Now, how is this great duty ofresisting the tide of North- ern treason and bloody fanaticism to be accom- plished? Here we enter directly upon the merits of the case. ‘The attitude of the two great parties vf the North, upon the slavery question, is sufficiently defined to be read, with or without spectacles. The whigs, as | far as they have spoken in their State conventions, adhere to their affinities with Seward and free soil, and tne dictates of his higher law. The democrats, excepting their abominable coalition in Massachu- setts with the abolitionists, and the old crazy nulli- fiers in petticoats of the Woman’s Rights Conven- vention, and with the exception of a considerable tincture of Van Burenism in New York, oocupy, on the other hand, a satisfactory position. Openly en- dorsing the Fugitive Slave law, they have tri- umphed in Pennsylvania, against all the popularity of General Scott, Governor Johnston, and a protes- tive tariff, so strong isthe Union sentiment in that State. The whigs, resting upon the name and fame of General Scott, have been even more sig- nally defeated in Ohio. Indiana and Michigan have pronounced, with an equal emphasis, in favor of the adjustment as it stands—just as it stands, and in favor of the democrats for sustaining it. In a word, the general tone of the democratic party of the North is healthy, conservative, and consis- tent. So far, very well. What follows? In looking for an alliance in the North against the abolition agitators, the Southern Union men have natarally turned their attention to the de- =Twe Srirrine—Txx BAiLoR's Gooxs Srom Tux Brora.

Summary of this Morning’s News. ‘The mails by the steamship Asia were received here last evening, and we devote @ considerable portion of our space to the details of the news. Koseuth was as popular as ever in England, at the laet accounts from there. He delivered four ad- ditional speeches at different places, which were as eloquent and as interesting as any of his previous efforts. Im @ speech delivered at Manchester, he oppoeed socialism, on the ground that no euch in- stitution was needed in Hungary, where the people generally are Jand owners. We cannot find room, to-day, for all of theze speeches, but we give | the most important of them, viz., one made by him in birmingham. A jary was yesterday procured in the United States Circuit Court of Philadelphia, before whom Castner Hanwey is to be tried on an indictment for treason—he having participated in the riot at Christiana, where the government officers were foreibly frustrated in their endeavors to capture | fugitive slaves, and Mr. Gorsuch, the owner of | some of the negroes, was killed.

The experiment bas had its day. The Union whigs of New York and the North will soon be re to show their hands. We end that the Sewsr* intereat will dictate the ereed and thew’ 44 ofthe Northern whig party—we look forit. And now we come to the pinch. Will the friends of Mr. Web- ster act upon the plan of Mr. Toombs, in organizing an independent national Union ticket for 1852, or _ will they surrender to the strength of the nullifiers? ‘There isno visible prospect of the nomi- nation of Mr. Webster by the whig national conven- | tion—none in the world. Suppose Gen. Scott is no- minated upon a non-committal platform, what will Mr. Webster and his Northern friends do? They must ¢urrender, or organize an independent Union party. With the aid of the Union party of the South, there is a possible chance for Mr. Webster; without it, he is nowhere. In a word, there is no prospect of a junction between the Northern and Southern whigs. Sewardism will rule the party in the North and in the National Convention, if they have one. Where will Mr. Webster go? His friends in Bos- ton had better open at once a correspondence with | Mr. Toombs and other Union whigs, North and South, for the organization of a great national Union party, independent of Philadelphia and Bal- timore, and of Seward and Van Buren. Webster and Cobb might do something on that Union ticket. The whigs cannot nominate Webster—the demo- crats will certainly not. His only chance is to close in with the plan of Mr. Toombs. It may come to that yet. Who knows? It is something to run for the Presidency, and that ticket will at least give him a run—probably a good run—pessibly a suc- cessful run. Who knows? Brethren, let us join in prayer ard thanksgiving. Twe Posiic Pawtine—A Printine Bureau or GovernmEN1.—The time appointed for the com- mencement of the first session of the Thirty-second Congress is close at hand—it is but three or four days distant. Many of the members of the Senate and ot the House of Representatives are on the spot, preparing themselves for the business of the session, or laying plans of political intrigue with roference to the next Presidency. There is a vast deal of business awaiting action, some ef which requires immediate attention; but very little will be done until after the holidays. The steam will not be properly up, nor the congres- sional locomotive be fairly in motion, until after New Year’s day. All the preliminary business— such as the election of officers, &c.—will be disposed of before then. As this will be the long session, members will probably devote a good deal of time to the discussion of the merits of the several candi- dates, and select none but thore whose appointment will most subserve the interests and purposes of the majority. The subject of the public printing will, as usual, be the subject of intrigue, corruption, and jugglery, of all kinds. The developements that have been made during the last few years, exhibit euch gross corruption, such a wanton waste of money, and such disregard of the public interests, in relation to the printing of Congress, as to call for re- form. Thousands and hundreds of thousands of dollars have been given to party organs, and other- wise wasted in the public printing. The con- tract system jhas been tried, but it failed. That, too, was tainted by corruption. Bids were made and accepted at prices which would not pay. The contractors, after failing to perform the work, threw themselves on the mercy of Congress, and asked re- muneration.

The government ought to have a printing bureau of its own. It ought te be independent of all outsiders, and all contractors, and all influences, in its printing. It saa some two days since, in this city, for the purpose of advancing the canes of postage reform. It was he!2 at the ™ orchante’ Exchange, in Wall street, under the auspices of Barnabas Bates; but none of the per- sons who took a part in it know what they were about. As for Mr. Bates himself, he evidently doos not know the A B C of postage reform, when he con- | fines the reform to a change inthe rate of postage fora certain class of newspapers. ‘The proceedings of that meeting, no doubt, at- tracted the attention and the puffery of certain journals; but the speakers did not take a compre- hensive view of the subject. The Post Office De- partment of the government was established for something more than the convenience of newspapers of @ particular class, or for that of a certain section of the country. It was organized for the convenience and interests of the whole country—political, agricultural, social, and lite- rary. The great difficulty is, that those who assume to be reformers in this matter, de not know what they are about. They exhibit great ignorance of the details, of the arrangements, the internal mechanism, and everything else con- nected with the Post Office Department. They begin at the wrong end; and havealways done so. They start on the principle of redusing the rates of postage on letters and newspapers, and there they stop. Thisis net the point to commence with. They ought to begin at the other end, and reform the internal arrangements of the post office system the want of econemy inits management, and the profuse waste of money that now characterizes the mode of transporting the mails throughout the country. It is estimated by persons acquainted with the subject, and competent to form au opinion, that a million of dollars might be saved annually by the government, in this department, under a different and more economical management of the Post Office Department. If such reforms as these were successfully carried out, not by the ‘present ignorant Postmaster, but by men of business, and not politicians, there would be some propriety in talking about reducing the rates of postage on letters and newspapers, to alow and uniform standard. The ignorance displayed at the recent meeting in the Exchange, is melan- chely. None butmen equal to the task can effest the reforms so much needed in our postal system. Mont in New Yorx.—The experience of the past year proves most conclusively that a mint should be established in New York as goon as possible. We hope Congress will take up the subject at an early day, not in a sectional sense, as was the case at the last session, but on national grounds simply. ‘They ought totake up the question as an original one, without reference to localities or the blunders and errors that have been committed in the matter of establishing mints, and inquire, “ Where should mints be erected ?” Look ever the whole republic—North, East, South and West—and it will be seen in a moment that San Fran- cisco and New York are the only two places for mints—the fermer being the place from which all the gold comes, and the latter being the point where two-thirds of it is reeeived, and whence it is put in circulation throughout the whole civilized world, to pay the differences and baiances ia trade and exchanges. These are the only two points at which mints should be erected. There would be nv nesessity for them any where else—in Philadelphia, North Carolina, or New Orleans, or elsewhere. It would be absurd, and contrary to all common sense, to have mints in those places in preference to New York and San Francisco. We trust Congress will take up this subject at an early period of the session, and act favorably upon it. We hope they will take a common sense view of it, and not discuss it in @ sectional mauner or in a sectional epirit, as was the case last session. If they do ro, they will at once see the necessity of selling the mints in Philadelphia and elsewhere, ani establishing large and magnificent ones in the two should adopt the system of the French government, and which works so admirably in that country. It should publish an official paper like the Moniteur, containing all government papers, the views of the administration on public matters, foreign and do- mestic, full and accurate reports of the proceedings and debates of Congress, government advertise- ments, the news of the day, and such information as the administration wishes to communicate to the public. Itshould have its own editors, reporters, printers, type, presses, and other materials. Ina word, the government ought to have a complete and perfect printing establishment of its own; and until it possesses one, the public printing will not be done properly or satisfactorily. We therefore earnestly call upon Congress to take this matter into serious consideration. There is no earthly reason why we should not adopt the French system It operates beautifully in that country, and we are certain it would operate here aswell. Letthe Washington newspapers sink or ewim on thoir own merite. There is no reason why they shold be supported and bolstered up by the people's money. Joun Jacow Astor ax» Wasninoton Invixo — We publish in another part of to-day’s Hrnaun, @ curious letter written by Washington Irving, to correct some erroneous remarks which, it is said, have got into circulation respecting the generosity | of Jobn Jacob Astor towards novelists, during the life of the millionaire. Jobn Jacob Astor was an original, and so is Wash- ington Irving. The estimate which Mr. Irving puts on the character of Mr. Astor is, however, in our conception, not that of the world, and we be. lieve is no more cerrect than his novels are matters of sober facts. The whole character and career of John Jacob Astor prove, beyond the possi bility of doubt, that his greatest ambition was simply and purely to be the richest man in the United States; and it was confined to that alone. “ Mr. Astor,” said a stran- ger to him one day, ‘‘ Stephen Gerard, the richest man in America, has just died.” Not yet, mot yet,” replied Mr. Astor, meaning that he was the richest. John Jacob Astor's will contained the most curious commentary on his personal character that has yet been written, and affords a far more philosophical insight into it thanthe opinion of Mr. Irving. John Jacob Astor overloeked @ great many of his own relatives ; he appropriated a baga- | telle for & library, and renewed by his will the great purpose of continuing in his eldest son the idea which prevailed in his mind during life—that of the richest man in America. John Jacob Astor was like old Rothechild in his day, and possessed, like him, a species of greatness shared with Jews, and usurers, and money-lenders, from the time that Satan first entered Paradise until the present day. Washington Irving writes very good novela, very entertaining fictitious history, and interesting let- ters, but he is not able to write a correct critical or philosophical epitaph on human character. The treatment of John Jacob Astor to one of the most constant of his friends, and the sweetest of poets, was such as pever can redeem his memory in the eyes of the present or future generations. We mean his treatment of Fitz Greene Halleck Gavewn Piety —The Washington Union an- nounces to the world that Mr. W. W. Corcoran, | and tock every soul on board the great capitals, east and west, whete they are abso- yutely necessary, and where they would be of inf- nite service to commerce and to the country—Saa Franciseo and New York. Emicration.—Europe is pouring her surplus population upen our shores. Into the port of Now York alone, for the quarter ending the 30th cf September last, there arrived the aggregate of eighty-four thousand eight hundred and three imm’- grants, from foreign ports. This would give consi- derably over a quarter of a million » year for the single port of New York, and not less than four hundred thousand for the whole country. Ia ten years this influx will give a total increase to the population of four millions of souls, exclusive of their issue. This estimate, however, will proba- bly fall far short of the actual result. Emigration to the United States, from Europe, on @ large scale, is just beginning. Ireland, by this agency, ‘s in rapid precess of absolute depopulation. Ger- many ranks next in order; and, during the next five years, from the aspect of affairs upon the Continent, we may anticipate the peaceful in- vasion of thousands upon thousands, of al! the na tionalities, and races, and tribes, from the Elbe to the Don, and from the Seine to the Danube. And the best of it is, the great body of thesa emigranis become at once active producers of the wealth and resources ofthe country. Our railroads and cana’s are so many monuments of Irish and German it dustry. What is to be the effect of this continuous stream from Europe, upon all the various branches of home industry—what the effect in shaping out the fulure foreign policy of the government—be come the most interesting questions of philosophical inquiry. But wo bave room enough, and work enough, and bread enough, and happiness andjii- berty enough, to share them with the industrious that have come ormay come. Let them como. Neve Coxover at Sea—Patsexorns Resovro — ‘We learn from Captain Bowne, of the ship Star of the West, which arrived here yesterday, from Liverpool. and from Mr. Moore, mate of the same vessel, that while on their passage to this port, they fell in with thearig Har. riet, Captain Marston, of Portland. Maine, bound from Bordeaux to this port, on board of which were five huo- dred parsengers, who were rescued by the Harriet from the British ship Upicorm. The Ilarriet, observing a sig- pal of dirtress fying from the Unicorn, hove down to see what was the matter. The Captain of the Unicorn «rid his verse! was in a sinking condition, and begged aseist- arce.
