FROM PHILADELPHIA.
From Our Special Correspondent


PHILADELPHIA. Tuesday. July p, 1856.
TIE speech Of Mr.. j. r. Tyson, member OF the
Second Philadelphia District, on the Expulsion Of
Brooke deserves dissemination for the clear, law
yer.like, searching view II presents Of the powers
and PrecedeUts Of Congress m regard to such
casea. The habitual looseness Of Southern state
ments-the want of accurate reading-which Mr..
surner complained Of and established ia his
speech ia proved in an equal degree in another
way BY Mr.. Tyson. The qualifications for great
man in States where frightfui proportion Of the
white pOpuston can neither read nor write, and
whore chatel, vote at the rate Individually Of
thIee-ff hs Of . whole map, are so different from
those demanded in the regions of common schools
and no human chattsls, that the most spurious
thing is Southern reputation for lore and learn
ing. WitbMt Washington for an sle-
waited ground of national display, the great
men of tie South would be county politicians
But as the South have manned and stuffed the
Committees for the last sixty years, State papers
and reports which will not hold water lumber
Congressional documents. Mr. Tyson leaves moth
ing standing of Southern argument in favor of re-
leasing Brooks on the grouDd of want Of juris
diction. AS matters promise now, the South,
true to the clublaw, will repeat acts OF violence.
In word the bsrbarism Of plantatOn.life ex-
hibittd in Washington, 50 far from ending is.jus
msnifestiDg itself more poiutedly, and its sharp
ness will grow with the desperation of the oil
garchic cause. As for Mr.. Tysons condemna
tiOn of Mr. Summers style, and his acceptatiOn o
the Fugitive Slave law-that is the sort of Phil
adephia doctrine which has stimulated the South
to its present uncomfortable ruffanism in the Ter
ritories and in Congress
An argument against Buchanan is, that whore
be- is best known, there will be the largest ma
jO,ity against lin. Lancaster County will, ac.
cordpg to present appearances, leave him some
thousands in the minority. In AccOmac County,
Virginia (Wises) doubtless the sage Of Wheatland
will come out with q majority warranted by the
unsurpassed ignorance Of the locality. In this
city there have been few Old Line Wings Of
Dote who have gone over to Buchanan. How they
can reconcile that twist with their old Clayism,
surpasses anal ysis. They ignore utterly the votes
given by Buchanan On the demand made by Mr.
Clay for an investigation into the Kremer charge
of bargain, sae and corruption indorsed by
Buchanan, in a letter published under bis sigua-
ture. buchanan attempted then to dodge the
reference to Select Committee by motion to
adjourn which was negatived. Then he voted for
an indefinite pOstponement. Then he voted
against the original motion of Mr. Forsy tn for ref
carried. 125 TO 60. Will Mr.. Buchanan publish q
copy of the letter it is believed he wrote to Mr..
Clay, appealing to the latters nObler qualities for
forgiveness. Mr.. Clay had q very curious letter
from bim. VIII the Old-Line Wings help US to a
little light Oh this sectional business, when Penn.
sylvania, as usual. WAS doing the dirty sectional
work of the South against the National Henry
Clay2 Come, let us have light on that subject
Will Mr.. Buchanan, or Dir. Buchanan's new
friends publish that letter
The great battle for the Presidency is to be
fought in this State. Are the Republicans of
New. York and New-England fully aware of the
fact, and adequately sensible of the necessity OF
striking great blow in Philadelphia and Eastern
Pennsylvania A few citizens here are giving mon
ey to distribute documents and to my knowledge
about half their time to the cause. One whose
name will never appear gave $1,000; another
hardly less. Others who are not politicians, and
look for no Office, take upon themselves the oner-
GUS responsibility Of correspondence and con-
ferences. But this State has been long handed
over to sham DemOcracy-it has fled the van ON
all national questions where the Slave Oigarch de-
graded the laborer--it gave Dallas to throw the
casting vote az Vice President on the British
Free Trade Tariff Of lSi6-it afforded Buchanan
to affirm that Polk was better Tariff man than
Clay-it paraded On its sham Democratic banners
east, west and center Polk, Dallas, and the Ia
riff of 1872" the wire-pullers knowing the whole
TO be swindle-it presented the world with the
Polk-K Kane letter-it lent posterity aCommissiouer
Ingrabam-it has kept itself politically in posi-
tiOn as weak ard mean as its natural advantages
and acquired resources strong and noble:-all
this being historical verify, BeOan darkness must
vet be penetrated and scattered before triumph
can be achieved But with proper effort, and it
is the opinion of the soberest observers that the
Republican cause may be made to succeed In
Rennsy lvania, and hence in the country
The Investigations proceeding before the
Coroner, as to the late railroad slaughter; we
shall have light on the causes, general and special
OF this unequalled railroad disaster. Why do not
the papers, one and oil, insist on having general
Railroad Convention, to prepare body of techni-
cal rules for universal adoption which the leglsa'
tures should render obligatory
Amusements here are at discount with the
world out Of town. Crowds are rushing to Cape
May The verdure of the country is miseraby
parched; and all nature appears gaspins for rain.
