Consistency—Then, Now, and in

when it occurred and up to tho time tho Balti
more nomination was pending, and now sup
porting Breckinridge for the Presidency, we
will simply ask him to test the matter by the
conclusive proooss of a comparison of our po
sition as defined at that time with what it is
now. To enable him the more readily to do
it, wc will quote so much of an article in the

diately on the subject:
The next three week, will determine these Important
proposition,: Whether the acceding Stale, will adhere
to fbla position in all Ha strictness ? Whether, If tbe
Northern Democracy tender a sound non-intervention
m. like the New York or Tenneeeee resolutions,
sound man upon It, they wlU actually Inalat on
B ushing thia protective clanae to the point of dtornp-
on? If ao. It la our purpoee, and tbe purpoae of tbe
minority who took eepamte action at MRledgevIUe, to
take laeae with them and appeal to tbe people, solemnly
believing that there to no chance of maintaining tbe na
tional In tegri ty, except in praeerriiig, on a fair and equi
table bails, tbe only remafnlng National Party. We do
Intend, if that party give, na a fair candidate on a fair
non-intervention platform, according to tbe principles
set forth in the minority action In Mllledgcvllle, although
said platform does not embrace or call for Congressional
intervention and protection—we do intend, m inch a
case, to raise tbe banner of the National Democracy, and
make onr earnest appeal to tbe people of Georgia far tbe
ippoet of tbe National Ticket.
Uat we will make ao factions tight. We are for acting
with tbe united Democracy or ucurgla, un a common
ticket. If poaaible. If they wilt accept a eonnd nominee,
on a aound non-luterTcntioo platform, be tbe nominee
whom he may, wc will go with them heart and soul. If
tbe Baltimore Convention shall yield to their wtohee In
respect to protection, though wc shall regret tbe affirma
tion of tbe doctrine as likely to be a source of future
trouble, we will atm net heartily with them In support
of tbe ticket Onr object to aimplv and solely to avoid,
by any meant compatible with principle antf honor, the
ruin of the National Democratic Party—tbe catastrophe
of a mere sectional struggle, in which tbe weaker sec
tion must go to the wall, and the verdict of tbe ballot-
box leave no resort but tbe argument of farce and tbe
conflict of arms.
This we think will be sufficient to quiet the
charge of inconsistency as to principle* ; and
now in respect to that as to mm.
From 1836 up to this time, wc have been
steadily and consistently anti-Douglas. It is
true, that we did not sympathise in the effort
to prostrate him before Lincoln last year, and
cannot now understand how any nationkl dem
ocrat could do it But wc opposed the nomi
nation of Douglas in 1856 and again in 1860.
Not to tire the reader with old mites, wc will
take the few days immediately preceding the
session of the Charleston Convention, when
the newspapers were declaring their prefer
ences, and wc were anxious to contribute a
mite to the anti-Douglas opinion. In the Dai
ly Telegraph of the 14th April last the reader
will find an editorial article of nearly two col
umns, wherein wc labored to combat the views
day before presented by the Augusta Consti
tutionalist, that Mr. Douglas was the only
candidate that could be elected. After argu
ing at length the conditions of success, that
articlo declares as follows
So far then from being'tbe strongest men, it strike! ns
be (Douglas) to one or tbe weaken which tbe democracy
cen out forward. In the peculiar condition of things
which must beeuconntcrcd. If Black Repnbllcanlsmls
stronger now than In ISSfl. then we can only hope for
aecceaa by conciliating onuide strength, and foe that
purpose Mr. Douglas, it seems to ne, to singularly nna
va liable.
Who should be nominated 1 A Southern man, of fair
antecedents and good record, would. In onr Judgment,
do best. We believe be would do better in tbe North
than a Northern man. Nominate a man, first and fore
most, who cannot well be crippled In tbe South by a
third party movement, nunter, wc think, will do—
Uretidaridgc ought to be satisfactory—but any man of
fair standing and clean record will anewer. Next, a
Not them man of well known Constitutional antece
dents. But for the greet end of tbe campaign—tbie sln-
S utl-lrrepreislble conflict Issue—a Southern man, of
rrml Constitutional tone, will best meet the crisis—
will most conciliate outside strength, and If pnabed with
the energy and vigor worthy of the cause, will as surely
csnqulsb and prostrate Sewardlem as be makes tbe en
counter.
So also, the charge ofi nconsistcncy as to men
is groundless. '
llut we are indifferent about criminations of
this character. Five years hence let he who
can trace a straight record, cither in doctrines
or men, throw stones. \\c arc upon the line
of times, when crew to will make stem sport of
theories in shaping the course of men and the
destiny of States. The work of derangement
ind disorganisation is only begun,- ami hence
forward the line of principle is to be carried
ove r and through the wreck and ruins of nil
pau-t paUtlnr.l .ro.wlvmollmir * m»m. ~laej
straight work politicians will make of it A
consistent party and political record wherein
avery act of a man’s life is seen to have its uni
form bearing towardsthe building up of a part y
and its adherent,, is a thing of the past. It
oould exist only in a quiet and uniform tide of
political history. Its eras are to lie found ip
tbe struggles for conxtitntional construction tie-
tween the Federalists and the Republicans, and
upon the constitutionality of measures, between
the Democrats and the Whigs. Those doctri
nal contests are past and gone, and wo have
now substituted to our hands a mere struggle
for sectional power and predominance. The is
sues it will create are to lie met as they come—
the combinations it forms are to be counteracted
by combinations. This is party history' in' the
future, and no man can tell what is to spring
out of the confusion and chans. One thing
however, wc are sure, will not come of it. and
that is personal political consistency.
A NEW PRESCRIPTION.
The Savannah Republican, in ita concern for
the consistency of tho Telegraph, is neglecting
all care for its own. We could have taken our
"dftvy,” two davs ago, tluit the Republican was
at last loeat<A— that its own labored argu
ments for the extreme conservatism of Mr.
Everett, and extraordinary soundness of Mr.
Bell, had at least satisfied itnelf, and hence
forth nothing remained but a steady pull at
the tintinnabulum till election day. Not so.
The Republican is all afloat again. He cannot
stand by the Boll solus. In fact, lie proposes
to dispense with the Bell. He “feels it is nil
wrong.” It “ is a most injurious and unnatu
ral war" between the friends of Air. Bell and
those of Air. Breckinridge, and a compromise
must be effected. How? Saithhe:
Our plan is this: Let Breckinridge and
Lane both withdraw from the contest; let Mr.
Bell do IJbe Bamo thing, leaving Edward Ever
ett, the purest and best man of liis day and
generation, the compromise candidate for the
Vicc-Prcsidcncy. Then let a Southern Demo
crat head the ticket. We know but one who,
in all respects availability included, Is fitted
for the post, and that is Hon. James n. Ham
mond, of South Carolina."
Of course, tlie Republican lias a power of
attorney from the “Constitutional Union Par
ty” of tlie Republic to nullify their action at
Baltimore in favor of his "plan." But will
the Democratic Baltimore men acquiesce?
Pcrkaj* so. If they had no great respect for
the “plan ” they m’iglit have too much sym
pathy for the Republican to reject it. Who
knows? The "plan," then, would distinctly
embody the platform, which, you know, is
the “ Union, tho Constitution, and the enforce
ment of the laws.” 1st, "Tie C,iion"~-a
union between those who bnliove, villi Mr.
Ewictt, that Congress can rightlully and con-
siituiionally prohibit slavery in the Territories
and the District of Columbia, and the sale of
slaves from State to Slate—and those who, per
contra, believe with Mr. Hammond, that Con-
gress can constitutionally do no such things.

The grand matinee in honor of tlie Japanese'
at the Academy of Music, which I mentioned
in a former letter, went off with great eclat,
and no lives lost. Tlie building was crowded
to suffocation, presenting a sea of expansion
hoops and np»rkljng eyes, a garden perfum
ing thc air with the balm of a thoueand flower*,
a forest, the leaves of which were Japanese
fans, waved by gentle breezes, while “Tom
my” is being chirped by a thousand pretty
throats. The great feature of the performance
was thc grand Japanese March composed for
the occasion, and whielt was rendered with
tremendous effect, the three hundred violins,
teijprs, basses, and double basses, played up
on lielow the bridges, and for which one liarrc-1
of rosin was furnished, done tlicir part well,
with thc exception of a few' which appeared to
be a little out of pitch, the- wind instruments,
blown by the steam engine under the stage,
perfonne'd with great power, as also did the
organ of steam whistles, which in the fortu
passages was most admirable, but I. should re
commend thc engineer not to try the boiler
guage, during one or more bars rest in the
music, as it injures the effect. The 150 Chi
nese gongs with as many cymbols, ami 144
drums anu seventy-five potash kettles, which
wercintroduced in place of kcttlo drums, as
much more effective, were performed upon
with tlie greatest 'precision, and last but not
least, I would mention the trip-hammer from
tlie Novelty Work, which was one ofthe most
effective instruments in the orchestra. The
Embassy occupied thc proccnium boxes, and
uu» r —c„_oniy>. nnneared to make a greater
impression on them than anything that lias
been gotten up for them since their arrival.
The first note of the march given with the full
power Of this monster orchestra, opened wide
the eyes of the chief' Embassadors probably'
for the first tijne since they have been among
us, whilst it was noticed that the cues of ■
number of the Embassy, which usually rest
od the top of their heads like a coil of rope,
had become uncoiled and assumed a perpen
dicular position, pointing directly upward.—
The performance was a decided success and
does great credit to the management of the
Academy, of Alusie, as Well as to the composer
of the inarch and - conductor of the perfor
mance. Of course thc Japanese were.duly
impressed and delighted. ' ■

Frietul QlUby .'—The. Japanese leave us to

so, thc Gothamites have something to keep up
the excitement—something to lionize—some
thing to raise up this furore whicli seems to

great metropolis. Tlie telegraph will have given
you all the particulars of the arrival of this
great ship, aiid the incidents connected with
her trip, long before this missive will reach
you—so, it will not interest your readers for
me to describe these things, since you will
have given them tho full account.

gathering, in Brooklyn, as J passed by, and
found the excitement up to thc highcst'pitch..
It was a Lincoln and Hamlin ratification meet

large crowd of people were present, and the
assembly was constantly increased by acces

thc county, from New York and Jersey, and
Long Island. There were Hamlin Clubs and

Death ov the Right Reverend Aitciimsiinr
Blanc.—About’ noon yesterday, tlie Right
Reverend Archbishop Illanc breathed liis last,
at the Arehiepiscopal Residence, on Cliartivs-
street, near I'rsuiines. He died suddenly,
having been in apparently very good health a
quarter of an hour before lie expired. The
servants upon going after hearing his bell,
found him lying on his bed, evidently in a dying
condition.
Thc position in his church held by thc Most
Reverend gentleman was a sufficient indication
ofthe high esteem in which lie was held by
the Church, and in all his other relation lie was
honored highly aud well beloved.
Tho. deceased was a native of France -ind
came to thc United States when lie was 21 or
22 years of age; being then ordained a priest
Ilia ministry has been in Indiana, Mississip
pi and our own State. About thirty years agt
he was consecrated Bishop and sonic years sub
sequcntly was raised to thc dignity of Arch
bishop of this Ecclesiastical Province embrac
ing thc States of Louisiana, Alabama. Missis
sippi and Texas. Archbishop Blanc was about
64 years of age.—.V. O. Bulletin.
DirriccLTT Between Secular and Reli
gious Authorities.—A difficulty has arisen be
tween Archbishop Hughes and the authorities
of New York. It appears that the City inspec
tor addressed a notification to thc Archbishop
that the law passed in 1853, providing for the
registry of births, deaths and marriages, re
quired every clergyman to report all marriages
celebrated by him to the City inspector, under
a penalty of fifty dollars for refusing or neglect
ing so to <la The Archbishop, however, replied
by declining, “with the utmost res]>ect for all
human legal authority,” to fulfil the simple re
quirements of that law. He says that many ca
ses occur in which it is for the Catholic priest
to remedy privately thc evils which the corrup
tion of morals mav have entailed, and declare- , . . . — .
that while he, tlie’Archbishop, Is “quite ready ® r being towering
Cnr n or « fir, AM,1 ” ij i- not nrenared to “ ons of a kindly n
the shape of a ship, long before anything of the
ordinary craft around her was visible, except
their sails, untill finally loomed up in a mazy
outline the beautiful proportions of the gigantic
steamer. She was at this time lying broadside
to, exposing to thc best advantage her form
about half way between Sandy nook and thc
light ship, lieing on an obtuse angle to thc south
ward between tho two. and about fourteen miles
from the Narrows. A number of small boats—
for everything must now he considered small—
yatches and steamers were plying around her,
hut looked in tlio distance like c© many 4mtinu
live ants creeping busily around the carcass
a sleeping beetle. She was settled a little by
the stem, but at thc same time she was exposed
throughout her wholclcngth some three feet or
more of her cream colored bottom. She was at
this time drawing twenty-seven feet of water,
being lighter by about three thousand tons
than when she left Southampton. Steam was
emerging from three of her smoke-stacks, and
thc British ensign fluttered fioin her peak.
One of our largest steam tugs was moored
alongside, hut, in thc distance, the two black
bodies seemed so closely merged in one that
the latter was barely discernible. A broad
white streak running around the ship relieved
what would otherwise be monotony of color,
while two British bull dogs protruded their
black noses through as many port holes, ready
to thunder away their responses to her
hearty American ’welcome. Her general ap
pcarance, at tills moment, was like that of s
majestic yacht, and her fine lines, as thc tug
steamed around her in a circle of nearly
mile, were revealed to their best advantage.
It was only on coming alongside, however,
that one could appreciate thc magnitude of
the Leviathan. Here, looking up in thc wheel,
almost as largo as the dome of the capitol at
Washington, the beholder is lost in astonish
ment at the maze of iron ribs, plates, buckets,
wheels and machinery by which the ponderous
body is kept in motion. Faces are seen lining
the edge ofthe bulwarks, and the wheel house
is covered with tlie passengers and officers,
hut so far up in thc air tiiat they seem almost
like Lilliputians. The enthusiasm hs intense.
Cheer after cheer ■ resounds in tlie air, words
of greeting are exchanged between re-united
friends, and general good feeling prevails. How
could it be otherwise?. The Great Eastern
spoke for herself There she lay, almost in
consckms'inajesty, a brilliant success.-
We are now moored alongside, however, and
prepared to ascend, which wc do by a long sc
ries of wooden stairways, terminating on'thc
deck immediately afl of thc wheel house. As
we are going up, a voice from above says, “Are
all these gentlemen guests S” (There were about
fifty on Sic tug.) “Yes,” says some one be
hind its. “A hearty welcome, then, friends,"
returns a rough, honest voice, and, .strangers
as we are, we find, on reaching the “terra
firrna” of th^ship, a warm hand grasping our
own in warmer welcome. •• You’ve been a
long time coming,” says one.- “Well, we’ve
come along as fnst'as a long ship would bring
us.” “Yes,” says the first, “you couldn’t be
much longer, if you wanted to.” Leaving, the
punsters to their enjoyment, however, we drop
down Upon tlie deck, the huge broadwayof the
»mp, or miner a sortmr aquatic park, where a
man may ramble until lus legs are tired, and
yet not lmlf gratify an ordinary curiosity.
Away in the distance forward are the mcn at
work ; amidships, Capt. Vinchall, a thorough
specimen of thc English sailor, is urbanely re
ceiving the gentlemen who have just arrived,
while aft a small crowd of mingled strangers
and friends are straggling along in wonderment
at tlie novel scene around them. Questions
are asked and answered with tho greatest good
humor; interesting features are. pointed out;
incidents of the trip arc . rehearsed, and the
qualities pf thc great ship are discussed, as if
she was the veriest pet in the world.
-It is now about two o’.clock; the tide is at its-
height; and tlie moment lias arrived when thc
feet is-to he demonstrated whether or not the
Great Eastern can cross thc bar. Much'has
been said pro and con on the subject, and it is
quite natural that the liveliest interest should
prevail. The officers are all at tlicir stations—
one stands forward near tlie foremast l>y thc
gang, whioh is a part of tho system of commit
ideation from point to point; Capt. Vinchall
and Mr. Murphy, the New York pilot,-with his
associate, Mr. Van Duzcr, are on tlie wheel
housc, cool, calm and collected; the engineer
is at his station, looking down in thc huge
vault where revolves the massive machinery,
with a steadiness that would not draw thc at
tention Of even a blind man; an officer or two
arc on the narrow bridge amidships, at a wheel
which connects with the machinery for steering,
watching with the utmost care every motion of
the pilot, while eight helmsmen at the four
wheels connected with the steering apparatus
astern, taking their cue from him, guide the
ship on its course.
The order is finally given by Mr. Murphy,
under whose command the ship has now passed
to “Go ahead.” Thc engineer wares his linnd,
the offleo below repeats the order to those still
further below, and ina minute the great wheels
commence tlicir revolutions. The stupendous
fabric yiclife to tho mighty jiowcr within her
bowels, and, moving slowly on jts way, com
mences, as it were, a triumphal march townrds
tlie city. Gradually the point of. danger is
neared. The perilous bar is at bund. Speed
is accordingly slacked, and Mr. Murphy, from
his position, silently gives his orders. A sim
ple elevation or depression of the hand indi
cates to tlie helmsmen the course they are to
pursue, and the ship, under this skillful gui
dance, obeying her helm with almost thc read
iness of a sail boat, proceeds on her way.
A majority of thc people are meanwhile cir
culating through tho various apartments of tiio
ship, as they would through one of our magnif
icent hotels," bestowing hardly a thought upon
the event immediately transpiring around them,
which is uppermost in the minds of a few. In
fact, most of them' arc unacquainted with the
exact locality of the danger, and probably won
der at the slow pace with which they are creep
ing along. Once, it is said, the noble vessel
barely touched bottom, but tin’s is uncertain;
and as the point of contact was nearly a quar
ter of a mile away, few troubled themselves a-
bont nn incident which required so much travel
to investigate. Among those cognizant of the
tact, it was gencrallv agreed that the discolored
water which marked the spot was only the stir
ring up of tlie great deep by her screw.
At aboot three o’clock the company sat down
to an elegant repast, to whicli, with freshened
appetites they did full justice^ It was a genu
ine, hearty English meal, such an ono as an
individual who has had a sea breeze in his com
position for six or eight hours is most likely to
give his undivided attention. Choice wines ac
companied the repast which were partaken of
with that moderation which always marks a
party of gentlemen; and at an opportune mo
ment thc cloth was removed and they were made
one of tlie medium for exchanging the kind feel
ings which prevailed.
Passing Fort Lafayette, a salute was fired, j
whicli was promptly responded to from the four •
guns of the Great Eastern, and from this time j
hie, increased. Hundreds of little' craft shot
out into the stream and fell in the wake of the
Great Eastern. Looking down from her forctop
—an elevation almost equal to that of the tallest
ordinary mast—it seemed almost a fairy spec
tacle. Below, was the beautiful outline of the
largest steamer in the world, gliding so majes
tically and quietly through the water that her
motion was hardly perceptible, while behind, as
far as the eye could reach—commencing with
a few fast steamers at the stern—spread out the
escort in thc shape of an immense fan, every
fold of which was quivering with beautiful fife.
When nearly ofl’ the Battery, the chimes of
Trinity Church were heard across the water,
playing “Rule Britannia.’’ Salutes were fired
from all thc steamers in port, not excepting, of
course, the Cunardcrs at Jersey City, which on
the present occasion did extra honors.
Shortly after, Capt. France, of tlie revenue
cutter Harriet Lane, came on board, accompan
ied by Collector Schell, Baron Rothschild, Au
gust Belmont, First Assist’t Collector Ira Todd;
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Mr. Clay
ton ; Mr. A. Isaacs, and others, with whom the
customary civilities were exchanged.

up tbe North River as far as Forty-fifth street,
but (he distance was hardly perceptible. Here,
after some difficulty, she was turned and headed
downstream for her dock, where, contrary to
general expectation, she was at once moored.
Thc manner in which this was donc reflects the
highest credit upon Mr. Murphy, the pilot, and
the reader can appreciate the daring of the un
dertaking on being informed that the immense
ship was carried alongside by him to the no
small astonishment of every person on hoard,
including the officers, with as much case appa
rently as he would handle his own pilot boat,
governed alone by her own impetus and without
the aid of a single friendly hawser from a steam
tug. Here she was made to touch the dock in
a gentle way, clipping off only a splinter, com
paratively, as she came alongside; hawsers were
got out, the passengers’ luggage was inspected
and remove-1, good bye was said all around, the
company departed for tlicir respective destina
tions, and the Great Eastern quietly settled her
self fora two months’ rest.
Broadway-, New York.—Tin's thoroughfare,
which has already a world-wide renown for its
magnificent specimens of architecture, is every
day becoming more attractive, by the addition
of new marble palaces. Among the more
splendid structures of this kind Ls one on the
corner ot Broadway and White street, just

and highly esteemed firm of Edward Lambert

THE SYMPATHIZING WOMAN.
If we were called upon to describe Mrs.
Dobbs, wc should,' without hesitation, call her
a sympathizing womn u. Nobody was troubled
with any malady she hadn't suffered.
She knew all about it by experience, and
could sympathize with them from the bottom
of her heart.’ -
Bob Turner was a wag, and when one day
he saw Mrs. Dobbs coming along the road to
wards the house, he knew that, in the absence
of his wife, he should be called upon to en
tertain her, sO he resolved to play a little on
thc good woman’s abundant store of sympa
thy.
Hastily procuring a large blanket, he wrap
] >od himself up in it, and threw himself on a so-
I a near by.
‘Why good gracious!-Mr. Turner, ore you
'sick ?’ asked Mrs. Dobbs, as she saw his posi
tion.
“Oh! drisadfullv,’ groaned lhc imaginary in
valid. . ' -—
•What’s the matter?’
•Oh! a great many tilings. First and fore
most, I’ve got a congestion of the brain.’
•That’s dreadful,’ sighed Mrs. Dobbs. I came
very near dying of it- ten years to come next
spring. What else ?’
’Dropsy,’ again roared Boh.
‘There I can sympathize with you. I was
troubled with it, but finally got over it.’
■Neuralgia,’ Continued Boh.
‘Nobody- can toll, Mr. Turner, yvliat I’ve
suffered from neuralgia. It's at) awful com
plaint.’.
‘Then again I’m very much distressed by in
flammation of the boyvcls.’
If you’ve got' that, I pity you,’ commented
Mrs. Dobbs; *for three Tears steady'I was
afflicted with it.'aml 4 don’t think I’ve fully re
covered yet.’ ’
Rheumatism,' added Boh.
Yes, that’s pretty likely to go along yvith
neuralgia. It.did with .me.’
‘Toothache,’ suggested Boh.
There have been times, Mr.. Turner,’ said
the sympathizing woman, ‘when I thought I
shoufd have gone distracted yvith tlie tooth
ache.’
•Then,’ said Boh, yvho having U iii|«jrarily
run out his stook of medical terms, resorted to
scientific name. "I’m very much afraid that
I’ve got the tethyasaurus!’
‘I shouldn't be at all surprise,’ said thc ev
er ready Mrs.. Dobbs; ‘I had it yylicn I was
young,’’
Though It yvas with great difficulty that lie
could resist laughing, Bob continued:
'I am suffering a good deal from a sprained
ankle.”
Then . vop can sympathize yrith me, Mr.
Turner. *T sprained mine when T was coming
along.’.
But that isn't tlie yvorst of it'

pieces, leisurely, noted everything that was
yvorthy of being seen, and then made his exit,
without any interruption-, till he was just out,
when some one remonstrated with him, on
finding that he had no proper autliority for bis
researches. He has a perfect knowlodge of the
