Mr. Jeffehrox Davis has his days of
abst ucc front the duties of hii olllee. Il jurs
of iilnes coine to himis they come to all m ;a.
Intervals occur when be U withdrawn from
the world, and when ho hxs every opportunity
of being troubled with thick-coming fancio3.
JJe cannot always expect to be punctual at
Cabinet conclaves, nor to always Oil bin chair
at tbe proper moment in kla olU.io at tho
Treasury Building. And although tho day
bos not yet come when .Richmond shall know
hiin bo more, yet the s'.ory of his olHcial lite,
from yoar to year, is broken In upon, as that j
of every otherman Is, by oceasloual absence i.
Tbe despatches Inform us that ho has been
111, though the Richmond papers anxiously
contradict the report of his poisoning. lie h it
lieen guttering from one of his severe neuralgic
attacks, but on Friday afternoon last attended
ft Cabinet meeting, and the next morning
bowed himself In the streets on his way to
the Treasury.
As be lies In the quiet and remote sick
room, what can this man, this Jffeuson
Davih, be thinking about? Solid, serious
reflection will come to the most thoughtless
and flippant at time, und Hr. Davis Is nei
ther a flippant nor a tiioughllos man. Con
strained reflection U one of the elements of
retribution, and 1s a visitation which will
eurcly occur to such a man as he. It has
passed into a proverb that illness softens the
heart, as suffering purifies the affection. M.-.
Davis need both oflonlng and purifying.
If the keenest durto of remorse ranklti d-epo.st
In hours of weakness ami depression, we may
imagine the experience preparing for this
mail, as tbe pictures ot the past group around
him In hi lonely 'and liU-iil hours. Tlie very
uhoit past oftlie las' four years is sufll ient to
furuLh many an unholy and remorse-inspiring
panorama for him. Whatever st-p ho takes
now, retribution will meet him hal-way, ready
with a foretaste of death.
Mr. Davis cannot atfird to tin yet. Hj
has tho work.to completo whijhho has bjgan.
De ha to got the houlli out of the) scrape iu
which ha has Involved her. At least, this is a
performance which the KoutVrn people h iva
the right to expect of him. He bai, too, lo
Witiiea the death of ail bis own hopes In

Olisorve hands Joined together which are now
raised against each other. He has to w ituess
the perlect realization of altepublic which
ahull be one entire and perfect chrysolite, uad

Tin: iM iiKisi'.'if t itiui:
Tin: resit iu New York, mid elsewhere, it
c 'iiij laininji of the increase of criuie. Tho
snbjt ct is even arresting the notice ol m i.i.s
t: iitcd ni:d judicial olilceis, who speak of it
with unusual earnestness anil apprehension.
Tin dot kct.s of I ho Courts of Oyer and Terminer
are swelled with criminal cases of greater or
less degree, and their docks lire daily crowded
with culprits, from the petty thief to the gar
roter und the murderer. It must b? confessed
that nil of our lai o ciiie3 are tho seeno of
much depravity mid vioh uce. of one kind or
another, und that the amount of crime daily
and nightly committed may boon tho Increase.
Yet we doubt whether wo lire much worse off
in llii.s matter than most oftlie capilalj of oilier
coiiiitr'es. Wherever population is coiicon
t'alcd iu dctii.o masses, there mu.st bj much
more motive und opportunity for violations of
both the civil and moral law, th in In sparsely
set tied communities.
tireat cities are tho natural rendezvous of
adventurers and ragahouds of all sort und
giudes, from the flashily-apparelled and Impu
dent blackleg, who caricatures iu his puraon
the exterior ol a w ell-to-do man of the world,
w ho Las no visible vocation, to tho hard-fea
tured and Iiard-up-looking cove, who evidently
uirus his breud in no very reputable way, and
h-a written, in quite leyiblo characters, all
ever bis grim and forbidding presence, tho
piratical motto that "the world owes hi'ii a
living." Tho streets of every metropolis are
filled with beggars, who might bo honest, self
supporting people, in many ca.es, did they not
prefer to eat the dry cruat of charity iu shame-
I less sloth, lather Hum labor for a belter meal,
i And where we find the drone who begs his
subsistence, we very confidently look for the
hardier rascal who steals it.
Criminals of oil classes cannot live in the
rural districts, and heiico they flock to tilt)
towns. Thure they find not only moro prey,
but a better chance of security iu sa'ziug it.
Uesides, your professional roguo is no lover
ol solitude. Ilis conscience, small and oodu
lated as it may be, is a most unoomfortiiblo
j t ompe.tiion : he does not like to bo too much
n!ono witu it and hence he seekj and is fond
j of tocicty, which he enjoys Iu the din uud
i crow d anil excitement of such human hives as
Furls, London, and New York. Iu such
i places he leels his individuality quite lost, and
wuile he diverts himself Id the hurly-burly of
tho titicets by day, and baa at night bis jolly
carousals with a set of fellow-felons In somo
, low stye In a back alley, he flutters himself
that, lu pursuing his scape-gallows bu-luujs, he
. Las the odds heavily against the police,
j The ci'.ies, then, arc tho centres of crime;
j but when crime Increases lu those centres, wo
are not warranted lu drawing a general con
j elusion that tliu whole people everywhere aro
! declining in virtue. Vet there uro persons and
, papeis among us guilty of that ridiculous
, fallacy. They tell us that tho entire country is
! In ara; Id progress to depravity uud the Ieril ;
and that this tact, deplorable and portentous,
il it were true, is to bo attributed to the war,
, wl.lch is fast converting us into a nation of
j robbers and cutthroats. All sueb talk Is much
more than ttbstird ; it lies lu it a large element
cf tit uson,or, what is equivalent, sympathy
Willi tho liebellion.
The croakers would liaio the war cease, lu
order that Davih and bis followers In tho
South uisy be li t alone; und ono uiguiuent
ugaiiet tl.e wans, that it is universally cor
rupting In 1's hill leii. e. There Is but little
trt III in ull that kind of bl ither. Wars are,
no doubt, prejudicial, to a certain extent, to
, m,,raitv. Tiny not only arouse and cul
1 tiv..te the vindictive passions of men, but, by
creating exlraortiimiry conditions in tho busi
I less pcom.my of n people, they afford oeca
; tioiib tor the tuddeu uehlevcuieut of private
; foil lines of great inuguilude.
I A general spirii, of speculation arises with
i tho abundance of currency uud the lullation
cf all vultics uhicli ihe war produces, and u
i prrat many visionary peis.otis hope to get rich
liy Uiking advantage of the times nnd tlie rapid
fluctuation iu trade and finance which are
coincident with them. The desire and oppor
tunity to nmass wealth quickly are apt to ren
der most men rather unscrupulous as to the
ways and means of effecting their object; und
therefore it Is not at all to bo wondered at If
the tone of tho business cdVnmiinity Is some
what depressed below tlie bLuiiLu'd that pre
vail ordinarily.
Uut while admitting this tendency of a sea
son of war, especially civil war, to beget u
strange spirit of speculation and avarice, there
is so reason, nevertheless, to base on such
foundation the idea that the morality of the
whole nation is bcine depraved, simply be
cause it Is contemporary with a certain in
crease of crime iu the cities of tho laud.
. It bhould be Loi'iie in in! ml, In the (11 cus
tiod of this question, that a great and pro
tracted war In any country brings into It a
large accslon of foreign population, among
which, of course, aro many desperate adven
turers, who tunc lived dishonestly at home,
and who seek lo . Improve thir fortunes
wherevtr a serUiu noeuJ disturbance offers
them a belter chance for plunder. Such
fellows the 'Gipsies and Bohemians ' of
thoj criminal ' fraternity everywhere ru,sh .
lusf actively to any ' scena of turmoil
i d disorder, In the belief that whnro all
la apparently In a process of revolut'on,
Uiey may rlso to the surfaeo, like the dreg'of
a teething cauldron. Wo think, therefore,
that any access of criminals and crime, that
may bo discovered In the cities of tho country
ought not to be ascribed to the demoralizing
Influcnco of tho war on our own people, but
rather to the Influx of a set of professional
rascals, who have elsewhere graduated In th ir
culling, and have temporarily come hither to
pract'se It, under what they suppose to bo
thrombin circumstances.
At all events, any Ascertained growth of
crime anionr? us should be met by correspond
ing Increase ot vigilance on the part of tho
police, and severity In the ii'l ninlstration of
criminal law. All law-breaker-, whether n ulvo
or foieign, shouhl be taught by the authori
ties that ciime here has no sanctuary, an I
that this country is no!, a Held In-whieh It c t i

A nation does not, like. Miuerva, spring Into

Ninety tears ago thirteen weak, il'-jointe.l
colonics broke forto from the tyranny oi'Grea!,
Drilnin, und launched upon tho tempest uoui
sea of national existence. From tliirutui h.d;
Icss colonies sli-1 has grown to be one mi,'iity
niitioii. A nation stretching from the pi.i !
clatl hills of Maliio to tilt! giussy plains of
Texas from tlie busy mails of the Atlantic to
the golden gate of tho I'aelllc bearing the
liuit.s of every clime, abounding iu the pro
ducts of every zone, this delightful homo of
man welcomes to its shores the oppressed of
every land, and adopts us it children ail tho
down-trodden of earth. Her commerce whitens
tveiy st-a, and anchors in every port. Her
sons, leaping over Ifnonntaiu.i, crossing o vviu i,
have unsealed the closed ports of d ip 1 1, have
passed Hie Antarctic, mitl planted tho Stars
nnd Stripes on tlie glistening iceh.Tgiol the
Irozcii north.
Such Is tlie Ian 1 we call our own, yet tho
pampered slaves of de-poli.-m dar.! to c ill
ncrosa tho waters and tell us we are not gre it.
Their very cctions belie their words. (,n wo
not, by .siui ly closing the mouths of our grain
bags, cause tho British lion, carnivorous blast
though he is, to open bis mout'i2 Can wo
not, by withholding tho sickle from those
fruitful crops that now wave iu our f Tula j
fields, cause tho cry of "Bread or blood" to
rise from the oppressed working-class j.s of j
ICngluud a cry which will culminate in tho .
overthrow of their haughty oppressors? Do '
we not owe our peace with France to the in- 1
vtutive genius of an Ktticssox ? Had we not '
our monitors would we have Nai'oleo.y for
our friend?
But America lias other claim t to greatness i
than her power. She has sons who, while whi
ning immortal honor for themselves, catt a
liiitre on the country of their birth. She hit
warriors, btutesmen, and authors of whom any
l:.ud might be proud. When some subjeclof
monarchy asks for her Napoleons and- her
Cuisars, she may with prida reply that sho
has noCicsars, no Napoleons, but that she hns
a Washington, a Tvrn am, a Scott, and a
GisAvr. Venice kept a golden book, In which
were inscribed tho names of her greatLSt citi

s ii A while in tho forum she ia ably repre

Clat, with bis burning eloquence, by tho
talented yet erratic Ha.nhoi.I'11. They are
the Chatham and MntAitK.vtj of Amn-ica.
In the walks of literature she has distin
guished sous. Is not every American proud
ol ruKsi'tiTr, of Bancroft, of Hcadi.kv,

her Viik.ii., her Cii.'Kito. Let every laud
hove Its planets in the galaxy of geuius; but
deny not to young America some star more
permanent than a comet's, some lutuiuary
more original than a satellite's, lu thy univor-
J sal firmament of mind
lint the brightest page of Ainer'ea's h's'ory
remuins yet to be wrilieu. After eiglity-ilvo
years of pence and pl"nty, years dining which
her soil w as but once polluted by thu foot oi
an armed enemy, and then an Indignant chas
tisement rewarded the daring invader, afiov
j so many years of happiness, she suddenly liuds
j bereell' lace to face with a powerful internal
foe. The question of peace and degradation
or w ur nnd honor w us presented for her choice.
Without poising lor nn instant to count the
amount of dollars r.nd cents iuvolved, that
nation which, foreign writers say, hits no God
but gold, rushed at once Into tho conflict on
the side of justice, of liberty, and right.
Let us puss over tho three yearn that suc
ceeded the attack on Sumter; let us
not record among the nation's jewels the
actions of the thousands of brave men wbo
have yielded up their lives In her defense. Let
us consider as no sign of power the million
who Lave gone, and the millions who are
ready to go, to protect our country's life ; but
letting ull these diets speak for themselves,
let us examine the position In which we stand
to-day, and see if we have lost our claims
to national greatness. The progress we have
made towards subduing this Itobelllon, not
withstanding ihe taunts of foreign foes and the
snt crs of Internal traitors, has been great. We
need not recount to the people who follow
with trembling hearts tliu niarch of every
army,and whouotc withjoy the victories gained
in (ej cry State, tho advantages we have ac
quired, and the States In which the Govern
ment rules supremo. We ull know of the vic

have Uilieu, and we all turn with anxious yet
hopeful gaze to the leader of the great armies
of the North. ...
