SnrlUM tt- W ind and Rrapin| Ike Whirlwind. Two things are necessary to a pood Government, and they are equally neees sary to its strength and atability—one is just laws, the other is their enforcement. A good Government linn its firm basis, not in laws hut in righteousness and jus tice—in ihfe etifeal principles of right from which human laws derive all their authority and sacredness. Being thus es tablished, its lawH are, of court*, just applications of the principles of right to the outward relations of human life they recognise and protect the natural rights of men they harmonize with conscience and their rigid enforcement answers to the sentiment of justice implanted in the tie human breast, and meets a full want. The Government commands the reverence of its subjects it is supported by the moral forces of the human heart and is strong and stable because it is just. If, then, it is necessary to the strength juid stability of Government that just laws should be rigidly enforced, what •haU we say of unjust laws and their en forcement Suppose the existence of barbarous and inhuman laws—they are nothing unless enforced—is a Govern ment strengthened as the result of en forcing them or the contrary We ask this question ia order to call attention to and expose the prevalent error that a Government is strong and safe as long as its 4aws, however unjust, are enforced with promptness and rigor. Many have said, "abide by the Constitution and com promises to the letter, and all will be well enough." Many have had the ridicu lous notion that the great necessity of peace for the nation is the uttter des truction of "the undir-grouml railroad," on the one hand, and the merciless exe cution of the fugitive slave law, on the other. The humane and lihprtv-lnving spirit which has offered some resistance to the enforcement of thiSTlaw, they have regarded as one chief source of our troubles. In like manner, the crime of the Kansas-Nebraska bill having been committed, the further crime of enforcing Union. The end of the Dred Scott de cision was peace and the Union. Tluse measures which, in the light of the eter nal right, must, one and all, be pronounc ed utterly unjust and wicked, were sup posed to be indispensible to the perma nency of the Government and Cnion. What has been the result? No one needs to le reminded of the historical fact that these grand peace measures were the oc casions of immediate and dangerous agita tions, and that, instead of giving peace and union, they only helped to precipitate the fearful war now in progress. They tend —eiiil»iu.er rather than conciliate the two sections towards each other, giving no abiding satisfaction to the South, and arousing the indignation of the North. They involved the utter denial of the eternal principles of humanity and jus tice, anil they were, consequently, des tractive assaults upon the very founda tion* of Government, mighty fdedge-hani •wrs kfinokimr »«*v and deadly thrusts at the nation's heart! Tbt Government, under successive ad ministrations that adopted these peace Measures and undertook to carry them mt, grew, in eon**gunfire,., .weaker and more corrupt continually, till, finally, it reached such a depth of wickedness and depredation as to be justly deserving of the1contempt of th^ nation md the world. It is a fact that the mos't rapid and fright- most rapid descent of the Government into the slough of utter debasement and im bt lity, are connected, historically, with $ic Fugitive Slave Law, the Nebraska bill, Und the Dred Scott decision—a hideous triple monstrosity, forced into being for the sake of saving the country. Now look at the country These filthy abor tions of politics prostituted to the Moloch of slavery were parts of a grand scheme for saving the Union. Look at the Uni on They were declared to be Constitu tional, and, therefore, binding upon all the people and it was represented every where that the peace and prosperity of the country depended upon adhering strictly to the Constitution, and abiding by all Constitutional laws and obligations. But, it seems, these celebrated peace measures, alleged to be Constitutional, have utterly failed to preserve the peac^. The Gov ernment, proceeding according to these measures, brought itself to the verge of ruin and, instead of peace, we have a most fearful war. The mighty lesson from these facts is, that unjust and in human laws tend directly to work the des truction of a Government and nation.— The enactment of such laws is sowing to the wind and the enforcement of them, the bringing on of the whirlwind. The only hope for the Government and. nation is, in righteousness and justice.

He has the sig siou to the injustice, on the part of many, natures of all the prominent rebels in the Was not willing and cheerful, it was thought that it m«st be compelled, and the spirit of insubordination crushed out, or there was an end of all government.—— A false step having been taken, the Gov ernment was shut up to the hard alterna tive of either backing down or of seeking to recover its lost strength and stability by heartlessly pursuing its way to the bit ter end though, in so doing, running against the moral sentiments and the re monstrances of its best mid worthiest subjects. So, many thought that the Dred Scott decision must be respected as authoritative and bindiug, however wicked and inhutuau, or there was an end of all justice in the land. Here, then, we have one illustration and the refuta tion of the error uuder consideration. The end of the fugitive slave law was peace and the Inion.

Moore was here, recently, being informed that a rebel preacher, named Rush, had succeed ed in (rettingcharge of the Public School here, and was promulgating the doctrines of rebellion among the people, and de priving the loyal and respectable citizens of the privilege of sending their children to school, and thus monopolizing the pub lic money for the benefit of the disloy al ones, he (Col. Moore) went to the Trus-~ tees and politely informed them that they were going it with too much of a rush, and they would hare to "drive slower," that he had come to the conclusion that "school couldn't keep'' any longer, unless they could find some better man than Mr, Kush that rebels could neither teach nor preach in Athens while he was "bull of the tan-yard." It is needless to describe the way the preacherruthed out of town, nor is it necessary to say that he has not been heard from since. A man named Hunter, a lawyer of Waterloo, who fought on the rebel side in the battle here, has been circulating a pe tition among the rebels of the vicinity to Jeff. Davis, requesting the appointment county on the paper, among which are those of the clcrks of the Circuit and County Courts of. Clark eounty, and O. i\ Childers, Juntiee of -th«* Peace*—It is to'be hoped thai Col. Moore, or some other Federal officer, will get hold of the paper and bring the signers to judgment. Mr. Hunter inquired of the Clerk of the County Court if he thought President Davis would pay any attention to the pe tition, the Clerk replied that he certainly would, as Missouri had been acknowledged as belonging to the Southern Confeder acy. J. Y. W. President LIB««1B'I Flat Levee. The President gave his first levee of the season to-night. The White House was thronged with a brilliant company of citizens and civil and military officers ot the Government. The President, al though not wearing that ruddy glow that he had when he lirst cauie to Washington from the West, looks quite healthy, an*^ was pleasant and sociable. Mrs. Lincoln never seemed in finer spirits She was 1 attired in a light figured silk brocade ele gantly flowered. I pon her head was a beautiful wreath of flowers, and her fing ers sparkled with diamonds and pearls. Next to the President in attraction was Gen. MeClellan. The moment he enter ed the house all eyes were turned upon him. The President giasped the Getier a! with both hands, saying, "My dear General, I am glad to see you and Mrs. MeClellan." The 1 'resident then conduct ed Mrs. MeClellan to Mrs. Lincoln. Mrs. MeClellan was a new star in the Presi dential mansion, and shared the honors with Mrs.Lincoln with a modest grace and dignity that won her ho-ts of admirers.— She is of medium height and fine form. Her eye is a hjuel, splendid and speak- Secretaries Cameron, Smith and We lies and Indies were, present, also Assistant Secretaries Scott, of the War Department, and Seward, of the State .Department, with their ladies. The great fact which maiked the levee with some degree of im portance and which may hereafter be quoted as significant is, that the Ministers of Kngland, France, Spain and Prussia did not iinnfur «t thoh.y^* l.n» t\ r» Min isters of llussia, Sweden, Bremen and Nicaragua were present, unil the Russiau Minister was especially cordial iti his coir .versation with the President.

John Pierpont, who happily referred to the design of the course, alluding to the lecturer as a man who investigated all tides of the suhjict and refused lo submit himself to the drill of tiinid lyeetun managers before mount ing the lecture-stand. The lecture will be gives ill fall in a future issue, hence our readout must be content with the briefest possible synopsis. The hall, large as it is, was filled to reple tion, galleries and all, with men and wo men of evory shade of opinion. His subject was "The National Crisis." He believed this to bt! a nation, because it is so recognized by foreign nations, has existed, as such, for nearly a century, has a national flag and motto, has exercised the functions of a nation, and discharged the nation's obligations and not that it was a confederated league to be dissolved at will, as was held by those who had ap pealed from the last reason—from the ar gument of ballots to the argument of bul lets. lie wished to know whether this was the Capital of the nation or the Capita) of the District of Columbia? whether he was here at home, on native soil, speaking to his countrymen While he believed ours to be one peo ple, one race, with one tongue and a com mon destiny, he also believed that States have rights which the Federal Government uever gave and Canuot take away as have individuals anterior to the obligations to civil society but because individuals have such rights, does not follow that there is no such a thing as civil society. Yet he would say, so long as he did not abuse his liberty or rights, "this is mine touch it not at your peril." He believed in State pride there was no spot so dear to him as the State in which he*as born. All that is local should be administered by the State government all that is gen eral by the National Government, which is the supreme Government. Union is one of many uuhits there is unity there is no union—only juxtaposition. We still have a Union that shall subsist when you audJ. are no more. Be It a compact—it was a contract in solid", one that could not be broken without* the consent of others, without a breach of faith, tfhich is rebel lion, a crime. "He here alluded to the faith-breakers of our nation, who had sought not only to set up an establishment for themselves but also attempted to drive old folks from the homestead. He wo ild have averted the war, but now it was upon us. There were worse things than war. Slavery in the South had sought to rule. Young America in the North had become reckless in following the lead of Fernando WoocT and the TScw York Herald—the nation was becoming effemi nate. Our position was more auspicious tbau four years ago. War would purify our political atmosphere, and give us a n&iion of herqes. The highest on the list of humanity were ever the martyrs in re ligion next ranged the soldiers dying in defence of a noble cause.

He wanted no war carried on upon peace principles. Either give up the war, and call ourselves poltroons and cow ards, or work in earnest, and ——"La on, Macduff, And damned be he who tint crie» hold, enough!" Let us show that we can preserve a na tion, and beautify and adorn it. This war was brought on by slavery.— Which shall wc sacrifice, the nation or slavery? The war should not be prose cuted for the destruction of slavery, but if it stood in the way, let slavery perish, but the Cnion must be preserved. lie would light for his liberty, and what he wished for himself he would give to others, be he white, black, led, yellow, or ooppcr-eolor ed. But let this question be settled for ever, and so settled that the eternal nigger should be heard no more. When the rebels were whipped, or come back, he would in si.-t. on their full rights, with no nigger thrown into the scale. As far as our forces advance, we should advance to govern and protect both black and white within our lines. He would then have, not a despotic Government, hut a strong Government, which should yet become in a fuller sense than ever before, the pride aud glory of the whole world. X3^*Th« people clamor so loudly for the adoption ot a manly policy that no man in Congress can he ignorant of their wishes. They bear all the burthens of the war patriotically, and without a mur mur. Yet there is no corresponding spirit manifested by the Representatives. We talk of revenue and we are pointed to a loan. Wc nsk for provision lor the fu ture and we are pointed to more loans.— We speak of the magnitude of the con test and the immense sums necessary to defray the cost, and we ere pointed to loans, loans, loafi.t, We loss battle upon battle, and we faucy that extravagance of outlay restores our reputation. We waste long and weary months in prepara tions which seem to have no purpose, and when we ask what is to be the result, we are only answered by pointing to the facility with which we are raising loans.

Atltmpi to Ret-over a Contraband, Several days ago, a negro boy beloniring to Dr. E. B. Smith, yho resides on Fifth street li' ir Chestnut, ran away from his master und subsequently it was ascer tained that he had taken up his quarters at Benton Barracks. Dr. Smith acquaint ed Chief of Police Cousins with the facts and the latter on Wednesday detailed two ofiieers to arrest the negro, he having full power to do so under the law passed by the last Legislature establishing the Met ropolitan Police. The two officers pro ceeded to the barracks and found the ne gro acting as cook in the 1st l«wa cavalry regiment, Col. 1 iiz Henry Warren. The police officers endeavored to find the regi mental officers, but failing in so doing, m: de known their errand to two or three company officers, all of whom treated them courteously, with the exception ot' one lieutenant, who blustered considera bly', and in a bullying manner declared he would have nothing to do with the mat ter. The facts were also laid before Gen. Strong, and he and his Adjutant (MeKenny vere disposed to afiord every facility to the police officers, although ren. Strong had some doubt how to act in the premises, inasmuch as the negro had re ported that his master was a secessionist, and he Strong i was acting as asubordi nate uuder Gen. Curtis. The police officers assured Gen. Strong that Dr. Smith, to whom the negro be longed, wus a loyal citizen, und upon this representation permission was given to the officers to take the negro, with the un derstanding that he would be brought to town for safe keeping, and that in the meantime the facts would be laid before Geu'l Curtis. The policemen then arrested the negro Before they had fairly left the barrauks, the lieutenant aforesaid, at the head of about 00 men, came suddenly ujton them, surrounded them and attempted to rescue the negro. The ofti ers held on to him stoutly, however, acu streuuously resisted Strong by the police officers. Aid was quickly granted, and the soldiers who bad attempted to rtiicue the negro were com pelled to disperse. The negro was then brousrht into town and Adjutant MeKen ny was also sent forward to lay the facte before Gen. Curtis This latter was no sooner done than the officers were ordered to take the negro back to the Rarracka. the efforts of the soldiers. Meantime an remain for a long time. A gentlemanoe apjieal for aid had been made to General ™l»)'*«te the officers _prc_et-eded to the Barracks.
