-< ~ WASHINGTON CITY: MONDAY ........00-+-+--ee00s July 20, 1857. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union, in giving the report of the Grand Jury upon the election riots, says: «<The report is commendably brief, clear, and concise in its statements, and {x entirely free frout partisan feeling of any kind.” t In an article upon “ The Northern Demoora- ey and their Calumniators’’ the Union says: « It will not be denied by the extremists of both sections of the Union that the record of the De mocracy of the North ts a record of unfaltering, » uninterrupted devotion tothe Union, the Consti- tution, and the laws—of common rs, com> ‘mon disasters,and common triamphs with their brethren of the South—and of hefoic, self- sacrificing exertions in behalf of the kg baer | the States and the constitutional! rights of allt! members of our glorious confederacy. Ex; to the malignant and unrelenting opposition of fanatics demagezues at home for the nation- ality of their views, they have supported the prin- ci of their party with an ardor which could be cooled defeat and a fidelity which - not a jot or tittle in the hour of triumph and confident repose.”’ The Intelligencer devotes several columns to the doings at the anniversary celebration on the 16th instant, of the Phi Beta Kappa Soci- ety of Howard University, and in so doing takes Occasion to remark : “There are no le, in our own country or elsewhere, that we know of, who so habitually and happily relieve by occasions of rational fes- tive enjoyment their unsurpassed devotion to the varied pursuits of business as the people of New England, and those of that hive of industry, Bos- ton, in particular. Among the higher order of thelr recreations are their annual literary, acade- mic, and collegiate festivals, always marked by heartiness and by displays of inteflectual culti- vation, wit and eloquence, nowhere in the world no blended and diffused through a mass equally Pfactical, pains taking and thrifty ” —_—_ +2 The Visit of the Western Excursionists. The Baltimoreans seem to have bad rather a grand time Saturday over their reception of the Western visitors. The excursionists arrived at Benwood, on the Virginia side of the Ohio river, at three o'clock on Friday afternoon. It had been designed to bring them on some hours earlier, but the de- rangement of the locomotive used on the Little Miami Road caused a detention of six hours. ‘Phe delay having reudered it necessary to run the excursionists through ou express time in order to bring them to Baltimore in season, the trains were soon in motion and passing rapidly on- Wards, and at | p. m_, the trains arrived at Cum- berland, followed soon after by the regular ex- press train. From Cumberland the trains sped on rapidly and safely, passing each station on lime. Every precaution was adopted to render the running of the three trains—two excursion and one reguiar— in such close connection, without danger. and the result was another triumph to the road At the Relay House the Citizeus’ Commitice of Reception, and the Committee appointed by the Boaid of Trade were in waiting. having gone Out in the seven o'clock tiain Shortly after eight o'clock the whistle of the locomotive was heard. and the two excursion trains, composed of four- teen carts, came in sight At Wo'clock the excursionists again took the cars and the train, now thrown into one, with the locomotive and cars gaily decorated with flags, moved onward (o Baltimore. As the train neaied the city-the prepardtions for the reception cere- monies began to demonstrate to the visiters the earnestness of the welcome awaiting them. Groups of people were formed at different points on the outskirts, and from the windows of the houses welcomes were waved to the excu -*. At 10% o'clock the train entered the@amden street depot, amidst the checring of thoithousands who had gathered there. ‘ Along military and civic proce at the depot, and at 11 o’clock «ity of march to the Maryland Jnstite densely crowded, and where-add re de- livered of welcome and reply-by Mayer Swann, Mr. Hottman, chairmaw of the balgimore c zens’ committee ; Mr. ‘TayfSr, Président of the City Council of St. Loft Gov.

At the close of the reception remonies the Guests were re-conducted to the carriages in wait- ing and conveyed to Barnum’s Hotel, the Gilmor House and the Eutaw House, where quarters had been prepared for them. Tm the evening there was a grand display of fireworks in Monument Square, and afterwards an extensive round of serenading. An interesting account of to-day’s doings will ‘be found in our Editorial correspondence. Gov. WaLker’s PRoctamatiox.—Governor Walker's proclamation has been received at St Louis. Its issue grew out of a circular of the committee on the part of the citizens of Lawrence favoring submission to the popular vete of the city charter,essentially differing from that granted by the territorial legislature, and setting at defi- ance the territorial government. ‘This action Gov. Walker pronounces treasonable, and has ordered a body of troops to the vicinity to pre- vent further proceedings and enforce law. The statement that Gov. Walker designs, through this movement, to keep the army at Kansas, on pretext that the Administration will back out of the Utah expedition is a mere speculation. ——— From Mexico.—The New Orleans papers con- tain Vera Cruz dates tothe7th instant.

Tae Cornroration’s Trip.— 7 [ Editorial Correspondence of The Stari} On tHE Battiwope Cars, } i Mowpar, Jity 20-8 a. m. The “early birds’’ only of thehenorable and dignified Councils of M9 city are at their places on the train this ig, in put- suance of their resolve om Friday.evening last to participate im the festivities of the day in Baltimore, in honor of the Railroad visitors of the latter city from the West. Some of them went on last evening, while others could not resist the soft inducement of the early morning nap’; so, ag in the case of their never-to-be-for- gotten Ashland\(Slash Cottage) trip, full'Boards When the clock struck six, the train didn’t budge—the engine was off the track. This ac- sident afforded the Messieurs Trop Tavd of the venerated bodies an opportunity to reach the depot, puffing and blowing, in time to get aboard the dilatory train. Ardent were the congratu- lations at having saved their distance with which they were received, as, with collars and vests thrown open, and perspiration streaming down their handsome but somewhat flushed countenances, they rushed into seats and com- menced fanning themselves amid the clatter of the tongues of their more prompt compeers, who were discussing their own arrangements for the day, and puzzling their so proverbially unmuddied brains over schemes for the best plan to give those who are to be our city’s guests to-morrow the best possible time on’t, with the least possible. exertion on our part— the usual 2/timea thule of all such affairs ex- peeted by the public to be carried out by mid- die-aged men deeply immersed in active busi- ness. It appeared to us that, intuitively as it were, they had voted themselves an oratorical com- mittee of the whole, in order to take the shine off all the many municipal councils with whom they expect to hob-nob in the course of the day; each of which, according to the programme in to-day’s Suz, had selected an “ orator’ to re- spond in their behalf to ail the highfalutin that might possibly be leveled at their respective cities in the course of the long trip in the mid- dle of which they are now in Baltimore. Yes, al! of our honorable and public-spirited Councils, by whom I am now surrounded, seem ambitious to excell each his fellow in doing the talking of to-day’s oceasion—judging from the manuer in which each is putting in his var in the discussion of the contemplated arrange- ments for the day and the morrow, about which no one appears to have definite information The locomotive got on the track, and the excur- sion got off after three quarters of an hour's tugging at aud sweating—and the usual modi- cum of swearing—over the jack-screws, levers. &c., applied to right the iron-horse on the track. We are now approaching Beltsville at a speed of some 35 miles per hour, to make up for time lost by the accident mentioned above. Here and there one or two of my honorable charge—for the Star is universally voted the dry nuree of the Corporation of Washington— are looking askant at me, as, pencil in hand, I am evidently bent on immortalizing them (in my solicitous care for their fame) eomewhat in advance of the commencement of the day’s cere- monies. Here we are at Beltsville, so I must close this lotter, in order to send it back to Washington by a momentarily expected freight train. W. D. W—a. Harp Nawes.—We know nothing more to be deplored, just now, than the resort to hard names among the members and presses of the Democratic party at the South, over the Kansas question. The opponents of the idea of submit- ting the constitution to the people commenced it, and more or less indisereet friends of that policy seem inclined to meet their crimination with recrimination. We cannot perceive how the slightest benefit can result to any individual interest or cause from it. Nine-tenths of those who originally opposed the plan of submitting the constitution to the people of Kansas are not opponents, but friends—sincere friends—of the Administration. Knowing nothing whatever of the existing condition of affairs in Kanzas. and being entirely ignorant of the truth concerning the Administration’s policy there, they took ground against that policy under the influence of insufficient or mistaken information. They are fast vindicating the integrity of their devo- tion to the principle of the Kansas-Nebraska act, and of their allegiance to the present Na- tional Administration (whose elevation was in great part the result of their own labors, and for which they cherish kind sentiments.) by abandoning their late position against its (the Administration’s) policy in Kansas, which al- ready enjoys the unanimous support of the pro- slavery party in the Territory, as well as of all other Democrats there. Some few journals nominally Democratic, evidently disposed on personal grounds to quarrel with the Adminis- tion, have, of course, seized upon the current Kansas embroglio as an excuse for making war on the Administration, and in their columns we find vehement abuse coupled with their objec- tions. But nine-tenths of the Democratic newspa- pers of the South that have taken occasion to dissent from the turn things have taken in Kan- sas, have eschewed all such comments in their criticisms as might legitimately lead to the con- clusion that their disposition is to go into oppo- sition. They are rapidly coming up to their proper position on this subject, and we sincerely regret to find any journalists, who agree with us as to the importance of preserving the unity of the Democratic party in the next Congress, pub- lishing aught likely to irritate them and thus throw obstacles in the way of their speedy re- turn to an entire support of the National Ad- ministration, under a natural and excusable Soreness, it may be, caused by the unjustifiable attacks of those who, having been with us in the late Presidential election, have on personal grounds been ever since looking for an oppor- tunity to break with the Democratic party. The number of these latter are very few, in- deed. Too few to require recriminations to counteract their crimina’ + mnore especially when, to get into such controversy with them, is likely to excite in their behalf the sympathy of more or less honest and earnest well-wishers of the Administration who have invariably acted with the ultra Southern Rights wing of the party where Southern rights have heen in issue. We know that none were more earnest advocates of the election of President Buchanan than the Southern Rights Democrats; while we know as weil that President Buchanan is as de- sirous of their support as uf that of any other members of the great Democratic party. Although nothing can now prevent him from receiving it, our hope is that it will be prompt. full and frank ; and we regret to find sume few Journals that stand with us on the Kansas ques- tion, laboring in a way calculated rather to drive them off from where we all desire they should be found than to throw oil on the trou- bled waters. One great secret of success in Political affairs is to bear and forbear. The Practice of these two essentials has invariably Secured the triumph uf the right in previous interparty differences, where a contrary course would have made a wide. and for the future oF pr Democratic party, a disastrous breach in- eed. We trast that a contrary policy will be strict- ly guarded against in this case, as being just now likely to do much more harm than good. Our cause is a just and also a reasonable oné, and our policy is to rely altogether on showing our extreme Southern friends that we have right agid-common sense with us, in as mild and coneil i age as wecan cémmand, with- out giving toa threat or den tions@f evento asncer in reply to those ut! st us and our cause. By pursuing ——. until the first Monday. of eémber next, our life on’t we will most sure- ly detetithe of the three or four jnur- nals of the South that evidently aim to gemer- ate a split in the party which will end in be generation of a balance of power party in next Congress, taken off from the Democratic party of both Houses. Weip Sarw.—The Journal of Commerce, deservedly confided in and réspected through- out the Sotth, and always duly.considerate in all its views on public affairs, explains, with great force and justice and truth, the propriety of securing such a manifestation of the will of the people of Kansas upon their new constitu- tion in an article from which we make the fol- lowing extract, in the belief that our friends throughout the South will at a glance see the propriety of the Administration and Governor Walker in this matter : “The majority of the people must decide whether they will be a slave State er a free State. What is this but the great doctrine of State rights for which every true Democrat and friend of the Constitution and laws has contended for years ; which was the main plank in the Cine nnati plat- form, the principal issue in the great contest of 4856, and the basis of the Kansas-Nebraska act. the constitutionality of which has been recently attirmed by the highest judicial tribunal of the nation? Besides, there is nothing new or strange in the principle or its application. the older States, when a Ser is to be made in their er- ganic law, not only is the utmost care taken pres vious to the election of delegates of the Conven- tion to ascertain the opinions of the candidates, but when the Convention has concluded its la- bors, the result is required to be submitted to the people at the polls for their tinal ratification and approval. If the citizens of old settled States tind such, precautions necessary for their vale tion, it is not unreasonable that the settlers of a new Territory should enjoy a similar privilege, particularly in the case of Kansas, where barely a fifth of the registered electors voted for the Con+ stitutional delegates. and where it is believed a large majority of those who did not vote is polit- ically opposed to those who did, not to speak of those who will become fairly entitled to a vote. between now and next fall Tt is because Gover- nor Walker is determined to give ‘the whole people of Kansas security in freeand independent expression of their hy packs by their votes.’ and ‘leave them free from foreign interference (wheth- er foom New ey ree or Missouri,) to decide their own destiny for themselves, subject only to the Constitution of the United States.’ that he is denounced by the ultraists of the North and South, who seek not the Biota of popular sov- ereignty, but the supremacy of their own section- al views, and who only advocated that doctrine so long as the prattical test wax remote, or they had reasonable Lope of making its subservient to their partizan prejudices. These men are hos- tile to Governor Walker's policy ; but whu sup- Frrst, he is supported by a vote of for/y > by the Democratic Convention of tue ‘Ter- ritory, 4 majority of whom are known to be of pro-slavery opinions. Second. he is supported by the National Administration. in conformity with Whose express instructions he has acted; and third, by the candid, intelligent, peace-loving citizens of the entire Union, whose political creed is contained in the Cincinnati platform, and who elected James Buchanan to the Chief Magistracy of the Republic. Gov. Walker's mission was not to tlatter the prejudices or further the ends of any section or party, or to advocate or oppose the in- troduction of slavery. It was to hold the balance evenly between both parties, to promote conc ilia- tion and harmony, aud insist on the recognition of the right of people ‘to decide their own desti- ny for themselves.’ ‘The actual settlers of Kan- sas—pro-slavery as well as Free-soil men—who have witnessed the struggles throuzh which the Territory has passed, who have had abundant op- portunity to ertain her wants aud condition, and who are most capable of judging what 's best for their own juterests, endorse his policy and pledge them»rlves to aid in carrying it out.”? Payixe toe Pirer.—The journals of the North are deploring the condition of trade there The New York Central and Ene Railroads and the Great Erie Canal are doing less business than last year; hundreds of manufactories in New England have closed their doors, while as many more are at work but three or four days in the week ; commerce on the sea is stagnant ; money is tighter than for years past, and thou- sands on thousands in trade are failing. This is a bad state of things,truly Yet it comes legitimately upon the North. Taus, it is a natural result of the fever for speculating in wild lauds, stupendous schemes and ques- tionable enterprises of all sorts that has raged and raged and raged for the last two or three years in that quarter of the country, until it has not only crazed a large portion of the busi ness men there, but has so infected the South as to superinduce the investment of much Southern money also in such gambling opera- tions, the scenes of which are invariably located north of Mason and Dixon’s line. A month or two ago we expressed the opinion that the pecuniary affairs of the Northwest were in a very unhealthy condition indced ; and for, doing so, were roundly abused and greatly derided by hundreds of Northwestern journals. Our only regret in that particular connection is that our anticipations are so soon being realized. The effect of the speculation there is felt here and throughout the Whole United States in the advance of the nominal prices of almost everything. Thus, while the advance is a hona fide one in the necessaries; comforts and convenienees of life, for whieh, under the rules of trade, cash or its equivalent must be paid, and, as a consequence, those of small means are real sufferers from this undue inflation of prices, men who have speculated on credit are being ruined by thousands—for they cannot meet their engagements—and those who have paid actual money fur property at speculation prices find themselves great losers, for they cannot realize at remunerating rates. Happy, just now, is the man who has kept out of debt; or he who owes nothing for any- thing bought for speculation. That the coming crash will be similar to that of 1837 is utterly impossible, for the disease is not as virulent now as in 1836, when the policy of all the bank- ing and other financial institutions of the coun- try was to loan money with the knowledge that it was desired to be used in speculation. The change that has since come over the banking system of the United States since 1837, has been a godsend indeed But for its ten- dency to curlfour national propensity for spec- ulation, the disasters that would have followed the recent so universal disposition to‘‘go in’’ for making fortunes in a hurry would have over- whelmed almost the whole country—trading— in bankruptcy. New Graxava.—The Journal of Commerce publishes the law recently enacted by New Granada to facilitate the settlement of her out- standing question with the United States. It confers on the President of that Republic power tv make a convention with this Government to that end, which, to be binding on New Granada. shall not be required to be submitted to her Congress for its ratification. He (her President) is simply restricted “from trenching on the rights of the national sovereignty in any re- spect, or from so acting as to affect the territory of the National Government or the property in the railroad on the Isthmus of Panama,” which, it will be remembered, is to lapse in time under the ownership ot New Granada, according to the terms of the charter. It also authorizes the President to demand and accept the arbi- tration of some friendly government, whose de- cision in the matter shall be binding upon each of the contending Governments. Tue Graxp Jury's PreseNtMeNt ov THE Cincumstaxces or tae Rior.—We were com- pelled to publish this important document on Saturday without comment, for want of space and time.

Texas, for the shooting of Sergeant Lively, and found guilty, was sentznced to be shot. The finding of the Court has been confirmed, but the President of the United States has mitigated the sentence to forfeiture of all pay and allow- ances, and to hard labor with ball and chain, and confinement under guard when not at labor, during the period of his enlistment. Kansas.—lIf the difficulties in Kansas, owing to the movements of the Free-soilers, be true to the extent mentioned in the telegraphic des- patches, both Gov. Walker and Gen. Harney will exercise the power, under their conditional instructions, to detain the troops (or a portion of them) destined for Utah to put down any threatened or positive insurrection, and to en- force obedience to the laws.
