All the cigus in the politicdl irmamest indicate that he and the President had better stick together. We rejoice to be assured, by telegraph, of the amicable relations between the Prevident and Secretary of State. There muet be no ministerial crisis at ‘Washington, at least not till after the New York and Massachusetts clections. The news from the seat o° the revolution in Northern Mexico is exceedingly important. Ao eording to the last report at New Orleans, notwith- standing the reinforcements sent by sea to the re- Nef of Matamoros, by President Arista, the revolu- tionary party hadtaken the town. If this be so, ‘their work of conquest is complete; and it only re- mains to be seen whether they will follow it up wi:h @ compromise with the central government, or by the establishment of an independen: republic of the Borthern departments of Mexico. Appéarances are Row in favor of the latter a!'crnative. In the mean- time, the reports of deserters from the United States army, end of emigrants from ‘Fexas, in aid of the Fevolutionery movement, will be apt to lead to Bome correspordence between the Mexican govern- ment and ourown. This small afiair on the Rio Grande may yeteventuate in the most important Teeulte. We are bappy tg learn tha! the steamer Falcon, m whore account some anxiety has been felt, has Feached New Orleans.

We published, the other day, a very sensible letter from ex President Tyler, to the Spanish Minister at Washington, Don Calderon de la Barca, appeal- ing for his good offices in behalf of the American prigonersin Spain. We were glad to see it. We were glad to learn from the document that the patriotic and benevolent ex-President was still alive. His letter is in good season. Every man of influence ought now to lend his aid in behalf of those poor fellows of the Cuban expedition. Messrs. Greer and Donaldson might be of good service if they would only wait upon the President, or write him one of their excellent letters. The administration, at all events, is bound by every consideration of justice and humanity, to exert itself te the utmost to reclaim the remnant of the ill-fated foray of the Pampero. The depar- ture of that vessel is attributable to the neglect of the administration, and its indifference to the movements of Lopez and his confederates at New Orleans. The cabinet were too much taken up with the profits of these Mexican and Florida claims ; too much occupied in the distribution of fat offices to brothers and nephews, and uncles and aunts, and neices, and friends, and partizans, to attend properly to their official duties in this mat- ter. And last of all, at the very time when the government should have been at Washington, it was seattered over half the Union, making electioneering speeches—the President among the mountains of Virginia, the Secretary of State ia New England, the Secretary of War in New York, the Attorney General in Kentucky, and the reat of them God only knows where. It was at that crisis that the Pampero sailed, and landed her men in Cuba; and before the President could hurry back, the mischief was done. Crittenden and his fifty men were executed, and the residue living wore left to the mercy of the Captain General. It is to him they owe their lives. They were outlawed by the proclamation. Our government was not at hono— our consul stood aloof—and if the prisoners had been exterminated, it would have been by the Pre- sident’s authority. Gen. Taylor saved the Contoy prisoners by timely instructions; buat Mr. Fillmore was off at the springs, and the proclamation did the work, not for pirates, but the deluded follo vers of Lopez. But the great, original blunder was in neglecting to put a stop to the schemes of Lopes, after his return from the Cardenas affair. He was suffered to run at large, instead of being promptly punished. Does anybody believe tat, had Lopez met his-just de- serts in the first instance, he would have died the violent death which he met in Cuba, or that those five hundred young men who followed him would have left the United States on any sash adventure ? Had Lopez been taken care of, there would have been no more trouble about these Cuban invasions. Another thiog—the cabinet, from tho Presideat down, were a little too accommodating towards the Custom House officers at New Orleans, and other officials sympathizing with, and winking at, if not actually aiding and abetting, the expedition of Lopez. It is highly probable—and we think the proof ean be obtained to establish the fact—that but for the aid and connivance ef the government officers, the Pampero would not have been ready for the descent upon Cuba to this day. I; was the business of the President and his cabinet to know of these proceedings at the time. After the vessel bad sailed, there was precious little atonement for past neglect, in the diemissal of the New Orleans collector. The act was only necessary, to showthat the executive did not connive at the violation of our neutrality, permitted or perpetrated by his sub ordinates in Loulsiana. Every civilized people know, or ought to know, that neither the government nor the people of the United States wish to steal the island of Cuba, nor to obtain that beautiful piece of property undet false pretences. Nothing of the sort. This people and this government are strong enough to be just, and brave enough to be open, above-board, and magtanimous in all their relations with foreign powers. Ifa just provocation shall ever arrive, the act will be done openly; the island will be overrun and conquered, as the work was done in Mexico. But while Spain remains in occupation, the United States will be content. They will not, however, be content with any compact, under any terms, by which the possession of the island may be turned over to Great Britain. It would be too palpably a suicidal policy to pe mit that powerful maritime and ambitious nation to get possession of the lock and key of the gulf. Norcan the United States recognise any foreign alliance fer the purpose of watching and guarding the island of Cuba against any future irruptions from our shores. We are gratified to learn from Washington that Mr. Crit- tenden, acting Secretary of State in the absence of Mr. Webster, bas written a letter to Lord Pal- merston on the subject, in conformity with these views. This is well enough. In the meantime, however, the administration, we hope, hare not omit- ted the necessary instructions to Mr. Barringer, at Madrid, for the release of the prisoners from Cuba. We learn by the Europa, that one hundred and twenty-six of thom had arrived in Spain. Mr. Owen, at Havana, sheltered himself behind the proelamation. It appears to have been all the same to him, whether the prisonors | were shot or transported. We trust that Mr Bar- ringer will have different instructions for his guide, and more consistent with the necessities of his countrymen. The administration will, doubtless, be brought to a rigid croseexamination by Con- gress, for everything it has done, or failed to do, in | this Cuba business; but it will be something in his | favor, if the President shall be able to report in his annual message the safe return of the prisoners now in Spain. We hope soonto hear from Mr. Web- ster on this subject, now that he is again at the helm of the State Department.

Did you ever see the elegant dancers leading out the beautiful young daughters of the Fifth Avenue, through all the intricacies of the quadrille, the gy- rations of the polka, the ecstatic short corners of the mazourka,and the mysteries of the Schottische, as these varied accomplishments of ‘‘ the poetry of motion” can be seen at Madame A.’s academy the present season? It is a charming spectacle. It Is delightful to see those beautiful young crea- tures, and the exquisite grace, beauty and finish with which, under their superior instruction, they pass through all the mazy evolutions of their fairy exercises. If youhave not seen them, and cannot see them, and cannot send neither sons or daughters to see them, then your only remedy is to read and study the mysteries of the Donaldson correspon- dence. There is no other equivalent in the way of a quiet, classical, and graceful entertainmen: for a | leisure hour. The Donaldson letters combino all the | varieties of the polka, the wonders of the mazourka, | the elegance of the pigeon wizg, the piquancies of | the Highland fling, the Virginia break-down, and | the Carolina double shuftle, in all their moiifica- | tions and complications. And the distinguished | characters engaged, from Joshua R. Giddings, the | leader of the abolitionists of Ohio, to Gen. Com- | mander, the principal fire-eater, the Monsieur | Chaubert, of South Carolina, give a particular zest to the entertainment. We expect soon to get at the bottom of the whole mystery. It is evidently worth clearing up. Tho anecdote which we published the other day, shows that Judge Douglas is probably in the secret; and we expect shortly to be on the track of the indi- vidual who stole those letters from the ‘carpet-bag of Nathaniel Greer. In obedience to ‘ manifest destiny,” we publish, | to-day, three more letters on the subject of this Do-- na‘dscn movement—one from General Sam Hous- ton, one from Nathaniel Greer, and one from ex- Senator Westcott, of Florida. In addition tothese very interesting documents, wo publish a most im- | portant and curious certificate from Mr. Merrifield, | of 113 Beekman street, who sells first rate stoves. | His certificate puts a clincher to the horrible and diabolical accusations against Mr. Westcott, and | com pletely confirms the impressions of Mr. Greer, | that the ex-Senator has been wrongfully suspected of concocting this coalition free soil movement for | the Presidency, for the purpose of breaking down | Gen. Houston. | The dignified letter of the distinguished Senator | from ‘Texas, we copy from the Washington Union, | being addressed to Major Donelson, we suppose as | the next of kin of C. H. Donaldson, “the great un- | known.” Pessibly the Major may know something | more on this subject than he has thought fit to dis- | close. The letter of Mr. Westeott is highly in- | structive, philosophical, and satisfactory. So is | the certificate of Mr. Merrifield. But the indignant | letter of Mr. Greer caps the climax, and presents a catalogue of grievances to which there is scarcely a | parallel among unrewarded politicians. He ap- | pears to have been turning the grindstone for other people’s axes, without the reward of a copper. Lis statement is worth studying by all those confiding young men who put their trast in political dema- goguer, cliques, and wire-workers, for the spoils. ‘The experience of Mr. Greer proves that patrietism without profit does not pay expenses. We expect further revelations on this subject. | The published correspondence has excited a great | deal of fluttering and trouble among our de- | mocratic cotemporaries, and indignation enough | in various qaarters to set up a second date | French revolution. But we never shrink from a geodcause. We want the whole truth upon this mytterious free eoil movement of Mr. Donaldson— all the letters, all the fuets, ail the circumstances, and all the certificates of a full explanation. A let- | ter from Thurlow Weed, of what he knows, might | be useful ; the Hon. Truman Smith could no doubt throw a flood of light upon the subject ; the Sa- chems of Tammany Hall, and Mr. J. H. Keyser, another enterprising iron monger in Beekman street, | perbaps, know something of Mr. Donaldson. At all events, Gen. Houston has no cause of complaint. He has been brought into notice—a very important thing for all candidates for the Presidency—and he has had a chance for a good letter, which is also | very desirable. We shall yet clear up the whole | mystery. wit | Fees or Unitep States Marsuats, District | ATTORNEYS AND CLERKS.—By the fourth section of | the act of May, 1792, it is provided that— ‘The legal fees of the clerk, a! , and marshal, in criminal prosecutions, shall be included in the account | of the marshal; and the same been examined and certified by the court, or one of the judges of it, in which | the services shall have been rendered. shall be passed in the usual manner. and the amount thereef the Treasury to the marshal, and by bim over to the persons entitled to the same. Under this act, it has been the uniform practice | from its date down to the present time, to furnish | the marshal with the means of carrying out its pro- | visions. The language of the act seems to be per- fectly plain, and, we should say, capable of but one | interpretation; but it appears that Mr. Elisha Whittlesey, aided by philosopher (ireeley and John | C. Spencer, has given a construction to it which is | quite novel, and would, in effect, compel some of | the United States officers to serve withou! com- pensation. Mr. Elisha Whittlesey, First Comp- | troller of the Treasury, has issueda circular to tho United States officers, stating that the act of Con gress, and the State statutes, are inthe nature of a revised act, which repeals all other acts on the same subject, £0 far ‘as regards the State of New York, and excludes any allowance to any of those cflicers under the fee bill of February 28, 1799, un- | | derthe provisos in the act of March 3, 1841, and under any and all other previous acts of Congross. } ‘The matter has been laid before three Attorneys | General of the United States—Butler, Gilpin, and | | Critvenden—and ¢ach of them has given the opinion | that the taxation of the Judge is conclusive as to the amount to be paid to those officers, and that | unanimous opinion has been confirmed several times | by Judges of the Supr. Court of the United | States, and more recently, as will be seen by the decision in the case at Detroit, delivered by Judge McLean, and which appears in another part of our paper. The first Comptroller, however, holds him- telfas above the decisions of the courts, and, ap- pealing to the higher law of his own opinion, diere | garde the ruling of the Judges, and refuses to pase | the accounts of the marshal.

More than thirty years ago we became connected with the pressof this country; ani from that period up to the present day, we have professed and acted upon thesame principles which we now promulgate on there national questions. Our first connection with the American press began in South Caroliaa; ardin South Carolina and Georgia, by personal inspection, we made ourselves acquainted with the peculiar character of Southern institutions. When (about the year 1821 or 1822) the late Mr. Noah was turned out of the old National Advocate, we conducted that journal for several years, under the ownership of Thomas Snowden. We commenced @ movement in that newspaper, which brought about the union of the Jackson and the Crawford parties in 1826, and brought out the National Intel- ligencer against our views and writings, in the famous articles called “the Signs of the Times.” We next becsme connected with the New York Courier and Enquirer, soon after that newspaper was established; and in that journal we pursued the eame course, up to the time that our connection with it terminated, when it was induced, by a loan of $52,567 75 from the United States Bank, to change its party and its principles. In 1885, we established the New York Heraup onthe same great national principles, and have conducted it ever since according to the platform of compromise, the integrity of the constitution, and the preservation of the rights of the South. These are historical fasts. Now, what can the Journal of Commerce show? Let us soe. The doctrine of abolition, which is only another name for scdition, when it is carried into action, was firet premuJgated by the old federal party of New England, during the Presidencies of Jefferson ard Madison. The total defeat of the federat party in the second election of Medison, in opposition to Clinton, consigned all these old advocates of aboli- tion and sedition to the silence of the grave. From that period, 1812 to 1826, when the Journal of Com- merce was first established here upon anti-slavery principles, the country lived in repose, quiet, and without disturbance. The Journat or Commerce was the first daily newspaper organ established in New York, or the Northern States, which re-opened the | agitation of that subject, and began afresh the abolition cacitement , which has been subsequently only followed up and imitated by Garrison, Fred. Douglass, Abby Kelly, Van Buren, Wm. H. Seward, and Gerrit Smith, at various intervals. Arthur Tappan and scme of the same men now connected with the Journal of Commerce, wero the first revivers of the seditious cry. The establishment of the first North- ern Anti-Slavery Society soon followed the establist- ment of the Journal of Commerce. For many years that paper acted cometimes as an open, some- times as a secret, auxiliary of all those societies for the propagation of abolition and sedition, till it saw an opening wide enough to catch some ofthe adver- tisements and subseribers of its rival, the Courier and Enquirer; and then it seized its opportunity, like a hypocrite and a pickpocket, to make a show of abancening its ¢arly predilections and its early pro- jects, for the eake of decoying and humbugging the people of the South. But abolition blood flows threugh the veins of the Journal of Commerce; and as soon as its rapaecity is eomewhat sated by South- ern pep, its original instincts will break out again, and, in the language of the Scriptures, “The dog will return to bis vomit, and the sow that was washed to ber wallowing in the mire.” We warn Southern statesmen and Southern poli. ticians, and Southern merchants, not to truss the treacherous, rapaciour, unprineipled, and money- | getting newspaper, that was the first fownder and Somenter of avolition and sedition in the Northern States, and that preceded Garrison and Seward, and all of that clan, as Satan preceded sin and death in the garden of Eden. A word to the wise is suffi- cient. Barntm asp Lota Mowri —Originating in some Paris correspondence published in Boston, the newspapers have been stating that Barnum had en- gaged Lola Montez, the great European socialist in petticoats, and beautiful Bavarian exile, to come to the United States, and dance some republican dances, and get up anew edition of the Jenny Lind JSwrore.

Lola Montet made some inquiries about the historical reminiscences of Barnum, beginning with Joyce Heath, and ending probably with the Fire Annihilator, and she declared positively that Mr. Barnum should not have her services, for he was too much of a humbug. In consequence of her refusal to complete the en- gagement, ehe received letters from certain parties in London, informing her that if she went to the United States, under any other engagemen’ than that of Barnum, the vast influence he could use would bring out the American journals against her.
