Pouicr Decision. — We give in our columns te-day, @ very curious and interesting decision of the Mayor, recently made in the 1 plaint brought by Stephen R. Thorne against Rebert W.

We annex the fol- Aowing from our correspondent:— Baw avons, June 2 1848. ‘The market for most kinds of imports is extremely | low, with constantly incrensing supplies.

Firet and ost, they should dispose of the territornal bill for Oregon. The minds of the mem- bers are fully made up as to the manner in which | they will vote, and we have had quite an abun- | dance of gas and wind on the subject. Let them come toa direct vote at once, and dispose of the matter. It has been delayed too long already. The next thing which that body oughtto do, is to provide for the liquidated Mexican claims. Many of the holders of these claims are in a state of | poverty, with their patience exhausted. After they | dispose of that, they might beneficially repeal the | pilot law of 1837, by which a great wrong has | been committed on a worthy and enterprising class | of people, and though last not least, they ought to pass the bill for the establishment of a branch mint in the city of New York. When these mattersare | disposed of, we would give them a piece of advice, | and that is, to go home and attend to their own bu- siness. This is what Congress ought to do; but we doubt very much whether it will be done. ‘There are too many politicians of the small potato genus | among them, to induce us to indulge in such a | hope. The members talx from day to day abou | the merits of this candidate, the demerits of that | one, and the want of principle in another, as if | really and truly the business of electing a Prest- | dent was plfced in their hands exclusively. This | is an hallucination; for if the members will just look at that old-fashioned instrument called the constitution of the United States, they will see that | the people elect their Presidents, and it is only on the occurrence of a certain contingency, that Con- | gess has anything to do with the matter—and then | only one branch of that body. Until such contin- gency shall have occurred, they have nothing to | do with the election farther than depositing their individual votes in the ballot boxes of their respec- | tve districts. | Wath th xplanation of the duties of members of Congress in this matter, we trust they will | cease their electioneering tricks, and go to work | | at the business before them, of which there is ! abundance, and then Havoc amone Grverits.—The nomination of | General Kearny for Brevet Major General has been rejected by the Senate im secret session. An instnuation has been thrown out that Mr. Benton put his finger to his nose and brought about this rejection in consequence of the quarrel between the General and his son-in-law, Colonel Fremont, Whether this insinuatjon be well founded or other- wise, at all events the rejection of the General forebodes no good to other military men receiving | nominations; and we should not be at all surprised tosee the whole bunch of them kicked out, neck | | and heels together. ‘These Generals and high military men have per- | formed great exploits, and been covered with | honor at the deadly breach; but when the fighting was over and the war come toan end, they seem to have outstripped each other in making them- | selves ridiculous to all the world, by their vanity, d silliness of all sorts. *Tis singu- | | foolishness, and lar, indeed, that men of ‘the lughest military talent | should thus become the completest jacka ating was over. | We much fear that all these nominations in the | Sen will end in fuss and feathe' Pert | the country willnot g t There is, 8 after aps | nould be so. | however, one portion of the Mexiczen | y whieh, as yet, hes been by far too much neg- | | lected.

These meetings acquire importance from their novelty and the purposes for which they may be used by Mr. Van Buren and his friends, in the ensuing election, and perhaps in the election which isto follow that. It is the first attempt to create a popular party in th’s country, founded on geographical difierences—an attempt which has been denounced, from the or ganization of the government, by all patriotiemer, beginning with Washington, down to the present day. In consequence of Mr. Van Buren’s disap- pointment in not getting the nomination at the Baltimore convention, he has chosen to abandon all other ideas, and to indulge in resentment and revenge ; and accordingly he has thrown himself on the fanatical materials of abolitiontsm in the North, for the purpose as well of defeating Gen Cass, as for creating a new party for himself, in order to rise again into power, in any mode or le hape. It 18 in this view, therefore, that these meetings are interesting and prophetic. Now, what was their character? Their most prominent character was a violent species of hostility between the barn- burners and the hunkers, which took place in se- veral of the wards, but particularly in the Eighth. {n many of the other wards, the meetings were at} tended but by a few persons, and of course no Noise or excitement was pere»ptible ; but in every ward or district where a general knowledge of the meeting was known, that knowledge brought men of opposing and clashing opinions, of the most violent and fanatical kind, on both sides. And the probability is, judging from those symptoms, that the great ratification meeting which is to be held in the Park next week, will partake of the same characteristics, in a more enlarged and ex- tended degree than made’ their appearance in the Eighth ward and other places. ‘The various po- litical elements which have become agitated by the movement of Mr. Van Buren, will meet on that day in the Park, in hostile array.— The clash will be great. What the result may be, it fis difficult to ascertain. The friends General Cass are naturally extremely hostile, and | feel terribly embittered against the supporters of Mr. Van Buren. The prospects of ‘teneral Cass have been blasted in their very inception—at their first budding=)y the strange movement of Mr.Van | Burcn and his friends throughout this State, and | the calling together of a convention for the pur- pose of organising a Northern party, in direct hos- tility to the Baltimore convention. This feeling will show itself at the meeting to be held in the Park next week. The collision, therefore, between | riotous; but we hope not bleody or disgraceful. | With this view of the present state of things be- tween the two factions, and the attempt to organ- | ize an abolition party for the first time in this | country, we apprehend great trouble on that day, | and we trust that Mayor Havemeyer, and the whole | of the police, and the law and order loving peogte | of New York, may be prepared to put dowa any | attempt at riot, to repress any insurrection, and keep those violent politicians in peace and order, No matter how hostile reasonable men and friends | of the Union may be to the movements of Mr | Van Buren, and to the danger accompanying that movement in ¢! orth, the right of opinion can not be interfered with—the liberty of speech cannot be thoge speech mey tend to inflame a spirit that olution of this glorious and happy Union. Reason is the weapon of conilict | with opposing opinions; but if the public peace should be invaded by the factions, then the strong urm of the industrious and sensible portion of th conimunity must put the combatants dowa—put them out of the Park, and send them home to wash ther faces and wipe their bloody noses, if they should have any. .
