ers aemntisis a Ww YORK” HERALD. New York, Saturday, April 11, 1846, The Weekly Herald. ‘This publication for this week will contain a summary ofall the foreign and congressional news, up to the moment of issue. ‘The illustration of this number will be a very hu- | morous one, and a capital hit at the politicians, and | street-sweepers of the day, respecting the coming chaster election. It is decidedly one of the happi- est engravings we have yet given. It will be ready at$ o’clock this morning, price | six pence, with or without a wrapper. Non-Arrival of the Unicorn: it begins to be the impression that the steamer | Unicorn did not leave Liverpoo! on the 19th ult. | _. Charter Election—Reform Defeated. | It is really to be deplored that the anxious desires | of ourtax-paying citizens, so often expressed, for city reform, and the bright prospect there was a | short time since, of accomplishing it at the election this spri ould have been defeated and destroy- ed, as they have been. The causes that have led to this unfortunate state of things, although directly traceable to the botchery | and mismanagement of those who had charge of | eliminary arrangements for the elec- uon, date their origin trom an earlier period. Of these, the principal one is, the disreputable | manuer in which the editors of the party journals | have conducted their papers for the year past. For | along period they have been daily abusing each | other in a most disreputable way. There has been | no unity or concert of action among them, which, | above all things else, is the most essential element | in the constitution of all parties. They have occu- | pied their columns in discussing with each other, | Fourierism, anti-rentism, abolitionism; anti-capital- punishment-ism, and every other ism, but the right one, and kept their party in a continual state of dis- sension and disorganization, without touching a single principle upon which they could all unite.— The consequence is, that at a time when they need- ed most unity and concert of action, in order to | present a solid, unbroken front to the enemy, we find them disjuinted and broken into contemptible little cligues and fragments, each pulling a different way from the other, and each insisting upon sup- porting its own candidate. In this way, astate of things most favorable for the common enemy has been brought about, and an easy victory prepared for them. Jn this way the great cause of city reform hasbeen lost, and another year of locofoco corrupt legislation inflicted upon our city. This is not the first time that the whig editors have brought ruin and disaster on their party. In the defeat of Mr. Clay, the most popular man of their | party, the same unfortunate influences can be traced. We spoke of it at the time, and predicted the consequences. We can trace the same effects to the same causes in the next charter election. How deplorable, then, itis, to have those men who take upon themaelves the guidance and direction of the whig party, quarrel and fight with each other, about matters that have no concern with the com- moncause! But such things will happen again and again, until the party cut these disorganizers adrift, and select more competent men in their stead. | | | | FLarg-vps 1n Congress.—The country has been amused for some time past with the outbreaks be- tween members of Congress in the House and in the Senate, which have furnished material for mer- riment, wherever theythave been discussed. We al- lude to the outbreaks between Webster and Dick- inson, in the Senate, and those between McConnell, &e., in the House. These little émeutes ‘act like spice in a pudding, and give taste and flavor to the dry and dull debates of the members. Although they are highly amusing, but not very dignified, they answer a capital purpose, | by occupying the time and attention of the members, and keeping them from working mischief im the way of legisiation. The country at large never was in a more pros- perous condition than it 1s at present, and all that is needed to keep it so, is for the members of Congress Not to intermeddle; but theycan abuse eech other as | muchas they please. On this account, we consider these little outbreaks advantageous to the country; and if both branches of Congress will occupy them- selves for the remainder of the session in the same way, they will do more service to the country than they can do in any other way. So, gentlemen, keep | the mill going. Tue Ockan Sreamers anv THE PostMasTER Genunat.—The conduct of Mr, Cave Johnson, the Postmaster General, in relation to the proposals for building the ocean steamers, under a recent law of Congress, tras created a great deal of dissatisfaction, and has given rise to surmises and conjectures not atall honorable to the motives of Mr. Johnson .— This dissatistaction is not confined to any particular set of men, here or elsewhere, but is participated in by the friends and supporters of the general govern- ment, as well as others. Indeed, the organ of the government in this city, is vociferous in denouncing | the conduct of the Pestmaster General, and does not hesitate to assert thathe violated the provisions of the law authorizing the issuing of propesals. It asserts that the Postmaster General rejected all the proposals that were made, but one, which emanated from a nest of stock-jobbers in Wall street, who were anxious to get hold of the enterprize, and convert it into a speculating concern, for the purpose of pri- vate interest and money making. Even Mr. John- s0n’s own friends denounce his conduct in this business, and say that he is guilty of violating the spirit and intent of the law. We have had occasion before this, to make the same charge against the Postmaster, but on another transaction. We asserted atthe time, and are still of opinion, that he clearly violated the spirit of the Jaw of Congress, directing the post office letters to, be advertised in particular papers. This, how ever is of trifling consequence, compared with the pro- posals for the ocean steamers, which is a matter that interests the country at large, and particularly the commercial mterests of the Atlantic cities. ‘The fact is, the government made a mistake when they legislated on this matter in the way they did. It E. K. Collins, Esq, of this city, or Mr. Sno, | had been consulted by the proper authorities, and had received permission to construct such vessels as the government required for the ocean service, the government and the country would eventually be better pleased than they would if any other course had been pursued. Both of these gentlemen are veterans—their characters are beyond reproach ia every respect, and they are eminently qualified, from experience, to conduct such an undertaking to a satisfactory conclusion. ‘The hopeful concern that has been favored by the Postmaster General, have applied to our Legislature in Albany for an act of incorporation, and probably the aflair will end with the intention of converting the stock into the “fancy” breed, and speculating with it in Wall street, in the way they do with the Erie Railroad stock, Long Island Railroad, Harlem Railroad, or the grand railroad to the great depot below. Rovert Tartorn—No Canptpate.—The Gazette | and Times of last evening states, that Mr. Taylor will not accept the whig nomination for Mayor. If this be so, we suppose the whigs will unite on Mr. Cozzens, and he may yet have a chance. We should like to know the real state of the facts. Late Prom Scortanp—The ship Agnes, Capt. Wetherell, arrived at this port, on Thursday, from Glasgow, with advices to the 9th ult. We learn that on the 2! of that month, a tre- mendous hurricane burst upon Glasgow, and that it continued to the 3d. One large stone store and se- veral houses, were blown down, several unrooted, and many chimneys demolished. The shipping in the port suffered cons iderably. | robber’s ni, | WOUR DAYS LATER OM EUROPE. ARRIVAL OF THE | ADIRONDACK. Safety of the Pilot Boat WILLIAM J. ROMER. Some Choice American Spirit. de. Ke. Ses FR The fine packet ship Adirondack, Capt. Shipley, | arrived yesterday from Cork, Ireland. She sailed thence on the 13th ult. We learn by this arrival, the safety of the pilot boat William J. Romer. She arrived at Cork on the 6th ult., remained there six days, and sailed for New York on the 12th. She may, therefore, be hourly expected to arrive. The appearance of the Romer, at Cork, excited not a little astonishment; and the following an- nouncement shows that she went into Cove with some éclat ; as a New York pilot boat always will go into port :— (From the Cork Reporter, March 10 } American Srinit—A Sma. Mistaxe.—It willbe in the recollection of our readers that we announced on Saturday the arrival in Cove, of a United States pilot schooner, 84 tons, direct from N. York, having on board a gentleman—supposed to be the bearer of official despatches—who at once proceeded to Lon- don. _ On her arrival in Cove Harbor, with the Ameri@an flag flying at the masthead, a Lieut. of H.M.8. Vanguard was despatched by order, as we understand, of the Admiral, to require that the flag should be at once taken dowa. The Captain of the W. J. Romer received the British officer with much courtesy, asked him down to the cabin—and having been made acquainted with the object of his visit, the American’s reply was cha- racteristic—‘So long as I have an arm to pulla trigger, no man shall dare touch that flag.” This rompt reply puzzled th® ‘' Britisher” not a little— he returned to his ship forfurthher orders—and, ina short time, came back to the American officer with an ample apology, to the effect that seeing the vessel so small, his commander did not think she was an American vessel, and that the flag of that nation had been used without authority. So the matter ended. There is a little choice American spirit in this —a little Monongahela. The Adirondack, not expecting to bring any news, had only one paper on board when she reached this port. That paper our famous news collector ob- | tained by being the first on board of the ship. There had been but little change in the money market. The prices of grain had improved. The India news was considered alarming by no apprehension as to the result. Time will tell better, however. It has been communicated to us that gne of the highest authorities in the country has given it as his opinion, that the Society for the improvement of Ireland will, by judicious action, obtain from go- vernment, three millions for completing the Irish railways. Eforiin) Neg Letiers have been received in Cork intimating that government are about forming naval depots for coal and other stores in Cove and in the Shannon. ‘The Crisis in the Affairs of the World—War in Europe and America. [From the Cork Reporter, March 10.] is _ The world, we fear, grows tired of peace—Chris- tians and Mahometans, lettered and unlettered na- tions, seem bent on war. The dinof war is heard in the four quarters of the globe—in Asia on the borders of the Sutletj—in Africa along the desert— in America it has bu: begun, and Northern Europe is now a scene of mad conflict of which the restora- tion of Polish nationality is the object. There is nothing in all history so glaringly dishonest and un- principled as the compulsive cession of the Polish territory to the imperial robbers who sat in consul- tation at the Congress of Vienna. They excelled in iniquity the Roman triumvirate who met in the lone island to divide the empire. They sought power ered; but the crowned heads who met in Anno jomini, 1815, conspired to pounce upon indepen- dent kingdoms over which they had none but the ht. They violated treaties on which the ink was hardly dry; they appropriated territory over which they had no jurisdiction; they parcelled out among themselves feeble or detenceless_king- doms—they annexed Saxony and tore the Polis! nation limb trom limb asunder. As hounds make fragments of their prey. even so did they mangle that enfeebled country. Tne French Emperor was no more a terror. There was none to combat or resist them. Castlereagh was there, too, to work 4 nation’s ruin, and the fangs of Russia fixed in the body of Poland, bore off a lion’ Every one recollects the vain strife—th of solitude that subsequently reigned in saw—the cold apathy ® England, though mankind cried shame, looked on. The Poles were scattered over the whole earth, beg- gars in one place, dependents and pensioners of ‘ar- | fashion in another, barely tolerated in a third— drafted into armies, oppressed by Austria, coerced by Pree secre by Nicholas, they yet remem- ber their nationality, and have flocke back into their native land either to recover it or to perish, and thus to end their exile. They have madea stand at Cracow, have driven out the garrison, are assembling in large numbers from all parts of Eu- rope—trom every one of their old birth places, where any of them were suffered to exist, and have issued a proclamation that wherever it is read, will ever, but a vain exertion. What can they effect; unassisted by any other nation, in the teeth of three powers banded together, great in resources and unanimous in action against the ill-armed though tions to their side have occurred—they are provided with the rude weapons with which they cut down the ranke of Russia at Radavia ; they stand before the regal, rich triumvirate, whose legions will be sent on front, flank and rear against psi! 1 oe inte fear, a despairing pte and will end only in havoc, confiscations, and the speed overthrow of the bold but h sf dared to seek the restoration of their freedom. They must expect they will be, their subjugation will be followed by cruelties we shudder to contemplate. Russia has no compassion for the conquered. War has thus begun in Europe—will it be the sig- nal for the discontented on towards the bank of the far celebrated Rhine? We know not yet—we can- not stay to speculate. We trust in Providence that nations leas oppressed and better taught in the arts of peaceful victory, will wait and shun the last re- sort to which the Polish exiles are coerced. If they would copy us, they could prevail. But we will be forgotten if the frenzy once falls upon them. We are far away from their minds—as, happily, we are isolated from all connection with their contentions. Icis not what is passing or will pass in northern or more central Europe, | gard as what is about to happen faraway.

(From the Dublin Post, March 6] ‘The intelligence communicated to our readers ia our last, and which we repeat in greater detail to- day, might be supposed, in the opinion of many, to modify the impression we have sought to communi- cate above—namely, that there will be 70 war be- tween the United Kingdom and the United States. We contess, however, that our opinion remi pretty much the same, notwithstanding the obstina- cy of the American President, and the bellicose rig- marolery of certain members of the Congress. These people are bellowing like their own buffaloes; but they appear to be taking as little precaution as these brutes, for futurity. They seem to be of opinion that neise and bluster brageing and big words, are all that is necessary to scare England from the as- sertion of what sie considers her rights. But, while they are taking this course—while the United States are ringing with their declamations—they have not constructed one fort on their Atlantic |, or add- eda steam frivate to theirnavy, * * * * This is the feeling of the United Kingdom. It has been expressed in all manner of forms, and from every possible quarter. There has risen up a terri- torial dispute between the nations. negoti- ation—we invoke arbitrament. But, though he has condescended to open the question, Mr. Polk laughs at negociation, arbitrament he rejects as inad- mussibie. What object, therefore, can Mr. Paken- ham have in view by continuing the idle, the ridiculous routine of a further diplomatic corree- pondence? We really cannot see the object, | though, we dare say, there is some. In the communication, however, of the President to the American Senate, we confess we cannot fiad any trace upon which to base an expectation of the kind. “ T’lk not submit to arbitration,” quoth this gentleman, “because that would be an admission that the right of the United States to the debateable land is doubtful.” Now—we Rut it frankly—is not this an end,ot the question? We should say soat once, and without the least hesitation, if we did not remember that the Executive of the United States isnow (it was not always thus) the mere creature of American m racy—and, further, if we did not bear in mind that a democracy is proverbially capri- cious. In this case, it 1s the West dominating over the South and North; for though there are democrats ret to Congress from the two latter sections of the States, we believe they never contemplated oing to war for a scarcely uninhabitable desert on the west of the Rocky Mountains. The interests of both these sections—and they are still the most powerful in the Union, is peace—the South by rea- son of her cotton and tobacco ; the North by rea- son of her commercial intercourse with the mother country; the Centre by reason of the flour and pork. and Indian corn, which, should peace be the policy, she will have to carry to the shores of the nited Kingdom. We do really believe that the American government, big as it talks, does not apprehend any serious breach of the relations existing between the twocountries. If it did caper hostilities, then it is ilty of high crimes and misdemeanors against SreAmerican people, if not of high treason ; for it is taking no precautions worth talking of for a de- tence of its coasts, or for its cities on the coast. It has built no batteries, it has prepared no war marine. It may have a show steam vessel or two; but it has not, as it ought to have, as France has, a steam fleet. {t should appear, however, that it is a little uneasy. Tt has demanded explanations as to the activity of \our dock yards—as to the strengthening of our Canadian frontier, and the large credits which, they | seem to think, are demanded for the purpose of put- | ting our army on a war establishment. These | explanations, we learn, have been frankly render- ed tothe President. ‘They were not commenced with a view to America; but they have been con- tinued for the pur; ot being ready tor contingent hostilities with government. Nothing can fairer than this. We shall learn, by-and-by, what effect this exhibition of candor may have bon “the enlightened citizens of tree and independent America.” We hope, tor all our sakes, that it will prove sedative. At any rate, we still persist in the conviction, that there will be no war between Eng- land and America.
