Dickens as he Was, and Is. , ; Onr estimable friends, tke Fnbllo, frequently entreat ub to indulge them with articles upon particular-subjects,: and arc dissatisfied, we presume, when their requests are hot com plied with.. We might make a very readable article, by merely stringing 'together a series of extracts from those communications. For tho most part, weare reluctantly to paiy-. little attention to *’ particular de mands, eith£ r tj 6c^uge suggested subjects ore impracticable, or because‘wo areunablo to discuss them properly, or because they would scarcely ho acceptable to. the mass of our readers. The better way, we would gently insinuate, is to leave subjects and mode of treatment to ourself. - Here, however, is', a request, to which we feel bound to: accede. It is prettily Written, on pale rose-tinted paper, evidently,with the neatest of gold peto of the tini?at^;of^. crows’ quilis, haB a forget-me-not seal impressed upon cream-colored wax, and a scent of delicate patchouli pervading the tri-cornored billet. It hears tho anonymqus signature of “Lyra,” and. ft' prays, in this prettiest sentences, that, as Charles Pickens is supposed to ho about revisiting this country, we would inform the fair writer iu particular, and the rest of our readers In general, what he reads In public, and turn he does it. .We cheerfully comply, the moro readily be cause the same subject had previously sug gested itself to our own ipind. 1 The personal appearance of Charles Dickens may here he briefly described i Next 'February he will have completed his forty seventh year, having boon born in 1812, at Lafldport, Portsmouth. When in this coun- try, seventeen years ago, Hr. Dickens some what resembled the portrait, by Kaolise, which was prefixed, we believe, to the original edition of “Nicholas Nickleby.” It was taken When Dickens was twenty-seven years old, and the artist succeeded in poetizing features which, though regular, were cemmon plaCe, and 1 in throwing expression into a face which really had scarcely any. That Hacllse portrait, with which American readers are very familiar, simply Bhowed an over-dressed young gentleman, with long hair hanging down in the fashion, oommonly called dogs’ ears—the French, we think, call them oreilles. This hair, which was then very profuse, was darker than chestnut, and lighter than brown. It.was flowing .and silky, with a tendency to curl. The painter represented his subject as rather gorgeously got up, as respects an ex tensive'front of black satin, garnished with brilliant Jewelry. The original, when he condescended to visit us, literally had a me teoric appearance, so brightly flashed his many ornaments—brooches, brcast-plns, and sparkling rings. We have often wondered that, in his days of puppyism, Charles Dickens did not adopt the Italian fashion of wearing ear-rings. He should have cut off his love-locks, however, to display these ornaments, and probably had not sufficient strength of mind to make that terrible sacri fice. . - ' Seldom did a more highly-dressed young gentleman ' glitter on than the Charles Dickers of 1841. Were we satiri cal—which wo certainly are nof—We might even say that he Was over-dressed. Addicted to that description of flashy vests, described by Toang England 'as very loud; stack into .'coa£ and pants, on which the genins of Stultb had evidently been employed; wearing the tallest and glassiest of chimney-pipe bats, the thinnest morocco boots, tho gayest kid gloves, and the tiniest of aU delicate canes, Charles Dickers, as he emerged from Carl ton House, (a great hotel of. the time, much affected by English visiters to New York,) was a. remarkable-looking young man. He would have struck a passing stranger as an 'actor, folly dressed to'represent the character of a fop, in some comedy or farce where the dramatist desired to have a fling at young men who, aping at fashion, ran into wild ex travagances oi attire—ont-Brnmmeling Batm hel, and ont-D’Orsaying D’Orsat. At that time, toe, Dickens was as closely « shaven and shorn” as if he really were an actor, and his face was deeply lined as tho faces of actors often are, from the wear, and tear which the muscles are professionally subjected to. It is very different now. Seventeen years have changed Dickers, and improved hiß per sonal appearance. He has become stonter, without being too full—robust, but not bulky. The oreillee have disappeared. Either Time, or the barber, has “ thinned his flowing hair.” His taste in dress has become mitigated, and, he exhibits a limited supply of jowoliy, exhibiting only a singlo ring. Hu wears a Kossuth, instead of a chimney-pipe hat. Tho flash, “ lend ” vests of by gone years may now be catalogued among Dickens’s aban doned habits. 'The face, once so smooth, now is hirsute. He rejoices in a full beard and moustache, though ho still is wbiskorless. Tho hair, which is very sparsely sprinkled with gray, has retired a little off his forehead, so as to give a fall view of that “ Dome of thought, that palaeo of the i&lmi.” His features, too, hare greatly been im proved, as to their expression, by the advance of time. - He looks, what he is, a shrewd, clever, observant man. .You might easily give him credit for being an humorist—witty him self, and tho canso of wit in others; bnt few, gazing upon Diokens, the living likeness of a man of the world, would suspect what depths of imagination, poetry, and pathos lie within his heart. Had you the opportunity of study ing that face, you might imagine that Charles Biokens was an astute lawyer, a shrewd mer chant, a keen specnlator, a clever engineer— any thing, In short, but the tear-exciting au tbor of Little Kell, the mirth-making creator 1 of Sam Weller. For bis expression is wbat j we may call keen. He looks as it no one j need try to' overreach him. Ton would rea dily take bim for a bard, close, worldly man, ] and yon wonld greatly mistake him. > Charles Dickens may have been foppisb, ‘ rain, and fnll of pretonce, but be is one of : the most good-natured of mortals, with as ! tender a heart as ever beat within a human ■ bosom. Among the many points of difference . - between him and Tuaokebat, the most unde niable is that Dickers is a whole-souled, ge nial man, of large humanity, whereas Thaoke ,*at is a cynic and satirist, who simply goes in for enjoying himself, and, with undoubted ability as a writer, prefers portraying the dark features of the great family of man. Dick ens's heart overflows with the milk of human kindness, while Thackebae’s is a living foun tain of oil—of vitriol 1 The advance of years, too, has not only modified the expression of Dickens’s face, but improved his features. The lines about the mouth, so deeply marked in youth, have not become greater, and are now not unsuitable to his time of life. Dickens has had much to be thankful for in the way of health. Per haps he never had two days'consecutive ill ness in his life. He is fond of society, but never came within many degrees of what is called “ a hard liver.” He is as laborious as he is gifted, and the quantity of his writing is as much a marvel as its superior quality. Some of our readers may desire to have a list of Diokens’s writings, with the dates of publication. They are as follows : 1. Sketches byßoz, 1836. 2. Village Co quettes, a Comic opera in two acts, 1836. Bi'The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club, 1837. 4.

(Cheers.)' ‘They saw, they wisely saw, that the Idea of controlling' the Territories by the action of Oongte&J whs an obsolete idea; and when it was propose&jW a compromise measure, to accept the doctrine that the people, of tho Territories should be allowed to govern themselves, they voted for thatbropb aition, and by that aot they surrendered (and in so muob, tboy committed their party to that surrender) the views theretoforo urged by themdn . favor of the doctrine of Congressional Interven tion. And when the people of the North, end' of the South, shall meet upon that platform (as meet they must) the designations of parties will sink In to insignificance, and wo shall rally under one great and invlnoible name. {Loud applause.] For, gentlemen, that party (oallit what you may, name it what you please) whioh accepts that great doc trine of popular sovereignty is bound to win* and the party which denies It is bound to lose. [Cheers.]’ The Administration of’the tfedoral Government - deny that principle. Thoy have accepted all the responsibilities of that denial; and upon their heads be the consequences. Thoy, atloast, have no right to tho name of the Demooratio-paxty. [Applause.] After oil, wbatis the Democratic principle ? “Is it that a minority should rulo? Is it that the office holders should make our nominations? No! Itis simply that tho honest majority should rule. [Cheers.] On Saturday last, I went out to make a speech at a Democratic meeting, called in favor of a gen* tlejnan who may bo 3 familiar to you hero—John Wood. [Loud applause.] I found that meeting' organised' under Democratic auspioes. . I made my specoh, sueh as it was. The other speakerk'al that meeting were Dr. George W. Nebloger, : thh,- Democratic candidate for Congress in. thc-'Fw&. distrieWobd several btbor gentSamen TfdtPknowff in the Demooratio party. My speech wasprinted; A day or two afterward I discovered that a obargo was formally made against me, that I had gone into another district and hod united with tho Re publicans. Lastmlght, when I went into tbeFirii, distriot to make a speooh in favor of Dr. Nebinger,) I found the politicians inconsiderable exoitement, and it was desired that I should make explana tions. My answer to that allegation was, that I had gone to a Demooratio meeting, to advooate a Democratic prlnoiple, [applause,] to support that principle which underlies onr whole repub lican fabric, to stand by that without whioh we should have no republic. In reply to the oharge Of uniting with the Repub" iioans, I direoted their attention to the state of things that exists across the line—that line whioh divides Chester and Montgomery, and, in a por tion of the district, that line which divides Phila delphia from Chester. I reminded them of tho great contest whioh is going on therebetween John Hickman and the hosts that are confederated against him. [Applause.! -Yes, gentlemen. let me dwell for a moroont upon the name of John Hiokxnan—the man who is fighting that groat bat tle. There.he stands warring against the com bined hosts—agalnsta portion of the Bepnblloan party and against the Leeompton party. What does he ask from power? what does be desire from Administrations? What does be oare/or an election to Congress, or for an official station of any sort? All that no desires Is to see vindicated the imperishable principle of popniar sovereignty and of Northern rights. [Loud applause.] Let the Republicans here, if they have any influonoo with their Bepublioan brethren in that distriot, tell them to draw off their man; for, by keeping him in tho field, they are simply assisting tho Leeompton candidate. We have urged against us here a charge of combining with the Republicans; when I come bore to talk to yon it is alleged that I am uniting with the Bepublioans. But what do we see there in Chester county ? Wo see the Leeompton party (that party whioh, in Montgomery county, will vote for Owen Jones, and whioh, in this district, will vote for Joshua T. Owen—that party whioh, at their mooting to-night, are probnoly charging me with combining with “ the Black Republi cans”)—wo boo that very Leeompton patty in Chester county ready to combine with the Repub licans to effoot the defeat of a man who Bttitts upon the platform whioh I ocoupy here! Again: Turn your view to tho western tier of conntieß; oarry your eyes to the Maryland border; what do yoa discover there 7 You soe William Montgomery oarrying forward the Demooratio i flag—oarrying forward the popular-sovereignty flag—clothed with the armor of regular nomina tion, having been nominated by the Demooratio Conventions and Conferences of all the counties In his distriot—we find many of these Leoompton men supporting a Republican—Jonathan Knight— In opposition to tho regular Demooratio candi date, simply and only because the latter happons to bo in favor of the principle whioh elected Mr. Buohanan President. As for myself, this cry of uniting with the Re publicans has no terrors for me. I have an in tense, instinotive, traditionary regard for the De mocratic party. I am deeply devoted to the name, deeply devoted to tho principle. On my way to this place to-night, I said to myself involuntarily, u How is it that, at a oitisens’ meeting I am to spoak in favor of a Demooratio principle ? How is it that I shall be surrounded by those who have heretofore been opposed to tho Demooratio party ?” Tho answer, In my'own mind, was tbit: “Tne men that have heretofore opposed you are now with you; the organisation with whioh you have been in the habit of noting has been usurpod by a set of office-holders. The Administration is against mo, not the party.” No, gentlemen; let mo rescue the musses of the Demooratio party from any suoh imputation And I appear here to-night not to unite with political foes, but to address those who aro oomblnod to put down a despotism whioh insults the Demooratio party by assuming ts name. Let mo, at tills point, oall yoqr nttontion to a : oiroumstanoe, showing the difforenco betweon the | ? resent day and a period eomo thirty years ago. ( n 1826. when John Qninoy Adams was President i of the Uoited States, ho was (as those somewhat older than myself will personally remoinber) ; recognised as a Democrat. The great name of , Andrew Jaokson (that name wbioh the Democratic . par ty will always revere—that homo whioh I shall ever venerate) was then beginning to loom abovo : the horizon of politics as the future Presidential oandtdate the Amerloan people. At that time, hoWBVer, John Qiinoy Adams had become infa -tuaiuu an Presidents do) with the idea of ob taining a re-oleotion to the proud position wbioh lie occupied; and ho conceived the idea of adopt ing it as his policy to appoint to office suoh men only as were in his favor, and to remove all thoso whom he judged to be his opponents. So startling to the men of that day was Mr. Adams’s policy (which in these times would perhaps scorn extremely moderate) that tho Democratic portion of tho Senate—or, rather, thoso whom we havo since been in tbo habit of recognising as suoh-- deemed it proper to r&iso a committee for the purpose of Inquiring into tbe distribution of exe cutive patronage, and of protesting against the prostitution of that patronage for polltiool pur poses. At the head of that oommittee.waa the distinguished Senator from Missouri, Thomas H. Benton, and among its members were Martin Van Buren, of New York, Nathaniel Maoon, of North Carolina, William Pinday, of Pennsylva nia, Mablon Dickerson, of New .York, Rlphard M. Johnson, of Kentucky, Robort Y. Hayne, of South Carolina. That committee, in their report, use tbe following language: To be ableto show to the Ben&t* a full and perfeot view of tbe power and workings of Federal,patronage, the committee addressed a note, immediately after they were charged with this inquiry, to each of the depart ments, ana to the Postmaster General, requesting to be ifformod of the whole number of persons employed, ana tho whole amount of money paid out, under the direc tion of their respective departments. The answers re ceived are hereunto submitted, and made part of this report. With the Blue Book, they will discover enough to show that tho predictions of those who were not blind to the defects of the Constitution are ready to be realized; that the power and influence of Federai patronage, contrary to {Ae argument in the * Federal* is an overmatch for the power and influence of State patronage ; that its workings will contaminate 1 the purify qf all elections, and enable the Federal i GovtrJitricnS eventually to govern ikroughout th* States as effectually as if they were so many provinces of one vast empire. ‘‘The whole of this RreAfc power will centre in the President The King of England 1b the * fountain of honorj’ihg Prasu/enlo/tAe ifnited'Statesio the source Of patronage, He presides' over the entire system of Federal appointments, jobs, and contracts.

There may he exceptions; hut the trath oC ft general rule 1b prored by the exception. The in* tended check and control of the Senate without / new copßti rational or statutory provisions, will cease to ope* rate. Patronage-will penetrate this body, suhdne its capacity of resistance, casin'it to the car of power, and enable the President to role as eas'ly, and much m»re securely.'wilh than without the nominal check of the Benate, if the President was himself the officer of the people, elected by them and responsible to thorn, there would be le*s danger from this concentration of all power in bis bands. But it is the business of states* upon thlogdflflthey are. not as thoy.would .wish them to We must, then, look forward to the time when the public revenue will be doubled; ■when the civil and military eTlcers «f the Federal Go vernment will be quadrupled: when its influence over individuals will be multiplied to ao indefinite extent; when the nomination by the President can ca-ry any toan through the Senate and Ms recommendation can Carry any measure through the two Houses of Congress; when the principle of publio action will be open and avowed. ‘The President wants my vote, and I want his patronage; 1 will vote as he wlshos, and he will give me the office I wish for.’ What will this b© but the government of one roan? and what ia the govern meut of one man but a monarchy?. Names are nothing. The nature of a thing is in its substance, end the name *ooa acttoaltnwl&tes itself to tho snbstance. The first Roman Emperor was styled Emperor of the Republic, and toe last French Emperor took the s*me title; and their respective countries w'erb just as essentially mo narchical before as after the assumption of these titles. It einnot be denied or dissembled hut that the Fe'deral Government gravitates to the same point, and that the election of the Executive by the Legislature quickens the impulsion. /,• ‘‘Those who make the President must support him.

Part I, page 4»8. et stq. The report from which this extraot is token was welcomed by the country with, acclamations. It was regarded by tho Democratic party as a platform of. principles. One yoaT after the presentation of that report tbero anpearod in the popular branoh of Congross a highly dis tinguished statesman—a man in wuofb his tory and character there was everything to in terest bis constituents and his friends. Horn in one of the middle counties ot our great Stato—tho Son of a father who had toiled to gTvo him tho edu cation whioh had made him distinguished—himself one of the promiang ytmng men of another coun ty, nearer to Philadelphia than the one in which he was born—that young man had been returned by a ooufiding oonstituonoy to popular branoh of Congress. That man was- James Baohanon, of Pennsylvania. Representing there \ho vlejVsof his constituents, ho defended this report in a spoeoh of commanding ability. This speech', strange to say, was made In reply to' John Sergoant, of Pennsylvania, Whose omytoh, in 1356, voted (as did mq.ny of the old-lino. Whigs) with tho Domo ornoy, for James Buchanan; out thntßon is now, (as are, I trust, many of the old-lino Whigs) against tho extraordinary and despotio assumption ot the Federal Administration, f Applause J Allow me to rehd an extraot from-that speech of Mr. Buchanan’s I “My colleague has deolared that he would not hare introduced Bush' resolutions, because they might tend to injure the Government of the country in the estima tion of the people. Against this position I take leave ts enter my solemn protest. Ia It the republican doo trine? What,slr! are we to be told that we shall not in quire into the existence of abuses In this Government, be cause such inquiry might tend to make the Goveromqnt less popular? Thi* is new doctrine to me—doctrine which I have before upon this floor. ‘ “ Liberty, sir, is a precious gift, whioh can never long be enjoyed by any people without the most watobful jealousy. It is He.-perfau fruit, which the evor-wakeful jealousy of the people cau alone preserve.. The very possession of power, has a strong, a natural tendency to corrupt the heart.' The lu*t of dominion grows with its possession; and the man who.'in humble life, was Sure and innocent and just, has often been transformed, /the long possession of power, into a monster. In the sacred book; which contains lessons of wisdom for the politician as well as for the Christian, we find » happy illustration of the corrupting influence of power upon 'the huraaU heart When Hxsael came to consult Elisha, whether .his master, the Aiog of Bytia, wonld recover from a dangerous illness, the prophot, idoking •through the vista of futurity, saw the crimes of which the 1 messenger who stood before Mm would be guilty, and he wept. H&zael asked, ‘Why weepeth my lord!’ Thtf prophet then recounted to him the murders and ‘the'cruelties of which he should be guilty towards the ■ Mrildreu bf,lsrael, Hax&el, in the,spirit of,virtuous . .Lord hath showed me that thou shalt be King of Syria.’ This man afterwards became king by the mur der of his master, and was guilty of enormities the bare recital of which would make us shttdder.” I trust thattbo application is os olear to yon as it was to him. [Laughter and applause.] “ The nature of man, says Mr. Buchanan, la the same under republics and under monarchies The history of the human race proves that liberty can never long be preserved without popular jealousy. It Is the condition of Its enjoyment. Our rulers must be narrowly watched. When my colleague advanced the postion which he did. he could not have foreseen the consequences to which b[s doctrine would lead.. I know that he never could have intended that it should reach thus far; but, ;ret my inference Is perfectly fair, when 1 declare that : t is a doctrine which only suits the calm of despotism. It is the maxim of d spots, that the people should never inquire Into the concerns of Government Those who have enslaved mankind, from Cayar to Bonaparte, have always endeavored, by promoting them with amusements, And by every other means in their power, to’atlractthe attention of the people from the conduct of their rulers. I therefore d ffer. toto ecelo , from my colleague, upon this point. If the resolutions of the gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. Chilton) shall have the effect of more earnestly ana more closely directing the attention of the people to the concerns of the Govern* ment, the result will ha most fortunato. If the Govern* ment has been administered upon correct principles, an intelligent people will do justice to their ruleis; if not, they will take care that every abuse shall be corrected. “ It is true that in times like the present, the Repub lic is always most in dangor. When the clouds of ad versity are lowering over the country, and when direct taxation becomes necessary for the support of the Qo* vernment, the people are watchful and jealous, and will then attend striotly to their own concerns. It Is in the halcyon days of peace and prosperity, when the jealousy of the people slumbers, that abuses are likely to steal into the administration of your Government. I charge not the present Administration with corrup tion; but I do most Seriously believe that several of their measures have bad a strong tendency towards It. I thank heaven that, In these days, a ‘ military chief* tain * has arisen (whose name Is familiar to the lips of even the most humble citizen of tbis country, because bis services live in tbelr hearts) who will be able, by the suffrages of the people, to wrest the power of this Government from the hands of Its present p-'SRMBOrs. No one'elie could, at this time, have successfully op posed the immenso patronage and power of the Admi nistration.” **•* * • # # (i I now advance to attack & position in the argument of my colleague, which I believe to be a perfect para <Jox. ija asserted, and attempted to prove, that the patronage of the Government did not tend to strengthen, but rather to weaken, the Admlnintration by which it was distributed If that gentleman’s character for candor were not above suspicion, as I flrmly-bel'eve it to be, I Bbould doubt bis sincerity. To establish this 'position, he said that gratitude was a weaker passion, than self-love, wb’ch I admit, and that, therefore, the Administration lost more hr disap pointing candidates than they gained by their appoint ment. Dutdoefl not the gentiemauknow that, when a man la once appointed to office, all the selfish passions of his nature are enlisted for the purpose of retaining It ? ¥bo offloe-boldere are the enllßted soldiers of that Administration by which they are sustained. Their comfortable existence often depends upon the re-elec tion of their patron. Nor does disappointment long rankle in the hearts of the disappointed. Hope is still loft to them; andbearingdisappointmentwltb patience, they know, will present a new claim to office at a fu turotlme. ‘»ln my humble Judgment, the present Administra tion could not have proceeded a single vear. with the least hope of re-election, bat for their pattonego. This patronage may have been used unwisely, as my friend from Kentucky (Mr. Letcher) has insinuated. I have never blamed them—-I shall never blame them—for ad hering to tbelr friends, fie true to your friends, and* they will fee true to you, Is the dictate both of justice and of souhd policy. I shall never participate in abusing the Administration far remembering their frUnds If you go too much abroad vnth this pn ironnge, for the purpose of making new friends, you will offend your old ones, and make but very insincere converts . . , . , “ But has the gentleman from Pennsylvania adverted to the consequences of his doctrine ? 1 here is no dan der from patronage. If «■>. there Is no occasion for jealousy on the part of the States towards this Govern ment Ail the ,-principles which actuated our fathers, which made them watch the Federal Government with Argus eyes, for the purpose of restrsining it within tho limits of the Constitution, were utterly vain For my part judging from history, whon this Government was commencing its operation, when its patronage was comparatively small, it required the Immense weight of character, which the Father of his Country possessed, to put the wheels of the machine into successful mo tion I think there was then more’dangsrof a dissolu tion than a consolidation of the Confederacy. I should then, 'wheu the words had some meaning, have been a Federalist, rather than an antl-Pederalist I have been called a Federalist, and I shall never be ashamed of the name The times have since greatly changed. The power and the patronage of this Government have been extended, and are felt in every neighborhood or this vaatemplrA There is now infinitely more danger of consolidation than of disunion: and the States should now be Jealous of every encroachment upon their rights. The argument of my colleague would put them to sleep. Upon his theory, the British Government must be very weak, because It poasesea ten, nay, I might say tweaty-fold the : patronage of this Government.”— Gales & Seaton's Jtegister of Debates, vol . tv., Part I , page 1§62, etseq. This speech was mado thirty years ago, when the Executive patronage was about twenty mil lions per annum. What do we goo now 7 Now, when the sway of the Federal Government almost out-tops in its potenoy that of tho Queen of EDg* land—surpassing it, oortainly, in point of praotloal power; now, when the Government is approaohing tho narrow oonGoes of despotism, in tho hands of a President who chooses to exeroise that power, what do wo see? We behold him who preaohed tho dcotrine which I havo read, using tho entire power of his .Administration for the purpose of crushing out the living, tho vital, tho essential principle of Ropublios. [Applause J It is a blow aimed not merely at the Demooratlo party; for to you, Republicans and Americans, who are here, I pay no empty compliment when Isay that I believe you to bo equally devoted with myself to the institutions of your oountry. We differ as to measures, we agree as to prinoiple. If the time should oome (God forfecd that it ever should come!) when the foot of a foreign invader shall press upon our soil, not one man, I firmly believe, of those whom I now address, but would be found ready to tako a foromost part in defending the saored soil of the American Republic. [Applause. Recollect, gentlemen, that when Mr. Buohan an made this great speeoh, the patronage of the Fedoral Government amounted to about twen ty millions per annum, and yet the dispensation of this patronage so' alarmed the leading Demo crats in 1826, and so distressed Mr. Bhohanan in 1828; that it w«(F deemed worthy of* tha molt sol- omn and serious denunciation. If they were alarmed at the prostitution of pablio patronage in thoie days, what must those who yet live, what must Mr B nob an an, think, even asagaiosbhimself, when they refleot upon the enormous power con ferred upon the present Exooutivo, with nearly one hundred'millions at his disposal, which is dis posed of, us we have seen, with a recklessness and violenoo such as would profoundly alarm the pa triots of the Revolution, and suoh as, excite the apprehensions of the most distinguished patriots of the present day? In the olden time,*when the Democratic! party m&rohed into battle with conquering column and victorious banner, the ruliog Idea, as enunoiated by-Andrew Jaokson, wss “.The Union! the Federal Union! it .must and r\ball be pre served!” [Loud cheers] Bat the new idea of’the present day is, “The President! the Federal President! ho must and shall be' sus tained !” Against this novol doctrine I enter my solemn, my determined protest If there Bhould be, in any part of this Jb'tato, any Democrat with whom I have co-operated in the battles of the party—any friend of James Bpohanan—l trust that he will romember that the vote which he may give for anyLcoomptonmonwillbe an endorse ment of this new and dangerous theory. ; [Ap plause.] But to returrr : to the eloquent speech of Mr. Bu chanan And the roflootions it suggests. Mr. Senator Brown, o( Mississippi, in address ing tho pcoplo of that State a few weeks ago, took occasion to refer to a private conversation which he had had with Mr. Buohanan.! It Is a most ex traordinary fact, by the way, ttfat nobody is de nounced for repeating a private conversation con cerning a public question,' unless be happens to be a Northorn man. [Laughter and applause ]. The purport of tbis private conversation upon a public matter was, that the President had asAuked h<m that he would remove all mon from office'who did not aooept the English bill ax a finality on the Kansas question, Mr.. Brown, in referring to this, remarked, “I regard Mr. Buohanan as a tittle weak in the baok-i but I intend to hold him to the issue. I am not here todisVnss a question of anatomy—lo determine whether Mr. Buchanan is weak in the back; or whether he is weak In the ktices* (as a dis tinguished Senator from Perihsylv'anio, said,on 000 ncoaßion;) or whether he Is weak .in the head [laughter]; or whether heisVoak in the heart. All that I wish to say is, that I demand that the same rule which applies to tho North, in reference to the distribution of patronage,- shall apply to the South. When Mr. Buchanan wap elected Presi dent of tho United States, Ho caused it to be an nounced throughout the land that he would allow no man to romaln.in office more than four years; that any man who had been in offioo for a longer period must give place to another. This was. so well understood as the polioy of the President that men who had beou in office throe years and a half prepared to retire at the end ot six months. Whafc'was.the course of the South? Whon they diroovered that tbis rule had been adoptod, they demanded of the Pretident that ho should make an oxoeptton in their favor. They said, “We deny this doctrine; wo decline to submit to this rule ” And Mr- Buchanan yielded ! It is a fact eminently creditable to the Southern people—it may be called one of the seorets of their great power—that- when a good man, holdlog an offioo, fulfils its duties, they keep him in office, no matter what his politics. [Applause ]“A promi nent characteristic to bo traced ih the history of the South (that gallant Bouth—that South so muoh aboßed, somuoh availed—somotlmeß arrogant and tyrannioat. I admit, but still that gifted and glo rious South) is, that when they make up their minds to oompol a policy, they oompel It. Would to God that we could infuso a little of that old fashioned courage into Pennsylvania!. [Loud' cheers [• Would that we could borrowsomo pluok from Virginia! Would that we could thunder in tho halls of the White House as South Oarolina thunders! Would that wo could sond our Sena tors there as tho South sends hers, to rant and tear, if you please, but always to win ! Somo years ago, a President of the Untied Stntos, being waited uppn by a Southern delega tion, asked whom they desired to have appointed oolleotor at a particular port. “What do you mean, sir?” exclaimed the leading member of the delegation. “Whom will wo have appointed 00l icotor at that port ? Why, sir, is not the man now bolding the office good enough?” “ Oh, yes,” replied the President, “but he is a Whig ” “We have nothing to do with that,” was the answer; “be is a.good officer, and we are suited/ We are not scrambling for place.” The President held up his bands in surprise. In his ‘school’ ho had been taught, that any man, if a political opponent, should for that reason be turned out. Those- gal lant men said, “No; we do not quarrol trounge or place; we are ready to retain .in.office any man who does bis duty, no mattorwhat may be his party name ” [Applause ] • To the South beloogs.tne high eredit of having preserved itself from this miserable.wrangle for place.

He deolarea that ho intended to bold Mr. Buohanan to his pledge that he would turn out of office every man who would not aocept this English bill as a finality. Senator Brown will not allow Mr Buchanan to remove from offioo a Southern, Democrat who does not agree with every branch* of the Administration potioy. Sonator Brown and Jefferson Divis, and Pierre Soule and John Slidell, and the other men of tho South, have their peculiar views on some governmental questions ; and when the Adminis tration Supports a different position, they do sot hesitate to oppose. One branch of the Southern Demooraoy is in favor of General Walker, in favor of filibustering; the Administration .at Washington is against -General Walker and against filibustering; but do you ever bear of the Administration oalllog Southern men to nooount for opposing any portion of its potioy ? Nevor— nover! Mr. Ketit may rise in the House of Representatives, and denounce the President as a dotard; Governor Brown, in addressing tbo people of Mississippi, may characterize tho Presi dent os weak in the baok ; but if I, an humble, un official citizen—a Democrat from my boyhood, and a Demoorat now—choose to come forward to plead for tho great right of tho people, ohonge to ask per mission to differ with tho President, I must be, not only turned out of tbo Doinooraiio partv, but de nounced as unworthy of respect and oonfidenco; I Am hunted down by tho hireling hounds of this Administration, sent oven into my very household —an Administration headed by the man to whom I have given the best years of ray life, for whom I have expended whatever little moans (muoh they were to me) I may have had; and the newspaper which I publish is proscribed, as though every sheet wero infeotod with pestilence and poison! [Loud applause ] Do you tell me that when I come forward to protest against these proceedings, when I endeavor to do my duty as a mau and as a oitizon, I and thoso who aot with me will not be sustained? I will not believe it. And bore I desire to appeal to my old friond, Senator Browns to fefleot for a moment upon the manifest injustice of using the strong arm of tho Federal Power to crush out an honest political sentiment, in tho manner in which bo assures us Mr. Buchanan has promised to employ it. His section of tho Union has ever been a devoted champion ef State Rights. How does the policy of Presidential dictation correspond with State- RighU doctrines? The day may come when an Executive who is hostile to tho South, and aa ready to wield tho patronago and money of the Govern ment against that section of the Union as the pre sent Presidents to wield It against the North, will bo elected. Does Mr. Brown think it wise and just to endorse, and urge now a tyrannical system of wielding that power, whioh might in the future tell with ternblo eficot against that portion of the Union to whioh he is so devotedly attached ? May I not nßk him to “ pause and refleot ?” Washington Irving, that enohanting Amerioan writer! tella us, in one of his fictions, of an old resident among the Catskill mountains who went to sleop and slumbered for many long years. He olosod his oyes during the reign of George tho ThiTd, and opened them in tho roign of Georgo the Fourth. Awakened from his protracted slum ber. ho passed along the streots of his native vil lage, exciting, by his strange appearance, the wendor of all observers. Presently, on one of tho signs ho notloed a painting representing a strange figure in, a blue coat and a buff vest. Turning round to tho boys who would baturally follow bo strange a ohoraoter, ho afked, “ Who is that man in the bluocoat and buff rest?” "Why,” was tho answer, “that is General Washington, the savior of his oountry.” “And who is he?” was the next inquiry. They told him that while he had slept, the great Revolution had taken plaoo ; tho people of the United States had overcome their oppressors; the great prinoiple of popular sover eignty had prevailed ; the* colonists, the caked colonists, like tho little band in Kansas, had freed themsiilveafrom tho rule of tyranny ; and General Washington was the President of the United States. And the old man faltered oat some words of gratitude, that he had been permitted to live to see his country roscued from foreign foes. -Bppose that, by some providential interposition, that tomb at Montioollo should open its marble jaws, and the Father of Democracy should emerge into the bustling soones of lifo; suppose ho should go to the White House and see with what despotio sway that power is used which his hand onoo di rected ; suppose ho 'should see the army of the United States cinployed-against our own oitisens for the purpose of forcing them to give up the sa ored principle of popular sovereignty—the power of the Federal Government and the money of the peopto expended to ornsh the great doctrine upon wbieh our Ropublio rests; seeing all this, would not the sage of Montioello exolaim, “ Who is this that .presides over my country ? Is this a Prince ? Is this a lineal descendant of the corrupt House of Hanover ? Wo toiled in the Revolution for liber ty, but this man is enforcing despotism. Who is this man that is striving to crush the groat doctrine for whioh I contended through all my lifo ?” [Great applauso J Gentlemen, you have in your midst one of the oourtiers of the “Prince President”—one of the adherents of him who dafes to assume to make his rule greater than yours; and that man is Owon Jones. [Applause.] He is olothed with all tho sanotlty—as ho may call it—of a regular nomina tion. The foot is. leaving tho sublime, and ap proaching the ridioulous, it seems to me rather Sold in Owen Jones to sot himself forth as a states man or a Domoorat. Why, not many years when leaving Lancaster, I wont to Philadelphia, to advooate the oause of Mr. Buohanan—to con duet the old Democratic paper In Philadelphia—l never heard of him. I have not the slightest doubt if he had not been the rich man that he is, he would have subsided in.his own township. But now, not oontent with havlngyiolated the princi ple without whioh ho would have subsided there, he comes forward to abußd and denounoe aXL VAp happon to adhoro to that whioh ho hAS doseadetL Not^content with' having dono wrong, he abuses all who will not say that he did right!. [Laughter and applause.] A man like Owen Jones should, oh bis knees, hog for pardon; instead of whioh, he comes before you and lords it ; he holds the high hand over you; he tells you that his course was right, when, in his own heart, be knows that it was wrong, and if you do not deolare it right, you are, forsooth, outside the Democratic party! But Owen .Tones fails in every requirement of statesmanship; he fails not only in reference to the great principle of popular sovereignty, but in reference to the great'qaestion Of the tariff. Thinking, the other aay, upon this subject of the tanff X could not but exclaim within myself. How strange a circumstance it is that we of the North, no matter what our party; are always tied down to the strlot letter of our platforms! Take, for in stanoe-the subject of rivers and harbors 4 . Michi gan, Wisconsin, Indiana—all the great'lake titatos—ore interested ,in the river and har bor bills. ~Tbe Demooratio party of the South are jnstas.muoh opposed to appropriations for rivers and harbors as they are to the tariff. 1 Yet Mr Tnimbull, Genoral Cass, Mr.' Chandler, Mr George W. Jones, Governor of all parties from those Stites interested in the improvement of rivers end barbots—com'e to Congress and de mand appropriations for that purpose. The South mattes violent opposition; but an appropriation is generally made—sometimes more, sometimes less, bat always something. And!when the men of the South wish to have a river and harbor bill passed—as in the case of the appropriation for clearing out the harbor at Wilmington, N. C.— they always snooeed iu finding something iu the Constitution'to justify it. When old Virginia oomes' forward (as she constantly does) to ask ap propriations for the Ripraps, for! Old Point Com fort, eto., her fifteen Representatives' ‘stand In solid oolumn, and they usually carry everything bofore them. The fire-eaters of jthe South make some opposition, but they generally yield. Willi® iP. Harris, of Mississippi,oncesaid, “lalwavsfind great difficulty in cootending against iny friends from .Virginia, for every one of their men, When we get up to raise an objection to the particular bill which he wishes to have passed, puts his hand into his pooket and fires off the resolutions of 1798 like a pocket' pistol,” [Great’ laughter.] “and that always finishes me. ” [Roars of laughter.] Thus these various States obtainj what they seve rally desire; for them, "every part' of the platform readily yields. But what are"they willing to do for Pennsylvania—this glorious old State of ours— which. has ,beon the Cinderella Jof the Republic from the time when she fought through- the bat tles of the Revolution ? Here, on ]this consecrated soil, tho great principle of popular sovereignty was asserted; hero, fellow-countrymen, your rights and mine wore contended for; here we hurled back the legions' of the British army * here thO/Oapital of our oountry would have been, but for an, accident which Is historically infa mous; From this sacred spot, I ask, what do they do for us? ' When Pennsylvania ctomos forward— elad, as she generally is, in saokoloth and ashes— urging her olaims, demanding that Government shall foster that material wealth which might ena- ‘ Me her to feed and to fight the world—how are her petitions received? She is waved back; her olaims are pushed aside.. The ory is raised, “ You are violating'Demooratio principles; you ar£ out side of tho Demooratio party; you are demanding speoial privileges; you are asking {that whioh you have no right to'&ak.” Thus we are pushed book from time to time, until it really seems as though we had become the tender of somej New York or O.bio looemotive, to feed the engine, and tb have nothing to do with the enterprise. [[Laughter and applause.] \ I, for one, propose—and I harelno doubt that the Demooratio party will oqmo to it—that we shall-be in this situation no longer. And, as the first step, you should put your mark upon Owes Jones, as one of the men. who have contrived to impede tho course of Ponnsylvanlajin her progress to empire, to prosperity, ana to praninenoe. Speaking as an independent man, only myself being responsible forjwbat I say, I confess toyod that I am ashamed of the’general oharaoterof those who are'placed before us for our suffrage?. There are exceptions—honorable exceptions; and 4 in this connection allow me to nay ; the tribute whioh I feel in my heart to be (due to my old. friend Goorgo W. Hamersly, the candidate for As sembly in this distriot. j When the election of next Tuesday shall have passed by, the great prlucipie’that will unite tho peoplo of this country will be the principle that the people in tho Territories, as thp people in-the States, shall regulate their own (institutions in their own way.' The day for Abolitionism has gone by forever. , What made the Republioan party but the repeal of the Missouri Compromise? But for that repeal (and I was ‘in favor of It) there would have been no Republican party. The men that joined the Republican party [were not Abo litionists. Now,' when there is a great, principle ascertained upon whioh wo can all stand, you will find the people of the United, States taking a com mon platform North and South. ■ Those.wno best-: tato, those who doubt, will ho left behind. Wl?at, I ask, then, is < that Pennsylvania,jon the 12th of, October, should do her whole duty in regard to the’ two great principles whioh I have named.: As for myself, I would say—talking as onej of many, and talking formany—that, in the great State where I was boxm„ jvhere my forefathera. nave lived and died—l intefid tdmakemy faarkCfcmP ennOTlyinla. 4 men of the South are Democrats! hr - Whigs, or Americans, as suits their polloy. Mr. Calhoun was a higb-protcotive-tariff man to long p It suited his polioy; he beoamo a free-trade man When he found that it was necessary to advance the Interests of his State. ’Lot us act in the same manner. Let ns remember that; if wo bo true to ourselves and true to our State,,we eanuot fail to win. [Great ap plause.] j In regard to the question which Is, with you, more immediately involved in this qonteafc, I have a few more words to say. Does net Owen Jones know (X am now speaking to those j»f the Demo cratic party who are here present) that be is the representative of tho war of this Administration upon Stephen A. Douglas? The Lecompton men of this State, those who tell me that in opposing them I am combining with the Republicans—do they not know that every stop they take is a step taken against Stephen A Douglas? ) I trust that tho 12th' of October wall show that : tho confidence reposed in the peoplojhas not been misplaced. If it should happen that, by means of bribery and corruption, the Administration should bo able to purchase a viotory in Ap parent triumph should be ■ won-j-I shall then feel that the day has gone by when a great principle oan be vindioated, ap'd that it is useless to trust in the intelligence of the people; for, if ever there was; a. principle whioh dorerred to he sustained —one whioh con cerned the people in their hearts [and in their hearths—it is this great principle oft popular sove reignty. If you reject it, if you send to Congress, with your endorsement, the men who have desert ed it, then clamor no more about Southern aggres sion, talk no more about the rule of [the minority in Kansas, protest no jnore against free-trade; for you will then bo bound to swallow hny dose that power may proffer. Believe me, as Breaking for those who, in this oonteBt,’ nre disinterested. I have no doubt that if I should go to Mr. Bucha nan, crawling on bended knee, and] offer my ho mage to bis infamous Kansas polioy, the marble doors of the Presidential palace would swing open to mo. Therefore, believe that we are fighting a battle whioh we intend to fight eut.- But do not discourage us; do not do as those wtyo are fighting against usexpeot .von to do. 1 In the most beautiful of all Scott's novels {The Talisman ) we read of a Scottish knight, Sir Kenneth, into whose bends Richard of the Lion Heart entrusted the bbnner of Sc Goorgo. The warring factions ip the camp, after a long struggle, had conceded to Richard oommand of the forces: yet so great were the’ envy and jealousy prevailing In tbb oamp, that ‘distrusting Austria and Franco, he confided to this gallant Scotchman, Sir Kenneth, the guardian ship of the great bannor of St. (George. He oharged him, “ Guard it by day, and guard it by night; never desert your post, for yqur life is the penalty of desertion.’' Sir Kenneth teok tho banner; it was planted on a neighboring hill. In the middle of tho watch, a beautiful woman in tbe adjacent camp, belonging to ,the court of Rioharu, sent him a jewelled ring, ,and by many persuasions attracted him from his post. When he returned, he found the banner gene, and his favorite dog bleeding his life out at the foot of tho flag-taff. # _ Now, let mo make tho application. \ When James Baohnnan was nominated, in 1858, eyery Democrat was made a Sir Kenneth tho Soot; ,to every De mocrat was entrusted tho banner of popular so vereignty. Many who started with Jus have fled; power and pltwderhave thinned our ranks; yet some still remain true. Our flag has not yet been deserted; our banner has not yet out down. It still floats; it will float; and, (mark the pro phecy !) no matter who may be the leader, that banner, by wbomsover borne, will marshal a con quering peoplo to triumphant victory.

A coasting steamboat put into that port, and the c&pt&in being taken sick, took room! at one of the hotels. The landlord, it seems, had an interesting daughter, who, from sympathy, woman like, took an interest in the captain; and bly administered to his wants in his distress among strangers. The gallant oaptalu was not callous to suoh divine attribute. Sympathy ri poned into friendship, friendship into love, and, as above stated, on Wednesday evening, while the parents of the fair Samaritan were in olissful Ig norance of what was about to take place, they were married, after an acquaintance or but a few days. A “ native” who h*d long wooed the fair maiden in vain, hearing of tho good fortuoe of his rival, got gloriously koto com* you s 6; broke all the glasses in the bar-room of the hotel, tore op things generally, and it was feared would commit suicide.

In attempting to brine Williams on shore he jumped overboard, but was secured, though not without difficulty from powerful resistance. Outrageous Assault bt Ruffians upon an Old Ladt.— On Monday night a gang of young ruffians entored the house or Mrs Crossin. an aged lady, residing in New York, in pursuit of her son, against whom they held a grudge. The son was not at home, and the ruffians, disappoint ed at' net finding him, attacked his mother, knooktng her senseless by a blow upon the head, and thon stamping upon and beating her to suoh an extent that her recovery is considered very doubtful. The ruffians then fled, and efforts have sinoe been mado to ascertain who they were, ana to arrest them. Lost His Ear.—Mr. 0. B. Smith, of Mara thon county, Wisconsin, met with a ?^ B Bhlar wot dent.

The palliating reform* initiated by the Sultan are being resisted and, violated, so that the last hope of reoonoiliation be* tween the Mahommedans in Turkey and the Chris tian Powers they have insnlted by their barbarity may be considered as sundered forever, and the. challenge thus given by the former mnst Inevitably result in their own complete and precipitate de struction. This hatred whioh the Mosselman en tertains toward the European has been suppressed until the.-weak and deolining Power under whioh he lives has become totally inoapable of supply ing the rising oanldron, and accordingly the eaks sprnng in tho massacres of Jeddah and Jaffa have been but the opening of the foodgates of their pont-np wrath, whioh is nowooiing from every pore, and ready to break forth in greater violence in every oily where Christians are fonnd. The ef forts of the Sultan and tho Pasbas to produo* quiet, nstead of effecting that result, have so inflameff hsso fanatics against the .existing Government, that a piol haa been.formedfor dethroning the Sul tan nnd giving the sceptre to his‘ brother. We are even told that this plot is so well known that many ambassadors to Constantinople have given out that Europe will notreoogniso the title of tho Sul tan's brother in tbo event of a sncoesifU termina tion of the rebellion. ’At Alexandria it li reported that twenty thousand mpskets have been seeretod. in their mosques, to be uspd in a' general rising for the destruction of tho'&anks and Christian resi dents of the city. /Oar midionarles, on their way to Palestino, have in many bases preferred themselves under the proteotien of the guns of the men r of-war lying in the harbors, to risking the chanoos of safely reaching their destination.

Thrilling Instance 47 FaitA.—A clergyman in this city read a .letter.at one of the S&nsom street noonday prayer-meetings this week from a young man of his,acquaintance who waa on board the iU-'fated Austria') in whioh he detailed the last Interview between himself and fire Christian comrades who perished *th e wares. As soon as the destruction of the vessel was found la* evitable; these six young men took a positlon.be> tween the flames and the water,.with the under* standing that at the Jast moment they would unitedly,oontfgn themselves to'the latter. In the bare moment' thus allowed to contemplate their fate, their ’hope In Christ was confidently ex* pressed,, and'when to' fsoape the spreading fire their leapihcdame necessary, they fondly grasped each others hand, and with a parting “farewell,” and an expressed oonfidenoe that in “afew mo menta they would, mee.t in heaven, 11 they sprang Ipta the wa. writer, of, letter states that his Contemplatiobs'cf’a fatufceatate ripened Into ‘a joy in believing in' hia Savloursueh as he had-' never before experienced,) a vessel hove in sight for his release; so that just at the moment whea bis exhausted energies brought the open door of heaven more temptingly to view, he was made the subject of an earthly resoue. The reading of the letter referred to, elioited an ostbont of feeling all over the room. Fibxmeh’s Union Pkatsr Muting.—lt hat been resolvod by the Young Men’s Christian Asso ciation to hold a Union Firemen’s Prayer Meet ing at Jayne’s Ball, on Thursday evening, the Slit instant. For this purpose all the companies in the oity and vioinity have .been invited. That there may be as muoh order in the arrangements as pot sile, it,is desired that the several companies ex pecting to attend will signify It to the proper per son; also, the' number of their members, in order that places may be assigned them. The hope if entertained by the committee that this may be the greatest gathering of firemen ever held. This may even prove to be true with reipeot to *w<w lerty although, tons its numerical .magnitude really seems of small moment compared with the import ance of those who attend reaiialsg intelligently that the promise, “ there wiU Ibe in their midst, and that to bless,” is as well to units as to thou sands. Upon the whole, however, the meeting may well be regarded as extraordinary. A mass meeting of firemen in Philadelphia, for the solemn purpose of engaging in prayer to Almighty Qod for the salvation of their souls, and the souls of their.fellow-men,.may, If properly consummated, become a fruitful theme for good all over the world. GallowhiiiL Christian Union Mission.— The arrangements for this religious enterprise, of whioh. we gave notice a week ago, have! been so far com pleted that Saranak Hall, on the oorner of Eighth and Callowhlll streets—the building scoured fer Its nit—will be this (Saturday) evening ah eight o’olock, and the first Union prayer meeting, will he held there to-morrow (Sabbath) evening, commenting at seven o’olook.
