The following is an ektract from a speech, made by Archbishop IIoohes, at the late banquet given in honor of himself in Now fork. I have been rebuked by the public press, which knows nothing of me, for daring to speak against certain parties in Europe who aim at tho destruc tion of society there, aud who call themselves re formers of the social system. I have been called " to account, and because I could 'not sympathize with these men and their principles, forsooth, I have been told that I was no friend to freedom or liberty. . When men are imbued with the idea of destroying theft fellow men by every means and v this Is no celnmny; for it is avowed by themselves : can I do otherwise than denounce and condemn them'?. A little Incident will illustrate the char acter of this class. A traveler thjongh Europe has at times occasion, as every traveller lias, to go into barber'i simp," where in the course of conversation, upon politics he is told that there is . no freedom as things exist, that the government U not republican, that tUo true republic wliich will soon triumph dwells with this barber and his fellows, and that the "people" should come into '. power before perfect liberty can be established. "Ay yes,", says the traveller, "and when this , triumph comcaand you get the upper hand you , Will establish the gulletine." " "Oh no replies tie barber, , we shall have no , Jioedoftae eirilotine: it will not be necessary, 4m knives will do tho work." And while saying this he flourishes his razor most unpleasantly jibont the traveller's head. Now these are the feelings and this is the character of the men at the head of the so-called revolutionary move ments in Europe. - . ' It is h custom to identify the Priest with the . Altar, and to look upon the censure of a political ' v parson; as an attack upon the denomination to which he belongs. Wo shall, nevertheless, enter our protest against the doctrines of this pompous .and meddling aristocrat, in holy vestments. The ? certain parties in Europe"" of which. this Prelate speaks, aro the democrats of Europe, who are contending for the rights of man, aud elidcu- ' voring to bring reform into the musty despotisms ' cn the continent, in Church and State. We sub- rnit to the judgment of our readers, if the ridi , culous story about tho Barber, furnishes any proof j that these loaders desire to ' destroy their fellow ,. men by every mean." A long time ago, iierhaps Co, years, a similar occurrence happeued to the Duke of Wellington, then Marquis of Wesslcy, in the city of Ediuburg vith the additional cir- cumstance that tho Barber drew the bsek of his ,f razor across the nobleman's throat. No one saw in this circumstance thu desigu of tho Rcpubli :. cans of Scotland to " destroy their fellow men by . every means, " '. i - ? . We are pleased with the remarks of the New - .York Tribune on tills subjvet, and quote them ac ; , cordlnglyf ' ' ' ' "Where are thc-factson which a clergyman, in higu station, might presume to assert that the Democrat io leaders in Europe desire and intend to make their advent to power an era of promis cuous slaughter and anarchy 1 Where are the facta to preve that the " people," either in France " of Italy, are full of ferocity and bloodtbiretU , ' Bess, that when. their foes are in their hands they : will tear them in pieces like tigers, or cut them p like the Archbishop's barber 1 After the 24th of February, 1818, the revolu- -.' tlonists and the pccjile had (wsseuion of Paris " and of France; and they abolished tho gullotine for political ofenccs." t :,, " After tlio 1st of December, 1843, the revolu , tionisla and the people had possession of Rome . and its tersitoriea.

We make tho following extractfrom at Editori al in the Smdkem Standard, which shows that tho co-operation party are not disponed to put up patiently with the freo speaking of the immediate secessionists. We may obscrv here, however, that there is scarcely a shade of difference in tho seutinients of the people of South Carolina, ns to what should be tho position of the South, when' fully organized. "If calling oil those who differ from him, "submissionists," "cowards," and ' traitors" could establish a character for courage in a speaker, then Mr. Rhett's claim in that rcspuct may now be considered as beyond dispute. We have never heard an address which contained more of theso exceedingly tasteful and gentlemanly expressions. Mr. Rhott commenced by informing the audienco that the truce was at end, and indeed, if he had spared that information, a very few sentences would htfve satisfied them that it was so, as far as he was concerned. He expressed his gratifica tion that ho was now freo to fight the battle in bis own way, and ho promised victory, though ho at tlw same timo made very significant reference to a Roman General who, after his defeat, was congratulated upon saving a fragment of his army. But the truce is at an end, the civil war, a war of words, and those as hot as Are, lias commenced again. Mr. Rhett had taken his passage for Eu rope, but now he will not desert his State. "He will go to the Country and 'Will speak upon every hilr"vhcre he can get a Rpot of ground to stand upon 1 We sinterely hope that lie will. If his intemperate zeal makes as many converts to our cause in the country as it lias done in Charleston, the result will be most fortunate for the State." ' But Mr. Rhett candidly admitted that lie was wrong for once in his life. Ho says this contro versy is old, that it commenced in 1832, aud that the remedy then ought to have been secesbion. He said that the Union men were right and the nuliilers wrong. W: have thought that thoy were both wrong, and that Gov. Troup was right when he said the South should have united in the remedy. But Mr. Rhett admits that Ac was wrong then, and there are sundry hundred citiznns of the State who think he is decidedly so now.'' "We are howffver, obliged to Mr. Rhett for his magnanimity in one respect. He very condescen dingly grants permission to those who differ from him to leave the city, saying that he would pre fer to have the Spartan band of three hundred that would be left to a whole army of timid men who must prove traitors. We thank him for his polito invitation, but as Gen. Taylor said, we ' re spectfully decline" the proposal. .We do not ex actly see, by what right lie who lias never shown any pa rticular interest in the prosperity of our city, now invites us to leave it.to this Lcouidas aud Ms Spartans.. Probably -we are to have anew code on this subject. As he however, condition ally adopted the resolve of ' tho noble Russians" and is willing to make a Moscow of Charleston iu case the liberties of the St-ato require b, he may in such case make it too hot to hold us, but we think wo may safely promise that when- ho sets I his own house on firo ours shall share its fate. The Editor of the Columbia Tri weekly TcU grayh, among other matter of like character, has the following on the subject of the late co-operation meeting in Charleston: "Let the people of Sonth Carolina not bo de ceived. They should, and we believe they will, ' rise in the majesty of their strength and rebuke : this first glimmering in Chailcston of disloyalty : to the Statu. From every meeting of the people j iu the middle and up-country let it go back to the seaboard that there cau bo no tampering with treason in any guise whatever. We speak warmly, but we speak from, the heart, for we perceive that imminent danger to the best interests of Carolina is looming up on the horizon, and we cannot be silent when the portentous omens of a storm are before us, which may be ebbed of its fury ere it bursts upon us, but which will spread ruin and dismay if Dot averted by the prompt and overwhelming rebuke oi the patriotic masses of her citizens." At a meeting of the Cadets of the State Mili tary Academy, held ou the 30th of July, the fol lowing Resolutions were adopted: "1. Rfsdved, That whilst we disclaim all inten tion of presuming to counsel the peoplo of the 8tate as to the measures proper to be adopted in redressing the wrongs which have been indicted upon us, we earnestly hope that those who are to decide the question will not recede from the posl- tion of separate State tssloti.i'.,:.-.,.v.::-')'Vi "2. Refdwd, That owing allegiance to the Gene ral Government only through the State of South Carolina, we are absolved from that allegiance, tho moment she determines, to leave the Con federacy. " "3. Jtcsolced, That we are prepared to offer tip all we have and arc. upon the altar of liberty, whenever the hour for action comes, and that we will look with feelings of the deepest mortifica tion upon any act of our State that may tbe Influ enced by a dread of consequences." y These things shew that there is a prospect of great excitement befwectf the ( parties.. Indeed the language now used by both, is about as severe, as any in political controversy, ' j, j AURIVAL OF; TUB ! I 1 I ' 1 1 s 7 DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. Decline in Cottoti Breadstufls Lower, Ac.
