stopping the Supplies

limitations have been thrown out in the
House of Representatives of stopping the APP
preparation bills unless certain things are done
in connection with Kansas. In a monarchy
like Great Britain a state of things might pro-
badly arise in which such an extreme measure
would be advisable or proper; but it is hardly
possible to conceive of a contingency which
would justify such revolutionary step in n
Government constituted as is that Of the United
States, and under the system Of such frequent
recurrence to the ballot-box, that effective and
constitutional remedy for political misnlanage-
ment or other political evils.
But have those who talk so hippantly OF
defeating the appropriation bills ever reflected
on the consequences of such ultra and uniustG.
able proceedingP IL it is ever successfully at.
tempted in this country it is to be hoped The
Executive, whoever he may be, when it takes
place, will allow the consequences to follow TO
the bitter end without any attempt to check or
palate them. Let him pay off and lay up every
ship.ofwa disband the army, stop every public
work, close every navy yard and public armory,

Of every kind, either for the military, naval, or
civil service, and allow the gold to accumulate
in the subtreasury.
Any one at all acquainted with the course of
trade and the business, both commercial and
financial, of the nation, may form some idea of
the result upon the community, without any
distinction as to station profession, or trade.
The mere accumulation Of coin in the subtrea-
sury, without any corresponding disbursements,
would in less than three months break every
bank between Washington and Eastport, bat
not before those institutions, in efforts to save
themselves by rapid curtalments, had spread
ruin and bankruptcy throughout the financial
and commercial community, under the pressure
and the general distress which would ensue.
The immense mass of stocks of every descrip.
ton that is held in the country would be depre-

further extent, and oil species Of both foreign

which the Wings generally could not join, their
principles being on many points antagonistic.
Exclusive, however, of this voluntary sepa
ration by Mr. Fillmore from his Wing friends,
it was apparent as the MONDAY sun that of
the three parties Mr. Fillmore could not get a
plurality; in fact, to most minds it was equally
clear that Mr.. Fillmore could not get single
State North or South. The late elections tend
to fasten this conviction on every mind.
The Democratic party has always had a
majority of Southern States, and generally in
Pennsylvania, while, under present circum-
stances, it must be inevitable that the united
South would, for the purpose of defeating Re-
publicanism, present an unbroken front, and
that there was every reasonable probability
that the remaining electoral votes in the North
would be had for the Democratic nominee.
The important interests depending upon the
result of this election should not be jeoparded.
The Wings prefer Democratic Executive
for four years to a Republican triumph.
These are the only alternatives offered to
Wings, and yet the American is so forgetful OF
Southern rights, Of Southern interests, and Of
the true duty of Wings and patriots, as to be
willing to leopard all in hopeless contest.
If success with Mr.. Fillmore could be de.
monstrated or rendered reasonably probable,
these gentlemen might have found it proper to
follow their preference for Mr.. Fillmore, who is
allowed to be by Democrats as by Wings hos,
tile to the Republican principle and disposed
to act national part. The Democratic party
have no war to wage against Mr.. Fillmore; it
would be friends with all who avow national
principles and equality among the States; but
the Wings who support the Democratic nomi-
nation, do so from perfect conviction that it
is the only mode of arresting the rule of Black
Repubcansm. Can better reason be given
for any thing than such reason as this. Can
the An,ericam give one, half so just for the
course it pursues.

port Of Buchanan and Breckenridge. These
gatherings are numerous beyond all precedent.
On Saturday last, monster mass meeting
was held in Bucks county, at the farm of Col.
Morrison, called by himself at his own house !;
and gentleman present says it looked more
like great agricultural fair than political
meeting. Two thousand persons were present,
enjoying the generous Inequalities of Col. Nor
rison, and the fine speaking of Hon. w. II.
White and George A. Coffee, Esq, of this city,
and Judge Bebee, editor Of that unsurpassed
State campaign paper, the Banner of Liberty,
published at Middletown, New York. The en-.
thusiasm was boundless. COL Morrison lives
near the Northampton line, and our friend
brings glorious news from that empire county
On Saturday evening, another great meeting
was held at Morgan's Corner, Delaware county.
An immense concourse was present. Among
those present were number of national Wings,
and the mechanics were then in force. Geo.
w. Palmer, Esq, made a capital speech
Meetings are called for this week in other
parts Of The State. All our intelligence is good.

The spasms OF the Ism..

Not long ago everything, in this State at
least, depended upon not paying rent. The
Tribune and Albany Eoening Journal were
full, and over full, about the PATRONS, g large
Estates" &C.; and great parties in this State
were organized on "Anti.Rent." "Big Thun-
der" was great man. Seward sent messages
to the Legislature about him and it. There
was the Helderburgh War, &c. Att that hum
bug passed over, and now we have as the can
didate of the Anti-Rent party "Patroon I"
with thirty square leagues of land in the Mari
posa grant, valued at over million Of dollars,
and some hundreds or thousands of squatters
upon 1T, from whom this PATRON claims rent.
Put pin there and read on.
Only year ago everything depended upon
"Rum," and "No Rum" A great anti-rum
party was organized, and it took in every body
sound on Antirum, doughface and niger driver,
as well as niger worshipper The world, we
were told, was coming to an end if we drank
any more rum. We were called to sacrifice
slavery and ant.slavery. tariff and anti-tarff,
Pope and anti Pope, for all anti-rum. Brother
Greeley told us there was not an issue on earth
he cared so much about as this about rum 1t
made Clark Governor and resent Seward to the
United States Senate. Stick pin there.
Now this year the hobby is the negro. There
is nothing SO importal a. the negro. Rent and
ant-rent are forgotten. Even rum is nothing.
We may sell rum by the hogshead, and vote
for sum drinkers just as much as we please, if
we are only sound for Fremont and the negro.
Liquor law" is dead ant-rent is dead Only
be sound on Mariposa!
We have nothing to say to all this reader.
Think Of it. Ask your neighbors about it.
Hobbies and horses are only Seward yearlngs,
and they are not kept long enough to look at
them, before one is pitched out to take in
another. The "negro" will last only this
year. Next, we may be called upon to be veg
etarians, and if we are only sound on "cab-
bage" and SQUASH" then no matter what we
think of the negro Z" Meat or no meat" may
be the rallying cry for political campaign.
Who can foreell what is coming, looking back
upon what is past?-N. 7. Express.

ism, in the ranks of the Democracy, would be
lost to the national standard in single handed
contest between FILLMORE and Fremont.
1t is thus obvious, that not only is an advo-
cacy a written advocacy of Mr.. BUCHANAN, by
the South, the only hope of the Union as pro-
lection to the South, but the idea OF combining
the national vote upon Fremont, even if desira.
bic, is utterly impractcable.
The South, which has ever been Democratic,
then supports the Democratic candidates, not
as sectional, but as constitution loving men.
Her reasons are brief.
= !. They maintain State equality, and a faith
full adherence to the stipulations of the Con-
stitution.
2 They present the only rallying point for
national men to beat down the enemies of our
peace and of the Constitution.
8. They combine elements, which once dis
solved, can never be reunited upon the basis
of defensive alliance with the South in main
tanning the principles of the Union of our
Fathers
The South will not support Fillmore-be.
cause
/. He nor his friends do maintain State
equality, but have denounced it as Pandora's
box OF evils to the country-nor have they
been consistent in adhering to the stipulations
of the compact.
z. They present no hope Of accomplishing
the defeat of the enemies of the Union
3. They do not present now, nor can here
after, the nucleus for conservative elements to
combine in resistance of fanaticism and trea
son.
The South oppose Fremont and his clan
Because, in assailing her rights, they destroy
the Constitution, the bond, the only bond OF
our Union. His election and the triumph OF
his principles, must in overthrowing the Con-
stitution, put an end to the Union.
National men North and South! We are
one-friendly united-in a common cause
the cause Of our country! Let no divisions be
created. The North and the South through
you will be, as they now are, one and insepara-
BILE. Let national men in the Northern States
especially remember, that they constitute the
last bond of Union The South cannot live in
peace, and if not in peace, will not longer live
in nominal union with her enemies. She looks
to you. With you she will unite with earnest,
hearty communion. Stand frm-be true to
the bond of our common Union, and all will
be well. Fater, and yield, and hope is lost in
the terrors Of disunion!

Cooperation OF the Wife.

No man ever prospered in the world without
the CO operation of his wife. If she unites in
mutual endeavors, or rewards his labors with
an endearing smile, with what confidence will
he resort to his merchandise or his farm, fly
over lands sail upon seas, meet difficulty, and
encounter danger, if he knows he is not spend
ing his strength in vain, but that his labor will
be rewarded by the sweets at homei Solici-
tude and disappointment enter the history OF
every mans life, and he is but half provided
for this voyage who finds but an associate for
happy hours, while for his months of darkness
and distress, no sympathizing partner is pre-
pared.

Prcntice's Opinion OF Hon John G. Breck-
tnrfdge.

We ascribe nothing Of corruption or dis.
honor to Mr.. Breckenridge himself We believe
him to be conscientious and honorable as well
as most able man. We have been half afraid.
during the canvass, to express fully our opinion
OF him, lest our Wing friends in his district and
elsewhere might deem it untrue TO the interests
of our party. Paragraphs written by us some
months ago in relation to Mr.. Breckenridge
have been kept at the heads Of his newspaper
organs throughout the conflict, and we can, and
do emphatically re-assert every word Of those
paragraphs. Mr.. Breckenridge is a pure and
noble hearted man and liberal minded politi
clan, be has earned and won at home and at
Washington as high reputation for talent as
belongs to any man of his age in the United
States. We do not know of any gentleman we
would rather see in Congress, and, If he lived
in Locofoco district for instance, Linn Boyd's,
we should sincerely rejoice in his election.
THE Hon John c. Breckenridge in n letter
to his constituents, declines reelection 10
Congress. He will be much missed in that
body. His great urbanty his perfect fairness.
and his powerful talent made him one of its
master spirits. He has national reputation.
and nobly has he won it."
