Names to be AbhOrred,

We take tho following paragraph from
q long article IN late issue Of the Phila'
dclphia North Amsricani on the subject OF
establishing n new Democratic paper in
Philadelphia;
"lC democratic paper could be pub
lished without constant iteration Of the
words "Constilution and Union," in It's IL
tie rs well as its text, il is possible that a
reasonable degree OF success would attend
ii. But one cannot be 80 published, and
therefore such journals are not pleasant
whIlo they live, aud in enlightened com
munities they speedily die. lidemocratic
speeches pam phlets, and utterances OF eY-
cry sort could also steer clear OF tins III
cessant iteration-an appropriate adJec'
tive is applied to such iteration IN the
English classics, which, as it is difficult to
print we recommend to be consulted IN
the original-if these daily speeches, we
say, would leave out all surplus references
to the Union and the Constitution, the
public would feel great relief and posi-.
bly, these utteranceS would be rendered
tolcrable."
The reasons here assigned cannot fail
to strike the reader with the utmost AS
tonishment. The "Lnio,I and the "Com
aituto,P are of all names the most obnox
ious to this high toned, dignihed(!) journ'
al Any other name would suit it better
Such names fairly stink in their nostriIs.
flour Government had been suddenly
changed to a monarchy, or Gespotism
and all our free and liberal institutions, so
carefully shaped and so nicely adjusted by
our revolutionary fathers, had been sud
denly swept away, such contemptuou'
slurs upon the loved names Of our one,
glorious CONSTITUTION" and "UNIoS,
would be appropriate enough but nov

J. b. McENALLy's SrEECu.-We listened
to the address OF this gentleman at the
meeting of the late Republican party in
this place last week, with feelings OF plea
sure, not altogether unmingled, however,
with surprise and astonishment. We were
pleased with his genera! candor and fair
ness. and with hia donunoiatior of tho on
emies of our once glorious Union but
surprised that he did not include the ABB
olitionistS OF the North rs equally guilty
with the Secessionists of the South.
We were pleased with his remarks
showing the importance o! an enlightened
public opinion, and how important it was
that the people should thoroughly under
stand all public questions, in order that
they may no. be imposed upon 10y design,
ing demagogues; but surprised that he
would so plainly attribute our present in
ternal troubles to the ignorance qf tie masses
in times past
We were pleased with his condemnation
Of the madness of party spirit; but sur
prised that such admonitions should come
/ from one who is so decidedly partisan
himself as to have been, at one time or an
other, an octire member, not a candidate, q
cach political party IN crjStcncr.
! We were pleased to hear him depict the
power and strength and financial credit Of
cur Government but surprised that hc
forgot to tell his hearers that our COM
merce, from being the second IN the world
had dwindled down to almost nothing, and
that in the midst of this apparent this
MQgroPh;c-prosperty 9od has quite dis.
appeared from the eyes Of the people, and
now commands premium OF G! per cent
We were pleased to hear him denounce
revolutions rs dangerous institutions gener-
ally; but surprised to hear him admit, in
terms most unequiyocal the right of reyo

ur course the President cannot be held
responsible for the misleasarces Of subor-
dinates, unless adQuted or at least toier"7
ted by him. And | am sure that nothing
unjust or ungereroas will be tolerated,
much less adopted, 10y him.
am happy to let you know that he
has no sympathy with Stanly in his alb.
surd wickedncss, closing the schools, nor
again in his other act OF turning our camp
into hunting ground for slaves. He
repudiates both positively. The later
point has occupied much Of his thought ;
and the newspapers have not gone too far
i'm recording his repeated declarations,
which | have often heard from his own
lips, that slaves finding their way into the
National lines are never to be re-enslaved
This is his conviction, expressed without
reserve.
Could YOU have seen the President-as
it was my privilege often-while he was
considering the great question on which
he has already acted-the invitation tc
the Emancipation in the States, Emanci.
patton in the District Of Columbia, and
the acknowledgement Of the indepen'
dence Of Hayi and Liberia your
zeal would have been satisfied, for you
would have felt the sincerity of his pur,
/ pose to do what he could to carry forward
the principles of the Declaration of lndo-
pepdcnce. His whole soul was occupied,
especially by the first proposition, which
was peculiarly his own. In familiar inr
I tercoursa with him ! remember nothing
more touching than the earnestness and
completeness with which he embraced
! this idea. 70 his mind, il was Just and
beneticient while itpromised the sure end
Of Slavery. OF course, to me, who had
already proposed n Bridge Of Gold for tire
retreating fcnd, it was most Welcome
Proceeding from the President, it must
take ITO place among the great events oi
history.
If you are disposed TO be inpatient
al any seeming short comings, think,
! pray you, of what has been done in brieI
period, and from the past discern the sure
promise of the future. Knowing some,
thing OF my convictions and of the aIdol
with which maintain them,you may, per-
haps, derive some assurance from my con.
iiaenCe. ! say tc you, therefore, Stand
by the Administration. lfneel be. helm
it by word and act, but stand 10y it and
have faith in it.
| wish that you really knew the Presi-
dent, and had heard the artlcss express
ion of his convictions on these questions
which concern you so deeply. You might
| perhaps, wish that lie was less cautious
but you would be grateful that he is So
