It Will be seen by the news from the Smith which we publish to day, that formidable movements are being made toward seces... doo, with a slew to the establishment of a Southern Confederacy. Dowever we may regard the hasty action 411 'domino:i s leader', it cannot be concealed that the present ex cited state of ptiblic mind in the Southern States is the legitimate result t of the aggies• sive spirit and policy of North ein tamales, Since the organisation of the Federal erntnent the power of the South has been gradually, Coo stslitly and certainly 'slung, and notwithstanding the continual cries against Southern aggression uttered by Northern demagogues, not one fat of Ter- titery that was free wham our Government acquired it has ever become slave, IA title the Territory out of which was formic(' the vast empire West of the Mississippi and North of the Ohio, together with every other Stole in the ['mon except Ithissachusetts, was, et the time of the adoption of the Federal COW MI( 11:11 , n, slave Territory The only special provision fur the protection of the rights of the slave holder asked, by the slave holding States in the Convention which `framed the Codstitution, was that when their slaves "Seeped into a tree State, they should he returned. In I and Witt laws were i passed by Congress to effectuate this pio. •ision and to provide the means by which it should...be executed ; end these lass have been constantly denounced by the anti sla very party, and in those States where they have had the power laws directly nullifying the fugitive ' , lave laws have been passed.— Abuse and vituperation against the men of the South have been indulged in upon the goes of Congress ; arid instead of maintain ing mid cult', ating a fraternal feeling be tween the States o f f the confederacy, an enmity has been created between the North and South, which apparently Is about to culminate in a dissolutitin of the wisest and , weal. liberal Government ever devised by e man. Wt”ie deal remipitulattng the wrongs perpetrated by die North , upon the South. we do not al4l to be 'mai-stood as justify ing the latter nu the position which they now seem to have taken. In our opinion the election of any man, to the Presidency in the Manner pi:Mited out by the Constitutions of the United States, constitutes no instification fur the people of any portion of our dearly bought Union to array themselves against the Gov ernment, to nullify its laws and violate the Constitution of the United States. W we concede that the principles or the party "those candidate, Abraham Lincoln, way, and the expressed nentiments of its leaders are antagonistic to Southern Institutions, and insulting in the highest degree to our South ern brethren, we think that before perform ing any hostile act, they should at least wait until those principles have been enacted into laws or recognised by the Constitutional authorities of the Federal Union Abraham Lincoln will ga into power on the 4th of March next sworn to support the Conatitu tion of the United States, and 'if he violates that oath we will for three ~,,v;ears at least have a Demoeratie house or Rep' esektirtsveis ready to present him fur impeachment and a Democratic Sedate ready to "edge Koper. natty, and ieffict the punishment. The Su preme Court is yet cotnposed of conservative, Union loving Jurists, mid with all the ether branches of the (loverntrient thus arbiled against the Executive, etaitcaranot eoneeive what real danger the people of the South have to apprehend to justify their revolu tionary movements. It is only when the " wrongs perpetrated by a Government are too great longer to he borne," that revolution becomes justifiable on the part of any of its citizens. and rebel Icon fur " tight and transient causes"—for the electioneering Ches of* sectional party, deserves nothing but the most speedy and exemplary punishment. Let the South but wait until the leePuhh can administration under litr. Lincoln shall refuse - to execute the Jaws, until Congress sustains him in so doing, and the Supreme t.'ourt of the United States becomes suffi ciently sectionalized to co-operate with them —in short let them wait until every Consti tutional remedy has been exhausted ; and their injuries become real, and apparent to the entire nation, and they will thee have the' nympathy of thousands—aye, tens of thousands of patriots in the North, who would aid them in soy proper manner to resist the encroachments upon their rights, and to punish those who perpetrate thorn.— We trust our Southern brethren will be guided by that patriotism apd wisdom which guided their tattlers in the resistance to British tyranny, and let their aorta be first direeted-toward the mainteriancerof the con federacy as it exists, and in conjunction with the conservative muses of *l3O North, rally for the defeat and destruction of the party whose principles they detest within the pro visions of the Constitution. The popular sentiment of this nation is no doubt, still, " The Union must and shall be preserved :" and le( the hydra head of disunion be reared whereyer it may, the people will rise up iblisow-diight and crush it. I Thus tar the North has been In the wrong—lot ndt the South now without just cause reverse the case—and give their abolition enemies the advaiftge oLbeing on the side of the Moon. DeraVeracy 1a national, and as sure as the lasts its principles will again be tiriudlplitint in the American Union. Our Public Schools The late Lind McCauley, in commenting upp our Republican Government. remarked, that it could only endure while our Territory was sparsely populated—that when popula tion became dense, the crowdia would be earned by party loaders and ambitious n, into such_extremeaas most eventually-Imb• vert the Government. `.There is; no doubt, much philosophy in this remark, when - ap plied to an tineducatert people. Alen inca• pablo of forming opinions of right and wrong for themselves, can be led almost anywhere by persons pf superior knowledge. Hence, Henry Ward Beecher has said, "if we would prosper we must educate." Th'e public mind is the capital of the nation, and self preservation demands that it Amid be culti vated, When the millions of freemen who bye under the broad iegis of the Constit . u . - tum, aro educatett to Audi a degree as to be 'able to appreciate the rights, and to corn ! prebend our system of Government, they will maintain it against the machinations of demagogues and traitors, as well ns against the invasion of foreign foes An educated people cannot be enslaved ts well might you endeavor to bind the wings of the wind, or stay the rivers, as to enthrall the spirit upon which the fair light of soiree has been shed, awakening with its illfhi.`llCo thy elas tic energies of the a;Piring soil, amt/opening up the unexhausiible fountain of the Pycrian spring For the purpose of leading out the nil tot of the masses to au adtquate concep tion of its destiny and its duty, the system of public instruction adopted tan Pcmisylva nia, is perhaps bettr designed and arranged, than that of any other country in the world. But its fundarrunial characteristic is the idea of equality. It is established upon the assumption of our De , daratio.l of Liideperid. nice, that "all men were created equal"— which, when transferred to its own purpos es, means that the child of the poor man 19 as good As the child of the rich -that the ' little boy who plays around the humble cot• tnge hearth and reposes his head on aitallet of straw, is inherently as worthy of public inst meow], as the heir of Fothinti, nursed in couches and rocked to slumher id a L ie d o f down. Our Common School system to truly Democratic it admits thin fact that be who forty years hence, will he President of the United States, may now be rummy; ragged and bare footed over the irountains of our Pacific coast, and seeks to place ell 1.11011 a common level in a school room, to rise in life according to their intrinsic merits And it is only while this principle is recognized and observed, that a aourislung system of public schools can be Illalntainvd. 11 hen we ignore it- leave the common Sr hoot exclusively for ihe poorer classes, and establrdi Academies e nd select schools for those a hcise parents are able to pay the additional expense necessary fur that pureeisC, we Inaugurate distinctions at war with the vital principles of our pope tar Government -we begin the creation of an aristocracy such as can only exist whir re familiell take rank by consanguinity and titles are hereditary. Children educated apart from others in the same cominuiwy, and taught to regard others as their superi ors or inferiors per or, will entertain the same distinction which rs hostile to all of our Re publican institutions, during thew entire lives. Moreover, when our wealthy and educated citizens turn their attention to schools, fHnideil by private enterprise, they neglect the public schools to such an extent that the children of the poorer classes • cannot haw the facilities and comforts necessary for then mental progress. Our laboring men seldom have time to devote to visiting schools and encouraging both teacher and taught We I cannot expect It from the affluent if they have no personal and immedive interest iii the public schools, such as they would have if their own offspring were ssithin their walls, laying the sub itrat wn of future g reatnrsy and renown ;It IS seldom indeed that men are so void of selfddiness ai to be great ly and practically interested in an enterprise unless they feel that it c.nicerrit them per sonaly, arid we know that in order to liv , e succksful and flourishing scho di, the) roust be stimulated by publo; niftiest who h only results from the association of urltvolual to Merest. In making these remarks w, if) not wish to be understood as opposing Academies, arid other institutions of learning ruunileit and marntained by pr Ivare enterprise. They are ill very good in their place, and what) we do object to IS the VI ithdia% al of the children of the weal thy from our public *cheek,• before they have learned those branches which are properly taught there Public schools if acting up to the standard of their design, should give as thorough and perfect an English education as can be ac grimed anywhere else, and it would tudicaCe a much better state of feeling -a much titter and truer appreciation of genuure four large tax-payers would send their children to the public schools, arid eke ert themselves ttl the sane extent, to elevate , them to th; standard of perfection, that many of them do to maintain private and select schools. The■ the benefits of their I ibors would be common to the whole com munity—then some degree of philanthropy and patriotism would be discernible ru their motives, and our rapidly increasing popula tion growing up under such benign influences would threaten us with none of the dangers anticipated by Baron AlVauley. Hastily as those thoughtaareraaei r and integre as they aro suggestions, we beg leave to commend them io our readers every whereovida t tbe hope that they may call forth wore full discussion of a subjeot so vastly important.

The True Remedy LET THE I.IATTLE BE 1 , 01:1111T % iriliN THE l'N It is too soon ro - iisrertain the elleet of the elution 01 Lincoln upon the South. Vi!hile We Cannot disguise an apphiliension that some of 1110 cotton' States will attempt Re cession, we trust tlia . t - du, patriotism and good aciee of the more moderate Southern States curb them, and 'lna prevent a resort to the v Axteemltiriteevolution. The Southern ;"tirtes _have ,means of. defence • - against Northern aggressions within the Union, much more potent OA any wtside of, the Union. At Nall mats they should wait until their . ; rigpts Ire actually assailed by the X,fricori "bearti thi s y attempt resistance . The remedy should be proportionate to the grievance. Secession and disunion could not be justified before the world upon,a mere suspiciwor appre hension of dangei-L-and the success of any people in changing their form of goiernment, when Finch change 4 involves civil war and bloodshed, depends in.alreat measure upon the justice of their cause. Any people who take up arms and invoke all the horrors of revolution for iiivolous or imaginary reasons, cut themselves-off from the sympathy of the" whole world, and isolate themselves'S such a degree as to render their cause hopeless. The Southern States htalle 4 now the activ sympathy of a powerful. minority of the Nortgern feople, which by moderation and prudence may soon be converted into a ma jority. The question now presents itself for their consideration whether they will light the battle within the 1 7 mon, where this Northern minority can render them effectual assistance. or whether they will. by Repara tion, alienate themselves from the conserva tives of the North, and thus destroy us t s well as themselves. We have enough confidence in the Union men of the South to believe that they will restrain the secessionists But throwing aside patriotism, it appears tons that corn. mon prudence should teach the South that their greatest SUClinty is within the rnion. Even if Mr Lincoln Should be dispiieed to adopt the extreme sectional views of his Abolition supportem his Ailmnostration could do nothing injurious to the rights or intArests of the Southern States. The reins of government aro not with:n his reach While the SenalE is controlled bra nattdnil majoiity,lacolii has not even the pow er of appointing his own cabinet Ile can be forced to select his confidential advisers from among the moderate men of his OITII party, and to discard the Seward school of irrepressible conflict liolit:cians Ile cannot make a single appointment objectionable to the conservative sentiment of the country Ile must choose Tmoderate policy and mod orate men, or he will not find the l'residen• tial chair a bed of roses With Cong,ress against him in both branches with a con -1.1i,t within his own party, and oirli a ma• pray of the purple of the United States op posed to the principles upon w Inch his elec tion was-secured, Mr Lincoln will be in a position as nearly powerless as it is possible for a Ileeeletent to occupy. Ir the Southern States are wise they will rely upon their power and influence within the Union, for protection against the mad sectionaliam that wont Id subjugate them, and not think of rev olution until all peaciable means of resist arse fail Let them pursue tins course, and before the expiration of two years, they will witness a bloodless revolution in Northern opinion, aflorthme, greater becurwy to their constitutional rights than a bloody con flict. We have supposed that Mr Lincoln may adopt the viess of Seward, and desire to carry ;hem into the Administration of the Government , but it is by no means certain that this will be his policy. On tlte•conft• ry, all signs point the other way It Id prob able that when he becomes President of the Nation he will nay above narrow sectional views, and endeavor to pursue a conciliatory course But in either event he must break with one division of his party lie cannot please both the moderato Republicans, who desire in get rid of this slavery agitation, and the Atiolitumists, who wish it to contin uo lle must choose one side or the other The irreprcs,ible conflict" will burst forth within the Republican' camp. The diverse elements, forced by circumstaacis Into an unnatural alliance, will separate, and Na tional Conservatism must necessarily tri utnph Policy as wadi as patriotism nit's( incline Mr Lincoln to the conservative side as it has every man aho has yet assumed the weight and responsibility of ministering the aflura of Government. - The It, publicans seo the conflict that must inevitably occur in their party, and are al ready preparing fur it- As an Tritium° of this fact we direct attention to the fulloviing extract from an article in the North A meri can, the lesiing Republican paper in Penn sylvania, published the mottling after the election : We have thus seen that slavery was not the dominating idea of the Pres.dential con test, as has been assumed, but that various national influences co operated to produce the result that has been witnessed. But if even the asaumption were true, there is a vast &flirt:nee between the positions of a candidate for the Pructlency and - the Presi dent of the Minn, One represents a party and the other the nation in its unity, and without regard to seotion. Our belief has 'Owes bean, and is not now for the first time expressed, that the mere fact of going into the White House, nationalizes, so to speak, the elected President, whatever may have been bi• previous predilections. Ho is oom palled, from the necessity of the case end from personal contact,. to mingle with all in terests and men of all parties, and therefore to Ignore, even if he cherished, all local or sectional jealousy. Mr. Lincoln will enter upon the deities of President as free from bias, and with as national sentiments, as any incumbent of that office ever did. More Alum that, he will go to - Washington dispos ed not only to conciliate but to convince the South, by fair dealing, that he has no war to wage - against it, and is anxious to have peace, happiness and prosperity. It does not belong to us to speak for Mr. Lincoln, but v . venture to assert. upon noother evi dence than that furnished by his past ca. reer, that his inaugural address will do more to restore confidence and to dissipate appre haqsion than any public paper issued for a garter of a century.

The BeceesioTrMovement The news from the South, says the Patri ot and Union, is of rather a startling charac ter. South Carolina appears to be deter mined to precipitate diouninn; if it is within hor power. The Legislature of that State, upon the reception of the news of liar:lab's election, decided to call a coneention of tho people, and the Federal Judge nt Charleston, the Uistriat Attorney, the Collector, and other Federal officers rtisigned, with the evi dent intention of bringing about an mimed:- ate coll,sion getwoen the State and the Gen eral Government.

It is probably that no Southern'Staft , arttt co operate with South Carolina in sect:y.l4on and rexistake to the General Golernment, and that she will not attempt to go out of the [llion alone. The General Government is bound to as• sort tia authority against any attempt at nul• titration of the Jaws or forcible seizure of Government property.and we have no doubt that the President will discharge his full duty in this emergency, notwithstanding the ab surd rumors to the contrary V1(18411114:0 ()V ROSS AND lIKR POVIES The Papacy is not so sear its end as many hope and expect It has survived many a tug as hard as the present In 1527 the cimilinied German sad Spanish armies of Charles V stormed and sacked Rome, en acting in its streets the most diabolical cru elties, burning torturithg. rubbing, ravishing, and (test re) nig for ten days Some six thou sand of the nthabitants perothed, ld 01/11,11,11 Crowns el plunder were collected, and Pope Clement VII . . paid 400,0,0 duds for bis rerun:ant Luther thatitit. that tire — rnd of Rome hid come. - Book has surviied and recovered S.xty years ago it was in the hands of Napoleon, who seemed to uesitate whether to crush it or not In lt‘3l and 1848 it was a prey to revollitioo Geri Lahti himerlf, at the last date, i pelting ' the rope, who escaped in the disguise 01 a footman on a coach box.

The Journal of the Franklin Institute says that the first locomotives in the United State' , ere biought over from England by Horatio .111 en, of New York, nr the fall of 1r 0 29 or the spring of 1830 ; and one of them was so ..upon llre Delaware and lludsou Railroad at Carbondale, Pa ; but being found too heavy for the track. its use was 6""d°'" The iirvt Ineomorre construct ed iii this country. was %mit allfhe West Point Foundry at New York. ih 1830, for the South Caroloia Railroad and named the Mini ms : a second engine was built the same year by the same establishment and for the same load, and named West Point. In the spring of 1831, a third engine was built by the sane establi‘linient, for the Mohawk and ' II ud-on Railroad from Albany to Scheneeta dv, and called lie Witt Clinton : ting was the lira: locolihrtivreOarn in the dtate of New York This e,ngin - j' was put on the road by David Matthews. The first Stephenson lo comotive ever imported to this country, was the Robert Fulton This engine was brought out in the summer of 1831, for the Mohawk and Hudson Railroad ; tt wee slitosequently rebuilt and named the John Bull The first railway laid in Pennsylvania for the conveyance of passengers was the Ger man town, and the first locomotive ever seen in Philadelphia (except Oliver Evan's queer port( ble machine ) was an engine which was imported from England for the use of the Germantown Railroad Company. It was brought up to the wharf in the dead of win. ter, shout the year 1830, and the strange looking machine attracted much attention as it was dragged up Chestnut street on a sled, over the frozen ground. The machine was a very different affair from the splendid en gin s• Which now run over our thousands of miles of railway track. IGp. Opp 109 12g 109 4The first locomnle ever built in Phila delphia, was a miniature affair, which was used to drag a train of cars. usually filled with boys, through the corridors of the Phil adelphia Museum, when that establishment was located in the old Arcade building, on Chestnut street. From this small beginning sprung an immense business in the build' ug of portable steam machines ; a single firm of builders of locomotives in Philadelphia, belie now on hand orders for no less than sixty machines,_ The advaiferof the science of laying rail road tracks has scarcely been less important! than the progress of improvement in locomo tives. When steam machinery was first put upon the Clerniantown Railroad, trains got off the track very frequently, but the rate of speed then made did not render this a dan gerous operation, and the screwjacits and crowbars which were always earned on the tilting enabled the ifersons in charge to put the iron horse and its oars in position again within - a reasonable apace of time. We have it on the authority of a gentle man very prominent in railroad matters in this State, that the engineer who construct ed the Columbia Railroad,-declared his con viction. at the time, that locomotive steam power could never be used on railroads, and be illustrated this inability to run steam-on iron tracks, by laying both rails at thirsamo level.

A thirty from town went out this week and returned, alter each one had taken not a claim of 100 feet front, run mg to the top of the mountain. The amount of silver supposed to be there Is almost fab ulous. D. 1' Thompson. Esq , one of Ile returned ?early, thinks the mountain is a mass of sil ver ore, con'aining probably hun • dreds of millions of the moist-al -or, at any rate, double as much as there is in the San tram mines, which were stated to amount to 100,0000/0 tons, which at 1.5 :133 to the ton —esttmated --would gee $53:1 3011,000,000. Supposing the !stolen' silver mutes to con tarn 200.000,0)0 of tone, and to be erm uni ly as etch as the Saneiam ore, there is no roes tion but that they are worth $1 (lfiti,000.000,• 000. iNristateritim AND ('unim s —ln the month of November, of last year, Mr Ilenry Sar tain of this citv, wrote on the back of his card, bearing his address in Phtlarlidphia, and placed it in a brittle which, hieing se curely corked, lie threw into the sea in lati tude 51 deg 20 min a longitude 29 deg 32 min.—that is, about 1500 iniles northwest from the enlist of France Just eleven months from that period he waited on Mayor Henry, in answer to a note from that gentle man. and, to his astonishment, beheld the identical card and writing he had cast on the waste of waters in the middle of the broad Atlantic.
