Let us toke a cursory glance at the disastrous | influence which the agitation of similar theories produerd on the whig party, in times past. In the year 1826 the whig party were in power, with the proepect of maintaining their ascendancy | for a quarter of a century, and as mach longer as they pleased. The lute John Quiney Adams was President, and Mi ary of State. There wos nothing in the fature before them, but wecendaney in the national government and through. | eut the Stutes, if they did not abuse the position | which they enjoyed. About the time we speak | of, Thomas Skidme ‘wnny Wright, and some other wild enthusiasts of that ilk, commenced the agitation of the very same doctrines and thee which are now revived by the Greeleys, Brisbanes, Danas, and their at the present day ‘The anti-masonic exctement, set oa toot by Thur- Clay was Seere' useociate tow Weed, spreug up about that time in the weat Skidmore was a leading whig and ward politi- cian, end tecked his visionary ideas on the whig paity, as ¢ ley ts doimg at this tis and it is a matter of history, that the disorga- nizing course pursued by th socialists, in that doy, eid the foundation for the defeat of the whig poity, led to the pre ation of t Adams ad- Binistration, and subsequently produced the defeat of Henry Cly, the greatest man of that age, as he is of the present. All the calamities whieh have occurred to that party, from that time to this, may be directly t dto the cause to which we have adverted—the introduction of disorganizing and de- m of th rty, structive iems ito the not, at is generally s 1, 10 the superior popn- larity of ponent The whig purty then, as itis now, Was a great uational, democratic, w ly patrictie y.

The great chempion of the perty, the great and illustrious Henry Cley, with a megaenimity and a patriotism thet de him the greetest honer, has thrown himself in the breech, ond, alinoet single-handed and alone, has defended the con n from the essauits of | its enemies, ond thus for saved the Union.

The clique of German, French, English and American socialists, with dirty faces and long beards, who control and write in that paper, have revived the dangerous and destructive isms of the Fanny Wright and Skidmore school, and are adopting precisely the same course which those agra- rions and disorganizers followed in the years 1826 and 1827, and which, as we have stated, laid the foundation of the defeat and prostration of the whig party throughout the nation at that time. Greeley is endeavoring, by writing, to instil into the minds of the mechanics and working-men of this city the isms and theories which caused so much disaster to the whig party formerly; and the long-bearded German and Freach socialists are going around town every night, deing the same, by addressing the mechanies and working-men of New York. All the ridiculous, absurd and impracticable visions of socialism and red-republicanism, which have baen imported from France, Germany and England, da- ling the last two years, are dressed out in fine lan- guage, and the idea held forth to the mechanics and working men, that if they but adopt them, and use their political influence at the ballot box, to engraft them on the legislation of the country, the earth will be converted into a paradise—the republic will flow with milk and honey—and the mechanic and the poor man will enjoy a perpetual elysium. ‘We have, from time to time, in the discharge of our duty as a conservator of the interests of soci- ety, as a deadly opponent to such theories as those put forth by the socialists, inthe columns of the New York Tribune, warned the mechanies and working-men against the course pursued by that journal, and cautioned them against being lured and duped by its specious arguments, and the plau- sible and destructive theories which the clique of socialists, of all colors, shades and countries, who are connected with it, are endeavoring to instil into their minds. But that duty is only half dis- We have now to warn the friends of the illustrious Henry Clay, and of the whig party ge- nerally, to beware of what they are doing. That journal and its clique of socialists, are doing them and their champion more injury than perhaps they are aware of. Should Greeley, Brisbane, and their associates be permitted to indulge much longer in their present course, there will, before leng, bea collision between the different classes of society— the worst passions of the mass will be loosed— scenes of riot and insurrection will ensue—and then will come a reaction, which the party which tolerates such a course in one of its organs, will feel, as well as the guilty inciters. Successive de- feats and disasters for another quarter of a century will be the penalty. We speak words of truth and soberness, and we caution the whig party as to what they are doing. They may yet have reason | to advert to what we now say, with sorrow that they did not take warning in time. Arrival or A Swepisn Stoor or War.—The Swedish sloop of , Najaden, Capt.

In the House, Stanley, of North Carolina, asked leave to offer a resolution in reference to the acts of persons holding office under the administra~ tion of Mr. Polk. The design of Mr. Stanley was to throw ridicule on the serious charges made againet Mr, Secretary Ewing. ‘The offering of the resolution was objected to, and went over. An amusing scene occurred in the House. Mr. Stan- ton, of the naval committee, brought in a joint re- solution, authorizing the President to accept and attach to the Navy the two vessels offered by Mr. Grinnell, of New York, to go to the Arctic Ocean, after Sir John Franklin. After a long debate, with numerous references and amendments, one, that it touch at Round Island, in the Gulf of Mexico, to ascertain what had become of the persons lately assembled, which was received with hisses, and cries of “order,” it was laid on the table. The reso- lution for the expedition was passed over, and the House went into Committee of the Whole, on the census bill. Some debate occurred, when the committee rose, and the House adjourned. Many petitions were presented in the Senate. A debate took place in regard to the printing. Mr. Mangum expreseed himself strongly in regard to the establishment of a government printing-office. That is the only sensible course which the Senate should pursue. Let some intelligent, practical man be selected to superintend and direct such an estab- lishment, and it will succeed, and accomplish ex- actly what is to be desired—prompt and economical printing for that body. Such a man as Richard Sutton, who is, we believe, one of the Senate re- porters, is precisely the practical man that is needed. Give him $3,000 per annum, and authority to es- tablish a government printing-office on a scale equal to the necessities of the case, and to issue, daily, during the session, a journal, which shall contain a full and true acount of every thing that takes place, and to contain no speeches or proceedings that do not take place. The saving to the government, each year, would be enormous, and the whole Union would approve such an esta- blishment unanimously. Let the Senate appoint a committee to report the facts connected with the public printing since 1820—the enormous sums that have been squandered and wasted; the millions that have been spent on Gales and Seaton, Blair and Rives, Ritchie and Heiss, and others—and contrast them with the estimates which could be made of what the government printing would cost for the next ten years, under the direction of an honest, intelligent man, like Mr. Sutton. There would be another great object gained. The go- vernment money would not be worse than wasted, as it now is—not only to fatten a few individuals and presses, but in keeping up newspapers that are rotten and corrupt, and who are doing more to keep alive the cursed spirit of party, to incite the masses of the people to strife, for the spoils and plunder, which is their own and only life blood. The present alarming crisis be- tween the two sections has been brought about, and kept up, mainly by the Washington papers, who derive their support and enormous incomes Intelligencer have waxed fat and saucy upon these funds: and the Republic, the organ of the cook cabinet of our worthy President, is anxious to be fat also. Abolish private contracts, and establish the government printing office, and a good work will have been begun, whose blessed fruits to the whole Union no man can estimate. on the printing was postponed until to-day. After the executive session, the Senate adjourned. The Senate unanimously confirmed W. V. Brady | as Postmaster of New York. This looks rather ominous for the confirmation of Mr. Hugh Maxwell, as Collector of this city, It will be remembered that ex-Governor Young and ex-Mayor Brady were applicants for the Collectorship, against Mr. | Maxwell, and the unanimous action of the Senators in favor of Mr. Brady makes it very clear that there will be a strong opposition against Mr. Maxwell, and he may be defeated in the Senate. | Richard Wallach was confirmed as Marshal of the District of Columbia. He is a popular Washingtonian, and has given great satisfaction in the performance of the duties of his office sinee he has held it. Other marshals and post- masters, Whose names we have not heard, were confirmed. The remainder of the New York ap- pointments will lie over until the return of Se- | nator Dickinson, who is absent in the South, with the commitiee from the Senate, who went with | Mr. Calhoun’s body to Columbia.

The Manorial Title Case, ‘BY MORSE’S MAGNETIC TELEGRATH. Huson, April 25, 1850. The Court opened at 9 o'clock A.M. Mr. Bov THEKLanp resumed his argument for nonsuit. He argued that patents could not be attacked by the people; that they were stopped and debarred in that respect, They hnd succeeded to the rights of colonial government, and were bound by its action, They were bound by an acquiescence of 150 years—by the receipt of quit rents, and by acts reiting and recog- nixing the manors, He claimed that the Legislature were bound, by their various acts, in the same manner as agrantor in a deed; and at the present time the prosecution had no right to say that the names of places mentioned in the patent were not the same as now, and thereby attempt to show that more land was claimed by defendant than is included in the patent— that names had changed, and that names once appli- cable to large tracts, must now be confined to small places. That in the lifetime of Robert Livington, the manor was all one lot ; that part of it was occu- pied by him, and that part of it was woodland. That after bis decease, the manor was divided into four great lots, He eontended that each of these great lots, though sub-divided into farms, was actually oc- cupied by the devisees under the will, aid tenants holding under them in the manor, so as to constitute adverse possession for the State; that the people of this State had succeeded to all the rights of the crown, except as to lands granted to others, or lost by adverse possession; that even grant- ing the title tobe bad, and that it was procured by fraud in the first instance, it had been held by the devisees under the defendant’s will, who stood in the light of purchasers for more than forty years. That, granting the gxo animo with which the land was taken and kept possession of, ruled in constituting ad- verse porsession, there could be no doubt in this case but that defendant's ancestors had taken possession of the lands, with intent to claim and keep the same. He cited a case from Cowan's reports, where @ person de- rived title from a person deriving the same from the French government, which title was bad, and had taken possession under said title, without knowing that the title was bad, and held possession under the same for twenty-four years. The dictum of the Court, in this case, was, that had he held forty years, the State would have been barred. Hoe also cited a case in Johnson's reports, showing what acts constituted pos- session of large tracts of land. He insisted that the question of possession was so clear, that there was no necessity, at all, of even introducing patents, as the State was barred by possession alone. He said that a strong point in favor of the title of Robert Livingston, was the fact, that he was now persecuted by the Leas- ler faction, through whose instrumentality his estates were confiscated, and that if the bounds in his patent were wrong, and his patent void, they would have used their exertions to have them vacated; that they have not done so, and that the estates confiscated by act of Parliament were soon again restored to him, with all their rights and privileges; that the colonial assembly had seen these patents granted—had seen the bounda- ries determined—had seen him improve the lands; and if the patents are void, then was the time to vacate them, when all the facts were known, and not now—as we are as likely, if not more 0, to do wrong than right. He cited many autho- rities to prove the positions assumed by him, and | in closing his able argument, of which this is but an | impeefect sketch, said, that if there was any question The debate | | i$ from the public treasury. The Union and the | of tact to go to the jury, it was simply as to whether cod had been cut or not upon the disputed premises. at this was a point immaterial to the case, as posses- sion had been fully enough proved without it. He prayed the court for a nonsuit. He spoke six anda quarter hours, and closed at 120'eleek, M. Mr. Van Buren arose, and said that the gentleman | who had just sat down opened for a nonsuit—that | the gentleman bad consumed six hours in replying to | the arguments of his associate counsel, and that he did | not know that the defence would be satisfied with the time already consumed by them, but would also want to reply to him. He said that the defence had said, when the case was opened to the jury, Marine Disaster. Wew Onteans, April 17, 1850, The brig Trogan, Capt. Coutts, which arrived from Philadelphia thie day, experienced a succession of geles, She sprung aleak on the 29th ult., and soon had tix feet of water in the hold; the pumps were choked, and the men had to bule the water eut during the re- mainder of the passage, with buckets. On the llth inst., two seamen named James Randalland Wm. Rod- gers, went aloft, and whilst in the act of descending. the topmast together with the rigging of the vessel was struck by @ whirlwind, which carried away both top- masts clore to the eap, together with the yards, sails, and everything attached. The captain, knowing that two men were aloft when the vessel was struck, ran to the leeward and saw one man in the sea. He picked up rope and hove it to him, and by the exertions of the mate and crew, succeeded in getting him aboard. In the meantime, the captain ran forward and saw Rodgers in the sea, lying on his breast. He imme- diately jumped overboard, and made a rope fast to Rodgers, who was almost lifeless at the time, his head and back being rely cut in various places, and got him aboard. Rodgers has been sent to the hospi- tal, and is in @ very low state ; Randall is improving fast. The brig makes but little water since she lost the spars. Municipal Election in New Orleans.

Now, when | we attack the patent, they claim that it comes in| collaterally, and that they are taken by surprise. They | did not set it up in thelr pleadings, for we might have | plead fraud to it, and saved this objection, but | we now claim, and say, that whenever a patent is introduced, you have the fight to attack it, for want of authority in the person granting, defect of form, or anything else, They claim | to derive their title fromthe people, and the people | are bringing suit, and they deny this title Mr. Southerland replied, staking his reputation | that it would ultimately be decided that the State had no right to bring scire facias to repeal patente is- | sued by the crown prior to 1775, and cited au- thorities in support; then argued at length against the poritions of Mr, Van Buren, finishing with a declamation about keeping up popular excitement, Mr. Van Buren replied to bis main point.

Mr. Ven Buren then went on, in an able manner, to | show that there was fraud on the part of Robert Li- | vingston. in obtaining his patents, The eum and sub- stance of his arguments on that part of the case was, that there had been two patents of land to R.
