U'hone who were friendly to in during the war j-cBCiit the formidable charges made by .Mr. Sumner. Men who arc ordinarily conservative fin to any disposition on tho part ot Holland to display k belligerent feelinir to a strong antago nist are now priinc to say disagreeable things of .America. Throughout Knijllsli society there i n unanimity of tone and temper with regard to Ihe (piestion of the hour. Messrs. Sumner and I'liandlcr may take whatever credit they please it themselves for havint; once thoroughly un settled a not easily excitable nation. " Nolliint; occurs, however, in the present tem per of KnirliHli opinion which need move us trom our self-possession. We are amused while we regret that the Ensrlish should bo so far roused out of their old habit of equanimity as to look upon the possibility of early war, and to fancy lliat the Englishmen on these shores are about to leave in a general stampede. At the same time we cannot easily brinsr ourselves to'inourn over i'.ngland's wrath, or quite deplore the provoca tion which some of us appear to have sciven her. "We have regrets that the matter between the nations lias' not been settled inn friendly and C'luitable way, ns it surely could have been. Without vasj, circumlocution, or a process of 7iever-cnding dinners. But we cannot say that the recent manifestations of our brethren across the water excite us to downright repentance. On the contrary, we trust that in the ofteuse some what unduly taken by them out of the moral fctatement of our claims by Mr. Sumner, the irri tation is wholesome uud remedial. Englishmen may feel angered at our complacency, but, after liaving disclaimed any disposition to further expend ourselves on tho Alabama ipiest'ion. cither in war or money, they will understand lis when we say that we have no compunctious isitings respecting tho future relations of the two countries. Never before were the relations of two irreat Mid kindred countries so thoroughly disused as now. It is from this fact that we hope for tho growth of a more just and enlightened feeling between them. But that result ir, not to lie brought out by anything but the reverse of that habit of diplomatic abjection pursued by 31r. Bevcrdy Johnson. Mr. Sumner's earnest Views are the natural reaction after the delay 5n the settlement of our claims, and the in glorious career of our late .Minister. It is j'rom a position as a moralist rather than as a statesman that Mr. Sumner directs las philip pic against England and in the ear of the world. His charge is that a nation speaking twr own tongue, and professing the same ab liorrenee of slavery, was willing to betray us ior gold and for slavery. This is the amount of It morally, and it would not be out of the natural fitness of things if Englishmen feelingly under stood it. Nations in their great aggregate are Jiot distinguisned for aetsof signal unseliishness, and doubtless our own is not an exception to that rule. For that reason it is no business of ours to hold our national contemporary 10 any ubstract rulo of right, and we could not. if we would, make the moral accusation of Mr. Sum mer's speech the basis of a violent demand. 'J'his truth the English public fail to perceive. Hud it will be some time before they are brought to know that the tempers of tho two nations liave undergone a change with respect to the question at issue. It is now England which is susceptible and sensitive, and America which is complacent and self-possessed. We do not marvel that the British press now especially discuss Canada as one of tho points threatened by the speech of Mr. Sumner. The speech of ex-Minister Gait, pledging Canada to hostility to the United States upon the present Issue, even were England out of the (piestion. lias been warmly approved. The possibility of our taking Canada in the case of war has been looked in the face the possibility of war has been accepted. Few words are needed in answer. We do not desire war: we do not need Canada. Before making war, we shall have inado sure that we could not do better by peace. "When we take Canada, it will in all probability lie as a gift. Both in respect to Canada und to England, we can afford to bide our time. IHE EFFORTS OF PORTUGAL TO ABO LISH SLAVERY. , From tht X. Y. Time. Tho kingdom of Portugal has followed in the footsteps of its larger though younger si-ter, the United States. By a royal decree of the 25th of February last, published in the ollleial gazette on the 37th of the same month, the abolition of Blavery is declared in all tho Portuguese colo nies. All slaves are to be considered free and in n condition similar to that of Chinese laborers who by their own act have bound themselves to labor in tho English and French colonies. This is to be their condition until April L'O, 1S7S, when, in accordance with the decree of April 2(1, 3858, they will be entitled to all the rights and privileges of Portuguese citizens, and all engage ments and contracts which mav have been made by them in their former condition will thence forth be null and void. The Portuguese Government has ever used its Lest endeavors to put a stop to the slave trade, Loth by the establishment of naval stations on the coasts of Africa and bv the faithful execu tion of the treaty of 1S4'J with Great Britain, the terms of which aro similar to our slave trade treaties with that power. Carrying out strictly tho provisions of this treaty, and sincerely de voted to its humane principles, the Portuguese Government has found no sncritice too great to put a stop to this infamous tratlie. though the Uilhculties it encountered were very great. For many years tho abolition of slavery has Jouud able und untiring champions in the Portu fftiose Parliament, such as the Mariiii de sa Bau deira, now President of tho Council! of Minis ters, and the Counts do Lavradio and de Avrila. The Marquis especially lias for many years past sustained the sumo principles as those advocated )y Lord Brougham lu the British Parliament and Charles Sumner in our own Senate. A series of laws in regard to this subject prove liow desirous Portugal has ever been to see slavery abolished in its colonies. A decree of JJecember 14, declared that 'All Hlavfts belomrlnsr to the Government shall lie frep .' and ordered that 'the names of all other siaves hul tin recistered within thirty days, at tint expna tion of which time all slaves whose names Have not ion tpi,H..nl.i'd or Inserted in said register shall lie considered as free.'

HeilMim.llin aim m- li.lng ctlorts of other more poworfu nations. On theaoth of March, 15.0, the King ot l or- "TTiat tho nsvajrn natives of Brazil M ot.hrr con quered countries should lie treated and considered as free men, without being; In any mode or niHnnercau tlves, excepting those who were taken In lawful war faro or who continued to assail the Portuguese for the purpose of cannibalism." Tho law of August 22. 1587, declared "That tho Indians who worked on (-status should not he retained there h slave, hut should he per fectly free as long s they remained." Tho law of September 10, Kilil, enacted "That all natives who were iu captivity at that time should be set at llbertv and be free." The law of April 1, DiHO, declared "That thenceforth no In dians should bo enslaved, not eu'ii iu tho cases excepted by former laws." Filially, w ith special reference to the African race, tho dates of tho following laws show how early Portugal was animated by those Christian sentiments which have gradually brought about the abolition of slavery. The law of September 10. 1711, declared that all black slaves coining henceforth to the ports of the kingdoms of Portugal and Algarve, from Aincric.i. Spain or Asia, shall be free. The royal order of .lanuary 2. lTilT. extended this benefi cent measure to mulattoes ot both sexes who had not been included in the preceding law. Finally, the law of January 10, 177:t. enacted 'That the children of nil slaves born thereafter in the kingdom of I'lirlimal should be free ami be ; liable of linldiliK olllcc, honors and cliirnlllcH without that stigma left upon freedineu whli h the supersti tion ol the itonuins had established in their customs, and which Christianity and cil society now render intolerable In the kingdom." We have endeavored to present to our readers these meritorious acts so honorable to a nation, whi.'h. though limited in its resources and small in its extent, was at one time a first-class mari time power, whose seamen were the pioneers among discoverers. The learned Richard Henry Major, in his "Life of I'rince Henry of Portu gal." published in London in 1808. draws a vivid picture of the first days of that epoch in which Portugal created empires and founded great cities at a distance of six thousand miles across the sea, and when, with the Hag ol the Cross and of civilization floating at the stern of its galleons, it opened the way of discovery to the other nations of the world. WHO ARE THE IMPERIALISTs; From the X. V. Herald. The high court of imperial nincompoops has been in session in this city for some time past. It is hard to tell whether they are a branch lopped from a trunk of themselves or an offshoot from the imperial houses of China, Japan, France. Russia, Prussia. 'Austria. Muscat, Brazil, or Havti. The glories of the Shah of Persia, the Sultan of Turkey, the Khan of Turtary, the (ireat Mogul, and the High Cockalorum of the New Dominion of Canada sink into insignifi cance before the piercing lights of this new im perial Yankee revelation. To read some of our exchanges one would think that the republic hail gone to the empire of the dogs, and that cats und rattlesnakes were commanders of the situation. They copy articles from a two and catchpenny concern in this city that lias an imperial crown surmounting its title heading, as a washtub would a laundry advertisement, indexing its character. A fool's cup would have been a more appropriate emblem. But the fools or lunatics are not all dead yet. or wc should not see such a vapid caricature upon journalism placed upon the news stands. Some have thought that the publication of a sheet like this would kindle a riot: that the Police Com missioners would be obliged to double the force of their department in view of the tremendous inlluence it would exercise in exasperating our liberty-loving anil republican-loving population, and in contributing towards the cheerful specta cle of pulling down houses, smashing up presses. knocking type into cocked hats, all illuminated with dissolving views of editors and reporters with their eyes done up in elegaut lines ot black and blue, streaked with yellow. But the teach ings of this organ of imperialism and the vapor- ings of its lollowers would be innocuous were thev not farcical. Thev make men laugh, and any distemper that excites the risibles of man kind is always calculated to make them think. Byron said: "A sinele drop of Ink May make thousands, nay, millions, think." A solitary laugh in an audience of thousands has made more than one man ponder. There fore a good laugh is almost as potent as a drop of ink lor the purpose of ventilating an idea. When Daniel Webster spoke of the city of New York us tho "Imperial City" of the New World, he did not refer to it in" the ridiculous sense now attached to the phrase by these imperial monkeys and apes of foreign pomposity. Talk a'hout making the United States an em pire ! We are an empire already an empire of republicanism, an empire of free thought, an empire of progress, development, intelligence, and civilization. By the aid of steam, cash, genius, enterprise, and electricity, we have be come an empire whose diadem contains gems that shed ravs to the uttermost parts of the earth, attracting hither the forlorn, the down trodden, the frugal, the industrious, the pro gressive ot all nations. Imagine an empire in tins land alter tne man ner of the empire of Hayti, with a polished and magnificent bald-heaucu philosopher in goggles, like Greeley, wearing the imperial purple, as tho greasy and sooty Soulouquc wore his. Think of what'the court "of the Emperor Horace might consist of. taken from among his bosom friends md most intimate confreres. Colorado Jewett is his Lord High Chamberlaiu, with the title of Duke of Clap-trap and the legend iVflf.is ft lira in his crest. George N. Sanders as the Imperial Cup-bearer, with the title of Lord of the Rag-tag md Bobtails, his duet employment being to bund the imperial cup to his imperial master, alter testing the juice, upon a principle peculiar to Lord George himself, to ascertain whether its stimulating properties have been pro perly cxhaused. George Francis Train, Prince of Flap-Jacks and Jump-up-.Tohnnles, Grand Usher of the Household and Tier-up in General f Feminine Apron Strings: his Royal Highness Prince Jellcrson Davis, Baron Jake Thompson, and Viscount Beverly Tucker. Im- icrial Buni-bainus and rrocurers-ueneral ot Sail for hrs Imperial Majesty whenever his Im perial Majesty gets his imperial body into tight places. A court composed oi cavaliers like tneso would eclipse the Day A: Martin shine imparted to the court of Souloiique, with all its preten tious und high-sounding titles of Duke of Lemon ade. Prince of Soltsliells, Viscount Marmalade, Lord of the Cocktails, Baron Brown Stouts, and so on. But we have had quantum uf. of this impe rial riiliculit inn. ,SV(S film imjirri't. It has been talked about long enough and imperiously enough, and our people want its advocates to cease their clamor in regard to It. It is a fit theme for an amusing negro minstrel extrava ganza and nothing more. REUNION OF THE NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN CHURCHES. Frtmi the X. V. Worht. The debate which took place on Saturday in the General Assembly of the Old School Presby terian Church on the question of re-establishing unity of organization between the Northern and the Southern branches of that Christian denomi nation, brings up a topic of great lnterest,whlch will perhaps bear discussion by the political press. The political union between the North and the South, for the preservation of which wo have spilled so much blood, will never bo recc incnted so long as it rests upon a merely politi cal arrangement supported by armed force. The strongest ligaments of the Union, so long as the Union was dear to the affections of the people, were the common' sentiments and mutual sym pathy cherished by the great Christian denomi nations. The weakening and suuderiug of the ties which hound us together as one people began in the churches. The great Methodist de nomination was first rent asunder by differences of sentiment on tho subject of slavery; then fol lowed a split in the great Baptist denomination; and the other churches were successively divided as tlie alienation of feeling between the two sec tions progressed. The principal American churches, with the exception of tho Catholic, are organized on a basis very nearly corroapond Iip' to our political institutions. 1 he churches were representative bodies. They had an or nization which culminated iu each denomination in' a general assembly, kcuwhI Coatoren.ee, or general convention, corresponding to our Federal Congress. In most of them there Is some sort of a county or other local association, which sends representatives to a Hta or synod, the State organizations being? araln represented In a national convocation which Is the supreme ecclesiastical authority in each de nomination. The Union began to be dissolved with tho disruption of the great Christian deno minations. This sundered the ties by which the hearts of the tvo sections were knit together in cordial attachment. Until these ties can be re newed by the reunion of the Churches, tho poli tical Union will be a feeble and precarious bond. The diversities of creed and church organiza tion which have always existed in this country have been a political blessing. Each relprioiH denomination being a minority of the whole people. We have been saved from all danger of the establishment of a State Church to domineer over the consciences of dissenteri, or subject them to disabilities for the exercise of their faith. But there has been a still greater advan tage. The strong dislike and repugnance with which rival sects regard each other have strengthened the mutual attachment among members of the same denomination, and caused them to feel a warmer interest iu persons of their own communion in distant States than in residents of the same, neighborhood who pro fess a different creed. In this manner, tho public affections of the religious part of our people were expanded and enlarged, and ties coextensive with the Union were stronger and more operative than the local sympathies which bound the inhabitants of the same locality to gether. The Northern Methodist did not, in deed, feel a strong attachment to the whole body of the Southern people, but only to the Southern Methodists, who were dearer to him than the Calvinistie neighbors whoso church edifice was located in the same village with his own. In the same manner the Northern Baptist took a livelier interest in the Southern Baptists than in his immediate neighbors wh called sprinkling baptism, and administered the rite to infants' The Episcopalian felt his heart go out in warmer regard for Southern churchmen than for the neighboring sects who scorned the sur plice of the clergyman, and disliked the affect ing supplications of the liturgy. Thus, although no sect of religionists cared anything for the Southern people as such, each" cherished a rooted attachment to the Southern part of its own denomination. Each religious sect being thus bound together in strong fraternal bonds, the joint result of these various ties was that the whole bodv of religious people North was united to the whole body of religious people South: the separate sects being like the strands ot a cable bv whoso joint strength ho Union was bound together. When these strands were strained till thev parted, one after another, tho political Union became one of merit force and cevfrse material interests, which ca-ily gave way in the lurv ol cxcitctl passions. The strength of religious ties as a bond of common svmpatliv between the North and the South is not easily appreciated by the inhabi tants of ciiies. The people of tint South are mostly devoted to agncult ure: and religion enters far more largely into the Hie ot a rural than of an urban population. The stir and b;itlo of cities, their numerous public meetings, theif so cial and festive gatherings, their clubs, their theatres, their habitol devouring Ircsli news in the daily papers, render religion les important as a social tie and a bond ot common svmpatliv In the country, people have few occasions of meeting except at church on Sunday. The hour between the morning and the a.teruoon service affords the only regular opportunity lor inter changing opinions and learning the news of the locality. The church is almost the only place where "women can wear their best apparel, and where young people ot both sexes can enjoy the pleasure of looking into one another's faces. Such motives assist in bringing people out to church: and when there, they are subject to such impressions as the intellect and fervor ot the clergyman and participation in a common worship are calculated to produce. 1 lie church is the centre of social life to every rural popula tion. It is the duel agent in developing such affections as expand beyond the narrow circle of tamilv ties. It is almost the onlv incentive and prop of rural civilization. It draws people out ot the otherwise constant isolation ot their homes, subjects them to the wholesome influence of mutual observation and criticism, gives them a motive for cultivating some refinement in dress and manners, interests them in other topics than their daily toil, cultivates their capacity for public sympathy, and enlarges their affections to take in. lirst 'the people and concerns of their parish, and through it ot their religious denomi nation. When, therefore, the ties were sundered be tween the Northern and Southern wiugs of the great Christian denominations, there was almost a total interruption of a common life and habitual common sympathies between the great body of the people of the two sections. After the "division of the principal churches, the only remaining sympathetic tie was that which held together the great political parties. But the same causes which rent the former did not long spare the latter. Before the slavery agitation, party tics were a great deal stronger than sec tional ties. Northern Whigs felt more interest in Southern Whigs, Northern Democrats were nearer in feeling to Southern Democrats, than members of these rival parties were to each other in their own section. Even our fiercest party contests were, therefore, bonds of union, though inferior in strength to the religious at tachment, Inasmuch as politis enter less con stantly into the daily life of the people than religion. In recenienting the Union we need to reverse the process by which it was dissevered. We must reconstruct political parties coextensive with the whole country; and above all. we must reunite tho divided Churches. Until these two objects are accomplished, there can be but a tee ble common life iu the two great sections; but a feeble circulation of those cordial sympathies which alone can make us truly one people. The del ate in t he General Assembly ou Saturday was gratifying in so far as it indicates a growing de sire for reunion; but the heat of the discussion shows that there must be a further cooling of the late unchristian animosities belore this great result can be consummated. What is true of the Presbyterian denomination, we sup pose to be "equally true ot the Metho dist and the Baptist. Tho chief ob stacle to reuuion at present is the bitter I memory of the action of the representative oodles ol the several Churches during the war. Religious men ought to have foreseen that the war would end: that alter its close a reunion of Churches would bo desirable; and tiiey should have thrown no unnecessary oostacles iu the way of future cordiality. Instead of this wise and prudeut course, they intruded all tho pas sionate and denunciatory asperity of sectional polities into the public action ot "tho religious oodles. It is the keen sense ot these unchristian denunciations which thwarts the early restora tion of tho old bonds ol affecuon. Wo regret that any of the speakers in the Gcucral Assem bly thought it necessary to bring up so irritating a topic; for the more it is kept out of sight the better will be the chances ot restoring tiio lost unity of the Churches, und of making the North and "the South truly one people.

Gents : On the night of the 22d ultimo, our store, No. 20 South street, was entered, and a desperate at tempt made by burglars upon one of your sates in our counting-room. The key to the sate n which we kept onr securities was locked Inside of our fire-proof book safe, the doors of which were literally cut to pieces; from this they obtained the key to the other safe and opened it. Fortunately we had one of your Burglar-Proof Banker's Chests Inside, In which our valuables were deposited. This they went to work at with a will, and evidently used up all their time and tools In vain attempts to force it. The night was dark and stormy, and the fact of thefr knowing where our key was kept shows that their plans were well matured. They tried wedging the door and body of the Chest, and the faithful safe bears evidence of the labor and skill devoted to the work. All was useless, and It Is with great satisfaction we report that upon opening It we found our securities ail safe, and can therefore cheer fully indorse the Burglar-Proof work recommended by you. You will please send the new safe purchased by us to our counting-house, and take the old one, to show that some safes are still manufactured worthy of the name. David Dowa & Co.
