Rew York, Saturday, May 29, 1852. ‘Who Wil be the Next President} This question is now beginning to agitate, toa very remarkable degree, not only all the politi- cians at Washington, but to a great extent, al the politicians and people throughout the country. Next Tuesday, at Baltimore, the first of the four or five national cenventions meets for the purpose of hominating 2 candidate for the Presidency.’ This convention will represent the democratic party, and will be composed of delegates, in different propor tions, from every State in the Union, who will probably number five or six hundred. Besides these members, taking an active part in the proceedings, there will probably be from five to ten thousand lobby members floating round Baltimore, outside of the convention, and electioneering for the various candidates who have been brought forward by the newspapers and politicians for the democratic nomi- nation. The number of candidates is over a dozen, but the two leading men are Gen. Cass, of Michigan, and Mf.

It ‘is generally estimated, however, from the violence and excitement between the two factions—one in favor of Cass, and the other in favor of Buchanan— thet neither of these distinguished men will be nominated as the candidate, but that some new man will be selected by accident, after having exhausted their efforts to defeat each other on the Buchanan and Cass ballots. The friends of these statesmen wil] thus destroy the prospect of each others favorite, and will, probably, be under the ne- cessity of agreeing on some third man; but who that person may be is entirely uncertain. aleo in the great publicity of adverticements among the bent business classes, beyond any other journal of the day Malls for Europe, TRE NEW YORK WEEKLY HERALD. ‘The American mail steamship Atlantic, Captain West, Will leave this port at noon to-day. for Halifax and Liverpool, The European and Asiatic mails will close this morning before 11 o'clock, ‘The Baw Youw Weneiy Henarp, with the latest news, pub- Bebed in English wine o'clock, @ quarter #nd French, will be issued at balf-past Single copies, in wrappers, rixpence. ‘Thus much for the chances of the men, or candi- hintana weses = dates.

It is probable, however, that the convention called in Pittsburg by the free soilers, another convention ealled at Cle land in August, by the same faction, and .a a | called by the liberty party in thie State, at Bufalo, | in September, may all unite in some distinct move- | ment, embracing the repeal of the Fugitive Slave | Jaw—intervention in European affairs—the Maine | Liquor law—the Homestead Jaw, and various other | ultraiems of the day, and thus combine a mighty foree taken from both the old parties—but in what propor- tion is yet te be decided by the result. The election, | therefore, of the candidates nominated by both the | whig convention and the democratic convention, will be determined more by the character and pros- | yeets of the anti-slavery element, and its power of drawing from the whig and demoeratie parties, than on the men whom the two former pro- pose to place before the country. If (ioneral e- | | trong identification with Seward would seem to indicate his ability to receive a great amount of the abolition votes. But again, the knowledge of hie sentiments on the Compromise question would scem to indicate a repulsion to all the ultras of the anti-slavery faction, in sufficient magnitude and foree to cause his availability to be very mate- rially reduced. With these views the matter seems to be, even at this stage of the contest, covered with such mys= tery and confusion as to render it utterly impossible to get any clear idea of the probable result. One thing, however, seems positive and certain, and that is, that W. H. Seward, the principal friend and supporter of Gen. Scott, is determined if possible to avail himself of all the anti-slavery influence of the North, and will endeavor, in the approaching con- test, under the mantle of Gen. Scott’s popularity, to elect a House of Representatives pledged to repeal the Fugitive Slave law, and revive the anti-slavery agitation in this country, to the manifest danger of the Union and of the future peaceable relations of the North and South. The approaching election will grow in excitement to a frightful extent, and poscibly end in a result dangerous to the country and ite future prosperity. It begins to look dark. Tae PResiDENTIAL Question—Irs Growrne IM- PORKTANCE.—As we approach the day for the meeting of the National Conventions of the two great parties, the question begins to assume a more impor- tant aspect, and a deeper tinge, every dgy and every hour. The recent movement of Captain Scott, inquiring the sentiments of the various de- mocratic candidates on the Fugitive Slave law, and particularly in respeet to the veto, should any attempt be made to repeal such law in a future Congress, is rapidly giving a new as- pect to the whole question, and will throw all other issues and old platforms entirely over- board. In fact, as matters now look, the next Presidential clection will be one of the most impor- tant contests that bas taken pl. in this country since the formation of the constitution. The eonyen- tion that framed the eonstitution caine very near breaking into pieces through this same slavery question; and nothing but the moderation and good | sense of Benjamin Franklin, who proposed an ad- journment for one day, to give time to assuage that body from a sudden explosion in the midst of their great lubors. The same question almost pr dueed an explosion betwee the Miss controversy, and we were threat- ened with the same dangers on the compromise question two years ago. Lhis deeply exciting question—partly religious, partly political, and partly sectional—embraced in the general anti-slavery sentiment, now pro- s to come before the people of the United | es, in the popular contest for the Presideney, n a breade d wider field than it has yet appear. | ed tince the establishment of the republic. All | | parties and factions seem to be shaping their ‘pro- | ceedings and their movements in that direction. | Even the organ of the whig party in this city, which has been endeavoring to dodge this terrible | © ' iccue, merely, for a few months, in order to reach | | political place, has the following acknowledgment | in its columns of yesterday :— } The intelligence, the philanthropy. the conscience of the American people, are all adyerse to the perpetuation ot human slavery in our country, and anxious | | termination.

In these operae she would have shone, and ministered delight to every.person possessed of true musical taste, But she has gone, without the however, $150,000 richer than ehe came, and with a husband to boot ; and that is something.

TEETOTALISM IN MassacnusETTs AND Raope IsLaxp.—Governor Boutwell is abused on all hands for signing the Maine Liquor law, passed by the Legislature of Massachusetts. The papers of that State say that he vetoed the first bill, and then signed the second, after being made worse, and the reference to- the people being taken away, which indicated ene of two things—either that they were afvaid to submit it to the judgment of the people, knowing that it would be emphatically against them, or that they despised the people as mere canaille, who have no brains to think for themselves as to what they,shall eat and drink, or wherewithal they ghall be clothed. But we do not concur in these attacks on Governor Boutwell. We think he has acted perfectly right. When he saw the Legis- lature bent on forcing this measure, he came to the conclusion of giving them a bellyful of cold water, and let them drink it till they burst., It is all a party trick; and the very men who voted for the measure violated their own consciences, and did not believe in or practice temperance. His cue, there- fore, undoubtedly is to give them such a dose of cold wat er a8 will make them heartily sick of it. They did not expeet he would sign the bill, and they thought they would have .the credit of voting for it, while they ceuld enjoy the luxury of a glass of good liquor. But Governor Boutwell has caught the hypocrites in their own trap, and they will be the first to repent the law they have made. ‘The Governor of Rhode Island hag acted precisely in the same manner. He, too, opposed the law; but when he saw the Legislature resolved upon passing it, he determined he would sign it, but told them they would regret it. And so they will. If these Governors carry out the law stringently, as we trust they will, enforcing it particularly in the case of the members of the Legislature, sending every man of them to the Penitentiary that dares to drink wotughe Mop of any kind af spirituous Hiyuors, and while there putting them to hard labor if they don’t drink a copious draught of water—at least oae quart every hour in the da, ither fresh, or salt, or brackish—if the law is ¢ Jout in this w: the mock teetotalers and sanctified Mawworms w have enough of it before all is ov ‘There is one provision of the law, as it has passed in Massachusetts, that shows the hollow-hearted hypocrisy of the whole measure.

Yesterday Mr, Meagher went into the country, in order to recover a little from the fatigues of hiejourney. As he did not make @ triumphal entry, | like Koreuth, and could not be seen, it was imagined by some that the matter was a hoax, He returned, how- ' over, in the evening, and one of our corps had the plea, ure of an interview with him, and derived the facts | of his eveape from his own lips, with the exception | of the chip in which he escaped, and of that he would not | afford any clue. | Mr. Meagher had the partial liberty of # ticket of leave at the time he escaped, but did not violate its con- | dition, It ran as follows :—“I undertake not to escape from the colony as long as I hold this ticket of leave.” Having made previous preparations for his flight, a fleet horse saddled in his stable. and well armed with pistols, he addressed a letter to the magistrate of Ross, about twenty miles distant, and a township of the district out of which he was not permitted to go, The place in which he resided was the wild bush.

When the magistrate read the letter he was astounded and he immediately ordered the Chief of Police, who happened to be present, to proceed at once to errest him, The Chief of Police replied he would not do any fuch thing. as he.was an Irishman, and that young’ gentleman was an Irishman, “But you must do it,” retorted the magistrate. “Faith, I won't,” replied the Irishman, “I will resign first.” “But I will not accept your resignation.” “Then if you don’t, you may let it alone. but I will not arrest young Meagher.” The magistrate gave it up as a bad case, and rode immediately to another station in search of police. Meantime, the Irish Chief of Police set out for the mine: and thought he could make more money in digging gol than in arresting brave Irish patriots. Such is one of the firet fruits of the gold discovery in Australia—the escape of the brilliant Meagher. Gold, after all. is useful in its way. Meagher waited for six hours after the time, in order not to give the British authorities any excuse for saying he had violated his pledge. He was accompanied aud assisted by three young Eng- lish settlers, who supplied him with horses and had horses themselves. They proposed to wait till the police cume, and kill them.
