The tree interests of the American peo ple will be better served at this important period of our national history by a thorough find complete development of the immense resources of our existing territory than by any rash attempts to increase it. Efforts are constantly being made to embroil us in / war with France, on the pretext of en forcing the Monroe doctrine in Mexico, which might possibly lead to the ad dition of a few more Mexican. States to our domain; and some journals are endeavoring to create a popular passion for the annexation of Canada, which may tend to involve us in difficulties with Great Britain. In due time both these 'acquisitions may be peaceably and honorably made. But the true way to acquire additional ter ritory, is to got'eM well and wisely that Which we now possess, and to so advance - the freedom and prosperity of our whole people that the inhabitants of neighboring countries will envy their lot, and earnestly seek the protection of our benign Government. Peace is now our first necessity. Our war-worn people need its healing influences Sp readjust their de ranged industrial system, to acquire addi tional wealth, to defray the expenses of the recent conflict, and to prosecute the nu merous important enterprises upon which our future welfare largely depends. The great requisites of a powerful and vigorous nation arc, that it should be sound at the heart, animated by lofty impulses, wise in council, firm, united, and energetic in action. Compact England controls a large part of use we ria simply through the vigor of her home govern ment and the skill with which she has developed the varied industrial powers of her people. The loyal States of America are the real sources of the present vitality of our eptmtry, and it behooves them to carefully preserve the unity of feeling and of purpose which carried them triumphantly through the war for the Union, and enabled them to thwart alike the open attacks of domes tic foes and the wily machinations of foreign enemies. We need peace to in crease their resources, as well as to facili tate the work of reorganization which, it is hoped, -will make the seceding States firm allies and friends hereafter. All the mighty energies which were exercised in the recent strife can find profitable employment in numerous occupations and pursuits which promise magnificent rewards for energetic labor. The cities and towns of the North need thousands of mechanics to build the new houses required for the accommo dation of their increasing population, and in the South many ravaged towns must soon be rebuilt. In the North and West millions of fertile acres are awaiting cultivators to furnish supplies Of breadstuffs and provisions, and in the South hundreds of millions of acres capa ble of yielding the most profitable crops of modern agriculture are lying idle. Manu factures of many kinds axe still in their infancy, and thousands of new establish ments could find a profitable demand in OUT home market under a proper protec tive tariff. The railroads of the South need repair, or, in many cases, reconstruc tion. And the era has clearly arrived when our national interests imperatively demand tlisTheedy completion of a railway that will connect the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. This measure will prove of itself of incalculable advantage to the country. It will not only open up to settlement the teeming prairies that stretch 'westward to the Rocky mountains, and hasten the development of the vast mineral treasures that lie buried in the au riferous bosoms of our new Territories, but it will give us the - ees commerce of the world by making our con- Llie shortest and best route of com nelnientina,lintn-op • c`—` --- • - Mena Europe. i the tedious and dan gerous voyages around Cape Horn and the Cape of Good Hope will be succeeded by short and easy, passages in steam. vessels from the East Indies, China, or Japan, to California or Ore gon, thence across our continent to Philadelphia or New York, and thence to Liverpool and European ports. The dream of COL - MB - us will be realized at last and the passage from Europe to Asia will be made by following a course due west. Such a revolution as this 1.12 the commerce of mankind would do infinitely more to increase our prosperity than any territorial acquisition we could possi bly make. It was only in old barbaric times that a nation, after having been suc cessful in one war, thought it was wasting all its energies and opportunities until it commenced another. War with us is the exception, not the rule. Our grandest con quests are made in peace, and it is the wealth and power we gain in peace that enables us to conduct war, when it be comes necessary, with the waistless vigor which signalized our recent campaigns. We have now no active enemies to subdue except the Indians, who are impeding the Westward progress of civilization. It will require but a comparatively slight effort to hold them in check, and all our remaining energies are available for the vigorous pro SeetttiOn of our Ordinary industrial pursuits and the gigantic new enterprises to which we have referred. Let public attention cen tre, then, not upon schemes of conquest, or entanglements in the affairs of foreign lands, but upon the development of the mighty re- sources of our own magnificent country. Let us summon to our aid industrious and thrifty emigrants from Europe, and, wisely diversifying our industry, gain that pre eminence over all other nations, alike in agriculture, manufectures, commerce, and mining, which is clearly in our reach if our energies are properly directed, If we pursue this policy, in good time Canada and Mexico will fall into our possession as naturally as the ripe apple falls to the ground. If we waste our energies now in impolitic wars, we may not only fail to ac complish their avowed objects, but impair our credit and fearfully weaken our whole political system. DEMORALIZATION OF PARTIES. If there is one thing certain, it is that the doctrines of the politicians who-helped the Democratic party to so many years of de feat, are still accepted as gospel truths by the thousands who obeyed their behests and followed their lead. It was in vain that these doctrines were shown to be unsound and dangerous. The clearer this fact was made to appear, the more the leaders insisted upon their opinions, and called upon their disciples for support. Hence, when the New York Democrats resolved to throw all the Copperhead agitators overboard, and gracefully to Surrender " to the Union party, there Was a loud and angry ,protesting howl. The New Y ork News, representing the FnawAnno and B.mr Noon interest, has not yet given in its adhesion to the State ticketof the late Democratic State Conven tion; and it is evident that men and news papers of the same school in Ohio, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, will refuse to join in the surrender of the politician's who placed peneral SLocuM iu. nomination a few days ago, and twice endorsed the policy and the administration' of ANDREW jovssori. The resolutions of the New York Demoernis are as different from the resolutions of the Democrats in Ohio and Pennsylvania as are the latter from the re solutions otlhe Union men of Pennsylvania in their recent convention. Judge BLACK, W, B. REED, and FRANCIS W. HUGHES Call no more support the action of their New York brethnn than they can the action of 66 the Abolitionists" and "Radicals" of • their own State. - In lowa the 4inpathi zeers with secession, headed by the il lustrious GEORGE W. JONES, the friend of JEFFERSON DAVIS, openly repudiate the Democratic State ticket; and in New Jer sey General RuNvort is running for Go vernor on a Democratic platform strongly denunciatory of President Jourfoort. See ing the tendency to utter ruin in these un mistakable signs, the New York Democrats cut loose from their false guides, and are now making•a vigorous etrort to out-bid even the most earnest of the Union politicians. We note these indications with a hopeful feel ing. If the whole Northern people could be actuated by one sentiment—Or, rather, if the arts and sophistries of designing poli ticians were not permitted to divert and divide the natural loyalty of the masses it would make little difference who held the offices. Parties must always exist ; they are essential to, the purification of politics, and mu to the safety of the country ; but when the great body of the citizens resolve to make devotion to the Republic a primary duty, we can well afford to treat differen ces on subordinate issues with the utmost complacency. SOIITHEEN CONGRESSMEN. By an existing law of Congress, every member must take an oath setting forth that he never voluntarily bore arms against the united States ; that he has held no office under a hostile authority, or pretend ed authority, and yielded no voluntary sup port to such an organization, The provi sions of this law are being carefully brought to the attention of the people of Virginia, now that they are about to hold their congressional elections ; and they are warned in advance by leading journals, as well as by a letter from Gov. PEIRPONT, that if they elect officers of the rebel army, or officials who were identified in any way with the civil service of the COD, federaey, they.cannot expect that Congress will repeal an existing qualification, now universally applied) for the special benefit of their members, and that they must, there fore, either return mon guiltless of complici ty -.vim the rebellion or remain unrepre sented. As this rule applies to all the States, it furnishes a short and easy method of pre venting the admission of any notorious re bel to a seat in Congress, and will consti tute an effectual barrier to the aspirations of all rebel candidates for congressional honors. THE BROAD.STREET QUESTION. Nearly all the leading journals have united in protesting against the project of running steam passenger and freight trains through what the Ledger justly calls " the finest avenue of the city," This =natal concert of sentiment is produced by the attempt of "the Central Passenger Rail way" to run " dummy" steam engines on a city railroad along Broad street Alid what renders the demonstration more pointed is the fact that the parties threaten ing this great public outrage shield them selves under a series of laws passed by the legislature of Pennsylvania. The people, who rarely seem to think of inquiring into the character and qualifications of candi dates for office, but go to the ballot boxes on election days and vote the party tickets without even knowing the names of the men who are on them, now and then wake up in great rage to find themselves at the mercy of as sorry and reckless a gang of gamesters as ever cheated at common cards. < We do not say that this is the style of men who claim, an "vested der their web of vested rights," to run steam-engines along Broad street, for the conveyance of passengers, but as their char ter is liberal enoughto be stretched so as to put ai‘ dummy" on all other streets, we suspect the inventors of that elastic diploma are among, the sharp ones that the good people of Philadelphia often send to liarris burg to fill their own pockets, while they are picking the pockets of the State and their constituents. And to this scheme the great public say no ! and the great press say no ! But the swindlers having got the "law on us," lauh in their sleeves—ay, in our faces—and propose to go and do it. When will this locking-the-door- after -the -horse•is stolen business be abandoned ? When will decent men see to it that decent awn are put in au " representative ? We hope, most earnestly per idy will succeed. Some parts of Broad street are so grid-ironed by railroad tracks as to make it unpleasant for private dwell ings. That section of it along, the Opera House, and southward, is in many respects a shameless nuisance. We have sometimes indulged a mysterious hope that these iron corduroys would be taken up, so as to give us one . unobstructed highway—a sort of boulevard—from League Island north ; and a grand thoroughfare it - would he ! But even as we have cherished it, here is a scheme to seize upon the northern end of that noble street, to tie it up with these chains, to blacken its face, and to hammer its houses between the blows of noisy dum mies and make property holders wild with the shrieks of insane locomotives. Let us thank our good stars that there is as yet no charter to put railroads and steamers into our public squares. If they were large enough to tempt the enterprising .en pidity of some of our progressive citizens, they - would, no doubt, soon resound to the drums of the dummies and the fifes of the engines. CONFTREIATIONS of our special despatch announcing the straits of JUAREZ, the Liberal commander in Mexico, came thronging in for days after its publication, and we published one or two of them, more `for the benefit of the public than out of any desire to reply to those who looked upon the despatch as a " roorback." Now we have the realization of our speculations even. JUAREZ has been driven out of Chihuahua, his army is dispersed, and he is really flying to El Paso. This is a little town on the Rio Grande; on the boundary line between Chihuahua and Arizona, and Jl3AnEz's flight to it means that he intends seeking protection in the United States. Time the head of the Liberal Government -the " President" of Mexico—is without . an army, and without the correspon.ding authority. The only army of importance left is that of his Secretary of War, and that is thst resolving itself into prowling guerilla bands, who inflict as much injury on their own countrymen as they do upon the Imperialist& POLITICAL. -We give the Union nominations in several counties of the State for the generally im portant offices: In Clarion the ticket is—Senate, H.

There are three districts in the State. William M. Stone is the Republican candi date for Governor of lowa—not George Ben ton, Mr. Stone is making a vigorous canvass of the State. The Republican State Central Committee of Connecticut haverissued an address to the voters of that State eoneerning the Vote which is to be taken on the first Monday of October, upon amending the Connecticut Constitution, so that black men shall be admitted to the rights of suffrage on the same terms with white men.

Henry Rice, of Ramsey county; for Lieu tenant Governor, Capt. Charles W. Nash, of Dakota county. The people of the Territory of Colorado have adopted a constitution proposed by the late convention. The Legislature, at its first Organization, is to consist of thirteen Sena tors and twenty-six members of the Lower House, to be increased as circumstances may require, after 1870, to thirty and seventy-eight for each branch respectively, which extent of representation is the maximum. The Gover nor's salary is fixed at two thousand dollars per year, the Secretary of State at one thou sand five hundred dollars, and the Treasu rer's one thousand dollars. It IS supposed the people will ratify the proceedings, and that the application will be made to Congress at its next session for the admission of the Terri tory into the sisterhood of States. As the fall elections will soon be coming on, it should be borne in mind that, by virtue of a proclamation of the President, of March 10, issued in conformity to a law of Congress dated March 3,1853, all persons duly enrolled 10.0 departed from the jurisdiction of the dis trict in which they were enrolled, or went be yond the limits of the United States to avoid the draft, are prohibited from exercising the elective franchise. It will be the duty of the authorities to enforce this penalty in all cases at the coming election. The Lehigh Register says:—" During our absence from home last week, we travelled tbrongh a large portion of Bucks county, in which Col.

General Patrick. A special despatch to the Pittsburg Commer cial says : . " The nomination of General Patrick for the State treasuryship of New York, on the Demo. eratie ticket, was received here with a howl of surprise and indignation by every man eon versant with, tleiftetiniertzlif ArmSr of - the POibmac. That office was persistently„opea n ately, and pp_mity_ o p. 1314WIfferyengineered against every repre sentative of the loyal newspaper press of the North and West. It repressed and discouraged the vigorous prosecution of the war, and fos tered sympathy with the rebellion, and held np slavery with both hands. The newspaper men hi lirashington, without distinction of party, regard Gen. Patrick's nomination as an outrage on their- profession and a defiance of the public sentiment of the army which 'writhed and suffered under his tyranny:, Colonel Davis. [From the Doylestown liitenigencer.) The following choice extracts from the Doylestown Democrat, of which Colonel Davis, the present Democratic candidate for Auditor General of this State, was and is the editor and proprietor, are given for the purpose of show ing the sentiments which were disseminated by that paper while he held an omelet position under the Government which was so bitterly assailed in its pages. As Colonel Davis is now before the people asa-candidate for public of fice, and is desirous of receiving their votes, and since he was undoubtedly nominated on account of his having been engaged" in the war, and therefore likely to be more available before the public on that account, it is but just that the. kind of aid his newspaper rendered the Government, and the sympathy it extend ed to its noble, llustrious and lamented chief in his efforts to crush out treason and rebel lion, should be again given to the community. An editorial article in the Democrat of Au gust 21d, Bal, when Colonel Davis was still an officer in the army, reads as follows " With an immense army, a good navy, and the ports of the Confederacy blockaded, we have gained virtually nothing, and will have gained nothing until we . defeat the two main armies of the South. The reasons why we have been so unfortunate, are plain and un derstandable. Mr. Lincoln committed himself to an emancipation policy. Ile hereby aban doned the war for reunion, and made it a war absolutely and unequivocally for ;the negro. Slavery shall not live,' was his motto. Be- . yond this was an object dearer to his heart— his own re-election—which he esteemed more than a hundred thousand lives. These were his two motives for abandoning the principles of our Government; and of perverting the war, For these purposes, and these only, has the war been prolonged; for these purposes were the soldiers massacred at Waste°, and the army of General Grant defeated and foiled; for these purposes has another draft been or dered ; for these purposes have elections been carried by force of arms, and ' bogus States , declared in the Union; for these purposes have thousands been hurled under Confede rate sod; for these purposes have the forts and bastiles of the country been filled with fearless patriots who dare expose the profligacy: of Abolition, and the corruption and despotism of-Abraham Lincoln. " The people are now to decide between this state of affairs and peace—between the old Government and a new despotism—between the protection of our liberties and the surren der of them to an arbitrary and . perfidious ruler. Peace ended with the administration of James Buchanan, and war, bloody, remorse less war, began with the inauguration of Abra ham Lincoln. We have tried war for three years ;• let us now try to effect what war has failed to do. There is no doubt that Mr. Lin coln has done more to cement the States of the Confederacytogether than any man on the continent. lie has pursued a policy calculated to divide the sentiment of the North and har monize that of the South. Yet he has now the presumption to ask a re•election. The ques tion will be ; Lincoln and hiS war, or the Chi cago nominee and peace for re-union. - " - It is a mistaken idea that peace means slavish submission to the Confederacy. It means nothing of the kind. No Democrat ever _expressed his willingness to concede to dis honorable compromise. We have tried war and found by a sad experience that it is Su premely profitless, and that Lincoln and big hirelings are incapable of managing a cam paign successtilly if they wished. Something must be done. The Democratic party pro poses, if we Judge aright, to restore the Union under. the Constitution by peaceable means. Blr. Lincoln has put the prolongation of the war out of the question. Our nation is almost bankrupt, and every branch of industry is suf fering for want of men therefore are men called upon to join the standard of peace for re-union, and defeat the party in power which is more nor less than a thoroughly diSunien party." Again, from a leading editorial of August 30, the week after, we quote the following : " The Confederates contend that they have made an agreement with the Fede,rals for the proper and speedy exeluinge of prisoners; that they have faithfully observed the provi sions of It, and have frequently proposed ex change on its basis.. But Mr. Lincoln says no. Be will permit the white soldiers of the North to rot in the scorching sun, and the Federal army to become a skeleton, before he will agree to an exchange which does not recognize his tyranny, and court his despotic will. " What is the consequence of Mr. Lincoln's refusal I The suffering of our brave and galktnt soldiers. They are left to die on Southern soil rather than relinquish the policy of negro equality. The Confederates are accused of in ordinate barbarity, in order to conceal the despotism and criminal fanaticism of our Pre sident. Let the soldiers remember that Abra ham Lincoln made a solemn agreemen t for the exchange of prisoners of war, and broke it, be cause it did not include negro soldiers, many of whom are runaway slaves of the South. Let them remember that all their sufferings and privations while in captivity were nomad tated by the contracted policy . of Mr. Lincoln. Let them remember that their rights, honor, and their liberty , are outraged on account of the negro ; and done by a President of the United - States. " The negro is the idol of Abolitionism. The whites may die in forts and prison-camps, be cause the negro is not recognized as his equal by the Confederates. This fact proves that our present warfare is a weak tight for negro equality, and negro liberty. No evidence can be found that we are fighting for reunion and the Constitution. The war IS perverted and the man guilty of the aetpresumptuouslyasks the suffrages of the people and of the soldiers in the. army. Let the people renieniber him. Let the wives and children of the prisoners of war recollect that be is the fountain head of their sufferings; and if they becoine widows and orphans, that he is the murderer. Let the prisoners remember him when they eat their last scanty 'morsel, and if the people of this country are true to themselves and to our, suf fering soldiers, they will pronounce him gatiart Hated, despised, scourged by a two-fold ra t • The scorn of millions and the eurse of GA' The above is only a sample of the numerOUS productions of a like character that have ap peared in that paper, during the war, more Of which may appear in our columns hereafter. THE RESTORATION OF THE SOUTH. Full Report of President Johnson's Wed to the Southern Delegations, We yesterday gave a telegraphic report of the conference between a delegation of South. erners and P1'014104 johneop, at the zxecu tive Mansion, on Monday. ,The following is the fall report of the speeches on the occasion: XR. X'FARLAND'S srnicelf. The delegation was admitted soon after ele ven o'clock, and presented to the president as follows by Mr. McFarland, of Virginia: Mu. PRESIDENT: The gentlemen accompany ing me, and whom I have the honor of intro diming to you constitute a number of the most respectable citizens of nine of the South ern States. They come, air, for the purpose Of manifesting the sincere respect and regard they entertain for you, and to express their sincere determination to co-operate with you in whatever shall tend to promote the inte rests and welfare of our common country, and to say that they are aS earnest now and faith ful to their allegiance to the - witted States and to the Constitution of the union as in the past, and that they have great confidence in your wisdom to heal the wounds that have been made, and in your disposition to exercise all the leniency which can be commended by a sound and judicious policy. That they are as sured, in doing this, of your desire and intem tion to sustain and maintain Southern rights in the union of the United States. PRESIDENT JOHNSON'S P.EPI.T. The President was surprised at the imposing appearance of the delegation, and was evL dently much affected in reply. Every gesture and utterance was full of subdued eloquence. The reply was as follows : GENTLEMEN: I Can only say, in reply to the remarks of your chairman, that I am highly gratified to receive the assurances he has given me. They are more that: I could have expected under the circumstances. I must say I was unprepared to receive so numerous a delegation on this occasion,. it was unexpect ed ; I bad no idea it was to be so large or re present so many States. When I expressed, as I did s my willingness to see at any time so many of you as chose to do me the honor to call upon me, and stated that I should.be. grati fled at receiving any manifestations of regard you might think proper to makel-was totally unprepared for anything equal to the present ernenstration. lam free to say it excites in pay mind feeliims and emotions that language is totallyinaffequate to express. When I look back upon my past actions, and recall a period scarcely more than four short years ago, when I stood battling for principles which many of you opposed and thought were wrong, I was battling for the stone principles that actuate me to-day, and which principles I thank my God, you have come forward on this occasion to manifest a disposition to support. I say • now, as I have said on many former occasions, that ' I entertain no personal resentments, en mities or animosities to any living soul south of Mason and Dixon's line, however much he may have differed from me in principle. The stand I then took I claim to have been the only true one. I remember how I stood please. lug with my Southern brethren when they stood with their bats in their hands ready to turn their backs upon the United States; how I implored them to stand with Mc there and maintain our rights and fight our battles under the laws and Constitution of the United States. I think now, as I thought then, and endeavored to induce them to be lieve, that our true position Wee under the law and under the Constitution of the Union with the institution of slavery in it;` but if that principle made an issue that ren dered a disintegration possible—if that made an issue which should prevent us from trans mitting to our children a country as bequeath ed to us by our fathers—a had nothing oleo to do but stand by the Government, be tb.e conse quences - what they might ; I said then, what you all know, that I was for the institutions of the country as all by tile Constitu tion, but above all things I was for the Union Of tbe States. I remember the -tenets, the jeers, the scowls with which I was treated. I remember the circle that stood around me, and remember the threats and intimidations that were freely uttered by the men who opposed me. and whom I wanted to be friend and guide by the light that led me; but feeling conscious in Impou - n integrity, and that I was right, I heeded not what they _might say or do to me, and was inspired and encouraged to do my duty regardless of aught else, and have lived to see the realization of my predictions and the fatal error of those Whom I Vainly essayed to save from the results I could not but foresee. Gentlemen, We have passed through this rebellion. I say we, for it is we who are responsible for it. Yes, the South made the issue, and I know the nature of the Southern people well enough to know that when they have become convinced of an error they frankly acknowledge it, in a manly, open, direct manner ; and now, in the perform ance of that duty, or, indeed, in any act they undertake to perform, they do it heartily and frankly ; and now that they come tome, I un derstand them as saying that : "We made the issue. We set up the Union at the States against the institution of slavery; we Se lected as arbitrator the God of battles ; the arbitrament was the sword. The is sue was fairly and honorably unit. Both 'the questions presented have been settled against us, and we are prepared to accept the issue." I find on all sides this spirit of candor and honor prevailing. It is said by all The issue was ours, end thej aft - menthes: been given against us ; and the decision having been made against us, we feel bound in honor to abiae by the arbitrament. In doing this we are doing ourselves no dishonor, and should not feel humiliated or degraded, but rather that We are ennobling ourselves by our action 5 and we should feel that the Government has treated us magnanimously, and meet the Go verresseptimereiress - terms it has so magnani personally, I siesso=uwet. , ^ ,, Ca-e....-5'..P.a.rX... 1 7-- wheiher affects the North or the South, the .AD Evans, Yale College JIG Luther & wf, Won't.
