We will give the remainder of the letters as soon as room can be made for them. itis to be recollected that these letters do not come under the head of the “Trist Corres: pondence ” ‘Khe Position of the United States, Some of our contemporartes have taken ex ception to the views We have given, defining the position of the United States, in reference to the French revolution, and the events which may spring from that great fact, among the coun- tries of Europe. In our opinion, the Mexican war havisg been terminated by the treaty of peace, it was advisable for the United States at once to turn their attention to the events of the Old World, and to take such a position, and adopt such measures, as would place them be- youd the reach of those conflicts in Europe being of avy detriment to our commerce or trade, in any part of the world. We advised Congress to enlargg the naval service, and to take measures fer constructing, as soon as possible, ten or twenty steamships of the line, to be used as packets, until the emergency called them out for public purposes. ‘These views have been termed absurd by some, aud have been ridiculed by others. Ignorance and presumption are probably the best excuses for those minds which can deal out such epitheis to suggestions sanctified by the experi- ence of halfa century. Look back at the history of this country, from the time of the first French revolution, and mark the events which track that history up to the war with England, in the year 1812. The great conflicts in Europe, which lasted for eo many years, et the close of the last and the beginning of the present century, ne- cessarily brought many of those governments into collision with the position of the United States, which affected our commerce, our trade, and our maritime rights, in every pert of the world. The atrocities committed on American commerce, gave birth to the war of 1812, be- tween England and the United States. Even the French government of those days—both repub- lican and imperial—trespassed on those rights; and it was only within the last few years, under athreat {ulminated against therecent govera- ment of France by General Jackson, that Louis Philippe was compelled to do us justice, and tc pay for those outrages committed during the conflicts that took place then in Europe. It in those days the United States had pos- sessed as much physical power as she cun wield now, if she chooses, many of those outrages would never have been committed ; and the war between the United States ¢ England might have been prevented, by abs nee, on the part of England, to inflict injury and insult on Amen- can commerce. We are now in a different position. Weare a great, a growing, a rich, and a powerful people. We ought to take a proper position in the world, at this important crisis in European afluirs. We need not depart from a dignified neutral position; but we ought to be in @ position of strength on the ocean to command the respect of all partiee, and be able, | at the sume time, to express sympathy with those | movements that ere similar to the popular ineti- | tutions of our owa land. If euch views are absurd and ridiculous, we are willing to bear the infamy, in all its length and breadth, and to make it even a monopoly by | act of the Legislature or of Congress. | ‘Tux QuaRre.s or Tak Poriticrans.—We have already noticed briefly the disruption which hes | taken place in the democratic party in this State growing out of the Wilmot proviso—a disruption which has been made for political purposes, and which will be extended to other Northern States, for like purposes. The whig party, it appeare, is also in & sinnler dilemma to that of the demo- crate. Its two chief organs in this city—ihe Tribune and the Courier and Enquirer—are very busy in dividing their party, and disorganizing i as much as they can, between the two candidates —Clay and Taylor. We should not be at oll surprised to see a great disturbance and disorganization among the | whige, extending itself even to the great couven- | tion to be held in Philade!phiain June next. Nor do we care bow much beth these paries may quarrel among themselves, and be divided. We like it, rather, The probability is, that if the politicians in both these great factions ehould agree to quarrel together, the people would stand | a better chance of getting a gocd President, and of establishing a better government thay even that of Mr. Polk, which, to be sure, is pretty fair in its way—about half and half, in point of honesty and good intentions; but very dear and high priced. Before the present ses- sion of Congress termina es, similur quarrels will prevail in that body, and anything we cen | doto help them along, we will do most cheer- | tully. We hope the quarreisome members of Congress will not spare each other in their ebuse The more violent and abusive, the more readable it is. A blackguard, witty M.C., con sidered in the light of a piece of newspaper property, is worth aix, or even a dozen, quiet, re- ppectable, discreet members. ‘ | says, Farxer MattHew, STILL RECKONED UPON 43 comine.--The venerable Father Matthew, the great apeztle of temperance in Ireland, hes written auother letter,addressed to Mr. McGrath, secretary of the Roman Catholic Total Absti- nence Soctety of this city, eschewing all gin and strong liquors. The following is the let- ter :— Coax, 23d February, 1848. Dear Mr. McGreth—To you and the gentlemen of the committee I feel deeply grateful for the sentiments expressed towards me on behalf of the members of | your society Tam much fpuited by the assurance that my hunble 10 hig! not at merit to myself. The wonderful charge that bas been effected is the work of the Right Hand of the Most High God, and is admirable in ourey: It will be @ great sacrifice to me to @ Ire! co-operotion of our seered caure will proceed ond prosper. With regard to my movements in America, I sm free until my arrivat in New York, when I shall consult with my frien’s on the rubject 1 anxiously look forward t leasure of meetic; ime in May; and, you and my other dear frien with since rest w isbes for your and their bappiness, I am my dear Mr. McGrath, yours devotediv, ‘THEOBALD MATTHEW. The Tribune, which publishes the letter, addition, that Father Matthew comes to work, and not to cat at splendid dinners and ride out in great men’s coaches. He will not accept the hospitalities of the great and the honors of the distinguished. ‘This refusal is siguificant of the idea which ouramiable contem- porary entertains of Father Matthew’s opinions and mission. This miesion, it appears, is to his own peeple—the natives of Erin, or those of Irish origin—to reclaim them from intemperanee—to teach them to drink water, and, probably, to learn them to vote for the whig candidate, if possible. We rather think, however, that the air and scenery of this country are almost as good as anytemperance lectures, from any quarter of the world. The Irish who come to the United States soon improve in their habits, and soon forsake those which they may have acquired in their native country, of political agitation and whiskey drinking, mixed together with brandy and water. Give a man plenty of work, plenty ot employment, and liberty of thought, together with the means of rising in the world, and you take from him the inducements which lead him to disgrace and abuse himself and his offspring by the rum excitements. There may be excep- tions, it is true; but what we have said will hold good as a general rule. Suppreseton or THE Mopgt Artists -~Atlength public opinion and moral sentiment have carried the day. Tne model artists are suppressed tor the present. The Grand Jury have indicted all these exhibitions, They are all ehut up, with the exception of one or two, which resisted, and the proprietors of them have been arrested and imprisoned, and will be tried, and convicted, and exposed, and pardoned, and patroniz d, and start again iresh and clean, The rise, growth, progress, and extreme li- centiousnesa, Jatterly, of those exhibitions, would form a curious history in the domestic manners and morals of this magnificent and audacious metropolis. For years these exhibi tions haveexisted in Paris, London, and: other large cities in Europe; but they have always been under the excellent control of the police, and were never allowed to extend themselves beyond a certain degree of decency and propriety. The petticoat was cut by the police. In this free land, however, where the laws affeeting social liberty are extremely lax, it takes gome time to work on the moral sentiment of the community. in orderto bring itto act on our manners, and bring about decency after it is departed from. We are glad, however, that at length it has ac- complished its purpose in peace and quiet. But while we express these feelings on the euppreseion of the model artists, we must sepa- rate that class of exhibitions from those really connected with the higher ranks of the fine arts. The Greek Slave of Powers preceded these ex- hibitions, and many fastidious persons denounced that sublime and etherial work of art, without cause, und without reason. Next followed Collyer’s model artists, which were certainly beautiful, avd marked with propriety during their first engagement. Then commenced the deplorable and lamentable licentious move- ment, which has ended in their suppression. We ere constrained, however, to say, that the demoralization of those exhibitions has been aided and assisted by many of those old res;ectable scoundrels, who exist in every large city, and whose imagiaations are the most cor- rupt acd atrocious that can possibly be imagined; while at the same time they pass before the rest of the community as pivus;religious, philosopli- cal thinkers—members of temperance societies, patrons of pious institutions, and other societies ofalike kind. At many of those exhibitions re- cently—and in their worst charic.er too—we are informed that ex-mayors, ex-aldermen, ex-bank- ers, and many of those who may be considered ex-clergymen and ex- parsons, have actually been seen to enter, pay their money at the door, and take away the worth of their money by looking at those licentious sights. The trial which is to take place will, probably, bring forth as wit- nesses, some of those highly reverend scoun- drels, who to gratify their passions for the mo. ment, would pay@heir money for such sights, and then raise a hue and cry about morality and religion. These exhibitions may be classed with the shocking demoralization which grew vp about twenty years ago in this city, when the Jirst at- tempt was made to give maequerades at the the- tres.’ In one winter these masquerades, which commenced modestly and with great propriety, were run into all kinds of extravagance, so that they had to be euppressed by the Legislature Now, however, private masquerades are giver, and are conducted with great propriety; and we have heard of several, the present season, which heve been marked with as much elegance and refinement es the choicest masquerades given ia the first circles of London and Paris. Sincutan Acr or tue Assempry.—The tele- graph ofyesterday brought us news ot the pas- sage (by the Assembly) of an act nominally to re-organize the ward courts of thie city; but in effect calculated to destroy them. This is «# very hasty and imprudent piece of legislation, to say the least of it. The present ward or city courts have hitherto worked remarkably well; and the mode of transacting business there, within the last two years, has been greatly im proved and expedited. Where, then, the neces sity for this sweeping change? That some further reformsin our city courts may be, per- hops necessary, we admit; but then it should never be done without due deliberation, which this measure has not had, but has been rushed through under the party lash; and we sincerely hope that the Senate will thoroughly investigate oll its details, and not by any meaas pass it in the hasty and careless manner the Assembly has done. Opening or Navigation on Tue Nort River —Navigation on the North River opens, this year, sixteen days earlier than it did in 1847, when the steamboat Columbia first reached Albany, on the 7th of April. The first boat through this year, was the Admiral, Capt Hitchcock, who made fast to the dock, at Albany, at 4 o'clock on Tues- day, P. M, 2st inet. The river opens, at the present time, under the most favorable cireum- stances, the ice moving down quietly, causing no damage, wd no freshet prevailing at the time. Tne Mexican Commisstonzn —Co].

Summary. F We received by telegraph, last evening, @ briet synopsis of the speech delivered by Mr Webster, on the loan bill, in the Senate, yester- day. Mr. W. 18 represented as having been, on this occasion, unusually eloquent and impressive He occupied three hours time in the delivery of his remarks. Mr. W. confined a portion of his speech to an ‘elaboration of the views before | expressed by him in some preliminary observa- tions on the treaty, respecting th2 coutemplated acquisition of territory from Mexico. He ex- pressed his repugnance to the measure in forci- ble language; and, in illustration of one of its evils, stated that the Mexican territory proposed | to be acqniyed would, with the Siate of Texas, be capable of subdivision into seven States, and | thus be entitled to furnish fourteen members to the Senate, from a population of only 290,000. Ile regarded this inequality ef representation as calculated to engender the most serious conse- quevees to the Union—and he enlarged upon its fatal results with great power and emphasis. Mr. Hannegan has the floor for to-day, when the other side of the question will, doubtless, also receive able exemplification. Inthe House, the appropriation bill was discussed, and a proposi- tion mode and agreed to, that the arrears of pay due d:cessed members should be paid to their widows. The Legislative proceedings, market repor's, &c., will be tound below. | _———— Further from Mexico. Aveusta, Ga., March 23, 1848.

The boiler of the iron foundry of Messrs Cur- tis & Randall, of East Boston, exploded at twen- ty mninutes past one o’clock this afternoon, and instantly killed the engineer and dangerously wounded five er six others. one of whom has since died. It blew the root from off the build- ing. and knocked down the side wall. The cause of the explosion is supposed to have arisen from an exhaustion of the water in the boiler while the workmen were gone to dinner. When they came back the engineer starteu the force pumps to fill the boiler, and an immediate and di tul explosion followed. THINZIETH CONGRESS, FIRST S&S ION.

THE LOAN BILL. Mr. AtHeaton, chairman of the Committee on Fi- nance, moved totake up the Loan Bill, which was agreed “Mr. Wrasren having the floor, he proceeded to éa- drers the Senate at corsiderable length. He said the country suppored that they bad been engaged for a fortnight with closed coore in ratifying @ treaty which would give us substantia! acd cuduring peace—rtauach the wounds inflicted by the war—stop the ¢ffusion of biood—cut off our exhaurting expenses, permitting return of our friends and children, if yet living, from the land of slaughter.

The French Revolution, A numerous assembly of German citizens took place, last night, in the large and splendid Hall of Mechanics, in Hester street, for the purpose of making a public demonstration of sympathy and concurrence in the recent revolution of Paris. Atan early hour crowds began to pour into the room, and, long before the time an- nounced for meeting, the spacious apartment was filled to overflowing; ‘the utmost enthusiasm was manifested ia favor of France. The utmost joy and admiration was expressed for her brave people, and an intense feeling of excitement per- vaded the whole assembly. At about eight o’clock the meeting was called to oder by Mr. Aherns, who nomiuated Jacob Uhl, Esq , editor ofthe Stea's Z-itung, a8 chairman of the meeting.
