Fall particulars of the bnrning of this steamer will bo found on our first page, this morning. Patriotism ou tbe Star. A Washington correspondent telegraphs that 37 hpplications have been made to Lincoln for the Richmond Post Office. Letter from Mr. Clemen*. An important letter from tbe lion. Sher rord Clemens, our representative in Con gress, will be fonnd in our paper to-day. Mr. Clemens does himself great honor in this letter, in tbe high anion position which he takes. He is remorselessly bit ter on tbe disunion movement in Soath Carolina, and on all who cither here or elsewhere sympathize with it, or in any way aid or encourage it- Ho will go to Washington prepared to make uncom promising war upon it, and will do so unless instructed contrawise by tbe peoplo of this district, (which is hardly proba ble,) in which case he will resign, and let them elect some fire-eater in his stead. He says what is the truth in bis letter, and what we hare said all along, and what we think is palpable on sight, and that is, that "the result of the recent Presidential election is made the pretext for an assault npon the Constitution, un der the forms of which it has been de cided." He speaks of the action of South Carolina as being "hot and indecent haste," which it is, indeed, and after giv ing it his unqualified condemnation, says that "it perils whatever ot merit there may have been hitherto in the cause of the South." This is also very true. Mr. Clemens' letter will be well received by his constituency, and we would not be surprised to see the democratic portion of it moving for his renomination, despite his expressed purpose of retiring from public life. His letter plncC3 him several lengths ahead of any of the ultras who have been impatiently waiting for his cast off slip pers, and if he has a mind to use liis ad vantages, he can bent them worse than he did the Argut jnnta in 1859. Our advice to Sherrard is to go in and win. Is our telegraphic columns yesterday morning appeared the following dispatch : Richmond, Ya., Nov. 21st.?The Enqui rer publishes an important letter from Gov. Letcher, in reply to a letter from Jas. S. Brisbin, of Pennsylvania, indicat ing secession, and stating that 200 A ir We wish we had been at Gov. Letcher's elbow when be was penning the nbovc mentioned letter, in order to tell him how utterly ho was wasting bis precious time. If he had known a hundredth part of wlint wo know about Mr. Jas. S. Brisbin, or Col. Brisbin, as he delights to call himself, be never would have wasted a letter on him. Never. He is the came chap whospoko at Washington Hall un the eve of the Presi dential election, and is, for his years, about as big a hnmbug as exists out of the United Stales CongrcRS. Wo aro persuaded that the Colonel will appreciate this l?st re mark of ours, perfectly. If he docs not, however, and will inform us, we will, in a a more elaborate manner, endeavor to ap prise him of our meaning. In the mean time, Governor, take no more notice of the stuff such fellows as Brisbin may write to you; for if you do you will soon be no better than Wise. Wb cannot bring ourselves to doubt tbe practicability of Democratic institutions. Yet the events now occurring in some por tions of the South, would seem legiti mately to suggest misgivings as to the outcome of our experiment in popular government. We recentlv read a remark, attributed to Fisher Ames, illustrating the difference between the working of a mon archical and a democratic government. It wus to the effect that "a monarchy is a merchantman which sails well, but will strike on a rock and go to the bottom ; whilst a Republic is a raft which may nev er sink, but then your feet are always in the tenter." This, in a somewhat general and del phic way, illustrates what was at least the conception of one noted American statesman, as to the difference between a monarchy and our form of government.? Such a thing as a pure democracy is, of course, unknown to the world, and al ways will be, for the simple reason that tbe peoplo must govern themselves by representatives, to whom they delegate the powers belonging to them in their en matte. capacity. The question was, with our fathers, how far power should be removed from the people. They graduated it as well as they could, and compromised their several opinions in the arrange ments known to the present Constitntion. Alex. Hamilton thought too little power bag been given to the federal government, and Thomas Jefferson thought too much, or at least full enough, had been taken away from the States. The two men rep resented the two extremes of opinion which were compromised in the adoption of the constitution. Hamilton was al most, if not qnite, a monarchist, while Jefferson was as near an approach to a French radicalMemoerat, as any American ought ever to be. Tbe question is now before the American people, whether tho compromise government effected by the fu sion of tbe opposite opinions of these two men, and those who respectively sided with them, will answer tbe ends intended, or, mora proper)/, tbe ends which might Ibetfn attained by tSi adoption of tb? rttp&lUe theories of either one' fttrem? to n* that we are now pnssing through an ordeal that must impress the people of this country and all other countries either for good or had, concerning our plan of government, and either thutj \vc will uow disintegrate ?uJ fail, as Hamilton feared wo would, or that we will, through the vitality of the demo cratic theory?which is but another name for the rc-activc infallibility of the popular instincts?rise superior to the dangors of the hour, and live and permanently estab lish the sway of our system. If the govern ment is notsuperiorto the contingencies ari singout of the operations of its fundamental idea, vix.,that of the elective or self-perpet uating provision?then, indeed, is it an ob vious an-l monstrous failure. An elective government, dependingon a periodical exer cise of the voting franchise, in order to obtain the instrumentalities, or, perhaps we should say the personalities, neces sary to keep the government in exis tence, is simply a palpable dead failure whenever from any cause the exercise of the franchise is nullified. And for the best reason in the world, that such a nullification makes a clean, final and irremediable overthrow of the elective principle. Either tho people must rule by majorities or they must resort to revolution and proclaim the end and failure of the popu larprincipleingovernment. Wc dcfyliving man tocon fate these alternatives. Well now, the disturbances going on iu parts of the South make up a case of this sort, and one which is to try the worth of the federative system of democratic compromises, which we call the government. And it seems to us, the more and more wo look into the matter, that General Jackson's heroic con clusions on these points?the right of seces sion and nullification?can never be im proved upon, but must now be either adopted and enforced or else their anarch ical antipodes conceded. And, of course, in a concession of the kind, government ends and revolution commences. For, as Jackson well said, To say that any State may at pleasure } secede from the Union, is to say that the United States are not a nation; because it would be a solecism to contend that any part of a nation might dissolve its connec tion with the other parts, to their injury or ruin, without committing any offcnce. Secession,like any other revolutionary act, may be morally justified by the extremity of oppression, but to call it a constitution al right is confounding the meaning of terms, and can only be done through gross error, or to deceive those who are willing to asserta right, but would pause before they made a revolution, or incur the penal ties consequent upon u failure. The question then is, as we said in the outset, will the government, either by choice or through the deficiencies of its plan of organization, yield to a faction, or will it prove strong enough to pat down that faction? This is the great problem? the greatest and most solemn of all polit ical problems ever tested?which is now upon its trial before the world.

[For the Intelligencer.} To tlie People or the Wheeling Qon greiatoual District la Virginia. Before the last Congressional election, I announced to you my desire to retire fr?m pnblic life. In repeating now that determination, I have to declare to you, my deep and unqualified thanks, for you kindness extended to me upon so many occasion? in the past; and to assure you that whatever ray future fate may be your favor shall not be forgotten. As a border people you have peculiar interest in the integrity of the Federal Government. The result of the recent Presidential election is made the pretext for an assault upon the Constitution under tbe forms of which it has been decided. The hot and indecent haste of South Carolina meets with my unqualified con demnation. It perils whatever of merit there inay have been hitherto in thecause'.of theSouth. It affords no remedy for alledg ed grievances, but will intensify every one of theui. It may precipitate a revolution, which will end in a return to colonial dependence under the crown of England, or in making the cotton States mere stipendiaries upon the despotism of France. It is not necessary now to enlarge upon these considerations. I thank GodI I have lived to do you some service in this crisis. I shall resume my seat at tho commence ment of the session, nnd by my vote and by my voice, I shall resist the consumma tion of this great wrong against the con stitution and tbe laws. I shall obey ilo command except that which comes from you. If you should differ iu opiuion with me; if you should think that treason to tho confederacy should be dignified with the name of patriotism, let your instructions meet me at Washington, nnd I will nt once resign into your hands, all the official power you have so generously conferred upon me." ^fiourobliged Fellow-citizen, Shkbrabd Clemens. St. Ch.vui.es Hotel, "> New Orleans, La., Nov. 16, 'CO. / Papers in the District please publish. "Secession,'1 says the OcciJcntal Maten ger, published at Independence, Missouri, "is a very pretty word ; it flows glibly from the pen, bnt tho qnc3tiou is, will it be of practical purpose ? Young men nt the corners of our streets, who smoke fine Hav.inas nnd spart moustaches and all the other concomitants of gentlemen, are very earnest in their declaration to support a seceding State. Bnt do they know thnt 'secession is treason,' and do they know the penalty? Their tender necks may he stretched by Kentucky or Missouri hemp if any 'overt act' is committed' Keep cool, young gentlemen, the proclamation of the old hero of New Orleans is still in force; the government of the United States is a 'fixed fact,' and some of these fine winter mornings you may wnko up. if you persist in your ideas, with a rather tight noose around your necks." . / .
