It is in vain for the administration at Washington to cry out “ stop thief "—* stop thief” —toask the anti-slavery whig newspapers of the North not to indulge in a premature agitation of the Presidential question, or to beg that each faction It is ture nomination”—it was followed up in Delaware, months ago—and is now at the very heart of Mr, Webster's ancient friend, the Boston Atlas. The bitterness of the anti-slavery whigs, such as Seward and bis organs represent, will vent itself towards Mr. Fillmore aud administration in an intense discussion and agitation of the Presidential ques- tion, and in every possible shape, to auney and per- plex the administration. Already General Scott has been brought into the field, in order to upset Mr. Fillmore’s or Mr. Webster's hopes in the ap- proaching contest. ‘The Presidential question, therefere, may be con- sidered as fairly open, and Mr. Webster's speech at Annapolis is the first assurance we had of the fact. All that had preceded that event, till then was shapeless and unreliable. Now we have the political design in open view. The scaffolding has been knocked away; and it is certain that every additional speech by Mr. Webster, and every re- moval from office, and every position taken by the administration, will be used by the anti-slavery whigs as so much capital wherewith to carry on their carrent campaign. The contest will be car- ried on by the whig party, in division, for a time. The Seward and Weed cabinet at Albany, which is a permanent cabinet, will be arrayed in hostility against the transition administration at Washing- ton. The strong and sweeping measures of the former will do service, while the petty policy of the latter, in sticking pins into hostile newspaper edi- tors, or making nests for political friends, and such smnall business, will lead to an overthrew, particu- | larly if bolder action is not carried out. It is now “ neck or nothing” with the administration. They are in the crisis of their destiny. Altogether, the position of affairs is a very sin- gular one. The contest has commenced between the whigs on the two great points which distract their camp. Disoussion and action will be carried on with vigor; and it will be seen, in the struggle, constitution, is to be surrendered to the anti-slavery which, while it proposes nothing in the shape of a broad aud comprehensive policy, is calculated to raise hostile sectional animosities, which may give the country the most serious trouble ever known since the establishment of the original federation.

The very towns now conspicuons for their action in the anti-slavery system of tactice--Northampton, Wor- cester, Hatfield, Greenfield, and the like—were then agitated with the mad-capsof that day. They had | their Worcester conveation, with delegates from | fifty towns; and their next step was to bring an armed force into the Geld. The Governor issued a proclamation agaiust the front of rebellion—but it showed itself. Armed parties of from three to eleven | hundred persons appeared in the field, and Daniel Shays even took his post im the court-house at Springfield—another locality celebrated for its anti- slavery tendencies at the present hour, Subse- quently, the insurgents attempted to interfere with the judicial courts, and they were only put down by an army of four thousand brought against them. rally, for the use and information of literary mon in Europe. The applications that have been made tous extend to the progress, present position, and practical character of the whole newspaper pross of the country, from the period of its birth to the pre- sent time. ‘The subject is large and unboundod—extending over so wide a ficld, and dating back so many years, that were we to do justice toit, we would be obliged | to devote years, and write several books oa it, in order to convey the desired information. A few | years ago, an estimate was made of the number of newspapers then published in the United States, and it was stated at some three thousand. At the present time, the number would no doubt reach as high as five thousand, if not more; and the number of sheets issued in the course of a year, might be estimated at one hundred millions or more. It is Happily, there was little blood spilled in Shays’s very difficult, however, to approach accuracy on Rebellion;” but fourteen persons were sentenced to death for purticipating in the scenes of the sedition- ists, and seven hundred and ninety persons were pardoned under a commission instituted to restore the State to peaceand order. In New Hampshire— another hot-bed of anti-slavery error—the mob, at the same period took the whole General Assembly prisoners, aud held them in that condition for seve- ral hours, because, in answer to a petition, that body did not deem it advisable to pass a law for the establishment of a paper money system. In this case, eight persons were indicted for treason, and were punished, but not capitally couvicted—the power of the government having been exhibited sufficiently in their conviction. Itwas upon these and similar difficulties, between the hasty minority of that dayeand the government, that the men devoted to the general weal and pros- perity of the country, deemed it expedient to amend the constitution. It was perceived that the power of the federal government was inefficient. An | energetic system of national government was pro- posed; and, in 1787, the country held the great | Philadelphia convention, from which sprang the first President, Washington, and that system of , government which has since contributed to the ele- | vationand prosperity of the United States. Thus, it may be said, and with historical truth, that the very government under which we exist less spirits of the land, who, like those of Boston in trines of expediency, right and government for guidance, in opposition to the long established | principles and the constitutional regulations whieh have sprung from the will of the majority, by whom we, as a people, have consented to be govern- ed. The question is, therefore, whether or not we are to maintain the fundamental ideas of the fede- ral compact—whether or not we are to submit to | the power of our own making—whether or not we | are to sustain that power, and to show that we re- spect the country and its institutions more than the rhupsodies of fanatics and political mountebanks ? On the conviction or the acquittal of those arraiga- ed at Boston will the question be decided. Axoruer Dereat or THe Sroat Pigzon Gaxa— A Ponce Gazerre Prorece Barrirp.—Every day brings discomfiture to the stool pigeon gang of New York. We see them flying to “rural dis- tricts ” as fugitives from justice, and beaten ia the est courts of judicature in the State. By the decisions of the Court of Appeals, on Thursday last, we perceive that the case of Henry Sheldon, appel- lant, against Charles H. Carpenter, appelled, was reversed, and a new trial granted. This Carpenter is the person for whom George Wilkes entered the lists against several highly respectable individuals— for whom he libelled Ambrose L. Jordan, and for the intemperate defence of whose bad cause Wilkes | is now vicariously suffering banishiwent from this State. The action of Carpenter against Mr. don was for slander, and was commenced seve years since in the Court of Common Vleas, to reco- Verdamages for words spoken reflecting unfavora- bly upon the character or Carpenter asa man of integrity. Previous to that trial, Carpenter had comanenced an action in the Circuit Court against Ifenry Sheldon and others, fer alleged malicious prosecution and fulve imprisonment, and in which he recovered a verdict for a considerable amount. The principal defence to the suit—the verdict in which is now reversed—was that the alleged slanderous wonds, if spoken at all, were spoken im reference to, and were part of the prosecution fur which damages had already been recovered in the other action. The cause was tried in the Common Pleat, aud a verdict obtained for upwards of $9,000 damages. This verdict seemed surprising at the time, and in- dicated some extraordinary Police Gazette induences operating outside the Court of Common Pleas. On subsequent argument, the sume cout made an order that the verdict should be set aeide, and the defendant have a vew trial, unless Carpenter would | reduce the amount of the verdict recovered to $3,000, and take judgment for that sum within a lunited period. Carpenter then concluded to fure- go his verdict of 39,000 and take $3,000, rather than wbide the result of a new trial. Mr. Sheld ou, howe ever, being advised that the judgment weuld pro- bably be set aside, exercised his legal right, aud again appealed the cause. At the lost term ofthe Court.of Appeals, the cause was fully argued, and on Thursday last the court desided that the jadg- ment should be reversed, and a new trial grauted. Carpenter has still the legal right to bring on bis cave before another jury ; but it is doubtful if his | suretics sudassignees of these judgments will run the risk of sesponsibility for such a vast amount of vst. Thus, then, we see justice triumphant, though tardy, | aud the whole stool pigeon gang routed, confused, | driven to a corner, and maddened to de-pair. Tre Buack-Man.

Stones Robinson the whitewaehi received from the committee. They lave come out with very little cuedit to themselves, or to the Senate, of «hich they are such distinguished mem- bers. | A portion of the mas important part ef the | evidence given by Mr. Supdam, and which referred to these gentlemen partiowlarly, and laced them in no enviable light before the eommunity, was — | stricken out of the conamittee’s repost. Why was this done? In addition to thie, a number of wit- | nesses who could have testified to the payment of hundred dollars, were never sammened by tHe com- | wnittee of investigation at all, although t.\eg were anxious and willing to testify. Who got the money? In fact, the whole inve *vigg- tion, the examination of witnestes, and the debt’ that took place in the Senate, only furnish evi« dence implicating the Senate itself in Mr. Bw reputation. One great reeult follows: the resolution offered by Mr. Brandreth—which may be considered a epe- cies of Brandreth’s pill—has been parsed by the Senate, and the whole matter is at an end, as far as that body ie concerned. Thier, we conceive, is the mort signal.evidence of the power of the famous vegetable pille whieh has yet been exhibited in the career of Dr. Brandreth asa medical man and inventor of the famous vegetable pill among yaient medicines.

The last census ought to include statistics of the newspaper press of the country, but we doubt if any inquiry of that nature was fully entered into. Tf not, we hope it will not be neglected in 1360, whenthe next general census will be taken. It would be well, tog,-for the several States to direct their agents to collect all information possible con- cerning the newspaper press within their respective borders, when taking the census of each. The newspaper journalism of the county eom- prises daily, weekly, and semi-weekly papers, and is separate from the religious papers, magazines, and reviews. The newspaper press proper, is de- voted principally to the discussion of public affairs— to the promulgation of news of all kinds; but it is principally devoted to the discussion of political or party affairs, and public or party mon, The nuinber of these journals varies throughout the coun- try, and always more or less in particular districts | and particular States. At the present time it ap- pears to be low water with the newspapers, many having recently died, and some being shrinking in their dimensions. In this part of the country, the Globe—the organ of the hunker democracy—lied very lately of starvation, and the Sun, with no par- ticular characteristic, has taken in a reef or two of its size, cutting four columns at once. The same phenomena are visible in other parts of the When it is low water with the newspa- | pers, there is, as a general rule, very little political February last, set up and establish their own doe- | excitement of any kind, as it is an interval between the settlement of some important questions of a general character, and the disoussion of new ones, of equal magnitude. During the agitation of the slavery question, within the last two years, the excitment which it occasioned in both the North and the South, created a necessity for the establish- ment of new jonrnals in various parts of the cou try. nee that important question was settled, at least temporgrily, the excitement attendint upon it subsided and many newspapers went out of existence at the same time. Nor will there be any increase until some new and important question, of a poli cal and general nature, such as the next Preside wey begins to warm and excite the public mind, aad is discussed. When that question arises in earnest, the politicians of all parties will collect money, call into existence new journals, and give a fresh start to the newspaper press generally. Every Presidential election culls into being from two to three hundred newspapers throughout the country, and it is just as likely that when that question shall have been determined, two or three hundred will die. With respect to the character or morale of the newspaper press of the United States, we can testify that it has improved very much within our expe- tieoee. We have been a weiter, a participator, a worker, and a proprietor, in the newspaper press, ora long series of years, and what we say on the subject we say from personal knowledge. The general chareeter of the press has very much im- proved within the last thirty years—the space of time within our recollection. About a quarter of a century ago, the leading journals in this eity—jour. nals that possessed a great deal of power and indu- ence over the public min than a column and a half of intelligence, of all des- criptions. The press inthe rural districts, weekly and zemi- ui-weekly. was no better than that publishod | in the The progress which has beon made within that time, in this and in other respeets, is as reat ws it is gratifying. It is exhibited in the newspapers throughout the whole country; and be- fore inuny years are over, the » in all clemeuts of usefulness, promises to be much greater than it n now is. are a few general remarks concerning the past and present condition and character of the newspaper press of the United States.

The speculative excitement in the stock market is i creasing with wonderful rapidity, Buyers have been quite plenty dusing the past few days, and purchases have been made toa great extent. The bears have been almost panic struck, and have been making themselves long us fast as possible. They evidently feel convinced that the time for another inflation in fancy stocks bas arrived, and find it useless to contend against the cur- rent It would be wise for those who have, for some- time part, been operating for a fall, to withdraw from the market, and let the bulls have their own way, for & time, at least, It is uscloss to attempt to stay the move- ment, and fortunes are frequently lost in abortive efforts to arrest an expansion in prices There is @ time for everything, and everything in its time, Paney stocks | will advance and recede like the tide; and those who | suffer themselves to be borne on with the eurrent, which- | ever way it sets, are gencrally most successful in their operations, It is our impression that we are now about entering upon a period of speculation in funcy stocks equak perhaps to any experienced within the past two years. ALL the elements are in a sound and healthy state. Money is duily becoming more abundant, confidence is rapidly inereaing, and we have no doubt but that auother week will show u very great improvement in prices fer all the leading fancy stocks. There is a better fueling among operators, and the disposition to buy is extending itself among the heaviest outside speculators, At the first board, to-day, Erie Convertible bends ad- vanced 3 per cent; Erie bonds, new, }y; Income, 145 Farmers’ Loan, 3s; Morris Canal, 4¢; New Haven Rail- road. 14; Portsmouth Dry Dock, 34; Canton Company, 2%; Mohawk, 1, from the opening; Edgeworth Company, 44; Reading Railroad. 3 ; Erie Railroad, °;; Harlem, orwich and Worcester, 44.

In other markets there had been no variation of consequence, either as re- gurds prices or movements. Financially, the news con- tinues favorable. The Bank of England had not raised the rate of interest. and money was plenty enough at low prices, for any and all parpores. This is about all the late advices amounts to. Operators in the cottoa market are & little anxious to see what the next bring. They have been so far out in their calculations this time, that it has ereateed considerable curiosity tor know what will be the complexion of later accounts. The next steamer will be due at this port on Friday next. According to the cireular of the Secretary of the Trea~ sury, holders of Texan indebteduess must look to Texas for the adjustment and payment of their elains, and not to the government of the United States. This decision is- by no means satisfactory to holders of Texas bonds, or treasury notes, as it has been until very lately the im pression that the United States would pay one hundred m the dollar, Texas has publicly announced that ditors will be paid according to the el. a of her indebtedness by the State auditors, which gives on treasury notes twenty-five cents on the dollar, On eight per cent bonds, twenty cents on the dollar, Oo tom per cent bonds, thirty cents on the dollar, The steamship Franklin, for Havre, will take oot about 00,000 in specie, of which one-half will be «lve half gold. ‘ling exchange has been in mand to-day, and the rates have slightly imp: now quote 104 a 10); per cent premium A proposition is befure the Legislature of setts, to loan the credit of the State for two a dollars to the Troy and Greenfield Railroad Vompany. Estimates from seven eminent engineers in relation to the opening of a tunnel under the Moosic mo this road, are very wide upart, The expense varies from $1,800,000 to $3,000,000; and the time for com, varies from fur to fifteen years.
