In a e country,' where the open ea
prpssion.of sentitnents antagonistic to the ex-,
istitig Government is resolutely prohibited,
where• free - discussion - or public affairs
cannot be -• enjoyed' except , by imperilling tho
Itherty or lives of those who indulge in it, any

ilres are burning; which thi4sten , to overturn
and destroy the existing. 'arrange
ments at an nntoreseen and unanticipated mo
ment, as suddenly as_ earthquakes sometimes
demolish or swallow up &lee.
To a ems' observer; or' One Unacquainted
with the secret 'springs of political action in a
despotic country, the Governteent appears
muolimore Stable; solid, and immovable than in
a free Republic like our own; forbore treason
raises its standard with - brazen eti!ontery, and
the, Moat bitter and emphatic denunciations of
the fuedamentaLlaw of the land, and •of the
Unfori Itself, dud unrestrained, expression.
While Fiance has*:been the imort .of revolu
tions.for the last three-quarters of a century--
while Constitution afterCeirstitutton hall been
establistkl; and change - after *hinge_ of the
most radical character has been made in her
Otiernment=Amerlea hag gone on unmered,
underr - the benign operation of one pernianent
national Constitution. And, yet thershave,,,
pe'ihapti, been a thousand times, more bitter
-public invectives levelled against the Union
and our Present system oreciirerninint in this
country than, in Prance, nottrithsteadhig. the
permanency and solidity of the one and the
mutability of the ether. ; ' ,
The sentiment , which in this cowitly de
_ mends a radical change has practically, so far,
contented itself with a Mere wordy expression
of Its" alms W and. desires; while •in France,
though similar feelings havebrieli' repressed
by a ;system of political espionage, and pun=
fished by.a series of vindictive criminal prose
cutions, they have still found effectual expres
sion An the revolutionary changes which in
turn drove the Bourbons from the throne,
temporarily established a succession of sea l
granary tyrants, built up and pilled down a
Directory, made Narotso* 'first a Consul
aria'then'air Emperor, s n lisequentli sent hlia
into exile, re-established the Bourbon dynasty,
then substituted
for it a . repreeentative of, the .
Orleans family; then. again established a
new- Republic, with Lbws Nieman as
its President, and finally • elevated him
to the position which hid
once been occupied ; by his great
uncle: While France,, notwithstanding the
snippression of free thought, and of free politi
cal action, which, tes a considerable extent,
'has characterized the administration of alther
gc:ieraments, has undergone almost every,eon
ceivable political change, the-United -States,
although fulminations against the Government
hive been freely permitted, and the Conatitu;
tint has been assailed in the most violent
terms, have gone quietly-on in their groat pro
gressive march—the masses of the American
people smiling, generally, at the absurdity of
those Who preach treason,- and etopping only
when their attacks become too violent to in
flict upon them the punishment of political
ostracism. •
- Meanwhile, however, the nation is, by no
means unconscious of the true character of
those rule-and-rain politicians who are Meme
l* enough to avow that their only regard for .
!heti country is based upon their power to
rule it, that if they can possess t 'controlling
power in the councils of the nation, end ren
der its destinies subservient to their im
perious will, they are willing that the present
form ofGovernment should continue, but who
-loudly proclaim that if they cannot rule it
. they will ruin it. The most trionstrone despots,
of the'earth would not disdain to assume the
character of 'American citizens, and to make
a llp-serviee professien of allegiance to its
Vonatitution, if they were permitted to exercise
suPreme control over its
,political destinies.
There is no merit in a citizenship Whie,h makes
the basis and condition of its continuance the
possession of controlling political power.
But, White , these threats have, under Some
circumstances, exercised an undue influence,
they have, under othere;' been most signifi
cantly rebuked and disregarded. Although
Bcomirrax, under the influence of a secession
threat, and a realer pretended fear that three
Sonthern States would -withdraw from the
Union, consented to Identify jumself with, and
to" lend /ill the energies' of his Administra:
Mon to 'enforce, an act of. unmitigated fiend,
such threats were utterly powerless when le
velled.against the mighty breast of Asonzw
Louses, and were met: by a stern resistance
which awed 'the enemies of the Union into
silent humility.
Threats of disunion aro cheap weapons of
political warfare, and can be uttered by any
partisan reckless enough to indulge in them,
but the history of our country is NI of perti-
nent examples of the - practical difficulty of in
augurating bone fute measures to enforce them.
When the disunionist; grow weary of their
repeated harangues against the Union, and
commence assailing it by positive action, the
Weakness and folly of their schemes are fully
disclosed. -
We have, at the present day, a practi
ad secession movement in the full tide
of unsuccessful operation. South Caro
lina, a State which is the representa
tive of the..,Centrifegal sentiment of the
nation, end :la animated by ,an apparently
ineradicable disposition to war .with its can
tripetal force, has despatched her mandate
throughout the Union, for the 'parpose of
taking measures to realize the -- disunion' de
signs she hat; soloag and so freely, expressed.
While in any other country an effort to break
up the existing Government would be treated
at once with condign punishment, under our
free system • it is -viewed with comparative
indifference, _for the American peepli are
quietly- looking on to - witness the .dhacorn-
Itture which will inevitably attend her move
ment. , We alluded yesterday to the action of
the -;Virginia Legislature 'ln reference to
it, and to the' emphatic Mirka of disapproba
tion which had been evinced in the Maryland
Legislature. While Virginia - thus turns a
comparatively dull, cold ear to the disunion
scheme; while Maryland indignantly spurns'
it; 'while Tennessee and, Kentucky, without
taking practicalictlon refeience to it, show.

The /Future of Italy.
In a letter addressed by the Emperor NA
POLEON to the Pope, the latter Sovereign is
candidly recommended to make a virtue of
necessity, by surrendering the Romagna and
adjacent Legations, the maintenance of which
has been a constant trouble and expense to the
Papacy during the last fifty years. That is, to
consent to a sacrifice of part of his territory,
for the purpose of preserving the remainder.
The 'Pop; strongly objects to this, but there is
every prospect that to this complexion it must
'come at last.
- Oa the other hand, the remaining difficulty
is—what shall be done with the Duchies. Me
dena,,whatever may happen, will not consent
to take back her late ruler, the Grand Duke,
who is branded in the eyes of the world as a
common thief, having plundered the public
treasury of its last lira, having put the silver
spoons in his pocket, and having actually un- ,
acrewed the silver door-handles from the Ducal
, Palace, and carried them off in his carnet-bag.
For hot, there is reasonably no chance. As
'regards Parma, the Duchess-Regent is in the
Condition of a party who was knocked down
because he had el no friends," Bbe is sister to
tho Corint de Chambord, who claims, as head
of, the elder branch of the Bourbons, to be
Heater V. of Franco, by divine right of legitl
macy;', This relationship with an insignificant
Pretender cannot advance her interests with
Napoleon and,, moreover, her letters, from
1818 to 1869, in which she mentioned NAPO.
LNOX 111 , tame of the greatest contumely and
hatred, have' turned up since the Italian war,
and, we suspect, have effectually disposed of
Air pretensions. For, undoubtedly, the sek
tlement of Italy cannot take place without
Naroumr's full concurrence.
As regards Tuscany, the largest and most
important of the Duchies, it is to be remem
bered that, last July, LNOPOLD 11. abdicated in
favor of ids son, now titular Grand Duke under
the name of Faapplaun He is en Aus
trian prince, and we find ft /dated in foreign
journals that the Emperor of A.ustrle, heart-sick
of Italy, and greatly-in want of money, was
willing, a few weeks , ago, to cede Venetia to
PERDINAIIP IV.;•‘ith the obligation of paying
a certain sum to be peed upon, and FRAITIB
IV in his turn exchangft Venice for Tus
calk; the first being annexed to Sardinia, to
gether with the debt belonging, to it. The
Sardinian (lori3rument took the matter into
consideration, and agreed that the maximum
price which - could be paid kr Venetia was
409,090,000 lire (about £8,000,000.) The fa
meals -French Antipapal pamphlet and NAPO
iEOIOI recent letter to Fos IX. have stopped
the ,negotiation, 1t Is said. But nothing is
more likely than that the eamn i eement will be
carried out. England and Frans.° would un
hesitatingly lend the money to VICTOR. EM
MANUEL, Who would thereupon have Tuscany,
Modena, and Parma added to his dominions,
already increased by the recent accession of
Lombardy, and thus become the greatest ruling
power in Italy,
Such is our future of Italy, and we think it
is probable as well as possible.

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE.
Letter front se Oceastonal.”
lOorreseondenee of The Press.)
WASHINGTON, Fob. 7, IWO.
Doubtless the readers of The Press have more
than once inquired what has become of "Oen.
alonal;;;" hut if they could have been present with
me during the meats of the week which closed with
the election 'of Mr. Forney en Friday evening,
they would have seen how impossible it was to
maintain the regularity which, notwithstanding
the name over which I write, has charaoterised
this correspondence. Men seemed to have thrown
away their pens and to have given tbemeelves up
to the joyous excitement of the times. Those who
rally around the editor of The Press know well
the peculiarity of his position, and could appre
ciate the doubt'that hung over hie ease. Dating
fhiportuned no single Representative for 'his vote,
and having distinctly refused to make any pledges
to sense the position for which he was named, he,
himself, constantly declared that he did not be
lieve ho would be elected. The Administration of
the Federal Government hooted at the idea that a
man occupying so independent a relation to the
mixed polities of the country could be placed in so
elevated a position.
You may Imagine, therefore, the satisfaction ex
perienced by the friends of Col. Forney on the one
hand, and the consternation and mortification of
the official influence on the other, when, on Friday
the third day of February, ho was formally chosen
'Clerk of the Homo of Representatives. If I un
derstand his programme, It is his purpose to re
cognise the sentiment upon which he has tri
umphed ; in other words, to confer the just por
tion of his appointments upon the Republicans or
general Opposition, taking care to pay a proper
tribute to that indomitable spirit of hostility to the
proscriptions and corruptions of the Federal Ad
ministration, and of deep and ineradicable dove
don to the eternal principle of self-government, of
which The Press is probably the most fearless'and
disinterested organ. The number of applications
for Oleo already presented to him is great: Ills
rooms are crowded day and night, and yet, through
all, be bears himself with singular frankness and
equanimity. Re shows those who appeal to him
how many appointments be has In his gift, an
nounces his determination as I have stated it, and
then declares that if be cannot give satisfaction it
will not be because he lacks a disposition to pro
vide for all applicants, but only bemuse there are
not offices to gratify every expectation.
His ambition is to leave the Clerkship as be left
it in 1856, with an unspotted record and clean
hands; and in doing this it will be his study so to
discharge the 'duties of the place, end to adminis
ter its various functions, as to prove that, however
indifferent he may be to his own interests, he will
be vigilant in protecting those of the Government,
and vigorous la entomb:l the diseiplinepf the gen-
Comm eonneoted with him.
It would be doing hiplines to Mr. Forney if I
did not express to his thousands of friends and
iympathisers, in his own State and elsewhere, that
his triumph has been received here with almost uni
versal pleasure. Ryan those who have persecuted
him most bitterly monied° to him uncommon abili
ties, and confess that be has managed his own ease
with rare skill and success. In the city of Wash
ington, including the resident population, no event
has ever inspired more general rejoicing. I leave
tdotbers the comment which this result must sug
gest. I will not lift the veil before the heart of
James Eirwhmeap, es be sees the man whom he has
proscribed and persaankead•gter having accepted
his unselfish friendship for more thankwenty years,
when that man comes bads ainiost within the sha
dow of the Presidential palace, strengthened I; hie
position at his own home, and made strong in the
Panoply of an almost spontaneous endorsement, In
the face of a emgdatent and madly refusal to make
humiliating committals.
Mr. Buchanan is, I am told, extreatly indig
nant at what he regards the insult thus put upon
his dignity. It Is related of hint, that when he
heard of too 4eoiston of the Musts as to the
Clerkship, he broke out o torrent of invective,
using terms not the most polite, and Id:lowing how
true it is to have, as Byron expresses it, o former
friend for foe,", the affection of years mon being
lost in the acerbity and bitterness that have sup
planted A. jlis organ, the Coast/ea/son, con
dueted by a /self-1;040d British nobleman, has
exploded in 'columns of eiktvial wrath upon Mr.
Forney. This was to bare 4e.en a pealed. ft
needed but this to complete the vatic mod.
needed only the calumnies and erases of the Pre
ddent's own organ to crown the column of the
vindication of the editor of The Press ; for when
the Pracislept determined to make a test of his
own treachery, rol. to punish all who, like him
worta pot aonsant. M It! of unparalleled
treason, it t i,tft right and pin* hat ho
should employ the basv k tnitrinaenis io 1011
vent to his malignity, and !` w " 941119
right that these instruments should be .
selected as that they might sympathetically
oerform the disgusting task set before them ;
in a word, it was right when he raised his
mantle° arm for the purpose of • annihilating the
coneeerated principle of talf-governmont, he should
bring to this capital a man who, while attacking
that principle, is daily paying a tribute to the British
Government, from which ao east..l.
can morally Bever him, and against which the
American Colonies revolted when Great Britain
refined to allow the people of those Colonies the
right to form and regulate their domestic inatitu-
Lions in their own way.
Of course, the other organ of the President, the
New York Herald, is no lees indignant. The sen
sibilities of the Herald are naturally excited. It
thinks that Forney's speech, on Friday evening,
was an outrageous and vulgar display. Pardon
no, Mr. Bennett, when I assure you that, if it
sould have been made up of your own comments
m Mr. Buchanan, in 1856, then your appreciation
said have been just, but it ill becomes ono who
sits in the habit of using against Mr Buchanan
every epithet that could be employed to defame
his character, public and private, to setup s stand
srd of newspaper or political morality, and to in-
ledge in an ecstasy of anger over that which was
the outpouring d e an honest heart, glowing with
the sense of vindicated integrity, and inspired with
consolonsness of an upright triumph over a most
unprecedented proscription.
It is astonishing bow soon the fire-eating fury
sapired when the House was organized by the
election of a Speaker and of a Clerk. Even a rebel
Democrat feels that he can now speak out on the
streets ; and to have opposed the Administration
bas become so fashionable that many who have
heretofore been silent have suddenly found their
tongues. The Union is as safe as if it had received
ti now lease from Heaven. The Southern politi
cians occupy their Beats as quietly and gracefully
is if they intended to occupy them forever. We
bear no voice of dissent. The business of both
branches has begun to move as easily as if all its
vast machinery had been newly oiled. Presently
we shall see the South laughing at its own panto
mime, and declaring that all it robustiotts con
fusion wee only a theatrical play—a kind of
Chinese warfare, " Intended to fright the acid® of
timid adversaries." In a few days issues will be
changed ; the opposition to the Administration will
be eonsolidated,and the curtain for the Presidential
campaign will be rolled up before the eyes of the
Amerio an people. When that time comes, " Occa.
atonal" will be on hand as usual, and I trust as
punctually as before. 000ASION/L.
Letter from " Rack Richards."
(Correspondence of The Press.]
WASHINGTON. Feb. 7, ISSO.
The House is not in session, but the floors are largely
occupied by members, chiefly on the Republican side.
The lobbies are dark with applicants for office, and
chose interested in getting officee for their friends and
fellow•ei tisane. Pitting quietly in one of those corners
or standing edgeways in a door-ooze, might the student
of human nature find a prone field of observation,
Doctor Redfield, the physiognomist, whose persistent
devotion to the comparative anatomy of the facial lines
and angles, and hie deductions therefrom, have made
him the American Leveler—that is,Lavater with all the
modern improvements—he would rejoice over the pa
tient panorama presented by the lengthening line of the
features of would-be oiftoe•holdsrs. Prominent in the
group, fait low-voiced with fiOnt pleasantry, are the re
tina: officiabr Of course, they had hopes of being re
tained until the last inocont; and their patience and phi
losorihy, under the salt-imposed stubbornness of belief in
the impossible, is commendable to a high degree. Col,
Carter, late chief assistant to the clerk, perambulates his
Office in a ghostly manner, after the most approved fash
ion of thine in the other worldwho hold communion with
portions of this, witfityhmh in their life', history they
held affectionate and mug relations. In strong contrast
to the shadowy movements of Carter, is the undisturbed
equanimity of Barry Hayes, Esq., who, straight as a
pillar of the popular branch of the Government, looks
es though he wee calmly getting himself into a proper
position to contribute his support to the feline of legisla
tion.
. Col. Forney is the subject and object of huge piles of
affectionate attentions from "the most respected and
respectable classes of his fellow-eiti gene." Crowds are
anxious to testify their opinion of hie past, and sympathy
with his present position, by sharing with him the labors
of his distinguished office. Borne suddenly see the cor.
realness of his views; others, it is needless to say, have
always ardently endorsed them. 'then, again, a few
honestly differ with him on some points—very trivial
ones—but cannot withhold their thorough approval of
his manly course against the despotism of a corrupt
Administration. Others. better posted them all, have
always regarded Mr. Buchanan as a dangerous man,
known John Forney to have been for years a most fear
less and consistent champion of the people's rights, and
knew that the day would coma—for come it would—when
he would discover what Mr. Buchanan was made of.
tinder the pressure of these kind friends, sympa
thisers, well-wishers, and benefactors, you may ima
gine how Col. Forney is bowed down. t takes his most
able self-sacrifice to deny himself the privilege of ao
misting all the aid tendered to him. Though ever at
the service of his friends lie shall have to make a
desperate effort to be save d them.
The franking privilege is being discussed in the
Senate, and Rale thought it was an artful dodge to have
it abolished by the but of May, inasmuch as it would
then have served to scatter Democratic documents for
the April Convention, and be, in every sense, a
dead letter to the Republicans, whose Convention crimes
off in Juno. Toombs disclaimed any such intention, but

in Montgomery county to depute private persona to
nerve writs in civil caste," whiish is of considerable tin
portance to the people of that county. It states that
groat inconveniences often arise, in the administration
of Justice in civil cases, on account of the absence,
sickness, or inability of the proper constable to ant in
serving writs, and parties in litigation are thereby fre
quently subjected to groat delays; for remedy of which
it is proposed that the Justices of peace in Montgomery
county shall have the power, in case of the sickness
absence from home, or inability of the proper constabb;
to act, to depute any private citizen of the county. and
of the neighborhood, to serve writs and summons in
t he earn, manner, and with the same effect, as lthe pro
per constable could do, and the deputation shall be en
dorsed over the hand and seal of the justice so deputing.

CITY ITEMS.
After at that has been and about" non ITterconrse,"
and the diminution of our mud Southern trade, it is
gratifying to find that the sales of our mercantile
Imams to the South have thee far net fallen beh:TTI
those of former seasons, but that. on the contrary.
where proper preparations have been made, they show
&decided Increase upon lass Tear. This is sisecislipe
true of our commission hnusea. and we hare no mown
to doubt that the same will apply to oar Jobbing trade.
as the season advances, sod the time for active opera
tions arrives We do not know that this is in all re
spects a representative fact ; but it has its sisnificinee,.
that the sales of a single firm here, Mealier Little,
Stoked. k C 0.,) have, during the lest month, beep
more than doable by &wend thousand dollar., their
.Tanuary isles of say previous year. We have 5:48.3
taken pains to ascertain whether the sectional prelndteca
feared, are bolus to any extent indicated by Southern
Num, and have reason to believe that, with very Tyra
exceptions, besieges. not po'i tics. is their first Oblast of
attention. One firm assures us that of a barge number of
custamers from south of 34/.1 aid Dixon's line, but
egle one has made any allosion to the non int./
emus* bugbear. from which the firm in question col
eludes that the existence of this ferlin; is mainly in the
brains of its political onginatom.
As we predicted a few day. 4;o, the pnneiple
vantages of the present season are likely to be realised
by such u have not made the necessary precnrations
for trade when it comes. The unusual nativity of the
house absve referred to, Messrs. & Co.. is an in point. T heir magnificent stock of goods this
season has doubtless been the chief soarer of their
largely-increased trade. Tait house, by the way, is
widely known as the 4gotoT in this market for the rile
of goods manufactured by the Pacific Mills, sod for all
the exquisite pnated [elicits made by James Black &
Cw, London. Their lines of Pacific good' in store At
this time are vastly superior to the pmdeettrous of this
company of 447 farmer seams. Ths principal fabric •
produced by them are prints, lawns. de Weer, and
amines. Of these. the Infused de Lainsa are worthy
of spacial remark for their b.autr of design. freakiest
'of styles, and omerier•xecation Boma of the latter
imitate more nearly fine forei:n ell-wool goods. in
style and finish, than any other onion cords we have
ever examined. Thal; levee, also, embrace an almost
endless variety of styles. in whleh get tomes largely
prevail, although robes and sidebands, nod a few arrrpos
are al 0 *moat them, and are going oft" briskly. Tole
company is also briefing out a •' new thing under that .
sun," to be called •• hdhtineea.'• The advance {amp , es
which we have examined are very lasautiful, and w:11
doubtless be popular. In texture they are between
chatty a-d d bone. ard ara I good imitation of the
splendid French foulard*.
The James Black k Co. kW& are Weal fine tome,
in organdies and p•ain, rho st.les in many carpet rally
walling the French goods sold a' more than double
their cost. These cZebrated lawns are too well known
to dry-goods dealers ever where to require comment.
We may be permitted to tan however. is ea-elusion.
that the present stock of them now offered by ?deur&
tjttle. State, & Co., far eicaeas la merit the ovedae
