Last ; .;The-document itself is too long
and.iirtinteresting. for publication in our
is l itn4uas, but with the aid of our cotem
porary IVe Make the following conden
sation ; --Judging by the rather vague
date of the report, it appears to have
been made some time in August, but it
ffeclifirot meet the public eye until the
eleventh of Octiober. As an instance of
exPed . ' ition on the part of the State au
thorities and the State printer, this can
Mistily :V-0 down as extraordinary : for
whatithastalren them about two months
to do accomplished in a few
hours: - Perhaps the delay in the publi-
Odlen of the document would not in
it if sealer much comment if it were
not for what the elder Mr. Weller would
call thery remarkable , coincidence"

in the fact that it appears at last but a
day or two after 4 the State election.
The document is in two parts—the
repOrt and the accompanying evidence
oreffidavits.. While the latter affords
much the broader field for comment we
shall-have to confine our remarks this
pgoring to the prominent features of the
Yeikoit proper. With respect to the op
erations at the Girard House the Com
missioners find no evidences of fraud ;
but that there was a good system of
checks and counter checks, that the
usual precautions of prudent measure
adoided, and that "yet, in spite of all this
thectitubborn fact was presented that the
ri &dollen were in , rags." Great stress is
laid.--upon the allegation that the many
Regimental Quartermasters neglected
their "duties, and the interests of the
00mmonwealth are said to have suffered
tif4iWthsclashing of authimity between

EUROPEANIN INTERVENTION
XEXIOO.
The rumors whichliffive Inien rife for
time,pnat, in lieiation to the inter
ventien t .tit trifnce,rtrigland and Spain
In Late internaiaffalt4of Mexico, are sup•
poied to be about being reeked. This is
last all' 'Surprising, when weiii6ilißider the
crippled condition of our.' unfortunate
neighbor, and the restleis anxiety of the
three powerful nations alluded to,to extend
their power and dominion. It is a little
astonishing, however, to hear that our own
government has consented to this alarming
undertaking. The ; pretext for ; this expedi
tion against Mexico, is to compel her to
pay her debts; but what Interest the Cabi
net in Washington has, in backing up
France, England and Spain, in their de
mands against Mexico for immediate set
tlement, we are at present unable to divine.
On the contrary, there are numerous pow
erful reasons to prevent our government
from interfering in this matter, at all; the
first and beat being that we have quite
enough on hand at present, in suppressing
formidable rebellion at borne, without
joining three other powerful nations in
their demand upon a beggard and degener
ate people. Besides our government may
not be in possession of the actual reasons
which move this undertaking, and it is
not impossible to conceive that the expedi,
tion may be actually intended, eventually
against the United States.
The English government has already
given unmistakable evidence of sympathy
with the Southern rebellion, while the
crafty Emperor of the French has fur.
nished nothing substantial tcrsatisfy us that
be is not similarly inclined. The scarcity
of cotton is growing more serious every
day in itugland, and she may presume a
foothold in Mexico, the most convenient
mode of supplying her demands. Should
our Southern ports remain closed, until
her supply of cotton is exhausted, she will
have little difficulty in obtaining supplies,
should she oncelli her power upon Ideal%
can soil,
The distracted condition of poor Mexico,
is well calculated to attract the cupidity
of Great Britain. Torn and weakened
with intestine commotion; tier people
wearied of civil strife, she is in condition
to fall an easy victim to any superior
power. Her 38513 presents a lamentable
example of a people able to conquer inde
pendence; but unable to retain it after it is
secured. A few years ago, she arose after
centuries of lethargy, and conquered inde
pendence from Castilian power. But
scarce hail she demonstrated her ability to
be free, than she began to exhibit signs of
internal decay. Patriots won her inde
pendence, but party rage and rancor
ruined her hopes; and there she is, today,
the Lazarus of nations, which once prom.
ised to be a mighty Empire. In the pres
ent generation Texas threw off her author
ity, and our Government with a few thou•
sand soldiers, marched in triumph to, and
took possession of her Capitol "and actu
ally revelled in the Halls of the Montezus
mas," Since then she has been growing
weaker with each succeeding political
revolution, until she has degenerated into
anarchy, about to be seized and quartered
by superior power.
Until within a very brief period we
have been accustomed now and then to
hear of our Government's determination
to permit no European power to interfere
with Mexico. The "Monroe doctrine"
was our motto; but now, under the flimsi
est pretext, Mexico is to be partitioned,
and strong monarchical power fixed
upon our Southern border. How happens
it that we hear no Southern denunciation
of this contemplated subjugation of Mexi
co? Have the Southern Commissioners, to
the great powers alluded to, consented to
the arrangement? And after France,
England and Spain have fixed their power
firmly along our Southern coast, is the
Southern rebellion to receive their aid in
establishing its independence? If so, it
had better look sharply in time to its own
existence. Orie thing is 'certain, that is in
the event alluded to, we shall hear of no
more expeditions to secure the annexation
of the border States of Mexico. But what',
ever the motive or understanding is among
these powers, our Government should give
no countenance to a project, which must,
in any event, result disasterously to our.
selves and our popular form of govern-
BLOCKADE OF NEW ORLEANS.
For several days we have rumors from
New Orleans, by the way of Louisville,
informing us of the blockade of New Or
leans by the United States squadron. An
other despatch from tile Crescnt City to the
Richmond Examiner, of the 4th inst., says
that the blockaiding squadron have dug a
passage through the mud of one of the five
mouths of the Mississippi to the land which
commands the whole five of them,and now
have the Vincennes, Water Witch and
two other vessels of the squadron to pro.
tect the erection of batteries which, in less
than a week, will command all the passes
of the the Missiiiippi to the Ocean. This
work will absolutely control the commu
nloation of New Orleans with the sea, and
will do the same service as would twenty
ships.
Mir Now that the bulk of the Republi
can ticket, in this county, is known to be
elected, our cunning little neighbor of the
Dispatch is beginning to throw off its new ,
trality of the past few weeks. It talks
quite smartly in yesterday's paper about

trlelisteri in fenisylVania , Will the Dis.
patch enlighten its readers, where, in
Pennsylvania, this,:powerfal 'pro slavery
feeling has manifested itself, since the elec
tion; or will it.centinit itself, by its refusal
to have itself classed with those "political
tricksters" it professes to ab*r.
We rather suspect that our pions little
abolition cotemporary, (now thatZtir, elec
tion is over, and our political opliclents
generally successful,) wishes. Make,
amends for its three weeks . slience, by? the
usual slang about "promlavery Damon.

readers that it is still sound upon the great: -

Herta Agricultural Socidy, tWatuher
After demonstrating the importance. of Lae
Austrian Monarchy in Oki Ei3r6oean
•cheme, ho treated the Ainerican:difftml•
ties as follows :
"Many of you will remember that when
I took the chair, now, so ably filled, at our
meeting in this town, thine time With me,
as my guest and as yours, Mr. Delles, the
distinguished` DipMinato - Minister& the
then United States of America. You will
remember the sinthufsiame Withwhich he was
deservedly greeted, and the applause that
followed every affectionate allusion to our
Republican kinsfolk, with whom, never. ,
theless, there was at that moment, as there
has been often before, one of those irrita
ting questions in which much was sternly
asked by young Brother Jonathan and
mildly conceded by old John Bull. Well,
we Englishmen respected the giant Repub
lic in its apparent unity and its fancied
strength, and no true Englishman will be
mean enough to exult in the pangs of its
separation and the horrors of its civil war.
But even then, when Mr. Dallas was our
guest, I never conceived, nor do I under
' stand how any farathinking statesman could
'conceive, that a fourth part of the earth
could long be held under one imperial form
of government. That separation between
North and South America which is now
being brought about by civil war I have
long foreseen and foretold to be in.
evitable ; ' and I venture to predict
,that the younger men here present
, will live to see not two, but at least
four, and probably more than four separate
and sovereign commonwealths arising out
of those populations which a year ago united
their Legislature under onit.Preeident, and
carried their merchandise under a fling's,
flag. And so far from thinking that these
separations will be injurious to the future
destinies of America, or inflict a blow on
that grand principle of self government in
which the substance of liberty consists, I
believe that such separations will be ate
tended with happy results to the safety of
Europe and the development of American
civilization. If it could have been possible
that, as population and wealth inereased,
all the vast continent of America, with her
mighty seaboard, and the fleets which her
increasing ambition,as well as her extending
commerce would have formed and armed,
could have remained under one form of
government, in which the Executive has
little or no control over a populace exceed
ingly adventurous and excitable, why then
America would have hung over Europe
like a gathering and destructive thunder
cloud Nu single kingdom in Europe could
have been strong enough to maintain itself
against a nation that bad once consolidated
the gigantic resources of a quarter of
the , globe.. And this unwieldy extent of
empire would have been as fatal to the
permanent safety and development of
America herself as the experience of all
history tells us, an empire too vastto main
tain the healthy circulation of its own
lifeblood ever has boon since the world
began, to the races over which it sprawl
By their own weight the old colossal em,.
pires of the East fell to rule. It was by
her own vast extent of dominion that
Rome first lost her liberties, under the very
armies which that extent of dominion nom
pill led her to maintain, and finally rendered
up her dominion itself to the revenge
of the barbarians she bad invaded.—
The immense monarchy founded by the
ganiUS of Charlemagne fell to pieces
soon after his death, and those pieces are
now the Kingdoms of Europe. But neither
the empires of the East, nor the common
wealth of Remo, nor the monarchy of
Charlemagne could compare in extent and
resources with the continent of America;
and you will remember that the United
States claimed a right to the whole of that
continent, and the ultimate fate of Ameri
ca under une feeble Executive—the feeblest
Executive. perhaps, ever known in a civ
ilized community—would have been no
exception to the truths of history and the
laws cf nature. But in proportion as
America shall become eqbdivided into dif
ferent. States, each of vitt ieb is large enough
for greatness—larger than a European k in g •
dom—her ambition will be less formidable
to the rest of the world, and 1 do not doubt
that the action of emulation and rivalry
between one Free State and another,
speaking the same language and enjoying
that educated culture whin inspires an af
fection for all that enlightens and exalts
humanity, will produce the same effects
upon art and commerce, and the improve..
ments in practical government, which the
same kind of competition produced in the
old commonwealth of Greece. Heaven
grant that my convictions may not be ere
roneous. lam not, then, one of thosewho
say that the impending separation of the
American States proves the failure of her
experiment of Democracy. Any other
form of Government would have equally
failed in keeping together sections of a
community so geographically cast with in,
tenses antagonistic to each other. Butthis
I may say, that when we see liberty and
law alike suspended in the moment of
danger, printing presses destroyed by an
unresisted mob, or the opinions of public
writers stifled by a Democratic Govern
ment—when we see an American President
so bewildered by his own Armies, or so
despairing of the skill of his own Generals,
that he offers to the Italian Garibaldi the
command of American patriots—l think,
without vanity, we may say that in those
arts of good government which can pre
serve freedom in the hour of danger, and
enable a nation to right itself by the brains
and hearts of its awn children, America
has more to learn from England than
England has to learn from America. Let
us, then, turn our oyes back to our own
country, humbly grateful for the blessings
we enjoy, and manfully resolved to defend
and maintain them.
BLAIR'S CI:IA.110E8 AOALNET FREMONT
—According to military law, it is neces
sary that charged brought by subordinate
officers before the War Department, should
be presented by their commander-in-chief.
Thus Colonel Blair was compelled to make
General Fremont. himself .the medium of
communicating his recent charges to the
government. The latter disposed of the
whole matter by quietly putting the docus
ment in his pocket, and making off with it
in the direction of Lexington. This ex
plains why the Secretary of war has not
received any official notice yet respecting
this important matter.
Even the Secretary's visit to St. Louis
will hardly avail in this particular, unless
he follows Fremont up, in his rapid
marches in pursuit of the rebel cheiftEdrui.

Waged rather wildly about by the waves
ofikropean and American politics. 'As
-131.1 e rolls eastward shnAlows her disor
dered decks to Russia and Austria; as
her stern sinks ih the trough, France
and Italy see Lilo halei in her bows; and
when she plunges again" westwar the
Americans notice that many of her best
boats are stove and her stAering appar
atus dismantled. In other words, this
imperious, island is in danger of a con
tinental war, arising out of continental
interests over which she exercises little
or no control. England cannot keep
the peace if she would. It depends up
on the Emperor of France alone. She
is already reduced in his calculations to
the rank of a second-Tato power, and she
fears him and watches him as-a mouse
in its hole may be supposed to watch the
oak Now and then she ventures upon
a timid remonstrance, as in the case of
Lord Russell's remarks, so full of Dutch
courage on the threatened annexation
of Sardinia; but she does nothing. A
periodical indignation seizes the entire
kingdom when anybody shouts out rath
-1 er louder than usual, "A French in
vasion."
The maritime force of England is the
only point. in which, as a military pow
er, she is strong. On land she is weak
compared with many of the smaller
states of Europe. Strange as it may ap
pear, the state of New York has more
enrolled militia than England has reg
ulars and volunteers. The latter has,
in fact, nothing but her colonies to make
her formidable, and she sustains her ex
travagant aristocracy only by the sweat
of her poor colliers, her wasted and half.
starved cotton spinners, and the taps
rooms at which the great beer drinkers
pay the shot for the benefit of the gov
ernment. At one time she is on the
brink of ruin for the want of cotton; and
at another for the want of bread.
England this day has no foreign pol
icy. She cannot carry a single point
against Napoleon or Victor EmanneL
Italy and France, if they now combine,
area match for all Europe; and they will
not care a jot for Lord Palmerston. The
British ship of state is floating about un
able to shape its own course. Its rud
der-pin is gone, and a very shabby con
trivance temporarily supplies its place.
We all remember with what glorifica
tion the Great Eastern was launched in
t..) what John Bull esteems to be hie
"native element." It was the very au
dacity of the scheme on which he prided
himself. The engineer, who had made
a poor and valueless tunnel under the
Thames, planned a monster to affright
the seas. But the sea has not been in
the least frightened. It has seen steam
ers before, unsurpassable in speed and
elegance of model, and clipper ships
that flew like the wind, designed, built
and set afloat by a young nation which
could not boast that its flag had braved
a thousand years the battle and the
breeze. It has now shown its power
over the biggest ship and the biggest
brags which England ever sent forth.
The Great Eastern is a sacrifice to Nep
tune—"only that, and nothing more."
Let her fate teach these British to draw
their fins and;lower their:pressure when
they are steering towards the United
States, whose ruin they so complacently
anticipated. Let them make sure that
their own craft is staunch and able to
breast the gale, before they attack ours.
Let them get a new rudder-pin to their
ship of state—one that will hold; and if
they rule the waves, as they pretend, why
let them "rule them a little straighter."
