":cpuJ! leans' nid School 'Tories.' Kvcry j cr.o;i vlio lias carefully oLscrV" cd tLe olitical opinions of tlic so-callct ;'llejuiljlicnn" or "Union" leader?, duriui; flic past four year?, will liav tccn tlio close resemblance which exists between ; them ami the adherents to the royal cause; when the thirteen United states ot America were struggling lor their independence. Kvcry feature which distinguished a! republican form of government from a monarchy was then ridiculed and con demncd by those who were popularly kuowa as Tories; and every feature which distinguishes a monarchy from a government by the people, to-daty, is approved and promoted by those who, under the name of republicans, now claim to be the especial friends of the government. The political maxim. "The government ' is made for the benefit of the people, not the people for the pleasure oT the government," was then, as it is now, condemned as radically wrong. That governments are merely the agents of the people, was then, as it is now, pronounced a dangerous heresy. That governments owe obedience to the legally expressed will of the people was then, as it is now, pronounced treasonable; Yhile a silent obedience to all the measures of the government, at all time, was pronounced at that time, as it is at the j present, the highest and holiest law. J hat the government was above a hrr cither fundamental or statutory then as now, w;s practically coodrr.r(j llIKjUc tiouable; and those Vr.o denied or doubted, were then, as Tnoy are now, denounced as disloyal r.-i criminal. ;vt, but nut Last, the government instcal of the people, was declared to l o the sovereign, to whom every person within the jurisdiction of the government, it was said, owed at all time.?, an implicit and unalloyed alh;gianc-?j while the unrestrained will of the government was pronounced the supreme Luv; 'and whoever rjuestioncd that extreme monarchical tenet was denounced, as he is now denounced, as a rebel and a traitor. Prominent among the conflicting .sentiments of the day, as it still is, even in America, was the tenure of membership in the State, or citizenship in other words, the basis of a man's right to participate in public affairs, as a member of the Societ' or Commonwealth. The 1 liferent colonists, following the precepts learned fruin the lathers, insisted that membership in the society or bodypolitic should be controlled by the society itself, and generally that it should accompany taxation that there should be no taxation without representation. On the other hand, the loyal colonists, in harmony with the government, "at home," denied the existence of any such right, and they instanced the case of the inhabitants of Manchester, one of the heaviest manufacturing towns in J'nirland, the greater number or whose inhabitants were entirely disposesscd of the right of suffrage. At the same time, while they claimed that all were subjects, they insisted on the right of the government to determine who sluuld and who should not be citizen. In like manner the peculiar loyalists of to-day assume that the government, instead of th body-politic or commonwealth, hal control the right of suffrage. They admit the existence of the several States of the Union, as they were in 1800-thc intervening period bcir.g, by them, considered an interregnum and they acknowledge, as far as suits 'their purposes, both the (.'onstitutiou for the llnited States and those for the several States; yet in the face of the provisions of all tuese, they :isiimc that not the Congress of the United States nor even the federal government, as such, bet one department of that government, "the President of the United States," possesses the sole right whenever he shall be pleased to exercise that riijit, to grant to those who arc not members of a State, or to withdraw from those who are recognized and loyal numbers of a State, their right to partieiate in its business, agreeably to its own laws. All this, aud more, we are told, can be done by "the President of the United State.,'' whenever lie will, and either with or without a nominal reason indeed it can be doue, they tay, without the authority of any law or the precept ol any court, and in open and uudoubted defiance of both. It was said, some years since, by one of those who professed to know, and who did know what was AVhigismand what was Toryism, that : 'A share in the sovereignty of the Stale, which is exercised by the citizens at large, in voting at elections, in ono of the most important rights of tho subject; and in a republic ought to fdand f remost in the estimation of the law. It n that right by which wo exist as a free people, and it certainly, therefore, will never be admitted, that less ccrcnicry ought to be used
in divesting any citiicn ofthat right than in depriving him of his properly. Such a doctrine would ill suit the principles of the Involution , which taught the inhabitants of this country to ri-k their lives and fortunes in asserting their liberty, or, in other words, their right to share in the government. That portion of the sovereignty to which each individual is entitled can never be too highly prized. Jt is that for which we have fought and bleu; and wc sdiouhl carefully guard ngainst any precedents, however they may be immediately directed against those wc hate, which may, in their consequences, render our title to this great privilege precarious.Here we may find the criterion to distinguish the genuine from the pretended Whi::. The man that would attack that right, in whatever way, is an enemy lo Uhigism." Works, v ii., p-31G. Wc leave to our readers, or those of them who have examined the proclamation of the President of the "United States" defining the rights of the citizens ot recognized Stales, within those State.?, and designating who. of their mcmbex's, shall vote and who shall not voto, the application of thi-5 apt opinion of Col. Hamilton, whose inclination led him to promote rather than to discourage, the cause of consolidation and concentration of authority and to oppose that of the confederated republic. Wc leave it with Ihem; and wc hope that each will ask himself, and answer the question truthfully, "Wherein, if at all, arc we different ro-dny from those who, in January, 1770, struck the first blow for freedom, on Golden Hill; and wherein, if at all, are these who assume to rule ever us, to-day, different from 'the Ministry,' whoso hirelings received that blow, and who, during nearly fourteen year:-, f ought in vain to paralvze the arm wh'ch struck it?"

It was his freedom which was rejoiced over, and not that of the nation. It was not so much the c.mai.Cipatioit of the United States fron colonial vassalacre that awoke the enthusiasm of the people on Tucs-bv, f.sit was the emancipation of r. v.:: r ii ....i oiii Samums oi negroes, -vi me nauuuai uapilal lllU mi Uin:i ViiiKi. ui iiiu .-..- by negroes; a:d in most other places the observance was on account of the negroes. This is au afilicted nation. We a-j-ila-ted the negro for a score or more of year?, and then fought over the negro for four years longer, and almost .solely for the negro wc spent two-thirds of our entire wealih as a people aud sacrificed half a million lives. Uue would think that after wc had done this much for the negro we are entitled to a respite. iat tii 'e is none. To-dav the ncirro is the or.: thing in every man's mouth from the gulf lo tlie St. Lawrence. The entire pi ess of the country is wrangling over the nejro; 3otou philanthropists arc holdieg teeret meetings and arranging plan with refer ; to the negroand a chief j vu'iee of United States Supreme court has just luded a loiWhcnod tour anion - the" ence the I cone negroes. It is everywhere nigger. At tho south masters are combining against the negro, and provost marshals are employed exclusively in issuing orders with reference to negro. In the north the negro is in the pulpit, on the street cars, at the fireside. The New York Tribune has three articles per diem in favor of the negro, and one with reference to the white man; ditto, the imitators of thoTridune all over the couns try. The Tribune and the Times talk of the Afriean, and the World and the Herald of the "nigger," and the same is true of all the other newspapers in the country. Orators arc shouting about the negro, politicians arc canvassing the fu.' uro with reference to tho negro; jreachers are advocating higher law for the benefit of the negro; and, in short, the whole country priests, newspapers, politicians, white, black, yellow; Fourth of July; Hail Columbia, and everything el.-c are "going it'' cxclusivclv on account of the nemo. Oh, wretched people tlkat wc are, who will deliver us from the foul bodv, not of death, but of worse than death of this African' The African inundates us. Inky Hoods pour over the nation and threaten us with another and a worse than Xoacbic cataclysm. The black delude dows through ourtdrcots, pours along the national avenues, aud encircles the altars of religion. The dog-days are upon us, and so is the ne gro. The heat of ono and odor of the other stifle us. Sirius dominates in the sky, and we pant for breath; the Afrite dominates on earth, and the country is asphyxiated with unclean odors. In Chicago every breeze from the south comes laden with Pridgcport and the negro. Scaulon tdough and the African commingle, and their effluvia falls upon the city like a hot blanket of stillin MIKMIS. 1 1 There is a chance in this country for philanthropy. There is a ood opening for abolitions. It is to relieve twentyeight millions of whites held iu a cruel bondage by four million blacks. It is a bondage worse than that of Heliotisni. It is one which retards ourgrowth, directs our thoughts, and absorbs our efforts, It drives us to war, it ruptures our tianquility, and threatens direlully our future' J here never was another such a race of slaves as we; there never was another people ground so completely iu the dust as this nation. Our regro masters crack their whins over our legislators and our priestn, and thus coutrol our laws and our relagion. They have established a tyranny over us worse than that of tho Pisistratds. It is time there was something dono for
these twenty-ebht millions of white slaves held in fetters by four millions of greasy, ilat-footed Afrbaos. Having labored and argued aud legislated and fought for these our masters for many years, it is time that wc should be emancipated and enjoy the fruits of our own labor. They have taken our time, our first-born, and our money freely, and it is no more than fair that wc should be permitted to husband our blood and resources for our own use Having first given them tribute to the aniouut of ten thousand millions of dollars, and over half a million lives, wc arc entitled to our freedom. Wc have earned it. We have paid the largest kind of a price, and it belongs to us. ut wc do not get it. The more wc do for our sable masters tho more exacting they are in their demands.

A friend at Washington assures us that a few weeks since an interview took place between President Johnson and Senator Sumner which was substantially as follows: "Good evening, Mr President," said Senator Sumner, last week, upon entering the Prcrvlont' roor in the White House. "Good evening. ,T. Senator." replied the J resident. ''Please be seated lbr a moment. ur.;':I T n;h a letter lo an old friend;' The letter being finished, the President 'turned to Mr. Sumner, when tho latter said: "Mr. President, I have called unon vou lor the purpose of expressing to you the views cf our people on the subject of re-constructio-j." "Well, sir," replied the President. Mr. Sumner comm: nerd 1 commenced by saving: a!jes 1,ot i f,le' ?,ul ll! does not meet the ::t;M'o; al'o.i of the i.eocy v."

"Then," said Surum-r, ".r m.t tke your North Carolina 'r ociani: tioa as an indication of your policy, must wc V "Ye.?, sir," replied the President. 'Then, nr." said Sumner, iyou do not intend to enfranchise the b: iek man?" I have nothing to do with tlie subject; that exclusively belongs to the States. You certainly would think it an usurpa tion on my part it I attempted to interfere !" üxin tho M-hGcatiou of electors ir, dsacliusctts.''b,ut' qcd Sumner, -Massachu setts has always been a loyal State. 'That may be," replied the President, "but the loyal men of the South have made untold sacrifices for their Union sentiments, while Massachusetts has made hundreds of millions out of her loyalty, aud it would be a poor return for Souths em adherence to the CJovcrnment, if the latter should, in violation of the Constitution, thrust upon them local laws in opposition lo their wishes." At this reply of the President, Mr. Sumner became impatient and irritable, and rejoined by saying, "I am sorry to sec you evincing so little sympathy with that element that placed you in power." At this tho color flushed to the President's face, and he added, emphatically, "Vou and 1 might as well understand each other now as any other time. You are awere, sir, I have no respect for secessionists; but, as I despise them, I still have a greater detestation and contempt for a fanatic." "Good evening," said Sumner, and left in a hu!'". Cincinnati Knquirer. G'el (hT That Mump. Among the paroled rebel soldiers who came up on the steamer Lady Gay, on Tuesday says the Cairo JD' hiomt', was a man a little over seven and a half feet in bight. He started out with the Missouri! troops at the commencement of the war, and stuck to thni until the "dog was dead" and never received a scratch. Soon after be was mustered into tLe rebel service the regiment to which he belonged appeared before the Colonel on dress parade, and the Colonel, who prided himself on the fine appearance an I good size of iiia men, cast his eyes along tlie line, with a smile of self-s.itiofaction until they rested ou the towering form of the tall MisEourian, when he knit his brows, and called out fiercely in thunder tones, "(iet oft' that stump, you impertinent scoundrel, or J'll order you under arrest." The soldiers looked at each other, wondering what the Colonel Meant, but no one moved Finding his authority treated with disrespect ho fairly boiled with rage, and advancing to the big soldier, he exclaimed, "What iu the d 1 are you slauding on?" The soldier respectfully replied, "Ou my feet, Colonel." The Colonel was completely taken aback, as he surveyed this tail specimen of humanity from head to foot in blank amazement; he mumbled au apology for his rude remarks and hastened away; leaving his men convulsed with laughter. "(Jet olf that stump," became a by-word with the Missourt rebels, and it will no doubt llvo as long as the long Miscouriau.
ScIf-2"rescrvaoii. The Ulack Republican press having exercised themselves for the past six months In nimwiifoir,.irt5 of flu" dissolution of the
Democratic party, arc now K-iuning to devote considerable attention to their own self-preservation. The Chicago Tribune, the Western light of that party, is now arguing as follows: "To preserve the Republican party, and to labor for a continuance of its ascendency in the nation, arc duties the fuil force of which we feel whenever we lookout upon the mad elements by which the peace aud honor of the country arc threatened. Uutwc would preserve it a vital. active organization, depending for its victories upon the strength of its principles and the loftiness of its appeals to the hearts and conscience of the people, not upon the , : i ' ti,, chicane ot its managers, or the uouuie wixa ,mi mumi y ui lis inn oui'. j.oc m; ,i i 4- r t necessity, then, m the preservation ot a party, is to sec that its creed has not been jt lili'i 11 1 niwrurilAH iiih tlinl i Vi:i il:rt v.r. mat rt-v i -tl 4i i . - i responds with the si. int and promises that ponus v.itn toe spirit ana promi led to its organization; hence, we warn the old political shysters and spoii-hu:i-ter?, like Forney and that tribe, who hang upon the skirts of power at Yi'ashington. that when they set up the cry that the party is in no danger, and that private opinion, no matter how widely or conscientiously entertained, roust give way before encroachments upon the party's most sacred principles, and upon its most cherished hopes, they arc misraken in the beginning they make, and that they will act the wiser part if they apply the corrective where they find the origin of the evil. The Pepnbliean party has not yet accomplished all the work that the people organized it to do; and we who abide by its spirit of freedom arc the ones to complain that its unity is threatened, and hence, that it is in danger of being overthrown. It shall not be without a struggle that tha earnest men of the country know how to make ! The responsibility for division aud defeat shall not be ours." SJuIIuess oT Traile In Kiclummd. From the Riehmond Whig, June 27. The depression of buisncss consequent upon the deficiency of money continues. Tlie supply of merchandise -of nearly every description is in excess of the demaud and priccs accordingly rule low at figures, in some cases below the northern m: rkets. The prevailing opinion is that the auctiou sales of groceries, &C., by forcing goods upon the markets, have brought down prices below the normal standard, and if continued will ruin, for a time, the trade of the city a result which all business men are interested in averting. Consequently several of the leading houses have determined to suspend the sales of merchandise at auction until the railroad communication with the interior is completed, and the grain erops of the current year are sold cr hypothecated. In other words, until money flows more frcclj, and competition becomes more active. A few articles of subsistence, smh as bacon and fish, are selling at remunerative prices The description of goods known as '-gutlcrs' stores" are olii off at very low figures, but the stocks are now nearly exhausted. The market is overstocked with liquors, and prices twenty-five per cent, below the invoice are obtained with dfiiculty. At an auctiou sale of crockery yesterday, the offerings, in small lots, were kuocked out at very moderate prices. HOW HitECXIIN RIDGE KsCArED. A Cardenas correspondent announces the arrival of Gen. IJreckinridge and other Confederate officers afthat place, aud thus describes their manner, reception, and other incidents: "The persons accompanying Ureckiaride are Colonel Wibon, e-aid to Jeff.

3lai; Ifcfeclcd in Female Gufc. From the Cleveland Herald. About two months ago a young girl of pleasing loots am address came here HUUl J.U1A. -'lJ. .It 1UM Mie Ulli duty as a hotel waiter, and afterward, through some means or other, got a situation at the Yarictic?, where she presided over the cigar stand. There her good looks and winning ways obtained her numerous customers, and she drove a brisk business. In many cases her fascinated patrons refused to take any change, and thus "Miss Addie" for that was her name throve apace in her own right, and managed to pick up any amount of pin money. Addie's admirers, from the first, were numerous: but eventually they bej gan to besiege her in droves, so that often the cigar stand would draw better than the stage itself. She was an accomplished coquette, and thus had a smil for each and every one of the crazy crew at her feet. Her smiles were bv no means confined to the young, for gray hairs were found worshipping at her .shrine as often as tlie fair locks of youth. Among ihose who wood Iter were old bachelors, aud Young America, and men of family, and widowers, and brainless lops and boys whose chins had not even made the acfjuaintence of down. And the attentions to which she was treated were by no means confined to the wordy class. No, indeed ! substantial in abundance fell to her lot. Old Mr. So-and-so gave her a new dress, and "old bach" So-aud-so presented her with several pairs of pockethandkerchiefs, and Fast So-and-so sent her two pair ot silk gaitors, and several pairs of Alexanders Lest while Master S. aud so gave her an order for a new bonnet. Then, too, scarcely a day passed that she was not taken cut to ride behind a pair of .fast nags, with all the usual accessories oi" ice cream, strawberries and cream, Kornanpunch, etc Thus things weut on from the t:rnc of her appearauce to the Yarieties in this ro. cate way until a few days ago, when the astounding discovery was made that "Miss Addie" was a mau I Of course the manager and her crowd of admirers were both astounded, and inclined to doubt their senses: but in spite of all it tarne 1 out that he was a man.

In luct he looks as much as a women when in male attire as when dressed iu bonnet and gown . In X.

The pros c-nt fathom of selecting odd phrases and mottoes as tlie titles for nov els is open to much ridienle. A correspondent of the Rochester Democrat has sent the following as the result of the cursory perusal of a publii-hcr's circular: Delial," feeling somewhat "Alone in the World," bethought himself of taking a stroll.

Tier e, a3 it were, advancing "Against Wind aud Tide," he spied "Be neath the Surface " "Breakers Ahead." This was "A Bad Beginning" a kind of "Notice to Quit;" so he turned into "Belferest," and encountered "Some Famous Girls (both "Black aud White') who. have since become "Famous Women." He was introduced to "A Woman of Spirit by a Wo-naa Without." He beheld "Fleanor's Yictory" and "Christian's Mistake." and heard "Carry's Confession.'"

Mr. Ccusius, of London, has invented a pump by which cattle can water themsoivcs without human aid. The water ii forced up by the weight of the animal operating on a platform which sinks down a certain distance by its weight, causing the water to rise in the pump and toilow out, to'thj extent of three pailslul. As soon as one has slacked its thirst, anotner takes its place on the platform, which brings up another supply, and so on till all the flock arc watered. This is a labor saviug affair, certainly.
