The can- dilate most popular with the people will be selected by that body, without reference to the present po- sition of things. Much will depend upon the events of the next few months. At Albany, two interesting subjects, among a nuinber of lesser ones, came up yesterday. The affuirs connected with the financial condition of Union College are of a most remarkab’e kind, aud we shall be prepared for some etrange de- velopements as to the moral and financial pht- Josophy Jong in vogue in that institution. The ojber subject is one which merits tho serious attention of every honest man in the State. It has reference to Webster’s Dictionary — which some bookseller wishes to force upon the schools of the State, to the amount of fifteen thousand co- yies—or at an oxpenee of seventy-five thousand doliars to the people. For what? To in- troduce a work which is not a standard one, | and does not merit to be—which spells words con- | trary to the manifest spirit of their etymology: ‘Theatre is spelled theater—a mere asinine caprice, the final syllable being derived properly from :hat of the Latin tneatrum. As well might acre be spell- ed acer—the Latin for sharp. Such is the work» | composed of such absurdities, which our legislative | eogno-centi wish to have adopted for the benefit of vome bookseller or copy-right holder. Professor | Goodrich, of New Haven, has tried to improve the | work; but he was not philologist enough to make it acomplete or satisfactory one. The whole scheme isa barefaced attempt at imposition. Booksellers already have sway enough in our schools, with their new and improved editions of books, without com- ing ixto the Legislatuse to rob the public by whole- sale. We trust that the atrocious project of sad- dling stch a work upon the State will fail. Allow ing that the work were a recognized standard, its introduction ought te be opposed, for it is a job—a downright job, and nothing else. The news from Hayti contradicts the report of a fecent conflict; but we have not yet r ved an ex- | planation of this very general rumor. Among our ether telegraphic intelligence will be found some later advices, chiefly of commercial interest, from Buenos Ayres. Purtty of the Pablic Press—and Pablic votice:” ~ ¥ ‘The double position df “editor and office Holder, publicly combined in one and the same person, has always been held by both parties to be doubtial and disreputable—leading to corruption of the prees—profligacy of principle, and ending in injury to all concerned. These have been the morals aud doctrines of both parties for a quarter of a century. Among the most exceptionsble of the cases that have occurred in any party for-eraag: youre, is one in this city—the union between the office of Naval Storekeeper, in Brooklyn, and the editorship of an even'ng paper, called the Evening Mirror. It is true the office is trifling, and was bestowed as a kind of gift, in rerponte to the most doleful besecch- ings, after two or three more important places had been refused. No one thing has done the admini tration of Mr. Fillmore and Mr. Webster more injury in this city, than permitting this office holder to continue as the editor of a partizan newspaper, and bold himsel{out as the special, chosen, favo- rite and sclect organ and confidant of this ad- ministration. By continuing him in office while he is the avowed editor and publisher of such a sheet, Mr. Fillmore and Mr. Webster become his endorsers, and wil: justly be held by the public re- sponsible for the violation of a sound public principle Just look at the question. After (ioneral Jackson was elected President, several editors who had advocated his election, wore appoint- ed to officee—somo of high honor and trast, and some, though not so responsible, wero highly lwcrative For this he was attac! by the whig party, with unmeasured violence. His conduct was assailed in Congress, and particularly and the prominent whigs, we believe witha: ception, all joined in denounciag the practice as the extremity of political demoralization. Messrs Webster, Clay, Ewing, Claytoa, Crittenden, Fil- more, and, we believe, Mr. Graham, the prosont Secretary of the Navy—in fact, every whig of any note in the country, united in ringing the apon the eries—" Corruption of the Press!” pointe Maine ditors nominased to to. $0 force aad power to Louisiana, Several were rejected by the $ ful wore these denunciations by the whig party, and so strong was the effect profacod upon opinion, tha, in deferenge to that of nh was induced to preseribe ale, that if an editor re he should at once divcoutect bim tirely from newspapers; aod if aa incum forthwith Th we » relia when yield uy ia the paper, is an exemplifica adopted by Old Hickory We well remember that # veral of the leading de he r Ia mocratic ed of M he 1 eribe editors fro al! public of distin } cessarily leads those who pursue it to a more in | per, emolument, merely because they are editors, if they are in other respects fit and capable. We would resiet the attempted degradation, by any party, of our profession, merely because that profession ne- timate connection with the polities of the country, than any other. ‘The profession of editor is as honorable and “respectable” as that of mershant, doctor, soldier, sailor, lawyer, or clergyman, and cupation of oflive beggar, or of political huckster of office to the needy. It requires more ability, in- dependence, learning, integrity of character and moral principle, to conduct a leading newspaper in the United States properly, than it does to folloy any other calling. Generally, the selection of an editor for an office, if he has succeeded ia efforts to make his press useful and intluential, is a guarantee that he will fill the office worthily. first starte religious life until the preeent: day, we oave put him forward as the most promi- ne>? American candidate for the Popedom that the present century has been blessed with by Hea- ven. As itis, he has reached, with our aid, the high position of Archbishop, and but for some mis- takes, he would have returned a Cardinal—for the hat and robe were nearly half ready for his use — He is, however, still, comparatively, a young man, mush more honorable and respectable than the oo- | and with care and good training, he may yet not | the bi only wear the hat, but reach the tiara itself. We trust, therefore, that the banquet about to be given to his Grace, will be conducted with a care- | ful regard to the past and to the future—with all the dignity which the Catholio church demands. The Catholics in this country are increasing very ra- pidly, through the same policy that favored thetr increase in the time of the Roman Empire, before | the accession of Constantine the Great. In a few But the appointment to office of the conductor of a political partizan newspaper, solely in reward | for his having prostituted himself and his press to | advance the cause of a party, or the interests of a particular aspirant, or with an understanding, ex- press or implied, that he will do so—and when the appointee has but few other merits—cannot | be justified. So also to allow the holder of a lucrative subordinate office, subject to removal at the will of the President, or that of the head of a department, to continue in office while | editor, is not defensible oa the grounds we have suggested, as justifying the appointment of honest and respectable editors, who, upon acceptance of the commission, relinquish all interest in and con. nection with the press. Such continued connection with a political pa by an office holder, also comes within the szope of another prominent and sound doc- trine, promulged and advocated by the whigs during the administration of General Jackson, and which the democratic party were obliged to con- form to, viz.—*‘the impropriety of federal officers using their official influence in political con- tests.” To allow an office holder to be at the same time the editor and publisher of apolitical partizan newspaper, isa practice which no honest public man, of any party, has ever attempted to justify. The essence of the objection urged by the whigs to the “appointment” of editors, exists with tenfold force against this practice. No pro- minent whig forty years old dares attempt its justification, under peril of having his former de- nunciations of the appointment ef editors, (even upon express condition of disconnecting themselves | from the press,) quoted to show his flagrant incon- sistency. We could readily cite speeches by pro- minent whigs, and language ured by them while Jackson, and Van Baren, and Polk were in poser, that would choke them stone dead, if they were honest enough to die, upon any attempt by them to justify this practice. They denounced the ap- pointment of editors as tending to demoralize and corrupt the public press; as caloulated to induce men of weak minds and corrupt pring bitious of distinction, or avaracious, or inflas | by lust of power, and having control of a news | paper, to prostitute its columns in order to com- passselfish ends. But the case of a press conducted by an offize holder is much more glaring. Dependent for his meat and bread upon the will of the President, or one of his secretaries, to see such editor honest, fearless, and independent, would bea sight as rare as that of a white crow. Indeed, we do not believe an honest, and trustworthy, and high- toned man, could be persuaded to placo himself in such a degrading position. The supple, truck- ling, time-serving knave, doubtless will feel few scruples. Such a creuture does not feel ashamed or humbled that others own him. The property may be more or less valueless to the owners; but still such office-holding editor is the mere chattel of of his superiors, as much as the ourang-outang or anaconda are chattels of Barnum. His masters hold him not by a mortgage title, but they have a full, and complete, and perfeet bill of sale of him, and his types, and his press, and his paper—of his mind, if he has any—of his principles, if he ever had any—and of all his remains of honesty and inde- | pendence, and truth, his body and soul, head, heart, bands, brains, breeches and all. Such an office holding editor ceases to be a man. His slavery is | more abject thon that of a Georgia negro, and is | as degraded as that of a black euouch im the harem of the Grand Sultan. - On looking over the list of appointments since March 4, 1849, we find upon it the oames of several editors, prominent only as violent partizans, and not distinguished for peculiar fitness for the offices thoy have received. Foreign missions, in several in- stances, seeretaryrhips and attachéships to embas, sies, consulates, storekeeperships, important bu- reaux at Washington, clerkships, commissioner- ships, post offises, lucrative agencies, and other places of every imaginable character—some illegiti- | mate, not being provided by law, and many not on | the regular list submitted for confirmation to the | Senate—have been showered apon editors, and their sons, nephews, cousins, family connexions, or pro“ teges, more numerowly than upon avy other pro- fessicn or class. The whigs have gone infinitely beyond General Jackson in this respect. They have “out-Heroded Herod.” What has been distributed to needy whig editors in the way of jobs and con- tracts, and Galphin pickings and stealings—a chunk off of the public loaf here, and a stice there— the Lord only knows. We are endeavoring to compile a list of these appointments, and so forth, with fall explana y notes, for the use of the public. While it will edify, it will excite the indignation of every honest patriot in the land. If we mistake not, this subject will become one of the leading pointe in the next Presidential canv and no one participant in the appointment and continuance in office of some of the exceptionable appointees, will receive the support of the honest and independent portion of the press, even of the whig party. Imvortant Retierovs Moveaent— Banquver | Proroskp To Ancnmisior Hueres.—We ander rtand that a movement has been commenced in the | proper quarter, among men of reapectability, piety, | and good taste in wines, to get up a banquet to | Archbishop Hughes, that will far surpass, in | elegance and splendor, that recently given in his | hover in Liverpool, or that in London.

Tre Wess anv Witurs Case.—Yesterday, in the Superior Court, a decision was made which is decidedly against Webb. The three Judges were unanimously of opinion that Webb must obey the | injunetion of the court, and deliver up the letters, a3 originally directed. Webb's counsol may take exceptions, and appeal to a higher court ; but it is doubtful if such advice will be given, after the complete unanimity of opinion by the three Julges who have given their opinion. This decision will open a new and interesting journey to travel—a sort of a mission iuto a new country—not Austria—in which Webb will be accompanied with the usual escort of lawyers in such cases. According to all the rumors about the courts, sevoral libel suits will be commenced against ‘Webb by the Coddingtons, as well as by Willis. Well, this is a singular world, and time brings around the most singular results. For ten years, Webb, in conjunction with Willis, and the greater portion of their cotemporaries, have presented a combination profeseing to claim all the respect- ability of the press, and have united in denouncing the New York Herald, its editor, and all coanected with it, as the source of the most libellous, most unprincipled, most atrocious, most scandalous, and most villanous acts in the history of journalism— abusing this journal, at all points, a3 the most dan- | gerous and gorrupt press since the first day that | Satan entered the garden of Eden, in the shape of a newsboy, hallooing an “extra”—-which Eve bought--down to the present hour. They have | called it, par excellence, the ‘ Satanic press.” Now, what is the fact? The greatest libol that | is # niece, residing somewhere in this city. was ever published in this journal was done by substituting, in mistake, John for James. In 1337, when five hundred New York merchants—m pre or less—sollapeed in the pocket, James Haggerty | went by the board. We announced that it was John Haggerty, by a mere accident—and hence the libel. All other charges—as facts and events have proved—-have not made a single case of libel against | us; and as developements are made, day by day, we are becoming convinced—and the public with us, we imagine—that our journal is the oaly docent, respect able, intelligent, candid and fair newspaper in this elty or neighborhood. The accusations of our cctemporaries, directed against each other, of “liar,” “ villain,” “ swindler,” “ thief,” ‘*conviet,” “seducer,” * forger,” have never yet polluted our columns. just, and pure, ‘in all our personal and political rela’ tions, we never have supposed our cotemporaries | were otherwise, till they went gratuitously to work to prove it to the public. Right is might, sooner or later. Americans at tHe Wortpn’s Fain.—We aro much afraid that the Americans at the World’s | Fair have made themselves the laughing stock of the whole world. The Governor of Virginia, itmay be recollected, commissioned Mr. E. 8.
