" The . other evening, at Thaldeao’s and
ViEUXTEMPB , concert, tho audience mode it a
point, at the termination oF almost every se
parate performance, o( loudly expressing their
satisfaction. Thin must have been, and no
doubt wns, extremely gratifying to the ap
plauded persona, who accordingly mado their
obeisance to the audience, and retired. Hero,
according, to the .rules of common sense, tho
matter should have ended. Mutual com
pliments having been exchanged, tho public
and performers were oh an equal footing., But
hero the matter did not end. Repeatedly tho
perloritier. wqs applauded,/after leaving tho
platform, nnd compelled to courtesy or bow
her or his acknowledgments again.' In some
cases, even this did not suffice; more applause,
'louder and more imperative, and Madame
Mri VrEGXTBMpa, or Mr. Thalberg,
as the case might be, was compelled to con
sider this new and louder tumult as & command
from the audience, (commonly denominated
an .Encore,) and bad to repeat the song or tho
•instrumental performance. In most cases,
hoWQVor, it was hot a repetition, hut tho substi
tution of a wholly different piece. Tho au
dience, wo observed/took this In tho best pos
sible temper, and, Instead, of being angry at
not being favored with a re-hearing of what
so greatly pleased thorn, seemed especially de
lighted at something else having btien given.
In practicaVcffect, it was precisely as if a man,
greatly gratified with the material, cut, and fit
of a now black coat, should ask his tailor for
another (Mfltbont paying for tho second one)
and the liberal tradesman should send him
another coat—wholly different in cut, fit, cloth
and color. ‘ . . .
What took placa at the Concert, the other
evening, takes i place, much in the same way/
all over tho world, in concert-rooms, theatre
and opera-houses. In a word, this is'tho
Encore-system, about which a good has
been written and spoken, time out ofyiind.
•Has' an audience any right to ftfco a per
former to repeat any thing whicfyfo has sung
or played? It is set do.wn in programme or play
bill, that such and such perfrtftncrs will sing
or play such and such pieced The public pay
to’hear these, and these odly. Does that pay
ment give them the slightest equitable claim to
demand) and to more than has been
promised them? T 0 use tlio word enforce,
with duo deliberation, because it really docs
amount to all tb&u In nine casos out of ten,
the audience Ansiet upon their demand being
co&pb'ed The performed may en
deavor tp give them no more than has been
set in the bill—may think to sa-
with coming forward, at each fresh
outburst of applause, and bow his 1 acknowledg
ments. But (hat will not satisfy ah audienco.
,Tho put-cry is continued until it obtains the
encore, and the clamorers think themselves very
badly treated if their demands are not com
plied with. That this is not an overcharged
statement, any of our readers, in the habit of
attending public performances, can testify.
As to' the unfairiiess of it—here is a parallel
case. You go into a restaurant and take half
a dozen oysters j into a bookstore and buy a
book. The oysters arc excellent, the book is
capital reading* Would you have the /ace to ask
the restaurateur to give you (because the first
supply pleased your palate ) more oysters,
Without giving more money ? Would you ask
the bookseller to hand over a duplicate of the
work which gratified you ? What would T. B.
Peterson say to such a demand? Would ho
smile, arid bow, and voluntarily tako another
book from his shelves, without your banding
over another, dollar? Not he. But, accord
ing to the rule which you havo established
and whicli you practically apply in concert
room, theatre, and opera-house, you have a
right to do it, and it is Aw duty to comply.
Nay, if you buy a set of Chaju.es Dickens's
works from him, faavo you the slightest sha
dow; of a claim on him to demand, because
these books please you, that he must giro you
another set, or, by way of variation, band you
ovev, mtU’eirstead, a handsomely .bound sot
of the novels of Mrs. Hentz or Mrs* Soutii-
WORTIt ? ’ /
The public, acting as they do towards vocal
and instrumental, performers, are literally
guilty of exactly money updn
false pretence's,' but (musical) notes.
Tho «ncorc-exactcrs wholly disrespect tlio
JawAd rights of the minority. There may bo,
and there are, among all audiences, a number
of people who do not require tho repetition of
nuy'pieco. When the clamor arises, this mi
nority have ho way of expressing their dis
sent—because, though they might groan or
hiss, thus putting a negative against ah affirm
ative tumult, thoy decline doing so, in most
cases, from a delicate apprehension of having
their demonstration taken or raistakqn for an
expression, not against tho thing itself, but
Against the performers, personally/ Half a
dozen people, scattered through a concert
room, and determined on the repetition of any
particular piece, or of all the performances in
tho programme, can force tho accomplish
ment of theit desire. And they do, in many
cases. . , 1 '

dozen "Will connuenco 1 tho call, nnd snores more
will immediately joih in i(—simply because it
has been commenced.' 1
Oil the otlior hand, arises a cquiitor-qucs-'
tion—How do the poriiirmers like this sort c if
thing? .
Truth compels US to say that, hbwevor they
may affect to consider tho encore as an exac
tion, they would not bo well-satisfied, on tho
whole, at its not being givon. They may shrug,
and grumble, and make a show of dissatisfac
tion, but tlioy would rather bo called out, to
repeat ovory picco in tho programme, than
rest with ordinary expressions of applause.
For, to thorn, approbation is as tho breath
of life. If they havo it not, they are grieved,
and desponding, and fancy themselves unap
preciated. Madame D’Anori and Mr. Tiiai.-
BEna (nnd all tho whole set of public per
formers) would,rather, sing themselves hoarse,
and play until their fingers wore tired, in com
pliancowiflitlic Call fo'rViifbreJ tiltin'rest con
tent with that call riot bolng mado. ' 1
The gratification of tho amour propre of this
or that porformor, however, is not the sole
thing to ho considered. To a great propor
tion of tho audience, tho encore system Is a
nuisance. They do not want, mnny of them,
to bo inundated with a profusion, of song add
music. They may like it in moderation—not
in excess. A drop of nttar of roses or essonco
of violets is pieasantj'but a quantity is oppros
-sive. It makes one - ' ■ ' '‘' ''
■' h ulu.of In ftremSUo pain.” '
Wo wish; ftdnrthe bottom of our heart, that
some performers, of eminence, duly consider-'
ing the case, would have tho goodness ,to
notify tho public that they would give all that
they promise in their programmes, and'
nothing more. -If thoy ; would do this,
and Steadily act. upon it, the minority
(who' usually start the encore cry) would
have no iocits standi, or rather locus vo~
ci/cfandi, and tho audionee would gladly in
sist on tlioro being no encore. And one great
gain would bo the . result. At present, com
paratively few pieces aro set down in the pro
gramme, bccauso tho performers aro compelled,
to hear in mind the chnnco of.ropetlUon..’ Dis
pense with encores nnd tho public'will havo
more fnlness and variety in tho hills. Hero
would be a gain, and . hero, having made a
practical suggestion, wo close'tho subject.
CONGRESSIONAL RECOLLECTIONS.-NQ. .1
GOV. MCDOWELL’S GEEAT SPEECH
In 1840. ' ' ,
James MoDowelb, of Virginia, though not
in all respects a great man,,was a truo .orator
In tho best meaning of that terra. His tall,
straight figure, liis sweeping and graceful ges
tures, his clear clarion voico, made him ono of
the most striking figures on the Congressional
stage. Ho was not a frequent participant Id
ilebato, but when he did speak, it was after the
most elaborate preparation, not only ic the mat
ter of his argument, hut also in tho manner and
style of tho delivery. Wo shall not soon forgot
his great speech in tho House of Kepresenta.
fives, in tho Thirtieth Congress, qecond session,
while the country was oonviilsed with the
fearful excitemont growing out Of tho acquisi
tion of territory in the, Mexican war, and
prior to tho Adjustment or Compromlso mea
sures. Tills speech was delivered by Gov.
McDoweil, on tho 28d of February, 1849, be
fore tho inauguration of Gonoral Taylor, and
when the great parties in Congress were
arming for that subsequent struggle which
camo so near leaving one branch of tho Go.
vemraent a lasting prey to the most disgrace
ful dissensions, and also of brooking up tho
Confederacy. Among the leading members of
tlio Houso when Gov. McDowell doliverod
this momorablo appeal, woro David .Wilmot,
Charles llaowx, Charles J. Ikoebsoll,
Wm. Steoxo, and James Thompsox, (tho two
Democratic candidates for Supremo‘Judges
in tho present campaign,) Joseph B. Ixoeb
soll, Chester Butler, Of Pennsylvania ,• from
Virginia fliord were Thomas H, Bayly, Thos.
F. Booook, R. K. Meade, andi. others ; from
South Carolina, Khett, Holmes, Bimr,-Ac. i
from Georgia, Cobb, Stephen's Toombs, &o. j
from Indiana, Georoe G- and others.
Such at that timo was 'ho material of tho
Houso. Tho defeat of'Gcncral Cass in tho
precoding November contest, (1848,) and tho
fact that a numhfd of representatives who
camo into tho Thb<loth Congress as Democrats
had gono over to Mr. Van Buben in, tho
Presidential struggle, among whom was Mr.
Wilmot, tlypresont Republican candidate for
Governordf Pennsylvania, greatly increased
the interest and acrimony of tho discussions.
qp 0 /hrtlier fact that the policy of Gonoral
Tajlcb, tho now President, was, as yet,
:1 ‘matter of speculation and doubt, added
to tho strong foolteg between tho parties
on tho floor, on the vital point of tho future
disposition of tho now territory. Tho great
issue of the admission of California as a Stato
Was urged by a powerful party, In and out of
tho National Legislature. Calhoun, Webster,
Benton, Foote, Jeep. Davis, W. R. Kino, of
Alabama, Douolas,, Allen and Corwin, of
Ohio, Diokinbon, of Now Tork, Clayton,
Bmanr, Hunter, were members of the Se
nate; and, as is well known, somo extraordinary
excitements aroso in that, as well as in the
other branch. It was under' such circum
stances that Governor McDowell mado
his spoceh. Tho effect was marvellous. His
whole effort was of surpassing dignity and elo
quence. It carried tho Houso hystorm. ' Tho
ihcxorablo “one-hour rule” was suspended
to allow the venerable orator to conclude his
exhortation. Even Judge Wilmot and the
Abolitionists were awed into respect for tho
occasion and thoman. And why was (his? It
was not tho elevated stylo, nor the classic fig
ures, nor tho stately, tho warm and impassioned
rhetoric of tho Virginian, that subduod all
hearts. It was tho modorato and conservative
sentiments which ho uttered that impressed
lis fellow-members. It was because ho drew
his inspiration from tho fountain of love for
tho wliolo country—bccauso ho spoke for a
threatened Constitution. Before tho tido of
argument and of expostulation, faction for a
moment hid its head, and tho angry waves of
personal recrimination rotired. A fitting con
clusion to such a sketch as this is tho publi
cation of a few oxtracts from this master-ef
fort of a master-mind, now gathered to his
fathers, with Calhoun, Webster, Clay,
Wbioht, Ci. acton, nnd tho rest—and wo need
not ask our roadors to poruso thorn carefully.
Thoy aro indeed jowols worthy of remembrance
and reference by a proud, grateftil, and happy
people:
rWell, gentlemen, go on with your schoraos, carry
out your proposition of “froo labor and fVoe soil”
to too uttermost; rule out the slavo from your tor*
ritories; rule out tho South, your true and loyal
partnor inovory extremity for sovonty yoars; rulo
norout from all duo participation in those terri
tories; use all tho liberty and all tho faculties
which your union with her has imparted to your
selves to orash her right to aeo-oquality with you
in the use and enjoyment of a common property;
call upon hor to bow down and submit to condi*
tions os conditions precedent to suoh enjoyment
which, or the’equivalents of which, in your own
cose, you would indignantly refuse; do all this,
and do it in such a'way as will go tho furthest t)
offend her sense of jUßtico and of constitutional
right—to wound her honor, to mortify hor quick
and generous spirit: and 1 what, at last, will you
have accomplished by,it all? What amount cf
public good at all commensurate with so much sec
tional wrong? What, in fact, will you havo doto
by it, except to depopulate the South in a groit
measure or her white inhabitants, and to put tho
residue, together with thoir slaves, in a state of
Aggravated and appalling dangor to ono another ?
q/hTa is all that you will have done. And is this
an achievement worthy of yonr philanthropy and
your labors? Is this an object for whioh^in tho
judgment of patriots, statesmen, and Christians,
the angriest passions of tho country ought to bo
arousod,' Us greet divisions thrown into commotion
with one another, and our blessed Union itsolf
brought into dangor—-that Union which, noxt to
personal liborty, (and it Is a high proteotor even cf
that,) is to every American tne richest of all the
publia treasures which Heaven has to give—that
Union whioh, considered oven as Antagonistic to
the hopes of the Blavc, (though it is not so,) would
still, in tho righteous judgment of tho world, bo
worth more, immeasurably more, to us and to
mankind, than all tho slaves of ail tho globe to
gether? Extinguish it, if you can, in a ruthless
and senseless crnsAde for tho slave, and he and his
advocate and his master will suffer add perish
togothor. Light up, if you can, tho warfaro and
the spirit of another Peter tho Hermit, and in this
case, as in that, you will bo rewarded with desola
tion and a tomb.
Hero, then, wo havo, always boforo us, tho re
markable phenomenon of ono rooe of mankind
living, ana living for upwards of two hundred
years, In the midst of another race, and yet iooapa*
bio, by roasoh. of natural Jaws, of disappearing by
inoorpqrafcloh with it, and thereby ieeilpabJo also of
impairing or losing any of its original and nativo
characteristics. Tno final oause of this phononpi
uon inqat.ba looked for oither.in that primitive
doom upon Canaan by which ho was sentenced to
bo “ a servant of servants unto his brethren,” or
it is to be-found iii somo high and renovating
function which tbo American slavo is yet to fulfill
in the redemption of tho continent from which ho
camo,
Besides this pliygloal immutability of tho
ns a rnoe amongst us, lio has in associalion with it
another peculiarity, scarcely leas striking or signl
fionnt than^hto: und that is jito extraordinary ap
titude to, possess himself, qs if by intuition, of nil

gressions of England, and never aftor, even in tho
Fainting hours of tho struggle that fullowoJ, wore
thoy absent from tho duty or tho spot whero thoir
valor or thoir counsols woro required. Nourished
by tho samo spirit, sharing as twin sistor3 iu tho
struggle and (po horitago of tho sumo revolution,
what is tboro in any domund of national faith or of
constitutional duty, or of publio morals, which
should separate them now ? What is thoro in theso
groands—tho sound nnd tho truo grounds of na
tional conduct—that should induce Massachusetts
to disavow tho rights, disown the equality, disdain
•tho remonstrance, or scorn tho toolings and tho
honor of hor host, her strongost, und hor ourlicst
friond ? Wbat is there in tho possibilities of sec
tional advantage so prooious us to justify hor, or
any othor, in riskiug, for a singlo moment, tho
danger of incurablo taraily discord in order to ob
tain it ? It is not for us ns a people or as States,
to stay tho march of that unseon and otcrnul causo
whioh sweeps over tho dovices and tho trophies of
man, and crowds whole nations in melancholy
procession to tho tomb.. But it to for us, as both,
to stay tho very beginnings of that family quarrel
which novor fails, wheresoovor it occur?, to hurry
onward and downward tho destiny of a pooplo,
and which so strips tho destiny that it hurries on
of every hopo that could soothe, nnd so surrounds
it with every olemont of uttor nnd appalling woe,
astomarkit out from all common curses fur tho
shuddering, tho horror, and the admonition of
man. Shrinking from such a fate as this, and
from the causes that irapol to it, wo chortoh with
tho deeper forvor tho just and the nutur&l hope
that hero, in this honored tomplo of our common
liborty, Virginia and Massachusetts, by whose
bands and whoso wisdom in chief it was roared
Into powor, will sit und worship sirfo by side for
over; that here, in tho peace of Heaven nnd of
oaoh other, with olean hands and pure hearts, they
will always minister in public things, doing light
to all, wrong tonoue; tint here they will carry on,
to its brightest consummation, tho iltustiious
carcor thoyhavo begun, comforting, cheering, sup
porting ono another through nil tho conflicts of the
day, nnd mitigating, should thoy ovor come, tho
convulsions «f tho last hour bv tho southings of a
last embrace : thus testifying, for tho honor of our
nature, to a national fidelity, which thoie v.as
nothing in tho power of temptation that oould cor
rupt, nnd nothing but tho power of doath that could
destroy.
Gontlerucn, Representatives of Massachusetts,
what say you? Aro you agreed? Your equals
boforo the Revolution began—your equals when it
did bogin—oonfedovutod as your equals in 1777
unitod as suoh in 1767-^ co-operating with you as
suoh in tho administrnlion of our common country
from tho declaration of indopondonoo to tho presout
hour, nud so confederated, united, nnd co-opera
ting with you with all tho local rights and institu
tions whioh-are objected to us now—aro you agreed
what wo wore and aro, and ought to bo and must
be, wo shall always continuo to bo, your equals—
inviolably your equals still 7 Aro you agreed to
this 7 If so, then, in tho sight of licuvou und of
man, wo shall renow this day a compact, not of
peaoo only—no, no; not only of penoo. grateful ns
that alono would bo —but a compuotof immortality
for our country.
As tbo powers of this Government, and, there
fore, to ft groat oxtent, tho dostinics of this conn
try, aro intrusted officially to our iuimto—it is our
duty, to give all vigilnuco of our and oyo and
thought—to everything that can affect them. It is
for us, then, to bo wninod by that voice that comes
from ftll tho records of nil the past, and eomes In
admonish us, that lost republics aro lost forever;
that though thoir spirit novor dies, but abides
upon the earth to enlighten, to improve, nnd to
bless it, yot that it never revives to regonorato
thorasolves. Look ut tho roptilo nnd the tiger, us
they have dwelt for ages in tho habitations of tho
Holy City; look at despotism, woreo tUnnoithcr.
as it has nestled und broodod with its raven wing
upon tho very bosom of buried republics, ttml be
warnod of that mystorioua doom, that ovidont or
dination from on high, whioh connects, in eternal
fellowship, the privileges with tho punishments of
nations, and npvor allots tlio highest blessings but
side by side with tho heaviest woes. Let us bo
warned by this fated conjunction to putnwny all
passion, and prejudice, and parricide—unacknow
ledged but latent parriculo—from amongst us, to
gatbor around and to tho sido of our country;
to heal tho chafing? and wounds of her spirit by
tho unity and fervor of our own ; to bo ready our
solvos to sacrifioo and suffer, if need bo, that sho
may never sorrow or porish ; and if thoro is a curso
in all our bordors, let it abide for tho overwhelm
ing of him who comoth not up in tho hour of trou
blo to succor, to defend, and to save ; —yes, for tho
ororwholmipg of him nnd such ns him; for whore,
under Providence, but upon tho heart—tho oon
stantand devoted hoart— wlioro but upon tho patri
otism and the virtue of hor sons to tno country to
roly in tho moment of advorslty, or at any time to
roly against tho porvorsion of her own mighty
olemonts of good iuto mighty engines of evil ?
Givo us but ft part of thatdovotion which glowed
in tho heart of tho younger Pitt, and of our own
older Adams, who, in tho midst of their agonies,
forgot not tho countries thoy hud lived for, butmin
glea with tho spnsms of thoir dying hour a last and
Imploring appeal to t!u> Parent of all Moreics that
110 would remembor, in otornnl blessings, tho land
of their birth: givo ns their devotion—giro ustlmt
of tho young enthusiast of Paris, who, listening to
Mir&beou in ono of hii surpassing vindications of
human rights, ohd soeing him fall from his stand,
dying, ay a, physician proclaimed, for tho want of
blood, rushed to the. spot, und as ho bent over the
expiring man, bared his arm for tbd lancet, find
cried again und'agnin, with impassioned
‘‘Here, take it—toko it—oh! take it fromnw;
let we die, so that Mirabeau and the libertiesof
,n y country may not perish!" • Give us something
only of such a spirit os this—something only of such
n loro of country, and wo are safe, forever safo;
tho troubles whioh shadow over and oppress ns now,, ,
«rtil pass away ns a enidtncr cloud. No measure
of unallowable wrong, no measure of bneonquerahlo
disagreement, will bo pressed upon us hero. The
fatal element ol all our discord will bo taken from,
amongst us. Lot gcntlomen bo entreated to re
move it, a a the one only and solitary obstaolo to
pur Tiorf<3Dt peace. Lot them be adjured by the
weal of this and of coining ages—by our own and
our children's good—by all that wo love or thatwe
look for m the progress and tho glories of ourland
to leave the entire suhjoet of slavery, with every
accountability it may impose, every remedy itway
require, every accumulation of difficulty or of pres
sure it may rcaob—to leave it all to the interest
to tho wisdom, and to tho conscience of those upon
whom tho providence of God and the Constitution
of their country have cast it. Leavo it to them,
vou\and forever, and stop, whilst it is yet possi
ble to stop, the furious ana blind headway of that
wild and mad philanthropy, which Is lighting up
tho .Nation itself 4 thp fireti of the stako,. aiid
which js rushing on, stride after stridofto an in
testine struggle tbAt may bury us all under a
and harder, wickeder, and more incurable slavery,
than any it would extinguish.
Nothing but aggravation of heart and of lot haye
boon brought upon tho poor slave by the rash and
uuy arranted efforts whioh have been put forth to
reliovo him. They linvo broken down the footing
ho had ronohed, crushed tho sympathies ho hid
won, embarrassed and accursed the fortunes they
wero intonded to control. The generous and
elevating influence of our free institutions was re
laxing his bondage, bettering his condition, lifting
up his ohnraotcr, turning upon him the public
anxieties and tho public counsels, as a fit and de
serving object of provident and public provision—
was ehanging : at ail pointu, tho aspeots of his fate,
wbon tho spirit of Abolitionism, political aDd fa
nntio, oaino from abroad to scourge him with, a
demon visitation, to wronch him from tho arms of
his only true and only oapable benefactors, to
throw him back again upon tho earth, a thousand
fold more suspected, separate, and forlorn thhn
over; riveting upon him ovory fetter it would
looscu, poisoning every blessing it would bestow;
and so filling bis wholocase with elements of hope
lessness, explosion, and evil, that the heart shqd*
dors whilst it weeps to look upon it. What are they
wbookoribh and direct this spirit 7 Friondsof the
slave? Thoy nro robbing him of every vestige-of
liberty ho has left. Friends of humanity ? They
aro staking it, ruthlessly staking it, upon tbo issues
of massacro and convulsion. Friends of tho coqn
try 7 They are rapidly becomingit3 iron homicides,
cleaving down its Constitution with murderous
aim, and tearing it limb from limb. j
Should it ever happen, as tho result of any in
terference and action bore, that some insurgent
obullition of tho slavo will break out amongst
us, that tho blood of our people will be made'to
stream in our dwellings, ana ooze up from the
bosom of the soil that feeds us, it will cry aloud, like
that of Abel, for veDgennoo against tho brother’s
hand that shed it; and vengennae would bo hid,
though every drop that was left should be ponyod
out in ono anguished and dying effort to obtain It.
Nothing but lfoaven could stop a people so lashed
up to phronsy by rage and suffering and wrong,
from sending baok upon the firesides and tho fiolua
of the guilty that visitation of ealamity.and death
which had first been sent to desolato their own.
Sparo, oh! aparo us tho curso of a broken brother
hood—of a ruined, ruined, ruined oountry. Re
member that there are no groans like the groans
of expiring liborty—no convulsions like those
whioh her dying agonies extort. It took Rome
somo threo hundred years to die Withfardeopor
vitality than hors, our end. when it comes, will
coino with a far keener, cruoler, and bitterer pahg.
tiivo up our common and united oountry—give
it up at tho (jail of somo scotionaj interest—sacrifice
it to tho pbrensy of fanatloiam or of pussion—dot
it go down, down, under somo monstrous and hpr
riblo struggle of brother with brother,—do this, ind
you will got it back again ns you have it now—the
homo of happiness, the city upon a hill towering up
for tho light and for tho boalingof nations—you
will got it thus again whon tbo “shadows shall go
buck upon the dial of Ahaz”—when Ho who sent
out tho luminary of day upon his march shall again
put forth his hand and stop him in his pathway of
light; # !
It is said, sir, that at somo dark hour of our revo
lutionary contest, when army after army had been
lost, whim dispirited, beaten, wretched, the hsart
of the boldest and falthfulest died within them,
and nil, for an instant, seemed conquered except
tho unconquorablo son! of our fatbor-chlef,—it is
said that at that moment, rising abofro all tho,au

[Correspondence of The Press.)
Wasuixoton, Penn., Sept. 22J. 1857.
Knowing tho deep interest you feel in every
thing portuining to the wolfaro of our glorious old
party, I have concluded to tell you of tho visit of
General Pnckor to our place on Saturday. It was
a day that will not soon bo forgotten. A commit
tee, appointed for tho purposo, mot tho General at
Cannonsburg. seven miles east of this place, about
II o'clock, and before they left thero, they wore
Joined by a largo number of Democrats from Wash
ington, and othor parts of tho county, who wore
oager to pay their rcspocts to our noblo standard
bearor. The prooossion roaohod Washington at
onoo’clook. At two tho meeting convoned in our
capacious Court room, which was well filled. In
times of high political excitement, pending Presi
dential oleetionß, wo have, of course, hml larger
meetings, but not more enthusiastic. It was or
ganized by culling Wm. Hopkins to tho chair, and
, appointing u number of Vice-Presidents, .to. To
attempt ovon an outlino o£ Gonoral Pncker’a ad
dress. would do him great injustice, and having no
pretentions to being a “ roporter,” I will content
mysolf with saying, that it was one of tho most
triumphant vindientionsof tho policy of tho Demo
cratic party, especially on tho slavery question,
that it has been my fortune to liston to for a long
timo. Ho spoke for two hours and fifteen minutes,
aud during tho ontiro time tho profonndest atten
tion was paid by tho largo audiouco. and tho re
peated bursts of applause which his convincing
arguments und burning oloquonco called forth
tolil, in an unmistakable maimer, how ho was ap
preciated. The General has made a decidedly fa
vorablo impression upon our pcoplo, and if it does
not tell at the coining election, I shall be mistaken.
Tho Democracy of Washington county have not,
forumuy yours, been better united or rnoro proud
ly erect.
Tho General left for Pittsburgh this morning, in
company with Mr. Barr, of tho Dost, who had
brought him to Cannonsburg.

Saturday last, tho 19th instnnt, was a good day
for tho Dcinooraoy of York couty A largo and
enthusiastic mooting of tho friends of tho Union

the existence of thu right feeling among our ster

LETTER. FROM NEW YORK,
(Correspondence of The Press ]
New Yobk, Sept. 26—5.20 P. M.
The gloom, excitement, and trouble of yester
day, continue unabated to-day, and never since
the beginning of the panto was money more hard
to obtaiu, it being the apparent resolve of those
who have money “ to keep snug ” as they express
It, and not ( even bo tempted by tho immense
rates which borrowers are willing to pay. To
give you an idea of the market, a note was offered
for discount to-day for sl.3oo—a good reliable
note—and the best that oould be done was to con
sent to a sacrifice of $9OO off the face 1 Tho news
from Baltimore, Washington, and Richmond, on
the top of yesterday’s news from your oity, natu
rally increased tho general alarm. It to certain
that tbero to no canse for this fear.
Our banks are impregnable. Tho y cannot sus
pend, even by act of Legislature; our commercial
houses generally aro vqry sound; the New England
banks aro in a much better condition than last
week, and, by telegraph at 3 o’clock, we learn that
they are quito strong. We have every prospect of
rohof iu the proximato arrival of the next Califor
nia steamer with specie, and the proofs of the trea
sure lost in the Central America, which will put a
large sum in circulation; and, I repeat, we have
immense sources of wealth' in our crops, which
only need “united action” and confidence to make
immediately available. It to the paramount duty
of everybody to remind these men who “ keep
snag in such times, that they are acting like the
pursued ostrioh whioh sticks its head in the sand.
All these men have bills receivable, and if they,
and all those who have money, lock their safes and
refuse to accommodate, failure after failure mast
ensue, and what then becomes of their “ bilta re
ceivable
II there was a little more presence of mind and
courage, half of our trouble conld be averted- bu*
so-long as every ono cries, “The d—l take the
hindmost” no action to possible to arrest thepro
fresa of the storm. If Friday was the brightest
ay since the beginning of the “panto,” to-day
was certainly the darkest. I record things as they
are, at tho same time that I emphatically state
that fear—groundless fear—to the worst feature in
tho present aspect of affairs. Foreign Exchange to
as unsettled as it can be. Bills on London, (60
days) are quoted nt 104a105 for commercial names,
and lOGalo? for bankers’ signatures. The Baltic,
wrnch sailed to-day for Europe, took out no specie.

The Clearing Honse settlement this morning was,
as usual, perfectly satisfactory. Clearings, 514,-

and tho market dosed very heavy and irregular.
Everything on the list is lower from * to 5 per

Now York Central sold at 65 at the second board,
and afterwards at 63. Reading stands at 37f, Erie

and Rhode Island at 66. Penna. Coal Company
opened at an advance of 2 percent., which was
subsequently lost. Tho Erie Railroad Company

A Case et Commercial Ethics.
(From the New York Evening Post of Sept. 28.]
It is a not uncommon thing now-a-days to hear
of commercial houses suspending payment, not, as
they allege, from inability to meet their engage
ments, but from unwillingness to pay two or three
per cent a month for money, or to sell their mer
chandise at a sacrifice. In some instances wo have
hoard this course commended as an example to
others, who owe more money than they can conve
niently pay. A little reflection must satisfy any
one that this principle of action cannot be defended
for an instant.
If by submitting to present sacrifices it is mani
fest that a linn would be unable to meet all its
liabilities, and would have inevitably to fail, then,
undoubtedly, it is just to all to suspend at once ;
but if the firm has " a surplus,'* as we ace so often
reported of suspended houses, then if they can
raise the money to meet their maturing obliga
tions, it wosld bo dishonorable to succumb. The
effect on the community at large of suspending
payment under such circumstances is to increase
distrust and embarrassment, and the result to
the immediate creditors is often ruinous. The
house with “ the surplus’’ may pay iu fall in a
year or so, have ‘‘something handsome” left,
und _ fool that they are deserving of especial
credit for paying up dollar for dollar, with
iutcrest. But the smaller dealers, who are de
pending on their first-class paper to meet their
own obligations, and who are not of sufficient im
portance to susjKnd, will havo to fail, assign, and
wind up, and, >ory likely, have their whole busi
ness irretrievably broken up, their goods forced off
for oash, and, in short, be completely ruined. Every
clear-headed man in business must know that mo
ney is an article of merchandise, and that its value
fluctuates with tho supply aud demand, and that
an agreement to deliver one thousand dollars in
six months should be carried out upon the game
grounds that an agreement to deliver one thousand
roams of paper or a thousand bushels of wheat
should be, although at the expiration of the time
the dollars, or the paper, or tho wheat, were to cost
ten, or twenty, or any other per cent, more than
was anticipated.
In this country the value of what we call money
fluctuates more than in any other in the world, for
the simple reasou that wo have conspired among
ourselves to do with but a minimum quantity of it.
and have substituted therefor more bank debt in
its various forms. If we will do business in that
way, let us, at least, take the bitter with the sweet.
Let us not take the money when we win, and re
fuso to pay when wo lose. To withhold property
that might pay our debts because no one will allow
as much for it as we think it worth, is a fraud upon
our creditors which it is difficult to distinguish in a
moral point of view from swindling,
