As to your first inquiry, Congress, in my opinion, has no mom constitutional power to * territorialize " the u seceded States" (so called) than to make territoriesof Ohio and Wisconsin.

The States made the Fedeial Government, in the beginning; but now the febleof Saturn is reversed, end the child devours the parent. As to your second inouiry?the pre* bnhle " result if the radical scheme be curried out or attempted "?pardon me a little Latin 1 de Carthagine satcus est tilers quam dicere. Only general re suits, at the most, can be fbracen by the wisest of mortals, and in these daik times, when every lesson of history, and avery lew of God, of man, of poliiical economy and of finance, seem to bo broken with impunity, and when either . folly or treachery, or cowardice, or all three together, thwart the wisest, most honest, most patriotic plans for the public good, I bave ceased even to speculate as to the future; much less do I venture to prophesy. Yet, I think that bad -the programme for the political campaign of 1800, as agreed upon, formally, at Washington, in April and May last, been honestly, courageously and vigorously carried out, instead of j being set aside, for that combination of . procured abortion and accidental miscarriage, the Philadelphia Convention of August 14lh, we should have had as great a victory in the fall elections as a i J i.:.. r wo Buucrcu ucumvo uncni, ab iv n, 1 fear that the laat hope of the reaction perished then, and that the " Great Rev olution of i8fll " must now go on un" checked, till either it ahall have overturned totally in foririj as already substantially in fact, that great old Federal Republic which our fathers set up ; substituting in its stead imperialistic despotism, under the shadow of the name and form and the cant of free institutiona or have precipitated a counter revolution, through which, by the expiation of fire and blood, and suffering, it may be, the American people shall recover that light, free, cheap system of government Which they so eagerly and recklessly have thrown away. All this, indeed, was implied by the late.civil war for the Union, when it commenced ; and I, for one, have no new. quarrel with radicalism and its exponents for striving to attain the natural, legitimate and inevitable -esults of changing our system from a Government of consent to a Government of coeroion or force. At the ??mo time I am not prepared to compete with then\ in the race of radicalism; and if I wore, I should aim JT at that which alone could command sue* >" c?s?; to " ont-Jlerod Tierod,"'and go at one bound ?q far heyond its present de r mands, . thai . Republican radicalism would stand aghast. I should " cutun/ der " to-deep that no * lower deep*1 could be (band or fathomed. For,jn sooth, I am not one of those who dolode tbetnroires with the vain notion, that by yielding one half the other can be made secure. Such "sops to Cerebus" never silence the' triple beaded dog ol fanaticism. And there is but one w?y to deal with a revolution ; either'to go with it totally, and ahead of it, or Agnl It every ineh'and crnth it.

Would New England, Ihink you, see the point! 2. Without a single representative man, to whom all defer, in any depart ment of the Federal Government, or any State Government in the North or West, without even a general committee, always in session, and having the confidence of the patty, and therefore without any means to give uniformity, concert and promptitude to the opinions and actions of iho Democratic party, upon the sudden -and very grave niieslinnv which ' in-tho midst of a re volution every day, bring# forth to perplex and divide, what that party needs most now, ia it not a flirt clans dnity newspaper, say at Washington?like the old Washington Globe?secure on its pecuniary foundation, totally Democratic in its politics, controlled by * clique, dependent only on the Demo cratic masses for support, the reflex ol their sentiments, devoted heartily tc their interests, and edited by" some on< or more of the statesmen of the country having an established national roputa tion, and in whose ability and integrity alike the people have full confidence!

A Frenchman says of a clever man, ibnt he has a fine nose ; of a prudent one, thAt he has a good nose; of a proud man, tbat hs carries bis nose in the air; an inquisitive person is said to poke his nose everywhere; a gourmand is desciibed as siways having his nose in bis plate ; that ui ui? Bciiuinr ib saiu 10 ue always in hi* books. When an individual is growing angry under provocation, the French say the mustard is rising to his nose.? The English say of a man who does not form very decisive opinions?who is led by what others say rather than by his own judgment?that he is led by the nose. Others who d</themselves harm when trying to injure nn enemy, are said to have cut off the noseto*pite the face. And in love affairs, when a rival has been supplanted, it is said that he has had his nose put out of joint. A whole issue of the llome Journal might be filled with the humorous al? lesions which have been made on the nose. From the earliest times, down to the present, it would seem as if there were a tacit agreement among mankind to make the nose a subject of jest. The following is a .versification of a rctnaik said to have been made by the Emporor Trojan on a man, who not only had a very largo nose, but largo teeth, also: "Let Dick one summer'* day expose Before the sun his monstrous noso. And stretch his giant mouth, to cause Its shades to fall upon his jaws ; His nose so long, his mouth so wide, And those twelve grinders, sido by aide, I>ick, with very litt1? trial, Would moke au excellent sun dial/' The literal translation of the remark ih . jHiu'nig juur |iui?o u|i|iu9ue iu me bud, and, opening your mouth, you will show th3 hour to all observers. Another Greek poet desctihen the nose of a man as being so large that its 'distance from his earn pievenled him from hearing himself sneeze. And of Castor's rose, it is said it combined all the useful in struments of life?a spado, a trumpet, an anchor, a pot book, etc. Although the nose has boen ridiculed - through all time, and held in contempt, yet the majority of the greatest men who hare ever lived have been noted for large noses. Tbe Romans h?d a proverb : " JVon cuiquc datum est habere hasuni "?it is not common to every one to have a nose ; meaning .that it was not evory one who could boast of a prominent n??sal appendage,or, to speak more plainly, have an expressive nose. Cyrus the Great bad a long, slimp nose, and the Persians of the present day, in order ^iat they may resemble, in one particular, at least, their great warrior, pinch their no?es to resomble his.? Cicero was called the orator with the equivocal nose. - Julius Caesar had an aquiline nose; so had Aspaaia, Pari*, and Achilles; but the nose of the old philosopher, Socrates, it is sad to relate, was a decided pug. It is almost needless to say that the nose enters very largely into the matter f of parsonnl beauty. All writers on phy Muiogy nuu u<$nuirv grent *ircs* on (lie part itmuat lake in the facial' outline. Soma call it tho regulator of all tbeolher features. One claims it should be one-thir.l the length from the tip of the chin to the roots of *he hair, and, if there is any deviation from this rule, it must be an_ e*ce**, for it would bo better to have loo large a nose than one ^ too sroalli Plato called the aquiline ? the rovai nose, and, fioin the fact that the suVjec'a (>f most of the eaily sculptors and pointers were represented as having largo nose*, we may judge that " they preferred ,?bem to small onts. 1 " Give ine," said Napoleon, " a mnn with 1 a jjo<?<l allowance of a-nose.

John Covode called upon Secretary Stanton yesterday, and there en sued a long and friendly discourse on tho status of the country. Mr. Stanton appeared very desirous of discussing the Current events of national import, r.nd expressed biiti*elf freely. Lie confessed that from the very outset the disputations of the Executive and Legislative branches of the Government had caused him the livliest alarm, which, since the movement toward impeachment, had .increased to an apprehension of revolution and anarchy. The burden of his remarks was in regard to certain Bets of the President and Congress, and be pointed gloomily to the deleterious ef fects of each upon tho nation. In parting with Covode, Mr. Stanton reniakcd : 1 I aided to place two millions of men in the field to put down the rebellion ; three hundred thousand have bitten the dust, and an equal number are cripple* throiqjlxjut the land { and yet, with all this tremendous effort and corresponding sacrifieo, tho country, in my judg ment, is shadowed with gloom of a dark er hour than was incident to any crisis of the lato war.' ThiHatter expression of Mr. Stanton's solicitude is given me with scrupulous exactitude by a gentleman minntely acquainted with every circumstance in the premises? and who further avers that the Secretary seemed completely unmanned when ho uttered the, last rcmatk, and abruptly turned from his visitors to conceal his emotion." methcd18t ritotesta n-t8 of aladam a avd Geohoia.? Mishop Andrew informs us, says the Southern Christain A.lvivola that at ihn MNinl PnnfpwneA of the Methodist Protestant Church in Aotaugnville, the stiljeet of holding a Convention pf that Church next May in Montgomery, pertly to consider "the question of union with the M.E.

Of course, the union is contingent upon the pas??ngo of .the Oencral Conference resolution admitting lay representation intc(. oar Church. liishop Andrew , thinks that this measure, as also that of charge of name, will undoubtedly pass , -~rs they ought to do.

The fact is the land*owners of this District have erred in conceding more reedom to the freedmen than to a white nnn. Hero is tho proof of it. In De ember there was a strong effort by both airfield planters and those (or their igents) from Florida, Texas and Missis ippi, to secure sufficient labor for 1867. ['hp competition was fairly carried on ; o far as w6 know, not a?ingle instance incurred where the freedman wan not eft entirely free to choose employers shere ho.preferred. Bnt upon the first >f January, hundreds of contracts had >oen closed between employer and la>orer-in the Distilct. And what folow? ? Simply this?land-owners or heir agents from olher States hare come ind many of those contracts have come o grief from" the fact that the freedmen inve been prevailed upon ts go else* vjhere for higher wages. Now we put this simple question to ifl whom it may concern. If, instead >f these freedmen violating their conracta, tho violation were committed by he employer, would we not have the h'reedmen's lluremt agents down upon is like a durk upon a June bug? Is there no protection to the employ?r ? Ho is compelled to forfeit aeon siderable portion of his income by such ] * vtolat:?.n of tlie contracts, while the laborer foifcits nothing. General Scott makes another point in his voluntary advice. Il is as to the duty of impressing upon the freedrnen respect for law and duty. Now it hap pens that the way things are woikmg in (his section, law and duty are best respected in their violation than in their obsei vauce. ? -<?>? Accotidino to ono of our exchanges, Governor Orr has stated that a coin' pany, with a capital of five millions, is now forming to commence a manufacturing establishment on a largo scale in this State. Wheie, when, and to whom this statement was made is not mentioned, nor is any information given as to the nature of the enterprise about to he started wjth such ample means. It is to be hoped, however, that the state ment is correct, as (he use of so large a capital in any kind of manufacture will help to reconstruct our Slate on the most solid foundations. Capital is one of the wants of the South, which it will be found most difficult to supply, and its advent into our midst should always be heartily welcomed.?Phoenix. Southkrn Young Mrs ? Hie vounc men of the South haveit in thpir power to make ft new South of the old. They have nhown their energy and self denial in war, nod if they exhibit anything like the same qualities in peace, they will build up their section ireyond the powers for mischief of their bitterest enemies. The way to do this is simply to avoid politics and go to woik ; to apply their whole souls to the woik of creative industry to woik in all its forms, whether the field or the shop, whether agricultural or mechanical. Lot them rise- above the absurd predjudices against manna! labor. There isjio form of labor which is degrading, and if they were willing to perform manual drudgo rv in the ranks for the sake of the South, in war,"let them he willing to do the same in the ranks of peaceful industry, and the salvation.of their section is secure.?
