Jl Ail FIRST EDITION "ARE WE A 3STATIOH P" Mr. gimur at tha Vaoptr Institutes JVom A Aew J'orA paper of lo-day. Last evening Hon. Charles Sumner lectured before a large and very appreciative audience at the Cooper Instllnie. ile appeared on the occasion UDder the auspices of tue Young Mon'a Republican Union, and chose for his subjuotf which he treated at great length, and with bis usual ability "Are We a Nation?" The meet ing was presided over by the President of the Association, who Introduced the orator of the evening to his numerous audience In a few ap propriate remarks. Mr. Sumner, la coming forward, was very warmly greeted, and having bowed bis acknowledgments several times, pro seeded with bis address, as follows: Mr. President: At the clone of a bloody Re bellion, Instigated by hostility to the sacred principles of the Declaration of ndependeuoe, and Inaugurated In tue name of Btate rlguts, it becomes ua now to do what we canto provide that theee sacred prluciples snail not again be called In iuentlou,and that the fatal preteuaiou of IState rights shall not again disturb the na tional repose. Oue lerilbie war Is more than enough; and since, alter struggle, peril, and sacrifice, where every household has beeuasuf ferer, we are at last victorious, It Is uot too iiimh to insist on all possible safeguards for the futuie. The whole case must be settled now. The constant duel between the nation aud the Blales must cease. The national unity must be assured in the only way wlneu Is practical aud honest through the prluciples declared by our fathers, and luwovan into the national life. In one word, the Declaration of Independence must be recognized as a fundamental law, and Btate rights, in all their deuat loualizing preten sions, must be trampled out iorever, to tue eud that we may be lu reality as lu name a nation. ARE WU NATION ? Are we a nation? Such is thequestlou which I now propose, believing us 1 do tuat the whole case Is involved in the answer. Are we a na tion? Then must we have that essential, la detlrucilule unity which belongs to a nation, with all those ceulral pervasive powers which minister to national life; then must we have that central necessary authority, inherent in Just government, to protect the citizen la all the rights ol citizenship: aud then must wo have tnai other central inalienable prerogative of provldiug for the performance of all the pro nilsessolemuly made when we first claimed our place as a nation. Words are sometimes tulngs, and I cannot doubt that our country would gain in strength and our people lu comprehensive patriotism if we discaided lauguage which la itself Implies certain weakness aud possible disunion. Pardon me If I confess that I have never reconciled myself to the use of the word "Federal" Instead or "national." To my mind our Government is not Federal, but national; our Constitution is not Federal, but natloual; our courts under the Constitution are not Fede ral, but national; our army is not Federal, but national. There is one instance where this misnomer does not occur. The debt of our eountry is always national perhaps beoause this term promises la advance additional secu rity to the anxious creditor. Liberty aud equality are as much as dollars and cents; they should be natloual also, and enjoy the same security. LONGING FOB UNION AMONG THE COLONIES. Efforts for a common government on this side of the ocean soon showed themselves. Tue Pilgrims landed In Plymoutn in MM. as early as l4ii, only twenty-two years later, there was a coniederatlon under "the United Colonies of Hew England," formed primarily for the com mon uelense; and here Is the first Btage ot na tionality on this continent, tn the preamble to the articles the parties declare; "We, tuere fore, do conceive it our bouuden duty, without delay, to enter Into a present consociation among ourselves for mutual help aud streugtu la 11 our future concernments, that,- as lu nation and religion, so, secoudly, la tue com mon rlghlsof citizenship oo-exteuslve with, the colonics, and the cousequent rlDls of every colony in every other colony." The colonies grew In population and power. Mo longer merely scattered settlements, they began to aot a part la history. Anxious especially against French domination, which already existed la Canada, aud was extending along the lakes to the Mississippi, they came toetuer in Congress at Albany in 1751 to take measures for the common defense. Delegates from seven colonies were present, being from all north, of the Potomac. Here the genius of Benjamin Franklin prevailed. A plau was presented by this master mind, providing for what was called "a general Uovernmeut," administered by a "President General," where each oolouy Should have representatives la proportion to its contributions, MasHaohuselts and Virginia having seven each, while New York bad only four; and the first meeting of the "general Gov ernment" was to be at Philadelphia. Hoaroely ten years passed before this same yearning for a common life appeared again la the Coloal&l Congress at New York, cou veued la 1705. oa the recommendation of Massacuusetts, to arrest the tyranny of the Stamp Act, and assaults upon the common liberties. Nine colonies were represented, and after deliberation tUey united in a declaration or rignts common to an. tiere was the inspiration of James Otis, the youthful orator of freedom, whose tongue of flame had already flashed the cry, "Taxation without re orientation is tyranny," and that other cry worthy of perpetual memory, "Equality and the power of the whole without distinction of color." Buch were the voices that heralded our nation. TBJt XmCLABATION OF INDEPENDENCE MADE A NEW NATION. Independence was declared. Here was an not which, irom beginning to end, In every par ticular, and In all Its Inspirations, was na tloual. stamping upon the whole people unity in the support of human rights. It was done in the name and by authority of the good people of these colonies," oal led at the begin nlng "one people;" and It was entitled "Decla ration by the Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, without a word of separate sovereignty. As a national act it has two distlnot features Hrstj as a severauco of the relations between the "united colonies" and the mother coun try; and, secondly, as a declaration of self-evident truibu on which this severnnoo was Justified, and the new nation was founded. It Is the "united colonies" that are deolared to be free and independent States; and this act Is Justified by the sublime declaration that all are cre ated eaual. with certaiu inalienable rights, and tuat to secure these rights governments are instituted among men, deriving their Just now rs frem the consent of the governed. Here was that "American Commonwealth, the image of natloual uulty, dedloated to human 7 ..!... I.O. onuhiniMl the vision of the early patriot, as he sought new safeguards for liberty. Here was a nation, with new promises .minn.ni. ....ti nu had never been made before. The constituent authority from wh oh it proceeded was "the 'people." Tue rights which it piotnlned aud covenanted were the equal rights ot all; not the rights of kngllsh men. but tue rlifhLs or man. It was on this ao- oonnt that our nation became at ouoe a source of light to the world. Well might the sun have stoc a null on that day to witness a kindred luminary as it asoended into the sky. THE NATIONAL CONSTITUTION. It Is needless to dwell on its features, all so well known; but there are certain points whlolt must not be disregarded now. There Is espe cially the beglnniiiK. Next after tbe opening words of tbe Declaration of Independence, the opening words of the Constitution are the frandeut lu blntory. They sound like a majes lo overture, tit prelude to the transcendent harmonies of nat loual life on a theatre of un exampled proportions. Though familiar, they einnot be loo often repealed; for they are la themselves an ass'.tranoe of popular rights and au epitome of natloual duties. "We, the peo ple of the United Htates, In order to form a more perfect union, eslabtiKh Justice, Insure tfnraestle tranquillity, provlds for the ooramoa &u, promote, tbe geusrai wifJfCi ami f. cure the blessings of liberty to nnrsetvee. and our posterity, do ordain and establish, this O in stitution tor tbe United Htates of America." Thus by the peiple of tbe United States wai tho ConNtitutlon ordiilued and established; not by the Biates, nor even by the people of tin several Kiett-s, but by tbe people of tlie United States In their aggregate individuality. NATIONAL FLAG. There is the national flt. He must be cold Indeed who can look upon its folds rlpn lng lu the breeze without pride of oountry. If be be In a foreign land, the flag is companion ship and country Itself, with all Its endear ments. Who, as he sees it, can think of a 8 ate merely? Whose eyes, once fastened upon Us raolant trophies, can fall to reoognlze tbe image of the whole nation? It has been called a "floallDg piece of poetry," and yet I know not if it bav an Inlrinslo beamy beyond other ensigns. Its highest beauty is in what it sym bolizes. It is because it represent all, that ail gaze at it with delight and reverence. It Is a piece of bunting lifted In the air; but It speaks sublimely and every part has a voice. Its stripes of alternate red and white proclaim the original union of thirteen States to rn Untaln the Declaration of Independence. Its stars of while on a Held of blue proclaim that union of States constituting our national constellat ion, which receives a iiewstar with every new .state. Tbe two together signify union past and pre sent. The very colors have a language which was officially r cognl.ed by our fathers. White is for purity, red for valor, blue for Justice. And all together, bunting, stripes, stars, and colors blazing in the sky, make tbe flag of our country, to be cherished by all our hearts, to ba upheld by ull our hands. NATIONAL MOTTO. - There Is next the natloual motto, as It ap peals on tbe national seal, and on tbe national money. A common seal and common money are signs of national unity. In each tue supreme sovereignty of the nation is manliest. Tbe first Is like tbe national flag, and stands for the nation, especially In treaties with foreign powers. The second Is a national con venience, If not necessity, which takes its dis tinctive character from the nation, so that everywhere it Is a representative of the nation. Each has the same familiar motto, E pluribut Vnum, a Latin phrase, which sign I lies From many One. Its history attests Its significance. On the 4th of July, 1770, tbe very day of Independence, Benjanntn Franklin, John Adams, ana Thomas Jefferson were appointed a committee to preparea device for a great seal. They were the identical com mittee that bad already reported the Declara tion of Independence Itself. Their report on the seal was made 10th August, 177G; aud here we first meet the national motto, which U In such entire harmony with the Declaration by which we were made "one people." Questions of detail intervened, and no conclusion was reached until 15th June, 1782, when the present seal was adopted, being the American bald eagle, with the olive branch in one talon and a bundle of thirteen arrows in the other, and in bis beak a scroll bearing the Inscription Epluri but Vnum. NATIONAL NAME. There is next the national name, which of itsell implies national unity. The States are not merely allied, associated, coalesced, con federated, but they are united, and tbe consti tution, formed to secure a more perfect union. Is "for the United States of America," wblcu term was used as the common name of the nation. But there was still another national designation, accepted at borne and abroad. Our country was called America," Here was a natural, unsought, and instructive name a growth and not even a creation implylug national unity and predominance. If not exclu sive power, on the continent. It was not used occasionally or casually, but constantly; not merely in newspapers, but in official doou menu. Not an address of Congress; not a mili tary order; not a speech which does not contain this term, at once so expansive aud so unify ing. At the opening of the first Continental Congress Patrick Henry, In another mood from that of a later day, announced the national unity under this very name. After declaring the boundaries of the several colonies effaced, aud tbe distinctions between Virginians, Peun sylvanians, New Yorkers, and New Englanders as no more, he exclaimed la words of compre hensive patriotism, "I am not a Virginian, but an American." Congress took up the strain and commissioned Washington as Oommander-in-Chief of tbe armies "for the defense of American liberty;" and Washington himself, in bis first general order at Cambridge, ou at-suming his great command, announood that the armies were "for the defense of the liberties of America;" and In a letter to Congress Just before the battle of Trenton he declared that lie bad labored "to discourage all kinds of local attachments and dlstlno thousof country, denominating the whole by the greater name of Amerioa." It is not im possible that, in the lapse ot lime, history will vindicate tbe name adopted by Washington, wblcb may grow as the Republic, until it be comes theuatural designation ol one country. Our fathers used this term more wisely than they knew; but they acted under Providential guidance. Is it not said of God that He has given names to the stars, "calling them by the greatness of His might?" Is It not said, also, that God will make him who overcoraeth a pil lar in the temple and give him "a new name?" So as our stars multiply, and the nation over cometh its adversaries, persuading all to Its de clared principles, everywhere on the continent, it will become a pillar in the temple, and the name of the oonilaent itself will be needed to declare alike its unity aud Its power. G EOGB AFHIG AL UN ITT. Tn tviA nnuiea" derived from history and tbe heart of the people may be added another where nature Is the great teacher; I refer to the geographical position and configuration of our country, li uot oi iuu wuum wuuuou,, iui& lng it for one natlou. Unity Is written upon It by tbe Almighty Hand. In this respect. It dif fers much fiom Europe, where for generations seas, rivets, and mountains kept people apart who bad else, "like kindred drops, commingled Into one." There Is no reason why they should not commingle here. Nature lu every form is propitious. Facility of Intercourse, uot less than common advantage, louds to unity; but these are ours. Here are navigable rivers, numerous and famous, being so many highways of travel, aud a chain of lakes, each an Inland sea. Then there is au unexample extent of oountry adapted to railways; and do not forget that with the railway is the telegraph, using the lightning 88 its messenger, so fiat the lnlerro eatoi v of Job 1 answered, "Canst thou send lightnings that they may go?" The oountry is oue open expanse from the frozen Arctic to the warm waters of the Gulf, and from the Atlauilo to the Rocky Mountains, and there science alrevdv sunnlies the means of overcoming this harrier, which In other days would have marked International boundaries. The Paulflo Railway will neutralize these mountains, and complete tbe geographical unity of the coutl nent. Tnesleuder wire of the telegraph, when once extened, Is an indissoluble tie; the rail way Is an iron band. But these depend upon opportunities which nature supples, so that na ture herself Is one of the guardians of our na tionality. Our country was planned by Provi dence lor a united aud homogeneous people. Apparent differences harmonize. Even climate, wnlcb passes through all gradations from the North to tbe South Is so teih-iered as to present an eiiny uniformity from the Atlantic lo the Rocky Mountains. Unmeasured supplies of all kinds, mineral aud agricultural, are at hand; the richest ores aud the most golden crops, with the largest coal fields of the world below, and the largest corn fields of tbe world above. Htrabo said of ancient Gaul that, by its struc ture, with its vast plains and considerable rivers, it was destlued lo become the theatre of a great civilization. Rut the structure of our country Is more auspicious. Our plains are vaster and our rivers aro more considerable, furnlsiiiuR a theatre grander than auy ima alned by tbe Greek geographer. It Is this thea tre thus appointed by nature, whioh is now mien for the good of mankind. Then all ball to the republic: redeemed and regenerated, one "Zt i,,,n visible. Nullification and secession are already like the exilnot monsters of a ?55 . .TLsu. nnriod to be seen only in the of history. With their extinction muss disappear that captious, litigious, ana aisiurb iM MAtlt engendered by State right The zv.nnlrT will be transformed. Jl7."i. :"Z, for discord: smiles for " ...

Interlaced, interlocked, aud harmonized, they will beo n g( nlal parts of the mighty whole, while liberty and (quality will be the reoognized birthright of all, and no local pretension can interfere against tbe universal law. There will be a sphere alike for tbe States and nation. Local neli governinent, which in the pride ol onr in stitutions, will be reconciled with the supre macy In the maintenance of hnman rights, and the two together will be the elemental principle of the republic. The State will exercise a minute Jurisdiction required for the convenience of all; the nation will exercise tho other paramount Jurisdiction required for ihe protection of all. The reconciliation God bless the word thus began, will embrace the people, who. forgetting past differences, will feel more than ever that they are one, and it will Invigorate the still growing repuullo, whose original root was little more than an acorn, so that It will find new strt ngth to resist the shock of tempest or time, while It enriches the continent with Us gene rous shade.

ARRIVAL OF MR. CHARLES DICKENS. Ills Readings to Commence In Boston ou tbe 2d and In New York on the 0th of December. Bobion, Nov. 19. Tbe great event ta Boston to day bas been the arrival of Charles Dickens from Europe per tbe steamer Cuba. Through tbe agency of the telegraph, an nouncements were made which gave currency to the belief that tha Cuba aud the dis tinguished novelist would arrlvein tbe middle ot the afternoon, and although there was no public ovation or demonstration contemplated, a crowd of several thousand persons assembled around the wharf where tbe steamer was ex pected, and, In suite ot the luclemeot weather, remained until the failure ot tbetr desire wis assured. If she had made her time the Cuba and Mr. Dickens would have been In Boston at 3 o'clock, and inasmuch as there was the un usual interruption ot half a dozeu hours from Halifax, the tears of a disaster were not without some shadow of foundation. At about half-past 7 o'clock, however, It wa? announced from tbe Old State House news-room that the Cuba was approaching Hull, oa her course to Boston, and that she had been boarded by the United 8tates tugboat Hannibal Hamlin, and Mr. Dickens taken on board. The tugboat proceeded Immediately to Boston, aud arrived at Long Wharf in about an hour, and full half an hour in advance of tbe Cuba. Among those who were on board the tugboat were Mr. Dolby, the agent of Mr. Dickens; Col lector Russell, of tbe port of Boston; Oliver Wendell Holmes, (General Sherwto, Hon. Joslah Quincy, James Fields, one of tho publishing firm ot Ticknor & Fields, and several other literary celebrities. After the customary greet ings aud congratulations, a repast was served on board the Hamlin, and when it was finished she had arrived at her dock in Boston. The fiarty then took carriages, and proceeded nimediately to the Parker House, where Mr. Dickens will remain until his departure tor New York. . The first eeries of his readings will begin in Tremout Temple ou tho eveulng of December 2, and bis first in New York will be given on the evenineof the 9th. Mr. Dickens' vcyage from Liverpool to Boston was one ot uninterrupted pleasure, and, while dccliniLB for the piesent all public ovations, he nevertheless feels profoundly grateful for the many mauirestaiioos of welcome which the American people have already shown towards him. Mr. Dolby, his advance atrent, has already dicpoced of some eight thousand tickets to his first series of Boston readings, aud there is no apparent diminution in the number of appli cants. A considerable number of them have prebably been brought up by speculators. LEGAL INTELLIGENCE. The Riddle Homicide. COURT OF OYER AND TERM I NKR-Jurfjres relrceana Ludlow. T. B.

Butler, Hon. W. E. Chandler, Assistant Secre tary of the Treasury; W. S. Huutinadon, Eq of tbe First Nattoual F.ank of Wastrni-ioa; Col. John 3. Loomis, Special Agent of tbe Treasury Department; A. B. Mullet, Esq., ehiet architect, Treasury Department; John S. Knox, Esq., Assistant United States Comptroller; Hon. Jo fin D. Dettees, Public Printer; General Gllman Marsten, of New Hampshire; Colonel Gordon Adams, United Btates Attorney for Mlsstssipol; William Prescott Smith, Esq., Collector ot the Port of Baltimore; and Frank Tuck. Esq., of Washington, Un landing the party passed into the fort, and called upon Gen. Hays, tne preoent commandant. After which they strolled around for an hour or more, visiting tbe various points ot interest in and around t be place. After gratl fjing their curiosity, they proceeded on the Northerner to Norfolk, where they rema;ued all niebt. At an early hour this morning the party will embark on the barge Beauty In tow ol a tug, to visit tbe Dismal Swamp Canal and Lake Dtummond. The Goverumeut hai sveral hun dred shares in the canal, which are to be sold at auction at the Treasury Department on the 6th proximo, and the object this party have in view is to examine the work thoroughly, and form some idea of its real value, m order to govern the pardes havlug the stock lor sale. Assistant-Secretary Chau dler was in charge of the party, who are pro vided with all the necessary maps, plans, aad reports of the work they have come to examine. They will probably complete their inspection of the work to-day, and will then return on the Northerner direct to Washington. It is to be hoped tbat the stock in the canal to be offered for sale by the Government will be bought up by liberal and enterprising men, who will put this great inland canal in good condi tion, thus connecting by a shore route of but twenty -eleht miles the extensive navigable waters of North Carolina with the Chesapeake Bay. The cantil has been greatly damaged dur ing the war, and is not in very good condition, but the Company are busily engaged repairing it. When the repairs are completed it will be extensively used by small steamers which could not weather Cape Hatteras, The steamer Crotan. with a nartv of wreckers. left Norlolk this morning toi Deep Water Shoals. James river, to raise tbe barge which was re cently sunk there, with all the material on ht;r for erecting the iron screw pilo lighthouse at that place. Ibe United State atoop-of-war . Portsmouth, which for the past tew da J has been at anchor in the Koads, passed up to Norfolk this after noon. The United States Revenue cutter Kcmaha, Captain Sand?, which has been at Nortolt for tbe past week repairing boilers, put to sea this morning. Considerable fpecnlation is Indulged in by the officers now stationed here as to the pro bable distribution ot the troops now forming the garrison. There Is at present two companies of the 5th United States Artillery and tbree com panies of infantry. It is generally believed that when General Bnrry assumes command one of the artillery and all of the infantry companies will be ordered elsewhere, and their places sup- Jilied by companies of artillery from the other onr artillery regiments now in the service. Tbe Fort, so far as I can learn from military men. is a very desirable post, and they do not relish the idea ot being ordered to a more Southern and sickly field of duty at the pre sent time. The proposed establishment of a Military School here is hailed with joy br all classes, and will Infuse a little life into the now dull and sombre Fortress. We are ahso In hopes of aeatu having a post band, a thing which is very much needed, and which would serve to while away many a pleasant hour. From .Boston. Boston, Nov. 20.
