The mails by the steamers North Briton reached
this city last night, bringing ns London papers to
the sth instant. lier news we have already given,
by telegraph. In regard to tho San Juan affair,
the London - News of October 3d says:
"The Government of the United States shows
how much importance it attaches to the firm and
prudent management of the difficulties which ono
of its of curs has rain(' at Sault:an, by sending the
Let soldier of the Repnblio to the spot. General
Scott, who has before this superseded the impetus
one Barney, is a man whose reputation stands in
no need of theatrical coups. Ile is no sentimental
trifler, but has been trained; in the school of war
fare and in the responsibilities of high command,
to respect the great interests of eivilizition, and
look to the consequences of public acts.

may fairly indulge the reflection that nothing abort
of the folly of their leaders could have induced the

arrival we shall hoar no more of the ostentation of
throwing up earthworks,, and planting useless
cannon, end calling for volunteers. Pending his
arrival, General liarney.has received orders to be
mole circumspect in his - conduct, and the instruc

said, of the most conciliatory character."

Abe Administration vs. The Demo•
'A•good many honest people attached tolhe
Democratic party indulged the delightffildrearu,
that after the October election the officials, and
the self-constituted managers of the Adminis
tration in this quarter, would take especial '
'pains to conciliate the opinion they had out
raged, and to prepare for harmonious and vic
torious action; - We ; ourselves indicated a
hearty diapdsition'to co-opin•ato with any dis
interested movement of this character. Not,
indeed, that we supposed the President and
bis immediate advisers wonicl themselves en
courage a restoration of peace to the discord
ant and' divided councils of the Democratic
party ; but that the instinct of self-preserva
tion would induce the men who have allowed
themselves to be used by the General Admin
istration in this quarter, to yield to the expec
tation of the masses, and if not openly to unite
in measures for the restoration of peace to the
party, at least to retire from the leadership
they have usurped, and to allow patriotic men
to come forward and guide our organization
to success in 1860.
But all these hopes and wishes have been
dispelled. The intrepid men who have sym
pathized with THE Films in its steady stand
for the ascertained principles of the Demo
cratic party 7 as illustrated by Judge DOUGLAS,
and explained by Mr. BeauAmax and Mr.
BRECEINRIDGE themselves, before and after
their nomination—have not only been assured
by the oracles and organs of the General Admin
istration that they aro henceforth to be exclu
ded from the Democratic party, and to be re
garded as , 4 rebels,” deserving only of execu
tion; but now a systematic warfare has been
commenced upon another class of Democrats,
nearly all of whom cordially supported
the President in his most calamitous Kan.
sas policy, or ardently sustained the Ad
ministration State ticket at the last
election. This class of Democrats includes
hundreds and thousands of the purest and
ablest nren in the party, and may be said to
compose a large majority of the voters who sus
tained that ticket at the last election. Among
these Democrats we may be permitted to men
tion such names as Hon. CHARLES BROWN,
JAMES F. JOHNSON, GEORGE WILLIAMS, ED._
WARD WARYMAN, ALFRED DAY, FRANCIS
WC/WADI:7H, WILLIAM LOUGHLIN, LEWIS C.
CASSIDY, WILLIAM V. MCGRATH, GEORGE
R. BERRILL, RICHARD VAUX, JOHN MCCAR
THY, and a host of others; known, not only
in this city, but throughout the State, for their
consistent and constant support of the Demo
cratic organization.
We are not disposed to take any credit
to ourselves for having anticipated the
measure which was to be meted out by Mr.
BUCHANAN and his adherents to all those
who did not yield to the Administration in
everything--not merely in the matter of
Kansas, but in its subsequent proscriptions of
public men, and in its still later dictation of
nominations in the city and State, and its
offensive intermcddling in the alteration and
erection of repulsive platforms upon which
they were forced to stand and fall. But we
cannot refrain recalling to their attention the
repeated declaration in this journal, that the
time would come when all that we have as
serted in reference to the determination of the
General Administration to break up the Demo
cratic party unless its destinies were unre
servedly committed to its keeping, and to show
ut; quarter to those who might presume to take
any course outside of that marked out by its
officials in this city—the time would come
when this prediction would be abundantly
realized. And that time has come. It is here
now. And those who have deplored, and in
some instances denounced, the course of TnE
PaEss,*may, in their own persons, realize, at
this day, how little they have made by palter
ing or faltering in reference to the duty which
they aro now, we are happy to say, constrained
to perform. They adhered to the Administration
when it was pursuing, with inhuman ferocity,
the men who refused to yield Democratic prin
ciples, and we do not complain of the course
they took in The premises. No know most of
them to be honest and upright men. But now
they aro traduced themselves, simply and only
because, intim exercise of their duty as Demo
crats inside of the organization, they meet
together to consult as to the best method of
elevating the Democratic party from the de
plorable depth into width it has fallen, and to
make such preparations as will bring the
divided masses of that party together in har
monious array.
Looking to the future, they behold
the vast interests involved in the elections
next year: first, the important considerations
involved in the choice of a Democratic mayor
and Councils in this great city—a city always
Democratic when the party is united; second,
the Governor and Legislature of the State, in
October of the same year, upon the complex
ion of which latter depends the election of a
United States Senator for six years; third,
the entire delegation in Congress; and, fourth,
and more important than either, the triumph
of the Democratic party in the Presidential
campaigiPof November of that year. These
are interests of commanding magnitude, emi
nently deserving of the attention of the
best members of the Democratic party,
and singularly calculated to call forth
the patriotic exertions of every man
who entertains a sincere regard for the wel
fare of the country. And yet, only because
the gentlemen referred to assemble for the
purpose of taking steps to secure all these im
portant interests to the Democratic party,
they have been assailed by name, and traduced
with as much virulence as those who 'are co
operating with TUE PnEss in its persistent
warfare upon the treacheries and follies of the
General Administration. If this last exhibi
tion does not teach the active men of the
Democratic party in this city, and throughout
the State, how little they have to expect from
the tender mercies of the General Administra
tion and its agents, we shall be greatly mis
taken. •
In singular contrast with the blind and fatal
courses of those who have managed to take
possession of the organization of the Demo
cratic party in this city—entirely through ofil
dal influence—the manner in which the gen
tlemen who held positions under President
Ponce conducted themselves in reference to
the struggle for the Democratic nomination for
the Presidency in 186646, may, at this time,
be happily referred to. General PIERCE was
an avowed candidate for renomination. The
gentle Men holding position under him in this
city were nearly all his devoted personal
friends, and we may say of him that no Exe
cutive since the days of General hcasox was
more successful in gathering around himself
and his Administration the warm and sincere
attachment of all who were connected with
him. Mr. BUCHANAN, a citizen of Pennsylva
nia, absent from the country at the time the
canvass for the delegates to Cincinnati took
place In this city, was also a candidate for the
Democratic nomination. He had numerous
friends in Philadelphia, who were most
anxious to secure for him a united delegation
from Pennsylvania to the National Democratic
Convention.. The entire power of the Federal
Government, in all its departments in this city,
was in the hands of the friends of General
Pinion—as It is to-day in the hands of the de
pendents of Mr. BUCHANAN—and yet, during
all the contest for delegates, no voice was
raised in objection to the course of the office
holders under General PiERGE, and no effort
was made by those gentlemen to proscribe any
man for indulging a preference for JAmEs
Be
cLtNAR. On the contrary, among the subor
dinates under Hon. CIIARLEB BROWN, (then
collector of this port,) as well as those under
Jona MILLER, Esq., (then postmaster of Phila
delphia,) and Col. J. IL SNOWDEN, (then, as
now, director of the United States Mint,)
were a number who were openly engaged in
the different wards, canvassing for BCCIIANAH
delegates.
It is stated, as a signal instance of the
magnanimity of FRANKLIN PIERCE, that when
some of his enthusiastic friends in the lower
wards of the city, who were desirous of car
rying delegates favorable to him, suggested
that several hundred additional laborers should
be employed in the navy yard, ho refused his
consent, stating that while ho was willing to
employ as many thousands if the public
service required them, ho could not agree
to the appointment of a single additional
Man for mere party purposes. When the
county Convention met, which elected the
delegates to Harrisburg, several persons hold
ing office under the General Administration
were chosen, and went to the State Conven
tion the active and earnest friends of JANES
BUCHANAN. Among this list we remember
the names of FRANCIS MCPORNOK—since re
moved by tho present collector, for his sup.
posed DQVGLAS sympathies—Tin:was
JOHN CRAWFORD, and others. The result
was a harmonious Convention at Harrisburg,
a satisfactory platform, the election to
Cincinnati of a united delegation, the
nomination of Mr. BUCHANAN upon the
distinct Popular Sovereignty ground, and
the perfect union of the Democratic party of
Pennsylvania. In this connection it becomes
us to say, that in the campaign of 1856, among
tho most efficient, vigilant, and self-sacrificing
and generous advocates of Mr. BUCIIANAN,
Were CHARLES BROWN, collector; JonN MIL
LER, postmaster; R. C. HALE, surveyor;
ALFRED, DAY, navy agent; and HENRY C.
LOUGHLIN, P. BARRY HAYES, GIDEON WEST
cart, and GEORGE R. BERRILL, United States
appraisers; and many others, who (without
caring to inquire whether they would be re
tained in office, many of them declining reap
pointments) labored only for the success of the
Democratic party and its candidates. These
gentlemen, in concert with Hon. Mennen
VAUX—thon mayor of the city—devoted
themselves assiduously to the good cause, and
in several instances displayed a generosity and
disinterestedness wo have rarely seen equalled,
contributing the most potential element to
the success which crowned the exertions of
the united Democracy in that year. It is no
less significant that most of the names we have
mentioned were placed on the black list by
Mr. BUCHANAN immediately after his election,
and that, while they have all sustained his gene
ral Kansas policy, they are to-day, with scarce
ly an exception, marked out for denunciation
by his creatures, because they dare to assert
the right of acting for themselves in the prima
' ry elections.
Now for the reverse of the medal. Sir. Be-
CIIANAN is not a candidate for co-election—or
says ho is not. The Democrats of Philadel
phia preferred him in 1866, in the vain idea
that he would be a peace-offering to the coun
try. The office-holders of General PIERCE,
respecting the popular will, assisted to gratify
it. Now, when Mr. BUCHANAN is not in the
field, the Democratic masses of Philadelphia
look to some other name as a pence-onring
for 1860. One class (and by far the largest)
prefer STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS, another FRANK
LIN PIERCE, another Mr. BRECKINR/DOE, and
another Mr. GUTHRIE. And yet what do we
witness? The most indiscriminate assaults
upon all who do not yield to the dictates of
the office-holders of the Administration;
who, while professing to have no candidate of
their own, insist upon electing delegates to
the State Convention to be controlled by
themselves ! As we said in the beginning
of this article, the crusade against the
State-Rights Democrats, the "rebels"—a terns
of reproach, which they gladly accept as one
of honor—had, at least, the plausible justifica
tion of being a war upon men who ask no
terms from a degenerate Administration; but
the attack upon Democrats who have been
willing to sanction, or rather to tolerate, the
General Government in its treacheries, for the
sake of the organization of the party, posses
ses, if possible, a wider significance, and
teaches the lesson that we have fallen upon
times when the servants of the people
assume to be their masters, and when men in
office—a contemptible minority at the beet—
attempt to claim the right to domineer over
the disinterested majority. There is in this
spectacle a philosophy which is entitled to
some further comments. Meanwhile, we sub
mit to the judgment of the Democratic party
of Philadelphia, whether the " rebellion " of
THE PRESS, beginning, as it did, when the
Administration was flushed and' filled with
power, has not been strikingly vindicated by
a most salutary sequel?
The Meeting at Bridesburg.
By the proceedings of the meeting at Bride.
burg, held on last Wednesday evening, which
we publish this morning, it will be seen that
the Democratic citizens of the Twenty-third
ward aro making a resolute effort to rid them
selves of the. despotism of official dictation,
and to direct the energies of the organization
of the Democratic party into their true and
appropriate channel of protecting and enforc
ing genuine Democratic principles. We trust
this movement will be followed up in other
sections of the city. There is no doubt that
an immense majority of the Democratic citi
zens of Philadelphia are bitterly opposed to
the policy of the Administration, and that they
are animated by a strong desire to protect the
Democratic party in future from the inevitable
defeats which await it, so long as it is regarded
tho mere representative of Dtlehananiem.
' The official influence In this city derives its
strength not so much from the numbers con
trolled by it—for they form but a small portion
of the members of the Democratic party—but
from their discipline, their unscrupulousness,
and their close attention to the primary assem
blages, which control the nominations, the
choice of delegates to District, State, and Na
tional Conventions, and thus influence the
whole policy of the party. The power of the
Federal officials is last waning away. They
have sanctioned a gross betrayal of the prin
ciples of the party, and they have brought
down upon its devoted head a succession of
terrible defeats. If their counsels prevail
now they will secure, In the great Presiden
tial campaign of HO, a national repetition of
the disasters they have already brought upon
the State and local tickets of all the Democrats
of the North.
Tho Democracy of Philadelphia, in deciding
whether they will submit to the selection of
delegates to the next State Convention, and,
consequently, of delegates to the next Na
tional Convention, by the Federal officials of
this city, virtually decide between future vic
tory and future defeat—between the continua
tion of the party as a powerless and unsuc
cessful minority, or its re-establishment on a
new basis, which, by its just concessions to
the demands of public sentiment, would in
sure future triumph. There is nothing needed
to rout the cohorts of the Administration in
every Representative district but a resolute
and determined effort, and a full expression
of the honest Democratic sentiment which
abounds everywhere, at the primary assem
blages of the party. it is evident that no
men aro better satisfied of this fact than the
officials themselves, for fear and consterna
tion are displayed in all their movements, and
in the tone of those who arc their champions.
There never was in this country, since it
secured its freedom from the yoke of Great
Britain, a more complete exhibition of despot
ism than that which the Administration pre
sents in its relations to the Democratic party.
Men aro pursued for honestly entertaining opi
nions so orthodox that none dared to question
their correctness two years ago, with as much
vindictiveness as if they were the veritable
outcasts and felons of society. All the ma
chinery of the Government is brought
to bear upon them, so far as its power
can possibly extend, with as much ma
lignity, and in as tyrannical and ferocious
a spirit, as any despot of Europe ever evinced
against the champions- of liberty. There is
scarcely a classic appeal against existing ty
ranny in any ago or country that does not pre
sent many striking points of applicability to
the present position of the Democratic party
in its relations with the treacherous servants
who now assume to be its masters. There
never was a greater mockery upon any cause,
just in itself; and which possessed a hold upon
human sympathy, than the application of the
word Democratic to the Federal Administra
tion, or the control of the Democratic party
by its officials. They illustrate and enforce, by
their daily acts and policy, nearly every ty
rannical theory, every anti-Democratic doc
trine, every despotic sentiment that has dis
graced the human race. But the masses of
the Democratic party are too ardently at
tached to the Into principles or liberty to al
low official despotism to continue its influence
for any extended period. Thu genuine Demo
cratic spirit of the nation is rapidly and cer
tainly asserting its dignity and power, throtigh
the aid and influence of thousands who are
sickened by the despotism of which new evi
dences aro daily presented to their minds, and
by the weakened anti distracted condition into
which the Democratic party has been brought
by the treacheries and tyrannies of the Admi
nistration.

THB PRESS.-PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1859.
7 We may expect to hear, from all parts
of the South, that the people in that quarter
of the Union are greatly excited at the tragic
evt.nts at Harper's Ferry. This is but natu
ral. Tho ultra-Abolition sentiment in the
firee States• for the last twenty-five years has
been rapidly tending to extreme measures,
and there have not been wanting, in either sec
tion, political demagogues to fan the flame.
We, who reside in the free States, can hardly
conceive the sensitiveness of the people of
the South after an excitement such us that
which took place in Virginia a few days
ago. Every variety of apprehension will be
anticipated and suggested, and many honest
men will no doubt be led away by the general
feeling. In such a state of things it will be
well for our Southern brethren to turn their
eyes to the patriotic and sympathetic fooling
in the North, where all classes and all parties--
Democrats, Republicans, and Americans, with
very inconsiderable exceptions—stand ready
to sustain them in all their rights, and at every
hazard to protect them front the horrors of a
servile insurrection. This fact should present
itself to the reflecting men of the South, and
should guard them against the slightest encou

prehending the freo States in the ,olightest sus
picion of sympathy with the actors at the late
tragedy at Harper's Ferry. Violent remedies
will no doubt be suggested by violent men in
the South, as a protection against a repetition
of the late sad scenes which have so much
aroused the country. Such recommendations
can do no good. Tho sympathetic feeling for
our Southern friends, roused by the Harper's
Ferry anitir, may be followed by a fearful re
action, should not the Union-loving men of
the South respond to It heartily and at once.
0* The Public Ledger of yesterday seems
to be nervously anxious in regard to the
authorship of a communication published in
this journal of Wednesday, giving a descrip
tion of Joux BROWN, of Ossawattomle, and
stating some other matters in reference to the
movements of leading Abolitionists. - We
gave the " observations" in question as a
mere matter of news, having expressed
our own opinions editorially on the
same day, in the most explicit manner.
Tile Paces never prints a communication
on any question, without first obtaining the
namo of the writer; and the " observations"
in question were enclosed to us by the Secre
tary of the Anti-slavery Society in this city,
who, whatever may be said of his peculiar
opinions, (which we have always opposed,) is
among the representatives of a class of anti
slavery men in this city who regard the recent
tragedy at Harper's Ferry with quite as much
horror as the Ledger itself, and who profess to
operate entirely by argument, and ridicule the
alternative of the "bullet and the ballot."
Wo harilly think the secretary of such a so
ciety would be a .<yery formidable witness in
the hands of DistrihAttorney VANDYKE as an
accessory before the Mel, on account of his
communication sent to TnE PRESS.

GAZZANICIAN FAREWELL CONCERT.—At Musical
Fund Hall, last night, a very large audience as
sembled to assist, as the French say. at the Fare

great " Farewell Reneilt" at the Academy of Mu

seven years, or thereabouts, the Ravels have play
ed the "farewell" dodge. It has breasts so coin

who
"Sow rjlted the halter,now travelled the cart;
And nfren tonic IMO ; but wee loth to depart."
It i 3 to be hoped that this is the very last leave
taking of Gazzaniga, and, on the approved plan of
speeding the parting guest, we shall entreat her as
kindly as n tine regard for truth will 'allow.
The hall MIS nearly throe-fifths full. During
the first part of the performances, which went off
rather coldly, there was no more—which certain.
ly was a relief. During the second part, a email
knot of loud-handed auditors twice encored Mr.
Sanderson (inisprinted Sander., in programme,)
Madame Olizzanigit and Mr Perring, in n duet,
once, and each separately once also. Mr, Porting,
an English singer, was put iu the blunder pro
gramme RH Signor.
.Madame Oarzaniga, who was neatly attired,
looked much better than when she bade ',Fare
well," on the last previous 'suasion at the Academy
of Music. Itcet, which has improved her health
and appearance, has evidently served her voice
too. It has lost much of the wiry tone which in
jured it last season, and has gained clearness and
sweetness in the lower notes. Concert-singing is
not her forte, bemuse she is a dramatic vocalist.
yet she gave with no emelt effect the duo train
Travlata," wilts Signor Ardavani, end again a
duo with Mr. Porring. Of her solo, lhongh "Ali:

Signor Ardevani, from New York, has a very
good baritone voice, eapidde of much expression
and ho manages it tomarkably well. The grand
aria flout " Lucretia Borgia" was extremely well
executed. We hope to hear him in Opera.
Mr. Perring, always careful and accurate, was
educated in the best Loudon school for singing in
concerts and oratorios, and distinguished himself
lost night. ills first song, ono of Beethoven's, was
too long, but in the duet and trio with Madame
Gazzaniga, ho sang in a manner quite worthy of
his reputation. His ballad, " There Is a Flower
that Illoomoth," was the best-deserved encore in
the evening.
Of Mr. Sanderson's plane-forte playing wo shall
only say that lie now stands among the artists who
have played in this country during the last seven
years, inferior only to Thalberg and Gottschalk
As a composer, too, ho has high merit. The two
fantasias in tho programme wore composed by
himself—and so, we believe, were those which lie
played so admirably in response to filet:noon-calls.
Hero, Recording to public advertisement, closes
Madame Gazzaniga's professional labors in this
city. In Philadelphia, her fine voice and good
acting first received public recognition in this
country. Like tho man who picked up a diamond,
we made much of our treasure. All went on fora
couple of seasons, and then Madame Gazzaniga be
gan to exorcise those caprieen which petted vocalist ' ,
glory in exhibiting in foreign lands, and whioli
they dare not attempt to display in their own na
tive places, where paid singers are not allowed by
the Government to disappoint the public. Herr,
however, we saw Madame Oazzanign so puffed
up with praise (and unaccustomed dollars) that
she positively declined to appear in the same
opera with Madame de la Orange, certainly one of
the best vocalists who have ever sang in this coun
try. Next came Pauline Colson---young, talented,
and a more altractli o singer than even La Grange.
Whether Gazzaniga, as is most likely, dreaded the
results of immediate contrast with Colson, we
know not, but Rho declined Ringing with her also,
all the while fearfully petting and patroni•
zing little Madame de Wilhorst—who is only a
neat drawing-room singer, at best—and public
ly presenting her with bouquets and receiv
ing them book, as publicly. half an hour later
in the evening. An a woman, Madame Col
son had a Chihli to the womanly kindness which
tlazzaniga did not extend. As an art's', every
judge of singing must admit that Colson wee every
way more cffective than Orizzliniga—both which
causes, perhaps, may account for the unkludness
with which Gazznnign floated her, At the last
season, when Gazzaniga returned here, with an
overwOrked and evidently deteriorated voice, she
was tolerated rather than admired. And the to
leration was because she had been petted bore be
fore; because the public really did not like to cen
sure a woman who seemed to be doing her best to
please them; and because she announced that
she was bidding farewell, at that time,
not to Philadelphia alone but to the Uni
ted States. We know that she was not return
ing to Europe then, and we said so—for which we
received considerable censure. That was in March.
Now wo aro in October. We still doubt that she is
leaving a country whore she made, in a single
wee,(, double what educated men, in various pro
fessions, can earn by continuous hard work in the
course of a whole ear. We doubt it—front what
we have heard. I f, after thisselemn "Farewell,"
Madame Gazzaniga should retain to the Academy
of Musk during the coining season, she desei yes to
have empty houses to sing to. We untlentand
that negotiations are even now on the lapis to " pre
vail with her" to sing another season in the Opera
hero. The riddle want novelty, not an amore of a
farowelled singer,

WASHINGTON, OoL. 20, 1850
It would be in vain lo disguise that the whir at
Harper's Ferry has erected general alarm in the
Southern States. This alarm has been exhibited
strikingly in Washington city. Patrols have been
stationed by the authorities at all accessible points,
and much uneasiness continuei to ho felt by our
citizens, mato and female. But in every such crisis
as this, there be a Providential compensation. The
peril of the South awakens the natural affections
of the North. I havo no doubt that the population
of Penipylvanla 'would rise en masse to protect
their Southern brethren front a servile insurrection.
The tonic of the proms of all parties In the free
States is healthful and emphatic in denunciation
of the insane but horrid plot at llarper's Ferry.
These (hinge cannot fait to have the happiest effect,
not only now, but hereafter. Let us hope that
they will plant the seeds of fraternity and I
good—fooling among all the States of the
Union. It was Only yesterday, as it were,
since the Southern States were enabled to assist,
the business Interests of the North, by means of
their heavy crops of cotton, rico, and sugar; and
now that those States may be said to bo in
some danger from their peculiar population, we
are called upon to witnees a simultaneous move
moat of eympathy and co-operation in their behalf
on the part of the people on the other side of Ma
con it Dixon's line.
The immodiate political effect of this outbreak
will be felt its the coming elections in Maryland,
and you need intim astonished if loth Winter Da
vis and Morris's Norris should be defeated for
Congress in Baltimore—especially the former,
whose iccout speech has exhibited a strong sympa
thy with Northern fanaticism.
When 1 saw tint a loiter from Gerrit Smith had

could not believe it to be possible that this moat
plausible gentleman, who served in the Congress
of the United States from 1553 to 1555, and whose
whole life had boon one long profession of peace
ful purposes, should have lent himself to this ter-
tibia tragedy. Gerrit Smith, while in Congress,
made a very favorable impression. Ills appear

Smith as ono of tho best fellows in am capital
as one, although well known ns an Abolition
ist, still as ono to be tolerated. I thought the an
nouncement that be had assisted in the late MOVO
moot at Harper's Ferry was a mistake, until ono
of his Abolition friends in this city called my at
tention to his letter, written on the 27th of August
last, from his residence in New York, in which It
appears that the peaceful Gerrit Smith really con
templated, if ho did not advise, a speedy and
bloody end to the slavery agitation. A single ex
tract from this letter will sullies :
"No wonder, then, is It that in this state of fact.
which I hate sketched, intelligent black men in the
States and Canada should nee no hope for their race in
the practice end policy of white men. No wonder they
nra brought to the conclusion that no resource is left to
them but in cod and insurrection,. For insurrections,
then, we may look any year, any month, any day. A
terrible remedy for a terrible wt one. But come it must,
unless anticipated by repentance and toe putting away
of the terrible wrong.
" It will be said that them insurreetionn will be fail
ures ; that they will be put down. Yes, but will not
slavery nevertheless bo put don nby them? For wing
portions are there of the South that will cling to slavery
after two or three considerable insurrections shall have
filled the whole South with horror? And in it entirely
certain that these insurrections will be put down prompt
ly, end before they can have eproad far? Will telegraphs
and railroads be too swift for even the swiftest insurrem.
hone Remember that telegraphs and railroads min be
rendered useless in an hour. Remember, too, that many,
who would lie glad to face the inaorgenta, would he bust
in transporting their wives and daughters to places
where they w odd be safe from that worst fate which
husbands and fathers min imagine for their wises and
daughters. I admit that, but for this embarrassment,
Southern inen would 'email at the idea of an 'onager,
Linn. and would quickly dispose of ono. But trembling
as thee would fur their loved ones. I know of no part of
the world where, so much as in the Smith. men would
be like, in a formidable incurroption, to lose the most
important time, nod be distracted and panic-stricken.
" When the day of her calamity shall have come to
the South, and fire, and rape, and slaughters, shall be
filling up the manure of her affliction. then will the
North have two reasons for remorse :
" Ftrist. l'ltt she wee not 'thin: ochatoror tho atti
tude of the south at this pound to shale with her in the
osponse nod lona an immediate and universal eman
cipation,
" Second. Thot oho wits not willing to voto shivery on
of elogtence."
Everything conspires to render the next Congress
ono of the most interesting, if not the most disas
trolls, that has over assembled here. Not to speak
of the tlAubt that hangs over the organization of
tho 'louse, all the late °vents will bo thrown into
the balling cauldron like so many explosive and
inflammable Ingredients. The South will come
here indignant, tho North defiant; but I am not
without hope that the sympathetic spirit which has
grown out of the late insurrection will, so far from
adding to the excitement, teach all sides a lesson of
forbearance and unity. When the free States in.
dignitutly frown upon the raid of Brown and his
ill-fated followers, it is, I think, no time for those
of the South to Indulge in aarimonious threats and
denunciations. "Out of the nettle Danger lot us
pluck the flower Safety."
Gradually the fecal" of woll•known political
leaders begin to make their appearance in this
city. Already numbers aro to be found at our
hotels and boarding-houses. Years have made
end inroads into the ranks of the regular vieiters
to Wm:l44ton. These who come here, come either
no Representatives In one or tits other branch of
Congress, or to make this capital a pleasant resi
dence during the jointer, or are interested in
various measures before Congress and tho depart
ments. When a public man once gets a taste of
Washington life ho rarely ever recovers, but is
tam' of coming back, whenever an opportunity
cffers. The consequenee is, that gradually our
city is being made 'nip permanent home of pant
hers of members of Congress, ex.illenators, and ex
officials, who find it agreeable and profitable to
contlime the relations begun in other capacities.

henry Ward Beecher at Concert Hall
Last Everang.
The annual course of popular lectures before the
People's Literary Institute was inaugurated at
Concert Hall, last evening, by a lecture from
Honey Ward Beecher, and a splendid inauguration
it was. The audience was literally overflowing.
several minutes before the hour of commencing
had arrived every scat in the hall was occupied,
including those in the gallery and on the platform,
and many who desired wore unable to obtain ad
mission.
Commendable pains wore taken by the mana
gers to prevent the sale of more tickets than the
hall would comfortably accommodate, and their
sale at the stores was Stopped at 5 o'clock in the
afternoon and at the door several minutes before
the lecture opened At thirty-three minutes after
the time appointed to commence his lecture, Mr.
Iteecher's appearance upon the platform was sig
nalled by a perfect thunder of applause, and,
omitting his usual•extemporo preface, the lecturer
at once announced his theme to be " flAnnat.a

merit of being new; and, although less boister
ously applauded than some we have heard him de
liver, was in ninny respects their superior.
lie commenced by saying that be who made right
seem better than wrong, and good better than evil,
applied the most powerful antidote to mischief. As
in the natural world, not storms and thunders, but
dews and mundane bred harvest, so he wished, on
this ocensivn, rather to avoid sarcasm and the hu-
morons, and deal in milder weapons in whet ho had
to say of bargain•makers," a term which, 'for
sundry reasons given, he preferred to that of mer
chant
Wherever there was bargain-making, we might
be solo there was life. There was always a pulse
in the village store, whether there was any sign of
adivity in any other interest in the neighborhood
or not. It had been the habit of men to stigmatize
bargain•makers as selfish. Well, suppose they
were, ho would ask in what rcspeet they differed in
this from every other class ? Was there no mis-
representation in tho medical profession' no lying
in the legal! or was there nothing entirely free
fow falsehood but the Church 7 [Laughter.]
It would bo found, he said, that the most gene
rous men were not to bo found among the lordly
princes of acres, but rather among those who were
using their money in traffic. If we looked up to
commerce through its branches, we might see its
docive'll features and imperfections; but if we
viewed it from some towering moral altitude, from
which could be seen all its grand ameliorating
tendencies, our impression would be very different.
Cattiness made men practical, and thus reduced
everything to a substantial basis. Speculation, on
the other hand, was represented as a balloonist
who went up without knowing where to, and gene
rally came down.
It was Commerce that bad mspacked this globe,
whioh before IVA 9 a locked trunk. She taught men
, ilso to delve in mines, and Board' tho bottom of
streams. She needed the winds, and took them
captive for her sails; she needed something more,
and was now applying fire and running races with
For three hundred miles from our coast, and all
around the British Isles, the bottom of the sea
had been brought up and mapped through her en•
orgy.
Commerce, too, had made the world a whisper
ing gallery. Iler feet it was that forded the omen,
and proved the possibility of rendering electricity
Inseam; of instantaneous communication around
the globe. The 9 awe ship which carried rum to
the Indies, carried also missionaries with the
pledge !
Commerce alone was a universal monarch. The
King governed his subjects, the Emperor his le
gions, the Popo his devotees, but the banker was a
universal lord. There was no tribe on the globe
that did not understand the language of the dollar.
And whatever might be her motive, in the long
run Commerce would be found working with God.
Man's selfishness always sowed winter, but out
of winter God reaped spring! So it was often in
this world, the mischief which man contrived end
ed in benefit. Commerce and religion were un-.
luestionably working together; one, front a divine
motive, the other from a selfish ono.
Commerce had at last learned that the civilized
were better buyers than the barbarous, and for
this reason was beginning to favor civilization.
In the comparison made by the lecturer between
the workings of Commerce and of Providence some
the interesting peculiarities of Mr. Boocher's
[recently much•eommented•upon] theology wore
slightly uncovered.
Commercial experience was beginning to teach
men that liberty is profitable , end, said he, let
every storekeeper in the land once get the idea
•hat this is true—that the dollar-and.conts interest
of the world teaches liberty—and every doctor of
divinity will swear that the Bible teaches the smite
thing! [Laughter.] Ile did not mean a profane
oath, of course, but a sanctuary oath. [Renewed
laughter.
But there was alligher motive In Commerce than
mere greed for money. A knowledge of men, all
moonier of substances, forces, and manufacturing
powers was needed and possessed by the successful
merchant. The unwritten book of the human
heart went down into that widest and deepest
library, the grave-yard, un read, or we should see
in multitudes of stores along our crowded streets,
underneath the outward efforts manifested, the
purest and noblest motives of men and women,
struggling to achieve objects of human affection,
which, if kpown, would lend a divine halo to their
toil.
The threads of life were woven in the loom of the
heart : the figures stamped upon the cloth were but
the outward act 4.
The relations of Commerce to intellectual culture.
moral culture, politics, and humanity remained yet
to be considered. Ile would not say that a colle.
glate education wee absolutely noceseary for a
merchant; yet it was a great advantage for him to
have it. Ile believed that any man would be all
the better fir having an education, no matter bow
menial his vocation; in fact, the lower down a
man's position was in the social scale, the more he
needed to be educated. It required a greet deal
more intelligence to be poor than to be rich. The edi
tor needed culture end varied attainments, but not
more so than did the farmer, the mechanic, and the
manufacturer. Tho world was God's library, and
every man should use it. It Wll5 no disgrace for
man to spend his lite in selling little things, unless
the smallest thing in the store was the man him
self!
Speaking of the relations of commerce to more
culture, the speaker said it was a false aspersion
upon traffic to say that laxity of morals was hulls.
pensablo to success Practical commerce, he in.
shied. was founded in equity, and absolute moral
correctness was the first requisite of a successful
bargain-maker. A dishonest course was in the
long run like a bursting cannon, while it might
injure the object aimed at it destroyed itself, and
was very opt to kill the engineer who fired it. •
The relations of commerce to politics were next
considered. It was not the church and the pulpi
which needed integrity most, though they could
dispose of a little more than they have. The men
in our land who had sold their rectitude for pelf
had been paid, and always would be; and that
merchant who took sides with injustice was a sui-
cide. The way of integrity might seem hard as
flint, but it was sure to end in the orchard and in
flowers. No man hod less excuse for being a time-
serving politician than a merchant
Commerce, in the last place, was considered in
its relation to humanity. In tbis connection it
was said that commerce was the world's plough

gospel of love, or of the whip, was a matter of the
gravest importance. (told 1 , 1118 the world's baro
