We published, the other day, an article briedly ex- hiditing the embarrassmeats and hard perplexities which appear to stand immovably in the way of apy union or co-operation between the Northern and Southern detachments ofthe whig party, in the approaching Presidential election. We attempted te prove from the official proceedings of the whig party in ail the Northern States, where thoy Dave formally made any declarations on the sub- Jeet, that the whige of t Northern States are pre-committed to Gen. Srott—that he is to be the whig nominee, by the will of the Northern majority, which will have all power over the coa- | Viois to the Rio Grande, is low, fat, bot, and Wentiou—that the only concessions to be made will be to Seward, Weed, Greeley, and their ring- treaked and striped confederates of all colors, im the unclean work of free soilism, abolition and eedition—that for the first time in the country’s history, 2 great party, discarding their Southern brethren, and the rights, feelings and sympathies of | crowded rable dvhote, the night-long revels in the | the South, ae ‘not worth the candle,” had resolved te run General Scott as a sectional candidate, on sectional grounds, wha‘ever the consequenses to hkim, to them, or to the country.

The history of the past—the state of the country Row—the wide-epreading elements of disaffection in the South, from an extending disbelief in Northern Promises, or Northern protection—the apparent wmanimity with which the whigs of the Northern States are proceeding, one after another, upon their sectional platform of General Scott's nomination— the cavalier manner in which they give the admi- day—only contribute to strengthen our impressions Of the suicidal policy of the whigs, and the inevitable results of ruin and disaster to all concerned.

Others suppose that Gen. Cass is entitled to another trial; but whatever the particular right or wrong of his course on the [tiver and Harbor bill last sessjon, we very much appre- hend it has created ‘*too much noise and confusion” in the West to admit of the possibility of ais re-no_ pation. Besides, the old affront between him and Van Buren, thoughavenged, has not been recon- ciled. Some, again, suppose that Mr. Buchanan, from his steadfast position on the line of 36 degrees 30 minutes, will be most satisfactory to the South. No satisfactory conjecture ean, however, yet be made in reference either to the ticket or the plat- form of the democrats for 1852. With the meeting of Congress, the business of cutting and drying everything for the Natienal Convention commences, We doubt notthey will build a Union platform, the frame work of good solid Southern timber; and that asatisfactory Northern and Southern manwill be selected. Itvis quite manifest, however, that standiug as the Northern whigs now do, the demo- crats have the game in their own hands, before the people or before the House. Our ticket is the Union and the constitution, and no dodging, and weare in for the campaign. Norruern Watening Praces—Sovrnern Vi- siteRS.—The numerous list of passengers from New Orleans, by the steamers Winfield Scott and Cherckee, and the arrivals in the regular lines from Savannah and Charleston, afford the most conclusive evidence that the doctrine of non-iater- course, attempted to be set up in many of the Southern States, has been very signally disregarded by the Southern people. We have no doubt that South Carolina has considerably reduced the list of ber annual visiters to Saratoga, Newport, Sharon, Lebanon, Niagara, the St. Lawrence, the White Mountains, and Lake Champlain, &e., &e., on ac count of some disagreeable difficulties on the negro | question; and that the World’s Fair, Paris,and | the Continent, have divided the profits of these ab- | sentees; but still our Northern caravansaries og health, folly, and fashion, are fairly patronized | from all the Southern States of the Union, with | here ard there some indifferent conditional seces- sionist from South Carolina herself. Tne number we expect to be increased as the season advances, with the returning thousands now dispersed from the Crystal Palace to the borders of Hungary. It is perfectly absurd to talk of non-intercourse be- tween the North and the South, and especially in a social point of view. While the whole Atlantic seaboard of the South, from the Capes of Vir. pestilential, so long will the inhabitants fly from their swamps and sultry and suffocating piney woods, for health, security, and recreation, to the pure air, reviving waters, and cooling breezes of the sea and mountains of the North. To all sectional ideas of comfort, the close dormitory, the | ball room, the sickly namby-pamby affectations of | aristocratic breeding, the burry-seurry, flirtation, | fuss, and flummery of our fashionable watering places, are simply repulsive. They are, however, secondary inconveniences to the Southerner, from his torrid seacoast, in pursuit of the reinvigorating influences of pure oxygen, a cooler atmosphere, and health restoring waters, all of which are realities to him. The Northern Swings and the Northern seacoast are, then, positive enjoyments, and very often an absolute necessity to him. Secession may | signify something, but non-intercourse, and last of all, social non-intercourse, ie sheer humbug. While the physical character of the two sections is differ- | ent, while the seasons between them are different, while the people and their institutioas are different, | so long will the cotton, rice, tobacco and sugar | | ! watering places of the North. And the bost that we can do, iz, to let them come along. | Newsrarers in Massacuusetts.—We shall | give to morrow an abstract which we have made | | Ma: | | sufficiently corre nto woich the whigs have | papers and periodicals to their respective ta have received of the United relative to the news papers and periodicals published in the State of M Lusetts,as the same were returned by the hals who took the census last year. This list, although not as complete as it might have been, is to be of interest to the public.

The circulation of the Boston daily press, it perty, upon a | nion ticket and Union princi- | appears, is about as large as that of the aggregate ples. But the most powerful evidence that the | circulation of the daily papers published in this @emocrats can unite, is in the fact that the fifty | city, iderably over 100,000; but Boston, it millions (250,000,000) a year of the asury, | will be remembered, is a great thoroughfare, and and for the regular expenses, and all the perquisit eontingencies— bog jowls, beef shanks, and marrow bones of the kitehen—will be all clear profit.

The whigs, on the otber hand, in losing, lose everything ; and in gain- ing, they only lengthen the lease to the spoils they have already divided. The spoils, then, will be a powerful incentive to anion, and @ national ticket, ‘among the democrats. Their late fast has sharp- ened their wits and their appetites at the same ti and a party of hungry men are very apt to be of one opinion—that a good dinner is the first object ; ‘fend it may reasonably be supposed that if # anion of all their resources is required to secure this rich repast, they will readily unite: for hungry stomach: nd good fare silence all chafferings upon paltry conscientious scruples Under such temptations, it fis no great stretch of fancy to say that Martin Van Buren and Lewis Case, and Prince John and Father | | Ritchie, and Long John Wentworth and General | Jefferson Davia, and Benton and Foote, are all fa vorably disposed to some accommodation, by which all may again revel atthe luxurious crib of the treasury. The fifty millions a year is a very p> wer- fal incentive to the reunion of the national demo- @racy; and it isa bond of no little importance to the Union itself. But how are the democracy to unite!

The officers then informed Douglas and Benson that they should accompany them at once tothe Tombs. Dovglas and Benson being ready, they were allowed to see Clements and bid him a final farewell, The three as- sociates— if not in guilt, at least associates in misfortune to this bour—met; they shook hands, looked in each others faces, paused, and spoke for a few minutes. Dow glas, we are informed, still seems unflinching, but no- thing particular was noticed in his observations.

On their wuy to the Tombs, the prisoners occasionally corrersed with Megsrs, Tall- | madge and Thompson. Benson still proclaims his own jpmocence, and also asserts that he did not see Clements take the decisive and deadly part im the transaction that he was charged with. Benson is perfectly resigned to his fate, and rays that he would not change position with any one he knows. Qn reaching the prison ia New York, the first thing he called for was the Bible. The United States Marshal's office was yesterdiy crowded from morning till evening, with persous apply- ing fortickets of adinission to witness the execution, There must have been, at least, two thousaad people there, thronging the offices and the passages leading thereto. The Marshal was completely overwhelmed wih applicants, and, when the limited aumber of his tickets was exhausted. he was obliged to lock himself up in his office, and refuse to see any other persons who came with the sume desire. Such is this morbid appetite amoag the community to see the straugulation of a fellow being, and, though thousands were sadly disappointed at not being able to gain admission to the scene, yet there are tens of thousands, whem no earthly consideration could induce to look upon the awful, though necessarily legal, tragedy.

Erie Railroad, Reading, and Morris Canal were the most active on the list, and the transactions were principally on time. It would appear from the operations in Krie Railroad, that the bears felt confident of depreciating the market value ofthe stock. Prices hold their own pretty well, and there are plenty of buyers, Morris Canal has been quite active lately, but prices do not move mach either way. Reading Railroad is firmly sustained. We notice a sale, at the First Bourd, of Virginia Sixes, at five per cent pro- mium. This must soon become a favorite stock with capitalists, and ultimately command an advance equal t> any State security in the market. We have had very few of the bonds of that State offered here, and the resources of Virginia are comparatively little known ameng eapi- taliste; but investigation will satiefy any ome that there is no State in the Union better able to meet all its en- eagements. Harlem has slightly improved within the past day or two. It is without doubt, the best and most pro- mising railroad stock in the market. The net earnings, after paying interest and dividend on preferred stook, will this year be equal to a dividend of seven pet cent on the old stock; notwithstanding which this stock is selling at twenty-six per cent below par This is favorable for buyers, and many are no doubt availing themselves ot the opportunity to withdraw all they went for perina- nent investment from the market, The earnings for July ro far have been large, ard the aggregate for the month will show an increase, over that for the correspondiag month last year, equal to that of any previous one.

The amount realized was more than one hundrod thousand dollars. The sale of « small portion of the land, valued at about twenty thousand dollars, was post- | poned until October, to await the location of the Coatral | Reitroad.

The sales at the United States Land Office, at Spring- field, Iinois, during the second uarter in 1861, amount- ed to 43,661 acres, of which 95.060 acres were taken by Mexican land warrants; 3.640 acres by land warrants, new iseue: and 4,001 acres with cach. All this land wil) be taxable in one year, and will be assessed at three dol. Jars per acre, amounting to $190983, quadruple that | Mmnount for the year, and the sum will be $523.92. There are, we believe, eight other land districts in the | State, and hould each office enter as much land as the | Springfield, it will make an aggregate in value, of $4,716,088. This shows how rapidly the value of proper- ty in Tilinots is inerensing. At this rate, the time is not Ps distant when the full interest om the debt of Iiliacie
