A large crowu of whites and blacks assem bled in front,of tho Hall yesterday evening, to hear' the addresses of several colored Conser vative speakers?particularly Williams aud Holmes, 'from Tennessee. Many of tho "League" negroes in the city did not relish the idea of ono of the race speaking on the other side, and threats were made by some few of them that Williams should not be allowed to deliver his address. In view of these threats and tho indignities offered these colored Conser vatives on the street corners, by runners and hummers of tho despicable League, the milita ry wcro on hand, in addition to the city police, to protect the freedom of speech. We noticed in close proximity to the speaker, Col. Critton don, Post Commander, and several other Fcdo - ra) officers, together with the Mayor of the city. Tho colored orator made a speech of about . ono hour's length, giving his own experience as a Union soldier, and closed by advising his colored brothers to trust to the people of the South?their former masters, as their best friends, nnd for each and all of them to have nothing whatever to do with tho League His spebch Was eminently G' nsorvativo throughout, and if hla colored friends will heed his admo nitions thoy will be wiser. Ho was followed by Holmes, George Williams, Watt Potter and other colored ftpunkcrp. Before the conclusion of tho meeting, a largo number of nogroes had assembled, who testified their disapprobation to free speech by jeers, loud yells, and when Williams, of TonnosscD, attempted to jiuictjy retire at the oloso, a number of uj?groes crowd ed around tho cab in which he was bmviug, and threatened to pull him out.

Strength. The United States government now extends its jurisdiction over so extensive a scope of country, that it is fast losing its unity hi' its immensity. We mean by this, that the strength of a republican government lies in that onc-ncss of.intorcst aud of feeling, which enlists the hearts of the 'peoplo in every sec tion in the same enterprises, and makes them wort together for objects, of which all can share the advantage : and that, as soon as any coun try becomes so large, and its interests so diver sified, that the prosperity or misfortune of one section scarcely affects another, then there is an olement of disunion in the very sizk of the country, and the acquisition of territory is solf-dcstruetivc. We have in ancient limes ?the example of Rome, who, while she was eoii tcut from her : even hills, to speak forth her sovereign utterances* to-the people within the sound of her voice, and bounded her ambition by the Alps on the North, and the Mediter ranean and Adriatic on other sides, was the greatest power in the ancient world. But when she had to proclaim her mandates second hand, by means of military chieftains acting as her spokesmen in distant and diverse re gions, the unity of the nation was' destroyed, and her cxtenssion wns her ruin- .\ The same drama is about to be enacted iu ?our own country. We see every day the de sire evinced by the powers that be. to over shadow vaster domains with the wings of the American Eagle. Now, of what interest is it to us of the South, or even to any of the States on this side of the Rocky Mountains, that the United States should own the snowelad peaks, of Alaska, and the icebound seas between them and the North Pole? Or what do the Esqui maux care for the acquisition of Cuba, or other India islands ? Look at the American Re public of to-day. and compare it with the Land of our fore-fathers in 1800. At first glance, one would exclaim that this is a much stronger government, than the one of seventy; yearn ago: .but the close observer will sec. that I much of the boasted power is apparent, only. Then, thirteen States were united in interest, and in looking for territorial'extension, they turned to the domain now converted into the great Slates of the West along the Ohio and Mississippi rivers j and in the dcvclopcmcnt of these re sources every one of the old States felt an ac tual and tangible interest. They were suffi ciently near to each other to sympathies with each other's weal or woe. It was truly UE jduribus vitum.." But now, so diversified are the 'interests of the pooplo of the Republic, so i remote arc the extremes from each other, that the citizens" of different sections are strangers, utter strangers to each other. In no respect docs this want of unity dis play itself more forcibly than in the formation of political parties. Tho country is so large, that the very issues, upon which the different parties are fighting in oiic part of the nation, aro entirely ignored in other parts, and new is sues coustitututo there the bones of contention. For instance, tho States of Maine and Cal ifornia have respectively been the scenes of groat political struggles iu the past two weeks. Now we. mean to say. that although in both States the contest was between the Republican and Democratic parties, and upon platforms which were called Republican and Democratic in both States, yet a California Republican would hardly be able to affiliate with a Maine Repub lican, or a California Democrat endorse the political creed of the Democrat of Maine. And, to take a more i'amilior illustration, tho, matter of UN1V EKtiAb SUVKllAflK is becoming an ele ment of discord among the Republicans at the North ; while here at the South, it is not made an issu; at all by Conservative Anti-republi cans... r* w,V',i. ? . To bring this to bear upon our present po liticnl condition, wo draw this conclusion that with tho contests between the Democrats and Republicans at tbo >?{p'rth, wo orm have nothing to do. Tho, Democratic platfornvio'f I the Northern Sattes -is impracticable^ hcrpMh the present juncture j and the Republican platform, i? successful, will be tho death-war rnnt to our prosperity.
