Macarcuran'’s Boimers Mac ——— Bad Diplomacy The electious which have taken place ia Vir- ginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, North Carolina, and | elsewhere, since April last, have, upon the whole, | been exceedingly unfortunate to the whigs. We | should not be surprised if the elections in Georgia, Miceissipp:, and Leuisiana, were also to tarn out to the advantage of the locofocos. The election for Governor and State Legis- lature, in Georgia, took place yesterday. The ground occupied respectively by the opposing eandidates for Governor—Edward Y. Hull, whig, and George W. Towns, loco—is marked and distinct. The controtling question in the issue is, ofcourse, the Wilmot proviso, or the power of ‘Congrevs to exclude elavery from the territories. Upon this question the whig candidate is as dumbas an oyster; while the 1ocofoco plants himself upon the ground of Mr. Calhoun and the Southern ad- dress. He 18 opposed to the proviso—he 1s willing to accept the Clayton compromise, as the best thing ‘that can be done in the present state of affairs, but against any interference by Oongress with slavery im the District of Columbia—he urges a “ deter- mined resistance, at all hazards, and to the last ex- tremity.”” The locofoco presses occupy the same poritions, and plead, that if they can carry the elections in the South, “the degradation of the South may be averted.” They proclaim the pro- viso to be the settled policy of the whig party, and quote from a whig free soil paper in Pennsylvania, to show that Gen. Taylor, in his tour through that Btate, expressed himself as “ utterly hostile to the introduction of slavery into the new territories.” Sach being the positions upon which the locofeco eandidate presents himself to the people, against an opponent whose opinions are only to be gather- ed from the general sentiments of his party, no- ‘thing thort of a miracle, or a revolution ia Geergia ould prevent the defeat of the whigs. In Maryland an election for the Legislatu e and | members of Congress takes place to-morrow, an: and | the prospects of the whigs are here more favora- | ble. Maryland doves not occupy the extreme Seuthern ground upon the slavery question. She is ranked as a whig State—she is in favor of pro- fection; and the appointment of Reverdy Johnson to the eubinet, is generally eatisfactory to the party. The whigs have been driving a vigorous , @ampaign in that State, and the two organs ot the @abinet at Washington have been active volun- teers in the cause. The loss or gain of a member may decide the complexion ef the House; and with the prospect of the restoration of the old party sys | tem of the Congress printing, a mater of lite and death to the Washington organs 1s iavolved in the Joes or gain of the House. ‘The damage which the whig party has already sustained in the South is easy of solution. It is to be found in the abolitioniem ot the Postmuter General and the Secretary of the Iaterior, and | their system of emptying aud filliog the offices #f | the country. It us to be traced to the foreign | policy, or rather the want of a foreign policy, of | he cabinet. It may be charged to the influence of | Seward with Collamer and Ewing and the aboli: Sonwts, and to we extent, to the sovialiem, Fourieriem end abolitieniam of the New York Ti+ dune. lie course has been Fuici dal to the whig party a the South, and its labors to widen the breach be- tween the two sections of the Union, have been mirehievous end malicious. The favor which i: has sought emeng the various castes and factions of abolitionists, has been breaking dowa the whigs | of the South. Nor can there be any anity, or any + eontrolling power in the whig party of the Uaion, j with rvch a Jodas in their councils. | The States of Lousiana aad Misswesippi elect | their members to the new reas on the Bho; | November, aud we shall look with some interest to the opinion of the cotton growers on the Rey ease, and for the decision of the eugar planters epen the services to Queen leabella, of the home | squadron at Kownd Island.

As fer as the city of New York is concerned, the union between the hunkers and barnburners, apparently is complete, while the rank and file of the whigs are divided and dissatistied) The whigs, therefore, are fngbtened; and fearing the result which in all probability awaits them, they are en- deavoring, to the extent of their power, to silence the dissatisfaction which has been ere- ated by the course pursued by the cabinet at Wathington, respecting the distribution of offices, and other matters connected with the gene- ral pohey which Mr. Clayton and his asso- ciates have adopted, in direct contravention of the pledges which General Taylor made previous to his election. They are afraid that the demo- erats will earry the abolition vote with them throughout the State, and henee they are continu- ally claiming, im their organs, that the whigs are better abolitionists than the others, knowing well that whichever party gets the abolition vote out of the city will carry the election. This, however, will have no influeuce in the city, for we have none | of the ultras of that school within our boundaries Thurlow Weed, in his journal, says the barn. burners have given upto the hunkers, and the hunkers soy ne, they have enly entered into an honorable coalition. The Lvening Post, on the | other band, says the hunkers, have giver way to the barnburpers. Now we have our view of the subject indepen dent of both, and that view is, that the two parties have assumed « ground that we thiok will be the couse of much trouble hereafter between the Northern snd Southern States. They are both striving for the abolition vote in the State, and are thus aseoming « position that will, sooner or later, produce an opposition spirit at the South, which, when a collision occurs, will be attended with great and important results. This difficulty seems to be increased by the course which is be- ing pursued by Mr. Benton in Missouri. As we have already said, the union between the nivel factions of the democracy 1 apparently complete, in this city; but the whigs are disu- nited diseatisfied,and discontented. The merchants are indignant at the attempt made by the cabinet to get up a quarrel with France out of nothin; id the masses of the party are averse to the whole tenor of our foreign policy sinee the present cabi- net was organized, as well as to their policy re7 specting the distribution of offices here. Our mer cantile classes are in fact afraid of the cabinet, on account of the numerous blunders which they have committed in connection with our foreign policy; and the ultra whigs, the working men of the party—those who toiled and worked, when toil and work were neeessary—at the sys” tem of appointments which has been pursued ‘n the Custom House. Many of the whig party will abandon the ranks on these accounts ; and those elements, combined with the union of the democrats, will give the latter c f the greates, victories in this city that they ever achieved. There seems to be some difficulty among the democrats about their nomination for Sheriff. They are aware ef the necessity of putting for- ward one of their strongest men, and hence Ex- Alderman Stoneall, of the Second ward, is talked of a good deal as their candidate for that office. ‘We do not think they could select a better man. Alderman Stoneall is well known as a man of character, avd, if sominated, will undoubtedly subtract largely from the whigson the day of elec- tion, besides receiving the unanimous support of | both bunkers and barnburners. With his nomi- nation, the success of the democrats in the city would be rendered eull more certain Tue Diocesan Convention ano Bisnor Onorn- poxk.—Our readers are no doubt aware that at the | late Dioeesan Convention of the Protestant Epis- i | copal Church, held in thig city, resolutions were adopted, calling apon the House of Bishops to fix tome time for the termination of the iadefinite sentence of suspension inflected by them upoa Bishop Oaderdonk. This created somewhat of a row, and a great deal of dissatisfaction im certain quarters; and, in order to define their position, and place themselves correctly before the world in this matter, the minority of the conveation have issued a eolemn protest against the action of the majority. through ; and, if the truth must be told, savors of pereecution es moeh as it does of Christian mo- | rality. Now this Onderdonk business, we think, should be disposed of one way or the oth once. It is full time that the public were reliewed of fur- ther consideration concerning it. To be sare he sinned (f the testimoay on bis trial is to be ere- dited) to a very extraordinary extent, still, if we look over the pages of the good book, we will fied that the meck and lowly Jesus, the very founder of christianity, hesitated to condemn the woman of Semeria, who went mueh further ia iniquity than Bishop Onderdonk did. In the opinion of his adversaries, he should not even be al” lowed to repent—he from wearing eackeloth and ashes for bot thie 19 unwiee, well as Christian. If he has repented of his sins, | he ehould be re-admutted to his functions at once, | for bis eppooents know not when they themselves may be placed in a imilar position. There are, his | Bo doubt, many pastors of the eharch equally ax bat they have been | sivful ae Biehop Onderdonk, more thilfal than him in concealing their peeca- dilloes. If ench a course be not adopted, the best way would be to degrade him—to deprive him of hie Episcopal fonctions, and banish him from the church for ever If the latter course be adopted, there is no reason | why Bishop Onderdonk should be lost te the world.

Tur Invasier nov Mexico.—The accounts which reached Mexico of the armed expedition that was organized in the United States for the invasion of Cuba or Mexico, have, appeare, created a terrible commotion in the last named country; and at the lnet accounts from there, great preparation® ef a military nature were being made to protect Tompico, where it was expected the expeditioa would lend, as well as the whole Mexican sea- board We do not wonder at this. The poor Mexicans have been ee severely drubbed by los Yankees in | the recent war between the two countries, that we do not wonder at their fright in reapect to the armed expedition destined, we believe, for Cuba. Dat the Mexicans need not be afraid, we are not ready to extend our commion farther south at present. We have not yet digested New Mexico | and California; but when we have done so, we will not anewer for what may occur. This manifest etiny principle seems to be part of our national disposition, end we do not know to what extent mey lead ue, or rather to what extent we may follow ut hereafter.

This protest is anti-Oaderdonk all | thould be prevented | Emigration to tae Uniran States —An idea of the namber of emigrants that have reached this city this year, may be formed from the fact, for whieh we are indebted to Major Frazer, that between the first of April and the first of Octo- ber this year, the number of arrivals averaged eight hundred and minty-six per day, or a fraction over thirty-three perhour. This is an increase of about thirty-five thousand on the number of arrivals during the same period last year. We have not, at present, the means of estimating the arrivals at other ports ; but we should not be at ull snrprised if the increase of our pepulation by emigration, will amount to two hundred and fifty thousand for the year 1849. When we consider the disturbed eon- dition of Europe tor the last year or eighteen months, we must infer that the emigration from that part of the world, during the next twelve months, will be much greater than it has beea, or will be this year, Well, let them come.
