A* New Passcnger-Rnilwny Route*

sinpas.no* any other city of the world-r-iu the
completeness and extent of her passenger
railway system. The experience obtained in
constructing fha numerous lines: which now
exist upon all on; important available streets,
established among Us a band, of : passenger
railway Alex in lera who, after they had com-'
pletely gridironed Philadelphia,sighed for new
fields tor speculation, which, to some extent,
-were found in Baltimore, the cities of the
IVeßt, and prospectively in Liverpool and
Manchester. As many of them, are still eager
for eligible routes, we expect to win their
everlasting gratitude by suggesting that the
Immense length of the Great, Eastern led
’Punch to. propose, at the time she was built,
that lines of hackney coaches should bo estab
lishedupon her, and as the superiority of our
cars to sdch.vehicles is universally conceded,
one of our entorprising.companies might make
a splendid hit by obtaining from the owners of
that vessel a chatter tor the construction of a
railway upon its capacious deck. The routo,
to bo; sure, is not very long, but when a full
complement of passengers Is taken on board,
it'yrUl bo very densely populated—and there
is something sublime in the idea that passen
ger rallwayism should bo mado as triumphant
; on sea as we all now acknowledge it to bo on
" land.

The New Nnlliflers..
TYhon Andrew Jackson was Preslrtont of
the United States, it will be admitted that tho
Democratic party was in a state of vigor and
efficiency, such as it h»3 never I'rliibiteci since.
It has boon supposed that this waa owing to
the Iron will of that groat man. Thin is a mis
take, dishonoring alike his blessed memory and
tho spirit ot a free people. Andeew Jaoe-
of tho Union,
and So’dfewio iiim aii tlio3o Democrats who,
like liihii thought that Disunion, Secession,
Nunification,'or by whatever name it was call,
ed, wqb treason. The might of Andrew J aokson
was in tho large love he boro to his whole
country, and in the unquenchable hate ho
hors'to all who loved the Union losb tho 1 their
Bcparato States.. Hio iron will was but tho in
strument of that iovo and of that hate. His
strength was in tho heart of tho people.
John’ C. OAtnoDN was a tnin of iron will
toOr-Bcarcely behind Andbew Jackson in that
particular.' As honest aa ho—bold, frank,
all taint of corruption, all sus
picion of his integrity. Yet tliia man, who
had no peer in tho Senate, t@ tho majesty of
whose high worth ol every kind tho Senato,
in.lta palmiest days, bowed—this man ot the
truest antique Roman mould,.representing the
Disunion sentiment of tho time, was crushed
beneath tho heel of Andrew Jaokson.
The Democratic party was then intensely
a Union party, and bo in .Us- heart’s cpro it
remains to this day. But after Jackson
passed oil' the stage of action, wo saw, under
his doganorato successors , that party gra
dually • loso its distinctive anti-nullification
(features, and at last under the epicene Ad
ministration of John Tkleb, with which the
Democratic party was guilty of an adulterous
love,w6 saw John C. Calhoun himself becymo
tho'head of tho Administration, and that Ad
ministration, which was the scom.of men and
devils, received tho general support oi tho
Democratic party. Tho party took tlio Greek
horse into its Troy when it received back into
its bosom John C. Calhoun and bis confede
rate Disnnionists.
Prom that evil hour the pomicions heresy
of Disunion has been striking its accursed
roots more broadly and deeply, into tho. Demo
cratic mind of the South and Southwest.
The more bold and offensive bocauso tho do
mands of those whose pretext being slavery,
thoir object Disunion, tho more craven and
spiritless bocause of the resistance to those de
mands on the part of tho Northern and West
ern Democracy. ! The fiercely aggressive
spirit of tho Southern Disunionists dominated
• both houses of Congress,'and the National
Conventions. They did as they pleased inside
of tho Democratic organization, and, precise-’
ly as their power rose, the Democratic party;
fell away in the free, non-slaveholding States.
Thoif violence made them apparent masters'of
tho whole South, hut it cost them tho whole
North. This was the very object they aimed
at. They had broken up the .Whig party in
tho South, and merged all opposition there
into tho Democratic party—what opposition
remained, tinder whatever name, in tho North,
could only bo a sectional opposition. That
was a great point gained. Tho next tiling,
and tho last thing, was to break up tho Demo
cratic party as a national party, and so bring
tho slaveholding and non-slaveholding States
taco to face, divided upon a geographical line.
They well know tho Union could not long sur
vive such a division of parties, and for that
very roason did their very best to bring it
about.
Now, the men who seceded from tho
Charleston Convention, in April last, are just
ihe ones who have been engineering, lor years,
to break up tho Union of tho States, and to
establish a Southom Confederacy. They are
the followers of that Calhoun school which
Andrew Jackson broke up in 1831. :The
groat founder of that school, and the great
iVeaidont who defeated all thu cSorls of that
school, havo both gone to their rewards, and
here we have tho strange spectaclo presented
of men, whose principles Andrew Jackson
denounced as those of traitors, setting them
selves up for leaders of Democracy, and of
men, whoso principles were dear to Andrew
Jackson as tho appio of his eye, thrust aside
from being such leaders. If they were alivo,
it would he as if Calhoun, with Ills principles,
had thrust Jaokson, with his, out of the Demo
eratieparty. .**
Happily for tho country, the secession from
the Charleston Convention wus a gross and
stupid blunder. Its effect was at onco to un
church tho seccders and to unrnaßk their de
sign. Thfe Democratic party and the country
owe never-ending thanks to God that their com.
tnon, secret, deadly enemies should have been
blinded to the consequences of thoir. mis
step in leaving that Convention. The moment
they left the Convention they left the party,
and bocarno instantly powerless to effect the
treason that is in their hearts. As 60on as
they saw what they had done, they set about
to retrace their steps and get back into tho bo
ttom of the party they intended to betray.
Foiled in lids, they drew off tho band of con
spirators and of blind tools who ignorantly
followed their lead or were yet leftinthc Con
vention, and havo had the effrontery, with thel
handful of Disnnlonlsta and doughfaces to
make nominations for tho Presidency nnd
Vice Presidency, which they call Democratic!
The three-fourths of the Convention which
remained, acting.nnder its call, purged of
these enemies of the Union and of the party,
proceeded to nominate Mr. Douglas, who
standß squarely and absolutely upon the broad,
national grounds oa which Jefferson and
Jackson stood..
Tho Seceders from the Convention, finding
that they could neither ru!o nor ruin the De
mocracy, prepared to try the next thing to
that—namely, to divide it—and so have nomi
nated Mr. Breckinridge, who Btands squarely
and absolutely upon the narrow, sectional
grounds on which Calhoun stood, but will be
pressed as a Union-loving Democrat by South
ern Distmionlsla and by Northern office-hold
ers.
The issue between Douglas and Breckin
ridge, then,'is precisely that which was between
Jackson and Calhoun, andis, disguiso itas they
may, an issue between Union and Disunion—
between the United States and a Southern
Confederacy.. Gan it be doubted where tho
Pennsylvania Democracy will stand ou such an
issue, especially since the withdrawal of the
Disunlonlßts from the Convention relieves the
Democracy from the crushing weight of
principles under which, in these lattor years,
it has been borne down throughout the whole
North? Thousands upon thousands of Demo
crats, who have been alienated from tho party
by these false principles, whose more manhood
rebelled agaiDst the insoleuco of dictation ex'
excised over the party by men whom Jackson
would have cheerfully hanged, will rush back
to" its standard, now that it is once again
thrown to the breeze, radiant with the good
old principles—now that the Democratic party
is happily relieved from the mad and dangerous
element of Calhounism. ’ -
: Tho gallant men who support Douglas in
tho South—and bo will bo supported there with
an iudGscribablo enthusiasm—have «taken
their lives,'their fortunes, and . their sacred
honors” into their hands, and pledged them
all for tbe Union, A 9 it is staked upon tho re
sult of.tliis contest. They know tho ißaue—
the realisbne—upon which they have taken
sides. They will stand by the side they have
taken, if needs be, to the bitter end. - All they
ask of us in tho North 19 to give them hero, in
our Northern States, the aid and comfort of a
generous, loyalj manly support to that candi
date, upon whom they are fighting tho battle
of the Union. IVhh na, here, In tho North,
there is no question, of Union—as are all,
of every shade: of opinion, except a few fran
tic Abolitionists, Union men. Not so in the
South. There the question Is IJnion or Dis
union; The Union men of the South have
chosen'their candidate. 17bat is the plain
duty 6t patriotism ? "What the dictate of com.
mon sense? . What can a Northern Democrat
do other than support Stephen A; Douglas ?
The Great Eastern Yesterday*
The New York Express, of last evening; says
that upwards.of 15,000 people visited the foot of
Hammond.street yesterday, to see tho Great East
ern/ They . wero all astounded at her great aise,
and there were no expressions of disappointment.
All around, numerous grog-shops wore springing
up, and tho : numbor promlm to, be very great.
One man pays 5500 a week for tho privilego of lo
cating a Ingar-bcor saloon hear tho ship, and others
pay from $5O ft week upwards for tho sameprivi
| lege. Dancing bear shows and other earloaitfes
promise to reiiove tho people of their extra six?
pen’cee., -
■ TheVWei will hot bo-open for Inspection until
Tuesday, and, in the moabtime.-n’ot oven members
of the press will b» allowed on board. Painters
are engaged in painting the vessel up, and, whea
the work It finished, people can go ou hoard at
fifty ooota a hood.
The Heated Term-Watering Places, i
.. The.old-fashioned proverb that “It’s an ill
wind-tbat blows nobody good”mightbo amend- j
ed,by adding that oven no wind at all sometimes I
promotes tho fortune of a portion of tho |
humnn family—a fact which all will concedo )
who consider what a potent Influence the pro- ;
vailing warm weather, and absence of genial j
currents »f air, oxerfs in accelerating tho do-1
partura of our cltizons to tho summer retreats j
thoy havo decided upon visiting. Tho tempo-,
rataro of tho last fow days has led us all to.
cherish tho sentiment:
“ AU-conquerinn hoat! oh, intermit thy wrath j
And on my throbbing temples potent thus..,, ,
Beamnmeofierce! inoossant stillycu flow,
Ami atill another forvant flood euoosiJdK,
. Pour'd on the head profuce, Invainleishi
And rentiers turn, and look around for nl^ht;
Nisht is far off; and hotter houis approach."
—and it has found frequent utterance in lan
guage much less elegant, but perhaps quite as
forcible ns that. in which tho pool of tho sea
sons couched it.
Year by year, as national wealth, luxurious
habits, and - facilities for travel increase, wo
aro becoming moro and more of a migratory
people, and tho number of those who fly to tho
city from tho country in winter, and from tho
city to the country in summer, as the birds
seek Southern climes .when tho ice-king
reigns supremo, and Northern ones when a
gentler atmospheric monarch resumes her
sway, annually increases. Already many spa
cious mansions havo been deserted, and in a
short time thoso only will romnin behind who,
by their necessities, fixed habits, business
obligations, or devotion to unremitting duties,
aro confined in their city prison.
. To supply this growing demand of tho peo
ple of our great towns for pleasant country
summer retreats—which Is only gratified to n
comparatively small extent by tho system of
social exchanges between country find
their city relatives—a largo, mitnher of really
superior and very attractiyo watering plaoes
have within the last ton years been firmly
established all over tho country, and all tastes,
whether for the bracing breezes and in.
vlgorating baths of tho. sea-shoro, or for
health-renewing mineral springs, or for cool
mountain retreats, or for. pleasant country
towns, or for rural solitudes, can bo enjoyed in
connection with all the pleasures, comforts,
and luxuries that, agreeable society and well
kept hotels can furnish. ,
Cape May, long the favorite and almost tho
only seaside place of resort for Philadelphians,
is still held in high esteem by many of its old
frequenters j hut the timo consumed in reach
ing it could illy be spared by many whoso
hours for recreation, oven in tho summer, are
fow and far botwoon. For the noble entcrpriSo
which connected ns by but a two-hours ride,
with tho splendid beach of Atlantic City, tens
ot thousands of our teeming population should
bo, and no doubt are, devoutly thankful—for
it was thatalono which completely popularized
sea-bathing, and rendered its advantages nnd
pleasures available to an immenso multitude
who could not easily, without its aid, havo
eqjoyed them.
The ftesh air and tho ragged grandeur of
the scenery of the mountainous regions of the
interior possess for many attractions superior
to thoso of tho ocean. They can find many
desirablo points in our State, trom which to
inaVo a selection,—high up among, tho Alle
ghenies or tho Blue Mountains,—amid tho
beautiful sconery of tho old Moravian rugion of
Bethlehem, or the famous springs of Bedford,
or at Ephrata, or at tho springs of Cumber
land, or at any one of tho numerous inviting
interior places of reßOrt, whereof duo mention
has been mado by tho proprietors, in the ad
vertising columns of Tna Press.
The Great Eastern.
Tho present excitement in New York, on
account of tho arrival of tho Great Eastern,
may bo taken as “ a second edition, with addi
tions,” of that which appeared twenty-two
years ago, on the arrival of tho Sirius and tho
Greut Western. The New York practice is to
fly off' at a tangent upon all occasions—to. go
off’at half-cock, as the saying is—precisely as
was done on tho memorable occusion of tho
Atlantic Cable, and, yet moro recently, on tlio
visit of tlio Japanese Embassy. By tlio way (
how cruel wss it of the Japanese to declare,
undor press ol an avalanche oi curious ques
tioning, that “Now York has much rascals,
and Philadelphia much gentlemens.”
Tho Great Eastern, however, is now nt Now
Ymk, in a mud-bank hollowed out for her
near ono of the piers ot the Nortti rivor—
though how the mammoth steamer is to ho re
leased from that position may bo a matter of
subsequent suspense nnd expense. She has
failed in making a rapid voyage,. Tho Persia,
Baltic, Vanderbilt, and other steamers, havo
been fully two days more rapid—hut this is at
tributed to her foul bottom. Such an excuse
must . not. pnss. If a race-horse, running
against timo, comes in later than hia competi
tors, tho allegation that ho waß badly shod
has no weight. But the matter of-speed is
really not tho main point hero. This Great
Eastern, though sho did not ran moro than
fourteen knots an hour at her best, Is tho
practical solution »f tlio great question—can
steamhoatß of groat length and capacity safely
navigate tho Atlantic 1 It will ho remembored
that the popular belief of tho fato of tho Presi
dent was that, being a lengthy vessel, “Iter
back was broken by her own weight, when
she got poised upon two great waves ot tho
Atlantic.” ■
That the Great Eastern will carry one half
the passengers (her limit is for 4,000 pas
sengers) she can easily accommodate is
scarcely to he expected. But blio may carry,
a great freight. But that sho will pay any
thing like a dividend on the capital expended
is not to bo expected.
Still, sho has solved a great and difficult
problem in oceanic navigation. Tho next
ship o! her class will bo better built, at half
tho cost of this one. .Perhaps, if Phila
delphia bo allvo to her own interests and op
portunities, tho Randall steamer will bo tho
next, costing, from first to last, not as much
as was expended in the mero launching of the
Great Eastern .
Public Amusements*
The Naiad Qoeen at the Aucu-sthert The
atre.— In New York, the advent ot rummer, eo far
from relaxing tho offorts of theatrical managers, or
tho interest of tho public in amusements, rather
stimulates both. The Broadway theatres aro now
all open, and all prospering finely, and tho succes
sion of novelties presented rivals that of tho “ re
gular season.” We question muok whether in that
city it will over again bo found to tho interest of
managers tocloso thoir houses at all. itßoetastho
simplest of theories that people most of all nbed
and dosiro entertainment when they havo little
work to do and plenty of time to do it in; and tho
practice ot tho New York lessees fs vouohing for
tho correctness of 11.
Wo believe that there la every sumnjor a largo
population in Philadelphia, ready to support cor
dially any liberal and attraotlvo enterprise of this
kind.'- Tho list of arrivals at sur hotels Bhows that
wo dully entertain a foreign fiadieuco of sufficient
also to make a very rcspectuble show in any of our
theatres, while there are thousands of onr own
citisons who would gladly avail tbomselvoa of any :
legitimate opportunity of summer reoroation. Wo
therefore aro very confident that tho experiment
of Mosers, Wheatley & Olarko in opening the
Arch-strcct Tkeatro this evening for a summor sea
son, will bo thoroughly successful. They have
chosen a very happy entertainment, and havo
gone to great outlay In Its proper preparation.
Tho “Naiad Quoon” is well known to many play
goers as ono of tho brightest and be3t of spcotaolcs.
It bno gorgeous soenio effects, brilliant drcs3e.i,
daufles, combats, illusions, and nil those foatnrcß
which delight the Ssnsea without fatiguing tho
mind. Tho rehearsals haro boon continued a much
longer time, than Is generally allotted to such
pieces, even in tho height'of tho regular season,and
& very perfect performanoo may bo expected. That
tho dramatic portion of tho work will bo well dono
the nnraos of Mr, Clarko and Mrs.,Drew sufficiently
insure.: "
There is no reapoii >by the. “Naiad Queen”
should not run until Septombor.

THE PRESS.--PHILADELPMIA, SATURDAY, JUNE 30, 1860.
WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE,
Ijeite* iVom ** Occasional.”
ICcrreßpondence of The Prec3.]
After tho nomination of Mr. Baohanan, in 185$,
John 0. Breckinridge addressed kirn a congratula
tory letter, dated at Lexington, Kentucky, filled
with tho warmost expiosaiona ot porflon'al and po
litical regard. Tho recaption of this letter was
navor recognized by tho President; on tlio'Con
trary, ho took every occasion todopreoiato and de
ride tho young Vice. In proportion as
ridge heoarno strong for tho nomination several
months ago, tho original Jealousy of the President
was revived, and made to extond to euoh members of
his Cabinet ns Mr- Cobb and Judge Black. Botweon
tho refus.il of Mr. Buchanan to recognize the
Vico President prior to tho inauguration, Und tho
growing strength of the latter for the regular no
mination of tho Benjooratio party, ccnrooly any at
tention whatever was paid to Mr. Breokimldgo.
You will remember a apoeoh ho made at Qynthia,
Ky., in 1858,.1 think, in which ho declared him-
Eolf to bo something of a, Euovy Nothing, in sub-
Btanoo as follows: “ That if iwo poisons, equally
worthy, the ono a native, and the other an adopted
oltizon, wore presented for office or appointment,
und ho had to ohoo3o between thorn, ho would cer
tainly soicot thonativo American.” Onoof the Ad.
ministration leaders, and now, I suppose, ono of tho
Breckinridge mon, J.C. Mathor, of Now York.is
reported to have come here to Washington, and to
have been somewhat industrious in circulating tho
story that, on nocoant of tho Cynthia speooh of Mr.
Breckinridge, he oould not get the Democratic
nomination, inasmuoh as the adopted oitizonu cover
would eupport him. Curiously enough, a oopyof
this speooh was procured by Mr. Mather, or some
oth;r agout of tho Administration, from tho files of
tho Washington TJnion or Co72.itilulion f whiio
the President, in bin sly way, was in tho habit of
inquiring or his political friends whothor it oould
be possible that Major Breckinridge had a
Know-Nothing speooh, Baying' that ho could not
boliovo it to bo true, although, a distinguished
Democrat from another State had told him that
itwnatruo.
As to tho declaration of Major Breokinridgo in
favor of Know-Nothing doctrines, this is a matter
ho will havo to Battle for himsolf; but the disposL
tion of the Administration people to demoteliw
him in advance of-tho Charleston Convention was
obaraoteristio, and showed they gave him no qredifc
for supporting them upon Locompton, and lees for
his hostility to Douglas—his sin, in thoir eyes, at
that time, was found iu tho fact that ho dared to
bo aoaudidato for President, and thereforo must
bo slaughtered. Now, howovor, that thoy'have
induced him to agroo to bocome thoir instru i
ment to. destroy Judge Douglaß, and con
sequently to destroy tho Democratic party,
tho warmth, of tho President for tho young
Vice can hardly bo. described. Mr. Cobb Is a
violont Brcokinridgo man; Mr. Davis, who has
been looking outforhlmselfor for Franklin Pioreo,.
is for Breokinridge; tho Washington Constitution
i 3 for Brcokinridgo, and ail tho oflioo-holders, who
havo boon ready to do anything to carry out tho
purposes of the President ogainßt his young asso
ciate on the Demooratlo'tiokot in 3856, aro now
extremely enthusiastic for Breckinridge. But tho
most amusing part of all is to see tho ardor
with wbioh Mr. Slidell, Mr. Bright, Mr. Ben
jamin, Mr. Huntor, and others of that sot of
men, support Mr. Brockinridgo; I boliovo there Is
a fable somewhoro writtouon on adroit old monkey
with a gray beard and loorir.g eyes, who persuaded
an innooent cat to lend* him hor paw, for tho pur
pose of pulling oortaln roasted ohestnuts out of tho
firo. Tho oat conaontod to the seductions of hor an
olenfc wooer, and ho took tho ohoatnuts, aud sho
eodured tho burning. Major Breokinridgo may
profit by tho example. It is too late for him to re
troat. He Ims before hioi a Sahara of political
sterility. Offioo will bring no charms to him. Six
ty years, instead of six, in the Senato will not res
cue him from tho fatal mistako he has made. All
his eloquenoo and caution will not convince tho
pooplothathe has not lent himself to a disunion
movomont. Ue haa accepted a cortain trust, and
ho must even abido tho cortain consequences.
Iho Ball and Evorott mon havo a vigirous or
ganization in Washington, and will do an immenso
amount of campaigning and olroulating of docu
ments from this timo forward. Tho August elec
tions in tho South and Southwest will bo very
bitterly contested. Nelson and Quartos, of Ten*
DGD3QO; Anderson and Mooro, of Kentucky, nnd
Winter Davis and Morrison Harris, of Maryland,
aud othora, aro preparing for tho coming contest
with groat industry. Boto were freoiy offered on
the Avcnuo, this morniDg, that 801 l and Everett
would certainly ofirry Kentucky, Tennessee, North
Carolina, nnd Maryland. The Republicans oro no
less sanguine. They bnve many able and prudent
men iu their organization, ‘ and have on ad
vantage in tho fact that, although a purely'
Northern party, thoro Is no division In tbeir ranks.
One of them said to mo, yesterday, Lincoln bught
certainly to be elected, as tho' Douglas mon prefer
him to Breckinridge, and tho Breckinridge men
prefer him to Douglas. 110 scoraa about tho co?ond
choloa of everybody but tho 801 l and Evorett men.
It is stated that tho reason the Prcsldcnt.did not
appoint Uon. Warren Winslow Minister to tVo Sar
dinian court was because tho latter was untrilling
tp tako tho placo, inasmuch ob it might bo regarded
as a eorfc of recognition of hia distinguished.services
as tho Administration member ot the, Govode Com
mitted.
. Tho conversion of tho Hon. Rogor A. Pryor,
member of Congress from tho Petersburg, Va.,
district, to tho Breokinridgo party, surprises ovoryi
body. Ho woo quite enthusiastic for Douglas, and
was almost constantly at, his rosidonco before tho
essjion of tho Baltimore Convention. Some in*
torest ia felt to cco how Mr. Pryor will excuso his
abandonment.of Judgo Douglas. The story that
ex-FreeidontPioroo has deoided to oorno but.for
Breckinridge ia not believed in Washington.' At
least three of tho raombors of bis Cabinot, ez-Score
tnry of tho Tica&ury, Mr. Guthrie, ox-Postmaster
General, judgo Campbell, and cx-Scorotary of the'
Interior, Robert MoClelland, have either declared
for Douglas, pr havo announced that ho Is tho r -
gular Democratic candidate
General Bowman, of tho Washington .Constitu
tion, is ia n sad plight. Tho law reducing the
prices of printing cuts down his Senate job ■ terri
bly, and tho other proposition to establish a : na
tiooal printing oßlco, opon3 to him a most desolate
future. Add to this tho determination of the
President to support tho ihlnority, irregular, So.
ce33ion candidate against tho regular DotfteCmtlO
Candidate, and tho cup oi'his misery may be said
to bo fall. General Bowman knows right well
that tho Democracy of Bedford oounty, in your
State, aro, almo3t to a man, for regular usages
and, therefore, for tho regular candidate of tho
Democratic party, Ktophon A. DoogUs. Col: Flo
ronco has allowed fits ncino to ho pUt Upon, tho
Secession Central Committee, greatly to tho regret
of Mb many friouds, This, of courso, shelves tho
Oolonol for reflection ia tho First Congressional
district.
Whore tho President is to go during tho summer
is not yet fully deoided. Bedford is almost out of
tho question. Our old friend, Mfjor Watson, wan
hero somo months ago, trying to induco tho Pru
dent to come back to his former stamping ground,
but tho lattor would not tnho tho bait. He Would
liko to go to Virginia, having promised Govornor
Lotchor to accompany him to tho White Sulphur
Springs; but inasmuch na it is rumored thalLetchor
may go for Douglas, and against Breokinridgc, tho
President may oompromiso upon tho Soldtet’s
Homo, and so get rid of tho difficulty.
Tho Dls'anlou loaders hero, Oobb, HHdell, and
Iho rc3tj aro exceedingly indignunt that Joku.lj
Dawson, chairman of tho Pennsylvania delegation
at Charleston ami Baltimore, fhould havo-en
dorsed Stephen A. Douglas. Evon bis Excolloncy
the President oannot rofrain Bnooring allusions to
Dawson, because the latter would not agroo to.play
tho part of a dishonorable man, by going into a
Convention for tho purpose of seceding if he did
not got his owq oandidato. I havo had oooasion to
complain of Mr. Dawson's 'course at both tho Na
tional Conventions, but it gives mo pleasure lo ap
prove what bo baa dono in submitting to tho.dj
cision of tho majority. His apocoh was a manly
effort, and ho pill bo sustained by his consdui*
onto.
Tho Republicans, in conOdont anticipation, of
their buocoss, are beginning to arrange for tho odn
struotlon of tho now Administration. Should they
fluooeod in November next, I havo no doubt thoir
Cublnofc will bo organized. Tho Ilro eaters of the
South havo booomo so iriondly to tho Ropubll4itB
as to prefer their candidate to Stephen A. Do.u*
ginß, ond no doubt will bo quite content, should
tho latter bo defeated, to allow Lincoln to tißsumo
tho chair of Stato. Tho trouble with all gcnml
opposition partios ban been quarrols among tboya
riotiß aspirantß for Cabinot plaow,nnd tho llcpubU*
cana ehould guard them3elvoa against this evil In
full timo. I havo beon oonsiderably .‘imusecLut
tho aßßuranco with which the' claims of ocrtaln
gentlemen lo thoso desirable po3ltiouß undor Mr.
Lincoln are hoing'dlfoueaod, but that they aro dis
cussed only goes to show tho confidence whiuh in
spires that portion of tho American people.
I havo scon it stated in tho papers that Mr.
Breckinridge intends going to California with’
Senator Latham. That somo such understanding
was had between tboso two gentlemen is undoubted.
Tho object is not political. They oro both young
men, fond of a roving and novel life, and so doubt
anxious to got away from tho vexatious conflict in
store for all politicians. Mr. Breokinridgo ooilld
loavo boro about tho first of August, and reaoh Cali
fornia in time to hoor tho indications of his certain
and overwhelming defeat without regrot, inas
lnuob as hb would bo absent from tho glorious Do
iaocraoy of Koptuoky, who feel, to-day, that ho,
has betrayed them by’ joining the Secessionists.
California and Oregon havo been olose corpora
tions for the Adirjinifltration party sinoo-tho doath;
of poor Brcdtfricfe, but Douglas has alwayo
been popular in tho firot, and Lane, tlioDlfiunldn
oandidnte for .Vico Preeidont, always unpopular In
tho'eccoiid. The question now arisep, whether
Douglas, as tho regular Domoorfttio oandiduta, will
not bo ftblo—partioulurly elnce tho American party
has taken new hopd, and will, thoreforo. leave
Adrniuistrationistfl in California—-to soouro her

Douglas’ Jjetter of Acceptance.
• WAsniNoroN, Juno 29.—Tho following i? Sena
tor Douglas’ lottor of acceptance of the nomination
for tho Presidency: ,
Washington, Juno 27,1860.
.Gentlemen: In accordance with tho verbal as
surance which I gavo you when you placed In my
hands.tho authentic evidence of my nomination for
tlipPresidonoy by tho National Convention of tho
Democratic party, I now send you my formal ac
ceptance.
upon a ..onTfifu! examination of tho platform of
orinclpies adopted at Charleston, and rouffirmed at
3altiraord,!wUh on additional resolution which is
in perfect harmony with the others, I find it to bo
a faithful .o'mbodimo'nt of the time-honored prin
ciples of tho Democratic party, as tho samo woro
understood by all :partioa in tho
Presidential oonteatuof 1848, ’52, and ’56.
Upon looking into tho proceedings of the Con
vention also, I find that the nomination was made
with groat unanimity, in tho presence and with tho
concurrence of more than - two-thlrda of the wholo
number of delegates, and in exact accordanoo with
tho locg-estftbllsbed ussgee of tho party. My in
fiesiblo puFp'oso not to be a candidate nor accept
tho nomination in any contingoiioy, except ao tho
regular nominee of tho National Democratic party,
and in that, case ouly upon oouditlon that tho
usages as Well aa the pS&oiplesof the party should
be strictly adhered boon proclaimed for a
long time, nnd became troll known to tho oountrv.
tfheso conditions having all -been complied with
by thefree add voluntary action of tboDemooratlo
masses and'tbeir faithful representatives, without
any agoncy, interference, or procurement on my
part, ifeol bound in honor and duty to acoepttho
nomination;
In taking this stop I 'am not unmindful of the
responsibilities it impOßas; but, with -a firm roll
aooo on Pivino Proridonco, I have faith that tho
people will Comprehend tho true nature of tho Is
sues involved, and eventually maintain tho right.
Tho poaoo of the oountry and safety of the Union'
havo been put in toopardy by nttempta to intorfero
with and control tho domestic affairs of the peoplo
in tho Territories through tho ogenoy of tho Pecto
ral Government.
If the power and duty of Federal intorforonoo
bo conceded, two hostile eeotional parties must bo
.the inevitable result—tho ono inflaming tho pas
sions and ambition of tho North, and tho other of
tho South—each struggling to 1 use tho Federal
power ohd authority for tho aggrandizement of Us
own section at tho expense of tbo equal rights of
tho other, nnd In derogation of those fundamental
nrihoipios of self-government vriiioh were firmly
vatablished In this country by the American Revo
lution as tho basis of our entlro. rcpublioan Pas
tern. Duriog tho tnemorablo period of our ponti
cM history, when tho advocates of Federal inter
vention upon.tho subject of slavery in tho Territo
ries hod well nigh “ precipitated tho country Into
revolution”—tho Northorn interventionists de
manding tho Wilmot Proviso for tho prohibition
of slavery, and tho Southern intommtionista
(then fow in number and without ft Binglo
representative in cither Housobf Congress) in
sisting.upon Congressional legislation for tho pro
teclion.of slavery in opposition to the wishes of ;
tho’people, in either case—it will bo rouiomborod
that H required all tho wisdom, powor, and in
fluence of a Clay, nnd a Wobstor, and a Cass, sup
ported by the consorvativo and patriotic mon of tho
Whig and Domooratio parties of that day, to devise
and carry out a lino of nolioy whloh would restore
peace to tho country, anit. stability to tbo Union.
Tbo essential living prinoipTo of that policy, as
applied in tho legislation of 1850, was, and now is,
npn.mtorvention by Cougres3 with slavery in tho
Territories.
The fair application of this just and equitable
principle restored harmony and fraternity to a din-,
traoted oountry. .
If wo now depart from that wlao and just polioy,
which produood tboßo happy results, and permit
the country to bo again distracted, if not precipi
tated into a revolution, by a Eeotional contest bo- :
tween pro slcvory andnnti-slavcry interventionists,
where shall wo look" for'another Clay, anothor
Webster, or another Caes, to pilot tho ship ol State
over tho broakors into & navon of peace and
safety?
Tho Federal Union must ho preserved. The
Constitution must bo maintained inviolate in all its
parts. Every right guarantied by tbo CoDßtitu*
tion.must bo proteotod by law in air cases whore
Icgiclation is nccossary to ita onforoamoDt. The
judiolal authority, as provided in tho’ Coristitutjon,
must bo sustained, and its decisions implicit
ly.. obo.ved and faithfully executed. The laws
must bo administered, and . tbo' constituted
authorities uphold, and all unlawful resist
ance suppressed. These things' must all bo
dono with firmness, impartiality, aud fidelity, if we
oxpeat to enjoy nnd transmit unimpaired to our
posterity that blessed inheritance which we hove
received in trust from tho patriots and sages of tho
Revolution.
With sincere thanks for tho kind nn l agreeable
manner in which you havo mado known to mo tho
action of tho Convention,
I havo tho honor to bo,

to talto ihd coosa3 experience much difficulty in
attending to their durios, in consequence of the
ab3oneo. from homo, in many cases, of tho bond of
tha familyiat tho time thoy make their vi3ita.
The marshals are thon oompcllod to get their in
formation tho best way tboy can from females of
the houso, and romoiimea domestics, where nono
of the family can bo found. Tho answers given in
oases of this kind aro anything but reliable. An*
other difficulty experienced is the absencoof muny
families from tho city, wheso houpes aro left in
charge of Forvnnts, woo aro often unable to givo
any information to tho marshals.
In order to romedy thoso evils, and at tho same timo
obtain oorreotnaewore, one of thodaputy marshals,
Jf. G. feickel, of the Tenth ward, has had printod a
•noat oireular containing a list of all the questions
to bo answered, arranged In tabular form, which is
intonded to be left at tho residences of the citizens
in his district, to bn filled up at their leisure, nlid
is afterwards culled for by the marshal,’who Is thus
enabled to got tho information ho desires, without
giving the oitizeiia apy unnecessary trouble. To
many who r hnvo gone out Of the ofty during tho
summer, Mr. Siokol has sent by mail copies of his
clroulnr. properly addressed, and In almost every
case ho has receivodnn answer in a few days, with
tho oirculor properly filled up.
Several of tho other marshals, upon learning of
this plan, have also bad oiroulars of tho came form
printed for fbo purpoßo of sending to thooitiscuß in
their districts. This is a good move, and saves
time, trouble, and voxatioh, no in ihaDy oases the
marshals aro often compelled to wanto muoh timo
in explaining tho matter to tho residents of their
districts, and In waiting for answers, wheroas by
leaving tho circulars a day or two in advance of
calling, to bo fitted up, no timo Is lost.

.Cofreatirmdonoe of The Frees,]
New York, Jane 29* 1300,
Political mattors, instead of quieting down, are ,
boiling pp afresh, Gy far ne our Damoorntio £tato
doctoral -ticket is conoerncd. Last evening there
wero hold mootings and onuousos of friends of ,
the rival Presidential- aspirants, and no little
vehemenoo was manifested in reforeneo to va
rious propositions submitted for consideration.
The older qnd wisor managers, on both sides, sec
tho paramount importunoo of maintaining but one
State and city organization, and uniting upon ono
tioket for Stato officers, members of Oongrens, and
county officers, so far ng that may ho possible.
Ttioro nro, nevertheless, many strong mon who
refuse to bo transferred, nolens vofanx, to either
candidate at tho diotura of Mozart or Tammany.
These are mado up mostly from tho yoang<*r mem
bers of tho party, whose political career com-
Tnenood after tho groat bolt of 1843. Prominent
among them—indeed they may bo oalted tho life
and soul of the young “ nationals” —are Gideon J.
Tuoker, late Secretary of State; the eons ofWm.
Bench Lawrence, John A. Green, and John M.
Jaycox, of Syracuse. Thtso repudiate the idoft
that it ia thoir duty to sneeze whenever Mr. Cross
well, Mr. Schell, or Mr. Anybody take snuff. Thoy
are determined to have a Breckinridge ticket at all
hazards, and have already issued thoir slogan for
that purpose.
, Another olass, embracing a portion of those de
legates from Now York who, in the Charleston and
Baltimore Conventions, voted-‘against Douglas,
whilo professing a desire to continue in and sustain
tho present Stnto and Tammany organizations, ne
vertheless nnnounoo their purposo to form - n
Breckinridge organization for the purposo of for
m&lly. ascertaining from the ascendant power in the
State Committeo, precisely what proportion of the
electoral ticket,will ho accorded to thorn. I un
derstand, moreover, that tho Bell men are very
solioitoua that a union should tako place, in which
case It is more than probable that a largo propor
tion of the old-lino Whigs and Americana would
unito in its aapport.
There exists amongst us another organization,
whosopowerisnot to be idly passed by in the coming
campaign. I allude to tho. National Democratic
Volunteers, an association of opulent merchants,
who.exerted a powerful influence in Mayor. Wood’s
behalf last fait, who want no offices, nod are reso
lutely opposed to everything that militates against
tho South. This association, last evening, hold a
meeting* :nnd resolved to support a straight-out
Breokinrldgo and Lano tiokot. Thoy repudiate
all alliance or sympathy with either Mozart Gall
or Tammany* "*You perceive, therefore, that so fnr
ns this groat Democratic city is concerned, nothing
whatever is settled. . •• >
In the rural districts it is different. There the
star of Douglas is high in the ascendant. I hoar
that an immonao Douglas ratification meeting is to
bo, hold in Utkm next woek. at which Horatio Sey
mour will preside and speak.
It has been pretty well nsoortainod that during
tho year past, over sixty vessels hove been fitted
out at, and sailed from this port, to engage in the

The Mrtchice in quostion was patented by Mr, Abraham

With regard to tho instrument ‘Ueslf. we may tf.ti
that wo have l-rstcwed upon it the attention dno to
