Seam per's Tsuchfal Exposition ofthe Alms eck nopabiicantomolits Teachings to tne Coming Conventions. The perfect piatform of the biack republican psrty bas been laid down by Senator Sumner, in bis recent speech in the Senate, and it is now before the country tor approval or rejection. That party bas deliberately set acide its greatest leader, avowedly because his conser- vative tendency was distrusted, and has select- ed the more radical among ite propagandists as ite exponents and representative men. Sena- tor Seward accepts the retiracy which his party has conferred upon bim, and his mantle is pow contested by those who were his com- penions and followers. Prominent among there stands Senator Somner. He compre- bends the great truth that a party can never re- cede from the logical developement of the ideas upon which it has been built up, and the ex- ample of Seward’s fate teaches him that even to peuse is full of danger. He has therefore ac- cepted the result to which the black republican theories must carry all their advocates, and, throwing over board the shallow pretences of limiting his opposition to slavery to resistance to its ex- tension to the Territories, of aiming at aa eco- pomical reform of the government, and of fos- tering a protective tariff, has declared that black republicanism, pure and simple, consists in an uncompromising war upon the social or- ganization of the Southern States. He im- proves on tbe plain “irrepressible conflict” of | Lincoln and Seward, and proclaims that it isa “sacred animosity.” In this be has boldly placed himself in advance of ail his compeers afbong the black republican Jeaders, and they must foliow him or accept the second rank. ‘To bait will throw the whole army into doubt, confusion and ultimate defeat. In taking this frank and open position of un- compromising war on the South, Mr. Sumner hae not been hasty or inconsiderate. He has been for four years preparing for it, and biding bis time. When Seward was rejected at Cni- cego, and the more violent and radical Jeaders of the party were placed in the van, he saw that the time to bring forward tho true issue on which the battle is to be fought had come, He has brobght it forward, and no man, clique or party can change it’ There it stands—the triumph of the political abolitionists and the destruction of the confederation, or the preservation of the Union and the putting down of political abolitionism. The tone and temper of Mr. Sumner’s speech leave no doubt as to the spirit with which the contest is to be weged. There is no compromise, no considera- tion, po appeal to reason and the highest iate rests of the State, but one continued stream of fierce invective and bitwr vituperation. The Northern sectional party is to exert all its strength, and compuleion is to be the order of the day. What feeling this must encounter io the South every man can know by looking into his own bosom. Resistance is the natural im- pulse when coercion is used, and this is what the trinmph of the black republican theories must produce in the South. Under Mr. Sum- ner’s lead we can see how fierce and bitter will be the struggle, and bow terrible the results. And Mr. Sumner has given the bonest and truthful utterance of black republicanism. All of this is evident to the national sen- timent that rules in so many thousand hearts in the Central and Northern States. Wherever the hammers of industry resound, or commerce spreads its sails, the national feeling lives and prevails. It sees the danger and knows the remedy of the crisis; and all it now desires is, that ambitious politicians shall pot thrust their personal claims between them and the destructive mania that must be metand conquered. It wishes not to dwell on hair- splitting distinctions in abstract theories, nor minor questions of State policy. It is no time to discuss the forms of making new States when the existing ones are in danger. It is no time to talk of questions of tariffor internal improvements, or transcontinental mails and roads, when # greater issue, that involves all of these in life or death, is forced upon the coun- try. The national sentiment knows and feels thie, and it looks for such action from beth the Richmond and Baltimore conventions as shall enable the whole country to unite on one sound national and conservative man for the Prest- dency. If these conventions are equal to the emergency that attends the country, they will Dominate ruch a man, and he will lead them to puch a complete political victory that the pre- rent geoveration at Jeast will hear nothing of the political abolitioniets, ug LT ‘Tne QUARANTINE SeASON.—The season when some provisions are necessary to guard the spread of pestilential diseare in thie densely populated metropolis has come, acd it finds us wholly onprovided with s quarantine in any shape. The last Legislature, which was so busy in stealing everything it could Jay hold of, and lobbying all kinds of iniquitous jobs, could support the floating hospital heretofore used for quarantine parposes siace the removal of the hospital from Staten Island. We are therefore bow without @ quaraatine, aod mast trust to tbe mercy of Providence for protection against jellow fever and other contagious diseases “bich mey find their way into this port. The Cowwirsiovers of Emigration, alarmed at this etate of xffairs, beld & epecial meeting on Saturday last, at which they resolved to ask the co operation of the Governor, Comptroller apd Atiorvey Generel in raisiog a loan on a mortguge upon the property at Seguine’s Point, rufficient to meet the expenses of the Quaraa- tioe Commissioners for the present summer. Ivis to be hoped that eome messures will be tubep to provide hospital acqommodation for the sick srriving bere from tofected ports. The eum required would not be very large; for we Want Do complicated quarantine system, each ‘as we bave been burtbened with for years, but eimply such scoommodeslops io the floating borpial as may insure the eafc keeping of in- eorbing topic—an isene which has produced Giecord among those allied to each other by the most endearing ties, ahd which has retard- ed the spread of the pure aad peaceable prin- ciples of the Great Teacher more than all other causes combined, and now seriously threatens the demolition of the fair fabric of our Union. The most of the seseion of the General Confe- rence was spent in discussing the sin of Ameri- can slavery, and thus important measures, vitally affecting the prosperity of an intelligent and wideepread denomination, were sacrificed to the discussion of 6 mere sbstraction. It may be asked, what is the position of the Methodist church in respectito slavery? What was the proposed advanced action upon the subject? What was done, and who did it? It may not be uninteresting to etate that the system of itinerancy, which is a pe- culiar characteristic of the Methodist charch, was so well adapted te this country in its infancy that its dootsines and usages were embraced by the masses, and so long as the ministers attended to thelr legitimate work they were successful in winning converts to their faith and in baildiag up a prosperous orgapization. The master and the slave sat side by side listening to the Gospel of Wesley and his coadjatoms; for they first planted the banner of Methodism on the soil of Georgia, and under the mioistra- tions of the Methodist itinerant, the former treated their servants with kiodoess, and the latter yielded obedience to their superiors. The sleveholder, on expressing a desire to unite with the charch, of Ged, and allowing Bim to atiend public worship.” The Methodist church prospered more in the slaveholding States than in any other portion of the country up to 1644, when, at the General Conference held in that year, the majority of that body commenced to legis- late upon slavery, giving it as their opiaion that as the bishops, in the discharge of their episcopal functions, were obliged to travel through every State, they should have no con- nection with the system; and because Bishop Andrews held a few slaves, he was requested to cease from the discharge of his episcopal duties until he freed them. This he found im- practicable, and at that time the secession took place, and the Methodist church Séuth was or- ganized. Its ministers immediately addressed themeelves to the propagation of those truths which the founder of Methodiem inculcated, and, having purged themselves from their fa- patical brethren at the North, they continued to prosper, gaining the confidence of the South- ern gentlemen and winning their way to the hearts of thousande of the colored race, so that the Methodist Episcopal Church South is now enjoying a degree of prosperity unparalleled in the history of the denomination. A compa- ratively emall portion of the members residing on the borders of the States of Pennsylvanta, Maryland snd Virginia adbered to anti-elavery views, and associated themselves with the Northern church; but it was not long before they discovered that the preponderance of power given to the North would cripple their efforts in preaching the Gospel, and eventually prove an apple of discord. Symptoms of agi- tation immediately presented themseives, which gradually increased and culminated in the first official aticmpt to effect a change in the Disci- pline at the General Conference in 1856. The fanatical portion of fhe ministry prostituted their eacred calling by entering the political arena, for they went about from house to house begging their mombers to siga petitions pray- ing for a more stringent rule of discipline on slavery; but out of a membership of 790,000 they only obtained 5,000 signatures, and were defeated in their attempts to procure the inser- tion of a Jaw in the Discipline prohibiting the holding of slaves, even for mercifal purpoges. From 1852 to the meeting of the Conference, the orgens of the church were constantly engaged insowing the seeds of disunion, and abolition harangues took the place of retigious discourses. While these crazy abolitionists were seeking to avenge the imaginary wrongs of the negroes (who were happy and contented, having the advantege of their white fellow sinners in lis tening to the stated administration of the Gos- pel of the Prince of Peace), the minds of a large majority of the members of the church North were poisoned by disunion sentiments; churches were broken up, the friendships of years were severed, and the party line was drawn as distinctly as the distingairhing marke of the rival political organizations of the day. Although the abolitionists failed to carry their point in 1856, they renewed their efforts with vesl, and by electing rabid anti slavery editors to conduct the official organs, they resolred to infleme the minds of the Northera members tnd arrayed themeelyes in bitter hostility to the brethren ofthe Border. These higher taw apoe- tee, who bud pledged themselves to engage in tbis “irrepressible co: flict,” actually adopting the phraseology of the late Wm H. Seward, went to Buffalo determined to secure the passage of a statutory law making slaveholding a test of mewberrbip. Ont of s million of members they only secured the names of one in tweaty for e change of rute, and the grester propor. ton of the signatures were obtained in tweive conferences out of the forty-seven. A two- thirds vote of all the delegates wae requisite to eecure the adoption of the new*rule, which failed to receive @ covstitutional mejority. De- teated in this measure, they succeeded in dis- piecing the old chapter on elavery,and inserted © stronger declaration of antislavery princi. pies, which, however, hus not the effect of a etatutory enactment, and really imposes no new restrictions upon the Border charohes. Still, it is evident that, sooner or later, the Border cburches will eecede, for the war will be waged with increased vigor during the coming qued- renvial period, the snttelavery party having re elected all the editors of the church papers, and removed the editor of the leading conser. vative organ of the church. The Methodists of this city were so indignant at thie movement that a few of the prominent laymen subscribed $30,000 at an informal meeting to establish an oppotition organ, and a monster petition was signed by over fifteen thousand members in this city and vicinity, declaring that if the Geveral Conference adopted the neq rule they would withdraw from the church. It hes got appeared tbat this memorial was presented, aod even if it bad been, the majority of the dele- gates would bave disregarded the expressed wisbee of the men who put the bread and but. ter in their mouths. Tbe men of wealth and position in the Methodist church are beginving to wake up to their duty and ioterest in this respect, and if they only take the reine of go- verpment into their own hands, aod eiience the ravings of a handful of political parsons, who bave nothing to love if the Union were emesbed, the church would assume its normal condition and perform its mission. It is these raving fanatics who bave beeo instrumental i1 exciting the public mind of the North to its preeent frenzied condition, and unless the conservative element is brought to bear to neutralize their higber law teachings, the im- pending danger that now threatens us caanot be averted. Recertion or THE Proxce or Wates.—We learn from Washington that neither the Pre- eident nor the Secretary of State has taken apy steps with regard to the reception of the Prince of Wales, who may be expected in New York some time in August. The only cfficial action in this country with regard to the visit of bis Royal Highness has been that of the New York Common Council. Over a month ago a Jarge number of our most aristo” cratic (i. ¢., wealtbiest) citizens petitioned the Corporation to send the Prince an official invi- tation to visit the commercial metropolis. The Common Council adopted a joint resolution in accordance with the prayer of the petitioners, and under it the Mayor was authorized to offer the hospitalities of the city to the Prince. We hear that there is some dissatisfaction ex- preseed in certain quarters at the detay on the part of the federal suthorities io regard to this matter. We believe, however, that the President hes acted very pro perly in the matter. The belr apparent to the Eoglish throne usually travels ic foreign countries ss a private gentleman. [t is not kaown now whether the British government intend that he shall be known as the second personage in the realm after he crosses the Ca- nadian frontier, or be recognized simply as the Baron Renfrew. This makes all the in the world as to the manner of his re- ception, and by consequence invitation. Mr. Bucbanan’s long residence near the Court of St. James hes given him the most thorough ac- quaintance with the details of its etiquette, and that be will act strictly according to those rules, and at the same time do the handsome thing, so far as this country is concerned, by the Prince of Wales, there can be no doubt No man better understands the duties of his position than the present President of the United States. ‘Tak Fst Guys rrom Tax Waterto PLaces.— When our fashionable correspondence sets in itis eure sign that the summer has begun in earnest. We have already received the first instalment, and print elsewhere letters from Saratoga end Sharon Springs. Our correspon- Cent at Saratoga gives lively picture of the way in which the summer population of that remarkable and curious village are taken in and done for; and to show that the usual excuse for bad apartments, a miserable table, and other hotel incidentals of a pleagure tour, is without foundation, it appears thae the Saratoga taverns are quite as bad, and even worse, out of than in the season. All around there is the usual talk about alterations and improvements; but it is, in most instances only talk. The hotel keepers say that the season is too short to admit of any change io the prevent system, the profits not being sufii- cient to meet the increased expenditure re- quired to make the hotels fit residences for the better class of their customers. That this is altogether a fallacious idea was proven last year by the Clarendon people, who spent & few thousand dollars on the Ocean House at Newport, and got it all back, and more, when the hotel had previously lost money. However, as most of our hotel keepers are unacquainted with their business—people, in fact, who “can't keep a hotel”—it is quite idle to expect a re. form until a new generation replaces the relics of the old tavern system. In the metropolis we have all sorts of hotels, cheap and dear, bad, good, middling and fair. Here, a+ in Paris, a man may dine at any price that suite bis purse, and have the apartments of ® prince or the garret of a scrubby poet. The city and suburbe are full of interest for the tourist, and he will fiod it hard to enjoy a more beautifal view than that from Observato- ry Hill in the Coutral Park. The attractions of the Park, now daily increasing, together with the eummer sensations, the Great Eastern (which will visit no port except New York), the Japanese, the Prince of Waites’ visit—wil] keep 8 great many people in town ail summer, and will divert mach Southern and Western travel from the watering places to the metro polis, which, until arrangements are made by wbieh people oan be decently fed and comfort sbly lodged at the springs or on the seashore, * ebout the best wavering place after all. That is patting js mydesily, we think, Torxapozs anv Orser ArMosPiznic PuExo MENa.— Avotber fierce iornado has swept over ® portion of the West, destroying life and pro- perty to avextent more fearful than eoy of those dreadful visitaious which have preceded it. Thie, we believe, ts the fourth destructive torpedo recorded this summer, ove of which oc- curred ia our own State, aod never before, perbaps, did the same number take place at 60 early @ period of the season. It is very rarely that these storme are beard of before midsuwmer, and their early and frequeat appearance this year is only an additional instance of the many curious atmospheric phenomena which have characterized our climate for some time past For instance, while these tornadoes have beea more pumerous, we have heard of less earth quakes than usual of late. Aguia, the breaking up of the late winter eeasvn bas been particularly free from fresbeta—inoeed, we bardly remember one of a very serious or destructive character ‘The dry season. of an unprecedeated duration, which bas just ended io New England, and to which many attribute the fatal cuttle disease Dow ravagiog there, ie also one of the must un- usual instances of contiaued drought perbaps ever known on thie port of the Coutineat. Ali these phenomena indicate some change; but what it is, or whenceit comes, no one knows. It would be qell for scientific mea to give these facts some consideration, and Jet us have some explanation if poreible. Theyare very curious, and are not without their meaniag. ‘Tus Census or 1860—The United Stetes Marebu! 00 bie deputies are just commencing the eigbth census taken since the of the present century, and it ie to be hoped that every facility wth be afforded them to cemplete the labor as speedily and satisfacto Tily as possible, For the benefit of those who way be igvorant of the fact, we will state that the Census law makes it an offence, pavishable with a fine of thirty dollars, for ‘apy person over twenty years of age to refuse to furnish the Marshal! or his assistant a true account of every person belonging to the family ia which he resides, in the diffevent particulars required by the law, and that two or three parties have already been arrested for that offence. The results of the censas of 1860, which was commenced all over the couatry on the lst of June, have been variously estimated, some people calculating tbut they will show a popa- lation in the United States of thirty-five mil. lions, wbich is probably too large a figure. The likelihood is that the population of the county atthe present time is about thirty thiee miltions, wbien will show aa facrease of ten millions since 1850, or about thirty-seven per cent, We fiod that the average increase each decade since the year 1800 was thirty-five per cent—verying from thirty-three to thirty- seven per cent. The same ratio of increase for the last decade would therefore make the population of the United States in 1860 about thirty-three millions. THE TERBIFIC BLASTS AT THE WEST.
