Sorkin ou Be There is only one matter in dispute between Fog Smith and the press. It is a very simple at- fair, although various attempts have been made to get up false issues, under the smoke of which that amiable gentleman has attempted to secure the sympathy and support of the eommunity. Fog Smith desired that the associated press should have as their agent at Halifax, an agent of his selection. He insisted that the press should discharge their regular agent. To this preposterous demand, the associated press, in justice to themselves and the community whom they served, gave a prompt and explicit demial. Fog Smith thereupon notified the press, that because they would not discharge their agent, and employ another, of his selection, he would not transmit any news to the associated press, as long as they continued that agent in their em- ploy. The associated press immediately made other arrangements; and to their gratification, and toa certain degree astonishment, found that Bain’s and House’s lines of telegraph, which connect this city with Boston, were capable of transmittung intelli- gence as accurately, speedily, and satisfactorily, in every other respect, as the line which Fog Smith controls. From that time to the preseat, they have got on very well, independently of Mr. Smith, who no doubt thought that because he had control over-the telegraph, he could regulate the press of the country too. Thus faz, at all events, Mr. Fog Smith has very good evidence that he miecalcu- lated. But the success of the new telegraph hnes has caused Mr. Fog Smith to hit upon another expe- dient for heading off the public, which he hopes will be attended with better success. This expe- dient 18, to apply to the Supreme Court ef the United States for an injunction against the new lines from Boston to New York, on the ground that Bain’s and House’s telegraphs interfere with Morse’s patent. The application will be made about the first of March. Now, in this matter, we are not disposed te over- look the claims of Professor Morse, who is en- titled to all the merit attaching to his discovery. But it 18 a dangerous power to be placed in one man’s hands. If it 18 to be placed in the hands of an individual ike Mr. Smith, and used for the purpose of dictating to and controlling the press of the whole country, the public cer- tainly will not submit to it; and the Supreme Court of the United States will deliberate a long time before they will, by their decision, sanc- tion such a system of intolerance and mono- poly, and continue such a gigantic instru- ment of oppression in the hands of one man; and the press have not the remotest expectation that any Judge of the Supreme Court of the United States would lend himself to Mr. Smith, and help him in gratifying his vindictive feelings towards the public, by issuing an injunction prohibiting the working of the new lines. If it shall appear before him that there 18 a reasonable ground for Mr. Smith’s applying for an injunction, the AMUSEMENTS TO-MORROW BVENING. ITALIAN OPERA HOUSE, Astor Place—Non ua.

The Meeting at Tammany Hall. ‘We give, in another column, a report of a s0- ealled union meeting at Tammany Hall, last even- ing: but it was anything but a union meeting. It | appears that another meeting has been called, and | the «dvertisement convening it will be found in | another column. Signs of Returning Reason, It seems that the Legislature of the State of Massachusetts decided on Friday last, by a vote of two hundred and sixty-eight to one, that the fanatics who petitioned that body for a dissolution ef the Union might have leave to withdraw their petitions. Mr. Tolman, of Worcester, was the member who voted in the negative. If we are not very much mistaken, Mr. Talman, in common with the other members of the Legislature of Mas- sachusetts, while taking the customary oath that members of that body must take, swore solemnly, that he would support the constitution of the United States. If he did so, we would like to know how he reconciles his vote on those petitions with that oath. ‘This, however, is a matter purely personal. We are glad to see that there 1s some evidence of re- yurning reason in Massachusetts; and the una- nimity with which this vote was carried will be some recompense to the Southern States for the injury which the Boston fanatics have inflicted on them. It will show that the people ef New Eng- land are not quite so demented as one might sup- y ose, on the slavery question. While on this subject, we think this a good op- portunity to refer to the folly and nonsense per- petrated by the legislatures of this and other Northern States, in passing resolutions “expressive cf the wiil of the people,” as they facetiously call it, on the slavery question, and apparently designed to have an effect on the deliberations of Congress. Now thore would-be important gentlemen know very well, that in nine umes out of ten, er we might say in ninety-nine times out of a hundred, that they do not express the will of the people on hat question, and they know fully as well that heir expressions of it, or their resolutions, are ntended for a very different purpose. That pur- Pore is to make a little capital for themselves. They have no more to do with the deliberations of Congress than Congress has to do with the dirty streets of New York, which, by the way, are as filthy now as they ever were, and they know it. Besides that, in going out of their way to “express he will of the people,” they have neglected their own legitimate business, which they are paid to | attend to. We have seen enough of this humbug ia our own State Leguslature this winter; and the resolutions recently passed by that body om the slavery question ere, as an expression of the people ot the Expire State, entitled to just as much as they are worth—which 18, nothing at all. Bain’s and House’s telegraphs to give bonds to respond in damages ; but it 1s idle to suppose that an injunction would be allowed. Those gentlemen are ready to give bonds to any amount that may be required ; and when they are given, Mr. Smith will be foiled in his last and most desperate attempt to dictate to the newspaper press of the country. More Boston Notrions—Mr. Wurrrie’s ANaLy- sis oF Wenerer, CaLnoun anp CLay.—Boston, the literary Athens, in which it would be difficult to find an Athenian, sometimes furnishes remarkable notions. It has, however, little disposition to | nurse and foster its own intellectual children, } though ever ready to entertain for a season or two any literary lion of accredited talent. It creates a | great number of clever men, who inevitably perish | if they remain on the soil of their orgin. They must be transplanted, if they would fourish. The mere acquisition of wealth, under the constant garb of puritanism, being the general characteris- tic of Bostonians, art, literature and even theology, have to seek another abiding place.

Though the whole scene is stupendously absurd, yet it is neh in peculiarities, costumes and tricks. The wardrobe and properties have been obtained by a special, though somewhat indiscriminate levy upon the goods of the cemmoners, who are dazzled by the lustre of this black diamond of civilization; and before the drama is finished and the curtain falls, many additional properties may be brought for- ward, to enhance the spleador of the remarkable spectacle. At present, while a descent upon the Dominicans has been determined upon, the fuads obtained by the various robberies and arrests daily taking place, are only sufficient to dress those super- numeraries necessary to give brilliancy to the court scenes, and to provide the royal jewels for the em- prese, who is the only efficient ruler of the mock- emperor, and who insists upon having all the para- phernalia of a queen, in spite of the desire of her dusky consort to enter upon the war scenes of his third act. Nothing is now noticed beyond dresses, decorations, processions, and royal edicts, if we except the occasional beheading of some individual, whose money 1s more useful tothe State than hislife. It is true that the heroine of the drama is rather a Meesalina in her taste for lovers and admirers; but what would such royalty be without conferring fa- vors on the polished gentry of her court. All would be insipid—a dull round of monotonous display. In- deed, Faustin himeelf is uneasy in the precincts of the palace. He pants once more for the field of battle, by which he mounted to the eminence on which he stands; and little can be expected of him in the way of government, unless it is of the primi- tive and warlike character. There is something ominous in his being born witheut a neck. He may, possibly, save his head by this fortunate de- privation of nature; for the perfectly loose manner in which he conducts the affairs ot Hayti will eventually bring him into danger, if it do not de- prive him of his life. He will rush upon destruc- tion, if he can obtain the sinews of war, and per- haps Christendom could not do a more _philanthro- pic thing than furnish him with the means of bring- ing his drama to an end. It being a legitimate drama—a natural one, arising from natural circum stances—an appeal can be made to support it with- out any dereliction from good taste. It is a pity he should be obliged to act his dismal scene with- out aseistance. Could not some of our abolition- ists help the emperor in this crisis?’ They are anx- ious, probably, to have their anticipations and prophecies realized; and by furnishing the means for testing the long agitated question, whether or not the full-blooded African is capable of self-go- vernment in his present moral condition, they will not have to deplore that their experiment failed for want of contingencies. Or, we could well spare some two or three hundred abolitionists as coun- sellors of the dark forehead of empire. Their ser- vices might be made more valuable in a struggling government than in our own. Here their labors terminate in sound, fury, explosions and smoke. There, under the refinement and opaque brilliancy of the ladies of the court, they might indulge in those Arcadian dreams which have so mysterious- ly haunted their fancies; and, at the same time, their philanthropy might ooze out, judiciously, for some of those who have been arrested and deprived of their property, that the wheels of the govern- ment should move freely. With Hale for prime minister, and Giddings for chancellor of the ex- chequer, there would be hopes for the reign of Fauetin the First. In another view of this subject, we are impressed with the necessity of some action on the part of | our government te restrain the excessive extor- tions made upon our commercial men at Haytien | ports. The dark autocrat, who pronounces him- | self to be second enly to God, 18 severe upon fo- reign merchants and sea captains; and though he has arisen to distinction after being the ostler of Boyer, he cannot write his own name, but is not imposing upon those who visit the island. On the | contrary, Faustin believes there is no government stronger than his own, and no emperor more ex- alted in the arts of peace and war. Upon our citi- | zens he has laid heavy contributions; and Captain Cutts, of the brg Hayti, who proceeded to | Washington, last week, to place information be- | fore the government, has stories to tell of the ra- | pacity of this Feustia, which, we trust, will result | in stationing a man-of-war at the island, for the | protection of American traders. Captain Cutts is one of those who has been plundered by this mae rauder. Nearly half of his cargo was sacrificed to swell the treasury of the Haytien government, and no remonetrances were of any avail towards obtaming a resutution of his property. Surely | something may be done to put an end to such evils | —und the golden-booted despot be made to learn, | that though he paid a thousand dollars for his un- | derstanding, he cannot become a@ free-booter on | the industry of our citizens. | Rewer ror tue Hacve Sraest Svrrerens.— | The subscription for the relief of the Hague street | sufferers amounts, thus far, to the sam of six | teen thousand dollars and upwards; and in all pro- | bability at will be ewelled to twenty thousand, and, | pethaps twenty-fivethousand, before this day week In several of the churches, collections will be taken to-day for this object; and in addition to the sum that will be thas realized, the whole net receipts ot the Astor Place Opera House, on Tuesday evening next, will be placed at the disposal of the relief committee. This generous act on the part of Max Maretzek, entitles him to the thanks of the com- munity, and it is to be hoped that the Opera House will be filled on that evening. Police 1 gence.
