/ I'he Situation in tufilie.
It is said that Queen VICTORIA has written.
to letter to the King of Prussia earnestly
urging him' to change his policy—to be
guided by common sense—to keep the oath
which he took, before God and the world,
to maintain the Constitution of Prussia—to
be a truthful, honest man, really paternal in
. his rule. Why should she write this to
him? Because, through all her descents
-and alliances=parents, husband, children—
this lady is intensely German; because, of
all the thrones in Europe, her own is the
:purest; because she never dreamed of viola
ting the oath -by which, at her Coronation,
she bound herself to govern by the law ; be
cause she has so governed, and therefore is
authorized to point out to another even.the
worldly ad - Vantage of acting rightly. There
..May.be another reason, more personal, for
-her-interference, and that lies in the fact that
her eldest daughter is wile of the heir to the
Crown of Prussia, and that she may have a
Mother's as well as a monarch's. dread that
a persistence in misrule may throw Prussia
into revolt and depose not only the foolish
king, but even expel the House of Brandon
berg, even as the French successively de
posed and expelled the House of Bourbon
and thelamily of Orleans.
.Nobody, even among his most sanguine
- - friendi. _has the. slightest.hopethat w
_ t.tr.rAm
c4--Prugaia will take good advice from Queen
VICTORIA, or from any one else. He is as
obstinate; but . with greater energy, as ever
was, Granules the Tenth of France, and
has-a match for Prince POLIONAC in his fa
vorite Minister, M. DE B[WARK. Master
and man will persist, no doubt, to the ut
most—and the more so, because they have
the support, such as it is, of the Prussian
aristocracy. But they have never learned,
or else have forgotten, the lesSon taught on
the historic page, that when there comes a
tussle between the nobility and the, people,'
the latter always have the hest of it.
In his remarkable stuptlity, WILLIAM of
Prussia declined attending. the German Con
ference, though specially invited thereto by
the German rulers assembled at. Frankfort,
at the - request of the Emperor of Austria,
and though the King of Saxony was him
self the bearer of that invitation. The superb
reason that he gave for remsiug to go to the
meeting of Sovereigiw, pt Frankfort was,
that he thought the affair should have been
:rehearsed, by a few of the leading princes
before it was brought before the public. In
'1.849 the advanced Germans offered to ;the"
King of Prussia the imperial crown of Ger
many. In 1803, thanks to, the present King,
Prussia will be found playieg a third-rate
part in Germany, having lost her prestige,
through her monarch's folly.
• According as Prussia has left the broad
road of constitutional freedom, Austria has
got into it. The Emperor of Austria, strange
as such words would have sounded five years
ago, is a man of progress. He wants an
united German Confederation, himself at its
head, to keep Germany an unit in Europe,
and if his design was to separate Prussia
from the rest of Germany, the means have
been supplied by M. Du BISIVIA.IIK and the
obstinate king, his master. The German
States will unite and act without the co-ope
ration of Prussia, simply leaving it a chance
of 'coming in. They have adopted the Aus- -
Ulan-scheme for a Directory, to be composed
; of six members, Austria, Prussia, Bavaria,
with one vote each—Saxony, Hanover, Wur-
ternburg, one vote in turn ; Electoral Hesse
and the seven Grand "Duchies to nominate
the fifth member; and all •the remaining
German States the sixth. This leaves open,
the question'of the Presidency of the Direc
tory, which it is said that Austria claims,
and if her claim is conceded, Prussia sinks
into the same position of influence as Bava:
ria, or in their turn Saxony, Hanover, or
Wuitemburg.
Public opinion has it that this confedera-
tion is meant to build up resistance, if.nced
ed, to the Emperor Neponzori. .441(4 .
the - moment when ITaronv.ori offersia Im—
perial Crown to an Austrian Archduke, we
have the Emperor of Austria raising a bar—
rier 'against NAPOLEON'S possible advance
into Germany. Wiil Iffaxintrit.&w accept
that proffered throne ? If he does not, then
Austria will keep France at arm's length;
if he does, what next may ensue ? Suppose,.
'as•hae, been suggested, that Austria, which
may become as ambitious as she is powerful,
should join with France to replace Poland ,
-on the map of Europe—that her bribe from
NAPOLEON, for doing this should be the
crown of Poland forthe Ardhdulte CHARLES,
(next brother to MAxkiiiniAw)that Aus
tria should surrender her own Polish pos
sessions and deprive Prussia of her still
larger share in the Partitions of 1772,
1793, and 1795 should take back to
herself Silesia,' formerly Austrian—should
permit France to regain the /Rhenish
provinces, thereby reducing Prussia to
_ the "mere-- Duchy. of Brandenburg that it
was at the beginning of the eighteenth cen
tury. What changes this would make I
Yet all this is on the cards. NAPOLEON,
now in his fifty-sixth year, cannot live much
longer, but FRANCIS aoSEPH, of Austria,
who has latterly shown marked ability, as
. well as much common sense, was only thirty
years old on the 18th of August, and with
his expectation of lite (over thirty years
more, at the lowest insurance estimate),
may witness; if not effect, more important
changes, than these.
From England we have two items of im
portant news. The London Times, seeing
that the South is being everywhere defeated,
and with its, money-market writer terribly
bit by the fall in Confederate - stock, has se
riously turned round, forgotten all its former
defence of the breach of neutrality by LAIRD
and LINDSAY, and says: "We hold and ac
knowledge it unlawful to equip vessels of war
for the use of a belligerent, we being neu
trals, and yet every cruiser in the service of
the Southern States has been, as a matter of
fact, sent to sea from the ports of this coun
try. It is not the fault of the Government,
as the case of the Alexandra sufficiently
proved ; but there must clearly be a fault
somewhere, when we see the spirit' of the
law evaded, and things done which we
would rather see left undone, and which our
own national interests call upon us to
stop." The other point is merely
this, that out of six war-rams built
at Liverpool for the rebels, and to which
lord RUSSELL'S attentidn has repeatedly
been drawn; one contrived to cut her cable
and steam out
.to sea, the British Govern
_
a§,b3....thP—Ras...ina -, t - - --- eute - and run,"
that her exit should be stopped. It remains
to be seen whether the other five war-rams,
or any of them, will be allowed to depart.
The fact shows with what exquisite fidelity
Lord RUSSELL enforces the Royal proclama
tion of neutrality. We wonder' whether
his Lordship had any Confederate bonds at
his stock-broker's, in Copthall Court, City
Perhaps his losses on them are as much as
were his gains, in December, 1861, on the
suppression of the intelligence from Mr.
all - WARD that AlAsox and SLIDELL were not
considered worth squabbling about.
Froin - Atigralia there comes an intima-
lion that its citizens want a new geographi

-some other, in order to sever the recollec

connection with this subject a desire is ex-,,
pressed to preserve in the colony the Ea

Judge Wood Ward on Foreigners.
Judge WOODWARD was a member of -the
"Convention to propose amendments to
the Constitution" of Pennsylvania, which
was held in the year
. 1837. On the 17th
November (see Debates Of the Convention,
vol. 5, p. 443-8) Mr. MAGER, of Perry coun
ty, moved , " the second reading and consi
deration of resolution -No. 48, in the words
following viz
"Resolved;- That a committee be appointed to inquire
into the eapedlency of so' amending the Constitution of
Pennsylvania, as to prohibit !lie future emigration info
the State of free persons of color and fugitive slaves,
froin other States or Territories.
TrromAs, of Chester county, mov
ed to amend the same, by inserting between
the words, "of" and "free," in the third
line, the word "foreigners." Mr. MARTIN,
of• Philadelphia county, among other things
urged in objection to the amendment of Mr.
Tnomns, which, adopted, would have
excluded foreigners from a residence is the
State, that "the Constitution of the. United
States provides for the emigration of foreign: .
ers into these States',; and yetive
. have here
a proposition for the appointment of a com
mittee to inquire into the expediency of pro
hibiting them from coming. Where do we
hod our authority for this proceeding ?"
Judge WOODWARD, whateVer he may
have thought bf classing foreigners with
free persons of color and fugitive slaves, was.
lawyer enough to hnow that any provisions
of the State Constitution prohibiting their
emigration into, and residence within, its
borders, would-be null and void under% the
supreme law of the nation, proposed to
amend the nugatoty amendment of Mr:
TndmAs_by an amendment of his own,
against which no such impossibility was
opposed. He proposed a provision, which,
'if adopted, would have been legal, valid,
and effective. Here it is, verbatim:
"Mr. Woodward moved to amend the airmndment
by adding thereto the words and that the said corn
mittee be also instructed to inquire into the propriety of
so amending the Constitution as to prevent any foreigner
who may arrive in this State after the 4th day of July,
- Ail, from acquiring _ the right to vote, or to hold office
this Commonwealth.' "
The Chair decided that Mr. WOODWARD'S
amendment could only be introduced by
moving.to strike out,the amendment of Mr.
THOMAS and adding his proposition to the
original resolution.
“Mr. Woodward said that "he did not wish his
amendment to interfere in any way with the resolution
of the gentleman from Perry county. He. (Mr. W.)
was in favor of the object of the resolution, and
Was under the impression that he could substitute
his own proposition as an amendment to the amend
ment. But as he could not do so, he would with=
draw it for the present.”
Whereupon MT, THTIAS withdrew llis
Ahl6ildraDt, and Mr. WOODWARD'S was
thus brought before the Convention for im
mediate consideration. Mr. Cox, of Somer
set county, opposed it,'and Mr. WOODWARD
replied. We give his speech in full beloW ;
but we must first give the after history of
this proposition and speech, which we take
from Judge WoonwAnD himself.
In the year 1852 he was a Candidate for a
seat on -the Supreme Bench, and it became
necessary for him' either to confess and,
defend, or confess and avoid or deny, or ex
plain with the effect of a denial, the amend
ment and speech, which until then had
stood unimpeached and unexplained- upon
the record. In a lettei of his, dated Pitts
burg, September 14th, 1852, (republished
in The Age of the 10th inst.,) he meets his
troubles in this way
"That (amendment) was simply a limitation of a
motion made by Mr. Thomas, a Whig member from
Chester county, and was calculated to compel hiti
party (who were a majority in the Convention) to
come up to the mark, or back out. They chose the
latter branch of the alternative, and my motion,
having answered its purpose, was withdrawn."
Now, look at the last paragraph of his
speech in support of his amendment, for the
reason for the withdrawal. He there says, -
explicitly, that his reason for the with- .
drawal was the unanimous, opinion of
own friends ; and adds : "I therefore yield
any own judgment to theirs, I and, having En-
PLATIcED MY VIEWS, withdraw the amend
ment.
What were those views ? Were they such
as were calculated to, bring the Whigs up to
the mark, or to induce them to back out?
Judge WOODWARD said : " They had been
on his mind for a long time past, and had
claimed his,serious consideration." It is
my honest impression that we do but squan
der those Privileges (the right of, suffrage
and of ;.holding olice) in conferring them
upon every individual who chooses to come
and claim them." Then'folloWs an argu
ment, very earnestly put and very compre
hensive of the reasons, for excluding foreign
ers, arriving after 1841 th - fourth of July,
1841—from all political privileges in the -
State. Read the argument carefully, and
answer the Judge whethei'you think the
motion and speech were but a ruse to bring
the Whigs up to the mark, in'the sense in
tended in the letter of 1852, or whether it
was not calculated to bring them up to the
mark of supporting the amendment, and in
corpoiating it in the Constitution.
Mr. TnorAs was, doubtless, very willing
to accept Mr. WOODWARD'S anienclment,
which would have peen a valid one, instead
of his own, whiCh he discovered could
neither be adopted nor have any force if it
had been ; but Judge Woonwhatn prevented
him and his friends from coming "up to the
mark" bycwithdrawing it, against his own
judgnient, in deference to that of his friends
in the . Convention. -
Judge WOODWARD, when .he wrote his
letter, in 1852, knew and felt that the record
Was dead in the teeth of this explanation.
.and attempted avoidance of his action fifteen
years before, and feeling this, he chose to
treat the amendment as a parliamentary trick,
and defended himself against - the reported
speed, by charging it with inaccuracy. In
what respects inaccurate he does not venture
to say, but - contents himself with saying that
this one unlucky speech was the only one
which the,reporter had not submitted to him
for revision. The Judge, in thi latter re
ferred to, charges the reporter with misre
presentation, and the party opposed to his
election in 1852 with "allowing their politi
cal passions to get the better of their vera
city." We answer, that if he will assume
that the " gentlemen of honor "—as the
phrase is—of one party, will lie for party.
'purposes, it is allowable to assume, also; that
a "gentleman of honor and high social
standing," caught in j a tight place by the
history of an honest indiscretion in speak
ing his "honest impressions" on "a subject
which had been on his mind a long tithe
past," may, just, when there is no other
possible escape, " allow his political am
bition to get the better of his veracity."
The unlikelihood of Judge WOODWARD'S
explanation is still further stiengthened by
what followed the withdrawal of his amend-
ment. Mr. CIIMMIN, of juulath,r,3potp—
corlY.PAilledliehrtg fL proposition, supporting
it "by a strong argument against all foreign
ers, and then withdrawing it, and thus cut
off all opportunity .of reply to his elaborate
address."
Mr. WOODWARD renewed hiS amendment
to afford Mr. LIN' the opportunity he
asked. Mr: uN made his reply, con
cluding with these words : " I hope, there
fore, that he (ar.. W.) will withdraw his
amendment, and that he will make an apo
logy for what I regard as a gross insult upon
the Irish and the other foreign population of
this State."
"Mr. WoonwAnn answer9d : "That he
had not risen for the purpose of making the
apology called for by the gentleman from
Juniata county (Mr. C.), for he (Mr. W.)
knew well that, to ,an America,n assembly,
no apology could be necessary. He had
risen merely to withdraw his amendment.
Queen : What does the word "Ameri
can " mean here? We think that justice
to the orator's sentiments requires the word
to be ,put into italics—a liberty which we
have taken with such other quotations from
the Judge as seem to demand such em
phasis.
Moreover, it must not be overloOked: that
the purport and purpose of the amendment
is clearly shown by the speech of Mr: Cox
upon it, to be under Stood and received to
be proscriptive to the fullest extent of th.e
terms employed. The Judge's speech fol
lowed Mr. Cox's, but it contains no dis
avowal of- Mr. Cox's construction. Mr.
Cl3' 3131M1N throughout his whole speech
addresses his reply• to the very, argument
and'` to scope of the 'reported
speech, which the Judge now repudiates,
but did not then disavow. ;;,The repudiation
came too late ; it came under compulsion,
and for reasons that might tempt the Judge
to make it for the occasion.
We now give the speech just as it stands
in the printed debates of the Convention,
leaving the question of veracity which the
Judge has raised with the "reporter and
his political opponents" of 1852 to the
judgment of the general reader; and his
refusal to apologize to " the Irish. arid the
other foreign populatitm of the State" to
the parties, more particularly concerned :
.IVI r. Woodward said that he had not anticipated,
this morning, that an opporhunity would be present
ed to him to introduce this subject to the notice of
the Convention ; he was not, therefore, prepared at
this time' tO say more than a very few words; al
thoughit .was a subject which had been on his mind
for a long time past, and had claimed his serious at
tention, . ; •
I have long felt "a desire, said that some
thing should be done in relation to it—that the Meta
should be investigated, and that some proper and
eflicient measures should be adopted, if, upon that
investigation, it should turn out that measures of
any kind were requisite.
Sir, I appreciate as much as any man living, the
many political rights and privileges which Lin com
mon with the people of the United . States, am now
enjoying-; and it is my honest impression that wet)
but squander those privileges in conferring them
upon every individual who chooses to come and
claim them. tie knew that a great portion cif „those
who came among us front foreign countries consist,
frequently, of the worst part Of the population of
those countries, that they, are unacquainted with the
value rof these privileges, and that, therefore, they
do not know how to value them, I think that in
thus conferring indiscriminately upon, all we are
doing injury to our liberties and our institutions
and 1 believe that, if the time has not yet. come, it
will speedily come, when it will be. indispensably
necessary; either for this body or some other body of
this State, or of the United States, to inquire whe
ther it Is not right to put some plan into execution
by which foreigners should be prevented from con
trolling our elections and browbeating our. American
citizens at the polls.
At the time the Constitution of the United States
was formed it was necessary to promote emigration.
The population of our country was wanted by a
long war, and it was necessary to. hold out induce
ments to foreigners to come here. But times have
greatly changed within the last few years, The rea
son and the necessity for' extending this indulgence
to emigrants have ceased. Besides this, it is to be_
considered that there are' other inducements, in the
climate, and in- the natural advantage& of the court%
try, to prevail upon them to come here, without add
ing to them the incentive of office. In expressing
these sentiments, Mr. Chairman, I wish it to be un.
derstood that I cherish no prejudice against foreign
ere, I entertain no feeling of unkindness towards
them, trom whatever part of the world they may
come, nor would I do anything which should have a
tendency to proscribe them from coming. We have
many, very estimable men among them, and I do not
propose, in my amendment, to take anything away
from them. I merely wish that a committee should
inquire whether it is competent for us to introduce
. a provision into the Constitution of the kind I have
mentioned, to take effect after a certain - date, so
long distant that all future emigrants may know
what their privileges are to be before they leave
their own country. My proposition is not intended,
nor will'it operate, retrospectively ; it affects no one
now here, and no one who may be on hie way here.
It looks exclusively to the future. What valid ob.
jection can there he to the inquiry? Why should
we throw open these great political privileges to
every species of character that may light oa our
shores? Are these privileges of Ruch little value
that we do not deem them worth protection or de
fence Have they no-claim upon out feelings—no
claim upon our atteotions 1 Have they not been won
in many a wellfought tieidt Are, all the treasure
and the blood which have been pOured forth for the
attainment of these privileges to be regarded as no
thing I ',Nave they hot been bequeathed to us by
those Wird itiallfeto all they had on earth to secure
them? Are they not truly and eniphatically our
moat precious legacy? And what claim have fo•
reignets from any country—aye, sir, from airy coun
try, which is strong enough to justify us in prosti
tuting our political privileges by conferring them
carelessly and indiscriminately on any individual
who may reside here two or three years, become a
naturalized citizen, and then command our offices?
There'are very many of these emigrants who know
nothing of political privileges in their own country
before they emigrate to this. The word is unknown
to them, or, if they hear of it at all, they hear of it
as eomething in which they have no participation.
Is not this the fact? Sir,
we all know that itis ; we
know that very many of these emigrants never en
joyed any political privileges themselves—that they
'bare no knowledge of them—and, least of all, have
the'y any knowledge of our people, our Government,
or our institutions. The acquirement of this know
ledge is not the work of a day.. They have no gym.
pithy in common with us; they.have no qualifica
tions to render them fit recipients of these high poll-.
tical privileges. If any of us choose to pass over to
England, Ireland, or Prance, and to settle ourselves
there, what do we gain bythe change—l mean in a
political point of view? Nothing; we lose all. We
are not suffered to acquire any political privileges
such as we bestow upon them. There is no recipro
city; the advantage is all on one side, and what
ever we may give to theiti, we ourselves can acquire
nothing of the kind. Wby should this be so?- Or,
if the adoption of such a system was necessary at
one time, why should it still be adhered to, when
everything in the form of necessity has long since
peePed awayl I can discover neither wisdom nor
policy in so doing.
The idea, Mr. President, is simply this : I would
afford to all foreignera who shall come to this coun
try after the date of my amendment, protection in
their nelson, their property, and all the natural
rights which they could enjoy under -any civilized
or well. ordered Government. I would permit them
to acquire, wealth ; to pursue objects of their- own.,
ambition ;'I would, in short, allow them to become
in till respects equal citizens with us, except only in
this one matter of political privileges. All their na,-_
tura] and all their civil rights should be amply gua
rantied and, protected, and they should become citi
zens in common with us in - relation to all objects,.
except voting and holding office. And do we not
hold nut sufficient inducements for foreigners to
make this country their home, even if we take from
them these political privileges? Surely, sir, we do
—such, indeed, as no other nation upon earth can
i. proffer. -
But, Mr. President, it is not my design to enter
IWO the _discussion of this matter at the present
time, and 'I owe an apology to the Convention for
having said so much in regardto it. I have a strong
feeling on the subject, though I confess that I enter
twin doubts whether this Convention has the power
to act. lAM well aware of the nature of the pro
vision in the Constitution of the United States,
and which his been referred to bp the -gentleman
from the county of Philadelphia [Mr. Martin.] I
would do notbing in contravention of that provision;
I merely wish that the question should be referred
to a committee, that they may inquire whether this
Convention has the power to aot at all in the pre
mises, and if it has the power, whether it would be
expedient to act. I am, however, surrounded by
many valued friends, whose opinions and judgment
I appreciate ; and it appears that they are unani
mous in thinking that I should withdraw it. I
therefore yield my own judgment to theirs, and,
having explained my views, I withdraw the amend
ment.
The Campaign. in P - ennsyivania.
The campaign in Pennsylvania has fairly
opened. From this day to that of election
the speakers on each side will make a busy
and active canvass. Mr. McVFActri an
nounces that General BEN,IAAIIN F. BUTLER,
of Massachusetts, will be here, and make
several speeches to our friends throughout
the State. Other distinguished men are ex
pected, and the great questions before the
people will be abundantly and thoroughly-,
discussed. His Excellency the Governor
has commenced his tour to the different
parts of the State. From the report of his
reception at Kittarting, it will be seen that
in county our friends are laboring
with enthusiasm in the good cause, and we
predict for him, wherever he goes, those
manifestatibns of esteem and good will
that the people
_always bestow
- upon a
faithful servant. From every part of the
State we receive encouraging advices. Our
friends are alive to the importance of , this
campaign. They see that it must be won,
or that all we have gained in the past will
be swept away in the triumph of disloyalty.
The rebels in Richmond can afford to wait,
LEE may nestle in quietness on the banks of
the Rapidan, BEATIREGARD may write pro
clamations, and BiIAGG keep up his retreat
ing march until he reaches the Gulf, and the
cause they serve will not be served half so
well as it would be by a victory of the Cop
perheads in Pennsylvania. Let our friends
keep this in mind, remembering that above
any personal like or dislike there is a great
principle involved—the principle of freedom
and self-government. Let our friends also re
member that the enemies of free government
are sparing nothing to accomplish our defeat.
At their head they have Mr. Justice WOOO
- a jurist oi experience and a man of
intellect and shrewdness. He is a fanatic,
however, on . certain questions, and his in
tellect is so dwarfed and clouded by his
fanaticism that we do not think it possible
`for him to take a liberal view of_an'
OUT Golidrn
_"%fa.ltia" the glory of our State. We say
I this frankly, and not to serve any party
purpose. The enthusiasm of Mr. Justice
Woonwinn in favor of slavery is as great
as that of Mr. WM. LLOYD GARRISON
against slavery. : He ,believes in it as a
Divine institution. It is a sacrament as
holy as the ordinance of marriage. And
being Divine, it is the duty of all lawgivers
to strengthen it, and of all holders of slaves
to defend them against any legislative in
terference. Thinking thus sincerely, he is,
by the force of strong and honest convic
tions, an enemy of the present Government.
While we do not blame Mr. Justice Woon
-wAnn, or any other citizen of Pennsylvania,
for holding what opinions he may please on
the subject of slavery, We still cannot refrain
from urging upon our friends the necessity
of keeping such a man out of the 'Guberna
torial chair. He is welcome to his opinions
—to nurse, and cherish, and publish them—
to preach them from the hustingsand bench,
and we would pay no more regard to them
than we would to the unfortunate inmate of
Bloelley insane asylum who lives happy in
the belief that he is the Emperor of China,
or the seventh son of the seventh son, who
reads the stars, and foretells all-coming
events. When, however, he asks to be
the Governor of Pennsylvania, we have a
right to interfere. His opinions then become
common property, and the people, in the
management of this campaign, must ask them
sepres with earnestness and,solicitude what
will be the_ fate of the State with such
opinions the recognized thought of its
Governor. What will become ofthe Union

State. Let our friends remember that

Mr. Crum,Es Sur mit's. address is very
long, but not too long for the importance of
the subject' and the ability with which it is
considered. Two years of war, resulting in
decisive victory, have proved the power

in the interference of foreign nations. Un

must yield to the might of-our, armies. Mr.
SUMNER shows that all Wars have a ten
dency to extend: and enlarge, and, if they
are protracted, tempt intervention from
Powers that were not originally impli
cated. And fax more than wars gene
rally, let it be remembered; is this war a
temptatien ; for it offers to • monarchies
opportunity of crippling a colossal Republic,
and, to their ambition, suggests the possi
bility of gaining, permanent influence over a
continent upon which their dominion is now
little more than nominal. But the danger is
not made evident by argument alone, but
by those actions of England and. France,
which the world knows, and which Mr.
thpIITER Skilfully, rehearses and thoroughly
explains.
In the division of his subject, Mr. SUM
NER has shown that mastery of its meaning
which entitles him to speak positively of the
historical precedents which apply to it, of
the laws of nations which underlie it, and
to define the rights and wrongs it involves.
. The statement is exact and exhaustive ;
the argument without a flaw. Mr. SUMNER
has added to his reputation as a scholar end
a thinker by this address, which must re
main an authority upon the important sub
.ject it treats, and find lasting influence in
this country and in Europe. It contains
much suggestive thought, to which hereafter
we shall refer; at present, we simply ex
press the desire that it will speedily be
published in a permanent form, and com
mend it to the attention of those who appre
ciate the growing importance of our foreign
relations and desire fully to understand their
nature.
The performances to-night at the Acade
my of Music, for the benefit of the United
States Sanitary Commission, will undoubtL
edly attract an audience of no ordinary in
telligence, for they are extraordinary them
selves. Mr. Boont's merits we know, and
no one can fail to appieciat(tlie high pur
pose for which "Macbeth" will be played
with such an unusual cast. The Sanitary
Commission fully deserves all the aid and
encouragement the public may choose to
bestow.' The added lustre of Miss Cusrt
iimi's genius, the fact that this will be her
olitary appearance in Philadelphia this
winter, and probably
.„ her last, give to the
occasion rare interest and value. Mr.
CLARKE'S management, and the services of
other excellent artists who have volunta
iffy given their services, should make the
performance generally satisfactory, as it is
sure to be specially illustrious. Pew dra
matic entertainments promise so much
Pleasure—none deserve more success.

Any divinity student who is desirous of ascertain

agitated by men with agrave appreciation of their
own debility. Nobody will horsewhipnnybody ; no,
one will murder or steal ;-no helices will run away
with pa's coachman, and Horatio Seymour won't
get up any new riots ; in fact, there are no sensa
tions to be found, no thrills to experience, no novel
ties to "do." Such is the reaction from the fever
under which the city has labored for the past month.
The money market, the stock quotations, and things,
are all barren of excitement, and even the theatres
are flat, stale, and unprofitable.
Public feeling id calm and serene. The - news from

NEGRO SOLDIERS. •
For the first time a detachment of colored troops
has been encamped within the city limits. They
. are, or were, a fine-looking body of men, noticeable
for their neatness and, quiet demeanor. Many of
them were nearly white, looking more like Asiatics
than mulattoes. Here, .then, an experiment has
been tried, and, notwithstanding the howling Jere
miads of the Copperheads, who-have all along de
clared that the presence of armed blacks in our midst
would so far excite the sensitive feelings of the
ouvriers that a Collision would of necessity eosue;
no breach of the, peace took place, whatever may
have been the feelings' which the Copperheads expo.
rienced. The fact is, these courageous beings have
no preference between bayonets in the hands of
whites or blacks, and probably entertain scruples
against submitting to premature puncture. To this
appreciation of the depressing influence of cold steel
upon the stomach between meals, we may possibly
owe our deliverance from a brief return of mob law.

The theatres are well patronized, though nothing
strange or striking holds' any one of the raetrepoll

Forrest is drawing crowded houses, and Kir. Bend

Barnum has a Ghost 'at his Museum. Nixon's

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 11, 1863.
To the Editor of The Press:
Sin : The foregoing 'slip from a newspaper, pur
porting to be an extract from the Cincinnati En.
quirer, has been sent me. It states that a citizen
juet returned from Philadelphia saw a number of
white conscripts marched through . the streets of this
city " chained together by twos.i , The citizen who
made, this statement may have been mistaken; the
statement is false. Conscripts have not been
marched through the streets chained at any time
since the opening of this rendezvous. A set of
eharpers who are defrauding the Government by
furnishing as substitutes men who Intend to desert
have made it necessary to guard the whole as they
pass . through the streets. The drafted men,-and most
of the substitutes, g0..t0 their regiments cheerfully,
. and I do not doubt, prove good soldiers.
The object of the paper that has published the
statement of . " a 'citizen ' ? is to create opposition to
the draft. Ido not, therefore, expect any retraction
of its false statement, but request that this may be
copied by Ve loYal papers of Cincinnati.

Employment of Negroes In the Rebel Army.
[From the Savannah (Ga.) News, Sept. 2
A joint committee of the Alabama Legislature,
just adjourned, reported a resolution in favor of the
proposition to employ slaves in the military service of the
confederate' States, which proposition, we perceive, is
favored, by many of the presses of Mississippi and Ala
bama. After discussion in the Alabama House, the
resolution was adopted by a vote of sixtpeight yeas
to twelve nays, after striking out the words " mili
tary ''' before service, and " soldiers," at the end of
the resolution. The resolution was amended, and
reads as follows :
That it is the duty of Congress to provide by law,
for the employmeht in the service of the Confederate
States of America, in such situations and ia such
numbers as may be found absolutely necessary,
the able-bodied slaves of the country, whether as
pioneers, sappers and miners, cooks, nurses, and
teamsters.
In this farm we can see no objection to the rem
ution.
The Peace Party hiliorth Carolina.
A great deal of exaggeration has characterized
he reports from Newbern relative to the peace
party in North Carolina, and its objects. There is
no doubt a large party who are the bitter opponents
of Jeff Davis and the usurpations which he has es
tablished; but taking the language of the Raleigh
Standard, the acknowledged exponent of the - peace
party, its object is nat a reconstruction of the Union,
but a peaceable separation which it is argued can
best be, - obtained by the independent action of the
diffetent States, rather than by the Jeff Davis Go
vernment, because President Lincoln could not ne
gotiate with that without acknowledging the South
ern Confederacy. In the Standard of August 25, a
copy of which is now before us, is a long editorial in
reply to strictures by the Fayetteville Observer, and
the editor thus lays down his platform:
"The Observer does us the justice to say that we
are opposed to reconstructing the o)d Government.
We are opposed to it, and have been from the first,
whatever some of our correspondents may have been
permitted to say to the contrary ; but, having put the
whole matter on the isaue of the sword ; having dis
carded reason under the preassure of circumstances
we could not avoid, and appealed to physical force,
we do not hesitate to say that, before we would see
our State permanently subjugated and trodden down,
Blissinippi is, we would consent to a restoration
of the old Government, or the establishment of .a
new common Government, with all our rights guaran
tied, as the lesser evil. But we would avoid this by all
the means in our power, as a great political and sectional
humiliation; and hence we are for fighting, and talking
at the same time for some settlement which will leave at
least a portion of the slaveholding States under a sepa
rate common Government. If forced to choose between
the two evils, we would rather live with than under
the Northern people. Our resentments are as strong
as they can be against those who' have carried fire
and sword through our country, and many of whose
soldiers have committed wanton and cruel outrages
on our people ;-but we could not as a rational being,
sacrifice the happiness and the lives of both races in
the South merely to gratify hatred and revenge."
Reconstruction is not desired; it is regarded as an
"evil:" But if separation cannot be obtained, then
a compromise, if slavery can be preserved. If no
pro-alavery compromise is possible, then fight to the
bitter end. Not love for the Union, but love for the
negro, animates the peace party of. North Carolina.
This is evident from another passage in the same
article, viz :
" Slavery has suffered more injury during the last
two years than would probably hays befallen it in
the long sweep of fifty years under the Arid Govern
ment. The peculiar champions of the institution
have placed it, we fear, on the high road to extinc
tion. And just here, we beg leave to say to the Ob
server, lathe source of one of the most serious ap
prehensions of our people. The sudden emancipa
tion of our slaves in our midst would be the greatest
blow which could be inflicted on Southern society.-
It would - ruin this generation beyond redemption,
and its of ect-Ivould be felt for ages to come.
" Nor would this ruin be partial. It would include
the non-slaveholder as well ae the elaveholder, and
finally the slave himself. Subjugation, if it should
be in reserve for us, would be emancipation. Hence
our, people. while they are for continuing the strug
gle. and while they are still anxious if possible-to
wake good their final' separation, are nevertheless
disposed to pry into the future, to see if, in the hist
resort, something better than subjugation cannot be
obtained. If the worst should stare them in the
face, as it does not now, but as it may, they would
have peace under certain circumstances ; yet if the
worst should come, and they could see no honorable
mode of escaping it, they would alt die together with
their slaves and their little ones, fighting with a despera
tion which the world has never witnessed."
1001.0EIED SEAICEN IN THE NAVr.—An unofficial
estimate of the number of colored seamen in the

branch of the public service. They were originally
introduced as cooks and stewards, and for years were
not seen on deck. Long before the war, however,
they were allowed in the after guard,'"' and got
along so well with the, sailors and marines that the
propriety of puttifie khem in " the top soon be
came apparent. At present they are seamen, ordi
nary seamen, landsmen, and boys—the marine corps
and theWard•room being the only portions of a man

SPIRITED MEETING IN THE TENTH
WARD.—Last evening, the elegant room of the
Union' League of the Tenth ward, corner Broad
and Race streets, was filled to repletion with an
intelligent audience, who were, according to pre
vious announcement; addressed •by distinguished
gentlemen with patriotic and fervid spirit. A fine
band of music discoursed the national airs, and the
speeches were no less entertaining.
Mr. Harry Howell, president of the League, after
brief remarks, introduced Mr. Charlea Gilpin; who
was warmly received.
Mr. Gilpin, after the applause had subsided, said
that he had spoken often in public meetings, but
though that was the fact, he was more deeply irn;
pressed tonight than ever upon the importance of
the topics he had to handle. It was gratifying to
him to know that this meeting was particularly
characterized as one undistinguished by party.
Party issues are lost sight of to•day by the men - who
are heartily engaged in the National Union came.
Therefore, when speaking to such men, he would
be free and candid in what- he had to say. It
is no party measure we are engaged in. to are for
our country. We deny the right of any set of men
to separate it or destroy, it. [Applause.], Thb man
who acts and votes against us upon this question
of sustaining the country, does not belong to us. He
is no more one of us than he who lives in foreign
lands. We are agitated by no ordinary question.
It is whether the right shall triumph or the
wrong. The question we have to determine
is = whether this ' , Union shall or - shall- not
be preserved. What' have we to contend with in
the contest before us? We have a hydra headed
rebellion; desolating the land and the institutions of
this country. That rebellion, great as it is, is not
our only enemy. We have its agents to contend
with nearer home. If the rebels were all we had
to contend with an early return of peace might be
hoped for. The day of peace is postponed through
more potent agencies, for there are other battles to
be fought. They must; be' fought north of Mason
and Dixon's line. A great battle is .to be fought at
the ballot box, and every soldier on the field looks
anxiously to you - that you Will assist them in con
queringg the enemies of the country. Suppose wo

-inoughtfierl think is not probable, will it not be a
defeat to the Union cense? The soldiers so look at
it, and every patriot so looks, at it
Thiri lime does not turn,upon men. Gov. Curtin
is - a' great and excellent man. ['Applause.] But .
what is Gov. Curtin in this issue compared with the
greet national issue that, in his defeat, would be
prostrated! I do not look for a defeat. But our
enemies are aotive, and we must Meet them. in the
same spirit. I will not charge the Democratic party
with being disloyal. I will say nothing worse thou
that, while all Democrats at the North are not dis
loyal, it'is true that all the disloyal are Democrats.
The leaders of that party are not to be mistaken:
Their aims and objects can be seen. What has the
opponent of Gov. Curtin to recommend him to popu•
lar favor 7 lie who says that the war has not been
managed as it should be, and votes for such a man,
deserves not the privileges of an American. He is I
false to his obligations as a citizen.
I do not think that Pennsylvania will be lost to us
in October. But, should we be successful, we will sea
that our triumph is the final blow to the rebellion.
The speaker did not intend to discuss the merits
of local polities. But he would say that the ticket
of the National Union party is perhaps abetter.one
than the citizens of Philadelphia were ever called
upon to vote for. Buteven were it not so good, 'we
should overlook it. Let us support Governor Cur
tin and President Lincoln. Some do not admire our
glorious President. They find fault because he is too
familiar; that be is not accessible enough, some say,
and that he is too accessible, others say; but, with
whatever faults he may have, he Is every inch a
man, [applause,] and worthy ate love and support
of every friend of his country. =He should support
Mr. Lincoln and Governor Curtin, because they are
both the friends of their country: Both are pledged.
to use every effort for the suppression of the rebel
lion and this at least should entitle them to our
gratitude. They demand the support of all. good ,
men, and we should not fail to extend it upon every
fitting occasion. In October such an. opportunity
will occur." - .The brave soldiers of our' army are
looking to us, and let us not, even. if, it is only for
their sake, desert our common country.
Mr. Gilpin then read a letter from a friend in,the
army, which was received with considerable setts,
faction. He would read , it, because it would, show
the spirit of the army on devotion to country. With
inch evidences of devotion, why should we desert
the cause? Mr. Gilpin said that the' letter was in
answer to a request of a friend that the soldier
might resign and return to his family. This was
therepfy: -
"I should feel it my duty to accept the kind and
generous offer, undel other''circumstances, but as I
have voluntarily sworn •to serve the 'United States
well and truly for three years, I do not feel at,
liberty to tender my resignation. I think that the.
officers areas much bound by their oaths as the en;'
listed men, particularly as many of the latter have
enlisted through the example of those higher in po
sition.' • Officers who resign now are not much
thought of by those who remain in service. The re
maining period of my service 'of three years will
soon slip round, antrthen, should I be spared, I hope
to be with you again." [Applause.]
In the name of this, and every soldier,4. Clllpin.
' urged all to rally round the loyal atanthati, and a
great and glorious victory will be ours , With the
prospect of long prosperity in the land.: .">_
At the conclusion of Ur. ailpin'e speech lion.
.Alexander K. McClure was introduced, and was
received with muoh enthusiasm.
Mr. McClure commenced by remarking noon the Im
portance of the approaching election. These were times.
he said, for earnest men and honest action. Bat for the

I It is not tabs disguised that those who lead the so

faithless to their country. Se would be plain with
them. He who' treacherously retards his Government

Mr. McClure knew something of the Democratic party.
He knew that the draft last year mald-amt be made is

men RP Hughes a part of Pennsylvania has not yet dons
its whole duty - to the Government. The first word

to implore their party to abide by the laws of the coati
try. Last yegr. a Democrat nailed upon Mr. McClure
and said that the draft could not be exe:uted in certain
portions of the State, and it was not executed. The laws
cannot be executed with such a man as Woodward for
Governor. It is not the ignorant people of Lucerne or
Schuylkill that are resisting the draft. Not at all. They
have been taught by the "Democratic candidate for Go
vernor: and others of his same opinions, that they must
resist the National Government if they wish to be in
happiness and in the enjoyment of their rights. The
ignorant masses who will vote for Woodward are not
responsible for the success of the sympathizers. If an
honest man regarded the conscription act as un
constitutional, he would not resist now, in tte
face of the enemy It is a law of Congress. and in
tended for the gond of the country, and as swill should
be executed. The armies must be reinforced. He
who would not replenish our decimated ranks
cannot be faithful. The opposition to the conscription
act comes.olll9 from those who feel for the ruin of the
Southern armies, and regret their overthrow. Now
the duty of loyal men is plain. If Judge Woodwares
election will givq\ns the Union, and be viewed in the
South as a defeat to them, vote the , . ticket. If you
would be sure you - ale doing right. if yon wish our
beloved flag to float in still greater triumph, vote for the
lo) al ticket, with our present patriotic Governor at its
head. Can it be that a patriotic man can mistake his
duty . now? There can be no mistake. The Southern
leaders understand the importance of the coming con
- test. The) call upon Lee to act the politician and so di
rect his military movements as to secure a Democratic
triumph. Let us look to it that there be no triumph
over us of the armed rebel, or his symathizing friend.
. Mr. Win. S. Pierce followed in a spirited speech. He
joined with Decatur and all like bim who could have
as amot to, "Our con try, right or wrong; and may she
alwa3 sbe right." Such a country as oars was worthy
of all our affection and support. We have a country that
may well r xcite our pride. -It is like the dew of heaven.
falling upon us so gently that we scarcely feel its weight.
The foundations of this Government were laid, not in
1776, though at that time its principles bloomed forth in
all their richness and glory. It was in 1611 that this Go
vernment was founded, when the Pilgrim fathers plant
ed the seeds of that great oak, tinder whose broad foliage
we have found sn much shelter and protection. It was

the unknown and remote future„ awaits-our beloved.
country.. It survive all its enemies, internal.
and external. It is not to-day that. this great Go
vernment was nrst assailed. The enemies of the
Government have, under the plea of State rights and
other issues, endeavored to pervert it from - the objects of
. .
its formation. Mr. Pierce Proceeded to discuss the poli
tical differences which have agaitated the people, and
with a happy. nse.of rood-humored illustrations, enter
tained his hearers to their utmost satisfaction. On the
subject of the all-absorbing topic of Democratic ha
rangues—the Constitution—the speaker bad but one sim
ple argument. The country must he saved, and what is
in the wsy must be removed. If his life stands in the
way of the Government. he was willing to surrender his
life. Ifs the Constitution is in the wav of the Govern
n cut, the Constitution must perish. If a row
of lioness are afire. and it is necessary to blow them
up, bef , re the fire extends itself to another row, why
then blow them up. With regard to the charge that
the Government cannot subdue the Sonth, the
speaker would tell a little story. There 'wars once
in prison two criminals. and one, believing in his
constitutional right+, averred that, the jsilors could not
keep them longer in this prison ' But they do," said
the other They-cannot keep a 5 here long," was the
retort. " But they do," was again the reply Now the
Copperheads may cry that the Administration cannot
subdue the South. But "they do." It may be said the
States of the South will never return Bat they do."
Witness Ternessee, Kentucky, Maryland, Alissuiri,
North Carolina, rkan sas ! The work goes bravely oa.
On all sides we have victory and success. The day of
peace and Union is returning, however - much the Cop
perheads may regret and bewail it. .
Air. Pierce continued at farther length in a' patriotic
and humorms strain,4e which the attention orthe audi
ence was closely. riveted,' The meeting subsequently
adjourned, with a display of much enthnstasm fop Obv
Curtin and the other eandidstes on the ticket.
