As will be observed by the leogthy report of the proceedings of the National Free Sot] Convention at Pitt-burg, that body yesterday effected the object for whieh it arsembled, by nominating John P. Hale, ef New Hampshire, for President, and George W. Julien, of Indiana, for Vice President. Considera- ble difficulty appears to bave been produced at the @@uvention with regard to the selection of s party pame, the ertabliskment of a platform, &e.; but unkke their ootemporaries in the Baltimore Conven- tion, the majority were iedisposed to waste time in ile diseussion. They therefore soon managed to eowpromise matters, and on coming to the impor- tant vote for President, they all pulied together, with an unanimity that was astonishing. This Romination of Mr Hale throws the two old parties ef tbe country back upon their original grouads. kt will take from the whig and democratic ranks all the free soilers of every shade and hue—thus injuring exe party about ss much as the other, and leaving the great body of the people to decide upon the prin- Giples at irsue between them. True, it will greatly out down the vote of both; but then it is not likely that 1t will interfere with the actual strength of either, as did the Buffalo ticket in 1848. In that sovtest, Mr. Van Buren, inaddition to reeciving the free soi] vote of the country, was supported by a Jong line of old end warm personal friends. Mr. Hale bas no each personal popularity. He will get the vote ef his party, composed of all the colors, jems and ites of the eeuntry, and nothing more. He was formerly considered as belonging to the de pocrais, but in the United States Senate, of late, ke has been anywhere, everywhere, and no where, just as it suited his convenience. Mr. Julien, the nominee for Vice President, represented the Fourth district of Indiana in the last Congress. We shall take the treuble to review this whole matter here- after, and, in the meantime, refer our readers to ibe exceedingly entertaining report of the proceed- ings and speeches in the convention. Tbe information detailed by our special Washing- ten correspondent, with regard to the fishing troubles, if correct—and no doubt it ie—is highly im- portant. The writer asserts that he bas it from a reliable source, that the British government has not and will net approve of the torced construction placed upon the treaty by the colonists, by which they claim exelusive right inside the headlands. All that England requires is, that foreign vessels ghall not take fish within a marine league of the actual chore. This is very plain and simple ; and if such be really the position of Great Britain on the subject, Mr. Webster was certaialy very wide of the mark in hie proclamation. But, be all this as it may, it is quite evident, according to all accounts, that many of our fishermen have been most ungen- erously dealt with, by either the oolonists or the British naval officers—most likely by the former. The Awerican fishermen, when indisputably beyond the prescribed bounds, have been ordered off, and, ia wae or two instances, captured and confiscated. No matter who the guilty parties are who have co mitted these acts, they are subjects of the British Queen} aud, as such, her government is responsible for them. One good— temporary at leasi—will grow out of these troubles. The blueacses, who have been claiming bounty from the United States, will be caught, and their rascality exposed. The chief feature in the proceedings of the United Bratces Senate, yesterday, was the speech of Mr. Boulé, on the fishing question. This gentleman gems to have token an entirely distinct view of the gave, and dissents, in toto, from the opiuions of Se- eretery Webster, Goo. Cass, and others.

The «Divine Right of Kings” Versas the foveretgmty of the People— Combination ef the Northern P. wers ogeinst Loans Ne polkon—Critieal Postion ef Continental Affairs. The coup déat of the second of December, by which the French President anticipated the termi- nation of hie tenure of office, and procured his re- | instalment, with dictatorial powers, for ten years, alarmed the despotic governments of Northern | Enroge, for the safety of the ‘divine right” prin- ciple, under which they rate and govern, and which was £0 terribly endangered by the total negation of hereditary sovereignty in France, and the assump- tion, by the people, of the right of electing theirown ebief magistrate. It is well known, that immedi- ately subsequent to this successful movement of the Prince President of France, the powers of Russia, Austria, and Prussia, interchanged notes and opini- nions on the subject, and commenced negotiations for the establishment of a treaty with each other, for the purpose of securing combined action in refere ence to the course they should decide upon adopt- ing towards France and her government. The spring and summer months were consamed by the cabinets of St. Petersburg, Vieans and Ber- lin, in deliberations as to the best mode of checking the ambitious projects of Louis Napoleon, and pre- venting his assuming the imperial sceptre, either as an elective or hereditary sovereign These nego- ‘tiations have terminated in the formation of a se- cret treaty, dated the 20uh of May, 1852, and signed | tions in Faneuil Hall, now is the time to show it. by the Emperor of Russia, the Emperor of Austria, | Let the Webster men of New York put upa Web- and the King ef Prussia, an analysis of which was first given to the English publicin the London Mora- ing Chronicle of the 25th ultimo. This treaty, which like that of the Holy Alliance, has been blas- pbemously placed under the invocation of the Trini- ty, declares that the basis of European order is hereditary right; that in France the house of Bour bon, of which the present bead is the Comte do Chambord, personifies that right; and that tho power exercised by Louis Napoleon is a power de facto, which can make no pretensions whatever to euch right, since the origin of elevation is the very negative of it. The subscribing parties thea bind themselves that in case Prince Louis Bana- parte should get himself,clected as Emperor for lie, they will not recognise him as such till be should, among other things, formally renounce all proten- sions to the eontinuation or founding of a dynasty ; and that in the event of his declaring himself here- ditary Emperor they will protest against it, and consult as to the ulterior measures which it may be necessary to take. They then hold out the tempting assurance to the legitimist party, that should Nupeleon be removed from his position by revolution or death, they will use all the means at their disposal to restore the legitimate heir of the crown, the Comte de Chambord. This secret treaty, of which the foregoing is the sub- | General Scott, of the whig platform, nor the nomi- | there bas been any sincerity in the windy partiality upon Daniel Webster. It is an unusual proceeding for the whigs of North Carolina to bolt from their | y),, regularly appointed local or national ticket. Here- | tofore they have been the steadiest and surest tion in their ranks confirms the warnings given by j Messrs. Clingman, Outlaw, and others, at the | whig Congressional caucu-es last epring, in Wash- ington, with regard to the nomication of Genera) | Scott. The Whig National Convention, in order to | coneiliate the people of North Carolina to the bero of three or four wars, put upon the ticket with him the most popular whig in the State—a whig who bad been elected Governor by a popular majority greater than that of Henry Clay. But the concession has tailed of ita intended effect. Tho unfortunate relations between General Scott and W. H. Seward and his free soil organs, it nov appears, bad alienated the North Carolina whigs be- yond remedy ; so that neither the acceptance, by nation of Mr. Graham for Vice President, nor his personal influence and popularity in the canvass, hay done any good. The election is democratic in one of the most reliable whig S:ates of the South, and the independent whig movement for Mr. Web- ster is a sufficient explanation of the disaster. Whatever may be the result of this movement, if of Wall, street and the Castle Garden Union Safety Committee, for Mr. Webster, and any thing more then ges and humbug in the Webster demonstra- ster eloctoral ticket, and let the conservative whigs of Massachusetts, and all the Now England States, follow the example, and let the issue be what it mey, the Union and constitutional principles of Mr. Webster will be sustained, notwithstanding he and the President were both broken down by the overwhelming power of the Seward in terest in the Baltimore Convention. The principles of the Union and the constitution will be sus- tained, and tho arch agitator of the North will be frustrated in his ingenious policy for con trolling the executive government. He will be turned adrift, and we shall then see him and his agents exhibited tothe country in all tho hideous- ness of their true colors. We shall then see the cleven hoof of abolitionism, and the long sweeping tail of ‘ the higher law,” without even the thin disguises which are now employed to conceal them. In this view of tho subject, we are glad to see that there is some consistency of purpose among the conservative whigs of Massachusetis.

Mr. Goorge T.

No one can fail to appreciate the importauce of the issue which the publication, in France, of this treaty is calculated to evolve. It is a protestation of the three great northern powers against the sove- reign right of the French people to exercise the pri- vilege of electing their own ruler. It isthe pronwn- ciumento of antiquated despotism agains mo- | Prat of the White House. So mote it be. dern despotism, and it involves principles of human rights, the settlement of w precipitate a general continental war. Its effect in France will doubtless be to establish Louis Napoleon’s position more firmly than ever: and to arouse the spirit of the French people to re- sext the insult offered them by those sovereigns who presume to dictate whom they shall have as their ruler. The enthusiasm awakened throughout the French nation, after their first revolution, in 1792, and up to the fall of Bonaparte, by the interference ofthe allied powers of Europe, on behalf of the Bourbons, will be manifested anew in opposition to this modern holy alliance, and the consequence most probably will be the investiture of Louis Na- poleon with the imperial purple—the establishment of that Bonaparte dynasty which the Northern pow- ers are so anxious to avert, and the springing up of awar between France and those old despotisms, which may end in a universal crash to those prin- to be the basis of European order. Louis Napoleon will know how to profit by this manifesto of tho 20th of May, by making it the lever ofhis own elevation to the summit of bis ambition, and of evoking the martial spirit of the French people to teach these meddling sovereigns such a lesson as the elder Bonaparte gave them ouce before. The impending struggle in Europe will be, there-" fore, one, not between revolutionism and despotism, but between the two principles of hereditary and elective sovereignty—the one represented by Austria, Russia and Prussia, and the other by France. The French will not now, as they did ao gloriously in the wars of Napoleon, have to fight single handed against the allied forces of Durope, but will have merely to chastise these eupercilious powers, who may almost be said to have thrown down the gaunt- let. In this they will be cheered on and sustained by the people of Germany, Spain and Italy, them- selves aspiring for freedom, while Britaia will be forced, by her peculiar position relative to the U: States and France, to observe nevtrality. The in- ternal as well as the foreign relaiions of Kogland will force her to remain inactive in the confer the results of the late gener ection in that kingdom give a mere working majority to minis ters, which would preclude the possibility of their assuming an attitude unfavorable to progress and freedom. And without England in the lists against ber, France would show an imvingible front to all the powers of Europe besides The consequences which threaten to follow from the hostile position assumed towards Franee by Russia, Austria, and Prussia, may not develope themeelves immediately. But they will not the less certainly come. Lonis Napoleon is in no hurry to change the name and formula of the eway he row exercises over France. There is no difference, save in title, between Napoleon President and Napoleon Emperor. He hav a period of ten yeare to organize bir plans, and to consider bow beet he may carry out the promptings of his ambition, aud punish this regal triumvirate of the North for the hostile feel- ings they have manifested towards himself, his nome, and nation; and we may be eure that no fu vorable opportunity of gratifying one or both of these passions will escape his keen and veagefal ob- fervation, Sueb an opportunity may not oseur within & month, or within year; bat, eooner or later, the die will be east, and thon will commence the con- a9 ciples of hereditary sovereignty which they assert | | the sako of consistency and fair dealing with Mr. Webster, that his friends will nowturn their resolu- tions to some practical action. Finally, even if Mr. Webster should not be elect- ed, nor carried up to the House of Representatives, as the result of ihis proposed independent movement, he will still achieve a moral victory, so great and so important, that the whigs of Maesachusetts will be at no loss in determining where he is to go.

LECTURE ON THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE IN AMERICA, BY PRO+ FESSOR UPSON, OF HAMILTON COLLEGE, N.Y. Shortly after the bour appointed—hult past seven—a very genteel and pumerous audience assembled in the First frenytarian Chureb in Broad street, in anticipa- tion of the above mentioned lecture, which had bven an- nounced to be given there After a voluntary on the organ, the lecturers com- menced We were too apt to underrate the fanor and value of lexicographers; and it was said we should teach things and not words. but things and the names of them, or words. were so inseparabie, that when we knew the word. then we koew the thing; and it was solemn thought. that of ourselves, nothing would Temwn but our nawe to recell the idea of what we were. Who could afford to,piot from American Dictionaries, the word of three ey!lebles * Washington ?”? But words were not the names of things only. they were thoughts, ond we could not convey our thoughts without kaowing them. Having shown the importance of words or lan- guage. he come to the particular subject of this lecture —our own lapguoge. He then gave. ina very cloar and popvlar style. abirvory of the English language, from its inuoduetion by foreigners. the Toutonics, or Anglo Sax- ons. into Britain, when they drove the natives. or Celts. and their language. into the mountains of Scotland and Wales, and fastnesees of the wild Irish, where tiey still remained an obstacle to the progress of clyilization, This Avglo-Saxon bad been strangely preserved, for it was usual for conquerors to be sbsorbed into the popu- lation of the vanquished, and it bad become afterwards enriched by others—Danish, Lati Norman, French Modern German. and {talian Atter the Norman Con- uest. it seemed doomed to bé eradicated ; but William the First acquired it. though Henry Second. 100 years afterwards. was obliged to have a Saxon address inter- preted to him. ‘There were tben three languages in Eng- land. The court spoke French. the clergy Latin, and the people Saxon ; and ultimately. as they would in every thing else. the people hud tbe «way. and the Anglo Saxon language Lived. ‘The first specimen we had of written Englirk. was in a proclamation. to the people of Hunt- ingdon. in the thirteenth century. by Henry Third The Norman.

(Laughter) It required, of course, a long F€rics of years to moder this rude tongue into a len- uuge. It could not be done of course, until they had a terature. and then the necessity was found. From the ime of Elizabeth to that of Charles the First, the pre- ailing diction war derived from the Latin, aa was to be teen by the writings of Milton and his contemporaries. After the restoration of Charles the Second, there was nothing but ily ningless vulgarities, and we were tickened with their “ain’ts” and “don'ts” Butthe next age brought great additions, and the English Dictionary Lecame like our own country—a place of refuge for the ctevery clime, It was language which, in the t century.two hundred miiliows of people would ep Its characteristics were copiousness; he main- tained it was, for in Webster's Dictionary there were seventy thousand words; whereas the Chinese had but three bundred ond tity in all their langage, which they. by variation in sound mado represent many things and idess. He related sowe curious and ludicrous difficulties the missionaries got into, by not thorough! understanding these nice distinctions We had no euel obstacle ; we did not, in daily use, resert to moro than one-tixth part of our store and the mixture was so beau- tifolly blended and knit together. as to be appropriately called by—one word We bad no less than thirty words which tignified different phases or degrees of anger, ‘There were several words that bad a deceat sound ia ua tip words. which would have a different effect in Saxon. ‘A young lady would think different, if we sald, on swarm day. * we were in a profuse perspiration.” and used the Latin-derived term, than if we used the plein Sax. on. apd said, “we were all in a sweat.” (Laugh. ter) Yet the same idea would be presented. Lo be “drunk” would be vulgar, but to be“ in- toxicated ” or “inebriated” excusable. (Laughter.) But «me thonght Lecause they got big Latin words, they bad pot hod of big thoughts. Nothing couid give a greater idea of the copiourness of our language. than to com pare the writings of Johnson with those of Swift—in ‘the rame age—or Adam Smith with McCauley; and Car- liste with Irving—nnd faocy the sume language could produce ruch different styles of expre-sing similar ideas, We thought, too. it was harmourour—in spite of By- ron’s satire. in “Be Ppo, “on bis own language, in eompli- ment to the [tatian. in which he speaks of “Our on rough, harsh, and gutters), Which we're oblixed to hive, and spit, and «putter a No ove cou'd contend it was uot bacmonioes, who had read the beautitul parsages in Campbell aud Moore; or heard the eloquence of a Daniel Webster.
