Washington and the UniOn--
Grafton Offhc Hon. Rob-
eTl Palmer,

The 22nd Of February just past, was
made the occasion for a general and en-
thusiastic display Of devotion to the Union
throughout the Free States. That was
we'll enough This display was especially
conspicuous at Harris burg. the capital OF
our State. So far as we can ga her the
spirit that prompted the proceedings at
Harrisburg from reading the newspaper
account Of them, We aympathise with it,
but We doubt very much whether any
good was accomplished, simply because
the leaders in the movement forgot the
chief cause which led to the American
Union. When we first read tie an
nouncenent that the Hon. ROBERT NJ.
PALMER would deliver an Grafton on that
o:% ;asion, We lad high hopes that words
would be spoken to all the people Of this
State that would be profitable to treasure
up and remember. We though we knew
Robert Palmer, and that he was the man
for the hour. But we have either est.
mated the man TOO highly, or we have
under-estimated the difficulty Of speak.
ing at Harrisburg. such words as the
condition of the courtry called for.
Ia our struggle with Great Britain te
secure the acknowledgment of our rights
did ever one Of our orato.s sneer at the
jealous advocates of Liberty? Compare
this Grafton of Mr. Palmer's with mn
paper left to us by the men Of l776 and
lit will seem to trifle with the question Of
the hour. True enough, " 1t Is patriot
lc. eloquent, and beautifui-many pas
cages in it being gems of o.atory and
truth, as is said by the State Sentinel,
bu, it is neither brave nor statestnanlike
it ignores as of no importance, the cor
tGer-st0ne on which this nation was found.
I'd. TO wit: That governments are insti,
f!uted among men to secure their lDallen-
Esble rights. /" that whatsoever any form
III government becomes destructive of
lhese ends, it is tie right Of the people
Q alter or abolish it." So spoke the Fa-
hers-but Mr.. Palmer sneers at this
grand idea, and asserts that any inquiry
Y. to whether our Union Is securing to
s these rights, is a miserable question,
ad that it is folly to consider liberty of
pore value than the Union of the States;
nd he asserts with a confidence peculiar
men upholding a bad cause, that there
IAN be no higher law for the Ameri-
an citizen than the Constitution Of Lis
hountry.
vi course if Union is 10 be considered
The meet important thing to be sccur-
w. The Slave holders have only 10 state
rlelr ultlmatum aud the Free States must
An'edIate,y Get down on their knees and
Slavery lave IT'S own way. We think
II. Palmer about ten years too late with
Is Grafton, and r.at he has entirely fall
to comprehend re duties of the pres

A Grand Review.
Dispatch to the New York Times.

Dispatch to the New York Times.
There was grand review to day of the
troops at Tennalytown, under Gen Mccall.
Ten thousand men were under arms. The
review was by General Mcclellan and Staff.
with President Lincoln and suite, every
member of the Cabinet Gen. Mansfield and
his Staff, General Thomas Adjutant Gen,
eral, Brigadier General Launder, and
number OF other distinguished military gem
teman. The review was most magnifi.
cent display. the men appearing to be high.
ly inspirited by the presence of the young
General and the distinguished cortege who
accompanied him. Gen. Mcclellan made
brief speech to the troops, accepting all re-.
sponsibilities of command, pledging them
all they were entitled to enjoy, and exacting
from them the courage, discipline and en-
durance of men fighting for national ex-
istence. The President was received with
National salute, fred from battery of
64-pounders.
In the afternoon, General Mcclellan &C.
companied by the President and Secretary
Chase, reviewed 5000 men, under command
of General Smith, of Vermont. The same
high spirit appeared to be infused into
these troops by the presence of General Nc
Clellan, as was manifested by those review
ed in the morning. The practice at the
guns was grand.

The Affairs of Tennessee.

Correspondence Of the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.
A conversation that l had with the Hon.
Horace Maynard, recently arrived in this
city from Eastern Tennessee, has supplied
me with the subjoined particulars. He
was elected to Congress by vote much lar
ger than he ever received before, and on the
ground chiefly, of his uDcomprOmising hos,
tility to the doctrine of secession. In his
opinion the feelings throughout the South
are precisely like those in Eastern Tennes>
see, only that in his section the people have
had the boldness to stand up against the
madness of the demagogues. In spite of all
that has taken place, the masses there
would now rejoice to have the national diff
fculties settled on the basis of the good old
constitution. Indeed, they think the war
will end in just such a manner, but that
much hard fighting must ensue beforehand
The unprincipled leaders will have nothing
to lose by defeat, but every thing to gain
by the rebellion; They are bent upon sac.
riicing the interests of the many for their
own selfish purposes. AS an evidence o.:
the prevailing sentiment in Knoxville it
Humes, the Rector of ST. Johns Church in
that city, continues as heretofore, to read
the Episcopal prayer for the prosperity of
the President Of the United States.
As was the case with Mr. Maynard, the
Hon. Thomas A. r. n elson was also re-
elected to Congress by an increased majori-
ty, but while on his way to Washington
was arrested as traitor, and is now sup.
posed to be in prison at Richmond. Only
think of such man being imprisoned by a
lot of reprobates for proving himself true
patriot, and then fancy such creatures as
Pryor and ittpeering through the prison
bars, with smile of revenge upon the no
bic captive. The idea is enoug to make
ones Slcod boil. Messrs. Maynard and
Nelson stated for Washington Immediately
after the election, not doubling that Con-
gress would continue in session for longer
period than it did. 1t is fortunate, how
ever, that the former gentleman has reached
Washington, as an opportunity has thus
been afforded to lay before the President
the real condition of affairs in the heart of
the Southern States and you will be
pleased to learn that arrangements are being
made which will result in extending the
protecting arm of the general government
over the loyal citizens OF Tennessee. With
such able men as Maynard, johnson and
Etheridge near the seat of power, to look
after her interests, that noble State may
rest assured that her days OF trial will not
be long continued.

What the Oath OF Allegiance il
WORTH

The Wheeling (Va.) Lnteligenesr reports
the arrest of rebel, one Price, who has
been found in arms after taking the oath OF
allegiance, and it describes the case thus /:
One man by the name of Price, dark
visaged, impudent looking man, who was
brought in from Pennington on Tuesday
evening, was arrested the day our troops
occupied the camp at the burnt bridges
The oath of allegiance was administered and
Price was released. He paid no more at
tention to the oath than if if had been ad-
mipistered upon brick>bat or deck of
cards, and it was not long before he was
again found in arms shooting at Union men
and committing outrages. He was again
arrested, and again released. The last
time, however, forbearance having ceased
to be virtue, be was sent down here. M
