TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1868.
In Opposition to a September Session
of Con fee ii.
Lookiho cattily at the present condition of the
country, we do not hesitate to declare oar
opposition to a September session of Congress.
The reasons whioa indaoe us to thus deem it
Impolitio, if not improper, to thus call the
national legislature together, are suffljlent to
oarrj oonriotion at least to our mind.
I. On the eve of a national eleotton when
the people hare their ballots in their hand, it
is oertainly expressing a doubt of the infalli
bility of this court of last resort, to make
laws to enforoe its decision. It is not a, if a
general election were far off and the mis
guided, if not criminal, rulers must be held to
accountability by other powers than the
people. At present the people are themselves
Bitting in Judgment aud will, beyond all
doubt, punish their unfaithful servants. Why
not then leave this puninhinent without spe
cial legislatien f We cannot but see that if
any partisan legislation be indulged in, it
would do far more iiarm at the North than it
will do good at the South. If, at this late
hour, other tests for voting be imposed on th-
Southern States, it will bt brought against m
at the North. We hare had years to perfeot
our system of reoonstruotion. We consider
that we hare perfected it. If at this time we
undo what we bare done, we at once confess
that it is not as it should be, and great ospital
will be made out of such a oonfession by the
ver-watohful Demooraoy.
II. Then, again, if CoDgress be assembled in
the heat of party passions, in the midst of the
seething, boiliogoauldron of politioal quarrels,
in which we are, there will naturally be many
things said which will be intemperate in tone
and highly inflammable in their character. We
hare never, heretofore, held a session of Con
gress in the midst of a Presidential eleotion.
If we have one now the result will be that,
Instead of debating a question wisely, each
Bpeeoh will be addressed to the people, and not
to the House. Partisanship will run ram
pant, and sentiments will in all proba
bility be uttered by both sides whioh will
do infinite damage and might preoipitate
bloodshed. Eaoh party has in its ranks men
Who act rather from the heart than the head,
and onoe warmed up into passion they wil1
Bay many things wkl.h in cooler moments
Should have been repressed. Especially is this
the oase with the Republican Southern mem
bers. Their grievances are great. They are
suffering gross wrongs and outrages, and the
people of the North know and realize their
wrongs and will redress them. But if
they meet in Congress, it is only natural
for them to seek protection and to speak with
great vehemence. This we do not want. Lot
the punishment of the Rebel element be left
to the Northern people at the polls, and not
to intemperate legislation. To avoid any
flnoh danger, better let the S3tt thorn niembdrs
keep their views until December.
III. Even if the sesfcon was to be called, the
time between its assemblage and the day of
election, is so short that the aot desired oould
not be made effective. Congress meets on the
21st of September. It will require ten days
to mature a law. The President pockets it for
ten days. Thns it will be the 12ih of Ojtober
before it oould be a law. Add to this the time
neoessary to transmit it South, have it pro
claimed, probably have the Legislatures oalled
together, and it will be seen that to law oould
have more than a few days to take effect. This
Would naturally injure us in the Norths The
Conservative people are today all withut. By
indisoretion we may drive them away. Let us,
therefore, not trust to the too inflammable
spirit of the members, but leave it all to the
people.
IV. Finally, even If there was time and
there was no impropriety in suoh hasty legis
lation, we do not deem it neoessary. We oon
ilder the election of Qeneral Grant as oertatn
as that there ia a sun in the heavens, nnlesi
We throw it away by our own action. The
people are fully alive to the necessities of the
occasion, and appreciate, in a way whioh
no other people but the Amerioan oan
appreciate, all the results of eleoting
one ticket or the other. - They see perfeotly
plainly what is the issue to-day, and reoog
nize its Identity with that whioh called them
to aotlon in 18G0 and 1864. There is the same
battle between the institutions of the North
and of the South now as there was then, only
intensified by the war. Caste, privileges, and
antl-Detnooratio spirit on the one side, unity
of' interest, equality of political rights, no
privileges, but justioe to all on the other.
Seeing this, can we doubt the Ame
rican people? No. The same deter
mination whioh elected Llnooln in 1860,
and re-elected him in 1864, will elect
Grant in 18G8 by a majority whioh will sur
prise even his most sanguine friends. This Is
Sure, unless we ourselves canoal our chances
by gross letha'gy or fatal error. Also, it is
well to remember that we want the IUpttbli
oan members at home. Many of them have
great opposition to overcome, and it not only
might, but in all probability it would, cause
the defeat of many of them in oase they were
absent.
Under these considerations we deem it use
lef s and unwise to have a session of Congress
lYlW December next.
The New Dominion.
Tub course of affairs on the northern frontier,
in British America, possesses at this period an
nnnsnsl degree of interest. Various causes
combined to inspire the British Government
with an ambition to consolidate aud
strengthen her provinces on this continent.
The French effort to establish an empire in
Mexico having proved a total failure, the
Canadas presented the only remaining oppor
tunity of maintaining a check npen the free
dom and influence of the Unl'ed States on this
side of the Atlantic The purohase of Alaska
stimulated inoreaed exertions from the indi
cations it afforded of the disposition and
ability of the American people to extend the'r
frontiers. The Fenian raids, with all their
follies, were enffljiently formidable to inspire
a fear that if the provinces were not olosdy
watched ther might be gobbled up piece-meal,
or at all events, seriously assailed by
the doughty hampions of the Emerald Isle,
who propose to liberate Ireland by
enslaving colonists on this continent. A pow
erful industrial and oommeroial motive also
inspired a desire to retain under British con
trol a railway route from the Atlantio te the
Pacific The New Dominion was the natural
offspring of these motives. The general char
acter of the scheme is to effeot for the oolonists
Who were formerly ' independent a union
gcaroely less oomplete than the Amerloans
cemented during and subsequent to the Revo
lution. Many difficulties, however, have been
encountered in the completion of this oombl.
nation. The old polioy of the British Govern
ment was to distract its colonies, keeping
them as distinct from eaoh other as possible,
so that amid their conflicting interests and an
tagonisms the influenoe of Parliament and the
Borne office might remain supreme. Beside,
each colony had a distinct charter, whioh
could not rightfully be abrogated
without the dear consent of its citi
zens. It was humiliating enough to be under
the sway of trans-Atlantio rulers, without
feeling the oppressive yoke of a band of adja
cent oolonists. If the original thirteen colo
nies of the United States had been combined
under a sort of Congress paramount to the
local Legislatures, and if, at the same time,
the authority of Great Britain remained as
supreme as it was before the Declaration of
Independence gave birth to the nation, we
would have a government substantially simi
lar to that established by the New Dominion.
It is easy to understand that this oomplex
system may authorize the establishment of a
double tyranny, and that it is not
likely to prove popular among any por
tion of a people whose proximity to our
eountry has inspired to no inoonside.
rable degree, an admiration and yearning for
republican institutions. In Nova Sootia an
tagonism to the new form of government has
assumed an especially determined and reso
lute shape. Her citizens were never really in
favor of this projeot. At one period, however,
an unfaithful Legislature, under the skilful
manipulation of an adroit Governor-General,
yielded a reluctant consent, and this oonsent
is now deolared to be a oomplete barrier to
further opposition. In vain do the Nova Soo
tians plead for the maintenance of their old
charter, and denounce the injustice of an alli
ance antagonistio alike to their interests and
their prejudices. Parliament turns a deaf ear
to their entreaties, and new intrigues are fo
mented to seduce by bribes, deooratlons, and
cheap honors, her leading publio men from
an advocaoy of the known wishes of their con
stituents. For the present submission is in
evitable, but one of the results of the indig
nant feeling whioh has been aroused is the
rapid growth of a proolivity towards annexa
tion with the United States, and the opinion
has beoome widely prevalent that suoh a
union 1b merely a question of time. !
None of the Colonies appear ta be particu
larly well pleased with their prospects. What
they need above all other things is free in
tercourse with the United States? and the
abrogation of the Reoiprooity Treaty has
proved a terrible blow to their prosperity. If
the efforts to revive it, whioh are now being
made at Washington prove, successful, British
rule will regain many of its lost charms; but
it is doubtful whether the Amerioan people
will oonsent to this proposed renewal. The
sentiment prevailing when the treaty was ab
rogated still exists to a large degree, and
there seems to be no good reason
why we should share, on equal terms, our
prosperity with any people who do not share
onr burdens, and who are not in all things
bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh.
While the British Government does not
totally ignore its duty of promoting the indus
trial prosperity of its American possessions,
this duty is generally discharged in an offen
sive, ungracious, and inefficient manner, and
even nominal blessings are thus converted
into grievances. In constructing railways, for
Instance, oommeroial considerations are subor
dinated to political and military objeots. The
new Intercolonial Railway, which is to be con
structed at the joint expense of Canada and
Great Britain, is located rather oa the route
over which troops can be safely and rapidly
transported from Halifax to the lnterldr, than
on the line of development and settlement,
and the money of the Canadians is thus used
to forge their own ohains.
Deecher on Seymour.
Rev. Hinbt Wabd Bkboubh, in his letter on
the present political condition of the oountry,
gives a oorreot estimate of the duties and the
privileges of our citizens during the approach
ing campaign, antt paints Governor Seymour's
real oharaoter in colors truthful if not oomp'l
mentary. He says:
'Since all tbe men who nought to destroy this
GcvetQinent are rallying around Hxymour, it U
flilhaiali tuenien who loot) up for toe Union
should gather about Oraot. It la an honor tual
will not happen twloe In a man' lifetime to
nave a euauce io vote lor euon a man as Uraot.
Mo youuK man can wellattord to throw awav
lila chance, liven if done. It ought to be In
favor oftome belter mitu than he, who tbrougu
aU Uie FreWJtoiu IW to ltv8,UuUeauow k
help Southern treason without tnenrring the
! aud paina of overt and oourageous trea
sonable acta."
Against the minister the ooarseness of the
Democratic press are immediately turned.
"That a minister should so far forget himself
as to express his political sentiments is dread
ful.' "He disgraces his doth." Strange how
opinions change. When Mr. Beeoher favored
a lenient pulioy towards the South, before its
contumacious spleen was displayed, the De
mocracy failed to see the least impropriety in
bis oonduot; but now it is decidedly "irreli
gious." The offense, however, in reality, does
not rest in the 'aot that an opinion is ex
pressed. It is in the fearless, truthful oharao
ter of that opinion. Mr. Seymour did enter
tain feelings of sympathy for the South during
the war, and was too shrewd or too cowardly
to show them, and that Mr. Beeoher fairly
ssys so, is the orime of whioh he is guilty.
The people reoognize the truth ef the reverend
gentleman's statement, and whether they
think it proper or not for a clergyman to
meddle in politlos, they will not deny that
what he Bays is Just.
A poblio and general expression of oonio.
lenoe ought to be offered to sundry New York
politicians. How pleasant it must have been
to some of them to know that everybody con
sidered John Allen to be the very wickedest
man in New York t We have always supposed
that it was a matter of self-gratulatlon to have
a genuine individual with a name and resi
dence to officiate as the "head and front of
that offending." It gave suoh a floe oppor
tunity for a majestic folding of the ample
drapery of oratory, and a proud PharUaio ges
ture of self satUfaotion as Allen oould be vir
tuously pointed out as holding that "bad
eminenoe."
It must have been a sad blow when the
"wickedest man" so earnestly assured his
visitants from the Democratic nominating Con
vention that he never had considered himself
entitled to the honors thrust upon him, and
with a bow that pointed the Inuendos, added
that he thought that popular prejudice would
now relieve his abode from the obloquy under
whioh it had suffered.
As New York has no longer a living conden
sation of its worst crimes, the sinfulness mast
again resolve into its anolent elementary state
and be diffused throughout the bodies, wlAoh
hitherto made so good their claim. A plea
sant and congenial theme for discussion and
description has also been "lost to sight'
though it may still be held "to memory dear."
The fitting close to the scene must have been
the dramatic grouping of the anxious in
quirers who rushed eag. rly in the early hours
of Sabbath morning to learn if the tidings
oould indeed be true, and if the wiokedest
man in New York had voluntarily relin
quished that honor.
German Republicans. Our German Repub
lican citizens are fully alive to the necessities
of the hour, and are already workisg aotively
in favor of Grant and Colfax. The unfortu
nate intervention of side issues whioh at the
last eleotion caused so muoh dissatisfaction
with these members, has at last ceased to in
terfere in any way with the complete work of
the party. They are with us to-day heart
and soul, and we will have from them a vote
whioh will surpass even the splendid one
they have ever extended to the cause of
fretdom in the past.
Belief in Dishonesty. The New York
Timet has the following: "There is a grand
business difficulty in Philadelphia which the
railway owners tiy to get over In a remarkable
way. Distrusting the conductors of tbe oars,
and having, of course, no check over them, they
jropoee thatathe conductors shall he far mart o
be route , oa the good old tax gathering plan or
the Kings of Franee. The oonduotora would
thns undertake to pay a certain weekly or
monthly turn and then take their chanoe, It
would be a sort of lottery for them; and some o
hem may like It for that reason. It Is a pa -allng
necessity and a sad one founded on a
belief In dishonesty. Business men, as well as
moralists, must come to first principles. They
must educate the people, in self defense, and so
build ud aelf-respeot and a conscience in the
mind of every man. Men are probably pirates
by nature. It la training that must make a
man see bis own right in tbe right of every one
else."
Thx Calico Intbrkst of the United States is
an Important one. The total produot of printed
goads In 1828 waa about 3,000.000 yards. In 1838
it reached 120.000,000. In 1S65 there were 87
printworks In the United State, which pro
duced in the aggregate 350,000,000 yards per yea.
This amount, at an average of 10 cents por

DRAMATIC.
'"Foul Play" drew to the Walnut Street Thea
tre last eveniog a large and patient audience
large, for nearly every teat in the building was
occupied: and patient, for, despite the excessive
heat, tcaicely a person left his Eeatnotto return,
until the clock Indicated twenty minutes after
twelve. It was a "first night," and the ma.
chinery was tery complicated, which necessi
tated loDg waits between the acts, and slow
work frequently while the curtain was up. Such
delay is almost inevli able, and is incident only
to tbe first representation of a drama of this
character. In New York, where a similar ver
sion has been running for a month, the perform
ance closes at a seasonable hour, and such will
be the case here In anight or two more, even if
all vexatious deUjs should not be fully over
come this ereulngr. Charles Reade's pretensions
as a dramatist are scarcely on a par with his
claims as a novelist. His dramatization of the
slory of "Foul Play," which was tbe one pre
sented' last erentnir, folio vs the thread of tbe
routtuce quite faithfully, the occasional devia
tions belDg for the sake of stage effect; but as
a work of art itsiuks iiito Insltrnllcaiico when
compared with the original, Yet, while uot as
rood as the readers of the novel would hare
reason to expect, it can fauly rank with the
general ran of popular dramatizations. While
Urged throughout with a melo-draaiatlc savor,
and capable of eliciting the most uproarious
applause upon the Bowery stage, if played with
that rsre unction which Is found in the Bower?
alone, It Is not devoid of the most essential ele
ments cl tbe fastidinns'y legitimate drama, and
can easily bn made acceptable to a leaned and
critical audience.
Such an aodlence was present last evening,
end altogether tbey were well pleated. The
most deserving peace of acting was that of Mrs.
W. A. Chapman, who understood the character
Of "Nancy Bouse," and did it full justice tn.m
beginning to end. Mrs. Walcot as "Helen Rol
leston," was not in her pioper sphere, and yet
she did creditably well, being botb careful and
earnest. Mr. Walcot executed the somewhat
difficult role of "Robert Penfold," with his
accustomed skill, and was eotbuulatttcally re
ceived on taking his old place as the leading
member of tbe company. There was nothing in
tbe personations of tbe o'.bers embraced in the
cast desorving of tpecia1 notice.
The piece is bandsomoly mounted, and when
the machinery gets Into good working order it
will prove one of the most attractive In this
respect of any that we have seen of .ate years In
this city. Particularly noticeable Is the scuttling
and sinking of ihe ship Proserpine Itfthe second
act By a decidedly novel contrivance, the good
venel is made to sink berore the eys of tbe
audience, and as the last spar disappears the
whole stage is covered with a foaming sheet of
mimic water.
Foul Play will bs repeated this evening, and
until further notice.
Mr. William Whsatlbt last evening took his
final farewell of tbe stage at Niblo's Garden,
New York. Be was most enthusiastically
cheered, and in acknowledgment made the fol
lowing brief speech:
Ladies and gentlemen I appear before you
this eveniiig to say larewell after a lifetime
devoted to our service as actor and manazer.
During that long period it has been my eirue-tt
aim and endeavor to ao my duty to ail with
whom I have had business relations. That my
Sorts have been crowned with success is
evidenced In the reward of a generous public,
wbich enables me to withdraw from my tolls
and responsibilities, and In the very many affec
tionate expressions of reirret at my retirement
received iroro the membeis of my profes
sion. In tak ng a flual leave ot the stage
tho satisfaction is naturally mingled with sor
tow, for mv connection wltn It has been truly a
liibor of' love, and I look bick upon my t-even
years at Niolo's with feelings of pride and plea

renown I resign the management to mv ener
getic and enterprising successors, Mesrs. Jarrett
fc Pslmer, wiseing them a bright and brilliant
t jture of success, wbich I am confident they
will achieve. And now, ladies and gentlemen, I
must pronounce trut last sad word "that must
be and hath been," that "sound which makes us
linger," to oce and all, respectlnlly. farewell.
