Southern gentleman, whose statements With re.

MONDAY, AUGUST n, 1860,

THE SAME ISSUE EVERYWHERE.
There is really but one great issue dividing
1uen, the world over. Everywhere that large
masses are arraycd against each other, whether
f,r discussion CT for deadly strife the underlying
idea wl,icl, moves them Is the aame. The dif-
tsrert loEms Of government and the different
dsgr.es 0: civilization, leading to different
III 'jcs o. :ction, constitute the only difference.
Tual ,d=a il tho inherent end indcftasitlo right
OF man 10 lberty-aad The impelling motive
istaa natural AID indestructible hatred Of des-
potisn: In one country the issue is left TO
the arbtrament Of the sword-in another 10
tha. Of The ballot-box. Tho bloody struggle
tha: ensanguinci the plains Of Piedmont
and l.ombardE duiog tbs past year

followed-the carnage that has just swept
orer Sicily-tho impending struggle Which
thr4atcns to overwhelm Naples, and which
will doubtless be carried north ward until it
reaches Rome, mad the eceptre Of temporal
authority is wrosled from the land Of Il
P.p.-a]l this is only another form Of tie
same struggle that is in progress in our own
Country. 3hye the object is sought through
bloody rcvolution-here through tho forco Of
pablic. opinion and tie peaceful agency Of the
ballot.tox. There sue den destruction Of tie
old and an immediate Inauguration Of the new
ana better taeory Of government are aimed at
-ac7e 1he Object is 10 prevent the spread
Of the evil, leaving lis peaceful e1-
tirpa:i:n to those who are involved
in it, aud who are responsible for it, But here
no less than there, the impelling motive is that
natural and ineradicable hatred Of despotism

friends Of freedom in Italy. How natural that |
the uplo:ders Of despotisn, in our country |
shousi Contribute to Tic maintenance Of the |
d,spotism against which Garibaldi il making

Lara that the Golfers Of one Of the candidates

money to aid in surpressing the Italian peo-
pie in their struggles tor freedom, need be
surprzoa no longer. The act is only in

tbs barrier that patriotic men had erected
against the spread Of Slavery. We repeat,
tho issue is everywhere the saue. Let those

road, says the Chicago Press d Tribune, always in
good condition, was never in more splendid order
or more admirably managed than at present All
the cars have been refitted and furnished for the
season with all the modern appliances to the COM
fort of the travelling public. The conductors are
most attentive to their duties and to the wants of
the passengers, while the new sleeping cars are
the ne Ptus ultra in the way of comfort Every
berth in them can be ventilated at the will of the
occupant, and the whole car is also ventilated by
raised roof, with stained side windows, as on our
lake steamers. All the on this road are also
protected from dust by patent screens underneath,
and also connecting each car with the other. This
is not only protection against dust, but also
protection to the lives and limbs of the passengers
as they pass from one car to the other without
danger of falling between.
