No alliance, how- ever strict between the parte, can be an adequate substi- tute; they must inevitably experience the infractions and interruptions which all alliances, in ai time, nave expe- rienced. Senstbie of this momentous truth, you have Amproved upon your first essay by the adoption of a con- stitution of government better calculated than your former the an intimate Union and for the efficacious ma- nagement of- your common concerns.

Respect for its authority, compliance with its laws, acquiescence in ite measures, are duties enjoined by the fundamental maxims of true liberty. The basis of our political sys- tem is the right of the people to make and to alter their constitutions of government; but the constitution which at any time exists till, changed by an explicit and authentic act of the whole people, is sacredly obligatory upon all. The very idea of the power and the right of the people to establish government presupposes the duty of every individual to obey the established government. All obstructions to the execution of the laws, all com- Dinations and associations, under whatever plausible character, with the real design to direct, control, coun teract, or awe the regular deliberation and action of the constituted authorities, are destructive to this funda- mental principle, aud of fatal tendency. They sorve to ‘organize faction, to give it an artificial and. extraordi- nary force, to put in the place of the delegated will of the ation the will of a party, oftena small but artful and enterprising minority of'the community, and, accord tug to the alternate triumphs of different parties, to make the public administration the mirror of the ill- concerted and incongruous projects of faction, rather than the organof consistent and wholesome plans, ai- gested by common counsels, and modified by mutual wmtereste. However combinations or associations of the above description may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely, in the course of time and things, to become potent cugines, by which eunning, ambitious and un- Principled man will be enabled to subvert the power of ‘the poopie, and to usurp for themselves the reins of go Vernment, destroying, afterwards, the very engiues which had lifted them to unjust dominion. Towards the preservation of your government and the permanency of your present happy slate, it is requisite, Bot only that you steadily discountenance irregular oppo. ‘itions to its acknowledged authority, but also that you Fesist with care the spirit of innovation upon its princi ples, however specious the pretexts. Une method of as- Sault may be to effect, im the forms of the constitution alteratious which will impatr the energy of theaystem and thus to undermine what cannot be directly overthrown, In all the changes to which you may be invited, remem- ber that time and habit are at least as necessary to fix the true character of governments as of other human institu. tions: that experience is (he surest standard by which to test the real of the existing constitution of a country; that facility in changes, upon the credit of mere hypothesis and opinion, exposes to perpetual change, from the endless variety of hopothesis and opinion. and remember , especially. that for the efficient management ‘of your common interests, in @ country #0 extensive as ee at much vigor ag f e tent with ect security of liberty ie indispensable.

In every instance the scone was peculiarly impressive. ‘The troops in the respective divi- sions were drawn up in line, and each man listened with marked attention. The patriotic enthusiasm aroused by the nodie sentiments of the Father of his Country was fully attested by the cheers which followed the reading of the Address, when the bands struck up patriotic and appropriate airs, and these, intermingled with the enthu- siastic cheers of the volunteers, rendered the scene @x- coedingly animated. Salutes were fired from the field batteries and from the forts along the whole line of our defences, the surround ing country reverberating the booming of the cannon. Arumor prevailed that the rebels, ayticipating the absence from their commands of our Generals in the Army of the Potomac, who had been invited to attend the grand celebration in Washington, would make an attack on our forces in front, hoping to counterbalance their recent disastrous defeats in other quarters by achieving @ victory on the Potomac; but those who were well posted in the situation of affairs discredited the rumor, which proved to be unfounded. Due precaution had been taken, and our troops were prepared to moet any overtures of the rebels for a battle. After the regiments had been dismissed, they amused themselveg in various ways, While daylight lasted tar. get shooting and numerous other outdoor sports were ii dulged in. Subsequently the men enjoyed themseives in their quarters in a more convivial manner. ‘The recent glorious victories of the Union arms, and the memories recalled by the recurrence of this apniver- sary of Washington’s natal day, have had a most in- spiriting effect upon our treops in the Army of the Poto- ‘mac, who are now awaiting their opportunity to crush the rebels at Manassas and march victorious to Richmond.

This statement seems so reasonabie in all its parts, that, in the absence of more direct information, we build strong hopes upon it. The telegraph must surely be down between Cleveland and Nashville, as we receive no news from the latter, where we most naturally expect it.
