THURSDAY, DECEMREIt 20. 1800. The Nation's Lite and Progress. Thkuk is no (act which strikes the stu dent o( tlie political history ol our country with more torco than the constant aud Jrre HistibU1 tendency of the people towards lationnl unity. From 10 1:1, whun the fir: rude attempt at forming a Union was miili1. bj the New England colonies, down to 13'Jj, when the last desperate cllort of State sovereignty to vindicate itselt was thwarted !y the ualion in Its sovereign and miprema capacity, there has been a constant growth ot national life, t constant increase of na tional power, a constant approximation co a(ional unity. During their entire colonial existence the people of this country were, in lact, a consti tuent and orean'c portion of the British Em pire, but the necessities of their condition, their common dangers and wants, the con tiguity of the territory they inhabited, their mutual commerce, the Intermarriage of their children, their common language, and their common sufTerin?s from British tyranny, had already developed the germ ol a separate and vigorous national life. The outbreak of hos tilities at the commencement of the Revolu tionary War furnished the occasion for this new national iifo to reveal itself, and before the Declaration of Independence the people were alreaay acting through a common national organ the Continental Congress. The Declaration of Independence was a formal assertion of the fact of the national existence. As a nation the people 'ought the war of the lievoiution, and vindicated their independence. The instinct l union prompted to a more powerful and consistent Xational Government, and the Constitution of 11S7 was formed. And here, in the very opening sentence, the key-note of the whole instru ment was sounded " We the people of the United States." It was the national life as seiting its sovereignty in the creitioa of a great national organ of government. No wonder that the advocates of State sove reignty took the alarm when they read those Mgmficant words. " What right," said one ol them, " had the Convention to say, we the people instead of we the States? If the .States be not the agents of this compact, it aiust, be one great consolidated national government of the people of all the States." The development of our country since the adoption oi the Constitution has augmented the p wer ot the national liie. All our great physical enterprises have served to bind us together more firmly as one people. Every canal that has been dug, every railroad that bas been bu'lt, every telegraph line that has bt-eu erected, bas contributed towards our national unity. The progress of emigration, sweeping on from State to State, carrying the frontier and the border ever on, further and further towards the West, bas contributed to fuse the people into one homogeneous mass. National wants and national necessities have multiplied. National feeling and pride bave increased. At last, the great war of the Rebellion came upon us a direct attack upon the national integrity ar.d life. It was repplled and sub dued by the nation the true national life re vealing and vindicating itself in the most sublime and inspiring manner. From that conflict the people have come forth more firmly and indissolubly welded into national unity than ever before. The war, too, has served to develop many of those national ieatures in the Constitution which had before slumbered, or been but imperfectly realized. That instrument bas come to be regarded and interpreted in its true character, as the organic law of a nation not the compact of sovereign States. There is in this growth of national fepjing a tendency to conform all our institutions to the true germ of our national lite. That germ Is to be found in the doctrine of liberty and equality enunciated in the Daclaration ol Independence. Slavery was the deadly foe of all true nationality in our country. It was a sectional institution, founded upon piinciples openly a: war with our republican system. Its growth and progress involved the decay of the trua national idea. Its ex tendon and perpetuation would have revolu tionized the country, and founded a despotic oligarchy upon fie ruins of the republic. The overthrow of slavery demands that all Irs adjuncts and accessories its unequal aud disfranchising laws its system of taxation without lepresentation its iniquitous plan of representation in Congress in a word, its whole system shall bo overthrown also. The nation is now bound to realize 'ts true ideal. If to do this thi Coatitution needs amend ment, it must bu amended. The Nation " We the people" made the Constitution, am. the nation cua unmake it or remake it. It is absurd to suppose that the wisdom of all ages was exhausted by thoss who framed the Constitution. We wore then a nation of three mil ions; we are now a nation of thirty millions. New wants have arisen, fue national territory hu oxparlvl. LVsCtau bave revealed themselves. I'he nation has outgrown its swaddling-clothes, and uoads the apparel of manhood. It is the effort to prevent the realization ol the true national ideal that now agitates the country. The remnants of the old slave system still encumber the track of progresa. TIIE DAILY EVENING TKLEG K A TIT TRIPLE SIIEET. Tbo debris of the Rebellion is in the wav. All these things must and will be removed. The nation will not be thwarted in Its sub 1'me and holy purpose. Over all obstacles, despite all difficulties, it will move grandly on to Its destined end. Political Tbimbleiicrelnfr. Mn. Cowan made a long speech In the Senate on Tucrday, in regard to the condi tion of the Rebel States: "lie denim! the doctrine that tlm fitnte Gov ernments were dPRtrojed by tlie act of secession and asseitel that tt w subversive ol t'te prin ciples in on winch tlio Const'tution was torincd. A StMte was a corporation, limi'pd by t io chur rrr which created it. He would nsk the Senator irotn or.lo whether a 3'itte could r.immit irea aim ? Mr. Cow an a-ked whther the State could commit imy other crime, or do tt'iy other tiiiiri which Its cliiirl."r torba 'e f Could n H'.a'e reb'd? Thiu was lh ereat quest on now nsri tatinp the ountry. Th? oiliciHl- ot n Sta It si 4 no aiiiliont v n such oflieers to do that which whs lothhUk'ti b their Coiintitution and la am. ('' pomtions could not commit crime, whatever individual niiht do." Hie above is a pretty fair specimen of what passes for statesmanship" and a knowledge ol constitutional law in conservative quarters. 'lhc assumption that lies at tho bottom of all these fallacies is that a State cannot really do what it cannot legally do. A State cannot legally secede, rebel, make war upon the Union, or commit any other crime ; there fore, it cannot do it at all. A man'cannot legally commit murder; therefore, he cannot actually do it. A railroad corporation is restricted by it charter to running its trains at the rate of ten miles an hour ; therefore. It cannot, as a fact, run them at twenty. A steamboat cowij any is bound by law to keep a good life-preserver lor each passenger it may carry; therefore, it does keep them A bank is bound by its charter not to issue more than three dollars in currency lor every dollar in specie in its vaults ; therefore, it never does, as a fact, issue more than three to one. Humbug! There is not a day pas3es that corpoiations do not, as a matter of fact, transgress the requirements of their charters. Theie is not a day pas es that they do not steal, rob, lie, perpetrate injustice, aud com mit other crimes. When a steamship com pany sends au unseaworthy vessel to sea, with a short-handed and incompetent crew and, in consequence, she goes to the bottom of the ocean with all on board, has the com pany tho ''corporation" committed no " crime ?" When a railroad company keeps in its employ a notoriously drunken engineer, and the result is a ' smash up" involving the loss of life and limb, is the " crime" simply that of the agent, aud not of the principal ? When one State makes unjust war upon an other, ovenuns its territory and kills its citizens, Is the crime merely that of the blind instruments by which it is done? There was never a doctrine more corrupting in morals, or more false in law, than this one put forth by our repudiated Pennsylvania Senator. The late Rebel States could not legally "secede," but they did as a matter of fict. They could not legally wage war against the Union, yet their armies were not, on that ac count, a mere myth. They could not legally confederate together, yet they did do it. They could not legally coin money, emit bills of credit, grant letters of marque and reprisal, lay imposts, etc., yet, as matters of fact, they did do all these things. The Re bellion was a great fact ; the war to put it down was a great fact; and Mr. Cowan's- metaphysical platitudes will not make them anything else than facts. Mr. Cowan brings forward his theory for a certain object. That object is to preserve the Rebel State Governments. Hence, he asserts that the Rebel States could not rebel, commit treas m, or perpetrate any other crime. All that was done was mere individual action. But ere long, lorgetting the Kebel States in bis solicitude for the BcbeU theimeloes, ho unconsciously cuts tho throat of Ids theory. He says : "Citizous of tho Southern States could not be punished tor treason, because they yi'lded obedunce to their State Government when the general Government afforded them no protec tion or means ol resistance." In answer to a question from a Democratic Senator "Whether a citizen ol South Carolina, which State had seceded, and had loag protected uim aeuiiist the compulsion of tbo Federal Govern ment, could even, though he hud been whlmi? to rebel, be punished lor treason, Mr. Cowan said, 'Certainly not.'" Here we bave tho ond'ttion of things exactly reversed. The State is now the authoritative party, and not the citizen. The citizen, even though ho wage3 war against tlie Union, cannot be guilty of treason, because he commits it in obedience to the State I When the State Government is to bo shielded, then It is the citizen that does every thing; when the citizen U to bo shielded, then it Is tho State that does everything. We cannot hold the State responsible, be cause the Rebellion is the work of indi' viduals; we canuot puni9h the citizen for treason, because he simply obeys bis Slate. Convenient theory 1 We kuow that there bas been a tremendous reb llion, and that a long and bloody war has been waged against tlie republic ; but nobody is responsible. Our conservative thimblerlgger is so dexterous that justice cannot detect the criminal. Sho beholds him dodgins, now under the citizen and now under tlie State, but can never lay her mailed hand upon him, and drag him forth to judgment. And it is upon just such miserable fallacies as thee that the entire conservative fabric is based. It violates com mon sense as much as it dies common jus tice. Tho ereat misses ot tho people turn away in distjust from ull this conservative lug plry nnd tuimbletlgginr. The Rebellion was too serious a matter to bo tbu3 easily disposed of. Mr. Cowan may spend the re mainder of his term of office In these displays of political legerdemain, but, fortunately, after tho 4th of March next, tho State ot Penn sylvania will no longer be misrepresented by one whoso treachery to principle Is only equalled by his quackery In statesmanship. From all future Inflictions of this sort may the good Lord deliver us! The Ncbiaskn Case. Thk bill for the admission of Nebraska was further discussed in the Senate yesterday. There is a division of se.itlment among the Republicans lu regard to Insisting upon the elimination of the word "white" from the Constitution of tho proposed State as a pre requisite to her adiuissiou. Our own view Is that it Is best to make a clean record on this matter. It will be butter for Nebraska herself to have thatqucstion rightfully settled now. Disfranchisement on accouut ol color is unjust, anti republican, and demoralizing. Congress should lend it no tanction, eveu by implication. The right of a State to regulate the elective franchise docs not necessarily in volve the right to permanently disfranchise its citizens at will, and to any extent. If it did, then any State might, at wi'l, make birth with'n its own limits a qualification for vot ing, nnd thus disfranchise all citizens born In other States, or confine the exercise ot the elective franchise to a dozen men and their descendants lotever, thus creating an aristo cracy. Tlie right to regulate implies only the rieht to regulate in accordance with tlie piiuciples of a republican form of govern ment. Tho precedent maj as well be established now, that no State can hereafter obtain ad m'ssion to the Union with any despotic or imti-republican features in its Constitution. A Neglect nt Once to be Remedied. AVE desire to call tlie attention of the Mayor, or probably the Firo Marshal, to the lact that no steps have been taken to prevent the various fire-plugs freezing up during the coming cold weather. None of the ordinary precautions bave been taken to render them secure. It bas always, heretofore, been the custom of the authorities to cover the plugs with straw and sawdust, and, by this means, even on the coldest nights, tho firemen ex perience no difficulty in procuring a stream ol water. But unless some such careful ar rangements are made, we cannoi doubt but that the cng'tcs will be made useless by the freezing of all iheir supplies of water. Large fires, vastly destructive of life and property, occur during every season, and, without the aid ol the fire apparatus, no one can calculate how far they would spread. Tne present neglect is a criminal one, and we hope t hat the immediate attention ami action ol the au thorities will remedy what seems to us a deliberate darine of Providence. RISTOKI AS "I.A.DY MAC1IETH." The attempted rendition into Italian, by GiulioCascano, ol Shakespeare's sublime tragedy of A'ac'jelh is a complete abortion, resultine only in a mutilated semblaue.e of one of the grandest efforts of the immortal bard, which ex hibits not one einsle spiirk of tb? original Ufa or spirit. Any attempt to construe into a lurcigii tongue tho peculiar ioioiinii; and inversely constructed blank verses of a poet whose nieiuiiha is often singularly recoudiles, rcquiiinu the deepest research even from miuds to whom the linnnaze, though "native-born,'' is ever revealing n prolbunder mystery of mean ing, must ever end in u "most la i.e and impo tent conclusion." In the ciiaruc'ci of "La ly Macbeth," Ristori, with all her genius, has failed to irra?p the do minant spirit ot that unllinchiiiiuid unquailin uiaster-mlnd'wliose heavy crimes bear such a grand biiblimity ot unswerving purpose that we forget to condemn, and only feel a still and fearlul admiration. In the sleep-walking scene alone, Ristori reaches to a subtle interpretation of the darkly working heart, w hich, keeping ever its nlood stained record, with wary, resolute hand, from the prying eyes ot friend or foe, let out in sleep the terrible tale of guilt, eating, vulture-like, into the soul, thatuunionuiuglyotl'eisitsMoloch tubute, "death without outcry." Itistoii's line conception and perfect rendition of this most difficult scene redeemed the entire pliiy. Here she was again the great artist, and with this "well kept picture in the brain," we can allord to loieet the shortcomings and muti lated text that made us almost marvel that the buried biwd could sleep so quietly and know his bondiwork so mauftled ! The s!e en scene of many portions of the play was excellent. The banquet s"ene wa; well and clleetively managed. 'Macbeth' was loo spasmodic too lull of melo-driniatic ges ticulation, nnd i lie voice of the prompter was constantly as loud as that of the dramatis persona. Wc could not understand why, at more than one exit, Ristori chose to be draugedo' by "Mac-iM-th." The superior mind ot the wiie of the Thanes ot Cawdor is the resistless i:iotive power which compels the weak and vacillating nature of "Macbeth" to dniW deeds it shrank from with abhorrence. The Italian translation of this tragedy cau convey no idea to the mind of any artist of a single character worth mentioning. Heuc, th'i result is a most li.mentnble failure: the more to be rruvettcd, as the reprrtore of ltitorl oilers sullicleut scope and variety to enable her to leove Slinkenpearc at. peace in his vernacular.
