The Confusion of TOngueS-AS-
founding Disclosures.

The Generalization of the Abolition par
ty consequent upon the patriotic course of
the President, presents theme, not only
worthy of the most immense congratula-
tion, but in some of its aspects, well cal
culated to excite those organs which mani
fest themselves in laughter. 1t is always
more or less ludicrous to behold spectacle
wherein unexpected Interruption has pre-
cipitated unexpected failure! The impul-
ses of the moment in cuch cases-especial-
ly when developed multitudinously, as in
the instance we are considering-7are all
ways as good as play, and frequently bet
ter. Even the grand tragedy of a sinking
ship freighted with human life, Is thus
rendered semi-eomcal in deLalls Some
pray, and others, it is said, swear; some
rush frantically hither and thither, and
others are transllxed and motionless; some
are wildly and incontinently garfulous,
while others are dumb with horror, and so
on. Few, indeed, are able to preserve their
presence of mind, and behave nationally.
1t may be said that men are quite as likely
to be fools upon impulse, as they are to be
towards upon instinct, andthatwhen cali

From the New York Evening Post, Republ
The Power Of Removal from OF.

If there is any one point which our IA
theirs intended to settle by the Constitution
they adopted, it is that there should be a
Government of the United States.
They had tried the Articles of Confedera-
tiOn, and found that they did not answer
the ends of national existence, because they
did not endow the central organization with
the proper functions of Government. 1t
could neither raise money so as to afford
security to the national credit, nor raise
armies so as to protect the national honor,
nor compel the obedience of individuals to
its laws so as to preserve domestic peace
aud order. The Government established
by the Constitution has effected all these
objects. 1t was put in operation by men
who were fully conscious of what was
wanted, and entirely in sympathy with the
wishes of the people, that it should possess
and exercise all the functions which the
experience of mankind had found to be
essential tothe Government ofa great nation
of free and patriotic people. ........
What has come to us of the discussions OF
| that day, both in the Convention and among
the people, shows the difficulty there was
| in racOnCiling so many minds, OF such
diverse habits, to an agreement on the most
essential Details and may explain the rea-
son why so many points were lett unsettled,
and so many others had to be determined
| by adjudication, in reconciling provisions
which might seem more or less in conflict
with each other. A consideration OF the
vastness of the scope required, or aslight
ACQUAINTANCE with the history OF leg
! islation, would assure one, prtOrt, of the
| practical impossibility of making code
which should define everything, and sup
ply rule for every case. In fact, the franz
| ers of the Constitution were compelled to
employ sometimes the most general terms,
| and to leave the exact boundary between
rules to be determined by usage and the
necessities of the case. Iu-'
1t is not a blemish, but an advantage,
that the meaning of the Constitution and
the extent of the powers which it has con-
| ferred are subject to a progressive develop
meut, so that still, as new eXigencies arise,
new powers are discovered, adequate to the
/ wants of the time. Through so many trials
of its competency, the Government organ
zed by the Constitution has been found
ADEQUATE to its own preservation, and sut-
ticient to command the resources. of the
nation, to preserve peace, to repress vio-
Ilence, and to vindicate the national honor.
The same infleXible determination of the
people to have national Government,
which produced the present Constitution,
controlled also the early.eonstruction and
application of its provisions. Accepting

State COnyenIiOn-The Coming
Campaign in Ohio.

The Ohio Democratic State Convention
meets at Columbus on Thursday of this
week, to place in nomination a State ticket.
The Offices to be flied are Secretary of
State, Supreme Judge and Member of the
Board OF Public Works. Considering the
fact that there is no Governor to be nomin-
ated, and that only three State offices of any
grade are to be filled, the Convention bids
fair to be largely attended. This arises from
the very deep and natural interest felt in
transpiring political events which are
to settle tor veal or woe the destiny of
our country. In securing a favorable de-
cisiOn of the questions now before the
country every good citizen has q duty
to perform that is of far higher
Importance than the mere question of Of
flee. lie is to vote in such a way as to up
hold the arms of those who are striving to
prevent the overthrow OF the Union and
the establishment OF a central deSpOtiSm.-
This is the great duty every voter is called
upon to discharge, and it may well arouse
the noblest efforts he is capable of render
ing. The contest will gain additional in
terest and importance from the fact that
nineteen Congressman are to be chosen,
and in making choice of these. all who wish
the country brought back to tranquility
and the States restored Ito their practical
relations to the Government will have an
opportunity of aiding, in that great work
by voting for men WHO will 90 to Washing
ton and aid the President1u mis- honest eff
forts TO effect those objects. .-PlaiH Dealer.

The great issue before the people is,
whether all the powers of Government
shall be concentrated in the hands of the
General Governmeut-the States being re-
duced to the condition of counties-and
consolidated despOtism be thereby estab-
lished; or, whether those rights of local
selt-government which onr fathers enjoy
ell and which we inherited from them, and
without which there can be no real liberty,
no wise government, no public economy,
no light taxation, shall be preserved
A powerful faction, represented by ma
iority in Congress, have conspired to over
throw the free and benetlcent institutions
of our fathers, and to substitute therefor an
Oligarchy of privileged classes, crushing
the mass of the people and all individual
liberty, under the weight of despotic and
unrestricted General Government. To eff
feet this object they, in plain violation of
the Constitution, exclude eleven States
from representation in Congress, and insist
upon comforting upon negroes the right
to vote-not out of regard to the negro,

with their money, to control his vote, and
thereby perpetuate their party ascendency.
Let every man who is opposed to the
schemes of the conspirators, who cherishes
the institutions founded by our fathers,
who appreciates the necessity and benefits
of local self-government, who is opposed to
seeing the great State of Ohio shorn of her,
dignity and reduced to the dependent con-
ditiOn of county, or who is opposed to
Negro Suffrage, join with the Democracy

BILE murder committed in York, Livings-

Oregon McGregor murdered his brother
Hugh with an axe, inficting as many as
dozen gashes upon the body and face. A
sister discovered the murdered man q
short time after the crime was perpetrated.
Oregon fed. but was arrested ut Geneseo
next day. He says he had ~premeditated
the crime for some time. Tho family
have always been very peculiar. The
oldest brother, a few years since, hung
himself, and Hugh at n time tried to
commit suicide in the same way, but was
discovered and cut down. Hugh and
Gregor spent nearly half their time in the
woods, eating and sleeping there, and the
oldest inhabitants were hardly acquainted
with them. Frequently, when persons
were passing by, and either Hugh or
Gregor were about, they would stoop
down behind the fence and peep through,
and if any one approached them they
would run away.

Methodists are making much Of their CEN

sect are gratefully brought to remem-

took place at John street Methodist church
in New York. An interesting feature in
the meeting was a display Of relics by the
venerable Father Bangs, who said In
olden times they always commenced
meeting at early candle light. Here are

MYSTERIOUS DIsAPrBARANcE EXPLAIN

of our community were greatly exercised
abou. the mysterious disappearance Of
Debernardi Pietro, one Of their country
men, aged 20 years, who. between o set
ting and rising Of the sun, had most unac-
countably vanished. Strong suspicious
of foul play were entertained /; nearly all
the dead bodies found floating IN the bay
were visitcd-and still no tidings Of the
missing man could be obtained. All hope
of ever seeing him again in the land Of the
living had long ago fed from the minds Of
his re~latjves-and acquaintances, when yes
terday q letter from the unfortunate De-
bernardi-through the U. s. Consul at
Hilo, Hawaii-apprised his friends that
he had been drugged In San Francisco,
shanghaed, and had involuntarily sailed
the "deep blue sea" on board the whale
ship Martha, and discharged at that in
teresting port, a sadder and wiser man
in a marine point of views. F. Aka.

SEVERAL of u exchanges have lately

employment suitable to his capacity. We
have never been able to find any one who
knew anything about the management OF
the Associated Press; but, If that institu-
ton has any responsible head, he owe it
to the press Of the West to see that this
abominable and disreputable nuisance is
abated, or corrected. We believe the
operators do their work faithfully and
well. Let the preparation Of the dis.
paches be intrusted TO competent hands,
who will procure the news and end it
forward in decent shape, and with regard
to quality instead of quantity. We bad

Moses Taylor, Captain Blethen, will sail
for the East on the 10Th of August. This

by our agent in San Francisco to state
that the following low rates Of fare will
be charged on the next trip of the Moses

certainly very cheap, and credit is due to
