The New York Tribune gives the following pic

ly sways the Empire city :
The simple truth is and the sooner we look it
in the face the better that there is not in the
whole world a beastlier animal than the New York
"rowdy." There is the fact not a pleasant one cer
tainly but there is the fact. Compared with a thorough-paced
New York "rowdy," the Digger Indian
rises, into celestial altitudes of refinement, courtesy
and humanity. It is all very well to talk of reform
ing such fellows as Patrick Gunning or Archibald
Brown, but where will you begin to reform ? When
a man breaks his head you can trepan it when he
fractures his bones, -ou can set them when he is
sick you can give him medicine. Hut when a hu
man being is resolutely and completely rotten, there
is an end of him, and the sooner he is shuttled un
derground the better.
Blindfold Chess. This term is applied conven
tionally to chess played without the use of a board,
so far at least, as one of the parties is concerned.
So much has been said about it within the last
twelve months, that we suppose it is now generallv
understood no hoodwinking is used. Messrs. Mor
phy and Paulsen it is said once played two simulta
neous games of chess without board or pieces while
riding in a coach. Indeed amateurs will find this
kind of exercise amusing, at least, and probably im
proving. A friend informed us recently that on one
occasion he and a brother member of the Mobile
Chess Club, while waking home together, played
about twenty moves in this manner, when reaching
their destination, they resorted to the board, rapidly
placing the pieces in their proper position, and fin
ishing the game. Mobile Mercury.

THE ADMINISTRATION AND DOICI.AS.
Mr. Turner offered the following preamble and
resolution :
u Whekeas, The executive branch of the federal
government, by reason of the increased and increas
ing patronage of the same, has grown greatly beyond
the expectation of the wise and patriotic framers of
the federal constitution ; and, whereas, the said exe
cutive patronage may be used to intimidate the weak
and corrupt the venal, therefore,
' HexorctJ, by the Senate and House of Commons
of the State of North-Carolina in general assembly
convened, that the unjust and unwarrantable inter
ference on the part of the present executive, in the
late election in the State of Illinois, to defeat the
Hon. Stephen A. Douglas, was a violation of the
spirit of the constitution, subversive of State rights,
and in gross derogation of executive dignityand
duty. '
.Mr. Turner said that in introducing this resolu
tion he hail not consulted his party friends, for the
reason that he intended to act independently of them
if their feelings did not square with his on this ques
tion. He therefore did not know what they would
think of his resolution, nor did he know what would
be the opinion of his democratic friends on the mat
ter. Iiut he knew there mym a time when no man
would have dared to stand up in North Carolina and
oppose that resolution. Its object was to coAdemn
federal executive interference in State politics. He
knew full well that a resolution condemning the
alien and sedition law had been voted down in this
State, and that this resolution, now before the Sen
ate, might share the same fate. But the people took
hold of the alien and sedition law, and it went down.
And, he asked, how will this Legislature stand in
the estimation of the people of the Stite, if it fail to
pass this resolution ? This federal interference had
gone too far the cause of Illinois was the cause of
Pennsylvania and New York, and may become the
cause of North Carolina to-morrow. "The glorious
example of Illinois should iicver be forgotten it was
a noble effort in the assertion of State rights and
State sovereignty. Mr. T. would call uponthe Sen
ator who now occupied the tcat once adorned by
llartlett Yancey, one of the first to raise his voice in
defense of StUes rights and State independence, he
would call upon that patriot's successor on this floor
to raise his voice against this federal aggression.
The Speaker intimated that this dav (Saturday)
was the day set apart for private bills, &c.
Mr. lirown moved a suspension of the rules to
enable the Senate to settle the question raised by
the resolution of Mr. Turner. Concurred in.
Mr. Brown, in rising to respond to the call so di
rectly made on him by the Senator jrom Orange,
(Mr. Turner,) said that he must be excused for de
clining the invitation to unite with him in the con
demnatory resolutions which had just been submit
ted in reference to the course which the President
of the United States had considered it his duty to
pursue in making certain removals from office in the
State of Illinois. Before proceeding to remark on
the allegations which had been made against Presi
dent Buchanan, he would respectfully inquire of the
Senator who had volunteered to defend the State of
Illinois against the alleged assaults on her right,
whether he was not departing from the principles
and doctrines which he himself professed to incul
cate? He would respectfully inquire if the lecture
they had heard, and the action which the Senate
had been called on to take, with respect to the al
leged ruthless invasion of the rights of the State of
Illinois, was entirely compatible with the respect
due to a sister confederate State? He would ash
whether this attempt to enlighten that State as to
the alleged infringement of her rights, might not be
interpreted to imply that either she . herself did. not
understand them, or, if understanding them, was
not incompetent to their defence ? He, (Mr. B.,) en
tertained too much respect for that great common
wealth, to Wlicve for a moment that she was defi
cient in either one or the other on the contrary
she had the intelligence to perceive, and the firm
ness to defend her rights as a State, against assaults
whenever committed, without either instruction or
prompting from this or any other quarter. The
conclusion which, therefore, seemed to him, follow
ed is, that those who propose interference as to
questions pertaining to the local affairs of other
States, step beyond the State right doctrines, while
those who decline to follow stand upon the ground
of the reserved rights of the States.
This much Mr. B. said he had deemed it his duty
to say, as to the propriety of the Legislature of
North-Carolina acting on the resolutions submitted
by the Senator he would next venture a few words
in justification and defence of Mr. Buchanan, and he
would here take occasion to remark, that while he
believed it entirely proper that every administration
should fill the important political stations under it
from among those who were its friends, he.diljnot
concur in the doctrine of indiscriminate removal
simply on political grounds, in all the subordinate
grades of office. Removals from office for cause,
however, stood on very different groundsind had
very 'properly been practiced undecAverw and all
administrations. . VsifjSV
He (Mr. B.) believed, from the best inmrmation
which he was possessed of, that the rah'ovals from
office in Illinois by the present administration, were1
predicated on the grounds just alluded to by him-
that they were removals made for cause and he
would add, sufficient cause ; and that the President
stood triumphantly vindicated by the example of '
some of his most eminent predecessors. "Vithout
claiming to possess authentic information as to the
reasons that influenced the administration in mak
ing these removals, yet he believed it was well un
derstood throughout the country and, so far as he
knew, uncontradicted that the individuals removed
from office were active and clamorous political parti
zans especially violent in theirdenunciations against
the President and his polky, and against the admin
istration ticket then in the field in Illinois. In thus
acting, these individuals subjected themselves, and
most deservedly, to the application of that rule
adopted by one of our early Presidents, and declared
in a circular addressed to those holding office under
htm that whilo they should be left to the entire
freedom of opinion, and exercise of the privilege of
4 voting, that active interference in elections should
be cause of removal. This rule was adopted by a
President whose administration it is now generally
conceded has no equal for its broad advocacy of the
reserved rights of the States, and the equal rights
of the masses of the people of the States.
Brought to the test of this rule, how stands the
1 "office holders the political friends of Senator
Douglas removed from office in Illinois, and for
whom so much sympathy has been invoked ? It
will be recollected, said Mr. TV that thn miitimi
issue between the President and Senator Douglas
had sprung out of the submission to Congress by
the President of the Lecomntnn Cnnsri tntinn few tn
admission of the Territory of Kansas as a State of

western States, saw in its adoption, afid the conse-
(jucui peace ana narmony ot the country, the end
of their occupation. The standard of violent oppo
sition, as if by general preconcert, was raised in
Congress and throughout the States alluded to,
against the President and his policy; inflammatory
appeals were made to the people of Kansas, and
that eminent statesman charged with countenancing
fraud and tyranny How fraud and tyranny, he
M ould ask ? By recommending the unheard of out
rage that a territory with a Bmall population should
be raised from the condition of territorial depen
dency od made a sovereign State, equal with tly;
greatest of the confederacy, and the consequent
power to change her constitution at her own pleas
ure! Indeed, this is a new discovery in the com
mission of fraud and tyrrannv. In the language of
a celebrated patriot of antiquitr, in an angry dia
logue between himself and friend, he would say,
"a friendly eve sees not such faults."
He (Mr. B.) dissented widely from ihe views of
V. i c r . . . ... . .
inc ov-uiiiur irom urange, as to tnc relative position,
in respect to State rights occupied by the party he
proposes to sustain and the partv he proposes to
implicate by his resolution. The Ire,sidcnt had
endeavored to carry out the views before entertained
by him, and which were subsequently fully coinci
ded in by the decision of the Supreme Court in rela
tion to the institution of slavery in the Territories,
and which principles recognise, in the broadest
sense, tnc equality or the States. The views of the
Senator from Illinois had, if his speeches reported
in
the newspapers are to be credited, conflicted to
some extent with those opinions. He desired not
to take from the Senator from Illinois the credit
which he had justly earned before this difference
originated. AVhat the friends of the administration,
and he would further say, and those entertaining
national sentiments of all parties, had a right to
complain of, was the violent efforts that had been
made to break down and disorganize the administra
tion party in the North and AVcst, when the great
aim and end of the President, all right minded men
must concede, was to restore peace and harmony to
the country and equality to the States by the mea
sure which he had proposed. He, therefore, would
not consent to unite with those who were disposed
to censure the President for the firm and .manly
stmd he had taken, in endeavoring to protect the
reserved rights of the States, much less could he
consent to applaud those who sought to paralyze
his exertions when he was engaged in such a patri
otic purpose. President Buchanan had stood bv the
constitution and the rights of the South he would
say, the equal rights of every State of the Union
and it would be unworthy of the great national dem
ocratic party to abandon him when so manfully and
honorably contending in a cause which was emphat
ically the cause of the whole country.

made upon him to respond to the resolution. As
lur lumssn, ne assureu tnc Senate that he did not
presume to lecture Illinois. He gloried in her cour
age. Lut the Senator wanted proof of the removals
he had alluded to. If the Senator had kept up with
the news of the day he would liave received abund
ance of proot Douglas had stated the fact ; and he
had also stated that no act of intcrfornnr. h-l

they were ejected from office on account of th. in
terfering in the election. And what was the charac
ter of those put in Did they not subscribe sums
of money to carry out the contest in the election ?
Mr. Brown rejoined and said, as respected the al
legations that the office holders in some of the States
had taken an active nart in the election ;n Cavtwf
the administration, they ,were unsustained by any
proofs so far as he knew, except newspaper publi
