She is, therefore, in her fifteenth day, and fully due at this port. The Washingten Organs. Of what manner of earthly use are the Washiag- ten organs? In London, Paris, Vienna, and other Enropean capitals; in Moatreal, Halifax, Hava- na, and other colonial cities, the official organs keep the public advised upon governinent affairs, and to some eatent, of government intentions. | Woul very recently, the organs at Washington now and then, by dint of cross-questioning, have | eondescended to enlighten the country on the poli- ey and movements of the administration. To be sure, their disclosures have always been qualified with a good deal of mysterious ambi; have “supposed,” and “understood, “ventured to assert,” \hat the goverament woulddo no such thing as charged by some presuming let- ter-writer; but still they have answered reasona- bly well to keep the pulzic informed of the doings and designs of the government. But of what sort of use, as government papers, are the present organs at Washington? The Union, of course, is out of the question. Father Ritchie and Mr. Burke are not allowed to enter the star chamber. It is their vocation to cut and slush, denounce, abuse, “knock down and drag eut,” until not a rag or vestige of the adzinistra- tion is left. In this serviee they work with the en- ergy of St. Paul, and “pray without ceasing” for their restoration to the “flesh pots” of the Treasu- ry. But being officially defwnet, save asthe organ of the “outsiders,” the Union is excladed from the circles of the cabinet, and can neither be expected to know any thing, nor be held responsible for any thing. The Intelligencer and the Republic, however, are supposed to hold # different relation. They are looked upon as the organs of the cabinet, or of some porticular member or two of the concern ‘The dntelligencer, from old associations, * obsolete idees,” and from its sympathy in the exploded dogmas of old whig hun Jom, 18 regarded the especial favorite of Mr. Clayton. The first publi- extion in it of the corfespondence on the war | steamer, and of the horrible discovery of the Round | Island expedition, aud of other matters from the | State Department, sustain the presumption that it holds the same official relationship to Mr. Clayton | asthe North American, barring the $90,000.

The approaching contest between the two great perties in this city and Stute, which comes off on Tuesday next, will present seme curious and onginal features, calculated to puzzle the philosopher, and make the good natured laugh. & new element, of a peculiar character, is about to be introduced into it—one which has sprung up in the very centre of the city,and the first movement connected with which will be found reported at length, n our columos to-day. For the first tame in any Anglo-Saxon communty, the negro descen- dants of the African slaves of a former age, have come together in a public meeting, declared their political rights, and assumed a position which, in the approaching struggle, will decide the contest in favor of the party whose side they take. We refer our readers to the full report of those proceed” ings, whieh took place at a highly respectable nero meeting, composed of the negro élite of the city, from all the oyster cellars and other places about town, and held at Putnam Hall. At this meeting, there were also preferences indicated in favor of Senator Seward for the Presidency, and Frederick Doug!as for the Vice Presidency, for 1852, thus :— Wriuiam H, Sewarp (white man), of New York, for President, : Frprnick Doveras (black man), of Ohio, for Vice President. This new and wonderful elem@nt will probably decide the approaching election in favor of the whigs. Asthe contest now stands, it is very cer- tain that beth parties will be very nearly balanced in this city ; and if such is the case in the city, a similar result may take place throughout the State. ‘The exercise, therefore, of the negro right of suf frage, comprising probably one thousand votes ia the city, and as many in the State, may determine | the political complexion of the State of New York in favor of the whigs, for the next year, and pro- 8, sition now assumed by the African, or negro, race, will give them great power hereafter; and probably some of the fuctions of the day, which receive | their aid, may think it necessary to bring them into public office, and administer a little of the spoils to their new alliea. In this movement, the whigs | have eertamly shown consgmmate skill, in manag- ing their afliirs so as to bring this new ard fresh corps of voters in favor of their side of the question. ‘This is a new phase of socialism, which will yet attract more than common attention here and else- where, throughout the republic. tis almost equal, in rich humor and broad faree, to the recent astounding revolution in St. Domingo, by which that wonderful republic was suddealy transformed into a great empire, and the late President Son- louque jumped into the breeches of * Fanstia L, the Emperor of Hayti!’’ What next, in the way of wonders? _ 2 Appointments to G@ilice—The Course of the Senate. We understand that as the time for the assem bling of Congress approaches, the office holders who have been appointed by the cabinet at Wash- ington are fearing more and more that the Senate of the United States will reject a great many of them. Nor are we sure that they have not good reason for entertaining such fears. The pledges which General Taylor voluntarily gave, previous to hie election, have been wofully violated aad set at nought by the members ot the cabinet, on whom he conferred the task and honor of condacting the administration of the government. It is well known that General Taylor repeatedly declared that he would remove no office holder for opinion’s sake—that his rule would be, if elected, to make “honesty, capacity, and fidelity’ indispensable requisites in the bestowal of offices; and that, on the other hand, he would only consider the absence of any of those qualities asa sufficient cause for removal. No sooner, however, were the cabi- net placed in power, than an indiscriminate syotem of removals and appointments was commenced, im direct violation of those pro- mises and pledges; and hence the dissatisfac- tion which has been caused, not only among the democrats who have been removed, but among the whigs thenrselves ; for the appointments have been made not from among the workmg young men of the party—those who labored might and main to secure the election of General Taylor—but from among the very men who opposed his nomination almost the very day of election. Look at the ays | term which was adopted in this region. The pre- fact, the prim, old maidish propriety, the grand- motherly tenacity to old notioas of style and eti- quetie, of the Intelligencer, exactly agree with the temper of Mr. Clayton. They are both ef that eloss known as the as beens.” They are of the Bourbons, and Janguish for a restoration of the ancient régime, and th rity ot the and sedition } of the 19th century hus left th uiet see: ma hundred years behind; and upon this hypothesis we may account | for every faux pas of Mr, Clayton in his late blaa- dering eflurts to imitate the lomacy of the last eevtury. The Republic is of a later echool ai firet come disposition to keep pace grees of modern ideas ; but the cabinet have € pled it, by liberal subsidies, into the tamcst submis. tion, We expected ir dent and his poley; b fiddle of the Jntellr, ch is the r of Weshington org formation on the foreign or the home policy of & BU; at it ha become the second gence anAc ar hk For all purposes of in- pury ns the government, they are either without its couf- not to reveal ist of by the dence, or under t tf 7 egularly pu appointments plaud every 1h lomos with extreets from t sub cete; but they are condition of our own pu A citp between a Mr. Dov oa the one side, and Thomas f ut mad e CTiptions cabinet Dg they fill their co. from Load i letiers stale old e Brit a sand Mr. Hurke wing, the buteher, Dow to monopolize the It is charged that gardener, pr prudent tary have a house at the dimintshed reat of three huncr { thie paltry t quires the ewe f two or tt a day, by the org In the nieantune what Mr. Clayton matum on the Nica: like to know age cases; the rel. with Austria, Rome and the eat progress of the Rea ce tin Solow with & and the co quarters of the world ist editorial bot sof Mr. wing offered Mr vided he would let th decre- wo or or ee is ewosh the transsetioa, ke to know is his wii» They would ad reat 1 proepect the ne; the state of our diplomati hA wth J r rel s with Chine r rela afl ne mail e zarded a all these Wasbiag- t dom e as the eub-treae ere, the tariff, 4 per subjects for the things, the present slog ton leave the duty of er letter writers, and the eorrespondente, rea The fact is, the ee e ergans is the their whol to pail, blow, to disguise or conceal the doings of the « binet, to eecure the pluader of the public pria and to humbug the people.

Taylor will be vindicated before the country. Therefore Mr. Maxwell and other incumbents throughout the country, may not be confirmed by the United States Senate. No wonder, then, that there is dan- ger ahead, in the opinion of those gentlemen. Taxation 1N 1850.—The assessment roll for the year 1850 has not yet made its appearance, not- withstanding that it has been ealled for so often.— Now, if it be not forthcoming before the day of election, there is but one inference that can be drawn, and that is, thatthe taxation for the next year is so enormous that the corrupt party at pre- sent in power dare not exhibit it. No other con- ctusion can be arrived at; and it would be well for the public, especially the tax-payers, to bear this in mind. Its retention so long behird the usual time, is conclusive proof of what we have repeatedly ated, that the present municipal authorities have been guilty of gross extravagance in disposing of the public funds. The Beard of Supervisors are bound by law to deliver the assessinent roll of each ward to the receiver of taxes, on or before the twenty-fifth day of September in each year. And yet it has not been delivered. What is the reason for the delay this year? Is it because the party at present in power, not satified with being more extravagant than any of their predecessors, wish to involve the city in a batch of law-suits, in order to decide the question of the legality of the assess- ments, on the ground that the law has net been complied witht In Fon a Lona Session.—The Washington let- ter-writers are smacking their lips at the prospect of a most exciting, important and lengthy session ot Congress. They have mformed the public, among other indications, that certain members of Congress have rented their houses till August, with the refusal till October, if required. There can be no doubt that the ensuing session will be one ot the most momentous in the history of the country. It will make terrible havoc among the politicians and party crockery ; but it will be a sort of secoad advent to the letter-writers. Cliques, and parties, and cabinets, may be upset and turned out of doors ; but that will be the very stuff for the letter- writers. The good time is coming. Wuicu 1s tue Bicarst?—The Sun and the Journal of Commerce are charging each other with getting up the California excitement, by publishing false accounts from that region, and thereby lead™ ing a great many people into distress. They seem to make out a good case against each other; but those chaps who got up the Plainfield Bank, and other swindles—not forgetting the recent Cuba humbug—ought to carry off the most merit.

Putnam's Hall is a sort of remdezvous of the colored men, so called from the name of the proprietor, who is one of them. in the second floor we observed @ colored military com- pany, under drill of thelr officers; and it was in that room it was understood the meeting was to be held.

Dr Grasse was appointed seoretary, A committee, consisting of Messrs Downing, Zuille, ‘Tyron and Townrend, were appointed, to draw up reso- lut 4 k; be first resolution submitted to the meeting was as follows :— Resolved, That int! pinion of this meeting, it is the solemn duty of the ten or twelve hundred colored voters ip the city and county of New York. to exercise the right which they possess, and te vindicate the same at each and every election. Mr. Downrne stropgly advocated this resolution, and maintained that it would be better for the colored vo- tere to exercise their right to vote, if they were only to seratch out every name on the tickets, [t was the opi- nion of some of the oppressed race to which he belong- ed, that it was useless to exercise their privilege, as both the political parties were dishonest, and no good could be achieved by identification with either of them. But this was not bis opinion; tor they would rise or fall in public estimation, Just as they exerted or neglected the franchires which the constitution conferred upon | them. It was their own fault that they did not elevate themeelves above their present condition. None of them labored as they ought for the intengsts of tree- dom, If they did not eome forward to vote, would be deemed unworthy of the privilege, and the little po- litical power i, Baesd possessed would be taken frem them, instead of having, as they might have, the suf- frage extended upon the same broad basis as it was poeressed by the white man. There being little or no opposition, this resolution was adopted. ‘The next resolution laid before the meeting was the following :— Reselved, That it is inexpedient for us, at the pre- sent time, to identify ourselves with either of the great political parties, only so faras they are subservient to our interests. : Mr Guicron (who appears to be of French white and negro descent) ridiculed the ides of their waking ei or | of the parties subservient, Where was their power to do so, with their twelve handred votes ?

ONE WEEK’S LATER NEWS FROM EUROPE. &4&RERIV AL or Tus SIEAMSHIP HIBERNIA AT HALIFAX; Our overland express from Halifax, with the news brought by the Hibernia at Halifax, arrived at Sackville about eleven o’clock yesterday fore- noon. About twelve o'clock, we ascertained from Sackville, N. B., the eastern terminus of the line, that the operator at that place had gone tohis dinner, leaving the European news, so long and anxiously expected by the Hibernia, wntouched, in the telew graph office. The wires between this city and Sackville, and’ all those to ail pomts, north, south, and west of this city, were, and had been ali the morning, in perfect working order ; and yet, to enable one individual —the operator at Sackville—to eat his dinner at twelve, instead of one or two o'clock, the com- mercial classes throughout the country are kept out of the news, obtained ata great expense, trom twenty-four to thirty-six hours. Such conduct on the part of the operator at Sackville deserves the severest punishment the telegraph company can mete out to him. The Hibernia left Liverpool on Saturday, the 20th ult. We are advised, by our express agent, that she will not arrive at Uiis port till to-morrow morning; also, that the general news from Europe is of no importance.

There was considerable interest among the Jews of this city to hear Dr. Raphall, who arrived in this country a few days ago, preach his first sermon. The prayers of the congregation and members assembled at Elm street synagogue commenced at 10 o’cloek, yesterday, and were continued for some hours, with the peculiar solemnities and for- malities of the people of the Jews. At the con- clusion of the services and chaunting, Dr. Ra- phall ascended the pulpit, and addressed the con- gregation as followe— .My Frrenns—Among the many and varied pri- vileges we enjoy, there is not ove »o great as that which is given us of hearing the exposition of God’s holy law frem a God-fearing man. He sees around him hundreds of thoee whom God has brought to worchip him. On every brow he sees the dignity of human nature stamped. All, of all ages and sex, young and old, are sitting here to hear the instruction which Lehallgive you. If this is gratifying to the man, how mueh more is it gra- tly ing to foteogiy tape | nan tospread knowledge nromnd, to awaken the feeling of religion, and to lead Israelites to worship uecording to the laws of their fathers. ‘The exp: rience of all ages showa that there is nO power 80 preat to work upon the mind, for geod or for evil, as the power of the pulpit.

Another question is, that since, after eane was not killed, what was the object of this event, which led ty nothing?
