THE ARMY AND NAVY.

Every day brings us more and more evidence that
proposal to cut down our small military force is the
most unpopular of the many unpopular things at
tempted by the present Congress. There is no mis-
taking the national feeling upon this subject. We
do not believe that under present circumstances any
material increase of the army or navy would be toll
Grated. Nobody asks this nobody expects it. We
all opposed TO large standing army or to an un-
necessarily expensive navy But there is a fair and
proper scale upon which these establishments should
be kept and we believe that almost the universal
sentiment of the people is that they now about
what they ought to be We must in the nature of
things, heretofore pointed out, have agood deal
of work for small army and navy even in time of
peace; and should the world become again involved
in hostlities, shall find forces none too large
for neucleus around which TO gather our strength
There should be no actlous party feeling upon this
subject 1t demands and enlarged liberal view of
the great interests of our whole country. II eXamn-
ed in such spirit, do not believe that IL viii be
consider ed necessary expedent to vary materially
in any way our present military and naval establish

Iu bot h branches Of the Legislative Department OF
Government the Presidents enemies have a control
ling power; and what can he do against their deter
mined opposition. There Is, il seems to me, only one
correct course for him TO pursue and that Is to sdnd
firmly by his republican principies-recommend such
measures only as his deliberate judgment, the beat
interests of the country may to require; and let
those who choose take the responsibility of going
against them. faclious opposition will not long be
tolerated The People have too much discernmenl
not to discover and too strong sense of justice not to
rebuke policy purely selfish and anti patriotic and
if the President occupies the impregnable ground OF
RIGHT, those who oppose him, must, of necessity take
up indefensible position, and every effort 10 main
tain it will only render their situation exposed
and defenceess. 1t would be treason to doubt the
result of such contest. Already is the public mind
rapidly awaking to the true condition of things at
Washington.
1t has been made reproach TO the President that
he is "without party !" Passing over the charge,
which is undeservng single grave remark, 1t may
with truth be asserted that he entertains opinions, on
most OF the important questions OF national poilcy IN
accordance with vast majority OF his ellowcilzens.
He is antl-Bank are majority Of the People lie

lands while the Treasury is empty so are the Peo-

strctive system is anti-socal and of foreign origin
Were il not for England, the whole jealous system OF
self protection would be exploded one unworthy OF
civilization, and in conflict with all liberal and en-
lghtened sentiments But she prefers to adhere to II

From the ". Y. Courte' y. Enquirer.
The President seems to have thought better Of his
threats Of turning of Office all those not favoraby
disposed to himself. He has failed thus far to
prosecute his attempt on The Custom House in Phia-
delphia. Did not say that he dared not carry into
execution his threatened schemes of vengeance
The President never threatened to turn out
all not favorably disposed to himself. He never
threatened any schemes of vengeance. But he
resolved TO do JUSTICE, and it will be done
Whether he dare perform his duty or no, will
be seen Whether he will change his mind or
no, after it is his determination to dismiss an
unworthy officer, be he high or low, in the fear
OF ultra Wing vengeance, is by no means de-
cided by the above haunting paragraph.

slow action is confessedly not TO be found In the
slnggishness of the committees, but in the tor
pidity Of the House.
What is the cause Of the inactivity MI
Morris has given what he deems to be the true
one, but because his views are not very palatable
to certain party leaders and aspiranls-his rec
ttude and modesty cannot save him from de-
nunciaton-and he hardly escapes the complete
disagreement of accommodation.
!, the King, am the Government, says TO-
reign Autocrat, and we the leaders who obtain
all the benefits of success in party conflicts.
are the party, say Whig demagogues, in
free America. Who will submit to the dcta-
toni Mr.. Morris, for one, it appears will not.
He will adhere TO party, and vote with party,
as long as its principles and measures are such
as his conscience will approve He is not
singular. No man of intelligence, indepen-
dence, and honesty, will suffer himself 10 be
metamorphosed from member of party into
serfof its leaders. AS long as leaders assume
the tone of inerrancy, and endeavor to centralze
not only the power but the opinions OF the party
within their own narrow crcle--lhey must anti
cipate the resistance of recusants An Auto
crat or an aristocracy may arrogate the govern
ment of party for time, but the authority OF
either must necessarily, in free country, be al
ways short-lived. When party has ceased to
enjoy distinct existence as party, and is mar
rowed into the support of few file-leaders, we
naturally expect speedy disruption between
the priyaIes and the commander.
The period is rapidly approaching when the
great ultra leaders, whose aspirations are now
SO strong, will be left to Bentonise and Man
gumise without any interruption Of their solitary
schemes.

GUILLoTINING THE HON. MIR. NORRIS

The letter Of Mr.. Morris appears to have ex-
cited immensely the wrath of the ultra party
men. They are excessively indignant that any
imp tation should be cast on party spirit or par
ties in general, or the party in particular. They
bubble round and round the letter, to force its
language into meaning to suit their own pur-
poses, and then assail their own Interpretation
with labored ingenuity of paralogism and acri-
mony of abuse not emitting to administer a
dose of yuperation, so diluted that its bitterness
is neutrazed though its other qualities are left
unaltered
We have no acquaintance with Mr.. Morris,
and have no idea of becoming his apologist.-
Our notice has been attracted by the extreme
sensitiveness exhibited by some gentlemen,
when the wisdom and expedirncy of any act
sanctioned by party, or by the party, are call
ed in question-or when any one is found so
presumptuous as TO suspect that any measure
might have been adopted not from the simple
motive of benefting the country, but for the
purpose Of subscribing party ends Doubt but
in single point-no matter how trivial-the ex-
cellence of what it does or ordains-refuse but
once obedience to party dictation. and you are
Immediately dismissed from its pale. Could
there be more convincing proof OF the tight
ness with which certain leaders wish to draw
party bonds, than the alarm produced by the
letter Of Mr.. Morrs2
We have read the letter attentively, and we
cannot, with all the elucidation furnished BY
the comments which it has elected, discover
any thing in it so exceedingly exceptonable.-
Congress has been more than six months in a
session, during period of difficulty and distress
demanding its legislation. The People, in ev-
cry section of the country, are becoming impa-
tent at its prolonged inactivity. During six
months almost nothing has b en- done. For the
effect there must be a cause. No one will pre-
tend to assert that the members Of the impor-
tant committees have not exhibited sufficient
industry. More bills have been reported than
the House can act on within three years, at the
present rate Of movement The cause of the
