The abolition of slavery was the only practical method of destroying sectional ism in this country. The existence of that accursed institution necessarily established a barrier between the free and the slave States that made genuine and universal na tonality impossible. Interests called North ern were uniformly opposed by Southern politicians, on the false ground that they Were sectional, when, in reality, it was only the continuance of a system of en forced labor that prevented them from be ing practically, as they were theoretieally, entirely national. The Government was required, year after year, to conform its whole policy to the requirements of what formed only a small and comparitively in significant part of our whole country (that in which slavery prevailed), or submit quietly to violent denunciations of section alism, and continuous threats of rebellion. While our whole political action was thus subject to a mall= influence, industrial in terests were affected in .a similar way. Emigration from the North to the South was obstructeds and almost absolutely pre vented, because slaveholding was, in the South, the test and touchstone of respects. bility ; free labor was despised, its earnest advocates were denounced, and any open attacks upon the curse that was destroying the vitality of South ern society were prohibited by a ruth less and revengeful public sentiment. The distinguishing characteristics that ennoble free society and constitute the crowning glory of America—free schools, small and well-cultivatcd farms, varied industrial pur suits, numerous mechanical and manufac turing establishments—were almost as im practicable in our Southern States as in the wilds of Africa. It was only the rude splendor of feudalism on one hand and the squalid deeradation and misery of the down trodden slaves and impoverished poor white men that could flourish on their soil. No thing could have been more intensely sec tional than the perpetuation of such a sys tem. The idea that the North could be justly reproached for a want of national feeling because it would not conform all its mighty energies and growing greatness to the miserable system of statesmanship, that best suited such an antiquated and degraded organization, is the most singular absurdity of American politics. Slavery made devo tion to slaveholding interests the one great test by which all public men were judged. No man who hesitated or faltered in complying with the most unreasonable or iniquitous demands of pro-slavery leaders failed to re ceive the vindictive opposition of slavehold ing communities, and the free North was repeatedly summoned to surrender all its cherished convictions and interests, on pe nalty of being declared sectional, because it would not comply with outrageous sectional demands. Fortunately all this is nova end ed, and a genuine nationality may hereaf ter pervade our whole country. Free labor will diversify the interests of the South, and we shall not be perpetually subject to the humiliation of having every national question tried and determined by that ig noble standard—how will it affect the inte rests of a few slaveholders—for the inquiry will rather be in regard to its bearing upon the common interests of the whole American people. When the angry feel ings generated by the late war entirely subside (aud they have already disap peared, in a great measure,) and the work of reorganization is fully completed, no good reason will remain for the formation of geographical parties, and in our discus sions of political measures, judgments and conclusions will no longer be formed by the locality of voters, but by the nature of the issues involved. FREE LABOR. IN.TILE, . SOIJTII. Notwithstanding occasional complaints of the failure of free labor in the South, there are strong evidences of its complete success in some localities, and Or a disposition to adopt juilicious methods for making it avail able. The Nashville Un lop, publishes the following extract from a letter of Major A. J. DOxELSON, who recently visited his plan tation in Mississippi, viz " MEMPHIS, Sept. S.—ram here onmy return from the plantation, where I found affairs in the best possible condition. There is better discipline on the place than has ever been. No grumbling, no disobedience, no disorder among the negroes, and es good a crop as could have been expected after so great an overflow. "The people are greatly cheered up by the ,vood conduct of Governor Sharkey and tresi dent Johnson. Under their instructions there will be no collision with the Freedmen's Bu reau. The negroes on my place say they never - wish to leave it.. As a general rule all the - plantations will he profitably worked, and the negroeswill be compelled to fulfil their con tracts. " Companies are forming, and paying as high as fifteen dollars per acre rentfor open lands, on the Mississippi. it is also believed negro laborers will build up the levee." A Washington despatch to the N. Y Herald of yesterday says: " Another illustration of the change going on in the minds of Southern men concerning negro labor and the best methods of adapting themselves to the conditions by which they are surrounded, was revealed in Conversation this-morning with a gentleman of considera ble wealth before the war began, and the pre sent owner of two large plantations in Georgia Ile intends returning home immediately, sub dividing, hip plantations into small lots con taining-from ten to fifty acres each, and leas. ing them out for a number of years to the most reliable and industrious of his former negro servants, at such rates as they will agree to give and can well afford to pay. In some instances be will give the right of purchase at the expiration of the lease. hen the negroes are settled he will erect a cotton gin and open a country dry goods and grocery store for supplying them with necessaries, and he be lieves iliat in ten years his income will quad ruple what it was before the war. He is too Sensible to Lu long without followers. The tine interot er large Southern lanahoiden is In this direction." We see here not only that the negroes of Mississippi are 'working effectively on their old plantations, but that the sensible idea of - cutting . up overgrown estates into small Rams, to be leased or sold to freedmen, is becoming popular. The plan of the Georgia planter is apparently practicable, and may furnish a ready solation to all present difficulties. A. comirOEARY boasts with just pride of flit ItUinter of arrivals at and departures from our poi t on Tuesday last, enumerating one hundred and eight of the former, and sixty-eight of the latter ; or in all a move ment of one hundred and seventy-six vessels. The want of facilities for trans portation to the sea-ports of the South is, however, complained of, by many of our znernhaiits, and our shippers have certainly Shown less energy and activity in establish ing new lines than those of New York.

Not the least will be a report of a committee of the board - of Health, on' the cholera, and tilA) ability of our city to reamtn free from it. HOW THE HOFEY GOES. Until lately, it was very difficult, almost impossible, to obtain a .complete official statement of the various disbursements to individuals out of the British revenue, on account of salaries, allowances, and pen sions. As far back as the year 1847, the late .TosErn. Hui succeeded in carrying a motion, in the House of Commons, that such a list or statement should be published, as "a blue-book," by the Government. It did not appear in 1847, nor' yet in 1848 ; but, as Parliament was near being prorogued in the July of the latter year, Mr. Humn was infornied, in reply to an Inquiry, that it was considered too troublesome to comply with the order of Parliament. Since Mr. GrAn- STONE has had the financial administration, the report or list in question has regularly, appeared. The volume for 1864-65 gives us some facts which may astonish some of our readers. While the President of the United States is paid $25,000 a year, to which is added a residence placed on a not very healthy site, Queen VICTORIA'S annual allowance, pay able in hard cash, is $1,925,000, to which must be added $125,000 from the Surplus Revenue of the Duchy of Lancaster. Total, $2,150,000. She also has a variety of first class palatial residences, such as Bucking ham_ Palace, Kensington Palace, St. James' Palace, Kew and Windsor Castles—all of which are kept in repair, decorated, and frequently furnished, at the expense of the nation. Besides this, the Prince of Wales has Marlborough House to live in, and a nice little allowance of $500,000 per annum. With the annuities to the King of the Belgium, (250,000 a year, out of which he returns about 00,000,) and to the Duke of Cambridge, his mother and sis ters, the immense sum of $3,000,000 is annually payable, in specie, if demanded, to royalty in England. The Queen's cousin, Lady Trityno, (widow of a deceased chancellor, and daughter of the late Duke of Sussex,) draws $5,000 a year out of the same fund allowed to pension-deserving authors and scientific writers. Besides having over two million dollars a year, for herself, (one-half of which she cannot and does not expend, while indulging in " the luxury of woe,") Queen VICTORIA further has the interest of the $5,000,000 which Prince ALBERT had at the time of his de cease. The members of the Government arc handsomely paid. Lord PALMERSTON'S salary is $25,000 a year—and five Secre taries of State, (Home, Colonial, Foreign, War, and India,) respectively receive the same. So does Mr. GLADSTONE, Chancel lor of the Exchequer. The Irish Viceroy has $lOO,OOO, and the Irish Secretary $27,- 500 a year. The first Lord of the Admiral ty has $22,000 a year ; the Lord Chancellor $50,000 ; the Irish Chancellor, $40,000; the Attorney General about $50,0001 the Soli citor General, $25,000 ; the Lord Advocate of Scotland, $30,000 ; the Irish Attorney General, $20,000. When a change of Min istry takes place, about seventy persons, all holding high office, have to retire—and the gross amount of all their sala ries is $850,000 a year. All the work ing-staff remain in office for life, their sala ries gradually rising, and after thirty years' service, each man may retire on a pension equal to his full salary at the time. A clerk in the Treasury in England commences - with $4OO a year, and cannot obtain the nomination until, in a strict competitive examination, he has shown himself to pos sess a certain quantity and variety of gene ral information. When he retires, after thirty years l service, his income may be, and often is, between $lO,OOO and $12,000 a year. These are a few of the items of national expenditure in England. In some instances, such as the enormous payments to royalty, the salaries may appear high. Yet, most Eng lish statesmen having extensive hereditary estates, the amount of the salary is not of much consequence to them. Each, in his way, has to make a large annual expendi ture, and office increases the necessity of nicking it, • THE SPEECH of General DANIEL R StocLES before the American Institute, .of lieW York, priblished in TEE PRESS this morning, will be found deeply interesting. It is the most comprehensive and eloquent resume of the grand characteristics which distinguished the late war that has yet ap peared. It will be particularly instructive to Philadelphians, who contributed so largely to the mechanical labors and to the supply of the materials, equipments and munitions necessary to insure the success of our armies and fleets. The "speech pays a merited compliment to the officers con nected with the departments at Washing ton, and especially to Hon. Enwrii M. STANTON, Secretary of War, whose energy and foresight deserve the highest com mendation, and whose services were of incalculable value. It shows, too, how the industrial genius of our country gained victories only less brilliant and important than those won by our armies, and draws a series of historic parallels of unusual accuracy and force. The question is often asked whether the true history of the war will ever be worthily written. The brief sketch we refer to furnishes in itself a mag nificent outline, and indicates what a no ble theme awaits the genius of a great his torian. THE RECEIPTS for internal revenue for the present month have averaged about $2,000,000 per day, or at the rate of k 706,000,000 per annum. A nation capable of sustaining taxation to this extent is in no danger of repudiating her debt or sink ing under the burden it imposes, if wise statesmanship guides her councils. No thing but the triumph of dangerous and treasonable politicians, whO would destroy confidence, cripple our financial system, and disregard the honest and patriotic im pulses of the American people, can impair The credit and SOundness of our securities. But all good citizens should remember well how much has been accomplished already by the unity of action that has distinguished the loyal States during the last four years, and the frightful evils that may speedily flow from the triumph of the desperate politicians who struggled in vain to thwart the policy that conducted us triumphantly through all the perils of a gigantic war. In. the cordial Union of the loyal people of the loyal States we found_ safety in the past, and there only can we look for it with eon fiance. in the future. A Sad Affliction. The news of the death of Miss Rebecca Ma graw, the daughter of Hon. Henry S. Magraw (for three years Treasurer of the State of Pennsylvania), will sadden and startle those who knew that lovely young lady, and her rare personal and intellectual gifts. We learn that she died on Tuesday last, at her father's country seat, near Port Deposit, Maryland, and that she, had been ill only a short time. This is, indeed, a sad affliction, and we most sincerely sympathize with the bereaved fa mily upon what they will feel as an almost ir .reparable loss.

He is suffering from nervous prostra tion. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, Fonn, A. A. Surgeon, U. S. A. After the reading of the record of yesterday, the court asked Mr. Baker whether he was prepared to furnish the names of the witnesses who, on Monday, he charged had been tam pered with. Mr. Baker replied that it was impossible for him to know the witnesses by name,exceptinm three or four of them. He would, if he could; give their nettles with the greatest of pleasure. Major General Wallace, the president of the court, appeared to be satisfied with the infer ence drawn from the fact that the counsel is unable to give the names of any of the wit nesses alleged to have been tampered with, and let it be placed before the public. Judge Advocate Chipman read a letter from Chief Justice of the Court of Claims, Causey, .showing that this gentleman had . given his willing consent that the commission should occupy the room of the Court of Claims. The object of Colonel Chipman was to show that the commission occupied the room by ourtesy, and that the commission had not taken possession of it for the purpose of the trial. Owing to the sickness of Captain wirz, the commission adjourned till to-morrow morn ing.

Ilis appearance was greeted with a burst of enthusiasm, and as Library Hall could contain only one-half the numbers assembled, he was compelled to deliver another address in the street. The Union campaign paper, started three days ago Newark., under the title of the Daily Patriot, is a lively sheet, full of good hits and telling revelations, and is obtaining a good circulation. PERSONAL. - Jeff Davis is to have new and more'ffealthy quarters within the walls of Fortress Monroe. Removed from the c•asemates, he is to have rooms in " Court Hall," a large brick building, wherein probably a greater number of the old army officers have at different times quartered than any other in the country—where Davis himself, probably, in his younger days, roomed and messed. It is suggested that he may be 'tried there. In the building is the most exten. sive military library in the country, collected when the post was the school of instruction, whereat many of the most, distinguished offi cers, on both rides, attended, alternately pupil§ and instructors. "Court Hall" is little less than historic. The rebel General Magruder is paying a visit to his sister in England, the wife of Lord Abinger, vho was formerly stationed with his regiment in Canada, where he became enamor ed of the robust claarmi of Miss Magruder, who will be remembered as formerly one of the most portly belles of Washington. —lt was erroneously stated in,Southern letter recently, that Brigadier General Stew art L. Woodford, formerly assistant United States District Attorney, and for the past four years in the service, had resigned his commis- Bien and settled in the practice of the law at Charleston, S. C. The fact is, that General Woodford has resumed the duties of Ills pro fession in New York, in partnership with his old comrade, Mr. Rich. The Matamoros Ranchero of the 23d. ult. says that at last accounts Cortinas, the muelr talked of bandit, was fleeing up the Rio Grande from the wrath to come, and adds: " Among the reasons assigned for this denoue went, is that the emissaries of the defunct Juarez, now holding on to the Brownsville side of the river, have declined to recognize him, and that he (Cortinas) had fallen out with the only friends he has lately had. As a conse quence of this state of affairs, Cortinas—true to Cortinas—has struck for the highways, in safer localities, to continue robbing and plun dering the country. home Say he did not dare to take those three guns with him for fear they would impede his progress; others, however, adirm that he took them along as a sort of make•believe. We incline to the latter opin ion ; for we are assured that he said, just be fore starting, that, with those guns, he would yet control the MatateorOs revenues, the only thing now worth lighting for.'" —itt.

Es-Governor Bigler kind- ly took the wild man in hands, and will pre pare him to - vote for the Democratic candi dates in October. This story may be trite, since large numbers of the residents fled to the woods during the late draft. Many are yet missing, so that more wild men may yet be caught. A large new church is in course of erection at Hatboro, near this eity, and is said by local journals to be very much needed, as the jail is insnflicient to reform the people.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. In view of a remodelling of the revenue sys tem there was appointed by the Government some time ago a board of commissioners, con sisting of three well-qualified persons, who are engaged in a diligent examination of the ,HYs. tern of other countries, and of the practical working of our own revenue laws and regula tions in operation now. It is a task of great magnitude which they have before them, and it is believed that their researches will be of much utility and value. Of course, their power does not go beyond recommendations, which it will before Congress to adopt, only just so far as it may be deemed advisable. 11 - tvt in iraportanee to the Serious task of re storing the Southern States to their normal relations is the duty of judiciously altering the system of revenue, which is the basis and security for the payment of the interest and Principal of the national debt. That system now hardly deserves the name, for it contains many unjust inequalities. The people, no longer engrossed by the stirring events of war, very naturally give more attention to the doings of thetas-gatherer, and feel, as never before, all that appears to be inequitable, while they have confidence that the existing features of the law that are faulty will be rectified at an early day.

The old were steady at 80. Railroad and canal bonds were very quiet, the only sales being of Camden and Amboy at 88, and Lehigh Navigation Ss, 1 81, at 93. A charac teristic ofthe share market was the absence of any sales of lleatiNg until after three o'clock in the afternOon, when about 400 shares changed hands. As this is the fancy stock for every day's operations, and in most cases the "criterion to go by," the fact of its not selling until so late in the day is remarkable. The rest of the list was entirely devoid of spirit. A few lots of Ca.tawissa Railroad sold at 26 1 4 for the preferred, and 1434 . for:the common stock, the latter being an advance of 3‘,. The speculations in Passenger Railroads were confined to Hestonville, which sold at is; Thirteenth and Fifteenth was held at I.BX, 5 Spruce and Pine at 22 ; Chestnut and Walnut at 52, and Green and Coates at SI.

The following bids were made for Bank stocks : North America,lBo ; Commercial,l-1 ; Mechan ics', 29% Girard, 5234 ; Manufacturers' and Mechanics', 2034. Oil stocks continue very dull. There is a fair inquiry for Canal stocks, with sales of Norris Canal preferred at 121, and Schuylkill Navigation at 32% . . For the com mon stock 2434 was hid ; for Susquehanna, 9.; for Delaware Division, 30 ; and for Wyoming Valley 52. An arrangement is to be made by the Cleve land and Pittsburg road to nave an officer of the company in New York to sign transfers. In reference to the meeting held in New York on Tuesday, for the purpose of consider ing the subject.of the redemption of national bank notes, the Tearing of Commerce says that at the meeting a letter was read from Secre tary McCulloch, expressing his decided opim ion that the best interests of the banks and country required the enforcement of a system Of redemption. A telegram was receivedfrom Comptroller Clarice announcing his sickness, which had delayed his letter, but promising to write at once. It was known that he has strongly urged the adoption of such a plan, and would warmly Commend it. At the opening of the meeting a technical objection was made to the consideration of the subject by the Clearing House Association and the character of the assembly was changed to that of an association of bank officers. A mo• tion to lay the topic of discussion on the table was lost. It was then considered at length. Be fore the vote was taken the expected letter from Mr. Clarke was received. He recites the facts eonneeted with the great expansion of the currency, and declares that the national bank notes cannot bb kept at par throughout the country without the proposed plan of redemp tion. He alludes to the tendency to radical legislation, where self-interest is so greatly Concerned, and calls upon the conservative banks to aid the Government in establishing a plan of redemption, and thus. to erect a bar rier against many of the evils which are threat ened. , After the reading of these letters, and some other explanations by various persons present, the report of the committee was accepted without a dissenting voice. A resolution was then adopted agreeing to establish a plan of redemption on the pineiplea thus represented, and the meeting was adjourned for one week to perfect the details of the newsystem. This, too, passed without a dissenting vote. The Washington Chronicle of yesterday says ; The Philadelphia Daily News Of Saturday, in an elaborated column of financial comment, takes occasion to deny the accuracy of a state ment made by Mr. Spinner, Treasurer of the United States, in his letter to the New York Evening Post, in regard to the recent issue of compound-interest notes by the Treasury De partment. Mr. Spinner says, as quoted by the News; assure you that the notes of a recent date that you speak of, have been issued in ex change for such as have run from six months to a year,' tte. The News controverts this state ment, and quotes, in support of its views, the gross amount of compound-interest notes in cir culation on the aid of July, as compared with the amount in circulation on the slat of August, as they appeared in the Treasury Statement of the Public Debt at these two periods, and, as the outstanding amount was greater at the latter date than at the former, it infers that Mr. Spinner's asseveration cannot be correct. In so doing the News is unjust, both to itself and to the Treasurer. Unjust to itself, because it is not wont to be so obtuse as thus to stultify itself in consecutive paragraphs; and unjust to the Treasurer, because the inference from the News article is that Mr. Spinner has made a false statement to the Post. "The Simple fact IS, as every business man in this community knows, that the notes'of a recent date' have been issued in - exchange for those of an earlier date, and these earlier ones destroyed. Mr. Spinner does not say that the issues in exchange commenced at the date of the statement,. of July,Bl, nor can any such inference be justly drawn irOM his letter. On the contrary, writing in September he says the 'notes of a recent date,' Ste. That hir.Sphener's assertion is strictly and literally true le mat ter of notoriety hero With every one doing business at the Department.' The precise date at which such exchange commenced (in line of new issues) we (10 not know, but, according . to our recollection, it Was about the middle of August. "The News says: ' The clerks in some of the departments at Washington were paid their monthly , salary, due on the Ist, in notes bearing date August 31st, , e.g. This is simply' untrue, inasmuch as no notes have been issued by the Treasury Department bearing date August 31,1885. "The assertion of the News that the volume of Currency is steadily increased by the issue ofli compound-interest notes •is equally un true. This form of issue was wisely desired; and is now falfiling the exact, purpose for Which it was designed It was issued at a time when it was thought inexpedient to haerea.se the volume of circulation to such an extent as the prompt discharge of the Government's obligations would require, if the old form of non•intereSt bearing notes should be useq, and when negotiations of the public seen HUM, in lar amounts, were difficult, it not impoSst- Me. it was thought that an issue of notes bearing interest—the interest accumulating and compounding until maturity, though at first taking the form of a circular, won d eventually become a loon, from the belief that as their value increased by accumu lated interest they would be hoarded by parties desiring investments, and thus pass, out of circulation and into the vaults of banks or otherplaces of security. This be lief proved well founded, as hoarding of coupon-interest notes is already largely the result. The earlier issues arc not found iII eir eulation at all, so that of the gross amount out standing only a part is in the channels of cir culation; and this part is daily becoming less, as the outstanding issues increase in value. The etforte of Government to withdraw a por tion of the earlier notes, and substitute litter ones, not only effects a saving to the Govern ment without loss to the people, but increases the desire for withdrawal of the notes from circulation on the part of capitalists and others, by comparative or apprehended scar city of old dates; and if, as it has been rumored, the Department sboeld fund a portion of this issue for its face value, with the accumulated , in terest added, the witlidra,wal by the people would increase, and only those of very recent dates be left in circulation." The New York Pod, of yesterday eyeniegr says: Wall street is rather depressed to-day in con sequence of the apprehension that the ease and inactivity of tie loan market will suffer some perturbation from the drawing of capital to the Weßi to move the crops, and to the South to develop its reviyins; business. here is again a rumor that some tioternment dnao cial negotiation is about to be started with a view to check speculation.

The highest compliment that could be paid to the Wheeler & Wilson sewing Machines, is the fact that over 200,000 of them have been sold, of which 7,000 have been sold in this city alone. Their reputation is world-wide, and every fa mily not yet supplied with one of these instru ments should go to 70.1 Chestnut 'street, and order one at once. "WHAT EVERYBODY SAYS MUST BE TRUE."--• It is not doubted that there are several sewing machines extant that are little better than none, yet there is a wide difference between what are regarded as "first-class," which any one will appreciate by examining and coin paring. For some months past the praises of the celebrated "Florence " machine, sold at No, 0.30 Chestnut street, have been upon almost every tongue, and it is very certain that talese encomiums are not without foundation. The "Florence" perforn'is all that any Other sew ing machine has ever attempted; performs it more neatly, and with less labor, Every one is provided with a Barnum ?elf-sewer, free of charge, and sold with a guarantee to give per fect satisfaction or the money to be refunded to the purchaser. Buy the "Florence," by all meaue, TO HOLDEIIB or Oct Ftvu-Twussmius.—We would call the attention of holders of the above bonds to the wide difference in price now existing between them and the new Issue, Which bears the additional advantage of two tuad•a-half years longer time to rim.
