Certuinly there could be no good rea- son for its doing so. And it has not done so. We now use the Greek fire. Why should we despise Delphic oracles? Mr. Robert Dale Owen holds one or two official positions under the government, and, aa he Is a recognized light of spiritualism, his services in that capacity are in great demand in and around the White House. ‘The new seience is made use of pretiy extensively in neatters of busiieas; and to what more important business could it be applied than to that of President making? The Presi- dential election of 1864 has already become a question of transcendent interest at Washing- ton. The siege of Charleston, the movement of Meade’s army, the operations of Rosecrans in ‘Tennessee, the uninterrupted cruising of the Anglo ‘ynfederate pirate ves-cls, the French occupation of Mexico, the condition of the sury, and even Jeff. Davis’ last. pro- ela no of freedom to the slaves, are all questions of minor interest and importance there. then, consult the spirits on Why not | the all-absorbing topic of who is to be the of the Uutted States, ~ The consultation bas, in fact, © seanece has been held. The assembled, and the question is as murky aad uosettled as before. It seems that every member of the adminis- from Mr. Lincoln down to Rip Van Winkle Welles, was equally fidgeity, uneasy and anxious to get some spiritual indications as to how the Presidential wind was blowing. Mr. Owen bad finished his report on the condition of the emancipated uegroes, and was ready for any other dark business that might be assigned to him. ife was therefore summoned to attend an extraordinary council at the White House, and to be prepared to exercise all his necro- mantic arts. He obeyed the summons. Seated around a table in the council chamber he found all the members of the Cavinet assembled, with No reason next Presi n place. tration + | Mr. Lincoln at their head, and several of the assistant secre.aries scattered around. Mr. Lin- coln aanounced the object of the meeting, stating that there were half a dozen Presiden- tial aspirants present, and that they wanted to consult the shades of the mighty dead, so as to discover on whom his mantle was to fall in March, 1865; or whether b. Limself was to wear it for four years longer. Sadly smiled the Indiaua wizard, and set abcut obeying orders. The lights were extiaguished in the chamber, silence sealed the lips of al! Mr. Lincoln him- self actually abstained from relatiag a little anecdote that came to his mind, the Secretary of State let his segar die out, and then Mr. Owen aanounced that the spirits would permit the eidolon or image of the next President to pass before their eyes, And, sure enough, a spectral shadow, like the ghost at Wallack’s, glided siowly and solemnly a: roeg the chamber and disappeared. This was the face and figure | of Mr. Lincoln’s successor; but the spectators wero no wiser than ever; for they could not agree 98 to whom it represented. Some hinted that go much grace of form and dignity of de nent assimilated the anactre to our pr Chie: Magistrate; others thought that the Cwsar- like profile could mean no one else than the Secretary of State; others saw in the smooth, high brow some resemblance to the Secretary of the Treasury; a Nazarene style of wearing the hair parted in the middle suggested Fre- mont, and the calm rigidity of features indi- | cated to some the cool, thoughtful, resolute signiag bonds for the $3,000,000 conscription | Banks. The seance broke up without any definite idea having been arrived at, and with the question of the next Presidency as far from 8oiution as if there was no such science known as that of spiritualism. We have not heard that any further experiments have been made in that direction. President making is a funny business, and this new feature in it is one of the atrangesi and most interesting developments of modern days. If it can be carried ont to any degree of perfection it will do away with the nuisances of primary meetings, caucuses, conventions, mess, assemblages, shoulder hitters, rowdies and stump speakers, and will remit the busi- ness Into the hands of the professors of spiri- tual science. Verily, the world moves. The Swashbuekiers of the Seuth and , the Roundheads of the Nerth. About two years ago the Southerners began to give the North and the world \at large the full benefit of their rhetoric. Previous to’ that announcements’ of Southern superiority had been made in a somewhat quiet way, and the rancor of the Southern tongue had only been occasional; but then it Jost all limit. Ralph Royster Doyster was put to the blush by their common conversation, and in. their extraor- dinary efforts they surpasged all’ the first rate malignants and all the bard swearers of an- tiquity. Then it was that we-keard of “Soutb- ern courage” and “Southern will;” of the “hot blooded, impe‘uous men of the, South,” who were to “scald. and skin” the Northern swine; whose deep Scuthern eyes were to “lighten in battle;” who were to wreak on somebody a “sublime venzeance;” who “panted for the on- set,” and wan‘ed “gcarlet’ shrouds.” Then we beard, too, that Southerners were the real “Spartans, emall in numbers, and each man a host.’ Also that: they were the mediwval Latin rdces—“brave, impulsive and gene- rous.” Also that they were descended from races—not ‘named—that had “mo- nopolized the chivalry of th) world.” Southern companies formed for the war under the modest designations of “Dare Devils,” “Yankee Gatchers,”’ “Pet Wolves” and the like. When the President called for seventy-five thousand men the Southern papers advertised for the came number of coffins. Glimpses were given of the magnificence of Southern ideas. There was to be a Southern confederacy which would treat the men, who bad elected Ligcoin as “Insurgents;” and, ‘after taking the federal capital and archives,” the said confederacy “might treat with the Northern States,” but only as a matter of magnanimity; for, otherwise, it would be “difficult for the Northern States -to take a place among nations.” There was even a Louisiana Bobadil who actually pro- posed that a ficld should be chosen which would have no advantage of position for either side, and that Lincoln, with one hundred thon- sand men, should there meet Davis and fifty thousand men, and so fight the quarre! ont; and if Davis were beaten the South wns to submit to whatever the North might dictate. All this swagger and rant came habitually from Southern men, and apparently did no violence to any Southern eense of propriety. Throughout the South ‘this swagger excited No especial observation; for the spirit out, of which it grows permeates Southern life. Southern men are vaporers through and through, and swagger from the cradle. Popularity comes with lofty phrases, and the better they can rant the better men they are. We see in this the descent that they claim from the cavaliers; but we see particularly the “swashbuckler” part of it. “Roaring boys,” into which the cavaliers inevitably ran, aré now the choice material of Southern society, and give tone to the whole. Here at the North we have some of this same material. It makes a great noise at the races, cultivates sport, runs to fires, and does no more. But the South keeps it mounted on its favorite “honor and aqua vife—two fiery, mettled jades”’—and insists that it shall rule, and ride to the devil, if it will. Ahd, while they claim their gentle descent, Southerners iuvariably assign to us a descent from the other side of that old political ques- tion, We ere the Roundheads; and we can stand the nickname. If “the men of Naseby fought at Bunker Hill,” they were also heard from at Antietam, and the garrison at Fort Wagnér re- spected their, presence. ‘They have gone on quietly, these stern and earnest fellows, with some few fanationl notions in their heads, and a prayer ox two for special occosions. And now where are they? While the Southern Ruperts—all binster and jingle—have ridden their cavalry over the country, the Northern Cromwells—balf a dozen of them—lave ridden straight into the fight, and cut right av those who would annibilate the goveir and trample under foot the last vestige ¢f our freedom. What, then, becomes of Soutvern superiority? General Lee knows very well that he greatly outnumbered the Army of the Potomac at Gettysburg, and he probably does not think that one cavalier is equal to two Roundheads for the practical purposes of abard fight. Leave out the battles attributable to McDowell and Pope, and every battle of the war is a record of the superiority of our North- ern men, Shilob, Pea Ridge and Corinth; Mur- freesboro, and the grand tenacity exhibited there, all attest it. Sodo Vicksburg, Gettys- burg, Port Hudson and Marye’s Hill. In the seven days before Richmond the Southern army, with the impression that It was victori- ous all the time, was worn down and beaten to pieces by an army constantly in retreat be- fore it. But it is worthy of note thst recent events have effested a change in the Southern style. They bluster much less. Since they talked as above great events have taken place. Many Southern Lomes have become desolate, and many Southern hearts, erewhile “fired” by those lofty speeches, have | grown cold. Toombs has beiaken him to @ | quiet life; Yanoey fis dead, and Mason has | been to Boston “as an ambassador.” Southern armies bave been fairly beaten in at least o round dozen great battles; and even a Chinese | scholar of the first class would hardly talk of invincible valor against such « fact as that. Southern moderation is « good sign, It indi- cates very clearly that the vaporera have beep | awept aside, and tat loss noisy and better mon | are taking their plac st the helm. And, while these last will certy.o! jeld any ooner "than the efvers world we men ith with it when it comes. The Project of an American Continental Alliance. The scheme started by President Juarez, of an alliance, offensive and defensive, between the American republics, is by no means a new one. In 1825 the proposition of a congress at Pana- ma to organize a somewhat similar league was favorably entertained by our government, and in his first annual message President Adams announced that representatives on the part of the United States bad been commissioned to attend it. On the message and accompanying documents being referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations, a report was made in the following month condemning the mission, and ending with a resolution declaring it to be in- expedient to send ministers to the ‘congress. This report gave rise to a warm debato in secret session in the Senate, and the report was negatived by a vote of twenty-four to nine The nominations made by the President were confirmed, and in the House of Representatives the bill making the appropriation for. the mis- sion was carrled by & large majority. On his way to Patiama Mr. Anderson, one of: the com- missioners, was attacked with fever at Cartha- gena and died, and vis colleague, Mr. Sergeant, not having bad time atter the decision of the question in the House fo prepare for the meet- ing, declined at so sdvanced a period of the season to encounter the risk of a journey across the isthrus. On the 224 of June the Commissioners of Peru, Mexico, Central America and Colombia assembled, as appointed, at Panama. Neither the government of Bolivia nor Chile was rep- resented. England anf the Netherlands sent diplomatic agents; but they were not allowed to be present at the deliberations of the con- gress. Communications were, however, regu- larly made to them of its proceedings. The congress continued its sittings until the middle of July, and the result was the conclu- sion of a treaty of friendsbip and perpetual con- federation, to wh'c) all other American Powors might accede within the year. The treaties be- tween the assembled Powers were recognized and renewed, and the meeting of the congress, annually in time of common war and biounial- ly in time of peace, agreed upon. The next. mecting was fixed to be held at Tacubaya, near the city of Mexico, in February, 1837, Com- mnissioner, were sent there on the part of the United States; but not only did the congress not assemble at ihe time specified, but the ar- rangement \s future meetings, owing to the internal iotions of Colombia and Peru, aad the appre! cisions entertuined of the ambitious designs of Dolivar, were abandoned. Tee history of this league should be example sufficient to us of the impolicy of trammelling ourselves with alliances with such unstable cand unreliable governments as (ie Sout Ame- rican republics:. We have nothing to gain by such engagements. We are sufficiently power- ful to maintain, unaided, the police of this continent witkont binding ourselves to take up the defence of every petty American Power which may expose itself to re- clamations on the partof the European govern- ments. We are ready to assist the American republics in defending their institutions against foreign aggression, but not in persistent wrong doing. Thus, so long as the des'gn: of Franc: were confined to the object of compelling the government of Mexico tom: k+ reparation for spoliation of French residents, we had no word of remonstrance to off:r. It is only since those designs have matured themselves into a scheme of conquest and aggrandizement that we invoke the Monroe doctrine against her. This is the true position for our govern- ment to take in dealing with difficulties be- tween our sister republics and the European Powers. While we steer clear of entaugling alliances we must always ‘be ready to maintain the inviolability of American institutions against foreign encroachments. Toe Horserty asp Tue PRreswwexcy.— When President Lincoln took into his Cabi- net hisrivals for the Chicago nomination, including Messrs. Seward, Chase, Camevon and Bates, we had our misgivings that he was trying an unwise and dangerous experi- ment—something like that of poor Pierce—of harmonizing the different factions of his party tipon the basis of the spoils, instead of consoli- dating an impregnable party around him upon gveat principles and great administrative mea- gures, But experience has shown that Presi- dent Lincoln's shrewdness and sagacity are équal to the management of a whoie Cabinet of Presidential’candidates, each and all pull- ing in diiferent directions. General Cameron has been quietly put on the re‘ired list: Mr. Jetly fallen back among the super- anouated; and while Mr. Seward, absorbed in his never endiog but still beginning diplomatic correspondence, has been engineere:| out of the way by Mr. Chase, a recent homely illus- tration of the President will serve to show that the aspirations of the Secretary of the Treasury are therongbly understood by his mast r. We are informed that in a recent familiar White House conversation, which incidentally tonched upon Mr. Chase as a Presidential can- dldate, “Honest 01d Abe” dryly remarked that he would not for the world dispossess the Secre- tary of the Treasury of this Presidential idea. “Let me,” said the President, “explain. When I was yet a lad, working on a farm in TUinois, I wag ougaged with a brother, once upon a time, in the tedious Uusiness of ploughing with a very Yazy old horse. No amount of beating would induce him to increase his usual speed, which was the slowest and the sleepiest possible walk. It was my business to guide the plough, while’ my assistant, to the best of his abitity, with a two hand hickory, kept old Davy in motion. We were all creeping slong, old Davy quietly taking our blows and our abuse, when suddenly he move! off at the pace of a young oolt just put in the harness. ‘What's the matter” Linquired. ‘Oh,’ said my brother, it's a great big hovsefly, fastened on, old Davy’s neck; shal! 1 drive him off’ ‘No, no,’ said T; ‘as long a be keeps old Davyszoing at this rate, let the horsefly alone. With his asdstance we shal get heap of wopk out of old Davy.’ So it is with Mr. Chase. “The next Presidency is bis horsefly, and it ‘makes the putsiotic Secretary as lively at his,work as old Davy. Let the horsefly alone.” Noed anything further be saf@ to prove the aagacity of Prosident Lincoln in uot disturying for the present (his horsefly of Mr. Chase?

We noticed the other day that Secretar Sew- ard was writing leaders for tho milk and wa‘et Times; but it seems that the honorable Secre- dary has tired of this useless labor, and that the Chevalier Raymond again wields the edite- riaf peu. An article in the Tes of Saturday last quite rivals Raymond's famous easay upon “the elbows of the Mineio” and “the sym- pathies of youth.” The article is entitled “Our Foreign Wrongs—Mr. Sumuer’s Speech.” This is a very queer heading; for’ it insinnates that Mr. Sumner’s very long ard verbose oration was a “foreign wrong;” whereas it wag only a domestic infliction and affliction. However, this blunder is exceeded by the body of the editorial, ia which Sumner aad Seymour, Eng- land and the State of New York, the draft and the invasion of Mexico, Mosquito Indians and ® more vigorous prosecution of the war, are jumbled and muddied together in a style which must have bewildered even the regular readers of the Times, accustomed as they are to such senseless effusions. The Chevalier Raymond had undoubtedly been dining and wining with somebody just before he wrote that leader. Mixed liquors produce mixed editorials, Tue Reon State Coxvextions.—The real issue before the recent conventions was not in regard to candidates, but in regard to princi- ples. The niggerheads tried hard to get con- trol of the Syracuse Convontion, and the cop- perheads were equally anxious to manage the Albany Convention. We ask the particular at- tention of our readers to the result. Both con- ventions were decidedly and unequivocally conservative, and repudiated niggerheads and copperheads alike. Who doubts that they re- present the sentiments of the people? Tue Optovs Measunus oF ue ApMINISTRA- Tiox.—The Democratic.Convention boldly con- demned the odious Emancipatioa, Confiscation, Conscription and Indemnity acts. The Repub- lican Convention shirked all responsibility in regard to these measures, and tried to ride two horses by endorsing the emancipation Proclamation as “a war measure.” This jug- gling trick will not succecd. The. republi- cans will be hold to their responsibility at the polls. Poor Greeter axp Tux Cowie Evrotioy.— Hore. Greeley seems very much worried about the approaching election. He gives New York Stateup as a gone case, and flies off to Towa and Obio for comfort. We are perfectly content to abide the issue of the election in this State.
