day after day, to my heart as | have occa.
sion, in this campaign, to traverse our
magnificent country. On Monday night
left my home in Cincinnati; trayersed the
state Of indiana; traverscd the state of
Illinois; spent the day yesterday in the

your own magnificent state, and | cannot
help being struck with tho immensely of
their resources, with the granduess Of their

that recollection comes one Of admiration
for that Ofthe government which has been
able to combine together these powerful
communities, the elements of these people,
Of these customs, Of these institutions, into
harmony in one people and one government.

feared the influence Of consolidated power {;
they put behind them all the allurements Of
material pomp; they trod under foot all the
were contented with the simplicity of q con.
federated union; they were brought together
as representatives Of colonies which were
then lew IN numbers, sparse in population,
poor IN wealth, but spread over an immense
amount of territory. They extended from
Massachusetts to Georgia, and from the sea
even to the Allegheny mountains. There
were agricultural states, there we're com.
merelal states, there were planting states ;
there were large states and small states ;
there were slave holding states and non.
slave-holding states And vet these dele.
gates from all Of them came together to form
a constitution for these states united. They
had tried simple confederation, and the
experiment had proved unsuccessful. They
had srled to produce unity Of government,
put they found that it was impossible

OF dissolution; three times the wisest men
| among them thought it was impossible to
solve the difficult question. At last thew de-

States, the constitution as we have it TO-
day; and the foundation principle of that
constitution is this; That their national
and Interstate affairs shall be committed to

limits of its powers it shall be supreme lint
that all the internal affairs Of the states oil
the regulation of their domestic concerns
shall be left to the people Of the stats them.

Sheriff O'Brien,s Letter.

Sheriff O'Brien's letter to Justice Shandley,
defending the scandalous outrage committed
by tho deputies in their attempt to arrest Mr.
Harkins at the Broadway theatre last Monday
evening, betrays an inexcusable ignorance of
the limitations Of responsibility. The Sheriff
says:-'I consider myself the responsible per-
son in the premises, and am prepared to stand
the blame, if any, of the whole transaction. I"
Now it is for the District Attorney, not for the
Sheriff, to decide who is responsible" in this
case. It is manifestly work Of supereroga-
ton, to say the least, for Sheriff O'Brien to
assume responsibility and to endeavor to stay
the proceedings against his subordinates. In
due time he may with propriety be called upon
to render his testimony, but he cannot be justi-
fed in forestalling public opinion by such an
indecent interruption of the due course of law
as his letter to Justice Shandley must have
been intended to make. The Justice himself
deemed it premature to proceed with the ex-
animation of the case until the result of the
injuries sustained by the wounded persons had
been ascertained. He evidently agreed with
tho public sentiment that the offence of the
officers in overstepping their duty and imperil-
ling the lives of innocent persons is more
serious than it seems to be in the eyes of the
Sheriff. The evidence which will be adduced
will enable the public to understand better
than at present the full merits of the case but
there can be but one opinion as to the imperti-
nent and inopportune interference of Sheriff
OBrien's letter.

The Rocky Mountains-A Trip for Mr..
Seymour.

General Grant has had q run since his nomi-
nation among the Indians, miners and fresh
air of the Rocky Mountains. Speaker Colfax,
Grants associate on the republican ticket, is
of, or will soon leave, for the cooling streams
Of Colorado, and thence, perhaps, through to
California. General Blair, the democratic
candidate for Vice President, at the latest re-
ports was very near the end Of the Pacific
Railway, as far as laid, in the Rocky Noun
tains; and so of the two Presidential tickets
only Mr.. Seymour remains behind. This is
somewhat remarkable, considering that Sey-
mour is a hunter and fisherman, considering
the alth-giving air of the Plains and Rocky
Mountains, and considering the rare hunting
and fishing Gncluding bufaloes and IndianD
to be had on such an excursion. The skins Of
q bull buffalo or two, Utah wolf, o grizzly
bear and Rocky Mountain big horn Of his
own shooting would be valuable trophis
alongside those of the red deer and big moos
hanging in our ex-Governor's hall, and the
scalps of few hostile Cheyenne warriors
would make him indeed chief Of the big In
dians of the Tammany Wigwam. Why not, as
he is equipped for the warpath

DOiugs I'm Wall Street.

The great feature in Wall street yesterday
was the sharp recovery from the recent specu-
lativc decline in government securities, which
are undoubtedly the cheapest and safest in the
country, and the probability is that the present
reaction will carry them higher than they were
before the fall. The feature of the general
stock market was its increased frmness, ex
cept for Erie, which is still dropping but il is
fair to say that the heavy decline of the last
few weeks in the stock is wholly unconnected
with the present management, and attributable
to spectators who have been actuated in part
by their hostility to the company. The steady
demand Tor the stock of the Pacific Mail Com
pany, which has been felt for some weeks past
resulted yesterday in an advance in its price
to 1854; and as number of wealthy stock
holders have combined with view to termi-
mating the opposition on terms mutually advan-
tageous to both companies, it is probable that
their efforts will be successful by the time of
the next annual election in October. As It is,
both companies are doing losing business,
and the sooner they accept the proposed
arrangement the better fof their stockholders.

revolt OF the people at the polls against repub-
hcan rule Is 30 much clear purpose that it
VIII not lose impetus while its cause remains
in action. We see how effective in Maine are
now the same ideas that in the past year have
given so many States to the democracy And
these ideas are of constant application and
force There is no community in the country
that does not equally denounce as intolerable
the burdens that radical fury, folly, blundering
and corruption have put upon the people.
Upon what can the radicals count if Maine
goes against them? They may get Massachu-
sets and South Carolina.

THE CAMpAreN. Presidential canvass
on both sides, all over the country, North,
South, East and West, is beginning to be very
lively. Mass meetings, torchlight professions,
the raising of party poles and banners are
rapidly multiplying in every direction. So far,
too. we are gratifed to say, lawless outbreaks
and violent collisions between the opposing
parties have been comparatively few. The
prevailing spirit seems to be the spirit OF law
and order everywhere. We hope and think II
likely that the campaign to the end will be con-
Quoted in this spirit, and that the peace
and order of the grand election day in Novem-
Der will be as universal as in the election o.
1864 in the midst of the war. Why notH
