Thf Meddling Tlieory of Government.
Extract from a Starch of Him. Horatio Seymour, delivered
at SptihffM, Mass., July 4th, 1886.
Ia antagonism to tlie Democratic creed of lo
cal and individual freedom, there has always
existed a pragmatic organization, which under
different names has sought to build up a system
of political meddling. Its purposes may have
been good; its claims have been high-toned and
exacting. Constantly defeated by the results
of its erroneous principles, its instincts lead it
to renew its attempts at power by new projects.
It is as confident and as deuuuciavy to-day,
as when it sought to uphold national banks and
high tariffs. It now claims the exclusive cham
pionship of morals, religion and lilierty, as it
once did the guardianship of the finauces and
industry of the country. We deny that the
meddling system of polities is favorable to
morals, religion or liberty. History proves the
contrary. It has ever been the bane of each. It has
always furnished the pretexts of tyrants. The
tires of bigotry, the iron rule of despots, the
leaden weight of ignorance and degradation,
came from pragmatical doctrines.
Political meddling has done nothing for reli
gion here. It has hung Quakers —it persecuted
Roger Williams—it has driven pious women
into exile—it has tried to uphold a theocracy
in New England—it has divided the church of
our land—it has caused bitter sectional hale.
It has done no good. We need not go back into
the past to show this—it is proved by the ques
tions of the day. We have political meddling
with morals in coercive temperance laws; poli
tical meddling with religion in Know Nothing
ism and divided churches; political meddling
with rights ot' local legislation by the Republi
can party. They sprung from a common senti
ment. The man of the South who supports
Know Nothingism. upholds the spirit of bigotry
which calls Republicanism into existence.—
The man of foreign birth who aids in the at
tempt to disfranchise the emigrant to the west,
will find that he is laboring to take away the
right of citizenship from the emigrant from the
eastern world. He who interferes with those a
thousand miles away, must not object to the
intermeddling of his neighbors with his domestic
or personal affairs. Those who fan the fires of
fanaticism in any of its forms, will find their
homes invaded by its tiames.
It is remarkable that the doctrine of local
self-government is most bitterly assailed in
some of tiie New England States, which owe
their political power to this principle. Equal
representation is given to each State in the
Senate, the most important branch of the fede
ral system, for it has not only the law making
power in common with the House of Represen
tatives, but also the power to confirm treaties,
(which are superior to law,) and to restrain the
Executive by rejecting official appointments.
The Senate holds in check every other depart
ment of government.
If New England was asked to give up its dis
proportionate power in the Senate, if would
point to the constitutional compact. Then let
New England see that the compact is respected
where it gives as well as where it takes. If it
was urged that, with a population less than that
of New York, New England has ten Senators
and ten electoral votes beyond its proportionate
share, and that the constitution should be amen
ded to do away with this inequality, the answer
would tie be, that it was the wise policy of our
constitution to uphold State sovereignties; that
the organization of the Senate was designed to
prevent interference with local affairs by the
general government ; that representation by
States was intended to keep alive the principles
of local self-government. For these reasons
the small States are allowed a disproportionate
share of power in the Senate. Without these
reasons, the disparity would be intolerable.
Rut the power was given only for defensive,
not for aggressive purposes. The dispropor
tion of power becomes greater each year. .Most
of the new States have each of them land fit for
cultivation equal to the aggregate of the six
New England States. Many of them far exceed
that amount. In a few years they will fill up
with population, while your numbers will not
increase. If a meddling policy is to prevail in
our country, an undue share of power will not
be allowed’ Your remote and sequestered po
sition, touching the rest of the Union only on
the borders of New York, will lessen your in
fluence. The principle of interference may be
brought home to you, and in defence you will
be compelled to urge the principles of local
self-government ami State rights, which has
ever been the creed of the Democratic party.
Yet, blind to these considerations the legislators
of this State have been violent in their action
against the principle of local sovereignty, which
alone give it power, and most declamatory
against the compromise of the constitution,
which alone give it influence, for the whole
number of the citizens is only equal to the an
nual increase in the population of the United
States.
Focrth os July at Mei-bocbne. —The Mel
bourne Argus says the anniversary of Indepen
dence was celebrated by our American towns
men with even more than the accustomed eclat.
About one hundred and twenty gentlemen sat
down to a really sumptuous entertainment—
every thing went off well, and the patriotism of
the party overflowed in speeches as long and
enthusiastic, and not more bombastic than
usual. No freeman can contemplate the cele
bration by American citizens of the birthday of
their nation without emotions of sympathy, or
reflect on their wonderful national history with
out admiration, and sanguine anticipations.
No one who knows fhe American residents in
Melbourne, and has observed their energy and
enterprise, is disposed to be critical in listening
to or reading their speeches. lie is inclined to
admit that, for that day at least, that it is a pe
culiar excellence of America that its plains are
broad; that its mountains pierce the sky; that
its rivers roll towards the sea, and that its
shores are bounded by oceans; but when the
President feels it his duty to announce that the
United States are “at peace.with all the world
and the rest of mankind,” it may be suspected
that the reporters or the printers have been
blundering. The apprehended interruption of
the good understanding between the United
States and England guve especial interest to
Friday’s celebration, and elicited more than
usually hearty testimonies of mutual good will.
Tiie Pacific Raikioad and the Suez Canal.
—A correspondent, writing from Washington
to the Baltimore Sun, Bays: “The Pacific Rail
road scheme is not yet dead. Geographical
jealousies have contributed so far to delay the
passage of the bill. A railroad to the Pacific
and a canal across the Isthmus of Suez are the
two great enterprises now before the world,
and when completed, will do more for the civi
lization and happiness of men than all Chartism,
Red Republicanism, and negro philanthrophy
here and elsewhere. If the Isthmus of Suez iH
pierced before the railroad to the Pacific, the
United States will be commercially distanced.
Revolution inEonop —We have private ad
vices from Sonora, Mexico, says the San Fran
cisco Globe of the 7lb, to the effect that a battle
was fought about the Gtb of September, at the
town of Urcs, between l’esyneiro, at the head of
two thousand men, and Gandara, with a force
of fifteen hundred. The latter was defeated
with great loss. The western portion of the
town was destroyed, Gandara retreated north.
The town of Ures is situated al>out eight hun
dred leagues northwest from Hcrmosillo.
Mount Shasta Ascknded bv Ladies. —On
Tuesday, September 16th, says the Yreka Union,
the famous mountain, Shasta Butte, was ascend
ed by ladies, where they celebrated the the ad
mission of California iuto the Union. The ladies
who performed this feat are Mrs. D. A. Lowry,
of Scoot’s Valley, Mrs. Eddy, Mrs. Gage, Mrs.
J. White, of Yreka, and Mrs. McLeod, of Sacra
mento River. They have accomplished that
which, it was thought, up to 1854, from the rep
resentations of Fremont, to be an impossibility.
In company with Capt. Pierce, Messrs. White,
Stephens, Sperslin, Gage, Gordon and two oth
ers, they left the highest point of timber on the
mountain at 6 o'clock in the morning, and ar
rived ou the summit at 4 o’clock p. m. There
they remained half an hour or more, and after
planting the star spangled banner upon the high
est pinnacle, commenced the descent, aud arriv
ed at the starting point at 10 o'clock at night.
England and Mexico. —The Trail d'Union, of
Mexico, of the 4th of September, states that
diplomatic relations between Mexico and Eng
land have been suspended, in consequence of
the Barron affair in Sonora. It will be recol
lected that Barron and Forbes, one of whom
was the English Consul nt Hermosillo, were
arrested and expelled by the Mexican govern
ment, for interfering in the politics of the coun
try. A minister plenipotentiary, it is said, will
be sent to England, with all the documents and
full power to arrange the matters in dispute.
Meantime, the English subjects in Mexico are
under the protection of the French Legation
there.
V ig i lance Committee in Mobile. —Two book
sellers in Mobile, Alabama, Messrs. Strickland
<fc Upson, have been compelled to leave that
State by a body of citizens organized into a
vigilance committee. The offense with which
they were charged was the circulating of aboli
tion hooka As no law could reach them, the
people “in their primary capacity,” for the time
being set aside the “forms of law” and adminis
tered what they conceived to be “justice.” The
principle which actuated the citizens of Mobile
appears to be the same as that which governed
the vigilance committee of San Francisco, and
admits of the same defense. Wonder what the
Republican-Vigilance organs of California think
of vigilanceism as administered in Mobile?

A New’ El Dorado.— A correspondent of the
New Orleans True Delia, writing from Santa Fe,
New Mexico, August 1st. says :
A captive woman some time ago was brought
in from the Indian country, who stated that
gold in large quantities was found in the coun
try in which she was a captive for many years.
A small party, numbering 28 persons, started
for the land of gold, but the Indians met them
and prevented them from going into their coun
try. Since then another captive (a man) Teas
returned, wiio corroborates the report, and says
that gold can be picked up in large quantities
upon the surface of the earth. A party has
been made up, of sixty men, who start immedi
ately for this El Dorado, and take with them the
late captive, wjio assures them that the gold is
plenty and found as reported.
This Mexican has been captive fourteen years.
The gold is found in a country about four hun
dred and fitty miles from Santa Fe. It is occu
pied by a tribe of Indians called l’inolinos, and
Carisalinae, a portion of the numerous tribes of
Apaches.
I have no doubt of this rumor, as it comes di
rect to me. Should it turn out correct, you
shall be informed of the matter authentically.
Calcutta Trade.— Boston is the seat of the
Calcutta trade, the chief importations from
which have been linseed, saltpetre, hides, gun
ny bags, cloth, indigo and goat skins. The val
ue of the importations for 1854 was.$7,810,C74,
and that of 1855 about the same. Calcutta fur
nishes this entire couutry with saltpetre, as it
can be imported cheaper than it can lie made
here. When it is worth from fifteen to twenty
cents a pound, the manufacturer can produce
it in this country principally from nitrous cav
erns. The Dupont Company, Delcware, in their
manufacture of powder, use about 100 tons, or
1200 bags, of saltpetre a month. Calcutta has
population of 418,000, and the exports from that
city amount to $60,000,000. In the year 1851
and '52, ships entered the port of Calcutta with
an aggregaie burden of 325,553 tons.
Webster’s Letters.— It is announced on good
authority, that the correspondence of Daniel
Webster, edited by his son, Fletcher Webster,
will be issued in October, in two volumes, by
Messrs. Little & Brown, and to correspond with
the rest of his works already published by the
same house. The editor has had the advantage
of the quiet mansion at Marshfield, of IiIh fa
ther’s well chosen library, and of all necessary
assistance in preparing these volumes, and they
are looked for with much interest. But com
paratively few of Mr. Webster's letters were
ever published; and the few familiar letters al
ready given to the public, such as those to his
farmer of Franklin, John Taylor, and that com
posed at Richmond, Virginia, on the morning,
give striking evidence that he was not only
great iu the Senate and in Court, but as a letter
writer.
Death of an Indian Chief. —The body of
“William John,” second chief of the Six Nations
was found iu the Welland Canal, near the Mo
hawk village, on Sunday morning, Aug. 17th.
The deceased had probably attempted to cross
a wire bridge, during the night, and been pre
cipitated into the water. The fact which makes
this incident noticeable is, that “William John”
was a grandson of the noted Captain Brant, aud
one of the last, if not the last, member of that
remarkable family.
Returning.— From a private letter to a gen
tleman in this city, we learn that Mrs. Sinclair
and M’lle. Duret were on their way back from
Australia to this place. Theatricals and amuse
ments of every nature were reported to l»e very
dull there. Mrs, Sinclair had played a short en
gagement in Sydney, whore she produced the
•Marble Heart” with tolerable success. M'lle.
Duret was unable to effect au engagement at
anything like reasonable terms*-- S. F. Herald.

VARIETIES*
Tkace Sentiments in England. —A very in
teresting correspondence Las passed, so it is
said, between several members of the British
Parliament and Mr. Dallas. A letter of con
gratulation, bearing the signatures of some fifty
or more members of Parliament, on the satisfac
tory settlement of the enlistment difficulties be
tween England and the United States, was most
unexpectedly received by Mr. Dallas, some short
time before the sailiug of the Baltic. He, how
ever, mentions the circumstance in a postscript
to a private letter, and rejoices at the probable
immediate settlement of all misunderstandings
between the two countries.
Drouth in Kentucky. —The drouth has fallen
with great severity in Kentucky, but in the
southern portion of the State its effects are ter
rible. The Hopkinsville Patriot of late date
says:
The drouth is doing a fatal work in this sec
tion of the State, and farmers begin to fear a
recurrence of the season of 1854. Late corn is
worth nothing at all, tobacco is little better, and
everything like pasturage is literally burning
up. Corn is now selling at $1 50 per barrel in
Logan, and will lie much higher still.
Cotton in San Joaquin County.— The capaci
ty of the soil of San Joaquin county for the cul
tivation of cotton, has been successfully tested
at Two Mile Bar, on the Stanislaus river. Dr.
Robinson, during the past season, has planted
and cultivated a few stalks of cotton in his gar
den, simply as a test; the result, was all that he
could desire, clearly showing that the Stauislaus
river valley is well ndapted to the successful
cultivation of this eminently staple article of
Southern Atlantic commerce.— Argun.
Tuk League of Tyrants. —There is a rumor
that the despotic Governments of Italy are fra
ternizing, under the support of Austria, for mu
tual protection against the interference of the
West. “It requires no effort of imagination,”
says the London Morniug Star, “to believe such
a combination possible, after so many threats
from France and England. Florence, Naples,
Rome and Modona are the Governments sup
posed to be confederating.”
Mr. Denver. —The Washington Star says:—
‘We understand that Mr. Denver, the efficient
and popular representative in Congress from
California, remains in this city during the recess
to expedite the closing up the California war
bonds business with the government. As thou
sands in and out of his State are interested in
the speedy settlement of this vexatious businoss,
this will be good news for them. .
Fight with Pirates. —A desperate engage
ment has occurred between the crew of a Prus
sian ship of war and the Algerine pirates, on
the coast of Morocco. Eight of the former
were killed and twenty wounded. Prince Adel
bert, was also wounded. The incident has re
vived the talk of a European expedition against
the pirates on that coast.
Material Progress of Texas. —Of all the
slave States in the Union, Texas appears to lie
the most rapidly progressing. The average
value of assessed land is now 81.28: in 1852, it
was 87c. The total value of land assessed in
1852 was $3:1,000,000; now, it is $58,000,000.
Of negroes. $28,000,000; now, 53,000,000. Of
horses and cattle, $8,000,000; now, $17,000,000.

have but two remedies left me—either to go to
California or else get into Congress.”
Political Change. —It is announced in the
Bay papers that Judge Shattuck, of the Superi
