eonsorium of Sir James Molntoeh ? The
question might with as much propriety be asked,
said tho speaker, What of lat© years has been the
effect of tho uttoranoo of patriotic sentiments In our
national halls of legislation, either upon the spleen
of tho Disunionlsta of the South, or on tho liver of
fanatical Northern Abolitionists? (Laughter.]
Tho next consideration to which he invited at*
ttntion was the integrity of our statesmen; and
ho would ask, if our statesmen are not patrlotio,
they honest ? This, he admitted, was a very
nice question! [Prolonged laughter j Tho extent
to whioh our statesmen truokled to popular preju
dices was, he said, positively alarming. Their
sycophancy was of tho hardiest description. Tho
adulation of the rabbio was better to them far, than
tio quiet approval of an unoffended consolenoe
Thelf idea was, that nothing that excites the
applauso of the people could be amiss. Hy
pocrisy, Burke had once said, made the most
Oublimo Bp’eouiatlona, for it flefrot attempted to go
beyond speculation, and It could t&orefore afford
to have it magnificent. So, said ho, our publio
men wore eocustomed to flatter tho people, for the
purpose of victimising them afterwards. However
tightly offfotal Instructions' and oaths might fit bur
publio men when they left their constituents for
the seat of government, they were sure to be seen
in hose habits beforo they were long there
[laughter.] They were year, aftor year squan
dering the revenue and territory ef the nation,
and their unmitigated lavishness would probably
soon leave them in the situation of Alox&nder
when ho bad no ihofo riorids to conquer. Our
legislators were designated as sharpers 6h mvery
magnificent scale, it was unquestionably true*
that many of them went to Congress and made
more money by speculation and peculation, than
did many of our most successful merchant princes,
and not a few of them went there avowedly for
that purpose ! Iftliej did not leave home with the
view of stealing, they seldom cfoss&d the Susque
hanna, or tho Potoriao, Wore the; ohanged their
mind* [Loud laughter} They had a hundred
ways of stealiog mtj the treasury, and a thousand
ways of stealing out oj zf/when they get there.
This might be strange, but it was not Inexplicable.
Their habitual negleot of the publio business was
another flagrant inStanoe of the dishonesty of our
publio men. Thus the greator part of their session
was squandered In organizing and dovising con
spiracies against tho publio treasury. All this was
rot only wrong, but grossly immoral. The ploa of
want of time to attend' to tholr duties waa tho most
consummate mo'okery j and it was a burning dl£§
grooe to those who tffade it. If tho; could not find
time to do,the duties of legislation they had no right
to be legislators, and they ought therefore die or
resign. | Laughter.]
Having now discussed, he feared, at uaduo
length these two eesentlai qualities of statesman*
ibip, patriotism and integrity, ho deemed it un
necessary to dwell particularly upon any other
qualities named in hla opening, and he would there
fore touch them rapidly.
Our public mon were, if anything, more deficient
in moral courage than in patriotism and honesty.
There was little or no manliness in the councils of
the country. Inconstancy of purposo was the bane
of our statesmen. If there was no other screw
loose, this was aloue satfioiont to sabjeot them to
shaiao in tho eyes of the world. In the matter of
eloquence he admitted that our statesmen were
great. Yet, this eloquonoo, in the main, lacked
oenvinoing power, copiously brilliant as it was.
The eloquenoe of our statesmen was Cicero
clan, rather than Demosthenlan. Thus, how
ever brilliant they were aa speakers, they were
Wofully defioiont in the art of persuasiveness
and he believed there was moro power in
the mute integrity of an honest man in Con
gress than in all its eloquenoe. There were
comparatively few of our statesmen who under
stood that tholr profession was a soionco as well
as an art. But few of them had any adequate
knowledge of tho laws of nations, or diplomacy.
Compared with tho statosmen of any other first
rato nation, ours wero tho merest tyros; the most
utter ignoramuses, and succeeded, when they suc
ceed at all, like tho quaok praotitioner of modi
cine, by tho charity of nature! # ln short, our so*
oalled statesmanship was political charlatanism
and humbuggery. And If tho Amerioan people
ever expected to improve upon this state of things,
they must educate a generation of statesmen.
Let thorn do this, and all would be well; and do it
they must, or perish as a cation.
‘pat be was done. He had told some plain, per
haps bitter tratbs; but he had been honest. It
might be more pleasing to assure his audience that
all waa moving smoothly and gloriously on; but if
he did', be should be guilty of treason to his own
soul and .to them We were onoompassed by the
most threatening dangers Already the gangrene
was making its Bppearanoe upon our poUUoal ear
oass, and unless there was interposition on tho part
of God or the people, the end must bo speedy and
disastrous. On the other hand, however, if we
were but truo to ourselves, this oountry would be
come an oasis in the desert of nations, ana a refuge
for all who would escape from tho evils or anarchy
and despotism.

jgDAiLY News’ City Article.— Although the ex
pectation of an early advance in the Bank of Eng
land’s rate of discount is now general, the English
funds remain firm. In the share market the prin
cipal feature was a further severe fall in the
stock of the two principal Amerio&n railway com
panies. In the discount market the supply of mo
ney continues ample, but rather higher rates were
demanded to*day m.antioip&tion of a movement at
the bank to*morrow. Good short bills were taken
at 32 a 4 per oent. The applications at the bank
were heavy, and betokened & general impression
that the rates will be raised to morrow. Daring
the last few days the banks have raised the terms
for advances upon long bills, front) 4 to 4} a 5 per
cent.
The Times' oily artiole says the demand for
discount at the Bank was extremely heavy yester
day. In expectation of fill upward, movement.
Tue rate to-day has in some degree diminished.
There is no real commercial pressure, and the ma
jority of the applications must be regarded simply
aa a precaution. It is cot improbable, therefore
that an immediate advanoe may still be deemer
unnecessary, especially aa no farther large with
dawals of gold are likely, just at present, to be
made from the Bank on French acoount. Mode
rate remittances will continue to go to Spain, but
these and anything casually required for Paris,
will, it is thought, bo nearly all supplied by arri
vals from Australia and Panama. At the same
time, it is still a peouliar feature of the period that
our existing rate of discount is considerably higher
than the rate on the continent. The stock of bul
lion is fully equal to the average of *67, when the
rate was 3 per oent. There is no rigid precedent
ior an increase, and the matter merely stands at a
point so nicely balanced that no fault can be found
whichever course may be adopted.

Georgia—Conservative Meetings.
Augusta, Ga , Nev. 20.—The largest meeting
ever held in Greene county, Ga., was oonvened in
the court bouse, on Friday last. The most influ
ential men participated.
Resolutions were adopted, by an almost unani
mous vote, of a conservative character. They urge
the o all of a State Convention of all parties to calmly
consider the evils whioh at present threaten the
destruction of the national Union; appeal to the
people of the Union to discard the counsels of
agitating pelltioians and demagogues of all
sections, and rally to the support of ah im
perilled Government. Politicians, they say, in
stead of allaying the excitement, have stirred it
up; instead of repressing mutual distrust and
dislike, have promoted it; and instead of
removing abases and disputes, have created
them for the sake of obtaining power and offioo.
Doth sections hare, pandered to the passions and
prejudices of the people at homo, keeping each
seotion Igfiorant of the patriotic, conservative, and
oatbulio feelings of the other They have been
mutually exasperated by the incendiary and dis
organizing representations of hungry office-seekers
of both seotaons, and now find themselves in a
fierce controversy which they had no hand in
bringing on.
A large meeting in Hancock oounty, on Satur
day, unanimously adopted firm conservative reso
lutions, denying that the mere election of Mr. Lin
coln was a cause for disunion, but declaring that
the unfriendly legislation of many of the free States
was an outrage on the oomity of the Union, and
demanded a resistance. -
A majority of the counties have held meetings
in favor of secession; many, however, have been
strongly conservative. Borne favor retaliatory le
gislation, while all favor & State Convention, and
all oppose the coercion of the eefffcdlng Btates.
A meeting held in Bryan county declared that
no Northern fieboxmen or hunters should hereafter
be permitted to operate in their section, and thoso
at present fishing and bunting there should be no
tified to loave.
How to Settle the Difficulty—Duty of

Augusta, Ga ,Nov. 20.—The conservative senti
ment of the South appears to be disgusted at the
unceasing sectional wrangles which now. so se
riously disturb tbe'polltiaal and commercial state

Station, Filth and Chestnut streets, was orowded
with spectators to hear the etideneein the ease of
the lottery speculators, Dr. Martin H., Kendig,
Henry L. Kendig. his brother, and Philander A.
Fitzgerald, recently doing business at 401 Chest
nut street, whose arrest was mentioned in The
Press yesterday. A large number of letters were
read, of a similar character to those already men
tioned, showing tho nature of the boafness carried
bn by the defendants—offering inducements for per
sons to invest small sums of money, in the hope of
drawing as prizes Valuable articles of jewelry.
Mayor Henry was examined aa a witness, and
testified that his name, which appeared upon the
circulars issued by the defendants, was used with
out his knowledge or consent.
Mr. Fitzpatrick, the auctioneer, on Chestnut
street, above Sixth, testified that the defendants
had business transactions with him for jewelry,
amounting to $4OO or $5OO, chiefly for small articles
valued at twenty* five oents eaoh, and even lower
rates. These articles wero the same which the de
fendants asserted In their circulars were genuine
gold, and rated as being worth two and three dol
lars eaoh.
The defendants were committed by Alderman
Beitler. in default of $2,000 bail etch, to answer at
court the charge of obtaining money under falsa
pretences, and keeping up a lottery, contrary to
the laws of the Commonwealth, “in such oases
made and provided.” They made several in
effectual efforts to obtain bail, but were finally
taken down in the Black Maria. They grumblld
very muoh at this, alleging that they were gentle
men, and should have had a private ooaoh to con
vey them to the “jag;” as one very jocosely re
marked, “ We’ve been used to keeping our own
horses.”
Nte w Culverts.—Applications for the
construction of new oulverti were considered by
the Board of Surveys, at a meeting held on Mon
day afternoon. In referenoe to the culvert asked

draiu Levering and other streets, whioh were ren
dered impassable early in the fall, would be down
Lovering to Wood street, crossing Wood to Cotton,
and down Cotton street to the Schuylkill. The di
mensions of the culvert has been left to the Chief
Engineer and Surveyor, and. when it Is fixed, the
whole matter will be referred to Counolls for con
firmation. Tho application for a culvert on Wal
lace street, between Seventeenth and Eighteenth,

nue, was also direoted to be ooustruoted; and Mr.
J. Wright was authorized to construct, at his own
expense, a culvert on Hudson alley, between
Market and Chestnut streets, for the drainage of

a quarter paßt two o’clock yesterday morning,
Offioer Bosnian discovered a fire in the drying
rooms attached to the City Mills, looated on Law
renoe stmt, below Girard avenue, in the Sixteenth
ward. The alarm was promptly given, but the
flames spread with great rapidity, and fears were
entertained that the entire* mills would be con
sumed. Through the exertions of the firemen the
fire waa confined to the apartment in which it ori
ginated. The dry-house was entirely consumed.
At the time there were about five thousand poundß
of cotton in the structure. Of course this was de
stroyed. The buildings belong to Mr. Joseph
Ripka, and are ocoopied by Mr Paul Thuriow.
The loss is estimated at from $2,000 to $3,000. This
is fully insured in the Royal and other insurance
companies. The fire is attributed to aeoident, as
it first made its appearasco over the boiler. These
mills were entirely burned out on the Bth of Febru
ary last, and had just been rebuilt. But for the
timely discovery of the flames, they would again
have been a mass of ruins.

A Nbw Fbrby Boa? ON thk Delaware.
—The Cooper’s Point and Vine street Ferry Com
pany placed a new and elegant steamer apon the
line yesterday afternoon. The new boat is called
the Ala.tapha , the reputed aneient name of the
Delaware. She constitutes the third boat built un
der the auspices of that company, and in strength,
safety, swiftness and cost, surpasses both the ether
two, being of plated-Iron, ribbed over the whole
interior length, and of superior machinery. She
ooat $27,000, and is in .length of keel 12$ feet,
length over all 132 feet, beam 25 feet, cylinder 32
