It is a !lanai more difficult task for a man In high station to write a letter which is to un dergo the process of printing, than fer one who is unknown or obscure. The words of a President or a GoVernor—of a Senator or a Cabinet Minister-should be weighed as cau tiously as lt miser weighs his gold. Every such word becomes, the moment it is uttered, a coin subject to, the test of general circula tion. i If it has the ring of the true metal, it is Current; if it is composed of base ma. tort : al, it is returned upon the maker as a dead loss and a detected counterfeit. Every man Cannot he an ADDISON' or a 'Jormsorr, we ad- Mit ; but, then, experience should teach com mon sense to these in elevated office ; and when such men speak through the press they shOuld not hesitate to take advice. We bad a lloodshfletteis pent upon :this' town from ashingthn, last January.

Such a (Thief 'Magistrate can appeal to the Almighty: with zest and with sincerity. Bat ivbile the 'President begins his letter with a prayer, he does not hesitate to attach to this prayer the following paragraph : "I shall assume the privilege of advancing years In referring to‘ another growing and dangerous evil.: In the last age, although our fathers, like ourselves, were divided into political parties which Often had severe tionfliots with each other, yet we never heard, until within a recant period, of the employment of , money to oarry.eleotions. Should this, preatise increase until the voters and their Representatives in the State and National Legisla tures shall beoome infested, the fountain of free government will then be poisoned at its source, and we must end, as history proves,. in a military despotism. A. Democratic Republic, all agree, cannot long survive unless sustained by public virtue. When this is corrupted, and the people became venal, thereli a oanker. at the root of the tree of liberty which must ounce it to wither and die." • ' Such is the comment upon the text Satire is not suited, to so ,pions a missive; and it is for this reason that we think our venerable President Should have passed the joke which he has herein 'perpetrated. It is like , the preacher who begins with a precept from the Gospel and ends with an Irish story. , Ntta , do not suppose that the PrOsident in tended to - make a- confession when he so di rictly denounced cc the employment of money to-'carr'y. elections , ' of tc which we have never heard until a recent Period!" llo'ine,ant to Win 'char/toter—he meant, rather , a sermon.

They are guiltless of this and all the resulting sins.' Who, then, is thosoffender ? You; have made the accuse . . tion.'' 'Name the man, or the mon who have dared to do all these things. What hideous treasonts this, that It should ,go,. unrebuked and- imavenged ? We. agree with you, Mr. HoonANAn, that ce Democratic Republic cannot long survive unless sustained by public virtue;"; and gy that when 'this is corrupted, *id' the' people become venal, ,there is a' canker at the red of the tree of liberty which innethause it to wither and to die: , Gratefhl as we are that we have so fearless a conserve 'tor at-. the ;heed this -Government—only temporarily at that—who tells us these grave things,WB,Sborild 'be' more grateful if the of. t feriderVr otendersiwere pointed out, that they Might: be punished as they deserve.- But It is possible that the-President did not know wlieretlie cause of this demoralization was to he found.

" .• Without saying whether this theory is right Or wrong, and without desiring to say whether it is the one or the other, we beg leave to cor rect Senator DAVIS : " and to say that the pas sage'vioted does not form a portion of the tfDred , Scott deciiion." We hive seen of late many passages from the voluminous and incidental remarks of the jitstices of the Su preme Court quoted as parts of the Drod Scott decision; The'Wendell-Lineoln organ, for its own purposes of, disruplion,, commenced the dodge. It was done clearly with the view to confound Democrats, who might not have the cc Decision" by them,'and who would not deem the Union so utterly lost to decency and truth as to misrepresent the record of the Supreme Court. Senator DAVIS has fallen into the trap, and we hasten to extricate him. The passage quoted by him shows, by its phraseology, that it is not a decision, but is open to argument. Judge Taney < 4 presumes" his view "will be admitted." We only refer to this presumption tttsbels!thatdt is nota decision which admits ,#5.11.001.i much misapprehension 'Atllieml*Adeliirthe subject, owing to mis. chieVititsq6urnalists,. that we deem it of im. portaticl4kitii!ite the it Decision of the Su preme Court," word for word, as delivered by Chief Justice Taney, and without reference to the side issues discussed, but not decided upon.. The,“ Decision" reads thus : Upon the whole, therefore, it is the judgment of this court, that it appears, by the record before us that the plaintiff in error is not a citizen of Missouri, In the sense in which that word is used in the Constitution, and that the Circuit Court of the United States, for that reason, had no jurisdip tion in the Case, and could give no judgment in it. Its judgment for the defendant must consequently be reversed, and a mandate issued,. directing the suits to be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. , Such ie the Dred.

He certainly deserves credit for keeping his promises to the public, and for never disappointing them. The opera to be performed on the present mission is Hie chef d'artura of Mozart, " Il Don Giovanni," which contains almost mere beauties of situation and melody than any opera extant. It has never been performed, even with an ordi nary oast in this otty, without drawing en enthu slastio andoverilOwing audience, To-night, Gar, zaniga, who seems the especial favorite Ge Phila. delpiga opera-goers, plays the rote of Donna Anna, a part which is admirably adapted to test her excellent capacities.

Bat His the calm that pre• cedes the storm. There will be crowds here early in the fray; for, as the session is to boahart, it will be a merry one. TIM ball will soon ,be opened, end many a lively dance will take plane in the people's parliament. The loaders of the amusement have already donned their uniform, and the orchestra has scratched its fiddles, and sounded its horns, and beat its drums. _Governor Ilammoradhas taken his plane ; Mr. Wise has no:tapioca his corner ; Jefferson Davis is awaiting partner or an tagonist with eagle eye ; Mr. Seward is .ready ; to call out any on:a who desires to liave atrial of skill; and Mr. Speaker Orr has announced his desire to take a part hi the hotillion. Senator Brown; of Mississippi, has been on hand for some months, and holds a card which enablea laim to tell all the par ties to the winter's amusement. Colonel Keitt, is up, and dressed, and "ready:',--A number of the gayest and meat active of the participants in the last and former Congresses are mute and waiting. Mr. ITunter, Mr. Toombs, Mr. Stephens, Mr. John- Cf Tennessee, Mr. Clay, of Alabama, Mr. Wit; son, of Massaohasetti, Mr. Shields, of Minnesota, Mr. Bayard, of Delaware, are as yet lookers-on Su Vienna, but as the fan grows fast and furious, they will doubtless break into the ring and take a band. Mr. Glancy Jones has been ruled_ out on account of constitutional piety, and Senator Bigler will not dance, he is so very weak in the knees. Judge Douglas has had his first trial in Illinois, and, having come out first and best, has gone to New Orleans to enjoy a little spring at the beginning of winter. " I wrote you, the other day, to the effect that a new Administration paper was to be established in Philadelphia, devoted to the dootrine that Con• gross should intervene for the protection of slavery in the Territories, if the Territories should fail to do that thing. Additional' information loads me to believe that each a scheme is on foot. The othor Concerns are to be wiped out. Mr. Collector Baker, Mr. Senator Bigler, and Mr. Robert Tyler aro mentioned as the engineers, A Southern man is to be procured to lend his name; but, as Sena tor Bigler wields a very prolillo pen, and as Mr. Tyler is known to be the pink of prudence as ft journalist,-it will no doubt be a very splendid affair. The Washington Union had an article, a few months ago, taking groind in favor of the doctrine that under - the decision of the Supreme Court in the Bred Scott case, slavery might be in troduced into the free States; and this is a pretty fair result from the now idea of Congressional intervention for the proteotion of slavery against the popular will. In the championship of such doctrine the new Bigler bugle will no doubt omit some of the sweetest and, most harmonioits melo dies. The brave Captain Marcy is now in Waehlegton. Ile has just undergone another lengthy service, and no doubt brings much valuable information. If over any man earned consideration at thohands pf the Admiaistration, it is Captain ?dam.

Governor Cumming Me written here stating that these important papers are wholly uninjured. A very late copy of the Deseret News, a Mor mon paper, (October 57,) has just been banded to me by a friend who came in the last train. It is very well printed and well conducted. The News is about twelve inches in length, to seven in breadth. There is not much news in its columns.

Thore some talk of erecting a groat fort in the valley, nt which there Is a good deal of complaint among the faithful. Strakosoh is here, preparing for a great jets on Thursday and Friday evenings in this city, with his whole troupe. , That a strong and resolute movement is making, against Mr. /3311911, the oolleoMr of New York, there is no doubt.

Tint HIBERNIA HOMEWARD BOUND—HER Reogerime—The arrival of the Hibernia from her journeylugs abroad created a great excitement In our city on Saturday night. Great waif the enthusiasm, great the cheering, and glorious over all were the drume, and the candles, and the thunder of artillery. Our city was alive, and the streets were as dense with pee pie as on a holiday. The Hibernia reached the city at 10 minutes to 9 o'clock, and was received by our tire men, who were drawn up in line, on Prankford road, fully equipped Immediately on the arrival of the train Philip S. White, Esq ; on behalf of some ladies of this city, made a Breech, presenting the company with a magnificent wreath. In the course of hie speech he alluded to the welcome rece.ved by the Hibernia abroad, and epoke of the pride he felt in being a fireman. Ile loved the motive, the glory, and the heroism; he vene rated the pride that to watchful to hear the first alarm, and eager to be the first to respond to it. It is inte racting, at all times, continued the speaker, to gee a noble spirit etruggling successfully with misfortune it is animating to gee a warrior entering a breach amid a shower of musketry and th,e thunders of artillery; but to see a gallant fireman In the fourth story of a burning building, enveloped In smoke and encircled In the lurid flames, seizing upon, enfolding to bie bosom, bearing safely to the ground, and placing in de distracted Mo. ther'e arms, the grumathed infant that she loves. Is a spectacle too sublime tor deeeription—too towering to place the actor In any other light than that of being "but a little lower than the angels." Speaking of the gift he was presenting, he said that Gs Composition spoke for Melt, and called upon them to cherish it, for next to an engel'a blessing was the suitable gift of a beautiful and virtuous woman. Colonel Page eloquently responded on behalf of the Hibernia, and, sifter referring ttithe courtesies received Witte Hibernia abroad, said they could never forget the many kindneeees of their brother firemen of sister cities, and the recollection of them would be cherished for a lifetime. He considered the reception which hid been given to the Hibernia by their brother firemen as the b,lghteet event of his life, an 4 conclu4e4 by an Ap propriate reference to the gif t was repairing. The epeephes were received with cheer after cheer, and the wreath was placed on the steamer. The Hiber nia then fell into line, and the procession moved at a quarter past nine o'clock, in the following order : Reserve officers, under Chief S ft Ruggles and Lieut.
