PHILADELPHIA, Saturday, July 06, 1856.
Philadelphia, in rgard b IN understan6ins s(
nstora al politics and Of local dignity and po~sv. ex.
bibiied toward the South, is DOW where New.Yosh
was (. q years sgo. In word, it 10 essentially
topsh fsced, very respt cable, very conservative,
and deeply sensible about offending "our South
ern bretf rep;" or 10 o'h~r words, In tho msi4
willing to allow those brethren not only the privi
lege Of making laws over fifteen Slave States moro
bsrbaiOus than Russia can show, but going TO
sleep under the violent possession by tho South Of
q Dew territory larger than the original Thirteen
Ststes; ur der the Southern and dough faced threat
to annex Cuba practically; under the new de6.
milton of pow ers OF the Union which, according
to Governor Wise, are chiefly to allow slsvchold-
ers to get 5000 q head for nisgers;" under,
in word. the total revolution and pros
trstion of every manly sentiment and po-
litcal truth which have made 10 naaon.
as for the "favoIite son OF Pebnsylvsn'a"-a
city of that State which owns such SD. might -

disturbed sipce one bright day the sun Of Liberty
wss crsped by one Commissioner IngrsAan. who
only sent the wrong nan inte bondage, a. II any
but wrong man could be cent into chains snd
Slsvery. The internal law still remains, tho Con-
siituttn Of the United States beiOe mostesy.
But somehow or other when people arc G0d-for
sskeb they want to pray, snd 60 the other day this
city, which has conquered its prcjudiecs," does
catch pceerr, does ersb free nggers when Il oan-
not get the genuine runaways. does eat the dft Of
the plantation tbis city has just performed tho fol-
lowing act Of coDtrsion: The Couscis passed .
resolution that in future on the Fourth VI July. tho
May or or somebody else, shall In the presence Of
the citizens, from Independence Hall, reed that
despised old document the Declaration Of Indo-
pepdepce! Think of il, Richard Vaux reading tho
DE- claration Of Independence, aid all Ice old melaa-
cboy y Iic. like phrases OF men being created equal
and indorsed with Oil those glorious old riehts-
the same Mayor who, the other night presideo
over the ratification Of the crime Of crimes, the
Cincinnati Pirstcal Platform, the document which
spplauds broken faith, rapine, murder, dcs0lst0n,
Slavery, aid in the 6ftb of the sdditieaal resolu-
tiobs cries Amen to the biggest idea Of brgsodasc
devised since that which led 10 the partition Of
Poland. Deadly, lively, proper Philadelphia, TO
ask for the reading Of the Declaration Of lndepen-
dence; better ak for the reading Of that passage
fir. M Milton where the devil addrt sses tho sun. and
csllr upon evil to be his good.
The Psnus,lraxism, q Democratic Custom-House
organ Of this city, exhibits this morning, In vsry
paiye manner the same pr0strati0n of d0aghisoery
which b. lopstd to New-YOrk some years bsck,
when The Journal Of Commerce publf he'd tho list

of the peculiar institution This Custom House

To force a man to sell his principles with his
