THE UNION-THE CORSTITLynON-AND THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW. TE*ARISBITHG,, PA Tuesday Morning, March 4, 18621, THE WAR AND ITS IMMEDIATE ,RE SULTS. That.the war was organized and precipitated for the pnrpoee of crushing the Influence of free labor, is no longer a question for debate. The 'Maimed object of the - secession leaders was first, to get rid of the thraldom imposed by an association in which the labor of oue party was free and indcpendent, with an equal ly tree exercise of the ftioctions of government, whtle that of the other was made completely subservient : to capital, and totally denied all participation In the franchises of government, except as the numerical strength of such labor inves!ed those who claimed its ownership, with a monopoly of all the powers of geVernment Those thus invested with a r-pl esentation in government, that was not real, and, that bad no solid. intelligent and independent basis for its foundation*, were in daily fear that the struc ture of their political and social organization world fill to pieces. Therefore it required a: oonstant,revisios of the law to preserve the bal ance of power, and keep theinstitution of slave ry tip to the progress and growtn of free labor. When new territories were formed, and by the energy of free labor new commonwealths were ushered into the Union, at once new goaran teeri Were insisted , on by those interested in slavery,, so that what it lacked in energy and intelligence to achieve for itself a becoming position and some real' progress, the law of the land must vouched°, and the Constitution be amended to appease its insatiate appetite . andjealousy. The repetition of this demand and , frequent satisfactioo of these claims, at length wearied and disgusted the people M the free states. With the'suspicion that the deter mination of progress so steadily manifested . by theiseassea of the north, would at length, cul minate 'in a refusal to be harrmsed wad hap* tied *dusty, the upholders of that institu tion hoped, by the inauguration of rebellion, to crush at once ail free government and,all free laticti . :' ; When the soutbern * Stanza - tiiiia;.d together, they had, no hope of improving their own condition. The nbeitrike at the Union desiring to 'achieve such an object.— The end Which - they aimed at was the bundlia- tion of - northern society as it was represented in tree' labor, and the destruction of every po *litidar right which invested labor with Privi-. leges . beyorlid . thOise to toil and live..' , After almost twelve months of open revolt and armed resistance to the federal law, it re-' quireironly i a"limited glance to Piirceive how, far the, rebels have, sacceeded in affecting either the•progr‘.or power of free labor. The first result of the rairolt;as stated by the traitors therPselies t would be the refusal of the north enkmasssii:to respond to •the summons of the -President. tcsfassist putting down rebellion. Histbry - hali Proved' how fallaoiotio'fittCh a faith wasin reality; and history farther provis that the' vOUptCer force has alwaii; eacec44l the deniaridpf the government, and that it could also at any given time, be incressed.to'cloable • its tintabers. The next result, is case the ne osvagY in* shoal ,offer to sustain the govern meat, would be•tbe multiplication ot burdens, which the::people would 'never' support, but whiek, ,Wetild be resisted by other ; rehdlions thag g thiki the,, south.

Up to 1861 the Nero York Bimini Post says that the south bad furnished .seven out of the I thirteen Presidents, and had twelve out of the eighteen terms, or forty-eight years out of the seventy-two since the adoption of the constitu tion, thus leaving-the Presidential office to be occupied by nortllem 'men, only twenty-four years, or just one third of the time. Five of the southern Presidents each served two terms, while no northern man has ever been allowed s re-election. Besidest r -three , Presidents were : " northern men with southern princitiles," and this, in effect, gives twelve years more to the south, making sixty years in which they have had almost supreme- control, and leaving but twelve years during which the government has been administered; even nominally, by northern Presidents. But during these twelve years'it could be shown that 268,000 slave-owners had a preponderating influence in public) affairs and in shaping the policy of the government.. 80 long as the country was satisfied with this state of things tint eltivehol4o, 'of, course, did not complain ; but.the moment the people yen-. turgid; by: perfectly legal- and constitutional means, to elect to the executive office a man who .represented - the revealed '.iienti ments of the majority, those slaveholders re volted. • • • In reviewing the 'events' of the last year, to gether with the circumstances which preceded and prepared the way for them, we - Cannot but recognize the gilding hand of an All-wise and All-controlling 'Providence: How, wonderfully has He, arranged all , the conditions of this great drama! • - • - • - - I.

She accordingly came.. back, arriving at 2 P. IL . At about three o'clock yesterday afternoon the Confederate steamer Jamestown, which, with the Yorktoivn, is stationed off Hog Island, steamed down to the Express with a flag of truce to ascertain the cause of her appearance in the riveron two successive days. She stopped abreast of the Express at a few rods distance, and lowered a boat with a lieutenant on board to communicate. He was informed of the errand of the Express,ancl she was acting upon information' firnished by Genral Huger, when he explained that his commander had , no knowledge of any expected'prisoners, and from seeing the Express l on two days in"suoetaion, came down to learn' the occasion. He expressed himself satisfied, and returning to the . Jamestown, she went back to her station. She. has been armed with a gun at her bows sod another at. her stern, and has a sharp iron cut water projecting some three feet `from her bows at the water lime. She is sup! posed to.be commanded by Captain Barnard. Having been twice thsappointed in relation to the expected prisoners it. is not known when they will be sent down the river. It is uncertain whether Col. Corcoran will be among the number, although it is quite proba ble. Another interview took place yesterday Off Craney Island bet Ween Gen. Wool and Geo.

While large ships of war may be easily repelled*,an i destroyed by the fire of orts, these small boats, with a - few guns, and secured by iron mien' boats, can 'approaCh near to the object of assault, defy the heaviest artil lery, and throw shells into an open fort, which Will render it untenable.
