She was then in her twelfth day. The Her- mann had net arrived at this port when the Herald ‘was seat to press this morning. She is in her six- teenth day. We may expect to receive news from one or both of theee steamers at any moment. The Charter Election. There will be a very interesting experiment tried in thie city on Tuesday next—one which will de- cide whether the people, who have so long suffered * from the machinations of professional politicians, are willing to make an effort to emerge from the degrading position of slaves, or whether they have really lost all sense of self-respect, and are content jo remain as they are. On that day the amended charter will be submitted to them for their adop- fion or rejection, and we shall see what course they will take. We understand that an organiza- thon has been formed of politicrans—of men who have been feeding on the corruption and waste that have characterized the administration of our municipal affairs for a number of years past—who are determined, if possible, to perpetuate the existing condition of things, by defeaung the new charter. ‘We hope our citizens will not allow them to suc- ceed. But to prevent them from doing 80, they Youst vote on the day of election in favor of the measure. In speaking of the ensuing election, the Cowrier and Enguwer states that the dispensation of the patronage of the national administration will be flected by it, and that the permanent well being ot the whig party demands that the whigs put forth their whole strength. This 1 all fudge. It 1s not on these aecounts that the election on Tues- day next is an important one. What has the weil being of the whig party, or the dispensation of the patronage of the national administration, to do with the management of our municipal aflatra? Iti the question’ot reform, as it is propered to the people by the new charter, which makes this an important election. It that charter be adopted, we shall have some prespect ot the reform which ‘we so muuch need, and if it be reyected, we shall for an indefinite time to come, be cursed with filthy streets, and be borne down by heavy taxes, Be we ale at present. Soe ism anp Common Sgvsx.—GR¥ELKY AND Banuyprt.—It is an inexplicab.e mystery, the zeal with which some men labor to destroy the happi- Ness of their fellow creatures and the good order of society, by overthrowing all the laws which sustain end regulate every community, and pre- vent men from degenerating into savages. Of all pects wnich have ever spiung up, aiming at the destruction of human society by the propagation of falee, dangerous, and atrocious dectrines, we look ‘upon the Socialists, or Communists, or Fourterites, or whatever they may be called, as ameng the most dangerous. The reason why we are led to entertain this view of their tendency, is not 80 much from the nature of the doctrines they teach— for these doctrines are absurd and ridiculous enough— but fiom the dece;tion, the art, the false- hood, and the flatteries, which they practise in bringing forward insidiously their destructive views. In the firet place, they assume the garb and the pretence of being the most devoted and tae epecial and exclusive friends of the operative tad laboring man. Their next step 1s, to iaculcate envy, jealousy, and discontent, into the minds of ti who labor, and are not yet rich, by representing to them, that those who are become rich by honest juéuetry and virtuous labor in the career open to all, are their enemnes, and are thieves and robbers. Their next step i, to flatter and persuade them that they, the benevolent, tond, loving Socialists, have found ovt a panacea—that they have dis- covered » 8) 61em by which the laboring and opera- tive clesees of the community will obtain ease, plenty, end abundance, without labor and care, or at least with very htule. Thus, the very first step in their eystem, is to infuse bitterness and discon- fut nto society, to make those who have nothing, he enemies of thove who have something, and to destroy emulation and individual enterprise, the keystones of the arch which holds together al! human cociety These doctrives of Socialiom were first biosehbed in France, and they have met with e@ zealous spose im this country, who, by means ci them, and by putting himself for- werd ws the erpecial and sole friend of the cyerative and luboring classes, has raised himeelt 10 & certain position of notonety and com fort. A short time ago, a curious and interesting little book was published by a genuemanot this wity, Mr. Barhydt, upou the subject of politcal economy, in which an admirable and just exposi- tion was made of the ridieulcus absurdities which the cect of Socialiets hes been mdalgiag in forthe Jct few yew It seems Mr. Barhydthas given mortal cfence to the conductor ot the Tribwne pd the yieat teacher of Socialism in this country, by the able und lucid manner in which he has ex- Posed, in this book, the fallacies and false reason- ingeot the Sociulicts. Kor this offence his book hee be ked, under the pretence of eriticism, with mahgoiry, spleen, malice and false re- Preset ‘lone of ie views, of which an infuriated and exyosed Socinliet was eapable. This is cer- tainly not @ feir acd honest way of supporting a system which has only to be known and fairly een, without disguise, to excite the contempt and bbhorrence of every good and honest member of Fociety. Siudiously #¢ the Socialisteund their ad- vocate te Ty2bwne concenl their real views aud doctrines irom the American people in general, Yetas we bave seen in France, and as is well koown to every one who bas examined the subject, the foundaucn of Svcialisin 6 merely 4 species of Avhewm., The bosw of the system, and ite alu. mate aim and tendency, is to destroy all religion, to tear down all the ancient bulwarks of Christian society, and to reduce the comomnity to a mere race ef brotee and machines. This it woulddo by destroying enterprise and the stimulus of indt- vidual energy and necessity, by taking away the nececsity of idivieual exertion, and reducing the members of every society te the situation of lazy, well-ted lazaroni, without motive to labor and exertion, withcut necessity of care, frugality, and foresight, and in fact without any ove single incentive to impel them onward to noble pursuits, or to prevent them from indulgence, sloth, and grose sensuality! Such a state of so- ciety as these men would establish, it is frightful even to centemplate. As society is now consti- tuted, whoever will labor and be industrious aad prudent, cannot fail not merely to live and tobe comfortable, but to prosper. The vicious and the criminal alone suffer from their ewntolly. But on the socialist plan all are to be rendered equal, and reduced to one level of equal feeding and ia- @ction—the vicious and the criminal are to lose the fear of their just reward, and the industrious and prudent are to lose all motive to practise the virtues which insure prosperity. Nw wonder, therefore, the Tribune has attacked Mr. Barhydt and his treatise, for the sound, just, and common-sense views which hia little book contains. Toundeceive the community by teaching sound principles, and setting forth cor-ect views, je naturally the greatestof crimes in the eyes of those, whoever they may be, whose aim is to de- ceive their fellow creatures,and to endanger the happiness of the human family, by sepping the foundations of religion and morality, and rooting out all the effective incentives to individual indas- try and exertion. Mr. Barhydt’s book is calcu. lated to render a real service to society, by the soundness ef its viewe, and the regard it exhibits for these sound principles, without which society would become another ehaos, and mankind a race of brutes preying upon and destroying one another. Revoivtion on THs Continent.—In this age of revolution and change-—this period of transition and of reform—every indication of restlessness or uneasiness eviaced by the governed towards their governors, in apy part of the world, 1s a matter of great interest and importance, nearly as much as was the first French revolution, at the time when it occurred. Since that period of the world’s history, or, rather, aince the successful struggle to throw off the British yoke was made inthe Ame- rican colonies, a decided change in men’s minds, on the subject of government, has been gradually but surely going on. Within the period named, the cont:nent of Europe has been agitated as the sea by a violent storm, on the billows of which, kings, queens, and despots of every grade, have been tossed like so many caske; the calm which succeeded the inde- pendence of the United States was not broken tor nearly half a eentury. But the horizon is obscur- ed by dark clouds, which threaten every day to let loese their fury. No one can tell what evena single day may bring forth here. Canada is mpe for revolt and independence. The friends of change, and separation from England, are marshal- ling their forees and placing them in battle array; the outposts of the enemy have been driven in, and soon the shock of battle will reverberate through- out the continent. Canada, however, is not the only portion of America that is destined to experience the throes of revolution, and to be blessed with the benefits of democracy. Low but distinct murmurings are wafted to us by every wind from the extreme South. From what has recently occurred in the em- pire of Brazil, we have good ground for believing that the massesthere, too, are discontented, and that before many years shall have elapsed, thatbeautiful region, 8o bountifully provided by nature, will be a republic. Discontent and dissatisfaction are spread- ing very rapidly there, according to all accounts, and already two distinct but separate efforts have been made to establish a democracy, in lieu ot the empire. Those attempts have, to be sure, been unsuccessful; but the number cf the parties engaged in them, thows that they are sympathized with, if not eneouraged, by many more. All of the com- bustion of a volcano 1s not seen 1n the flame which iesues from its mouth. The present form of government in Brazilis a constitutional monarchy, with which, however, there are broad democrat:c elements intermixed. In fact, in its practical operation, the government is almost as much democratic as that of the Uni- ted States. It the Emperor and the members of the Imperial Senate, were elected by the people, and the show of royalty which is kept up were abolished, it would be as unobjectionable as our system ot government. Probably theese are the changes which the revolutionary patty are endeavoring to achieve. It will be seen, by the recent movements in that country, that the revolutionary contagion 1s spread- ing all over the world, and that the American con. tinent is destined to feel ite influence, in both Canada and Brazil, at no very distant day. As for Canada, no one knows what a day may bring forth.

The mejorty of the compavy beiag from this city, much anxiety has been felt by their friends to learn the truth of the rumors 1n circu lation. In the New York Legislature, quite a large num- ber of important bills were passed, of which the following 18 an abstract:—In the Senate, the bill lumiung the amount of damages for injuries received on railroads ; the bill tor continuing the society for the relief of aged indigent femules ; a bill creating a fund for the Stockbridge Indians; a bill appro- priating $5,000 to the Buflalo Hospital ; the gene tal tax bill for New York city ; a bill allowing the construction of docks in Wallabout bay; the Literature Appropriation bill; and a bill prohibi- ing the manufacture and sale of the eluog shot. In Astembly, the following bills were passed :— Te allow the Harlem Railroad Cempany to con- struct an iron bridge across the Harlem river; to organize a company in New York for establishiag public bathing heuses. The House concurred with the Senate's amendments to the Panama Railroad bill. Several ether important measures were debated, for the particulars of which we refer to our despatches. The Alms House bill has received the signature of the Governor. From Washington we have various important rumors in reference to the cabinet of General Taylor.

WEBB’S CALIFORNIA EXPEDITION To NEW ORLEANS. we ~ Names of those Who Died of Cholera. dic. dic. dic, Bartimone, April 6, 1849. The New Orleans Picayune of the 29th gives the fol- lowing account relative to Col. Webb's Califernia ex- peditio; The company left New Orleans in the steamship Globe, on the 4th inst , all in good health, en reute for California vic Brasos Santiago and itio Grande. They arrived at the lutter port on the 8th, aud om the came dey proceeded up the river. They reached in safety, in two days afterwards, an encampvent ground imm diately opposite Clay Davie’s rancho or village, and there pitched their tents, being on Mexican territery. That evening, the cholera broke out amongst them, and among those attacked, onemandied ; meat day, three others fell victims to th: se, which had spread alarmingly among the company, developing it- relf in ite most awful type. The followfmg dsy four more were carried off, ‘and consternation, among the survivors, of whom @ large proportion was more or less affected by the tame morbid symptoms, became general. Complete disorganisation of this unfortunate company fol- lowed. Colonel Webb, who had probably not dreamed of the extent te which the ravages of the cholera were destined to go, left the encampment the day after its formation, and accompanied by medical mam and an interpreter, prcoveded up the river for the alleged purpose of purchasing males for the ure of his company. Mr. Audubon, the business agent of the association, was left in charge, and w the malady became so grave, he immediately gave orders to break up the en- campment, hurry'ng forward those who were still in health, and remaining behind himeelf with the sick, and a few attendants, to minister to their necessities. Seventeen members of the company, on the third day after cholera had declared itself, returned to Brasos, where they met Isaac H. Williamson, of New Jersey, end H.C. Mallory, of New York, two other members of the company, whe had been detained at New Or- Jeane, and were then en route to rejoin their comrades on the Rio Grande, having left this city with stores for the company. On last Sunday week, 18th instant, the whole of these gentlemen, except Mr. Mal lory, returned forth. with to this city on the steamship Globe, whioh arrived yesterday frem Bresos. Mr. Audubon, it appears, during the preva of the disease, (with which he also was attacked ) hed his saddle bags, as a measure of safety, taken from beneath bis bed by bis attenda: carried scross the river, and placed in charge of the bar-keeper of s hotelin Clay Davis'srancbo. The bags contained twelve thoa- send dollars in gold. When Mr. Audabon reclaimed his property, the barkeeper stated that it hed been delivered to a member of the eompaay. T! ing clearly an evasion, the barkeeper was arrested, aad threatened with summary punishment in case he did not reveal what bad become of the The man was steadfast, notwithstanding a rifle was placed to his bead. Having been attacked with cholera. how- ever, his obstinacy gave way under the fear of ap- prosching death, and he confessed that 4 another man had divided the contents of the saddle bags, a: the same time indicating the spot where a portion of it was buried. Four thousand dellars were thus recovered. The se- eomplice of the barkeeper was also taken into custod, Dut his atubbornece was proof alike against solicitati and menace. A loaded rifle was presented to his head, @ watch drawn forth, and he was told that unless he declared what he had done expiration of a given tim He fariously tore his shirt bosom opem and bade th fire and be d——d. This is the substance of the information we have received. It comes from The following is a list of those who returned in the Globe yesterday:— Or New Youx-Gerardus B.
