He defined how far the privileges j ol the pretsrhould bo upheld, and condemned the law which punishes tho publication of a police of- | fice report, whilst it permits the dissemination i though tho press of suits in higher courts eqaally | injurious to character. He spoke of the elested | judges, and the probability of their being involua- | tarily inflaenced by political prejudices in favor of the party that raised them to office. The counsel. in the course of his leoture, denounced, in s passing observation, the despotism of Louis Napoleon, in regard to the press. The beautifal lecture of Dr. Keno (late of the Grinnell expedition in the search for Sir John Franklin), on the wonders of the Arotic regions, and tho lecture of Professor Antirell, in this city, on will impart equal pleasure and inatruction in their perusal. ° The Preside ntlal Agitation. The question of the next Presidency is rapidly becoming the great disturbance of the day. The excitement and turmoil among the politicians of all partiez, particularly in the great central me Geology, both of which we publish in this paper, | the excitable appearance of things in the dem cratic ranks, ani that is, # complete alienation | among the various factions, eo that whatever may be the nomination at Baltimore, it will prodase tho same effect a8 the nomination of Unss did ia 1819; that is, there will bea general bolting from the | nemination of the convention, in conseqnanosof tha | hatreds, sniipethies, and antisipstions, of thediffr~ ent factions that murt be disappointed on that occasion. Such we believe is the most acanrate view that can be given, and the most correct dedactions that can be made, from the present position of the whig candidates on the one cide, end tha demonratis | candidates on the other, in respect to thetr no ni- rations and chancea atthe next Presidentialolsction. Lverything seems to be conspiring in favor of Gan. Scott as the whig candidate, backed and supported by the ebolition whig interest ef New York and the North,and concurred in by the journa’softhatstamp. Webster ard l’i!'more ecem not to have the slightest chance, notwithstanding all the little fuss made by the cflice qulcere in support of the one, and the learned 11iftorical Society, or the literary classes, in aid of the other. On the other hand, the violent contentions and pergoral rivalries among the doasn nagerie at Washington, aro beginning to develope some of the mort amusing and oddest features of human nature. Every public man and statesman of emixence, cats, drinks, moves, travels, emokes, and sleeps, with a viow to the nomination or elec tion. Both the old parties are alike agitated; and tho same agitation is beginning to exist among the anti slavery politicians of the North and the seces- sionists and unionists of the South. Frem evory appearance, too, it will be one of the hottest con- tests that over took place in this country. It will be a close contest, too, for each party is dotermined to bring out its wholo strength, and previous cleo- tions or results will hardly afford any accurate pre- diotions of the future. ‘The whig party and the whig candidates are very active. Mr. Fillmore, Mr. Webster, and Gen. Scott are stirring in every direction. The visit of Mr. Webster to this city—his great, learned, heavy, turgid, historical, philosophical speech in Niblo’s theatre, before tho respectable old gentlemen and old ladice ofthe Historical Society, is undoubtedly a part of the plan to help along the projected no- mination that is to be made of him, ss a candidate, next month. His public reception atthe City Hall is very likely with a view to the same purpose, and his appearance as Chairman at tho great Fonni- more oratorical festival of last evoning, is part of the same chowder dish. Al these movements are intexded by his political friends to swell the list of subscribers calling the popular meeting to nomi- nate him, end to increase the numbers attending it. They will, undoubtedly, call forth a considera- ble meeting on tho occasion, but we doubt very much whether it will givehim the least chance for & nomination in the “Slaughter-house Conven- tion.” Loven in this city, ag well as through tho Stete, the strongest section of the whig party— the abolition section—is as deeply and as eternally opposed to Mr. Webster az itis to Mr. Fillmore. His appoarauco here has stirred them up in every direction; sand we see that the abolition organs of the Seward section of the whig party—the Zimes and Zyibunc—are edging out overy other day, with a bitter sucer againss Mr. Webster, and a preparatory culogium of Gen. Scott’s patriotism, popularity and mighty friendliness for the natur- alized citizens—Irish, Germans, and all. But this is not all. The story resently told of General Scott, that he rejected millions offered him by the Mexicans to remain in their country and be their: President, is asserted to be correct, and pointed out aga mark of his purity and wonderfal patriotism, when hehad the chance to enact the character of Aaron Burr. We doubt whother Gon Scott deserves all the exclusive merit that is claimed for him, even on this ecore. Gen. Worth os promised prodigiourly by the Creoles of Cuba, i{ ho would make a descent upon that island. Gon. nitraan received similar promises; but all theso Generals—Seoit, Worth, and Quitman—had an linetive convistion that the American people wero (oo intelligent, and understood their righta too well, to tolerate with impunity any man, how- ever high, turning traitor to this country, or violat- ing the duties he owed to his native land. If avy General at the head of an American ar- my had abandoned his country to embrace tho propozal of Mexioo, he would have been swept, like the Coa before the whirlwind, by the i he intelligent people of this country. Soot, in refusing that proposition, did netbing moro than what the simplest private of his army would have dono under tho same circum- stances. Napoleons or Burrs are not indigenous plants in American vegetation. All these movementa of the gront men, and the declarations and indications of their organs, only | show that tho whig party is gradually eottling down onthe question ofthe next Presidency; and according to all appearaaces, General Scott stil has the v ge ground, and will have it in their party, even a higher dogree of sists in rolation to thenext Presidon- ct that they have largor number of can- and more internal competition among them- Of late, this agitation bas increased in Washington, and is fucreasing all over tho coun- try. The different factions, with their different andida almost produce as great a con- of the democrats as tho nomi- in 194 a Van Buren aad | ted ond defeated their own man. “ | me past, there has been a violent con- -enneylvania and other Sister, | and Buoha- | ded to coma ¢, to have quict pg, wil y, in ite aopivali b body of advor — fora, hoisted the Dame ‘o cnndidate. | flate, and mer than and exclu most vi ver.

They will, therefore, most likely follow the exam- ple set them by Van Burenin 1548, and fall back, either North or South, on the whig party or tho free soilers; and thus again the democrats would be defeated by their internal dissensions and individual ambition. Tho policy of the friends of Judge Doug- las, violent, headstrong and vindic'ive as it seems to be in all their organs and journals, and partica- larly in the Democratic Review, points to such a conzummation and to such a misfortune, in tho strongest shape possible, In fact, the White Douglas of this month, nowa prominent candidate of the democratic party, nay be, before the termi- nation of the year, moving side by side, and oporat- ing to produce the same result which tho black Douglas, ef Rochester, has been endeavoring to do for many months pest—that is to say, the polisy of the friends of Judge Douglas rcems to be the samo as that of the friend: of Van Baren in 1848; and the former may landin @ similar pcsition to thatin which we find the Sago of Lindenwald at the pre- sent dey. The chances of Goneral Scott andthe whigs seem, therefore, to bo improving, in consequence of the dissensions among the radios’, rabid, and rapa- cicus democracy. How lorg will it continue ? Tus Hony Auiance or Tremrerance—Tuz ANraGonisT ! ORCE IN IH¢ Fieu0.—In another part of this day’s paper will be found the report of the committee appointed by the Logislature to inquire into the Maine L'quor law, together witha bill founded upon and closcly resembling the remarkable progeny of Neal Dow. Simultaneously with these bperations at Albany, and the active exertions of the Holy Alliance in New York, and throvghout the State, the opposite party aro mareballing their forces, and will have a grand rally at Metropoliian Hall, to morrow evening, to “resist oppression and favaticism.” It will boa mass mecting “in favor of tho natural and ina- lienable rights of the citizen--the rights of pro- perty, and tho protection of tho commercial and manufacturing interests of our city.” And by the call the people of New York, irrespective of party, are calicd to join inthis counter demonstration-.- all who are opposed to the contemplated move- ment to disfranchiso the freemen of this State, destroy their business, ruin the commereial and manufacturing interests of our city, and drivo our trade to other States, by the passage of what ia called the Maine Liquer Jaw, or ono equaily ruin- ous to commercial and manufacturing froodom.”” The notice further says :— We call bi gi ail clases cf the community. as ere interested, to aid us in putting down this fana movement, that will net cply produce all the wrongs above elluded to, but will eurely retard the moral move- ment of temperance iteelf, and thus increase the yery evils it is intended to remedy. The call is signed by animmonsely long list of the merchants of this city; and it appears that these names are biita small part of the whole number that are attached to it. Already over 30,000 namoa have gone to Albany remonstrating against tho Maine law, or any similar Jaw; andsome 20,000 are ready to be cent of--making an array ofan army 0 50,000 who have taken the Geld on the opposite side. ‘Theso names include our most respectable citizens, engaged in all the avocations and professions of life—merchants, mechanics, manufacturers, phyal- ciana, lawyers, and these employedin various other | pursuile. It is stated, too, that a large number of temperance men hare joined tho movement against the Maino Liquor law, because thoy regard it as tyraprical, odious, and unconetitutional, and cal- culated to damago the cause of temperance. The meeting to-morrow evening will be a formidable demonstration. Thus tho array of a great pitched battle is fairly drawn out, and the conflict will be tremendous | between fanaticiem, piety, psychology, atheism, | | matters, out of which it is vory dificult to gath | the exact truth or facts of the businegs.

Qurrr Financial Cate—Winy & Hawkins, Pun Witt, anp Pueniy or Goip Dust.—During the lest ten day, the newspapers havo been fall co! queer financial developements, giving an account of a femous geld dust operator, commonly called Piin White, who bas vanished with an enormous quentity of the stuff in his breeches pocket, much to the coneternation of those ho has left behind him, and of loss to the coferie of financial speculae tors in Wsli street. We have given the reports ci such information in the case as could be obtained at the police office; but the wholo of it does not amountto much. At this moment, the entireaffuir ia buried » mystery, and there is great confusion and bungling somewhere or other. The principal dficuly is the absence of Plin White himsolf, who, it is stated, c ried away an immense eum, variour y estimated—by some at $50,000, by come at$l00,000, and by others as high even a3 $100,000, Perhaps, by striking | mean between the ex- tremes, we might be near the true amonnt. There are odd stories circulated about tho matter, intended to explain the mystery; but nothing seems to be satisfactory, and the police are as much at fault as anybody else. But every person wants to know where is Plin White, for whom a reward of $500 has been offered. ‘*Great reward for Plin White!— where is Plin White?” is asked by every man who passes through the street, and echo anewers, ‘“Whero!” Wo have set soveral of our reporters at work in this business, who probably will be able, as soon as all the snow and frost are completely thawed out, to find Pln White tha:ed out algo with the win- ter, with allthe gold dust porbaps thawed out of his pocket at che same time. There is a curiou: mystery about this business. It seems that during the la-t two or three years a very singular confederacy of Christians and He, brew:—oll men of houor and mark—has existed in this city, whose Lu:iness it w.s to jump on board ofevery newly arrived steamer from tho land of gold, catch bold of the Calfornians just landing with the dust, and purchase it all from them, at such prices a: they chose to give, and with such weights as they hought propor to furnish. During the lasi two years, ;robvably forty millions of gold dust have beon purebased by these opera- tors, in this way, and gent to tho Mint,and perhaps four millions of dullars or more have been realized in shaving, in ehort weights, and profits made by tho confederacy. At first, these operators, consisting of ton or fifteen persons, were rivals to each other; but as nothing handsome could be made by rivalry avd competition, they all combined, each undertaKing to do the who'e business in turn, while his confederates stood behind the scones and pock- eted their sharo of tho profits. In these operations Plin White was a sort of little Napoleon—he ma- naged them with consummate :kill—brushed up his black whiskers—looked innocent as “a sucking dove,” and walked into the Californians most effec- tually. At the proper time, he disappeared, with a largo portion of the monoy in his pockets, whilst not one of the parties concerned can bring an action in law against him, on account of the equivocal mode of doing the business among thomselves. This is the view given of the mystery—a sort of fnarcial mystery—in certain egions in Wal) street, where all the depths of financial philosophy arealways eounded and always know. It is sup- posed, therefore, that the police, and the offisers of law, and the operators, are all at fault, and that Plin White is still in this city, snugly onsconeed> ond awaiting the first approach of spring, when he will start with$200,000 or $200,000 in his pook et, and make the grand tour of Europe, shake bonds with Louis Napoleon, and get absolution fromthe Pope. We doubt whether the police could catch him, if they offered a rewari of $5,000, in- stead of $600. We shall ses. Tue Truvaytirsc Treaty anp Ratuway.— Some of the Washington correspondents state that very important intelligence may soon be expested from Mexico, embracing tho confirmation of tho famous Tehuantepec treaty, which guarantiod the Garay charter to the American company that pur- chased it from its original projector. It will be recoliected that on former occasions, all our accounts from Mexico indicated that thero was very little chance of this treaty being over sanctioned by the present Mexicaa goverament. The whole subject, it seems, has been for some time thrown into avery great state of confusion and doubt mixed up with various conflicting statemonts and ago we were siartled with tho intolligonce from | Washington, of Captain Levy, formerly of the United States naval gervico, being arrested undor place-secking politicians—the clergy and cold wa- ter on onc aide, with rum and rowdies on the other, | and the office holding, wire-pulling politicians, the | German, Irich, and American grocers end grog thops,the wino merchants and wholesale liquor cetablishments, tho brewers and theie employés, | the fermere, and eli who are in favor of moderation | It will bo & second battle | 0 fought with d upoleon of humbug is to be | boly alliance, Wehayo | general on tho other | 1 know ¢ hing of | arm the splits made revelatione to th The revere to como back to New York and Brookiyn, ‘from v hich he originally set out on this mysterious mis- No doubi a wild mountarn, though pleasant in summer, is not so very agreeable during sucha hard winter as this.

It geoms that Levy claims also to have @ grant for the construa- tion ofa railroad acrosa the Tehuantepes line, and that his charter requires n: but tho signature of the President to establish its legality and give value to the instrument. This, of course, comes ia conflict with the Garay grant, and the whole baai- nessis now £0 confused and mixed up together, that it will require a great doal of research, and much additional intelligence from Mezica, bofora it will be poesible to ascertain how either of the orament. ntepeo Company Upon this subject, tho Te’ ; have publizhed two very curi us works, under the | authority of Major Barnard, of the U. S. En- gincere, und Mr. J. J, Williams, also an engineer, g a full account of the Isthmus of Tehaante- : ¢, and illustrated with numerous maps and on- avirgs of the whole ling cf railroad contemplated ey the Garay Company. This work contains much information on the subject. nptain Lovy, in liko manrer, on his side, also pudlishoa a variety of articles on the same eubjoct, claiming a grantof | the samo right; but his lino of railroad, it appears, is very different om thatof the Garay recon. naissance. a full account cf his movements in relation to the grant, both in thic country and in Moxivco, in op- perition to the Garay Company, and in defenco of bimeelf against the recont indiotmont and prosecu- tion begun by our government at Washington. We believe ihat, one of there days, come further light will be thrown on this mixed and involved subject of conflicting grants, conflicting rights aud projected treatics. At prosent, thoro is much dark- nese, doubt and confusion on tho whole subjoct, and on all the grants. Our last accounts from Moxico'were to tho 31st of January, but we found nothing in the Mexican journals on the Tehwantepeo subjoct. Private let- teys received here state, however, agwo learn, that the Treaty had been finally rejocted by the Mexican Congress and I.xecutive; but we have seen no pori- tive confirmation of the subject, and it remains still in as much doubt as over.

We shall soon settle thi, point, by republishing, from its columns, strong anti-slavery extracts during the first years of its existence. One correction it has made, viz, that the esteblishment of the Journal preceded the establishment of the first anti slavery society by sbeut a year. This is true; but both were established by the same set of men, of whom the ‘Tappons were the leaders. Both sprung from the same fouree and tho same minds, and were in- tended to aid and advovate the same anti slavery projects. Movements or G. Kinxen —Gottfried Kinkel, the great German patriot, who for the last two days, bas been residing at the Astor House, loft the city yesterday morning, for Washington, on board the Baltic. We understand he will paya fiyirg vieit to several cities in the South, where ho wil] endeavor to excite the sympathy and generosity of the warm hearted Southerners for the cause of tho German loan. He will then return to New York, take a public farewell of his friends here, and immediately embark for the European con- tinent. Me rete Funny N. wsparer War.— Tho Pick and the Picayune, two flashy weekly journals, are at war, both in their columus and in the police office. The Pick is the new one started by Joe Scoville—tho Picayune is the old one, owned by two or three nobedies. The Pick began with a circulation of 25,000 at the first stop. This frightened tho old boys, and they retaliated by two or throe arrests of the Pick wan for iibel. ‘Lhis is a mean modo of putting down a new rival, and will hardly succeed. Let master Pick keep cool, stick to his text, say nothing of his rivals, mako « good paper, amuse all the pretty girls with funny stories, and he isin no danger of damnation. Marine Affuirs, Tue Drrantvre or THE Sreamsuir Batic ron Wasi. ineton —According to arrangement, the noble steamship Baltic started on her pleasure trip to Washington clty yeeterday. She had been handsomely painted and deco- rated for the event, and presented, both inside and out, @ most magnificent appearance. Thecompany assembled on beard included many notabilities, and the anticipa- tion of having a pleasant cruise was very general, though the prespective pleasure wes somewhat modified on the part of a few, by the anticipated derangement of the sys- tem produced on most landsmen by the rollokings of Old Neptune, The fact of hor intended trip having become pretty generally known, there was a large assembly of persons on the docks to witness her depar- ture, At 10 o’clock, everything being ready, the word war given to let go, and immediately the noble vessel moved gracefully from her berth, amld the shouts of the crowd on the piers, and the firing of her eannon; and in afew minutes more, with the stars and stripes floating at ber mein, was speediag swiftly down the river. On passing Jersey City, the exchanged ralutes with the steamship Canada. then preparing to start for Liverpool, and alto received end returned rimilar salutes from the Battery and ther pleces, as she rped awsy, accompanied by the ringipgs cf the beils ef the various river steamboate, until she faced in the distance. Bhe is expected to reach Washington on Friday morning, where her splen- did appearance cannot fail to excite great admiration and curiosity. Owing to the fllness of Capt. Comstock, the Baltic left in charge of her first officer, Tie Stransni Canava, Capt Harrison, left at noon, yesterday, for L'vérpool. She carries thirty two pas- sengers, the names of whom will be found under the proper head. of the El Eco Del Ozama, and tho official Gaceta de Go- bierno, to January 45th, They are both excellent papers. ‘We translate from them the following items:— The Gactta eays— We were surprised when we read in the message of the President of the United States to Congress, of the sottlement of peace between the Domi- nican republic and that part of the wert called the Hay- tien empire, This false report, communicated to that government by an unfaithful person, precisely when Seulougue wes calling under arms numerous army at Juana Mendey, in order to invade our territory, is highly alarming, for these falseboods can affect us in o:her ceuntries which are fiiendly to our republic.
