BaF 4 gang Of regdies, well dressed
and holding respectable positions in soc-
Ietg, undertook, few evenings since, to
get up riot at the Cooper Institute in
New York, for the purpose of breaking
up meeting held to raise money to pro,
vide for the family of John Brown. Quite
a number Of them had lodgings IN the
Station houses al night, in reward of their
endeavors. Et Is remarkable that north
ern men, who are greatly shocked at John
Browns violation of law, are ready to
trample on law to put down the express
sion of all opinions which are contrary to
their own. They want law for themselves,
and for those who think as they do, and
rotten eggs and tar and feathers for et-
cry body else. They are the meanest
vagabonds that ever set up for conser7a-
tive gentlemen. We have a few of this
sort of thinkers here; but they have nev-
er found expression because they have
not sufficient backbone to back up their
ideas of free speech. They talk "woB
derfully" at times.

BG% The cars on the Western epd OF
the Sunbury & Rrie r. r. are now fnu-
hing regularly between Erie and Warren,
and the event was duly celebrated on the
18th inst, in che usual manner, by the
citizens of Erie and Warren. The Mail
publishes a full report of the affair, from
which we arc led to infer that fhey had a
grand time at toasting, speechifying and
champagne drinking, g,-the latter feature,
however, was strongly rebuked by Rev.
G. L. Hequenbourg, in his speech. We
hepe the balance of the road will soon be
ready fef Ike general celebration-mi-
aas the drunk. 1t is reported that Mr..
Moorehead, who went to Europe in Nov,
has been successful in raising the 49,
100000 which will be necessary to COM
pIete the middle division and that the
work, which has been suspended for a
short time will be resumed in the Spring
1t is thought that the cars will run from

PRESHDENT'S MESSAGE.

THURSDAY MORNING.-Just as We
are ready TO 60 TO press, We have receiv-
ed copy of the Tuesday EOen'g Tribune,
second edition, containing Che President S
Message 1t occupies nearly seven col
umns of the TribHne, equal to about eight
of the ordinary setting of that paper. We
give an abstract of the heads treated.
After the usual opening, it briefly dis
cusses the Harper's Ferry raid after the
manner of Mrs. Glundy, the gist of which
is, that the Virginians were badly scared
and the North must not scare them any
more. The country is next briefly con
graduated upon the hoppy(D results Of
the Dred Scott decision. The subject of
re0pening the african Slave trade is then
treated to about a column Of deprecatory
notice, in which he argues that the great
est objection is that it would conflict with
the christiani:ing system of Slavery at
home.
The Chinese and Paraguay treaties arc
then discussed the possessing of Cuba
mere strongly urged than before; San
Juan affairs lengthlly discussed; Mexi-
can affairs more so a territorial govern
ment recommended for Arizona; Near
agGa and Costa Rica briefly referred to !;
granting the President conditional power
70 declare war without the pre-sanetion of
Congress urgently argued afirmatively F.;
postal deficiencies reviewed the build
ing fthe Pacific Railroad by private cor
poration is again decidedly recommended; !;
national economy , is urged, as are al
so, increased appropriations; and fnan-
cial affairs discussed at length.
Though the Kansas Constitution has
been delivered to the President by the
messenger cf the Convention, and Con-
gresham Conway requested the Presi-
dent to send it in with his message, no
reference to the subject is made by him.
There is evidently niger in the wood
piles" and on the whole, We CLEAN that
the documeDt is written more with view
TO consideration at Charleston than at
Washington.
