Character and Influence of the Whig Party Press. ‘We give on the first page of this day’s paper, two articles taken frem the leading organs of the recent whig party in this city, which present ano- ther forcible illustration of the inconsistency, in- congtuity, and general impotence of the whig party press. As to the question discussed in these arti- cles itself, aud oa which such diametrically oppo- site sides are taken by the prints in question, we do not, at present, mean to enter upon it, norto Teview the arguments offered by the respective disputants. Our views on the annexation of Tex- as are wellknown. They have been again and again presented toour readers. But we have taken up this instance of disagreement between the lead- ing journals of the whigs in this city, as afferding a curious example of the utter disorganization produced in the ranks of that party, by the in- strumentality of its newspaper editors. Here we have the edifying spectacle of one of the acknowledged organs of this party taking ground on the Texas question, apparently with the view of affecting an alliance with the abolitionists or “liberty party” in the north, whilst another or- gan takes a directly opposite course, and labors with might and main to counteract the operations of its feliow laborer in the whig cause; and this ata time wheu the common sense of the most ordinary mind discuvers that the only chance for an effec- tive re-organization of the defeated and scattered whig forces is to be looked for in the exercise of the greatest possible discretion, universal union, and a careful avoidance of the slightest contact with dangerous and uncertain elements. But the truth is, their newspaper press has uni- formly been the greatest enemy of the whig party. A more reckless, unprincipled, obstinate, and ig- norant set of men than the majority of those who have had for many years past, the management and control of the whig press of this country, probably never existed. They have been generally men who have represented particular cliques, ready at any timetoadopt the most inconsistent and dange Tous course, so faras respected the great interestsof the party to which they were professedly attached, in order to advance the paltry and short-sighted policy of a few individuals. Ia this respect, the whig journals certainly contrast unfavorably with the organsofthedemocracy Inthe management of the democratic journals there has, heaven knows, been abundant room for animadversion—but, gene- rally speaking, they stick pretty well together, and have in the main labored with consistency and union for all the measures of the party. But the case has been very different with the whig jour. nals. On several of the great issues, on which the conflict between the two dominant factions of the party has been fought, they have, againand again, presented notable illustrations of the parable of the “house divid@d against itself.” What has been the consequence? Disunion, disorganization, and weakness in the ranks of the party have followed 3a matter of course. Thus we have seen one portion of the whig press courting the abolitionists, and another portion at the same time denouncing them in the most unmeasured terms—one portion adopting the shibboleth of “nativeism,” and ano- ther portion loading it with all sorts of anathema There has been an utter want of steady, honest, upright principle in the management of whig jour- nalism. It has been the mere tool in the hands of innumerable petty cliques, and scheming local 1n- fluences. What moral influence could such a press possess? How could it preve other thana curse to the party which it pretended to serve? In one thing only has the whig press been consis- tent. It has been uniformly faithful to the great business of abuse and vituperation. In this devo- tion to the chief work of partizanship it has been tolerably well-matched by the democratic journals. Our readers will recollect the exposé which we made, during the course of last summer, of the li- centiousness of the party press of all denomina- tions. The scurillity—the indecencies—the false- hoods—the forgeries—the reckless and outrageous violation of all the rules of civilized society, of which we convicted these whig journals—excited the disgust of a'l the intelligent friends of public morality and respectable journalism. The expo- sure was not without itseflect. This was seen in the utter want of confidence in the statements of these party prints, which a great portion of the community afterwards discovered when the re- turns of the elections began to be received. It was notorious that by great numbers none of the accounts inthe “extras” of the whig or locofoco journals were received as accurate, until they as- certained that the statements were corroborated by the independent press. The eyes of many intelligent whigs are now be- ginning to open to the truth that the recent defeat of the party may, in a great measure, be attributed to the violence, the folly, the stupidity and the ignorance of their own newspapers. In the com- mencement of the campaign, these prints misled the people by the most vociferous assurances that the election ot Mr. Clay was absolutely certain— there was no possibility of any party defeating the illustrious statesman of the West. Immense num- bers we.e thus misled, and flattered into a ruinous security and inactivity. We all recollect the ef- fect of this incessant and universal declamation on the part of the whig press. Instead of going into the field and exerting all their energies for the purpose of securing the triumph of their favorite ‘Harry of the Weat,” the poor whigs, deceived by their silly newspaper editors, be gan to build splendid carriages to’ convey Mr. Clsy to Washington ; they already saw him in the White House, had the “spoils” already par- celled out 1n lots to suit the numerous customers, and quietly resigned themselves to happy and com- fortable ease. We saw the insanity of this con duct. We endeavored to alarm the slumbering whigs. We told them it was no time to sleep. We warned them of their danger. But what fol- lowed? Why this very whig press came out in a perfect paroxysm of fury and denounced us as *locofoco”—as “bought by the locufocos”—as the enemy of the whigs! And so it was through out the whole contest. We told the whole truth. We pointed out the weak places in the whig lines. We cautioned them against meddling with the abolitionists. We pre- dicted the evil results likely to follow from the foolish course adopted by many of the whig leaders and orators. Again we were assajled and abused by the whig journals. The result has put all par- ties in\the true light. Not a view which we ad- vanced—not a warning which we uttered—not an advice which we tendered, that has not been shown to have been just, and wise, and well-meant. And yet, for all this, the corrupt, unfaithful aad stupid whig presses abused us and applied to us every epithet of vituperation which they couid se- lect from their voluminous store of biackguardiem. We repeat, it was the whig prees that was main ly instrumental in defeating Mr. Clay. And Mr Clay knows it, All intelligent woigs kaow it ~ The whig press is not the representative of the whig party, It is the representative of an hundred Petty cliques. It ie the tool of paltry coteries scat. tered all over the country. It has no united force. Tt hasno general aim. It has no fidelity to one great harmonious system of principles. We want no better illustrations of its incongruity —ot its recklessnese—cf its inconsistency—of its weak- ness—of its power of working mischief to the whig cause, than those which are presented in the whig journals of the city of New York—in the Express, with its twaddling insipidity—in the New York American, with ita eternal dullness—in the Tribwne, with its Fourieriem and Abolitioniem, and in the Courier and Enquirer, with its columns ever open “for a consideration,” to any clique, from the magnificent sharpers of a United States Bank down to the loafing blacklegs who have staked a fifty dollar bill on the result of a State election. ‘Texas Affairs. Our latest dates from Galveston are to the 16th instant. We have before given copious details ot the news which exhibited the condition of the country. No fears were felt of an invasion from Mexico, and the people were patiently awaiting the action of this country. It was reported that Engiand and France had made overtures to Mexi- co to acknowledge the independence of Texas provided the latter would renounce all intentions to unite with this country. We shall, however, soon see how the waters move in that quarter on this point. It is expected that President Tyler will agitate the matter at once. Annexed are furtherimportant extracts from late Texas papers. The following statements are said to have been made semi-ofticially. All goods and merchandise introduced through the Sabine irontier from the United States into Texas, pay no duties to the Texian government, for the reaaon that the people have unanimously decided not to pay. Three- fourths of all the cotton brought to the banks of the Red River for shipment trom Eastern Texas to New Orleai pss as cotton of the growth of the United States, T consequence is that neither the commercial statistics of Texas nor of the United States show the amount of this reciprocal commerce ; and so far as the imports from the United States are concerned—and wh ch are believed to be equal to the exports—the whole amount has to be added to the commercial ‘istics of Texas, av gathered from the import duties collected at the Texas ports on the Gulf of Mexice. The counties named below are believed to have grown and exported to the United States within Inside year, the following number of bales of cotton, to wit : Jefferson and Jasper, 6,000 bales; Sabine, 6 000 do; San Augustine, 8000 do; Nacogdoches, 8,000 do; Shelby, 8,000 do; Harrison, 8 000 do; Bowie, » 000 do; Red River, 10,1000 do—Total 60,000. 60 000 bales of cotton at $40— $2,400,000 as the value of the exporta of Eastern Texas alone. The imports from the United States into Eastern Texas, will equal, if not exceed the exports.” Mextco.— Advices from Vera Cruz to the 2d inst. are the latest wehave received. There are reports of a revolution in the interior, headed by Arista ; and further, that he had an army of 17,000, and was marching rapidly towards the city of Mexico. In that city, the elements appear to be against Santa Anna, especially in Congress; our next news from that country will, therefore, be of an impor- tant character. Canapa.—We may now expect some interesting news from Canada. Affaire in that province are approaching a crisis. All, therefore,look for the opening speech of the Governor General before the new parliament, with great interest. Sir Charles Metcalfe having only a small majority in his favor, has a difficult job before him to keep the different factions in order. M. M. Noa anv THE “ResTORATION” AGaIn.— Poor old Major Nouh is out again with his grand project for the restoration of the scattered tribes of Israel to their ancient heritage, the land of Pa- lestine. He has procured a number of signatures to a card requesting him to repeat his lecture, and announces his intentionto hold forth egain at the Tubernacle on Monday evening next As the taste for theatricals has recently revived go much, we are inclined to think that a renewal of the grand Island project would be likely to command more success than the common-place scheme of lecturing at the Taberaac'e. The Major tres so hard that it is really a pity that he cannot do better in gaining the favor of the obstinate and stupid pub- lie. Pattapetenta Crry Government.—The effort to obtain a consolidation of the municipal govern- ment of Philadelphia increases in strength. We perceive that some opposition is offered by a por- tion of the press of that city, on the ground that the contemplated reform would increase the power of one political party to a dangerous extent. This is quite absurd. Nothing canrender Philadelphia se- cure from future insurrection but a consolidation of its municipal government. We trust that the mea- sure will %e brought before the Legislature of Pennsylvania at the earliest possible period, and carried at once. Iranian Opzra.—There was a very fine house last night, and some of the loveliest women we have ever seen at any place of amusement in the city, occupied the dregs circle. The opera Lwucre- gia Borgia went off delightfully. The charming Borghese never sung or acted better. Her duo with Valtellina ‘ Soli noi siamo,” was finely sung, but her most effective piece was the solo part in the dying scene, “Ah di pui non dimander.” This was brilliantly given, and it drew down that kind of applause which an artists delight in. Her con- ception of the part is perfect, and as to her acting there is nothing fineron any stage. Her sepulchral (for it was not human) cry to Gennaro, ‘‘Un Bor- gia Sei,” when he is about to stab her, was very fine; and her last scene with him after he has taken the poison, and she finds there is no hope for his life, was replete with dramatic beauties, and when at last he dies, her son—the only being for whom she cares to live—the scene is really ter- rific, heightened to the very pitch of intensity by the rapidity with which her death follows that of her son. “« Still as the breathless interval Between the flash and thunder.” She puts her ear to the heart of her son to satis- fy herself ot the dreadful reality; she gives one cry, but itis the cry of agonising despair ‘‘E spento” and falls. Her death was now wonderfully effective,wor- thy of Malibran or Charles Kean. It had such an effect on the audience, that for a few eeconds after her fall, there was a dead silence , the excitement was too deep for utterance, but fioding it was not all reality, they burst forth ina deafening round of applause. Signora Pico appeared to as much advantage as ever in the character of Orsini. She sang so re- markably well throughout, that it is difficult to se- lect any particular piece where all was well; how- ever, if a choice must be made, we think the pas- sage where she tells Borgia “Maffio Orsini Signo- ra Son’ io,” may be selected ae the finest.” Her drinking song ‘‘Il Segreto per esser felivi,” called forth well-merited applause. She is evidently a growing favorite with the pnblic. Valtellina opened his solo “E l’ultim’ alba,” mag- nificently, and the house wrung with applause, showing a most judicious appreciation of his talent, for he never sang better. We do not think Perozzi received his fair share of applause, for he sang uncommonly well. He exhibited more than usual fire Iast night, and he acted better than we ever recollect to have seen him ; to die well is one of the most difficult pieces of acting on the stage—most men who attempt it look anything but like dying men, yet Perozzi yielded up the ghost most admirably. His last words “‘ madre—io— moro,” appeared to hang on his lips as the last flatter of life left its earthly abode. Belisariois announced for Monday night. Aantvats.--Hon. T. J. Patterson, of Roches ter; Hon C, Rogers, of W gion; Hon. J Brinkerhooff and lady, of Ohio, and Senator 8. 8. Phelps, of Vermont, are at Howard’s Hotel, The Hon. Zadock Pratt, of Prattaville, is at the Oity Hotel. berty. At seven o’clock last evening a large and select number of the friends of the Pohsh refugees and Polish freedom, met in the lecture-room of the Stuyvesant lnstitute, to ce'ebrate the hervic at- tempt of the Polish patriots, on the 29:h of Novem- ber, 1830, to overthrow the oppression of the northe ern despot. A pleasing spirit of vivacity and cheer- fulness seemed to prevail throughout the throng, which completely filled the apartment—just such 4 spirit as should ever be associated with the com- memoration of the achievements of brave men, and of the attempts of those who venture their last stake in the cause of humanity—in the cause of the world. It was cheering to see that the men. tion of the wrongs of Poland was responded to by such a gratifying demostration. A large proportion of those present were ladies, whose presence improved the appearance, and lent additional zest to the proceedings of the meeting. Upon every hand was observable the most com- plete anxiety to hear the cause of Poland pleaded, and the responses to the soul-stirring sentiments that found eloquent expression from the lips of the several orators in the course of the evening. Behind the speaker hung the flag of Poland, and that used by the Scandinavian Society of this city— representing the three Northern Na'ions of Europe, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway ; whilst in juxta- position with these, were aupleyed the ample and protecting folds of the National Standard of the United States. No other decorations were dis- played. Amongst those present were included a large number of French, Italian, and German citizens, with a due quota_from the ceuntries above mentioned, and other European States, _ As soon as the crowds had ceased to pour into the room—at the request of the Committee, | Tueepore Sevawick, Esq., took the chair, and proceeded to open the business of the assembly. He observed, that they had met to celebrate a memora- ble event, the Polish Revolution, of the 29th November, 1830. He could have wished that the chair had been oc- cupied, ax they expected, by the Hon. Albert Gallatin, the state of whose health does not permit him to attend, and from whom the letter which he should read to them was received. Mr. Sedgwick here read a very brief communica tion from Mr. Gallatin, eurmeing the strong §; pathy he then and ever had felt for the se ot suf. fering Poland—and assuring the meeting that he both felt the honor intended for him in the invitation to preside there, and the purity and excellence of the cause which called forth that public manifestation of feeling Such (the spesker said) were aud should be th nti- ments of every true American heart ; for there was no American but must sympathize with those who had not only bravely battled for their homes and their altars, but who had lent their full quota of blood to achieve the in- dependence of these States. It was, above all others, the duty of Americans to bring the matter home to their breasts ; tor theirs was the only country on the broad face of the earth where a man could sit down and say— “Here I am safe.” He would repeat that it was the only spot. In Imperial Rome, it was of old the boast of despo- tigm that a man obnoqious thereto could not escape unicss hecrossed the great rivers that served as boundaries of her dominions. It was far different now. There were means of escape from tyranny, and as long as this coun- try existed, an asylum for the fugitive. In connection with this subject, Mr. 8. alluded to the case of Mr. Mazzi- ni, who fled for political offences to France, thence to England. He should be the last persun (the speaker said) to speak unkindly of* England—for, to use the lan- gunge of lawyers, he might say that he was almost a ten- ant by the courtesy of her soil—but they had seen last year in the case of this gentleman how a fugitive from Eu- topean despotism could screen himselt there. He fled to France, was hunted outf it ; he fled te England, where in a very short time he ascertained by certain means that be was under the surveillance of authority ; that bis letters were regularly opened at the Post office, aud when by a series of ingenious experiments he found that such was the case, and wien it ‘vas openly proclaimed in Par- liament—not only all those who supported the min- istry, but also the leading men of both of the great parties justified the presdure. He was not there to inveigh against that system; there might be sys- tems of espionage like that of Fouche required there; butfhe would say that such a country, that tolerated and sustained such system's, had but imperfect notions of freedom snd free institutions (Cheers) It was a mockery to cull that a free government which was based upon the common principle of forgery and larceny. Here there might be lapis faults—there might be men in public lifertoo little scrupulous—there might be tem: porary excesses concomitanton their untrammelled liber- ty, but tuey had what no other country under heaven possessed, a great, a free, and an equal people. (Ap- plause.) When their hearta were festered by the exist- the vices beheld in great cities, they could go nd the limits of the urban pepulation and they would reat people cultivating with theirown hands the y_ won, and who bend the knee to none save Gad alone. That was a people who could and did feel deepl for those engaged ina conflict such as that in whi they had succveded. They had showed asympathy with toiling freemen at ali times and on all occasions. They hud done so at the period of the French revolution—af the revolution in Poland, and when the venerable Lafayette revisited their shores some time ago—(Cheers)—Nor war thata blind sympathy. It waa a sure expectation. ‘Time in that case was not the essence of the contract. Free dom, though baffled oft, is ever won. It must and will surely come. Mr. 8. here alluded to the death of Syd- ney as related in English history, showing that it did nat prevent the last of the Stuarts to sleep in a foreign grave. The same cause wos still at work as when the Poles arose fourteen years ago. Their duty was plain in the matter ; they must keep the torch lighted— the standard elevated. In supporting the only free gov- ernment in the world, they provided a refuge for the tugi- tive anda home for the oppressed. They migkt hope, too, that when the struggle came in Europe—as come it must—that it will not be enacted in blood. He had not entered into the details of the Polish Revolution, becanse others there were there who could do it. Citizens of these States, alter all, were, inthis case, but the carpet knights of liberty—but there (pointing to the Poles pre- sent) are its martyrs. (Applause.) Mr. 8, ended ina few nounced word mor who addressed the houge in the Scla- vonic tongue, with apparent fluency. Mr. Statixsecat, Secretary of the Scandinavian So- ciety, made a good speech in Eng ish, which it would be : pity to spoil by abbreviation ; we therefore must omit At the conclusion of this speech,a youne lad, who was introduced as a young German gentleman, entertained the audience with a very creditable musical morceau on the violin. This is no place to criticise—but it is quite in place to remark, that he elicited much approbation, and was warmly applauded. - Dr Vaan made a beautiful address in soft Italian, one eloquent eppeal on the subject of persecuted Po- lend. The Chairmen then introduced Dr. Wierzeicxt, who entered into a lengthened and rate review of the early history of Poland. Her civi- ion, political freedom, her literature ani the state of arts and science: pon bove all,ipon enlightened America. Mr. Harrow Haxaina, in German, Mr. Ginarp, in French, also spoke. The speech of ‘the latter gentler was full of sparkling thonghts, vivacity and energy. We are compelled to exclude his remarks, of which our re porter made a precis, for want of room. ‘The meeting separated at nearly 10 o'clock, all evi- dently well satisfied with the Polish celebration of 1844. Theatricals, Ma. Puiturs’ Coneent Last Evenina.—The Saloon at Niblo’s was pretty well filled with beauty and fashion, to hear this unrivalled vocalist. He was in as fine voice as ever we heard him, and most of his songs were received with great approbation, particularly in his new song “ My Little Mary Ann.” It is to be regretted that he so soon leaves this country, but it is hoped not without again having the opportunity of hearing a few more of his songs. His success here has not been commensurate with his merits as a vocalist. Mr. Phillips is one of the best singers of the best English school, and his want of success such as he merits, argfles any thing but compli mentary to the taste and power of appreciation of our people. Atthe conclusion of bis performance last eve- ning, this gentleman announced that he was about to pro ceed tothe South, afterwards in the spring he would ap- pear at the theatres in this and other cities of the North. Mr. Brougham took a benefit and made his last appear- ance, in two plays of his own, an‘ with other attractions, atthe Chathum, iast° evening. His “ Macready” in the burletta was alone worth a visit to the theatre, even on a lowering night, as this was.

Village of Columbia—Mr. Polk's Early Life—His Habits and Personal Ap- pearance. To tue Enitor or THE New York Heratp— Dear Sir :— As it is now settled by the sovereign people, from whose decision there is no appeal, that Gov. Polk is to be, for four years, President of the United States, every thing relating to his locale, assumes interest among his numerous constituents. Having paid a flying visit to Columbia, I em- braced the opportunity of taking a rough sketch of his residence, in connection with a view of other conspicuous buildings. Polk’s private dwelling, a plain and unpretending, but commodious cottage, one stcry high, with a handsome portico standing out in the centre. The house is built of wood, neatly painted of a white color, with green venitian window blinds. It is situated at a little distance from the street in the midst of shady trees, and flowering shrubbery, planted with taste and skiil, The ground on which the house stands is slightly. elevated.

He ig an energetic, for. cible, and even a powerful speaker, when aroused In his mauners aod private intercouree he is polite and wffuble, and easy without affectation, plain and unaffected in bis dregs, and rather retiring and modest in his general deportment, but firm and en- ergetic when placed in a responsible public office He carries a clear and prudent head, and possesses amind of an investigating and penetrating charac- ter. He is, upon the whole, a man greatly unde; rated by his opponents, and not fully known or ap- preciated by his political friends. i In person Mr, Poik ia thin and light built, and stands about 5 feet 8 inchesin his shoes. You would know him were you to meet him, by some of the best lithographic likenesses published during the campaign, a remarkably fine one having been executed in Nashville and sent to New York. The broad, lofty, massive forehead—the tull, bright and expressive blue eyes—the finely cut and compress ed lips, all indicate the intellect, calmness, benevo- lence and firmness which characterize the man. Mrs. Polk, bis lady, is one of the finest looking and most gracetul and accomplished women in the United states. She is a native of Rutherford County, Middle Tennessee, having sprung from a highly respectable family residing near Murires- horo, in said county. She has evidently enjoyed fine opportunities of education, and has improved them, She has a correct and refined musical taste and performs well on the piano. She 1s a member of the Presbyterian church, but is no sectarian, being distinguished for her kind and tolerant senti- ments towards all who differ trom her in religious opinion. She is much beloved and respected by all parties in politics and all sects in religion.— When Mr. Polk resided in Nashville, as governor of the State, her scciety was as much courted and sought atter by the whigs as by the democrats. She has a fiae figure, about the middie height, and her features are remarkably mild, regular and ex- pressive. She appears te be not above thirty years of age. She will preside at the White House, I have no doubt, with distinguished honor and suc- cess. Col. Polk and his lady are without children. To say Col. Polk's whole private lite is withou: reproaeh-not only unimpeached but unimpeach- able—is payin no more than what 1s known and admitted by all in Tennessee, to whom he is per- sonally known. It is too e rly to culate about the composition of his cabinet, or the character of his future administration. Such speculations, at present, are idle, and can be indulged in at the East as wellas atthe West. He is, however, a young President, the head of the Kibo | democracy, liberal and practical in hi+ views and wishes Hie will, I have little donbt, go for cheap postage—a liberal commercial pelicy—« cheap land sale system, with strict accountability and economy in the administration of every de- partment of goveroment—stiong for annexation and Oregon—and dead set against a National Bank, the distribution of the proceeds of the public lands among the States, and the tariff of '42, aa it is. Hurrah for the young democracy | Yours, very trnly, Papieninaron, Avorure Bonevary. Clark, in Smith street, Brooklyn, was entered on Thursday night and robbed. Scarcely @ night passes that one or more houses are not burglarious- ly entered in this city. It seems that thieves enter the dwellings through the basement windows in bright moonlight nights, and carry off what they please without detection. Considerable noise is made by these rascals, yet no watchmen hear them. It is time, we should think, that some new night police was established to save the property of our citizens. Impunityin burglary has existed too long.

Ithas been most extensively recommended and used by physi- cians in their practice, and the beneficial resuits in thousands of cases have been attested on the most respectable authority. “Pennsylvania State Stock. Puitapecruia, Nov. 28, 1844. James Goxpon Bennerr, Esq :—_ A story has been put in circulation here, as well asin New York, that the interest will be paid wholly, or in part, on the Pennsylvania loans, in February next. fo the face of this, not a bank nor capitalist in this city will loan fifty onthem. In this pinch, the stock brokers have come forward very wsly and loan sixty on them. The poor speculator, finding his resources suddenly increa- sed, just as he thought himselt driven to the wall, foolishly rushes iuto the market and buys more ; instead of wisely taking a hint, and selling out. Every dealer should beware, when brokers loan more money on a stock than any capitalist willdo. These brokers immediately turn round, and sell this stock in the market, under a firm belief that it will rapidly fall to a point when the account will be equared between them and the poor speculators. It is singular, tco, that the bulls and bears are both playing, the same game with Pennsylvania loans. The bulls go for high prices, to get out in time; and the bears go for high prices, to sell short for a fall. ‘ Hae i The brokers will tell you this is a panic article— and the people, unfortunately, believe every writer on this subject isa stock jobber ; but I think Ishall soon satisfy the incredulous, that the sequel of that drama is rapidly approaching which opened with the fall of the United States Bank, and wiil close with some movements as respects this State debt, which have not been equalled since the fallof that bank.

Robb, on the coast of Afric’.— The Secretary of State, is the last man in the country to allow such an outrage to pass unnoticed, and we have no doubt the message of the President will take strong ground on the subject.

The prejudice that has for some time past existed in relation to exchange drawn on shipments of cotton, was, in a great measure, unfound- ed, and is rapidly pearing, and the moment we can realize through sales of these bills on our exports, the market will be relieved from the preseat depression, and amore favoreble state of things come up. Should the importations into this country for the next three months be no larger in proportion than for this month, the balance of trade would be changed, and the current of the precious metals flow in instead cf out. We oan hardly expect such 2 fayorable change in our foreign trade, but on the contrary, en the opening of spring we shall, with- outdoubt, be egain overloaded with an abundance of foreign manufactures. We annex our usual table of quotations for the princi- pal securities of the country. It will be observed that there has been a slight decline in some of the most valu- able stocks.

Among the rumors afloat, there is onc in relation to the State of Pennsylvania that calls for some comment. For the purpose of speculation, it is stated, in certain quarters, that the whole interest due in February, on the State debt, will be paid. Itis further stated that there is in the treasury an amount sufficient to meet the payment then required. There is not the least foundation for these reports, and they are put in circulation by a clique of operators, who have no other object than to raise the value of the stock in (his morket until they get rid of all they may have. This has no effect on the move- ments of those who understand the object, but with those who hold the stock and depend upon the in- come from it tomect their current expenses, the disap- pointment they are doomed to suffer, makes the matter more serious than appears possible to these speculators, We are assured by the most undoubted authority, that the February interest on the public debt of Pennsylva- nia will not be paid in full, and may not be paid in part. There are funds inthe treasury sufficient to pay apor- tion of the semi annual interest due then, but the Go- vernment of the Commonwealth will not probably deem it good policy to pay any part of the interest, unless they can pay the whole Another reason may be given for the non-payment of the interest, and that is the fear that the resources of the State may not be sufficient to meet the future divideuds regulerly and promptly. Should the State make a commencement, and afterwards tail, it will be a relapse into hopeless bankruptcy, from which there isno recovery. We have net received the slight. est evidence thatthe State of Pennsylvania is any more able to meet the interest on her debt uow thau hereto- fore. The public works have not yet been sold ; the in- ternal improvements have not been snfliciently produc- tive to ensure the permanent solvency of the State, and the collection of taxes has not progressed very favora- bly ; we cannot therefore perceive the least improvement in the finoncial effairs of the State, er any p:ospect of the interest being paid. As to the other delinquent States of the Union, nothing has transpired changing our former opinions on the probable movements of the le- gislatures this winter. The parties recently engaged in the negociations with the landholders of [linois in rela- tion to the canal loan, are at variance, and are battling each other in the columns of the city papers. The Boston Committee and Governor Davis have issued a pamphlet, giving the full history of their movements in the business, in answer to a statement made by one of tho State commissioners. It appears that Mr. Ryan, one of the commissioners, attributes the failure of the nego ciation to the course puraued by Gov. Davis and the Bos- ton Committee, who, in reply, attach all the blame to the commissioners The quarrels of the parties engoged are of little interest to the public. The loan required by the State in as far from being obtained as ever, and unless the bondholders come to the point, with the agent now abroad, the whole affair must be abandoned, and the canal go to wreck and ruin. In the letter of Gov. Davis in relation to the [ilinoia loan, he denies that he has engaged to attend the session of the legislature of Indiana to look after the interests of the European bondholders, The finances of Indiana n- main without the least alteration, and we cannot con- ovive it possible for any legislation to redeem the credit of the State at present. Ohio will, without doubt, pay the January interest on her debt, and may, for some time to come, do so promptly and punctually ; but we should not be surprised at any time to learn of an embarrassment in the financial offiire of that State that would shake its credit more than any of the operations of those in power have yet. It ls impossible to get at the actual condition the finances of the Wtate, of ite resoureer, ov ite ability
