New York, Sunday, April 14, 1850, abinet at Washington, and thelr Fo- relgn Policy, One of the organs of the cabinet has published the letter of instructions written by Mr. Clayton, Secretary of State, to Mr. A. Dudley Mann, the special and confidential agent of the United States to Hungary, for the purpose of vindicating that gen- tlemen from the charges that have been brought eonsidered of no importance, and Faustin himself tinslled looked upon in no other light than that of a unsettled baboon, very little is thought of anything he seys or does. Yet we think that these last outrages should be imanedintely redressed. tis very well known that the nigger population of Hayti, including the empe- ror aml all the members of the government, enter- tain very hostile feelings towards the United States, and have resorted to every possible method to harrass American merchants residing there, and, if possible, drive them from the island. No me- thod has been left untried to annoy them; and the consequence is, that our trade with the island has greatly fullen off, und will eventually be destroyed, unless strong measures be taken to make those niggers respect the American flag and the rights of American citizens. We understand that two na- tional vessels are on their way to Hayti, to de mand the immediate release of the American Con- sul, who was still in custody when we received our last advices from there. It is to be hoped that against him, of tuking an anti-American, anti-na- tional and anti-democratic course towards Hungary and other European nations, while they were en- gaged in a strugyle for freedom with despotism in that quarter of the world. This letter was intro- duced with a great flourish of trumpets, and predic- tions were made that, when it would be submitted to the people of the United States, those members of the opposition who called for it in their seats in Congress, and the opponents of the cabinet gene- rally, would be annihilated—that it would prove to the world the falsity of the charges that were thus made against the cabinet, and especially against Mr. Clayton, Secretary of State. | ‘This letter of instructions to the special agent to | Hlungary purports to have been written in the month of June last. We have read it attentively, and are free to admit that, as far as it goes, it contains mo tentiments to which the American people of all parties will not cheerfully respond. Notwith- standing this, however, we persist in reitera- ting whet we have always maid on this sub | Ject, that the foreign policy of the cabinet, and of Mr. Clayton, has been anti-national and anti-American. It will be bore in mind that this letter of inetructions was a private and confi- dential document, which, however, might at any time be called for, and required to be produced to Congress. 1t is not very likely, therefore, that Mr | Clayton would put on record any sentiments but Shose which he supposed would be coincided in by ‘the bulk of the Americen people. He would notbe wo devoid of common sagacity as to commit him- self in that manner. But how do those sentiments @orrespond with Mr. Clayton's public conduct in @onnection with our foreign policy, since his indue~ tion into office 1 We aver that they do not corre- spond ut all—that there is no affinity or analogy be- Sween them. The views given privately to Mr. Mann are the reverse of those which directed the adminittratien policy, not only towurds Hungary, beat towards Germany, in the old world, as well as Bowards Cuba, in the new. The public do not Borget the measures that were adopted, at the inst- gation of the cabinet, to prevent the sailing of the Steamship United States, until bonds in « heary amount were given thal ehe would not be used in the canse of freedom, against despotism in Ger- many. That proceeding spoke trumpet-tongued of | what the real sentiments of the cabinet were to warde struggling liberty in Europe, and showed @onclusively and satiefactorily that while Mr. Clay- ten could indite honeyed words, and make profes sions of sympathy with the Hungarian putriots, in their rtrozole to recover thejz nationality from the ‘wreep of Aurtrian deepotiem, they were openly aathg the powers of the government to stifle the yearnings of @ portion of the Germans for liberty and free- dom. What sympathy has been expressed with | the Italian States, or with Rome—the gallant and Brave people of which, in their struggles with priestcraft and despotiem, religious as well as civil, | pedeemed the ancient capital of the world from the slurs of centuries, and proved, to the admiration and gratification of the friends of liberty every- where, that the old Roman epirit yet lives and flourieher, us strongly as ever, in the breasts of her tmhabitants? None—not a particle. While they were astonishing Murope by their daring in battle and their moderation in the hour of triumph, instead of « welcome hand being ex- tended to them by the United States, they were met with « cold and chilly silence, that curried indifference with it to the minds of all. Look, igo, at the conduct of the cabinet towards @ubea,when an expedition wae organized, at the ex- pense of the inhabitants of that beantifal island, derigned to assist them in redeeming that Weetern ™ Gem of the Sea” from the eapricions, tyrannical oppressive, and exacting dominion of Old Spain Instead of eympathizing with the Cubans in their holy and patriotic purposes and objects, the in- fluence of his office, and the naval power of the @ountry, were used by Mr. Clayton to prevent any Maetrrection by the people of Cuba to release them- selves from the oppreestve thraldom ander which they had groaned and suffered so long. This was sympathy with a vengeance—euch «ympathy as the Bion shows to the lam!—the hrwk to the dove. It is apparent, therefore, that the attempt recent Ay made to relieve Mr. Clayton and hie associates fm the cabinet from the opprobrium justly cast apon Shem, on account of the policy which they adopted Sowards nations #truggling for liberty, «ince they got in power in Washington, has been a complete thilure. Mr. Clayton has epoken one way and act- edanother. Like the Thames wherryman, he Booked one way and pulled the other. The truth is, he wanted moral courage and an energy direct- ed by conacientions and patriotic motives, to take any other course than what he did pane, which war one of deception, duplicity, and double dealing of the meanest character. He had a noble oppor- Sunity—one, indeed, that rarely oceurs—to evince sympathy and aid, and asset, by deeds as well as by words or professions, the down-trodden and Pouch oppressed people ef Europe and of the Ieiand of Cabo, in attaining their just politicnl rights. He was unequal to the task; he possessed no moral eourage—he tottered and fell; and all the efforts of hile organs cannot clear him of the eharge. Ma.

Tre Goversment Printing at Wasnrxctox.— Great complaint is made, in Washington, by the members of both houses of Congress, on the loose, imperfect, and unsatisfactory manner in which the government printing isdone. We are now in the fifth month of the session, and, w yet, but few of the public documents which were ordered to be printed, have been laid before Congress. The con- tract system has been pronounced a failare, and it is very evident that it is. We have frequently suid that, sooner or later, the government must do its own printing. Until it does, there will be uo satisfaction, and the wants of the government will not be attended to. There would be no difficulty at «ll in forming a bureau, in connection with the Home Department, to be culled the “Bureau of Public Printing.” A corps of re- porters could be organized very e and the pro- ceedings of both houses might be published every day, in a journal established for the purpose. The same bureau might take charge of the printing of ull public documente and have it done speedily and satisfactorily. The French government partially follows a system of this character. The Moniteur, the orgun of the government, is published by the government; and if we introduced the plan into Washington, we are satisfied that it, would be at- tended with a great many benefits. It is certain that all the plane which have been tried heretofore have failed. Mr. Wentworth, of Illinois, said, in hie seat in the House of Representatives, on Thurs day Just, that more millionaires had been made out of the public printing than by any other mode, and that be intended to discuss the subject at another time. Mr. Wentworth is perfectly right in his views, and we hope he will procure the passage of abill forming « bureau of the Home Department, provided that department be not abolished, the business of which will be to do the government printing, und make the lazy fellows who are get- ting nich on the ubuses that are now practised, seek seme other mode of living. The sooner the reform be curried into effect, the better, and the more eco- , Romical aad satisfactory it will be for all concerned. Tux Senrcrion Triat.—We this day pubkesh the reeult of the action for seduction, which has occupied the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and delighted the morbid taste of congregated lovers of immoral exhibitions, for six days. The jury have rendered a verdict for the plaintiff for $1,800, thus placing their estimate upon what they believed to be virtue, and marking their condemna- tion of what, doubtless, they also believed to be the wet of the defendant. suid, will not rest here, and we shall have another which was sworn to on this trial Here, we had « young girl, of no mean personal attractions, brought up to the age of budding wo- | manhood without education or meatal cultare; na almost in ignorance of every species of literary knowledge, except euch as #he could glean from the perusal of the works of olbecene French writers, of the Paul de Kock school. It is « fact, nnd daily occurrences convince us of the truth of our amer- tion, that more misery to the young mind, more inroads upon virtue, and more achievements in the | fall of women, are effected through the cireulation of those cheap and uachaste yellow-covered novela, than by deliberate plane. Think of a young girl of 16 years of age, in the present century, sent toa factory, to herd with men and boys of her own age, primed for her association ¥ obscene pictures and” immoral books, and, as Sir Peter Teaale says, “ what are we to expect Verily, we were inclined to fancy, that we were wafted by mogic back to the seenes of America in her infancy, when she had thrust upon her shores the profligate and abandoned of all nations; of to the early days of France, when, we question if such | instances were ever there surpassed.

Haynes appears to be very worthily engaged in attempts to abolish the barbarous praetice of punishment by the | scourge. His efforts, however, will fuil of Produe- | ing any good reenlt, unless he ean awake Cong to some action on the subject. "The practice ging is as old as the time of Cyrus, and was i dulged in to compel the Asiatics to go to battle. From that time to the present, it has been the dis- gTaceful policy of several countries to keep up this miserable barbaric custom. In the French navy it does not exist; but in the Engtish army and navy, it has yet its supporters, Among others, Field Mar- shal, the Duke of Wellington, maintains the neces sity foreustaining this cruel custom—without which, he contends, it would be impossible to maintain wholesome discipline. We have some small imi- tators of the Iron Duke in this country, aleo; but the whole system is fo repugnant to the general feeling of the people of this eountry, that Congress could be well employed in adopting some new po- licy with respect to punishment in the naval service. ‘When the new cabinet comes in, we may hope for & commencement in this reform. We are aware of the arguments used in defence of the practice; but they are grounded upon nothing but old traditions, recorded by Herodotus and Coro ner Wakley of London; and the sooner they are ex- ploded by such liberal views as govern the discipline of the French navy, the more beneficial will it be to our eeamen, and the more creditable to our country. Who that has been stripped and lashed by the lo rarit of a man-of-war, has not had his moral sense wholly blasted by the degrading infliction? Who that has thus suffered by the lash, does not feel that custom is a heartless tyrant, and that people ‘who support such tyranny are participators in the act? It is in vain to hope, from a wholly disgraced man, bowed down with the infamy of such a punish- ment, anything less than a bitter and dangerous contempt for laws,and the people who sustain them. And above all, the genius of our institutions is op- posed to such degrading barbarity, which was the characteristic of Rome in its most degenerate days. The Romans, however, did not permit the mischief of the system to take effect upon society. They followed up their whippings with the crucifixion of their vietim—as did the Jews, also, as recorded in the history of Jesus Christ. That we should se long have tolerated such an evil, is astonishing. Yet we must not despair. Our legislators must examine the eubjeet, and adopt plans of # more wholesome character for discipline in the navy. Men are always more readily led than driven—and a humane and liberal kind of punishment for insubordination would result in ele- vating the character of our seamen, and diminish much the opportunitics for exercising severity. Let Congress get rid of the lumbering old cabinet that does no good and much evil, and then give a half an hour to this eubject. Throw away the cat-o'-nine tails, Toracco ann Buacnevannism.—Philosopher Greeley, the busy socialist, has applied his usual logic to demonstrate that tobacco and blackguard- iem reenlt each from the other. A blackguard, he rays, is naturally a user of tobacco, anda user of tobacco, necessarily, a blackgnard. The truth of | hie argument is as great 4s that of most his articles on political and social subjects. Our definition of a bleckguard docs not necessarily imply, however, that he must use tobacco. When we find a man exclaiming, “ You lie, you villain, basely, wilfully, lie,” we know him to be a blackguard. When we eee @ man with a dirty shirt, his coat collar inva- Tiably put owt of shape, his trowsers hitched up over his muddy, cow hide boote, or behold him at 4 publie table, gulping down everything before him, like an animal who really belongs to a pen, then | we suspect the blackguard is before us. And when we observe a man with an old greasy hat, wearing @ thread-bare, white cout for year, and, with money enough, preaching about associations of labor and on giving employment to tailors, hatters and seamptresses, to whom he seldom gives any other eneouragement than empty words, then we invariably think of political bleckguardiem and | imposture. In fact, we are well convinced that | there are more ways than one of * being up to envfi,” and that we have a practical illustration of it in our cotemporary every day. This blast of the Tribune socialist, however, is not against the tobacco itself, any more than was the ‘‘counter-blast” of King James, of Scotland. It is another attack upon the South. Its purpose is | to injure the sele of a Southern staple; and we | shall expect cotton to be shown to be a useless and | dangerous article one of these days, and by similar | logic and illustrations.

Lady Bevins broke up badly before reaching the back stretch, and Dan miller took her place in chase of Cayuga Maid; but made little ground on her until she had reached the home stretch. Lady Bevins, before she recovered from her break. had fallen in the rear about 80 yards; but after recovering, she made such a tremen duous brush that she was close up with the others a= they came up the home stretch to the seore, Dan and the Maid contesting the ground inch by ineh; in fact, the struggle on the last quarter of this heat’ was ex: tremely exciting.

Coming up the streteh to the rcore, the eontest was animating, and the ekill and dexterity of the drivers, ax well noge. were finely developed.

Time, 2:35. Third Heat. Miller was now entirely deserted by his former backers, who wore flying about in all di- rections, trying to hedge as much as possible of the previous investments. The betting, however, beeame active on the two mares. Previous to the nee for this heat. the driver of Miller told the judges to give the word if the other horses came up to the stand as he intended to take a trailing position. mares reached the stand head to and war given: but on looking at Miller, it’ wae he had broken up previous tothe word This accident cceasioned considerable the part of the crowd; but it is one of the that cannot be avoided aa long as judges frcm drivers, The result was that the horse was distanee.
