If these sketches of Dolmas JERROLD, writ
ten on personal knowledge and recollection of
the man, present his character and conduct in
a point of, view rather different from that in
which they have been contemplated by per
sons who knew his writings but did not know
himself, the fault is not ours, if fault it be.
Byrum speaks of man as being w half dust, half
dirty :" there was as great a preponderance
of the former material element in Donoiks
Jaanorm as there is of sand in Now Jersey.
JERROLD suffered, for many years, under
the painful reality of very narrow eircrimstan
ces. 'His best writings were badly paid for,
and his temper, naturally irritable, became
concentrated, as it were, into a general hate
against all who were well off, while he was
' poor. It was enough to sour all the milk of
human kindness to know that for such a suc
cessful play as w Black Eyed Susan," by

riotii fled to fait, in dartion's lifetime, that
single play must have realized £150,000 to

had no more than the wretched £7O. He had
written that play before he was twenty-one
years old, and, with ordinary good fortune, it
should have conducted kim to competency.
It did not. Even for w The Bent Day," a.
anti& better play, he was indifferently paid.
As a dramatist, he ranks very high. He
bad very little humor, but his command of
the English language was complete, and his
wit was always keen. Therefore his dialogue
Was admirable, though, when he bad to use
sentiment, be was'artificial and even maudlin.
His acquaintance .with the acting drama was
so great from having literally been brought up
behind the scenes, that he was master of the
most striking " situations" in popular plays;
and this knowledge, while it saved him from
constructing a .plot which would remind the
audience of what they bad seen or heard be
faro, enabled him to alter situations, and so
adapt old characters to new circumstances
in a dratnatie narrative, that even what
'he borrowed or stole - from other, would,
pass off as original. Besides the plays al
ready named, as among Jaits.on's successful
performances, may be
,ntentioned
'Givynne," "The Housekeeper," "Time
Works Wonders," " The. Bubbles of the
Day," and w The Prisoner at War." His
comparative failures wore very numerous--
some of them were such tremendous mistakes
that the wonder was how, even if the author
did not - see. their utter want of merit, any
manager could have been so foolish as to ire
to the expense and, run the risk of producing
them. Ono of Jzanorm's latest plays was

in common justice, to either. Journal, who
loved a good hater, ought to have been
charmed with Janson), who was easily
offended, and never forgave—like the Reverend
Dr. 8„,,,W. GRISWOLD.
Leaving "The Caudle Lectures" out of the
question, they being his best things, it is as a
dramatist that Devotes JERROLD runs a chance
of being known half a century hence. He•had
the art—be it knack, skill, or genius —of pro
ducing good stage effects, and he wrote the
English language almost as simply, idiomati
cally, expressively, and forcibly, 83 Oosexxx
himself ever did. It must be remembered, to
his credit, that his dramas were his own, at all
events. Not knowing the language, ho de
rived nothing "from the French," as nearly
all his immediate contemporaries, KNOWLES
excepted, here In the habit of doing.
It was very natural that JERRORD should
take to the stage, In some way or another, for
his earliest associations were theatrical. Ills
father managed a very small theatre at Sheer
ness, In Kent; and his mother, who acted as
treasurer and check-taker, used to sit at the
door and receive the entrance money. Upon
one occasion, the late Duke of Yoag, uncle of
Queen VICTORIA, had been solicited to pa
tronize a benefit, and promised to attend:" Ap
pearing at the paying place, and finding that
he had forgotten his ticket, be Informed Mrs.
JERROLD that, in changing his dress for din
ner, be had left the ticket in the pocket of the
coat he bad taken off'. Mrs. JunnoLD, calling
out to the door-opener within, in a loud voice )
audible all over the theatre, said, " Jells, 'ere
is 'is Royal Ightless, the Duke of Yong, who
'as loft 'is ticket in 'is other coat pocket:
Rade:tit 'ls Royal 'lghness I"
Notwithstanding his numerous and flagrant
personal disqualifications, JERROLD believed
that his proper place was on the stage. Un
fortunately, no manager would give him an
engagement, ono and all treating it as a piece
of pleasantry. So, in conjunction with his
brother-in-law, the late W. J. HAstuottn, ho
became joint lessee and manager of the Strand
Theatre, where ho made a terrible failure in
"The Painter of Ghent," a play which he
wrote expressly for himself. He was so much
laughed at that be did not repeat the attempt.
Yet, when the Itteraryamateurs performed; in
1861-2, in London and the provinces, Jim-
ROLM was one of the conapahy, and got tol
erably well through his parts. Ho soon tired
of it, however, and his place in the company
was well tilled by that very able young author,
Wioun Cows& The two writers were of
muct the same stature, but the difference in
their floras and features was marked—JER
ROLD being as ill-looking as Counts is the re
, Mae.
Few modern writers have written more con
stantly or powerfully In advocacy of the Peo
ple. But JsanoLe only wrote; be never did
any thing. Tie used to say that for tho first
twenty-five years of his life, ho was perpetu
ally struggling with poverty', and that, there
fore, he felt for the Poor. Almost at a bound,
so sudden was the accession of literary repu
tation and gain, he rose from 4800 to £B,OOO
a year. Out of the smaller Income, ho could
not indulge In charity, out of the larger ho
did not. Yet he used to ridicule Lord Asn
' LEY, (now Earl of BRAFTESDURY, but likely to
be bettor known, from Disaant's taunt as
"Lord Phylactery,") for constantly presidifig
and speaking at charitable meetings, and never
giving oven the widow's mite. The pebr, at
least, gave his time and influence, while the
satirist, with wondrous professions of philan
thropy, gave nothing but articles, for which
ho was duly paid by publishers.
When ho died, his annual income, earned
with a very small amount of mental labor, ex
ceeded £2,000 a year. Yet, his family were
left In distressed circumstances, and it soon
transpired that ho had over-drawn on the pro
prietors of » Punch" to the amount of £7OO.

A GREAT INDF,PRNDENCE DAY IN
BOSTON.
[Special Correspondence or The Press.]
Reveille'Meer; BOSTON, July 6, 1856.
The national anniversary, my dear Colonel, has
been celebrated in this city this year with more
than usual spirit and brilliancy. ' To a stranger,
like myself, who had never been in Boston before;
on a similar ooaasion, it seemed that everything
was done, which could be done, to manifest pablio
joy and congratulation. The pity authorities bad
their accustomed 'routine of cervices—an oration
and a dinner in Fanenit- Hall—together with va
rious attraotlemson the Common, both musical and
Pyrotechnic. The 'oration of Mr. Holmes, before
the oily Government, le spoken of as sensible,
well-considered, able, and patriotlo The feature
of the celebration, however, which, by reason of
its novelty, attracted perhaps most attention, was
that undertaken and carried out under the auspi
ces of the Young Men's Democratic Club of Bos
ton. It.was announced to be tuitional in tone arid
spirit, and I am sure that in no respect watt there
any departure from the original design.
Rufus Choate was orator of the day, a fart
Geer enough to stamp the character of the whole
day's bueinors. Tremont Temple, one of the larg
est public rooms in the United States; wee crowded
to overflowing by one of the most intelligent audi
ences of both sexes ever assembled, I am told, in
the' modern Athens." -Hie extent to the speak
er's stand wits the signal of repeated and most yo
ailerons applause. I have riot seen Mr. Choate
for a long time, and was pained to observe how
much his incessant professional labors have
im
paired his physical frame. He looked worn and
wan. His physical strength was altogether in
adequate to the delivery of his great oration
to so large on auditory. But his bodily .in
firmities did but seem to make more Om.
spiouous his intellectual health and vigor, I
think the oration, when published, will be pro
counted on all bands the great effort of bra life.
We wilt see it so soon in•print that I will not von
turn upon its analysis. No portion of tho splendid
performance was received with more manifesta
tions of approbation than that which makes allu
sion to those public men of the United States who.
labor and long for European fame at the expense
of the honor and well-beleg 'of their own country.
The purpose of the suggestion was apparent to
everybody.
After the oration'was concluded a splendid ban
quet was spread at the Revere House, under the
auspices of the Demooratio Club. In the decora
tions of the dining hall, the ornamentation of the
tables, the luxuries to tempt the palate, the ban
quet surpassed everything which has preceded it
in Boston, as lam told. I beard from not a few of
the rank and file of the party complaint that the
price to tickets of admission to the festival was
fixed at so high a price as ten dollars. There was
perhaps, reason for the suggestion, in so far as ii
kept away humble men who desired to bo present,
but could not well spare so much of their earnings
for such a purpose. As it was, however, upwards
of three hundred persons assisted at the banquet.
After theoretical " removal of the cloth," the first
speaker called was Edward Everett, His speech
was artistic, beautiful, eloquent. It was like
everything that distinguished gentleman does and
ei?ys. His allusion to Philadelphia, to Indepen
dence Hall—his imploration to the winds and
sterme of heaven to dont gently with the sacred
edifies wherein the candle of the Declaration of
Independence was rooked, touched all hearts.
Some persons suggested that it wasPreeidentia/
la its tone and temper. Perhaps, however, that
thee* *ere but malicious promptings of ardent De
mocrats who did not quite relish the statement of
Mr. Everett that he did not see now any political
party in existence to which he could attach him
self. Si, If Mr. Everett be really in search of a
party,' why will not the forthcoming "people's
party" suit his circumstances? and who is more
worthy than ho to be the foremost man of the or
ganimition ? Who a bettor Presidential candi
date than Mr. Everett? He is experienced in
publio affairs ; be is able ; he is learned. His
travelling to and fro in the United States to rouse
the people to recovery of the holy place of
America, Mount Vernon, affords ample opportu
nity to see and be seen. Suppose, then, that
whether intended so or not, we make Mr. Everett's
speech a Presidential speech, and himself a Presi
dential candidate?
The next speaker was Mr. B. F. Hallett, the old
war-horse of Democracy in Now England. His re
ply to the toast to " the Constitution and the
Union," was able, intstruotivo, and pertinent.
After bim came Mr. Austin, Collootor of this
port, who replied to 4hohtiment to " the Fresidont
of the United States." Mr. Austin is a men of
tine prosaism of good voice and martini. His re
marks were brief
Marie's Levi Woodbury, Esq., United States At
torney of this district, was the next gentlemat
called on, and to respond to a toast to " the Judi
&erg." His speech was evidently made without
previous deliberation, and was for that renew
taking and telling. The allusions to Mr. Everett
wore graceful and kind. Ills remarks upon tie
Cuban•tri•partite-troatylotter of that distinguisi
ed gentleman, written while in Mr. Filimere's
net, were well received. The District Attorney's
something of a wag on festive occasions, and nu a
few persons seemed to see that Mr. Everett ran
being made out to be a Young America filibuster°.
Can It be that Mr. Woodbury knows what 7lr.
Everett is about, and so has thus early begat to
make up the mord ?
After these gentlemen, eame speakers of greeter
and lesser note. Among them the Mayor of )on•
ton ; Mr. Davis, of the interior of this State ;Mr.
Howe, of Nova Bootie, who made a capital etort;
and Mr. J. D. Hoover, of the District of Coluubia,
who had just arrived In the train from New lark,
and was promptly called upon. The speech o Mr.
Hoover wee like everything be says on such man
sions, eenslble, pertinent, well expressed, an full
of sound national Democratic sentiment.
The company assembled comprised the verelite
of the Democratic) party here, besides maw emi
nent national Whigs, Hallett, Woodbury, Pl:tcher
Webster, Austin, Collector of the Port, fidney
Webster, and others, well-known loaders if the
party. were present. The national sontimmt pre
vailed, and Liberty and the Union, now rod for
ever, ono and inseparable," was the motto.
In the evening the display of Lire-works n the
Common was magnificent. The Boston poop's un
derstand how to make their demonstratlonrimpe
sing, and lost night the people, birth and low,
turned out, it scorned to me, en masse to fitness

Correspondence of The Press )
CAnmerm, Monday morning
MR. EDITOR: The First Presbyteman Church
was crowded yesterday morning by an attentive
audience, to listen to the sermon preached by Pro
fessor W. L. -Boswell, befor the graduating class.
The class is So largest that has ever graduated
from Dickinson College. The Baccalaureate Ser
mon, must it not correspond? Expectation was
high. For an hour the preacher fixed upon his
subject the attention of the largo audience. To
attempt a review of this one effort would require
more-time and space than is allotted to the whole
article. Suffiee it, then, to say that the expecta
tions of the most sanguine were realised.
Twine a year a sermon is preached before the
"Society of Religious Inquiry." The sermon was
nresched lest evening by the Rev. John Kennedy,
D. D. "Be thou strong, therefore, and show thy
self a man." were the signitionnt words that wore
the foundation of his eloquent discourse. For a
sermon to young men, with the prospect of the
world's struggles before them—many of them,
too, about to graduate, and feeling that they were
soon to grapple with the realities of life—what
enuldbe more appropriate than the last words of
the dying King to his son?—"Show thyself a man."
As a preacher, Dr. Kennedy's eloquonee is well
known. We will only Say Matto was as happy
In the application as In the choice of his subject.
MoNnAr nm—The day passed away heavily.
The beauty of the borough, celebrated though it
be, would not suffice to occupy the attention
through a long warm summer nay. The passing
to and fro of strangers, the bustle of passing ears,
and tbo occasional ringing of the bell, were all
that called off one's attention from the slow pass
ing momenta. Bat evening came, and with et Its
diversion,
The anniversaries of the two literary societies is
an interesting nart of the Commencement. 4 . The
Belles Lettres Society, of Diokinson College." held
its anniversary this evening. We had expected,
and we obtained, a feast of rare and rich oratory.
We cannot, as we did with the prize contest of
Saturday night, select the more prominent and
worthy, and give them special notice, for all were
prominent—all were worthy. Who was most
worthy, we onnfess ourselves unable to decide.
We felt carried away by the power of the tpeak
ors. AS well in oratory as elsewhere, power may
be judged by its effect. The offsets in this ease
were marked and striking. The church was
Orowded, yet an attentive hales:toe listened with
unabated interest for two h.... --
Can It be that, or no much talent as was dis
played this evening, none will raise its possessors
to eminence in the world? We oannot believe it.
Merit mast be rewarded. Remember those names,
then, for, in the pulpit, at the bar, or in the au
thor's study, their possessors will yet display, on
a larger vale, before the world, these talents that
will make thorn honored of their fell owe.
The anniversary address was delivered by 11. D.
Gough, of Bed-air. Md. His subject was "The
Modern Mind " The other addresses were as fol
lows : " Harmony of Creation," by B. O. Lippin
cott, of Vineentown, N J., " The Moslem and the
Greek," by D M, Cloud, of Baltimore, Md., "The
Philosophy of Revolution," by J J. White, of
Virrania," " The Pleasures of Mind," by T. M.
Griffith, of Philadelphia, " The Ideal Scholar,"
by W. T. L. Wecot, of Now Providence, West. In
dies, and "A Poem," by A. H. Slam of Salem,
N J. A gaissy of bright Were !
If we should speak particularly of any of the
sreakers, we would say of H. D. Gough, that the
reputation which ho !upaired a year ago in win
nng the old medal in the prize contest has been
veil sustained. IL C. Lippincott deserves notice
frr the ease and freedom of his declamation. lie
;peaks as if the f wum were his home. The marked
mention of the audience indicated his skill and
rworrer as an orator. The pedal by A. 11. blnpo
was a happy effort, and was entirely successful.
It will remembered to his boner. More anon.

Extract dated READINCI, July 5, 1858
I wilt venture a prediotien. J. Glancy Jones
will not bo a candidate for re-election. The cur
rent le too stt6iig against him. Burnt brandy and
Presidential dinners can't save him. Ile is shrewd
enough - to see how matters are going, and will be
discreet enough not to be a oandidato for renomi
nation. If he is a candidate, ho will be badly
beaten.
On Saturday last there 1171.9 a neat party pro
jected at " Manderbaoh's Spring," q pleasant spot
near Womelgdorf, in this county. Word was sant
in all directions that the member from Berke wee
to be there in all his suavity, perfectly accessible,
and not too proud to see his friends. It was sup
posed that the Democracy would rush to the spot,
that thu friends of Lecompton, Presidential din
ners, and anthraolte coal agencies would hold
sweet counsel together, and any conceivable
amount of shaping be done. Tho hour and the
man had come, but the people hadn't. Our excel
lent ex-sheriff want there, on hospitable thoughts
intent, but his good feelings had no room for ex
ercise.
The spring babbled up cool and refreshing, but
the few people there were quite as cool and their
deportment not as refreshing. In spite of the
beet intentions, the aff.tir was a failure, and the
dinner, though very good, will never be mentioned
on the floor of Congress. Our member returned in
bad spirits, (no4Manderbaoh's, for they are cele
brated,) muttertng something about republics be
ing ungrateful. •
It is reported (though for this I will not vouch)
that a solemn conforenno. Was bold about Nine P.
M. among the old mail•bags in tho poet °Mao,
(present, the postmaster, coal agency, editor of the
Adler, and the member,) which the policy of an
early baok-out from the contest was seriously tits.
cussed. The Adler:Etas boon sadly puzzled what to
do under present circumstances.
After holding the - matter under advisement
some two weeks ' It finally gave our member its ap
proval. But tho Adler never attempts to load
public opinion, and never has been distinguished
fur taking the load. It trims its wings—wise bird
that it is—to the breeze, and will not be slow to
discover how the Democracy of Berke feel at this
oriels. If it has not already dose so, it will advise
J. G. J. not to come before the Convention, for the
people have determined that no supporter of the
Kansas swindle shall any longer rnisrepresent them
in Congress.
With those ho relied upon for support daily

says:
" Wo are authorised by Mr Corbitt himself to
state that the whole article, from beginning to
end, is as false as it is improbable. A congrega
tion of 3,000 last evening woe his answer to the
assertion that 'the congregation have requested
him to close his services.' Yesterday morning ho
made the following statement
" As certain charges have been made against
my character, I take this opportunity to deny all
the charges and insinuations which have been
made; and I hereby give notice that I hold my
self responsible to most all charges that may bo
brought against my moral, or Christian, or minis
terial standing."
Mr. Corbitt's friends were all about him yester
day, and ho was never. stronger in their eon&
donee. They say that the girl herself has denied
that Mr. Corlattt has ever been too Intimate with
her, and declares that this story about hint has
been got up by some of his enemies to Injure his
usefulness in h s new station. And they promise
soon to furnish ample evidence to prove that this
has been a conspiracy to ruin him by false
charges. Whether the revival has had any such
offspring as is alleged, or not, they say that Mr.
Corbitt, the most successful revival preaaber in
this city, will bo triumphantly exonerated.

and Paine, as by a steel point on a groat rock,
sun-lighted, survived the excitements of war and
the necessities of order, penetrated and tinged all
our constitutional composition and policy, and all
one party organizations and nomenclature, and
stands to-day radiant, defiant, jocund, tip-toe, on
the summits of our greatness, one authoritative and
louder proclamation to humanity by Freedom, the
guardian and the avenger.
But in some traits of our polities we are not one.
In some traits WO differ from one another, and
we change from ourselves. You may say these
are subordinate, executory, instrumental traits.
Let us not cavil about names, but find the es
sences of things. Our object is to know the nature
of American nationality, and we are attempting
to do so, first, by contrasting it with its antago 7 ,
nisms.
There are two great existences, then, in our
civil lifo,whlch have this in common, though they
have nothing else in common, that they may come
in conflict with the nationality which I describe ;
one of them constant in its operation, constitu
tional, healthful, auxiliary, even ; the other rarer,
illegitimate, abnormal, terrible; one of them a
force under law ; tho other a violence and a
phenomenon above law and against law. It is first
the capital peculiarity of our system, now a coin.
mon place in our polities, that the affections
which we give to country, we give to a divided
object, the States in which we live and• the
Union by which we are confolded. We serve two
masters. Our hearts own two loves. We live in
two countries at once, and are commanded to be
capacious of both. How easy it is to reconcile
these duties in theory, hoi , reciprocally more than
compatible. how helpful anti independent they are
in theory, Bow in this respect our system's differ
ences make our system's peace, and 'from these
blended colors, and this action and counteraction,
how marvellous a beauty and how grand a bar
mony wo draw out, you all know. Practically
you know, too, the adjustment has not been quite
so simple. How the Constitution attempts it is
plain enough There it is: Litera eeripta mann
and heaven and earth shall pass before one jot or
one tittle of that scripture shall fail of fulfilment.
So we all say, anti yet how men have divided on
it. flow they divided in the groat Convention
itself, and in the very presence of Washington:
Row the people divided on it. - How it has
created parties, lost and given power, bestowed
great reputations, and taken them away, and el)-
lored and shaken the universal course of our pub
lic life. But have you ever considered that in the
nature of things this must be so? Have you ever
considered that it was a federal system we had to
adopt, and that in such a system a conflict
of head and member is in EOM form, and to
some extent, a result of course? There the
States wore when we became a nation.
There they had been for one hundred and fifty
years; for ono hundred and seventy years.
some power, it was agreed on all hands, we
must delegate to the now Government. Of
some thunder, some beams, some insignia, some
means of kindling pride, winning gratitude, at
tracting honor, love, obedience, frientiti-•—all men
knew they must be bereaved, and they were
eo. But when this was done, there were the States
still. In the scheme of every statesman, they re
mained a component part, untannibilated, inde
structible. In the scheme of the Constitution of
compromise itself, they remained a component
part, indestructible. In the theories of all public
ists, and all epeculatists, they were retained, and
they were valued for it, to hinder and disarm that
centralisation which had been found to be the
danger and the weakness of Federal liberty ; and
then when you bear in mind that they aro sove
reignties, sutasi, but sovereignties still; that one
of the most dread and transcendent prerogatives
of sovereignties, the prerogative to talcs life
and liberty for crime, is theirs without dis
pute; that In the theories of seine schools ,
they may claim to be parties to the great com
pact, and as such may, and that any one of
them may, secede from the compact when by their
corporate judgment they deem it to be broken fun
damentally by the others, and that from such a
judgment there is no appeal to a common peaceful
umpire; that in the theories of, sonata schools they
may call out their young men and their old men
under the 'pains of death to dory the sword point
of the Federal army; that they can pour around
oven the gallows and the tomb of him who died
for treason to the Union, honor, opinion, tears,
and thus sustain the lost untimely hour. and soothe
the disembodied complaining shade; that every
One, by name, by line of boundary, by jurisdiction.
Is distinct from every other, and every one from
the nation ; that within their inviolate borders
lie our farms, our homes, our meeting boners. our
graves ; that theirlaws, theircourts, their militia,
their police to eo vast an extent protect our per.
EOM from violence and our homes from plunder,
that their heaven ripens our harvests; their sehools

phore; when you consider this, you feel how practi
cal and bow inevitable is that antagonism to a
single national life, and how true it is that we buy
all our blessings at a price.
But there is another antagonism to such a na
tional life, less constant, less legitimate, less
compensated, more terrible, to which I must refer
—not for reprobation, not for warning, not even
for grief, but that we may know by contrast, na
tionality itself—and that is, the element of sec
tions. This, too, is old, older than the States, as
old as the colonies, old as the churches that plant
ed them, old as Jamestown, old as Plymouth. A

all of them it Is hideous. Candidem ems nig , r l "n

springing from that diversity of olimete. business,
institutions, accomplishment, and morality, which
comes of our greatness, and compels and should
constitute our coder and our agreement, but whioh

that self-love and self.preference which are their
own standard, exclusive, intolerant, and censori

ignorance, the jealousy of ignorance, the narrow

combine and grasp a complex nud variouk object,
and thus rise to the dignity of compassion, and for
bearance, and compromise; from the frame of our
civil polity, the necessities of our public life, and
the nature of our ambition, whioh forces all men,
not great man—the minister in his parish, the
politician on the stump on election day, the
editor of the party newspaper—to take his rise
or his patronage from an intense local opinion,
and therefore to do his best to create or re-enforce
it; from our federative Government; from our
good traits, bad traits, and foolish traits; from
that vain and vulgar hankering for European
reputation and respect for European opinion,
which forgets that one may know Aristophanee,

Caleb Cushing on the Fourth of July,
AT NEW TOBY; JULY 5i 1858.
Fellow-citizens : As I rise on this occasion to ad
dress you, innumerable thlok7coming fancies and
thronging thonghts of nationality - and of patriot
ism crowd on the mind. • 'I see, in imagination, all
the noble hosts of the martyrs of civil and reli
gions liberty in Europe crossing the seas to found
other empires of their own,' by the rivets sad
lakes, on the mountains acid prairies, and in the
solemn,forest-depths of America. I behold aNew
World, with its populous oltieti 7 -with its'agrienl
tore, its commerce, and Its arts—with its institu
tions of knowledge and charity—with its brave
men and fair women, and its happy homes—with
its fresh and elastio vigor of youth-born, a titanic
progeny out of the teeming loins of the Old World.
I perceive the long procession of the great and
the good renowned statesmen "and famous war
riors, the founders of the republic). I witness the
advent of imperial State after imperial State, as
heralded by the elcquenee of senates and the tu
mult of popular emotion, they much up; one after
the other, and wheel into the lines of the grand
army of the American Union.
Whiob, of all these dazzling objects, those 'rem'.
nisoencea and premonitions of glory, as they peas
along the lucid chambers of the intellectual vision
—which shall the will of the' orator call forth,
if be may, and arrest for present contemplation—
which shall he endeavor to embody in epic words,
to wake anew today the echoes of Tammany
Hall ?
What human lips, indeed, are worthy of the
sublimity of ouch a theme? It is our oountry which
on this day looms up in thought before us, with all
the infinite ideas of past, of present, and of
future glory, Incarnated as it were, in that great
figure. Our country! It should be 'the footsteps
of a celestial messenger, to conduct us frau bright .
paint to bright point In the pathway of her fame,
that reeplendent pathway;
"—Whose dust is gold,
And pavement stars "
It should be the trumpet-voice of a god . to pro
claim her glories from pinnacle to answenng pin
nacle in the wide firmament of her power, as " leaps
the live thunder" from summit to sumihit along the
etberial heights of the mountains. Behold her,
whore she stands, in all the majesty and strength
of her colossal proportions, the impersonation, of
republican liberty and order, the statuesque image
of demooratio energy and force, the great Amen

" The name of Commonwealth la put and gone,

Still one groat clime, in full and free defiance,
Yet ream her erect, unconquered and aubllme,
Above the far Atlantic "
Aye, and not above the far Atlantic" alone,
but now, also, above the far Pacifid. She t iff the ,
" Vestal" of unrifled independence always, and
still " throned by

earth joins the orient East. Behold her thus, I I
say, as, with the olive branch of peace in one hand
and the image of victory in the other,,ehe 'stands,
her loins girt with the azure and white bands of
the sky, and her head diadomed with the constel
lated.orbs of heaven. That is our country—to he
loved, honored, worshipped, at all times—but on
this day especially to be incensed with hearteaffer
ings of adoration and of devotion by the universal
acclaim of all who bear, or deserve te.bear, the
name of American. . •

Wonderful, most wonderful Is the providence Of
God! - Generations upon generations of men bad
lived and died, century after century, in Asia, Af
rica, and Ruropo ; great empires had risen up, and
flourished, and passed away ; ignorance' and wis
dom, barbarism and art, joy and sorrow, love and
hate, peace and war, had alternately swayed the
hour as the tides of human passion ebbed nnd flow
ed; China, India, AssYria, Egypt; Persia, Greece,
Rome, had successively trod the empyrean paths of
greatness, and had transmitted to random n Europe,
some their accumulated thoughts and arta, some
their ruined temples, palaces, and mausolea, some
only the faint shadow of a name, ma g-ni 1107711,71jS

mighty empires, had dome and gone, like figures
on the stage of a colieean amphitheatre, but-with
the earth its Boone, nations its actors, and the uni
verse its spectators. Ho was it is the Old World.
Meanwhile; hero was another and spit unknown
World, the predestined theatre of Tithe's last and
greatest act. The waters of the broad Atlantic,
-daily, hourly, momently, for ages uncounted,made
their voyage hither from the shore/J.of Nurope, and
their ceaseless rote broke in vain along the rook
blend coast of litassaohnsette, by the Narrows of
Narragansett or Manhattan, in the lordly hays of
the Chesapeake, on the sands of Pamlico and Ala
tainaha. Mighty rivers like the Mississippi, the
Alabama, the Potomac, the Susquehanna, the
Delaware, the Hudson, the Merrimac, the Kenne
bec, the Penobscot,—the great inland Belted Supe
rior, Miobigin, Huron, Erie, Ontario,—poured
their waters useless into the treasure-deeps of the
ocean. Snow-crowned mountains bold their ever
lasting watch over the silent valleys of the Katah
din, Wlnnipisoogee, Adirondao, or Allegheny In
the deep forests of the Monongahela, the Kanawha,
the Ohio, and theMiseensin,—by the green glades
of the Wabash, the Kentuoky and the Tennessee.
--by the fertile piairies of the Missouri. the Illi
nois, the lowa, and the Minnesota,—along the
sunny banks of the Catawba, the Santos, the
Coosa, the Apalachicola and the Arkansas,—fn all
these richest and loveliest regions of the habitable
globe, constituting -

all this world of promise there was no human
life save that of the untamable and scattered wild
mon of the woods ; It was the all-bounteous work of
the Creator, but the imperfect work, as it were, of
his apprentice) hand, for the Adam and Eve of the
net,' erection were not yet comet to occupy that
Eden of Cod.
I say once again—wonderful, most wonderful,
'was that Divine Providence, which had thus pre
pared, and held in reservation, as it were, this
paradise of the Now World, to be, not the asylum
only of the wronged, but the field of fame also of
the adventurous, of the men of the Old World,
which, at an epoch of the intensest materiel and
intellectual activity of modern Europe, unfolded
to its noople the tabula rasa of America on which
to write fresh lessons of political and social wis
dom ; and which, out of the downfall of dynasties,
and the agitations of religious enthusiasm, and the
fermentation of nations, evolvsd that greatest of
the works of social organization yet devised by
min—the Constitutional Covernmentof the United
States of America.
Thereupon commenced an event, or a series of
events. unsurpassed in importance by any in the
whole history of the human race—an event still in
progress--the early stages of which only crepe-cep
tibia to us, and of which we ourselves do not as yet
unhesitatingly accept and acquiesce in the 00113°-
00cm and results—l mean the exodus of Europe
to America. Armed emigrations of nomadic
nations have occurred far back beyond the date rf
authentic history its Asia and Europe; similar
events appear at the dawn of modern history In the
countries of the Mediterranean ; and at o yet more
recent period of time the movements and counter
movements of the nations of Europe and Asia pro
duced or nesompanied the dissolution of tho Em
pires of Rome and Constantinople. But the move
ment of Europe towards America has been of indi
viduals more than of nations ; sometimes aided or
favored by Governments, but quite as often checked
and obstructed by them ; and depending for its no
tion on private, not national, inducements and im
pulses.
Even Columbus had .but permission to discover
America; and neither Cones nor Pizarro had even
permission to undertake the colonization of Mexico
and Peru. And thus It was yet more emphatically
in the case of the foundation of the United States.
'Virginia, New York, Massaohusette, the Carolinas,
Maryland, Pennsylvania, each and all of them,
though colonized by the nominal authority of cot
ptirations or proprietary grantees in Europe, yet
were not colonized by Governments; and each of
the great colonies assumed to itself, almost at once,
and by revolutionary act, the functions of Beal
government, half severing in the very outset their
colonial dependence on the mother country. It is
the inspiration of individual Impulse from the be
ginning to this day, it is the idea of independence
and eelflovernment, it is the Demooratio p rinciple,
which, na it animated the infant colonies, so it
prompted the Revolutionary War, established the
Union, and has never ceased to Inform, direct,
and impel onward the people of the United
States in their march of colonization and of con
quest from the Atlantic to the Pacific shores of
America.
"AN EXPLODED SYSTEM,'
To THE EDITOR or " T s Prises:" Before being
entitled to an answer to the question, "what bend
finial results would flow from resorting to an ex
ploded system?" It would seem proper that your
correspondent, when he applies the terns to Pno
'merlon, should produce the evidence that it can
be thus branded. We can but think so, and we
hereby demand from him this proof, which should
he decline to furnish, we may reasonably infer that
he abandons his ground.
Is the Mtn total of the intelligence of the world
to be found in England—the warrior-trader, the
deg:oiler, and the plunderer of mankind? Is every
system which she for a selfish purpsoe—a desire to
turn all other people into farmers to raise produce
for her—proclaims obsolete, to be so considered
by us without an examination as to the ()Toot upon
ourselves and our posterity?
No such condition of affairs as "free trade" ex
ists in England—much ea Englishmen misuse the
term, it being as Lord Bacon has it ono of " the
idols imposed by words on the understanding."
If it did, however, we would not by that means be
furnished with any good and sufficient reason for
embracing it, seeing that it is this one monster
alone against which we need protection. When
in time of war wo resort to the great enemy who is
warring against us, for advice how to meet and
counteract his warfare, then will we furnish an
example of imbecility without a parallel in the
history of the world. Then will we render our
selves contemptible in the eyes of all enlightened
nations, and show ourselves worthy only to be the
slaves of that enemy. Tho warfare of Ragland
against which we are now struggling in the midst
of ruin, is of a character one hundred fold more
disastrous and demoralizing than a conflict at
arms of five years in duration. Are then these, our
worst enemies. to give us lessons in what our in
throats lie? No!
It may be profitable to make some inquiry as to
who are and who have been the teachers of the
British system of political economy, so justly
termed the "dismal science " The principal
among them aro Ricardo, Malthus, Alin, and
AloCui loch, and after them follow a host ofoopyists.
It is not assorting too much to uay that all of
their doctrines have been utterly. annihilated in
the development of the Amerman system of
"social soleneo," and each' one of these "phi
loeophers" is left . without a single foundation
stone upon which to rest hive tten fabric !
Their theories of " rent," " -population."
capital," "value," "banking," ' currency,"
"Cheap Labor,' and "Free Trade," aro alike
, swept from existence. The next generation will
look upon them—their dry bones and "exploded
systems"—as the feeble dawning of the noblest
solenee over demonstrated to mankind, and bear

mail, we are, indebted for the following portion
hirs
The peace commissioners, together with Goliar
nor Cumming and the postmaster, left Camp Scott
for Salt Lake city on the 2d instant. Nothing bad
been heard from them on to the time the mail left,
, though ten days had elapsed, and they were to
send bask an express upon their arrival in the
city. As it is only two days' travel (113 miles) be
tween Salt Lake and Camp Scott, it was thought
somewhat strange that nothing had been heard
from the commissioners.
The troop' were leaving for the city when the
mail loft. Gen. Johnston was to start on the 14th.
The troops wore all in fine health and spirits.
Capt. Marcy arrived at Camp Scott on the 20th
of Mo 7, his men in good health, and all his ani
mal's in fine condition. Col. Loring had also ar
rived from New Mexico. All of Col. finffnian's
supply train had got in. There was no news in
camp from Salt Lake later than what woe brought
by the former mail. Mr. Smith woo informed by
a gentleman who had been at Salt Lake. and who
was reliable, that all the women and children had
left for Provost, and that the men, or at least the
most of them, remained in Salt Lake city.
Mr. Smith met Major Seigwick about twenty
five miles above Ash Hollow, and another com
mand—name not remembered—ten miles this side.
Met Colonel Monroe's artillery at IdeFallan'e
Bluffs; General Harney, with Captain May's com
mand, on Little Blue, near Pawnee Fork. Tho
oth infantry had gone up Poll Crook, and were op
posite Fort Laramie. Mr S. met mails going out,
at South Pass, Ash Hollow, and Thirty - Two Milo
crook, this side of Fort Kearney. He also met
about fifty English Mormons, who were all well
armed, and were travelling very feet towards Salt
Lake. Mr.-Smith, as he went out, also met the
fifty families that have been heretofore mentioned
as leaving Salt Lake. at Green river.
Mr. Smith was at Camp Scott nine days. Whilst
he was there, ono of the Mormons who assisted in
burning Majors Os Russell ' s wagons, was taken.
Ho confessed, but relied upon the President's
pardon, extended to ail who would submit: Ile
was finally released.
There was considerable snow at Camp Scott on
the 10th. The Indians all seem quiet and peace
able.
It rained almost constantly as the mail came
in—roads very bad—grass better than ever before
known.
