On Tuesday we noticed', &ith a striking ex tract eh the death of tried and pure patriots, more especially referring to the late Senator Douglas, the eloquent and argumentative 't’ourtli-of July address delivered by G. I!'. Ward, Esq., of Towanda, Bradford county, at in tlie same part of the country. We now take leave, though this thoughtful oration was not intended for publication, to make.some farther extracts. : After a very clear'and graphic picture ol the'height Of prosperity which had boon at tained by our country prior to the commence ment of the present unnatural rebellion, the address concludes with the following forcible summary of the ovils which'tvould result from destroying the existing organization. We earnestly commend it to the perusal of all who are yot hesitating. in their loyalty .to - the present Government, and the noble efforts it is making, to maintain the integrity of the Union: ' X bays thua ende&Volred to ■ eitiibit the souroeS of the national prosperity, iu.whSoh tro rioted, as it were, only & few moHtnft tibfio, as consisting in the freedoKt of irar country ; the industry and in telligence of our people ;■ out .limitless resources,, and our manifest advahtages of commercial inter course with a divided and warring world. Bat there is yet another element tif ofcr'uappiness and prosperity aS a nation, whioh is far more potent than all these : it is the advantage or encourage ment affordedby the idea of strength and peroia neno9, resulting from a steadfast maos of these powerful States, under an adequate and stable Government. To this, and tho virtue of onz peo ple, under the blasting of HeaVen, are we more indebted than to eVery oth’er oirSdmstance or rela tlon. Take from us all else beside; steep us in poverty fo the very lips; let ohr soil be made barren, and onr tky bo perpetually overoast; cripple ail the Wings of ©hr wide spread commerce, hud 'crowd eur borders with an armed foe ; still, baited and virtuous, we might laugh the world to sooru. Bat, os th« oontrary, break tbe bonds of oar glo rious politiosl f&brio in twain, and all oar proud privileges and distinctions as a nation will perish beneath Its rains! Let theJ&nionbeloH, find ALT. is hosTlndustry would then lose its inaentive, and stand appalled; onr commercial marine would ihonldor and deoaf at out desolate wharves; the busy hdik of the shattlo would subside in our fac tories ; the fires in our forges find fnrnaoes would pale, and many a plodgh Be staged in. its furrow. Poverty and famine would stalk abroad through out the land; and violonoo and crime would dog tltiih footstops. Then, to fill up the measure of our country’s wretchednoss, _war, civil wah— the most sanguine and brutal under Heaven, would bo let loose, its tiger-tooth" dripping with i the best blood of our citizens. The smoke of j destruction worH. fmflg Over our eities as over the j doomed cities tf the past, and the wild shouts of ! rage, and the shrieks of madness and despair, go ! up from our depopulated valleys! When all these | accumulated horrors terminated, it would natu- i rally, if not inevitably, be in the sad sullenness of I despotism, In the silent darkness of slavery, un der some daring military despot, whom, perhaps, | an army of our oWn sons and brothers had placed i in dominion over the mins of the Kepublio ! The clank of fetters would ring Where we were wont to hear the glad songs of freedom, and the darkest and moßt loathsome Shade of infamy would brood | over the land of Washington. This gloomy ploture of disunion and its fatal fruits, my friends, iB not the exhalemeut of an ex cited imagination or a distempered fancy. I wish to Heaven it mere mob, and only such. But no: tbey are simply the scenes, in their full. maturity, which are now beginnlng-fSlriJreak upon our view i in several of the Southern States of this Union. Bach morning's gleaming sunlight brings new re velations of those dark and dreadful shadows, rising up, one after, another, in grim and ghastly array. Bvory breeze from the South comes to us laden with the din of arms and the clangor of battle; of Uaml* between brothers of the Same lineage, and sharing the same goodly heritage left by patriotia fathers; of eattlts waged men on the giddy hmghts —”~' is thief I will give,.what I appre hend to bo the true answer to this question, fear lesaiyand frankly.-. This is no time for anything bat bold, honest words and works. I reply, then, | these impending horrors are the mingled rpsultaof a hoatedi pragmatloal fanatioism on the one hand, | and of nnohastoned and overweening ambition, culminating in open treason, on the other. In ■regard to the oourso Of tbo Southern leaders of this rebellion, (for such, in truth, it is,) I have nothing left to offer, either in defenoe or pallia tion For years past, many of you have hoard me plead earnestly and ogam, the cause of the South as against the mad clamors of Aboli tionism. In regard to their system of servi tude I have said always, as I 000 tend even now that it should be left where our fathers left it by the Constitution—to the consciences of the people of the Several States, and of the organized Territories, to be regulated by looal law Having abolished Afnoan servitude our selves- if the system be a .sm, wo have not to an. swer for it' if an evil, we suffer not under it. But whatever may have beon the various theories upon this question- as held by Individual members of the political parlywhich presented Abraham Bln coin for the Presidency,rithe South has no just ground of complaint in the premises. Throe new Territories have been admitted into the Union as States since his advent to power, Without any in .vidious restriction whatever; and, as far as I have observed, the public laws have all been faithfully enforced- ■ ■ The doctrine, now sought to be carried out, that a State has a right to secede and break op the Union at will, is everyway absurd and untenable There stands the plain, written oompaot of oar fathers: to that compact, after doe deliberation, and after haring fairly tried a less tenacionsliga ment of union, they solemnly subscribed, and s® bound their sons. Its blessings and its : benefits have been seen and felt throughout long years of peace and boundless prosperity. The only honest and legitimate mode of Changing any of Its condi tions, is pointed out with the utmost dearness, in the noble instrument ltseif. Those, then—oomo they from North or South—who openly refuse, or covertly neglect to comply with any of its behests, not’only dishonor the manes and memory of their , fathers, but are guilty of striking at the most be neficent form of government on the face of the earth-’ ■ The path of the upright American patriot in the present ; crisis is as oloarly open before him as if traoed with sunbeams. He should adhere faith fully .to all the compromises and concessions—all the principles and provisions of the Constitution. . To the innumerable evils I have already advert ed to, as following in the, train of a divided Con federacy, we may add, a meagre, looal traffic; a flag unknown and nnrespeoted on th© seas; do-: mostio sedition and intestine hrpils, mocking the headlong violence of the seceding Btates them selves; a comparatively feeble army, yet with in creasing conflict, all around and within okr bor ders! O, ,who >®» be so weak or wicked, as to haaard all these evils, that now beholds floating above his head those glorious old stars and stripes, which have always compelled, respect throughout the world; who finds peace and social order at home, scoured equally to the whole Union, by an irresistible power; who, I^ay—seeing and feeling all this, and more in its favor—will not ding with unfaltering devotion to the common hopes, the common flag, and common destiny of the American Union? . ■ Divide this magnificent oountry ! How, and: by what lice? Not, Barely, by the dark domarka- I tion of Slavery, an institution of man's selfiabnera, of disputed moral- right, and of still: more ques tion&'nlo expediency in a political point of view 1 Tho Hreat Architect of the Onivorso made this continent one and indivisible; planted its broad lakes; reared its massive, rook;ribbed moun tains; and traced the paths of its, noble rivers, throaghont their branches, and long,, sinuous courses to tho sea.:' Who, then; shall impiously and unnaturally dare to separate into jealons and I warring sections, wnat has thus been joined to gether by the hand of Omnipotence itself, as it were? Observe, (is illustrative of the abmrdi'y of such an attempt,) lying! almost In the centre Of the limits of oaf Country, that vast inland , basin, termed the Yalley..of the Mississippi; stretching away along the 42 i parallel of North latitude, as it runs out upon the Pacific ocean: this great valley contains within reach of Ha drainage more than a million ef square miles of rloh foaslble land, and; is capable of rearing, and probably rear, in time,* more than fifty larger States than old Massachusetts, and of austainiog a popu lation TURica sirrv times greater than hors is at .j [resent!

' The labor of our country will be fullyroar presented*;by .the .brave arid hardy,son's of ’freedom Who, in their own porsons, will go forth th exterminate this hydra of suffering all things and enduring all things,, oven to wounds, imprisonment, or death, so they can leave to posterity the . rich legacy of Civil and religious liberty bequeathed to thorn, by the mercy of God, through the bravery ©f their noble and patriotic ancestors; : , . . The wealth of the land must, represented infnnnsbing these self-sacrificing heroes with every comfort and ■ requirement that money can procure, for carrying on their operations; and the first'and most Important subject of consideration is the measaresthat should be adopted for this purpose, so as to bear justly on,* every citicen,• and thit-oach. shall; pay his fair proportion, and no.more.- This object cannot be attained by any tariff that may be devised; for the, revenues from imposts are always in proportion to the amount of the articles consumed. Hence, if the duty oh articles of general consumption, is mate rially increased, the Consumption of those ar ticles is proportionallyßestricted, hr It.'may. be, entirely prohibited; and the scheme of ob taining a revenue by such means will prove an entire failure! In failing to obtain a rev'e. niie in this-manher, however; a serious injury is inflicted on onr trade, commerce, and mauut factnros, besides the suffering of pnr Cliisehsy in thns being deprived of necessary comforts.' For instance, it is apparent that, in conso queues ef the general stagnation of ; business great numbers of our people, will be deprivet of the means of earning their dally bread ; and yet it is proposed materially to increase the . duty on sugar, tea, and coffee. . These have ceased to be articles; of luxury, and;,by con stant, general use, have become matters of absolhtenecesslty.

Re sort will be had to the maple, the beet, and the Chinese sugar cane, for sugar; rye, as in former years, will beused as a substitute for coffee: and the health-giving herbs oi our forests and fields will supersede imported teas. Thus the masses will be deprived of these ne. cessary comforts; the revenues of the country will not be Increased; but a serious injury, as above stated, will be inflicted on the trade, commerce, and manufactures of offr Country. Articles of home product, which are generally bartered for these commodities, wilt no longer bo in demand; our carrying trade Would be proportionally affected ;..and we.should meur needlessly the hostile feelings of those with whom this trade would thus summarily aua unnecessarily he broken up.

I These'evils may, all >be avoided byoadopting I the'‘following simple system, which seems sufficient for all onr necessities in the present crisis, to wit: .. . „ , | Regulate the tariff so as to reduce articles I of general consumption to the lowest possible rate, consistent with revenue sufficient for the ordinary expenses of the Government, and an incidental protection to onr own manufactures. Increase the duty to a high protective rate on | fine cloths, flue woollen and cotton fabrics, fine cutlery, silks, velvets, wines, brandies, and spirits of all kinds, laces, and all articles of luxury. By these means the manufactures of I flue woollen and cotton fabrics in this country will be sustained, and the establishment en-.l couraged of factories of silks, velvets, laces, 2cc© - I In fact, this tariff should bear as light-1 ly as possible on all articles of general use among the great masses of the people, and so regulate the entire revenue as to make It sum-1 clent for all the ordinary expenses of the Go vernment in time ofpeace, exclusive, entirely, of 'all ’ extra ‘ expenses of J the’ army and navy. ■ 1 To meet the expenses of the war, let the loyal States apportion the entire debt which has been or may bo incurred among them selves, in proportion to their wealth, as shown I by the census returns. -Each State, under I authority ot its Legislature, to issue notes ef the denomination of five dollars and upwards, bearing interest at five per cent, till redeemed, to the amount ot its apportionment ot tbo war debt. Tho Legislature to impose a tax on real and personal property, money at interest, I stocks of all kinds, Ac., sufficient to liquidate 1 their portion of such debt and interest within | twenty yearsj specifying, particularly, the war I tax, so that it shall not interfere with the or- I dihary taxes for the expenses of the State Go vernment, and providing that the notes thus I issued shall be received in payment of the war this policy, direct tax will be imposed by tbo people of the several States, through I their immediate, representatives, and will be cheerfully paid.

The State notes can be issued as needed,— classified, and made redeemable at specified times, so that each class can certainly be redeemed at tho time Hx.B&> by the fuuu dedicated to that purpose. .

All graduation laws of the prices of the public lands should he re pealed, and a guaranty given, that those lands should not bo sold for less than ten shillings per acre, till alter thirdebt was wholly paid j and all pension aud bounty-land laws should be extended to the officers and soldiers of this The above is only a skeleton outline of the plan, from which, however, a bill can easily be. drawn, filling out the whole scheme, it would evidently.be desirable to have a new bureau connected with the Treasury, War and Navy Departments, to he. called the War Finance: Bureau, and to have charge of all the financial arrangements: for this war. Johh WrtsoH, of Chicago. JjtikcWarm Royalty. [Por Tho Press.] At the beginning of our present troubles (while, in Congress, tho Government was being opposed by the Southern faction, and before tho present Southern loaders had openly taken the stops which wore to prove therh the perjurers and thieves, par excellence , of the age) the probable course of tho so-call ed Border States formed the subject of much conjocturo and many fears. . The geographical position of these States is such that a victorious North, or. vindictive South, it' opposed to'thoni, couldinuict groat injury. Their interests seemed to be divided. Largely agricultural, their productions are, in some instances, those of slaves, and, in other, those ofTreomen. Add to this that tho brecd- ing of slaves, as a business, employs a large part of their capital, and the fact that their population contained some of the most viru lent advocates of the treasonable councils of Davis, Toombs, and Yancey, and it will not bo difficult to account for the oscillation be tween loto of the South and fear‘of tho North that tho councils of the Border States. The sequol proved'that-the feara of the North regarding those States were not ground less; Maryland and Missouri were not safe to tha Union until the traitors within their bor ders were awed by the presence of a military forco sufficient, if necessary, to destroy-thom. Virginia has proclaimed herself out :of , the- Union) and is now arrayed in,arms against Jhe Government. - In all these States there has been an appa rent above-board dealing with the issues now before the nation, which ought to Bhame the double-dealing ot Kentncky, evidently glory ing in the ambiguous and anomalous position her Secession Governer is endeavoring; to maintain. When President Lincoln issued his -first requisition for troops, the Governors of the Border States severally returned replies, in some cases impertinent, in all unsatisfac tory. ‘They evidently desired to be in and out of the Union at the same time, and, in this, Magoffin stands no worflo than the others; '.The treatment he has received from the au thorities at Washington 'is, however, excep tional and,- hence, objectionable. When the Government desired to move^,, troops, Dela ware, Maryland, and Missouri were-not suffer ed to resist their onward march. Kentucky, the home of Breckinridge, was.allowed to do. so. Evidently oblivious of the old. truth, that, au open enemy is moro . easily dealt with than a lukewarm friend, and that. a man. cannot -servo two masters, Kentucky has, to this day, been permitted to forbid the passage of the Union lorces over the Ohio. She has not alone thus protected the Sesessionists of Ten nessee and, the Southern interior, but has suf fered the mustering of her-own citizens as re cruits ior the rebel ranks ;-discouraging the friends of Union, while smiling at the minions -of. rebellion. .The violations, by her citizens, of the Federal prohibition of mails and sup plies to the Southern Confederacy are. so gla ring and frequent, apd the profits derived from this illicit traffic so large, that it may well be questioned whether the «thirty pieces oi sil ver,” for which the Louisville merchants seem willing to betray their country and to sell their liberties, are not the grand temptation to these wholesale iniractions of law, going-far to." .weaken the Government where it should, of necessity, be powerful. . Bo it from a senseless fear of irritating the affected “ thin-skinnedness” of “anti-coer cion”'polHicians, ignorant of the Teal state of afliurs -r in Kentucky, or the belief that the Louisville merchants, after-having ploased.the Confederates to the . extent of their treasure. Will bo content to. return with their State to the bosom of their forgiving mother, the Union, the Administration have permitted this state of affairs to continue unchecked and un rebuked. ■ , It were folly to believe that ignorance ol theso things causes the apparent indifference with which the commander of our army at the West permits their continuance. An imme diate advance beyond the Ohio river should bo ordered. It is absolutely necessary that the line between East and Middle Tennessee, and between Kentncky and the rebellious por tions of Tennessee, he guarded by .an ,invinci ble military police. , , - . There is no just ground on which Ken-, tnckians can object to the passage of Federal troops through their ’ Slate. If the present distracted condition of Virginia moves them ■to. refose.to allow Kentncky to be made the 1 battle-gVound'of; opposing armies,- let* it be -1 told them that if Virginians had been lor the | Union as Kentuckians profess to. be, things i would have-been otherwise.'

JUetter from Marvey thresh.” iOorrsopood* no. of The Pre«».l ■WashisOioh, July" 30,1861. Ono of tha most senseless arguments that I have seen tor .some time, is that of more S«», of this morning, attempting to prove that the Confederate States are not waging war against the United States, nor at tempting to destroy its Government. If our Constitution meaps anything, and the pa triots of 1787 had any definite object in view, it was to form a "perfect Union”.for them selves and their posterity. An inevitable de duction from their action is, that no portion of - the Union can declare its independence from the other, nor can the natural copartnership bo dissolved, except upon the terms indicated in the constitutional articles of agreement. Two-thirds of the States, as parties .in.inte rest, may lawfully propose an ultimate dissolu tion or changes; but it requires three-fourths of them to confirm all such propositions, and the wishes of any smaller number can have no influence or binding obligation upon - the others. The comparison which,the Saw at tempts to institute between the assertions of, the Declaration of Independence, affirriung the necessity ' 1 for one people to dissolve the poli tical ties which have connected them with another,” thus assuming separate and equal station, and the action of the seceded. States in declaring their independence, is, indeed, the " veriest twattlo.” We are one people, and “the laws of nature .and of nature s God.” and « a decent respect for theopimons of mankind”’ require that onr unity shottld be preserved. The old Roman, when he re cited to the revolted populace the iable of the body and its members, developed the philoso phy and the theory of republican government, and as such it has always been received.. The rebellions South takes an extreme opposite ground, and contends that each limbrof the body politic may dissever itself. If a dis ordered stomach causes the head to ache, the , head may out itself off i : All this is the most; consummate folly, as argued by th° f «n, in the interest of the rebellious States. £0 sophistry can cover, the fact that the pen-, federate -States have initiated the strife, and to say'that they are not “ wagwg.war is simply an absurdity. They commenced the war upon the' United States by the bombard ment of Fort Sumpter, and we might as well say that the footpad who presents his pistol to a traveller’s breast, and rifles bis pockets, is hot committing an assault, if subsequently he should attempt to gag his captive and tie him toatroo. IVilh the attack on .Sumpter wo bad the declaration that the Confederate flag should wave over this capital, and perhaps over the cradle of liberty at Boston. The efforts to carryout these boasts cannot_be characterized as anything else bht " waging war,” and to dignify the treason as a struggle to secure independence is a monstrous per version of terms and facte; ; .. The complications produced by such falße reasoning aB I have noticed, and the attempt to place the United States in an aggressive Attitude, and to impart to the rebellions Con federacy the dignity of an assertion of rights invaded or immunities attacked, must seriously embarrass tho hope ot an amicable settlement oi our difficulties, iAs long as treason is de fiant, and takes the.tone of virtue; as long as traitors are landed as patriots, and the parri cides who would destroy the. Government are depicted as an army of chivalrous men," wao know their rights, and knowing, dare main r tarn/’ every avenue to adjustment must be effectually barred. One of the results of this perverted feeling in favor ottraitors, and the mock sentimentality which colors their treason inthe hue of patriotism, was developed;, yes terday in the refusal to suspend the rules .for the introduction of the resolution proposed by the Hon. Samuel S. Cox, of Ohio. I< the is sues between,the Confederate and the United. States were fairly acknowledged, and it was confessed that the South, acting under ex citement, delusion, or mistaken ideas of duty, was likely to be reclaimed by kind treatment, although - the first proposition tor peace ought to come from those who commenced the war, still , I have no doubt the Houbo would have justice with mercy, and considered the reso lutions looking to the appointment of ,a Peace Commission, composed of distinguished men ftom the loyal States, to meet Commissioners from ? fche Confederate States. But the Con gress of the United States has already -de clared'its determination not to interfere with the institutions of the South, now or hereaf ter, and has solemnly asserted that its object in prosecuting the war is not subjugation, or coercion, or aggression, but simply the deter mination to uphold ihe authority of the Go vernment, protect the Constitution from viola tion, and ihusj lay the foundations of an en during peace. But Congress cannot now, in self-respecfcj propose terms ol' pacification, i when it is denounced as having the desire to. ( establish a military dictatorship, and the Prer i sident is called a usurper and a dospot. Let, then, the responsibility fall where it should rest, upon papers like the Baltimore Sun and the New York Journal of Commerce, which enconrage the treasdn now raging over the South, by investing it With the semblance of patriotism. Harvey BrßOir* [for Th©;Prea> ] Mr. Editor : In your paper of July .18th, an article over the, signature of “.Caution,” respecting the cliaractor and ability of the head of the Wator Department, is so untrue in its promises, and so unjust in its conclusions, that I cannot let it pass without notice. He insinuates that the Chief Engineer has given the contract for pumps to a firm in the State ot Delaware, and that no one of tho several works Undertaken, by him has been finished. He has made no contract with any firm in Delaware, and he has finished two out of three works recommended _by him, and they are now in constant use, viz: tho Broad-street main and the Corinthian-avenue Basin;: and the third and last thiDg recommended by him, the Mill Honse and machinery, will be finished in November. .“In all cases- the . estimates have been exceeded to a fearful extent.’ 3 , This we simply say is untrue, and challenge “ Caution 33 to prove his allegation. No estimate of tho mill-house asat is built was ever made by the Chief Engineer, nor ever I i Was there one made of the Corinthian-.! , avenue basilfi-as it was' built, and the Chief I Engineer had the entire f approbation of the former and the present committee of water Works in lJ&th instances: Tbe only,work done according to tho estimate and plan of .the En gineer, was the Broad-street main, which, cost some $ll,OOO less than the estimate. “ Cau tion ” says such onormous discrepancy really, appears incredible, yet an inspection of tho records of Council for the last three years will show tho fact. I deny this allegation, and challenge the writer to tho proof. The writer then asks, is it safe to entrust parties capable of making such gross errors with the expen diture of the amonnt proposed to be appro priated to the Water Department'? No errors have been made, and the expenditure of all moneys entrusted to tho care of the Chief Engineer has been. made to the entire satis faction of both former, in as resolution to Councils, so expressed them selves. With a single exception, lie lias noiwj the entire approbation of the present com-j nuttee. • ■ •' • „ r , ■ J Wo will merely glance at the Chief Engl user’s administration. In the three years ending in 1860, he has increased the receipts, neariy half a million of dollars. He has di minished the expenses every year since ho ha’s been an incumbent. The cost of pump ing water in 1860 was $7,615 less than 1869, and $32,000 less than in 1858, giving him credit tor the increased amount pumped. He has; reduced tho cost of laying pipe; which was, under the former administration; 61jj oohts per foot to 281 cents per foot, and saved; in . thy last six montns of 1858, $34,878. ; : The Broad-Btreet main pays over twenty per cent, on the cost the past year, and the Corinthian avenue basin and milthouso aud machinery will make even a, larger return, and which wo i can' demonstrate beyond a doubt. All thatwe can learn from New York, is that she keeps her supply above her demand, while our city permits tho demand to bo ahead of her supply, and T regret to add it is herhistory. " Conld any engineer ask a record of higher character-? It proves beyond a donbt his thorough capacity, his unimpeachable integ rity, and proving beyond a question his high qualifications ‘ for the position he occupies, and the entire security the city has in his Bkill and ability lor extending ottr works. His eminent practicability, his untiring industry, and hiß great energy, makes him the man for the duties the city now requires, and his fore going record gives every reason for the most implicit confidence in his future administra tion.
