New York, Friday, April 23, 1852, Tho News Soveral interesting items, relative to the cnrious movements of the politicians in Washington, have been forwarded by our special correspondent. There is no mistake in the report that the Southern whigs are preparing a pronunciamento, in which they will Dring to light many of the secret manceuvres of their opponents in the late caucus. There are breakers ahead, and the freesoil whigs may as well get ready in time to meet them. Senator Mangun, yesterday, made a personal ex- planation relative to the caugus, in which he made some rather sovere remarks, as will be seen on refe- renee to the report, concerning Mr. Brooks. It was by far the most bitter specch of the session. As the veracity of Mr. Brooks is questioned, he will be eompelied to make an explanation to-day. It isa pretty rough quarrel, but there is no prospect of a fight. The United States Senate yesterday decided to make the whole number of Congressional repre- sentatives two hundred and thirty-four--thereby allowing California to send two members, as at present, and giving South Carolina an extra inem- ber for her fraction. This appears to be about the most satisfactory arrangement that eould have been made. On the coming up of the deficiency bill, Mr. Miller, from the majority of the finance committee, made an excellent speech in support of the proposed aid tothe Collins steamers. He went into a statistical analysis ofthe whole question, and produced facts which cannot well fail to convince even the few ul- tra opponents of the necessity of sustaining the line. The present indications are that the appropriation requests, the State will not be bound to acqai in the removal of the bridge. This controversy being of interest only to Pennsylvania and Virginia, | they should be allowed to fight it out between themselves. James McGowan was mui in Baltimore yes- terday morning by his brother-in-law, Allen Atkin- ton. The latter struck the othor on the head while asleep, with an iron bar. Baltimore appears to be eclipsing even Philadelphia, in the number of bru- tal deeds, now-a-days. Accounts of the disastrous effects of the late storm continue to pour in from all quarters. Floods have ewept off houses, barns, live stoek, &c., on the banks ofmany of the large streams in Massachusetts, Penn- sylvania, Virginia, Ohio, and two or three other States. The village of Washington, in Virginia, was entirely swept away. The loss of property in New York is comparatively trifling. One of our Washington correspondents enables us to lay before our readers the letter of instructions from Seeretary Webster to Com. Aulick, concern- ing the expedition to Japan. ‘This letter is highly important, and will well repay a perusal. The National Theatre at Boston was entirely de- stroyed by fire yesterday morning. The company immediately transferred their services to the Fede- ral street Theatre, and performed in the latter house last evening, with Mrs. Sinclair at their head. i Of foreign advices. we’ yesterday received later accounts from Buenos Ayres, Montevideo, Rio de Janciro, Bahia, Para, Pernambuco, Guadaloupe, Martinique, St.Kitts, Porto Rico, St. Lucia and Bermuda. The intelligence from these points will be found in another column of this morning's paper. The French islands ‘evince their loyalty to Louis Napoleon with considerable enthusiasm. The news of the crops at St. Lucia is rather un- favorable. The accounts from Buenos Ayres indi- cate peace, and the gradual re-organization of the provinees of La Plata on a better and moro fiberal basis. The administration at Washington seems to have entirely lost sight of the recent important events in that quarter; and while England and France have sent out a joint mission to take advan- tage ofcircumstances, our government appears de- termined to trust to luck in the settlement of affairs in that quarter—in the opening of the great rivers of South America to the commerce of the world. Will Congress see to this? The joint European mission left for Buenos Ayres on the 16th inst. The Board of Assistant Aldermen last evening ad- journed for the session. A large number of papers and if you attempt to foree Gen. 'Beott—our eandi- | date—te recognise tho abominable and atrocious Fugitive law, you must abide by the consequences. We shall then throw off tho mask, and open the war, and carry on the campaign upon the single ie- sues of the repeal of that law, and the humbling of the presumptuous slaveholding and slave trading minority of the South. Such isthe import of the warning from the Seward oracles of the Northern whig party. Such are the views and opinions of the leading whig journals of this city. The best that we can make of the whole lump is, that Wall street is ready to compromise upon the Fugitive Slave law; and that the Seward faction are determined to strangle that issue or reduce the election to a combined assault upon Southern slavery. They protest against a more side irsue like the Fugi- tive law being made the test question of the whig party; but they know that it is the paramount question of the day. The old financial questions of the bank, the tariff, and the public lands, are settled —practically settled. Those issues have become stale, hackneyed and obsolete; but the issue betwoen tho North and South, of the abolition of slavery, is a living, vital, and national issue. It involves theonly dangere which this Union has to foar—a sectional division, civil war, and all the horrors of the bloody orgies of St. Domingo; and so deeply tainted and corrupted have the two old parties of the North bo- come with their abolition affiliations, that neither can any longer be trusted by the South without the most solemn and unequivocal pledges upon the slavery question. If the Northern whig party or democratic party prefer the “higher law” a3 above the constitution, so be it; but it is due to the South, and the Union men of the North, of both parties, that they should understand it. Upon this single issue of the binding obligations of the compromise, out and out, we should like to see a distinct trial made in the Northern States. There is a majority in the North—even in Massa- chusetts—in favor of the adjustment, for the sake of peace. Let the test be fairly applied. There need, then, be.no fear by the South of the power of the Northern whig party as an abolition party. Let the South organize at once for an independent move- ment. Let them give the Northern whigs all the rope they may desire, and the battle will soon be ended. The Union loving and law abiding people of the North, without respect to old party associations, will rally to the support of the South in vindication of the constitution, the laws, and the Union; and abolitionism will be throttled and suffocated in the from the other Board were referred, and several con- curred in. Among the latter, were tho designations of Police Justices and clerks, already reported. V.e elsewhere give a full report of the speech of Kossuth, at Newark, yesterday. Notwithstanding all his strange manoeuvres, it will be observed that our reporters have managed to follow him up pretty closely. He will leave for Boston this morning. It is expected, by a few sanguine persons, that the Nerthern Light will arrive to-day, with cleven days later news from California. One or two ox- peeted her yesterday, and lost money in consequence of her non-arrival. The Pacific was to leave San Francisco on the Ist inst., for San Juan del Sud. If the N. L. shouldarrive, the time—from city to eity— would be twenty-three days—two days and eighteen hours shorter than the quickest run on record. The Whig Caucus—The Whig Press—The Whig Party, and the Presidency. The sectional split in the late Congressional Whig Caucus at Washington, has forced itself upon the attention of our whig cetemporarics. There is a good deal of fluttering and squirming among the legitimatists, and some very decided threatening, blustering, and bravado among the Seward organs ; but they all agree that it is an ugly piece of work, and that if it cannot be patched up, the old, demo- will pass by a handsome majority. Mr. Borland moved, as an amendment to the deficiency bill, that the laws be published in tho newspaper having the largest circulation in each Congressional district. This would be a capital plan. An attempt was yesterday made in the House to have the Committee of the Whole discharged from the further consideration of the bill to modify and reduce the rates of postage. The request wrs very properly refused. Although this bill is not, by any means, all that could be desired, it is much +vetter than the act under which post- ages are now regulated. The last report of the Post Master General, clearly establishes the fact, that the profits of the depart- ment fuliy warrant a reduction to, at most, one third of the present scale. The people of the, country expect this, and nothing short of it will satiefy them. Private individuals would gladly accept of contracts to deliver letters, in any part of the country, at one cent each, and why not the government? The labors of the day closed with a debate on tho Free Farm bill. Mr. Sutherland, of this State, made some very pointed remarks in opposition te this unjust and unconstitutional af- fair. The printing eommittee have again decided that the Republic and "nton newspapers must have a portion of the government work, and have secured bonds from the publishers of those journals for the proper execution of the samo. This little bit of pap~-amounting, perzaps, to a couple of hundred thougind dollars—was necessary to keep these old fogyreicets on their legs till after the Presidential election. As to the Southern rights and abolition organs--the Southern. Press and National Era— they wil, manaze to upon their industry—al- though, tpon the prinoipie of equity, they are en- titled to g fair share of the spoils. The gov rnment of Mexico is evidently alarmed atthe postion assumed ‘by the foreign ministers concerning te tariff queetioc. Dates from the city of Mexico,t the 3d inst., wiate that the Ghief Seeretery hati declared to the ministers that they had no zjght to interfere in tho matter; neverthe- Jess, the Congress were hard at work endeavoring to reform the eyil, and rumors were afloat that a change in the @binet might soon be expected. The particwar advocates of nea-intervention ix the internal affairs of foreign nations, now have a chance to back their words by deeds, without the trouble of crowsing the ocean. Whet say they to shouldoring their muclets in defence of Mexico, agains this downright throut of foreign countries, through their rapreseigtives? A new line of railron, is talked of between Balti- more and.’ hiladedphia er run it in some other aireetion. There will edly be a vaet falling off inthe receipts of the rowds already diverging from the Quaver city, unless the State removes the wnerous yestrigtions on thoir freights to the Seuth- wort, the Jarger portion of which és sent from this ily Many items of considerable intorest to politiciane will be found undy: the telegraphic head. The emocrmts of the fifth congressional distrivt of Mary- land. have elected a Cass delegate to the National Convention. The Pilimore and Seott whigs made a draw game of their dispute in the city convention. The principal—indeed only, objection to President Fillmore in that city is, that he has refused to re- | inove men from offee, in asgordance with the die- tation of certain whig aspirants, who want a@ dip at the spoils themselves. The oppetition of such per- sone can do but little injury. Ten persons lost their lives by the burning of the steamer Pocahontas, on the Mississippi, & few days ago. The cargo consisted of nearly twenty-four hundred bales of cotton, which, with the boat was entirely consumed Aw was expected, the order of the Supreme Court for the removal of the bridge over the Ohio ver, et Wheeling—if enforced—is likely to produce sone annoyance to the government. The lower branch. of the Virginia Legislat have passed some ! pretty epirited rerolutions, requesting a ttay of pro- evedings, arking Congres lo adopt momsures to pre- Went the contemplated remove, and winding ap by @ving both Congress and the Cisurt; to dintinetly upderriand that, if they refuse to mquieme in (hero } lane ralized and mildewed whig party is gone to the dogs. The issue is upon them, and they cannot evade it; but they appear to be consoled with the idea that the rupture can be healed, or patched up, like the rent in the Governor's old breeches, at the public expense. Mr. Webb, of the Courier, who, since his return from Austria, has turned his attention very largely to ecclesiastical affairs, and the unconstitutionality of the Maine Liquor law, condescends to enlighten us with his views of the late caucus, and his policy upon the subject. In the church, he is but a lay- man; but in the whig party, he is a bishop, (prime cost $52,675 43) and can therefore ‘ speak as one having authority.” It is difficult to make out what he is driving at, for he argues upon the rotary prin- ciple, moving in a circle like a horse in a cider mill; but as nearly as his manifesto can be made out, he contends: First—That the caucus had no right to dictate the compromise to the whig National Con- vention. Secondly—That Scnator Mangum is a gentleman and a scholar. Thirdly—That Web- ster is the only first-rate man for the Presiden- cy; and in the fourth place, our venerable cotemporary speaks out like a man, and says, that he would rather have the whig party de- feated, ‘if it can only succeed by the nomination for the Presidency, of an individual who is not avowely the friend of the compromise, and of the fraternal union between the North and South, which flows from it.” And he winds np in the true style of an orthodox high churchman, with the prayer and hope that the Whig National Convention will plant itself upon this platform, and sustain no man, “no matter when, where, or by whom nominated, who is not avowedly the friend of the compromise measures.” Suchis the cream and substance of Mr: Webb's manifesto. The whig caucus was right enough in rejecting the compromises; but if the National Convention fails to do it, he is virtually pledged to aid in the defeat of the whig party. This is sheer nonsense. Why should not the prin- ciple apply to the caucus, if no trick was intended? Why approve of the thimble-rig at Washington, and scout it.at Baltimore? But, if Mr. Webb ex- pects to rule,out Scott in the convention, by ruling in the compromises, and Mr. Webster to boot, he is hopelessly befygged. The Northern whig faction will have Scott or nothing, and thoy who are not satisfied to take him on trust, mey leave. The South may be kiexed out, but Seward will not be sacrificed. The convention will not throw the abo- Aitionists overboard to conciliate Southern slave- holders, by a recognition of the binding obligations ofhe Fugitive Slave Jaw. Never. Tho only leg Mr. Webb has left to stand upon, is to prepare him- self for defeating the whig party. Anciher Wall street organ, devoted to the service of Mr. Fillmore, and such broken victuals as may fall fromthe Custom House table, pleads that the yexed quertion be adjourned from Washington to Baltimore, doubtless in the hope that thase the matter may he patched up so as todo. The broth- erly regard of this Wall stroet fogy for the Pugitive Slave jaw, after having dodged it in Con- gress, is as remarkable as the veal of Mr. Webb in the cause of Mr. Webster, aftor having exhausted the vocabulary of abuse upon his devoted head, in | the good old times of Captain Tyler We turn now to the whig organs of Nassau street. Wall etacet is pretty sound on the intervention ques- tion, the cotton question, and the fugitive question; strongholds of the incendiaries. It canbe done. It is for the South to put the ball in motion. No time now for patehing up a reconciliation between the constitutionand ‘the higher law.” The ono or the other must be put down. KossutH anp THE Newsraren Press.—-One of the novel features of the renewal of the Kossuth celebrations in this neighborhood, is the complaint which the orator himself continually thrusts before the public, regarding the temper and tone with which most of the newspapers have treated his pur- poses, his mission, and himself during the last few months. There has been a great deal of contradic- tion in many of the speeches of Kossuth during his career West and South, combined, however, with agreat deal of sameness in the language, style, tone, and temper of his five hundred speeches. His recent speeches here are principally remarkable for the querulousness which escapes him against that portion of the American newspaper press that op- pores his projects, laughs at his manoeuvres, and makes fun of the melo-dramatic sublimity of his pretensions. Kossuth, recently, is incessantly in- troducing those ‘personal matters,” as he calls them, into his speeches. 7 Now, it is evident from this peculiarity, in the temper of Kossuth, that he has not been drilled into the freedom and frankness of republican institutions to any considerable extent. He evinces the sensi- tiveness of a novice in liberty. He is blubbering and thin-skinned to an extreme. No journal that we have seen has imputed dishonesty to Kossuth, but two-thirds of the American press have questioned his wisdom, the practicability of his projects, the feasibility of his mission, the propriety of his de- nouncing the doctrines of Washington, and the decency or good feeling which prompted him to talk, ashe has done in his. speeches, of Captain Long, Mr. Clay, and other distinguished men of the land. In all this, American journalism has treated Kos- suth with much forbearance, much more so than they do their own distinguished men, of any party or every party. Let one look over the last quarter of a century, and call up to one’s recollection the manner in which Clay, Webster, Jackson, Calhoun, Clinton, Cass, Seward, or any other distinguished statesmen of this age, have been talked about in public meetings, and written about in public journals in this country. The treatment of Kossuth by the newspapers has been the treatment of an indulgent father to a rick- etty child, in comparison with the same treatment to the American statesmen we have named, during their whole public career. Yet, who ever saw these distinguished men descend to the captiousness and querulousness of complaining in public meetings, or in popular harangues, of the treatment bestowed upon them by the newspaper press? American statesmen, of every age, have more sturdiness and stamina in their character, more beliof in the purity and strength of their principles, more know- ledge of the light and heavy artillery of the press, than to trouble themselves with trifles when they are dealing with men and cowmunities, principles and purposes, which can, in a free land, stand against an unjust opposition, as the Alleghanies or the Rocky Mountains can stand against the rudost blasts of the North. Kossuth, we are afraid, has much to learn of free government, liberty, republicanism, democracy, and everything else connected with this new system of civilization. He has yet to learn to speak less, and act more. He has been engaged in an expedi- tion, or mission, through this country, similar to that which Gen. Lopez attempted a short time ago. The igauing of the Hungarian bonds, on tho faith of a Hungarian republic, in the present state of Europe, is ascleer a case of humbug, as evor was the pro- mulgation of the Cuban bonds, with the signature of Lopes, who had the courage to go and die for the idea which he affected to represent. Yet out of regard, and a delicate regard, for the position and character of Kossuth, little has been sajd against thoso ridiculous bonds, or the paltry atéempte to put them in circulation among an intelligent people, in order to raise funds to get up what is called a revolution in Europe. We could enumerate many other points in the earcer of Kossuth, equally absurd and “illogical,” aa he would call them, which the Auterican press and the American people have passed over in silence, or with a smile, a joke, or a laugh, merely because they wished to exorcise forbearance to- wards the individual himse)f, and those by whom he wae accompanied. Hie mission in this country, as it has been ‘a Europe, is @ failure. If democracy is ever to be triumphant apd paramount in the Old World, the age will have to bring forth men of differont calibre but in Nassau street the whig oracles are dyed in | the wool. The Tribune, the great scarecrow of the | silver grays, undertakes to bluster the Southern se- | ceders from the whig caucus into blind submission | to Seward, or open rebellion. It says that the act of | seceding from the caucus was a ‘* factious finessee to ghten the great body of the whig members,” and that it was ‘‘a simple attempt by the minority to bully the majority.” The little Times, a sort of Sancho Panza, dancing attendance upon Don Quix- ote, declares thet if the compromise measures are adopted by the whigs a# their platform, they will 1. *¢ the States of New York, Ohio, and New Eng- nd that the Fugitive | bie thing ia permitted (a recog nition © w) ‘the coming contest wiil be mainly sectional Let the South heed the warnivg.

It is relative to the produc- tions and resources of the magnificent islands em- braced in thatempire. Wo have other articles, from the same source, on the social and political condi- tion of the Japanese, some of which we may hero- | after give in our columns. | The government expedition to that quarter of the world is a phenomenon of modern times, and happily in keeping with thom. It has attracted al- most universal attention, and will cause whatever of value is published to be read with avidity. The affair has created much excitement all over Europe, and has reverberated on the Asiatic shores. The King of Siam has already made peace | with the United States and England, by throw- ing open his ports to those nations, and the Japan- ese are, by all accounts, in terrific consternation. The impenetrable mystery of the authorship of Junius’ letters made them notorious; the mysterious | and secluded policy ef the Japanese has also mado | them notorious. To puraphrase a well-known passage :— | » Concealment lends enchautment to the view.” A nation which has existed for 2,400 years, and longer, in utter seclusion from the rest of the human race, is to be overhauled and brought up to the mark of intercourse with the most enlightened na- tions of the world. What a treat to the philosophic mind will be the contrast! What theories and practical results in the history and developement of the human race will be elicited! Let us inquire into the causes which have tated such exclusive and extraordinary policy. The Japanese claim for themselves an antiquity ex- tending considerably further back than the fabu- lous periods of the ancient Egyptians. Their re- cords, however, for the last two thousaud four hun- dred years, are uniform and minute, and bear the appearance of general accuracy. The effect of these fabulous traditions, believed by the body of the people, is the cause of their secluded spirit, and is part of the government policy which deems it conducive to their happiness, which some little fo- reign experiences have confirmed, and to which is added their fear of foreign broils. Moreover, they believe in distinct origins of the human race; for how (remarks one of their oracles) can Dutchmen and negroes be of the same descent? The Portu- guese, soon after their discovery of Japan, about the middle of the sixteenth century, with the view to forward their interests, according to their custom sent out Catholic missionaries, who were admitted to free access to the interior of the country, and made a large number of converts. This eontinued for some ten years, when Teigs, the reigning Em- peror, perceiving that the Jesuits were much more eager to collect Japanese gold than to save souls, and having goodreason for suspecting an attompt- ed conquest by the Portuguese, resolutely banished them, and by the most rigorous measures thoroughly extirpated Christianity and all Europeans. This fact aceounts for the calumnies by tho Jesuits, and exhibits the chief principles upon which the se- clusive poiley of the Japanese has been founded. The principles of this exclusive policy cannot now be regarded as tenable or justifiable. The oponing of a free commercial intercourse will be of immense advantage to the Japaneso, and will employ their enormously over-stocked population in raising productions and mannfactures for export, and their imports from the United States will so contri- bute to their social, and comparatively enlightened and educated condition, as to place them at the head of the Asiatic nations. The political constitu- tion of Japan, strange to say, approximates to that of England a few centuries back, and the island of Niphon may almost be commercially regarded as the England of Asia. Her abundance of coal, cop- per, and all kinds of steel and polished iron tools, to say nothing of her gold, silver, porcelain and varnish, renders a trade with her highly desirable in itself. In these days of steam navigation, and looking at our future maritime relations with that part of the Pacific, the first-named commodity will be of incalculable benefit, as will the copper for sheathing our ships. Cotton, also, is largely manu- factured in Japan. An immense traffic will at once spring into existence between the California coasts and the numerous ports of Niphon, and with China and the Archipelago. The advantages resulting to our whale fisheries, in the use of her harbors, will also be great. The example will also have its due effect, and will be thoroughly appreciated by all parties in that quarter. It will be a new era—not only in Asia, but in the world. Who would have supposed, in the days of Asi: grandeur, that unknown America was to be the mediating and civilizing power on this continent— that she was destined to proclaim a new order of commerce to the world, and to stand herself in the midst, and as its author and projector? We all recollect the excitement and change in affairs which pervaded the commercial world when England achioved her overland and Mediterranean routes to India ; but how will stand the advantages of tho transit by ship canal through Nicaragua, when the best part. of the Asiatic territories shall have been opened? This ‘overland route” was destined for the sole benefit of England; but the United States will almost simultaneously open new commercial relations with Asia, anda route far surpassing in value the English ‘‘overland,” by its contiguity with our own nation, with South America, and the valuable islands in the Pacific, drawing in its track a luminous train of commercial enterprise. In short, the developement of the world—its developo- ment by a commercial and republican genius. Truly, the source is worthy of its honor, great and powerful as we are. We are enjoying a supremacy before we know it. Theaggrandizement of San Francisco, and the resources and require- ments of the California territory, will have a cor- responding effect upon this and the other Atlantic citios, and the sympathetic intercourse betwoen the ities of the two eoasts, whether by wator orby land, or both, will consummate the prosperity of this coun- try. A line of first class eteamors will, no doubt, be projected shortly between New York and Japan and China, and also between the two latter places and Ban Franciseo. Such is the progression of the world—the United States sprang from its spirit, and is now about to minister to its developemont. It may be said that such an expansion of inter- course, or territorial influence, will weaken a nation. Thie is true of despotic or monarchical nations. Russia, with her great extent of territory, has felt that she cannot use or benefit by it, although oon- tiguous to Japan, China, and Persia. Free and re- publican institutions, although recognizing a com- mon centre, have in themselves the spirit of their own enterprise, of which they may consider them- selves the centre. London, for example, isthe great sponge and monopolist of England; and it speaks fa- vorably for us and our independence of thought and action that the seat of our government is surpassed in commercial enterprise by other cities more adapted for it. This developoment will support it- :Nelf, and further establishes the consonance of our fo, M and praetice of government with commercial geni Ve The Japanese expedition will be, therefore, in afew months, the topic of the world; and unloss Commo- dore Perry* succeed in his purposes, he need not show his face aga,‘0 in the United States, ea ECR Marine Affairs, Thy Steamenre ¢ enna Nevana left port yesterday, for Chagree. ‘ ‘A Cand.—The capta,"¥ and crew of the schoonor J.B.

REVIVAL OF Suuny Linp Manta.—Several of the newspapers, and a few of what wo call in this city ‘‘the oyster house eritics,” are beginning to indicate a wieh for the revival of the Jenny Lind mania for the last three concerts which Madame Goldschmidt has proposed to give, by way of farewell to the American people, before she leaves this coun- try finally for Burope. The attempt, we think, will | fail in its purpose. There is but one Barnum in a cen- tury; and he is not engaged on this particular ocea- sion, to prepare the way for the revival of an excite- ment of such a character as we once experienced here. There is also only one Genin; and he is so busy in showing off his new splendid store up Broad- way, that he'has no time to pay two hundred dol- lars for a ticket for any new concert that may be got up next month, But there are other and equally forcible reasons, calculated to produce a conviction in the reasoning mind that no fresh mania can be created in this city for the approaching concerts of Madame Gold- schmidt. When Jenny Lind was an angel, it might do very well to get up an enthusiasm, and to put concert tickets at prices varying from ten to two hundred dollars. But the angel who enraptured us under the management of Barnum, has since changed | her condition, and become a plain, sensible, discreet, married woman, with aloving husband, and the prospect of a large family of nine young cherubs for the future generation. These realities cool off enthusiasm amazingly, and will bring down the most angelic artiste to the platform of com- mon sense, common prices, and common applause. We think, therefore, that there has been an indiscretion perpetrated in the announcements al- ready mado, that the prices of tickets for the ap- proaching concerts of Madame Goldschmidt are to be at three dollars and two dollars. We have had the finest operas, performed by first rate artists—such as Steffanone and Bosio, Salvi and Bettini—given to the public at fifty cents, night after night. The idea, therefore, of attempting to put up concert tickets at three dollars, for scraps from the same operas, even by Madame Goldzchmidt, will not, we think, sueceed in the present instance, by genius far inferior to that which Barnum displayed in the ori- ginal campaign, when he had the angel to cheer him on his course, and the untried enthusiasm of the public lying open before him, like a fat oyster wait- ing patiently to be opened and swallowed. But if the attempt should fail to get up a second edition of the Jenny Lind excitement on the ap- proaching occasion of Madame Goldschmidt’s fare- well concerts, the lovers of and livers on enthusi- asin may as well prepare themselves for something of the kind, which will be more appropriate, during the course of the coming summer. when a cortain début of a young and fair American artiste will take place, who is reported to possess power of voice equal to that of Jenny Lind, and even beyond it in range and peculiarity of construction. This young débutante that is to be, has been studying music with the first masters in Europe for the last six years. Every one of these personages has been astonished at the extent and the power of her voice, the ca- pacity which she exhibits, the beauty of her intona- tions, and the personal grace and fascination with which these talents are accompanied. It is said that she will make her début in some Italian opera, during the course of the coming summer. Lovors of excitement and patrons of enthusiasm will then probably have an opportunity of indulging in their favorite sentiment to the fullest extent. Only wait and see. Tae Wasuincton Organs ann Tae Waic Cavous.—The National Intelligencer and Republic compress their official report of the late Con- gressional Whig Caucus into half a dozen lines, simply publishing the fact that they had agreed upon Wednesday, the sixteenth of June, and the city of Baltimore, as the time and place for the Whig National Convention. We believe there is extant a history of France, by some learned Jesuit, in which the thrilling career of that nation—the republic and the empire, from the execution of Louis XVI. to the return to power of Louis XVIII. —is.omitted as a blank, because it formed no part of the legitimate history of France. The omission by the whig organs at Washington, of the proceed- ings of the Southern members in the late caucus, is on a par with the Jesilit’s history. They omit the most splendid part of the whole affair. But the attempt to suppress it, like the experiment of the Jesuit, is exceedingly ridiculous. Oh! why will the poor, servile, old organs—the supercilious and dignified old organs at Washington—hide their candle under a bushel, when the light is wanted? Brethren, their condition is a hard one. How is it to be improved? They will not listen to good ad- vice. Brethren, let us pray. Gen. Cass axp THE Fvortive Stave Law.— A writer in the Washington Union, in a labored explanation of the failure of Gen. Cass to vote on the Fugitive law, says:--“ I have never for a mo- ment doubted, that had his vote been required to pass the bill, he would have been thero, and recorded it in the affirmative.” Now, it so happens that Gen. Cass was there. He was in his seat when the question of ordering the Fugitive bill to its final reading was taken by ayes and noes; but he did not vote. After the third reading, the bill passed asamere matter of form. Let Gen. Cass himself be consulted, if necessary, and we suspect he will promptly confirm this statement of the facts. It is quite likely that had his vote been required, it would have been given for the law. He had, how- ever, the courage to face the music and keep quiet, while Douglas and some others were unavoidably absent, just at that time, on very important private business. Cass did not dodge. “he wae thers, But it was a ticklish experiment, and so ho agreed quietly to let the South have it all their own way.
