The European News by the Baltic, ‘The arrival of the Baltic at Provincetown, the extreme coast port of Massachusetts, where she had put in consequence of her want of coal, has brought a summary, by telegraph from Boston, of Europeen intelligence, with one weeks’ later dates. All the facts appertaining to the Baltic wil, be found under our telegraphie head, with the im- portant points of the’ news. The mails will be for- warded from Boston, and will be received here this evening. The news is not of a very important character. Cotton has advanced, and is in steady demand, while trade indicates that there is an assurance of peace, at least, for the present. The German dif- ficulsies do not appear to have presented any new features. In Turkey, it is said, some further dis- turbences have occurred in the provinces of that empire, and a slight insurrection has taken place in Palermo. On the arrival of our files of foreiga journals, the particulars connected with these events may be found more clearly elucidated by the facts which distinguish them. Interesting Summary of Intolligence. According to our eccounts from Washington, there was quite a breeze in the Senate yesterday, in consequence of the reception of a message from the President, enclosing the correspondence be- tween the State Department of our government, and the Austrian Charge des Affaires, in relation to the appointment of an agent of our goverament to Hungary, during the struggle of that power with Austra and Russia. It is a very funny correspondence throughout, and one which we have no doubt will excite a greatdeal ef levghter, if not ridicule, throughout the United States. In fact, we laugh while we read it. It has been truly said,oft and again, that whom God means to destroy, he first makes mad. The Austrian Charge, in his correspondence with the State De- partment, very gravely says that the appointment of an agent of this government to the de facto government of Hungary, during the struggle of that country with Austria, cannot be overlooked by the Austrian government—that he solemnly pro- tests against it as contrary to the comity of nations, and as a violation of the American doctrine of non intervention —that he considers the American agent was nothing but a spy—that the Austrian go- vernment will not tolerate such conduct, and, to preserve her honor, will call into opera- tion her historical renown for the preser- vation of her dignity. He complains of the tria, if it had @ press like that of America. If it had, its people would mot long be as they are— serfe—villeins—slaves, at te bid and mod of their tyrants. Let Austria fume aod fret as much as she pleases. We delight in it) and if the Austrian Minister does not like our interference in the affairs of Hungery, he may go home as soon as he pleases. As for us’and our house, we want to have nothing to do with them, diplomatically or otherwise. ‘ But the quarry is not worth the candle. ‘We -perceive that the House of Representatives have passed a resolution authorising the sale and transfer of warrants under the Bounty Land bill passed at the last session, prior to the location of the same, or the issue of the patents. This is ex- actly what has been wanted, and we hope the Senate will accede to it. ‘We regret to say that the building of our cotem- perary, the Ledger, in Philadelphia, was destroyed by fire yesterday. We hope, however, that the machinery has been saved, so that the paper can be issued as usual. We regret it the more that the building was new, and constructed expressly for newspaper purposes. Were our unfortunate co. temporary in New York, we would gladly offer the use of our engine and machinery, which are of the same description as theirs, so that their business would not experience any interruption. Interesting from W. Pro posed Union Ticket of Clay and Cass. According to all advices from Washington, party lines, party land marks, and party platforms, are in a condition of utter and irretrievable confusion in ‘hat reepectable village. 1t has been usual, at least @ year in advance of the Presidential election, for the politicians at Washington to shape out the plan, to define the measures, and to designate the candi- dates for the campaign. But in this instance, the caucuses, the little cliques of wire workers, the managing men of party machinery, continue to stand aghast, amazed, stupified and perplexed at the terrible destruction of the old rickety platforms of Baltimore and Philadelphia. The Missouri compromise of 1820, broke up the old party arrangements of that day, and led toa general scrub race, the effect of which was to cast the election of President upon the House of Repre- sentatives. The adjustment of 1850, far more com- prehensive and extensive, determining, as it does, a number of great issues, each of equal moment with, or greater magnitude than the Mi com- promise, has effected a far more decisive destruction of old party organizations. The nationality of both ‘he old parties is gone, destroyed, defunct. There is no longer a national democraticiparty—there does not exist, at this time, a national whig party. They are both deceased. A large portion, if not a majority of the whig party of the North, are nulhfiers or sympathizers with their detestable doctrines—a very large proportion of the de- Nashville convention, of Mississippi or South Caroiina echool. in the North the nullifiers hold the balance of power—ia the extreme South the have it in their hands. In either section, ‘iples and democratic principles are de- funct absurdities. They are extinct—they are no Jonger aveilable. In the South it ig union or dis- union—in the North it is nullification or obedience to the laws. ‘With euch a state of things existing, no wonder the presidential aspirants and the presidential cliques at Washington are puzzled and perplexed. Upon the old Baltimore platform, what shame has General Cass, or any other democratic candidate? Upon the exploded Philadelphia platform, what prospect is there for Mr. Clay, Mr. Webster, Gener- eral Seott,or any other whig! None in the world. ‘The measures and abstractions of the Baltimore and Philadelphia conventions are “ob- solete ideas’’—they have served their puryows, wud are cancelled. The remains of the whig party and of the democratic party are without a platform, and without nationality. To secure a national platform, and a national candidate, they must each have a national convention. And here we come to a dead halt. There is a formidable obstacle to a national convention in the resolutions of the Nashville convention, recommending the South to refuse to participate in either of the old party con- ventions; and to run a candidate or candi- dates of their own. The strong re-agitation in behalf of the Union in the extreme South, does term “‘iron rule” being applied to Austria; he attri- butes the manner in whieh the illustrious Kossuth was spoken of here, to the “mendacity” of the American press; he alludes to the possibility of every nation being disturbed by internal commo- tions; compliments us, by saying that a civil war ie not impossible in the United States; and with a grand flourish of trumpets, he inquires what would the American government thiok if Austria had sent a private sgentto the United States, of the same character as the agent whom we sent to Austria? We have not yet seen the reply to this extraordi- mary letter of the Austrian Minister, but we have no doubt that it was responded to in a manner be- coming the dignity of this great republic. For our own part, we are seriously under the impression that the Austrian Charge to the United States is verdant—that he and his ernment are super- lativély verdant in reg to this country— or he would never have indicted such a ridi- eulous and absurd letter as this. The Austrian Cherge has resided in this country for a long period, and has had ample opportunity of informing himeelf of the position, power, resources, and strength of this republic. Now, if he were an ob- serving man—if he were a commonly intelligent ma&n—every one knows that he would have written a different letter to that which he did write. If he is an intelligent man, he wrote that letter for the pur- pose of creating a wrong impreesion of this couatry and government, in the mind of the Emperor of Austria. But he is an intelligent man, and, there, fore, the American public witl draw their own in- ferences from his letter. Lat us see what this singular letter amounts to. ‘The Austrian Minister says that our sending a private agent to Hungary cannet be overlooked by the Austrian government. This means, we sup- peee, that his government will suspend diplomatic intercourse with the United States, in consequence of that act, or do something worse. Now, we can tel] the Austrian Minister,and the Emperor, that he ther as soon as they please. It is against the hes of nine-tenths of the American people that our gevernment holds any intercourse at all with Austria—with a government that in « ge of the world authorizes and directs the scourging of females before its raffiaaly army—that sanctions the stripping and scourgiag of women, by a cold-blooded and brutal army of beer-drinking and stupid serfs, because they were faithful to their country, and aided, by precept and example, to free that country of tyrant rule. If a vote were taken to-morrow, in the United States, it would be a unanimeus one to have nothing to do with a country that approves of such monstrous, despi- cable, and damnable proceedings. “It can’t be overlooked by the Austrian government,” forsooth' ‘Then let the Austrian government take its remedy: Auttria—a government that hae made itself the most despicable and contemptible of ali in Europe not indicate a party junction with either whigs or democrats in the North. «The whig and democra- tic parties in the South are dissolved. The Union and disunion parties have superceded them and absorbed them. The only national ticket that could count upon carrying the North and the South, would be a Union ticket, upon the Union platform of the late adjustment, and the letter and the law of the compromises of the constitution, in good faith, and to the full intent of the compact, without any regard whatever to whig or democra- tie antiquities. An idea has recommended itself to some of the old politicians, whig and democratic—the old hun- kere or coneervatives, who are casting about them for some plank upon which to swim ashore. The friends of Clay and the friends of Cass entertain the same sentiments of the late adjustment and the Union. The sentiments of the majority of the peo. ple North and South are with them, both whigs and democrats. But if one rans as a whig and the other as a democrat, or if any other whig against Cass, or any other democrat runs upon the Union, the ultras, North or South, may defeat them beth with the balance of power. The only chance, then, is for the friends of Clay and Cass to unite their strength upon @ union ticket, #0 as to combine the forces of the Union party. This is tantamount to a complete extinction of the last vestiges of the whig and democratic parties ; but the crisis suggests it, and we understand that some of the leading conservatives of both parties, at Washington, acting upon the suggestions of Castle Garden, have been turning the matter over, with the view of putting the following ticket into the field for 1852, to wit :-— UNION TICKET. Yor President—Heway Cray, of Kentuck: For View President Lewis Gass, of Michigan. A formidable ticket, and probably the only plan upon which any of the old statesmen of the coun- try could count upon success. Such a combina- tion, however, involves the sacrifice of all the tra- ditions, sympathies, and antipathies of thirty years standing. {t involves the amalgation of the most opposite political elements ; but the work is easy, when the old party liaes are broken down, and all parties are in a state of fusion and transition. Nor do we perceive any other effective plan for the practical working of the late Union meetings all over the country. What are mere declarations without action; and what are the Union men to accomplish unless they are united. At all events, this incipient movement at Wash- ington is worthy of atiention, and is the only basis upon which we can count upon a certein result, a sure thing, in 1862, A Union ticket is the only platform for an election by the people. Tf the pro- ject explodes, a scrub race is the only alternative. Winter Passat s Acaose THe Attanric —The severe weather, and etrong north and northwest winds that have prevailed for some time past, have —to speak in this way to the United States— @ government whom the gallant Hungarians would have subverted,and annihilated,and reduced to powder, but for the intervention of Russia—is positively insulting. What does the United States eare— what did itever care, for Austriat-or, rather, that province of Russia known by that name? “She will call into operation her historical re- nown!”"—Well let her do it.{She does not like the term “iron rule.” Of course she does not, be- cause there is too mueh reason for applying the term. She says that the rebel Kossuth having been so much, is altogether owing to the mendacity of the American presse! Well gmoald it be for unfortunate, God-forsaken Aus- had the eflect of lengthening the passages of vessels from Europe tea very great extent. Steamshipa, as well as those vessels entirely depenaent on a favorable wind for reaching theit various destina- tions, have also been greatly delayed. The few ailing veseels that have arrived lately from Eu- rope, have all had long passages, ranging from fifty to seventy days from Liverpool. As must be | expected, there are a great many European packets due. “The packet ship “ Splendid” arrived yester- day from Havre, after a boisterous passage of over sixty daye, and many of those now due will be lueky of they make their voyeges within that time. ‘We believe chat there are about fifteen packets due from Liverpeo!. mocratic party of the South are ultras, of the | that con‘ract proposes, in direct violation of their solemnly expressed wishes. We have not heard that Mr. Woodhull intends to step in between the Common Council and the peog@e, and say that, so far as his action goes, this community shall be placed at the mercy of a soulless corporation, and made to extend the already overgrown wealth of that institution. We are afraid, however, that Mr. ‘Woodhull is abou: to escape from the responsibility —to run away from it, and to allow the contraet to become a law, by not noticing it at all—by letting ten days expire, at the end of which time it will be 8 law, if he does not interpose the veto. We sincerely hope that Mr. Woodhull has not determined upon such a pusillanimous course of action. It has been our duty to disagree with] Mr. ‘Woodhull on several occasions; but we never en« tertained the idea for a moment, that he would sanction a piece of corruption, so infamous on its face, as this contract undoubtedly is. {t is well known to him that to grant a new contract to the New York Gas Company, in the manner proposed, would be to go in opposition to the wishes of a vast majority of the people of this city—in defiance of their solemnly expreased will, in the shape of a pe- tition in due form presented te the Common Coun- cil, many months ago. We shall see, however, what course he will adopt. One thing iscertain— that if he consults his own popularity, and wishes to be gratefully remembered by his constituents as an honest and upright man, he will not allow this vile and infamous contract to become a law, if he can prevent it. He has but a few days more to serve. Let him go out of office honorably, and without incurring the stigma which his approbation of this contract would entail upon him. Tue Fusrrive Stave*Case.—The proceedings in the case of Henry Long, the alleged fugitive slave, which have been occupying a large share of public attention, and a very considerable portion of the time of many of our lew courts for the last week, ere yet unfinished ; they have, however, taken an extraordinary turn, and one which will be calculated to adjust the only apparent point at issue. Is Henry Long a fugitive slave, or is he a freeman? The counsel for the defence have ‘ssued half a dozen writs of habeas corpus, disputing the legality of the tribunal before which the accused was being examined. None of these writs have been as yet decided. and two remain adjourned over till the 6th of Janu- ary. Yesterday, the claimant applied for, and ob- tained, a warrant from the U. 8. Cireuit Court, for the body of the alleged fugitive, and he was accord- ingly brought before that tribunal, where the case will be preceeded with this day, and the result may probably lead to the grave and important ques- tion, whether State Courts, or the Umied States Courts, are paramount in their authority as to the disposition of a case which comes peculiarly hefore the United States authorities. A report of the pro- ceeding will be seen in another part of our paper. Highly Interesting from Central America.
