Now, suppose that on the tobacco claim of Men- sieur Port, or on the salvage case, we should get a regular “knock down” with France, or with John Bull on the Nicaragua, the Cuba, or any other question, what force have we to meet their war steamers? We would be blockaded in foreign | porte, or driven into our own harbors. Privateering would be a bad business, for a single steamer would insure a fleet of the enemy’s merchant ships from attack, aguinst a fleet of sailing privateers. Our present steam navy 18 too insignificant for enumeration. It would’be exposing our weakest point to give the list. We have the Mississippi, ten guns, at sea; the Massachusetts and Edith, ia the Pacific; the Michigan, the on Upper Lakes; the Alleghany, the Princeton, (ten guns,) and two or three other smaller vessels. In addition to these, however, there are four first class steamers on the stocks, at Kittery, Me., Philadelphia, Brooklyn, and Norfolk. It is evident, still, that before the Secretary of State resolves upon a war, he should consult with Mr. Preston upon the condi- tion of the navy. There is another branch of the steam service, more direetly affecting our commercial relations, in which Great Britain is almost permitted a mono. poly, It is the system of transportation of forsign mails by means of steam ships. ‘The government has made a movement in this important service. Under contracts with various companies, lives of mail steamers have been established between New York und Liverpool, New York and Bremen, New York and Havre, New York, Havana and Chagres, and between Panema and San Francisco, on the Pacific. The full complement ef ships on all these lines is in repid course of completion. We shall then have, from New Yoric, the following list of mail steamers in service:-— Ships. Tons each.

C +2 2500 to — Havre branch... ...... 066 2,500 to — 2 Total. ccc cee ceeceeee ss 10 steamors, These, according to contract, could be at once convertible into war steamers in case of war, and would give us a very respectable nucleus for a steem navy, for oflensive as well as defensive ope- rations. This system appears to be the readiest, cheapest, and bestfor the establishment of a steam navy. We should, therefore, promptly appropriate the full advantages of the system. Lines should power and-civilization. With the revolutions of nations, the soversignty of commerce has tended westwardly, from Tyre to London, whichis now the centre ef the vast exchanges of the globe. To maintain this advantage, the British government, keen in itssagecity, and nnserupulpus of its means, has heen alive to the necessities of the age. She hes built up a steam navy; ehe has established her Jines of mail steasacrs in every direction. Long desivous of a western passage to Asia, she has seized es the last expedient, upon the coast of Ni- | earegna, and, by a thievish stratageyn, she holds it in occupation. The contest is between her and ‘the United States. Admit the validity of her im- pudent claim, and she disputes with us the trade ofthe Pacific: mainte the rights of Nicaragua and of our citizens, and the monopoly is ours. Bat, even with the command of the Isthmus and His several peseer, and the possession of the harbors of Oregon ond California, without steam we can | do nothing. We want e steam navy, and «general | system of mail steamers, readily convertible into ships of war. Sailing veseele, in time of war, j would now be but so many storechips sent out to the steamers of the enemy with supplies of provi- mons and munitions. A swift little steamer, of one gun of longer range, could sink the Pennayl- vania, with her armament of one handred and twenty guns, and a whole fleet of awling craft. A fleet of steamers, in a dark night, might run the genntlet of the Narrows, and lay New York under eontribetion at daybrenk. A war with France or | Great Britain would block up our present navy, | wherever a squadron might be stationed; and | every ttraggler on the sea would be in danger of enpture or destruction, Our navy would be as helpless as our commerce, for both (at least for a time) would be at the mercy of the enemy. For the protection of our commerce, not less than for tte expansion, steamships will alone insure our pofety and euccees. Our ships of the line, frigates, and eorvettes, drifting about at the merey of the | winds, or lying for days ina calm, like old hulke at be established between our principal ports and the principal ports of Europe, (including the Me- diterranean) and of South America. Other liaes should be opened between San Francisco, the Sendwich Islands, China, and the opulent East. Then, with a railroad across the Isthmus, (for pre- sent purposes) we should be in the full tide of suc- cessful competition with Great Britain. It is only by this system that we can divert the trade of Asia, via San Franciaco and New York, to London, pocketing ourselves the profits of the transporta- tion. Build the ships, place one or several young men of the pavy on board to learn the art of steam navigation, eo that when wanted for active war eervice, the ships may be under efficient manage- ment, and you have a navy in reserve, ready upon short notice for action. In addition, however, to a general system of mail eteamers, the navy requires a few more active steamships in the immediate service. At least one steamer ought to be in attendance upon every squadren, just as a squad of stupid old women are given in charge to the stoutest boy on the farm, to see they are not lost. We have had asquadron for tome yeare on the African coast in the suppression of the slave trade, but we have no steamer among hem; and while the British ran away with all he prizes, our ships have to content themselves with the prospect of stumbling upon a slaverina tog. ‘We trust that a steam navy and a general sys- tem of mail steamers, will not longer be postponed by Congress. Inthis day of revolutions, we know not what may turn up to-morrow. Selfdefence and the very slr of ourexisting navy, demand thet steam should be put into it; our commer- cial pecessities can only be accommodated by steem; and by steam alone can our commercial supremacy be won. Will Mr. Preston have the goodness to put on the steam ? Tur Grongia aNp Marytanp Evections— What's tus Matrer Now ?—Suflicient re- returns are received from the gubernatorial elec- tion in Georgia, to show that Towns, the demo- cratic candidate, is re-elected, and that the “un- anchor, have become mere loaters on the ocean— useless in peace, and prizes for the enemy in war. | Steamers are the only proper navyin this age of the world.

From Maryland, too, where the whigs, aided by the cabmet and cabinet organs at Washington, expected to redeem their late disasters in other States, the democrats have gained a member of Congress, besides doing other damage. pated; but they are even worse than the worst oy prehensions of Greeley. The cabinet, for its inter- Seward, Greeley & Co., for their intermeddling with the negroes, may account for the couse- quences. To be sure, adumb candidate on the slavery question ia Georgia, could not be expected to run; but the great mistake was, that it left him open to suspicion of bemg a party to the abolition clique of Ewing and Seward, and an enemy toa compromise. If thus the battle goes in Maryland and Georgie, what are we to expect in the elec- tions yet to come? Is there no hope for the cubi- net? Have they done nothing to satisfy the peo- le t ¢ left without a party in the country, and with a minority in both houses? It looks like it. Aad yet these results only increase eur confidence that General Taylor will disperse the demagogues of his cabinet, and take upon himself the responsibi- lity. The prospect brightens for a bold, energetic, consistent, and brilliant administration.

They have submitted, and will in all probability submit for years to come, to every cheat that cunning and designing men choose to practise upon them. They go through the form periodically of electing a city government, but they have no more voice in no- minating the candidates for whom they vote, than the subjects of Emperor Faustin the First, the present monarch of the interesting empire of Hayti, had in converting the black president of that black republie into a black emperor. Year after year their hard earnings are wrung from them, in the form of taxes, to the tune of three millions of dol- lars a year, and, with the exception of a few growls when they receive notice to pay up, they do no- thing towards relieving themselves of the imposi- tions practised upon them by a few cunning and designing men behind the acenes, who, while they dance, make the unfortunate public pay the fidd-er. There never was exhibited such gross mismanage- ment, such utter reckleasness, corruption, waste ond extravagante, in conducting a municipal go- vernment, as that which hae characterized New York for the last twenty years. Anditisdue to our present city avthorities—the whigs, now in control of our municipal government—te say, that they have not only followed in the footsteps of their predecessors, but have outstripped them in extravagance, imbecility, and waste of the public moneys committed to their charge. They have been weighed in the balance, and, notwithstanding all the protestations and pronuses which they made previous to their election, they are found want- ing in a deplorabie degree. Tf any one doubts what we have asserted regard- ing the manner in which the people of this city are humbugged and deceived, let him investigate the manner in which the nominations of candidates, of both the witigs and the democrats, are made. Let him look at the proceedings at the primary meet- Ings, even this year, and after he has satisfied him- self of the manner in which the election of delegates was secured, his doubts will soon be removed, and the fact will be revealed to him that our citizens» who boast #0 much of their mtelligence, nde- pendence, and freedom, are the tools ofa parcel of wire-pullers and designing men, who not only ex- ercise a controlling influence in those assem- blager, but poritively dictate who shall and who shall not be returned. This evil has become so great, that it must be repressed; either the syetem iteelf—the party mechinery for making nomina- tions—must be abolished, or the respectable and reputable portion of our cittzens must attend the the rowdies and bellies, who flock to them for the purpose of contrelling the election of delegates. As the latter will, in all probubility, not be adopted —as peaceable and order-loving people do not like to get in contact with bullies and rowdies, whose influence will, in all probability, continue, unless jt be deprived of an opportunity to show itself, we think the eooner the party machinery to which we have alluded, and of which primary meetings are the first part—the sooner that party maehinery is disused by both parties, the better it will be for both, as well as forthe public at large. Neither would be injured in its prospeets, forit 1s no vio- lation of truth or justice to aay that the villany of the one is counterbalanced by that of the other, In thie reepect they are on a par, there not being a toss of a c opper’s difference between them. ‘The necessary consequence of the abolition of party machinery in our elections weuld neces- sarily be, that, instead of having but one candidate of each party for each office, an at present, there | would be six, eight, ten, or a dozen, and perhaps | more, who would place themselves before the | primary meetings, and counteract the influence of | Foarion Newsrarere ix tax Unirep StaTss— ‘Uniry oy THE Amzxican Reropiic.—Few persons, we believe, nave any idea of the great amount of foreign literature which flourishes in our com- munity, end throughout the Union in general. Some conception may be formed of its great ex. tent, by a consideration of the number of newepa- pers in foreign languages, which are published in various parts of the United States, and which meet with such @ patronage as to render them lucrative to their proprietors. We have three or four Ger- man newspspers in New York alone ; and there is scarcely a city of any consequence in the Union where atleast one newspaper entirely German, is not well supported. Then, again, we have Freneh papers, Itahan papers, Spanish papers, Franco-Ita- lian, Anglo-Frane, Anglo-Italian, and others, published in New York, in New Orleans, in Phila- delpbia, in Boston, in Baltimore, in St. Louis, and other cities of the Union. These tacts tend to show the immense foreign population settled down smong vs and become thoroughly Americanized in all except their encient language, which cannot be eo easily changed. It is a famous law maxim— “ Nemo potest exuere patriam ;” but we believe it would be more correct if applied to his language and mother tongue. Among the numerous reflections to which the facts above mentioned give rise, nothing strikes us as being more worthy of remark than the fact of the unity of the great North American republic, in the madst of elements apparently so discordant and conflicting. This unity of the American people and nation is, tm fact, one ot the most remarkable phenomena in the history of nations. Under all the various phases in which the action of our free institutions bas been considered and eulogised, this singular and remarkable feature has, we believe, escaped particular cbservation and remark. Its parallel, however, is not to be found in any other people. We are composed, in the aggregate, ot many peo- ple, nations, and tongues; and yet, under the amalgamating influence and equality of our republican principles and orgamzation, we form @ more compact and a more united people than many nations of the old world, which have remained for ages isolated and un- mixed with any other people. In those old eoun- tries, there often are im the same nation, and among the same people, constituting by birth and language one single family, far greater divisions and social distinctions than are to be found among us, notwithstanding the heterogeneous nature of the elements which compose our national exis- | tence. They may be said to be homogenous bo- dies, and yet they are divided into classes which never cohere or unite; while we, on the other hand, are, as it were, an heterogeneous com- pound, and yet we unite and cohere to form one great.united coherent and homogeneous political body. It is a subline, a wonderful spectaele! Few people, perhaps, ure aware of the varied na- ture of the elements of which we are temposed. In all our great cities, in a!] our extended coun- try, there are vast masses of what may be calhed foreign people, who csmbine, with the utmost fa- cility and good order, to form, with ourselves, one united people. In New York, there are thousands of Germans, Italians, English, Swedes, Spaniards, and others, who, on touching our shores, lose all their distinctive nationality, and become merged jm the one cognomen of American people. It is the eame throughout the Union. Such 1s the wonderful effect of the civil and religious liberty we enjoy. Such is the influence of onr political equality. Such 1s the action of our republican sys- tem. Bslo perpetua.

There are many deserving men in the community, porsessing every requisite to guaranty the faithful performance of the duties of any office, but whose | services are lost to the public, because they will not descend to the trickery practised by politicians — and wire-pullers. A man actuated by honorable | motives will not lower himself in his own esti- | mation, as well as in that of his fellows, to the degree which, im a great many instances, candi- datee do.

Although | the law declares that this visit ehall be made with | the view to aecertain “if the promontory known ! as Sandy Honk will bea proper and convenient site for the establichment of a marine hospital,” neither the physician of merine hospttal, nor any other medical officer attached to it, was pre- sent, Whether the sbsence of these off'cers—th persons beet qualified to arcist the authorities in deciding the question of the eligibility of the pro- posed eite—was unavoidebl:, or whether they were intentionally left behind, for feor that their views might not coincide with thore of the land espeen- | lating egitatore of the island, we know not. But let the result of the examination be what it may, | whether favorable or ciherwiee, we hope that no further steps will be taken until the meeting of the Legisiature, which is now clove at hand. The matter has been neglected so long, that but litle con be lost by a farther delay of » few weeke; and we look upon the sacrifice of the interests of the State and of the mercantile community, to the wishes of afew land holders on Staten Island—if the report ehould be favorable to removal—to too important a matier to be decided upon hastily. If the present quarantine end vie hospitals do in realty endenger the health of the city, thea let them be removed to rome enitable place; but wntil this question 1 eatisfactorily decided by those competent to judge, we cannot consent that the ftate and the people should encrifice their valuable property and cortly buildings, to benefit a few holdere of real estate, whose imaginary fears lead e the dangers te which they pretend that they are exposed.
