The fire-eaters of the South few nothing so much as that the Administration of A bbaham LiucoLit should be national and conservative. It was unquestionably the apprehension that if Judge Domnas were elected President he would be found a firm friend of the Union that drove Mr. Tanokv and others to secede from Charleston :*Bd'Baltimore.. There is a large oiac. of. people in the' South who look to dis union for their own ambitious and pecuniary purposes, and therefore the; refused to trust Douatas—heretofore their best champion— because of his devotion to the rights of ail the Slates, and they now'rofnse to believe Lracotn When' his . organs promise that he will treat them with entire fairness. We are pleased to notice, in most of 'the leading and acknow ledged organs of the President elect, signifi cahtdndications of his conscientious determi nation to commit no act, after he comes into the chair,of State, which oan arouse the pre judices of a single honest friend of the 'South. Mr. Jour? Wbktwosth, of the Chicago De mocrat, seems to have achieved* bod emi nence by mapping oat Hr. Lmcour’s policy in advance, and by committing him to insnffer ahle excesses upon the Southern people: But the' Chicago Tribune Of the.'Btli of November, 1 which is said to sustain a. very Close relation to the President elect, contains an article, from which wo copy the f ollowing extract: “The attitude of the victorious North is mean while* thing of.no small importance. Now, while in the. flush of a triumph achieved only utter years of patient .waiting end working—while the smoke of ibe conflict is in our garments—it will be.wiee aha disoreet for Republicans to avoid ell canoes of additional irritation, and to eonvirwe the people of the South, by.our words and sets, .that wo we not half eo fieroe and ravenous as we huvu been repre sented—that we are still tfcslr eoontrymen—still bound to them by athonsund ties, which no would not rupture if .wa could.” , This will be. regarded in the South as mere words; hut in our day more words are,things. Wo only wish Mr. BncnASAif would give ns some Jackson' words, over his name, in ad vance’ of the meeting of Congress, in'order to arrest tke torrent ef fanaticism in the South; and : we believe that. Mr. Ldtooax himself would neither lower his'chanctsr nor impair his Administration if he did. the same thing. Let there, be a strong uprising for the Union among good men of .all parties, . North .and South. It has always been the strongest ele ment in the American heart. When great men have opposed the Union they fiaveennk into prematuro political graves, and whenjamall men have advecated it they have towered into giants. It was devotion to the Union that gayo to Howell C”Bb a national reputation, that made him Governor of Georgia against the regnlar Democratic organization, and that put him' into the Cabinet of Jakes Bdcbahaw, and ittwas opposition to the Union (or at least the. suspicion of itj thst defeated JmmnkoE Davis in Mississippi,—though covered all over with'honorable scars won in glorious .battle fojc his country. .. . " When Jacksoe’s proclamation was issued; in' 1884, although' his Administration' had' been previously hotly opposed, by the Qppo siUon, onderthe lead of Webstke and Clat— the iatter having been his personal and per sistent enemy—that memorable manifesto in favor, of the .Republic extinguished party animosities, , and. rallied to his Adminiatration his ancientfoes; and when, in 1862, after the Compromise measnres had been-’sealed, by. the triumph ofthe Union .sentiment in all the South, their popularity was such that both the great perties of tlie country endorsed themintheirptatforms. ' Csn it be possible thkt fho ITnion fire .has gone out in the Nation*! heart ? Can it be that the wild and impracticable theories of rdvengefhl. men; who - look, to' disunion as a rescue from exaggerated wrongs, will cap tivate and capture and overthrow' the reason of the solid msn of the country, North and. South ? We do not believe it. Our fellow countrymen in the' slave'States would soon be convinced, if th.e practical'cause were presented,' that eight 'out of every ten men who voted for Lntqduf,at the late election, were inspired by any other motive but hostility to thoir interests or to their rights under the Constitution. Some thousands.' of the old Whig party in that organization threw their suffrages on the. ground that a change in the Government was necessary. Other thousands did sdtd avenge and to punish fso that, here after, no repetition of the crime should be com mitted) the treacheries and the proscriptions ot the Administration- of Jakes BocHAHArr, and (unless where mere anti-slavery idealists ventilated their pecnUar theories) the practi cal,niton of s*( .organization united in making the strongest record in fhvbr of the recognition bfthe rights of tho South. . - . Fe nnsyirania is not a Republican Stateto d*y oilthe theory ot Mr. SawAnn'.' With us many considerations contributed to swell the volume of Mr. Lincoln's vote. The disgust ofthe masses, of the Democratic party at Mr. BccHAKAE’s course, the honest anxiety oi our manufacturing Interests for theldig-promisad protection, and the threat* of those who have heretofore been in the mihority, are among these considerations. There islittle doubt that New York, Indiana, Ohio, and all the States ofthe Northwest, have become Repub lican irom causes apart from mpre endorse ment of anyplatform.

The Right of Secession—What Will President Buchanan Do? Journalists and statesmen in all parts of tho country are discussing, with exhaustive abi lity, tho doctrine whether any State of the American Union has a right to secede from that Union. In New York, under the load of Chaelks O’Coitoß, ■ the ' Herald of course concedes the right of peaceful secession, and denies the power or the expediency of the Federal Government forcing a State back into the'. Confederacy. We are glad to perceive, however, that a better State ■of feeling pre vails in 'disinterested quarters. New York city is so'completely fettered by pecuniary or commercial considerations, that even her mo rals are adjusted by her selfish expectations, and her politics outside of national and com, prebehsive 'truths- and principles. If a State of. tho American Union may secede at will, and with impunity set np the standard of re volt, there is an end to our Federal compact, and therefore an end to the republican experiment on this hemisphere. It wonld be childish and cowardly to shnt our eyes to this fact. We appreciate the solicitude of thinking men, and particularly of those who daily address the people through their newspapers, that force should not be employed to preserve the in tegrity ofthe Union, unless in extreme cases; and we'appreciate also the strength ofthe fre quent remark, that ours is a nation of publio opinion, and not one which can be successfully maintained by a standing army. Bnt shall we admit that there is no power whatever in the Executive to protect the life oi the Republic? This is the vital question at stake. ‘a most startling theory has lately been sug gested in connection with this issno, which im pels ns to tho belief that President Buchanan will assume the ground that ho cannot interfere to save tho Union from overthrow unless he is authorized, so to do by a special act of Con gress. It seems to bo agreed that if South Carolina, Georgia,, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, and other Southern States, or any one of them, shall leave tho Union, the Presi dent has no power to compel their return I It is contended that because tho first and fifth sections of the force bill of 1834—which au thorized the President to employ the army and the navy, in executing obedience to tho law—expired with the year 1834, therefore tho law conferring such authority must bo revived in order that foil efficiency may be given to the Executive arm. God gives hs life, and with it tho instinct of self-pre servation. The very possession of exist ence carries with it 1 the right to protect and preserve existence ; and if the President shall agree to wait for authority, and relnso to dis charge his duty—namely, to see the laws ex ecuted, and to preserve the Union unmuti lated—may he not himself become a party to the iearful conspiracy now being organized in the Southern States ? The men directly en gaged in this conspiracy are not all car. ried away by wild and savage impnlßos. They certainly know their advantages; and have doubtless impressed tho President, through the Southern members of his Cabinet, with the idea that now seems to be accepted by himself and others identified with his Administration. Suppose he waits for power: is there any certainty that Congress will cqnfer it upon him ? May not the South ern membeM tliemselvos make tho vory_ de mand for snch authority on his part a reason for secession, which, having been prepared deliberately for months, if not for years, may become so formidable as to paralyze tho arm of the Executive when the hour shall arrive for tho Executive to strike ? Upon the theory that he cannot move now, Sonth Caroline is leit free, even before she secedes, to nullify the laws of Congress : And the Execntlve will be unable to send the navy into her harbor, oven to collect duties, on the poor ground that ho cannot find authority under the Constitution, and ini his oath of office. It is'true, General Jackson did not move un til the overt act was committed on tho. part of tho Sonth, bnt ho* not South Carolina now committed the overt act ? Do not the officers ef the federal Government in that State re fuse to administer or execute the laws, and is it not notorious that any appointments in place of.thqse who have resigned their offices will be resisted; by the Charleston populaee ? Does.not the President know that other States are preparing to follow South Carolina’s ex ample ? His Secretary of; the Treasury, Mr. Conn, has been for: months. past .Invoking the people ofGoorgla to secede Instantly upon the election of. Hr. Lincoln ; and the President cannot fail to have, seta, that only a few days ago, at Macon, Miss., 1 the Hon. Jefpebson Davis declared “that the same wire which conveyed the electric flash that brought the inteliigence.of Lincoln’s election, the next in stant should carryback his proclamation con vening the Legislature of Mississippi; and ha warned them now, if there were any members of the Legislature proseat, to be preparod to set ont for tho capital of the State the next minute.” ' And also that, immediately before the Pre sidential election, the same statesman, who rarely speaks without intending to carry ont his declarations, used tho following language: “ Be did not dodge the lisue of What to do in the event of Mr. Lincoln's eleotion, and he clear ly proved that immediate secession was the only sa&ty for Mississippi and the Sonth Is that event. The loud response that came up from tho hearts of the people showed that they were with him and for secession.” ; The Intimate friend of the President, Mr. Senator Slidell, has taken the same ground, on more than one occasion; and It is equally, well known'that pledges to'the same effect have been made by -Mr. Senator Baows oi Mississippi, Governor Wise of Virginia, Mr. Toohbs of Georgia, and Mr. Yahobt, and his set, of Alabama. • What, then, is the clear duty of the President ef the United States? We a ° not advise him to employ force. On tho contrary, we think every means should ho first used to pro pitiate, to conciliate, and to convince the Southern people of the madness oi their lead ers. 1 But one of. his duties is plain. He ought, in the lace of the peculiar condition of allairs —so much more threatening than that which afflicted and disturbed the country inlB34—so mnch more widely extended and ao mnch bet ter organized—announce that he stands by the Jackson doctrine of uncompromising hostility to secession, and warn them against invoking the dreadful.fate that certainly will overtake them should they persist m their course. This, backed by the ample authority of the Constitution, and his path of office, and by the all-pervading sentiment of the free States, would so encou rage the friends of tho Union in the South, that it would lead to the certain crushing of the head of the revolution , or render it so con temptible as to confine it to the limits qf South Carolina herself. In order to illustrate tho overwhelming cf teot that such an appeal would- have npon the pntlre nation, we copy a letter written to the people of Kentucky by the venerable Hon. S. S. Nicholas, of Louisville, dated the sth of November. It will be found oh our fourth page. The writer proves conclusively not only the utter folly of Mr. Oalhooh’s attempted war upon tho Union, but also, that the discussions during the formation of the Confederation, and before the subsequent establishment of tho Constitution, contained alike the strongest in dications, that the Union was intended to he indissoluble; points out how tho President can protect the irom annihilation, and concludes his magnificent argument with Certain practical comments npon tho danger and folly oi secession. Let all patriotic, Union-loving citizens, of whatever party, read this noble letter, and then let them make up their judgment as to the propriety of the eon tinned silence of the President, in the face of the daily-inereasing manifestations oi treason to the Constitution and the laws on the part of the Disunionists of the South. ■ Bxiea Valuable Beal Bstaw, Sxocgs, Ao—- Tiiomts A Boas’ sal*, to-morrow', will bo especially worthy the attention of capitalists, basinets men, and others, comprising first-class olty and country property, by. order of Orphans’ Court, exeoutors, and others.

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE. Letter from u Occasional*” ;Correspondence of The Press.] Washingtoh, November 11, 1800. I am disposed to believe, after a pretty thorough reading of tho Southern papers, and a somewhat oarefal hearing of the opinions of many who sym pathise with Southern feeling, that the danger of aeoossion, 1 which appeared to be near by a few days ago, is not so imminent at tho present writing. Tbero aro obstacles in the way whioh are begin ning to be apparent to the Secession loaders them selves—obslaoles growing out of the difficulty* surrounding the oontemplated not, apart from the known opposition to it of an immense class of Southerners. You will perceive that, in the late Presidential eleotion. a very largo majority of the Southern vote for Bell and Douglas left Mr. Breck inridge himself in a minority in his own section, Kentucky -dooidos against him, and, wheiever he has oarrled a State, the plurality has fallen below the confident'expectations of his supporters. Now, while it is undoubted that, in the first paroxysm of exoitoment and anger resulting from Lincoln’s eleotion, many of tho friends of Bell and of Dou glas united with the ultraists in declaring that eleotion a cause for resistance, yet it is gratifying to perceivo that large numbors of these influences are foiling b&ok upon a conservative platform. Tho battle for tbo Union in tho. Sonth will be fought more courageously in Kentucky than in any other Southern State Somo days prior to the Presidential eleotion tho Kentucky Douglas State Committee announced tho determination of that wing of tho Demcor&cy to oppose all violent mea sures beeause a citizen of the United States might be constitutionally elected President. Mr. Crit tenden, who heads the conservative old-line Whig Bell party, was no less fervent in making a similar declaration ; and a number of journals, represent ing a majority oi the voters of Kentuoky, have been filled with Union articles for three months past. Nor has tho old Jaohson spirit in the Sonth died out. The splendid argument contained in his pro clamation, not only against nullification, hut against secession, is being revived and reflected upon, and thousands will pauso before consenting to 00-operato with a sot of infuriated politicians, who regard a withdrawal from the Union as the only escape from imaginary and exaggerated evils. Judge Robertson, one ot the ablest jurists in Ken taoky, on tho eve of the election, pronounced a masterly speech at Covington, in wbioh be dis cussed the Jackson argument against eeoession In the following manner: “ If the Southern mon have a right to nullify the non-importation not, havo not tbe Northern men the right to nullify the fugitivo-slave law? If this law be nullified it is nullified by themselves. I mean by the Southern Eeoedera and Nnllifiers. It is a great grievance; yet It is only one of the monstrous conscquenoes that must necessarily en sue from this doottine. The non-importation aot of 1808 could be nullified in tho same way. If they have tho right to nullify a law. tbe General Go vernment oannot say a word. If their dootrine is right, tbe Government cannot prevent it. What did General Jaokson say? The Jackson Demo crats followed his standard whilst he was living upon the earth, and have any of yon deserted him sinoe he has gone to his long homo, and gono over to Calbonn, whom be wanted to hang as a traitor; whom he denounced as a traitor, and would have hung but for tbe interposition of Henry Clay? Jaokson issued bis proclamation in 1833, when Souh Carolina had prepared for eeoession. He denounced secession. He issued his proclamation and warned them against it.. He told them that if they did not ground their arms of rebellion, he, cs the Executive of the United States, wonld fuel called upon to raise an army and put thorn down. Then, in ene of the most conclusive, lucid arguments that ever came from tho pon of mortal man, he proved that this doctrine of eeoession and nullification was os false as it was dangerous. He concluded- how ? He conoluded thus: * I consider tho power to an nul a law of the Constitution assumed by one State, and to nnlllfy a law and to secede from the Union, are one.’ Ho had been arguing more against eeoession than against nullification. He goes on: ‘ Assumed by one State, incompatible with the existence of tho Union, coutradioted ex pressly by the letter of tho Constitution, unautho rized by its spirit, inconsistent with every principle on whioh it was founded, and destructive of the freat objects for which it wasformed.’ If General aokson had never ottered a word whilst President but this eentenoo, he would dosorvo to be em balmed in the highest niche of tbe temple of Ame rican fame. [Applause] Have his principles been consigned to tho gravo with him ? Aro they now decayed, decomposed? 'They are the principles upon which the Government rests. They arc the principles of Clay and Washington, and all the pa triots that ever lived. They aro the principles of tbe Constitution—the principles of the Union, without whioh it cannot stand.” The National Intelligencer of Saturday re prints two important documents, both from citi zens of Sonth Carolina, pointing ont the impracti cability and the peril of resorting to secession. One !b from no. lesß a person than the Hon. 0. G. Memminger, who, it will be recollected, was ohosen by tho Legislature of South Carolina to tot as her Commissioner to the Stato of Virginia after the John Brown raid last autumn. Nine years ago, in 1851, Mr. Memminger spoke in the oity of Charleston, ot great length, against secession, and, although he is to-day in active sympathy with the ultras, tho logic and force of his former plea will stand unaeaailed and unassailable. Tbe other is onrraravTreiop'Sna Conner ot the 3d of November, said to proceed from very high authority. This writer appeals to the people of South Carolina, from the very hot bed of the extremists, and demands oautlon, time, and xefiectlon, protesting against all indecent baste, and ‘-any blind rushing into the, mire of revolution, with a vague dependence on scmecon~ ti'ngent Jupiter to assist us in getting out of it.” 'When it is recollected that there is in reality no cause for secession—that no overt aot is threat ened by the Republicans—and that all through tho Sonth moderato mon are showing their hands ogaiost any precipitate decision of the question may we not bopo that tho rash counsels of South Carolina will be avoided, and that, if sbo should move out of the Union, sbo will havo to do so alone ? But It is a great error to suppose that all these violent demonstrations are rcsoitod to because the Bepublioan oendidate ior President has been eleot ed. Tho Charleston Mercury , not many days ago, oandldly declared that the plan for disunion had a deeper foundation and source. That paper alleged that the road to Southern safety lay in secession, and that tho growing power ol the North was the impelling motive, and Mr. Linooln’s election only n patent and secondary pretext. Now is it possible that tho Southern peoplo arc ready to put themselvos upon such n platform V Are they prepared to say that, because the North and the Northwest are now the controlling power in the Union, therefore it is their right and their duty to set up an independent standard ? ' Mr. Senator Toombs, of Georgia, and Mr. Se nator Chesnut, of South Carolina, hare both ro eignod their places la the United States Senate. Mr. Toombs, you will recollect, some weeks ago announced that ho was for a Southern Confodoraoy in the event of Lincoln’s election, and would af terwards throw up his Brat in tho jJnited States Sonato, and beeome a candidate for 11 President of Georgiaand Mr, Chesnut’s spoeoh before the election anticipated secession as tho groat panacea for the alleged grievances of lho South. Let me ask again whether the Southern people are ready for this Confederacy, only that ambitions leaders may put themselves into high places? Again,.cotempo ranoous with all these arguments against the Union, is tho revival of tho demand for the re opening of tho Afrioan slave trade. In other words, ths non-slavoholdlng population are to he tempted by the prsspeot of obtaining negro slaves at low prioos. Bat, howevor the Sojathem people may feel against the Abolitionists, a decided ma jority are strenuously opposed to tho reopening of this Inhuman traffic. *® Thero Is a Christian church in the South. There is not only a eonsorvatlve sentiment, but a con seienoe, too, and the whdle power of the various religious denominations will at onoe ba aroused against the attempt to orcot a Southorn Republic npon tho boßis of tho African slave trade. Depend npon it, therefore, that, without alluding to other considerations—such, for instanee, as the dangers of oivil war, the surrender of ail right to the national domain, tho by no moans improbabla prospect of a servile insurrection, and tho untried experiment .of outting looso from ail association, oommeroial and personal, with tho tree States—the anticipations of the Secessionists aro not so okeor iog as they were a few days ago. It looks now as If the battio against these men would bo fought in the South, and fought boldly and triumphantly. There is no man who, In these times, would wield a more salutary iniinenco than John 0. Breckinridge. Although put forward as the can didate of tho Scoedors, and supported by all tho advooates of disuuiop In tho slave States, it ismoro than suspe'oted that he'has, on rapeptod oooasions, assured hlB confidential friends that they wore making a sad mlst&ko in assuming tho ground that the eleotion of Lincoln would bo a just cause for going out of tho Union. A gentleman from Ken tuoky, now in this city, has more than onoe inti mated that some open dcolaration to this effect would not surprise him ooming from tho Vico Pre sident. And how can be strike hands with the South Carolina Secessionists? His own State Is undoubtedly on tho sldo of the Union. All his family, and most of his frlonds, have mado their reputation as Union men; and, probably more important than all, he himself, although a young mad at thp time, waiJ among the most prominent advopatep of tbo Compromise of 1850-51, as they woro framed and advocated by play, pats, and Webater. Should all these calculations fail, however, a melancholy futaro Is before us. If the Southern States shall insist upon the right of peaceful seces sion, pr, as has been suggested, should they de mand a .compromise with the free. States, on the basis of a recognition of this right, no human power oaa antieipato the direful disaster? iij piprp for our beloved country. ,Qneo admit that a State may go out ef tho Union at will and pleasure, and there will bo no Govornment, at least po National Government. Our Constitution will bo a rope of sand, and our. boasted brotherhood of BepubUos a broken and scattered family, having no common vjow, and perishing by its own dissen sions. One thing should ntoneohojinilOjrtakenby tho Conservative men of tho free States, a oi tfejf. is the repoal of all lows Interfering with tho prompt exoontlon of tho fagitivo-Blavo law. TheCowti THE PRESS.—PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1860. tution recognizes the duty of the States to enforce the rendition of all fugitives from service or labor, and we of the North and the Northwest are in np fit oondition to denounce nullification in the South until we clear cur skirts of the too just accusation of having enacted laws to obstruct the oarrying out of the fugitive-slave enactment as amended in the Compromise measures of 1850-51. Of oourse, there will be resistance to this suggestion in the North; but it would be alike graoeful tuno if some of those Republicans who havo here tofore donounoed the fugitive-slave law would, in view of the present aspeot of Federal affairs, make an effort to put the Republican party right on this important qneßtion. Mr. Llnooln himself, in his canvass with Douglas in Illinois, in 1858, was un derstood to objeot to these nullifying aots of his friends. In this regard, tbe South hue a good right to complain, and it would be wise if Mr. Lincoln would give a sufficient intimation of his views, on this point at least, so as to assure the country where his Administration will be found.

Expostulations have been made by leading Seoedors in this oity to their Southern brethren, to wslt till Mr. Buchanan goes out of olfioe. As they most likely will do &o, we will have no secession.

The President in favor of a Convention of all the States. The President begins to talk of Disunion, and, in order to avert that calamity, on Saturday ex pressed an opinion in favor of a Convention, in whioh all the States ere to be represented. This' suggestion has been made in certain other quar ters, and is based upon the expeot&tion of several guarantees—one of whioh is to include a distinct recognition of the.rightof a State to secode from the Union, about which there seems to bo somo difference Among other guarantees aro tho re peal of the State laws interfering with the execu tion of the fugitive-slave law in certain of the free States, and such a recognition of the right of slaveholders to carry their “property” into tho Territories as will enable them to hold thorn there until tbo people come to form a State Constitu tion ; a distinct provision against the abolition of slavery ip the District of Colombia, without the consent of Virginia and Maryland; and, also, & pledge that tbe inter-slave trade shall not be ar. rested. On the arrival of tho news of the resignation of Senators Toombs and Chibnut, great consternation fell upon the Administration, and a special meet ing of tbo Cabinet was immediately convened, whioh remained in session until a late hour last night. Gen. Cass is reported to have stated that he did not think tbe government would last beyond the 4th of Maroh,lBfii. Intelligence reached here about the sane time, that JxprrnsoN Davis, of Mississippi, had written to the effect that he would* oe&se to bo a member of the United States Senate at the close of the present term. Will other Southern Senators resign? The example of Senators Tooups and CfiBSNUT resigning theirseats in the Senate, will probably be followed by Mr. jKJtßaftNi MiMigfiipptfcid-. ptph, ot Louisiana, Johnson, of Arkansas, Chat, of Alabama, and NjcpopsoNyof Tennessee.- This will give the President elect, upon his inaugura tion, & clean majority in the Senate to. confirm all his appointments, and Douglas will probably be reinstated into the chairmanship of tho Committee on Territories. The TJuion Men of the South. The Union men pf the South ore delighted at, the prospect of the resignation of the DUunionist Sonators, Inasmuoh as they will now proceed to organize a great Union party, and sweep the South- filling the vacated seats with firm friends of the Constitution and the laws. 1 hear John Forsyth of Alabama, Janes Gardner of Georgia, Col.

Secession at a Premium The threatened secession of the Southern fire eaters from tho Senate of the Unitod States Is but following the set by Mr. Yancey and his friends at Charleston and at Baltimore. I am happy to inform you, however, that the greatest seoedor of them &U (Senator Bayard, of Dela ware) will not resign his seat; and it is also given ont that the Vice president will oling to his six years, alter the 4th of March, with determined te nacity. ]Tou wlilvemotabey that he said, in Ms groat Lexington epeeoh, that he was looking with anxiety and pleasure to the time when he would represent the Stato of Kentuoky in the Senate of the Unitod States. Hon* Henry I>* Foster* The late [Democratic candid&to for Governor of Pennsylvania, called upon tho Freaidont on Satur day, and had a friendly interview. He there met Gen. Jo Lane, who has latoly m&do a etrong dcolu ration in favor of the Union and against Becosslon. Whep he told his delegates to <( go out ” of lh d Democratic Convention at Charleston, and to “ stand by the South,” ho did not expect to be put <(out” of the Senate himself, and to fall u victim to his own folly. He has been well nausonted with secession. (Jen. Laxp intimated to Gen. Foster, that the defeat of Foster had preoipltatod tho Cleotlon of Lincoln, to which (Jen. Foster, with eqaal satire, replied that his defeat in Pennsyl vania could not have effeoted the defeat of Lane in Oregon !

Addhess hbfore the Board of Trade nr a Member op tiie British Parliament.— lt was stated In The Press of Hnturdny morning that nn impromptu mooting of tho Board of Trado con vened at noon on Friday, at their rooms, to hear an addrefis by D. M. Lindsay, Eiq., M. P., on tho subject of tho shipping and commercial interests iof Great Britain and tho United States. But Mr. Lindsay did not arrivo, ns was anticipated, and tho mooting, nftor waiting an hour for him, adjourned. It Was subsequently asoertalnad that Mr Lindsay had been detained on tho railroad, and arrived in ithls city on Friday evening. Notice was given, and a meeting of tho Board of Trado was held on Saturday, at noon, for the purpose of hoaxing what , l Mr. Lindsay had to say. A number of prominent 1 business men wore present at the meeting. ; Mr. Morton, tbe Proeidcnt of the Board of Trade, 'introduced Mr. Lindsay to tho meeting in those words: •* I have pleasure in introducing to you Mr. Lindsay, member of the British Parliament, who visits this country with a view of conferrins with our pnnoipnl Hoards of Trado. and thus eventually to reconcile somo difToroucoa that exist between the Government of Gr at Britain and that of our own regarding tho liability of ehip-owcersm enso of collision at sea, and otuer nrnt te»s which nro governed by the maritime laws of the respective nations. Mr. i mdsay will now proceed to address you, and I ask for him tc&t attention that the subicoffi so enuner.tly drrervo.” Mr. Limloay expressed his regret that an announce ment baa been nude that he would be present in Pbila dpjphm on Friday. He rpgretted the oircumstance, .buthe hednot authorised the annoanccmant that b* would be prtitent on the day nhmed. He then went on to reier to tn& litot that he bad already visited several .citltis in the United fctatca and v-nnaaa', where he inq h£lu conversational meetings upon the subject of cam- TnerclAt <meaUims-in.whiclu>oth nations are interested. '*** tepweanetßi pan FrieisV-f men or th« Ofnmtry, but of none oPwhom had ho formed amsfier opinion than pf Mr- Hannibal Harolin. with whom he had spent a most interesting and delightful afternoon; ■nadwho had since been elected Vise President of the* Un'fed Btatfs. Mr. Lindsay then referred to tho difficulties encoun tered from the difference of the Taws in the United States and England in respect to maritime affairs, in speaking of Chicago, he said that the exports this year twou d reach fifty millions ol bushels of gram, and its entire exports would reach two hundred and fifty mil lions of dollars. Be then reierredtotho probable future ot that oity and trade. The law forbids that tbe coast wise trade should bo done in other than American vos sols, while Canadian laws forbid that it should be dona o-j Aniorionn bottoms, oiftiieir const. He thought this policy unwise upou the part of both countries, and dis advantageous to both. England had tr ade such laws, ami Bhe had seen the folly and error of them. The diflerential duties ot Canada upon the commerce of both countries he believed to bo injurious to both, ild believed that if the "nited States would make con cessions iu respect to lior trodo. Canada wou d throw down the barriers against the lake trade, and make liberal reductions in the tans' of Amotio&n goods. The laws ol' fcngland respecting light-house' d> o«, pilotage, &o„ ho doomed unfair and ungenerous: but no believed Urnt if concessions were made by the United States in respect to her coastwise trade. .England would meet ua halfway in respect to the dues just referred to. He behoved that the oommeroial interos’g of England and America were mutual, and ho urgod the removal of restrictions which had been made when the interetts of toe two nations wore distinct and at vananoe with each other, and when thero was a narrow jealousy. The speaker then toferred to the ropeal of the naviga tion laws of England, and urged that free tr-de had been of great importance to Great Britain. Ho thon went into on elaborate argument to prove that free trade had boon of immense England, and he inferred that tho United States woulc reap an equal degree of advantage from the pursuit of tho sump pohoy. Upon tho iniquities of the shipping system* as re gards seamon. Mr. Lindsay desoanted at some length. Previous to 3854, iu Ungland, the onpips, as they we re ashed, controlled the interests of the seamen. He would apply no harshor tenn to them. IA voioe--“ Wo call them landsharks.”! That epithet fits them ex actly. They are tandsharks. Hut, in )834, England took away their occupation, and established Govern ment shipping offices, with savings banks attached. Where Beamon woro both shipped and paid off, and where, if they wanted to send money to their families, nr waited to deposit it. they could do bo before ooming In oontaot with the crimps. Only English captains were allowed tho privilege of aooess to theso shipping oflioe?, but if they weye duly established in thm coun try, a system of reciprocity would be conceded, so that eacJi countiy could beuriil by them; and the character of our seamen bo largely ameliorated. As it now is. this country ouly obtains tho rifl'raft—roon who cannot obtain tho cnirt ot the Government shipping ofhoes in England. , r , , At tho close of hiß remarks the speaker was ap plauded. Mr. Thomas M. Kijnbor then suid that in common with all others present he luid boon muoh interested m Alr/Xiimlsay’s lemarks; nhd however we might difler on the subject of the Atlantic coasting trade, he lolt bound to say that to fur as the groat commerce of tho lakes was concerned, there oould be no doubt of tho im kortance And noecesity of throwing off alt shipping ro utnctionsr Thuunke oommcrce hud roached m 2856th0 enormous aggregate of sis hundred miihonß of Collars, and although the pnoo of grain was lower uow than at tiat period, yet tho vast harvesisof tho veer would bo increase the quantity shipped, that the total va'uatron would exoecd that oflßso. Ol this trade nearly s‘6o ((W.OOO a year was transacted With Canada and the British Erovinoos ; a vast increase having taken place in Unit commerce since tho date qf the Reciprocity Treaty. Now, in Canada, owing to tho rapid extension of set tlement, and the comparative sparseness of population, labor and capital commanded about tho same pnoo as In the United States, and hofcce ~we would not be the sujiVrers, ami wpuld probably bo paineis by throwing off nil commercial restrictions between the lake ports of the two countries, lie apprehended there was a great difference on the Atlantic coast; since the value ofioopital in this country is about double that in Eng land. Although we might build ships to soil there, we oould hardly afford yet to hold and run those vessels in competition on equal terms with Bri'isb oapital. Mr. Kimfoer, beToro olosice, begged to call Mr. Lind say'satteuLou to thowiportantsubject bearing on the jiijtaal commercial relations of Great Britain ani Amc ricaof apniform system or weights and measures, as wsll as of coinage, wbioh would vastly promote the trade between the two countries. When a small shipper, by a glance at a Liverpool price ourrent, instead of seeing that wheat was so many ghMngs per quarter—which conveyed po idea to the great buik of our population—could know how many cents per bushel it was worth, he oould make Urn onlou latiohof the freights and costs or shipment, apd not promptly ; where now, through tho neoeesiiy of pro ceejlipg tbtouKh regular and laige dealors, the trade waq often lost to lain. He would therefore unro on Mr. Lindsay to emhrnoo this subjeot also somewhat in his observation, and to exert an influence to accomplish uniformity m these r<*BpoolB. •Mr. Lindsay, in response, said he felt much obliged by ihe bus:* option with regard to the lakes, and had no doubt it would meet with favor among many who were not prepared yet for the freedom of Atiantio coast trade. He vais olbo alivo to tho importance of uniform mea sures and coinage, nod had along interview with Mr. William Brown, before leaving, on the subjeot, and said -lie siioVud loso no .opportunity to press its claims at horns. : Mr, Morton, Prcsidont of tho'Board, then thanked Mr.J-indpay ior hife address, after whidh ho introduced him to a dumber of *entlomen. woluding Mr, Foil, *• the pnly free-trade man in th« room f * ' 1 ' • Mn Lmdsay, we understand, leaves Philadelphia to day. 1 Sad Oasu of SuiorpK.—Mr. Stephen J.

Burglaries are not only frequent in this neighborhood, but al ways successful, whioh must be attributed, in a measure, to the want of vigilance on the part of tho polioo on night duty in this vicinity.

It was ogreed that the name should be the “Jeffersonian Club of Philadelphia.” A long debate followed upon tbe adoption of the second seotion of the constitu tion, which gives tho right of membership to all males over eighteen years of age. A motion to insert twenty years .of ago instead of eighteen, was finally ogreed to. Tho Committee on Enrolment roported that sixty-six names bad been enrolled. The constitution and by-laws were then adopted, and tbe association adjourned to meet at the call of tho Prosident. Republican Meeting- at the Continen tal Headquarters—Expression of Kindly Feelings towards the Bouts.—A “congratula tory meeting*’ of the Continentals was held on Saturday evening, at the club room, Chestnut street,, above Sixth, in pursuance of a call which, aftor specifying the time and place, concluded with tho following significant paragraph: " Lot all friends of the Union, the Constitution, and tho enforcement of tho laws come; tot ail who are in favor ot the majority ruhng come; let all who look for worn to the adoption of a, protective policy coma : ami let there be one universal shout of praise for the glo rious result of the election, and give renewed assutance to our friends that • right makes might,’ and laugh to scorn tho ones of Disunion.” The defiant tone of the call was very generally disapproved of by tho lending men of the party, who depreoated any notion at this time oaloulated to inoreaso the unfriendly feeling existing at tbe South towards the North. It was said, however, that the more radical members of the organization were determined to “put the thing through” ac cording to tho sentiments contained in the call. This had the effoot to induoe a large attendance, and among those present wore the more refieotisg and prudent men of the party, determined, if pos sible, to oheok the exuheranoo of the over-sanguine and hot-headed portion. The conservative men ovidently had the majority, and the speeches ge nerally were of a most conciliatory character, and expressive of the kindest feelings towards our brethren of the South. The meeting was presided ovor by Wm. D. Moore, Esq., who introduced William B.

Such an establishment as this has long been needed 1 at thisMh tral locality, being on the southwest corner of our two most popular business thorougferee—Chestnut and Eighth streets. The store has been fitted up in excel lent taste, and arrangements have been made for oflbr ing to the trade the most complete stock of goods in the Gent’s Furnishing line ever offered 1n this city. A large proportion of their goods wiL be.imported by themselves direot from Europe, and their owe manu facturing force will enable them to compctkinpnoes with any other house in the oountry. We bespeak for this new enterprise, what it is certain to receive, the largest patronage of our oilmens.
