The people are about to pass upon the acts of the administration, and the some anxiety will be feltto know the popular verdict The fact that the representatives of the peop e, by whose aid and counienauce the mea- sures of the present administratiun, so far, have been carried out, are to stand at the bar of popu- lar opinion, and there to have judgment passed upon the fulfilment of the trusts reposed in them, gives ad-rectcontradiction to the stale slander upon our institutions, thatit is in the power of apy one man, or setof men, to impose upon the people measures for which the national legisla- ture has not the popular sanction. The people are now about to give, through the ballot-box, their sovereign jadgment upon the various acts of the late Congres-, and more especially upon those immediately affecting the interests of property, vuch as the sub treasury and tariff bills. The coming Fal elections for Congressional and State Officers, are to take place in the fol- lowing order of time : | | Salaries of Forelgn Ministers. | Itisasingular anomaly in our democratic go- | vernment, that the salaries of ministers should be | so limitedas to exclude all but men of wealth, | from the office of minister either to St. Petersburg, | Paris, or London. This isnot as it should be, and we think the people should insist upon a change. The present system isanti-republicanism, and the people should require of their represen- tatives to advocate an increase of the salaries of foreign ministers. The original law, regulating the salaries of mi- nisters, passed in the first era of the government, | at atime when the requirements of the people | were simple, compared to those of the present day, provided that.a minister should receive not | more than nine thousand dollars a year, leaving it discretionary with the President to bestow dif- forent salaries on different ministers. But Gen. | Washington, knowing that the greatest sum ap- | propriated was little enough for the most incon- | siderable mission, regulated all the salaries at nine thousand dollars; and through all the changes | of time, and through all the variations in the va- lue of money, for more than half a century, the salaries have still remained the same. Now, the necessary expenditures of the different mission: vary according to their importance. For instance. Vermont, Tuesday, September 1. # A Maine, Monday, September 14, the Minister to Brazil, can save out of his salary, Georgia, Monday, October 5. while the Minist F Arkansas, Monday, October 5. vhile the Minister to France, England, or Rus- | Maryland, Wednesday, October 7. sia, is obliged to spend double the sum allowed. South Carolina, Monday, October 12. The Minister to Spai i Pennsylvanic, | Tuesday, October 13. niceekt pain can live comfortably on | Ohio October 13. | his salary. The salaries of the three great- | sippi, Mon November 2. est and most important missions, are so low, | onday, jovember 2. | J Tuesday, Novenbars: | that no man of even moderate means can | few Jursey, ‘Tuesday November 3. | undertake them. No man who is not wealthy | jassachusetts, — Mond: November 9. will accept either of them. The Minister to the Court of St. James is obliged to spend at least ten | thousand dollars more than his salary. The | ministers to Paris and St. Petersburg, cannot live | on less than fifteen thousand dollars a year. | Now, 1t will be seen at once, that no poor man can accept either of these three missions—the three most important in the world ; and there | are, unhappily, few men like Mr. King, our pre- | sent ablo minister to France, who unite a princely | fortune with extraordinary vigor of intellect, and | a perfect fitness for the discharge of all the daties of his important station. It is humiliating toour ideas ot republicanism, that offices of henor | under the government requiring consummate statesmanship, profound learning, a perfect apt- ness forcomplicated business, and unblemished purity of character, shouldbe open only to those who possess wealth; and that the poor man, not- | withstanding that he may be the very fittest per- son for such an office, is compelled to decline it, | the President being obliged toaccept the services | of a man more wealthy but less deserving. Who | is not sensible of the advantage of having sucha | man as Mr. McLane near the English Court? And who does not regret the necessity which compels him to resign an office, for which he is every way so qualified ? | But there is another evil attendant on this com. pulsory choice’of rich men for the office of minis- | ter. It isa duty we owe to other nations, to set be- fore them the good effects resulting from the exis- tence among us of free and republican institutions. Itshould be our desire to propagate the republican | spirit in Europe. Do we, under the present | regulation of the salanes of ministers, show | are, Tuesday, November 10. In Pennsyivania, no doubt, there will be a strongly contested struggle. The whigs will rely principally on the unpopularity ef the new tariff, and that will be made the main issue. But the | democrats of Pennsylvania may urge, that they, too, opposed the new tariff, and that they are just as strong protectionists as the whigs; and more- | over, they may state with perfect confidence, that the duties on coal and iron willbe so modified at the next session of Congress,as to leavePennsylva- nia nothing to complain of. This modification is already determined upon, it having received the assent of the Southern members. It would have been proposed and carriedoutat the last session of Congress, but that the passage of the bill oceur- | red at such a late day of the session that any mo- | dification would have defeated the entire mea- sure. Ali the prominent Pennsylvania democrats made vigorous efforts,until they procured the pro- mise of the South to assent to the proposed modi- fication. Mr. Buchanan exerted himself person- ally, and with success, in behalf of Pennsylvania interests, and the result will be an amendmeat of the tariff law,fostering the coal and iron interests, We have reason to believe that this modification | will be in the form of a compromise, beginning atan ad valorem duty of 50 per cent, and de- scending gradually, say to 35 or even 80 per cent. The rate of the new tariff law could be reached in four years by throwing off 5 per cent a year. This declension would be gradual, and the inju- rious effects to be apprehended, from the sudden transition from beavy to light duties, would be avoided But there is no doubt, notwithstanding the intended modification, that the tariff will be made a party question in Pennsylvania. An issue will be made up too, on the whole course of the adininistration, and we have reason to believe that there will be a regular canvass against it throughout the country, and that the whigs will arraign the democratic party for their course, and the course of the administration, in regard to the various matters which have occu- pied the attention of the late session of Congress. We may, therefore, expect to see some stirring dimes in the political world, from this time until December next. The following isa list, so far as known, of the different nominees for the office of Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and members to Congress in the different States. NOMINATIONS SO FAR AS KNOWN. alone in the bestowal of office, and that we look Upon a meritorious poor man as better entitled to an honorable office than a less meritorious weal- thy man? No such thing. We virtually exclude | the poor man from oflice, and promote the rich | man—because of his wealth—thus engrafting on | our system, the most illiberal notions of the aristo- | cracies of the old world. | There is another similar evil connected with | the one we have named —that is—the pitiful salary | of the Secretary of Legation. A gentleman going | out to England as Secretary of Legation receives two thousand dollars a year, and he is obliged to spend five thousand. He must either be depend- ent on the Minister (who is scarcely able to sup- | port himself) for board, or he must have a private | fortune to depend upon for his maintenance. He is thus reduced to the alternative of a humiliating dependency on one who probably has been all his life a stranger to him, or of a ruinous expendi- ture over and above his salary. This is all wrong. Economy is one thing—nig- VERMONT Democrats. John Smith ye Hugh H. y Homer £ dlubbell. Jona. T’ Bradley. Lucius B. Peck. is Jacob Collamer. Geo. P. Marsh. MAINE. David Bronson.

Dunn, Tue Fact Trape.—The panic, as it is facetiqns- ly called, has been declining since the arrival of merchants, who are crowding the numerous ho- tels of the city daily, and in general in pursuit of their fall assortments of goods. The large sales of domestic goods, on Wednesday, by Messrs. Wilmerdings, Priest & Mount; and of French goods by Messrs. Austens & Spicer, of nearly seven hundred lots of goods, both of which went oif with great spirit, to the large companies attending the sales, is a proof that it will be impossible to keep up the ery of ruin, which has been indulged in by the tariff press for months past. The enterprize, inteili- gence and liberalityof these houses are well known, and no combination or croaking can influence | them, or the mercantile community of this city | be affected by such futile means of depressing its commercial spirit, when the great resources of | our country are kept in view, with the increased | facility which the financial measures of the Secre- tary of the Treasury will give to the exchanges, | north, south and west In avery short time the money market will, usual, will be quite as large and prosperous as in past years, Fines 1n New York. —We take the following | from the report of Cornelius V. Anderson, Esq., | Tt concern the community at large, and require, we think, the immediate action of the Common Council :— ‘ “ During the year ending 1st August, 1846, there have been 258 Gres,by which the damage to buildings amount. ed to $55.301, and to stock, furniture, &c , $219,993. The number of fites is increasing every succeeding year; and occuring. as many of them do, under very susp) cir. cumstan: would r necessary igin should be investigated. During the night of the 2d May entig: last, within about six hours, ten fires occurred, all of | which, except one, commenced in stables, and were, no joubt, the work of design Several horses, together with other property of considerable value were destroy- ed, and nothing but tne extraordinary exertion of the firemen prevented several conflagrations.” The report then goes on to state, that within the last year there have been 139 false alarms, be- ing nearly double that of any previous year, caus- ing a great waste of time and labor to the fire- men, anda serious expense to the city. Those false alarms he attributes to the frequent change of bell ringers. . ‘Theatrical and Musical. { Panx Treatne.—Another crowded and fashiona- ble audience testified the growing popularity which Mr. Collins achieves by every successive performance. Last night, being the first of his re-engagement, only added another triumph to his already well deserved suc- ess. Not only has he forced all who were at first dis- if his powers as anactor and vocalist, but he has drawn enthusiastic audiences ever: ora of his performance. In the drama of “ Born to Good Luck,” as Paddy Raf ferty ; in the comedy of “How to Pay the Rent,” as Morgan Rattler; and in the “ Irish Post,” as O'Grady, he gave some of the best delineations of a reckless, jovial Trishman that we have ever witnessed. This even! the drama of ‘Born to Good Luck” will be repeated, after which the extravaganza of the“ Happy Man,” in which Mr, C. will sing his celebrated song, with drum ‘accompaniment, the whole to conclude with the farce of “Advice Gratis.” This being his last appearance but’. one prior to his departure for the South, we areconf- dent that the crowded houses will be continued, and thore of our citizens who are returning from the country will embrace the opportunity afforded of seeing a most excellent Irish comedian. Bowrny.—There was quite a respectable house last vening on the occasion of Mr. Walcot’s benefit. The Pieces consisted of “ Brother and Sister,” two acts “ Hoboken,” and “ Richard III. to Kill” Mr. Walco acting was as usual good, although a little overdor His Pacheco in “ Brother and Sister,” is really a capi piece of acting.

Locked up for trial. joing a Pawnbroker—Some infamous thief managed | terday to enter the pawnshop of Mr. William Simp- fon, corner of Broome street and Bowery, and while the attention of the clerks was drawn to another part of the store, he slipped behind the counter and stole a lot of pennies, amounting to $44, and made good his escape.

I forbear to comment upon the report in your paper, as also to take ac- tion against you for its publication, but trust that, inasmuch as you made one statement, you will give a place in yenr columns to another. About a fortnight since, Mr. Major, some others, and myself, hired a conveyance, and together were driven out of town, and returned at a late hour in the evening to a place of entertainment on the corner of 28d street and Broadway, and, whilst there, some dispute arose between Mr. Major and myself respecting a cab, during which that person called mea ‘ damed scoundrel” and “hiar;” and upon my asking him if it were hy intention to insult me, he replied “ yes,” and re- iterated his gross abuse—indignant at which,upon the impulse of the moment, and without reflec- tion, | hurled at him the tumbler and its contents, out of which I had been drinking, and inflicted a severe injury. ‘These are the simple facts of the case. Com- ment is unnecessary ; and although I have no de- sire todrag myself into public notoriety, stiil, as I have perforce been dragged there, | feel it but due to myself, at the earliest moment, to state the whole case, and thereby rescue myself from the odium which would necessarily attach to my name, after a perusal of the item in your ‘ Po- lice Intelligence.” Yours, &c., Peres Curysrat.

Marriage ny THe Tevecrarn.—The Newark correspondent of the Philadelphia Anguter re- ports a story “ which if true, is one of the most extra- ordi occurrences that ever took place, and throws all the novelties of hin present : re apy Ad Ge} boone It appears that a certain young lady a daughter of one the wealthie merchants it "Boston! formed an at- in 4 tachi for a handsome young man, who wasaclerk in her father’s counting pk hy vad had determined to have him for better or worse, Ithough her father had previ- ously given her hend to another suitor. ‘The lady’s father having heard of this attachment, feigned ignorance, but determined to break it off, his daughter to the gentleman he had promised & this purpose he directed the oung man to take pi sage in one ef the steamers that left New York and pre: ceed to England, and transact some business for him ere. The lover accordingly came to New York, but meantime, the young lady got som byte of her father’s intentions, and sent a messoge by telegraph to that effect to her lover in New York The expedient the two lovers resorted to for accom- plishing their dosire, and defeating the father’s views, was novel and extraordinary. She took her stand in 1! telegraphic office in Boston, and_he did the same, with magistrate, in the office in New York, and with the aid of the lightning, they were made bone of one bono and flesh of one flesh. This is certainly applying this inven- tion to a purpose never contem) by Professor Morse, and exhibits a great deal of iogeey Afew days since, t e lady's father insisted upon her marriage with the gentleman he had selected for her, andas might beexpecies, he was amazed when she told him she was elreasy the ‘wife of Mr. B., and the manner in which the cere was Mr. B followed his employer's direct aud went in the steamer to England.

The transportation of coal on the Reading Railroad, last week, was about five thousand tons less than for tLe week previous, which was caused by the stoppage vf orders. Several orders, to some extent, have receatly been countermanded, in consequence ef the impression Prevailing that coal can be purchased cheaper in the | coal region, sometime hence, than at present. This is | an erroneous impression, and the following reasens, from | the Miners’ Journal, will show that the supply of coal is more likely to be deficient than abundant :— “ In the first plrce, cual has already fallen to a groater extent than the redu: tion of laber wouid authorise Se condly, there is hut an increate of about 145,000 tons of coal inthe market thie year, over last year’s supply to same period, and we are sending but little more coal to market now, than we were at the same peried last year. Thirdiy, from information which was derived this week from a Song @ whole line of the works, we learn that the canal between this place and Reading cannot be com pleted for navigation before the middle of October. After making allowances for breaches, ke. to which all new work is liable, a supply of coal cannot be transporied over it for the short period it will be navigable, to affect pire of transportation, particularly after the Raii- Company have promulgated their determination net | to reduce their rates of transportation. Fourthly, no | greatly increased quantity of coal can be obtained from | the Novia Scotia mines this year, arising from the want | of preparations, and the necessary ni r of miners which will be required to increase thé Reef imme- diately. These are eur reasons for believing that no further material reduction in prices will taxe place during the ayant ag | year—and if those interested mn. it fer both Neager ja | | rsen competent to juige, and who has travelled agree with us in opmuien, it would be bad polic dealers and consumers abroad to delay any procuring their necessary supplies.” The following exhibits the comparative receipts up to August Ist, inthe years 1846 and 1846, on the public works of Pennsylvania :— Pexssyivahia Pumtic Won $383,608 42 311,674 65 eee cae with brid aqueducts ‘included, for Increase in 1846, Delaware Division in 1846.

All the receipts at the Columbia office, both for canal and railroad, are put in with the Columbia and Philadel: phia Railroad, (not having returned separately) and this fact may in some degree swell the receipts on the road, and diminish those on the canal, from the true yield ef each of those branches of improvement. The returns of tolls on the Public Works of the State of Ohio, for the current year, from November 16th, 1845, to July, 1846, exhibit a gratifying increase of $50,000 | over the corresponding period of the previous year, The following results are derived from returns in the hands of the Board of Public Works, and are therefore cor- | rect. It will be seen that ali the improvements gave an increased amount of revenue, except the Wulhonding Canal, which work ought to be, at once, abandoned by the State. Its revenues do not justify keeping it up lom ger. Although trade has not fallen off on the Ohio and Erie Conal, the Wabesh ond Mismi Extension bey ¢
