have long been bent upon thrusting the
exercise Of Federal power into the domes-
tic concerns of the States, and who will
welcome any exercise OF military force
that promises to secure the triumph Of
their party. The thin dsguises Of this
proclamation cannot cover up the mon
strous design that is behind 1t; nor can
they conceal from the people the utter
impossibility OF q fair expression at the
polls OF the popular will OF q state,
when the Federal Government places the
army in that State, on the pretence Of q

the exercise of the right Of suffrage. Even
in hands the most impartial and disinter-

would be liable to great abuses. In the

There is one other point OF view from
which the prominence of the English ship
ping interest may be regarded. 1t appears
from an analysis Of nautical statistics for
the past year that, with the exception of
Norway. which most persons will be sur
prised to hear now ranks rs the third
maritime power on EARTH England alone
is competent TO convey the larger part Of
her imports and exports in her own bot
toms. Germany aud France arc each de-
pendent OH foreign vessels for two-thirds
OF their commerce. The fleets OF Holland
which once cngrossed the carrying trade
of Europe are now scarcely aole to under
take quarter of the Dutch traffic. Tho
change in our own case is almost equally
memorable The ratio of native to foreign
ships among the arrivals and clearances in
the ports of the United States for 1850 was
twelve to Ave. 1t is now seven to sixteen.
II results from these details, coupled
with such meagre data ne we possess re-
speeding Russia and the Iberian peninsula,
that the merchant navies of Great Britain
and the United States are more than
match for the joint maritime forces of all
other countries on the globe. 1t follows,
likewise, that IL the pressure OF impending
events shall depose England from her po-
sition as the common carrier OF nations, the
succession to that lucrative function is as
sured, beyond peradventure, to this coun-
try. We offer natural entropot for tho
commerce of both hemispheres, and no
where are better facilities afforded for the
creation OF vast mercantile marine.
Should we now have the good fortune to
recover our former ascendancy at sea, it Is

Centennial Vampires.

Our friends from the interior coming
up next month to the Centennial, must
expect to find many salient points in the
Exhibition of which no hint has been
given them in the programme, or even
in newspaper reports. Where the prey
is, there will the vultures be gathered to-
gether; and even at this early date Phila-
delphia is the central point toward which
not only pickpockets and ruffians of the
baser sort are bending their steps, but
the higher class of confidence men and
women, that happy-go-lucky, audacious
intelligent gang who hover on the con-
fines of society, like robber-crabs, living
on their wits and the stupidity of other
people. The Worlds Exhibitions in 9TH
er countries have always attracted these
professional freebooters, and they appear
to be especially sanguine of success in
this country, where money is supposed
to be plenty and innocence msuspiciOus.
Strange women in foreign attire already

London detectives. who arrived last week
declare that they meet as many faces IA
miliar to the ROgues' Gallery in Chestnut
street as they would in the Strand. The
neighborhood ofthe Centennial buildings
is set with every inducement to vice;
private houses are besieged by new va
rieties of tramps and shameless beggars.
As the crowd increases, the temptation
and chances of plumber will attract more
of these outlaws. We warn our country
friends that they will need to sharpen
their wits for other purposes than that
of sight seeing. The devices of the evil
