Our Weeldy Tribume was mcver in a more prosperous condition thaw mow, and we are determinsd to maintain s reputation as the most widely-read mewspaper in Amerwca. The Campaign edition has already gained an extraordinary civculation, and the orders are coming in with great rapidity. We stand alone in the great Me- tropolis as tha exponent of Republican principles, and the enthusiastic support we receive from nfi Sriends and mew ones—from friends and supporters everywhere—shows that the battle of freedom is not being fought in vain, somal fi"“n‘i’; election intelligence, and a careful digest of news. cial dispa E7 On the inside pages of lo~da’{': issue will be found Dramatic Criticisms, Law Intelligence, Femian- tsm, Commercial Matters, Market Reports, and interest- ing Correspondence. The Union State Central Committes of Ponnsyl- vania has issued an address to the people, through Mr. F. Jordan, which forcibly states the differences of the two parties and candidates. Vermont gloriously follows the Union triumphs of 1866, and, we believe, has spokon not only for Now- England, bnt for the whole North, in denouncing the treachery of Androw Johnson, and opposiug his new policy. An umusually full voto was polled, and the Union majority is uidoubtedly increased over that of 1865, when Gorv. Dillingham was elected by 18,720, Tho returns thus far indicate a gain of 5,000, and’ we shall not be surprised if his majority is nearly 25,000, The State Senate is again unanimously Ropublican, and in the House we anticipate slight gains—slight only because there is no room for great ones. Frode- rick E., Woodbridge and Luke Pollard have been elected triumphantly to Congroess from the First and Second Districts, but, unfortunately, the division in the Third District seems tohave resulted in a non-election. This, however, simply postpones the inovitable result. This triumph cannot be overestimated. W, of course, expected no loss than tho general result, but the large gains, in spito of the influence of tho Ex- eoutive given solely in-favor of the Conservatives, is proof that the Unionists, instead of being demoral- ised, are strengthened by Mr. Johnson's course. As an indication of the entire canvass throughout the North, wo hail this victory with new confidonce and hopo. Our Moxico corrospondence supplies some interest ing partioulars of the state of affairs in that country. Success continued to attend tho arms of the Liberals, and in some districts the Anstrian troops wore giving way before the guerrillas. The French troops were allowed to ovacuate Tampico with military honors. The Clergy were becoming open supporters of the Empire. A fillibustering raid from Californiainto the State of Sonora was spoken of as likely to take placo shortly. The news from Europe by Atlantic Telegraph yoatorday Is scanty. Bismark has declined to mest a deputation seeking the restoration of Northern Schles- wig to Denmark, The Indomnity bill has passod the Prussian Chambers by a large majority. A portion of the press of Germany charges Austria with a breach of faith toward her allies in making the treaty of peace with Prussia. Affairs in Saxony are assuming o threatening aspact. ‘We are enabled this morning to announce the im- portant fact that the Emperor Maximilian of Mexico has made up his mind and expressed his determination, in case the Empress should get no satisfactory ar- rangement for the support of his Government, to ab- dicate. Wo receive this news from a source which we have the strongest reason to beliove entirely trust- worthy. It is already known that the mission of the Empress to France is a complete failure. The col- lapse of the Empire and the restoration of the Mexi- can Republic may, therefore, bo expected to be near at hand. The Loyal Southern Convention will unquestionably daclare in favor of Impartial Suffrago, for the speeches yesterday indicated that the majority of the mem- bors kuow that it is an element which must onter into the pormanent recoustruction of the Union. The debates have been earnest but harmonious, and we are gratified that the delibera- tions ot the Convention have been perfectly unbiased by suggestions from the Northern delegates. Mr. Speed's election as President was prudent and de- sorved. The resolutions sbly set forth the enduring principles upon which the restoration of the South should be effected, and sustain the action of Congress 8¢ emphatically as they condemn the policy of the Presideat. The inaugural address of Gov. Throckmorton of Texas is moderate in tone, and he refers to his vote against the Ordinance of Secession in 1861 as proof of devotion to the Union mow. But as that did not prevent him from joining the Rebellion, it is scarcely of importance which way he voted. Of the freedmen, bhe says: *The changed rels. tions, so suddenly brought about, of the white and black races, will require of us much thoughtful consideration. It is a duty we owe alike 6 ourselves and to humanity to enact laws that will secure the freed people the full protection of all the rights of person and property guaranteed them by our amended Constitution. The day is not for distant, in my judgment, when the black people will be convinced that their truest friends are those with whom they have sported in youth, and who bave cared for thom from their infancy.” He might bave added who sold them when they were old enough to bring a price, fought to keep them in slavery, and now, by testimony not to be rejected, persecute aud defraud them. The black people do not ask for friendship; they want their full rights, .nd then they will have friends in plenty. THE SUPREME COURT AND THE PRESI- DENT. Mr, Johnson, in bis reply to the address of the Philadelphia Convention, described Congress as “‘a body hanging upon the verge of the Government "~ words ynmistakably insalting to the American people ‘whom Congress represents. If the Senators and Rep- resentatives of New-York, Pennsylvanis, New-En- gland, the Middle States, and the West, constitute s body hanging on the verge of the Government, the President, who is but one man, must hang outside of Y 4. This insult to the people has been frequently ropeated by Mr. Johnson, and is caused by the assortion of their right to determine the eeconstrue. tion of the Union by legislation, in opposition to Mr. Johuson's olaim to settle all questions by Executive action. Morally, this is a question as to who truly ropresonts the poople, the Senators and Represents- tives of 27 Btates, or the one man, who has become t by an sccident. unquestionably, far more thoroughly the 's prinoiples, and is in far wore intimate the people, from the fact that it ropresents all the of ovinion in every district - of every loyal State. The business of the to exocute tho laws, and not to make them. In this matter of roconatruotion, he is, not only morally, but legally, bound to carry out the Wecisions of Congress. In the oft quoted caso of Luther agt. Borden (7 How., U. 8. Rep. p. 1), which arose out of the ** Dorr war " in Rhodo Island, it was held by the Court (page 42) that, under the fourth soction of the Conatitution, the United States should guarantes to every Stato 8 republican forfh of governmont, &o., *‘it rests with Congress to decide what government is tho estab- lished one in the State. For as the United States guarantee to each State a republican form of govern- ment, Congress must necessarily decido what govern- ment is establishod before it can determine whather it is republican or mot. And when the Sanators snd Reprosentatives are admitted into the councils of the Union, the authority of the Government under which thoy are appointeg, as well as the rgpublican char- acter, is recoguized by the proper constitutional author- ity, and its decision is binding on every other department of the Government, and could not be questioned in & judioial tribunal.” ‘This decision ombodies the long establiched popu- lar and judicial opinien of the jurisdiction of Con gress, and it suggests that Mr. Johnson, who talks so much about the Constitution, would do well to read it. PRESIDENTYAL THEOLOGY. In & oortain senso of the word, the President of the Unitod Btates soems to be & remarkably theologioal charaoter. Whoever reads his Philadelphia oration will be struck by the number of his allusions to the Croator, o. g.: 1. “I trust in God that war will not return again.” 2. ‘I trust in God that the day is distant when man shall bo again set upon his brother.” 3. “In the name of*God raise his hand against the throat of his fellow-brother." 4. I trust in God that the day is distant when this land is again to be drenched in a brother's blood." 5. *“Thank God the baleful planct of war has been chased away.” 6. “God being willing, this Union shall be re- stored."” —As a mattor of taste, it would be superfluous to oritioizo these pious repetitions, propriety and refine- ment not boing exaotly the qualitics which we have aright to auticipate in the President's elocutionary strugglos—being qualities, in fact, which he does not well understand, and, so far as he is capablo of under- standing them, holds in top-lofty contempt. But when a man outside of a prayer-meeting promisou- oualy flings about the sacred name, ho is usually put into the catogory of profane swearers, and is furthor- more supposed to bein a passion. If we were to judge him by his speeches, the President exists in a condi- tion of chronic explosion. He oarrics about the wrath of Achilles packed in his manly chest, and wheuover ho encounters twenty ociti- zons and a brass band he begins forthwith to indulge in what, if he were of the other sex and a doalor in fish, we should certainly be forced to call soolding. Hence the Deistical pleonasms and ex- pletives above ocited. You oan have the same in Fulton Market any fine moming when you feel bold onough to tell some sprightly young butcher that his meat has advanced to an odorous stage of antiquity. You can have the same when, upon the crowded piers, tho loud-voiced hackmen contend for the trunks of luckless travelers. When these energotic gentlomen clamorously appeal to Heaven, the attendant police- man takes it for granted that they are secking to swindlo somebody. Of course the Presidentof the United States should be quite beyond the discradit of such an imputation. We are far from wishing to do the President injus- tice, and it is possible that these expressions indicate asuddon access of piety which will do Tlis Excel- lency no harm. At the same time, we can but advise him to be a little more economical in his adjurations, partly beosuse repetition injures the effect, and partly boeoause if he peppers his speeches 50 highly in the be- ginning, and goes on getting more and more exoited, he will not be able to do justioe to his feelings by the time ho reaches Chicago, unless ho is ready to rival tho army in Flanders. We know that he will take our admonition kindly; but if he should not, we have no desire for an office, and can calmly meet his dis; pleasure. WORK AND ITS WAGES. Massachusotts has vastly augmented the amount of her industrial products during the last decade. Althongh her population increased only at the rate of 3 per cent, her manufactures exhibit au increase of 72percont! The sum total of her industrial pro- ducts in 1845 was $124,000,000; in 1855 it was $295, 000,000; while in 1865 it reached the extraordinary result of $517,000,000. Yet Massachuasetts contrib- uted as many men and as much money to the War for the Union as any other Northern State. When the struggle closed, the credit to her on the books of the War Office was an honor to the old Commonwealth, It showed that she had been as prompt and patriotic in ber acta as she had been loyal. and philanthropic in her speech. Tho secret of the success of Massachusetts is ob- vious, She works, That is the whole of it. She has neither & slave, nor a servile, nor a lazy population. Rich aad poor, men and women, all alike honor labor in precept and praotice. Hence her industries are productive and diversified; for universal labor renders manifold forms of it inevitable; and universal educa- tion makes it easy to procure any number of intelli- gent work-people. Where there are no free schoole, skilled workmen cannot be found in sufficient num- bers to second and render profitable the enterprise of the capitalists. This is why the South is a wil- dorness—even the best cultivated portion of it— in comparison to its natural resources and capabilities. Her capitalists, however willing, cannot procure the necessary labor., BSingularly enough, they madly resent the attempts of the North to create it for them. Their old slaves might be made trusty and skillfal workmen, bus they murder the missionaries and drive off the teachers who alone can effect the needed change. Their poor whites aze too degraded to care for instruction; their middle whites are inadequate to supply the present demand for their semi-skilled labor; while their wealthy and ape-the-wealthy classcs look upon all work as ezsentially degrading. This is why the South grows poorer and more fooble day by day, and why Massachusetts every hour | the President in stigmatizing the Radicals as disunion. becomes richer and more powerful. RUM AND DEATH. Dr. Edward Jarvis, the President of the New-En. gland Statistical Sooiety, has furnished to the Secre- tary of the Commonwealth a few figures in relation to mortality by aleohol in Massachusetts and in the mother country. We find them in the 23d Registra- tion Report of Massachusetts; and, a3 the local papers have avoided all reference to them, we will take the trouble to transcribe them in & readable form. During the six years which ended with December, 1864, 788 persons died in Massachusetts from intem- perance and delirium tremens. Their ages ranged ! from 20 to 80. Of thisnumber 581 (or 73-56 per cent) wore males, and 207 (26-14 per cent) were feraales; or 35 women to every 100 men. By comparison with the English tables, it appgars that a larger proportion of females die in Massachusetts than in England, and & much larger proportion of them die in early life. In 1864 alone,93 men and 44 women died & drunkard's doath in the Old Bay State. The peroantage to ali deaths was 32, This indicates an increase of temper- ance; for the average during 11 2% preceding years was 35. American statistios are still a neglected study. No Btate or munioinal enumerstions are either suffigiontly | | ' JaAaT satisfactory to he professional statistician. Hevoo, wo are obliged to eke out every search after truth in this fortilo fiold of inquiry by reforence to English or Fronch tablos. In this case, the British standard authoritios are full and to the point. We quote from the tables of Mr. Neison, Acfuary of the Medioal, Invalid and General Life Insurance Company of Lon- don, and, without giving the details, proosed at onco to the comparative rate of deaths botwoen the intem- porate and others. Botween the ages of 15 and 20, of intomporate 18, of othors 10 persons die; botwoen 20 and 30, of intomperate 51, of others 10; between 30 and 40, of intomperat 42, to 10 of others; between 40 and 50, of intemperate 41 to 10; between 50 and 60, of intemperate 29 to 10; between 60 and 70, of intom- perate 19 to 10; between 70 and 80, of intemperate 20 to 10. Averaging the wholo poriod of life from 15 to 90, the result shows that 32 intemperate die to overy 10 other persons. These cstimates do not include moderate drinkers, but those ouly who are **decidedly addiotod to drinking babits.” The total, also, of other doaths is taken from the whole population; so that, n fact, tho disparity appears to bo lss Lhan in truth it is. Now, look at theso rates of mortality from the point of viow of equation of life. At the ago of twenty, the gonoral population bad an oqual chance (in round numbers) of living 44 yoars, while the intemperate havo the chance of living but 15 years and a half. In other words, they enjoy but 35 por cont., and have lost 65 por oent. of the ordinary proportion of average lifo. At thirty, they enjoy 33 per cent.; at forty, 40 per ocont; atfilty, 51 por cont.; at sixty, 63 per oent. The destruotive power of intemperance, it will be scen, sooms to inoreass from 20 to 50, At that period, Mr. Neison thinks, the decroase of mortality from thess oauses is rather due to the diminishing indulgence than the power of the body to resist. These statistics wero oollooted as a purely sciontific and business investigs. tion, and cannot, therefore, bo stigmatised as the va- garios of partisaus. Mr. Johnson and his followors have undertakon a task in comparison with which the making of bricks without straw was a holiday pastime. Loyalty is one thing, and disloyalty is anothor; oil is oil, aud water is water; and there is no chemist in the new party wise enough to mix them. In such a political specu- Iation as it has undertakon, the Conservative party must seo with Southorn eyes and sct according to Southern opinion. A respectable man like Gen. Dix caught in such slimy toils may think to keep his hands clean; but, to suve his soul, he cannot do it. From this hour until he omancipates himself, he is the tool of semi-repentant and of wholly unrepentant Rebels. Delilah has ball bis hair off al- ready. A party based upon homor and jus- itice, and truth, resolute against any exten- uation of political erimes, may, without compromising its integrity, oxtond its friondship upon stated terms, and need not acrimoniously keep alive differences which can be equitably adjusted. On the other hand, Mr. Johnsos party, while professing a larger love of the Union thau its opponents, is, perforce, from the very beginning, a suppliant for Southern favor and conntenance. Its business ia to beg pardon. Its calling is to comply. It is nothing if not obsequious. It is sectional from the start; and so must all partiea be, at this crisis, which make it their particular busi- ness to trampot their devotion to reconclliation. For a genuing and honest accord of all parts of the coun- try, we can afford to wait. It will come soon enough; and any other will come altoguther too soon. Mr. W. O. Stoddard, one ot President Lincoln’s olorks, who does not *“approve fully the eonduct or views of Mr. Johuson," writes to The Post Lo say that Mr. Lincoln, * asearly as the Spring of 1364, thought that poliey if mot justice demanded the immediate recognition of the loyal State organizations in Arkansas, Tennesses, and Louisiana, and the admission to Con- gross of their reprosontatives.” Mr. Stoddard tells us nothing strange. The late President certainly did de- sire to encourage the loyal sentiment of the South, and this dosire was only modified by the general appre- honsion of the active disloyal majority in the South. He did not desire to reconstruct the South by com- mitting its destiny to Rebels, and if Mr, Stoddard will further search his memory he will discover that the late President believed that the power of reconstrue- tion rested with Congress. “The N. Y. Times urges in disparagement, of the Louisiana Convention that It had done its work, adopted a Coustitution, organized and put in motlon & State (Governme) od dispersed, Its meeti was purely a trick—openly aund avowedly @ de- vice to Negro Suffrage upon the Stato—oonts to be that an: thing more by its own leaders and their allies at ‘Washiogton, Less than thirty of its members were present, and this reckless faction, without the least warrant of law or sanction of the people, intended to force upon the Siate a Constitution which sbould establish Negro Suttrage.” —The Times ought to know that a quorum of the Convention was 76, and that it could do nothing of | moment till such quorum was present. Gov. Wells had ordered an olection to fill the vacant seats, and there was no thought of decisive action till the parishes in Rebel hands when the Convention was originally chosen should have chosen delegates. If the Convention had no longer a legal e or was unable to form a legal quorum, the butchery of its members and supporters was utterly without excuse. To kill or maim two or three hundred unre- sisting men because two dozen of them are enacting an idle farce, is murder most wanton and inexcusable. —_— Mr. John P. Cook is running for Congress as the Johnson candidate, against the Hon, Hiram Price, in the I1d (Davenport) District of Towa. In hix speech, | accepting the nomination, he says: * He voas opposed t taration without representation; and mo political orgauization could rule this country uother year while repudiating the great cardinal prineiple upon which this Government was frawed.” — M. Cook here lays down a principle on which we are not merely ready but anzious to close the existing controversy. Just agree that every man who is tazed shall vote, and mone other, and we ask no more. But Mr. Cook, if he were elected, would vote to ratify and uphold Btate Constitutiong, whereby every Rebel is allowed to vote, though he pays no taxes, while most of the unflinching Unionists, though tax-payers, are disfranchished. Such is * conservatism ' —_— The Daily News alone among our jonrnals, justifies tence, ts and traitors. Here is what the stanch New- York organ of the Rebel Confederacy has to say for the sucoessor in its affections of Jefferson Davis: * Exception is taken to the bold, determined, vlrwrom lan- e with which Mr. Jobneon annoutces his fdelity to the Constitation, and his determination to uphold it at all haz The attempt is mnde to impress the publio mind with the be- lief that the words used h{ bim are uncalled for, and the milder lan applied to ihe disunioniste would be In better taste, Bnt in this view of the case the Radicals are mistaken. The ‘resident has a bitter, uurelesting foe to the Union to com- bat, and the times are too fruitful of doubt and danger to allow of sn indulgence in equivoque or the flowers of rhetorie. In #peaking to the people, as be does, he is seeking, in o legm- mate manner, to arouse them to ghe sense of the perils which environ the cause of peace and Ubion. In order that they may better understand him, he fluds it necessary & polnt oatin plsiv, lionest Baxop, and o a way tbat they may il under- stand, who are the enemies of the country, aud who are those whose efforts tend to prevent the restoration of the States to their old couditions.

Certain officers of the Chicago Convention were authorized, in their dis- cretlon, to reconvene it. We hold that they may, should they see fit, exercise this disoretion to-morrow, And, should they do so, we entreat that all who molost the reassembling delogatos, whather by aryests of mobs, may be sternly doalt With, | letter; the honored signature at the bottom 1860.
