‘ln elmoet - every casualty'to which steam

roue. The duatria, after alio had been set on
Sre, by the extreme folly of attempting to send
tlio atoerago prussongers up on dock by casting
a red-hot Iron chain into a backet of tar, waa
allowed to steam'on,'just as if every thing
was completely right and safe. The obviously
proper procedure would Have been immediate
ly to stop .the engine, and bring the vessel as
nearly to a stand-still as possible. Those who
have been at sea,in a steamboat, will recollect
that it sometimes was necessary to stop the
engine, when the journals became hot, and
that.tho moment this was done, every passen
.ger, was almost awe-struck at the sudden ces
sation of the mechanical motion, and ahxloua
ly Would inquire what aeddent had occurred?
In ia9t,'thia sudden suspension of progress is
one of, the most alarming events that can occur
at sea/ aud puts overy one on the gut' vive. 1
. Its expediency is indisputable. Whenever
any thing goes wrong -with a steamer, the
proper thing isito stop her and ascertain the
damage or ;the ■ danger—precisely as if we'
wore driving’a wagon upon a turnpike road,
and some part ot the vehicle gave way or the
harness .broke, we should immediately pnll up
to ascertain the'injury, and remedy it, if pos
sible. To go on with the damage unascer
tained and unprovided for, would be precisely
as prudent as, when a steamer is in great jeo
pardy at sea, to continue her course just as if
every thing was right.
In almost every ascertained case, the usual
plan has been to keep up the steam, and dash
alongj as if the continued,speed would carry
the vessel clear out of the danger. There
have been a few exceptions. Tbe case of the
steamer Independence, which used to’ ply be
tween Amboy,and New York, some years ago,
tnay,be remembered by many. As sbe rounded
Staten Island' it was discovered that she was
on fire. The passengers rushed to the boats,
to save thenifolves, before the actual danger
and its cause had been ascertained. The cap
tain instantly stopped the’engine, prohibited
the passengers horn throwing themselves Into
needless danger by trying to, escape, ascer
tained what the matter.was, had the fire soon
got under, and arrived at New York with very
little delay. Undoubtedly, bis presence of
mind mve'd vessel, crew, and passengers.
Had her engines been kept going, the .motion
, would bare made tbs wind fan the flames, and
the apprehended casualty would probably have
occurred.
In the cases of the Central America, which
was lost last year; of the Arctic, whose tra
gedy eoinrred In 1854; of the Lexington,
which wai burned in Long Island Sound; of
the Henry Clay, in tlio North River; and of
many other steamers, irreparable injury has
been doneby not taking the simplo, common
sense precaution of stopping the engine at
once. In lose of fire, tbo continued progress,
of tbe venal creates a current of air, which
actually fats the flame. So it was, the survi
vors tell ui, with the Austria. From some
causo, (the. engineers wore supposed to he
suffocated very soon,) the vessel continued to
run before be wind, and thereby the fiery im
patience of tbe conflagration waß increased in
rapid and distrnctlve tendency.
It Is alribst Impossible hurriedly to put a
steamer’s biata safely In the, water when she
continues atfallspeed. They get into the trough
formed by her progress through the waves,
and, in line cases ont of ten, are dragged in
under thb vlssel and upset or dashed to pieces.
The Austru had seven or eight boats, and
out of ail oltheso, only one was not swamped.
They were bt down when the doomed steamer
was in rapd speed. Had her engines been
stopped thetaoment that tho alarm of fire was
given, everyboat would probably have floated,
each with e precious freight of human lives.
That passlngers, unaccustomod to ocean
travelling, aould lose their presence of mind
when inferred their vessel was on fire, is
not to be windered>at., But' we.do confess to
great surprie at tbe manner in which experi
enced seamm often take leave of their senses,
Wbek susti ndde'n danger presents Its stormy
facp ’fofhep. We have no expectation that
what we Uab written will influence tbe minds.
ofThose wio navigate' ocean-steamers; but
ouf axiggestiona may be accepted by some of
those who bare to make, voyages, and it may
occur tosthem, should the moment of peril
arise, that the first thing to be done in such
an emergency is to insist on stopping of the
engines. ?

in> Those of your correspondents who advocate
this polioy either echo only what they hear from'

your banks. It is a conspiracy—nothing less—to
compel the country banks, to their prejudice, to do
what the oity banks, if pressed in tbe' same man
ner, would either break, or voluntarily wind up
The obarters of your oity banka are not worth the
parchment on whioh they are printed, should
they be required daily, or weekly, to pay wbat
they owe.' Will' some one of your oity corres
pondents take issue with me on this assertion? I
trust they .will, or cease to justify the oity banks

tion of those not in the oonspiraoy { but tbe trrie
intent fs mean and contemptible. Practically, it
oompels'the to pay a bonus to ena
ble theoity banks to share with them'the circula
tion of tbeir notes, and thus divide with the city
this profitable branch of the banking business.
All croaking and complaining about depreciation
and discounts Is fog,'and meant as auoh.
There is hot a community in the Oommonwe&Uh
where the current notes of our country banks are
not worth-lost as muehaa the notes of the oity.
Unless,made in person, remittances from theooun*
try ,t» the oity are made as advantageously to the
oity merchants 'sow.as' they would be should the'
country banks “keep their notes par In Philadel
; phla.‘ v Remittances are made almost' exclusively
:by draf(B. For these one-fourth to one-half per
| cent, is eharged. bprely. enough so, oover cost. If
your banks had the power to extend tbe oonspiraoy,
and compel banks and' branched, or express men,'
to remlt money at their own cost, they might do so
with equal propriety. ■ : u\ - i
Bat why this, oonspiraoy .against onr country;
(banks? Is Fennsylvauia the only State whose
■ funds ore 'not at par in Philadelphia ? Is the
;basin«S3bf your‘oity limited to our own’Btate ?
Why not .inoludo all oountry or other‘bank notes
no tat par? why single out our own State ? The
combination by your oity banks is voluntary; and.
‘no argument urged in support of the present move
ment, that' would not apply with equal force to
the banks of other States. Do they not' also pro
,xnise. to pay on demand; then, why should they
complain if, par is demanded? .Is not this in sub
stance the argument used by the oity banka?
Why should hot New York, Boston. Baltimore, and
other cities, say they will compel the Philadelphia
<hanks to keep their notes par with them?- Is net'
Philadelphia as greedy for ono-quarter per cent,
for .redemption, as our country banks are for.
;thrfee*etehths? .
! Infills respect, where is the difference? Ire
peat that this conspiracy Is intended to • force' on
the oountry the circulation' of your oity bank
notes. One of your correspondents attempts to
’construct an argument by an .attaok on the
Honesdale Bank. No doubt he was gratified with
an 1 opportunity to assail this bank." Allow me to
say, that for the past ten years, not a bank in
Philadelphia has been as’ablo as the Honesdale
Bank to redeem its circulation promptly, and that,
shoqld theoity bankssuooeed in tbeir attempt to
force their notes into more general circulation,
there Is not a county in northeastern Pennsylva
nia where Honesdale notes would not be takon as
readily, if notin preference. . -
1 The Hobesdale Bank did not refuse payment of
He notes, lost fall, for nearly two 'months after
; pour city banks suspended; and would have con 4
; inued paying specie, had not the city and other
hanks industriously labored to plok up its notes,.to.
procure tbe gold to sell at high rates.- Figures or
no figures,'we want many more just suoh banks as
the Honesdale. In mv judgment, it iB legitimately
doing more than any bank in the State to advanoe
its material interests.
If this .crusade by the city;bankfl against our
oountry hanks is to be persisted-in,.lt will be
found that others than'the country banka will' be
obliged to retaliate. If your city eari without
prejudice dispense with the oountry custom of the
State, no harm will be,done; but that this will
follow, by a movement, spontaneous and general,
in eVery county of this Commonwealth, I nave no
doubt. ;If your merchants do not want our money
thfljusdUJiarc.ftP opportunity, to,dispense.wlUx it
one-half, fper cent,, will. equalise'our- country,
money With New Y<?*k;eHyfundfl, ihd- this, hair
tbe Now Yorkers are ever trilling ter payl' It Is
Intimated that the merchants ofyour city give to
the banka each a bonus, in consideration that
they wlll receive our State funds at par, and that
indirectly your banks are. purchasing unonrrent
funds. If this be so,' and tbo statement can pro
bably be authenticated, the country will see the
necessity of availing itself of a market more en

The Washington Union in the South--
A Compliment.
[From the'New Orleans Delta, Sept. 29 .J
“ The English Bill and Mr. Enolibh.—The
Hon. Wm. H English, of-Indiana, , was ohairman
of the Committee of Conference which) reported
the Kansas bill that passed at the last session of
Congress, and his name has been flourishing ever
since in paternal association with that aot or feli
citous Inspiration by whioh a fearfully compli
cated crisis was got over, and the ologged wheels
of Government, dragged out of Borne of the, most
terrible ruts and miry plaoes they ever slid into.
The'English bill did the business gloriously in
that momentous conjuncture.
“The. Washington Union, with the pomposity
of FodJahdeen and the sagaoity of Verges, told us
as muoh,, and its columns were filled* day after
day,'with'ponderous praise of the English bill and
Bill English. That wonderfal production of in
spired compromise was set op, like Gessler’s oap
In'the heroio-fable of .William Tell, as a test of
Democratic fidelity and orthodoxy. Senator Dou
glas, who refusod to aid in the oreation, afterwards
declined to how down, spoil his hat, or by any
other eeoentrio performance, manifest his reve
renoe and admiration for the creature.
“ For this the Union denounoed.htm as a rebel,
a renegade, a traitor. For this he was to be out
lawed, and the whole business of the Democratic
party should be to organise itself into a vigilance
committee, and drive nim.and bisooadjutorsfrom
all the high positions and eomfortable places in
the' oountry. For this the friendly touoh of his
hand would be pollution; sympathy with him
would bo participation’in .his guilt; all faithful
Democrats were warned to harden their hearts,
and deny to him the bread and salt of hospitality.
“ Bat this programme of vengeance, so terrible
In theory, has proved miserably impotent in prac
tice. The war has fatten ridiculously short or the
proolam&tion. Soldier’s wouldn’t serve, cffioers
wouldn’t lead, and the Union is soverelyleft
alone in its fniy. Mr English himself has repu
diated the test of the English bill, in a late speech
having doctored that, in spite of the provision in
that hill requiring, if Kansas rejected the Leoomp
ton Constitution, that she should not be admitted
until'her ’population reached ninety-three thou
sand four hundred and twenty, ‘ ho would vote for
her admission whenever she presents herself with
a Constitution legally formed and approved by the
people of the Territory.’
“ This position of Mr. English puts him in the
same oatogory as respects the Union's charge of
< treason’ ngalnst Douglas, with Douglas himself.
But the Union has not a word of denunciation,
or reproof, oz expostulation for Mr. English, and
none for Mr. James H. Hopkins, the Demooratio
nominee for the Pennsylvania Congressional dis
trict in which Mr. Buohanan resides, although Mr.
H. takes th'o same ground as Mr. English with re
'snoot to Kansas and the English bill.
' ‘‘The Administration is known to put muoh
store by Mr. English, and to ardently desire
his re-eleotion, and Mr. Hopkins is well under
stood to be a friend of the Administration. Yet
both of them, aooordlng to the Union’* reasoning,
occupy & more odious position than Douglas; for
the totter goes for enforcing hereafter the general
rule of admitting no Territory without the popu
lation qualification,and wonld only exoopt Kansas
because the Demoorats bad once offered to admit
her regardless of that rule.
“On this sooro. then, the game is blocked o£.
the Union. That journal will certainly not have
the inorediblo hardihood, the reokleaa effrontery,
to assert that the Administration has one test for
Douglas, and another test, the reverse of that one,
for its friends who are nominated for Congress.
Yet the Union must do that, or do one oft he so
things—namely, Discontinue its furious warfare
against Douglas, or openly include in the objeots
of that warfare the Administration and the friends
of the Administration. That is the dilemma into
whioh the.' Union has floundered. The shortest
and least dangerous horn is too obvious to require
pointing out; but it is sot so obvious that the
. Union will seise it.”
Simultaneous Death of Brothers. —The
South Reading Gazette , Massachusetts, of last Sa
turday says:
•tDied in South Reading, of typhoid fever, on
last Sunday morning, Stephen Putney* aged 24
years. On Monday morning, Jonathan Putney,
brother of Stephen, agod 35 years. The latter had
been sick for several months, and his sufferings, a
considerable portion of the time, were most severe.
The disease of Stephen might, perhaps, have been
caused by attendance upon, and extreme anxiety
concerning bis brother. They hod always lived in
the family together, and when they knew that
they must die soon, it was their expressed desire
that they might die together; and they died to
gether, and were buried together, and now rest
side by side in the lame grave!”

Mass Meeting in the ‘ First; District,
SPEECH OF E. G. WEBB, Esq.
Th« Han meeting of the friends of Dr, Georgo
W. Nebinger, at Jefferson and Heed streets,on the
evening of the 6th instant, was one of the largest
and most enthusiastio political gatherings we heVe
ever witnessed. Addresses were delivered by, R
a, Webb; John W. Forney, Engene Ahern, and G;
TV. Nebinger. The following report of Mr:
Wobble :iemarfcs on that .oodaeion' will be read
with deep interest: , *
SPEECH OF B.G.WEBB.
PslloW-OITII»v» i It is probably known to many of
1 you that Dr Geo. W Nebinger, the regular Demooratlo
[ candidate for Congress, end myself were ardent sup
porters of fames Buchanan, and prominent actors in his
1 nomination and s ection .to, the. 1 Presidency—the one as
i Presidential elector, ,&nd the - other .as Belegato to the
, National Convention. At our time or life, men do not
change thfir.frieudships .without a cause. There must,
therefore, have been someactof Mr. Buchanan that in
duced the Doctor and myself to'oppose his leading mea
sure, andteonsequently all those members of Congress'
; from Pennsylvania who bowed down in abject servitude
to the injustice of that-imessure. Our .opposition does
, notarise from any disappointment springing. from an
application for office, for neither of oa sought a position
under the present General Administration, ife watched
however, with jealous vigilance, theunmsnlr course of
: Mr Boohaoan, after his election, and before’his instal
lation into office, and saw. with mortised feelings, the
gross injustice and absolute tyranny of his subsequent
conduct. His promises were as plentiful an “ leaves in
> Vallambrosa,’? only to be broken with an Infamous fa
ellity. Why, gentleman, v he r promised, with apparent
sincerity,.to make. Jehu Gurney Jones a'meaher of his
4 OAblnet. apd then rejected , him at the last moment,
with a pledge to take care ’of his Interestin other re
spects. The “sober second thought o may have’cos
' vinoed him of the total unfitness of Jehu for 'such a
position; Trat tbit fact proves both the uncertain Jodg
imehtof Mr. Buchanan and the utter, disregard of his
plighted f»lth>,What other man beside the President, in
ail this broad Confederacy, would have.ihought of con
ferring so dignified and important a position as Cabinet
officer on Jehn Jones ? A recusant priest, whose selfish
ness is as boundless as his ambition, and whose mind is
burdened with nothing but paerillty and hypocrisy'.' 3 In
charity, we must believe that Mr. -Buchanan’s failing
intellect prompted him to make , such a promise to
Jehu, and that his subieqaent;refu*al to fulfil it was
, the result of his natural disposition. Deeply, indeed,
did Jehu feel the humiliation of his rejectionbutasitls
his policy always to take 'care,of his own,interest, he
betook, himself to the White House, and there, in
plaintive 'whining*,‘spoke of his ruined fortunes and
blasted hopes.’' Jehuwaa supposed to have Berks coun
ty at his back, with her firs thousand Democratic ma
jority,'and she was.-therefore', tro important an item to
be lightly cast.aside* Without .her, Jehu is nothing
mors than a pompous imbecile’, whose counterfeit wise
look is easily detected la hie .vacant state. -But Jehu
had been disappointed in his r Cabinet aspiration*— In
foot, he had been deceived by the President, and es he
clamored loudly foy compensatory, favors. Hr Buchanan
and his Cabinet agreed to take care of Jehu and his
friends,* and thus'prove to the world that he was not
without.,lnfluence-,wUh.jthe .present Administration.
Gov Ployd, the Secretary of War, wrote a private let-'
ter to Jehu, announcing the intention or the Govern- 1
ment to place him. (Jehu) under Its patronage, at,
the same time informing him that circumstances 'had
nude it impossible for . the President to comply with
his promise as to the, Cabinet office, Jehu was cer
tainty In disgrace, and do fearful was he that the people
®f''Pennsylvania wonld view .hi# failure in that
light, he felt no restraint in miking the contents of
Governor'Floyd’s letter 1 known to many persons. He
subsequently gave the letter to me, with the ,request
that t_ would show it to all his friends who supposed
that he had lost his influence with Mr- BucHamm .l
carried that letter for many;ifeeks, and induced at least
fifty persons to read it, among them Robert Tyler,'Beq ,
who doubted the existence of such a letter from Gover
nor Ployd to Jehu,. His doubts were dissipated by;the
perusal of it, and the recognition of Governor Floyd’»
signature,' And l yet this same Jehu praties indignantly
at the exposure qf .private letters. My experience has
taught me, that when a worthless preacher qnits tbe
pulpit to become ascalypolitidan,*’ he soon caps'the
c I max of decsit and rascality .Whether Jehu is an ex
ception to what appears to be the ruieinrach oases; the
public must judge by hif actions.- The people of Berks
county are, now sitting as a jury ot condemnation on
this arrogant and selfish pretender, and 'they intend to
render their verdict on the second Tuesday of October
To their judgment let us cor fide this prlest-politioian.
But why do 1 oppose Mr;' Buchanan's Kansas policy,
and the truculent creatures who yield to his demands i.
As editor of the P«nniy/odniOn, I opposed the renoml
natiou of Genertl-P levee in many caustic articles-on tbs
subject of Kansas and thus made up the l reoord of my
views for my future guidance. It was the Kansas policy
of.the Pierce Administration, ‘that brought it ’under
condemnation and secured his defeat at Cincinnati
PereonaUyi General Pierce was one of Nature’s noble
men. full of generous sentiments and impulses so
on selfish that all he owned .was at the service of his
friends: His ' Cabinet; too, was'composed of men* like
himself, actuated solely by the sternest integrity. Hu
Kansas policy* sprang from th« conscious rectitude of his
intentions, because he- firmly .believed that the Union
was 1q danger, and that there was a party in the North
striving to rend it asunder. The great frauds In
Kansas bad not-thenrhecome so patent as they have
been since Mr. Buchanan’s inauguration., .There was,
therefore, something' to excuse the Kansas policy'of
General Bierce ;but there has been nothing to’extenu-'
ate the malign persistance in evil of Mr. Buchanan,
The Democracy of the nation bad'condemned'General
Bierce at Cincinnati, and the, “ Sage of.Wheatland o had
profited by that condemnation. .1 cannot imagine bow
Mr, Bochanan ever obtained that soubriquet, unless it
was coined in fhf diseased. some vile flatterer,
or Mentioned parasite. He never deserved,' because he
had Detet- ea'nCd ft title. ’ With''desperate
levity, this wlok*d oldman threatens not only to .‘‘crash
out” all who oppose®)* wloked policy, but he also seeks
to disgrace every man who interhoses an objection to his
wickedness. Occupying, as he does, the most corrupt
ing post la the corrupting profession of a mere politi
cian, his heart has become so frigid that he is fast pass
ing into an object of. unconquerable aversion all over
thotoatlen. His friendship is given to' a confederacy of
knaves, and with vidoda ingenuity he strives to reward
their flattery. Mr. Baohanan has lived long enough in
the world to have learned, that wltha laxity of prin
ciple no public man oan he either safe or eminent
The friendship ef such a man is always dangerous, aud
not unfrequentiy beoomes detestable. I know that be
Is even now surrounded by thosswho approach him with
smiling rancor and cringing pride, to b.»g a share of his
vast patronage { but this thing has become so common
that it has ceased to be scandalous. ;
Mr. Buchanan, in h<s inaugural address, promised to
bethe impartial President of the wholenation, and in i
eloquent language asserted that he had no .thought or
wish beyond the prosperity and welfare of his country,
and pledged himself to do equal and exict justice to all
1 parts of our country. He also d> dared that, he would
not'be a candidate for re-election, as his declining
years reminded him ofthe necessity of preparation for
another world. The fondness for power grows with its
exercise, and ’ a relinquishment of it seldom takes
place except upon coercion,-* Bylla, Charles the Fifth,
and Christina are the rare exceptions In Europe, and
our own God-like 'Washington established the prece
dent in these United States wh<eh no President has yet
dared to violate. When Air. Buchanan asserted his de
termination not to seek the Presidency for a second
term, his Cabinet had not been settled definitely, nor
bad his mind been corrupted by the gild and glitter of
the Presidency. What promises and alluremsnts were
subsequently held out to him by the ultra pro-slavery
politicians of the South, lam unable to state; hut to
judge by that unerring index, a-man’s actions, their
pledges most have been full and explicit to his sup- ,
port for a seeded term as President: When he consti
tuted his Cabinet the people of the .whole North and
West were demanding justice aud fair play to Kansas, <
that Territory being the all-absorbing topic of men’s
thoughts and conversation. With what sort of material
did he oonstruot that Cabinet? The army he placed
under the control of. a Southern Slave-holder. The
treasury was held by a similar head. The postal ar- <
rangements were given to another slave-holder, who i
had post routes and post offices to establish in Kansas, <
and numerous postmasters to appoint. The whole in- ]
ternal management of the eoantry was confided to
a fourth slave-holder ts Secretary of the Interior, with
immense patronage in the shape of Indian agendas,
land surveyors, wagon routes, Ac These four Southern
gentlemen dispensed millions of dollars to favorites
in and out of Kansas, in order to make it forcibly a
slave Btate. Their thirteen hun’red office-holders
in that fair, but- dlstraoted Territory—distraoted '
through the vlllanies of those very officials sent there
—strove with all tbe zeal of infuriated demons, to obey i
the orders of their masters in favor of slavery. - Fraud,
arson, murder, and rapine, were the instruments used
to effeot their atrocious purpose, and a debauohed and
p u rjon»d judiciary lent its willing aid in furtherance of
this object. The recent vote on tbeßoglish “finality
bill a finality .which.has since been discarded by all
the Congressmen from the free States who voted for it, {
except Florence and Jehu Jones'— <fao*rs that apart from <
the office-holders underthe General Government, them
are but three or four hundred citizens of Kansas who
desire that slavery shall exist in that Territory. What
portion of bis Cabinet did Mr. Buchanan give to the
free States of this Union? He gave to the West Gen. i
Gasi, as Secretary of State, whose business Is with fore ign
nations, and who had no patronage to bestow on Kansas.
Mr. Tracey, a garrulous YAokee from Connecticut,
whose pap*r mills had the rich contract for furnishing
the paper for the public printing, was called to the Navy i
Department, with noofficesto bestow on Kansas Jere
miah Black, or, os he is commonly known is Judge ,
Black, was given the Attorney Generalship, with a >
single Dhtrict Attorney to appoint for Kansas. And
this 1s what Mr. Buchanan‘calls impartial justice to
all parts of our Confederacy. If It were not his settled
design to force slavery into Kansas, again«t toe wilt of
its people, why did he give all the patronage of that
region to Southern slave-holders, to the entire exclu
sion of the free States ? He has been too long in pub
lie life to aot without an objeot, and that objeot could
only have been the result of a confirmed bargain with'
his keepers The utter selfishness and cold-blooded
calculations of Mr. Baohanan warrant ibis conclusion.
No reflecting man can mistake this fact.
Already his pensioned hirelings clamor for his re
nomination to the Presidency, by uttering the cookoo
notes of the Cabinet Only a few weeks ago, I was ap
proached by one of these “ birds of prey,’’ and asked
why I was opposing the policy of Mr. Buchanan. I
replied at length with some warmth, and was informed
by my cateobist that my opposition was useless, as the ,
necessities o» the country would require hie renomina
lion, and that I would have to vote for him. To thia
I gave an indignant contradiction, by asserting that
between Belzehnband Mr'Baohanan I would have no
choice I could not support Mr. Buobanan’a Kansas
policy if I were to try, without self-detestation Every
faculty of my mind, every impulse of my heart, re
jects, ,wlth vigorous power, that dexterous perfidy.
Such a policy could have sprung only from a mind dis
eased through all its faculties. For the reasons I have
given, I oppose, and shall continue to oppose, the
measures of Mr. Baohanan in reference to Kansas, as
he, in the obduracy of his nature, has planted himself
on the finality of the nefarious English u finality”
bill.
Let us pass Mr. Buchan’n by for the present, and
turn our attention to his shadow in the First Congres
sional district, Colonel Florence. The etas to which
the Colonel belongs is never vindictive, and never grate
ful. They fear nethlng but danger. Therefore, they
are never dangerons enemies; but are alwAv* danger
one accomplices, and so Mr Buchanan will find in the
future. The inventive faculties of this princeof hum
bugs is never paralysed He lives in an Ideal world of
majesVc forma, and trusts to bis genius f°r a vocabulary,
.11 bis own. to espliln tts beauties, The calls for h [»

would do credit to tbe met honole«s Bedlamite In the
BlocU't Ho.ptt»l- Hr, like the Pre.ld.nt, conciliate,
thos. who h.re met Wtt.rlr .nulled him, jest a. that
heartless dignitary abandons those who have served
him best. I have read that infamy is sometimes made
exquisite; bat this can onlv be the case where the feel
ing of a man’s heart is to be excused bj the abject im
becility of his intellect,, Of late, the Oolosel has as
earned a double character, Brmotimes speaking to his
friends in the mysterious conciseness of an oracle, and
again chattering with all the flippancy of a oonfirmed
coxcomb. I would bke him better if the smooth craft
of his profession were changed into the honest bitter
ness or scorn end anger. It is the more manly feeling
of the two, hod is generally the most approved. But as
soon will the leopard change his * spots as Colonel Flo
rence abandon the tricks bf the demagogue, which have
served him so many years in the place of statesmanlike
ability. - . t

this miserable demagogue pretends to be in favor of
