Newspapers and Parties—Their Philosophy, We publish, in our columns to-day, a tolerably well reasoned out article on the philosophy of news- parers and parties—especially those confined to th latitude and longitude of this metropolis. The ar- ticle referred to has strayed into a morning cotem- porary that does not often evince any degree of | fiberality in its political opinions, or rationality in | anything beyond the limits of Rochester knockings | and visionary isms. The occasion of that article, and the philosophical views which it contains, were the demise of the party journal called the New York Globe, which was devoted, during its brief existene to the advocacy of some of the technical doctrines of Tammany Hall, and whose life was prolonged by eeveral thousand dollars, and a large quantity of | essence of dunce-head, extracted from the region of | New Jersey. For some years past, the democracy ef Tammany Hall have establi gan, and made all reasonabl black mail on office-hold Their efforts, however, 8 prodigious deal of lamentati in over every frosh organic fun Now, all this folly among party politic they whigs or democrats—arises from r utter ignorance of the chan blic opinion and in- teliectual action, which have been produ in this | metropolis within the last twenty-five or thirty | years. We are probably the oldest editor ¢ nected with the daily press in this city, now livin. Our recollections extend back for thirty years—s period beyond that of any other editor connected with daily journalism in New York. We have seen | of the commencement of the changes in society and in the newspaper press—in polities and in philosophy—and have watched their gress with a great deal of interest and much at- tention. Party journals, mere party journals, hack party journals, dirty party journals—such par jearnals as exist in Albany, in Washington, and | some other provincial cities—have been declining in New York for a great many years p in conse- quence of the intellectual independence of its at- moephere; they can’t exist at all, at the present time.

Our cotemporary will see, therefore, that party journalism docs not exist in this city at all, Even he himself denies the trammels of the party under whose ausp he started. The press is as inde- pendent in this city, of party and politicians, as the winds of heaven are. We owe allegiance to nothing | but the constitution, the laws, and the voice of the community. These three burning and shining | lights form the guides of the independent press; | and so long as they continue to walk insuch light, | | they will always lard in the proper quarter, and | | Justify the principles on which they have been regu- \ | lated.

Genera | Scott has been put forward by nearly the whole whig press of the free soil or non-slaveholding | States, the most prominent of which, the Albany | Journal, Boston Atlas, and Philadelphia North | American, are his chief advocates. The main is- | sues upon Which his name has been brought before the country are not yet distinctly avowed. The first movement which elicited the attention of the country was that made at the Clayton dinner, at | Wilmington, in Delaware, which was at once taken up by the Philadelphia North American, a journal which has always advocated the anti-slavery cause. From that time up tothe present, General Seott | has been declared the only whig who can consoli- date the whig party throughout the country. In Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, as well as in the New England States and New York, all the free soil whig journals have followed the order of | the leading journals of that faction ; and in look- upon but one side of the question, it would be y to believe that he can be triumphantly nomi. Movements ror THe Next Presipency.—We have carefully watebed, for some time past, the various movements for the next Presidency, as we | } But let us look at the other side, and the matter assumes an entirely different aspect. What are portion of the whig party at the North and East, and how docs he stand at the South? Upon national issues, the course of Mr. Fillmore is epproved by a strong party at the North and Last, and the Boston Advertiser, the Boston Courver, | Albony State Register, and Buffalo Commercial, ro- pudiate the attempt to place in power a man whose | views upon the questions affecting the interests of the whole country are not known to the people, except through the advoeacy of his claims by those journals which are known to be sectional and fana- tieal in their views. It is well known, too, that in 1841 General Scott was identified with the native American party, and his letters of that date are brought up in judgment against him, and will have its influence with the | great mass of foreign bern citizens at the West. In the South no allusion whatever is made to Gen- eral Scott in conneetion with the Presidency. In Virginia, his native State, where a conservative | spirit prevails, there is not a whig journal which has | yet advanced his claims for the responsible position | to which he aspires, all owing to the fact that he is | identified with the Seward abolition party of the North.

It is pre- Were any great to sweep over the metropolis again, we should have the same delusive scenes acted over agaia, aud a great variety of legal questions springiag out of the smoke and ashes of the conflagration. The proposition, therefore, for a complete over- throw of the system of insurance, and for estab- lishing a system of State insurance, is just and rea- sonable. Inthe State there is probably of insura- ble property, about five hundred millions of dollars, and the premium whieh the government would re- ceive on this amount, would be equal probably, to the losses of the insured, besides leaving @ handsome balance towards defraying the expenses of the State. It isnot necessary to intimate at present what should be the rate of insurance, but we may suggest that with proper statisties to establish a system upon, a very admirable method might be adopted, which would be a henefit to individuals and to the State. The subject is one of very great in- terest, and when it is remembered that seventeen millisns of dollars in property was destroyed in this city, by fire, in December, 1835, and over six mil- liens of dollars in 1845, by the great fire of that year, the necessity of some great reform in the sys tem of insurance is apparent. We shall notice this subject very fully hereafter. American Travetiers in Evrore.—It is sel- dom that an American correspondent from Europe, describes scenes and events in the old world from American points of view; but in the “ Letters from Three Continents,” by Mr. Matthew Ward, of Louisville, (Ky.,) we find a correct first step taken in this department of travels. Mr. Ward, we be- lieve, was educated at Harvard College, and has come from that popular seat of learning, improved, and not made effeminate in character, by the asso- ciations of the place. He has retained his own | original spirit of thinking and expression, and has none of that mock sentimentality and those philo- sophical spasms whieh belong to the Carlyle and Emerson transcendental cliques. We are preparing to give some extracts from his work, to show how well Mr. Ward has escaped the besetting sin of American tourists, who usually fall | into foreign modes and habits of thought, either | from a want of moral courage, or from some sup- | posed elevation that they derive from bending to European ideas of government and society. He writes from his heart—as one would imagine an American citizen ought to write—with a fresh memory of the advantages which his own country supplies for all of her population, native or foreign. In viewing the operations of European govern- ments, and the condition cf mankind, particularly inthe East, he analyzes the distinctions between | the liberal institutions of the United States and the severer and closer governments of the old world. One cause, probably, of the success of Mr. ; Ward, is his knowledge of his own country, upon | which is based his knowledge of foreign lands, thus enabling him to compare the various points of Europe with those of the United States. He writes strongly at times, when anything he dislikes nerves his pen, but always in plain, practical prose, which one can readily understand. He does not run from his thought into lexicons—losing the former, in order to show his familiarity with the latter— but moves right on, clearly, emphatically, and, of course, satistactorily. Indeed, he is quite a model for foreign correspondents, and we quite sure, when we have presented some specimens of his | quality, that his work will be sought by a large number of intelligent readers. x Treat—Sim Henry L. | —As Sir | Avyornen INTELLECTU Bunwer aT THE Sr. Georar’s Frstivan. on Wednesday evening, at the festival of the St. George's Society, in this city, we suspect that there is some mistake in the recent report that he has | gone into the Southern States on a tour of obser- vation. It is very fortunate for the benevolent in- stitution that it has secured the British Minister, for we may expect one of his best speeches on the | occasion. Sir Henry has peculiarly admirable talents for public speaking. Indeed, he Is the best | English orator we have ever had in this country. | ‘When Lord Morpeth made a «peech here, some | years ago, he created a great sensation by his ora- torical powers; and several other English states men have distinguished themselves here, also, for | their cloquence; but Sir Henry, in tact, diploma-_ ey, intelligence, and genuine persuasive eloquence, surpasses any Englishman we have yet heard here. In the solid and sincere parts of his discourses he is always listened to with attention, and even in his fanfaronade, or what Southern politicians call * Buncombe,” which is of the finest quality, he sur- passes every one of his countrymen. We hope he will give us plenty of it at the St. George's din- | ner, for it is always highly interesting, from ite in- genuity and apparent sincerity. The festival itself will be rendered more than usually important, from the fact that Sir Henry | will make a speech, and we have no doubt that it will be largely attended, beeause the curiosity to hear so great an orator will be very general among all our literary cireles. It is not as an orator alone He ix one of the | statesmen of his country.

They remained so long counting the votes, that most of the outsiders and of the members of the sceiety, too, went away before the decision was an- nounced. It was shrewdly suspected that the delay was caused by fear of a fracas. The scratching was chiefly in the cuse of Mr. Senn, candidate for the office of wiskinkie.

It was discovered by the barnburners, that though on their ticket, he was canvassing against it. and for the other side.” They accordingly “scratched”? him, and voted for Cornell, who was the wiskinkie last year.

Out of 210 votes polled in all, he received 208, one having scratched him, and the other being thrown out. The tickets were nearly the same as last year, The barn- burner ticket had a majorlty of bunkers on it; and Flijan F. Purdy. who headed it, claims to be a hunker, though an amalgamation hunker. ‘The supporters of the; ont-and-out anti-hunker ticket isued a burlesque ticket containing the same names as those on the ticket of their opponents, but having the following heading:—* Wilmot Provisoticket—Van Buren and opposition to the Fugitive Slave law.” Then there was a Buffalo in the act of tossing the temple of Liberty into the air, while the goddess of Liberty ran away, and her cap flying in the air tehind her, while Just ice was effecting her ercape in the opposite direction, Uder- neath the picture were the words “Baffalo platform 1848 and forever.” At half-past 12 o'clock the tellers announced the result to be in favor of the Buffalo Plat form or coalition ticket, with the exception of William Senn, who was defeated, and Joseph Cornell, on the hunker ticket. elected in his stead, The following was the successful ticket: — Eijjoh F.

Erie Railroad stock takes the lead among the fancies 80 fur as extent of operations is concerned, A very largo portion of the transactions are on time, Erie securities of all kinds, are advancing with the market value of the stock. Harlem Railroad is steadily improving. It closed firm at our quotations, Norwich and Worvester is ad- vancing full as rapidly as we anticipated. It is a cheap stock at present prices, and will, no dobut, show a steady increase in the rate of dividend, A very small addition tothe monthly receipts this year, compared with last, will give a dividend of five per cent on the par value, Reading Railroad is probably the weakest and most doubt- ful railroad stock on the list, It moves up and down like the mercury ina thermometer, and holders know not what a day or an hour may bring forth.
