Policies being the order of business at the present time, we have elsewhere given a complete list of all the o dates for State and city officers, the various pieces for helding the polls within the corporation, ard valuable statistics for reference. Besides the election in our own State to- day, State elections take place, also, in Michi- gar, Wisconsin, and Maryland. In Wisconsin, ths free soilers rum a separate ticket. In Mv ryland, it is the first election under the new consti- tation, for State officers. An election also comes cf in Delaware, to-day, on the question, *‘Shal) there be a convention called to draft a new consti tution!” And we have no doubt it will be called. Delaware, thougha smail State, has beeome too big fer her old breeches. im connection with other political matters, we also publich the result of the vote for Governor in Celifornia, so far as beard from, and the official re- surns for the same office in Pennsylvania. Upon the whole, we have done considerable for the politicians im this morning’s pape’, and we hope they will re- ‘ure the compliment by rendering a speedy account of their transactions to-day. Alas, for poor Mexico! We have the most sig- Bificant and momentous news from Mexico. It Jooks like the handwriting on the wall, pronouncing, im letters of fire, the end of the miserable republic. For a quarter of a century she has been a mockery mong the nations, and now the signs are clear that che is soon to be blotted out. What is to become of her? What mean those threats of England, that she will blockade every port of Mexico, unless those debts are paid which she is utterly unable to pay! Head the Mexican intel- ligence in our columns today, and answer these “ay; nd the malt of Mr. Forrest against Mr. Wile | to rally upon, and we lis, for libel, is No. 98 on the calendar of the United ‘States Circuit Court, where there are one hundred and twenty-two causes for trial this term. The Oyer and Terminer has adjourned to Monday next. There are three murder cases for trial in that court. During the past week, there were three hundred and seventy-five deaths in this city, of which two hundred and sixty were Americans, and the re- mainder foreigners. The principal causes of de- mise were as follows: —Inflammatiens, 51; various kinds of fevers, 31; consumption, 37; convulsions, 29; dropsy, 24; marasmus, 22; dysentery, 21; diarrhoea, 20; small pox, 9. One hundred and twenty-six of those who died were adults, and two hundredand thirty-nine were children—being nearly two of the latter class to one of the former. The Election To-Day. The election of State officers, Judges, Common Council men, and other officers, about which £0 much has been said and sung for some time past, by the party press, will take place to-day, and will be decided one way or the other by sun-down. By that time the “ country will be saved,” and a new bateh of office holders and treasury plunderers will be elected, to eat the substance of the people, and to intrigue and lay plans for their continuance in office. Both parties are making a great deal of noise and uproar, and, as usual, eath claims victory in advance. In boasting and bullying, and threat- ening and cajoling, and intriguing, and in the use of corruption of all kinds, they are equally balanced; and whichever gets the ascendancy, the people at large may rest assured that they will derive very little benefit from it. Notwithstanding all the excitement which the politicians are endeavoring to create respecting this election, it is really and essentially one of the least important we have ever had in this State. It will be nothing but a contest for the spoils, by two corrupt, unprine'pled, and selfish political parties, who have shown themselves devoid of all patriotism and pationality on the great question of the day. Neither of their conventions at Syracuse had the manlinees or moral courage to construct a compre- hensive national platform, or to take a stand against the wild and destructive spirit of abolitionism now rampant in the State. On the contrary, both, toa certain extent, succumbed to the abolition factions of the North. In this point of view, the nomina- tions ef nei ier party deserve any encouragement orsuppo: rom the honest masses. In order, how- ever, to deceive the people, and to lead them away from considering all this, the politicians get up a hue and cry about the completion of the enlarge- ment of the canals. This is all nonsense. The enlargement is a fixed fact—the people have so de- cided—a bill for that purpose was passed by the last Legislature, and the canals will be enlarged, no matter what party may succeed in the election. There is nothing left now, but for the successful party to carry the law into effect. As for the can- didates, we do not care a fig which set is elected. Thus much for the State. In relation to the city election, the only important point of it is the elec- tion of Aldermen and Assistant Aldermen. The candidates of each party for eeats onthe bench, are, on the whole, very respectable, and very creditable in every point of view. But let our fellow citizens look to the Corporation. The present city govern- ment is as corrupt, and as worthless as any that ever preceded it. This is saying a great deal, but not too much. Its contract dealings have been in- famous, and in the extent to which it hae plundered the city treasury, and wasted the people's money, it is entitled to the credit ef having gone deeper and grabbed more than any of its predecessors. No candidate, therefore, who has had any conneotion with the present city governmen:, ought to be re- elected. If the other candidates running were only half as honest and capable as Richard T. Compton» the candidate for Alderman of the Eighth ward, there would not be so much trouble among the peo- ple in selecting fit persons. Aste the candidates for other offices, we do not know much about them. On the whole, however, they are of a better class than those presented at the last election.

Read the resolution of the real Union whigs of Rochester. Resolved, That we are alike surprised and mortified to learn that a whig Semator from this State should improve the opperveailty afforded by the trials growing out of the Byracure riot, to walk into the United States Coart, and invite the ricters to form a procession to march to his own bouse, and partake of collation ; thus ene oui rebellion, and heroizing men whose course of conduct would lead to amarcby, and an end to all goverament. This is from a seetion of the “tate where abo- lition is indigenous. A rich soil is always prolific of weeds. It is at Rochester where the crazy fanaties of the North, of all stripes and colors, next to Syracuse, have been in the habit of celebrating their lunatic and diabolical orgios. Rochester that the Millerites held their saturnalia, some years ogo, in that big tent. It war Rochester | that brought to light the spiritual rappings of the Fish and Fox girls. Morgan, the un- fortunate mason, was last seen, we believe, tomowhere in the outskirts of Rochester, and there the anti-masonic humbug of Seward and company Was most successfully used to gull the dear people to the designs of political demagogues Sam Patch took his last leap st Rochester. Fred Douglass publishes the official organ of Gerri‘ Smith and the liberty party at Kochester; and yet in spite ef all these drawbacks, on tne very heels of the election, the real conservative compromise whigsoi Rochester meet in council and pass the fore- going resolution of condemnation against Wm. H Seward, the ringleader of the nullifers, and the champion of the abolition traitors from Dan to Beersheba. ‘The caso is simply this. Seward retarns from his abored, but unsuccessful, defence of the infamous Michigan railroad conspirators, to the rescue of the doaders of the mob atthe late riot at Syracuse, which resulted in the successful re-captuso and | escape of @ fugitive slave, after having been, by due process of law, returned to bis master. The Sewaré becomes thelr surety, acd oa (hem, together with a detachgent of “ym pathiaing Kloomers—pocr misguided ereatures—to 4 collation at his house.

H. the peace, of whom | thing be done ? | The Sandwich Islands=Important Rumor —What Says the Administration } We have been informed upon high authority that | a treaty, from his Majesty, Kamehameha the Se- — cond, King of the Sandwich Islands, proposing the annexation of those islands to the United States, has been transmitted to the government at Wash- ington, and is now among the files of the State De- | partment. | Some two months ago we received information | to the effect, that in consequence of the late | threatening attitude of France towards the sove- | reignty of these islands, the question of placing | them under the supreme protection of the United | States had been mooted, and that the people were | decidedly in favor of the scheme, which, we have no | doubt, is the fact. And if, before this, or subso- | quently, the King and his cabinet have made out | their protocol, and transmitted it to Washington, and if the document is nowon file in the Department of State, it becomes important to know what Mr. Webster thinks of it—what disposition he has made or intends to make of it, and what answer he has given or intends to give to the overtures of annoxa- tion from his Majesty, King Kamehameha, of the Sandwich Islands. ‘The commercial importanse of these islands can hardly be over-estimated. Invaluable as is the island of Cuba, from its maritime and commercial position, its fine elimate, prolific soil, and rich pro- ductions—invaluable as it would be to the United States for the defence and command of the Gulf, and as the commercial depot of our trade across the Gulf, its value, looking to the future, is secondary in importance to the Sandwich Islands. What are | they? A group of eleven small islands, altogether | covering a territorial area less than Massachusetts, | and one half of them occupied by voleances. They | owe their origin to volcanic action, aided by that industrious little island builder, the coral insect. | From their limited surface, they can never sustain | a large population; but their position is everything. | Honolulu, the chief port, is the half-way harbor of the Pacific Ocean. Scarcely a ship, national or commercial, passing to the northern whaling ground, or returning; or passing across to Asia from any point of the long extended coast of the Pac fic, from Bhering’s Straite.down to Cape Horn; or passing be- | tween any of the Atlantic ports of North and South | America, and China—scarcely a ship in all this vast amount of trade and navigation that does not stop | at Honolulu for fresh water and supplies. ‘There | is scarcely a sailor who has crossed the Pacific | Ocean that has not put in to this royal harbor of | King Kamehameha. The commervial statistics of | these islands, in proportion to population, abun. | dantly prove that in a commercial view their value | is inestimable to the Pacific trade. But ifthe value of these islands to the comme:ce of the Pacific Ocean is now so groat, what must it be ten years hence, whon regular lines of steamers — will be running from San Francisco and Panama, across to China? What may we not expect from that island continent Australia, should its gold mines turn out as rich and extensive as the first re- ports indicate ! Will she not require several lines of steamers to the ports of the Pacific, aad will they not be there as soon as trade and travel shall demand them ! They will. It is impossible, then, to put too high an estimate on the value of the | Sandwich Islands as a half way house of commerce | in times of peace, and as a commanding military station in the Pacific in times of war. The sove- reignty over them, if possessed by the United States, would supply a very essential desideratum to the commercial supremacy of the Pacific—a half way station for supplies of fresh vegetables, fresh water, fresh meats, fish, and the indispensable article to steamers, ofa ready supply of coal. In fact, it is difficult to contemplate the extension of our Pacific commerce, disconnected with the sove- reign occupation of the Sandwich Islands. This brings us in a round turn to the original proposition. Has the government of King Kame- bameba transmitted overtures to the government at Washington, for the annexation of this cluster of beautiful islands to the United States? Are not such documents now on file in the State Department, lettered, numbered, and endorsed, and poked away into some obscure pigeon hole, covered over with dust and cobwebs! If they are there, will not Mr. ‘Webster submit them, through the President, to the consideration of Congress! Js he not in favor of bameha to this great country, whose increasing commerce #0 much requires such a cluster of islands out in the middle of the Pacific! Is he not in favor of erecting the beacon lightof oar free institutions in the midst of the great eat If not, why net? If the King has proposed, and the people are willing, what impediment remains to the act of annexation’—ibe mileage of the delegates to | Congress'—or the fear of foreign interference in | American affairs'- or a supposition that the consti- | tutioa wont work well so far away from Washington! We shall doubtless know tho truth upon this sub- ject, and get a great deal of useful information | upon various other international subjects, shortly after the meeting of Congress Are Treaties to be Observed t On the 1%hb of April, 1851, a treaty was signed between Great Britain and the United States, which wes subsequently ratified and proclaimed on the | Sth of July, ofthe same year. Article Grst of that treaty provided that Great Britain ‘‘ should never ccoupy, fortify, colonize, or assume or exercise any | dominion over Nicaragua, Costa Kica, the Mos- | | quite coast, or amy part of Central America,” or | make ase of any relations which it has or way have “with a State or people for the | urpose of erecting or maintaining any fortifications, or of oc- | cupying, orcolonizing, or assuming, or exercising any dominion” over the countrics aforesaid. Yet, in spite of the explicit terme of that troaty, | the has, and docs occupy the important port of San Juan de Nicaragua, and ‘‘exereires dominion” over it.

Forney, who was a de- feated candidate for the clerkship of the House of Representatives in the last Congress, in order to better his cause for the next Congress, recently made a strong democratic speech at the democratic ratifi- cation meeting in Tammany Hall. It was reported in our columns, as usual; and the first intimation we had of its accuracy being denied, was in some | Southern papers commenting upon. it. After mak- ing a search for the number of the Pennsylvanian | containing Mr. Forney’s disclaimer, we at length found it. The article is as follows:— ¢ Penn sylvanian } sketch of remarks at Taw- Pennsylvanian, of the reports of ever lived in preference to the best whig. There were other mistakes; but these are the more important, bastem to correct them, sy J. wr It is curious enough that Mr. Forney, though in this city during the entire day on which his speech appeared in the Heratp, did not apply to have the alleged misreport, on the important points to which he adverts, corrected in this journal; nor does it appear that he made any correction of them in the National Democrat, whose report is substantially | the same as our own. This will beseen by the sub- joined, which we extract from both papers:— Heaven teaches us to forgive our whig eremies, The: | bave done us harm; but they have also done us gs and we would be the veriest fools if we did not protit by the past. Taught by eaperience, you will triumph on the pla form on which Bigler has triuinpned in Pennsylvania, Foote n Mississippi, and Cobb in Georgia. The democrats of those States are worthy of your imitation on the 4th of November.** The ticket is ‘eutitled to all your confidence, to that of the democrats who adhere to th cient useges, a8 « sort of religion.

The whigs have dose harm, and they will hurt us still more if we let them; but my illus- trativa will serve as an admonition to beware of them. The experience of the past will teach us to be united ia the geod cause; ail wrangling, all disconnection must cease. We must stand together on the broad platform which varsed Bigler to the Executive Chair in Pennsylvania, and secured the victory to Foote in Mississippi, and Cobb in Georgia. Tmutate them on the epproaching fourth of Novem- ber; imitate the brother fight which we closed on ihe jourteenth of October. in Pennsylvania, and you, like us, will be suc- cessful. Well may it be easy for demagogues like Se. ward and Jobnson, to triumph, when democrats are ar- rayed sgainst democrats; but let them be united, and their most convulsive efforts will not save them from de- feat. The democratic standard will no longer be trailed in the dust; proudly will it be raised for millions of our fellow citizens to follow. Ycu have brought your forces together in the nomination of # State ticket—you hare gloriourly sustained it in your ratitication meeting. Pro- ceed as you have commenced, and victory cannot fail. * * Support the ticket you have chosen—it is worthy of it; and let me tell you strike a single name from his ticket,for it is better to vote for the worst democrat than for the best whig —(Appleuse ee Notional Democrat. The foregoing reports differ somewhat in lan- guage, and they are more or less full in particular places; but their agreement on the two points on which Mr. Forney impugns the Heracp, is very remarkable, and must convince every one who reads them of the correctness of both as to the points in quest It is worthy of note that the Democrat inserts “applause” after the words “it is better to yote for the worst democrat than for the best whig,” showing that the sentiment was not only uttered, but was received with approbation in Tammany Hall. The testimony of the Nutional Democrat—the local organ of the party—is sufficient to convict Mr. Forney of falsehood. The whole tenor of bis speech convicts him. The following inssrip- tion, copied from a transparency at the meeting, both into the Hexavp and the Democrat, is strong cor- roborative ev.dence to convict him, inasmuch as it indicates the platform of the meeting, and the tone of the speeches:— 26 8AROAL EAAEOEAAN ARES ERE ONES COE ORRET RENE CARE TUE UNION AND CONSTITUTION: q LEMOCRACY TRIUMPHANT ; GEORGIA, OUIO, AND PENNSYLVANIA!

Our reporters, who belong to bo party, could not have any object to rerve in m's- representing Mr. Forney orany other man. Several contemptible politicians of the school of Forney, have, from time to time, attempted to back out of their speeches, when they found, upon sober reflection, or from the suggestions of their friends, thet they had committed themselves; but we have invariably nailed them, as we nail Forney tow, down to the counter as base coin. A man who could, ia the face of an assem- bled multitude, and in the presence of the re- porters of the press, make & statement which, in three Gays after, he solemnly and formally denies, in his own paper, over his initials, is utterly unfit for any public office, much lese for the important one of Clerk of the Ilouse of Representatives, which requires a man of unquestionable veracity and in- | tegrity, in order to secure a reliable record of the procecdings. To that office is attached a salary of £5,000, besides the patronage of the appointment of some sixteen or twenty clerks. The object of Mr. Forney in swallowing bir own words, is very plain. While he wanted to get all the credit of being a thorough going democrat among bis party bere, be afterwards he had committed a blua- der, and felt the necessity of conciliating the Southern whigs and the secessionist democrats, who, be knew, would be down upon him “like a thousand of brick” for his boasting of the victory of the Union democrats over them. Bat it would have argued a sounder discretion to have con- eidered the escapade in tho first instance, instead of making our reporter the seape-goat for his impru- dence.

This is the first election of Judges under arecent amendment of | the constitution of Pennsylvania. The Supreme Court Judges are elected for a term of fifteen years, and the District Judges for ten years. We have mentioned the cause of the defeat of Judge Campbell, on the democratic State ticket forthe Swpreme Court Bench, namely—that ap- peals being made in his favor, by his friends, on the ground of his being a Catholic, the ultra-Protes- tant interest among the democrats, in Philadelphia, and a few other counties, wae rallied against him; in consequence of which he ost about 9,000 votes, part of which were transferred to Judge Coulter, on the whig ticket, who, by that means, was elect- ed. Some of the democratic papers, observe, charge upon Mr. Cameron, late U. S. Senator, and President of a bank at Middletown, Dauphin coun” ty, the fact of his being concerned in the intrigue to | defeat Judge Campbell. Tho latter, it seems, was | the favorite of Mr. Buchanan; and Mr. Cameron, | who is opposedto Mr. B., it is alleged, took that | means to shew that Buchanan cannot command the | vote of Pennsylvania for the Presidency. It is also charged that Cameron caused the defeat of the democratic candidate for Senator in the Dauphin district; by wkich the democrats have lost the con- trol of the Legislature; and thus, as one of the pa- pers expresses it, the party have only achieved a barren victory by the late election. This result has caused great indignation among the democrats of Pennsylvania, and Mr. Cameron and his allies are denounced by the friends of Mr. Buchanan, in all quarters, as “troacherous aud trafficking politicians.” We should mention, also» | that, under the influence of Cameron, a democratic county ticket was nominated in Lancaster county, by the friends of C; and received, at the late election, abeut 4,000 of the 6,000 votes polled by the democratic party in that ccunty. These ma- neeavres have, doubtless, been made for the pur- pose of weakening the influence of the election on the prospects of Mr. Buchanan. But there can be no doubt that be will receive the support of Penn- sylvania as a candidate for President, in the demo- cratic national convention, next spring. We take the present opportunity to correct a very commen error, in the impression that the democra- tic strength in Pennsylvania lics principally in the German counties, eo called. This is not the fact, as is chown by the late aud former elections. The German counties proper are Adams, Blair, Hant- caeter, Lebanon, Lehigh, Montgomery, North- awpton, Union, Somerset, and York. The vote in theee counties, ds -—For Bigler (dem.), 52,695; for Jobnston (whig), 55,045—showing # whig majo- rity of 2,850. in contrast with these, we may compare the vote of the counties which were principally settled by people of New England origin, viz: Bradford, Erie, Crawford, Luzerne, McKean, Potter, Pike, Susque- banna, Sullivan, Tioga, Warren, Wayne, and Wyoming. These counties, notwithstanding the large gain for Johnston, on account of the free soil infuence in bis favor, gave a democratic majority of 3,807—viz: Bigler, 25,595; Johnston, 21,788. The other counties of the State, in which there was an aggregate democratic majority, are of a mixed cha- racter as tc population. More DonaLpson CorresronpeNce—Mnr. SHank- tano’s Lerrer—Firty Doutars Rewarn —We publish, to-day, Mr. Shankland’s letter, in ex- planation of his late conversation with Judge Doug- ae on the Donaldeon correspondense. It is rather a curious document. Mr. Shankland is a Houston man, and has a great deal of confidence in the abi- lity of the General to manage the ropes. We,also, had a great respect for Old San Jacinto, till several free soil and abolition papers in the North, including the New York Swn, took him up as their champion for 1852. This excited our suspicions that there was some Plainfield or Havre de Grace speculation on foot, and that some Charley Wood Was at the bottom of the scheme. We now offer fifty dollars reward, onthe broken banks of New Jersey and Maryland, for the discovery and identi- fication of either Charley Wood or Mr. Donaldson, dead or alive. | Barnum ap Lota Montez —The Fire Annibila- tor has made an experiment. He published yoster- | day, in several of the daily journals, a curious affida- vit concerning the Lola Montez negotiation, which was pretty fierce and pretty savage. We shall cool the Fire Annihilator in aday or two. We think we | shall be able to completely annihilate the fire anni- hilator, in this instance. The Italian Opera, ragement of Maretzvk. The house presented a splendid array of beauty and teshion, the ladies being, for the most part, magnificently dreesed. Not only was every seat filled, Lut every etanding place in the passages was cecupied. We have never seen the bouse more densely crowded upon any occasion. The opera was the deeply tregic one of “ Norma,” which, when well performed, Dever faile to interest the spectator — so exqui- itely beautiful Is the music, and 60 thrilling is the tale, when rung as the poet and the composer de- signed it should be. The réle of the daughter of the Arch- Druid was sung by the well-knewn favorite, Bteffanone, whe is one of the very best living delineators of the cha- recter. On her first appearance on the stage, in the fourth scene of the firet act, she was received with great enthuriarm by the eudience.

Dr. Pise, Sidney place, Brooklyn. After high mass, Rev. Dr. Pise introduced the Apostle of Temperance to the congregation, He raid: “It fs with infinite delight I introduce to you Father Mathew. Hiv presence this day, I regard ae a very high honor conferred on this church, Here, before us, we have @ Christian philanthro. pista venerated minister of the Catholic religion, Hig’ name is known to the church, and beloved in every quar- ter of the civilized world By birth and family, he wag. entitled to the highest position among the nobility of hig native land; but, like # true apostle, he devoted him~ telf to the service of his fellow men, and the rescue of the’ poor and distreseed from their misery. His whole life has been spent in the works of benevolence and charity, —firet in Europe, and lastly in this our own great and glo- rious country, where he has raised his pure and spotless banner of temperance, around which thousands and thousands of freemen have voluntarily rallied. His ca- reef bas been a march of trium ¢ triumph of hu- manity and religion. He is now ring under a hoarse- ness, but he will nevertheless addrese you.” Rey. Mr. Mathew then took his text from Habbakuk, 4i,,.20, as follows :—* The Lord is in his holy temple ; let all the earth keep silence before Him ” ‘The reverend geutleman then adverted to the temple of Solomon, w! splendor was so great, aad showed that this was but a type of ee temples sad the altars of istian religion ; and he argued that tem of Bolemon was guarded with such strictness that onl the High Priest could enter once # year, and then with, the blood of the sacrifice on his hands, with what reve- rence and purity ought the Christian to enter the house of Ged, and approach the altar on which was offered, not the blood of goats and culves but of Christ himself! The only time that the meek Kedeemer ever showed indigna- tion. was at the defiling of his Father's teaple in Jeru- elem. How dreadful would be the wrath o: God at the defiling of the still holier temples of Christianity ! the sermon, the Apostie of Temperance proceeded After to administer the pledge, und called upon all who, heaven- jospired. had adopted the holy and salutary resolution. He briefly addrested them, and said: You make no vacri- fice by taking the pledge There is not a blessing that you cannot enjoy without strong drink. Almighty God instituted the firet temperance society in the garden of Eden. There were the pure rivers of r, bus there ‘was no intoxicating drink whatever in Parcdise, It does not eonduce to human happiness. mighty God, his prophets and servants, at Various’ times, and in divers manners, bas condemned the use, or rather the abuse, of intoxicating liquors. Ile estab- lished the society cf the Na: one ef whose principles was to take uo strong drink froa their very rth upwarde; and the Kechabites, of whom he said ‘there rball never be wanting a man to stand before me of the house of Rechab for everlasting ” Now, repeat the words of the pledge after me. You shall never regret it, You will only lay the foundation of your owa happiness, for no man cam ever prosper, in this great republic, who is nota temperance man; and I say to little cllidren, come upto me.

Tintreat you, parents and guerdians, to juduce your children to come forward. If they will take the pledge now, they will never bring a blush te your face The Rey gentleman then gave the words of the pledge. Those who took it, repeated it after him, as tol- lows :—“I promise, with the Divine assis @. to abstain from all intoxicating liquors, including ail lials. cider apd malt liquors, and to prevent, as much as possible, by advice and example intemperance in others.
