THE ELECTIoN-THE UNION.

The American people are like none other under
the sun. They enter zealously, even fercely, into
political contests, and alter they over fraternze
at once as a band Of brothers. The bitterness Of
party strife, and the heart-burnings which it en-
genlers are forgotten, aud the unpleasant feelings
which for time estranged neighbors and sometimes
households, pass of as the election returns come in,
and AL acquiesce in the decision Of the sovereign
millOns.
Some Of the Fathers of the Republic entertained
very serious fears Of the effect OF heated political
coni,sts on the duration Of the Union. Experience
has shown that the love Of union survives the most
desperate conflicts of opinion unshorn Of its strength.
Ii i not likely that the country will be agitated by
election contests more savage and relentless in their
fury ,lan those which il has heretofore witnessed
and is safe therefore to conclude that glorious
UnioI will not be wrecked and engulphed by the
ocean currents OF political strife. On the question
of Union its blessings and its benefits, the people
of all parties agree, and, il the day ever come in
which the ark Of freedom shall be in danger, men
of all parties lorgetfu of their differences and aspe
rites will rush like band Of brothers to its rescue.
Let peril TO our Union come from whatever quarter
it may, the people will rise in their majesty and
disarm il of its terrors. Treason TO the Union is
the only sentiment which can never be tolerated,
and there is no country on the face Of the earth in
which an effort TO revolutonize the Government
would be so utterly harmless as here.-Cleu. Her.

Mr.. WEBSTER delivered the opening lecture be.
fore the Mercantile Library Association of Boston
on Tuesday night. The .ffias thus speaks of it.
justly remarking, at the outset that, since Guizot
left the Historical chair of the University OF France
so distinguished statesman as Mr.. WEBSTER has
rarely, if ever, appeared as public lecturer before
any literary association"
MI. WEBSTER had selected for his subject q the
Formation and Early History of the Federal Con-
sttuton''-a subject upon which it is necessarily
very difficult to interest mixed audience but which
was treated by him with his usual ability. He be-
gan by speaking Of the relative Of the Eng
lish Revolution of l640 and our own Revolution of
l775, and then passed TO consideration Of the
state Of affairs in this country under the Continen-
tai Congress the declaration Of peace. He clear
ly portrayed the depressed state of business, the
involved condition Of the finances, and the general
feebleness and incapacity Of the General Govern
ment-quite unable, as it was, TO coerce the sepa-
rate States.
"From the necessity Of having stronger Gov
eminent, and Of raising a sufficient revenue, by
means of an equal tariff Of duties for all the States,
TO pay the expenses of the war, arose the present
Government, withits hreefold divisions Of powers
executive, Legislative, and Judicial. Mr.. WEBSTER
then spoke of the difficulties attending its forma-
ton, growing out Of the jealousy Of the several
States and closed with a noble eulogy its
founders, and an enthusiastic tribute 10 its own adj
mrable arrangement of privileges and restraints"

HoME DEPARTMENT.-The increase in the po-
pulaon and territorial extent of this country since
the establishment Of the Government has naturally
produced a corresponding increase in the public
business. An Organization Of Departments and
bureaus, at the seat Of Government, which might
have answered very well for the first Administra-
ton and for several succeeding Administrations,
might be very inadequate to the wants and require
ments Of the present day. And such is the fact.
Secretary for the home department and Sc
cretary for foreign affairs are to be found in the
cabinet OF every constitutional government except
our own. No two ministers could have functions
more essentially distinct than these; yet our State
Department combines them both, and our Secretary
OF State is domestic and foreign Secretary at
once.
The Treasury Department is also much over
loaded. The business Of that department has got
to be vast, and often intricate and complicated from
variety of details.
A Home Department properly organized, would
take portion Of the duties, now oppressive, from
both the State and the Treasury Departments
With this relief there would be far more efficiency
in each. The objection Of expense. # that should
be urged is too nconsiderable to deserve notice.
Instead of an increased expense, indeed, the add-
ton of new Department might be the means Of
saving more 10 the Government than all the expen-
ditures necessary to organize and sustain it.
