Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and suite arrived in this city yesterday, and were | greeted with the most magnificent reception that has ever taken place in the metropolis. The reve- nue cutter Harriet Lane, which was selected for that purpose by the President, proceeded in the morning to Amboy, took the party on board from the Philadelphia train, and brouglt them to the city. Royal salutes were fired from the fortsas the cutter passed. When she touched the Battery the Prince was welcomed ina most enthusiastic manner by the populace. In Castle Gar. den he was presented by Augustus Schell to the Mayor. The Prince and suite retired and changed their citizen's dress for theirumilitary uni- form. The Mayor presented them to Major Giene- ral Sandford, who then requested the honor of a review of the troops on the Battery. After the re- view the royal party and the municipal authorities entered carriages and headed the procession up Broadway. Entering the City Hall Park by the east gate, those in carriages alighted on the es- planade in front; the Mayor, together with the Prince and suite mounted a platform, while all the ry passed in review before them. party then re-entered the carriages and Broadway pa: into line again at Waveriey place an: round Union square and up to the Fifth Aveaue Hotel. Here the distinguished guests alighted. The procession was the finest military display has ever been witnessed in New York, and eKeite the admiration of ths visiters. The sidewalks of all the stree's through which the royal party passed were literally packed with people, while all the windows and roofs in Broadway were likewise filled. The reseption was enthusiastic and magni- fisent, without a parallel and beyond deseription. We publish in another column interesting details of news from Mexico.

The mail agent of the British Post OMce De- partment in the steamship Conniught, which was wrecked and destroyed by fire on Satarday and Sanday last, arrived in New York on Wednesday morning. The steamship Persia happened to be sailing that day for Europe, and he therefore took passage in her in order te report officially on the loes of the Connangbt and safety of the mails as soon as possible. He took the log of the Con- naught and other documents belonging tothe un- fortanate pioneer of the new Galway line out with him. He will now occupy the position of mail agent on the company’s new steamer Leinster, which takes the place of the Connaught in the line. ‘The pubic demonstration made in honor of the Pr.ace of Wales yesterday tended to check tranmetions in | some branches of trade.

Jn moral significance as well as in the mate- rial fact, yesterday presented a spectacle which the world has seldom geen equalled, and never eurpassed, New York, the commercial metropolis of the most commercial nation and powerful republic now in existence, poured out all of ita million | Of people to receive the heir of England’s crowa, | who comes adorned with all the pageantry of peace. There would be a deep significance in the simple fact iteelf of this semi-royal progress by the heir of a friendly crown through the do- | mains of a powerful republic; but this is ren- dered more impressive by the entirely sponta- neous and hearty homage with whicha whole nation of freemen receive him, and by the an- tecedents which attend the history of the two nations. Springing from the same loins, the two peoples pursued for a century and a half a | common path of developement, the fostering | band of the elder protecting the early foot- | steps of the younger, Then came the dark days when fraternal war ended in political severance. Reconstituted in separate and antagonistic na- | tionalities, there remained the ties of a com- | mon lineage, a common language, and common | tastes and impulses. For eighty years the paths | of national developement, of liberty, commerce, enterprise, literature and happiness have been pursued by each in a spirit of emulation, and to-day they stand before the civilized world | peers in all things, and each the admitted leader and representative of freedom on its respective | continent. After this not very long period, but yet a wonderful one in the results it has brought to | both nations, the Prince of Wales comes as a private gentleman to view the regions and to know the people that were once attached to the crown he is destined to wear. Every- | where has he been received with the cordiality | due to a beloved kinsman; the delightful ties | of consanguinity have been renewed between _ | us and England in his person; and New York has to day set the seal of the true metropolis of | the New World, to the reannealing of the heart } ties between ourselves and the mother country. | Yes, the mother country. And should any one ask why the name and deeds of George the Third were yesterday buried in ob- livion, there to remain forever, we would point them to the virtuous mother, the peerless Queen, whose virtues shed a halo round the throne of England, and constitute the | pride and joy of all where England's tongue is | spoken and England's honor loved. The young Prince who has to-day received the heartfelt homage of a free people, unsonght. and there- fore far more truthful, can take back to his | own free land. and into its bappy homes, the | aswuraace that beyond the oceaa, among kia- | dred people, his mother's honored aame has | + | eradicated every vestige of the fraternal bitter- | peas that once existed between ua. Who can trace the mighty results that must flow from this auspicious day! The re-esta- blishment of fraternal ties between the two na- tions will thrill the hearts of men ia every corner of the earth, It will pervade the labors of diplomacy, the enterprises of trade, the pur- suits of the artisan and the laborer, the pages of literature and the hopes of history, with the | confidence that henceforth the giant leaders of liberty in the Old World and fn the New are united in impulse and ia aim for the perpetuation of freedom and the elevation of man. From such a con- fidence the most beautiful results must flow; for as long as Victoria fills the throne, and after her Albert Edward wields the sceptre of England, the memories of this day will exercise their genial influences over the destinies of both nations. Nor is it alone here or in England that these influences will be felt. On every ocean and along every shore the cross of St. } George and the Stars and Stripes will wave in | concord and harmony. Such a union will re- | animate the hopes of nations everywhere, and give an impulse to the cause of constitutional law and the reign of liberty and order through- out the earth. Herein lies the deep significance of the recep- | tion of the Prince of Wales in New York yes- terday. The spontaneous enthusiasm of the people, the crush of a million of freemen to hail his coming, and the hearty blessings that were showered upon his head, must carry to his | heart the conviction that he will bear back with | him to Engiand the affectionate love and the confiding hopes of thirty millions of kinsmen, to strengthen his throne and reunite the hearts of both peoples. Pestsc Orricxs—Cowmsa Is axon Goro Ovt.—There is no class in the country among whom the indications of the issue of the Presi- dential election, which the late returns from Pennsylvania present, have produced more con- sternation than the office holders in every quar- ter of the country. Should the election result in Lincoln's success there will be the cleanest sweep in all the federal offices that has been seen since the first election of Jackson. When Harrison was elected there was a pretty gone- | ral clearing out of the office holders; but Harri- son died very soon; and on Taylor's election there was another exodus from office; but he also died soon—the victims, both, of the office seekers. In each case the restoration of another réyime begat partial restoration of the office holders. But in the event of Lincoln's election there will be a tough old rail splitter in power—a singed cat, with nine lives, who is not likely to be killed by the office hunters, but will very probably live out histerm. And what an awfal rush of office hunters there Will be! No doubt every man who turned out in the Wide Awake procession the other night isa candidate for some office or snother; and so it will be all over the country after the November election It will bea very good thing, however, to hare all the public offices, both at Washington and everywhere else, swept clean, and the depsrt- ments well washed and scrubbed out; all the | pickings and stealings which have been going | on well ventilated and made public; for where | #0 much stealing has leaked out, in spite of all the efforts to conceal it, there must be a great deal more which has not been discovered. The office holders who are te go in, being far more hongry than those who are turned ont, will, of Course, steals great deal more if they only bare time of considerable intereat. We presume that the | Ltmcoln’s Anticipated Election—The Irre~ preasible Conflict im the Republican Camp. With the full expectation of Lincoln's elec- tion as our next President, we detect the symptoms of an “irrepressible conflict’? among the chiefs of the republican camp for the con- trol of his administration and the fat offices within his gift. We find this conflict fore- shadowed, for example, in the following ex- tract from the leading editorial in yesterday's Tribune:— every way fi Pennay’ 1, Fae art place, ‘Unose two Bdies justly share between them the of baving made Abraham Lincoin our standard bearer in the momentous contest now 60 near its cleariy foresbadowed termination. ladiana—which had previously inclinea to and was confidently and rea- tonabdly counted on for Judge Bates— Soiep Sati re firmly and ardently beside Tuinois supporting Mr. Lincoin's pretensions, \heoceforth ber d was mest vehement and un tring in commend! ber new choice. Peunsylvania, which, unlike Indiana, had a candidate of ber own, hea! tated and debated long; but when pressed at length to say decisively, ‘Io case you eta bere your owa Can- didate, who is your next choice’”’ too, dosignated Mr. Libcoln; aud ber decision, in effect, impelled that of the Convention. Now, there is something more’ in this than meets the eye of the superficial reader. The Pennsylvania candidate referred to for the Chicago nomination was General Simon Came- ron, one of the very shrewdest and ablest party managers of the day. His decision in favor of Lincoln over Seward doubtlees had much to do in the nomination of the former, and in putting the latter gentleman aside for a more convenient season. But the opposition of one Horace Greeley, the delegate from Ore- gon, was, as we all kaow, from the confessions and maledictions of the Chevalier Webb and the little “artful dodger” of the New York Times, the plank upon which Seward was marched overboard. In this matter Came- ron was only one of the allies of Greeley. Oy course this decisive republican victory in Pennsylvania will place General Cameron very high among the few first class favorites of ‘ Old Abe;” but there is another party engineer in the same State, whose services there in behalf of the republican cause must not be overlooked. The Chevalier Forney is that man. Under the disguise of a Douglas democrat he has rendered good service as a spy in the Foster camp. He will claim of Lincoln, no doubt, that he bas earned not only his present office of Clerk of the House of Representatives, but something more. But Cameron is not an admirer of Forney, and thus, between the demands of the one and the claims of the other, there will probably be an early smash of some of the republican crockery in good old Pennsylvania. In.New York the conflict for the first honors and offices under “Old Abe's” administration is more sharply foreshadowed. Against Gree- ley and his powerful party organ, the Tribune, there will be the formidable coalition of Seward, Weed, Webb and Company. Mr. Seward, from his late campaigning pilgrimage to Kansas and back, bas done more service in behalf of Lincoln's election than any other republican stump speaker multiplied by twenty. His claims, therefore, upon Lincola’s administration must be respected; and, sheltering themselves under the mantle of the distinguished Senator from New York, we may expect to find Weed, Webb aod Company doing the utmost in their power at Washington to put the delegate from Oregon into a back seat among the mourners. But if Greeley can only comprehend his posi- tion and his power, what be has done to build up, and what he may do to maintain or break down the republican party, he may defy his enemies in the camp, and boldly stand before Lincoln as the peer of Seward himself. It is but justice to say in behalf of the Tridune that it has created, organized and led the repub- lican party to the threshold of the White House. This it has done through its energetic agitation of Southern slavery and the “ slave power,” in every shape and form best calculated to awaken and bring into the political arena all the moral and religious anti-slavery sentiments and elements of the Northera States. The de- mocracy, in the repeal of the Missouri compromise, in the mismanagement of the affairs of Kansas, and in their shocking demoralizations North and South upon the slavery question, have furnished the capital, we all know; but the republican party are indebt- ed to the 7rilune for the miraculous profits of its investment. It is one thing, however, to build up a party, and another thing to maintain it after its ele- vation to power. Radical ideas and abetrac- tions, and revolutionaty measures of reform, are indispensable to the creation of a new party from the broken materials of old parties that have lived out their day; but when a party thus created is put into the possession of the government, it must revolutionize itself or fall to pteces, It must abandon its radical theories, professions aad promises, and fall back upon the practical responsibilities of its new position, or it will speedily come to the ground. ‘The change of position to be considered is just the difference between Mr. Lincoln as the Presidential candidate of a purely sectional anti slavery party, and Mr. Lincola as Presi- dent of the United States. Should the Tribune editor properly appreciate this broad distinction between a party seeking and a party advanced into the control of the government, he may quietly take the place of “the power behind the throne greater than the throne iteelf."" On the other hand, let our slavery agitating cotemporary, in behalf of Mr. Lincoln's administration, persist in the agitation of the “irrepressible conilict,” and he will fall from grace, or very soon bring down the administration from ita lofty hopes | into the dust and ashes of public contempt. At all events, with the transfer of ‘Old Abe” | from his quiet home at Springfeld to the posi tion of the official hotel keeper and principal | almshouse commissioner of his party at Wasb- ington, we insist that Horace Greeley, if not made the bead of one of the executive depart- ments, shall at least be the chief of the kitchen | cabinet, for Thurlow Weed or the Chevalier Webb in that position would clean out the kitchen in six months, to the last marrow bone ja the pantry. Tan Next Conaress.—The probability now fs that the republicans will not have a majority ia the next Congress; for although they have gained on the State tickets, and thus increased thelr chances for electing a President, in Penn- sylvania aad elsewhere, still they have lost in members of Congress in many instances, There is a new featare observable in the democratic candidates for Congress in this city. We perceive that many of them are taken from the class which the grogshop cliques are ac- cuatomed to nominate—s clase of men for the moat part liquor dealers, who formerly aapired no higher than a seat in the Common Council or the Legislature, but whose ambition has now grown to a place in the halls of Congress. —_—_—_—_—_T Newspaper Emterprise—New Telegraph Arrangeme! mts. It was announced the other day that the press had entered into arrangements for the working and management of the Newfoundland tele- graph lines, Cape Race being point jutting out into the Atlantic, nearly midway between New York and Europe, it became a part of the enterprise of the day to have a news yacht stationed there to intercept the steamers, and thus place the metropolis within one week's distance of Europe. Our plan has thus far worked very well; but next year it is the in- tention to improve and perfect it, and, with the co-operation of the owners and captains of the steamers, to obtain all the European news by the way of Newfoundland. Meanwhile, however, in the depth of winter, and when storms prevail, it may so happen that the news yacht will miss some of the pass- ing steamers, or the steamers taking the southerly passage will stretch out too far at sea from the cape to enable the news men to intercept them. To obviate this difficulty, and to carry out the enter- prise which initiated the Cape Race arrange- mente, the press are now completing their plana to meet the passing steamers off Montauk Point, at the extreme eastern end of Long Island, and at one or two other points along the eaatern coast, by which they will obtain the European news whenever there is a failure at Cape Race. The plan to intercept the steamers off Mon- tauk has long been in contemplation, and was on the point of being carried out several years ago, when the telegraph was in its in- fancy, by the building of a telegraph line over Long Island by Colonel Colt and others; but for a variety of reasons the arrange- ment fell through. Now, however, by the enterprise of the managers of the American Telegraph Company, wires are rapidly being stretched on poles along the route of the Long Island Railroad to the eastern end of that island, and the new line will probably be open for business in a few weeks. That company intend, we under- stand, to extend the wires to Greenpoint, and thence by a branch line from Riverhead to Montauk Point, and also to connect with the shore of Connecticut by a cable across the Sound. The press are indebted to the energy of the American Telegraph Company for thus facilitating our arrangement, and we are in hopes of success off Long Island if our other more eastern plans fail. News will be more difficult to obtain from the passing steamers off Montauk than most any other point; but by a little energy, a few carrier pigeons and steam, we feel pretty sure of spending money and getting the latest intelli- gence from Europe. Tae Sranisu QuanreL wrru Mexico.—It is stated im despatches recentiy received from Mexico that Great Britain is about to break off all diplomatic relations with Miramon; but whether that step is to be followed by an im- mediate recognition of the Juarez government we are not informed. There is some proba- bility in the statement, from the anxiety mani- fested on the part of England to effect an ac- commodation between the two parties. Neither England nor France desires to see the de- mands of Spain pushed to extremities. They know that the adoption of rigorous measures by her would lead to inter- vention by the United States in Mexico, to be followed by the invasion of Cuba. As it does not comport with the Interest of England that our power should be extended in either quarter, there is no doubt that every effort will be made to prevent Spain from carrying out her threats. All the offers of mediation made by Great Britain having been rejected, the only mode in which she can effect her views is by breaking off her relations with Miramon, thus giving a moral support to the constitu- tional government. The evidences that she has given of this disposition seem already to have produced an effect, for the Spanish Minister at the Mexican capital is stated to have been ur- gently recommended by the Captain General of Cuba to treat Juarez and his Cabinet with the utmost respect. It will be fortunate for Mexico if the difficulty with Spain should furnish a so- lution to her present complications. The equivo- cal policy pursued towards her by England and France has hitherto been one of the chief obsta- cles to her securing stability in her affairs. Mismisaoewest or tue Post Orrice.—We have heretofore pointed out the ment of the Post Office of this city, and the general mismanagement of the post offices throughout the country, owing to the igno- tance of the head of the department at Wash- ington. Mr. Holt knows nothing of accounts, or of the nature of the business he has under. taken; otherwisé he would not have permitted uch defalcations on the part of pestmasters. The abolition of Boyd's private penny post in this city, without establishing any efficient public system in its place, is decisive evidence of the want of a competent head of the depart- ment at Washington. We have received for Publication the following letter:— TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. New Yous, Oct. 10, 1860. Some weeks you kindly inserted my commuaica- tion wate time necessarily consumed (a pparcat- ly) by the ONoe in collecting and distributing city Laat evening I received at iy Broadway, o'clock, ® communication which was mailed at Broad ‘Way and Prince street before tweive o'clock on the 23sh of ber, taking eleven days and six hours to travel about two miles, or a greater amount of time than it would to send from New York to Li rerpool. This is one instance, and I venture to assert not by any Means a remarkable one,butan ordiaary, common oF currence. Will Mr. J. T.

When Boyd's Despatch was abolished as a private en- terptise by the authority of the Postmaster General, according to the discretion vested in him by the act of Congress, he ought to have appointed over the penny department Mr. Boyd, who understood the business, and under | whose t an organization for the speedy despatch of city letters grew up into a great business, giving great satisfaction to the public. This has been taken away without sub- stituting anything adequate to the wants of the public in its stead. The city Postmaster is a very good man, but not very energetic. He does his best, however, and he is not charge- able with the blunder which broke up Boyd's penny post, but Mr. Holt, the Postmaster about fire NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1860.~TRIPLE SHEET. General. And this is only of a piece with his whole management ever since he was placed over the department. A year ago we stated that the defalcations in the Post Office amounted to nearly a million of dollars. We were immediately contradicted, and our statements denounced as slanders. In less than two months after defalcations amount- ing to $300,000 came to light, and time will re- veal the balance of the million. Assoon as the new administration comes into power, dis- closures will be made which will astonish the public. How could it be otherwise? Mr. Holt is a country lawyer, who has no acquaintance with finances, or commerce, or figures. He can- not give the proper directions to the officers under his charge. He is not only incompetent himself, but he has failed to appoint subordi- nates who understand the business. The result is that the affairs of the department are involved in confusion and disorder. But the misfortune in this case is, as in some of the other departments, that whatever is wrong is visited on the head of an innocent man who has nothing to do with it—the President—who bas been compelled to take such men for heads of departments as party leaders and members of Congress have forced upon him, and who must trust to their superintendence the details of the business which it would be physically impossible for him to supervise. The President is made the scapegoat for all the plundering and blundering and mismanagement of all the officials and all the culprits in the whole party. Cause of the Defeat in Pennsylvania— The Albany Regency. The defeat of the conservative ticket for Governor in Pennaylyania, which foreshadows the defeat of the conservative Presidential ticket next month in the same State, and pro- bably, also, in the State of New York, is the consummation of the work of the Albany Re- gency. Their game from the beginning has been to divide and be conquered, and they have carried it out most successfully. Long since they laid their treacherous plans for the overthrow of their own party and the triumph of black republicanism, and they are looking forward with longing eyes to the reward of their treason. They found at an early period that it was not likely they could have the control of the Presi- dential nomination and the spoils which to the victors belong, and they deliberately went to work to throw the election into the hands of the republicans. Richmond said he would be king and rule, or king and ruin. The first de- velopement of the treachery was at the Syra- cuse State Convention last fall, where the Re- gency deliberately split the party into two fragments after the old rupture had been healed. By rejecting Mayor Wood and the delegates from Mozart Hall, and seizing upon the control of the Convention, they created a riot, and established a division which they have done all in their power ever since to continue, till it is too late to unite and conquer. They have demoralized the party, not only in this State, but throughout the Union. The suc- cess of Mayor Wood in the election of last De- cember on the great national issue against the combination of the republicans, the Regency and free soil Tammany Hall, led by the original organ of abolitionism in this State, the Journal of Commerce, was @ significant rebuke to the Regency, to which they would undoubtedly have taken heed had they not made up their minds to defeat the b The next overt act in their treasonable design was the publication of a private confidential letter of Governor Wise, of Virginia, which had the double effect of killing off that popular candidate, and of widening the split in this State and rendering the confusion worse con- founded. The unfortunate divisions and dis- sensions in this State were carried by the Re- gency into the Charleston Convention, and they went there as dictators, not as delegates; they bad their programme cut and dry, first for the rejection of the delegates of the Mozart Hall democracy, the larger and victorious wing of the party, and secondly for a political platform which they knew the Southern delegates would never swallow, and a particular candidate whom they knew to be of all others in the field the most obnoxious to the South. Having, by lying and fraud and cheating all round, gained their first point, and obtained a firm footing in the Convention, they were in a position te drive home the entering wedge. They stuck to one candidate from first to last, and would not have any other, and they stuck to squatter sovereign- ty through thick and thio, while the secession- ists insisted on Congressional protection of slavery in the Territories. There was no mo- deration on either side—no middle course pos- sible—with the predetermination of the Regency to break up the Convention. They would lis- ten te no compromise either at Charleston or at Baltimore. They must have cither Douglas or nobody. It was with them Cwsar aut nullus. They well knew that the extreme Southern party would not yield, and they persisted to the end in maintaining their position till they ac- complished their object by splitting the Con- vention into two conventions, and dividing the democratic party into two factions, taking with themselves the delegates of fifteen States, and arraying the delegates of seventeen against them. They were thus as sectional as the black republicans themselves, and destroyed the effect of the grand argument against that revolutionary party. Not content with what they achieved at Charleston and Baltimore, the nail they had driven into the coffin of the democratic party they clinéhed on their return to the Em- pire State. Ever since they have labored | night and day to prevent the union of the con- servative elements in this State. The effect upon the party and upon the conservative cause generally in Pennsylvania was to demoralize them, and. with the assistance of Forney, to drive pumbers into the ranks ef black republicanism. There is always a large floating mass of voters who desire to be onthe strong side, and the destructive, disorganizing course of the Regency convinced them that Lincoln was likely to be the winning horse. Many in Pennsylvania who would not go over to the republicans have refrained from voting, from utter disgust and despair of doing any good. There ts but too mmch reason to fear that the Presidential eleo- tion will present the same results both there and here. Thus have the Regency succeeded in | splitting up and the democratic party, in preventing the union of its fragments with each other, or their union with the other conservative elements of the State. Their reward in prospect is a secret interest | in the spolle—a gigantic scheme of public plunder tn connection with a railroad to the SN Pacific.

LL The Imfidel Convention—; Repub- lcaniom im ouramenen As will be seen by reference to our news columns, the infidels for two days have been holding a convention in this city, in which they have given utterance to the most revolt- ing and horrible blasphemies. Let no one at a distance, who is ignorant of our population, hold New York responsible for this. It has not produced the infidels and the atheists who have figured at the Assembly Rooms, any more than it has produced the abolitionists who—coming from New England, and the Northwest, peopled by New England— hold their anniversaries here, because it is the Empire City of the Union, because it has the largest population, and because the leading newspapers of the country are published in it, and will give circulation to their sentiments. Here the infidels hope, among so many inhabi- tants, to obtain a large audience; and, more- over, whatever is done in New York is sent abroad on the wings of its press. When we present our readers with reports of the say- ings and doings of the infidels or the abolition- ists, our object is to use them up. With the bane we send the antidote, which effectually kills it. Infidelism, like all the other noxfous isms, originates in old Massachusetts, of New England; but it spreads and germinates, and scatters its deadly seeds, till at length it reaches New York, where we arrest its progress by giving it a good ventilation. Exposure to the direct light of the sun is all that is necessary te wither those pernicious, rank weeds which spring up in the dark. The infidels and atheists who exhibited themselves here on Monday and the dey be- fore are only fit either to be inmates of a lunatic asylum or the penitentiary, or editors of such papersas the Tribune, or the communists of a Fourierite phalanx, where some of these journalists have received their education and taken their degrees. The doc- trines which they propagate are the off- spring of the morbid mental condition of Massachusetta—a soil in which every absurdity seems to be indigenous, and which is favorable to the growth and develope- ment of every foreign delusion. Hence Fourier- ism, Owenism, Fanny Wrightism, free farmism, free loveisem, women’s rightsism, Bloomerism, Sabbatarianism, Maine Liquor lawism, aboli- tionism, and the other isms imported from Enrope, thrive there as in a hotbed, and are disseminated through other States, In New York city their organ is the Tribune. We have been invaded from time to time by the mis- sionaries and propagandists of these pestilent abominations, and we have always repelled them. The most recent invasion is that of infidelism, to which our columns today bear ample testi- mony. These allies of black republicanism curse the constitution and the Bible with equal bitterness and malignity. Christians and Jews, Catholics and Protestants, equally share their denunciations. All law and order, Divine and human government, are alike obnoxious to the blasphemers. One of them has the shame- less impudence to say that their motto is, “So long as man believes in God he is not free; so long as there is one slave in America it is not free.” Thus aboli- tionism and atheism are identified, and every day are waxing bolder and bolder. Another of this gang declares that “the Christian Saviour was an ignorant man, inferior to Henry Ward Beecher.” “These gods,” he continues, “are ignorant creatures,” and he winds up with « resolution which cips the climax of the blas- phemy: “Resoived, that creators are account- able to the created, causes to effects, parents to children, gods to men;” and yet the fool had before said, “there is no God.” This is wor- thy of the philosophers and philanthropists who conclude Sunday's proceedings with a series of fifty-three revolutionary resolutions, in which they propose the overthrow of Church and State, of all religion and government, and law and property—thus resolving social order into anarchy and chaos. If the power of these mea were only equal to their inclination, their true types would be found in the Jacquerie of the French revolution, when the blood of the best citizens flowed ia torrents, when the right of property was annihilated, all the barriers of society broken down by human demons, and a naked harlot set up for public worship as the Goddess of Reason. In connection with their infidel and anarchi- sanctioned wrong; that the bloody, brutal- izing system of slavery in the United States has its vitality, power and perpetuity in the Union of the States, and that the Union pre- vents the right and protracts the wrong, hia- ders freedom and helps slavery, makes peace impossible and war unavoidable.” It will be thus seen that Charles Sumner is higher law prophet; for it is sentiments of the following resolution have been adopted from his speech:—“That in the constitutional provision by which that sectional scheme of iniquity has had Its own representation in the national Legislature, amounting to a balance of power, for its owa purposes, froviding itself an army and navy for tts own protection, and carrying on wars of conquest for the extension of its own dire domination, involving the renewal of the foreign slave trade, all supporters of the Union are fearfully reaponsible, and must be beld to account in the convictions of all the just.” The abolition of the army and navy by a majority in Congress is the first step in the biack repab- lican in order to the overthrow of the constitution and the inauguration of the reign of terror; for, say these infidels, “slavery makes peace impossible, and war unavoid- able.” The motto of the Frenok revobutionist, Danton, | Was “audacity;” and we ask could the sadacity | of traitors farther go tham these men, unless | they were taken In the overt act, like Joha Brown! Itis thus clenr that republicanism is in league with infidelity, and that Obristianity jaad the Bible are denounced because they sanction elavary., and that the overthrow of the
