M, tol0 Me New York, Thursday, July 19, 1549 News from Europe. The news by the steamship Caledonia is now due over the wires from St. Joha. General Cass and his Acconcheurs. ‘The long letter w Washington, on politics in general, and Webb and Greeley in particular, is an extraordinary and queer one to be produced on such an occasion, and tocome from such a man, in the present junc- ture of political matters. Mr. Webb, of this city (we don’t call him Colonel, for he never was a colonel of the regular army), after being disappointed in getting a mi sion to Spain or Berlin, consoled himself by taking a trp tothe Upper Lakes, for the purpose of look- ing after speculations in trout, or something else in that great region. On his way to those lake: he stops a few days in Detroit, visits Gen. Cass, the defeated candidate of the locofocos at the last election, dines with him, drinks a few glasses of | wine, telks with great fluency, ond listens to | equally fluent talk from the General, on all the | topics ot the day, and, immediately afterwards, | sits down and writes an accountot this gossi mixed up with the wine and the walauts, for pub- | lication in the racy columas of the Courter §& En- | quirer. On this, Master Fourier Greeley makes very sober and philosophical comments, endeavor- ing to show from this after dinner version of the opinions of General Cass, as compared with some former letiers of his, that the distinguished ex- candidate of the locofocos is a very inconsistent politician, a very insincere man, and almost as double-faced as some of the distinguished states- men of New York, such as Martin Vaa Buren or W. H. Seward. To correct those aspersions on | his character, General Cass, in his cool moments, deems it necessary to come out in a long and te- | dious letter, endeavoring to show the consistency of his pelitical notions in all times past, and the errors, both in narrative and inference, which had been made by his visiter, Webb, and his commen- tator, Greeley. Here was the error which Geaeral Cass com- mitted—to give any consequence at all to the after dinner recollections of an editor, who thought more of the disappointment which he received at ‘Washington than of any political opinions or any | consistent notions with regard to public questions h Gen. Cass has written to | ed into this service, and everything reveals anew step in advance on this question. General Cass, therefore, is getting a little be- hind the age, and behind the present movements in the political world, if we judge from the good sence and practical tone of his recent letter, cor- recting the gossip which Mr. Webb, our cotem- porary, picked up at the dinner table in Detroit, published in his columns here, and which has been misrepresented by Mr. Greeley, another cotem- porary. General Cass must be content to go iato retirement, if he do not choose to become a fana- tie, an anti-slavery man, aman that will sit down coolly, and (uke ground against the extension of slavgiy, and give it as his opinion that the time is rapidly approaching ,when slavery and the social system of the Southern States must be entirely and completely abolished. General Cass must here- after go into retirement—and his fagleman here, John M’Keon, may have to follow suit. ‘Tur Coatrvion Movements or tHe New York Drmocracy.—The democrats of this State—the barnburners on the one side, and the hunkers on the other—are very busy, about these days, electing delegates, to meet at Utica onthe 15th of August next, for the purpose of arranging a coalition and union between the two factions at the approaching State elections, and by these means endeavoring to acquire the ascendancy, and the spoils again, in this State. On Tuesday evening, the barnburners held a pre liminary meeting, and selected their delegates from each Assembly district. Yesterday evening, we believe, the hunkers, whose head-quarters are at ‘Tammany Hall, met in the same way, for the pur- pose of electing their delegat Each faction* sends an equal number ot delegates, from every section of the State, to the convention at Utica; and there they will consult together, deliberate up- on their position and prospec:s, create a new plat- form of political faith, and endeavor to unite to- plishment of their own purposes. If both these | parties should manage their cards in such a way as | to be able to coalesce, the conventions which have | been called by each faction, to meet on different | days in the month of September, will be headed off, | and not be held. The 15th of August convention will then nominate the State candidates, and agree | upon future measures and principles, and unite | their forces tor all future raids upon the suffering | people. 1wo factions can unite, down to the rank and file, | throughout the State. Ilitherto, the points of sepa. | ration have evidentiy been those growing out of | the dispute upon the Wilmot proviso, and on the question of slavery. These, however, are but a pretext, to a certain extent. The late presidential election was the real cause of dispute, arising from the discontent of Mr. Van Buren and his friends, atthe nomination of General Cass by the Balti- more convention, The defeat, therefore, of Gen. Cass, has removed the great obstacle from the minds of the barnburners; and that faction will now be ready to muke a coalition, for the purpose of getting the ascendancy, as a united democracy hereafter. They will probably mot care much about the means, if they can only attain their object. But from the manifestations we see around us, we are persuaded that the barnburners of this State, and in the other adjoining States, are pre- pared hereafter to go the whole figure in favor of abolitioniem ; and they will do thisin order to ob- tain a complete ascendancy in the various move- ments which ere to take place im various States. Il, therefore, the hunkers do not take care at this August convention, they will be swallowed up by the barnburners, and made hewers ot wood and drawers of water for a clique of politicians who would net scruple to violate the constitution, and to interfere with the social institutions of the South, in order to be able to carry out their owa purposes on a future occasion. John Van Buren, heretofore, has been the great gun of the barn- burners, and John McKeon the pocket pistol of in any quarter whatever. It Mr. Webb deemed it necessary to pick up the political ideas ot Generaj | Cass, while the latter was entertaining him at | dinner in Detroit, he should at least have abstained to a certain extent from taking too much wine, in | order that he could reeollect those ideas correctly, | and report them with accuracy through his | columns to the world at large. But we rather | think that this system of dining with a distin- | guished politician, picking up his notions, and misrepresenting therm to the world, is not exactly the thing, although in the confusion of mind which disappointment ia obtaining a foreign mission may create, such things may sometimes be expected, | excused, and epologized for. Mr. Webb has therefore a valid excuse. | Atall events, if it were werth the trouble of ex- planation at all, General Cass has now done it | effectually, and must have satisfied every person | that his political opinions heretofore, and at the | present time, are as consistent,and certainly, in | comparison with the opinions of other political | men, more consistent than those of many others | who make a greater noise in the world. On the | tariff and interaal improvement questions we have never known General Cass to entertain any other | opinions than those which he has now enunciated. As to the matter of the Wilmot proviso, he stands in precisely the same attitude whieh he has here- | tofore oecupied, and what is more singular still, it is exactly the same as that which Mr. Benton holds in Missouri, notwithstanding all the neise that has been made about his coming out in favor of the non-extension of slavery to the new ter- | ritories. But all those issues are becoming old and stale. If General Cass remains on the platform which he | has sketched in his last letter, ke will soon be left behind, and be lost sight of, in all future political movements. Throughout the free States of this republic, the question of slavery, looking to the ultimate abolition, is beginning to be broached, discussed and talked of by all factions,and by some ‘of the leading men of the day. In this State Mr. Van Buren and the barnburners are gradually coming out and taking the same ground which Garrison and the other anti-slavery agitaters in New England have held for some years past; Senator Seward and his clique have for some time past occupied a strong anti-slavery ground, looking an the satne direction, and are only waiting for an opportunity to make another distinct step in ad- vance. In Kentucky and Missouri, a species of the same agitation and the now under way. lieary ( knife Olay in Kentucky, are also engaged in the same | matter as that which occupies in a different shape the attention of Mr. Benton in Missouri In short, the political men of the free States, in order to accomplish partial triamphs in their se. veral localities, are stimulating, exciting, and rousing up the anti-elavery feeling among all ranks end all classes in this re; feeling and a movement, which will ultimately crush, | } | if soe ' suaded into the fui the hunkers. What position will they hold here- after? Trovne amona THe Socratists.—The letters written from the different watering places recently, appearing in our columns, and describing the taste, fashion, and accomplishments of the elegant society which assembles in those places of fashion- able resort, have, it seems, produced immense an- noyance, and caused a terrible disturbance amoag our amiable friends, the socialists, the red repub- licans, and all that description of persons who wear cowhide boots and old hats in this neighborheod. The Honorable Massa Greeley is so angry at our | animated and poetic description of ladies and dresses at Saratoga and Newport, that he is almost | ready to jump out of his old pantaloons, to tear in pieces his old drab coat besides, and to trample in the dust his old white hat, which has been re- vomped and touched up by Knox, at least half a dozen times during the last three years. “Incuflerable puppyism,” “indigmty, grossly of- fensive,” “ outrage upon decency,” are some of the moderate and elegant terms which our modern re- for gant and accomplished description of elegant, ac- | complished and well-mannered persons at our well conducted watering pleces. Well, well. We are sorry that the nerves of Massa Greeley and his socialist coterie are so much discomposed by our descriptions. We think | y at Saratoga and Newport could be per- | hion which prevails among the socialists of Paris or of New York, all trouble would be removed from the sensiuve hearts ef those who now complain. If young ladies, instead | of wearing elegant and accomplished habiliments, would stroll through the streets of Saratoga or Newport in old shoes down at the heels, with | jaded bonnets, half awry on their faces, or with their garments thrown over their bodies, without any regerd to propriety, decency or taste—then, we to eay, the taste of these Fourierites would be Tichly gratified, and their expectations would be raised, that at least those happy days were coming | when the cemmunity of property, of persons, and of sexes, would ell be realized. The letter-writers belonging to this establish- ment, who write from the watering places, are gentlemen of taste, refinement and capacity. They see no peculiar advantage in cowhide untanned | boots, nor do they expect that much attention would be attracted by a deecription of persons who | wander about the world with one leg of their pan- tuloons inside their boots and the other leg out- eae. | Costom Horei.—The bustle around the white | building has greatly decreased. We do not see so mony anxious faces now in that vicinity. It is enid al! the appointments to be made till September have been je.

Now, we do not see why Wood’s punishment should not be commuted likewise. It is true, he is an Irishman and in some quarters that may be considered en aggravation of the offence, and he is also a white man, which may likewise be con- sidered an aggravation in the present state of the public mind in regard to anti-slavery. But taking every thing into consideration, we think the Governor ought by all means to commute the sentence of Wood, and treat him with the same benevolence and consideration as he did the case of Jones. There was a great deal of blood shed in front of the Astor Place Theatre, on the tenth of May last, and as the sacrifice of life on that oc- casion was applauded by many of those benevo- lent individuals, who have been soliciting the commutation of the sentence of this culprit, we think this should be another inducement for the kind Governor to exert his prerogative and to try and strike a balance on the red account of blood, accerding to the ethics and morals of this city, as adjudicated upon by men im authority. Persons collecting around the Astor Place Theatre, on the particular night referred to and crowding in the way, might be shot down freely by the soldiery called out for the occasion. Such courage, bravery, and determination, as were exhibited on that melancholy occasion, brought forth the ap- plause ofall Europe, and therefore it is right and proper, that although the chief magistrate of the city filled up the goblet of blood in the Astor | Place riots, the chief magistrate of the State should now, that he has [the chance, fill the goblet with the milk of human kindness and let the poor Inshman escepe. We hope the Governor will ex- tend mercy in this case. Farner Matnew.—The Apostle of Temperance has administered the pledge to about fifteen hundred in | Brooklyn, since our last returns, making in all about | nine thousand in that city. He yesterday visited at | Mauhattan, the establishment of the Sisters of the Sa- ered Heart, in company with the Right Rev. Dr. Hughes, This morning he commences the administra- tion of the pledge in this city, at the large school room attached to St, Patrick's cathedral, in Mulberry street, the Bishop having invited him thereto. His intention was to have given the pledge in St Poter’s church: Barclay street, and te have remained at the house of Dr. Pise during his stay in this city.

Besides, in a large pro- portion of this district there is a want of Croton wa- ter. The pipes, however. are now being laid.
