Extract from a Specch of Hon. Horatio our, delivered f at Sprloahell, Mass., July 4th, 1856." In antagonism to the Democratic creed of lodifferent 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 denunciary to-day, as when it sought to uphold national banks and high tariffs. It now claims the exclusive champienship of morals, religion and liberty, as it once did the guardianship of the finances and industry of the country. We deny that the meddling system of politics 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 fires of bigotry, the iron rule of despots, the leaden weight of ignorance and degradation, came from pragmatical doctrines. Political meddling has done nothing for religion 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 j our land—it has caused bitter sectional hate. . It has done no good. We need not go back into the past to show this—it is proved by the questions of the day. We have political meddling with morals in coercive temperance laws; political meddling with religion in Know Nothingism and divided churches; political meddling with rights of local legislation by the Republican party. They sprung from a common sentiment. he 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 attempt to disfranchise the emigrant to the west, will find that he is laboring to take away the right of citizenship from ee 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 flames. It is remarkable that the doctrine of local self-government is most bitterly assailed in some of the 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 federal system, for it has not only the law making power in common with the House of Representafives, but also the power to confirm treaties, (which are superior to law,) and to restrain the Executive by rejecting oflicial appointments. The Senate holds in check every other department of government. If New England was asked to give up its disproportionate power in the Senate, it 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 amended to do away with this inequality, the answer would be 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, But the power was given only for defensive, not for aggressive purposes. The disproportion 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 excced that amount. Ina 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 position, touching the rest of the Union only on the borders of New York, will lessen your influence. The principle of interference may be brought home to you, and in defence you will be compelled to urge the principles of local Jay L. Adams & Co,“ ba Lard; Flour. GROCERIES.

United States are “at peace.with all the world self-government and 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 annual inerease in the population of the United States. Fourrn or Juty at Me .Bourne.—The Melbourne Argus says the anniversary of Independence was celebrated by our American townsmen 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 celebration by American citizens of the birthday of their nation without emotions of sympathy, or reflect on their wonderful national history without admiration, and sanguine anticipations. No one who knows the American residents in Melbourne, and has observed their energy and enterprise, is disposed to be critical in listening to or reading their speeches. He is inclined to admit that, for that day at least, that it is a peculiar excellence of America that its plains are broad; that its mountains pierce the sky; that itd 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 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 Locator eS Me mera oa Pale and Brown Sherry, in wood and Glass, Old Madeira, in wood and Glass, Old Port, in wood and Glass, States and England gave especial interest to Friday’s celebration, and elicited more than attention of the citizens of Nevada and the surrounding country. We are now prepared to exhibit the best selected Stock of Clothing to be found, and at lower prices than ever before offered-—-FOR CASH. Our mode of doing business will be the same as heretofore One Price, and no Deviation, thereby saving of time to both purchaser and seller—in all cases the lowest price will be named at once.

WALL & BROTHER, Broad Street. September 16, 1856—tf. REVOLUTION IN Sonor s.—-We have private ad. vices from Sonora, Mexico, says ihe San Fran. cisco Globe of the 7th, to tlie «(fect that a battle was fought about the 6th of September, at the town of Ures, between Pesyneiro, 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 about eight hun. dred leagues northwest from Hermosillo. Mounr Suasta AscenpepD By Labigs.—On Tuesday, September 16th, says the Yreka Union, the famous mountain, Shasta Butte, was ascended by ladies, where they celebrated the the admission of California into 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 Sacramento River. They have accomplished that which, it was thought, up to 1854, from the representations of Fremont, to be an impossibility. In company with Capt. Pierce, Messrs. White, Stephens, Sperslin, Gage, Gordon and two others, they left the highest point of timber on the mountain at 6 o’clock in the morning, and arrived on 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 highest pinnacle, commenced the descent, and arrived at the starting point at 10 o'clock at night. EnG@uanp AnD Mexico.—The Tait d’ Union, of Mexico, of the 4th of September, states that diplomatic relations between Mexico and Engthe Barron affair in Sonora. It will be recollected that Barron and Forbes, one of whom was the English Consul at Hermosillo, were arrested and expelled by the Mexican government, for interfering in the politics of the country. 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. ViciaNnce ComMITTEE IN MobiLe.—-Two booksellers in Mobile, Alabama, Messrs, Strickland & Upson, have been compelled to Teave that State by a body of citizens organized into a vigilance committee. The offense with which tion books. As no law could reach them, the people “in their primary capacity,” for the time 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 Califorvia think of vigilanceism as administered in Mobile? Tvotumne Co.
