WASHINGTON, Feb. %. The Secretary of
the Nav, officially reports to the Senate, that
the disabling of the Ossipelle, resulted from the
cutting of the cylender side valves, caused by
the softness Of the iron, which was very badly
fitted. Fourteen huls IF vessels have been fit
ted on this plan, and have similar machinery,
of which eight have been tried, two only giving
way. The trouble with the Osslpelle and the
Junietta, was because their builders were mex
psrienced, and had neither proper shop, tools,
mechanics or engineers.

gers of OF q Russo American alliance. Ihe
extravagant and exhorbitant courtesles Lately
bestowed upon simple visitors from despotlc;

themselves republicans are Sickening to ny
heart. and make me almost despair OF the

+ HAs to his idea about the guarantee,
that is equally preposterous. r 1t applies
only to a State of this Union,n whilst the
basis of his whole argument is that the
eleven States, by their admitted void at
tempt at secession have wholly ceased te
be States, But waving this obvious ami.
hilation Of his argument, no sane man will
contend that the implied power could be
carried out-the guarantee of Republican
government would be fulfilled, by placing
over the State despotism, whether Congres
sional or other. No form of despotism is a
Republican form of Government, within the
meaning of the Constitution. -
"We have not space now to speak in
appropriate terms of the infamy of the pro-
gramme thus distinctly avowed. We shall
content ourselves for the present with ap-
plying to it, much more appropriately than
he does, some of Senator Summers own cpl
thets of. denunciation which he has so 'sa-
vagely proclaimed on this occasion In
the name of Heaven let us spare ne effort
to save the country from this shame. 1t
is brutal pretension thus famingly ad-
vanced.' There must be no chance or loop
hole for such an intolerable, Heaven-defy-
ing iniquity.' ALAS there have been crimes
in human history; but none blacker than
this. There have been acts of baseness,
but none more utterly vile.'" lao
