It le often the dictate, both of the highest
wisdom and of the commonest prudence, to
iakif coianietfrom our enemies, and to correct
our own errors by their example. Mr. Mc-
Diann; whopecupies the post of Chairman of
the Opposition State Central ComMittee, as
the foregoing announcement clearly proves,
has a just and proper appreciation of the
duties that were imposed upon him by
the body from which be derived his appoint
ment. The electors, whose names appear in
the foregoing announoement, were chosen
prior to the meeting of the Republican Na
tiehaTOonveritien at Chicago, and the sole and
exclusive duty of 'Mr. hitiOxtras was, to ascer
tain Trent. the Cantors themselves their wil
lingness, in Case of their election, to cut their
anffingsa for the nominees of that body, with
out any condition, proviso, or reservation
whelks:Ter. This duty he ins discharged—
nothing more, nothing leas-rand communi
cates the - rest:tit to the voters of Pennsylvania
hi the' foregoing 'toffee, alike brief and satis
factory, and according to universal usage, in
all such cases made and provided.
Deeply is it to lie regretted that Mr. Weasel
the Chairman o f the Democratic' State Contra
Oodimittee, appointed by the, State Conven
tion, held at Reading, under the dominion of
evil counsels, has seen lit to adopt a different
course. Els duty was equally plain and clear.
it was the prompt and honest discharge of a
simple ministerial act, such &s devolves upon
a clerk, who is carrying out, for the sake of
convenience, the instructions of his principal.
The Demoaratio Electors were nominated at
'Reading, by a regular State Convention, like
wime prior to the assembling of the National
Convention. and with no other view under the
wide - heavens than to abide the will and wish
of the latter body, whenever its nominations
should be declared to the country. That
body hiving nominated, as fairly and honora.
bly as ever any candidates were presented by
any previous convention, STEPHEN A. Dou.
oLts for the Presidency, and liansenaL V.
JOHNSON for the 'trite Presidency, the course
of Mr. Warm' was as clear and as unmistaka
ble as ifrwritten with a sunbeam in the hex.
vens. lt was simply to address a circular to
the Electors,' requiring Of each respectively a
written pledge; in case of his election, to vote
for the nominees of:the' ffational Convention,
and then publish their replies to the voters of
the State. This has bien the course of Mr.
IIiCOLITEE, dud is in exact accordande with
party usage, without a solitary exception In
the past political 'annals of the State.
But how different, and how sadly irregular
and disorganizing, has been the course of Mr.
Wenn! Distend of contenting himself with
the discharge of a simple clerical duty, he and
his packed committee, in violation of all party
precedent, come together, and themselves adopt
candidates for Preeident and Vice President of
the 'United States, different from those nomi
nated by the Democratic National Convention,
and exact pledges of the electors, under
certain contingencies, to vote, for these other
bagel nominees, and not for the regular nomi.
neestof tbe . party I it is true, Mr. WELSH and
his 'coadjutors adopted Basokunszeon and
[Ann, but they might with the same show of
authority have required of the electors re

tion, to pant their v o tes for some such person

And -this fs the programme, forsooth,, which
the great; Democratic party of Pennsylvania,
by its suffrages, in November nest, Is expect
<ed- tcrratify and endorse 1 We ask, is hot this
virtually placing the entire power of nomina
ting candicli&i for the first and second offices
in -the gilt of the American people, so far as
Pennsylvania is concerned, in the hands of
Mr.; War= and his packed committee of post-
Office and'custom-hone officials ? And if such
a policy is to prevail, then of what use was it,
as it relates to the Presidency and Vice Pre
sidency, to have held a National Convention
at all? If it was in the power of Mr. WELSH
and his colleagues, or a majority of them, by
their simple ipas dixit, entirely to set aside
and ignore the nominations made by the regu
lar National Convention, and substitute others,
then would the'delegates have done wisely not
to have incurred the trouble and expense. of
going either to Charleston or Baltimore at all;
and then, too, are popular representative
Conventions a humbug and a farce of the
subliniest conceivable sort. ,
Strangest of all is it, too, that we, even we,
and the thousands with whom we are acting in
concert, fur our stern and unyielding resistance
of this unparalleled act of usurpation on the
pan of Mr. Waxes . and his colleagues, are de
nouncedin unmeasured terms as .‘
Diaorganf
iera I" id IPactiossiste P' Duturbers of the
peace and tranquility of the Democratic party?"
and what not I These allagations, however,
one and all, we confront with a bold anti un
qualified denial. It is not we, but Mr. Wiaau
and his colleagues themselves; who are vio
lating Democratic usages, and treading them,
with Vandal violence, under foot. - In demand
an' electoral fluid, pledged to, DocoLas
and Josssoi, out-and-out , we are but follow
ing in the wake of, every precedent that can
be adduced from the party annals of the
State, and we confidently challenge Mr. Waren,
if he can, to produce a solitary example to
the contrary. The charge of disorganization,
therefore, -by whomsoever made, we can well .
afford to Bing Contemptuously back in the
very teeth of our assailants. .

If Jenkins report correctly, the Prince of
Wales, travelling as Hilton Rzsracw, will go
to Hamilton, Canada West, to Chicago, where
he will stay one day, then across the prairies
to St. Loids, where be will' stay one day. Re
turning he vrilr stay two , ball days at Balti
more, two days at Washington, and one day
at Philadelphia. He will reach Philadelphia
about the 9th of October; reach New York
on the 11th ; attend a ball in New York on
the 12th; and probably visit Boston about the
14th. Inspect Harvard University the next
day; leave for Portland on the 17th, and sail
trOM that port about the 19th of October. In
the United States he will travel strictly as a
private gentleman. He is said to have been
greatly amused with the extra -ettlogisticnotices
of him which certain of the New York papers
have published, and to have laughed heartily
at Jenkins' stupidity in thinking that because
be, the Prince, is left-handed, his mother bad
forbade his giving his right hand to any rank
less than Royalty!

The returmfof the eighth °ensue are rapidly cote
bg in,'ind It mitt now with the Department to
digeiethe cumbrous material for the eomprehen-
Dion and nee of the people. Very few ate aware
of the toilsome aid tedious character of the work.
The enormous chaos of figures has to be dissolved
into some total, giving light where before was
nothing but darkness. Townships, villages, small
and large cities, counties, and States—all have to
- bring in their share to swell the amount of the pro
ductieeness and greatness of this gauntry. As
there are at twist seven millions of people more in
the United States than in 1850,the work of preparing
the present oensus will, of course, be so much larger.
But not only our population halt tremendously
increased; we find the same ratio of national
development in every branch 'of our induatrial,
aommereial, agricultural, and political life. The
eye/ of the world are directed upon the exploits of
the Census oMoe, It le there where the fruits of
civil liberty and republican MlMl:diens will best
be visible. Smell, shallow politicians have often
tried to use the census for sectional and anti-re
publiean harangues; and have, unfortunately, in
some districts, succeeded in blinding the eyes of the
people by 'abuse and perversion of facts. The
census of 1860, however, will be one of the chief
Instruments to stir up our national pride as a great
nation, end thus strengthen the ties and rekindle
the brotherly feeling which formerly so happily
united the people North and South.
The euperintendence of the census, of 1860 Is
confided to Mr 3. O. G. Kennedy, a statistician.
whose name is mentioned with respect not only in
this country, but also in Europe. He was Superin
tendent of the last nuns until the commencement
of the Administration of General Pierce, having
during the two preceding years prepared the prin
cipal bulk of the work for the prom. His sumo
nor merely varied,the arrangement of some detail's,
superintended the proof-reading, and prepared a
mortality report, which latter, however, on ac
count of the ineorreetness and inauffieleney of the
Marshals' returns, is utterly valueless. On the
title-page of the Census, the name of Mr. Kennedy
was not even mentioned—the long name of his
successor had left no room for it. Die to be hoped
bat whatever Administration will come in rex
4th of March, it will not make any change in the
superintendeney of the Census ; that °Moe requires
scientific gentleman, well - versed in statistios, and
not a mere poiltition. And u Mr. Kennedy le
snoh a man, every etatlattolan and national econo
mtst will wish that he may be permitted riot only
to begin and do the work, but also tollnish it. May
he not again be compelled to minim :
Brags opera, alter tutit honoree.
Senator Olingman to not for Breckinridge. He
will take the stump for Douglas. The North Caro
line Democratic Convention, which assembles at
Raleigh on the 30th, will be addressed by Douglas.
Douglas' speech in Norfolk has taken out the
little bit of wind remaining in the sails of the Dia.
unionists. His unequivocal declaration, that he will
support Lincoln, if constitutionally eleoted, and
will assist him in wing all means to prevent the
Seceders from breaking up the Government, just
as Jackson did in '1032, kills the Secession move•
meat all over the South.
Senator Brown, of Mississippi, has Written a let
ter, whereto be declares that he will vote for
Breokinridge. But he gives snob reasons for doing
so as will deter all others from accepting the Dis
union ticket.
The anoient saroophagus, which his been so long
on exhibition in tho basement story in the Patent
Moe, is about being removed to the Smithsonian
Institution. This sarcophagus was the repository
of the Roman Emperor, Alexander Severna, and
was brought to the United States, from Beyrout,
in 1839, on board the frigate Constitution, by Com
modore Jesse D. Elliott, who intended it as a rest
ing-place for the remains of General Andrew Jack
eon. The old General, however, aoknowlodging
the honor intended to be conferred upon him, de

Maw Yong, August 28, 1950
Within a week past I have met several met ,
chants of the South,.some living in the cities,
others in the larger towns, men of practical habits,
conservative views, and familiar with the tone of
public opinion in their different localities, who
tell me that the reaction of the led four weeks in
moat of the Southern States is far more extensive
than we have a correct Idea of ; and they fully cor
roborate the statements of all the Southern presses,
excepting those in the immediate interest of Air.
Breekinridge, that Mr. Yancey, and those extreme
'Scomeloniste who receive their invitation from
him, do not at all represent the property-bolding
and conservative men of that region, and that
the Secessionist candidates are sure to meet in No
vember next an overwhelming defeat. Similar
opinions are entertained, end have been expressed
in privaie conversation, by gentlemen who were
member, of the National Democratic Convention,
and whose support of Breokinridge was not from
choice, but from a combination of circumstances,
and from the' frenzied state of feeling that per- ,
veiled the minds of bouthern politicians, not the
SOuthern masses, at the close of the last session of
Congress. They frankly.admit the gross injustice
that has been done to Judge Douglas, and concede
that his fs now the gaining ride among the bouth

by them during the quarter was 22,821, of whom
15 927 were males, and 6,894 females. 5,681 of the
number could neither read nor write. There is

In reference to the education of deteotives
"In this connection, I would also suggest that the
great object of a detective pollee would be sob•
served by the adoption of a system of periodical
interchanges of intelligent, active, and capable
detectives with the police authorities of the larger
cities in this country, and in Europe. Such a 08-
t•ln would be mutually , advantageous: the New
York detective would be enabled 'to impart his
knowledge of the itinerant persons of suspicious
character who had been notorious in this district
to the authorities to whom he may be accredited ;
and the compensating officer, received from the
same locality, could render similar service here in
regard to persons of like character who should
visit this district in the prosecution of their voca
tion. For such service, a residence not exceeding
two years in duration, for any one officer, would be
ample. In that space of time, hie knowledge of
the persons he left behind would be sufficiently ink
paired to require renewal ; but he would come
back with a stock of acquired information which
would make his return as valuable as his sojourn
abroad bad been.
" I would recommend tbat Invitation be extended
to the proper authorities alluded to, for a free con
ference on the propriety and advantage of such a
system being adopted at an early day."

THE AMERICAN STATE COUNCIL.
sonimoTADT, N. Y., August 23.—1 n puretiane.
of a call signed by (Gustavus Adolphus &row,
President of the State Council of the American
party, a large number of delegates, purporting to
represent that party, have assembled here.
The business of the State Council, under the
constitution of the Order, is, first, to elect officers
Of the Coulson for the ensuing year; and, eeeend,
toll: the time and place for holding the Amerioan
State Convention.
The delegates present are divided into two °lass
es. One, the Bell and Everett men, is led by Bru
tus Brooke, Amos H Prescott, anJease 0. Dunn ;
and the other, the Lincoln and Hamlin - men, by
Messrs. Foroggs, Lounsbury, Hooded, and others.
The former appears to have- a large msjority in
numbers, while the latter have the organization.
A canons of the Bell and Everett men was held
this morning, ii. T. Stansbury, of New York, pro•
Biding. A committee was appointed consisting of
Jesse C. Dunn, John L. Ryker, and Samuel Hal.
Lott, to watt on Mr. Serous and request him to re
sign his °Moe and allow the Vice President to call
the Convention to order on the ground that he
(Soroggs) had openly united with the Republican
party.
To this Mr. Soroggs replied he bad signified his
intention to support Mr. Lincoln only because ho
recognised no American nominee in the UK He
declined to acted. to the proposition:
The committee then proposed that he should re
cognise a motion, to be made by Samuel It iehmond,
in the Convention, appointing a oommittee on con•
teated seats. This Mr Soroggs,also refused to do,
holding that it wee his right, as President of the
Council, to appoint the Committee on Credentials.
When the committee repotted the result of the
Interview to the canons, it was received to meet in
Convention under Mr &rogue, and when the Com
mittee on Credentials was announced, to.move, as
an amendment, the substitution of the names
agreed on by the Bell and Everett men.
Several applications were then made to Mr.
Serous to ascertain where the Convention was to
meet, without success, the reply being a place not,
yet decided, but would be announced before 12
o'clock.
It was announced in caucus that a plotted guard
had been appointed to watch Mr. Soroggs, and
tragic out the place of meeting, should any attempt
be made to conceal it; none, however, is appro.
headed. The theme of a general row appear
good.
After a stormy reselon, Gen. Scrogge -resigned
the chair in favor of Alma H Prescott, and with•
drew front the ball with about twentv-five Mende.
The Council proceeded with its business, about
two hundred delegates being present.
The American state Convention.

plauded, but declined an Invitation to speak.
Charles 8. Macomber, of Buffalo. said that the
°Mlles Americans were here in a bode from Bd.
falo to repudiate the attempted sale of the Amer!•
cane to the Republicans.
This speech was greeted with loud ipplanee, and
cheers were given for Bell and Everett, for Eramtus
Brooke, Washington Hunt, and the Americans of
Buffalo.
At noon General Hemp called the Connell to
order. He said that the time had arrived at
which the State Commll was to meet. As this is a
secret order and partakes of a secret character,
none but those belonging to the order are permit
fed to be prevent or take part in the proceedings.
He anggeeted that the proceedings be opened with
prayer, according to the provisions of the consti
tution. He milled for the Rev. Mr. Vedder. but
no response being made, the prayer was dispensed
with.
The next business In order being the examina
tion of credentials, Gen. Paroggs named a com
mittee for that ramose. The names of Sautes
Dennis, of New York, and Morgan L PIWu, of
Albany, were given, but. the delegates interrupted
by erten of "They are Republicans ; we WIM.

MEETING OF THE REPUBLICANS
AT NATIONAL HALL. '
Speech of Ron. Charles French ►dame.
A SHORT BIOGRAPIIY OF MIL ADAMS
The eecond of the " grand eerie, of meetings in
favor of freedom and protection, under the auspices
of the People's or Republican Executive Commit.
tee," wee held last evening at National Hall.
The atusotunsetnent that lion. (Medea Frauds
Adams, of Massachusetts, would address " the
people without distinction of party on the great
igglloo of the day," attracted a largo audience
The hall was not filled to its utmost capacity at
eight o'olook, the hour appointed, owing to the feet,
probably, that the Republicans last evening held
Legislative Conventions in the different wards of
the otty. Mr Adams is the eon of John Qainey
Adams, and is an unusually eloquent speaker.
He to about fifty years of age, of abort stature.
with a florid complexion and iron•gray hair, and
light whiskers.
He graduated at Cambridge University, and
accompanied his father to, Europe in 1802.
He returned in 1817. After graduating, he at
tended the law college, and studied law with
Daniel Webster. He was elected to the Macoacbu
aette House of Representatives in 1841—'42, and '43,
and to the State Senate in 1844—'45. He was elect
ed to the National House of Representatives last
year, and although his career has not been marked
by anything of brilliancy, he has borne himself
with dignity and exhibited an invaluable sound
ness of underittanding and purity of motive.
In person Mr. Adams is not unlike his father.
He Is bald, and bee a very benevolent oast of coun
tenance, although the features are sharp. He was
dressed in an unassuming garb, and wore a stand
log collar. His delivery is of a nervous diameter,
although he has not the requisite strength and
compass of voles to Make it effective with large
messes of men.
The meeting was called to order by George
Inman Riche, E•q , who Lominated Mr. Ilene,
Carey for pleeldent of the meeting, and appointed
a number of froli prisidente and eeoretaries. The
nominatlone were unanimously agreed to.
Mr. Carey said he was much honored in being
called upon to preside over such a meeting as this
Taking a deep Interest, as he did, in all the ques
tions that were before the public for settlement,
be should be very glad to say a few words in regard
to them, but be had not the Voice to speak In so
large abet!. He would therefore lntroduoe to them
the llon. Charles Francis Adams, of Massaohusetto
—a gentleman well known as the :embus advooate
of the rights of free labor.
This was the signal for outbursts of applause and
enthusiasm ; and, when quiet was restored, Mr.
Adams onto forward and said :

_ why any one has a right to find fault
If there were no other reason, It Is enough that I
like it, and do not care to change, to justify me in
my choice. To this extent, it seems to me to be wise
and proper to be conservative; hence, if I apply this
reason to matters of government, I should say that I
em partioulady satisfied with the Union and the
Federal Constitution ; with existing State, city, and
other municipal organisations,and do not, therefore,
want to make a obange—nay, I would go farther
and say that I care not to favor any plan which
would appear to threaten or to disturb the rueful
tenor of their observance. This is what I call
sound, conservative, national doctrine.
I suppose that to this extent we may be said to
be agreed. SO far so good. But now suppose we
go a step forward. Let as assume that, in the
coulee of time, something turns up that, if not at
tended to in seaeon, threatens to make very serious
changes for the worse in the old system to which
we are attached. Suppose in my old house, for
example, I discover the dry rot beginning In the
timbers, or that my foundation la starting a little,
or,' portiapo, my neighbor is building to shut out
my,light, or is setting up a bueiness that effects

make my neighbor cross or violent, and that he
may threaten to burn his house delve in order that
mine ohould °atoll lire and burn down too ? Per

I am no longer conservative. I should call such a

oolioy in such a case is not submission, but re

that will restore to toe the ad-
ventages of my old way of lifertomething that
will prevent me from suffering by a moot cin-
pleasant change.

Look for s moment at the various political orga

Presidency., All but one of the four of them, ap
parently canisposed of aloe-holders, insist upon re

It stands to reason, then, that there must be very
strong groueds for such a singular result. This
universal ()aviation among persons, in any agree
ment about anything aloe, goes to prove that not
only there ate great Austin in the Government, but
that there is an absolute necessity for immediate
measures of correction. This, then, is note time for
folding our hands, for standing aside and calling
out conservative. ' No, in this case true conserve.
tiom is changed—it Is reform. It is the restoration
of the old building without hesitation. The ma
terial Is rotten of disease; we want to make it
sound and new. Having settled this among . our
selves, having agreed that our present duty is re
form, the nest step to consider is the best and moot
practicable way of getting at it; and hero it is
necessary to remind you that no reform can bo
really effective which is not carried into execution
by vigorous and capable hands. It will not do to
treat the operation to the feeble or the incompe
tent. There must not only be capacity in the
agents, but there must also be corresponding
strength in the popular confidence to sustain them.
We all of =very well know that a single mon, let
him be ever to well fitted for the task, can othieaself
do nothing.' lie must have support and oo opera
tion on the part of others, and just in the propor
tion that these others are strong enough and no.
mereuo enough to constitute what is called popu
lar opinion, will be the opportunity of establishing
come luster; that may be useful and permanent
To expect that of a small party organisation, even
supposing that Resident should make it possible for
it to try, that it should sumeed in excoutleg any
dbitinetive policy of its own, would be unreasona
ble, if not positively absurd. Snob a actions thing
as reform cannot be confined within the circle of
the executive department.
The spirit that animates it must be spread among
the people at large, and among their representa
tives everrehere. Especially must it predominate
in both brandies of the Legislature. We all know
that anything like an attack on the abases of the
Government must meet with Moody opposition
from that class most subject to be benefited by
them. They will set heaven and earth in motion
to realist the movement from step to step. They
will resort to the thousand-and-ono expedients to
raise jealousies and disseminate distrust, which
are found seteffeetual in bringing to naught the
Hest-conceived enterprise.
In order to resist their appeals of this character
and render them of no effeot, there Is a necessity 1
for united strength. Men must be combined into
a'political party, acting together for the securing
of any partlonlar object. They must understand
and have confidenoe in one another; they must
have a head to devise, as well as hands to execute,
and multitudes to confirm. Without the presence
of all these elements, no real movement tinder the
popular form of government la likely to terminate
in good. Without harmony and union of prinol.
pies there can be no revived popular opinion.
Hence the inexpediency at all tunes of Inaugura

where there Is not a large array of people prefer

Now, let me ask of you, if you really believe
such a reform necessary at this time, where will
you look for the requisite agency to execute it ? 1
You must find some popular Organisation or other
to act with, or you will accomplish nothing. tou

Geminates, let Its consider what state of thing" it
is that we have before us I have already alluded
to the fact that we have four distinctive forms of
popular organizations In the present canvass for
the Presidency. Yeu all know well enough, to
save me the need of much explanation, there is a
party supporting Mr. Brookinrldge, and a party
eupp: rting Mr Douglas. These are the fragments
of the former Democratic party, but now opposin
each other with more vehemence then they did
their old adversaries. Then there is the party of
Mr. Bell, composed. as I said before, almost ex
clusively of old Whigs; and lastly, there is the Its
' publican party, whioh presents Mr.lAbraham
coin. (Applause
One thing is hare worthy of notice, and that is'
that it is universally acktowledged to be true that
but one of these four parties stands a chance of
electing its candidates by the popular voles All
that the others can hope for is to gain electo
ral votes enough to defeat any °helot, at all. By
this means, as you all know, the election of a Pre.
sldent would be transferred, by the Constitution
to the Reuse of Representatives. Rare it is well
known that one nut of the four must be shut out.
The Constitution confines the selection between
those three having the highest number of votes,
and, at the proper time, the House roust proceed to
elect one out of the three Of these three,
nobody doubts that Mr. Lincoln would be
one ; but who the others mey be I think nobody at
this moment is ready to predict with confidenee.
Tho prevailing opinion now ia , that it would be
Menus Breakinridge and Bell, and that Mr. Don
glan will be shut out
Let ns, for the sake of argument, suppose that
this is so, and that the oendidates are Lincoln,
Brookinrldge, and Bell. Which of these would
you seleot with an, hope of executing your project of
necessary reform? (Cries of •' Lincoln ") Very cer
tainly It would not be Mr Breckinedge ; for be is
the only one of the three candidates who Is wholly

ported by all the neme•holders under wbnm the
abuse bee been earned on. Re is the candidate of
Mr. Buchanan. who bee not deemed it unbecoming
the dignity of his office to come forward and advo
cate the election of his successor ; and. of ontose,
if you vote for Mr. Brimkinridge, you vote in fact
to approve the policy of the very Administration
which is so universally condemned.
Mr. Adams then proceeded at great length to
review the platforms of the different organisations,
• end to a disouseinn of the characters representing
these parties Its paid a glowing eulogy to Abra
ham Lincoln. whim he regarded as the most fitting
of the four candidates for the highest Olee in the
Government.
John Bell wee nominated by a party seeking
fn set aside entirely the groat engrossing topics of
the present era. At the North, the ohj'ct of the
sn tailed Union party seemed to be the division of
the Opposition and the perpetuity of the eway of
the present Administration. If elected President,
Mr. Bell would have to take one aide or the other
at once. Hie petty labored under the "wrath, im-

Mr. Douglas bad but one principle, which he con.
Were(' a pemcee and a remedy for every existing
evil. If Mr Douglas' principle of orrtter rove.
reignty should be carried to extremes it would
warrant the Territorial establishment of polygamy
as any other evil.
He deplored the 'unmet excitement mum
cloned by the slavery question, and in 'multi
don said: " There to but a single We way of
dirposing of the present question This to to

Mr. Adams concluded bis address, which occu
pied two hours in its delivery, amid the most en.
thusiestio applause he was frequently interrupted
by the entrance of the " Inyineibles," "Coati.
nonfat," and other campaign clubs, who carried
torches and transparencies, and ware accompanied
by bands of muds.
- Resolutions of thanks for his speech were uncut
utonaly Wonted.
Geo. I. Riche made some eloquent remarks.
M.seachusetts Republicanism had spoken, and it
was fitly that Pennsylvania should respond, which
she would do through this resolution :
