The Detdwdrs Gazette of yesterday contains
the following
SouyD SESTIMESTs.-We find, in report OF
the proceedings Of the Keystone Club, Of hill
adelphia, held on Monday evening" the 9th
inst, the following remarks from Lewis G.. Cas-
sidy, Esq, In support of the resolutions:
Mr.. Cassidy denounced in strong terms the
interference of Congress in this slavery ques-
ton. IL was a matter that alone concerned the
people of Territory, and they should them
selves arrange it, What mattered il to us OF
Pennsylvania whether Kansas wasa slave State
OF a free State. II we adopt the doctrine of
allowing the people to manage their own affairs
We would recur to old Democratic principles
as affirmed at Baltimore and re -aifirmed at Gin
cinnpti-the doctrine Of Popular sovereignty
the pure and simple Cincinnati platform In
concluding Mr.. g. made an appeal to the mem
bers' of the Club TO go into the contest for
Mayor with will, feeling assured, as he did,
that ID would only foreshadow victory 10 the
State aud nation.
The above are the sentiments OF Douglas and
every snti-Lecompton Democrat in the coun-
tFy, aud are the very opposite Of the doctrines
taught in Buchauans message The truth will
come out now and then.

Evans, Philadelphia. This is 4 Book ~ l'cpu-
lar Songs, containing choice selection Of the
best songs, ballads, ETC., in popular use. We
notice in II the national songs of all nations,
sopgs OF sentiment and affection, military and
naval songs gems from the operas, &c. In fact
the volume appears TO be receptacle of the
choicest morceaus Of melody one hears from
day to day, and is certainly the happest thing
of the kind yet published.
For holiday volume for a thoughtful and.
spirited boy, no better book can be found than
W. II. q. Kingston's new work, Ernes, Brace
briags, a Story Of School Days, just published by
Messrs. Ticknor 4 Fields, Boston. The author
shares popularity with Capt. Maync Reid, and
is well known Tor his admirable stories of
"peter the Whaler," Mark Seaworthy," aud
other Christmas stories. We need not say that
his book is spirited and entertaining, nor that
II will be welcomed by the young folks at this
season. II is finely embcllished with sixteen
full page illustrations.
The same publishers issue an attractive vol
ume, SELF Heip, with illustrations of character
and conduct, by Samuel Smalles author of.the
Life of George Stephenson. The plan of this
Interesting work embraces various chapters
drawn from different walks and aims in life,
each pursuit or condition being fully ilustra-
ted by the prominent characters, who by their
oSn seli-will and energy have raised not only
themselves but their profession or pursuit to
cminencc. Some hundreds Of the worlds great
spirits are thus illustrated, and their charac-
tiers and industry held up for example. A no.
bier work for every day pernsal has not lately
been published
No book of the season requires fewer words
ofintroducton from the critic to the reader than

tile in suggestion, and apt In illustration, en-
bracng wide range of topics, and shedding
on all the light Of genial humor, sound phi
losophy, and II true poetic instinct, these pa

All readers will wish to add to their libraries
a volume which marks SO distinctive feature
in American literature. For genial humorist
always commend US to the professor II.

RsS- The Southern Opposition and indepen-
dent newspapers are beginning to speak ont
boldly against the disunion clamors. The Rich
mond (va.) Nears, for example, says that If
either Wise or Hunter can see the way TO a
nomination for the Presidency, we will hear no
more threats of disunion and that no man Of
any sense believes that such an event as the
dissolution of the Union is likely to happen.
Says the Ners:
:" lie who processes TO have deliberately
weighed the consequences TO Virginia alone of
dissolution Of this Constitution-vewed even
in its consequences to Virginia, and her slave
property, and her other material interests
processes to desire disunion, is a conceited sim
pleton, or an empty blockhead, or something
worse than either.
"0f all the States Of this Union, IL is demon-
strable, even TO her slave interests that there
is no State in this Union that would gain so
little and endure SO much by disunion as this
glorious old State. Calm, deliberate, pains
taking and informed reflection, will satisfy any
impartial mind thet npon the theories-we
mean the commercial, and financial, and man.
ufacturing theories of that school who advo-
cate disunion-yirginia would find no place.
have no interest, and possess no voice in a
purely Southern confederacy."

THE MEssAGE.-we do know whether Mr.,
Buchanan is an octogenarian and wether he has
taken no account otwhathas transpired during
the last twenty years or not, but il certainly
appears that such must be the case. He sends
his message to Philadelphia, but fails to send
il to the capital Of his own State, so that IL APP
pears as if he is getting too old to understand
the relative political Importance Of localities.

In the view that the employment of other
than peaceful means might become necessary
to obtain '.just satisfaction from Paraguay, a
strong naval force was concentrated in the
waters of the La Plata to await contingencies,
whilst our commissioner assembled the rivers
to Assumption. The Navy Department is en-
titled to great credit for the promptness, suIfi-
cheney, and economy with which this cxpedi-
ton was fitted out and conducted. 1t consis-
ted of nineteen armed vessels, great and small,
carrying 200 guns and 1000 men, ali under
the command of the veteran and gallant Shu-
brick. The entire expenses of the expedition
have been betrayed out of the ordinary appro-
priations for the naval service, except the sum
,of$2so,Oo0, applied to the purchase of seven
of the steamers, constituting part of il, under
the authority of the naval appropriation act of
the Sd March last. 1t is believed that these
steamers are worth more than their cost, and
they are all now usefully and actively employ
ed In the naval service.
Delaware inquirer. (Wilmington, Del.) 1859-18??, 1859-12-31

The appearance Of so large force, fitted
out In such a prompt manner, in the far dis
tant waters of the La Plata and the admira-
bic conduct of the officers and men employed
in ii, have had happy effect In favor OF our
country throughout all that remote portion of
the world

firmly believe that the events at IIarper's
Ferry by causing the people to pause and re-
fleet upon the possible peril to their cherished
institutions, will be the means, under Provi-
dencc, of allaying the existing excitement, and
preventing future outbreaks of similar char
acter. They will resolve that the Constitution
and the Union shall not be endangered by rash
counsels, knowing that, should ''the silver
cord be loosed or the golden bowl be broken

never rcunfte the scattered and hostii frag-
ments.

would again express most decided opin-
ion in favor of the construction of Pacific
Railroad for the reasons stated in my two last
annual messages. When reflect upon what
would be the dctenceless condition of our States
and Territories west Of the Rocky mountains in
case of war with naval power sufficiently
strong TO interrupt all intercourse with them
by the routes across the lsthu.us, | am still
more convinced than ever Of tho vast impor-
tanre Of this railroad

In conclusion, would again commend to the
just liherality of Congress the local interests of
the District of Columbia. Surely the city bear
ing the name of Washington, and destined,
trust for ages to be the capital OF our united,
free, and prosperous Confederacy, has strong
claims on our favorable regard.
