The New York Courier, alluding indignant
ly to the expulsion of John G. Fee, and 9th
efs, from Madison County, Kentucky, very for
cibly remarks:
SIS there record in any civilized country,
Of any such outrage as this? Ii paraleled
by any act of oppression in Austria or Hunga-
ry? But dsgusted and outraged as We are by
this whole proceeding, the Southern Press is
necessary for the preservation Of the institu-
tion Of slavery IN the siayeholding States.
And yet with this admission, they cody ask US
to permit slavery to be extended into the Ter
ritor;es. OF course the sole object in going
there, is to make the Territories slave States.
And what then? Why slavery can only be
protected in slave States precisely as it
is now protected 10 the existing slave States.
That is By furnishing With tar and feathers ev-
cry man who dare express feeling in opposi-
tod to it, and driving him from the State; and
by sending forth whole communities who do
not happen to consider slavery religious in
stitution, and blessing to all who partake of
it."
The plain matter of fact is that the slave
power not only demands that all the Southern
region, of mild and genial climate and rich
soil, shall be entirely given up to the control
of the institution which thus crushes our or
tramples down all freedom of utterance or
even of thought, but insists that the Northern
majority shall not only permit, but has no
right to prevent its going into all unorganiSed
territory. Is it not SO,

WHO ARE THE TRAITORS /,

1t will be observed by the proceedings 10
U. s. Senate, that the Democrats have formal
ly endorsed The position taken by Gov. Wise
and Mr.. Falkner, that the election of Re-
publican President would justify 'sthe seizure
of Harper's Ferry Arl-ory' and armed resls-
tanee to the Federal Government. ibis they
have done by confirming Mr.. Faulkner as Nun
ister to France The issue was distinctly made,
and several Democratic Senators made speech
es sustaining Mr. Faulkner's views and de-
claring their concurrence in them. We are
pratlGed to see that the Republicans were all
on the side of Union, Law aud Order. HERE
after, let it be remembered that tue democrats
have recorded themselves in favor OF commit

hung, and in favor OF armed resistance to the
will of The majority constitulioualiy expressed

EXTRAORDINARY DAYS WORK. One of

two hundred and twenty-five horse shoes! Of

void, in order TO get chance to buysi at q
tiihe of its value. Nor did | ever falsely pre-
tend to children similarly situated that had
valid tax title to the land left by their IA

are practices, tricks, to which never descend

Ranger, Gov Reynolds, have well said of me

THE LATE DRowSrNGs AT THE WATERING
PrAcEs.-witbin the past few days II has been
our painful duty to record the death Of four
Of our favorite watering places-two at Long
Branch and two at Shrewsbury. 1t is very
we'll known that the whole New Jersey coast,
from Sandy Hook to Cape May, is the most
dangerous watering place on the continent;
the ground is continually shifting there, and
where at one time bathers found safe foot.
hold, at another they are liable to plunge into
a hole over their heads. Then there IL always
a strong and treacherous undertow, which rem.
ders the beach always unsafe, especially for
ladies. And yet, although these facts are pa
tent TO every one, the hotel keepers in that
region are too parsimonious to provide any
means to avert danger, or TO afford chance Of
rescue in case Of accident, for which they de-
serve to be severely denounced.
The safest bathing place in the vicinity of
New York is Coney Island. There the ground
is firm and even, the slope gradual and there
is little or no undertow; Jet here the hotel
keepers have ropes and buoys provided for the
protection Of bathers, while on the dangerous
Jersey coas, there Is nothing Of the sort. New
port is also very safe bathing place, having
very little undercurrent, because the beach is
protected by an outlying point, which breaks
the force Of the sea. Rockaway, too, Is COM
paratively secure, but not as much 20 as New
port or Coney Island. But all the watering
places from Sandy Hook to Cape May are ex-
ceedingly dangerous and III provided with ap-
planes for saving life, as the late terrible
calamties attest The owners Of public houses
in that vicinity should be visited with the
heaviest censure for their carelesene~ and mig.
gardlincss in failing To supply some proven
lives against such sad catastrophes as those Of
last week.

HEALTH OF THE Crrr.-The City Inspector
returns for the week ending August ii show
an increase of mortality over the previous
week of one hundred and ifty.seven, seven
less than the week corresponding In 1859, and
forty. one less than the corresponding week Of
1858. The number of deaths under one year
Of age Is two hundred and thirty-fve, and
those under Eve years three hundred and nine
ty-nine, or about three-fifths Of the whole num-
Der of deaths. From consumption there are
eighty-nine deaths, which is greater by far for
the same period than for several years past.
The mortality among foreigners is set down as
one hundred and eighty-five.
The month Of August Is considered the most
unhealthy of any Of the months OF the year,
from the excessive heat which usually prevails
and from too free indulgence in eating I'M
ripe and unsound fruit The foreign immigra-
ton for the last week arriving in this city
amounts to thirty thousand. many of whom
were suffering from diseases incidental to long
passages, insufhciency and impurity Of food,
and from their confined condition on ship
board.
RIt is fair to presume that we have passed
through what is understood TO be the most fatal
Of the weeks Of the year, and may hereafter
count upon steady decrease in our weekly
bills Of mortality. We find that COL Deavan,
our efficient City Inspector, is gradually gain
ing the confidence of the more eminent of the
medical faculty Of the city in his unceasing ef-
forts to preserve the public health.
We would inquire of the Common Council
whether any action has been taken towards
correcting any Of the numerous sanitary abuses
10 which their attention has been called by the
City Inspector in his annual and subsequent
communications 10 that body; or l. the public

The character OF these roads Is very wen
known. They are nearly all in debt, and some
of them have been grossly mismanaged from
time to time. There is no doubt that there is
general Improvement in perhaps all the rail-
roads throughout the country, but not to an ex-
tent to warrant the above quotations Of the
sudden increase of stock. The truth is, that 1t
is the result of speculation simply, and may be
stimulated by the banks and some outside specu-
lators. We warn people engaged in regular
business to be cautious how they 60 into this
kind of speculation, or they may find them
selves in the same .fasco which came upon them
in 1857. We are glad to perceive that very
respectable member of the Board of Brokers,
who was sufferer by the last panic, Mr.. wes-
ley, member Of the church and member of
the press also, having control of an obscure
paper in the city, warns the public against fall
ing into the same trap in which he lost his tail
in 1867.

The TRIBUNE IN ANOTHER FaIaHr.
Tribune, having recently got over one fright,
is now again terribly scared. Breckenridge
was the object of his terror of late Now II u
the Bell and Everett ticket. And on this it
has good reason for alarm. No other ticket
will SO walk into the affections of the republi-
cans in the New England States We should
not be surprised, indeed, if a revolution takes
place at the polls down East which will put
Lincoln hors de combat.
The Tribune however, has one source of
consolation in the event of defeat II assures
us that Lincoln is "a man who scarcely went to
school, who at twentyone could hardly read,
and was scarcely worth the clothes on his back,
coarse as they WERE" Now, ignorance of the
art of reading and writing plain English may
be very good qualification for an Alderman,
as it is often found to be for candidates for
a place in Blackwehs Island OF Sing Sing; but
to claim this as q high qualification for the
President Of the United States is going little
too far with the joke. By all accounts Lincoln
ought to go TO school even now to get some
lessons in grammar, spelling and pcnmanship.
His episiles are said to be very funny Affairs.
But while the Tribune boasts of the ignorance
Of Lincoln IL says Bell and Everett "were
born to education and opulence." This Is I'M
true. Mr.. Everett was born poor, and had to
work his way up, tin now he is one of the
most elegant scholars in the land. while even
the Tribune admits that both be and Bell have
talents, experience and integrity, which Il
would by no means question" 1t Is the FIRST
time, we believe, in the history Of the country.
that ignorance Of reading and writing Is held
up to the country rs q qualification for The
Presidential chair, while early training and q
good education are disparaged as disqualihcs-
tons for that high Office.
What are we coming to when such Fourierite
doctrines are boldly proclaimed by a republi-
can Journalist. II was the doctrine and prac-
tice of the phalanxes to decry education aud
exalt ignorance. Hence they contended that
the unlettered laboring man was entitled to
the highest remuneration and the greatest ho-
nors, because his work was dissgreeable;
whereas the intellectual man, the man of brains
and education was entitled TO least considers
ton, because his employment was pleasant.
The Fourierie phalanxes, so zealousy sup
ported by the Tribune, have disappeared, We
believe, from the United States; but II the cam
paien doctrines now preached up by the philo-
sophers of that journal have any effect there
will soon be "a revival" and we may very
shortly after have proposition agitated to
abolish the public schools, as well as all insd-
tutions which guarantee the rights of property.
Their great cardinal principle is that property
IL robbery" Hence the fling ut the wealth Of
Bell and Everett, as well as at their good edu
cation.

No, this cannot be. But this will be suspected SO
long as he refuses to fulfil this aforesaid invita-

HONEST OLD ABE AND HIS CABINET.
republican journals, believing that aHonest
Old Abe Lincoln" is already as good as elected.
are casting about for his Cabinet. Accordingly
il is given out that ". H. Seward is to be the
Premier, which, as it will break the nose Of
Greeley at once, is an appointment, no doubt,
resolved upon by his enemies. 1t is not con-
sidered admissible to have two Cabinet mem
bers from the same State. But with Seward a.
Premier, poor Greeley may also give up every
aspiration for secondary place, such as the
New York Custom House OF. Post Office. In
short, with Seward in the Cabinet, Greeley
will bring his basket of eggs to the same mar
ket as the Chevalier Forney. He will be left
out in the cold.
For Secretary Of War; Henry Winter Davis.
of Maryland, may turn up. He is entitled to
something for giving the one more vote wanted,
in addition to that of George Briggs, to elect .
republican Speaker at the last session of Con-
gress For Attorney General, John Hickman,
of Pennsylvania, has the inside, track in con-
sideration of his various invaluable services
to the republican cause, and bis posi-
ton as the republican chairman on law
of the House of Representatives. For
Secretary of the Navy, Senator Wade, Of
Ohio. "a mighty man of valor,' is spoken Of
For Secretary of the Interior we would sug-
gest the widely known Abby Kelly Foster-a
strong minded woman of the regular free SOIL
free speech, free niger, free love sisterhood-a
real rail splitter in pettcoats, competent ne
doubt, to regulate orr Indian tribes and the
Mormons on free love principles. For Post
master General, Fred Douglass of all men,
would be the man to take the conceit out of
the Southern chivalry.
This will do on the subject of the Cabinet
for the present. We must not eat all the grapes
al single meal But we must avail ourselves
of this occasion to put in good word for that
military, ecclesiastic and diplomatic chieftain
of the church militant, the Chevalier Webb.
Under General Taylors administration he wss
appointed Minister to Austria and, in order to
do the thing up in style, he expended the neat
little sum of Eve hundred dollars for cooked
hat, a blue cloth coat embroidered with gold
lace, silk waistcoat trimmed with silver, q
ruflled shirt, pair of leather breaches, small
sword, eye glass and gold chain, silk stockings,
and beautiful slippers ornamented with buckles
resplendent with California diamonds. But the
Senate blackballed our magnificent cotempo-
rary while on bis way to Vienna; and 30 now the
question is. having doubtless carefully pre-
served that splendid court dress. shall he not
have the opportunity to wear II under Presi-
dent Lincoln?
