Batisy, Havay 2.8 aNd OTHERS — Currixmes—I employ an early opportunity since my return from Washington (give you, in compl jance with your request, my opinion of our policy in the present @enjancture of political affaira. It i difficuls to grope @or way along the entanglementa and complications which thicken around us; and at best we must een appeal to conjecture, Noone can foresee the preciee shape which future developements will take; Bor can ony one vow tell to what extent probable party eembinations wii be affecteri by the loose political ma- ‘Yerial now drifting about. The whig party is dead; tho American party jn dying; Sad in what condition is the @emocratic party? The lusty and vigorous energy which has hitherto signalized it is fast fading away; bu? Ws te renewing itself by beginning to appreciate the liv- ‘ng, real and substantial issuos of the present and fu- ‘are, and is adapting ite organization to meet them. The “irrepressible conflict,” 80 dogmatically announced by Mr. Seward, and #0 enthusiastically approved by Mr. Lincoln, the present nominee of the black republican party for the Presidency, ie sow assuming & more for- widable shepe, and is working out its resulta more e@wiftty than if it really existed in the economy of our political arrangements. It is founded in the speculations of fanciful theorists; it addresses itself tothe vanities and pharasaica) assumptions of men who only rise from (be dust of traffic to mouth insipid and insane sentimen- \alities; and moro fatal than all, it inflames a discased eooacience with lust of spoile and lust of power. To the mtod of the North the theory of abolitioniem—of the ‘‘ir- fepressible conflict’—is particularly striking; it is esote- ric; it gives @ sensation of being in the secret that all the South, if not all the world, has been going wrong. Retrograde progress {s far more exciting than real progress. In the latter the whole world marches together; im the former a fragment have it al) to themaelves, Ap error, which has once been con- wicted ap @ brutality, can never hope to recover its Freund again as a philosophy; but error so easily takes @ sew shape, and wears a new name, that the world often finds ite old enemy in @ strange disguise, Thus, though sbulitioniam bas been convicted of brutality and barba- rity ip the richest islands of the world, and of throwing thera into jungles and depopulation, yet it now stalke be- fo-e we in the form of the “irrepressible conflict,” and challenges the ambition of the North, while it inflames fhe couscience, which now seeks to wreak ite atonement for mercenary sordidness upon the “glittering generali- tiea”’ of universal equality. In this way, and through the combined influences of vanity, speculation, ambition, cvpidity and conacience, the “irrepressible conflict,’ bbougb artificial, unjust and inhuman, is fast becoming a Uving aad ‘errib’e reality. Under the terchings of the abolitionists the North is about to be consolidated againat the South. It is futile w deny, onlees all the signs sroand us betray, that the fecrrad government le about to pass into the hands of the majority section, and that all its powers will be used to tripple, and ultimately to destroy, the institution of diavery a8 it existe among us, Neither tomorrow, or tho next week, nor the pext year, might the Guguer be pisnted in the beart of the South; but, if she eurmite to the sectional domination which {s now threat- oved against her, this calamity wil! inevitably befall, un- jem the whole history of the world bo reversed, and the ereential principle of humanity be revolutionized. No people can safely commit thelr righta and ctyilization to the curtody of another and bostile community, and it is ‘ble to deny that the North is to the South a bostile com- munity. A moment's examination wi!!! show that thie is no un- founded assertion, African slavery ia embedded in the very foundations of Southere industry and society, and it cannot be ov rtarned without producing universal confu- wo at the South Society would be dislocated, govern- ment destroyed, and probably ruined as efictually as if an earthquake had buried, ora delage submerged the soil. And yet, against this system of slsvery the North has waged, and ie still waging, an uneparing warfare, Ite ‘erature has libelled; {ts putpite have denouneod; its Stave Legislatures have impaired it, although ig doing eo Chey struck down @ distinct article of the federal conatitu- bon, And now jt is about4o usurp the common govern- ment, ip order the more effectwally and epecd!ly te restrict, Cripple, and then exting” ish it. Of course I do not mean to imply hostility on the part of all the people of the North, I recognize there many, many of the firmest friends of the constitution and jus | tree; but, urfortunately, they are too feeble to control the bgimlative action of their States, or to put down riotous confieration of Southern property. However much, then, we Svuth vray admire the patriotiem of those at the North who etrogyle against faoaticiem, and althoegh ehe may be wiling to exgrifice much to aid them jn thejr contest ») . ber enemies and the enemies of the constitution, yot the cannot be bind to the fact that the whole political organization le in the hands of ber foes; and she cannol squander her Iie: ties ia @ fruitless attempt to ald even ber friends. The South must accept the issues which have been fore. upon ber by the North, aud she mus* meet (Lim steadily and boldly. | ‘What are those issues? Some are to bo tried in the fo. | rum of conscience; others arc to be speedily pressed into enforcement and action. The (iret are—that slavery, ne At exista among we, is a crime; that it fills the South with crvelty, immorality and barbarity; that the fag of tho republic ie diehonored by it, and that those who practice 6 are moral outlaws, These issues I will not now discuss; | for however much they might excite jenlousies and ieart-bwrnings, so long as they aro conflued to the of conacience on hag not sufficient to dis . The other issues, and thoee pressed on to exeuction are—that the | 0, that she must bo made triba. tary to the North, and that the of the government must be used to destroy her institutions, which area Biot open Lue common escutcheon That these are the distiact and vital issues presented to party no one ean trathfully deny. This party, four years ago, in its Oon- vention at Philadelphia, dectared that “‘pelyeamy and Alavery were twin relics of barbariem, and ebould be im- mediately destroyed,’ and upon this iseue it then came witbio @ hair'e breadth of seizing the government, Stace then it has increased in strength day after day, while the organization which then it, and was bay enongh to snatch victory from it? le riven asua- der, thue giving it an almost certain road to sacces.

But, in obtaining power, it will have tanght the North the secret of conquest, and our submiseion will make us ite victim. No party—not even the sans eulotie party in France—haa ever been Daser or more mongrel than is the republican party, It bas not courage enough to lift power above cunning, nor dignity sufficient to make even conquest respectable. It bag pever touched an office but to pollute it, nor guarded a treasury but to plunder it. Surrounded with the ghast- ly twaces of its uninterrupted ofMeial corruption and peculation, it accepts po responsibility, while it renoun- ces no atom of power. Born of a drivelling fanatacism, it bears no remorse for the past and nopromise for the ‘fa- ture. In its present conspiracy — the copetitution and the rights of the South, its leader might ap- peal to it in the nervous and terrible words which t pu into the mouth of Cataline, when ho urges on his onded followers in their attack upon the liberties and honor of Rome:—.1t nobis domi mala ret sper mullo jor, Stimulated by lust of spoils and power, they deny the history of the world, arc faleo to the obligations of the constitution, and defy truth and juatice, YY the ineue involved in the ponding contest affected only tem material (uterests, the Routh might afford to Yegund thes: wit partial iuditéreneo.

Tho banquet ball was most brilliantly ieminated by four large chandeliers, and on tho sides of the rocm were brilliant gas jete, under which were mag pificent emblamatic representations of the coats of arms of the States of the Union. Tho light of the gaa brilliantly iuminated the room. There were two long wbics placed in @ longitudinal position, extending the whole length of the room, and one semi-circular one, at which the prowinent guests sat, were laid for two hundred and fifty guests, All of these tables wero profusely orna- mented with natural flowers, and an endless nam ber of the most chaste and exquisite designa, ap. propriate to tho occasion, in confectionery, cake work, sweetmeate, &, The whole of the ora mentation, a8 well as the general arrangements, wero conducted with tho utmort precision and order, and refleet the utmoet crédit upon the officers of the Metropo- litan Hotel and the Commiiteo of arrangements—W, If Draper, W, Marchant, H.
