Kr Suffrage Ilerom mended Reliance Cpoai CongrtM, The message of Governor Brownlow to the Tennessee Legislature creates considerable ex citement, We present the following extracts: At yoor extra session in July last, in the face f the direct opposition of the Federal Admlnis tratton, and in dellatioe of its power and tatroBtge, you milled the p-ndmg amendment to the fcdertUonstiHuioo. Tho loval pooplo of l,f waV0. h?ve ,al'Proved the wisdom and ap plauded the learlessnes ot jour course, and the Congress of the United States signified their ap .i 0n byT,8t oncft rt,l"ttinB to thetr seats souchoscn Representatives, thus restoring to our State ull the riphts and relations that had people 01 dl,t"roetl .V he rebellion of our True, you have been abused und denounced y ii ..lrcs,ilBt hnd his present folio arnrs: wfille those who endeavored by rovoititiotMty hcib to destroy vonr onranization have been honored and rewarded, yet you have enjoyed the approbation ot your own conscience, ami received the plaudits of the patriotic of tho nation, and may well go on in tho een tenor of your way. guided alone by a sense of duty Haying in thin distinciiihhed manuer aflivcd the seal oi your approbation to thisninendment.it Is proper 1 hat you should mould your legislation to u ph it and dr-sicn. Wh'lo it is true tnat i endraent leaves with the States, as here tolore, the regulation of th" elective franchise. iu Is equally true that they encourage the (.iiitaiichisement ot all loyal mule citizens l whatever color. Our own urate, lor ini stance, under the operations of the amendment, without the enfranchisement of the colored ' citireus, will have but six Representatives, while, with impartial loval huHi-iu u uiated that she would have nine, truis increasing her power in the councils of the nation titty per ' ?eutnIn m messKC addressed to you in Octo ber, I860, the subject of colored suiirage is dw cussed in all its bearings. Upon a careful re view of that paper, I still approve the sentiments therein expressed, and respectfully refer you to them. An eventful year, however, has passed , since it was written: and while unforeseen events have happened, contingencies therein contemplated have also occurred. The cjlored race have shown a great. aptitude for learning and intelligence than was expect-d, and by their good conduct and steadfast loyalty have rapidly won upon the good opinion und respect ot the white race; while the late Hebels, under tbo emsoumgeuicnt ot the Presi dent, have shown les disposition to return to true loyalty than was hoped lor. These mani fceiauons have occasioned a rapid advancement t the national sentiment in favor of impartial sutlrage. In the message to which I have alluded, while candidly admittimr that 'neo-rn votinw cannot eut my natural prejudices ot caste," it is yet Btatfd that -'there is a class ot them I would be willing to see vote at once." The opinion is also expressed "that negro suffraee is bound to follow as on- of the great results of the Rebellion; and that the turn-would come when it would tie proper and risbt," but that the time had not then come, the preiit objection being to ' the immediate and indiscriminate enfranchisement ot the neirroe-,;" but it is directly insisted in the message to wlii h I leter, that "it Rebels are to be restored to the rights of eleeiive franchise, let u no longer deny those political ri'-hts to the slaves who have ben faithful among the faithless." J stili ndhere to the opinion that "all this great outcry against a negro toting in auy contingency, comes from a lingering sentiment of disloyalty' tn the South. In all the States lately in rebellion, exept Ten nessee, the Rebels have been tally restored to the rights of the elective franchise;" and even in our own State, under 11 somewhat stringent fcKffrage law, a large number 01 tlHoval persons are unavoidably allowed to vote. Whether the tune ha rouie when it is "proper and right" to confer the ballot upon the colored man, or whether that time is approaching at whica the sacred right shall accrue to him, are questions demandingiyour earnest consideration and dual decision. The admirers and followers of the President cannot, with any Bhow of consistency, oppose the enfranchisement ot the negrj. In an authorized and anproved statement f his opinion, made public by his direction, long Bince his accession to the Presidency, he declares that it he were "in Tennessee he would endeavor to introduce negro suffrage." He de clares that he would beam with three classes of negroes to be admitted to vote at once: "Those who had served in the army; those who could read and write; and those having a property tinalincation of $200 or f 250." Thus, by a sys tem not very gradual, he desired to extend tho privilege to the entire raee. If what is termed the radical party in the legislature shall acrree with the President and his followers on the question ot negro suffrage, it would seem that i an excellent opportunity tor agreement and con ciliation on a vexed question will be presented, and that the negro may be enfran chised with unanimity. As for myself, while I have confet-sed to those preju dices of caste, resulting troni education &nd lifelong habits, I am free to say that 1 desire to act in harmony with the great body of the loyal people of the Union. I think we should not, without great And controlling rea sons, sever ourselves from that great national party whose wisdom and courage saved the life of the nation, and rescued the loyal people of Tennessee from the hands of the oppressor. The franchise law, passed on the 3d of May last, is not 3 et fully in operation. Registers have been ippointed in all of the eounties of the State, but many of them have not completed their labors and made their reports. As fast as they have done no, I have ordered elections in compliance with tha provisions of the luw. I am happy to state tb it the registers have been neutrally faithiul and firm in tbe discharge of their Important duty. Kxeept In the city of Nashville, the late special elections seem to have been held substantially in accorJ ance with the law. in this city I am informed that but tew of the Judtres and clerks of the municipal election, or ot tne successful candi dates for the principal ofliees, complied with the law by taking the important, oath set forth in the third section. It will be your duty to pro vide a remedy for similar violations ot the law in the future. You are iresh from your constl tuentB, and have had better opportunities than I have had to observe the operations of the la. As vour session Droercsses. you will learn still more of its workings. As no future Legislature can act upon this vital subject, it will be your duty to perfect tho law with the utmost cure. This law was not parsed lrom vindictive or malevolent motives; but in self-defence to pro tect the loyal people from oppression and the Btate irom misrule. The spirit and genius of republican institutions demand that every citizen should be allowed to vote who may do so consistently with the safety if the Government. If there be classes dis franchised by the present law, who are worthy t the privilege, jou should restore them; ana if there be classes enfranchised who are un worthy, you should restrict them. If you are tatisned that in process of time the disfran oblsed class will became good citizens by learn ing to respect loyalty, you may fix a limit to the operation of the law by naming some day In the luture when its restrictions shall wholly or partially ease. At all event, you should before your adjournment, see, if possible, that the law i eoeh a to need no further uniend- Tl!!av already alluded, vfitb. pleasure, to lh rraeral disposition of the masses of our ' pewle to pursue Uwlx peaceful "MftMoaa.rad tut lor the sad experience of 1861.

I am happy to announce to you, officially, that since vour last adjournment, when the President had not only abandoned us, but. as I have reason to tiotiWn ,... . 1. overthrow of the Stat- (Joveinment, the Cou gress ot the United States, by joint resolution, have so emnly recognized it, and declared it Ui be the lawful Government, of the State of Ten nesee, and have admitted our Representatives and Senators to their seaw. and our noble State has resumed all its relations to the Amricau Union. In the strugale which yet awaits us we can look alone to the great body of the loyal American people to sustain and protect us. In this connection I congratulate you and the country ou the recent triumph at the ba.lot-box in the loyal States ot souud u ttional principles as repiH.,ented by Congress, over ihe insane policy ot the President. The victorv was obtained by the Union oeople over party consisting of a combination of Rebls at tho South and traitors at the North, -sustained oy the poAcr and patronage of the President. As it was decided in t he neld.in the great mill: arvstrug clcs, that this nation shall live, so it has been decided at the ballot-box that loyal meu alone shall govern it. The great heart of the loyal people is in sympathy with us; and they will re quire represen;atives to sustain us against the assaults of Rebels at home or the usurpation ot an unscrupulous President. The loyal peoples, in advance 01 their leaders, have declared that the Government shall not pass into the hands of its enemies, and thatthe people otthc rebellious States, who labored for lour year9 to destroy the Government, shall not be restored to fellowship In the Union without proper guarantees for the future satety of the country. It has been, more over, determined at the ballot-box in the loyal States thatthe loyal men North and South shall be protected; that the basis of representation throughout the Union shall be equal; that leadin" and malignant traitors shall not hold office; that the doors of Conuress shall not be opened to blood-stained Rebels, merely because the Presi dent ao orors; and also, that the President has no right to set up a po.icy In opposition to the policy inaugurated by the representatives of the people in abort, that "traitors shall take back seats" and "treason shall be made odious." Thus the sky brightens to the loyal men of the La Hon so recently cast down by the afflictions of war. DuriDg the dark days of tho Rebellion their enemies laughed at their calamities. Sincu peace came, r faithless txecutive sought to betray them into the hands of those same ene. mie-". But the right has triumphed. Those great trials und afflictions which we endured for tour years have worked out for the republic "afar more exceeding and eternal weight of glory." The late great struggle exhibited her immense power and vat resources, and placed her where she will stand throughout recorded time, in the front rank of the naval aud mili tary powers of the earth.

The parties in tbi Citv, ena-aired in collecting the boads of the Irish Republic, issued by the Head Centre of the Circles oi the Fenian Brotherhood, from timj to time, dur ing tbe past year, for the purpose of hodinir tue parties issuinsr them responsible for the amounts whl mett with unexpected d fficulties. ' It is said that tbis movement bas been Inaugu rated for the purposo of ascertaining where the money has gone to who conceived the ides of raisina an Irisu fund who put the oheme in opera, tion, and ascertain, If possible, tho purposes to wnich the money has been applied. Thousands ot those wbo contributed their hard earnings to assist tbe "men in the sap," now leei that they have boen made the victims of designing men, and demand a legal Investigation; but there is a difference ot opinion in some Fenian quarters as to tbe pol.cv of tins step, and as to tne loiul liability ot tbe parties. Some of those who demand their money back u'jre that it was obtained under false pretences 'ibose wbo are still hoping to see tne independence ot Ireland realized contend that there nas teen no fraud practiced whatever. It will be remembered tbat tho bonds themselves bear upon their taoe the stipulation they are not pryable until "after the establishment of the Irish republic" and it is unon tbis ground tbat the issuers ol tbe bonds expect to defeat tbo prosecutors, lbe securities, it will aho be urged, were issued in good faith, and the takers aooeptod them in the same spirit. f ue conrts will have a nioe question to decide, however, when it is shown tbat these bonds wore issued lor the purpose ot invading a country with which toe United btates are at peace. On this account they may be invadd, as it is not likely tbe courts would make anv decision conflicting with tbe neutrality laws. Others urge, with a good deal of reason tbat the money exohangod tor these bonds was simply a donation, and at the same time never expected to be refunded. The whole matt rwiil get into our courts soon, and ft remains to be seen if tbe bondholders ot he Irish itopub io have any remedy. The amount of bonds dupoed of m this e ty daring tbe Fenian ex cltomentls not less than 100,000. Too Much Water.

A case of considerable interen to commercial men is to come belore the Canadian courts uext i.ionth. It appears that Dun. Wiruaufc Co., pro l.rietors of tbo Mercantile Aoadeinv in Canada (tae Mime firm as K. fi. Hun k Co., iu the United .-states, Philadelphia Office No. 33 S. Ihird street), are Book ing in a court ot chancery an iejunctiou against a rival establishment, known as J. M.

LIGHTS 1D SHADOWS OF CITY LIFE. iLT? reached by Rv. t. De Witt Talmage on th "Abomi nations of Philadelphia." at tho Church, Seventh and Brown streets, on 8unday Even ing, Novem ber li. SI-KCIAL I-HOBOBAPBIC KKFOUT WR tRf MB1.. IHO TELlOBAFH l v. The first of a series of sermons on the above subject, by Rev. T. De Witt Talmage, was deli vered in the churck, Seventh and Brown streets la.t evening. As early as quarter to 7 o'clock th church was nearly ffllel, and by 74 not a seat could be obtained. Benches, chairs, stools, and every available means was called Into use, but notwithstanding every effort, a great many were compelled to depart minus the trreat lito rary treat. It is estimated there were about sixteen hundred penous present. Previous to the sermon the hymn, "V aU-hman, tell us of the night." was sung, the audience all standing. The spleudid effect of tbis simple and beautiful hymn would have called forth manifestations of approbation, bad not the proprieties of public worship prevented. After the singing the preacher proceeded with the diHcoursc, announc ing the following text: "Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is ol ancient days V' Isaiah xxiii, 7. rrltle of city is natural to men In all times, if they live or have lived iu a metropolis noted lor dignity and prowesH. Osar exulted In tne mention of his native Kome, Ljcurgus of Wpnrta, Virgil ot Audes, Demosthenes of Atnens. Archimedes of Syracuse, and Paul of Tarsus. You would suspect a man of biue-hcar-.edness who earned about with him no feoliDg of com placency 111 regard to the city of hU tesidence who gloried nor in its arts or arin or Christian behavior, who looked with no exultation upon its schools and churches, and artistic embellish ment ami scleutiUc attainments. Men never like the place In which they have behaved badly. 1 do not think that Swarthout liiel New Yorit nor Dr. Parkmun Boston; nor do the poplsj who take their morning ride in the rity van like Philadelphia. When I see Argoa, Rhodes Smyrna, Chios, Colophon, mid several other cities claiming Homer, 1 conclude that Homer was well bebavod. Our citizens will never be condemned for a lack of interest in their place of residence. We are oiten told in other cities that Phila lelphlans are proverbially proud. They say we never get tireci of talking about the "Mint" and "Inde pendence Hall" und "Oirard Colleae." They think we are the most intensely satisfied people in all the world, and muuy a biiltiunt period about Paueuii Hall nnd Boston Common, or Ceutral Park and Madihon Square, is rounded off with a eiaccful lamentation about the tact th-ti Phtladelphians aie so very proud of their citv 1 hey say we are incorriaibl, and never will be cured ot white shutters and marble stops. Now. we step to muko no retort. But In this eourse of sermons on the "Ai.ominutions of Philadelphia," wln-h will make a very dark picture, I want nt the outset to show you that I am not wanting in appreciation of the advan tages ot the place in which we live. No city ever had a more eventful history, in the one hundred and seventy-four years of its exigence it lias passed throueh many changes. It has been smiled upon of prosperity und shadowed with adversity, bleed with order and crossed with riots, roused up to great commercial activity and stunned by the blow of financial d Lsaster advanced by arehitectural ingenuity and swept over by all-destroying coiillagratiou. But iu tho main its matcn has been upward. A stout Kuglishmnn looked up into the face ot his king, and said he would worship (Jod in his own wuy. Forthwith, a ktnrm c cution swept him out to sea, and he slipped HIIIOIIU TUP lllillnna ut HI....

She took It in her arms, and the child crew and waxed stronn and the ships of foreign lanuV brouht their gold and sp ecs to its leet, and stretching itself ud into the proportions of a metropolis, it has looned up to the mountains and off upon the ea, one of the mt-htiest ot the energies of Am: rlcan civilization. . Now the character of the founder of a city will be seen for many years in its inhabitants. Knmuliis impreshed his lite upon Rome; the iioiiuuuers sun wieia an influence over New l ork; the Pilgrims relax not their hold of tha cities of New Knirlaud; William Pena has left this place an inheritance of integrity and lair dealing, and any day you see all about you. In manners, and customs, and principles, his tastes, bis hat, his coat, bis wife's bonnet, and his plain meetiug-houi-es. Other cities may lift more glittering domes Into the sunlight, and show street of erander architecture, und turn out longer lines of Hash ing equipage, and tempt richer cargoes to their custom-houses; but notwithstanding all this, you look in vaiu upon tbe map of tbe world, or the pages of history, for any city that has main tamed a hlpber reputation for morals and phi lanthropy than your own. What Southern thoroughfare was ever smitten of pestilence where our physicians did rot throw themselves upon tbe sacriiloe 1 What distant land has cried out in the agonies of famine, and our ships have not put out with breadstutl's? What street of Damascus, or Bejrout, or Madras has not heard the step of our missionaries r What struggle for national life in which our citizens have not poured their blood into the trenches t What gallery 01 exquisite art in which our painters have not hung their pictures f What depart ment of literature and science tn whiok ... tcholars have not contributed t What city holds on iU historic acroll more illustrious names than Riltenbouse among avtionoaiers, thau Pitch and Fulton among Inventors, than Deeatur among heroes, than Robert Morris among financiers, than Bishop White among eoelesias- . tical worthies, than Llndley Murray among grammarians, than West among painters, than , Rush among physicians, tuan Girard among philanthropists, than Kane among explorers f -And though our slowness and caution have sometimes been caricatured by our sister cities, we still rejoice in the fact that, notwithstanding much in our city that ought to be rectified, bbe has never yet disgraced herself by sending a brawling, nefarious pugilist to Congress. I need not speak to you ol our Public Schools, which have now under tboir benedictions about eighty thousand chUdren, and expending in their education between six and seven hundred thousand dollars per year, and the High Schools, where, to revel in the loftiest sciences, the children of the cordwainer and milkman and glass-blower go up to stand by tha flattered sons of our merchant-prtnees; or apeak of the Naval Asylum, where the old servant of the flag, weary with tossing on the sea and snuffing the smoke of battle, comes to He dowa on tbe soft couches and wander under Ue trees and among the grass-plots t,n the Uiiks of tbe frbujlkill; or of tha
