The independent polaicians, and people of all classes throughout the country, have an important role to play within the next four weeks, At the end of that time, the great and absorbing question, who will be the next President of the United States, will be decided; and if they wish to see the man of their choice chosen for thathigh office, ‘The Presidential | and be the occupant of the White House for the next four years, they must be up and doing. Now is the time for them to act. The class of persen- to whom we have alluded, are peculiarly interested in Uuselection, Hither- t» they have been virtually deprived of all voice in the selection of their chief magistrate by the wie pullers attached to the various parties, who selected for them the candidates for whom they should vote, 1n nine cates out of ten those candi- dates not being the men whom they would choose, had they been permitted to exercise their own judgment in the matter. Most fortunately, how- ever, and,we may add,unexpectedly, a contingency occurred which placed within their reach an op- poriunity ef exercising the power which is mhe, rent in them by their birthnght, but the use of which, by the above mentioned means, was, to a great extent, previously denied to them. Atter the dust and smoke of the various battles in the valley of the Rio Grande, in the recent war with Mexico, were cleared away, there stood revealed a man, | whose honesty of purpose, independence of chars ter,bravery, gallantry and intellectual qualifications drew forth the admiration and wonder, not only of his own countrymen, but of the whole world, There he stood, the admired of all admirers—Ge- | neral Zachary Taylor; and the honest and inde- pendent men of all parties throughout the country spontaneously exclaimed, that man ought to fill which is now agitating the Northern States, is of a mixed complexion, with a slice of black and a | slice of white, in somewhat unequal proportions. Heretofore, most attention has been paid to the white slice, which has been represented chiefly by John Van Buren, of Kinderhook. The meeting which was held the other day in the Park—and a great meeting it was, of from seven to ten thou sand people, according to the estimates—repre- | sented only the sentiments of the white streak of abohtioniem, or the free soil movement, as 1t 1s called. The manifesto which we publish in our columns this day, which has been issued bye | colored convention, held at Cleveland, Ohio, com- prehends the views and purposes of the colored race themselves, or of the black streak of aboli- thonism in the North, It is signed by Frederick Douglas, and several other persons. Douglas, it may be remembered, has been in the newspapers an former days; has, like John Van Buren, | travelled in England some years ago, and has made himself notorious in several ways. agitaion among the colored people in the North. Originally, he was a slave in the South, but took to his heels one day, and somehow made his escape. He 1s now the great leader ef the colored abolition section of the North, and may be con- sidered as the compeer of John Van Buren, the big gun of the white section of the same party. The manifesto put toith by these colored peo) is quite a cvriosity in hteratare, philosophy shaving. In all the speeches proceedi John Van Buren, that orator generally confines | of the exclusion of slavery | sub himself to the from California, and the organization of a party atthe North, founded upon sentiments of hostility towards Southern slavery as a political or social element. John appears to be always remarkably cautious not to give any encouragement to the abolition of slavery, av it now is in the old South- But when a party shall have been ern State , ashe now stop “in md e satisfied with and make its enpport career,” the mere exclusion of slavery ia a remote territo- on the shores of the far off Pacitic ck Douglas, the leader of the other sec- itation, and belong to the tion 1p the same bluck side of the question, lets the cat out of the bag. Inthe manifesto, it seems that the colored race at the North determined hereafter to abandon shuving beards tying wunks or figher occupa blacking boots, and c their ambition is roused to ey talk of mingliag with all the institutions of wh What are whit institutions?

The movements, declarations and singular de- velopements of John Van Buren, and the white abolitionists, and also of Frederick Douglas and his colored brethren, begin to throw a good deal of light upon the future progress and purposes of thie party and its various branches, should they obtain an ascendancy in the North, and hen: forth inthe Union, Not only’will General Cass | and General Taylor\:both lose their elec- | tions to the Presideney, but hereafter the white race will have to wear thei beards at full length, and to black their own bootsys or, Jet them remain dirty. A revolution is the: ened by the new movement, stherefore, not oily political, but social, personal, ending from the crown of the head to the sole of the foot, incladiaz boots, breeches, and beards. Already, tuo, tie advocates of the free soil movement boast of being able to carry a majority of the free States. Bat whatever strength they may show next month, John Van Buren and his party are sure of carrying every thing before them in 1852. It is probably the apprehension of this state of things, as pictured on one part by John, and on the other by Douglas, which has gradually prepared the minds of the young generation to be ready to live in a short | time without barbers and book-blacks. [n the last few years the quantity of moustaches and beards has been much increased upon Broadway, and by the time that the new party comes into power, and Frederick Douglas’s sentiments in re- lation to shaving and boot-blacking ate carrried into effect, there will be mo necessity for artists of that description of either race. We certainly are living in strange times, and are witnessing singular combinations. There is John Van Buren, the son of an Ex-President, a talented, eloquent, witty white man, heading one section of a party, and Frederick Douglas, a run- away slave from the South, marshaling another section of the same party, all moving in like direction for the abolition of shaving and of boot- blacking, and to defeat General CassJand General ‘Taylor, all inalump. Well—on the 7th of next month, we shull see what will be the issue of this many-colored crusade. We will then know the fate of Taylor, Case, barbers, and boot-blacks. a Troveres in tun Danis: West Inpmes.—We By his | activity and talents, he hasbeen keeping up the | the office of chief magistrate of this nation, Their opimons and wishes found development through the independent newspaper press, and long before either of the two national conventions had assembled, General Taylor was the nominee of the country for the office of President. The politicians, ascertaining the feeling of the masses, thought, | for their own safety, that it would be better to go with the current which they could not eppose.— Hence he wae adopted at the Whig National Con- vention in Philadelphia, and made the whig can- didate for the Presidency. Previous to ths nomination, the whig papers and leadere had abused him most unmercifully; but no sooner was he nominated than they changed their tactics and porsned a totally different policy. They were as lavish in praising him after he was nominated, as they were, previo ly, m abusing him. They became at_ once | his ardent admirers, and “according to a fasion,” | gave him theirsupport. What benefit this support has been to him, our readers very we!l kaow.— They cannot but have seen that they have done him much more harm than gocd, and that were he dependent on them for his election, he would ne- ver be inaugurated President of the country. A few of them, however, held out in opposition to him longer than the majority; but, in batches of one, two, and three, they came in, until the present time, when they are all, witha very few excep tions, enrolled among his support The conduct of the whig politicians: and the whig party in adopting General Taylor, and mono- polising him as their exclusive candidate, partakes ! as much of the impudent as 1t does of the ridicu- Jous. That party, for a period of sixty years, have suceeeded in electing but two candidates by the popular vete, viz., John Adams and General Hanison; and the election of the latter was | more owing to a combination of circum. | stances operating in his favor, than te any cther cause. The revulsion in the financial, and commercial world of 1836 and °37,was the aja in- fluence that put him iz the Presidential! ¢hair. It is evident, therefore, that, by their own strength, they could notelect Gen. Taylor. But they adoptea after he was nominated by the independentmen The hero of Buena Vista, theretore, him of all parties. ndidate of the independent class of our citizens, J, if he is to be eleeted, it will be by them, and ‘not by the whig party alone: for we have seen that they are incepable of electipg, ” | candidate. ‘ We are, therefore, on thé eve of the election | or will not be the next President of the United States. The independent friends of the old hero will perceive the responsibility that 1s restingupon them. The whig leaders, whig orators, and whig journalets throughout the count:y are doing all in | their power to defeat him. Their bad imfluence | must be neutralised as much as possible, and this can only be done by his independent supporters coming out at once, and exerting themselves in his favor from the present time till the 7th of next. According to all appeardyees, the will be extremely close, as much po ds way.eleetion that has ever taken place in thisgeountry.

We are inclined to believe that the ufmo: penalty will be inflicted on that eminent patriot, if he be convicted. The masses of England and Jreland cannot, by any mode of concil tiog be made loyal to the existing form of government. They see the corruption, despotism, and. extra- vagance which characterise it; feel the @on- sequences; and, we firmly believe, will, at yo remote day, rise up in their strength and fe- A favorable stroy it opportunity is all they | want, to carry their purpose into execution, and this the government are fully aware ef— Hence, instead of conciliation, an opposite system of policy will be pursued. ‘The gallows will be rescited to, and the most prominent and influential of these who have been so unfortunate as to get within the clutches of the governinent, will be excrificed, with the view of inspiring terror into theryadherents, and preventing theirtollowiag their example, should they entertain any thoughts of doing so. ‘* No mercy” will, we think, be the word. The truth concerning the goverament—its corruption, extravagance, and despotism—has been dronk in deeply by the masses, who, in con- sequence thereof, desire a change, and are deter- mined to have it. To prevent this change taking place, will be the policy of the government ; and, to cerry it out, the gallows will be used as an in- strument. When the time comes, however, if it do come, that Smith O'Brien will be sacrificed, one burst of execration and indignation will run through the civilized world against the goverament that inflicted it. ‘They will become the scorn of learn from Captain toward that an attempted re- volution was feared at Aux Cayes.

These papers are published with the avowed intention of working on the minds of the people, and prevail- ing upon them by means of lies, cant, and blarney, to vote for General Taylor, or General Case, as the case may be. They are sent out from the offices of such papers as the Washington Unum the Courter awd Mngnirer, of this city, and others of that stamp. Now, we regard this system as one of petty piracy, and nothing else. They have the effect of damaging the interests of the small village papers, and taking the bread out of the mouths ot the editors. It isa small business, and does not de- serve encouragement. The Union, not conten- with pocketing seven and a halt dollars a column, for publishing the drowsy speeches of Senator Gog, and Senator Magog, engages in a discredit- able enterprize of small plunder and free-booting, by which the country editors‘are deprived of their legitumate business. We do not speak now of the effrontery of publishing a campaign paper, for the avowed purpose? of deceiving the public, for that is the daily vocation of all party papers; but this petty poaching on the small preserves of indus- trious and hard-working country editore, deserves to be {stigmatized as dishonest and unprincipled. To what meanness will the party papers stoop next? Laren From Brazits anp Monre Vipgo.—By the brig Marshall, Captain Lavender, we are in receipt of accounts trom Rio Janeiro to the 28th August. Our files of the Jornal do Comercio are to the 26th.
