He astonished the assemblage by declarx lug that "there never was any real This is certainly something new under the sun. It would' have been new to Washington, Madison, Franklin, Jefferson, Hamilton, Webster, Clay and Jackson. There can hardly bo a question that they, thought there "was a real Union." Surely their acts proved it, and acta are usually deemed pretty fair tests of opinions. But we have new lights in the present day, lights which, when extinguished, will no doubt leave the world in Cimmerian darkness. Mr.

C. M. Clay did not stop after enlightening the multitude as to what had been. He went on to declare that he did 'not want "the Union as it was." He scouted any such idea. Lest we should be suspected of misrepresenting him, we will give his exact words as published in the New, York papers.

He said: cant phrase now was to restore the Union as it was. Why, he would astonish them mucl by declaring that there never was any real Union. There was always what Mr. Seward called an irrepressible con. flicL" "Butletusnothave.Ipray you, the Union as it was.

What was it to me The Union as it was What did it bring, notwithstanding all your forbearance, but rebellion and bloodshed, war and desolation And will not the same tree produce the same fruit The "irrepressible conflict" was of course about slavery; bnt how could there have been any such conflict about it in the days of the Revolution when every one of the Colonics held slaves Mr. Clay manifestly forgot that. There certainly was a conflict, but it was with Great Britain and was in due time represse-i, and therefore not "irrepressible." There could not have been any such struggle when the constitution was adopted, because all the States were in the same category in respect to slavery, except that those States whose citizens owned many ships were more interested in it than other States, and it is a well known historical fact that the clause in the conttitution prohibiting any interdiction of the slave trade brior to tho year 18C8, was inserted in the interests of the wealthy ship owners of Rhode Island, New York, Massachusetts, Facts are stubborn things, and no emoout or degree of vehement vituperation change them. Those shipowners hed large sums invested in the trade, end have shut down fipon them at once would have caused them heavy Hence, time was granted them to clcre up their business and get rich from the profits of commerce in African goods The truth is, all p-nici were, ajt the f'me of the adoption the constitution, opposed to slavery the abstract, but they found it exVng, they re ogrired it in though not in name, in the great chaner, and protected it. Subsequently, the Northern States found it unprofitable, abolished it, and became anti-slavery; the Southern, found it profitable, retained it, and became pro-slavery.

This is a plain and simple statement of the facts as they existed, and do now exist, and all the ranting from this time till doomsday cannot alter it Mr. Clay himself admits that the constitution recognizes and protects the institution. He says Still there ia some responsibility in the constitution for the existence of slavery in the South. There is the clause for returning fugitives, and the clause pledging the Government to put don insurrection in the South. And see the result." Inasmuch as the is the Union, and inasmuch as he will not have the Union as it was," he wishes to overthrow the constitution, or so change it as radically to destroy slavery, and he bursts out in such passionate exclamations as these It was a delusion to suppose that liberty could be established on this continent when the President of the United States and the people of the United States had not the courage to do what was tight.

Therefore," said he, not Gen. Boyle; spot the President, of the United States, spot the heads ofdep-u-ments, spot the military chieftains, $pot thoie trio would have the Union as it Here is another passage worthy of reproduction: So far from finding fault with Abraham Lincoln, be rather found fault with him that he had not suspended the habeas corpus, not by a dash of the pen, but by the rope round the necks of these traitors. A Voice We'll bang them yet. i Mr. Clay Yea, sir, the hanging of such men as Seymour and Wood would have saved thousands of honest lives.

A Voice Thtt is so. Mr. Clay That is true philanthropy. Applause and laughter. Those who would have the Union as it was are to be spotted." We thought it was the d'sunionists only that were to be spotted, but Mr.

Clay puts the boot on the other leg. Is this the reason that he would have such men as Seymour and Wood hanged Perhaps, his true philanthropy will remind the reader of the1 true philanthropy that reigned on a certain occasion in France. Liberty exclaimed M'me Roland, how many crimes have been committed in thy name!" One cannot read the utterances of the radical Abolitionists without being reminded, at every step, of the sentiments 'and spirit of the leaders of the French Eevolntion, 1789. We cannot believe that suck men are commissioned by. Heaven to bring about the millennium, as they would have us think.

They appear to us to draw their inspiration from another source. Twelve laden with cotton, from India, reached Liverpool during one day, Their aggregate cargoes amounted to 54,657 bales.

U.S. Navy. The frigate San tee, which has been fitted up as a school ship, sailed from Boston on the 5th inst, for Newport, (E. where she is to be stationed.

-i The Montauk, the fourth of the new Monitor fleet, was launched at Greenpoint, Long Island, on the 9th. inst The four Monitors of the new fleet now afloat are -the Passaic, Patapsco, Nahant and Montauk. The five now building and pearly ready, are the Nantucket, Lehigh, Sangamon, Kaatskill and Weehawken. The New York Times says The dimensions ef the Montana: are: Length over all, 200 feet; extreme width, 45 feet; depth of hold, 12 feet 6 inches draft of water in lighting trim, 11 feet tonnage about 1,800 tons; dimensions of turret, 21 feet inside, 11 inanea thick, 9 feet high, and pierced for two 15-inch gnna. The ship carries her anchor "in a well," forward, so as to obviate going on deck to work it.

She is balk headed, and framed probably in a stronger manner than any other vessel ever built. Her deck beams are exceedingly heavy, perhaps heavier than those of any of her sister ships, making her deck, which is 19 inches thick, nearly solid. Over this there is still an iron eoveringon-Bisa'ng of plates an inch thick. The side armor is 5 inches thick, or halt an inch thicker than that of the Warrior, and has eiitht limes a thicker wooden wall than that monster The rudder and screw are prof-ected by being intide of the armor and under water. Tbe engines will be two in number and have been built by the Delamater Iron Works.

Tbey hav already arrived at the Continental Works. Tbe cylinders are 40 inches in diameter, and about 4 feet stroke. She has two of Martin's patent boilers and a surface condenser, not Sewall's. Tbe r-crew is 12 feet in diameter and 20 feet pitch The material in the screw is- cask The ventilators and other health-preserving paraphernalia of tbe MoaWuk are as perfect us they could be made. Tbe Montauk cost as did all the others, making $3,600,000 for the nine, or thereabouts.

President Lincoln and hi Guard. The Washington correspondent of the New York Express, in his letter of the 9th says Whenever Mr. Lincoln now appears in public, on horseback, or in his carriage, be goes through the streets at a rapid pace, escorted by a cavalry guard of about twenty men, half of whom are in the advance, and the remainder in the rear of the Presidential charge. For some reason, Mr. Lincoln has allowed himself to be persuaded that his life would be endangered, if be rode about "all unarmed and alone," like Lord Lochinvar, and like Mr.

Lincoln's fifteen predecessors in the While. House. It certainly is a regrettable precedent for a chief magistrate ot this Republic to establish, in imitation of the despots of Europe, who have well founded causa to expect to as'aesinate them, while tbe Precedent of the United Spates cannot, in- good reason, entertain such reasons. The death of Mr. Lincoln -would simply have tbe effect ta plnce in the Presidential cbair, a man far more repofcoaot to tbe rebels than the present incumbent, from tbe fact that Mr.

llam'iu ia not only believed in the South to be more tadical in his leaning than Mr. Lincoln, bat is generally supposed to bave a negro t9'nt in his blood. However absurd or unfounded this supposition may be, it undoubtedly exists, and at once precludes all idea that the rebels cn anticipate any benefit to themselves from the aesai sanation of Mr. Lincoln. Tbe truth is, nobody ever thought of suoly a thing, until the fearful imaginations of offioial zealots conjured up the shadow of a danger without a substance, and set people to tb'nking about it; whereupon, tbe Precedent, yielding to the solicitations of bis ahrmed or timorous person! i Mends, consented to this bit of nnrepublican ostentation.

A Vote from Spam an the Freedom of Speech and of the Freu. The following is the substance of a remarkable article which appeared in the Contempo.xmeo, of Madrid, on the 17th ult, one of the most liberal papers in Spcin. Its sentiments are worthy of attention, coming as they do rom the Spanish quarter of the globe The freedom of speech and of the press are tbe medio ma through which can be examined and discussed eonstitationally th spirit of th Government to illustrate and direct public opinion, and to which tribunals appeals in all casts can be mad with a certainty of hearing. In th integrity of liberty of speech and freedom of the press lie the safety of th people. Free speech and a free press are the great element which form the public safety they are the very essence which make the State the powers which regulate and direct tbe movements of the political machine which point out the necessities and requirements of the age and are tbe organs of modern civilization for tbe discrimination of ideas.

In tbe libeity of the press repose the bctt guarantees of constitutions! I -eodom, end it inherently tfd tonclus'vely is the oppone it of tyranny, in whaMver form. In every ae of tbe world, even ta the rr molest tiroes, tj.ants have feared lib es of dircussior. In wben tbe tyrant Philip of Macedonia endeavored to destroy the rights of the Athevrs, it was the superhuman eloquence of Demosthenes that maintained the national enthusiasm, and which defended the liberty of the people. In France, once celebrated through its revolutionary journals as the enemy of despotism, we have a fair example of this fact in the career of tbe great Napoleon and his successor, Napoleon the III, who, after pro-claiming tbemoelves msstera of France, sap-pressed free speech at the point of th bayonet, protcribiDg the celebrated orators who had mad their names famous in the defence of liberty) and reduced the press to th miserable condition of a Slav condemning it to expend its talents in a btse pampering to its lords. 8 The momentary or permanent suppression of freedom of speech and of the press the guardian of liberty and human rights constitutes in itself a dictatorship a tyranny.

In no case ahofcld this act of despotism be permitted, for it is but the caprice of a man arbitrarily regulating and directing the deetiniee of a totate it is th suppression of law it ia the supreme authority in a single individual-it is the absorption of sovereignty, which ought to rest in the peopl. and is apt to provoke ambitious designs. But wnu a Dictator in his outrages on liberty invokes tbe principles of Democracy, then indeed a despotism results which involve the- total destruction of liberty. Always, then, in a country where a ruler jvstifiea himself by necessity in violent measures, a despotism may be looked for of tbe most odious kind. Interesting from Japan.

The New York Times, ef the 11th inst, has the follow ing: From an extract from a letter written by Hon. F. Hall to his brother in Syracuse, ruder dat of Yokabama, July 16, it appears that a second attack has been mad upon the British Legation at Yedo, Japan. Mr. Hall writes In eorsequenee of this assault, the English Minister and suite left Yedo and earn to Yokabama.

says he cannot live at a xeuo except as a prisoner mms own louse, and not safely there. The other Legations, on th contrary, remain as before without anxiety. I believe the Japanese Government desires to protect foreogsers, but there exists in Japan a fanatleal ait hostile to foreigners, who commit these outrages in spite ef th Government, and this fanatical hat seems especially directed against the English. In Yokahaasa we feel everyway aafev and I should have so fear to sleep ia the country inns anywhere within treaty limits. A party of twenty-three have just retornedfjom a two days' exisuraion, havrng passed the night mile away from nome, without a shadow of molestation.

The Boston Journal has the following description of Fort Darling, the main Confederate defence on the south? bank of James river, furnished by a refugee from Richmond, who saw the fort just before leaving. Three companies of infantry and one com--panyof marine are encamped behind the fort.

There are only thirteen guns mounted in tbe fort, but there is room for mora, and there is a marine battery, consisting of three 32-pounder rifled guns. There are also four 10-ineh solum Wada The. rest are ordinary smooth bore 32-ponuders.

Between Forju Darliag and Richmond, five miles from th latter place, there is a single row of sunken vessels, which is not commanded hy any ffana, bat can be protected by field pieces. About five band red yards nearer to Richmond is tbe pontoon bridge used for crossing troops on the opposite side of tbe river, and fully a thousand yards lower down than Fort Darling is a battery wbich is said to be mounted with twelve guns one iron battery of three guns. Central America.

The New York Jour-nal 'of Commerce has an extract from a private letter dated City of Guatemala, September 6, in which the writer aays Tbe bountiful stock of Sea Island cotton seed you were kind enough to send me, has been received. I placed the greater portion of it in tbe society Eoonomico," for distribution. The managers have given it out to different planters to try its cultivation, and many tbaaka bave been seturned for your val-M present, 1 hear, that some ef the seed yf up and promises finely, and it may prove th initiation of a valuable product of exportation from Guatemala. There are two commissioners here from Nicaragua, to see tbe President and leading men of Guatemala, to propose to them the organisation of all tbe five Central American States into one nation. Thoy ofier to make this city tbe capital, and President Canera chief magistrate.

I do not think the proposition is received with much favor by tbe Gnatemalians, at least at present. Tbe people here are verv suspicious naturally, and they fear there may tie some scoeme Deuina wbicn taey do not now understand. Therefore they will hesitate long before committing themselves to a change. Banquet to Victor Hugo. The London correspondent of the New York Evening Post, in his letter of September 20, says On Monday last a great banquet was given at B.mssels in honor of Victor Hugo.

The gathering wes an honorable one, alike to the arthor and bis admirers. There were present there Louis Blanc, who is now, bv the way, writing in the London Spectator Keffizer, of the Paris Temps Adolphe Texier, Pel let au, Cbamprleury, the author of Marietta," the most real, perhaps, of French novels written since tbe days of Balzac De Bauville, of the Opinion Rationale, Prince Napoleon's or-gpn Habeneck, of the Presse Rocbefoi of tbe Charivari and a boat of visitors less known to fame, among whom I would rank lo English newspaper men, Mr. Piggott, formerly proprietor of the1 Leader, and no a writer on tbe Daily News, and Mr. Lowe, editor of the Critic in its palmy days. Seventy-two writers, of more or less distinction, sat down to the banquet, and everything proceeded as harmoniously as testimonial banquets generally do.

No Free Negroes Wanted in Chicago. Brig. Gen. Tuttle, commander at Cairo, lately wrote to Mayor Sherman, of Chicago, stating that he had a large number of applications from the latter city for negro servants, and requesting the mayor to appoint a committee to ree that they wer properly put out to work. To this cool proposition Mayor Sherman replied that it could not be acceded to, as it would be in violation of the laws of Illinois and a great injuatic to th laboi Ing population.

Tbe Common Council of Chicago has adopted a resolution approving the mayor's action in the matter. gy Onsbundred and forty-three miserable, half-clad, frightened and woe-begone contrabands arrived at Chicago on the 6th inst. They were quartered in the colored Baptist church. 17 Among those releaced from the Rich mond prisons are several free colored men, who have arrived at their homes in PbMadel-pfaia. Tbey were last month captured on the plains of Maneraas.

Seeding is almost impossible, owinp to the dryness of the earth. The streams and springs are falling everywhere. The heat of tbe weather is August-like, but the season is healthy throughout the State. 17 The people of Hudson, N. have bit upon1 a novel expedient to secure a small change currency without disobeying'the law.

The banks of that city permit persons who ma ke deposits with them to draw checks for any sum less than a dollar. These frac'Iocal checks are now in universal ue, and have driven out postage stamps.

The Proposed Substitute for Cotton.

Th. London Morning Star (John Bright' paper) acknowledges the of a sample of the new substitute for cotton, invented by Mr. Ferrar Fenton, of Maple-ton, England, and describes it as follows It is, in appearance, about as much like cot-ton as sawoust is like wheat floor. It is in color ratber brown than white. It is rough, bard and brittle.

Its fibres are thin bat short. It has no soft down clothing and intertwining with its threads. It is, in fact, a woody rather than a woolly substance. Tbe process to which it baa been subject has no doubt effect; ed a considerable chance. Neither rbea, nor hemp, nor jute, nor China grass could hav been made to yield such a material by any of tbe arts known to our chemists or manufacturers.

Flax cannot be beaten into fibres thus fine, nor steeped in any liquid with which we ar acquainted until thus intermixed. Mr. Fenton is certainly in possession of a secret which it must hav eost much ingenuity to discover and if cotton had disappeared Trom tbe earth hie secret might be as valuable as itjs curious. We have no doubt that the yarn which has been spun from th material of which he has sent us a sample has its uses. It may compete with flax It may.

be wrought np into a coarser and stronger sort of linen. It may serve to mix with wool or silk ia tha various fabrics in wbich those substances en ter. But it is too unlike cotton to be u-ed as a obetitut for it in machinery which cannot easily be readapted to unusual deecript'ona of tbat article. Any one who has watched tbe delicate operations of th spinning-jenny and the power loom must be aware that the slightest irregularities in length or substance of the material employed must disturb the process. And if these, objections apply to Mr.

Fen-fon's are likely to apply toth other discoveries reported. By all means let tbem be tested. Let them be made to vield whatever addition to ous limited choice of textile material they ar capable of yielding. Let them be employed to work np whatever fibrous rabstancea can be grown in a climats tbat will not grow the soft, elastic, cellular tissue of tbe tropics. But to depend upoa these things for the future employment of our looms would be as unreasonable as to throw our cornfields out of cultivation because a tolerable substitute for bread had been discovered, when bread was at three times its ordinary price.

A Thunderbolt out of a Clear Sky. The announcement, by telegraph, of Stuart's recent dash into Pennsylvania, created a great sensation in the Northern cities. The New York Journal of Commerce, referring to the announcement, remarks The favorite old phrase concerning a thunderbolt out of a clear sky," must du duty once more in tbe vain attempt to express the startling and impertinent abruptness of the communication. Really, rebel impudence seems now to bave reached its farthest bound. The intelligence is too circumstantial to admit the theory that any mistake bas been made, and it is not possible that a hoax coold be so enccessfally sent over tbe wires.

The dispatch from Col. Mc-Clnre at Chambersburg to Gov. Cartin at Har-risburg, has the genuine air of dazed and hopeless despair, hardly mingled with fright it reminds one forcibly of old John Willetts, 'n Barnaby Budge, who sat in his chair with in the utterly ruined bar of the Maypole Inn. where he had been tied by the rioters, and only feebly remarked to the neighbors who sought him amid the desolation that he believed there was a trifle of broken glass to pay for." THE CITY. CounteefeiV Tickets.

The trade in counterfeit car tickets has attracted the attention of tbe City Railroad Company. In another column tbe company gives notice to the public tbat no tickets are. genuine except those sold by tb starter ana drivers. Furthermore, a reward of $109 is offered for th apprehension and conviction of any party engaged in the counterfeit ticket business. We trust that some of our expert detectives will soon secure the proffered reward.

Ikchst. An inqneet waa held yesterday on the body of an old man named John Hill, who was found dead in a house by th side of the Naw Basin, and a verdict was returned attributing death to "diarrhea."

He was an Englishman, and a painter by trade, and of late his conduct has been somewhat eccentric A firm believer in tbe spiritual faith, he suooosed tbat he held dailv inter- I course with the spirits of th departed. In deed, be placed himself completely under spiritual guidance, and day after day be abstained from eating food, at what he supposed to be spiritnal suggestions. Being very old, be was unable to support himself, and received aid from some of bis charitable neighbors.

He was once sent to the Charity Hospital, but, after remaining there one night, be returned to his old home, stating that the spirits had told him to return. The Bid Bill Case. trial of Red Bill for murder, occupied the Military Commission all day yesteday. and even yet the case is not concluded. Two witnesses have sworn that Bill attacked, stabbed, and pitched a well-drersed mm into the river, somewhere in tbe Fourth District, oa tbe day that the Federal gunboats steamed up.

Who the man was no one knew, and though many persons were about at the time, no others can be found who witnessed the It was shown, however, that Bill did play tbe rowdy on the day in question. He went into a shoe store, took the proprietor by tbe shoulder, rolled out a hogshead of sugar, knocked in the head, and told all the women and children to belp themselves. The case will probably be terminated today. Larcisies. nan Valera waa arrested yesterday on a charge of having entered the shop of S.

Silveretein, and stolen therefrom a watch and chain. Mary Kenny, Mary Loftus and Catharine Courtney were arrested on a charge of stsal-ing lumber from the Levee. Provost Court Judge Bell. Lawrence Lena and Daniel Blumer wer up yesterday on a charge of having been concerned In an attempt to circulate counterfeit tickets. It waa charged that Lena furnished Blumer with tickets, and that Blumer, in attempting to pats them in a grocery, failed, and got himself arrested.

Lena made it appear that in his business he took all sorts of tickets, and those furnished to Blumer were thus obtained. He was discharged, but Blumer was sent to prison for a month. Margaret Laughlin was brought up on a eharge of having sold liquor to soldiers. The testimony was somewhat conflicting, and a slight suspicion of spit obtained in some quarters. Furthermore, it appeared that the accused waa a poor and industrious woman.

She was fined, but only $10. An old man named Marion appeared as complainant against his he accused of failing to supply his wants. It appeared that the old man was possessed of an eccentric uisposition, and though his son provided him with tbe comfort of a horn, the father waa dissatisfied, and instituted a paternal prosecution. On tbe suggestion of the Court, the son readily eonsentadto pay th old man three dollars per weak, and the matter was thus disposed of. James Norton, for driving bis carriage without fights, had his purse to the amount of $5.

Gasper Bingle was brought in and fined $40, for failing to appear as a witness. This senUno against Bingl eaased his ears to tin-glow Henry Schubert, who made a Mkmious, and, at the same time, bootless attempt to obtain a pair of boots, WSai sent to prison for aix month. James KcPhereoa. f- m. and a white woman named Mrs.

Kaher, were arrested for being unlawfully intimate. The darkey was eat to the Pariah Prison, and the woman to tlwWorklKnBse. J. Sullivan, for staafing an anvil out of a shop which had been eeixed by the authorities was sent to prison for a month. John Hart wa up ea a charge of having attempted to kill a man on the 3d of stay lati.

The arrest was made at the instance of a eiri whose reputation ia of a questionable character. Tht gift ta her testtaooy, was quite specific She saw th accused sub a man at the Magnolia Bridge, wbich eroeee the New Basin, and eh was quit sure that th wounded man died afterwards in the Charity Hospital. Tbongh the alleged occurrence was in the day time, and in a public olace, no on else appears to have aeen it, and no one knew who waa killed. The character of the prosecuting witnera was so bad that ber atatemeot was not relied on, and the ease was of courae dierois: John Doyle and Thorn Coll'n. wer arrested on a eharge of having picked a sailor pocket.

It appeared, however, that the riilor had nothing of value in his pocket, and that tbe accused, instead of stealing anything from bint, found him very drunk, and helped place him in a comfortable situation. Toe arrest was made at the request of a negro. The accused were of course discharged. BLaTOKAXTV OP HEW ORLEAHS, 1 City Hall, Oct. S4, la.
