Washington’s Farewell Address** There has been rather n tendency, or late years, to undervalue tho Intellectual capacity of George Washington, and make it appear that he was indebted to others for tho various documents which were officially communicated to tho public in his name. The chict claim has been made in behalf of Aiexander. Hamil ton, who^d represented, by one of hisdescend nnts, to have been the pen of tho Revolution, as Washington was its sword. Among the claims thus made in favor of Hamilton, a man of unquestionable ability, is one which asserts that Washington’s celebrated Farewell Ad dress was written by Hamilton, and uot, as it purports, by the illustrious Father of his Country. A serious claim, it must bo con fessed, and not without a good deal of plausi ble evidence to support It. Our distinguished fellow-citizen, tho vcnc rablo nnd venerated Horace Binney, now al most an octogenarian, but with a worm heart and strong intellect, lias been induced, by ve neration for the character, and regard for the fame of Washington, ns well as by a love of truth, and a life-long tendency to investigate difficult cases, in which conflicting testimony has been brought forward, with an honest pur pose on both sides, has lately published an oc tavo volume, entitled ‘'‘An Inquiry into the for mation of Washington’s Farewell Address.” Of this work wo have to take some notice j from tho interest of tho subject, and out of re spect to the author, tho very Nestor of Ameri can Wrra/t, and eminently distinguished, for more than half a contury, as a lawyer of the highest repute. Mr. Binney speaks of tho formation ■ rather than of tho authorship of Washington’s Foro wcll Address—a distinction which takes away somo difficulties, andindeed reduces the point at issue into the qustion—how was tho docu ment constructed ? Mr. Binney says: “That Washington, like othor executive chief*, or heada of military command, consulted his minis ter*, oflicorß, and frionds, And was aomotlmos obliged to uso their pens for the oxprossion or the arrangement of his thoughts, is not only probable but cortain. He left behind him some tracosof this wise praotioo, nnd it was moro than onoo avowed by him ; but that he had dono this at any time and under any circnhifitnnccs, with such ah appeal, cither expreFsed or understood, ns would reflect upon his minister or friend if he loft a trace of his contributions among bis papors, or that in tho in stance of this great papor he hud cloaked tho ser vice so carefully a a to imply a corresponding duty on the othor sidn to do tho Kamo, for tho purpose of leaving tho honors of tho entire writton composi tion with him. is a thought that cannot ba recalled without tho greatest ropugnancc, from both its as pects. In this last ense, tho character of each party was a guarantee that whatevor was arkort or done wasproporly asked and dono; that tberowas no vain glory on oithor side, no sense of humiliation or superiority, no aspiration for tho honors of au thorship at too expense of either truth or loyalty, but a contribution on onoh sldo. if there wero two contributing parties, as would leuvo to the principal party tho merit and tho responsibility of tho thought?, and to tno other the raorit of oxpnndlng, defending, and presenting them in the most suitable form, n task which pub lio engngementa, or a particular turn of mind, may have mado unusual to tho one, while it wa* habitu al and easy to the othor; and that no sonso of ho nor had boon wounded, nor any pretension of vani ty consulted, by leaving tho traces of a) joint co operation, just as each party has left them.” Washington’* Farewell Address, signed by him, anil dated September 17th, 1796, cannot be taken as any thing loss than a public docu ment, issued on the occasion of his leaving active life, and deeply tinged with personul feeling. Washington knew that suck a docu ment would attract much attention abroad ns well as at homo, and was most solicitous, there fore, that it should bo clear, explicit, and ex pressive of his sentiments. On that account, with a distniBt in his own powers which few but himself ever felt, Washington submitted to another mind his own ideas—sometimes elaborated very fully—so that tlm document ho required should bo executed in tho best man ner and in tho most suitable languago* It was to bo not only a State paper, nor an ofll cial paper, but, Mr. Binney says, “it was to bo in the nature of a testamentary declaration of his political principles, as well as to impart his counsels, and to express his personal thanks and valediction to tho wholo people of the United States.” Although tho Fnrowell Address wns dated September, 1796, it had been in Washington’s mind several years before. “Ho thought It,” Mr, Binnky says, “ a year or more bofovo the end of his first term of oflico as President; nnd ho thought it till tho matter was consum mated, about six months beforo the cud of his last term.” Iu a letter to Mr. Madison, dated tho 20th of May, 1792, Washington said that ho was dosirous of withdrawing into private life, at tho then approaching close of his first Pre sidency, and ho requested Mr. Madison to think of the proper time and best modo of an nouncing tho intention, and that he (Mr. M.) would prepare the announcement; that is, to quote Washington's own words .* “ That you would turn your thoughts to a vale dictory Redress from rao to tho public, oxpressiug, in plain and modost tonus, that, having boen ho nored wbh tho Providential ohair, and to tho best of my abilities contributed to tho organization and administration of tho Government—that having ar rived at a poriod of life when tho private walks of it, in tho shades of retirement, bccorao necessary, and will be most ploosing to mo; (and ns tho spirit of the Government may rendor a rotation in the elective officers of it moro congenial with the idea s ; I tho people havo] of liberty und safoty)— that I tnko my loavo of them as a public man, nnd, in bidding them ndiou, retaining no othor concern than such as will arise from fervent wishes for tho prosperity of iny country, I take the liberty of my departure from oivil {life], I formerly did at my military exit, to invoko a continuation of the blessings of Providonco upon it, and upon all those who are tho supportors of its interests, and tbo pro motes of harmony, ordor, nnd good government.” It then proceeded, in oxplicit terms, to point out tho four loading topic* which, in Washington’s own opinion shall principally bo enlarged upon. Thoso nro tho leading topics of tho Farewell Address, published moro than four years later. Of course, the proposition was a confidential one. Mr. Din key, we submit, makes too broad an assertion when ho says that “ it is manifest that Wash ington asked Madison both to write for him and to think tor him in this behalf.” Wash ington asked him to consider if such an ad dress were proper; if tho leading topics ho suggested could be worked up into it, and the limo when it should bo mado public. Mr. Madison complied with the request of his dis tinguished friend, and drew up a document, in which ho.took up Washington's suggestions, developed them at moderate length, and added very little of his own. As a sailor would say, ho made it into ship-shape, filling up tho com prehensive outline which Washington had sent him. Washington abandoned his inten tion of retiring at tho end of his first term of otficu, and therefore had no occasion to use Madison’s draught. In 1796, Washington’s purpose of retiring becamo absolute, and he proceeded to tho preparation of his Farewell Address. lie made tho draught of such an address, which ho showed to Hamilton, at Philadel phia. After this, (on May 10th, 1790,) Ha milton wrote, from New’ York, begging that this paper should bo sent on to him. This was done, by Washington, on May 16th, nnd this draught, in Washington’s handwriting, (or a copy of it,) found among Wash ington’s papers, after his death. Tliis draught includes Washington’s ori ginal topics, as put into form by Madison, with additional topics, not so much elaborated, which had been suggested in tho four years between 1792 and 1790. Hamilton, greatly trusted by Washington, elaborated tho draught sont him on May 15th, using Washington’s own words, in numerous instances. The leading principles, tho great truths, the sogneious thoughts in tho Farewell Address—the very soul of tho document—all came from Wasuinoton’s own head and heart. Hamilton adapted the parts to each other, 'and finished up the whole—but, finally, Washington himself revised and materially altered Hamilton’s completed composition. In a word, without desiring to umlcr-valuo Hamilton, we think he cannot bo looked upon, * An Inquiry inti the Formation of Washington’s Farewell Address. 1 volo Bvo. pp. 250.

Pulpit Portraits—No. 1. REV. JOHN EDGAR, D. D., OF BELFAST. BT GnAYDKAKD. Rev. John Edgar, D. D., of Belfast, son of Dr. Samuel Edgar, Professor of Theology to the old Secession Synod, is a Professor of Divinity in the Presbytorian Church of Ireland, and is tho senior member of tho deputation of three, appointed by the Irish Presbyterian Assembly to visit fchja conn try to solicit aid in bohalf of tho missionary enter prises, now In program in the South and West of Ireland. This delegation was publicly vetcomcd in on last Thursday evening, and the oauso they represent Was, era Sunday last, presented by them In nine of our Presbyicrlan eburehes, - As a back-ground to the “ portrait,'* Imay slate that Dr. Edgar's name has, daring the past thirty yoars, boen popularly associated with all tho.hu mane and reformatory movements of his country. In 1839, ho inaugurated the Temporanco Reform, to which ho has dcTotcd his energies from' that day to this. At that time tho annual consumption of spirituous liquors in Groat Britain apd Ireland had attained tho tmormous amount of 2,500,000 gftlltfns, boing double the quantity consumed 10 years before. Tho average doorcase in this consumption within tho laßt thtco years, Which Is, of courso, largely attributable a tho'temperance movement, has been 1,350,000 gallons, compared with the afliotint consumed iu*lBiC. About twenty yoars ago tho Ulster Female Poniteptlary was founded and built, mainly through tljo philanthropic efforts of the subject of this Bketch. This institution, strictly, is none other than an asylum for penitent fofltolesj and it is a significant fact that the numbor of its Inmates has moro than doubted since the com mencement of the present religious revival in that island. For many years he tins been the secretary of tho Institution for tho Deaf and fitithb and Blind, to the interest of which much of his time has boen dovotod. Ills more recent labors have been principally confined to Connaught, tho smallest of tho four provinces of Ireland, extending along tho Atlantic codst. flo went thoro in 1846, and was tho first to attraot interested attention abroad to the famine then scoprging its unfortunate inhabi tants, by onlllng a scries of public meetings. The prominent part taken by Dr. Edgar in that be nevolent enterprise seoured for him. tho confidence and esteem'of the people, irrespective of Crctfd or opinion,which has been signally expressed in the fact that sinco thon upwards of one hundred thousand dollars have been voluntarily placed in his hands for disbursement. This money ha 4 been mainly employed by him in the establishing of female In dustrial schools, many of which, from tho excel lence of tho work produced, now occupy an im portant mercantile position. Tho famine loft tho district of Connaught with thousands of dopondent orphans. Tho female portion of those it was one of Dr. Edgar’s first stcp3 to gather into schools, in which tho Bible was read, and the inmates were taught the art of embroidering, which latter has now become so important a branch of industry that tbo earnings of thoso engaged in it amounted, du ring tho past year, to $125,000. A large number of those who have coino koto since the iamino, earned tho cost of their passage in these Schools, and have sinco, during their rcsidenco in America, remitted largely to thoir friends at home. During tho seven years ending in 1858, tbo amount thus remitted from America by pupils from the3o schools in Con naught exceeded seven million pounds\*terling. But these schools have been productive of more than a moro pecuniary bonefit. They have ore&tcd a new tasto, given a now impetus to tho deriro for improvement, and, to a great extent, changed the aspect of society. In many of the dismal, light excluded hovels, where idleness and wretchedness wero formerly tho twin inmates, windows have been punched through tho mud walls, and girls who hnve been thus taught to earn a livelihood, are found within plying the neodlo; thqlight which has dawned upon tho mind having rendered in dispensable tho light of day also. The object of Dr. Edgar and his associates now is, to establish throughout that country a higher class of missionary schools. In 1811, out of 8,000,- 000 inhabitants, 3,750,000, abovo fivo years of age, could neithor road nor writo; whoreasnow there are In tbo national schools, alono, about 600.000 pu pils, five-sixths of whom are said to be the children of Roman Catholic?. Tho plan proposed to meet and foster this nowly-acquirod tasto is, by a sys tem of colportage, in which Christian men are to bo engaged in hawking Bibles, cheap reli gious books and tracts, from houso to house, and are, in fact, now so oogaged to a great er or loss extent, in every oounty of Con naught, in the wost. Tho funds now being contri buted by our churobos are to bo applied toward* erecting in every principal town in that district a Presbyterian church nnd schools, two of tho for mor having boon already orcotod by Dr. Edgar, during tho past summer. It has not been ascer t lined what was tho nggregato nmount contributed at tho nine collections taken up in this city last Sunday; but in tho church, Broad and Spruoe, of which Rev. Dr. Wylie is pastor, tho on tho ovoning of that day was about two thou sand dollars, und tho amount of all combined will hardly fall short of ten thousand dollars. So much for tho background. Should any of our honorablo contemporaries, secular or religions, feel disposed to transfer it, or tho following, to their columns, tho only charge made to them for doing £0 will be, not cash, but due credit. If it bo true tbnt “ tho best portrait of a man is painted in the life ho leads,” farthor delineation of my Bubjeot would seem unnecessary. Hit) phi lanthropic features, in what has boon already said stand out in prominent relief, It inny be interest ing, novertboloss, to look at him foramoment as ho appeared in tho pulpit of the Presbyteri nn Church, ltaco and Seventeenth streots, (Rev. Dr. Dalo's), on Inst Sunday morning. Dr. Edgar is about sixty yoars of ago. His physique is that of a man who has braved tho storm and grown stonger by fighting his way over difficulties. Tho powor of physical endurance is rn&Tkod in his every lineament. His audiouoos are spell-bound by an indescribable something in his stylo, although thoro is nothing that can bo called prepossessing in his appearance. Nature, in form ing him, seems to havo applied tho utilitarian rule with unbending rigor, tabooing tho ornato in toto. Ho Is rather above tho medium height, but from tho breadth nnd roundness of bis shoulders bo does not appear so. He has a largo bead, moro reinarka blo for elongation, ftnd height in what i 3 phro nologiealJy described ns the “ Moral region,” than for breadth. Intellectually, bo is reflective, rather than porccptivo, although I should think moro than ordinary in both. Ilia face, in tho pulpit, is not particularly expressive ; ho lina a rather diminu tive gray eyo, a tnassivo mouth, iudicatlvo iu its outline of a marked mentality, nnd when ho 6peak3 ho Ims n way of using his tonguo nnd smacking his lips ns if ho hhnsolf was enjoying a more material banquot than tho feast of reason nnd tbo flow of soul to which ho is treating his hearers. Jlis stylo of person, gesticulation, modo of expression, and acoont, aroall so peculiar that to hear him onuo is to remember him lorovcr after. Whon tho preliminary devotional exorcises woro eonoludod by Dr. Dale, Dr. Edgar camo forward, opened the Bible, and with a rcmark&blo breadth of broguosaid: “In fifty-third chapter, tenth verso, and last clause, you find these words: “ The pleasure of (he Lord shall prosper in his hand;" when be at once closed the book with a sort of awkward slap, and proceeded with his dis* ’course, whioh was cxaotly ono hour in length. Ho had not proceeded far with his sermon (which was a closo application throughout, rathor than an ex position) boforo it was plain to be eocn that be was : a man of his own stamp. ' « WKJV.oA'JTfI* TWO CENTS. His manner, while speaking, impresses one that he is not addressing his audienoa so much as ha is talking either to himself, or some invi&iblo person age suspended about midway between the pulpit and the ceiling. That he does bear his congre gation In mind, however, Wbs finely indicated in the closing portion of his discourse,' which was cer tainly os well calculated to pierce through the heart of his hearers into their pockets, as any similar appeal I hare ever heard. He is evidently a man of fewer words than ideas, and apparently thinks his matter as he goes along. Now he seems to he in an abitraat mood, at work, with his mental axo, chopping every superfluous word from the thought he is about to express; then a gleam of tho pathetic seems tolight up his big, honest heart, and he grows tender and impressive; nnon an ir resistible conclnsion flashes upon hU soak and he brings his olenohed hands down upon the book before him, throwing his protuberant brow in the same direction, with bis eyes closed, and remains silent for a moment, os if to wait for the recording angel to inscribe it upon the heart of his bearers. Tbo analysis made of his subject was complete and original. “The pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.” This prospering had re ference to the work which the Lord was perform ing through his servants. “ And,’* said he, “is it not a high privilege to be a source of plcasurt to Al mighty God!” The Lord was manifesting his pleasure in the salvation of souls, and that work was committed to the Son of God, the Lord Jesus. Christ. Tho divisions of his {ext were as follows * Ist. The work which is the pleasure of the Lord. 2d. That work, in the hands of Christ; and, 3d. The glorious prosperity which was promised to that work. IDs treatment of these several points was lucid, and, in some respects, masterly. There was no straining after effect; for, although his manner in every particular was singular, it was no more so than himself and was therefore natnral. If he is a man of superior scholarly attainments—which h? doubtless is—he seems to be perfectly indifferent to having anybody suspect him of it. His wonderful powers of influencing the masses are proven by bis past career, though this can hardly be attributed to his eloquesoo. Still, as the eloquence of the Bri tish islands has been described by one as "stam mering carried to perfection,” wo in this country, from oar extraordinary “ gift of the tongue,” are probably not competent to pronounce fairly upon this accomplishment of our transatlantic cousins. When the speaker was about midway In his dis course ho struck upon a heart Tein, in which the whole-soui warmth of Irish character was strikingly manifested. Ills intonations here assumed a sor rowful, sing-song whine not unlike the notes of a Scotch bag-pipe in tone, and In their undulating flow were very similar to the singing style that I havo sometimes beard adopted by Quaker! preachers. Ono very noticeablo feature of Dr. Edgar’s preaching is, hfa facility for quoting Scripture, which ho really does as if the 1 passage quoted was a part Of bis own nature woven into the web of his discourse, and not, as is sometimes done, culled out, and hung upon a sermon like an antiquated orna ment. Tho quality, of his creed is, what members of that school would regard as soundly Calrinistie. Tho object and aim of his discourse wns evidently to magnify the “grace-of God,” rather than frighten men with “ the terrors of the law.” Hla illustrations were forcible,'and always to the point td deploring the effects of trials upon the human heart, the rocking of the sea was used as a descrip tive figure, the speaker at the same time folding, bis arms oloseto his chest, and rookiug his person to and fro, while he proceeded in plaintive tones to point the sinner to that “Friefld who. stieketh oiosertiafl n brother.” Take.hiiaell innll.heis a wonderful oddity, though thoroughly Irish all over, insido and out. Speaking of him as s man merely., not as a Christian 1 , I- should attribute the sonree of his peculiar achievements to large be nevoienfe, a will that laughs at obstacles, a plan ning, methodical Intellect, and an energy that is a stranger to fatigue, all of which arc evidently possessed by Dr. Edgar in an eminent degree. PERSONAL AND POLITICAL. Tho Somerset (Pa.) Democrat has at the head of its editorial columns the name of Hon. Jeremiah 8. Black as a candidate for President, subject to tho decision of tbs Charleston Conven tion. Af tho Democrat is a sort of home organ of the Judge, this Use of bis name is, no doubt, fully authorized; and, as he Is therefore fairly in the field as a Presidential candidate, It will be an in tetedtiog task for political observers to carefully note bow many votes he receives in the coming Charleston Convention. The Doylestown (Pa.) Democrat concluded an able article, advocating the nomination of Judge Douglas as tbe next Democratic Presidential can didate, as follows: “ Wo are for Mr. Douglas for the Presidency be fore any other man, because we believe him the strongest candidate named, to say nothing of the many other reasons to bo urged in his behalf. His sterling political integrity, his indomitnbio courage, and unfaltering consistency, commend him to toe coofldeneo of the country.” United Status Sbnator rnOH Kentucky —The Mount Stetliug U7t*g says, “ All eyes eeera to be turned upon Vice President Breckinridge ns the most suitablo candidate for that office, and we nave no more doubt of bis election thafi we hnve about tho rising of tho sun on New Yoar*s morning. Every editor has tbe right to select such a man as be may think proper to write about; but when the members of tbe Legislature come to elect a Senator, they will unite upon Major Breckinridge with ts much unanimity as was ever witnessed at Frankfort on any similar occasion.” the passengers who arrived in New York on Tuesday evening, on the Arago, were Mrs. J. Y. Mason and family, from Paris; tbe Hon. L. M» Keitt and lady, Jerome Kaptleon Bona parte, and Prof. Childs, of Cambridge, Mass. 23PA writer in Once a Weei gives the following account of the death of the great Pitt: “Pitt died athis house on Putney Heath, near Ihe spot where Canning and Castlereagb fought thoir duel, and in a very neglected state, none of his family or friends being with bim at the time. One who was sincerely attached to him, hearing of his illness, rode from London to sco him. Arriving at his house, ho rang tho bell at tho entrance gate, but no ono came. Dismounting, he mado his way to tho hall-door, and repeatedly rang tho boll, which no one answered. He then entered the house, wandered from room to room, till at last he discovered Pitt ou a bed, dead and entirely ne glected. It is supposed tbnt such was his poverty, ho had not boon able to pay tho wages of his ser vants, and that they had absconded, taking with them what they could.” An anecdote rel alive to the late Proforsor Wilson Is just now circulating.' When tho suitor for the hand of Professor Wilson’s daughter had gained the lady’s approbation, ho was, of courso, referred to papa. Having stated his, probably, not unexpected case, the younger gentleman was directed to desire tho lady to corno to her father, and, doubtless, bor obedience was prompt. Pro fessor Wileon bad before bim, for review, some work, on the fly-leaf of which was duly inscribed, “ JH/A the author's compliments .” Ho tore this oat. pinned it to his daughter’s dress, solemnly led her to tho young lover, and went back to his work. tfgpMrs. Harriet Beceher Stowe, who, with her husband, has been residing in London for the past threo months, is about to proceed to Switzerland, where eho will remain during the winter with her daughter, her husband, Professor Stowo, returning to America forthwith. writing to the Boston Post, nays that tho respected president of Columbia Col lego has the prospect of ending his days in clover. Hi; wife had tho good fortuno to inherit, by the death cf a rolutho about a month ago, an estate cst'mr.tcd to bo worth some seven hundred thou sand dollars. Tho property comprises several en tire blocks of h"uee" in Idew York city, and in localities lying directly in the path of the march of improvement Tho lady is to enjoy a life-interest in the estate, and it h then to bo divided up among her share (six-thirtoonths) of President King’s children. Of course, tho other seven members of tho family, who called n former Mrs. K. mother, will not bo made a pr.rt of tho divisor, lho pro perty, in its present comparatively undeveloped state, commands a rental of not far from $lO,OOO per annum. John Di nyan’s Plagiarism.—A correspondent of tho Boston Courier says : “ Tho story of Bunyan’s plagiarism, copied into your paper of Saturday, reminded me of a pasaago 10 Southey’s Memoir ot the Life of Bunyan, dated March 30,1830, and prefixed to a revised edition of the nigrim’s Progress. Southey mentions se veral works, from whioh Bunyan had been most absurdly accused of stealing, and among them the ‘Voyage of the Wandering Knight,’ translated from the French of tho Carmelite, Jean de Car thenay, and printed during the reign of Elisabeth. Carthenay’a work was an imitation of a French poem, composed A. D. 1310, by \ Guill. de GuiUe ville, a monk of Chauliz,’ and entitled the ‘ Felerin do la Vie Iluxnaino. ’ Southey cays: “ ‘There is a vnguo general resemblance in the subject of this work, nnd some occasional resem blanoe in tho dotails, but the coincidences are such as tho subjeot would naturally lead to, and the Pil grim’s Progress might havo been exactly what it is whether Bunyan had ever seen the hook or not.’ “1 presumo ‘G. do Grideville* is a mistake grow mg out of bad penmanship and printer’s guess work, for ‘Guill. do GuiUeville,’ and-that the work found by Miss Catharine Isabella Curt is substantially the same as that mentioned by Southey. “ That Bunyan was the author of TheHolv War, I bolievo has never been doubted; and i? so, he cortAtnly was tho author of the Pilgrim’s Progress; for both aro as evidently tho product of tho same mind, as are Paradise Regained and Paradise Los*. Indeed, the marks of tho saipß mind.aro unmis takably visible in his sermons.” H. Y. THE. WEEKLY PRESS.

Slave Exodds in Northern Missouri.—A cor respondent of- the Huntsville (Missouri) Citizen says; “What Is to be the result of the present move ment among the slave owners of northern Mia, sour! ? Sir, if slave owners continue to send off their sieves to the South for the next fire yean as they are now doing, al! north Missouri will become freesoilixed as effectually as any Northern State. Why, sir, we have no negroes eo&rinr In from the other slave States, and yet they are going South by hundreds. We now are in the very worst condi tion we possibly could be In; we have not half as much slave labor as we need at present, yet ws have a sufficiency to keep oat white labor—just in a condition that we have neither the one nor tho other. What Is to be tbe result? Just this: if the other slave States do not send ns a supply, either by emigration or otherwise, white labor will eome in as slave labor goes out. Can there be no means °* 00rT ®®^ Q E this evil ? For myself, I can snggest none. The Legislature will soon be in session; can nothing be done for our relief? ” To which the editor responds: If slave owners choose to sell their slaves to go South, or anywhere else, they certainly have tbe right to do to, the same as they would with their stock or any other property. They consult their own feelings on this point, and if it suits their interest or inclina tion either to sell or keep them, we eannoft see that other parties have the right to interfere, and compel them to do the one or the ether. If slave owners ebooee to run the risk ©f obtaining white labor on their farms instead of slave, it is a matter that affects them personally, and they are tbe persons to decide the matter. So long as the question of keeping or selling slaves is left wholly to the option of slave owners, n&infioeneed by out ward pressure, its solution, in our opinion, is left in the proper hands. Col.

[For The Press.] The recent address of a large cumber of the leading Democrats of Philadelphia to the member* of their party, is creating a very great sensation, and gtoomy are* the forebodings of the Administration. The calm and dignified language of the address, together with the notorious facts which H presents, must have its influence wherever it is read. In eTerycity, north and west, the same proscriptive Course has been adopted; but in no other city, out side of Philadelphia, has the proscription been entrusted to snob feeble and incompetent persons. The masses of the party feel the truthfulness of the charge* made in the address, view with indignation the resulting from the actions, of the Philadelphia national officials. Every Democrat of independent mind hails the effort of the signers of the addresses the salvation of their party. The Federal office-holders are known to be malignant in their proscriptions, unless perfect accord and support be given to the candidates of their selection. A few fact* tflth which I am thoroughly conversant may tend to enlighten the Democracy fay'having them pre sented in the -sbspe of interrogatories, which, we trust, will be answered specifically by tho Federal office-holders: Did not the collector and surveyor of the port hold caucuses with their underlings and their friend* at the custom house for the purpose of se lecting delegates in every division of the twenty four wards, with the sole view of taking care of the individual interest of such official* in all De mocratic Conventions? Haro not the collector, surveyor, and post master offered places to Democrat* who were elected delegate* if they would violate the instruc tions of their constituents, and vote for the custom house candidate* in the Conventions and Executive Committee ? Hare not tho collector, surveyor, and postmaster dismissed officers because they could not conscien tiously support the custom house candidate*? Hare not the same officials prerented article* from appearing in the public papers, because inch articles contained censures on their conduct ? Was sot the Sunday Atlas taken off the presa, and certain articles lifted out, because they re flected upon the conduct of the collector; and waa he not privy to such suppression, on a Sunday morning, at 1 o’clock ? Did not the collector cause the removal of a watchman in the Mint because he refused to vote for the “Sharswood delegates.” and said, when pressed upon the subject, that “ the collector, from his inexperience, was unfit to take upon himself the management of the party in Philadelphia?” Did not the present postmaster dismiss a letter carrier because said carrier’s friends did not vote for a custom-house candidate for a member of tha City Executive Committee for tho Eighth ward?
