Tho r only practical movement which has been begun Is tho* withdrawal of tho South- orrt Students from the Medical Colloges in Philadelphia.

This is in accordance with Greely'* order, and, ns Mr. Dickinson, of Louisiauntv, told them yesterday, they dare not dis obey thoir roaster.” As regards the matter of orgt nization, and the responsibility for the failure, p closo attention for two days- to the de bates in tho Houso has only served to confirm the opinions advanced in the Republican of tlio 17th instant. The Democrats linvo no man whom they can place in a position xvnong themselves when tho entire forco t>f the Southern Opposition united wit a thoiroivn, would bo sufficient to eloo„ him. Thoy have boon challenged t/o do it, to nnnounco thoir rendinesx-to tho Opposition, who have obligator! thomselyfcs in that event to entertain a proposition for a union. They nroiinnhlo to do it, from tlio sim ple fact, that thoy cannot command tho Ami-Lccoiupton wing of their party.— The Democracy aro thus powerless, und tuo unanimous co-operation .of the Southern Opposition on their candidate, will n6t help thorn out of tho difficulty and defeat tho Ropublieun candidate, which, confessedly at least, is tho great conservative ana patriodic object in view. I havo heretofore intimated that woro tho Democracy willing to do right, u southern Speaker could probably be oleoted, and the groat end in view—tho defeat of a .Black Republican organiza tion—obtained. The events of to-day havo removed tho last shadow of doubt from tho questiou and fixed the respon sibility clearly and incontrovortibly, whore it properly belongs. Lei, tlio country look at tho facts, and form an honost, impartial judgment in the promises. During the last night tho Opposition had a consultation, and ascertained that they could concentrate asulllcient num ber of votes upon Mr. Giliner, of North Carolina, a true .Southern man, to olcct him, provided tho Democracy would cast thoir eighty-eight available votes for fllo same gentleman. Hero was a plain, fair, practical and swrplan for de feating the Black Republicans and or- ? ;auizing tlio House forthwith. Tho iict was announced this morning bv Mr. Stokes, of Maryland, and lie exhort ed the Democrats to forget party and elevate themselves to the level of their high duties to thoSouth and tho country, what did thoy do ? Let tho South rend it in n word :—They rejected the proposition, and when the vote ttaken every one of them voted for a Democratic candidate ! 11 was completely within thoir power to elect Gilmorwitliout the. aid of their Atiti- Locompton brethren, and they refused to do it, leaving the House still unor ganized, and rondoring tho election of a Black Ropublioi ty vote, certain. tr Tho mail is ab91.1t closing while the riousoi# engftged in a second vote, with out any hotter prospect of an election, and 1 havo no time for comment. The facts though speak for themselves nnd in thunder tones. It is worthy of noto that yesterday, tho entiro Georgia delegation voted for Gen. Millson, a Virginia Democrat. Other .Southern Opposition men hesidosMessi's. Hill and Hardman, also voted for him. It is still worthier of note tlmt* tlio entiro Democratic vota was cast for Gen.

WASUINOTON.-Deo. 27,—The Mfeftngo or tho President was communicated to C'ongreas to day at 12 o'clock. Tho President, after expressing grftti- tudo to tlio Almighty for tho many tiles- sings which havo been extended to this eounfvy, throughout the prist year, re fers fo the recent bloody occurrences which took plueo at Harper's Ferry. Thoso acts, though bad and cruel in themselves, derive their chief inipor- tadco from apprehension, and are but symptoms of tlmt apparently incurable disease in tlio public mind, which may break out in still more dangerous out rages, und terminate in an open war by tho North to ntmlishslavery in tliesouth- ern portion of our Union. While tho President, himself, cuterainod no such apprehensions, they ought to afford a solemn warning to us all to bovvaro of tlio insidious approach of such dangers. The president implores his fellow coun trymen, of tho North and tlio South, to cultivate thoir ancient toolings of mu tual forbonranoo and good will towards cuoli other, and strive to allay tlio in fluence of the demon-spirit of soctioiml lint red and strife now alive in the land. Ho says, this advice proceeds from tlio heart ofnn old public functionary, whose service commenced in the last genera tion, and with the wise conservative statesmen of that day. He indulges in no gloomy forebodings of tlio future, and thinks tlmt the Harper's Ferry affair will be tlio menus of allaying tlm exis ting oxcitomcnt and preventing further outnrukes. The President congratulate* Congress on tho final settlement by tho Supreme Court of the question of slavery in the Territories. The right 1ms been estab lished that overy citizen can tuko bis property, of ovory kind, includiiigslaves, into all tlio territories belonging equal ly to tlio whole of the coufleilcraoy, and have it protected there utidor the Feder al Constitution. Neither Congress, nor a Territorial Legislature, nor any human power 1ms any authority to annul or im pair tliis vested right. Thus lias tlia status of a territory, during the interme diate period from its first settlement un til it becomes a State, been irrevocably fixed by tho final decision of tho Su premo Court of tlio United States. Tlio Prcsidout then describes the mode for the admission of a Territory ns a State into tho Union.—lie says ft may bcadmited with or without slavery,, as thoir constitution tnay prescribe at the time of thoir application. This prill-, ciple 1ms been fully recognised, in some form or other, iu former years, and by tlio almost unanimous vote of both hou ses of tlio lust Congress. The President says that all lawful moans ut his command have been em ployed, and will continue to be employ ed, against tlio violations of our laws prohibiting tlio African Slave Trade. Our history proves tlmt tlio Fathom of our Ropublic, iu advance of nil other nations, condemned tho slave trade. Ratifications lmvo been exchanged, nnd two supplemental conventions are now pending, relating to the rights of Americans iu Chinn and transit duties. All our difficulties with -Pnruguuy lmvo been satisfactorily in (justed. Our relations with Franco aiul Rus sia, and with nil tho continental gov ernments of Europe. Spain.'perhaps, ex cepted, continue most friendly. The President recommends tlint an appropriation he made to meet the de mands of the Armistnd claimants. Tho President's opinions in favor of tlio acquisition of Cuba, by the United •States, by a fair and honorable pur chase, remain unchanged. Ho there fore again iuvitOs tho serious attention of Congress to this important subject, Hq had good reasons, until recently, to believe tlmt he would be able to an nounce tlmt our difficulties with Great Britain, growing out of the Clayton Bui- wer treaty, would have been finally ad-j justed in a manner alike honorable and satisfactory to botli countries. From causes, however, which Great Britain had not anticipated, she 1ms not yet completed her ttvaiy arrangements with Honduras and Nicaragua, in pur suance of tho understanding between the two governments, It is. neverthe less, confidently oxpseted that these pending negotiations will be e eomplislicd. In relation to Sail Juan the President entertains no doubt of tlio validity of our title, lie is happy to state that tin- negotiations which were left to Gen. Scott’s discretion, could not have been placed in better hands, and he success fully accomplished the pur|»oso of his mission. There is no longer any rea son to apprehend neolliwon between tho respective forcos during the pending negotiation*. lie regrets that Mexican affairs arc unimproved. He speaks on the sub ject at length, nndVtatos that outrages of tho worst discription have been com mitted on the persons and property of citizens of the United States. Therein scarcely any form of injury which has not been suffered by our citizens there during the past few years. Wo liavo been nominally at peace with Mexico, but so far as our interests, our com merce, orour citizens there in any pri vate capacity is concerned, wo might as veil have boon engaged in open war. I11 August last, Mr. MoLnne. the Minister of the United States to Mexi co, sent a communication, in which he expressed the hope tlmt tlio President would fool authorized to ask from Con gress for the authority to enter Mexico with military forces at the call of tho tRational authorities, in order to protect our citizens and our treaty rights. Unless such authority is con ferred on the President outrages will continue to be committed 011 our citi zens and our guarantied rights. The President adds that ho has been re luctantly led to adopt the same opin ion, nnd lie feels bound to announoo this conclusion to Congress. This is a question which relates to the future as well ns to tiie present and the past.— The aid which Mexico requires, should ho extended to her, it devolves on this government to rondor it, not only by vir tue of our neighborhood to Mexico, but by virtue also of our established policy, which repudiates the intervention of any European power in the domestic concerns of that Republic. For reasons stated, the President re commends the. passage of a law autho rizing him to employ such military force a* may he necessary for the purpose Jp»f obtaining indemnity for the past and security for the future. .Should it he the pleasure of Congress tlmt volunteers should he selected for such a purposo, force could be easily raised in this coun try among those who sympathise with the sufferings of our fellow citizens in Mexico, and with tlio past and present unhappy condition of that country.— Such an accession to tho forces of tho ■ constitutional government of M< I would enable it soon to reach the cupl ma, Nicaragua and Tehuantepec routes. He again recommends to Congress to { >ass a law, giving tho President author*!- y to employ our naval forco in protect ing American commerce againut seizure nnd confiscation in Mexico and in Span ish American States. I11 relation to tlio failure of the pass age of the Post Office appropriation bill, at the last session of Congress, ho recommend* tho passage of n I>111,at the earliest day, to provide for the payment of the amounts duo to conductors, in eluding interest; nnd’aiso to make ap propriatinns for that department for tho current year. Thcjconstruction of a Pacific Railway is recommended for reasons urged in his former annual messages, Tho President says it appoars ex tremely doubtful whether we shall b« ablo to pass through the present mid next fiscal year without additional reve nue. .Should a deficiency occur ho re commends that tho necessary revenue shall be raised by all increase in the sent duties on imports. In ennelusion, ho recommends to tho just liberality of Congress, the local in terests of tho District of Columbia. [From tho Kpiicopn! Heoordor.] Washington Irving.

I’m going to leave on the very noxt train. Undo Boh was futoninlicd : tho gentleman (as soon its Undo B. lmd drawn his pistol nnd up- plied it) saw his mistake vanished amid of tho by-stmiders— Waynes boro Xc , 27th. nS^Buming fluid explosions aro not usually caused by contact of tho flame with the fluid itself, but with tlio gas that is always escaping from the fluid when open to tho uir.

But the Southern Opposition, on at least three several occasions, liavo commanded votes enough for two of their little party, (Gilmer and Boteler) to enable the Democracy to elect them easily if they lmd boon so inclined.— These two simple facts aro sufficient to dissipate all the Democratic sophistry about the responsibility of the Southern Americans for the failure to organize tiie Houso. The Southern Opposition have never had a chance to elect any body hut Sherman, and that they refused to do, and will refuse to the end of tho chapter; while the Democracy have had several opportunities to elect a Southern sluvoholding Speaker, andvlml they re fuse to do. though they know the only alternative is the election of a Black Re- ’ i publican.
