Universal Suffrage and Democracy=—Mr, Everett Grey. in April last Earl Grey, stan@ing in his place on the floor of the British Mouse of Lords, gravely announced to the world that the expe- riment of self government in the United States had proved a failure, because the checks estab- eulh siveet—Vooan axp Ix | lished by Washington and his contemporaries- on an unbalanced democracy had been swept way by the aetion of universal suffrage. It was’ meet that the reply to this authorita- t've ennncistion of a grave and unfounded churze against these United States should go firth to the world from one of the successors of now too emtt to contain the descendant ({housands from | the few Lundreds that, in the infant daye of the republic, were went to listen to the voice of patriotism within its sacred walls—and beneath the shadow of Bunker Hill, on the glorious an- niversary of American independence. Edward Everett, the erator of tbe day, then and there i reptied to the British nobleman in a speech — printed elsewhere in our columns today— which does bim high honor. If we were to seek for one of the triumphant defences of the prin- ciple of universal suffrage in America omitted by the cloquent orator, we might find it in the fect that such a man as himself has been brought forward spontaneously, after eighty years of practice under the priaciple, as % candidate for one of the highest offices in the gift of” the people. Declining to give the discussion the character | of recriminstiou, for which there was ample | and abundant room in the parallel period of English history since 1776, Mr. Everett has brought to his task truth, research, vigor in argument, eloquence in expression, and a scho- larly taste in the arrangement of his subject matter. He compares the colonial cra of our history with our era of self government, during the last sixty years of which we have advanced. from five to thirty-two millions of people. He recalls the fact that during this period we have had to explore a con- tinent, to open mighty rivers and lakes, to drive back the forests for thousands of miles, and withal to subdue the savage in beast and human kind. He reminds the world that during this ehort period twenty sovereign States have been founded, many great cities in the morning he walked out and inspected the | arrangement of the gallows. He seemed resignod to his fate, and expressed his sincere peuitence for hiscrime. A graphic account of the scenes and incidents of the execution will be found in another column, The Walton-Mathews tragedy is still shrouded in mystery, notwithstanding the efforts of the Cor: and the police. There were rumors afloat yester- | | have sprung up, Mvere and lakes Dave Deen | peopled with innumerable steamers and other | water craft, and thousands upon thousands of | miles of railroad and olectric telegraph have been spread, where, within the memory of liv- ing men, the savage once burned his captive at the stake within the gloomy shades of a dense wilderness. And be rightfully claims that this day of some fresh and fmporteut evidence having | pough and mighty work could not havo —as it been obtained; but upon inquiry we learned that the tes cerned, amounted to very litle. A conductor on the Fourth Avenue Railroad informed Coroner Jack- maa that about the time of the marders a man got oa the car at the corner of Sixteenth street, and after riding a few blocks got off at the forward entrance, withont paging his fare. The man, he ways, acted as though he had been running, and was evidently laboring under some excitement. | The conductor thinks he can recognise him if he | ever sees him again. Prederick Hoffman, the missing clesk of the Pa cific Mail Steamship Company, was arrested near Trenton Falls, in this State, yesterday, charged with forging two checks of $1,500 each. Capt. Otto and fourteen of the crew of the al- loged slaver Kate, togethor with Henrique de Costa and other passengers, captured by Capt. Faunce, of the revenne cutter Harrict Lane, were brought before Commissioner Morell yesterday for exami- nation; but, in consequence of serious illaess in the family of Mr. Donohue, cowisel for the accused, the case was adjourned to Monday, The Police Commissioners, at their meeting yes. terday, fined A. H. Oliver fifteen days pay for in- toxication. A resolution was presented by Mr. Bowen, and passed, asking Judge Cornell, of | Brooklyn, to furnish the Board with a copy of his decision on the Sunday Liquor law, delivered ia June last. ‘The Board of Aldermen dé! pot organize last evening for want of a quorum. ‘The Board of Councilmen met last evening and transacted a large amount of routine business.

The Board red to ward the contract for paving Reade et, from Broadway to Washington street, to J. B. and D. B Culver for the sum of $11,206 20, they being the lowest bidders.

Our triumphs in the mechanic arts are altested by the names of Fulton, | Morse, Tloe, MeCormick, Hobbs, Steers, and | the thonsand and one productions of eur inven- | tive genius, which propel the ships, print the | newspapers, reap the harvests, secure the gar- ners, and convey on the wings of the lightning | the ideas of other and older lands. He recalls | our lexicographers, now the standards of the | English tongue; our historians, now the bright- est of our language; our publicists, now aathori- ties in legal science; our constitutions, now the | patterns of the world: our engineers, now | leaders in the constructive art; our ships, now | models in every sea; our books, now read by all nations, and “the peerless name” which is all our own, These, the brigbtest productions of science and art, are pot the fruits of decay consequent upon an unbalanced democracy. Leaving the fields of historic developement, and of the pre cinetly our record in de je administration and the application of public law. Frankly ad- witting that here, asin older societies, in repub- lies as well as monarchies, bad men are some- times raised to office, unwise laws moetimes enacted, unpopular ones somet violated, and that party—at once the safeguard and the bane of free governments— sometimes works its with us, he institutes a comparison be- the administration of justice-here and in Freeland, in which he is remarkably generons to the older establishments, and which yet shows in no small degree to our advantage, ‘Dhe unrighteons decisions of Mansfield, the at- tacks of Chatham and Junius thereon, the infa- mous orders in councfl, the politieal character of Britain's highest conrt of justice, and her legislative corruption during the reign. a few are eince, of “the Railway King,” are all hed upon tenderly and with great conside- ra while her standing army, her public sale of ite offices, ber starving populations repressed at the point of the bayonet, her gigantic corrup- tion under the rule of the younger Pitt, whea war contractors swarmed on the benches of Parl ut; her dark era, when the patriot li Burke and Fox went out and the only palladium of England's « was the fervid eloquence of Erskine, lige juries to find verdicts in direct op to the ng of corrupt judge passed over in generous silence.

Vor eighty this truth been demonstrated by practi us. It was the feundation of our independence and our greatness, at a time when pliant rulers would have purchased safety with submission. It was the cause of the adoption of the constitution when ambitious demagogues preferred sove- reign rule ina small State to national great- ness in a glorious Union. It was the bulwark of the same charter of our liberties when fede- ralists and “fifth monarchy men” wished to bend it to the adoption uf aristocratic forms. It was its safety whea a blue light Convention at Hartford would have admitted a foreign enc- my to our firesides. 1t was the tribunal which pronounced a righteous judgment when a char- tered institution sought to control the imterests of the country, whea corporations claimed that the many should be taxed for the benefit of the few, when contractors aimed to disburse the revenue for theiaselves under the mask of in- ernal improvements, and when secession dema- gogues sought to rend the Union by a defeat of | the compromises of 1880 and 1650.

He says. what is very true, that if a Breckinridge ticket and Douglas ticket should be run in every State of the Union, the defeat of the democracy is cer- tain, ard that nothing can save the nearly stranded old ship from utter wreck and ruin but union in the doubtful States. For instance, he thinks that New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Connecticut can be carried by a sin ; but with two democratic gle democratic tic Lckets, Liacoln will be sure to win these States, and to be elected by the people. What he pro- poses, therefore, is that, a» Douglas is strong in the North, and Breckinridge strong in the South, only the Douglas ticket should be run in tho North, and the Breckinridge ticket only in the South. In this way, between them, they would obtain « majority of the electoral votes, and de- feat Lincoln, which is the first duty of the de- mocracy. How the votes should be afterwards, whether to Breckinridge or Douglas, or some other man, could be made a matter of arrangement, This looks well on paper, and would bea capital plan for defeating Lincoln if it could be practically carried cut. The question is, will the friends of Breckinridge and Douglas, in every State North and South, agree to it? If they do not, how can it be done! For instance, suppose it was arranged to run the Douglas ticket only in New York, would the friends of Douglas in Alabama or Louisiana or Virginia consent to withdraw him in those States? A one-sided bar- gain would never work. That the friends of Douglas will not withdraw him in any State is evident from the lotter of Miles Taylor, of the Nativunl Demveratic Committaa (Nougles wing), which will be found subjoined to the letter of Mayor Wood. Such is the animosity of the two factions against each other that either would prefer to see Lincoln elected rather than the candidate of the rival sect of its own party, Mayor Wood eeta them an example which they will be sure not to follow. He says he is entirely with the Breckinridge men in principle, and would have voted for the Southern plat- form bad his delegation been admitted, and that he would now prefer the election of Breckin- ridge to Douglas, and prefer to support man. Who is to decide between them, or what prospect is there of harmony? To run a single ticket is important when viewed in connection with the election for Governor and other State contesta, But as the Albany Regency monopolize the spoils whea- ever the democracy wins, and aa the hards have nothing to gain or lose by the result, they will not be disposed to enter into a” arrangement which can only re. dound to the benefit of those who cheated them at Charleston and Baltimore. It is only the strong conviction that their action would materially contribute to the general defeat of the republi- can candidate that can induce them to sup- press their rage, forget their wrongs, and go to work to carry the State for the candidate whom they regard as only one degree removed from Vincoin, But there is no use in talking about any harmonious arrangement in New York, when the friends of Mr. Douglas, who are authorized to speek and act for him, will not lieten to any compromise which will em- brace all the other States. It is evident that the democracy is doomed. ponent. We make particular note of this fact, because the Archbishop is not generally given to humility, and the spectacle displayed by him him in the State if he were the stronger candi- date. But the main point isto defeat Lincola, and to do thik inthe State of New York Mayor Wood contends that Douglas is the better man, and, therefore, he means to support him. The supporters of Breckinridge, however, in- cluding Daniel S. Dickinson, bold a different opinion, and will probably urge the reasona- bleness of withdrawing Douglas, as the weaker Arcumsnor Hvones ty 4 New Rotr. The metropolitan prelate has appeared before the public a great many times, and under various auspices. Le has generally, however, been the attacking party, and has used the weapons of controversy most vigorously, Latterly, the Archbishop has had a tilt with the City Inspeo- tor, in which the latter seems to have rather the best of the maiter. By the copies of the correspondence, published elsewhere, it will be seen thet Mr. Delavan has placed the most reverend father in the confessional, and that the Archbishop makes full acknowledgment of his sins, recants the same, and apologizes to his op- in his new réle a a penitent fs refrcehing in the extreme, We trust that Mr. Delavan will re- member that even Archbishops are only human beings, with all the natural frailties thereof; that he will tomper justice with mercy, make the pe: eos light as possible, and accord to the pre full wbsolution for his past errors and plenary indulgence, so far ag letter writing gore, for the } «inns Betogged=The Corntry Safe. ‘The perfect sense of security in the stability of the Union which now appears to pervade all interests, ranks and classes of the Americun | people, notwithstanding the destruction of the ‘ tic party, is one of the most remarkable of tbe day, othe snows of the last winter still co- vered the fields we were admonisied by our arituting democratic politicians that we were early explosion was inevitable, that the Union would be destroyed, and that the leading wen of the Southern States, attiring themselves in domestic linsey-woolaey, were preparifig for the solemn aliernative of a Southern confede- racy. There was a general alarm, Could we | of the North save the Union: Our democratic | oracles were dumb, or they answered us only § n repeated warnings of danger. Our only hope was in the democratic party. Thus ad- monished, all eyes were turned to the Charles- ton Convention. It was an ominous failure, The quack doctors thereof assembled again at | Baltimore and doctored the party, their patient, o death; but from that moment all fears con- cerning the Union, all dangers, threats and clements of disunion disappeared. Never has | there been a more general confidence in the Union than since the destruction of this corrupt old party, which many good and honest people had been taught to believe indispeasable to the very existence of the Union, ‘The truth is at Jast discovered that the Union and the gaunt and ghastly spectre of disunion bave been the charlatan tricks by which our den oeratic politicians have retained their hold upon the public plunder. We all perecive now that the democratio party has perished because, asa mere spoils party, it could not “keep slop to the musie of the Union,” and that neither this party, nor any other party of managing tpoilsmen, adventurers and vagabonds, is of any higher importance to the Union than aro wolves and earrion crows to the army whieh thes fellow. The disruption of the democratic party bas reduced our managing politicians of the school of sectional agitators uf all parties to a very low figure in the market. They plead not guilty, They never counselled a dissolu- tion of the Union, an “irrepressible conflict,” an exterminating crusade against slavery, or a Southern confederacy, or anything of the kind. Both factions of the demoeracy are for the Union; ell the parties and all the candidates in thé tield are for it; Yancey abandons his South- ern conicderacy for it; and Governor Wise, who threatencd to break up the Union if Fre- mont were elected, is now ready to fight to stay iu the Union. On all sides, with the terrible crash among the crockery of our democratic politicianr, we find our party leaders, organs, orntore and camp followers wonderfully de- voted to the great objects of sectional peace aod harmony. The Union has proved itself stronger than our disunion agitators. They have been broken to picees against itas the waves of the sea are broken by the Gisnt’s Causeway. The alarm is over, the people feel easy, and the country is gradually recovering from the late financial revulsion and our late disunion excitements, Confidence in wade is extending, and in the Union it is restored. The solid masses of the people are really beginning to believe | that it will make no practical difference to them whether this man, that man, or the other, is elected our next President, because of the checks and balances which, in any event, tho | parties in the field will mold against each | other. This is the true estimate of this campaign. Should “Old Abe Liacoln” be elected by the people, he will have an adverse majority in the Senate to keep him in cheek to the end of his term. Should the election be thrown into Congress, and should a compromise be mado in the House, resulting in the election of Joho Bell, his administration will have to be regu- lated so as to meet the requisitions, perhaps, of a republican House, as well as a democratic | Senate. Should the election of a President go | by default in the House, and should the Vice | President elecied by the Senate, suy General Lane, thus become President, he will be beld in check by the conservatives of both houses from any extreme measures of a party character. So, in any event, the practical difference be- tween the election of Lincoln, Bell or Lane will be the mere difference of the doubtful division of the spoils. "Let the honest and independent imasses of the people, therefore, who have no interest in the mere spoils of victory, leave this scrub race to | the management of the spvils politicians di- | rectly concerned, Let these politicians have | ait the glory ofpaying their patty exponses ot ; the campaign. On the part of the man who does not want an office, surely avole for the ticket of his party is quite enough under the circumstances. Let those whove labors are di- rected to the fat offices foot the bills, Above | all, as the Union will be perfectly safe in any event, let our independent men of ureans, who | have heretofore bled so freely to sustain the leeches and loafers of this or that party for cam- peign purposes, have nothing more to do with | them. Let these expensive clectioncering | loafers and leeches be reduced to their own re- j sources, and we shall have the most quiet and | orderly election of the last fifty years. Our agitating sectional politicians have been | reduced to good behavior from the confusion | and the fog into which they are thrown | with the dissolition of the democratic party. They are no longer the stumbling block to tho | sober judgment of the people. Let the mere | loafers and electionecring vagrants of the several parties concerned be cut off from their + ordinary supplies, and the rowdy clement of our elections will be abolished.

And so it is likely to be in the case of the young tyrant of Naples, He is lucky if he escapes across the Adriatic te his Austrian cousin in the disguise of a wig and @ peajacket.
