If, indeed. the contract for carry- jug the mails across the Isthmus, and the entire charge ef them, were in the hands of Americans, instead of this "poco trempo” government, and there should be no @etention et Chagres, which there probably will not be, the mails cowld be easily landed in New York on the ‘Mtb inet, but as it is, we have mo doubt that the energy and efficiency of Mr. Whitney, the mail agent, will push them through, no as to get them there in- side cf twenty eight days! It is generally understood bere that the United States government has entered imte « new bargain with the New Granadian government, by. which the latter yields up its original contract for the transportation of the United States mails across the ‘Istimmus, and that « contract has beem formed for that parpose between the United States and the Panama Rail. road Company. It is also stated bere this morning, that the railroed company has received instructions from the Postmaster General to commence the transportation of the mails under the terms of the new contract on and after the first of next month. Mr. Jobn L.

The Cherokee arrived last night from Chagres, bringing | news in twonty-eight days from San Francisco. This time has been equalled but once before—name- ly, over the Nicaragua route. We have the pro- mise that in future, the railroad completed, the trips by the Panama route will always be made in- side of thirty days. The news from California is splendid. Two millions and a quarter ef dollars, im gold dust, came in the Cherokee. The sccounts from the mines are highly favorable, and the San Franciseo Herald es- timates the annual product of the mines at seventy millions of dollars! Australia, with her golden area a of @ thousand miles, can hardly eclipse this: The convention for the division of the State, was in seesion at San Francisco. Its proceedings were, | of course, important. We give the resolutions | adopted. ‘Tke advices from Panama, as detailed in our | corrcepondent’s letter, are interesting.

It is a melancholy consideration that a charitable object—an object in itself laudable and good, and that deserves the sympathy of every liberal and en- lightened mind—could not be preseated to the American people, without being made ‘‘a stumbling block and a rock of offence” —an eccasion for the effusion of the rankest bigotry, and the promulga- tion of priaciples of civil and religious despotism, at variance with all charity, human kindness, and the | spirit of Christianity itself—at utter enmity with the genius ef our laws and institutions, and caleu- lated seriously to damage the goed oause with which such sectarian bitterness is so foolishly and maliciously mixed up. We have already adverted to the speech of Arsh- bishop Hughes, at the recent meeting held in favor of the Catholic university for Ireland. We had ad- | vooated this charity in the teeth of the Journal of Commerct, and all other bigots of that ilk; but we have been compelled to condemn the imprudoace and intolerance of the mode of advocacy which the Arch- When a man finds he has been pursuing a career of folly, his wise and only safe course is to retrace hi: of this, Dr. Hughes goes ahead, and his organ out- strips even his rapid steps on the ro: tion.

Now let us see what de ion of doetrines are proclaimed in the very same article. ‘Ihe soribe of the Arshbishop writes as follows «We will, therefore, most aseurediy contiaus to spoak as in time past, cf lawiess anarehy both in America and in Burcpe.

Archbishop Hughes, in his organ, following up the position he took in his speech, lauds Austrian despotimm a3 a great Christian empire, and ‘‘ declares the heartiness of his sympathy and of his admiration for the go vernment of such an empire.” He calls ite strug” gle to trample the life out of poor bleeding Hun gary, ‘a noble” struggle. This comes with beau tifal consistency from his Grace, who gave his countenance to the revolutionary movement in Ire- land in 1848, and actually subscribed $500 to “ pur- | chase a shield” for that ceuntry, on the eve of the “ battle of Slievegammon.” A3 we showedina recent article, the cases of Ireland and Hungary were exactly parallel. Both struggled for national existence, with this difference—that Hungary bravely fought, Ireland did not. What change has come over the spirit of the Archbishop’s dream, that the active sympathiser with revolution in 1848, is its most vehement denouncer in 1851? Principles do not alter by time. What was sound doctrine three years ago is sound doctrine now. Why does Archbishop Hughes, even at the present moment, praise William Smith O’Brien and Thomas Francis Meagher for their abor” tive attempt to throw off the yoke of England, while he condemns Kossuth for his almost successful and heroic etruggle to free his nation from the chains of Austria? Why is the absolute despotism of Austria se lauded by his organ, while the limited and constitutional monarchy of Great Britain is condemned by himself—a government under which, with all its faults, there is more of liberty enjoyed than anywhere else in the world, save Switzerland and the United States?) Why is this, and why, we | repeat, is the great Hungarian apostle of freedom denounced? Perhaps the key to the solution of the mystery may be found in the fact that ‘ Kos- suth teok a fling at the Jesuits,” who have been always opposed to the progress of liberty and po- itical reform, while the Irish leaders ‘* kept a sivil tongue in their mouths,” and said nothing about the influence used by such churchmen as Arch- | bishop Hughes, to defeat the meditated blow for Postaex on Newsrarsns—TuE Mernorourran anp TEE Runat Paxes.—In Friday’s number of the Journal, a curious article appears on news- paper postage, in which the writer, in opposing the uniform and nominal rate of newspaper postage the Union, adopted at the recent meet- this city, takes the opportunity of per- the following blunder:— fo facilities for a a means of fo @ liberal and it This is good. The metropolitan presses have more facilities for getting news, and they will get it sooner than the rural papers, and news being facts, ‘and facts being the foundation ef all opinion théf is worth apything, yet the country presses are the best means of forming a right opinion upon public and political matters—in other words, ignerance is the source of knowledge, and the true way of ar- riving at just conclusions. Such is the logic of the Albany bull. Who are the editors of the rural presses? The majority of them are men of little er no education— they are distance from the centres of news—the events which go to make up opinion. They depend mainly upon the metropolitan papers to bring them the first information about facts. But when the facts come, they are toe busily engaged in printing them in @ curtailed and unsatisfactory shape in their own little sheets, to have leisure to form or to express # correct opinion upon them. They are for the most part the printer, clerk, salesman, editor and reporter, (whenever there is any attempt at reporting, which is very seldom)—in fact they are the fac totum of the whole concern, and to look for the expression of liberal and independent public opinion from them, would be like looking for breeches from a Scottish highlandman—it would be most unreasona- REWS BY TELEGRAPH: eee Distressing News from the Far West.

They are very good artisans—they have received the ordinary education of the common schools—they reproduce the news and the opinions of the metropo- litan press, after they become somewhat stale, but to ask from them anything more, is simply requiring impossibilities. Even if they were highly educated men, had minds disciplined to reasoning, and had abundant Jeisure to study passing events, they have notthe opportunity to know them till it is too late, and they never can have all the facts before them at once, like metropolitan editors, to whom the tele- graph “annihilates time and space,” and gives them asert of omnipresence throughout the length and breadth of the land. The papers of this metropo- lis are, therefore, not only the best vehicles for news, but their advantages are such that they have the best means of forming and expressing a correct public opinion.

The hande were saved, Lovuviie, Ky., November 22, 1851. ‘The steamer Moll y Grath, bound fer Florence, recently came into collision with the steamer Pontiac, near- Owensburg, and sunk. No lives were lost. The boat will be raised, but the cargo is lost. Fatal Railroad Accident. Haaaisevne, Nov. 29.

They appear of our institutions. {[t was not for red republican- ism Kossuth struggled, but for the independence» the existence of his nation. The imputation is berefore a weak invention of an enemy of human freedom. But let Archbishop Hughes and his organ be" ware. They are driving a course that may make not only themselves, but the Catholic religion, stink in the nostrils ofthe American people. We trust, however, that proper discrimination will be made; and that the innocent will not be confounded with the guilty. We are happy to know that the intolerant principles of the Freeman's Journal are not the sentiments of the great bulk of the mem- bers of the Catholic Church in thiscountry, whether jay or eccletiastical; and from the very best tources of information, we learn that the speech | of hie Grace, and the writings of his Grace’s organ» are heartily condemned by thousands of our iatelli- gent Catholic fellow-citizens. But they ought to evince the manliness, the independence, andthe mo- ral courage to come forward and publicly disavow the vile, illiberal, and absurd doctrines prepounded by men and organs, who presume to misrepresent them. Some movement of this kind is imperatively demanded by the sense of duty which Catholiosowe to themselves, their religion, and their country. Two Mong Men Sentence to Deatu.—Two more men, convicted of the crime of murder, were Jesterdsy sentenced to be executed in this city. From this time, till the Sheriff performs his duty, these criminals, found guilty of taking life, will be objects of commiseration and pity, to a certain class of sympathizers, and preparations will be made to send them to Heaven at railroad speed. Indeed, if we are to believe the evidence that is given, and the sermons that are prepared, concerning such matters, to commit murder, and then be sorry for it, isa sure passport to the regiens of eternal bliss Every murderer is looked upon now-a-days, as a hero, and when he stands under the gallows, with the fatal noose around his neck, he is considered a martyr toa barbarous law. We have had enough of such maudlin sentimentality, and we hope a stop will be put to it. Lvery man in the commanity knows the penalty for murder, and it reste with himself whether he will incur it or not. If in de fiance of the law, and of conscience, and morality, he tskes human life, he has no ground of complaint, if his is demanded as an atonement. The matter is entirely within his own control. Civil government is nothing but a contract, with penalties for break- ing it, and those who break it should not complain f they are forced to pay the penalty Tux Comtna ov Kossvura.—Before the ead of the present week, the advent of Kossuth may be looked for as a matter almost of certainty. There if the great prestige of his name and character, his burning elo- quence, and his impressive presence, have produced such extraordinary effects upon the rather sluggish temperament of John Bull, what will be the result here, where the people are more easily moved, and @ far stronger with the hero of Hungary and hiscause! It is caloulated that the military procession alone, which is to honor his coming, will extend to several miles. Everything else will be in keeping, and on the same large | The demonstrations will be kept up for, at leact, a fortnight, in New York, during which time the city will ring with the oratory of the modern Demosthenes, and it will be borne on the wings of the prees to the most distant parts of the Union, and to the very ends ofthe earth. Kossuth will carry all before him, and his victorious march through the United States qill be more like that ofa Koman conqueror, to whom the Senate haj decreed a triumph, than the movement of the ran uished leader of a crushed revolution ust , mow fell to the depth of hfieon determined upon nothing but puffing themselves into notoriety, and looking after the next Presi- dency. Even the principles of the Halsemann letter are abandoned, they having effected, as it was sup. posed, the purpose for which they wore first pro- pounded. It is to be hoped that Congress will act in sueh a manner towards the illustrious Mag yar, as will reflect honor on the mation, and cheer the hearts of the patriots and republicans of tae Uld World.
