They have seen how it' may . eompletely clog the wheels of the gov ernment in preventing the consumma ting of measures essential to the de volopment of their best interests, as il lustrated in the factious opposition to the Mexican and Nicaragua treaties. The friends of the Constitution have gloriously triumphed over its enemies in Rhode hlapd, and have almost as good—quito so, as fur as the result in November is involved—as carried Con necticut ; while the municipal elections in Now York, Wisconsin, Ohio, Maine, and elsewhere, furnish satisfactory evi dence that we have much to hope for the redemption of each orthoir r eatatos. All that we require for the achieve ment of a more glonous victory in No vember than that of 1856; is perfect union in our ranks. This we arc sure of. We shall have as harmonious dud energetic a party, as soon as the de liberations of the Charleston Conven tion terminate, as ever at any time ex hibited itself in the mighty Democracy of this country. All conservative men agFce that it is a paramount duty to annihilate Black republicanism, and annihilate it so ef fectually that it can never again raise its monstrous head. While it has oven a quasi existence, patriots can enjoy no repose, the country indulge in no an ticipations of a brilliant future. Greatly Disappointed 1 The Abolitionists boasted thnt they would carry Connecticut by 5,000, and are greatly disappointed to find their tnajority"wbittled down to almost noth ing." The following catract is from the Hartford Press before the election: "If we carry Connecticut for Repub licanism by the usual majority, we shall onlydo what is expected of us elsewhere. Shouldwe be defeated, the result would be most discouraging throughout the whole country. Let us, then, increase our aurjority to 5,000 or 10,000, and send a thrill of joy thfoughout the Republi can army. We have a State ticket, a - Malted States Senator, erght Sheriffs, and perhaps a Judge of the Superior. Court, to elect." The Ilartford Courant said : "If Ilackingham does not receive more than 0,000 majority on the first Wesley Ail' April we shall be greatly disappointed." And yet the Star folks claim their 500 majority in Connecticut as a "glori ous" victory ! The Opposition will soon be, if they are not already, in a condition to be very "thankful for small favors."

In Rhode Is land, even their candidate for Governor, SETH PAIDLEFOILD, an Abolitionist of the regular Jou!: IlaowN stamp, appears to be implicated in direct bribery. and an At [vinyl. to disfranchise over 400 voters. The facts are specific, and not of a character to be passed lightly by. They show the desperate means resorted to by this Pharisaical party of "all the morality," (?) to save themselves from iff rx eending defeat at the bands of the 10. The Providence Pest makes the charge ili§tinet and positive, as fol lows ; In Rhode Island a registry tax of 81 has to be paid annually, and its pay ment certified before a man can vote.— The Democrats in Cranston became sus picious that the colleens of these taxes for that town had bean bought with A bo. lition money to delay 'the issue of the certificr.tes until after the expiration of the legal tine, and thus disfranchise hundreds of voters who would vote for Sprague : The receipts were therefore insisted upon, and to guard against fail ure the Town Clerk was reipiested to be present, that he might receive-the money if the Collector should fail to perform his whole duty. Neatly five hundred dollars were paid, apd between three and four hundred voters were qualified. It is now ascertained, by the Collector's, own extorted confession, that the feats of the Democrats were not without cause. Ile admits that 11r. Padleford lame,' employed him to "do what be could," and paid him 1200 down, and 4'promised him any amount of theft, liC'shotild need." When the proof acxsurnulated, and the thing became a certainty, the Democrats charged bin with the perfidy, arid with conniving in tho infamous scheme to cheat four hundred voters out of their privilege—and he dared not deny it, but &tilted the above disgraceful facts. It xtromely gratifying to know that this party of 'Bribery and Corruption have boon soundly MAXIS in Rhode Island. • . ' Thos. J. Steely, of Tyler coauty,Va., having been appointed Elector for that county by the Opposition State Cooren lion, has written a letter to the Wheeling Union, Aleelining to act in that capacity. He states that while lie Las great respect for the ability and pa triotiam of many of time* who compoa• ed that Convection, yet be must dissent from the means proposed to avert the political crisis which is rapidly ipproach iug. He concludes by saying that he feels bound to give all the influence which he may have to the support of the Democratic party. In the last Valley Sentinel, Joseph W. Holt, Esq., of Craig county, also dc. clines the boner conferred upon him aa Qppoaitign Elector for that county. Ile says • "It has lons been mxi opinion that the Democratic party is the only true national party in existence, and to it alone we can safely look for the salva tion of our priceless heritage. My hon e pinion is that the Whig party has since forfeited its claim to be con sidered a fiationni party, from the eager ness it has exhibited to coalesce with any movernen,t looking to the defeat of the Democratic party, without any re gard to the ultimate and final tendency of such movement." . ler The Stato of Connecticut has spo ken very loud on the right side.

Heretofore the Republi cans have exhibited great glee at the rich placer a fraud which the commit tee promised to turn up to the indignant. gaze of the public. Judge, then, of our 88ton:shutout when jest at the time that the committee reached the case of Pennsylvania, and summoned before it Augustus Sellell, of New York, to pro duce a list of the contributors in New York to the fund raised in 1866 to as sist the Democracy in carrying Penn sylevia, the Tribune cbanges its tone, and protests against the further pursuit of the inquiry into this branch of the subject. For once the Tributie takes a sound view of the ease, anci we ettnnot refrain from re-publisbing its article. It says: "itIMIT AGAINST PILEROGATIVY.—The Ilouse Committee of Investigation, whereof Mr. Covode, of Pennsylvania, is Chairman, insists, we learn, that Mr. Augustus Schell, of this city, shall pro duce and deliver a list in his possession of contributors in tide city to the fund raised hero to carry PentisVvania for Buchanan. at the October election of 1856. The Committee, it is'understood, propose to invokb the power of the 'Louse to coerce Mr. Schell to produce the paper demanded. if they do this, we trust. the house will pause and con sider well before taking the action re quired. Ik. Schell, though now Collec tor of this Port, was a private tiitizen in 1856 ; those who contributed the money he' raised fur the Pennsylvania canvass were likewise mainly private citizens. It, is not even in evidence that the money was used improperly, thoegh we presume a good part of tt was; there is of course no shadow of proof' that It, was contributed by public:officer - 4, or that it came, however eiretiffonsly, out of. the Federal Treasury.

If the object is to fish out evi dence on which to base a prosecution, we object that the mode is illegal, un constitutional, and the whole procedure fraught with danger to the rights of every citizen. We speak thus freely, because the subject is of tho gravest importance, while our relation to the parties in con flict enables 'WS to do so without expo sure to misapprehension. Mr. Schell nr.d his contributors are our political adversaries; the Committee 11110 are prossing.tbem to the wall are our cal friends. But right is tight, and this procedure seems to us quite another thing. It is an attempt to make party capital by an abuse of power—a dange rous stretch of a doubtful preroestive. Si Tho fact miy as well be stated, that this whole business of developing politi cal scandal by legislative investigations has already boon about rtei into the ground. intelligent, fair-minded men are growing sick of it. , In so fur as pub lic functionaries and °aid recipients of public money aro required to give an ac coent of their deal:ngs with the Treasu ry, we uphold the claim to the fullest extent. Even this muy be abused ; but it is a salutary, conservative power, aim! we rejoice in seeing it foutrlessly,evarch ingly exercised. But dragging private citizens, or those who were private citizens when the acts as to which quest is made were committed, before Investigating Committees, to be cate chised in sec L, cinder circumstances which secure them no protection against insult, noragainst the most inquisitorial and impertinent peering and pr)ing into their prirate concerns, will not an swer.

The fact is just this ; the Taws* elan arc alarm ed least the investigutioning be exten ded to the Republican side oho Rouse, and resultin disclosing to the world how much money was contributed in New York for the purpose of cr trying Penn sylvania for Fremont—how much was disbursed under the derection of Tom Ford, lately elected printer of the House, to buy up venal Fillmore presses and politicians. More is the rub. Mr. John Covodo has got into deep water, and is likely to plunge his fiends into very hot water. Tho possible conse quences of this business begin to make their hearts palpitate with apprehen sion and the committee is implored not to pursue this private matter any fur ther. Although fear that the machinery of this Investigating Committee may re turn to plague its inventors is at the bottom of the Tribune't protest, we agree with it that this is an attempt to make party capital by an abuse of pi:4er ;" and this is true not only with reference to the inquiry under conside ration, but also in reference to the whole scope of the proposed investigation.— The President demonstrated in his man ly protest that it was a gross, abuse of power to arraign him before a tribunal unknown to the Constitution, and to make •faia accusers his judges. We call particular attention to the remarkable adtnisaitna of the Tnettne i is sentence : "If the object is to fis out evidence on which to base a prosecution, we object that the mode is illegal, unconatitiooal, and the whole prooednre fraught with danger to the rights of every citizen." - Now, apply this doctrihe to tho cage of the Presi dent, and why may we not say, in near ly the same language, if the object is to fish out syi4spm on which to base an inipesehment of the fliaident, the mode is Merl, Kfteiliiiligitioll4 thi who peotteigetiVreitgkiwith clangor le thelfghta of the &maim: right. of the erv. •--Acwrir PrespOnt. of titto Unitetl States, under the Conetitotipn, are certainly not frills nor to the rights of private ettizens.--r Harrisburg Patriot.

In response to wineh the Constitution remarks, an investigation into the A mount of money raised by the Black Republicans, in 1856, to carry elections, would exactly be parallel to the inves tigation now going on in the Tlaskin committee, and such an investigation is equally dumandod by the country.

X. lan Lure liothinirisa. The seltatked "People's Party" held a mass meet y ing in Philadelphia on the 17th ult., to -ratify the nominatkos of - Andrew G. Curtin for Governor, which. was made nearly a month before. This meeting was not liko the spontaneous expression of popular satisfaction and joy thatgreeted the nomination of Henry D. Foster, immediately upon its announcement, in Philadelphia, and elsewhilto throughout the State. It was an afterthought, prompted by the immense arid enthusiastic Ratification Meeting held by the Democracy, two weeksprevious, and called upon the spur of necessity, in the hope of coun teracting the evident effect which that; Meeting had upon the. publio mind. By dint of great puffing and blowing, and the promised presence of "Andy Curtin" himself, ' , Torn Corwin," and other great guns of the Opposition, ; crowd was gathered. The first speaker was the lion. David Taggart, or "Dave Taggart," us his party friends familiar. ly call him, ono of the defeated competi, tors of Col. Curtin for the nomination of the Harrisburg Convention. Now, Dave is an invBterate joker—he pridca himself upon the faculty ho possesses for making a jest of every thing and any thing; and would rather say 4 funny thing than a wise thing, at any time. The indulgence of this propensa ty often leads him into down-ri ht garity, and oven to cast ridicule upon sacred things; but no matter—Dave Leif/ are his joke, cost what it may.---17 Well, when Mr. Taggart stood up to speak, something funny was expected of Lim, of course; so, after a few pro. liminary apologetic remarks, bo oast about for a subject. Suddenly remem bering that the 17th of Mareb was St. Patrick's igy, ho bethought him that it would be aWhappy comoitionee"--as the reporters say—to level one of his Rho oil shafts at the Irish citizens. So, af, tor briefly eulogizing Henry Clay, and asserting that "bo never would have been' defeated had it not been for the ill-advised and deceived liordes•that were precipitated upon us from across the ocean," he undertook to bo fanny after the following fashion. We quote from the report of his speech, in the Inquirer : I only allude to that portion of tbom that do not eat meat on Fridays, (laughter and applar-se,) and have nut. been long °slough in tho country to knol° that tho modern Democracy of these United States of America meant only- freedom for trade, and not foe , /non. I suppose some of you have heard of the mistake the Democrats of` - Indiana made two or three years ago, when they fixed a barbecue fora Fri day. " W hat do you mane," says a big Democrat from Irel•ind, "by roast ing beef on a day when two-thirds of' the Democrats damn% eat meat ?"--. However, two-thirds were willing to lose their share of the meal for The sake of the loaves and fishes." - This vulgar attempt to make fan- at the Irish, and to cast ri.cule upon Oil Roman Catholic's conscientious obeerv., once of the diScipline which his chart:ft enjoins in.rogard to food, was received —so the papers inform us—"with ter and applause." We copy .it, mere. ly to show that the narrow, bigoted, and intolerant spirit of Know Nothing. ism, which would degrade the foreign• born citizen below the level of the Ilea gro,'ahti proscribe men on neepunt Df their peculiar Yoligious faith and Firaa tiro, is still alive in the so-culled Repub. 'lean or People's party which has taker.% the place of the bark Lantern organi. zation. They have been `latterly deavoring to gain the favor of adopted citizens, by hypocritical professieus of regard for their interests; but they must be blind indeed, if they cannot two, under the Black Remulilicuti.cloak, the cloven-foot of Know Nothingism, in all the hideous deformity that, it dia. played a few years ago. The Pottsville Journal consldered the Philadelphia Ratification Meeting of sufficient iinportuuce to aclnsuid the publication of"ihikproceedinge in qift tra sheet.

After all the boasting of the &lading Journal and other Black Republitsan, prints, that their party is the only on* that can be relied on to favor a modift• cation of the Tariff, it is coming out that the most serious opposition to this measure will be encountered from thq Republican side of the house. A luta dispatch to the Philadelphia PresB,, says " The friends of Morrill's tariff bill will Le compelled to amend the 12th, 18th, 14th, and 15th sections of that ' bill, of may lose the rotes of the wool len manufacturers. This cannot be toq quickly attended to.
