Thus it is the United states also, end in every country where there are juine represen- tative institutions.

Our readers must be tired of heartag of “the threa- fifths suffrage,’ by whisd alone the members from the Slo.ve States have got into Congress at #ii, any time with- im the last twenty years. Bui i bat prodigious abuse must be referyed to, whenever ihe prcepects o American par ics are in qucetion. No eae man can suppose that this uffrage (ths suppositious support of three-fifths of a 8 population which on al! other ovcasions is declared not to be human at all) cao subsist any lopger tban the millions of free men 1p tbe North choore to permit ; and bo mere cap aby sane man doubt that the opiaion’ and will ot those free millions, when reproduced in Congress, must effectually check ard modify any policy proposed by ® very small minority who owe thetr Opportunity of speech in Congress eoely to an imaginary suffrage. tm brief, a mojoriiy which may be bailed at the polls on a single occasion, by & superior or- gan'tation, and, as alieged, by frand—can at plea fora make itself heard spd felt ia Congress, 30 es to change the admitisiration, and render the Preeident elther reasonable or iucapable of much misohicf. Whether such a course of events would not bring on dis- upion is another question. Our opinion ts, and has been for twenty years past, that-a revolution, in ove form or another— eable or violent, enxy or formidable, by treaty or by the sword—1s the nesura} and inevitable con. sequence of the earliest compromises of the constitution; and there \s certainly nothing in recent or preeent events to make ur euppose ihat the preparatory process is sus- =. Gathering evidence with ali care and impartal- ity from American paperr and the reported meetings of ail parties, we can come to no other covciusion than that the moet earnest advocates of peacoable and legislative foparation believe avd ray. tbat the election of Mr. Bnchsnan is the best thing that could have gnp- pened, We need not uso up ovr space in explaining why. Our reacers are well aware of the mora! adyan- toges of an opposition over the bolders of office; aud especially in s democratic republic far advanced tn cor- ruption, Svilice it that Fremont, who must have disap. pointed the republican party as President may now grow ip preatpers and power by delay; and that a muittude of Northern men, who (but just aroused from political abasement) would have been timed, conservative, and, fats faithless, after hort experience of success, ave DOW @ good chance of knowing their own aad their fellow couvtrymen’s minds better, of rat their views and purposes to the beignht of they duty, and of becoming disciplined for that paw lotic action which they have too long suffered to sleep i tradition or to miter iteet! only through thoepeskiug trumper of tie South, Locking at the pla'n facts ot the day we ees more wad more evidence that the oontitos 4 1a no respect decided, Lor In any es mitigate, by the mere result of the Presidential election. ‘Tne Iatect news from Kenras is ‘that very little interest is feit about the Proaidential slee tion there, as both partics were reselved on carrying on their struggle, whetever might be domg in Washington ‘The free settlers are reroived (and (here is a remarkable pertinacity inthe sons of lilgrime when eettiing new countries) neither to emit siaye institutions nor to go away.

Carry that para‘ic) ovt, and the result on the .other side of the Atlantic ovgbt to be similar to that which has occurred here. However little the leaders on cither ide may be sincere Ip our great bustings struggles, they invariably result in the permanent victory of one party or the other. If toryiem in England be able to hold its own only by more or lars adoptiag tho principles of the liberals, may we not fairiy argue that in America, in Jike manner, there successive struggles must ené in the Fermanent victory of cae or other of the combatants? Whichever way triumph goos tbe consequences must be fatal to the States. The aecendency of the prosiavery party would be tanta mount to an apuibilation of the freedom and enterprise of tbe North; while, on the otber hand, if the ebolitiouists could tuceeed tn depriving the slaveowners of their pro- perty, whether by violence or by purchase, consequences Would in 4li probability ensue such as these which have ruined our West India colonies.

Here, too, we must bo perraitted to doubt whether such practices Can ba resort- «d to eo harmicerly wa their apologists imagine. If, for electionecring purposes, the late war with Rues'a, for in- stance, bad been ¢flectually decried on the ground of non- intervention, the conzequences would have been fatal to the honor of this country in the eyes of foreign nations, even aliLovgh the incoming ministry had by its subse- quent conduct disapporwtea tho expectations of the eleo- torai body. i the peizon bad only been circulated with- out producing such results, it in impossibie to doubt that the natior al mind would have become more or loss diseas- ed on the eubject in quesilon, apd that the lata! effects of euch tamperiogs with pubilc opinion must eoouer or later bave become manifest Mr. Buchanan and those who bave acted wih him, bave for years past been ergaged im thus corruptiog the judg- ment and the principles of their feliow-couatry- men, vptil the sures: way to gain the smitrages of the mob is to hold out to them that the hope that more terri- tory, belonging to other vations, will, trom time to time, be added to the States. Such political crimes invariably bring their own puntehment; for, aithough the motive moay be characterized by the levity attending an eiection- cering coptcet, the parties thus playing with dapgerour Weaponn can never positively foresee the consequeacas of their own words and actions. For ihe present, there wil no doubt be a reaction, and Mr. Buchanan will etrivs to reinstate America {n the good opinion ot the rost of the world. One of the enrly fruits of the setticment will, in all probability, be tho resumpiion ef entire diplomatic relaiious with’ England; and the evil consequences we bave hinted st wiil be postponed for along period, But the cay of guilt and of punishment will uot the less cor- telnly arrive, and we, in the meantins, may proiit py tao warning afurded by even the apprebensioa of such a result.

Contrary to the general belief, I take it for granted that he is; and if go, he muet, without loss of Ume, epply the necessary remedy.

Among the sympioms of discontent obsorvabie in other places besides Paria, I may notice the tact that ia ono department—ihe Coer, I belleve—where a vacancy hes Occurred, not less thau nine persona have presented themselves ne csndidutes. They may not proclaim themselves in formal opposition to the government, but they bave come forward without consulting, or even communicating, as hag been the cxse hitherio, wih the jocal authority.

Several of the deputics are so discontented with the mauver tn which the estimates are presented to the chambers, that they have resolved to abstain in future from attending betore the council of state to support their respso- tive amendments. In a short time, perhaps, tne cbamber will muster courage enough to refuse voting the budget, on the grouud that it is not sufficiently informed ou matiers of detail, or any other ground whtch some experienced tacticians among them will Gnd no dif- culty in discovering.

States Navy—Letter from a Man-of-War's Man. 10 THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. Unsrrep Staves FRicaT® SAVANNAH, Naw Yor«, Noy. 27, 1806 Having lately returned to the ‘land of tho free and home of the brave,’’ we of tarry hands and sunburnt faces deeire to give you and your readers a few itoms of our late cruise, and of naval doings generally. We design to discuss in this letier the relative advan: tage of bc coming @ naval mom with that of becomiag a merebant sailor, Now, take our own case ag an example We rhipped in the United Stator naval eervice at the age of elxteen, and the first sailoriuke piece of work which we Were required to do was to biack an officer’a boots; the second was to rub a govty leg, and numerous other sea- manuke jobs; and we firmly bellove we would have beon rctained in tbe emulating and highly interesting business of boot pollebtug and gouty leg rubbing until the end of the cruise if we had not strenuously resisted it. When the youthful aspirant to seamaaship enters the naval service he expects to become a thorough bred sea- man, but the naval officers and that august body which baudles the reins of government think otherwise, and in- etoad of making seamen of the boys iu the navy, they convert them {nto messengers and side boys, and teach them the highly ingenious art of strik og @ bell, running errands, doffing thelr hats to every gold band which pops iteeif over the gangway—no mater whother on « white or a black head—and itis notan unfrequent thing witb us in tho Savannah to doffto woolley heads, in the shape of Brazilian officers, which was peouliarly unpiea- ant to us of pro-slavery sentiments And what are the inducements held forth by that scientific and very respectable bo iy at Washington to docoy boys from tho peaceful quiet and ‘mproving influence of their home? Why, atter sperding a hard life of condne ment of about tweuty two years in @ man of-war, they Will become **petly oificers.”’ And what is a “potty oill- cer’? on board of ® manof-war? Those who have had any naval experience can answer the question very reali jy; but those who bave not, will do weli to inform thom. selves ou tae eubject. A “petty offloership” is one of thy mest ungrateful situations im the world.

Why can’t we do in our Disagreement and Discharge ef the Jury— ‘The return of Baker to New York. Nawsune, Dec. 6, 1856, At twenty minutes past 10 A. M., the jury came ima Court and stated that they could not agree. On a ques- tuon from the Court as to whether they destwed any fur- ther instruction, the foremaa, (Mr. 4. H. Stmsabaugh, of Goshen) said:— We have fully diecussed this case. Some of as are for acquittal ana seme for conviction There is either a mis- understanding or forgetfulness amongst some of the jurors about the evidence as to where and how Poole and Baker clenesed—which of them took hold of the other first. A portion of us think thut if Poole first selsed Ba- ker then Baker was not obliged to retroat, unless he was safe in doing 80, and that he woula not be safe ip retreat ing with bia baek to the persons im the house. Others think that he was bound to retreat and that the prepow derance of the evidence is ia favor of the conctusion that Baker first clenched Poole. And in regard 1 ‘his ques- ton we would like to hear whet the evidence was. Some remarks then passed betwoen Mr, all acd Mr, Winfield tor the people, anc Mr. Brady for the accused ow the matter suggested by the juror, The Court deciined te state again the dotalls of the te timony , leaving the question as to what it was aud its @ tect to be determined by the jury A question was also put by the jury as to whetbor Mis cbell and MeDovongh both testified that Lozier and Pose seized Baker before he fired. ‘This was also lolt to use memor yet the jurors Bie b repeated on the call of a juror, thoeubstance of bis cuarge ws to Baker's right to defend bimsell, and strongly urged upon the jury the necessity of agreeing upon a verdiet If possible Mr. Sinsabaugh, who was formorly Sherif! of the Coun. ty, stated that he bad never knowns jury te discuss » case in better temper or witb a rtronger desire wo agresy but be felt that no agreement was poasib'e.
