A Republican Government
Referring to the decision of the Cowls. of
Common Picas in the election ease of Disnict
Attorney, in Philadelphia enmity, the Evening
Bulletin says :
"We recognize in it a proud proof of the in
tegrity of our institutim s. TO vindicate the
purity of the ballot box, no army of bayonets
has been required: but simply the decision of
a civil court, sitting Wi!liont pomp, and tiding

ter having held his exalted post for months, is,
by a quiet decree of the judiciary, nansforme.l
again into a simple citizen; while a private in

tho vacated office. Can any but a republican
government exhibit a spectacle like this I Need
fears ever be felt for the perpetuity of our in

Exportation of Specie
The exportation of Specie Iron New York
during the month of April, amounted to $3,•
481,182. Since the beginning of the present
month the flow of coin to Europe has gone on
with increased amounts. The Asia, which sail
ed on Wednesday, took out about 8870,000;
the Humboldt, on Tuesday, took out 8898,031;
and the Pacific, which is to leave for Liver
pool to-morrow, has $25,000 engaged—making
n total of neatly two millions of dollara tare•
er amount than was. received (ruin California
by the Georgia.
The importations of foreign merchandise at
New York for the month of A puil amounted in
value to *113,339,683, while the exports of do
mestio.and foreign goods and prodlice amount
ed to 51,947,650. With such a balance of
more than five millions against us, hi Me bo

why specie is exported to Europe.—Dailli News

Philadelphia vs. Now York. •
A new Fire Engine, built in Philadelphiaior
the Pacific engine company of Brooklyn, was
tried a few days ago. She played water to a
distance of about 180 feet horizontally, and
subsequently was taken to the front of Jayne's
Building in Chestnut street, below Third. She
played a side stream on the third trial at least
thirty feet above the tower. •The members oi l
;he company were apparently satisfied with
the result. This machine adds another triumph
to Philadelphia artisivis, and proves still more
conclusively the fact that Philadelphia city is
the greatest manufacturing place in the Unite(
States, and in a few years will be able to co l
oci° with New York, and will become ev, t in
the estimation of the Gothamites theme ves,
the greatest city in the Union. Just look over
the liktory of the city for the past year ;.mark
the progress widch has been exhibited in eve
ry science, steam navigation has been opened,
and those of her citizens who were formerly
obliged to go to New York to embark for Eu
rope may now ,be spared that trouble. Public
buildings of every sort have been going up in
heir midst, great improvements have been car
t
vied on, and why may not Philadelphia again
become the metropolis of the United States.

As the Siate•Couvention of South Carolina
• has recommended secession, the question now
arises. When will the leaders consider it prop
er to teal e the They neglected to fix
a day for this important movement, though
-they appear to be firmly fixed in ilteLepinioniliat
secession only can save the sovereignty of the
State. Fortunately for the State itself and the
peace of the Union, the action of the Conven•
sign i+ not conclu&ive of anyildeg except the
traitorous designs of a few who arrogate to
themselves the right to speak the sentiments of
the pi..ople of the indite State. They•have de
cided, with a view, no doubt, to influence the
action of the regular State COM, eidinu, which
the Legislature in its last session authorized to
be held at 801)10 Wore day, not yet designated.
That they truly represent the wishes of a ma
jority of the people of the State, is very ritte.
tionable. The leaders, by their boldness, have
eartied with them an ionnetice which does not
manually belong to them, and of %%filch they
will be divested as soon as the people are cal
led upon to act for themselves. The Southern
Patriot assents cmdidently that a large majmily
of the people of South Carolina are opposed to
secession, and have seemingly acquiesced in
what they supposed to be public opinion. It
adds very forcibly,
They have seen the State gliding on inlo tt
bloody revolution, tt hich they dreaded and ab•
horred, and yet they have stood silently by, or
chinned her in 'her on watd COlll SC to

so. A man us toll, •sees it published in the
newspaper;., and 'lever he ars it doubted, Mat
the whole State is for secession, and he be
lie res it to be his duty to go with his State.—
fit this way a false public opinion is fllttlltllac
timid, and the mist timid and time serving
evince the most bola ntss and eagerness in fol
lowing it. 'The brave and virtuous and phi
otic acquiesce through what they suppose to
be necessity. They regret it. They think they
stard alum!. hi their opinion it would be sense•
loss to throw them selves into the breach, when,
in fact and in truth, if they would express their
opinions, they could soon discover that they
were in a majority, and could save their Stale
and their country from defeat, disaster and
disgrace..'
There is one glievance ill address which is
worthy of particular note, and h.r which the
Constitution provides Ito rented}. The, address
says, in speaking of the designs of the North.
"That end is the abolition - of negm slavery
in the Southern States, and the lowering of the
free white population of the South to the same
,level With Mal agrarian rabble, which, already
strong and dangerous, seems destined before
very long to be the controlling power in the
Northern States. We see no remedy and no
Salety for the South in the present Union."
It seems that a white man in the South, in
the opinion of the Convention, occupies a high
er platloirn than a white roan in the North, ‘vho
is 'arrogantly classed as "agrat hut rabble," but
as the Constitinion makes no dislinelion of this
kind between one white man and another, WO
knave not what remedy can be devised for an
evil so intolerable. 'rids is au evil which we
fear South Carolina will have to endure under
any form of goVeitiinetit:

The Judi o iary
In the civil - conflicts which hate taken plitne .
since the im'proper and wicked agitatinn cirques.
tiona connected with slavery and the rights of
the Sotith by northern agitators and incendiaries
—conflicts which have rocked the' battlements of
the Government and threatened to topple them
in ruins upon our heads—it is with pride and
pleasure that we have witnessed the noble stand
everywhere taken in defence of the Constitution
rind the Laws by the JCPICTAIiT of the country.
Although its action is not frequently brought be
fore the notice of the people, and although the
There of its movements is above and beyond the
region of party, its influence has been potent.—
Men must and will regard with a peculiar degree
of renpect the opinions and judgments of those
into whose hands the scales of justice have been
placed, and who have heretofore held them with
unerring rectitude and undeviating devotion to
truth.
E'crywhere the judges of the United States,
and in many of the States the Stale judges, in
their charges to the grand juries,and in their de•
cisions from the bench, have taken pains to in.
cult:me the most oonservative rrinciples, and to
urge the strictest adherence to the law, in which
is involved the recognitien of our rights. They
have uniformly rebuked the spirit of fanaticism,
and appealed to their common sense and patri,
otism to discountenance agitation. They have
expounded and explained the provisions of the
law, which has been most fiercely assailed, and
showed how consonant they are to the Cor,stitu •
Lion. Their words have been words of wisdom ,
and all their thoughts peace. And all this has
been done with a serenity, a ralinnes%, a firmness,
which carried conviction of their sincerity and
confidence in iheir judgement.
Honor : then, to the judiciary ! May it always
hold,.as it does now, the affections ofihe people,
knit to it by lies of the closest kind
May its
precepts coo rime to be chnished,ana its advice
followed! May the ICSSMIS it teaches be regard•
ed with reverence, and sink deep into the mind
of every citizen who cherishes a wish for the
preservation of our glorious lJnion.—Ledger.

Resolved, That the pt ople of these United

that it was the best, as it was the only way of
disposing of a subject which unbridled fanatics,
reckless demagogues, and bad men had vowed
should be the catering wedge to the Ana: des,
traction of this glorious Confederacy.
Resoled, That in that ,fierce and tryin; con
flict we felt proud to see the true Democratic
Representatives from, Pennsylvania, standing
shoulder to shoulder to support oldie comprom•

fact that Pennsylvania is still true to the ITuion,

where oho was in thi settlement of the Missouri

hope she ever will 'Lie. In seasons of danger and

of the Fugitive Blave Law, which is nothing
more than anaifirtuativeness of the common-law
of the land which secures tO every man the
right to retain his own property, and believe
it to be the duty of every friend of order and of
law to assist in its strict enforcement.
Resolved, Therefore, that we cannot but cmt,

which now polluted cradle let it be exultingly
said : "The infant has risen to strong and pet fect
manhood, formed other alliances, and now looks
down upon its unnatural mother with hatred and
contempt."

it is most imperil Itsly deinamic4, that in the el.

to his.brother Albert and Landis to p , rpetraic
the robbery. Aro r the store had bet n closed, the
two last named found 'easy access by means of
the last key that was made, and when in the
place, they commenced to help themselves to the
most valuable articles in the store. Albert told
Landis where thi• best articles were kept, and re•
quested him to take them. This is about the
whole of the confession, and it was made under
the circumstances of Albert Klein pretending hi
tell the truth, as is alleged by Landis. There
was nut a particle of evidence riaainst ' , mac
Landis, and he was therefore protninly discharg•
ed. The two ICteinc were held fora further hear.
ing..and Abraham Landis was committed. This
is about the most shocking as well as melancho
ly robbery that has occurred in this city for
years. The idea of two sons concocting a scheme
of villiany, to rob their own father, is a matter
we leave. for the reflection of the reader. The
father is one of the ma=t respectable citizens of
the city of Philadelphia, and is a local preacher
in the Methodist Church.—Dui/j Sun, May 10.
The Consequences of Secession.
The following article is from the Greenville,
rS itilh Carolina.' Patriot.
We abandon the Union, and involve oursrlvc•.
in a conflict of arms with the United States. Ev
er)' man capable of bearing arms will have to
abandon his business and repair to the tented i
field. The property of the State would have to
he concnmed 'in taxes or driven out of the State.
Thon.Qands and lens of thousands of our citizen :
would leave the State with their families and
property. Business of every kind woul.il be in•
ter rupted. The present high prosperity and hap.
py condition of South Carolina would vanish.—'
The direct trade to Charleston will be useless ;
no goods Would be imported. The merchants of
that city would have to leave it. Instead of ex
citing• the sympathy of the other Southern States,
we sitould incur their displeasure and hatred.—
Suet) a step on the part of South Carolina is a
tetlection on their patriotism and inteliigenee
They have all, except Mississippi, expressed
'themselves satisfied with the Compromise, if
faithfully carried out. This is doing and has been
done.
Already many of our best citizens are prepar
ing to leave the , sinking ship,' and many others
have expressed a determination to send off their
property it South Carolina does secede. •We
know a gentleman of this place, one of the larg•
est slaveholders, it' not the largest, in the upper
part of South Carolina, who is now preparing to
quit the State, where he has resided fur thirty
years, before our troubles commenced, end lake
up his abode in the upper part of Georgia.—
'net e is a merchant in this town, who has a
branch of his busines3 in Augusta, and who has
always heretofore ordered his shipments to
Charlr'ston, has recently directed them to Savan
nah, in circlet to lu ep clear of our troubles:—
