measure to the influence of such papers

We commend all such papers to the

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10Th Nc Clellan's
army commenced evacuating Harrisou's
Landing last Thursday, and at last advi-
ces from Fortress Monroe, had reached
the lower end Of the Peninsula. The
movement was conducted with complete
success, not man being lost. and all the
stores and supplies being safely removed.
The point designed as the new base of op-
cra::::oo.s Of the army of the Potomac is re:
yet publicly known, but of course will
soon be made manifest.
The belief is entertained in some quar-
ters that the rebels will make desperate
attempt to everwhelm Gen. Pope before
assistance can reach him. 1t is thought,
however, that his force is fully competent
to protect itself against serious disaster.

We have read it (the Constitution of the

confess that, except its special provisions
in regard to slavery. 1t is about as good
a charter of government "a could have
been devised Probably this excellence
is due to the fact that in all important re
spects it is copy of the one the Confeder-
acy has just repudiated, though improved
in few points which exneIience has
shown to be imperfecting ours.
After enumerating uumbe: OF those
amendments the journal adds.
In all these particulars the Southern
Constitution is an improvement on ours.
But it may be said that this was before

eff We are not struck by judicial blind

cling to the Constitution, as the ship
wrecked mariner clngs to the last plank
when darkness and the tempest close g.

This sentiment, so beautiful and so true,
uttered many years ago by Gen. Cass point
ed out the rock upon which Aboitionism
was urging the good old ship of State,
and now, when amid the breakers Of dis
union, the double dyed traitors North and
South, who brought the Union into its sad
condition and into is present danger,
scoH at all who still adhere TO the Const-
tuition which bears the signature of GEORGE
WASHINGTON, as President of the Conven.
ton which framed it.
In this the hour of our country's peril,
when desolated fields, hearlhstones discol-
ored and their fires quenched in blood
when mourning takes the place of happi
ness in the family circle--when commerce
is pased and The white sails of our mer:

when debt is swelling the burdens of The

doubly decinaed by disease-the true

through the gloom which enshrouds our
people describes beacon star Of hope in
that Constitution, which created the UNION,
and which alone can save or restore
it,
Because as a nation we were "struck
with Judicial blindness because we
needed not the warning voices of the past,
and scolfed the example &C history-be-
cause drunk with prosperity and power,
we left the plain old Constitutional paths,
and sought to follow the tortuous wind

men and Christians. in our duty to God.
our country. and ourselves--we find our
selves to-day without a sympathising
friend among the civilized nations of the
globe, the once happy Uaion discovered,
discordant band Of States, each striving.
not to aid but to mar the prosperity of the
other. and the American people pouring
out blood and treasure to destroy each
other.

madmen riot in the havoc they have
caused. and ambitious demagogues rejoice
in the ruin which they have aided to ere
