passed laws infringing upon the National
fugitive slave law. That is, they have
rassed laws to relieve their citizens from
the necessity Of acting as blood hounds
to reclaim a species Of property, held by
the South, which is not recognized b. the
Constitution, and is the creature ofSouth
ern local law. ~Dlsrcgardiug the primary
cause, they now attempt to Tighten the
North iato refractory measures by threat
cning to resent the fact and 10 doing so,
they are also Inconsistent, because they
resent the doctrine Of State rights FOR
which they have so long and loudly con
tended. If the South has State-rights
so also has the North and if the protec-
ton Of unconstitutional property is a re-
served night, how infinitely much more
so is the protection Of the natural liber-
ties and rights Of citizens But we can
see no cause for retaliation on the part
Of the south, even II we thro" aside en-

Report OF tho Secretary Of tho
Navy.

The report Of the Secretary Of the Navy.
Hon. Isaac Toucey, opens with the topic Of
steam navy. The boirdof officers appoint
ed under the act of the last session, to exam
inc the sailing vessels of the Navy, had Civ
en- an opinion that 1t is cxpcdient to intro
duce steam power into the ships of the line
only, and that eight Of them can be RACED
and converted into frst-class steam irigates
Mt cost of about 1888 900 each. In the
present ago Of steam navigation, the line of
battle ships could not 60 to sea with reas-
enable degree Of safety. No sde-wheel
steamer can be ELI ,ient as war-steamer.
The secretary rcitcratcs his earnest rccom-
mendation OF the policy Of gradual sub
stantial, and permanent increase Of the Ma
Wy, accompanied by the universal introduc-
ton into 1t Of the motive power of steam.
The suspension Of appropriations for repairs
and improvements in Navy Yards should
only be temporary. A decided improvement
in the progress of the students ut the Naval
Academy has been noticeable.
The suppression of the African slave trade
has been prosecuted with vigor. Twelve
slayers have been captured within tho year.

ain would enforce her treaty with Spain,
the trade would be suppressed. The same
would be the case IL Cuba should be annexed
TO the United States. llc advises that pa
tented articles adapted to the service should
bc used. Butter, cheese, -four and tobacco
ought to be boub at at tho market price, and
not be furnished by contract to the lowest
bidder. The sailor should also have his ia.

The Wide Awakee.

To no fundamentally is the Republican
party more indebted for its recent great sue
cesses and its present hopeful condition, than
to this glorious National Guard of Freedom,
which has done such wonders during the
present campaign. Going to work early in
the canvass, with enthusiasm, system, and
thorough organization, their serried ranks
like those of Napoleons Old Guard, have
been invincible. With them, to go into
contest was to triumph.
The New York Tribune pays this merittd
tribute to their services, and urges them on
in the complete fulfllment of their final duty
to be performed to-day:
The most imposing, Influential, and pO-
tent political organization which ever exist
ed in this country, is the Wide-A cakes
They have been the salient characteristic Of
the campaign. They have thrown into the
canvass an ineuleulable amount of enthusi-
asm. They are the terror of the Democracy
and its allies The future historian, who
shall depict the incidents which will make
the political revolution of $50 memorable
| in our annals, will devote one of his most
| glowing chapters to the achievements of the
\
| But, the multitudinous Clubs which have
| infused such energy into this contest should
remember, that they were organized not
/ merely to throw Il flood of brilIancy over
! the preliminary stages ofthe fight, but main
| " to make sure the victory upon the trial
day In plain English, the prime object of
/ these Clubs is to secure a majority OF the
l Electoral votes for Lincoln and Hamlin on
the first Tuesday of November. So far as
| they are concerned that is the day for
which all other days were made. Two or
| three suggestions may not be improbable.
! The Wide Awakes should regard all that
| they have yet done as mere drilling and
| disciplning for the battle on the day of the
I election.
They should now go at the serious work
of preparing to bring every Lincoln voter to
the polls.
To do this, they should have squads to
confer with doubtful voters, to distribute
ballots, to rally laggards to the polls, to
challe4ge illegal votes, and the like.
They should take thorough measures to
| prevent illegal votes going into the boxes
Wide-Awazesl The real fighting is now
about to begin. On the day of battle, don t
be preparing programme for celebrating
the victory. Don't be furnishing your
banners and filing your lamps. York al
the polls from early dawn to set of sum-
And then, when the triumph is achieved
and all is made sure, and the lightning
flashes victory !" along the wires, SCI
apart day for General Jubilee worthy o.
the great event. But, till then WORK :
America expects every Wide-Awake to do
his duty!

New YORK CITY.-The New York Tri-
bune of the 3lst says that Lincoln and
Hamlin have made great progress in that
city within the last week, and that the at
tempt to get up panic has reacted and
positively benefited the Republicans. Num-
bers of the most substa ntial business men,
heretofore against the Republicans, have
concluded to vote with them as the best
means to give peace and stability to the
country. The Tribune remarks, if the
election were fortnight hence, instead of
on Tuesday next, Lincoln would have a
majority in New York City. As it is we
shall run the Fusionists much closer than
they have had any idea Of Think of
that, will you New York City has hereto
fore been the stronghold of the Democracy;
now it seems to be slipping from their
grasp. Surely the millennium must be at
hand
