The Day.

Our national jubilee dawned upon US under
circumstances that may well call forth our
grateful acknowledgements to the Providence
that has made us 4 prosperous, happy, and
UNITED PEOPLE.
For this, our fortunate condition, we are
largely indebted to the wise and liberal policy
of the present Federal Administration. This
policy has paralyzed the fanaticism of isclion
in the various phases it has assumed in differ
ent sections of the country, and has brought up
our two great parties to a common standard of
patriotism and nationality.
If we may avert the evils which flow from
local prejudices and anlipathies if we can cu-
ton for the UNION, rather than corner or a
fragment of ii, the blessings we enjoy may be
perpetualed through unborn and unnumbered
generations.
This day is set apart for the celebration of
the declaration Of our independence. 1t is the
real anniversary of another event in our history
that at this time cannot fail to be remembered.
1t was on the fifth of July, l8l4--nearly forty
years ago-that the youthful and gallant SCorr,
covered the arms his country with glory at the
battle of CHIPPEWA. Brigadier General
Scorr," wrote his commanding officer on that
occasion in his official report, "is entitled to the
highest praise our country can bestow." In the
long interval which has elapsed, he has been ac-
cumulating new titles to the 'highest praise" of
his country, till his fellow citizens regard them
as furnishing sufficient passport to his
country's highest honors. AS We pledge then
the memories of those who signed the charter
of our independence. let US not forget to blend
with them the health Of him who has rendered
annals.

The Census Returns.

If the report presented to the Senate by the
select committee appointed to revise the plan
proposed for the publication of the Census re-
turns be adopted, we may expect to see the
work reduced from colossal TO very nconsidera.
BILE dimensions. The labors of the committee
were confined to the returns for the State of
Maryland and the result of their investigation
is recommendation to discard about four fifths
of the whole work as too unreliable to receive
the formal sanction of Congress.
To some portions Of the publication the com
mittee object, Oh the ground that they are not
embraced in the authority entrusted by the act
of Congress. The historical and geological
sketches of the State, and the tables of vital
statistics, are cassed in this category. To
each, however, other objections are urged, main
ly in relation to their alleged inaccuracy. The
historical chapter is designated as "a compiIa-
ton made by a single individual from cor
respondence with unknown persons, selected
at his discretion, and digesed in too short
period to render its accuracy probable" To
the geological account it is objected that Ia
| work of SO scientific a character in order to
be worthy Of the nation, should be prepared
by persons of established reputation as geolo-
glsts, with sufficient time for the thorough
and accurate performance of this duty" The
objections TO the vital statistics are more mi
mute and specific. The classification of causes
Of mortality has none Of the precision that is
essential to practical value; the technical terms
employed are in many instances so loose that a
medical reader could only guess at the charac-
ter of the disease indicated; and in other cases
the ratio Of deaths to Births or to the aggregate
population, is, as the committee remark, appar-
emily incredible. The use of the terms, "dar-
rhG,, "dysentery," and diseases oTthe bow
els" may be taken as an example of the force
Of one portion of the objection; while another is
illustrated by the fact that the births in Queen
Anne's county are set down at 800, with 50
deaths in one year, and in Dorchester county,
births 40, deaths 8. The difference is incred-
BILE, except upon the supposition Of the preva-
lence Of fatal maIady in one case from which
the other was exempted; but as in both coun-
ties consumption appears as the prevalent

Democratic HarmO s.ies.

We devote a considerable space in our col
umns this morning to an editorial article from
the Southern Press, and to letter from Mr..
JOHN FoRsrTH, of Georgia, leader in the
ranks of the Secessionists and Fire-eaters. These
documents will be read with no little interest,
as illustrative of the existing harmonies in the
DEMOCRATIC party, and as throwing light on
the circumstances of General PIERCE's nomi-
nation.
1t appears tina, Mr.. SouLE, who was one Of
the Democratic committee to wait upon Gene
raj PIERCE with the intelligence of his nomi-
nation, has been seeking to secure the printing
of the Senate to the Southern Press, in spite
of a contract which has been made by the Joint
Committee on Printing with another establish
ment. His sympathy with secession seems to
have led the honorable Senator into little
sansculottlsm on this occasion.
Our readers will also learn from Mr.. FoRsYrH
that the Democratic ticket is the " CREATION
AND CHOICE" of the Secession wing of the
Democracy. This is matter of too much in
teres. to be despatched in the space that we can
give to it this morning. We are inclined
to think it is literally correct. This fact
explains the enthusiasm of Mr. ORg, of
South Carolina in behalf of General PIERCE,
and the seeming cooness of the conserva-
tive branch of the Democracy. We are Gu
rious to see how our Compromise friends of
the Union will treat this revelation of Mr.
FORSYTH. From the devotion which they
manifest towards one side of the Compromise,
we are inclined to think that they have no OBJ
lection to the "CREATIoN AND CHOICE Of the
Secessonsts. We shall see, however.

rude huts Of piouecr backwoodsmen. The heart Of

her new lie, and is now manifested in the freedom
and geniality with which she pourtraysihc changes
of herself and family from ease to wretobcdnees,
and from tat again to comparative comfort. We
recommend her sketches to the attention Of gentle
folk of both sexes who desire TO have the romance

that General ScoTT's phraseclogy is far too spe-

disease, this mode of reconcilng the dspro-
portion is not available. The truth is, that the
collection and classification Of the causes of
mortality calls for the incest discrimination,
and can only be performed satisfactorily by
thoroughly scientific men. II is no imPutation
on their character to say that assistant marshals
are not the persons to be entrusted with the
collection of this class of facts. Apart from
the statements on which the Senate committee
have founded their opinion, it would not be
difficult to show the utter unreliableness of the
mortality columns that have already appeared
in the recapitulation of the returns of the re-
spective States. AS criteria of the relative
salubrty of different States, those returns are
worse than worthless. They indicate results
on which no person acquainted with vital stat
istcs can for moment rely.
All these branches of the publication, then,
the Senate committee propose to strike out.
They propose also to omit large number of
other tables as useless, and others, again, as
obviously incorrect. The industrial estab-
lishments" of the State, covering "a pages, are
included in the latter. The committee in their
report dwell upon what they term the grossly
defective" character of this interesting class of
returns. Amongst other discrepancies that are
dwelt upon are several in which the value Of
the annual products of establishments is stated
at less than the combined cost of raw material
and labor. Thus in the seventeenth ward of
Baltimore the value of the raw material
consumed in certain manufactures is re-
turned as $4,000; annual cost of labor,
$l5,24O amounting together to $27 ,2lO ;
whilst the value of the annual products is
said to be $22, l0O--making an annual loss
in the process of manufacturing of $5,l4O.
The tables of wages, pauperism, and crime,
are noticed in succession, and being pronounced
"palpably Inaccurate" are included in the mat
ter prescribed by the committee.
The committee remark, in conclusion, that
in no case ''have they been governed by the
Question of expense in the reductions they
have recommended, though the cost Of publ
cation of mass of useless or erroneous mat.
ter ought not to be disregarded."
