Our readers will find, in another part of to-day’s paper, a highly important document, which has been addressed to the people of Canada by the members of the Dritish League, which recently eonvened at Kingston, for the purpose of taking the present condition of Canada into considera- | tion, and adopting measures for isiproving the | eommercial and manufacturing interests of those provinces. It isa plain, calm, and unostentatious paper, and will no doubt have great influence on the minds of those to whom it is addressed, and may bring about, at some late or early day, before the day of judgment, the measure which is pro- posed by the League for benefitting Canada. The present depressed state of the provinges is attributed by the League to the free trade policy of | Great Britain—to the withdrawal of the discrimi- nation in fayor of Canadian produce, which threw | Canada into a ruinous competition with those to whom the ports of England are more immediately and cheaply accessible. The remedies proposed are,a federal union of all the British American provinces—retrenchment and economy in the pub- lie expenditure, and protection to home industry. ‘The United States is but once alluded to in the ad- dress, and then as a mighty and prosperous nation. It was expected by a great many in the United States that the British League would have de- clared for something like annexation of the Cana- das to this republic; but after reading the proceed- ings of the League, and the debates of the mem- bers, we were satisfied that such a change had not a9 any time been seriously contemplated by any but a very small portion of the people. The Canadians | have been reared under royalty, are attached to a monarchical form of government, and think that it is the only government under which they can pros- per. ‘This was plainly evinced during the sitting of the League. Indeed, one of the first things the members did was to pass a declaration of attach- ment to the mother country. As soon as we ob- served this, we knew the annexation game was | over. We have no doubt that a federal union of all the British American colonies will tend greatly to the advantage and prosperity of each and all of them. By the establisement of a federal congress to le- gislate tor the whole confederacy, the French su- premacy, so odious to the British portion of the in- habitants, would be impossible; for the addition of | British representatives that would be brought from | the other colonies into the halls of legislation, | would give a vast preponderance over those re- turned by the French. It would also create a com- | munity and identity of interest and feelings, as | well as diminish the public expenditures. We do not know whether it is contemplated that each province shall have its separate provincial legisla- | tive, as the American States have, leaving the fe- deral legislature to act on general matters only con- cerning the good of all, as in our Congress at Washington; or tor there to be no provincial legis- Jatures, but a general one at the seat of the general government, wherever it may be. If the latter were | adopted, there would, of course, be a very great duninution in the expenses of government, and in the taxation, as a matter of course; for the whole expense of the federal government would not be a great deal more than is now paid for tne support ot each separate provincial legislature. | Be this as it may, there is apparently no desire among the Canadians to be annexed to the United States; nor, under all the circumstances, do we think it would be to our interest that such should, for the present, at least, be consumated. It would cause an excitement concerning slavery, to which all others would be trifles. The animosity and ill- feeling between the Northand Southon that subject, now too virulent, would be increased, for the latter would never consent to any extension of the anti- slavery influence, unless that of slavery were ex- tended likewise. The excitement which has been caused by that most ridiculous of all measures, the Wilmot proviso, which is now happily subsiding, and which will disappear, we hope, entirely when California demands to be admitted into this Union asa State, next winter—this Wilmot proviso excite- | ment would be increased a hundred-fold, and might produce a collision between the two sections of the Union, that might result in a deplorable and irreparable injury to both, and to the stability and permanence of the republic. The League, there- fore, having declared for a federal union of all the British American provinces, General Scott has written his letter and given his opinion on the an- tien of those colonies, to no purpose. It was but a “hasty plate of soup.” The idea of annexing Cuba, too, must go overboard for the present, un- | ees the difficulty growing out of the abdaction case a New Osleans should ripen into a war with Spain, and oblige ue to take Cuba as indemmity for the past and security for the future, in mach the eame way a6 We treated Mexico Democratic Coatrrion ( sriome at Rowe —We wunderetond thet Tammany Hall was the ecene of a great deal of confusion and habbub on Thorsdey evening last. It appears that a resolu. tion was offered by one of the General Committee, nullifying the proposition to send delegates to the covlition Conventions in Rome, and that it was carried by a vote of fifteen to ten. As soon as the reeult was known, there was a great deal of noise and wrangling in the commitiee room, and in the barafter the adjournment tensively at the meeting referred to Notwithetanding the passing of this resolution, we eve it is the determination of the masses of the party to send delegates to the Hunker Conven- tien at Rome, and that an agitation having that in view will be commenced immediately in the seve- ral wards. We aleo learn that the whige are exert- wg themeelves to prevent any union of the demo- cratic forces, and ere negotiating for that purpose. | From all that we can learn, there will be a union as far ae this city is concerned, but we do not appr hend that it will extend beyond New York. As soon a the two conventions meet, the barnburners | will undoubtedly attempt to make the hunkers swaliow the Buffalo platform. This will be re- sisted, and continuance of the breach will be the | eenerquence. If such should be the ease, of course the whigs will walk leisurely over the track at the fell election in the interior. In this city, the oe will be utterly routed, for their municipal folly, blundere, and wickedness of all kinds.

There men, that we would now particularly direct pub- lie attention, and, in connection with it, invite is also the Lamartine of the cabinet, full of sound- ing periods, but destitute of practical ability or the serious consideration of the country to wisdeom—a sentimental statesman, who consumes, certain great and important questions and principles which are involved in it. In order to accomplish our purpose, a reference to the political history of the country during the last few | a Flocon are not wanting; and, oh! how beauti- years will be necessary, Mr. Polk’s admimstration was an eminently brilliant administration. In pointof talent, it has had few, if any, equals. From first to last, Mr. Polk, as the head of the executive department of the government, was placed in circumstances of the most trying and difficult nature. He found him- self, in the very outset of his administra- tion, in the midst of a controversy with Great Britain, which, at one period, threatened to assume a most formidable character; and he was hardly well freed from that delicate and embarrassing question, when he was called upon to engage in the war with Mexico. The manner in which that great business was conducted, in the face of a powerful and united opposition, is now matter of history. Polk has himself disappeared for ever from the scene, but his administration will ive in the annals of the country. It has ad- | vanced immeasurably the dignity, prosperity, and influence of the republic ; and so it will be ac- knowledged hereafter, without a dissenting voice. How did it happen, then, that the people refused to re-elect Mr. Polk, though he and his friends ar- dently desired it?’ Whence came it that, after the successful termination of a war, of which the great masses of the peeple approved, and which was conducted by that administration with so much energy and vigor, the people of the United | States ejected Polk and his party from the posses- sion of the government? The explanation is easy. The moral principles of that administration were distasteful and abhorrent to the great masses of the people. What were the leading principles on which that administratien was conducted? They were known and avowed. The grand principle of ac- tion was expressed in the famous, or! infamous, declaration of Marcy—* To the victors belong the spoils.” It was on this maxim that Van Burenand Polk both practised; and by it they were both damned beyond redemption ; for there is amoag the honest people of this republic, a veneration, amounting almost to fanaticism, for morality in pohtics. “Party” does not constitute the people. Purity and integrity, in public men and in the administration of the public affairs, are ele- ments with which the people cannot dispense. The chicanery and intrigue and deception of poli- tical leaders oftentimes defeat the honest designs of the upright masses of the land. But sometunes the indignation of the people does find vent; and in the election of General Taylor we had an in- stance of the outburst of the spontaneous and over- whelming indignation of the people, which can never be forgotten. In private life Mr. Polk was an honest and religious man, but his administra- tion was utterly devoid of morahty. In reply to a senator, who was once complaiaing to Mrs. Polk of the dishonesty of politicians, she remarked— “When we left Tennessee, Mr. Polk and 1 left our hearts behind us!” A truthful and significant say- ing! There was, indeed, no heart, no feeling, no integrity, no high-toned public virtue in the admi- nistration of Mr. Polk, or ia the party which sup- ported him and General Cass; and therefore it was that they were overwhelmed by the indignant | | moral sentiment of the American people. ‘The morale of Polk’s administration was signal- ly exemplified in his appointments to office. He rarely, or never, consulted the views or wishes of his cabinet in making appointments. His own m- | ed to death—now, an innocent child is torn and The Dominican Republic—President Sowowyue— terests—his own selfish ends—the advancement of his own ambitious views—the benefit of his imme- diate friends, were the only counsellors consulted | ‘ete frightful casualties can be the result efmere ways on the alert, to deduce trom simple causes in the elaboration of the pompous nothings of some trivial note, the time in which a great man would arrange the mightiest affairs. A Louis Blanc, and fully they manage the public interests! Look at the affairs of the Post Office department—thrown into the utmost confusion, in consequence of nepotism and favoritism of the grossest and most unblushing character. Scarcely a single pledge is there of General Taylor, that has not been violated by the cabinet, which 1s fast destroying his reputation and blast- ing his fame. He stands where he ever stood, on the rock of unimpeached integrity and un- sullied patnotizm. But his confidence has been abused. lven whigs themselves, in hundreds and m thousands, throughout this broad land, hang their heads in shame and sorrow, as they behold, in the conduct of the cabinet, the ruin of their hopes and fond anticipations. Is all this to last ? | Are the honest intentions of the President and peo- | ple to be thwarted? The only hope left us isin | the President himself. If that fail, we may despair of ever seeing an honest and patriotic administra- tion of the government, and become the bondsmen of par ty for ever! Tus Princeron Carasrrorue—Rattroan Mis- MANAGEMENT.—We give in our paper, to-day, the details of the investigation before the Coroner’s Jury, in relation to the late frightful railroad acci- dent near Princeton, which has excited such a painful gensation throughout this whole communi- ty; and we also lay before our readers a very sen- | ible and judicious article from ene of the ‘Trenton newspapers. It will be perceived that several very important facts were disclosed in the course of the investigation, which shed considerable light upon the mysteries and miseries of railroad manage- ment in New Jersey. Our cotemporary at Tren- ton has evidently examined into the whole matter minutely and calmly, and his remarks are eminent- ly instructive and important. We trust our readers will give the article an attentive perusal. It is gratifying to find that the press in that locality 18 thus promptly taking the lead in the exposure of the awfully criminal manner in which the company have managed this road, so as to expose the tra- yelling public to dangers of which they, in their innocence, did not dream before, till this ternble accident revealed them in all their horrors. We have not been indifferent observers of the mismanagement of these railroad concerns, eitheT in their financial departments, or in the mode and manner of conducting the practical opera- | tions of the lines. The other day, we took | occasion to speak in strong terms of the culpable mismanagement of the railroads of the United States; and had it been in our power, we should | have expressed ourselves in still stronger terms of reprobation. The detestable selfishness—the mean, | avaricious, parsimonious spirit—of these corpora- | tions, has been permitted for years to expose the | | lives and limbs of the travelling community to the | mest frightful hazards, with hardly a word of re- buke in any quarter, except in the few journals , which are wholly independent of these concerns. | | We could not have a better illustration of the mean and parsimonious spirit of these railroa: corporations, than that which is exhibited every ley in the management of the Harlem Railroad. | Almost every week we hear of some dread- ful accident on the line of this company, which | | extends through the city. _Now, a man getscrush- | mangled—new, a leg is taken off—now, a skull is | smashed into fragments.

It seems that several of the indivi- duals thus indicted, or accused of participating in the riot, were let off—were allowed to go scot free —but have since been arrested for “pocketbook dropping” —one of the financial operations indulged in by gemuses in this mighty metropolis. Were these gentlemen, or any of them, among those engaged by Messrs. Grinnell & Co., to go to the theatre and sustain Mr. Macready, being furnished gratuitously with tickets for that purpose? Do tell. Others, against whom indictments were found, have been discharged on their own recognizances, and others on straw bail; while a number, for whose arrest bench warrants were issued, remain at large. Now there is some mystery in all this, that de- mands investigation and exposure. We call upon Why 1s he so lax in this case? He 1s sometimes rabid enough. A poor devil who steals a loaf or a yard of muslin, is pretty certain to feel the grip of the virtuous District Attorney. Why allow these rioters to escape? Why put off, and put off, and put off the trial?’ We do not abate one jot or tittle of the opinion which we have so often ex- pressed as to the massacre of twenty-five citizens, and the wounding and maiming of fifty more. Is Are the fidelity, and steadfastness, and public vir- tue of those Grand Jurors who nobly withstood those of their number who wished to shirk the whole thing and whitewash the authorities, to pass | for nought? It must not be. Again we demand of Mr. M'Keon that he do his duty, in the face of heaven and this community.

[t was on prosperity. Differences of opinion may exist, oc- | way, without reference to the capacity or fidelity of the individuals appointed to office. It was an administration of great splendor, in regard to pub- lic affairs; but within,it was all rottenness and cor- ruption; nepotism and favoritism—degrading, dis- gusting, shocking. The moral sense ot the people was offended. They determined to put an end to this corrupt order of things. At that moment, when the publie indignation was thoroughly aroused, there appeared prominently on the public stage, a man of unstained honor—a man of pure heart and clean hands—a man cast in the severely simple and heroic mould of the statesmen and sages of the old revolutionary days. The eyes of the people were turned upon him, and in that man they recognised one who might be their leeder in that mighty moral revolution which they were determined to effect in political affairs. That man was General Taylor. He was nominated, in spite of part! leaders and party machinations. Ile was elected. He 1s now the chief magistrate of the republic. Well, how stand matters now? General Taylor was elected under frank, voluntary, solemn pledges | to administer the government in a pure and liberal | #pirit—not asa partisan, but asa patriot. He was chosen by the people as the battle against the political corruption which had defiled the high places of the govera ment. He entered upon the work as a pure minded and honorable man. He selected a cabinet of respectable statesmen, as he believed them to be, and acting towards thera as a man of integrity and sense, declared that he was not ee- quainted either with the details of politics, or the claims and qualifications of many individuals in office. Ile said—* Gentlemen, I have chosen you from among the public men ot the country, as my advisers. You know my principles—they are be- fore the country and the world. You know the nature of the pledges which I have given to my fellow-citizens of this republic ; and now, I charge you to make all needful arrangements to aid me in carrying out those principles and fulfilling those pledges.” This wae the first movement of Gene- ral Taylor. Open, frank, manly, upright, the con- duct of President Taylor, in entering upon office, stands out in startling entrast with the deceitful, fa! mieerable, death-dealing, treacherous con- duct of Van Boren and Polk. “Now comes the great question of thishour. How have the cabinet fulfilled their doty? In what manner have they improved the generous confi- dence of the President? Let facts answer.— Already we behold, under this administration, an amount of corruption, favoritiem and partisanship, which has at once astounded and ehocked all honest men in the community. Wholesale removals from office, without just cause—appointmente of friends, relatives and factionists, irrespective of capacity or | integrity insolent and unscrupulous employment | of the patronage,and power of the government, | for the benefit, not of the country, but of «the —such, ! are the leading features of thie administration. And all revealed, too, | in the short espace of five months! No for- mer administration hae reached the same port of corruption in the same epace of time. It seems as if this cabinet have determined to answer he people in the manner of the foolish Jewich ing: — Whereas, our predecessors did lade yeu | | th Ik therr champion im | a Sunday evening, and, as usual, the car was crowded to suffocation. This crowding of these cars 18 a common practice, and excites the most painful feelings, both on account of the poor horses who drag the cumbrous vehicle, and the poor wretches who inhale the infected atmosphere with- in it. Is it wt all wonderful that, with drunken conductors, and cars into which passengers are thrust without regard to number, a score or two hanging on to the platforms, that frequent ac- | cidents should eccur? Yet the public seldom hear | of these accidents. When they are informed that & man, or a woman, or a child has been killed or mangled on the line of the Harlem Railroad, it is always added that no living, breathing creature ‘Was to blome, except the vietim who was sent to the other world, or maimed for life.
