Where is the Nioiit GuAnn l—While the pre

disagreeable alfair to have to go into such places. But
where wore they on Sunday night when those “ mys
terious knockers” wreuched up the iron grating on
the east Bide of Messrs. Marshall & Aikiu’s store, and
attempted an entrance ! Tills was the most public
place in the city : on Monument Square, witii a do

splendor directly upon the atoresaid grating, und
within thirty yards of it. We understand that a spe

of intermeddling, but simply suggest thut it would

Danger of tho Union—Temper of the
Northern Press.
The result of the recent ineffectual legislation in
Congress, oil tho subject of our sectional difficulties,
lias given rise to vurious speculations iu regard to
tbo iuturc, and has culled forth the expression of ex-
tremo opinions from men who have heretofore been
temperate in their language, whatever may have been
their feelings on tho subject of tlto differences be
tween the North and tho South. We were puitted at
reading the following paragraph in the New York
Express, a pupor which we ltuve ulwuys regarded as
maintaining liberal views towards tlto South, and
which lias certainly opposed the movetneus of the
abolition faction of tho North, to whom all this diffi
culty and discoi d is most unquestionably chargeable.
The editor, alluding to the remarks of Air. Davis, ol
Aliss., in the Senate, in which that gentlcmuu expres
sed the belief thut tho army of the United States
would refuse to shed the blood of their fellow citi
zens of Texas,says:
We have no doubt that it would bo n most painful
and ungracious duty lor any officer of the army, or
for any soldier in the army, to draw his svvmd cr
carry his musket against a sister State. But lie would
remember, in such u contest, tlireo things, which
would sustain him in tho discharge of a soldier’s du
ty, however painful it might be: first, loyally to the
government in whose service he was : secondly, the
treasunuble conduct oi tltoeo against whom ho was
marching ; aud finally, the wrongs of those he Would
bo called upon to delend. These are motives that
would animate most any tnun,—Air. Davis, of Alias.,
of course, expected. But if file liuio should ever
come, witich God in his mercy forbid, when such
disloyalty found its way into the army of the United
Stuff's, then, at the summons of the Executive, thou
sands of American citizens, from every quarter of
of tlie Union, animated by a love of country, and
witii a singleness of heart and of purpose, would
present themselves to do battle for the Union, for tlie
Goustitution, and for tlie laws of the land. We are
not, iu this country, thunk Ili-uven, so dependent up
on a standing army of 10,000 tneu as to be frightened
by such a scare-crow uppeals as to its disaffection in
a caso of most trying emergency.
The threat contained in this paragraph is unwor
thy, the editor ol the Express, who, if ho meuns by
“every quarter of the Union,’’ to embrace Georgia
or any other Southern State is greatly mistaken in his
calculation.
Tho people of the Southern States are as much
Httftehed to the Uuion ns those of the North ; but the
mere name of “ the Union” is Dot enough for them.
With us tho Union implies a national compact—a
Union of Independent Sovereign States, on a basis of
perfect EQUALITY. Such a Union commands our
loyalty nnd veneration, und for. the defence and
maintenance of such a Uuion against all enemies, nt
home or from abroad, our people are as rendy and
willing to spend their substnuce.aud to lay down their
lives as those of any other section embraced within
its limits ; and it is for its preservation in its integri
ty and purity, thut we ure now contending, lint tlie
mere word “ Union” is not a balm for all tlie politi
cal evils that may be inflicted upon a people in its
name. Of this we have a striking illustration, nnd “
warning in tlie British Union. Ireland is a member
of the “ United Kingdom,” ns Georgia is of the
“United States”—but Union, that has been a bles
sing to us, as an equal in the compact, lias been a curse
to her as nil inferior. Ireland’s wrongs find no re
dress in a Union witich is to her a chain of bondage!
What tfien is Union to her ? What would it lie to us
in hercondilion of inferiority t The word Uuion, an
applied to States implies equality and mutual adoan'
tage, and without equality, tho name becomes a
mockery and the tin u chain. It is to preserve this
equality, and to maintain these relations, that tlie pat
riotic men of tho South are now striving; and it is for
their eflorts to uphold and perpetuate the Union, for
which they have sacrificed so much and from which
they have derived.such blessings, that they are threat
ened witii tlie sword and bayonet by tlie editor.
We trust that a little cool reflection will convince
hiin of the rashness of Itis threats, and thut lie wilt
be the last to foster ami inculcate a spirit of hostility
and violence against the South.
In how much better spirit are the following re
marks from tile Journal of Commerce. The Journal
asks. “ Is the Union to be dissolved, and for what!”
It declares that tbeNorth is in ignorance of the dutiger
that awaits tho Union.—that lie must be an Incarnate
Fiend who desires n servile war at. tlie South.
“What” it asks, “if this Union were dissolved!
Would slavery be thereby abolished 1 no; bufthein
fluence, which tlie free States, while politically uni
ted to tlie sieve-holding, cun exert over tlie subject,
would become u repellent power, and tho prospects
of the slave would be more hopeless than ever.”
Tho editor then alludes to file wicked anticipation
entertained by some, of a revolt by the blacks in case
of a rupture with the North. Tho effect, ho says,
would be appalling, and would end in u “ fearful re-
tributiou upon the blacks, followed by a riveting of
their chains more firmly than ever. We repeat" says
the editor “ and mean what we say, thut any man
who desires a servile war at tii.-i South, witii all the
frightful consequences which must ensue, is an lu-
carniite Fiend.” He continues :
The South could, if necessary, raise n force of COO,
000 fighting men; sufficient to resist any army that
could be seat against them from uuy quarter, in
short, we do not believe that there is a nation on earth
that could conquer tlie South. The N urth could not;
Great Britain, with all her power, could not. Neith
er do we believe that a war with tile South would
give freedom to many slaves. Those near the fron
tiers would of corn- e be early seut into the interi
or, beyond the reach of scouting parties and Aboli
tionists. Tlie English, iu the war of I812-15,in spite
of nil their efforts, captured or decoyed Away only
about 3000 slaves, for which they ufterwards indem
nified the owners. -•
The nation is surrounded with perils; an,l it re

Correspondence of the Daily Morning Netos.
New-Youk, July 30, 1850.
The intense heat of the weather, tho thermometer
being 92° as I write, evidently imparts a sluggishness
to every body and every tiling, not even a sufficient
breeze to cool for a moment tlie perspiring brow.—
Yesterday was a scorcher, and those who could by
any possibility get away from the bricks nnd mortnr
did so. I took a stroll to that democratic bathing
place, Coney Island; for you must know that tlie
unfortunates who are deprived of the pleasure of bath
ing at Rockawny, Newport, &c., have the chance of
doing so nt the above place, where, I presume the wa
ter is equally beneficial and Invigorating, and tlto sand
1 know is as suit and velvety as at either of tho aris
tocratic resorts. Coney Island is some distance down
the buy, and is readied by steamboat from the city
iu about an hour. It is a wild, desolate place, with
out tlie slightest vegetation, and no appearance ol
any tiling green, except here und there a sickly weed
that has struggled through its gravelly bed. An im
mense canvass tent is erected near the landing, where
bud spirits, dam chowder and soup are dispensed;
nnd in its neighborhood are some wooden shanties,
where tlie peculiar refreshments of the place may be
obtained. The only way of traversing tlje Island is
over plunk paths, which bridge it from the pier to
the tent, und thence to the shore, where a row of rude
dressing l ooms aro erected for those who desire to
bathe, lor the use of which nnd u dress twenty-five
cents aro charged. A more delightful place for bath
ing cun scurccly lie imagined; for tlie surf is not so
high us ut ltockawuy, Newport und Cape Alay, so that
the opportunities fo$>wiinining ure better, and bath
ers cun venture out with safety to any dep' i they
please, ulwuys supposing that tin y are sure-footed
unil strong enough to resist the undercurrent.
It is to be regretted thut, with the tine opportuni
ties for enjoying a cool trip and u refreshing bath
presented at Coney Island, the respectable portion of
the community lire deprived of them; for the place
und tlie boats aro almost exclusively possessed by
courtezans, blacklegs, fancy and fighting men, and
the scenes presented ure of sucli u character ttot no
one would choose to tukeafetnulo lie lmd any reject,
for to be exposed to such associations As there is
nothing to restrain tlie abandoned creatures who re
sort there, not even a personal senso of shame, you
may imagine how gross their conduct frequently is.
It seems to mo neither just nor proper thut tlie pub
lie should bn driven from this place by such means,
but that tlie law with reference to nuisances should
be made to apply in such cases ns this.
Speaking of blacklegs reminds me that Green, tlie
Reformed Gambler, has formed an association in this
city for the suppression ol' gambling, it appears tlint
there are (1123 gambling-houses in this city, and by
tlie menus of secret agencies, he is to keep a register
of the visitors to such places—their names, business
and loss nightly—this to he exhibited publicly to
merchants nnd others ! Auxiliary associations are to
be formed iu other cities, aud if tlie plan he carried
out, it will do much, I think, to break up these dens.
The “ Old Gentleman ” is still in the tailors, and
only the law will drive him out, 1 believe. Yesterday
they attacked tho house of a Catholic priest, who, in
tlie kindness of his nature, procured some materials
from a tailor’s store, which he intended to get made
up by the poor aud distributed in his neighborhood,
who were afraid to go to the stores far work. It was
rumored lhat the Catholic Church was attacked, und
very soon there was such a mass ns excited Irishmen
alone can create A great many of these lawless fac
tious of men are now in limbo, and ure bound to
catch it.
Tlie Collector, Maxwell, has returned from tue
wreck nt Fire Island after recovering a large quanti
ty of the cargo, which he found iu the houses of about
forty of the inhabitants, against whom processes have
been issued, and they will no doubt be severely pun
ished. It is suspected that the missing bodies may
have been washed ashore, nnd, alter having been
Bti ipped by these pirates, secretly buried. Such con
duct is enough to make one ashamed of his species.
As I expected, Air. Forresthas denied that lie made
any professional engagement, mid states that he does
not desire to appear before the public This is the
first evidenco of sanity helms ev.nced for some time
past
There is to be a sort of procession got up on Fri
day to escort Gen. Pnez from the Buttery to the City

A deputation, civil nnd military, wait upon him at

cursions at the public expense.

Defeat of the Compromise Bill.
Air. Peaiice of Alarylnnd is held responsible by
Mr. Clay, and other friends of the measure for the
defeat of the Compromise Bill. A correspondent
of the Baltimore Sun, writing on the subject says :
If Mr. Pearce’s amendment had combined the mo
tion to strike out will the motion to insert the pro
viso proposed by him, tlifcre would have been some
basis to act upon. But in opposition to entreaty,
he separated the motions, and after getting New
Mexico out, it could not be reinstated.
The friends of the bill Jay the blame of its defeat
upon Air. Pearce. He would uot listen to any ex.
postulations, but took pucli a coifrse as to render de
feat inevitable. After New Alexico was out of the
bill, the whole scheme of course fell with a crash.
Mr. Dawson’s amendment might, with some care,
have been so modified as to effect the, object sought
by the Texan Senators, without implying anything
adverse to the rights of Texas. After the mischief
bad been done, Air. Underwood, who had co-opera
ted with Mr. Pearce, indicated apuode by which this
could lie done.
But though Mr. Pearce’s motion was, as Mr. Clay
said to day, tlie immediate cause of tlie defeat of the
bill, it hud in it seeds of dissolution. It was always
in danger from some quarter or another. It would
perhaps have broken down upon the question of re
ducing the boundaries of California. The American
people will learn with regret that the Senate, after so
protracted a struggle was obliged to abandon the effort
io settle all the disturbing questions.
The same writer says:—The Utali bill when it gets
to the House, will in my opinion, lie Wilmoted aud
will ofcourse, fail between tin: two Houses. The
Wilmot is not dead in llic House. It was
scotched by means of the otter oi'whnt was called “ the
President’s plan,” ant! the expectation of the success
of that, or the Senate compromise.
I do not know upon what grounds any expectation
is entertained of the passage of any bill adjusting tlie
Texan dispute, or providing menus for its adjustment,
and giving New Alexico the protection of civil gov
ernment. No bill can probably pass the Senate sep
arately, which could nut be passed conjointly with
other measures. ,
The question is a national one, to some.extent, and
the Southern extremities, the Northern anti-dnvery
men, tile two Texan Senators, and a few impracti-
eables in addition, will continue to form a majority in
opposition to any bill that can pass the House.
Tin? California bill is now up, and the proposition
to reduce tlie boundaries is likely to give much trou
ble. Georgia has bound herself to adopt measures
for resistance in case California is admitted with her
present boundaries, llutthc bill, some rime or other,
will purs tlie Senate, and if it pass the House without
a severe convulsion, it will be remarkable.

dent Fillmore has taken up Iris* residence on tlie
heights of Georgetown, nnd learh from the proceed
ings of tlie Senate on Monday thut it is on account of
the unhealthy condition of the. President’s House.
Mr. Clarke, in the course of his remarks said:—
• “It is well known to mnny of the Senators ns well
as the Committee on public Buildings, that there has
been very great danger to tho occupant* ofUmthouse
for some time past, in consequence of tlie want of
drainage. The cellars and lower part of the house
are in a very bud condition, and the illness of some oi'
its occupants has been attributed by seme to tlie mal
aria which rises from tlie lower pai r of the building.
The whole of the basement is now nt times absolutely
covered with water, anil is at all times, in so bad a
condition that it is totally unfit to he occupied even by
the domestics. This situation ofthc building is noth
ing iujw. It. was so when it was occupied tiy the pre
decessor of the hitq lamented President ”
After some further debate, a joint resolution was
reported to the Senate for a proper drainage ol' tho
grounds around the Executive mansion, and the re
pair ol the building; and no amendment having been
proposed, it was ordered to he engrossed for a~ third
reading.
