The State of the Union.
Daring the lifetlmo of the Apostles, before
that inspired band bad ceased from their per
sonal ministry upon earth, one-of tho greatest
of them complaihed' that while the Church
which he was addressing ought to tie teachers,
they needed themselves to be.taught the very
rudiments , These words of re
buke and remonstrance were written to the
Hebrews at tho very same period of the
Christian era that we have reached in the
era of tho Federal Constitution, and already
the time has come to us that we have need to
learn again “ wnat be the first principles ol
the oracles ” of our political faith and prac
tice. The Apostles and founders of our Con
stitution, who might be our instructors, are
gone from us, bat their works, and, thank
Heaven, so much of their work survives them,
that though they are dead they yet speak to
as. Whet they taught so earnestly, and what
they-did so well, It behooves us, in the evil
days that have fallen upon us, to study re
verently, and imitate faithfhlly.
- They established, and committed to our
care, a Federal Republican Government, for
tho preservation of the political and personal
liberty, and tho promotion of the general
welfare of the people of this Union. Through
a period of seventy years the institutions
which they gave ns have borne the test ot
practical experience, answering the hope oi
the founders through all changes of condi
tions as well as if every exigency bad been
distinctly anticipated and provided for.' The
nation has - lived to three.score- and-ten with
out discovering a vice in its Constitution, or
an incapacity in any of its functions. Oui
political system is in as good health to-day,
and as capable of benefleont uses, as it was in
Us infancy, but it has reached one of .those
stages of national life, at which a general dis
turbance of the vital forces, introductory -of a
new and higher phase ol existence, puts on the
tom of disease threatening dissolution. It
has passed through several of such crises,
renewing its strength on each trial, and in
spiring a renewed-confldencc in Us healthy
vitality. The anxiety which such periodical
disturbances awaken is, in itself, wholesome.
It prompts us to look back again to first
principles, and to remedy the abuses which
created the present danger by a return to the
usages which have heretofore secured the
nation’s peace and prosperity, ’
A- republic i» that form of government in
which the people are the rulers, but ruling, an
ours does, through their delegates, “ power is
constantly stealing from the many to the few;
and perpetual vigilance is the price of public
liberty.”' Its doctrines are hard to learn, its
interests hard to watch, and its self-repairing
torces bard to bring Into play. It aims at po
litical and pergonal liberty by means oi sell
government, and, In our case, at national inde
pendence, by means of confederation among
neighboring sovereignties in federal nnion,
extensive enough to guard against all danger
from without, while, securing'the domestic
rights and liberties of the partners by a sys
tern of nicely-balanced and, consequently,
intricate relations among themselves. Single
consolidated States, under popular constitu
tions, have fonnd it hard to maintain their ex
istence and seourp their ends for as many years
as our Federal Government has existed; and
oir trial has been additionally complicated by
the necessity ot adjusting the interests and
projects of many and considerably diverse
States, linked together in national unity.
A monarchy has no such troubles with itself,
and, on this account, boasts ot greater stabil
ity and practicability. History was its wit
ness and warranty until our Federal Bepublic
came into the field oi experience to vary tho
terms of the problem. The old-time republics
were either Bingly too weak, and too poor in
territory and population, to maintain their in
tegrity and secure general prosperity, or they
were too loosely joined to neighbor republics
to insure the advantages of political union,
and at the same time preserve peace among
the contracting parties. Tho States of an
cient Greece were, iu all their forms, only so
many confederacies, without any mixture ot
nationality in their constitutions; the repub
lic of Rome was only a principal government
domineering over annexed States held in pro
vincial dependency.; .the more modern Italian
republics were merely leagues offensive and
defensive, with no more oi unity than there is
in conspiracy, and no more nationality than a
common treaty of unity and commerce effects
between the most distant and dissimilar poo-’
pies. In a word, republicanism has never
had a fair trial in a fair field until this Union
put It. to the test of experiment.
But hero with us, in the best conditions for
its best trial, it haa iu own Inherent troubles
to encounter, and some encumbrances and
embarrassments to dispose of that do not
rigbtlully belong to the system. The natural
and intrinsic difficulties of a representative
republic are such as these:
There are exigencies in the exercise of the
elective franchise when the people can not
have an intelligent will in tho selection of
their public servants, for if the suffrages of the
voters were given only to the men who aro
known to the voters, tho candidates mast be
is numerous, almost, as tho social or neigh
borhood circles of tho whole country. To
-ive effect to this idea or requirement would
idmit the plurality principle in the election oi
National Executive officers, and then one of a
nnndred candidates, having tho merest trifle
irer the hundredth part of the people, would
uTplaced jn power, and could in no senso be
t representative or a delegato of the nation.
Hence arises the necessity for nominating con
ventions, conferences or caucuses, with all
:ho risk of giving to professional politicians
ind devoted placemen tho power to overrule
-he popular will.
Besides tho danger of misrepresentation in
ruch nominating bodies, the necessary con
centration of suffrages in order to give them
my effect, brings with it the necessity for
large compromise by the voters, which is, of
course, so mucb'sacriflce to every individual
opinion with which it conflicts.' It may hap
pen that not one man in ten shall And it pas
sible to cast his vote for tbe man who would
exactly represent him. He must content him
self with tho opportunity of supporting only
some major or paramount point in his political
creed' or policy, setting asido all others, and
he must satisfy himself, also, with tho caucus
or convention selection and endorsement ol
tho candidate’s competency and integrity.
Again, in all legislative ofHcers, and in nil
executive officers who have a qualified veto in
the enactment of laws, tbe voter must neces
sarily trust his representative to his own dis
cretion for Us exercise in tho greater part of
law-making; for, definite instruction is hero
quite impossible, to say nothing of its impro
priety.
Now, this statement, brief and imperfect as
it is, looks like a concession that representa
tive republicanism is a failure by its intrinsic
deficiencies, if not a delusion anda mockery
of fhe great dectrhje of*self-government by
the people, of which it proposes to be tho
legitimate and reliable agency) Compelled,
by the inconvenience, the Impossibility, of
making, construing, and executing the laws of
tho land, by the people en matte, in their pri
mary assemblies, or in any way directly by
their own voice and act, and driven, tbreugb
many dangerous indirections, to effect their
rule by delegated agencies, where trust may
be betrayed, duty mistaken, responsibility
evaded, and all imaginable checks disregarded,
what practically becomes of popular govern
ment, especially when, added to all these
chances of defeat, tho peoplo are apt to be in
attentive, and oven incapable, to a degree that
almost exonerates their servants from instruc
tion and accountability ?
Wo answer—and onr national history au
gwers, as well and conclusively—that in every
society or community where the standard of
morals iB high enough to take earo of tbo
general weiiare—where the intelligence of the
mass is sufficient for the direction of privato
life.ln a reasonably progressive Career—and
where, above all, the people are ol the tight
race Of men, fitted by their primitive organi
sation to learn by the things they have suffered,
and having the advantage of being trained
and disciplined for generations by the strifes
of tbe battle-field, the forum, the courts, and
halls of legislation, till they have graduated
into freeddm—such a people must be safe de
positories of thelt own liberties, safe princi
pals in a system of delegated administration,
because they and their fathers have earned
and achieved those liberties, and they
have been born and reared in the management
of the agemcies by which they are secured.
To such a people their pnbllc agents cannot
be dangerously urifaithfhl. They are, and
they know they are, responsible; and, al.
though their constituents are not very watch
ful, they will wake up often enough
THE PRESS.—PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, JULY M, 1860.
to keep judgment-day uncomfortably near
to the delinquent, and then, without troubling
themselves with critical or l&wyerly scrutiny, 1
they will say to their servants, “Things are <
generally; out of order, and you must surren- I
der the trust which you have evidently mlsma- i
uaged.” For however inditierent or incapable '
the mass of the community may bo in the
management of some ot many questions of
municipal and international a (lairs, they are
ever sufficiently aware of their own condition;
\hey know whether a policy' is good by its
fruits; their test is that of experience, which
is better than speculation, for it avoids discus
sion and escapes Bophistry—it is, in fact, the
Baeonian system applied to civil affairs, When
ever a judgment of them becomes urgent;
mil this always occurs in good time to prevent
great or permanent evil.
If a people will trouble themselves only to
judge the measures of their servants by their
effect upon the general prosperity, this pro
cedure is at once just and adequate. It the
publio welfare is safely advanced by measures
morally honest, which every enlightened com
munity is competent to understand, then the
administration is good, and under it they will
grow to better and better things as they are in
themselves capable ; but if disaster and dis
order prevail, no wise man would staid for
explanations and deiences. Tile short and
i rue answer is, that business admits of no
casuistry, requires no metaphysics, and nei
ther bad luck nor mismanagement allows of
tpologies, « Out with you; we put our affairs
into yonr hands, and you have tailed US; we
want guides that will neither take tho Wjong
track nor stick fast in the right one. Worthy
or worthless, you are unlucky at least, and we
nave had enough of you."
It ia difficult to deßne a republic in words,
Out it is at least a government which derives
til its powers (Vom the great body of the peo
ple, (the free people, perhaps,) and Is admin
istered by persons holding their offices during
pleasure to{ a term of years, or dariDg good
behavior, as Madison renders It; or, accord
ing to Hamilton, “ that It is a republican go.
vernment, in which both tho executive and
legislative organs aro appointed by a popular
election, and hold their offices upon a respon
sible and defeasible tenure."
7he responsibility and the defcasibility
open the opportunity for the restraints and
correctives of which we have beep speaking,
and it matters little to the ultimate security
md success of tbe experiment iu tho
bands ot sucb a people as opip, that they do
not really administer all their civil and politi
cal affairs at Bret hand. Their supervision is
none the less effective for correction, and this
’ operates generally as prevention; and at all
events secures tho well-being of the country,
so that lhtth neefl nof fail !i nt il some great and
conclusive disaster shall put it opt of eoppte
’ nance. In the confidence inspired by tbe
i past, we con look the present steadily in the
(ace, anij hope for tho future things still
1 better, in the exact proportion that the im
pending trial puts tho virtues of our system to
■ the proof,
Tho present embroilment of qur political
affairs has aroused us to an investigation of
uur securities and onr hopes; similar appre
hensions are doubtless stirring in other minds;
and thinking it a good and opportune time to
examine our Constitution, and look attentively
into opr rights and duties, we propose to give
our opinions and feelings upon this subject
to onr readers for their reflection, yto princi
ples, tho policy, tho compromises, and tho
history of tho Federal Constitution, as they
may help us to tho understanding and tho dis
charge of onr duties in the present exigency,
will be the themed for discussion.
Military Stjrengfl),
No nation, however rich and powerful, can
with safety permit its martial spirit to decay,
it may roll in wealth, its commerce whiten
every sea, its people be unprecedentedly
virtuous, industrious, and successful in their
business pursuits, but it it entirely qeglects tbe
arts of war, and has no faithful band of brave
and skilful soldiers ever ready to resolutely de
fend it, it is in constant jeopardy, fur tho
sword of ambitious and aggressive countries
will be ever suspended over it by a single hair.
The strength of a Government dope not con
sist alone in the number of its subjects or citi
zens and their aggregate wealth, nor in high
raised battlements and impregnable fortifica
tions. When it loses the ability to protect
irSelf thorn tbe assaults of foreign foes and in
ternal enemies, and when it becomes altogether
bereft of a nuciens of a powerful military
organization, it can exist only by the suffer
ance or forbearance of those who are capable
of destroying it, and no human foresight can
determine how soon they will exercise a power
which they are conscious oi possessing.
The cause of the extraordinary activity of the
Volunteer movement in England, is doubtless
the belief that her future security absolutely
requires an additional development of her
dormant military feeling. Her people realizo
that, however wealthy they may be, « when
another comes with iron ho will be master of
all their gold” if they cannot repel his as
saults. The Queen hersell enters in the lists
us a competitor for renown as a superior rifle,
shot, and however ridiculous we may deem
the arrangements which enabled her to “ hit
the bull’s eye,” there is no doubt that her par
ticipation ia military exercises, oven in this
trifling way, will exercise un important in
fluence.
The extraordinary astuteness and energy of
Louis Napolbon, and tho commanding posi
tion which Franco has acquired under bis rule,
form a standing menace to England, notwith
standing his repeated expressions of an earnest
desire to maintain peaceful relations with her,
and sbo acts wisely in preparing for any con
tingency, oven at a time when no apparent
'cause fbr rupture exists.
The old militia system of our Stato, which
undertook to make of every mau a poor sol
dier, having been wisely abandoned, it is im
portant that tho laudable efforts of those who
arc connected with tho volunteer companies
to perfect their drill, and to have always ready
for service, in any unexpected emergency,
corps of superior citizen soldiers, should be
encouraged. Wo are always glad to notice
tbo perseverance with which, under many dif
ficulties and embarraoomppts, this volunteer
system is maintained, and only regret that
American legislators aro not more deeply im
pressed with the importance of keeping alive
the martial spirit of the country. No one can
ioresee how soon it may be compelled to
rely mainly upon its volunteers for protection
from foreign aggression ordangerous domestic
Insurrections.
. In our own city there lias been quito a revi
val of tho military spirit within tbo last few
years. It should bo heartily oucouragod in
all legitimate ways. Philadelphia certainly
possesses men, money, and martial genius
enough to form tho best volunteer organiza
tion in the TJhited States.
The triumphal tour of tbe Chicago Zouave
Company through the country, will doubtless
do much to oxcito a spirit of emulation in
every city they vißit. When they arrive here,
it is to bo hoped they will bo hospitably enter
tained, and that such arrangements will be
made as will afford our citizens a fine oppor
tunity to witness their extraordinary evo
lutions. .
Hew York and Philadelphia.
Tho Philadelphia editors aro in no “ dis
tress ol mind” touching any falsehoods which
the New York Herald, whoso conductor is
tbe hero of a score of cowbidings, may bake
published about the police or other persons
during the visit of the Japanese Embassy.
No one believes the-playful bits of slander
which so frequently emanate from that foul
source. Another canard is that Philadelphia
is a village compared with Now York. Let
the next Census return show tho population
of the two cities. Philadelphia will certainly
exhibit a population of not less than 700,000.
Counting the actual inhabitants ot New York,
those who sleep in that city every night, New
York cannot have anything like this. Deduct
those who actually do business in New York
but li v e in Brooklyn and Williamsburg, up
the Hudson and on the shores oi Long Island
Sound, in Staton Island, and in Jersey City and
classic Hoboken, and Now York cannot fairly
claim apopulation of much more than 600,000.
A largo number that is, wo grant, but a great
deal less than the « million and upwards,”
which the Herald so. frequently claims as tho
aggregate of the aetual population of tho
immaculate and moral Empire City.

The Electoral Ticket.
In days of old there were « blind guides ’’ —
mou who strained at gnats and swallowed
camels. The race is by no moans extinct. It
is fully represented by tho followers of tho Ad
ministration programme in Pennsylvania. They
were terrible champions of “ regularity " but
a lew months ago, and no anathema was too
bitter far them to hurl against every indepen
dent man who dared to think as he pleased in
regard to the treacbories and tyrannies of Bu
chanan. Even now they are most devotedly
attached to the « regularity ” of tho proceed
ings of a subordinate State Committee, which
was seduced into an abandonment of its le
gitimate duty by the wiles of a few huckster
ing politicians, and of men who were
arrayed in open hostility to the re
gular national organization of the Demo,
cratio party. But @n a vital quostion of party
discipline—one which it behooves every
Democrat to consider carefully they are
totally indifferent. They are eager to cast
aside as useless, and worse than useless, ail
arguments in regard to the binding validity of
tho nomination of Stephen A. Douolas.
And why 1 Because they know that no
candid man can investigate the subject
without becoming ihlly impressed with
tho fact that his nomination has just as
much political legality, and is just as bind
ing upon every Democrat who bases his
Claim to that political appellation upon no
grovelling deed of subserviency to a corrupt
and infamous Administration, but upon his
adherence to tho time-honored principles of
the Democratic party and submission -to' tho
decrees of its only authoritative tribunal, as
if evory ono of tho three hundred and three
votes oi a full National Convention had been
cast in his favor for a hundred ballots. No ono

Ilntish Politics.
Lopd f’Ai.iiEcsroH, as Prime Minister of
England, has taken a very prudept litep |n the
difficulty between tho Lords and Commons,
touching a money-bill which the Commons
passed and which the Lords rejected. Mr.
Gladstone, who is tho Financial Minister,
carried into and through tho Houso of Com
mons a measure for repealing the tax of three
cents per lb. on paper, yielding about $7,500,-
000 a year. By < tho time that this measure
reached the Lords, it was known that, in con
sequence of tho certainty of a war with
China, the lobs of $7,600,000 would seri
ously inconvenience the British Govern
ment—indeed, Gladstone haß since asked
Parliament for a credit voto “on account” of
$19,000,000 over and above what he had pre
viously sot down ap thp expected expenditure
of the year. The Lords, led by Monteaole, (a
former Whig Chancellor of tho Exchequer,)
refused to agree to the Repeal of tho Paper-
Tax, chiefly declaring that tho public Reve
nue, with present and prospective drams
upon it, wan upabje to bear such.- a large
item as this. Then tho Commons appointed
a Committee to inquire aDd ascertain whether
the Lords, by precedent and practico, had a
right to reject any money-bill passed by tbe
Commons. Tho Committee reported, by a
very large majority, ((jpApstoas, Bhiout, and
Russell being alono 'in the minorjty,) that the'
Lords had long exercised the right of passing
or vetoing t(io Commons’ money-bills.
This did not settle the question,, anfl other
politicians threatening to take np the matter,
Lord Paluekston proposed the following're
solutions, which were agreed to by the Com
mons after two nights’ debate:
1. That the right of granting aids end supplies
to the Crown is in the Guinmona alone as ui| essen
tial part of their constitution, and the limitation
of all such grants, as to tbe matter, manner, mea
snre, and time, is only in them. j
7,. That althoagh tbe I,olds have exercised tbe
power of rejecting jiilis of several fle|oiiptioos re
latiog to taxation Dy negativing tbe whole, yet the
exeroise of that power by them has not been fte
quont, and la justly regarded by this House with
peculiar jealousy, as streeing the nght or tbe
Commons to grant tbe supplies and to provide tbe
ways and means for tbe service of the year. ‘ *
3 That to guard for the future against an endue
exeroise ot that power by the Lords, and to secure
to the Commons their rightful oontroi over taxation
and supply, this Hones has in its own hands tht
power in to i fnpoge pud ?pmJt taxes, and to frame
bills of supply, that tpe right of the Commons as
o tbe matter, manner, measure, and time may bo
maintained inviolate. 1 '
The Lords, it will he remembered, have; not
disputed that the Commons have “ tho sole
right of granting aids and supplies to -the
Crown ;”—they havo merely refused assent to
tho repeal, by the Commons, of a tax which
tho Treasury cannpt epapo. It- is admitted
that the Lords have frequently rejected bills
relating to taxation, Lastly, FALWEnaroN’s
final resolution only declares that the Com
mons mast, in future, draw thoir money
bills so that the Lords will not aeo anything
objectionable in them.- !
"j ho great majority of the Commons voted
with Palmerston, after he had showed Ids
pacific policy towards the Lords. Tho first
and third were agreed to without a division,
and a verbal amendment o( the second had
only 62 votes for to 369 against. As tho case
stands, the Commons aro actually doing pe
nanco.under the Lords’ rebuke I
Palmiebton, who is three-fourths a Tory,
does not want to quarrel with tho House oi
Lords. Bbioht and other Radicals do. Glad-!
?tone, who was a Peelito, and would bo any-,
thing to become Premier, sets up bis back, like
a wild boar, against Palmebston’s passive
line, and, condemning it as much as lie dare
—considering that Paluebston is Head of the
Government —dealared that the Commons had
a right to vindicate its privileges by action,
and that ho reserved to bimsolf an entire free
dom so to vindicate them. Lord Joun Rus
sell, who has a vehement desire to supplant
Palmerston, at once began to damn him with
faint praise, and to outbid Gladstone In libe
ral professions. Bbioht, who probably lias
strong convictions on this matter of privi
lege, also turned upon Palmkbston.
Tno conclusion will probably run this way:
Gladstone will bring in a second Bill repeal
ing tbe Tax upon Paper, which tho Commons
will reject —for they do not want a collision
with tbe Lords. Then Gladstone will retire
from office, mourned by few, tbr, albeit a man
of great ability, ho is very unpopular, crotch
etty, and unreliable. It is whispered that
Lord John Russell, Mr. Milneb’Gisson, and
Mr. Villiers will also retire. Tho two last
may, fur they ore Bbiqut’s friends, bnt Lord
John HubseLl, to whom office is as the very
breath of life, will remain iu as long as ho pos
sibly can.
Whatever changes may take place, at an
early period, the Conservatives will scarcely
desire to make a Government, though the
I’almebston party may be strengthened by
the accession oi a few moderate 'l ories, The
Queen iB said to dislike any immediate change
of Ministry, and, in all probability, Palmer
ston will continue Prime Mioister until hiß
death, it it so please him. For Mr. Glad,
stone to be Head of the’ Government, there
does not seem the remotest chance—at all
events, not for a very long thpo, He id a peßt
lant, ill-tempered, eloquent politician, but
unstable iu hiß opinions, and decidedly Pit.
sayite as a Churchman. Above all, though
his father died a Baronet, Mr. Gladstone is
Considered by tho British Aristocracy as a
mero parvenuc, whom they are not to allow in
the highest place. If Gladstone’s pctulanco
work him out of offico, a long time must pass
ere he resume it.
Unless Mr. Gladstone make tbe hostile ac
tion which he threatens against tbo House of
Lords, tho three declaratory Resolutions—tbe
first of which frankly admits that the Lords
are Justified by long and frequent precedeni—
will remain on tho Journal of tho House ot
Commons by way oi gentle protest. That was
what Palmkbston purposed, and he knows
very well how far ho can safely go. Next
session the Commons will not repeal taxes,
when money Is greatly needed by the State,
and tho Lords will give their courteous assent
to proper money-bills. To move farther now
would be like raising a tempest In a teapot by
using a child’s toy-bellows to agitate tbe fluid.
1 he 7 imes is getting np a real storm against
Mr. Gladstone, whoso Budget lor 1800-1
amounts to $357,600,000, and is now to be in
creased by $10,000,000 additional for tbo com
mencing expenses of tho war with China.
This money is to pay tha expenses ot a great
army and navy, and the 3 jmej asks what he is
going to do with the soldiers and ships ? It
sdfls:— .a To. toko Lord Elgin np to Tien-tsin
again, and to obtain a confirmation, oi the
treaty of 1858, or of any portion of that treaty,
will not only not be worth four millions,
but not four farthings. All that paper can
give na wo have, ir wo are to bo con
stantly making pressure with an army and
navy whenever we require performance of these
paper promises, advancing os the promises
are disavowed and retiring when they are re
newed, it will be very much better to havo no
ibreign relations with China whatever. We
must hold these people to their treaty obliga
tions, just as we should any other people, or
wo must let them alone. We must go at tho
bead of an army to Pekin, and Bkow this tru
culent knot of intriguers that wo can reach
them, or we shall have to perform this march
to Tien-tsin once every five years, till a wiser
generation springs up In England. What wo
protest against is, that Mr. Gladstone and
hia party should spend tho money necessary
tor tt firm and decisive policy, and give us in
return nothing but a weak and ineffectual
policy. Let us dp nothing if yqu like, hut
do not ask us to pay four millions ior no
thing.”
European Mutters.
There is very little news tram Europe by
the steamship fiorth Briton, which left Gal
way ou tho 13th instant. From England and
Franco scarcely any thipg, and a time-honored
proverb says “Nonewsisgood news.” From
Germany an indication of union, with Prussia
as the head oi the organization, instead oi cf.
lete Austria,
At Naples, as many as three Liberal Con
stitutions are on tho tapis. First of all
Voung Bomiia offered a spick-anil span netv
Constitution, new from the mint, so to say,
framed on the last French model —that al
allowlng a minimum of action and thought.
Next, a Cabinet-Minister remembered the
Constitution of 1848 9, which King Bomba jbe
First bad solemnly sworn to, arid put aside
with tho most convenient speed. Lastly, a
third party remembered that Lord William
Bestincic had made a Constitution for Sicily in
1812, when the English held the island. So that
was looked for ia its spider-webbed nook, and,
being found none the worse (or (he vyeaf, the
Sicilians are to have an offer of it—the Ne
apolitans too, perhaps.
GAtttnALDr, it seems, has resolved to besiege
Messina, and merely delayed the attack until
after the cessation of tho terrible hot weather
of Jffijy and August. It appears pretty certain
that ho has for the present relinquished his
purpose of invading the Neapolitan territories
un the mainland of Italy. Delays aro ns
dangerous in war as in love.

Letter trow “Occasional.”
[Correspondence of The Tress.)
Wasiunoton, July 24,1800.
A letter from the Hon. Lawrenee M. Kritt, at

which that somewhat ir&soible, bat generally sin

which the South ought to adopt in that event. The

Mr Keilt, it will be reoulleated, is one of the
most ardent friends of Mr. Breokinridge, and eynipii
chlzes with sqoh Disnuionists ss dir flhott, of .-outh
Carolina, ani) hj r - ¥*pcpy, of Alabama. There is
at least, in the cqurso he suggests tq tt;e Southern
people,n policy In entire haununy with the whole
Breoklnrldgo movement j for, if that movement is
not Intended to culminate in disunion, it ip a
shameless trick, and a.miterable fraud. All the
friendeof Brockiuridge are, by his nomination and
by their surrender to tho Influence of the extreme
pro-slavery element at Charleston and Baltimore,
ioextricubiy committed to resiet the inauguration
of Mr. Linooln, ehould thst individual be chosen
by a majority of tho votes oi the American people,
or by a majority of the States in Congress, Presi
dent for tho ne'it four years, Tbtio is' bo escaping
this foot.
Let os look at the matter la another light. Bap.
(cue Hr. Lincoln fairly elected President, and
suppose him to arrive in Washington for the par*
pose of assuming the office and dUoharging its du
nes, and an armed resistonee fa made to bis taking
possession of the Government! What then? it is
made by a minority—made without the slightest
provocation, but made because thoso who make it
pledged themselves to euoh a resistance In the
event of a Republican triumph. Mr. Buchanan la
in the Presidency, er, rather,-he is J[aatgoing out,
and he, too, is bound to yield to the' policy of the
Fire-eaters, and doubtloss will hold on to the trea
sury and the other departments of the Government,
in order to assist his good Southern friends. What
effect Fuob a demonstration will have upon'tho
Northern people, of all parties, need not be antici
pated. Of course, the end must be a bloody revo
lution, and the utter oyerthfbflf of thp pro
slavery despotism-
Ilook forward, however, to a peaoeftil solution
of this difficulty. The moment the conservative
people in the slave States are conviooed that Mr-
Keitt, Mr. Brcckurldgo, and other* who agree
with them In their present Disunion sohetne, are
resolved to resort to force rather than allow u
Northern man, duly ohoson President, to take his
seat, they will turn upon those who are now lead
ing them, and put tbom into hopeless oblivion.
'ihero is much more danger should tho Presi
dency go lutq the ffopse. fUero $ collision would
be almost cortoin, particularly if the House should
be stopped iu its efforts to eleot a man uoacoepta*
bio to the Fire-eaters. Lot a personal conflict take
piaoe under such circumstances on the floor of tho
popular brunch of Congress, and there Is no telling
where the evil wid end.
Five hundred thousand copies of Mr. Buchanan's
midnight speech, from tho portals of the White
House, have been printed by the unanimous order
of the Breckinridge Disunion Committee in this
city. Here is another proof that all who support
. Breckinridge are to support Buchanan, l>eo<t',j39
while going for the f-rst upon the ground that bo is
a truo representative of Southern rights, the voter
will be compelled to go for the second, and support
all his corruptions and proscriptions.
Tho Breokiuridgers roly greatly fur a heavy
support upon what they are plea red to oall the
ioiomeroial interests of Philadelphia and New
Fork. They flaitor themselves that every Bouthorn
man, now a resident of those cities, will vote their
ticket, and that all who desire to sell goods
to Southern costumers will quietly record
their suffrages on the same side. But
has not this poor game boon played out?
Do these men nut sue that the Northern merchants
uqlvo as thorough an understanding of the Southern
people as the Southern politicians and aspirants?
Che Douglas ami ||ei[ voters of the Southern
Mates far outnumber the Fire-outers who clamor in
the ranks of Breoklutldgd* and Disunion The
sontlmeut upon which Breckinridge relies to carry
tbe'Bouthero States is the feeling created by pollti-
Qians It has uot been provoked by any wrong at
tempted to be, or really perpetrated upon the South
by the Northern people. It is an insanity 01 the
moment, fanned and fired up for the purpoeo of
holpiog a few demagogues into office, and no more
speaks for the Southern, for those who ero eogsged
in itkdo, and coimneroorand manufactures, than a
ward meeting in Philadelphia, got up to help a
oonoUble Into office, speaks for the
body of people it) their own quiet
homes. I am glad to see that so few
of the Philadelphia merchants patronize this ri
dioulous Breckinridge farce, and that it is rather
left to craol -brained Poloniums, over-rated law
yer*, retired statesmen, dilapidated Whig*, and
well-paid offiolaJa, who accopt the duty of support
ing it reluctantly or a(j gqod joke. Tho
idea tbQt a Southern merchant would refuse to buy
goods from a Philadelphia house because that
bouse did not vote a Disunion ticket framed by
Mr. Buchanan’s officers, and backed by a set of
rampant fanatics, is un apprehension only to be
laughed r*t.
Of all Ihe traffickers und traders in the Bailed
States, greatest diflb is tho so-called "sugoof
Binghamton,” the veritable Daniel S Diekiuso*.
A more thorough beck, demagogue, and hypocrite,
never exited. His last speeob at the Cooper Insti
tute was 40 disgusting a tirade as to turn the sto
maob ofßtnneit himself. Ills attack upon thefriends .
ot Dooglutfut plunderers and corruptionists, is one *
of the staple impertinences of his olaborateoalum- j
ny. since the of the Government
hao there ever been witn ssed such a oonsistenoy of
fraud and wrong as that whloh has markednho
men in the pay of the Administration who support j
John 0. Brtiokinridgo ? And yet, with this foot bo- ;
fore bis eyes, Dickinson dares to soandalize those
who arc opposing theso men. So U the worst spe
cimen of a psor Yankee. Ilia appearance his
voice, and all about him indicate an utter absence
of sincerity or manhood Ills son-in-law bolds
one of the most valuublo offices in .blew
York, and possibly shares the proceeds with
him. After almost putting himsolf Into the Re
publican ranks by sotting up an extreme squatter- 1
[ sovereignty standard while ho was In the Cnlted
States renate—so extreme, Indeed, as to induce
Senators to laugh at him—he now comes forward,
arrays himself under the pro-slavery flag, and seeks
to hold others responsible because they do not fol
low him. I with I had time, and the game were
worth the candle, to collect the things this
man has said in favor of the right of self govern
ment In tho Territories, the doctrine of higher law
he laid down, and his general declaration that po“
pular sovereignty was an inherent right, and de
pended neither upon laws nor condition. But it is
unnecessary. It is given oat here that this huck
ster Dickinson refused to support Breokinridge
until the Administration agreed to allow him to
distribute the offices lu New York, and turn out
decent men. What a shameful spectacle!
It was well s»id by Colonel Richardson, in bis
late speech in Burlington, New Jersey, that the
custom house officers were reaping vast fortunes,
while tbo revenues of the Government were falling
off, and, ho have added, that beoause of those
vast fortunes too cffice-boldera have allowed them
selves to be used for the most scandalous purposes.
Who supposes that tho Breokinridge ticket would
have the slightest chance in the free States if there
were no office-holders toorganlre it ? Who supposes
that this ohattoring old soold, Dickinson, would
make his appearance If ho had not a son-in-law in
place, and if he were cot himself authorized to
turn honest men oat of position ? Bat for the
assistance of the Government, there would cot be
ten white men in the free States to hold np their
hands in favor of tho presont Disunion movement!
The indications are that an immense concourse
will attend tho funeral' of the lamented Gales,
which is to tako place thi3 afternoon. He will be
barlcd in tho Congressional Cemetery. Tho Pre
sident. members of-the C&bihet, tbe officials gene
rally, all tbe sociotios, tho typographical corps,
and the officers of tho two Houses of Congress,
will take part in the obsequies.

The Proposed Public Buildings.
It'or 'lhe Press.!
A writer tor your paper recommends the erec
tion of County Buildings upon tho northern part
of Washington Square. Tho Irst question in oon
si lerlug such i\ proposition is, whether any build
ings oan be erected thereon ? My impression is that
they oannot. This square, and the three corns
ponding ones, wore lelt to bo used as public walks.
If they were built upon, thodesoen4*qta of WU*
Ham Peuu might put in a claim foi, the ground.
Penn Square is ia a d‘ff j reat position, having been
left expressly for public buildings.
The erection of a new City Dali in one if the
divisions of Penn Square would render tho ereotion
of new oo&tt-housea unnecessary, a 6 tho upper part
of Independence Hall, and the building at hi fib
and Chestnut streets, oould b.Q qssd far the courts
and publio offices. M. E.

lumuced that there had been subscribed a ram

A Uiecastfion ensued upon a motion made by
John Campbell, of the Seventh ward, to adopt as
the motto of the Association the words, “ A dean
victor; or a clean defeat,” which had been adopt*
eJ by lhe Demooratio Association io the Second,
word.
Mr o*Byrne moved to strike out and insert In
stead the woras, *• No compromises or ooJiasioos ”
Others opposed the motto because it used tho
word d'.fent, and they did not thick such a word
should be broached duriog the campafga, as thsrw
was oo danger of defeat
Tbe subject was finally disposed of by referring
the question of a motto for the Association to a
coxnnjitteOj with instructions to report at the next
