Since the formation of parties in this country, few' schemes have been concocted showing more, completely the absorbing object of Federalism' Ilian their contemptible union With tills party.— Power and its patronage, the love of office, and the aching desire for the emoluments of station, were tlie moving- springs of the unnatural coalition.—' Wo did'hot suppose such motives strong enough to. influence the stubborn nature of Federalism to the extent necessary to the formation of the most perfect union which seems to have be enoonsum mated throughout the North and .West. Men differing totally upon all the legitimate questions of public policy, by nature as dissimilar, ahd apr patently as incapable of close union, as oil and water, have; aided by theunnatural influences of corporate.funds and foreign.gold, so uriblushingly used and unsparingly lavished since the visit of Mr. Webster to the Barings of London, acted throughout with all the perfect harmony to be ex-’ peeled of irifen embarked in a common cause, and devoted entirely to-tlie sriccess of its principles.— In Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Pennsylvania, the Abolition ticket lias scarce been .heard of— In Ohio, from tlie returns published in tlie Nation aHuteiligencer, we do not learn that it received a. solitary vote. From'the reports which we have received, hut one Vote in Franklin, and mine only inlho strong. Abolition county of Muskingum,.are mentioned, while all our letters inform us that the Abolitionists have rushed to :tho support of the Harrison electoral ticket with a zeal bordering upon fury. ~ ~ . ' ' ' Abolition gave him the nomination for President at, Hamsh'urg; furnished the efficient power which turned tho scalo against the DemdcnVcy of the North and Westovhich filled the ballot boxes; arid if the Smith has nowunfortnnatelyfallen in tlie snare, the day which places Gcri.'

To the North and West the injury will be less disastrous. The defeatwhich the Democracy has sustained, and the triumph which the moneyed power and federalism have won, (if won,) will bo' but temporary,The Democracy of the free States have principles • to contend for which remain y'c; sacred. The party is untarnished by fraud ’ and crime, and the shafts of Abolition will full harm less at,their feet. They are barbed, but yet un stained by .any virus which is fatal to their peace or their domestic institutions. What would' be the condition of the South should they assume the attitude of n neutral, who feeling that his ally tins been unfaithful to his own interests, withdraws his opposing force, and offers to tho invader an unmo lested passage through his own peaceful territory. They might possibly tranquilize their localjfeuds, by leaving the questioner domestic eervi£ud§|tb the defence of those whose all is suspend the issue, and thereby regain their lost ascendency in the councils of the nation. Should the North ern Democracy, assume this attitude, we cannot find language adequate to the just expression of our fears for the result. Friends of your country, Democrats of the North, do not do it. Such a tri 'umph would be inglorious, humiliating. If you have been abandoned, if you have been-sacrificed to the cause of your brethren, still you have labor ed in the defence of righteous principles. You have performed a public duty, which you owed to the patriot fathers, who bequeathed us this glori ous Union. It is still worth defending as the last, the .proudest hope of the-friends of Republican freedom; If the South has done wrong, it is no 'cause why you should prove recreant to the caljs of duty. If the party in interest has abandoned the field, and loft' you to be slaughtered by their most deadly foe, whose onward progress you have heretofore firmly'and steadily- impeded, it is be cause they were .deluded and they have been betrayed and cajoled; and knew not what they did. 2453 IC2B 1744 12G0 4573 7G20 1710 3143 2440 2010 7425 3582 4488 4705 1804 2100 2242 1447 4682 " 5643 Melancholy Coincidence, —'the New York Taller relates the _ following, melancholy coincidence: “Mr. Peter Brigg%of this city, who died on Mon day, had a brother residing in Westchester county.

Of these, 70,509 wore foreigners; 34,000 from Groat Britain and Ireland, 19;000 from Germany, mul 7,000 from France.

Allien. has our thanks for a pamphlet copy of his very excellent address to lhq Senior Class of Dickinson College, delivered on the Bth of July last. We transcribe .a few sentences of the. Address, which will .bo ap preciated by all bur readers : ' “On whatever career of life yon enter, fix your eyes on the highest.point of possible excellence, and then persevere in your efforts to approach it. Probably, more persons fail for want of continued exertions, than for 1 want of high resolves, Thtiy make a few efforts with apparent zeal, but, meet ing no immediate'reward or discouraged by un foreseen difficulties, give over the struggle and sink down in listless iliac tinner gloomy misanthro py. The racer might as well think, to win the prize without the breath and bottom to reach the goal. Men. might with equal reason complain that the pure w ine does not sparkle in the enp without the care of vintage and’the labor of the wine-press. The great Roman orator devoted twenty years to constant application before ho commenced his public career; and afterwards, amidst the harrass inu anxieties of political life, found time, besides delivering an incredible number of orations, to .write valuable and learned works on a great variety of subjects. Do you inquire how ho ac complished all thisl Let him answer for himself in the oration for Archies the -poet; “Who then can justly censure me, if, ns much time as is given to other men for their own business; for the cele bration of festival days and other pleasures; for re pose of body andpiiuind; for gaming, ball, and nightly cnterUiinmciiisjg so much 1 appropriate to myself, and dorote’to> these studies.” Now the reasoh why so few attain similar eminence is that sot feW make similar efforts. ’What Cicero be came, he made himself; and whatever degree of usefulness or reputation you attain, must be the fruit of patient, resolute-toil. You live in an ago of unparalleled activity and enterprise in every de partment of human exertion. Mankind will hold you to a strict account and will pay only a fair equivalent for what they receive. No sinecures are bestowed to fatten the indolent; no garlands are woven for the brow of the sleeper. The laurel flourishes in living green on the summit of an ar duous.steep, and fie that-yvould pluck a perennial wreath, must toil up the rugged acclivity.” THE RESULT.
