SYMPTOMS OF ENERGY IN THE GOVERNMENT
BY Geographic intelligence published in yes
terday's HERALD, we learn that the government
have ordered the arrest Of Pierce Butler, on q
charge of reasonable practices. There is also
rumor of the arrest of VIM. B. Reed, late
Minister to China; George W. Wharton, late
United States District Attorney; Charles
Brown, ex-Collector of the port, and David
Saloman As to the latter gentlemen the intel
ligence is as yet premature, but how soon II
may be true none can tell. In Philadelphia
there is knot of conspirators who wouE
gladly foment an instruction in Pennsylvania
in order to create a diversion and promote the
designs of jefferson Davis upon Washington.
The men named have been hitherto leagued
with the Southern secessionists and have played
into their hands. We would not be surprised
to hear soon of the name Of Mr.. Buchanan being
added TO the list. Ho gave aid and comfort
enough to the enemy when in Office by permit
ting Floyd to transfer the federal arms and mu-
nitious of war to the Southern States. and by
permitting South Carolina to environ Fort
Sumter with such powerful batteries that ito
fall was inevitable. Would it not be curious
TO see the ex-President Gagged together with
ex-President Pierce, Of New Hampshire, Caleb
Gushing and all that crowdf Let martial law
be proclaimed at all points where it may be
necessary. Without vigor and energy the
government will be again defeated But from
the symptoms we now observe, we anticipate
not digraceful defeat, but glorious victory.

Difference which no administration can acquire
unaided by it. 1t occupies the position of a
perpetual Congress, and the measures upon
which it agrees are invariably adopted, before
any considerable lapse of time. 1t was fatal
error, therefore, on the part Of Mr.. Chase, to
have passed over the journals of this city as he
did, and not until American governments emu
late the example of the more civilized nations
Of the Old World in their treatment of the press,
can they expect to secure any permanent hold
upon public estimation.

The GOVERNMENT AND THE SLAVERY CUES
TToN.-h another column will be found report
Of an important speech of Hon. Caleb B. Smith,
Secretary of the Interior, delivered in Provi-
dence, Rhode Island. 1t derives its chief value
from the fact that it is the utterance of a Cabi-
net Minister, and probably expresses the senti-
ments Of the majority Of the Cabinet. Certain.
ly we have seen nothing as yet to indicate the
contrary. In this speech Mr.. Smith declares
that the war is a war for the restoration of the
Union and the vindicaton of the constitution,
and not to abolish slavery. He says
The theory q this government is, that the States
sovereign within their proper sphere The government
of the United States has right to interfere with
the institution of slavery in South Carolina than 1t has to
Interfere with tho peculiar institution of Rhode Island,
whose benefits have enjoyed to-day. se* We make
no war upon Southern institutions. We recognise the
right of South Carolina and Georgia to hold slaves If they
desire them.
This is very decided and very explicit. None
can mistake its meaning. But though such is
the voice of the administration, it cannot be
denied that there is at the North a powerful and
rampant anti-slavery faction whose darling OBJ
ject is the overthrow of the Southern institu-
ton, and who would prefer separation to-mor-
row if they could not accomplish it. This
faction is represented by Greeley, Garrison,
Phillips, Beecher, the Independent and other
radical chiefs and journalists. They are doing
their utmost to drag the administration into
their plan. But the government well knows
that it is impracticable and never could sue
coed. The conservative masses of the North
would not tolerate it. AS for the reliance Of
abolition fanatics upon servile insurrection, II
is utterly futile. With the armed power of the
| South in the hands of the whites there could NO

MARYLAND AND THE NoRTH.-It is clear from
the general uprising of the people of the non
slavenolding States, in favor of some action by
Congress to assure the South of her future Sc
curity, that Maryland has no cause Of quarrel
with the North. As to our interests, they are
identified as mach with the North as the South,
and IN some respects much more 20. The people
OF the North are in favor of raising the means
necessary to support the Government, by Tint
system OF indirect taxation which imnoses no
burden upon the people. The politicians of the
South hre IN favor Of abolishing this system. and
substituting direct taxation for the support of
heir Government The people Of the North ara
in favor Of such rates Of duties upon FOREIGN i'm
ports ns will infuse life and animation in every
department Of mechanical and manufacturing IN
duatry, and this is just the thing to continue our
State in career Of prosperity, aud bring into
full development the many resources which She
possesses.
We're we allied to a Southern Confederacy with
South Carolina in the lead, we should have "a
meet our portion Of its expenses by direct taxa
tion. TIE amount Maryland would have Ia
raise, could not be less than million of dollars
year under the most economical management
of the new Government. This added to the
amount our people have to pay on account Of
our State debt, would prove a most oppressive
burden. Let this fact be we'll studied by the
yeomanry Of Maryland, and then let each and
every man among them swear, the one to The
other, that there shall be no secession on the
part of this State neither now, nor at any future
lime.-BaitimoYe Clipper.

A BOLD RoBBERY.-The secessionists took pos
session of the United States mint and custom
house Of New Orleans on Friday. The mint con-
tanned large amount Of money, and its seizure
has caused considerable Indignation among hon
est mon everywhere.
The secretary of the Treasury gave Adams &
Co.'s Express draft on the sub-Treasury a
week ago for Ss5O,OOO of the $ss9,OOO in silver
bullion and coin, then in the government safes.
That officer feigned some excuse fer few days,
doubtless for the purpose of consulting with the
conspirators, under whose advice he finally acted.
In the meantime the agent of the express com
pany applied to take part Of this large sum,
which weighed nine tons, and would require five
OF SIX days to remove it. He got no definite
answer until Friday, when the sub-TrCasurer no
tilted him that the State had taken possession oil
the money. Thus is plunderiug rascality prac
ticed upon the government everywhere in thu
south.

A RIDICULOUS IDEA.-The Richmond Wing
says; "The idea of going ont Of the Union to
brighten the North into an accession of our de-
mands is too silly to be entertained for a moment
by the veriest dolt in the land. And yet few
excited men are suggesting this tom-foolery Of
'iodging out and lodging back to an enlght-
cned nation, as q shrewd plan to bring about O
settlement. The righteousness Of the proposi.
tion proves it to be catch bait for the unsus-
pecting. But the people know very well that
when they ore once dragged out, they are not to
be dragged back so easily. Let the people Of
Virginia, then, when they 90 to the polls on
Monday, reflect that reconstruction Of the
Union, after general dissolution takes place, is
On utter fallaey, and an utter absurdity."
