INC Constitution asurs.

Amid the wastes of the ocean some vast
Gibraltar rears its rocky front, against which the
waves may beat, around which the lightning and
the tempest may play, still leaving its adaman-
tine strength mistaken. its colossal form calmly
and grandly looming above the wilderness of wa
tiers, gladdening sight to the storm-tossed mari
ner-so now THE CONSTITUTION, the Gibraltar of
our liberties, against which the waves of sectional
strife may moan in vain, and around which the
fierce storms of civil war may harmlessly rage,
begins to rear itself over and above the sea of
tumult and blood. strife, gladdening the bruised
hearts and dying spirits of American citizens
with its magnificent perfection and the grand
promise of its authoritative protection.
Let US never defile this sacred depository of
human rights. The men who made it were fur
nished at their time and for that purpose by the
hand of God Himsef-great souls, planted on
earth to bloom for time and be garnered again
in heaven-century plants in the garden of hu-

This Constitution once destroyed, once lost, and
the age of today can find no factors who shall
form and establish one to supply its place.
During the same century God will not fur
nish the same nation with two generations OF
Washingtons, Franklins, Jeffersons and their
compeers.
Let US fight bravely, then, both in the South
and the North against the cohorts of secession
and the hordes of aboition-for the Union as il
was and the Constitution as il is. Fortune, life
happiness and honor can not be periled in a bet
ter cause Let the banners of the Democracy
wave first in this fight Let the "long rolf be
sounded in that gallant old party, and victory for
our cause is secured.

ADMoNITIoN OF JACKSON.

''But the Constitution cannot be maintained,
nor the Union preserved. IN opposition to public
feeling, By the mere exertion o. the coercve
powers confded to the General Government The
foundations must be laid in the affections of the
people, in the security it gives TO life, liberty and
property in every quarter OF the country; and IN
the fraternal attachments which the citizens of
the several States bear one to another, as mem
bers of one political family, mutually contribu-
ting to promote the happiness of each other.
Hence, the citizens of each State should studi-
ousy avoid everything calculated to wound the
sensibility or offend the just pride of the people
of other States; and they should frown upon any
proceedings within their own borders likely to
disturb the tranquility of their political brethren
in other portions of the Union.
In country so extensive as the United States,
and with pursuits so varied. the internal regula-
tons Of the several States must frequently differ
from one another in important particulars; and
this difference is unavoidably increased by the
varying principles upon which the American col
onies were originally planted: principles which
had taken deep root in their social relations before
the Revolution, and therefore, of necessity, in
iuencing their policy since they became free and
independent States. But each State has the un-
questionable right to regulate its own internal
concerns according to its own pleasure; and while
il does not interfere with the rights of the people
of other States or the rights OF the Union, every
State must be the sole judge of the measures
proper to secure the safety of its citizens and
promote their happiness; and all efforts on the
part Of the people Of other States to cast odum
upon their institutions, and all measures calcu-
lated to disturb their rights OF property or to put
in jeopardy their peace and internal tranquility.
are in direct opposition to the spirit in which the
Union was formed. and must endanger its safety.
Motives of philanthropy may be assigned for this
understandable interference; and weak men may
persuade themselves, for a moment, that they are
laboring in the cause Of humanity, and asserting
the rights Oh the human race; but every one,
upon sober reflection, will see that nothing but
mischief can come from these improper assaults
upon the feelings and rights Of others. Rest as
sured that the men found busy in this work of
discord are not worthy of your confidence, 'sad
deserve your strongest reprobation.

Farewell Address, September II, l796.

ain contemplating the causes which may dis
turb our Union, it occurs, a matter of serious
concern, that any ground should have been fur
nished for characterizing parties by geographical
Observation-Disclosures and Southern. Allan
tic and Western-whence designing men may en-
deavor to excite belief that there is a real diff
ference of local interests and views. One of the
expedients OF party to acquire influence within
particular districts, is to misrepresent the opin-
ions and aims of other districts. You cannot
shield yourselves too much against the jealousies
and heart burnings which spring from these mis-
representations: they tend to render alien to each
other those who ought to be bound together by
fraternal affection /"

SPECIAL DISPATCHES.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 81.


Special to Tribune, says:
In justice to all parties, it seems proper
to state the following, which we learn
from SO many sources, that it can no lon
ger be considered state secret.
Two or three weeks ago the President
laid before his cabinet proclamation of
emancipation, abolishing slavery on the
first Of next December, if the rebellion
should not be crushed, and asked the
opinions of his ministers touching the
propriety Of issuing it. All but two,
Sec Smith, we believe, being absent, ap-
proved Secy. Seward and P. M. Blair,
however, opposed it with all their might,
and the result is, it did not appear. It
is understood the subject came up at
more than one Cabinet meeting, but Sew
ard and Blair remained resolute minor
ity.
The well-known literateur, W. II. Her
bert, whose detention by the rebels caused
no little stir nearly year ago, hns sscap-
ed from Richmond, and reached this city
yesterday.
Worlds special:
It is openly asserted by the Emancipa-
tionists that the long political struggle is
drawing to close, and that the President,
overbOrne by the pressure brought upon
him, will issue decree giving freedom to
all slaves, and this before the 10th Of Sep
tember.

THE Loss OF THE 0RIoLE.-The Detroit
Advertiser and Tribune of the 18th inst, eO'n-
tains a statement Of the passengers on F.Onrd
the steamer Illinois, with regard 70 the col
Hsion with the schooner OrioIe, tits as fol-
lows:
"The following, to the best Of our belief,
Is the true statement Of the case Early on
the morning Of the 9th inst, the Illinois then
Of Pictured Rocks, on her upward trip, thes
wind blowing very freSh, and a dense fog
prevailing, vessel subsequently ascertained
70 be the 0riOle, crossed the bow Of the stea-
mer. When the collision occurred, the wind
was ahead, and the vessel bound down. Why
she should have been steering such course;
It is impossible to imagine. The shock was
not very severe, and it could not possibly
have been thought sufficient to sink the yes
sci. After asceTtHining that she was not Sc
riously damaged, the steamer proceeded on
her voyage. The question may arise, why
did not the steamer put about and ascertain
the amount Of damage Very naturally the
first anxiety Of the officers Of the boat, with
two hundred souls under their charge, was
to ind out the amount Of injury their own
vessel had received, especially as the alarm
had been given that the boat was sinking
Before the truth could be aseertai1ed, the
boats we're more than a mile apart. The at
ter impossibility Of attempting to ind her in
such q fog, is evident. Had the steamer
lowered boat, if she could live in such a
sea, why not the vessels? It is easy TO say
after an accident Of the kind, this might or
should have been done, when, had theT been
placed in similar circumstances, y ev might
have felt differently.

It is stated that SO great is the rebel
force being precipitated in the direction
of eOrdOnsyille and Gen. Pope, that the
latter has been industriOusly retrsating
for two days, and that the RappahannOck
and not the Rapidan will be the deciding
line Of the cOntesting forces. But he is
not retreating to escape from the coming
battle, but to meet it. The rebel designs
are supposed to be to turn Gen. POpes left
flank in the direction of fredericksburg,
and SO march for Washington and the
North. The correspondence from the
army predicts that this week viii see the
deadliest struggle of the war It is not
improbable. The rebels suffered McClel-
Ian to evacuate the Peninsula, without in
ierpOsing a man to prevent, for they we're
massing all their forces to hurl upon Pope,
and will try to crush him before McClel-
lsn's army joins him.

els, under the two great generals, Pope

WAR MEETING.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. %.
A very large and enthusiastic war meet
lug was held last night at the Mercantile
Library Hall, at which Gov. Gamble made
the principal speech, announcing most
vigorous war policy in this State. He dep
rec. tied the disposition Of the people to find
fault with the policy of the Federal Gov
ern1aent, and recommended the extermina-
ton Of the gueriilas
he would make the secessionists pay for
the prateotion they receive from the gov
ernment, and drive South all non-combat-
ants who denounce the government. He
said Che military authorities hold bonds
from the rebels to the amount Of over a
million Of dollars, and advised that all
broken bondsSbe collected at once. His
His speech was received with tremendous
applause, and if this policy is carried out
by the military authorities peace will soon
be restored in this State.

The Largest Reservoir In the World.

The Largest Reservoir in the World.
The New Workers can now claim to have
the largest artificial lake in the world. II
is situated in the Central Park, and is built
upon a scale Of magnitude which looks not
to the wants of to-day, but of all coming
time. The water was let into this reser-
voir for the first time on Tuesday last
The Times gives this description Of the
structure:
The new reservoir is located in the Cen
tral Park, between Eighty-ffth and Nine
ty-sixth streets, and Fifth and Eighth
Avenues. Il is in a graceful, irregular
shape conforming somewhat to the irregu-
larities Of the ground, and imparting to
this artificial sheet Of water the natural
appearance Of lake. The only straight
lines in the plan Of the reservoir are a
portion Of the point near Fifth Avenue, and
a short distance on the southwest bound
ary. The first excavation was made on
April 8, 1859 since which time the work |
has been pushed forward as rapidly as the |
appropriations and the seasons would per-
NIT.

the reservoir was 1904 acres, Of which SO
acres will be covered with water. The
cost of the land was S500,000. The reser-
voir, and the gate-houses complete, have
cost about S1,50O,O0O. The capacity is es-
timated at !, l,0OO,0OO,OOO imperial gallons.
Itsdepth is thirty feet. The embankment
running around the reservoir, and vary
ing in height according to the natural
conformation of the ground, is fifteen feet
wide on the top, and slopes inward and
at an angleOf II feet to every foot
IF vertical height The inside is faced
With hydraulic masonry to the depth of
eighteen inches; the outside will be COW
red with grass, and the top is smoothed
lOwn with solid clay and graveled. The
'eservoir is divided into two grand COM
by bank, 80 feet high, III feet
vide at bottom, and 10 feet wide at top.
When the reservoir is full, the top Of this ,
,ank will be three feet under water, and
here will be presented to the eye an unin-
errupted lake of sc acres. 1t is the larg- I
st artificial lake in the world, and has been
uilt in the most thorough and substantial \
lanner.

Payment Of Bounties.
Washinpton dispatoh saYs:

Washington dispatch says;
BOunties paid and TO be paid by the Cow
ernment to new volunteers, already amount
to seven millions. OF these, four millions
have been paid. For day or two all
other payments at the Treasury have been
suspended for the sake of closing these up.
It is supposed that another day or two
will pay of the remaining two millions.
These, of course, are merely the bounties
paid by the National Government. 1t is
estimated that other bOunties paid by State
Governments, countless towns, corpora
tons, &C., will swell the amount expended,
beyond the legitimate payment Of soldiers
wages and outfit in raising volunteers,
under the Presidents call for 100000, to
fifty millions,
