The Union, as additional proof of the unity of the Democratic party, says: «* Whatever ditferences may have arisen among our friends in Obie during ney of the Kansas question in the late session of Congress, all dissensions are now at an end. Ino the States where elections come off thix Fall the Demoera- 3 RRS a 4 and ad spoken. The defeat of the apostate Blair in the first State‘has come with crushing power upon the waning hopes of Black Repiiblicanism ; whilst the Increased Democratic majorities in Kentucky utterly extinguishes Crittendenand the People’s party.” The Union, also, gives the Intelligencer the cue to “the laws of the Democratic party;” ~and in another article proclaims ‘‘ the Admin- istration a unit.”’ The Intelligeneer returns to the Right of Search question “to say. that, whatever there might have appeared to us of doubt or imper- feet accord between the two Governments at the date of our article of the Sth instant, we have had the satisfaction to learn that letters Teeeived from London by the last steamer an- ounce the full and entire agreement on the part of the British Minister to the grounds as- sumed by our Government in Secretary Cass’s able dispatch of the 10th of April last, and the consequent removal of all chance of misunder- standing growing out of diverse views on the subject hereafter.”’ eo oo U7"Gen.

Rufus Choate and Judge Abbott to argue the suit brought against him by the creditors of Lawrence, Stone & Co.; brought to recover $87,000, which, it is alleged, had beea paid by the above firm to Wolcott, for the purpose of in- fuencing the votes of members of Congress onthe tariff bill. Ex-Governor Gardner, the former partnerof Wolcott in business, has a'so had a trustee’s writ served on him by the Bay State Company Lavatette Cotiece, Easton, Pa —We learn from the ‘ Presbyterian’? that the commence- ment exercises of this institatton took place on the 28th ult., and were of an unusual interesting ebaracter. The inauguration of Rev. Dr. Mc- Phail was the first thing that claimed attention on the morning of that day. His inaugural ad- dress was ali that the friends of the institution could desire. The address of the Rev. Dr. Tus- ton, President of the Board of Trustees, to Pres- ident McPhail, was listened to with great interest and satisfaction. The exercises of the graduating class were highly creditable to the institution. The honorary degree of DD. was conferred ou the Rev. isaac V. Brown, of N. J, Rev. J.J Brownson, of Pa., and Rev. J. R Eckard, of Washington city. Lafayette College is endowed to the amount of $100,0C0, and in al! respects chal- lenges the confidence and patronage of the pub- lie. It has never been in a more prosperous con- @ition than at the present time SE a The Atiantic Telegraph. A thousand reports are afloat concerning the cable. We have, ourselves. nothing further upon the subject. The lines east to Halifsx and west to New York are in good order, but the wire of the Newfoundland line, which branches off at Suckville, N.S, has been out of order since Thursday evening. Our last advices left the engineers and their assistants employed in getting the cable ashore at Bay of Ball's Arm. No doubt is entertained batthat the Agamemnon bad arrived at Valentia Bay, but as the telegraphic instruments for the transmission of intelligence have never been put up on board of either vessel, there can be no actual communi- cation, except by signal, not words, until after both ends of the cable shall have been connected with the shore, which may require several days. As matiers now stand, the presumption ix cer- tainly that the cable bas been laid, and signals of some sort are exchanged through it, but the ques- tion whether an inteilizible conununication can be transmitted by it remains to be determined it might be practicable to signalize the conti- nuity of the line without producing such an elec- trical current as won!d be of any use for sometime in communicating a mess The accident to the Newfoundiand line will be Jikely to awaken considerable distrust. but wecan readily imagine many good reasous for deliber- ate fnterrupting farther commu ications about something defiaite can be an- nounced. Rejoicings, which show that the people have given doubt to the wiuds, and have full faith in the success of the enterprise, are chronicied by all our exchanges, and coin to us over the wires.

Newspapers axp Newsparern Responsi- BILITIZEs.—On the day before yesterday our neighbor—the Union—took occasion to say: ‘Since the g schools, and men on the community on ot alone. it articles, w' pete pyen the paper. A news; for the publication of gi as possible, - before its readers every variety of opinion. If we bad the space we should not fail toguote tiberally from the ition press, and offer our colamns to those who might be di to address the people Cap political sciestificsebjects. What 1s said in our itorial columns may ——— as — my, page - the Union; what is said elsewhere in the ry we beg the captions patriot To erieve, ix pre= sented for general reading and for just what itis worth.” We published not long ego the Chicago speech of Mr. Senator Douglas, and, more re- ently, Mr. Duff Green‘s letter; the people dia not su spose we endorsed either ; and we certainly do not? re We quote this paragraph toendorse ita sound- ness in every particular, as well as to afford us an opportunity to congratulate our friends of the Union upon the fact that a slight change in the circumstances of the case, has thus served to im- pressupon their minds sound doctrines in this eonnection. The public will remember that pending theate Washington city municipal election, the Union essayed to hold the Star re- sponsible for the tenor of advertisements ap- pearing in its regular advertising columns; a view of the responsibility of a newspaper, which we as emphatically repudiated then, as now, with a protest against its unfairness, and the want of editorial comity it embraced towards a journal that had long held the most intimate friendly relations with it, having so often gone out of its way, aa it were, to sustain it against ungenerous and unjust aspersions of others. We did not then realize that the Union would 80 soon come to comprehend the sweeping injus- tice and impropriety of the rule of responsibility it took occasion to lay down asagainstus. But ciroumstancesalter cases. It had not then ad- mitted into its own columns a letter from the in- terminable pen of General Daff Green, giving his peculiar opinion of Andrew Jackson, about on a par with the periodically appearing letters from the quite as interminable pen of Francis P. Blair, Sr., giving 47s peculiar opinion of the Democratic party of the day. We sincerely believe that the day for the publication of newspapers upon the prineiple of applauding all that all of either party may do, and condemning all that ail of other par- ties may do, has gone by. The Scar is con- ducted upon no such principle; and though expressing the Democratic-party sentiments of its conductor, it has never yet knowingly sought to misrepresent the acts of any party or man for the benefit of party. None rejoice more than ourself over the fact that the news- paper press of the United States is so rapidly becoming independent of party, to which we look as embracing a future guarantes of the in- tegrity of the conduct of men, who, fancying themselves shielded by the blindness of party to the faults of those on whom it has devolved trusts—and there are many such every where— seek to do wrong things, in office, for their indi- vidual advancement or that of others. At the same time, we have no faith whatever in the plea of ‘tindependence’’ under which a large class of journals—the prurient press of the land—essay to shield their sinister slanders and other attacks upon any and everybody who stand in the way of the success of their schemes of plunder or ambition, or of those of the indi- viduals who make up from their private purses the lack of means for their support (for that of such journals) refused to them by an intelli- gent public not disposed to accept loud pro- fessions of propriety embraced in sweeping ac- cusations against nearly every body and every thing, for a sound and patriotic public spirit. In the course of our long experience with news- papers, we have never seen such journals suc- eeed in obtaining the confidence of the public; and the fact of their invariable failure to doso embraces ample proof of the good judgment and integrity of American public opinion, however that may be warped at times under the excitement of political campaigns or other somewhat similar causes. Taw AcHIgVEWENT oP THE AGE —AH around us, from the moment of the receipt of the dis- patch announcing the arrival of the Niagara, after having successfully laid her share of the telegraph cabie, up to this moment, everybody has seemed to be in a condition of nervous ex- citement to hear of the safe arrival of the Age- memuon on the other side. We never before saw this community take more interest in aught else. The Sar office has been besieged by men and women, alike, deeply interested, appa- rently, in the result, all eagerly inquiring after later advices. Though the so ardently desired news has not yet come to hand, we apprehend that there can be no doubt, now, that the ex- periment of bridging the Atlantic with the means of instantaneous intercommunication be- tween the two countries is to be a fixed tact, perhaps within twemty-fuur hours—an achieve- ment which, upto the moment of the announce- ment of the arrival of the Niagara, had come to be scouted by nearly all asa matter of utter impossibility. We freoly admit that we were among the most skeptical, believing that the rocks on which the cable is necessarily laid for much of the distance would chafe and cut the wire in twain, long ere the vessels laying it down could reach their destination. That they have not done so, seems to us proof that the pressure of the water is sufficient to keep it from being swayed from side te side by what- ever lateral forces there may be in operation at the ocean’s bottom ; and alse that the abrasion of the water has long since worn off the acute points of the rocks in the ¢cean’s depths. Such is our theory accounting for the success of the experiment so far, which the reader may take for what it is worth. If, as all now anticipate, the voyage of the Agamemnon shall prove as successful as that of the Niagara, immense chxnges in budiness methods and modes must svon ome to pass, and Europe and America will become more as- similated. While we will adopt much fromour trans-Aflantie cousins, they will not fail to adopt equally as mueh, if not more, from us; our methods and modes being generally hetter adapted to the progressing stateof society than theirs, which are tied down to routine, handed down from fatber to son for centuries, under the influence of govermental institutions al- ways vigilantly jealonsof change. Railroads, steamboats, and the telegraph, have already worked wonders ia the way of making us a ho- mogeneous people, wearing away provincialisms in everything, and blending the individual in- terests of men, so that what affects any one Section of our vast country, surely affects the whole, more or less. Steam on the ocean has already had, in some degree, the same effect— 4 failure of the crops in Virginia, Illinois or Mississippi—affeeting the status of business houses in Liverpool, Hamburg, or Manchester, 50 a8 to injare the community there toa greater or lees degrse. With the Atlantic telegraphin operation, business intercourse between the continents must roon become much more inti- mate ; ard, in turn, with that change witl the personal intereouree and connection between the people of the two countries inerease, some- what in ratio as the intercourse and intimate Personal connection between the people of far off sections of the United States have certainly increased pari passi: with the increase F fa ppetent to. these, as we were to sol cilities of intercommunieation between them. The questions of grestest interest now, are, how long will it be ere a break in the connec- tiom@akes plece? and, if it should take place, how ofin the damage be repaired at an expense not fo to destroy the possible pref from. gap the line? We areas the possibility of successfully lm the cable.
