Philadelphia, "July 18 1863. Degeneracy of our Government. Our Government, which was once thought to Ik; .strong and the model of human wisdom and perfection, is fast de generating into a kind of vascillating des otism, or no government at all. Hie framers of the Constitution, jealous of ex ecutive power, very wisely made the Go vernment to consist of three branches, the Congress, the Judiciary and the Ex ecutive: but alas for the profligacy of the IvopubUcan party, the Supreme Court has lxH-n set at defiance, and to-day we have self-conceited upstarts, unauthorized and who know no more about law than a "mooly" cow does about a proposition in Euclid, defining and deciding upon the acts of Congress. We havt ref.-ir,,t t ti, .... constitutionality of the conscription act, but what is still worse the courts are not allowed to decide upon it, the opinions of i rovost Marshal. Fry being conclusive. The law in itself is bad enough, but to have its meaning twisted and so construed as to suit the morbid fancies of this Ad ministration, is more than serfs will sub mit to. It is about time this Adminis tration should be made to know, that to tho Judiciary alone belongs the interpreta tion of the laws. One day we have an "order" from this man Fry, defining certain clauses of this act, and the next we have the order revoked and the deci- sion construed to suit the sonn,,,-..,,.,, ., , , l 1 .uu., ovcnooKeu. Jt j ... j-wi-ic ... uii.tuiu 10 make those who . . v..uinu ilii me uuairs oi govem ment, know that they are only servants, subject to the same laws and the Consti tution, the sooner we fall back upon first principles and preserve our State govern ments the better. It is " rule or ruin ' with this Admin istration. Its members seem to be im pressed with the idea that they are the sole judges of all matters of national con cern and that neither Congress, the Su preme Court nor the jwople have any thing to do with them. The apathy with which the people witness these usurpations, will yet result in the most terrible violations of. liberty. TllK L VNGI-VGK OF SlXTY-Ki;ilT MlM- iuj:s of Cong uicss. The following choice extract from the celebrated Ileier book, was endorsed by the votes of sixty-eight Abolition members of Congress! Isit any wonder that our Government and our liberties are gone, when our sworn public servants have violated their oaths and be trayed the confidence of the iople 1 "Freemen of the North we earnestly invite you to organize yourselves as one man under the banners of liberty, and aid us in the extinction of slavery. We think it will be an easy matter, independent of the negroes, who in nine cases out of ten would be delighted to cut their masters throats. We are determined to abolish slavery at all hazards, in defiance of all v.ri.-.,,un 01 whatever nature. Of this the South may take due notice and govern themselves accordingly.' " CT Ltuvyer iMagehan requests us to state, for the benefit of the knave who stole his first volumeof Iilaekstone, that the thief, on application, can have the balance of the work. This seems to us a singular theft, as we cannot see what use the opinions of that great comentator on the English law would be. to any one, unless he were an attorney : but of course lawyers won't steal. (?) It is however most likehy, that the person who committed the theft, was in "pursuit of pleasure under difficulties," and mistook Iilaekstone, for another volume of dissimilar shape, usually kept in the Colonel's library.

Let the people be careful that the schemes of this very destructive element be thwarted. There is in the Republican party a conservative feeling which will side with the Democracy in such a strug gle. It shrinks from the ruin of so many valuable interests to promote the narrow ideas of a feverish fanaticism. It will, as it has already done, dissolve companion ship with its terrible associate, when the extremity of evil is proposed. There are hundreds of public men in the ranks of that party who will not sacrifice -this grand country to appease a set of wild anarch ists, crazed with vicious dogmas. In this hope, and in the coherence of the Democracy, we rely for the safetv of our nation. Draft Suspended rx the llninm,m District. We learn that on the night of the 18th instant some person or persons unknown, by means of a ladder. the back window of the office of the pro vost marshal of Iiradford county, in the town of Troy, and stole therefrom all the books, papers, vouchers, blanks &c, ap pertaming and belonging to the -draft in that Congressional district. It is appro- hended that this robbery will cause a sus pension of the draft in the district for some weeks, as a vast amount of labor must be performed before the papers can again be made ready for drafting. Most of the enrolling officers failed to preserve a copy of the enrolment. The intensely "loyal" county of Brad ford, which gave President Lincoln a ma jority of nYe thousand votes, is the last quarter in which we should expect to see resistance to the draft inaugurated. Are the Abs. getting shaky in the faith? Can't they stand a little draft ? If these outrages had been committed in Berks county or New York city, what a howl against the " Copperheads " would go up from the Abolition camp ! As it is, that which would be treason in Berks is simply an "irregular proceeding" in Bradford. I'atriot and Union. Executive I'ower-i;tniial Vigi lance Accessary to c;uarl Against lis Ciicroaclimenls. Since the establishment of govern ments other than patriarchal among men, the greatest danger to lilxnly has been found in the encroachments of Executive authority. In the language of America's greatest statesman, the contest for ages has been to rescue liberty from the grasp of Executive power. Oil the long list of the Champions of human freedom there is not one name dimmed by the reproach of advocating the extension of Executive authority. On the contrary, the uniform and steady purpose of all such champions has been to limit and retain it. Through all the history of the contest for liberty, Executive power has been regarded as the lion that must le caged. So far from being the oltjt-t of enlightened popular trust so far from being considen-d the natural protection of popular right it has been dreaded as the great object of danger. Our security is our watchfulness of Executive jmwer. It was the constitution of this department wl.i -h was infinitely the" most difficult part in the great work of erecting our Government. To rive to the Executive such jiower as should make it useful, and yet not dangerous cinch-nt, independent, strong, mid yet prevent it .-v.n-j.ii! n;iy cveryilllllir lV US military and civil power, by the influence of patronage and favor thi, indeed, was difficult. They who had the work to do saw this difficulty, and we see it. If we should maintain our svsem, we n .... - " snau act wisely. iy preser in" everv re straint, every guarantee, the Constitution has provided when we and those who come after us, have done all we can do, and all they can do, it wiil be well for ns and them, if the Executive, by the power of patronage and party, shall" not prove an overmatch for all other branches of the Government. We will not aquiesce in the reversal of all just ideas of Govern ment. We will not degrade the charac ter of pop. ilar representation. We will not blindly confide whtn all experience admonishes to Ik- jealous. We will not trust Executive power, vested in a single magistrate, to keep the vigils of liberty. Encroachment must be resisted at every step. Whether the consequence be pre judicial or not, if there be an illegal ex ercise of power it nmst be resisted in the proper manner. We. are not to wait till great mischief comes, till the Govern ment is overthrown, or liberty itself put in extreme jeopardy. We would be un worthy sons of our fathers. .my sons ot our lathers were we so to ard questions affecting freedom.-'.,- reg: triot and Uuion The Disturbances In Xevv York. (From the N. Y. Freeman's Journal.) Ueplonible events occurred in this city last week. Many exaggerations have been published in the daily papers, and still more misrepresentations as to who were the actors in the various scenes. The crowd of laboring men that gathered on Monday, the 13th, expressed no farther intention than to seize the entire enrollino and drafting apparatus, at the different stations, take them into the street and burn them, and thrash any who,' officially or officiously, meddled with them. Their intended tumult had this extent, and no more. Hut it is the misfortunate of all such tumults that I hey depart from their first purposes, and that, in their progress the innocent are more likely to surleAhaii the guilty. We are informed by cool and and dispassionate eye-witnesses that those who sacked and destroyed the negro or phan asylum, were not of the class that lurnea out to resist the draft. They were i.uy dresseu men " with a nibble of half-grown boys of the kind that are always on hand for mischief in New York A large part of the crowd deplored what was done, but being unorganized, they were not able to interfere.
