THE PRESERVATION OF THE UNION.
We can conceive of 110 possible good to the
people of the American Slates that can com
pensate for a dissolution of the bond ol union
ihat now subsists between them. The blessings
of the union, in our view of the subject, are
paramount to every other blessing which they
could enjoy in a disunited condition.
! The founders of the Union so regarded the
question when they made the charter of union
-the Constitution of the United States. There
was no evil, in their eyes, so great as disunion;
and in this spirit they made the heaviest sacri
fices of opinion to attain the grand object of all
their earthly desires. The thirteen original J
3tates divested themselves of the highest ami
most important attributes of sovereignty, and
granted them to the new creation of the Fede
ral Government. They did it with the most
alarming leais for the future; but, happily,
the same people who conceived and established
the Constitution ot the United Slates, have
proved themselves to be capable ol preserving
and perpetuating that constitution and bond ot
union.
Among the sacrifices made by the people in
1789, when the Constitution was framed and
perfected, was the disposition of the slave ques
lion. That question presented itsell to the con>
venlion in the mosl hideous of phases. The
foreign and domestic slave trades both existed
at that time. How did that body meet it ? Did
the free Slates declare that they would not
unite with the slave States, except upon the
basis of the abolition of both these systems of
slavery ? Did the fice white men insist upon
excluding from the enumeration of voters the
negro blaves in the slave States ? Was there
any of the violent, biuer feeling, now sought
lo be engendered in the public inind upon this
slave question? The convention met the ques
tion as wise and good men, who had a higher
objoct to attain than even the extirpation, of
slavery. It was a terrible evil in the midst of
the country?far more terrible than il is now.
They resolved to tolerate it, nol to cure it.
Who shall say they did not act wisely ?
The foreign slave trade was abolished, and
each State was left perfect and absolute master
of the institution within its bounds. Live negro
slaves were declared to be equal, politically, to
three white freemen; and the black man, as
well as the while man, is now represented in
the Federal Government.
Glorious result! Glorious era!! Negro sla
very?horrible as the evil is, and always will
be, socially aud individually?was not suffered
to be an obstacle in the way of forming a com
plete union ol the original Stales. This union
has been preserved lor fifty-eight years, and
negro slavery has not prevented the eagle ol
its power from spreading his broad wings over
sixteen other and new States. Nor has the
evil of human bondage, present all this while,
increased in intensity or ferocity, notwithstand
iug the Constitution did not provide for its ex
liuction. On the contrary, il has been daily
and hourly changing ils character; and il lclt
to the management of the sovereignties in
which it exists, there is every indication that it
will be extirpated at a proper period.
In the face of these lacts, shall it be said that I
the question of negro slavery shall dissolve this
Union? Shall il be said thai ihis Union shall
not be extended, so as to embrace any new J
slave State, on pain of dissolution ol the Union!
Would not the evil of dissolution be len thou
sand fold greater lhan the evil of the admission
of a hundred slave States 7 " The Union il
mvst and shall be pieserved!" With this i pii
mary and eternal sentiment in the mind ol ihe
country, it will be fully competent to the task
of disposing of the question of admitting future
slave Slates. Let the same spirit animate fu
ture Congresses and luiure Presidents, as that
which animated the Convention ol 1789, and
all will go right, and the blessings of American
liberty will never fail. They will even reach
the negro slave, in due time. Let no opponent
of slavery say, thai negro slavery shall never be
extended wider any circumstances. Such a sen
timent is not worthy of any man who loves the
Union. Father let him say?the Union first,
the Union last, the Union forever. Let him
leave the question of slavery to the wisdom of
the Federal Government, to be settled with I
reference to the preservation of the Union.
Cursed be that man's hand which shall be lifted
up against the Federal Union! Anathema,l
marnnatha!!
What will be the fate of Mexico, it is not
for man lo foreknow ; though judging from
past experience, we think that a large portion
of her territory?if not all of it?is destined to
be surrendered to the United Stales. We do
not believe that il will be in the power of the
Whig party to prevent such a result, even if
it should get the ascendancy in the next House
of Congress. If wc are right, what is to be I
done with that territory ? Il is not vacant ter-1
ritory. Il is inhabited, free territory. Will ihe
opponents of slavery in Congress prefer to
dissolve ihe Union to receiving ihat territory,
unless it is received as free territory ? Will
ihe slave Slates prefer to dissolve ihe Union to
receiving that territory, uuless it is received as I
slave territory 1 Neither party, we are sure,
will take any such position, when the question
coines to be actcd on. It is a question to be
settled with reference to the preservation of the (
Union. ' Mighty and tcnible will no doubt be
the shock of conflicting opinions, when the
subject comes up to b? discussed and decided;
but we have no fears as to the result. Men
enough will be found to rally around the flag
of th? American Union, and to awe into silence
the voice of disunion, let it be heard in what
quartet it way.
THE PRESIDEJYTML PJiGEAJYT.
President Polk arrived in New York yester
day, amid more of pomp and parade than the
man or the occasion deserved. When a high
office is worthily tilled, we would acknowledge
it by suitable demonstrations of respect. To
enlighteued or patriotic men, high ia office, we
would reuder homage, irrespective of party.
But when such men as John Tyler and James
K. Polk, reach the Presidency, whether from
<tccitleiU or design, and after showing them
selves unworthy of that exalted station, make
Executive Pilgrimages, there is at least one
humble individual who will not be found
among their worshippers.
Ail the pusillanimous, unmanly and ignoble
caul about discriminating between the " Man"
and the " Office" is unworthy of American
freemen. Such absurdity is but one remove,
in knowledge and freedom, above the delusion
which abases itself to the worship of images.
We saw, in the House of Lords, and at a re
view in Hyde-Parke, an individual received
and honored as the King of Hanover, who
was abhorred and loathed, as he deserved to be,
as a man. This iu the way of things m the
Old World. But here, it is the man, aud not
the office, that should be kept in view, when
honors are proffered or withheld.
While John Q.uincy Adams, the patriot,
statesman and page, was President, though he
made no political pilgrimages, when travelling
from Washington to Quincy, instead of re
ceiving the attentions and courtesies due to an
eminent citizcn, he was assailed, slandered and
insulted by the whole Jackson and Van Buren
^ress. And now the politicians and the pres.
ses by whom Mr. Adams was pursued with
ridicule and ribaldry, ask Whigs to make pa
geants for Polk, a man whom they despise
themselves! Aud Whigs are good natured
enough to pay honors to a President, of whom
Loco Foeos, high in station, speak in unmea
sured terms of reproach and contempt!
As we have said before, the man who voted
against bestowing a few cords of wood upon
the freezing poor of Washington,.and who op
posed the noble contiibution which the House
of Representatives voted for the relief of starv
ing Ireland, may look elsewhere for homage or
respect.
The Washingtou Union says that the nomination
of Mr. Dallas came upon hiin early in tho morning
in his deshabille. We do not kndw how it could
come upeu him in any other way, for he baa always
been a satis culoltce iu politics.

CITY ITEMS.
The Russian Bath ?Mr. Whitney, at the corner
of 4 J street aud Missouri avenue, has fitted up, iu the
most splendid style, a Russian Bath. The luxury
of this bath is well known. It consists in the rapid
transition from the heat of vapor made from pure
water to the cold of ordinary spring water, passing
through the medium of blood heat. It is on this
wise. You enter an air-tight roomy box somo ten
feet high, and thrust your head out into the common
air through an aperture over which two napkins
hang. The door is closed and you draw close around
your neck the napkins. The vapoT is now let into
the box and immediately you fnel tho most delicious
sensations. They must b? realized to have any idea
of them. In the course of fifteen minutes, a buckot
of blood warm or tepid water is showered upon your
person increasing the agreeable sensations you felt
previously. Immediately thereafter a pail of cold
water is showered upon your body and in an instant
you feel as though you could leap over any obstacle
that might be presented to you for the exercise of
your saltatory powers. A rubbing with a coarse
towel follows and you have g jne through what evory
Russian daily enjoys,?a Russian Bath. Mi. Whit
ney deserves the prompt encouragement of (he pub
lic for his enterprise in this thing. Seo his advertise
ment. If every man, woman and child in the city
would take the Russian bath daily, disease would
soon disappear from our midst.
Ty*mi*.?Thw enterprising gentleman has in
front of bis door a remarkable figuie. It is an Indian
holding out the Calumet of Peace. At first blush,
one wouUl take it for Santa Ana handing the pipo
of peace to Gen. Scott, only the Indians perfect lower
exUemetieo dissipate the illusion. At all events Mr.
Tyson's invitatiou u> the smoking public will not go
unheeded, lor man/ will l?e the wayfarer who will
cuter his hospitable store and supply iheir pouch**
with tho weed in it* uuinuioua varieties.

Thk Capital.?We paid a flying visit this morn
ing to this far-famed edifice. The busy note of
preparation even at this early day broke upon our
earn from every quarter. We first paid our respects
to tho S. |)mC( 0r star Chamber, as it is familiarly
C?Wed, from the star carpet, we suppose, 01 the many
brilliant stars that congregate thero annually. We
fouutf the floor stripped of it* beautiful eaipet?the rich
and splendid chair and desk of Ute Vice President, the
desk of tho Secretary, the chair and desk of the
Senators thes gorgeous curtains that adorn the wall
*nd window, the magnificent drapery that surround
the chair of the President of the Henato, had all been
removed to |>o renovated and cleaned. Tho splendid
Benton chandelier has been removed not to be re
placed, in consequence of the introduction of gas; of
which we mil speak hereafter. We thought we had
noted all, but inadvertently casting our eyes up to
the richly ornamented ceiling, the American Eagle,
the proud bird of our country, met our gaze, with a
bundle ot arrows in one talon and the olive branch
in tho other; with hi* beak au'l talons extended, he
appeared to be about to utter a scream of diiinay at
the desolation which surroutidcd him. .Still one
object more met our eye?it w is the admirable por
trait o! die father o! his country, hanging against
the wall over the gallery occupied by the reporters.
He too appeared to be looking on tho confusion be
low, but it was with that calm, sc|f.pos*e?sed coun
tenance which was never rulHod amid the din of bat
tle, in the counsels of his country, or the chccrful
hearth of his own fireside. We notice also some
change iu the rotuudo?tho picturo of the Baptism
ot Pocahonlus and tho Landing of tho Pilgrim*
have changed places, for what toaton, wo did not
learn.
We next visited the hall of the House, here, too,
we found all in confusion?all the drapery and car
peling have been removed, for cleansing. All the
lamps in the Capitol, wo perceive, have been removed
and their [daces sypplied with pipes for the introduc
tion ol gas. Mr. Crutcholt, the enterprising propri
etor of the gas, has just received from Baltimore a
splendid spar one hundred and fivo feet long, which
will be placed on the dome for tho groat lantern to
rest on. Mr. C. informed us that the mast will be
80 feet above the dome, the lantern will be raiaod
25 feet above the top of the mast, making clear above
tho dome 105 feet, and nearly 000 feet above the
level of the avenue. Wo heard several gentlemen
remark, as the spar passed our office last evening,
that the dome would be unable to support its weight.
We learn that the dome will be braced and secured
by iron bars of sufficient strength to render every
thing perfectly strong and secure. The long iron
cistern for the gas will be completed this week. We
congratulate our fellow citizens that, from all ap
pearances the apparatus for manufacturing and con
ducting the gas and lighting the Capitol grounds
is nearly completed.
