The Progress of Philadelphia
There is a quaint and deep meaning in the
COMMA names of Boum things which is not
ordinarily/felt. Time real estate is the con
,ventional•lerm Of landed property, and in
that expression its fall force is not
ganerall4aPprociated. Real implies true and
genuine as contradistinguished from false and
and- this- is, no doubt, the reason
that word hadbeen to mark the distinc
tion between the landed and the perishable dr
intangible wealth of-mankind. The term is
singularly appropriate - and suggestive. Wealth
assumes a thousand varied shaposibut none of
them are so free from danger and so certain of
'preiervationsis landed property. Merchandise
is from its nature necessarily perishable. The
financial schemes of one generation,' though
fortified by ail the balwarks of security that
Beni at the time they.'erlginate to be desira
ble or necessary, are the laughing-stock of "a
succeeding age. It is : painfully true that
"riches take to themselves wings and fly
away," and ,it is with many men more
difficult `to successfully: guard against the
loss of an estate than it' is to acquire one:
The annals of any great conimercial city
would furnish thousands, of marked Mastro,-
' tions of this truth. The best and most cer
tain safeguard against this strong tendency of
even the shrewdest and moat carefal business
men to lose their hard-earned fortunes is In
vestments in real estate. And this fact has
nearly always been recognised and anted upon
by those who have been permanently success'.
ful in the great race for fortune. Aspen, in
New York, Gramm. and Itinewsi in our city,
and McDonnell, the:millionaire of NeW Or
leans, owned vast quantities of real estate, at
the time their earthly careers were ended,
and a :very large portion of the fortunes they
accumulated were won, by their land • opera
lions, which thus not only preserved, but
greatlylneleased their" wealth: r Throughout
the World, nearly all of those who are now in
affluent circumstances, are so simply because
their ancestors or themselves obtained landed
property, at some period more or less remote,
when it was of comparatively little value, and
have retained it until It has become a source
of great revenue.
The proud aristocracy of 'England count
their incomes by millions of dollars because,
wig years 'ago, a filibustering King went to that
eland in very much the same way as Tabun
now proposes to go to Nicaragua; and as
Werarsa.worild, no dotibt, be willing to do if
he should succeed, the Conqueror gave large
grants of land to his followers, and that land;
then little more than a wilderness, has been
retained in the possession of their descendants
until it hiehecome as fertile , ana garden, and
yields, imperial incomes. But America has
been, of all tbe nations of the earth, the great
theatre
. of real-estate operations. Here mil
lions upon millions of acres of land has cost
its first owners but a more trifle, and is now
worth, thousands of millions of dollars. The
sites of whole cities have boon , bought and
sold for loss than the price to-day of any one
of tins of thousands of the bailding lots they
contain. Hundreds of thousands of men bavo
become 'wealthy almost without knowing it>
through no active exertion or ingenuity of
their own, but simply by the, rise in value of
the property of which they were the fortu-
nate possessors. We aro too apt to look for .
and to nook instances of such advances
in value beyond the bounds of ' our
own beautiful city, which, after all, has in the
past, and will in the !titan, in all probability,
present as many marked instances of the in
crease of the Value of real estate as any other
portion of the world. Wnwere surprised the
other day to hear, incidentally, that a build.
ing, but a abort distance from our publication
office, which now yields an annual rent of
about $B,OOO, was rented for years by a gen
tleman now living, and not very.old, for $250
per annum; of another property, in Walnut
street, which was bought, not a great many
Years ago, for $4,500, and now rents for a
great deal more than that sum; of a piece of
land in the outs'kirt's of the city, which was
bought less than thirty years ago for about
$lB,OOO, which is now worth half a million of
dollars. Hundreds of similar cases aro known
to almMit every old Philadelphian. But we
hear little or nothing of them in -the news
papers. , There is More said, even in our own
Journals, of the growth of Cincinnati or Chi
cago, or New York, or St. Louis, than of our
- own city. We happened casually to -look at
the census of 1880 the other day, and found
the population of Philadedind.: county at that
It is now_mori..iaon
600,006.- It has more than trlpintfin had than
thirty 'years. If it should advance in tho
same ratio during the next thirty years, it
would then amount Co two millions of souls.
The present prosperity of our city rests upon a
far more stable and secure foundation than any
other American city. Its natural position is
more eligible and its advantages more valuable
and Permanent than those of any other city.
Its manufacturing pre-eminence is establish
ed upon a basis that can never be shaken, and
its'superior advantages for commercial inter
coUrse with the great West and with the South
are of incalculable value. The man who has
the means to invest in real estate in this city
and who Can afford to await future events can
nowhere find a better speculation than buying
Philadelphia city property at its present rates.
The furore for Western speculation has de
clined. The days for, twenty and twenty-five
per cent, interest on money have passed, and it .
Will be some years before they can return.
Good 'mortgages at six per cont. aro in
demand, and' are readily purchased at par.
We learn that in other cities many of those
who went to distant points "cc after wool, and
returned home shorn,'' aro gathering in what
ever they can realise ,of their fortunes, and
investing it in real estate, where their pro
perty can be under their own eyes, and whore
they can always personally superintend it.
The late construction of Passenger Railways
has so important and beneficial an effect upon
,the property in -the - outer districts of the city
that at any ordinary time it would give rise to
a very active movement in real estate. And
severe oath° panic of 1857 was, the revival of
business sure to speedily occur, the abun
dance of money, and the craving for invest
ments which
_already exists, cannot ' fail to
lead, at a very early day, to many extensive
real-estate operations. , Those who aro most
familiar with such suLbjecti aro already no
ticing this tendency, and are preparing to reap
advantages from it in the future.
That portion of the newspaper press which
rejoices over the triumph of Senator SOuorAs,
and yet condemns the manner in which he
conducted his campaign, and especially his
position to the Administration of the General
Goveinment, pays no compliment to the great
statesman himself. Nor will Its half-hearted
course relieve it fl.om the censure of the'
President. • Ono of these oommentators states
the positton'of the class when jt says:- (i We
disapprove of tho personal position assumed
by him [Judge Donor : mg in his late canvass',
and haye no hesitationin cipressing our con
demnation, of the manner in which that
canvass was 'conducted." Now, ' we have
no :hesitation" in saying that "his personal
position," and'" the manner in which the
canvass was conducted," did more to help
him through than 'anything else. What was
"his personal position?" That of a bravo
man assailed by a corrupt Administration for
standing by a sacred principle. And how was
"the canvass conducted 1" With more abi
lity, copsistency, and vigor—with more good
results to the mils of truth—and with more
thoroughness, than any campaign in the his—
tory of polities. His " position " was iden
tical, and indissolubly interwoven, with the
giant principle for which he fought, and he
" conducted the campaign" by the polar star
of this principle. It was his 4( personal posi
tion," and themanner in which he "conducted
the campaign," that won for him the hearts of
the People. It was this that gave him the
triumph. It is, then, a most questionable tri
bute to his integrity and to his ability—to his
course and, to his services—to, exclude these
consideratiensin an article rejoicing over his
success. Had that' sort of help been ex
tended to , him before his election, it would
have been the best aid and comfort to his ene
mies. Indeed, the Washington Union said
nearly as much when it was most violently as
sailing him. To indulge in this kind of com
mendation, after he has won the race, will
neither rescue those who resort to it from the
contempt of the Administration, which they
thus try to deceive, nor from the ridicule of
those whom, after having opposed, they seek,
in the hour of success, to conciliate.

THE PRESS.-PHILADELPHIA, MAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1858.
Democracy in England,
The mall steamer Aria, from LiverpOol on
the 80th ult., and at New York yesterday,
brings .three days later news., The money
market was, easy from the abundance of mo
ney. _ This, however, cannot be said to indi

are few outlets for the profitable employMent
of espital, or that the business which requires

higher :Than when Lprd PALMEASTON qUittea
office in the Spring. All the markets—cotton,.
provision, produce, , and grain—show declining
prices. ,
, Two subjects agitated the 'public mind; In
England; when 'the dltta sailed. These are
Mr. Sinaloa programme of Parliamentary
Reform, and a rumor (probably Originating
with the threatened visit of au Irish• Amer
ican regiment to Ireland) that a new secret
Society, for • seditious purposes, supposed to
derive, inspiration and funds from the United
States, was rapidly spreading over Ireland;
one principle of the new organization being a
resolution among the members not to commu
nicate their plans to the priests. We discuss
this' matter first.
' It is unlikely that now in Ireland, after some
years of improvement, which has greatly aug
mented its prosperity and developed its re=
Sources, any Secret Society of the charatar
mentioned should start up. The changes
whiCh have taken place in e Ireland, since the
Encumbered Estates . ' Act of 1849 began the,
good work of substituting a real fora pauper
race of laridlorde, have been of immense bone
fit to that Country. Wo ask not whether it'he
the result of policy or fear, or of a mixture of
both, but the British Government, during the
last five years, has shown an evident desire to
act fairer by Ireland than any preceding British
Government ever did act before. ' 'We maybe
pardoned, under this belief, for .doubting the
truth of the rumor alluded to. It when , l
the Irish are badly off that they feel dispoSed
to organize Ribbon Lodges. Neither can, O'
help feeling very skeptical 'as to the sedition
Societies receiving any peenriiary aid froth
this country.
Mr. JOHN BRIM; 'member of Pallet*
for the groat todtti of Birmingham, is a Man Of
considerable mark and note. In conj nation
with Mr. COBDEN, who has not a seat in', tha
present Parliament, Mr. BRIGHT was one of
the heads of what used to be called the lon
cheater school of liberal politics. In issl,
however, in companionship with several other
liberalmembers, Mr. BRIGHT beat Lord l'Art,
SCHRUM in the House of Commons, by 'car
rying a vote (virtually a vote of censure, on
the Ministry) that the war with China was un
justifiable and uncalled for. In the General
Election which followed, .Mr. Bazaar was
defeated in his attempt to be re-elected for
Manchester, whore ho was polite:tally well
known, and which be had represented for ten
years. Many of his friends bad the same bad
luck, in other places. This was in Aprl, - 1857,•
but. In the following August, on the death of
Mr. Munn, the bearded M. P. for Birmingham
the electors unanimously returned Arr.BazauT,
to Parliamentinot only without any solicita
tion, and In his absence, but simply because
of the general—we might say national opinion
that he was an honest, able, independent Poll=
tician. Since then, and especially since the
accession of the Derby•Disraelites to office,
Mr. Baum z has been quite a power in the
House of Comnons, where his bold position, ,
enlarged views, and convincing eloquence 'are'
highly appreciated. This man is more than a
politician—be is a statesman.
' Pledged to bring in, during the ensuing ses
sion, a full measure for extending and reform
ing the Parliamentary representation of Great
Britain, the present Ministry have been busily
employed in constructing such a bill. During
the recess, such of them as have spoken in
public have evaded touching upon this ques
tion. Mr. Domani; resolied not to 'be
tempted out of his taciturnity, avoided his
accustomed attendance at the agricultural
meeting of Bucks—the county he represents.
There was an idea that Mr. Bazaar, who is
very intimate with Lord STANLEY, would favor
the Ministerial project, and that Its leading
points bad been submitted to Mn. The
speech whichhe has made, at a public meeting
of his constituents at Birmingham, on the 27th
October, occupied two hours iddelivery, and
nearly five colonies ofamalt, 2 : l / 4 r• - '"l'
le composition. Mr.
Damn never prepares his speechoti--that ,
as to the ipsaissirita rocrba—but, like most
other orators who have duo regard' for them
selves as well as their auditors, he had care
folly thought over the subject matter before
ho threw his thoughts into expression by
moans of language.
The novelty of this harangue, which may
more'properly be described as an exposition
of statesman-like views, is its extreme Demo
cracy: He handled the House of Lords'
"without gloves," nor is he very complimen
tary to the other branch of the Legislature,
which, beplainly said, is wrongly called, as it
does nor represent the Commons of England,
two-thirds of their members holding their seats
by family connexion and aristocratic influence.
He laid to this cause the iniquity of class-legis
lation, whereby the burden of taxation is taken
off the shoulders of the titled and the rich, and
put upon those of the industrious and the
poor. ' He contends for good laws, honest ad
ministration, and an adjustment of the burden
of taxation in proportion to the ability to
bear it.
Parliamentary Reform, so effective as to bo
a reality and not a sham, is what Mr. BRIGHT
earnestly and strongly goes in for. no would
have Vote by Ballot, the number of members
of Parliament apportioned to the population,
in filet, the United States' system, with such
checks as will prevent the. errors in practice
Which every election exhibits more or lees
with us. One passage in this speech we shall
bore quote:
I must warn you against one phrase width I
And our friends—we cannot now call any of them
our opponents—the bewildered Reformers are be

know only one institution in America of whieli the
Amerloans need to be very greatly-ashamed—and
that institution was established under the mon
aroh,y, although, unfortunately, it has lived and
flourished under the Republic. They tell us that
in America numbers overwhelm property and edu
cation. Well, but numbers have not overwhelmed
property and education in England; and yet look
at legislation in England. Look at our ware, look at
our debt, look at our taxes, look at this great fee—
dlot every improvement for the last forty years has
been an Improvement.whieh numbers, and numbers
only, btive wrested from the property, and -what
they call the education of the country. [Oheera ]
Our education is fairly represented by our Uni
versities; but I say now, as I have said before,
that it the Legislature of Eisend, if the Parlia
ment of England, had bean guided for thirty years
peat according to the counsels of' the representa
tives of the Universities, England instead of being
a country of law and of order, would have been
long before this a country of anarchy and of revo
lution. [Ohsers.] America is a etrangelbugboar.
There are thirty-two at least; if not - thirty-three,
independent and sovereign States In the United
States of America. Now, I am not one of them
who believe that you cannot be free and happy
under a monarchy such as ours. lam not propos

futures,' and literature from every country in the
world, why should we not, if we see anything good
in the politica of another country, be equally at lib
erty to take a lemon in that resent also? [Hear,
hear.] Speaking, generally, in all the sovereign
and independent States of Amerioa, there is a
franchise as wide as that which I have proposed
to-night; there is an exaot equal allotment of
members to the etcetera, and thorn is throughout
most of the States the protection of the ballot.
Yet, in America, we And law, order, property
scours, and a pepulation in the enjoyment of
physioal comforts and abundance, such as are not
known to the groat body of the people in this coun

country in any age of the world before. [Hear,

presence'of this audience that the English nation

tion in America? Are we leas eduoated, are we
less Industrious, are we lees moral, are yre less
itubject to the law, are we lees disposed, to inbuilt

If we are so, and if the'Engliah nation in America ,
excels ns in all these particulars, doesit not look
very likely that tho institutions in England aro
not asgood in the training and rearing of a nation
as the institutions of the United States? Ido not
say that, but those persons who say that the fran

rate 'so well in America, would bo perilous In
England, do what I will not do—they.libel the
people of this country, and they libel our iristitu
dons. [Olteers.]"
Writing at a later hour, withonthaving time
or opportunity carefully to examine
,Mr.
Barony's pro-American Manifesto, we are
compelled to defer the contrast which it sug
gests between the .oOnalitutional Government
and Representation of England at home and i
"England in America, ,, as he calls it. The

eorge W. Curtis at Concert Hall last
Eventing•
Concert Hall, last evening, presented,a brilliant
Sena. Several minutee.beforo the appointed hour
'hid arrived for Mr, Curtis to commence his lee
tire, every seat in the horse, including the galls'
Os and the platform, was occupied by, as flatter
bg an audience as ever graced that beautiful edi
fie. • It would really.seeM as if the announce
tient of a lactate to be delivered under the auspl
ct of the People'aliterary Institute, was, under
d ay ; clarteurmalelt tele: rbnjust i c e equivalent t t o o a crowdedthe ta l ent house;tey
ally employ, to say that the popularity of the
oboes in the making up , of its literary pro
ghmmes for the Simon. We have here, at once,
to cause and the effect.
Mr. Curtis appeared npon the platform greeted
tttth applause; which was repeated at intervals
drring thedelivery of his lecture
The old political philosophy, according to which
Lipman society was still arranged,-constituted his
opening theme, and although rather dreamy for a
,popular audience, served, as he progressed, to
sharpen the appetitenf hie hearers for a rare feast.
The best 'intermits 'of eooletY, 'it was, said, de
pended upon a true idea of 'dirmcaraoy; and that,
lofts turn; upon popular education--" Democracy
:Ind Education" being the subject of his discourse.
Mr. Curtis here threw in la flourish of rhetoric,
involving a rapid glance at the germ of demo
army manifested in all agtss and in all parts of the
world.
By democracy he meant, a universal equality.
Not absolute , as such, bat in lid application to hu
man rights. Absolute equality wail an ideal of
damooraoy, he knew, but the video of just experi
'ince. showed it to be visionary ' That right
and virtue should always receive its due allotments
in governmental eoooomy, ho admitted; but from
defeats which it is impossible entirely to eradicate,
this would never be in atria accordance with our
experience.
The good, 'twee true, were Giulia peculiar care;
Bat who but God should tell us who the," were 1"
The voice of the people should not be impeded
to ascertain the right, or , even what majorities be
lieve to be right; rather they showed what was
deemed under certain eircumatanees to be most
politic. In proof of this position, he would ask
whether, if the law which Herod made compelling
the destruction of the first-born of Judea had been
-enacted by the whole people instead of One man, ft
would, therefore, have been right 7 '
Ideally, said ho, democracy was the golden
rule: lie wished it understood, of course, that
'rather
he used this term, it was in its philosophical,
rather than in its partisan sense; for, as mode-.
toil with the latter, ho knew the gold, was often
sadly alloyed With dross. The practical denial of
political rights to any individual, in any instance
in which there was not anindispatably good reason
for doing so, was enforcing the veriest despotism
imaginable. •
Through a succession- of ages the fires of demo
cracy had been gradually spreading until, toward
the close of the hurt century, that I dea found the
-most perfect development the world bad ever seen
in the formation of the American Republic,
His subsequent description of the inception, in
this country, of the sublime idea of "life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happinesa," and the parts played
in that noble act by a Jefferson, Adams, Franklin,
Jay, Hamilton, and others, constituted a brilliant
flash in the evening's lecture, and evoked un
bounded applause. -
From the religious, it was said, sprang the yearn
ing desire for the universal establishment of civil
liberty.
Ho knew that his subject was not a new one for
American contemplation; but he felt constrained
to lay a special stress upon the great fact that this
happy Government was based upon the rights of
man, and as• such was a subject ever worthy of
our meditation. •
At this point the lecturer grew poetic, meta
physio, patriotic, and occasionally prosaic, by torus.
• The chard, as ho progressed, also came in for
sundry sharp criticisms upon its sectarian 'neon
oriatenoles. Men generally, said he, were them•
selves the interpreters of their Bibles, and woe to
that passage of Scripture which did not prove to a
nicety the actions of every assooiation,overy class%
every synod, or every Friends' meeting, to be in
the strictest accordance with sound dontrino ! '
—As mere Wien storm religion, so there -w.e
mush sham democracy.' We fat:iled that we had
already perfected what in feet was not yet out of
its swaddling clothes. It was not well to fire our
arrival guns before the anchor was oast. - Bemuse
a bottle of older chanced to bubble and froth at
being uncorked, it was not therefore champagne.
The popular usages of society were here viewed
at once in the light of Christianity, polities, and
civil liberty, in the course of which the lecturer
was racy and facetious by turns in ridiculing our
national weaknesses. Much truth there was, too,
in some of his criticisms.
His home-thrust at our national pride—charac
terizing, by humorous illustration, America as too
prono to take off Its hat and bow to itself—created
much merriment, and showed how very willing
our people are to confess their faults.
The triumph of national liberty depended
wholly, ho thought, upon the development of a
national morality, and this morality in turn do•
pended upon the closest national care and watch
fulness. In view of this our Government needed
as muoh watching as an orchard required to keep
it from the invasion of destructive reptiles. Our
Government, goOd as it was, was not born with a
°barna around her neck, and it was therefore the
duty of every good citizen to seek to enhance that
morality upon which it can alone flourish, and this
could only be accomplished through a proper edu
cation. ' By education he did not mean the mere
delving into the deeps of knowledge, and whioh
shouted. 'Oran! over the discovery of the last
species of beetle, or the ascertaining of the exact
time when the last mastodon expired.
Tho farmer was not an eduonted man, because
he know'the qualities of his soil and what it need
ed to make' it most produotive; or because he
knew exactly how and where to sprinkle a few
&mhos of guano, and set his ground to sneezing
cabbages and potatoes all round. No ; but when
he learned to feel as be sowed the seed, that be
was not only sowing that which would reproduce
its kind, but that his labor would result, far off in
the distant future, it may be in, noble deeds, In
spiring thoughts, holy note, and words that burn,
in the nourishment of beings that live by eating;
then it was that the farmor might be said to be
educated.
'en it was that ho was elevated in that mo
rality, without which education deserved not the
name. It was to bo borne In mind, that between
public and private morality there could be no dis
tinction.
Kossuth had said that ho had lived to see
the day when bayonets thought; and, said the
teatime; he might have added that bayonots
aro never good for anything until they do think;
that is to say, until their use is prompted by a
thought to direst their permanent utility. Anaxa
goras had said that man's band distinguished bim
from. and made him superior to, tho lower ani
mals' yet that hand, without thought to direct it,
dwinGed down to a mere animal apponiage.
The pig, for instance, used his snout to root the
ground ; man, on the other hand, dug it with his
hand they were then both used for the same
object, and without thought to elevate, ono oould
claim no superiority over the other ; but put
thought behind that hand, and it develops into
impleMents of ingenuity, the steam engine, the
cotton ten, and a thousand other instruments of
labor-saving power.
Ills hal thought was a worthy conclusion of
tine of the most eloquent and polished lectures of
the present Banton.- Said ho, the spirit of liberty
gradually uzafitlding into light, who can doubt that
at is the will of God gradually malting the world
his own!
The usually- sleepy manner of Mr. Curtis was,
in his sueoessful Wert last evening, greatly im
proved upon, and even. in moro than one Waterloo,
supplanted by a deoent show of animation. In
this respect, we are happy to bear witness, it . was
a very deoided improvement on his " Algernon
Sydney, cr the Gentleman," of last mason.
The foiowing orders have just been issued by
General Gtott, from the headquarters of the army :

" I have examined the cases of Sergeant Stew

tion Is brought by the general commanding the

"It appears that they were tried and convicted
by garrison ocarts-martial' on a charge of "die
obedience of orders ;" and that execution of the
sentence confirmed .by the garrison commander
was Suspended by imolai order of the commander
of the department. in pursuance of a general order
from the. headqaertore of the army, May 8, 1852,
denying the juitelietion of a garriaoneourt of such

"The question is not clear upon the authority

his office,' it in a 'capital ease; and not triable by

order of the general-in-chief is mandatory to gar
rison commanders ' and does, in effect, forbid any
such commander tosend any snob case to a garrison

These proceedings, in violation of hie order, are

~
WASIIINGTON, November 11, 11358.-
- If this Central American business had not be
come an operation in the hand' of epeoulators, each
intent upon making money, the Government would
have had little or no trouble. General Walker
has been with us, manufacturing sympathy, as
urinal, and has got up a supply. The beet way to
get at this bad man's character is to get our naval
officers now in the Caribbean sea—not Commodore
Paulding, who, gallant as he is, may speak some
what from personal feeling—but those who have
succeeded him; and if the remit &Oil not make the
President ashamed of tolerating this man Walker
so near him, I will give up the argument. He has
been the canes of the .loss of more, innocent lives
than any other man of our day and time. He has
inflicted unheard-of injuries upon our countrymen
in Central America; and now ho is about to go
forth on a now expedition of rapine and Spoil.
Alternating 'in the hands of one speculator and
then of another, he goes with any ono who is ready
to nay him the most lam of opinion that no
thing will ever be 'done to effect a peaceful settle
ment of this question until the speculators are got
rid of and Walker is punisbed,,as he deserves to
be. The whole affair Is eminently disgraceful to
the country. , ,
The statement that Mr. Buchanan is ready to
make peace with Judge Douglas is false. He does
net intend it. I speak of what I know. An in
etanee in proof of this assertion may be cited :
Only a day or two before the election in Illinois
he removed from the poet office, at Jerseyville, in
that Btate,ildr..o. B. Jackson, well known in your
oily, where he has resided for years, and where be
is very respectably connected. Causel-his at
talbment to Dangles. -
What renders Mr. Buchanan more furlong, bow
ever, is the ciWftil manner in which he has been
deceived by Cook, Leib, and Carpenter, the men
to whom ' by advice of Cobb and . others, he has
confided in Illinois. The son of Senator Fitch, of
Indiana, was another of these worthies. lie was
the especial calumniator of yourself and others,
and his speeches, coarse as they were, were trans
ferred to Governor Cobb's own home organ, in
Georgia, the Athens Banner, and editorially
approved. A Georgian, now here, says the en
dorsement was sent from the Treaeury Depart
ment by Clayton himself. That these men, armed
with all the pawer of the Federal Government,
incited to labor from here, and written lob) , mem
bers of the Cabinet, and even by the President
himself, have not been able to poll more than
four thousand votes out of" 245,000, is the proof
alike of their own weakness and recklessness, and
of the wickedness of the policy of tho Administra
tion. It is this that galls the President.
The New York Journal of Comnierce, - Barnmore
Exchange, Providence Post, and others, are cut
ting loose from the Administration, and have
already come out for Douglas. While this makes
Mr. Buchanan very indignant=for all these papers
have adhered to him up to the moment of the 1111-'
nose election—it is erectly what he ought to have
expected. They did their very best to uphold him;
they even organized themselves against Douglas;
but, after all, they cannot resist the tide. They
give in reluctantly ; but when we reflect that they
were all the time quietly on our side, their decla
ration since the eleotion is not to be wondered at.

Public Entertainments.
ACADEMY or Music.---Madame Colson and Ma
dame de Withorst will appear this evening—the
latter its Amine in La Sonnambula, with Mignon
and Amodia—the former its . Marie in La Figlia
del Reggimento, with Berlin and Labocetta. Both
ladies have given satisfaction' in these respective
rides, and it is a good managerial idea thus to
make a double attraction on the one evening.
To-morrow, will be performed Norma, with Sig
nora Parodi in apart which she tills so well. Signor
Soda, a tenor quite new to this city, takes the part
of Pollione, and Madame Strakosoh will be the
Adeigisa. The desire again to hear Parodi is so un
equivecal that Mr. Strakosob at once consults pub
lie taste and his own interest by thus gratifying it.
Flotow's opera of Martha, to be sung in Italian,
(for the first time in this country,) on Monday
evening, with Madame Colson in a now oharaoter.
She will appear as Henrietta, and Brignoli as
Lyonel. This Opera has been well rehearsed. and
considerable cost gone into for new costumes and
other " aids and appliances."
Mess BATE MEWS CONCIIRT.—Tho programme
for this Concert, at Musical Fund Hall, is very
promising. The young beneficiare, who hails from
New York, Is favorably known and highly appre
ciated in this State, where much interest is felt in
her success. She will be assisted by Mr. W. H.
Cooke, tenor, from New York, and Mr. George T.
'Wins, pianist and composer. That astonishing
little ohild, "Little Ella," between three and
four years old, whose reading oreated a great sen
sation in Now York, will also appear. This is a
capital programme.
NATIONAL Ornons.—The attractions at this
house Increase. NeW-nerformers and now perfor
m..o.....te. prcsontid - nearlrovery - eventag.
The very great ability of Mr. Bartine we would
particularly notice. Monsieur and Madame de
Bach bare rarely been equalled. As for Miss
Sallie Sticknoy, who belongs to this locality, she
is undoubtedly "a stunner." The clowns are
lively, and at times even original.

One of the most Shasta and besutifal abases of gond*
in the entire collection is the large panel of engraved
