SATURDAY, JUNE 29, 1861
Additional Troops tor Canada.
On the memorable occasion when Mr. Pick
wick and his friends cc assisted," is the French
have it, in the All•lnggleton and Dingley
Defiers' Cricket Match, they partook so freely
of the united hospitality of the jolly beings-
rents, that they returned to Manor Farm ex-
pressing an intention, through the medium of
Song, not to «go home till morning." An
we have said, they returned—all of them in
what Fanny Kemble, when journalising, calls
a " how-came-you-so" condition ; Pickwick
and Wardle, Winkle and Snodgrass, and the
veracious Alfred Jingle, Esq., of NO
Nowhere. When enquiry was made as to the
cause of their condition, It wasn't the
wine," murmured Mr. Snodgrass, in a broken
voice. g< It was the salmon.” Upon which
Mr. Dickens, historiographer of the event,
added in a parenthesis, Somehow or other, it
never is the wine, in these cases.
John Bull, as far as our observation goes,
frequently avoids telling the plain truth. With
him, it always is the salmon, and never the
wine. This Nut just been exeMplified by the
excuses given for sending additional troops to
British North America, at this particular crisis.
Every cause but the true one has been assigned
I or such a measure.
The Times, which appears to have bad the
first information, made the following announce-
" It hm been, we are informed, determined::to
Belli three reg iments of infantry and a sufficient
amount of arti llery and munitions of war to rein
force the garrisons in British North America
These garrisons had been so redacted of late years
es scarcely to afford sentries enough for the proteo•
lion of the public, buildings at the most important
military posts, and, es their weakness seemed
even to invite attack, st has been thought desire
ble to place them in a position to command
respect from any irregular body tehich,, an a
moment of excitement, might feel tempted to
assail a place which seemed incapable of de
fence "
Here is a pretty strong insinuation, meaning
that John Bull seriously is afraid that as in a
moment of excitement," Uncle ' Sam should
feel tempted to assail" the moat important
military posts in British North America,
which, it seems, are so weakly garrisoned as
w even to invite attack," and, if attacked, to
be " incapable of defence."
The Globe, a Loudon journal, partly the
property of Lord Palmerston, and wholly in
his interest, enters more fully into the ques
tion. It says, "For the due protection of our
[the British] interests in Canada during the
American crisis the Government has come to
the resolution of making an increase to our
present exceedingly small military force in
that colony." It adds, w The act of the Go
vernment in sending out this small military
reinforcement to British North America is
simply one of those measures of pruience which
it would be inexcusable recklessness to ne
glect. It is quite possible that in the present
captious frame of mind of some of our Trans
atlantic friends it may be misrepresented, and
held forth as a political demonstration. If it
be thus represented we shall be sorry, but we
cannot help it. When prozimus ardet, it is
high time to see that our own fire brigade is
on a proper footing, and if we were to forego
such a necessary precaution it would be but a
sacrifice of wisdom at the shrine of false deli
cacy—a neglect of our own interests in order
to propitiate a jealeue imaceptibility to which
we are in no respect called upon to succumb."
Moreover, "at the present moment there is
but one battalion et the Line in all Canada,
and in sending three more there we merely re
store for the moment the establishment which
it was deemed necessary to maintain in other
times. In those days we had England and
Ireland, and most of our colonial possessions,
propady occupied in a military sense. We
gave this up in order to form at home an effi.
cient army of reserve, from which to take
what soldiers we wanted whenever we might
consider it necessary to resume our proper
footing in any dependency where there should
be reason to anticipate more than ordinary
trouble or excitement. We thus make the
military force of Canada equal to what it was
before we adopted the plan of denuding our
out-stations for the purpose'of maintaining a
respectable force as a nucleus at headgear
ters."
Here the Times gives one reason for in
creasing the British force in Canada, and the
Globe assigns another. We increase our Ca
nadian army, says the Thunderer, to prevent
attack cl from any irregular body [of Ameri
cans] which, in a moment of excitement,
might be tempted to assail a place [what
place n which seemed incapable of defence."
We send additional troops and artillery to
Canada, the Globe says, to restore the old
military establishment in our American pos.
sessions.
Again : the Times swaggers in a devil
may-care manner, and says it does not con
cern us how Uncle Sam takes this importa
tion of three regiments and a park of artil
lery ; besides the addition of sixteen gun
boats to the naval force at Halifax., on the
North American station. It impudently
dashes off: This country (England) has
chosen its course, and is not likely to depart
from it. That the Americana should expect
us to be swayed by any strong feelings of
attachment to the United States Gevern
ment argues an extraordinary forgetfulness of
what the conduct of that Government has been
to us on all occasions. While our behaviour to
the people of the United States has been al
ways conciliatory, it is no exaggeration to say
that their GeTeem/Lent has been. uniformly
hostile and ungenerous beyond any European
precedent, except perhaps that of the first
French Empire. In our Eurofean disputes,
our statesmen, when called upon to face hee
tile despotisms, have always been haunted by
the fear of having the dimerican Government
on their backs. Is the paltry quarrel they
fixed on us in the businesa of the enlistment,
or the tone of Kr. Seward's speeches, likely
to rouse us to enthusiasm in the cause of the
Government at Washington ? Neutrality—
strict neutrality—is all that the United States
Government elm claim -,• and, as we main.
Mined neutrality in the Italian war, when all
our sympathies were awakened, much more
shall we maintain it when we look on a strug

This is one way of sliding out of the guts&
vexata. It reminds ns of the lawyer who,
when he came to read his brief, found written
in it, it We have no ease l —ont pitch into the
plaintiff's attorney." The Globe, as before,
takes a different path. It says, in a gingerly
manner, ran their union and strength the
United States have always received from the
present generation of English statesmen, and
from the English public, a larger amount of
confidence and friendship than any other for
eign Power (ii) It is not our fault if it has
not been invariably reciprocated. In their
hour of difficulty and trial they will receive
from ns the same consideration arid good feel

by the Government were misconstraed into a
variation from this course. No one, who is
not either mischievous or incapable of sober
reflection, can torture it into a political move
ment, much less a hostile demonatration.

pire. Tbis detachment coats $15,000,000 a
year, out of which the Colonies contribute
only $1,500,000, or one-tenth.
The military weakness of the British Em
pire is scarcely known to the public, though a
recent Parliamentary return has given fall
particulars. The Times truly says:. cello

It proceeds to say : ic The entire ga eon

The British West Indies draw 4,000 mei

station, takes an entire regiment; St. Helena,
has 500; the Bahamas 400; and the Falkland
Islands only 37 infantry. The Mauritius takes
a battalion, and Ceylon 2,400 men. At each
of these stations, as also in the West Indies,
there is a certain force of artillery, and Hon
duras and the Bahamas have even one engi
neer apiece. The whole British possessions
in Africa, with the exception of the Cape of
Good Hope (which demands 6,500 men,) are
held by 1,000 soldiers.
All these make a total of about 20,000 men.
The Mediterranean settlements, including the
lonian Islands, carry off about 14,000 troops
from the Queen's army—in the proportion of
some 5,000 to Gibraltar, between 5,000 and
6,000 to Malta, and the rest to the Septinionlar
Government.
India is garrisoned by some 60,000 men, in
cluding 5,000 cavalry, and 5,000 artillery. It
is curious that Western Australia, which is
contented with ninety-five infantry, should
want seventy-five engineers, while all thereat
of Australia has but twenty-six, and all Canada
only eight. In Nova Scotia, however,. and
New Brunswick there is a considerable muster
of this scientific force, but there are only
eleven engineers in all the West Indies, and
only nine in Ceylon. The result is, that,
after supplying India and the Colonies, the
whole army , for Great Britain and Ireland is
only 45,000. We repeat, no fear of American
intrusion, but the necessity for carrying mat
ters with a strong hand in Newfoundland, aende
reinforcements to Canada.
Louis Philippe's Remains
The removal of Nerouox's remains from

the time. England, the most constant and
fatal foe of the dead hero, surrendered his

dead across the Atlantic to the banks of the

ROUND ABOUT WASHINGTON.
The Wanderings, Pondering', and Ont-of-the•
Way Loitering' of a Roving Yankee_
[oorressondenas of The Frau.]
Washington is not what it ante was. Whe
ther the change is for better or worse, it is
hardly possible to determine at a time when
war, With its pomp and dockage, its alarms
and echoes, its grim visage and its wrinkled
front, its frowning lashes and its glittering
eyes, usurp the calm tranquility of peace, and
unfit the mind for the sober therightfoluesa of
the pure, unbiased, moral reason. In one
point only is there a certain conclusion ar
rived at, by no course of argument, but by the
4ear and tuaraistakeble eloquence of a man's
personal experience. The heart teaches us
more acutely than the mind. And we feel in
the social vicissitude, which has so suddenly
dulled over our little worldly " Welkin blue"
a deeper, udder, and more impressive sense
of the deprivation, fortitude, and heroic moral
courage which a great revolution teaches, than
I could be forced upon the intellect by all the
sermons in Christendom. We see it around
us, we. feel it 'about us; in the faces of those
we meet its lines are to be traced ; in the old
haunts we were once se fond of frequenting,
ate meet its cold, hollow breath. A great, a
root driver revolution truly— a revolution
which shall indeed leave us, as a nation,
nobler, truer, and greater—which shall purge
our political atmosphere of the damp, sni
ping° WI miasma which infected it, and cleansed
by the roar and flame of the cannon, like a
sultimer storm, our great Federal firmament.
It shall teach us wisdom, set us examples, and
paint us out the starry path which leads to a
national immortality. But into our private
nature, our individual comfort, our little, selfish
wants and ways, It comes like a tierce tornado,
which scatters and affrights, leaving us divided,
disconsolate, and aghast. My remarks apply
exclusively to this capital. It has been (I
-trust it may long be) our grand, social centre.
Many of our dearest friends, nay, our "sweet
hearts and wivea,) l have been here contracted,
and that out of the ends and sections of the
land, from the ice-bergs of Maine to the flora
of the Gulf of Mexico. Where are they
Row many remain, the old familiar faces, the
gladsome call? Many, indeed. We meet them
every day. But bow changed ! Some in uni
forms, with epaulets and sword, and " bearded
like the pard; ' some in tlie robes of office,
full of dignity and state; and some, more
luckless they, in rags and tags, the vi ctims of ,
hard times. And still many, very many, are
scattered to the four winds. I feel it peculiar
-myself. As I wander about those loved
rendezvous of the past, I seek in vain
those genial companions whose laugh
and song gave such a zest to old
Washington- Never have I felt this with
such force as this afternoon. I must own to
a sentimental feeling of down-heartedness as
I roam through the halls of this hotel (Wil
lard's)
and observe the striking change which
manifests itself everywhere. After a slow,
Speculative stroll up and down in the well
known place, I have sat myself down in the
deserted" lover's alcove," and am jotting down
these notes, whilst the fountain is drowsily
playing in the court below. I feel the drowsy I
numbness myself, as the "old, old times come
over me," with their sweet, silent, melancholy
appeal to the tender, tearful heart of man-
hood. I could, if I chose, write a biography
about the place and its associations. It has
seen some rare sights, it has known some rare
men and women, in the old days. Though
now the busy, bustling receptacle of crowds
of strangers, soldiers and civilians, it has
boasted more halcyon and stately times,
when grave Senators and grana dames, who
'never dreamt of treason, bobbed and hob
nobbed throughout its depths, and when light
some youth, giddy only in the mazes of the ;
dance, and intoxicated only with their own
love, {tried and floated in a haze of golden 1
light beneath the flashing chandeliers of ball- I
room or saloon. A royal place of old—a place '
where mirth and money flowed - with equal
freedom; where music and dancing filled the
air, and beaux and belles, vain only of them
selves and each other, lived solely for the glo
rious, entbounding pleasure of a winter season
and a campaign in the capital, the beacon of a
cadet's aspiration, the goal of a young girl's 1,

The halls and long corridors are deserted; the

So is it with myself. lam sitting in the
very chair—l know it by a private notch al
most imperceptibly cut upon the inside of the
round-which began and ended a tragedy,
which is worth seven• latter-day novels. I
must recall the half-forgotten event.
One bright morning several years ago there
arrived at Willard's a Southern Congressman
and daughter. The daughter was strikingly
handsome, very showy in conversation, ro
mantic in sentiment, and amiable in manners.
She played exquisitely upon the piano, too,
having been a pupil of Gustave Satter. Being
only "sweet sixteen," or thereabouts, not
very sober or sedate, nor of course much
versed in worldly experience, and without a
matron or guardian,save her father, immersed
in politics, it is no t be supposed that Jennie
C— should be up to all the dation which
alone form the shield and safeguard of a novice
against folly and frailty. She coelequently,
being a light-hearted creature, susceptible to
every new impression, soon became quite an
adept of that vice of our hotel system, co
quetry. She flirted extravagantly. She jilted
two old veterans, four captains, and a whole
squad of young Congressmen, in a very short
period ludeed. Bat, at last, there came two
suitors, both in bine coats and brass buttons,
who, for winning manners, graceful address,
and professional promise, as well as tact and
experience in the most difficult of campaign
ing, that of the parlor, were neither to be
duped nor discarded. Nay, their claims of
person and admiration were not far apart.
Both were dying for her; both were irrecon
cilable without her; both ware persistent and
passionate. I remember how they used to cut
at each other ; how they used to attend her;
how they straggled each for an ascendency
over at best but a pretty, pleasant young girl.
'At last matters became so fierce that a duel
could alone decide the quarrel between the
rivals. A challenge peeped; they went out
and fought, and one fell, seriously wounded.
The duel also decided the young lady. She,
probably thinking a lover Wounded in the heart
as deserving as one wounded in the body, ac
cepted the fortunate unharmed. They were
soon after married. Not long—not over two
months--Iter husband was ordered to Cali
fornia. Re left his wife behind him, and set
oat. But in crossing from San hien to the
Pacific port he chanced to be detained by the
Walker filibusters, and, improving his time,
as he thought, took a flying trip up to Gra
nada. There he met his old rival, who had
left the army and joined the adventurous band
in Central America, with a broken heart, they
said. The parties met in a cafe' the old quarrel
Was renewed; a Second challenge passed, and
the next mail carried back to the United
States the tidings to our heroine that she was
8 widow. The other and surviving of the two
lovers fell during the battle of Rivet; soon
after. Thus ended quite a tragedy of its
kind, suggested by one little square notch-
UPon an old rose-wood chair, cut many years
ago by Lieutenant D., (the husband,) on the
evening when the fair beauty entered into a
matrimonial contract.
They are sad places, these hotels. I have
often said their life, with He wild, unnatural,
exaggerated, and garish influence, contami
nates and corrupts our social system, to such
a degree, as may be fitly styled the vice of
American society. And yet they are, In their
way, attractive haunts for folly and gaiety.
The diversity of company, the variety of
amusement, the voluptuousness, which dwells
in the very atmosphere, tempts, whilst it cor
rodes. They are schools for hollow-hearted
nese, for coquetry and immodesty; menage
ries for the display of social deformities, de
ficiencies and indelicacies; great whirlpools,
where deices among the rubbish of life the
reeds, and thistle., and weeds of humanity;
its lilies and daisies to be tossed and tainted
at last; sometimes, oftentimes, never to be
redeemed.
And yet, with all its corruptions, I cannot,
as I sit here—here in the moonlight and the
tounteheepray, but regret the decline of this
grand, wicked old arena.

RELIGIOUS_
Our Southern Absalom.
Br GBAYBSABD.
Prom a careful analyst!, of hietorY, leered and
profane, it will be found that the annals of rebellion
against rightful government, constitute a history
or ingratitude, perfidy, and shame, from first to
last. Ile the Bible, rebellion, whether against
God, or his aocredtted earthly rulers, Is the syno
nym of wiekednese; and of which several notable
exemplar have been banded down to ue, so similar
to the rebellion now abroad In our own land that a
brief reference to them may not be uninteresting.
The rebellion of Absalom, to which I here desire
more wiped:illy to refer, is peoullarly in point.
Not that I believe the history of David's rebellious
son, or any other Jewish bieripture, to have a pro
phetic allusion to the United States, however much
oertain clergymen of the day may seek to estelslish
lash eanceation, in order to please the fancy re
congregations by their ingenuity. On the other
hand, I think it probable that no direct prophecy
in the Bible can be made to apply to this, or any
other eelsatry Outside the old Roman Empire, or
,‘ prophetic, earth," without adopting a foroed, and
hence dangerous system of interpretation. In
speaking of our "Southern Abealom," therefore, a
envious parallelism only is intended,
Abash= wee the third son of David, by Meacab,
the daughter of Telma', King of Gesbur. By an
unlawful and highly-criminal mode, he took it in
his own bands to redress a wrong, by stealthily
murdering his brother. Absalom was a handsome,
dashing fellow, none more so in the kingdom, and
was noted for the profusion of his beautiful hair-
The fatal stab given to his brother Amnon at the
" Sheep-shearing feast," though not immediately
direetad mistiest biz father David (who in this oom
parisontakes the place of our Government, or its
chief heed,) was done, consciously, againet his will.
In consequence of this he hastened Immediately
away to the King of Geshur, his,father-in-law-
With all his faults, this unruly bay was still deer'
to his father's heart, although the latter did not
degrade the dignity of his high position by any
dishonorable compromise with the offender. In
due time, however,.through undeserved kindness,
he was reinstated in his , father's family. [The
faultil hitherto may ha regarded as equivalent
to the wrongs long and patiently endured by
our common country at the hands of haughty
Southrone.] But Absalom had royal pretensions.
He, of all the house, was of royal dement by the
side of his mother, and whatever legitimate oh
staolee might be' in his way, he was in for the suc
cession at all hazards, be that at the peril of the
kingdom, through the murder of his own kindred,
or even the heart's blood of his father—anything
for the crown !
Rightfully, this pretender was in a mznonty—
oattainly while David lived. But be was not to be
delayed in his lust for power by any such legal ob
staele. It was possible that the reigning adminis
tration might, at ire close, favor his pretensions;
but then, under the peculiar theocratical institu
tion:, of the ilebrevoi, there was a power behind
the throne greater than the throne itself—the
power of the Divine King to direct at his will, (a
sovereignty even greater than that of our ballot
box) over which' the outgoing administration
could bees no absolute control. In snob a ease,
for Absalom to achieve his unholy purpose, of
course the rights of God and man must be set at
nought. A conspiracy must be inaugurated. As
it is said, "Absalom sent spies throughout all the
tribes of Israel, saying, As soon as ye bear the
round of the trumpet, then ye shall say, Absalom
reigneth in Hebron." It appears, also, that this
head rebel had his friends in the capital, and even
in the cabinet ! for we are told that " With Absa
lom went two hundred men out of Jerusalem."
Then came the great cabinet rebel—from accounts,
the equal of Cobb, Thompson, and Floyd, com
bined : " And Absalom sent for Ahithophel, the
Gilonite, David's eon seller. And the conspiracy
was strong ; for the people increased continually
with Absalom."
Absalom, aleo, to entitle him still more to rebel
regard, was a princely thief—as it is said "ha
stole the hearts of the men of Israel." Hie great
ness was not manifested by the honorable method,
but by the magnitude of his undertakings. " The '
kingdom or nothing," seems to have been bla
beau ideal. In one particular hie success was
more signal than that of his modern antitype,
Jeff. Davie and his crew. He had no sooner pro
claimed himself Ries at Hebron [Montgomery],
than King David lUncile Sam] retired from Jerusa
lem., from fear of the usurper, leaving the way clear
for Absalom to go up and lakapossession of Hsi
throne without opposition. The subsequent result
of this unnatural rebellion ought to have been a
warning to all future rebel'. The King, it is said,
soon raised a large force, properly organised
which he divided into three divisions. The Gene
ral Scott in that important campaign was Joeb,
to whom was entrusted the chief commend. The
deoleive battle was fought in the borders of
Rphraim, one of the Southern States, or
divisions of Palestine, adjacent to the capital,
[eorreeponding strikingly to our Virgtnia;—
Ephraim baying subsequently become a sort of fe
deral heed of the ten seceding tribes—as Virginia
is now of eleven seceded States—whilst Judah con
tinual to represent the loyal subjects. For this
reason, the prophet, speaking of the millennium,
glorifies it as a time when "Ephraim shell not
envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Epttraim,"l
and through the tactics of Joab, in drawing them
into the wood and hemming them in, resulted in
the destruction of the rebel army, twenty thou
sand of their troops having been left dead upon
the field, whilst their discomfited leader, Absalom,
in his night upon a swift mule, (the Asa of defeated
Seoeasion,) in panting beneath a tree, was caught
by his long hair in the branches and was left sus
pended. The am, alas ! was gone ; the aroh-rebel
was hung, and, notwithstanding David's procla
mation of "mercy to the offender," in the event
of his capture, General Joab pierced him through
with three darts. In this, Joab, as the sequel
proved, acted in accordance with popular senti
ment.
The analogy existing between this rebellion and
that of Jeff. Davie h Company scarcely requires
comment, even as seen from the outline here pre
sented. Indeed, it looks as much like an allegory
of what is now transpiring in our own midst, as
an actual history of what occurred three thousand
yearn ago. Among the point's that are partiOUlarly
striking in this oomparlson, however, the following
are curious : Absalom was proud of his royal de
scent, and lasted for a throne. How suggestive

hardihood to commit murder under the sacred name
of " honor," by making a feast, inviting the hated
brother, and then, when he was warm with wine,
aseasslnating him, thrOugh his agents employed
previously for that purpose? How this act recalls
the assassination of the lamented Broderick, ands
atilt later, of the gallant young Ellsworth, arable,
and others! Absalom's hirsute appendage la eel;
suggestive, no less on account of the long hair of
his kindred of the " sunny South" than the peon
liar substitute It eventually furnished for hemp.
The unmerited love and forbearance of David to
Wards his Unnatural son is the very counterpart of
the lenity with whioll hitherto the enemies of our
Government have been treated by the Administra
tion. It is Worthy of remark, also, that the too
great lenity of David was in the end rebuked by
his loyal subjects. In the short out whist the re.
bale made for political power, after suffering an
honest and constitutional defeat at the ballot•lmx
last fall, they also showed their Abealomitith pro'
olivity to rule or ruin. Their reign in Montgomery
(our Debrcin) was apparently suesiessful, and, but
for the prompt action of the Federal Government,
their throne would no doubt ere this have been
established at Washington (our Jerusalem), amid
the corruptions of a courtly harem. In averting
this calamity, Our Abraknnt compares with David

The New York Antr•War Editorial
Convention.
This body met in New York on Thursday even
ing, and numbered among Its members the follow
ing gentlemen : P. G. Horton, of the Day Book :
ROIL Benjamin Wood, of the Daily Nam ; Mr.
Thomas Smith, of the Yonkers Herald ; F. L. Ha
gedorn, of the Troy Budget ; M. P. Williams, Of
the Hudson. Gazette ; Abbe Mellester, of the
Freeman's Journal; Gaylord J. Clark, of the
Lockport Advertiser ; W. H. Merriam, of the Troy
Union; II A. Reeve., of the Greenpoint Bratehs
man ; C. N Pine, formerly of the Chimp Herald;
D. J. Holstead and G. W. Gray, of Syracuse, and
one or two others. They all flguredooneplorionsly
in the late campaign as the ardent supporta! of
Breokinridge. The Committee on Resolutions made
the following report, whloh was unanimously
adopted :
Resolved, That we earnestly desire the per-
petuatieti.of the' Union of these States; but, in the
language of the lamented Stephen A. Dangle.,
ire
believe that 4i war is disunion," and that if the
Union be continued, it must be upon the principles
on which it was formed, via ; the voluntary On
cent of its members; that any other mode is cub
versive of the principles of self government; and
hence, In order to restore this Union, the brat re
quisite is pesos, to the end that all questions may
be Rattled. not despotically, by the sword, but vo
luntarily; by free consent of the American people.
Resolved, That the present alarming and de
plorable condition of our country has arisen mainly
frcm the exercise of unconstitutional powers by the
present Chief Magistrate, who has not hesitated to
inaugurate a war 7r to enlist a large standing army
-to increase the navy—to seize private papers—
to deny citizens the right to bear arms, and to
suspend-the of babies' corpus; all of midi*
cote ere in directvielatien of art. 1, seetimia43 and
9, of the Constitution of 'the United Matte ) 441 of
the amendments thereto, art: 2 and'art. 44
Resolved, That the enormous expenses - of the
present war will seriously burden Cur people;
that a standing army is dangerous to the safety of
the °Wawa ; that its expense is drawn from the
toil of the Agricultural and working, classes ; that
the Morrill tariff is simply a part of the machinery
of monarchy to enrich the few at the expense of
the many, and that wemator our firm and earnest
protest against all of these measures, ea opposed
to the principles of tree Democraoy and destruo
'live to the liberties and material interests of the
people of the Northern States. :
Resolved, That the Republican party has
proved that all its protenelone of devotion - to
6‘ freedom, free speech, and free dismission" were
simply cloaks to ooneeal their real enmity to liber
ty and the constitutional guarantees of citizens,
and that the attempt to muzzle the Democratic
press by mobs and terrorism, to prevent citizens ,
front expressing their honest opinions, calls for and
deserves the sternest condemnation of every true
friend of law, order, liberty, and the ittalienable
rights of man.
Resolved, That in view of the many miming
violations of the fundamental principles of the
Constitution, it beoomes the duty of - the Demo•
oratio preset and of all friends and advocates of
free institutions, to unite in resisting these alarm
ing Heides towards a despotic, consolideud - systom
of government ; and that it be especially attg
gaited to all friends of peace and oaniiitutional
liberty, irrespeotive of party, to agree upon a joint
and mutual basis for action at the present odes.
Resolved, That we adjourn to meet at the oall
of the chairman of the Democratic Associatlon"Of
the State of New York, at the regular meeting to
be held during the present ember.
Before adopting the _resolution; they erased
clause declaring itinexpedient to *loot any , person
to office who la not opposed to the "war.
The resolution adopted, there was rio longer
clear jailing. Mr. Williams, their ohalunan, re.
fused to have his name appended to any snob *-
solution, and would not allow It to. go forth to the
world as sanctioning the resolution to be pub
lished. Some little indignation was manifested,
when a motion was made, and carried In less than
no time, removing Mr. Williams from the office of
president of the Convention. and pls.:deg Dale
min Wood, of the News, in his place. This little
episode in the proceedings of the Fourteen being
over, the Convention adjourned.
Startling Intelligence from Virginia

BNB oar 0010011H70 — A ciriout.en PROM 11111321-
HAND—THE REBILL/ON
[Fronk the New York Tribune of reaterder.l
We have received froin 'the lion. John Minor
Botts &letter, dated Washington city, June 94,
1861, which he opens by saying : " Tort will he
aurprieed to hear from me, and especially from this
place. It was with great danger I reached here,
and only under cover of a disguise." That so dis
tinguished a citizen of Virginia could only thus
reach the capital of hie country, pains even more
than it surprises its. The feet is one of those std.
king comments neon the oharaister of the Southern
Inerurreolion which do not need to , be enlarged,
upon. . .
.Bat the context of Mr. Botts' letter is even more
surprising than the circumstances under which it'
Is written. Re is in Wathington as a member of
Congress, and Is there, we presume, to take his
seat In the House, on the Fourth of July next.
This important fact has been suppreesed by the
Richmond papers, but we have the authority of
Mr. Botts himself for the statement, In these pre
cise terms : " I announced myself as a candidate
for the Richmond district, end received 173 votes,
which, there being no opposition, elects me."
But the letter brings us other and even more
important intelligence. We learn from it that the
Southern insurrection of white men Is already at
its last gasp, while insurrections of Southern
bleak men threaten the destruction of elaVery.
And these facts we have not only on the testimony
of John Minor Botts, who might be regarded as a
partial witness, but on the authority of. Gen.
Besuregard himself, who is certainly more com
petent to speak upon the subject than any othir
man in the country. Beanregard, says Mr. Botts,
has sent a cirouler South, from which the following
is a quotation:
the Cotton States do not nose and equip
ane hundred thousand men an sru meths, wn arts
RHININ !"
Go much for the white insurrection. On the
blacks, he says
" Our troops in this State, (Virginia,) to a great
extent, are busy in suppressing insurreedons
among the blacks. They are breaking out In
every direction."
But this has a significance to us, at the North,
.which ruts a new face upon this question. General
Beenregard's Circular adds : " But for this your
desire to see Washington on ruins would long
sines have been gratified."
There is another bic of news in Mr. Botts' letter,
more interesting than important. We have more
confideuee in "Rein Billy" Smith's disposition
than hie power to do mischief. Re, says Air. Botts,
"is now in this city"—Washington. The object of
his visit is to correspond with Maryland traitors.
The Legislature of that State, Mr. Botts assures us,
has been advised by Jeff. Davis to continue in see
eion, adjourning only for short intervals "Smith,"
he adds, "was in the War Department to day, die
gniaed as a beggar."
It is proper to add that we have the permieslon
of Mr. Botts to give to the public, this morning,
the principal and most Interesting feats contained
in his letter. Oar readers, no less than eureelves,
will be greatly indebted to him for this permis
sion.
