RELIEF OF THE LABORING CLASSES Those who recommend measures of relief for ,thd Working -classes ought to boar in mind that there is no necessity of treating them as pau pers. Do ,that, and the moral. dignity and in dependence of that numerous.and useful and generally intelligent class is' destroyed; for these people 'ask,' at the bands of the more moneyed portion of the community, not Cheri. ty,lnit Work'. And for this'ohey have every blaimAion Society. Give a laboring man a dole of a dollar, and though his necessity May 'comnbi him Co accept it, he will not thank ,you, and, he cannot thank you, as much' as if you had allowed%him, in the independence mid dignify of labor, to give you so ranch work in exchange for so much money. Let each man judge of such a case as this„ by, hirgaeif , What is each man, in this great Commonwealth; but a laborer? the degree Only Making the distinction. We, who work With the, brain, are as much laborers as any who with the strong band. Were ado in extreme 'need, which would be most accep table to our own self-respect—the gilt of a small sum 'of Money, a .mere charity-dole, or such employment es would enable us to give an equivalent exchange of value ?—bruin-work against head-work. The laboring classes of this country—the horny-handed men of toll—are 19olly, di , ff'oront from, and greatly superior kJ, the laboring classes of Europe—too many of whom flit between the gin ,shop and the work house, the cabaret and the charity-food histi tuthon. With us, they are educated, and, above all, they are independent citizens, in inll enjoy:- wont of as many, and as great political rights, as Presidentßuonaresa, or GeneralOAss, or Attor ney-General BLACK, or any other distinguished man in the country. WO must not. Insult such a class by treating them as paupers. Many, too many, of this class arc thrown out Ef work, , by , the commercial, avalanche which has fallemso crushingly upon the Indus trial resources, not of this city or that city only, but upon the country at large. That we shall emerge from this gloom (earlier, it may be, than is generally imagined,) is not to ho doubted, in a land like ours, abounding, thanks to God's wise and benevolent Provi denee;with every thing required for food and clothing. But, in the interval—while we await that 't good time coming," so harmoniously promised in CIIIRLES' BIAOILAY'S popular lyric—what era our out-of-work workers to do ? What :can be done for, them 1 In no Isolated, no solitary position do they stand. Most of them have wives ,and children—many Of them, with pious care, arc the solo support of aged mothers and other relatives. For it is a fact, that, as they less and less abound in the goods of fortune, these hard-working children of Humanity do more and more ex ercise the'household virtues. Among what is called a the_ higher circles," you may often hear of a rich man neglecting Ids aged or his less fortunate relatives—among the working classes, rarely. Great and good hearts have they, however humble their station. For such men, cannot some medium be provided, between the destitution caused by utter want of work, (which seems inevitable, to &large extent, for some time,) and down right,Charity ? Is there no way of providing 'work for, them? Will no one suggest various descriptions of labor on which they can ho Want of means, we are persuaded, !gill not stand in the way. At ward and 'other public meetings, all over the city, and by an or ganized system of collections, a great deal of money can be raised, for the purpose of keep ing the laboring classes in work. It must be provided—even for our 'own sake. Idleness is even worse, in its actual operation ou the community, than Poverty—for Idleness has a tendency to open the door to Vice, which, in its turn, often leads, to Crime, whereby pro- perty and life aro perilled. Every consideration, then, should induce us to be "up and stirring," in the present crisis. Recollect that, on the average, every laboring map in this oity Is estimated to have four other persons dependent, wholly depend ent, on his industry, and think what a vast amount of deprivation, of want, of misery, ih likely to be engendered by such a cessation of that labor as has taken place and is threatened. At this crisis, oven the employers who are themselves compelled to contract their opera- tions, to givo work to two men where they used to pay wages to six, if they cannot do much good, can largely aid in preventing evil. Lot them, instead of giving full work to the two whom they retain, give two days' work per week to each of the six, and this, small as it is, will keep the wolf from the door. Even a day's work, just now, will be a real boon and blessing to hundreds, wt. may say to thousands. The gratuitous distribution of bread and the establishment of soup-kitchens have been recommended, with the kindest intentions, by many well l mc, , auing persons. We wodid by no means veto nor object to such relief as this —for the very poor, the actual paupers, require and will be benefited by such relief. But we would avoid dragging down to this pauperism the hale, honest, hard-working people who desire nothing bettor than employment, and who would shrink from such relief as takes the orm and name of charity. Let them be work ers, not beggars. At this time, lot no one add insult to the ills he cannot removo or greatly alleviate, by say ing that the laboring classes, when in full work, ought to kayo made provision against a rainy day. We doubt whether the bulk of our fellow-citizens make greater provision for the future, according to their comparative moans, than the working classes of this city have done. Count over the number of workmen who have bdught (and up to this time were actually pay ing for) the houses which they inhabit, and judge whether our artisans are generally im provident. No. They have been smitten down' by no misconduct Of their own. Nor, with 9 the ' wages they have received, and the unjustifiably high prices of food, could they, for some time past, have done more than maintain their families. But all abstract con. slderatio'ns are out of place here. The press ing question of the hour Is: What shall be done for eur laborers, and how shall we do it / TAEINO CARE OF ONE'S SELF [)from llarpses Weekly.' When, in 1847, a penis overtook the trading community of the city of London, England. a com mittee of bankers, headed by the present Lord Overdone, then plain Mr. Lloyd, waited upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and requested him to authorize the Bank of England tolssue a few millions more bank-notes; such notes, as is known, being regarded by the British public as the absolute equivalent of specie. They urged that such ,an issue would at once have the effeet of al laying the panic, and. that without if most of the mercantile firma must fail. The Chancellor, a man of no experience, re plied : " No. gentlemen ; the 'merchants and pri vate bankers must take care of themselves.. " Very well, my Lord," replied Mr. Lloyd ;. owe shall take care of ourselves. Be so good as to examine that memorandum. You will there perceive that our balances in the Bank of England exceed the balance to the credit of the banking department by several hundred thousand pounds. We shall draw them out bright and early to-mor row morning, and before night the bank will fail. My Lord, I have the honor to wieb you a very good morning Lord Johnßussell happened to be in the room, and he begged the deputation to wait • a few mo ments,' while ho withdrew to consult with the Chancellor.

No, people are on misrepresented as thOiehineso. It seams to bo the business of some minis syste matically to defame and Mackou them. Before coining to China I had myself Opted my opinions from the representations genefolly fur rent. My observation and intereonrsOrith; the Chinese, and with gentlemen long residing among them, satisfied me that they uro n people greatly sinned against. Every effort is made .to 'excite hatred against them, by representing them as cruel and blood-thirsty ;' whOn in truth they area gaicl, industrious, plodding, long•forbearing rants, natu rally averse to excitement; rather to Sub mit to much wrong than have recourse to itidence; and I most unhesitatingly anti fearlessly aim% notwithstanding the cry of Chinese wrong, outrage, and oppression, that there is no eeentrxen thefaee of the globe whore foreigners have greater ptivi logos.

Snob inhnumnity as I have witnessed in' Chinn I have nefir seen elsewhere. On ono occasion, when stamiltig in the street at Shanghai, conversing with. Dr. W., of :the United States navy, nod the Roy. Mr. N:, of 'the American Episcopal mission,' several ras_Peatsblo Chinamen, on passing, stopped to look at Mr. N.'s little boy, who was neatly dressed In the'dmertpan style, and was as mnoh an object of eettoalty to them as a little long-tailed celestial v 4104418 in the United Slates. While quietly, los*lmp without the least show of impropriety, h• man mane up and began to beet there, indis criminately with a club, and there the*" Way) I felt sorry they did not rally...and pitch oh sailing into the river, whieti woulk : lalMislifolordontvlosisslY so the degradation, knowing, perhaps, that to have resisted the blew!' ,would t have ,ralsod , the art of British subjeits maltreated, Britil troaty no tated, anti British honor insulted. Bneh enerinl- tins could only be atonal for by the severe puniph meet of the offenders, and by an abject apology from the high commissioner himself. At Bong-Xong, I have seen poor coolies who, after standing about the whole day looking for something to do, and, perhaps, almost famished with hunger, driven by blows from a curbstone, where they had seated themselves to rest, and were in nobody's way. When at Canton, I was present whore a gentle man was telling of his rides in the country; I re marked attar thought he would difficult' to gotthrough the streets, so narrow, and crowded were they? Ito replied, oh, I always take a good heavy whip with me, and when necessary, lay about me right and left: the Chinamen don't like the lash, and soon get out' of the way. I would like to ask how long a man would4to allowed to sit his horse In New York or Baton who would ho guilty of such outrages ? I have referred to the foregoing, not as Isolated oases, but as fairly illustrating-the general sentl 7 meet and treatment of the Chinese' by the foreign residents, and especially the English. There is it limit beyond which even the most timid will (mese forbearance, and if people coming to China will oast aside all some of propriety and the restraints of home and wildly and recklessly abuse the people, insult wives, daughters, and sisters, they must expect to ho rudely treated, and merit all the punishment they receive. , A gentleman long a resident in China, and whose position, character, and intelligence is a guarantee for the truthfulness of hie statements, assured me thstduriug the whole of his long residence. there has not boon a single ease of outrage between the natives and foreigners in whioh the letter have not boon immediately the aggressors. So customary is it with some peraMas to misrep resent the Chinese, that it is almost impossible to tell the truth with regard to them. A eorrespondent of the New York Times, who has contributed a long amount of the bombardment of Canton over the signature of ft. and wideb has been extensively copied in the United States, is a striking example of tide Willem° of locality and association. Ile 'mg that the. bombardment was in consequettoo of an outrage committed by the Chinese upon a 13 titbit' lorcha ; the Chinese, Isar- ing boarded her, bunted down the Mit:tell flag, end carried o 1 twolvo of the orow, three of Inhom were beheaded• It would be impossible to compress into the name space a greater amount of unintentional misstatement. There was no outrage committed upon the British flag; no flag was hoisted, the loroha having just the same right to be called British that a man born in a stable would have to he called a horse—she was Chinese built, Chinese owned, and Chinese manned, and none of her crew were beheaded. Upon the demand of the English consul, they wore all reterned to the coo ' sulate, notwithstanding one or more of them were recognised &slobbers and pirates. The high commissioner, Yeh, desirous to avoid all cause of offence; complied with every demand upon him exoept thine involving his dishonor and de gradation in the eight aids people ; and I bell‘e there are few high-toned English gentlemen who will not honor Yoh for his refusal to weds to the humiliating conditions imposed, and presented in language entirely to flippant and arrogant from a young man accidentally representing the British authority at Canton. The whole of this tortilla affair is disgraceful, ex hibiting an amount of official jugglery one would hardly expeot to see practised by the representa tives of Great Britain. The correspondence of Sir John Bowring and Consul Parkes is proof positive that they well knew that the loreha was not British, had no British character, and no claim to British protection, said yet they persisted in their iniquitous demands. Strong efforts are pot forth to eoreen the British Admiral from complicity in the affair, but it can not be done. Sir Michael Seymour must inset his full responsibility; lie has been a prominent actor, and his role is more creditable to hie intelligence than his candor and humanity. lire bed the saga. etty to perceive the falsity of the positions assumed by his colleagues', and had it then in his power to right the wrong, and prevent the terrible sheddi4 of blood. That he did pot do so is the strongest possible evidence that war upon China was resolved upon, and the dingiest pretext was made avails. ble. Every effort has been made to excite American interest and Amerieitn sympathy in favor of this war; and vdth some who believe in English perfect ibility, anti others who expect to reap pecuniary gain, the effort 11115 not been fruitless. Lots of let tors have been written nod sent home, and scat tered broadeast over the land, for the purpose of manufacturing a sentiment, and filled with such horrible Dilrisanse about the Chinese; as almost equate the famous story of railroads and revolvers iu Georgia. Even the astute editor of the New York Herald has, been imposed.upon by some of these writers of Eastern romance, and I ant sure he will be pleased to hear that the American resi• dents for whom he expressed so much sympathy are under no appreleinsion of danger from the Oblates). So far front this, they did not ask that the force sent rifens ear ships. of war at Whampoa should be sent to Canton. On the oontrary, , they requested that t might be withdrawn, as being unnecessary for their'proteCtion, and tending to complicate our re : halos; which proved to ho the ease. I would also inform the editor that the story of the three Americana having been beheaded; and their skulls now adorning the city walls, is fabidons--a pure "Arrowsmith"—as is also the monstrous report that. the graves of our men killed at the Barrier forts lied boon violated, and their mangled bodies east forth to he food for birds and beasts. Net a word of truth. The poor fellows in their little islet rest as quietly and securely as though they slumbered beneath a Marble tablet in Greenwood .or Mount Auburn. The nrifortunate death of our country man, Mr. Cunningham, at Foo-Chow, though occur ring more than a year ago, is paraded pOil0(1100)1y as a "good enough Morgan" to feed the morbid apPotite for slanders against the Chinese. Mr. C. was an estimable young gentleman, and his untimely fate Was universally deplored ; but no"one could charge bisdeath to Chinese unfriendliness—it was the result of his own impetuous imprudence in interfering in a quarrel between two parties of Chinese coo lies. The highly respected representative of the Uni ted States at Roo-Chow, is fully satisfied with the action of the authoritiel in bringing the offenders to justice. When the eaten t of our commerce with Chips is ‘3usitiercd, and' the numbor of our citizens who an nually arrive and depart, with the oharactoristies Mid dissimilarities of the two races thus brought' in Contact, tho lowness of the difficulties occurring is almost insredible. twill venture the assertion that in the neighbor ing island of Cuba, with its one million of inhabi tants, there are more outrages committed upon American citizens in ono year than there have been in China, with its three hundred and atxty millions of inhabitants, in the past quarter of a century. If You oak any of the foreign merchants in China, they will tell you that in no part of the world do foreigners transact their business with equal satis faction and comfort, and in no part of the world is there a higher standard of. mercantile honor and integrity than among the Chinese merchants. All commercial trausaetiona aro upon honor, no written obligations aro given, and all contracts are roll gioualy observed—a violation of faith is of rare oc currence ; and if to thin is added their readiness and ability to supply every demand, ordinary and extraordinary, for the products of their labor end industry, it may well be attired what motive can the English tiovernment have for seeking to enlist the nations of, the West In a crusade against this people. In their present onslaught upon the Chinoso, England is pursuing hor traditional polloy, and though proclaiming horsolf the representative of the civilisation and religion of the West, and her mission one of posoo cud good will, she is just us surely aiming nt territorial extension and ammo' , oial aggrandizement, having long £4l/130 eschewed e v er y obligation conflicting with flight when prompted by interest or exorcised with gaiety. With nations who have not subscribed to this odious doctrine, this war presents for consideration a question broader and deeper, a question involving the sights of power, and bow tar they can override the claims of humanity, the obligations of morality and of conscience. In theory the policy of Great Britain is most liberal and disinterested, in practice the most grasping and selfish. Whether impelled by a " manifest destiny," or controlled by a policy almost prescient, for more than a cen tury England has boon steadily and securely ad- Taneing her material interest, until she is now In a position to almost dispute with the root of mankind the commercial supremacy of .the world. The earth is bolted with her posseseloni. On the great highway, to the wealth and commerce of the East, there is net 'a harbor of refuge or a point of strategy she does not possess. At the islands of St. Vincent, Fernando Po, and Ascension, she has'de pots for coal and other naval supplies. From the Dutch she captured Ceylon and. the Gape of Good lope. Mauritius, with its beautiful harbor, stand ipg like a traveller's rest in the midst of the In dian Ocean, she wrested from the Frontal. From , the itirnalayas to Capo Comore, from the Gulf' of t4its to the Gulf of Siam, her flag Boats over an e ro, greater than the Mogul's. She has stripped Italfingot Buritush of evert inch of his territory 'Valuable for trade or available for war: she da y s *out isles, white tone of her subjects exercises Bove- reignty in Borneo. Of the splendid possessions once held In the East by various European powers, scarcely a shadow I remains. The Dutch retain Java; the French, notwithstanding their gallantry, their leas of trea sure and blood, have been driven out, and have scarcely a restiog-placo; while the Portuguese are permitted to retain it few insignificant positions as tenants-at-will. All these vast possessions, with their teeming population, have boon acquired by fraud and deceit, by violence and blood ; and by a nation that would fain be considered as the great morel reformer of the age, the example of national integrity and honor. For years England bag had her grasp on the throat of China; and now that she Imagines her alliance with Franco to be durable, the present is regarded as a favorablo opportunity to execute long•oherished designs upon tho " flowery land ;" and, to musk bar true in tante, she claims to represent and act for the peoples of the West. Sho assumes only to redress wrong, and secure the oboorvanco of treaty stipulations—her object is to perpetuate the foulest wrong ever Imposed by power upon weakness; and as to treaty stipulations, the English have not even made a show of adherence. Every privilege obtained, every right acquired by the treaty of Nan kin is systematically used as a means of outrage upon' the Chinese—this colony of Hong Kong is the very centre from whence the forty million dollars' worth of opium (the profits of the East India Com pany) is smuggled into China; and it is there that the various piratical expeditions, generated and, educated in this school of contrabandista, and, in some instances, dignified with the title of rebels, obtain their arms, ammunition, and other supplies. The primary object of this war is to replenish the coffers of Leadenhall street, by forcing upon the Chinese the poison gathered by the sweat and toil of the bondsmen of India. The financial condition of India has become a moot serious question with the Court of Directors and the British government. The immense military establishment of three hun dred and any thousand men, the multitude of civil Aeon of the Crown and Company, with the rapid acquisition of fortunes, have long since ex hausted the accumulated treasure of ages; and the ordinary products of the soil, even when wrung from the ryots by tortures the most frightful, fail to meet the annual demand. These delleionoies have been periodically supplied by the conquest and serum of the revenue of some of the neigh boring States; the last being the kingdom of pude. This source of supply is about exhausted, and one more permanent is sought for. • The cultivation of opium, being a tiovernmont monopoly, yields a larger net revenue than any other product of the soil, and China, with its threo hundred and sixty millions of inhabitants, unwar like and inoapable of resistance, is to have this drug forced upon them at the cannon's mouth. The ulterior object of England Is a pretoat to oc cupy, as rho has done in India and Ilurmab, the ports and coast of China, and there be able, at her pleasure, to control the trado of this Old Empire, now become a necessity to the civilised world. I trust that our Government and our pooplo wit not be deceived by the attempt made to repreaen this war es between civilisation and barbarism, between Christianity and paganism. It is a war of wrong and crime, and the ultimate object is as rarely intended to affect as, as the present is to crush the Chinese. M a palliative for wrong and violence, it is said that groat crimes often result in groat good ; a greater authority has said it needs bo that of come, but woe unto him by whom the offence cometh. It may be that the days of the Old Em pire are numbered. Venerable with years, she has witnessed the rise and fall of the prophetic empires, and is the last link connecting the pre sent with the ancient day. With her ealy civili sation and government based upon the happiness of the people, while other nations have wasted themselves In strife and war, she has grown hoary in the pursuits of industry and peace. But the hand of the spoiler's upon her, and her timid and unwarlike population can offer no Roomful resis tance to their prayerful invader. But lot us have no part or lot In the mutter ; let not our pride be excited by visions of conquest, or our cupidity tempted by the prospect of gain ; lot us bo honor able and just, not oppressors of the weak and spoilers of the feeble. The Chinese aro not our enemies; they are our friends, and desirous to cul tivate with us relations of amity and good will. Every blow we strike in China is a blow against Ourselves, and in favor of England's pretensions. lam as desire's as any man to see extended the blessinga of enlightened Christian Civilisation; but lam free to declare, that with my knowledge of the mild and peaceful influence of Anglioan Chris tianity, as propagated in India by the Company, and in China by those meek disciples, Sir Sohn Dowsing and Admiral Seymour, I would illa• nitely prefer that China should remain intact, than become a colonial dependency, and pass under the dominion of Groat Britain Very truly, The New Bedford Mercury learns that oat of twenty-eight whaling ships now in port, eigh teen of them will be hauled up in dock during the winter, and their refitting delayed until the ensu ing spring. This course has been reluctantly ad - opted by their owners in consequence of the financial pressure and the present high rates of obtaining nearly every article of outfits.

Ile malls this statement all over the country during the canvass, and at the Demo cratic jollification meeting last evening, said that four-fifths of the people weie in favor of a Imo State; that that question was settled; and that now the only question was Democracy and Repub.. lioanhtn. In support of whet he said, ho alluded to the feet that the old pro-slavery party had nominated Governor Ransom, a free-State man, for Congress, and that nearip half of the ticket, which had just been elected in this county, were free-State men. lie stated that Ike had just been elected with his ticket, not as s free-State man e not 11J3 a pro-814+0g man, but as a Democrat, as a supporter of the Ad ministration of James fluchanan and Robert J. Walker. Mr. Denman, a froe•Stato Domoorat from Ohio, olooted to tho Homo, statod, in substance, tho some thing. So did Major Parkins, Mr. DAVIS, and others. Kansas will bo a free State beyond all doubt, and bat, too, under a Demooratio Administration. The party of this county aro indebted for their moues to the untiring efforts of John A.

You, who are ozparienced in the ways of party leaders, will not be over-astonished to leers that our campaign orators do little :to wards dispelling the fog. We have daily annouoe. meats of speeches which are to "set the matter straight before the people," and "define our can didate's position once for all on this or that ques tion," but after each elucidation affairs become mitre cud more . involved. ThO groat triumphs of oircrim locution are effected by the rival candidates them selves, who are constantly talking at each other and round about the subjects towards which the public, mind is attracted, but never upon them for a single moment. Perhaps it is a recent improvement in the system of political management to scrupulous ly avoid intelligibility, to drive right and left with ponderous rhetorical hammers, without over hitting anything. If It be so, you can have no idea what proficiency our leading orators have At- tainad. On the whole,l think Mr. Banks may taitly take his place at the bead of the clam in success ful circumlocution. Misyaculties :for waking the this sympathies of an audience on no subj.tot whatever, and rousing them to a deep and burning sense of nothing at all, are of an overpowering brilliancy, you will allow me to designate that 'as brilliant which sheds no light, perhaps a "tinsel like glitter" would be more to the point. You will hardly credit it when I assure you that Mr. Banks has talked almost Incessantly for the list month or so without ever saying anything. Yet such is the fact. You might bathe in a sea of dic tionaries, and derive as much mental refreshment as from the oceans of oratory which the "little iron" candidate for Governor has poured foith since the commencement of the campaign, If be over attains the gubernatorial chair; he will dance there through a "masa of metaphorical confusionL" Mr. Gardner, the present happy possessor of the veto power in Massachusetts--for you must knew that his reputation is mainly based upon his some what violent, although principally judicious, exer cise of this official privilege—la a smart gentlemen —a very Smart gentleman—but altogether behind Mr. Banks in his eireumundulatory abilities. Yon may consider this praise or dispraise, just as you choose ; perhaps I ought to hint to you that I mean it for praise, so as to make things comfortable ha tween us. Consequently, Mr. Gardner, who sees hie Inability to cope with the ex• Speaker in this respect, tries the honest dodge, and really does it very welt under the circumstances. It is quite refreshing to observe how completely the Governor is possessed with the idea that he is a model of of ficial uprightness and political probity. Whether he will succeed In Inducing the sante belief every where, remains to be seen. The great point on which the oleotion is supposed to turn--outside of party Influence—is, as you know, " retrenchment and reform." Consequent ly, both Mr. Banks and Mr. Gardner represent themselves as paragons of prudence, and eminent ex emplars of economy. Bach assures the people that he himself is the man destiny has summoned to re pair the leak in the State finances, and to inaugurate the wished-for system of reform. Here Governer Gardner seems to hold the most logical position; for, being thoroughly posted on the causes of the recent heavy State expenditures, he must, of course, know where to apply the necessary Testae- Cons. Mr. Banks's situation is weaker is this ra sped, for he steadily refuses to make known his intentions regarding certain rneaseresof extrava gance, such as the Hoosao Tunnel scheme and oth ers, which it is expected will be brought forward dur ing the coming session of the Legislature. Nev ertheless, as matters stand at present, there seems to be little doubt of Mr. Banks's election. No one supposes he will go in by a large majority, but even his opponents admit the powerful probability of his receiving a vote sufficiently large for his pup. pose. There is really no excitement or deep into rest in regard to the result. Conservative men are satisfied that the contest lies between the Ameri can, ox-Republican, and the Republican ex-Ame rican candidates, (Gardner and Banks) and know ing how little there is to dooms, personally or poli tically, between the two, take little note of the struggle Mr. Gardner, however, being committed to certain measures in opposition to violent Repub licanism, has secured the services of some able gentlemen, such ca Mr. George S. Hillard, of the Courier, of known conservative tendencies. The Democrats will quietly veto for their candidate, Mr. Beach, who will probably receive a larger number of votes than is at present anticipated by either of the other parties. HORATIO. Pentisylvanta The fournaf of Cominorco thus awake of the tremendous defeat of the Republican party in Pormaylvania, at the late election: "The result of the election may be called a thorough anti emphatic, endorsement of Mr. Bu chanan's Administration, his New Haven letter, and the Bred 800tt deoision, and a decided affirma tion that the pimple of Pennsylvania do not repent the way they toted last fall. The large Demo oratjo gain seems farther to show that, but for the lavish eMployniont of the Kansas fund in the Pre sidential oleution, the vote for Mr. Fremont would probably have boon nearer what it now lister Wil mot, and Mr. Buchanan's majority would have been much larger.

When the report first reached us that the great mind of the gifted flakell had fallen, we refrained from making it nubile, In the hope that it might not be confirmed; but, sad and startling ae was Abe Intelligence, it was too painfully true, and it is useless longer to conceal the fact. The career of tills gifted' but unfortunate eon of genial)/ a peculiar one, and should be univer sally known for the impressive lessons which it teaches. From his earliest boyhood be has shown himself possessed of Abe highest order of talents. While at college in this eity, he distinguished himself as a poet and an orator. His graduating speech is spoken of to this day by those who heard it, as worthy of the immortal Prentiss in his palmiest days, and probably not surpassed by an y . subsequent effort of . his own. He has served hui country on the battle-field and in the halls of Con gress, It was hie residedee at Waishi_ngton that confirmed upon bins these nufertallate Wile from whleit'he never recovered, and whieh,have paelly blasted hie exalted intellect. True, he it one time broke the fiery serpent from hie hands, and dashed It to the earth. To make his own reforms. tion complete, and aid in lifting up others who had fallen, like himself, he went through the State lecturing cm temperance. The tour was an eminently successful and bril liant one, his lectures being telly equal to those of Gough, whose unearthly eloquence has electrified thousands in this country, and in England. But his old habits gained the mastery of him again, and his subsequent life has been but afearful steng gle between leis appetites and his ambition—a struggle in which, it must he confessed, his appe tites have generally triumphed. So great, indeed. was his craving for artificial slininlants, that even while delivering his temperance lectures, he made use of drugs, sufficient in quantity and potency to burn out the vitals of an ordinary man. Right here is found the true cause of his falt— the ruck on which his intellect has gene to wreck— love of excitement, amounting to an irresistible passion, coupled with a constant tendency to melancholy and depression, thus inducing a need of artificial stimulents to buoy np his drooping spirits, and lift him into that world of thoughtless and giddy recklessness in which alone be seemed able to live. So great was his proneness to despondency and so insatiable his thirst for exeite ment, that ho wail scarcely ever known to be quiet for any length of time. lie preferred rather to be tossed about in the whirlpools of contention and strife' than to sail on the calm sea of dm:nest/a peace and tranquillity. When not engaged in public speaking, be was constantly found in the convivial circle, which he never felled to enliven and delight by his presence. Wherever he went he was surrounded by crowds of admiring friends, who were never so well !en tertained as when listening to his lively, eloqient and learped conversation. His conversational powers were indeed wonderful. The re:sonnet of his mind were inexhaustible, and his tongue never faltered fur a word Tbere was no subject, whether ancient or modern, grave or gay, upon which he did not converse with fluently and elo quence. He passed, with the most careless ease, from the profoundest disquisition upon the doc trines of the Bible, the religion of Confueltutt, or the Baconian philosophy, to the lightest literature of the day. Ilia conversation, as well as his Out,- lie speeches, abounded in the soundest philosophy mixed with the liveliest wit, the bitterest sere/Ism with the most laughter-proroking humor, and, truth compels us to add, the most exalted religious sentiments, with the most blasphemous irreyer case and the darkest infidelity. Altogether he was one of the most remake , men of this age. Ills character is an unwritt and unsolved enigma. He is, indeed, a man w I out a character, and almost without a fixed :g.j_.„ . _ .. ... nal identity Now he is the impulsive child of sm ear°, with a heart warm in its responses to:the slightest touch of kindly feeling, and the ire hour the morose and gloomy misanthrope—Ate dark and revengeful man-hater. One moment' his tongue Is inciting in tenderness and affection 'for his friends and for all humanity, and the next, in stant it seems to burn and blister with thb darkest curses and the most terrible threatenings agahist ail mankind. To-day he appears as the religras bigot and the philanthropic enthusiast, and to-nior row we behold him as the reviler of religion And the hater of his race. His good qualities, h w over, predominate over the bad. Unlike i4ost men, his virtues seem inherent, while his vices re the result of the Ottlllo3 37rwza la: temPtathins that beset his pathway. To his er dit it may be said, that in spite of all the errors ug: 67441eimatiTherbliWrtis intellect he ill retains traces of tho inborn nebleneas of his us re, and the transcendant grandeur of his genius. b.

Without undertaking to say whether be has been right or wrong in lid, i political principles; we cannot fail to admire he faithfulness with which he has adhered to, and be eloquence and ardor with which he has defers ed them. lie has always belonged to the strictly een servative school of politicians. His speeches, and especially those of his palmy days, have aiwilys Leen replete with the soundest political phikeoplts. Though beautified with the graces of oratory ; and enlivened by the most inimitable wit and linmin, yet they have all been founded upon the gra:nd substratum of sound logic and profound reasons g. Ills career as a political speaker forms one of Ow brightest pages in the history of Tennessee omtety. During the last Presidential contest he thrilled and electrified all whoheard him. His tour through 1 the State in the summer of '56 was brilliant almhst to a fabulous degree. It was a continued ovation from its beginning to Its close. Whenever he Wes expected to speak . , myriads flocked to hear hat, and thought it a privilege to stand in the' burnihg sun or drenching rain for fear long hours, listenibe to his enrapturing eloquence. All along his rodte he was greeted with the most enthusiastic plandlts of the people., Our readers will remember well bow brillian t I was his reception in this city. A long procession of military and citizens escorted him through t e streets, and thousands flocked around his curia a, eager to shake him by the hand er catch a glim e of his noble face and corm. It was a spontaneous outpouring of homage to exalted gehins, and., a snore hearty tribute of admiration and love was never accorded to any man. His speech on Wilt day will be forever embalmed in the memory of those who heard it. But this lofty genius is overthrown. The miad that dived into those profound depths of phijo sophia reasoning, and that soared to those sublime heights of poetic eloquence and beauty, is shroud ed in the gloom and darkness of a hopeless insaiii ty. The tongue that drew tears like water fro'n strong men's oyes, and wrought up to phrensy whole multitudes at once; that held enraptured thousands in breathless suspense upon its lightest tone, and brought act entire State bowing in homage at the shrine of its eloquence, is nue hushed in silence, or can utter nought but the eh- Dimming and incoherent sounds of the disordered and unreasoning lunatic. What a fearful commentary is this strange his tory upon the danger of heeding the seductive voice of the tempter ! How impressive a lesson Vo aspiring genius ! This noble vessel, that has gods down in full sail amid the waves, may hereafter serve to warn others away from the whirlpools I n which it is wreoked. flow to Dispense with Paper Money—Let Co* grass Impose a tar on small Bank-Notes, (From the Cincinnati Enquirer I Heretofore It has been attempted, by the instru mentality of action in the several States, to effect a currenoy reform. This has been impossible; for, although some Stites might prohibit the circula tion of bank-notes, others would continue it, and still continue to deluge the prohibition States with their emissions. The trhe plan is—and we invite the attention of theriends of a constitutional eurreney to et for Congress to pass a law imposing a direct tax upon the eiren/ation of hank-notes as ear rtne y. The power of Congress to do this is un questionable. The Constitution expressly gives Congress authority to levy direct taxes. In the ease of banks it has already been exercised. In 18/3 it passed a law taxing banks in all their de partments of eireulation—deposit and exchange The tax was about a cent on every dollar bill issued. This tat was continued until 1817. It was then taken off, while an indirect tax was con tinued on sugar, salt, and other necessaries of life. To comment upon this odious distinction is en tirely unnecessary. Banks have special privileges granted to them, and ought to pay more taxes than these who have not these special privileges. We call for the reimposition of the tax, by, Congress, on bank-paper issues. Let it be from the first so high as to prohibit all notes from circulation of a less de nomination than twenty dollars. Gradually It could be increased upon the large bills, until ttio true constitutional currency of gold and Barer was restored. It was never intended by the tritium of the Constitution that there should be any other money than gold and silver. They weds, hard-mone4 , men. They bad seen the reds of the paper lames of the old Continental Congress in the days of the Revolution, The depre ciation in value of those notes was so great that it beggared thousands, and brought financial ruin and distress upon the country. They inserted a provision in our present Constitution making nothing but coin legal tender for debts, and they forbid States from issuing bills of credit. This they supposed would accomplish the purpose. But the States have evaded it, and have delegated to indi viduals the power to issue what they had no right to do themselves. The violation of the Constitu tion, in the issue of notes, has so long been prim. tisod and has become so interwoven with tho busi ness of the country, that the courts, in view of the immense consequences, have shunned a decision on the point, and allowed the oinculatin to con tinue. Lot Congress new perform what the courts have omitted to do. The next Congress will be Demo cratic. We hope to see it, before it adjourns, i tn . pose the tax upon banks, and take off the tax froM salt. The tax on bank-bills should be graduated ; the smaller the denomination the heavier should the lox be. None but large bills would then ho issued by the banks, and large bills are more in the eharac ter of hills of exchange than a currency By driving all bills under twenty or fifty dollars from circulation, the channels of trade and the common money transactions of every-day life will be filled with nothing but gold and silver. The Congress which restores to the people a sound metallic currency, and drives from general circulation all bank promises-to-pay, will render a greater service than any which has met since the Constitution was formed, and will gain an im mortal fame for itself in ..the archives of the future. The country is ripe for it. No measure could be more popular or meet with a more heart approval from. the Democratic masses. The baU for the constitutional currency ought to bo imme diately set in motion.
