It 18 amusiag to eompare their conflicting opimons. Some of them, especielly those organs enjoying a good share of the cabinet advertising, blindly, or obediently, maintain its infallibility, and hold it up as the model cubinet; and that its policy is destined to i redeem all the errors of locofocoism for a quarter | of a century past, and can only terminate in a po- litical millenium Of this class of the whig press the leaders are the organs at Washington, and their country satellites give but the sickly reflee- tion of their eulogies. The course of the indepen- dent press has compelled these organs and their echoes to take up the. defence of the cabinet, and its miserable medley of intrigues and blunders in our foreign and domestic policy. And among the political curiosities of the day, the most funny of | all is, that Massa Greeley, of the Tribune, should | vet himself up as the rightful and legitimate advo- cate of the President and his cabinet.” Itisa piece of the coolest sort of impudence; but, from the aflected gravity of his defence, it calls for a passing notice. Ina recent article, the Fourier organ un- dertakes the ridiculous task of proving that the ** independent press,” (evidently referring especial- ly to the New York Herald), had no material | xyency inthe nomination of General Taylor, and are therefore entitled to no possible ,credit for the | yeeult. The whole merit belongs to the whig con- vention and the whig party. Assumptions so bald and untenable scarcely need a reply. Jt was the “independent press,” and the independent men, of all parties, that forced the nomination of Gene- ral Taylor upon the whig convention, and compel- Jed our socialist cetemporary, after many wry faces, and considerable hard swearing, to swallow the core. The independent press first brought out General Taylor. It was his independent position, as laid down in his Allison and other letters, that wecured him the support of independent me: elected him; for if any candidate ot the w could have been elected by the whig party, it was Paunuin | | | | | | Tylerize his cabinet. ness, or the least consideration of public taste or party policy. We have another witness on the stand. Thurlow Weed, one of the most unscrupulous of partizans, in adapting the means to the end, cannot quite stretch his conscience to the policy of the Home Department of Ewing & Co. In re-publishing the complaint of the Courier, Thurlow thus endorses The administration has not. however, been always fortunate in the dispensation of its patronage. Neither Gen Taylor por his cabivet possessed that personal knowledge of publie men which enabled them to select, for prominent positions, individuals in. whom offtelal and practical elements are united ‘The most import- ant federal ofices have. in too mavy instances. been be- | ttowed vpon political antediluvians—men of a past and er with ad- | Obsolete Behool, without associations or sympathies noill be de- | With those who now teach and guide the political | masses, A single example will prove this proposition. | Au universally respected citizen of New York, whose | prame, influence exertions, and means have been stea- Gily. cealously, and freely devoted to the whig cau received ap importamt revenue appointment ‘That aj poin'ment was both proper apd popular.

Justso, In the admmistration of General Tay- lor we were to have the ‘era of good feeling re- party lines were to be obliterated ; honest ¢ men were to administer the govern- ment, and party proseription was to cease. Bat, eed of that, we have been cursed with a pro- ption without example, rathless, merciless, and disgraceful to all concerned. Thus, while the fo- reign policy of the cabinet has been signalized by ig- norance, feebleness, and trepidation, its domestic policy has been simply disgusting. But, as the New York Heveld was the first journal to bring Generat Taylor before the country, it will net, without good cause, abandon him. We have full fuith in his abiding honesty and purpose to Tay- lorize his administration, even if itbe necessary to The time is at hand. re State of Europe--The Threatened General War. Since the receipt of the intelligence that Russia had demanded the surrender of the Hungarian re- fugees, of the Porte, with the avowal thata refusal to comply with his summons would be treated as a cosvs belli—that the Porte, with the countenance and support of England and France, had perempto- tily refused to deliver up those refugees—and that, in case of the Emperor of Russia resorting to compulsion, the Porte would have those great powers as allies in the struggle—the condition of Europe, end the probability of a general war being the result, has been earnestly discussed by all classes in this community. The question, it is ad- mitted on all hands, has assumed a form of great moment and importance. After making such an avowal as he did make, it is insisted by some that the Emperor of Russia is not the man to retire from the position which he has taken, even if he could do so without losing caste in the estima- tion of the whole world; and again, others contend, that England and France cannot do otherwise than support their ministers in the course which they have taken in the matter; and if the ultima ratio regum be resorted to by Russia, that the army and navy of both those nations must be employed in aid of the Porte, and against Rus- sin. All admit, however, the great importance of the subject, and are unanimously of the opinion that te prevent an European war—of a sanguinary | character, and of long duration—either Russia on the one hand, must back out, or that England and France must, onthe other. Henee, intense anx- iety exists to learn further from the old world—to | be informed of the results of the important cabinet councils which have recently been held in both France and England on this very important subject.

Such, we imagine, may be the views and feelings of the Emperor of Russia. If we are correct in attribu- ting them to him, he thinks the time has come to decide two questions of great moment at oace— whether he cnn carry out the Russian designs on Turkey on the one hand; and whether the whole of Europe is to be republican or Cossack, on the other. Both can be decided by proceeding to ex- tremities against Turkey, in opposition to the armed inteference of England and France. The next arrival from Europe will, in allproba- bility, give us more light on this interesting and important subject. 1f the Czar persist in the stand which he has taken—(for war has been in fact de- clared by him against Turkey, and he and the Porte are, to all intents and purposes, now ina state of war against each other, because he ex- pressly stated through lis envoy that the Porte’s refusal to deliver the Hungarian refugees would be treated by him as a casus bel/:)—England and France must withdraw from the position which their respective ministers assumed, or a general European war 18 inevitable; a struggle which will decide the political fate of that quarter of the world, perhaps, tor centuries. All depends on the resolution which the cabinet ministers of the two latter countries arrive at; and, in all probability, we shall be informed of the result of their delibera- tions by the next steamship. This subject is not only interesting to us in a commercial point of | view, but in others, equally, if not more so. We believe that not all the laws of nations—all the treaties—all the non-intervention acts in existence, could prevent the United States from taking sides with England, France, and Turkey, against Rus- sia, in such a war as 1s threatened, in which such mmportant principles would be at stake. We believe, that if France and England were to go to war with Russia, at the invitation of the latter power, to decide the great issue, whether liberty or despotism shall prevail in Europe, the people of the United States would unanimously and peremp- torily demand of the President and cabinet at Washington, that the resources of this country should be used in favor of hberty, against Russia and despotism. No administration could for a” week resist the preseure that would be made upon it to take this course, if such a war, embracing such principles, should result from the stand taken recently by the Emperor of Russia. Kentucky Constirutronat, Corvention.—The letter, from our Frankfort correspondent, in this day’s paper, gives a summary of the proceedings of the Kentucky Convention, convened for the pur- pose of considering sundry proposed amendments tothe State constitution. Of these amendments, the election of the State officers now appointed by the Executive, is a leading feature; and, from the | tenor of the proceedings, it is pretty certain that | the example of New York will become the law of | Kentucky. Another, and still more important subject, will be the discussion of the question of gradual eman- cipation of slavery in the State. It 1s evident that the existing law will not be materially changed. The committee on this question have reported an emendment directly in oppesition to Mr. Clay’s system of gradual emancipation, and rigidly pro- viding for the removal and exclusion of free n groes from the State. The amendment differs very little from the constitution as at now stands; and, if adopted, will not materially affect the existing system, The evils of slavery in Kentucky are more to be | regarded in a financial aspect than any other, as its northern boundary of free States renders the tenure of slave property very uncertain. It was this precarious tenure, and the cost of slave labor, | which, more than all other causes, suggested the | policy of gradual emancipation. But, if the peo- | ple of Kentucky have entertained any such inten- | tions, they are now constrained, of necessity, to relinquish them, until the great exciting question between the North and the South is settled. | Mewntime, the Southern States are compelled, im eelf defence, to make no movements which would werken their position. The letter of our correspondent gives a lucid ex- | position of the proceedings of the convention; and of their future progress, we shall be duly informed. Armen Ponick in Piitavetrmta.—In conse- quence of the continued riots and rows which pre- vailin Philedelphia, eome of the timid journals and timid people are disposed to believe thatil that city had in its employ an armed police, a sort of gens de armes armed with muskets and swords, and eix-barrelled “ shooters,” the rowdies who are the cause of those disgraceful disturbances, would be eflectually put down. Now, we think that to organize corps a of that kind would be only commencing at the wrong end. We do not be- | lieve, in the first place, that such a course would be tolerated; and, in the second, that it would be entirely inefleetual. Let the people of Philadelphia conrolidate their munticipel governments, instead of having hulf a dozen distinet munveipali- ties, they have but one, with general jurisdiction do. this before trying any other expedient. Our belief is, that it they wil efleet this reform, they will put an end to these quarrele, riets, and rmeuter, which have diegraced Philude!phia 0 much of late years.

COMMERCIAL AFFAIRS, MONEY MARKET. Sunday, Oct. 21-6 P. MM, ‘The stock market closed, yesterday, rather heavy: Prices bave been more uniform for several days past than we have noticed for some time previous, and there appears to be fewer buyers in the market. The bears are disposed to sell to any extent, but the bulls are get- ting more cautious; they have got their fill of the fan- cles, and are struggling along, dey after day, under the weight of an enormous quantity of trash, The bulls of Wall street and holders of fancy stoeks out of the street, carry, from week to week, millions upow millions of dollars North, (according to the market value), upon which not the first fraction of interest has ever been, and, in all human probability, never will bs, paid, The money market has experienced no changs during the past week. The bauks have extended their line as much as they consider safe, and the extent of their discounts is to keep it up tothat mark. Business: paper is quite plenty in the street, and the rates of in- terest are gradually stiffening. We have seen easier times in the meney market during the past four months, than we shall again realize for years. The annexed statement exhibits the uotations im this market, for the principal speculative stocks for each day of the past week, and at the close of the week previous. ‘There has beeu no very important variativn in prices either way :— Qvorarions vOR THe Puinorrar Brocks m THE New York MAsuur, Ft aad trie "tyes Wed.
