HERALD POUR L’EUROPE, SOMMAIRE DES NOUVELLES AMERICAINES POUR EXPEDIER PAR LA LIGNE DES STHAMBRS FRANCAIS. Notre journal est si répandu en Europe, ses feuilles sont tellement recherchées sur le vieux continent, qu’il nous est derniérement venu une} bonne idée, laquelle, déj communiquée au pub- lie dans plusieurs de nos numéros, a regu une approbation générale. Tous lesnégocians Fran- gais, Allemands, Italiens, Suisses, Russes, etc., ent lu avec plaisig)’annonce que nous faisons de la publication en langue frangaise des événe- mens les plus importags, des nouvelles les plus récentes parvenues 4 New York dans l’intervalle des départs de chaque steamer frangais. EGll est donc entendu que le New York Herald pour VEurope, lors du départ des navires va- peur de la société Héroult et de Handel, conti- endra un sommaire de toutes les nouvelles amé- ricaines, imprimé en frangais. Tous nos lecteurs reconnaitront sans doute dans cette idée, quelque chose de neuf, un desir de plus de rendre notre journal populaire et de le faire lire, non seulement par ceux qui ont appris & fond le langage de notre pays, mais encore par ceux qui l’ignorent. Dans toutes les occasions, depuis sa naissance jusqu’ a ce jour, Le Herald a fait tous ses efforts pour marcher de niveau avec le progres. Le premier il a fait paraitre des Extra conte- nant les nouvelles les plus fraiches importées par les paquebots arrivant d’Europe; le premier il a publié une édition particuliére destinée aux ha- bitans de autre cété de l’Atlantique, et qui de- vait leur étre apportée par chaque steamer: le premier il aemployé, pour son propre compte, la merveilleuse découverte de Morse, si utile au public et av journalisme: en un mot, ses cons- tans efforts ont tendu vers le but de se maintenir dans le rang qu’il a conquis comme le premier et le meilleur journal des Etats-Unis; et c’est encore dans ce but qu’il vient annoncer aujourd’hui une innovation propre & resserer fortement les liens d’amitié qui enchainent les citoyens des Etats- Unis a la belle France. Tel est done le motif qui a engagé le proprié- tairé du New York Herald & publier dorénavant un résumé de Vhistoire des progrés de ce pays dans l’art militaire et naval, la politique, le com- merce, les finanves, la vapeur, l’électricité, ec. Nous commencerons donc notre nouvelle en- treprise le jour of le steamer frangais Philadel- phie quittera notre port, c’est & dire le 15 de ce mois. Notre premier No. du Herald frangais pour PEurope, au point de yue commercial, politique, et monétaire, sera, nous l’espérong, aussi intéres- sant pour la France, I’Italie, la Suisse, l’Alle- magne, la Russie, ete., qu’il Va déja été, et qu'il lest encore pour Angleterre. Le livre d’abonnements est ouvert dans nos bureaux et le prix de chaque souscription sera le méme que pour les numéros destinés aux steam- ers anglais et américains: six sous et demi par exemplaire. Nous recevrons aussi des annonces en fran- ais et nous croyons utile de faire remarquer ici A nos lecteurs quel sera pour eux l’avantage de ces avertissemens par lesquels les produits de ce pays pourront étre annoncés par toute !’Europe et vice versa.

The two parties which have shown all the ferocity of hatred, without any of its energy, towards the Americans, have been deposed from influence and power. They are the military and the ultra-democratic parties. ese are the parties which, blending ogo and exciting each other, undertook the defence of France against the uni- ted and overwhelming force of the rest of Europe in 1789. Soldiers and democrats in Mexico have by unit- ing but rendered defeat more overwhelming, and their own weakness more conspicuous. Santa Anna and Go- mez Farias hay ay and both had fair trial, and been found wanting. The quiet and timid civilian party re- appear, with Herrera, no doubt to make peace, and, no doubt, on very disadvantageous terms, And yet we see enough in the American bulletins to feel that Mexico might have been defended. General Scott’s communications with Vera Cruz and his own de- pots have been completely cut off by guerillas, All that is wanting is to multiply these, and for the towns to show the same hatred, and to make the same sacrifices, that the Spaniards did in the peninsular war, in order to render the advance of the American army impossible. ‘To burn the towns, destroy or remove provisions, give the Americans welcome nowhere, but harassthem front and rear, and cut off communication— ould evi- dently make an end of General Scott,and force the Unit- ed Stites, to much greater efforts, or much more lenient terms. But it is quite evident that the Mexicans are prepared todo no such thing. The clergy fraternise with the Yankees, the farmers give them provisions in return for promissory notes, and the Americans are quite at home at Puebla as at Vera Cruz, All this is the fault of the villanous governments of free Mexico, its corrupt and selfish statesmen, its miserablecommanders. Despotism is w bad thing, but despotism itself had not the effect of 80 cen ey crushing every spirit of nationality as the system which called itself a republic, and which was more base and is more cowardly than any nation under ay regime. ‘The contemplation of such a state, of such men and such events, prompts one to turn attention altogether from Mexico itself, and consider merely the ruinous effect that so greata conquest must have on the future conduct and fortunes of the great western republic. In- ternal influences, too, are at work, which will more im- mediately, and not leas powerfully, contribute to shape its course, Of the leading questions upon which parties in the United States have divided, few are more vital than that which relates to the action of the central gov- ernment in respect of internal improvements. The waste lands of all the territory of the Union are by the constitntion vested in the Congressional government. Many of the best statesmen of the country have earnest- ly urged the application of the proceeds of the sulesof these lands to the opening of great trunk roads and cana’s, and the effecting of such improvements as by de- veloping the national resources would enrich and strengthen the whole republic. The jealousies of the party, which, in its fear of central power, maintains a view of state independence almost leading to anarchy has hitherto thwarted the advocates of this policy. A great move ison the eve of being made in the cause of internal improvements. A convention has been sum- moned to meet at Chicago, on Lake Erie, to deliberate on the best mode of completing the water communica- tions between the seaboard and the Western States. New York has appointed deputies to take part in the proceedings of this convention. So has Philadelphia And, what is scarcely leas important, Mr. Benton, and other leading members of the party hitherto opposed to the feeling of internal improvements, have either pro- mised to attend, or expressed their regret at their ina- ma to be present, and their sympathy with the oo) of the meeting. The circumstance that such a Convention may be able to unseat the present government, and change its internal policy, is, perhaps, its least important fea- ture. The improvements contemplated by those who have been instrumental in bringing about the Conven- tion would accelerate the development of the immense mineral region which has yet been only scratched at Pittsburgh and Wheeling; and the additional power which the management of these improversents would vest in the authorities at Washington would go far to impart greater reality to the Congressional government. Since the breaking up of the national bank, the Su- preme Court of the United States is the only felt national sastitution in the Union. ‘Ihe material power of an in- ternal improvement commission would confirm the au- thority of this emiuent aud high-minded court. The powers of the central government would be increased without one real liberty of the States being encroached upon, And the repetition of such lamentable examples ot weakness a4 were exhibited when the frontier hun- ters’ lodyse of the State of New York set at defiance the authority of the goverument at Washington, would in time be icudered impossible of recurrence. (From the London Globe, July 15. The United States seem to exist for the special vexa- tion and coufuiation of those who imagined that the virtues of muny-government were sure to form an exact contrast with the vices of few-government. ‘That way is the particular pastime of monarchs and aristocracies, and that nations would never have any- thing to do with it, when they were wise enough to go- veru themselves, had become & scamely contested axiom amongst popular politicians. But we have seon this wantun Mexican war, the favorite offspring of popular policy, expressly and exclusively undertaken to secure popularity, and which its authors would now willingly ubandon, tince they see popularity transferred (as they might have anticipated) from the civilian pianoers or (he war to the direct military pertormers. Again, that back stairs intrigues against meritorious public servants could occur nowhere but in palaces, and that four. years autocrats needs must be exempt from all the roibles kings and queens of hereditary tenure were prone to— this was another unquestionable axiom, which required no sanction from experience. The experience is enlarg- ing, but the axiom is none the beiter for it. President Voik is at back-stairs work against Generals Scott and ‘Taylgg. And reason good. The President “shows” at New York; and no man #ays God bless him! Accord- ing to the Times “ Genevose I'raveller,” “ The municipal authorities received him in a manner highly creditable, regardless of expense. But there was no warmth—no enthusiasm. Everything—every act—evinced a cold formality, From the whig party he had no right to ex- pect any other. But from his professed friends he doubtless expected a cordial reception. If he did, he has been sadly mistaken.”? It would appear, therefore, that President Polk, hav- ing made a war for“ political capital,” is not leas anxious to make a peace, now he finds the capital accruing to Gen, Scott. Oda enough that it should not have oc- occurred to him, that, if he must needs *start another “ Old Hickory,” Hickory the Second, and not Poik the Firat, would have all the chances for the next—and next Presidential triumphs. ‘The American people, when- ever they can get anything like martial glory, are as sure as th- aborigines of tneir continent to award it the powers of dictatorship. ‘Chey hailed Jackson as a mili- lary dictator; they will hail Sco:t as possessing the same title. Accordingly, Mr. Polk is as sick of his war as the Northern men themselves. He has been sending a cer- tain Mr. Trist to Mexico, it is said, to attempt negotia- tion, and—it is farther said by “the well-informed friends of Gen, Scott—as a spy upon the public conduct of the General, and if possible to ruin him.” We know no recent “monarchical” intrigues quite parallel to this game throughout—or at least to the rumors regarding it. Gen, Scott, it is further reported, will not let Trist cobble up a peace for him, as Mariborough was served in the treaty of Utrecht. It would seem, therefore, that the military power has taken the bit between its teeth, and left Mr. Trist’s civil employers the trist alternative of swallowing the affront, or breaking epenly with, and unhorsing the popular General, ‘The former will afford an ominous precedent. ‘Lhe latter will at once commit suicide of whatever re- mains of the presidential popularity of wholly undertaken for that object. But if popular faver is ready transferred from the gown to the sword, that we no great sacrifice, [From the Liverpool Mail, July 17.] ‘The news by the Cambria is anything but favorable tothe arms of the United States in Mexico. General Scott’s invading forces are in a starving atate at Puebla, only about half way between Vora Cruz and the capital, From Vera Cruz alone can be procured his supply of provisions, and the trains he employs for that purpose are daily and hourly attacked by strong guerilla parties, who plunder or destroy them, and carry on a running fight among the mountain passes for a distance of twenty or thisty miles, We seo plainly enough that the Mexican chiefs are willing to sell their country and buy a peace, and the Washington government and ita citizens, tired of the war, and disappointed in. its resulta, are eager to make a purchase and pay the dollars, On the other hand, we Pan discern a difficulty in the rising spirit of national feeling. Guerilla warfare to the Spaniard is sport. The Mexicans have Spanish blood in their veins; andif the rude peasantry once determine upon the extirpation of the intruders, all the money in the United States will not buy, and all the courage of their troops will not conquer a peace. ‘The guerillas who harass the march of General Scott are daring and sanguinary men, burning with indigna- tion, and thirsting for revenge. ' Their wants are few, and these their predatory pursuits can easily supply, while their knowledge ofthe country, and the rapidity of their movements, give them formidable advantages. If, there- fore, those feelings should become general, and a little success lond encouragement to their enterprise, and we seo nothing to prevent. this, the citizens of the United States will have cause to regret that they ever embark- ed in the iavasion and conquest of Mexico. The Disabilities of the Jews, Last evening crowded meeting of the members of the Jewish Association for the Removal of Civiland Religious 8, asxembled at the Fishmongers’ Arms, St place, Aldgate ‘This aevoriation had already held two preliminary moet. ings, and the object of the pre t one was to confirm the minutes of the preceding one, to hear read an ad- dress dedicated to the electors of the city of London, and composed by Dr. Raphael, of the Birmingham Jewish Congregacion, and to discuss the resolutions de- tailed below. ‘The clinir was taken by Mr. Mitchell, who, after a few remarks, called on tie seeretary to read the minutes of the Inst iaecting. ‘These having been read and con- firmed, Mr. Satu nk) Goins mirn proceeded to read the address alluded to which was rece! a with much applause, and in commenting on it he stated that he was happy to say that the liberal party, nay, many conservatives, would vote for the removal of efvil and religious disabilities, Up to the present time he ited to say that political ection hed’ been wanting onthe pars of Tove, But Baron de Rothschild, aud the other liberal candidates, they must for many years submit to the disabilities severely felt by them It was moved by this gentleman and s+Conded by Mr. Parti Barxerr, “that the address b» adopted, printed, andcireulated amongst the electors of the city of London.” Carried unanimously. The third resolution, that “this association pledges itself not to dissolve until civil and religious disabilities shall be removed,” was moved by Mr. Isaac Lyons, seconded by Mr, I. Lazanus, and carried by acclama- n. ‘The fourth resolution was proposed by the Rev. T. W. Manks, who observed, with reference to the opinions generally entertained of the feeling of the Jews with re- ‘spect tothe Christian religion, that there was nothing to prevent a Jewish member of Parliament voting in fa- vor ofthe support and endowment of churches and chapel and without offering an opinion as to the pro- priety Of the connection between church and state; but e would say, that had they no class more inimical to them thin were the Jews, church and state might re- main united for centuries. He felt much pleasure in proposing the resolution entrusted to him, viz:—“That this association hareby offer their grateful ucknowledg- ments to the metropolitan and proviveial press for the generous support they have afforded to the Jewish can- didates for the honors of Parliament.” ‘The resolution was enthusiastically received. Mr. Canvatno spoke to to the next resolution, and said that he thought the Jews had fairly incurred’ cen- sure for their want of energy in not agitating long Cd for the removal of their present disabilities; yet it might be argued that they had bided their time, and he con- sidered no period 80 opportune as the present, the more 80, ax public opinion was now favorable to their claims, and there was no violent party feeling abroad to pre- vent their being discussed with perfect calmness. He called on them, one and all, to support the Baron de Rothschild, and place him at the head, of the poll. [Loud cheers } Mr. R.

[From the London Court Journal, July 3.) Lord John Rursell has addressed’ the electors of Lon- don, but very briefly. He says, fairly, that he takes too active a part in the nightly business of the House to render any explanation of his political creed at all necessary. ‘The other candidates for the city have also ut forth thelr appeals—among them Baron Lionel Rothschild, who, the Standard declares, has no qualifi- cation at all except the “reputation of great wealth.” ‘The other Hebrew, Mr. Salomons, does not seem likely to come to the poll’ Neither can sit; and we do not imagine that the public mind cares sufficiently whether Jews become legislators or not, to make a parody upon the celebrated Clare election a winning game. We dare say either the Baron or Mr. Salomons would make just as good & member as any other millionaire, who lounges from his opera-box to the House, and from the House to half-a-dozen soirces, and looks into the opera again in time to sve Cerito’s last pas. But there are so many able-bodied Christians to do the work of millionaire, thut it seems unlikely the new candidates will get up an interest. And with Mr, Benjamin D’lstaeli in the House, the Hebrew mind cannet complain of not being spoken there—Mr. D’Israeli, who claims us Jews every- body who has ever done anything brilliant, from Gideon down to Grisi, By the way, we suppose, in the sequel to *Tancred,” we shall have a Hebraic pedigree found for Jenny Lind. Did no Jews ever settle in Sweden any time between the years 650 and 1650? If they did, rely upon it tho Nightingale will, ere long, be reminded that her nest is on Lebanon, Affairs in Turkey. The following are extracts from a letter written at Constantinople, and dated June 17 :— 1 was present a few days ago at the most interesting assembly that was perhaps ever held in this country. It was the first meeting of 4 Mechanios’ Institute, estab- lished by a little colony, as | may call them, of Finglisn- men in the service of the Sul A Mr. Hague, who has the direction of an iron foundry at a village called Mackriquoi. on the coast of the sea of Marmora, presided at this assembly, and a Mr. Philips, who has the manage- iment of a mew cotton factory in che same place, acted as secretary. Fifty English operatives, or engineers, be- longing to these manufactories, attended as members of the society. There were besides, also, Armenian mem- bers present, and some Americans, among whom was Dr. Davis, & gentleman who is director of @ model farm for the Sultan, which is to be of four thousand acres extent, in the neigbbornood. Three Pachas have already put their names down us honorary members of the institute. Mr. Lisat, the great pianist, is in Constantinople. He has been introduced to the Sultan; and the Sultan played on the piano before him, ‘This act, to those who Kuow what the severity ef eastern etiquette is, shows the Sultan in the most auiable light. laudeed, from all I can learn, the oultan is about the most amiable and benevolent man iu the world. Mr, Liszt has, no doubt, received some valuable token of his Imperial Highuess’s favor. He is to give « eoncert here in a few days, but I am afraid he will not be appre- ciated; for, with very few exceptions, the ears that will listen to him will ‘be barbarian, that is, insensible to the art, and the transcendent charm of music. Rude sounds for rude ears. A delicate, practised, capacious ear for a high cultivated harmony is more rarely met with in this country—even among Europeans—than any where else. I have ji learnt that the French government have very recently instructed M. de Bourquenay to inquire of the Porte, a# a Mahomedan government, by what means 4 French cousul may be established at Mecca, the holy city, into which no Christian has ever been permitted to enter, The object is to have a French consul there in order to viser the passports of Algerines, French sub- jects, who yearly make religious pilgrimages thereto. And it is desired that the consul should be @ Christian anda Frenchman. In either of these characters, how- ever, the consul’s life there would not be worth twenty- four hours’ purchase, If the cabinet of the Tuilleries, therefore, wish to have a consular agent at Mecca, they must send there an Algerine Mussulman, or, if a French- man they must have to answer their purposes, | dare say there would be no difficulty in finding one, if the salary affixed to the office be sufficient, who would sub- mit to abjure his baptism and be circumeised, to cast off Christianity and adopt Islamism, for the good of his country, humanity, civilization, and the glory of first carrying @ French banner into the ae of Holies of the Mosiem creed. This kind of false grandiose is what parti- cularly enchants the French imagination Frexcn Weicuts anp Measures.—The di- rect communication between France and the United States, by means of the New York and Havre line of steamships, will bring us more in contact with Krench terms and technicalities of business and trade. ‘The following table and observations, therefore, of the English value of the weights and measures most in use Will be useful to those who are not acquainted with the French language. It will be seen that the federal va ine of the French coins are approximations—but they so near the truth as to answer all ordinary purposes. ‘Phe foundation of all the French measures, whether of lines, surtaces, solids, or the contents of vessels, (ge- nerally called measures of capacity) is a quadrant of the earth's meridianal circumference. This is pre- sumedto be constant in, the same hemisphere, and. for the same longitude; andthe quadrant which they use, is that passing from the equator through Paris to the north pole. This, according to the most accurate ad- measurements and calculations, is estimated at 5,130,- 740 old French toises of 6 French feet cach. The 10,000,000th part of this is a metre; and one metre is equal to 3 feet and 11 296-1000 lines, or 3 feet 1 inch of the old measurer, very nearly. The metre, the square metre, and the cubic metre, aro the radical standards of the three measures; for there are only three, as solidity and capacity, though differently named and used, are the same in reality. ‘The radical denominations are not always the square and cube of the metre, because the first would be too small a measure for land, and the second too large for the greater number of substances estimated by quanti- ty. ‘The following are the denominations :— Taneal Measure-—The metre, which means measure, and is in round numbers about 39 9-25 English inches, Surface.—The are, which means surface or area, and is the square of 10 metres. or 100 square metres. Capacity.—The litre, which measured quan- dis the cube of one-tenth of a metre, or the t of @ cubic metre, In English measure it is nearly a cube of four inches, and very nearly sixty-one cubic inches. Solid —The stere, which means a solid, and is the cube of a metre, or nearly 35}; English cubic feet, From these radical deuominations the larger ones are procured by multiplying by 10, and the lower ones by dividing by the same, ‘Thus Deca, prefixed, mean: Hreto,. ose Kilo... . MPR el vsdcceneeede ‘These prefixes, which are a sort of barbarous Greek, for the numbers, are prefixed to the radical names, metre, are, litre, and stere ; and the number is under- stood to multiply the surface of the solid, and not its side; thus one decare is 10 acres, and not « «quare of ten limes the side of an are, and #0 of the others The denominations below the radieal ones are ex pressed by a sort of Latin prefixes :—Thus Dees i Centi is. ‘one-hundredth Milli is, . . .one-thousandth In the same mode of estimating, time was arranged into tenths and hundredths: 1 da; hours; 1 hour =. 100 minu es; and 1 minute ~ 100 seconds, The circle, or angular measures, were also # ranged in hundredtha—400 degroes in a whole cire ference ; 100 in a quadrant ;. 100 minutes in one degr 1 ounce = 1-16 of Ib. 28.3384 gramm 1 pound, or 1 lb imperial. 0.4534148 kilogr’mes Lowt = 112 Ibs 50,7824600 kilogr’mes... 1 ton = 20 owt. = 1015,6490000 kilogr’mes, French, English. 1 gr'me = 15.438 gra.

TRAVELLING IN MAINE.—Six steamboats arrived at Portland, on Wednesday, with 1,114 passen- ers; 100 from Boston, 215 from Kennebec, 161 trom the Renobseot, and 239 from St. Johns and Eactport, In a dition to these arrivals, there arrived in the cars, in t course of the day, between 400 and 600 passengers, be- sides the number brought in from the country by some half dozen stage lines, ‘This will do, for one day. and 106 seconds in ® minuto, ‘These measures have, however, been abandoned, or, at all events, they are far ‘The Hon, Edmund Burke, Commissioner of the Patent Office, was in Columbus, Ohio, on the 4th inst, Price Two C ent Massachusetts Polttics, Bostox, A The first step towards opening the wollieal paareal in this State, was made about « fortnight since, by the publication of a notice from the Democratic State Cen- tral Committee, calling upon the several towns to choose delegates to « convention, which is to meet at Worcester on the 22d of September next Should the convention be no more numerously attended than was the of the committee at which this notice was issued, it will be a mighty slim affair indeed, as but three or four coun- ties were represented at that meeting. Among the coun- ties unrepresented, were pretty near all those which, in “the good old times” of the party here, were wont to elect democratic Senators, and most of the democratic representatives. That very listless military hero, Gen- eral Apathy, who was formerly thought to be so tho- roughly wedded to whigivm as to be beyond the chance of changing his opinions, has joined our democracy, and We aflicted With au overwhelosing’deot cy c had all been sucking away at the lotheon amd rather liked both the article itself and the consequences of using it, Like the seven sleepers of Ephesus, or Rip Van Winkle, or whoever is most renowned for power to sleep for, aap, and aot anit tay bee ak ution required it.

In the mean- time, the democratic presses are acting the part of disturbers of repose, and are endeavoring to arouse the “masses” to exertion. They deserve credit for their labors, for what can be more praiseworthy than honest endeavors to accomplish impossibilities, ‘There ia about as much enthusiasm in the party now, as thereia in the skeletons in Surgeon's Hall so dul ‘are they, that the whigs jeeringly say that there will not be 25,000 democratic votes thrown in November; but whig obser- vations respecting democrats are to be ‘taken cum grano salis. Yet the utter want of life manifested by the de- mocracy, would seem to warrant this prediction of their opponents, who, however, would do well to remember a certain old proverb, which teaches the wisdom of per- mitting sleeping dogs to remain undisturbed. If demo- eracy be dead, as the whigs say it is, there can be nel- ther magnanimity nor common sense in maltreating the corpse. ‘the principal business of the Convention to meet at Worcester, will be the nomination of # candidate for Governor, Who will be the fortunate individual set up, in order that he may be voted down, it is not yet poss: ble to say. Several gentlemen have been spoken of for the place, the most conspicuous of whom are Isaac Davis, ls, and George 8. Boulwell. Mr. Davis suoceed- ed Mr. Bancroft in the candidacy, Mr. Morton having got tired of playing the part of the gentleman of Rotter- lam, who, 48 you will recollect, had so nice « cork that it kept him “running” a race as purposeless as i was unceasing. Mr, Bancroft made over to Mr. Davis ® floating capital of 64,000 votes, with which at the elections of '45 and '46, and contrived to sink number to about 31,000. Should he be run once or twice more, with similar results, the party wili get back to the point at which it started twenty years ago. It would be unjust to Mr. Davis to say that ‘he can be charged with having caused this decrease in the party’s strength. ‘The most that can be said against him is, that he does Hot possess those elements of character which enable a party to (ear up against “the pressure from with- out,” or to prevent the spread of dissensions in its own ranks. He has been a in- strument in the business, aud not an active one. He has done nothing to accelerate the decline of our de- mocracy, and justabout as much to prevent that de- cline. In short, he has done “his duty, his whole duty, and nothing but his duty.” Mr. Mills was formerly Dis- trict Attorney under the Jackson and Van Buren admi- nistrations. He is respectable in point of talent, and equally so in his social position, as is proved by the fact tat he was the only man in the party who could get the requisite bonds to fil the office of State Treas:rer, when the democracy, by some miraculous interposition, got possession of our government in 1843. I do not believe “Ir, Mills will accept the pomination,should it be tende vd him. He is too shrewd « man to allow himself to be made a vietim of Morton’s bad management and up| pularity, aud is too much of a gentleman to lead a for- lorn hope. Mr. Boutwel; is a young man, and much and deservedly esteemed by members of all parties. He has been @ conspicuous member of the legisiature for some oix or seven years, and isa thorough-going democrat in wil his idews.” in 1844 he was opposed vo the annexation of Texas, and for this and some cther reasons, he is sup- posed to be an abolitionist, though be is no more #0 than are most of our public men. Were he an abolitionist of the strictest sect, he would be the favorite of the “po- culiar” friends of the administration, all of whom are notorious for their abolition sympathies it is # curious fact, that almost every place in this State within Mr, Volk’s gift, has been bestowed upon abolitionists; and this is one of the principal reasons of the decline of democracy in this aud the other New England States. Mr, Sepator Hale, of New Hampshire, had “aid and com- fort” in his successful ouslaught ‘on the democracy of that State trom high official quarters, and the condition of the party there and here, is the legitimate result of the insane course of the President, in proscribing all the {ree trade men and constitutionulists, and conferring fa- Vors upon few save the ardent friends of protection und abolitionism—as Parmentier and Morton, for examples. The unsparing proscription of Mr. Calhoun’s friends every where, and particularly in New Hampshire, is well known, and has worked admirably—for the whigs. But | am getting away from my subject. I have reason for believing that Mr. Boutwell is not at all desirous of the nomination. Were it made clear to him that by accept- ing it he would subserve the interests of his party and the public, he would accept it, be the consequences what they might. But nothing of kind can be done, and neither he nor any other man is called upon by # seuse of honor to injure himself by hopelessly endeavoring to stem the current of misfortune and inevitable ruin brought upon the party here through the ignorance and the imbecility of the administration. General Cushing has been suggested as the democratic candidate by a correspondent of the Post, but there has been no response to tue suggestion from any quarter, and the common opinion is that the General is quite as much of a whig now as he ever was, est proot that his political sentiments have undergone any change. True, he took a conspicuous part in get- ting up the Massachusetts regiment of volunteers, and he fought the anti-war whigs in the legislature last win- ter; but so did other whigs, whom no o: poses to have changed their party relations. | believe Dir. Cush- ing is Taylorite,and more likely to attach himself to 4 new and rising party than to chivalrously throw him- self into the ranks of @ falling cause, He is a man of too much acuteness not to know the precise sti of democracy in New England, and must be convinced that it can no longer carry weight. What inducements can such @ party hold out with which to tempt an aspiring politician, who has hitherto had @ most successful ca- reer, and had it because he has always chosen his posi- tions and made his movements with no ordinary saga- city nother letter I shall pay my respects to the w! whose condition here ls not, ou esmeyoints, sanch sae of that of the democrats. Their chiet advantage is to be found in the fact, that they form « portion ot the ma- tional opposition; and the party of hope is always better uble to maintain itself than the party in possession.
