Mrs. Gurney has chosen to cafPy out in a practical way the peculiar theories of a school of philosophers with which the Tribyne has long been identified, and it is quite in dccord- ance with the doctrine of the eternal fitness of things that her defence should appear in that journal—the organ of the largest liberty in all matters, social as well as political. The etter iteelf is one of the most extraordi- ary publieations of this most remarkable age. Tf it is authentic, if it has really been written by the proper hands of Mrs, Gurney—and we have the Tribune's statement to the effect that it fs genuine, and no proof to the contrary—this curious document marks a new era in the so- cial history of the race, and affords a marked example of the inevitable tendency of the doc- trines which the Tribune philosophers have ad- vocated during the last ten or fifteen years. Commencing with abolitionism, the new lights of Spruce street passed on to Fourrierism, s0- cialism, agrarianism, spiritualism and free-love- ism. Their avowed platform is free soil, free farms, free speech, free labor, and free men, of all colors and conditions. To that comprehen- sive programme it would appear they purpose to add entire freedom for women. That is Mrs. Gurney’s platform. Her letter is by far the cleverest exposition of the doctrines of free love, as taught by the philosophers of Berlin Heights, and endorsed indirectly by the 7ri- bune. The fact is that the Gurneys, and all the rest of the Exeter Hall school of philanthropists, are en rapport with the abolition party on this side of the Atlantic; and, therefore, it was emi- nently proper that Mrs. Gurney should have se- lected Lincoln’s organ as the medium whereby her apology for her escapade might be laid be- fore a sympathizing and an appreciative au- dience. It might be as well, however, to ask, as the election of Lincoln is considered by many to be a matter beyond reasonable doubt, whether or not the Gurney plank is to be definite- ly engrafted into the Chicago platform? Shall we have, in addition to free negroes, free women? Does the Hon. Masaa Greeley, when he takes his seat in the Lincoln Cabinet, intend to lay down the free love doc- trine as one of the bases whereon the govern- ment is to be conducted? Is Mrs. Gurney’s let- ter to be considered asa semi-official declara- tjon of the principles whereupon the new ad- ministration is to conducted? Its publication at the present juncture must be consider- ed in the light of such a declara- tion, and it will be the duty of the conservalive opposition to use the very extra- ordinary document which the Tribune has promulgated as a weapon against the party which is endeavoring to still further excite the unhappy sectional differences which have arisen among us. The first step anterior to the red@tction of the republic to soc'al and polilfcal anarchy has already been taken. The ques- tion now before the country is: how much further shall these things go? The Gurney letter gives some clue to the sofution of this problem. From it we are able to obtain a better idea of the Trilune’s notions as to “free- dom” than by any other means. The question is now: how far Hon. Massa Greeley and his candidate, Old Abe Lincoln, are willing to go on the Gurney platform? Let them put them- selves right on this record without further delay. Tre Cexsvs—Growra axp Resovaces or me Unrtry Sraves.—The census returas are rapidly pouring into Washington, and by the first of September, the limit fixed for their it is expected that they will be fully completed. From the figures, as they at present show, it may be confidently assumed that the total po- polation of the Union will not fall short of thirty-two millions, being an increase of nearly one-third since 1850, when the last census wag taken. The history of no country, either in an- cient or modern times, has exhibited the same extraordinarily rapid multiplication of its peo- ple, and in none have the agricultural and in- dustrial resources developed in their progress kept such even pace with their numerical growth. There are not, we will venture to say, on the surface of the globe, any thirty-two millions of people who poseses the amount of wealth and comfort enjoyed by the inhabitants of these United States. Our cotton crop is in itself almost a sufficient source of national prosperity; but in addition to the income which it brings us, we have that derived from supplying the rest of the world with the surplus of our breadstuffs after ot own wants are provided for. Owing to the infinte variety of climate that is to be found with- in our \rritorial limits, we are not dependent, like other nations, on any one class of produc. tions, and are therefore exempt from the whole- sale calemities te which a drought, a frost, or ex- cessive rains, frequently subject them. If there is a failure of the cropsia one part of the country, they are generally made up for by their super- abundance in another; and thus our people are never made to feel the sufferings and priva- tions arising from an exclusive reliance on any one of earth's products. In mineral wealth Pro- vidence bas been equally bountiful to us. Our coal fields are ten times the extent of those of Great Britain or of any other nation, whilst as regards the precious metals, no estimate can be formed of the riches that lie hidden {n the auri- ferous regions which yet remain to be explored in our outlying States and Territories. Thus blessed by nature, and aided by the perseve- tance and energy which are the dominant traits of the national characten it will not be surprising if the census now being taken should exhibit results far more striking than any that have os yet been anticipated. In the growth of the metropolis alone we have an example of the enormous strides which oar population bas been making without people being aware of their extent; and in the new cen- sus we expect that we shall find many facts erally illustrative of the unexampled feean- dity ia numbers and wealth to which Provi- dence seems to have destined us. To the po- litical economist and the philosopher these re- turns cannot fail to prove deeply interesting. ‘They will draw from them more valuable lee- sons, as to the true conditions and limits of a na- tion’s progress, than they have. been able to glean from all the histories and easays that have been written. Tox Cocxcrmen Sumxma tae Jaranese Swrxpix.—The Board of Councilmen are fight- ing shy of the Japanese swindle. The debate upon that unparalleled acheme to cheat the city treasury was set down for yesterday, after having been postponed from Tuesday, but the Councilmen did not venture to touch it at the meeting last evening. It was pniped over as a thing that never was. It is evident that the Councilmen intend to let the matter lie in abeyance until the public attention is directed away from it, and then to let it alip through without attracting any particular notice. They are mistaken, however, if they suppose that we are going to let it die out, for we are determined to see it to the end. If it be, aa it is universally believed, a gross fraud deliber- ately concocted, it should be squelched; or if it bea legitimate claim for moneys honestly expended upon the entertainment of the Ja- panese Embassy, the public have a right to know the items which make up the bill. There can be no objection to a liberal expenditure upon an occasion such as the visit of the Japanese Ambassadors, for if’ was an event franght with the highest importance to the commercial interests of the country. If it cost twice as much to entertain them we would not complain; but if $105,000, or any part of it, was put to any other use, then we have strong objections to make against levying that sum upon the taxpayers; just aa we object to the Corporation charging $2,500 for the expenses of a committee who visited Boston the other day on some sanitary mission, which occupied abouta day and a-half, and could not have cost more than two hundred dollars at the outside. That the Councilmen intend to pass this ap- propriation for $105,000 sooner or later we have po doubt, and when they consummate the act we look to the Grand Jury to sift the whole matter to the bottom. —_—_—_——— News from the National Capital.

Watering Pract Marrrra —At this seston pleasure tra vel should beat its beight, aud the watering places af- fected by our fashionable society expect during the last three weeks of August to reap their harvest. So far, how- ever, as we have been able to ascertain, the present sea- son bas not been remarkably gay. From Cape May, Old Point Comfort and the Virginia Springs, we hear very good accounts, a great man) Southerners refiising tocome to the North this year. The Saratoga season is only a fair ope, ond will aot turn out nearly so well as the last, Sharon Springs seems to be the resort of the people who call themse! ves the créme de la créme. Sharon was known formerly only as a place for invalids and quiet old fogy families, but latterly it bas become quite faat and fashion. able. There is very litgle travel to Canada just now. Tho Montreal hotelkeepers complain bitterly, but expect to make up for all shortcomings when the Prince arrives, (about the 26th of the present month). Newport should be the centre of attraction just sow. ‘The botels are quite full, The Ovean House, which bas been wonderfully improved, Is overrun with yisi- ters; the Atlantic, Bellevue and other botels, have a fair bare of patronage. Senator and Mrs. Dongias, Miss Charlotte Cushman, tbe Cousul General of Austria for New York, Mr. Loosey; the Britirh Consuls Cartwright, of Philadelphia, and Lousads, of Boston, are at prosent in Newport. People who are ecquaiated with such matters are very much puzried to tell which way the crowd has gone this year; bet we sppreheud that the truth ts the travelling public Lag suffered quite enough from extor- tiopate landlords aad the thousand minor miseries attoad- ant upon moving about in this conntry, where, as a gene- ral thing, the taveller is made as uncomfortable as possible and charged at the most exorbitant rate. So everybody that can aflord the time and money goes to Europe, while the genoral public selects for itself some quiet place within carpet bag distance of the metropo- lis—quite the most swsible thing to do under aay cir. ‘Cumstances.
