Pan- MA' Garate hoists that
• i
Amekica has backed down before British
pinch. Somellme ago bin Smarm made
a speech in the ;United States Senate
• Chamber. This speech, when it was ,
read In England, produced the wildest
excitement. All or the prominent news:
Papers appeared, teeming with bluster
and "blatant, btillying threats; official
gentlemen Witte Ilene letter's to the
t
e o,
77M7f
Times; and the whole atmosphere seemed
,as tbick with war as with fog. A repu
diated Sensior of the United States, so
journing in London, wrote a letter deny
ing some of Mr. Summrat's propositions,
but our Government said nothing,- either
for or against those propositions; nor to
this hour has it or its representative,
Mr. MOTLEY, said anything which sup.
ports or opposes them; yet the English
papers are filled with articles of a much
milder character, and
_Mr. Mcrura has
been cordially uceived in. Liverpool.
This whole affair, which forcibly recalls
to our mind England's behavior in the
Schlestvig•Holstelii affair, isome years ago,
is called by the Pall Mall Gazette the
backing down of America. It' was in
jest this way that Germany backed down
when England threatened.to"fight if Den
mark were not allowed to rentin unmo
lested.
Resolved (12th.) That the Republicans
of Allegheny county have neither part
nor lot In any vague and indiscriminate
impeachment of public servants: whose
official records stand open to challenge
the specific and 7 minute investigation of
their constituents, and that we can justly
hold no citizen, whether in or out of
office,•to be guil ty of offense against the
tiublic interests or the law, until that
offense be proved by clear and ample
testimony.
This resolution was adopted. by the
County Convention. It was suppressed
in the Legislative, by Mr. TuOnes
STEEL, who put it in hisßocket, against
the remonstrances of his tic) colleagues
on the Committee. We' have reason to
know that it would have been adopted by
that body, if they had been permitted by
him to vote upon it. The Judicial Con
vention were led to reject it by the advice
of a friend of the Commercial. In thus
putting themselves on the record in favor
of "vague and indiscriminate" attacks
upon their own public men, and of hang.
ing accused parties without a fair trial,
we affectionately submit to, the Repub
lican delegates in the body that they
made a grave mistake. It Is pleasant to
reflect that their nominees for the Judi
ciary are quite too well qualified for their
positions to administer justice on the
_principles thus avowed by their rejection
of the resolution.
Mr. REVEBDY JOHNSON never filled
us with adminitioi for his qualities, either
as a citizen or a publicist. He has com
monly excited in us ii feeling of repul
sion-rather than of cordiality. As Min
ister-from the United States tulhe Britt&
.
monarchy, both his official andiemi-of
fioial deportment was not only lacking in
dignity bUt was clearly open to censure
as tibservient and truckling. He , was
charged . wi.h a mission of remarkable
gravity. anti.. , „.dellcacy, In the due execu
tion of it a peculiar poise of mind—a
calmness of manner and a dignity of ut
terance—were indispensable. Menace
and bullying were,to be avoided, on the
one hand, and all appearance of supplica
tion or adulation, on the others The
mini - titer did not comprehend the situation
in which he was placed, or,compreheßd
ing it, was deficient in the qualifications
of \temperament, intellect and culture' to
fit him rightly to perform the task that
had be,en unwisely assigned to him.
That the treaty he negotiated for the
settlement of the Alabama claims failed
b to to atisfy popular opinion in this country,
e manifest so soon as the terms
the of transpired. But, there are rea
son 1 to apprehend that the dissatisfaction
instantaneously - developed among the
'peoifie, was caused in larger part by
Mr. Jonusox's bearing abroad than by,
the conditions to which he assented.
ir c
Ns st for the negotiator was naturally
tra sferred _to the result of his labors.
Th outcry against the treaty soon be
ns ecnanimous and emphatic. _
iur. r.
zur. t,HAILLES SOMMIR, in his plaits in
the Senate, while the_ treaty was tutder
consideration, in secret session, made an
elatorate argunient against its ratification.
At is request he was allowed to publish
his apeech to the world. Its publication
presented that gentleman in an entirely
new attitude. Instead of combatting
I
prevalent opinions, passions and preju
dice, he was found for once to be in com
plete sympathy with the madness of the
hour among his countrymen.
T t this speech was learned, it is need
less affirm; but not a little of the erudi
tion it contained was misapplied and mis
chies;ons. We said at the time, that the
logiclof the rejectiOn Of: the treaty—pro
vided rejection should - N,be, passed on the
grainubmssumed by 114.- I Busiroan—was

the grounds developed by the Senator
from Massachusetts, but- by -a, combina
tion of causes, many of which were of an
entirely different character.
In view of the excitement no cc pre
vailing In England over the demands
made by Mr. Sustnsn, it is fortunate that
Mr. MOTLEY is not charged with the
duties of immediately-renewing negOtia
tions. The tumult of British feeling will
presently subside, particularly when it
comes;to be seen that the United States
does not press a preposterous rule of
damages to serve as a pretext for seizing
British possessions on this continent, or
in the ndjecent waters. i
Nor has the United States need to be in
haste. Its just claim will not shrink or
lose force by delay. Even the eloquent
denunciation by 'Mr. WENDELL PHIL-
Lirs, of all those principles of interna
tional law by the violation of which we
feel aggrieved, and entitled to insist upon
compensation, will not change the ma
tured conviction of even one citizen. It
may suit-his notions of Republican propa
gandism in Cuba to set up a totally differ
ent rule of right for the government at
Washington to follow, from that which
he denounced England for not observing
during the Rebellion here, but his incul
cations in that regard will not bear the
fruit he desires. Such a rule adopted to
wards Spain would not only release all
demajad we have on England for indem
nity, but would put us to the blush for
eetting up any claim whatever.
Fortunately, the United States can
afford to' wait until such period as the
feelings of rulers and people, here and in
EnglandAhall be chastened by lapse of
time; and then such a settlement will be
made as shall redress . the grievances of
those of our citizens who suffered loss,
and as shall add new significance to inter-
national obligations in all cases of unjust
uprising against legitimate and beneficial
authority.
THE SLAUGHTERED RING.
Time and again the Pittsburgh Com
mercial has, beeh invited to specify the
men composing the "ring" which it has
so often denounced. Bat on that point,
of specific accusations, it has been silent
as the grave. On Tuesday morning, it
again invited the Convention to crush
the "ring of corruptionists" forever.
And on Wednesday morning, it solemnly
announces that the needful work to that
end has been gloriously , accomplished.
This is welcome news to all of us. There
are none of our good Republidan citizens
who will not heartily unite with our
neighbor, in its felicitations over this
auspicious- result. In town and country
there has appeared of late a marked in
clination to ''discomfit the rings, so that
the Republican organization should
emerge from the prdeal strengthened and
purified." _ -
The "ring" says our neighbor has been
flattened out and forever done for. We
•are mdt favored with the names of the of
fenders thus'sacrificed to an aroused peo
ple's honest - indignation. They were led
to execution with their faces shrouded
from curious eyes and died, as they lived,
unknown. Well! we would have been
glad to - have learned their names, ages
and ostensible occupations; this fvould
have only satisfied ># natural curiolity.
But that certainly was denied to out' peo
ple, and - we must fain be happy in know
ing that these masked and infamous "cor
,ruptionists" can never again return to
plague our people, after the .deeP damns
.2,loll of this taking off.
Since no ono seems to know what citizens composed the dead "ring," It may
be gratifying to mention some other citi
zens who still live, .to enjoy the honor of
having destroyed the "ring" forever.
For example, there are the officers of the
three Conventions, Messrs. T. M. Man
edam., A. M. BROWN and A. H. GROSS. .
It is pleasant to hear from the Commercial
that these gentlemen did not belong to
the dead "ring." There were the Chair
man and a large majority of the Com
mittee on Resolutions. They, too, are
now to be counted out of the obnoxious
"ring". There are the prominent lead
ers, in the two Conventions where any
contest was made, who so successfully
accomplished the nomination of every
candidate on the ticket.-Those gentlemen,
the leading Republican politicians of the
bounty, are also acquitted of any con
nection with the "discomfited ring of
corruptionbits." , There are the nominees
themselves, from the highest to the low
esq:not gun of whom; as we are happy
to learn from the Commercial, is justly
chargeable with complicity in the "Infa
mous clique" which it has warred against.
AU these, officers, leading menihers and
nominees, now stand acquitt,ed: of any
share in the "ring," by our 'neighbor's
sweet voice. s. -
This leads us a step farther. • Perhaps
our Investigations may yet reveal some
definite knowledge as to that dreadful
"ring." If it was beaten, "defeated at
every, point," flabbergasted, and cata
wampously chewed up—aft the Commer
cial very correctly asserts that it was—
we can only look for its, members among
the catalogue of slain. For example,
was Mr. G. H. ANDERSON one of the
oxingt" He was•the ComMerciars favor
ite candidate for the Senate, and a very
good man nevertheless. He must have
been beaten as one of the "ring." - If so,
served him right! Look at the candidates
for Assembly also, and we shall find
more•of the "ring" among the. victims
here. vras Mr. -HOLTZMAN, the Cons•
mercies faforite, who ; got - 'fourteen
votes • and then was snuffed out
forever,—Wati be one of the "ring ?".

So - wih
lothins of our neighbor's friends and fav
orites who went to grass at the first
round. It was their guilty connection
wlthlthe "ring" that did their lousiness.
Not o

with Mr. Taylor,who is nominat
ed f re-election, : although the Commer
cial, which now swallows him, expressly
said, not many days since, that Mlles
Humphreys was the only old member
who merited a return to the House. We
regret to learn front the . Commercial that
its friend and champion for the office of
Commissioner, must have also belonged
to the "dead ring,"' 1 since our Republi
cans declined to accept his official ser
,
vices even free gratis for nothing.
And so it seems to have been,—as our
neighbor pats it in his bulletin after the
battle—with all of the defeated candi
dates. It goes hack on its bleeding
friends, and scoffs-at their defeat by tell
ing that the "ring" has been handsomely
"beaten at all points," and that anti
ring is every where triumphant. This is
cold comfort for MeSsrs. ANDERSON,
HOLTZMAN, DILWORTH and toe other
long lists of diappointed aspirants.
Now let us say, once /for al that we
think better than that . ; . :Of these defeated
candidates, who, with a - few exceptions,
were not beaten because they belonged to
any "ring," but because the friendship of
the Pittsburgh Commercial was fatal to
theft. prospects. And we urge them to
hold their falseiriend, who,now realizes
this, to a strict account for the . ton
Elan ier against their public and pe sonal
virtue. , , •
Let us also say that every can idate
known to be friendly to the Pittsburgh
Commercial, and to be supported by the
trading clique of its peculiar partizans,
was laid out by the Conventions as cold
as a wedge. Let our neighl or name, if

the force of old habits. / - : ,
'Well, we are all glad that 'the naughty
"ring" has been beaten, that so Many dis

the names of its really guilty metnbers
stand at last revealed in the catalogue of

Thomas Carlyle on a "Future State:,
A dlasiow paper gives to the public an
interesting letter, (never before pub
lished) written many years ago by
Tho Mas Carlyle, in reply to an inquiry
put before him by a yOung lady who had
givenjher mind much to the moral prob
lems involved in the question of a future
state:
THE. GRANGE, ALERSFORD,
September 27, 1848.
MylDnen MADAM: The question that
perplexes you is one that no man can an
swer) You may console yourself by re
flecting that is by its nature insoluble to
human creatures—that what human crea
tures 'mainly have todo with such a ques
tion is to get it well put tc{ rest, sup
pressed if not answered, so that their life
and its duties may be attended to
without impediment from it. uch ques
tions in this our earthly existence are
many; "There are two things," soya
the German philosopher, "that strike me
dumbl—the starry firmament, (palpably
infinite,) and the sense of right and wrong
in man." Whoever follows out- that
"dumb" thought will come upon the ori
gin 43'f our conceptions of heaven and
hell-Hof an infinitude of merited happi
ness and an infinitude of merited 'woe—
and hAve much to reflect upon under an
aspect considerably changed. Conse
vendes good and evil, blessed and ac
cursed, it is very clear, do follow from all
our nations here below, and prolong, and
propagate, and spread themselves into tl p
Infinite, or beyond our calculation and
conception; but whether the notion of re
ward and penalty be not, on the whole,
rathei a human one, transferred to that
Immense divine fact, has been doubtful to
manyl, Add to this consideration, which
the best philosophy teaches us, that the
very j consequences (not to speak
.01 the penalties at all); of evil
actions die away, and. become
abolished, long before I eternity
endsl , t , that it is only the consequences of
good' ctions that are eternal—for these
are in harmony with the laWs of this
universe, and add themselves to it, and
co•operate with it forever; while all that
is in disharmony with it must necessarily
be without continuance and soon fall
dead÷asperhaps you have - heard in the
sound of a Scottish Psalm amid the
mountains, the true notes alone support
one another, and the Psalm-which was
discoidant enough near at hand, is a per
fect nielody when heard from afar. On
the whole, I.,mnstatcettnt it but a morbid
weak imagination that shudders over this
wondrous divine universe as a place of
despair to any creature, and, contrariwise,
a most ,degraded human sense, sunk
down' to the region of the brutal (how
ever common it be) that in any case re

The Union of the Presbyterian Churches.
Rev. , 'Dr. Robert J. Breckenridge, a
meml?er of the New School Presbyterian
Ohmilt organization, and editor of one
its principal publications, strongly, and
as usual with him, violently opposes the
propdped union of the New and Old
Schools. His objections are wholly on
religious grounds; politically, Dr. Breck
euridge was with the . Old School. His
protest concludes with the following
wordit
ptain
flow-
brm
"In the end, I must be allowed to say,
that ii.bas seemed to me that this whole
movement for reunion between the Old and
New Schools, since it first appearance in
the, General Assembly at Columbus, Ohio,
in 1862, as an organized agitation, bas
been most senseless, graceless and dan
gerous excitement, against which it was
the duty of every enlightened man, and
every; truly pious man in both denomina
tions4' to contend earnestly. I make this
protect against the proposed union; and
againet all the proposed conditions there
separately and collectively' - and
agalniit the methods resorted to for its
farthdrance; and against the spirit which
in public and in private, so largely ch'ar
acterikes its advocacy, and Its leading
advocates, solely out of a sense of duty
to God, to His Church, to my brethren In
Christ, and to my own soul; And it any
knotqedge of lily acts, or any reinem-'
brance of my name shall survive, either
In thia Church, now soon to be rescued
by the Lord, - or in it after God shall have
humiliated and purged it, and then deliv
ered it with an outstretched arm, my de
sire in that this protest may survive the
scoffe,of this age of vehement pretensions
and shallow knowledge of divine things.
Therefore, as well as to make clear my
individual responsibility for whatever; in
word or thought, any may object to, I
hereto affix my name."

a horridly vivid description of the rites of
the Algerine dervishes. After whirling
themselves into the proper condition of
hisanity, "a, brother appears from behind
with a red-hot bar of iron. No. I laps it
with his tongue. I see it smoke. My
bloods runs icily. He slaps the incandes

ministering brother offers him, to ea' some
delicate stems or nieces of glass.' He
crunched them and swallowed them.
His digestion is excellent. If 11, had been

A itztrausauLF, discovery has just been
made by a man at Grenoble,. France, by
which it is calculated that cemeteries,and
graveyaids will become superfluous. At
the decease of an individual the body is
plunged into a liquid invented by a man
of Grenoble, and in about five years the
individual is turned into stone. The se
cret of the petrifaction. Is knoWn only to
the discoverer. Balm goes fluther. He
says that in a thousand years' time, if
persons will only pfesem their relatives
and friends, they will be able to build
houses with them, and thus live in resi
dences surrounded by their ancestors.
