TIE Latest Movements in the Country.
Mr.. SANKEY'S remarkable speech yesterday will
not surprise those who have noticed Mr.. Foote's
reply to Mr. Calhoun II belongs to the same
political category. IL is part aad parcel Of the
attempt at the gradual absorption of political
capital for future purposes. This would be clearly
understood, if 1t were fixed fact, as yet it may
be, that Mr. Webster will take higher Southern
ground than many Southern men, for in that
event, the prospects of Mr.. Webster for a national
honor would be neither small nor unimportant.
DIsunion would seem to be taking an active
shape in the State of Massachusetts, but it is only
in the shape of active petitions. One-thlrd of the
Senate were in favor of laying the petitions on the
table The folly Of certain classes of New Eng
land people is past comprehension. The school
master is, by all accounts, too far abroad in that
region.
At Pittsburgh, serious disturbances are antici-
pated, and call, will be seen by the teegraphlc
despatch, has been made upon the Governor for
the arms In the United States arsenal. The ques-
ton of wages is the origin of this movement.
At Albany, as the Legislative report shows, the
subject of banking has been receiving some eluci-
dation by the discussions of the day; and the
alleged canal frauds are now to be investigated by
an impartial committee.

FLooeINo IN 1ur NAvY-THE RECENT MExr-
ING AT ms TArrRSAciE.-The recent crowded
meeting dsnouncing and holding up to public detes
tation the practice of hoggng in the Navy, was a
very remarkable one Of tie kind. If we reflect upon
the startling Developments made by some Of the
speakers. The descriptions given by the sailor,
Watson G.. Haynes, Of the scenes on board the
ilLiated Somers, few years ago, which resulted
in the execution Ct poor Spencer, were, we have
been Informed, the most thrilling, graphic and
ttrrbe, that have ever been heard in the Taber-
nacle. The actors in those awful scenes-those
who were so unIus,ly executed, as well as those
Who perpeua,ed the executon-are now. we be-
lieve, gone to another world, and will have to
account for their deeds elsewhere. The reooIlec-
ton Of those scenes. and the excitement growing
on, of the trials to which they gave rise. can never
be CELEBRATED from the minds OF those who LIS
tened n end heard them.
Another curious statement OF another Of the
speakers. affected TO remarkable extent the repu-
tation ior benevolence which hitherto dlstin-
Ruished character and divine Of Philadelphia has
maintained before the public. We certainly are in
favor Of discipline, both in the Army and IN the
Navy-in civil and social lifs-when founded on
right principles, and directed to humane purposes.
But !, must be admitted that the present state Of
discipline N the Navy is anything but creditable
