England, however, puts limit-and our law 10 the

the single circumstance that the Lehigh Company

The Erening Post adheres to its opinion that the
Republican party Of this State was bonn in 1855,
and not in 1e4 as some Republicans have been &C.
eustomed to suppose. This notsn Of The Post
is matter of little conequenee, but we can see in
it no reason for sneeriDg at Mr. Joseph Blunt's
early sdherance to Republican principles as that
journal allows itself to do. Does The Post think
that all persors who embraced RspubEcanism
sooner than Mr.. Weed did are proper subjects for its
contempt Mr.. Jos. Bluntia gentleman whom any
party might be happy to eouut among its support
ers. man of varied and ever ready intellectual
resources, Of uDblemished integrity, and Of moral
courage equal to any emergency we can only wish
that the Republican cause had more men like him.
The country owes him debt Of gratitude, which,
90 far at least as We are concerned, will not soon
be forgotten.

The steady gravity Of Philadelphia renders in.
nocuous to her the conason of excitements such ~
sometimes eectrify our own community. Though
disturbed, and at certain periods even agxsted yet
che wisey turns her back on condolences which,
with very little nursing, might he cultivated into
something exciting. Hence it is she has received
With such eq,nnimity the announcement that the
Delsware Division of the Pennylvania Canal, in-
stead Of being sold to the Lehsh Coal and Naviss-
ton Company, has found purchaser in club Of
private Individuals who Unexpectedly TUNED up
with caah md credit sufficient to secure the bargain
1t is possible hst the incpent agitation ne the
large class interested in this matter may require
stronger sedative than has yet been invoked, in
order to preserve the modified form ii new wears
Let as lock into the facts and tendencies of the
hestisn.
The DelswMe Division is branch OF that great
system Of public improvement which Penns vsuia
undertook some twenty-five years ago. The sys
tenn itself plunged her deeply in debt, and was the
prolific fountain Of corruption Of al kinds among
officers and employees. Every year she was plum.
dered, while the wors themselves, badly built at
hrt were constantly depreciAtns ia value and
efficiency. While thus depreciatips, new avenues
to market were opened By rival companies, and the
general trsi6e oa them was sersibly dininisAins.

The Hon Samuel b. Ruggles-as will be seen
by correspondence herewith publi'hed-has ac-
cepted the appointment Of Canal Commissioner
rendered him by Gov. King, and will enter upon the
discharge of bis official duties next week. Mr.
Rueslss has already proved himself capable and
efficient Commissioner while his early and Jealous
championship of the Enlargement policy will not
be forgotten.
Those who apprehend that the Republicans are
disposed to be narrow and proscrptive are invited
to consider this appointment. There was no man
in the State who opposed us more industriously
more insidiously, We might add moro vindictEely,
in 1856, than Samuel b. Rueges. We presume he
never voted Republican ticket. Yet Gov. King
puzzled by multiplicity of Western candidates
and believing Mr. R. eminently qualified, set them
all asde and appointed him. Such magnsnmity is
at least unusual; for though Mr. r. does not desire
the Office the olive branch rendered BY his appoint
ment is none the less palpsbe.

The Albany atlas has no resource but in mis-
stating us. We have rever held that "all persons
"held in Slavery are TO be treated as wrongfully
" held" and that call persons should rescue them
" from their pretended masters" If we enter
France, We there obey the laws of France, not
withstanding our opinion of Louis Napoleon; and if
We voluntarily set foot in Virginia. We there obey
the laws of Virginia, a. expounded BY her legal
tribunals. We are not the judge of Virsinia-we
have no authority over her treatment Of her own
people within her own borders. Should she ever
empower US to declare authoritatvely the law for
her, We shall doubtless decide that no law can make
man slave. Until she gives US such authority,
our opinion in the premises is Of no moment. But,
as Q citizen OF the United States, we claim right
to interpret the Federal Constitution, so far as it
may affect our own political action and We find in
that document no power given to Congress, nor to
any other body, to establish or uphold Slavery in
the Federal Territories.
1t is false that We are opposed to Popular
Sovereignty" it is true that deny that any two
Slavery, not Popular Sovereignty, that we resist.
If The alias finds any warrant in the Federal Con-
sttution for the existence or establishment Of
Slavery ia the Territories, LET it cite the passage.
If not, it idly seeks TO cover Slavery with the var
nish Of Popular Sovereignty.
As The atlas dare not attempt 10 cOntrovert the
facts by which we elucidsted the position of the
Republicans with regard 10 the Crittenden amend
ment, We need say no more on that head.

Fourteen years ago next November the Free
Traders triumphed-not very fairly-in the elec-
ton of Polk and Dallas and Congress to match.
They carried Pennsylvania by the dodge Of the
Kane letter-by sending out glib-tonsued lawyers
to argue from stump to stump throughout tde
Mnina regions that Polk was better Protectonist
than Clay-by banners inscribed Polk, Dallas and
"As TanF Of 42"-and by other such rather
clever than honest maneuvers-and the momentum
of Pennsylvanis carried closely balanced New
York, and the field was won. The Tariff Of 46 was
tAe &c copsummatiou Of the game; and it was
specially ft that PennsylvaDis Dallas should give
the castipg vote that destined to blow out the
Pennsylvania furnsces, as also that the Polk who
was coolly commended to the miners as better
Protectionst than Clay should both recommend

The Tariff of '46 il now twelve yeArs old, and has

In the Board Of Education last evening Mr. Has
kett, the remarkable gentleman who is gifted with
eryspelas vision, who is at the head Of the faoetous
Board of Excise, and who had the honor some
months sgo to preside over the meeting of Irish
sympstAi1ers with the Sepoys, introduced gag
law for the Free Academy boys. Of course it was
killed. Its introduction, however, gave DIR. Hor
ace Webster, the principal of the Free Academy,
an opportunity to exhibit his characteristic pru-
dence. He was present, and though member,
excused himself, saying that be had nothing to do
with the speeches Of the boys, but that Professor
Barton was alone responsible. DR.. Webster will
probably be allowed to retain his position.

President of tie Bank of Commerce. 1t is unques-
tionably a strorg team, and the purchase has been
shIewdy and quietly put through. They pay
SIS 900 in cash, $40 200 month for ten months,

81 500 900 goes to tie Stste.
But IT has .ince been made apparent that one
wheel bas al this time been working within
another. Everybody expected that the Lehigh
Coal Company would be the purchaser of the Dsls-
ware Division. 1t is their grand outlet to market;
they have been clogged and hampered in all their
operations BY the stupidity and mbeclity Of State
officials; they have sought for yean an opportunity
to purchase; and now, when the long-coyeted work
vss believed to be within their grasp to the aston.

been had, and now the lawyers are called In TO test

An equal sum. We do net mean to impute dishsn-
