THE REBUKE.-The President's crushing rebuke
of the infamous system Of making political capital
at the expense of his reputation man, resorted
to by the Opposition in the House, involved In
his recent dignied, indignant and really CRUSH
ing message, has thrown those Of the body who
have unscrupulously slandered him without
counting the cost, into very shiver of dismay
They already comprehend that he convicts them
of conduct grossly voative of every principle of
law, justice and common integrity Of purpose
while at the same time making it necessary for
Them in self-defence, to accord to him the rig ht
Of self-defence on principles Of law and Justice,
which they had entertained no idea of granting to
aip' lktpowing yell that their charges are false.
investigation The truth is, they had antici pated
that, conscious Of his entire innocence and de-
spising their malicious and unworthy aspersions
upon his character and acts, he would not deign to
notice their tricks Finding, however that they
have counted without their host in this matter,
they are casting about them for some plan by
which they can get out Of their ugly scrape.
Thus they propOs, to attack the message with a
general discharge of all their noisiest air guns as
soon as 1t may be reported back from the Judi
ciary Committee. In that manner they hope to
kick up such dust to hide from the country
the fact that they dare not, in this matter accord
to the President Of the United States-a COO nate
branch Of the Government-the plainest principles
Of defence accorded to the meanest citizen of the
land, under the laws.

States than the late John Brown meeting
at Boston.
\ few determined wicked men can make
a great deal of trouble, as these perverse
and obstinate South Carolina leaders
prove Their disunon agitation has al
ready cost the nation more than fifty South
Garolinas could make good in fifty years.
1t has already produced more bad feeling
than any event in our history. In all
parts of the nation, at the South as well
as the North, their preci pitation is alike
execratcd. Fit depended upon the votes
of the people, we do not believe that there
is man, woman or child that would not
willingly let South Carolina go where she
might please 1t the constitution could
be so amended as to allow any number Of
discontented individuals to withdraw at
their own will, it would find universal
approval so far as these are concerned
Everybody is heartily tired of their va
porine. bravado and nonsense. But, un-
fortunately, the question is not one of per-
sonal feelings; it is question of consti-
tuition, of laws. of traditional rights; and
it ought to be met with the cautious, pa
ticnt, far-secing, dignifed wisdom which
alone is appropriate in the conduct Of the
critical affairs Of states.-Ereniny Post.

ccpted to protect it from the mob. 1t was
an expert movement, peaceful capture.
1t will continue to be thus guardd till
the time arrives for making use of the ex-
tcnslye military storc-housc against the
Federal Government, which in this as in
many othcs things, has been outwited by
the nullitiers.
In order to show the aRijnll@ of the
people Of Charleston, who thus very kind
ly guard the United States Arsenal.
| will relate a single circumstance which
| see has lately been revived and made
the subject Of a tclcgraphic dispatch from
Washington. The commanding officer OF
Fort Moultric ordered Capt. Seymour and
a squad of soldiers, in citizens dress, to
proceed to the Arsenal for several boxes
OF light arms, and perhaps some ammunti-
on which, though he could do without, he
deemed best to send for. The military
storekceper at the Arsenal had issued an
order for the articles called for, most of
them had been taken to the dock, and the
soldiers were engaged in placing them ON
board Of the boat, when body of citizens
appeared, commanded them to desist took
from the boat what had been placed on
board, marched the captain and hi, men
before the Mayor, who >ternly reprimand-
ed them, and bid them to return to the
Fort, report the facts to their superior,
and never be caught in such business again.

Reversing the Republican Vic.
tory.

The extent and real character of the
demand now made in certain quarters
that the Republicans shall yield the great
point that was decided in the last elect
ion, may be seen by supposing little
different mode of making the concession
from that which has been asked. The de-
mand that slavery shall be protected in
all the Territories by the general govern
mcnt, is the distinctive plank of the
Breckenridge platform. 1t was sanctioned
by no other party, and was fatty contro-
ycrtcd in the Chicago platform The
question went before the people, and as
tokens of the result, when the electoral
colleges assembled on the first Wedneday
Of December, there appeared $50 Elect
tors chosen on the Chicago platform, and
but - on the Breckinridgc PLATFORM
Now, it would have been just as fair and
rational that the $50 Lincoln Electors
should have abandoned their candidate 1--WE
mean of course, with the consent OF their
pary) and voted for Mr.. Breckenridge, as
that the Republicans, with the Douglas
and bell parties, should now abandon
their principles anu 70 o'ci ~ u'a' Va
which Mr.. Breckenridge was the accepted
representative.
1t would, in fact, have been a fairer
and more consistant "couccssicn' than
that now demanded; fer if We are going to
abandon our principles, we have to retain
the fruits of victory Won by their advo-
cacy. Ii we acknowledge that Mr.. Breck-
inridgc's views ought to prevail rather
than ours, then he ought to be allowed to
administer the government and have the
support of all the subordinate officers
The whole thing, then, amounts to this:
that the Republicans ought to be sorry
that they went into the canvass upon the
principles they did, sorry that MIR. Lin
coln was successful at the polls, and sorry
that the $50 Republican Electors did not
Join those who were but two-ffths of
their number and make John G. Breckin-
ridge President Of the United States,
When Bunker Hill Monument jumps into
the ocean We may look for this rccreancy
in the Republican party.
