SEWARD. When Blitz or Hermann or Heller borrows a gentleman's watch, and pounds it up in a mortar, and shows us the broken fragments, and then with a ",Y~`Presto!" hands us back our watch, without crack or flaw, rather better than I°' ..„t,,:w, we all cry out: "Lo! the 'miracle!" '. !!'1,o! the magician!" But we know, the while, that what we should cry isi "Lo, the clever fellow!" ~ It is.with some such admiring feeling 13 this that we read Mr. Seward's clever e ech at the Cooper Institute. That le.magician borrows from us the Gov ernment. "Now, will some gentleman be kind enough to break this pretty toy into several pieces? Good! You are all sure that it is fairly broken? Very good! Now you will watch me carefully. , You be I take the pieces and put them into y gre,en bag; I shake tklem up once!— twice! = , thrice! 'Now look! I open the bag—r put in my hand—so! and here we are again, as sound as a dollar, and con siderably better than new!" Now we know perfectly well that- one of two things has happened. Either the Gov , ernment was not really broken at all, or . else its restoration is imaginary and not -real. But in both cases the magician is 190 clever and adroit that we ap "Ailaud his talents, and go away wonder 'kg, how it was done. 4. `Dropping the metaphor, we ,do not , hesitate to say that Mr. Seward's expla ;nation of and apology for the President's position are ably and cleverly done. Tar behind the radical sentiments of .onr Free trade friends in New York, he ;argues-the subject with good temper and ,good taste. His references to Congress Are made in that decorous and respectful tone which should always mark the relations.of one, branch of the Govern- Omit to another. His whole tone id friendly and •conciliatory. His idea of the necessary gravitation of States into the 'Union is ingenious and captivating to the “3nanifest destiny" mind; and many persons after reading his speech will wonder'what- all the public excite ment has been about, until they reflect that the object presented for their in speetion by Mr. Seward was not the one that is really in question, but an entirely different one dressed up to a close re semblance to The real .issue is the onicnt, fitness of the South I=E2MMM TOWER HALL, No. 518 Market Street, BENNETT & CO. While the Secretary of State was making his skilful defence of the Presi dent, in New York, on Thursday even ing, the President was delivering, a speech in Washington that will send a thrill of pain through every loyal heart in the land. However good men might differ about the Veto Message, no one who has a spark of patriotic feeling, or a particle of regard for the honor and dig nity of the Presidency of the United States, can avoid the impression which this unhappy speech must make. No public rnan ever made such a speech before; Intemperate, unjust, unreason able and untrue, the President's ha rangue suited the audience: before whom 4was delivered; but alas ! 4at it could not have, been confined to their ears. The swift-winged lightning has already scattered it alt•over the land, making men's hearts fail them for very fear. The President arraigng members of Congress, in violent terms, as traitors, rebels and assassins, and charges gen tlemen, whose steadfast loyalty is above the breath of suspicion, with conspiring to break up the government. The whole speech, in which Mr. Johnson seems to have thrown off every restraint, sheds a flood of light upon the veto message, and shows the spirit of personal hostility which dictated, that document. The contrast between the coarse slang and unbridled temper of tills speech and the gentle, genial spirit, with which Mr. Lincoln smoothed the rough ways of his administration will strike every reader. Mr. Lincoln's -trials and perplexities were tenfold what Mr. Johnson's need to be, but no brie ever heard!'from the lips of Mr. Lincoln, or, indeed; from the lips of any ruler,of a civilized nation an oration such as that of President John son on Thursday night. We,do not yet know what course Congress will take to re-assert its loyalty, so rudely and and denly assailed. The tendency of the kreddent's speech is "to make loyalty kmle.bhaJi,lkNa.lsKisMaMiil ern States to resume their position of equality and power in the councils of the nation. Upon Ibis vital point Mr. Seward truly declares that fwe all agree` that the rebel States are to come back at some time. Rat Congress, s sole judge of the qualifications of itsmembers, stands upon its right to inqUire whether these States have yet so purged them selves of their disloyalty las to make them fit to legislate for the Country. In the face of a mountain of evidence that the spirit of the South is still one of en forced submission and not of willing loyalty, Congress does well to inquire, through its properly appointed com mittee, into this grave question, and the President's impatience ofl this Com mittee's searching examination seems to be the key to the wholepresent difficulty. We fear that he is by this impatience retarding instead of promoting the work of reconstruction, and we doubt if eveli, Mr. Seward's clever effort at the Cooper Institute will shake the faith of Con gress in the rectitude of its course, or its equality in patriotism and eommon sense with the other branches of the Government. PUBLIC CONADENCE. English consols have always been re garded as the very best indication of public credit, or, in other words, the price at which' they are held is the best testr.of the confidence of the people in the stability of their, government. A change of ministry, a difference between the sovereign and parliament, or even political agitations upon the contitient, have a marked effect upon these suscep tible securities, and the reports of the London stock market are as clear indi cations of the state of public confidence as the thermometer is a test of the tem perature of the weather, or as the steam gauge is an evidence of the amount of pressure upon the boiler. A serious dif ference between the Queen and her parliament, particularly if she did not possess the power to prorogue it at will, would speedily bring down the prices of public securities towards zero. On Monday last the President of the United States vetoed a very important Con gressional measure, and the act caused a bitterness of feeling among the friends of the bill that has made an undeniable breach between the executive and the popular branches of the government. A similar condition of things would have speedily affected the price of consols, and according to the extent of their de pression the want of confidence in the stability of the government would be betrayed. Our government bonds are practically American consols, and they would as readily denote any want of confidence in respect of • the stability of the government. It is a curious fact that on the day succeeding the reception of the veto message of the President there was a slight appreciation in the price of biith the seven-thirty and the five-twenty bonds, while in gold there was no change whatever. We take this fact as a strong, evidence of the entire confidence of the people in the stability of the government, and of the firm be lief that however much statesmen may differ in respect to matters of public policy, the commotion is only upon the surface, while the deep and broad foun dations of the government remain un disturbed. The English boast greatly of the superiority of monarchical institu tions over our own, claiming that the throne is firmly fixed and that republics are uncertain and unstable. The result of thd late.war proves that the republic can preserve itself; while the experience of the present week shows the entire confidence the people feel in its ability to not only sustain itself but also to meet all ifs engagements. Could the English government stand the same test, and "the price of consols" show as satisfac tory a result ? We think not.

On Monday evening the Academy of Music will be opened by Mr. Leonard Grover for a season of German opera.l The ever popular _Faust, which was first played in this country at the Academy and by a German company, will be the opening opera, Mme.

Notwithstanding it is Lent, there is a prospect of a very brilliant season. MR.
