Tbo World audita Edi tort—'Tain ■kir U< t|>« City Author-i lk ew York, 20th July, 1871- Editor of the Sun: Your reply of the 19th inet to the World of this city list been here three day*. It has made quite an impresiion upon the mind* of many staunch Democrat*, who were before partly committed to the “New Departure.” Many of them now candidly confess that they are taken back by your argument. The World ha* not yet replied, or taken any notice of the article, though I eecit ha* been republished in full in Connecticut It may be proper for your reader* to know that there are several Editor* of the World, and no two of them agree exactly ni>on any line. Most of those who write for tint paper, it is believed, are men engaged to W’ritc professionally, bare ly ; and to bring forth articles to suit the views of the Proprietors, without ut all indicating their own individ ual opinions, just as men ut the bar make arguments to suit the case of their client*. Few of them write their own earnest convictions. What is true of the World in this particular is most unfortunately true ot most of our leading papers at this time. Mr. Marble, who may bo consid ered the editor-in-chief of the World at this time, it may be proper for your reader* to know, was, I believe, never a Democrat on the old line— His paper was started as a lladical sheet. It was not until about the close of the war, that it passed into the bund*.of a few Democrats, who entered into a joint stock company for its purchase. Since then it has been considered a Democratic paper, with Mr. Marble at its head. From this Viow of his antecedents it w'ill be seen why he naturally enough wants the Democratic Party to “depart” from their “old lime honored creed,” and adopt the principles of tho lladi- eul Party, upon which lie lias indi vidually stood all tho time. Of tuc other contributors to that paper, or the other members of the editorial staff us it is called, I need not speak. Some of them 1 know to lie true as well as uble men. It is from these, all the sound Democratic articles which appear in the paper come. Tammany is in great troublo now. The city authorities are arraigned lie- fore the public for sanctioning great alleged fronds in tho administration of the city government. I forbear all comments at present. Ana us, upon momentous points (in spite of tho severest oppression), to anything that I have ever rood in history, al though I approve of their course us yet, but advise adherence to your programme for the future. Another step in the old direction must sull ied them to the scorn of the world! The Democracy, in the hour of real trial, must not surrender the essential principles of tho Constitution. Have the peoplu of the country at large pondered upon tho prosjiect be fore them ? I date the commencement of serious trouble at the very moment when (Jenenil'Grant shall ha recog nised us the elected President in 1873 by Congress, with or without a suf ficient electoral vote. The nneatiou of tho “ Empire,” will, at that in stant, lie, informally or directly, mooted seriously. People uttaeli too much importance to words that have a meaning any way thut interested philologists may seo proper to give to them. No man can tell what the new government may be termed. But, us a practical mail, I mean to say, that until this fact shall be fully ac complished, wc shall sec no overt act of Executive authority not author ized by Congress. The real struggle will come when the Legislative and Executive branches of the Govern ment meet front to front! And this will be the case in less than three years (but a moment in the history of nations). It will then become the duty of tho Democracy to tako a decisive stand, Cato.

It must always be understood when I speak of what the Conservative party ought to do, or ought not to do, that I do not depend so much upon my own exclusive judgment. The letters I write are rather dictated by statesmen who are not to be again fooled by men of no principle st alL 1 am, nevertheless, of this way of thinking—otherwise I would refrain from writing altogether. And this leads me to nvow that nothing could more seriously damage the South os a moss of people, than deucy, accompauied by a' dubious, or an unannounced political creed. What would it avail the South whether the so called Democratic party in the next National Convention should sec proper to put up Trumbull, or Chase, or llendricks, or Thurman, or Hoffman, or Greeley, or any of the other aspirants for that honor, if it fidls to pnt the candidate upon a platform in consonance with truly constitutional principles ? The trae lovers of constitutional liberty abhor such tricks!

TUcro must bo something wrong in the atmosphere around Savannah; and the Board of Hoaltli slionld order an investi gation at onoe. A Press telegram from Washington, oontainiog tbo slightest bint at fraud in certain quarters is sufficient to causo a commotion, and bring delegations of her oithsens to the National Capitol. But, occasionally there turns up on individual whose business engagements will not per mit him to leave the aity, and liu must perforce content himsolf in forging tliundcrbolta ont of paper and ink and firing them off through tho mail.

Sir -I have the honor to inform you that for over two months I have stood tho misrepresentations and malicious falsehoods of many portion, concerning the Gould imbroglio, without so much as giving the reports I hear aa much thought os I wonld one of my dogs. But forbear anco has ceased to become a virtue with me in connection with this affair, and I propose to set myself right, and respoot- fuliy inform you what I have made by Gould's defalcation, viz: tho loss of three month’s pay, over five hundred dollars' worth of groceries, and small sums of monoy loaned him at various times, and to cap all, tlie loss of my credit, which was good anywhere and for any amount, and hut but not toast, am a bankrupt. If tho late Hon. Edwin M. Stanton was alive, be oould tell yon as to whether I am an honorable man or not. I don’t propose to allow these small office-holders to anoy me, for my honest opinion is—with hut one or two exceptions—honosty departed from this section, and for littlo or noth ing, anything would ho dons to vent sotno (Kitty spleen. Tho Department does not desire ono-tcntli part the posses sion of gold that I desire to sco him here. I do not propose to suffer for the sins of others, and can ho fouud at my place of Imsincsefrom live a. si., until niuor. u., every day, any timo I wanted. Oue Alvin B. Clark, Assistant Assessor, claims to havo authority from your De partment to prosccuto mo us ouo of the principals in Gould's defalcation. I know him to ho a notorious liar and respectfully ask of yon whether any snob instructions havo ever been issued to him. It makes no difference to mo whatever. Very Reipectfully, (Signod) A. B. Alden. This letter was treated by the Commis sioner precisely as it deserved: Twas marked "No answer required” and filed away in the archives of the department. The letter ia simply an insult to tho Com missioner. If ho (Alden) is perfectly in- nocent of any complicity in the Gould defalcation, what need he care as to what instructions have been issued to Alvin B. Clarke ? There is no danger to tho innooent. It is only con templated to prosecute tho guilty, and Mr. Alden has not made tho least im pression by his attempt to bluff' the Oommistionor. One thing Mr. Alden oan rest assured of, and that is, Major Gonld trill return, and all tho mysteries oonnectod with lus defalcation ana flight will be made clear; and it is advisable for thoso who expect to get hurt to stand from undor..
