Upon glancing at tho names of those who took part in the proceedings o¢ these temperance gatherings, our New York women appear to have perfectly eclipsed the Massachtisetts men in point of talent, oratoreal ability, &s. The steamer Francis Skiddy, on her trip to Albany, last Thursday evening, came in collision with, and instaut!y sunk, the schooner Jonathan Boerum, near Verplank’s Point.

Gen, Scott’s Diplomacy—His Despotic and Contracted Policy In Mextco. The egotistical speech of Gen. Soott at Sandusky, concerning his refusal to aoce pt a bonus of a million of dallars and an annual ealary of two huadred and fifty thousand dollarsa year, to become tha President or Emperor of Mexico, is attracting very contideruble attention throughoat the couatry. And well itinsy. I¢isaremarkable speech in every print isclosures are truly most astonish ral in-chief of the army, a candidate for the Presidency, on an electioncering expedition atthe expenso of the public treasury, boastingly appounces that while in Mexico he assumed the powers of a dictator, and set himeelf up as the eu- | preme Jaw, in utter gard of the govern- mintat Washington, and in open contemp: of its policy in the prosecution of the war. Firet, he confosses that the Mexican authoritios and people, to a very great extent, desired tho an- | rexation of thoir country to ours, aud thet the bril- liant offer to himeelf, of the dictatorship, was designed to facilitate the great object of annexation Is is curious, very curious, that Gen tt should nover have made a public disclosure of these facts uatil it beenme converient for electioncering purposes in | Ohio. He next exys thot he refused these over- turcs because—‘'] was opposed to mixing up that race with ourewn,” and because the Mexieans avo wongrelsend mixed broeds, ofa very iaforior do Seription. Now, a8 ¥ understand eur goveroment, the Pra- ident of the United States is Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy; and every officer of the army is eurject to his ordess, through the War Dopartmeat or otherwice The expedition of General Ssott from Vera Cruz to Mexioo was thus com nencod aad | Prosceuted under orders and instructions from the warcftico, But while he was giventho cemmand of the army, the diplomatic businers of the oaia- gned to other hands. We know protested and quarreiled against the mission of Mr. Tiist, with terrible indignation, but with very little dignity; yot he finally came to terms, aod the Ga- eral and diplomat left Pucbia for Mexioo om the very beet understanding in the world. The secret of this reconcijistion is now disclosed Mr. Trist had tubstantially.turned over his diplomatic fuse. tions into the hands of Gen Scott. It must beso— otberwire, the General, in receiving his magnifvoat offer from the Mextcane, would have referred thom to the epecial ambassador having chargs of such the bend ef the army to submit the propositions of the Mexicans, in bebslf of annexation, to the govern- ment at Woshingten, which alone had tho legal porer to acecpt or reject overtures for the an- rexation of an empire to the United States. Yet General Scott, with the coolness of the Emporor of Russia, enys that he was opposed to the aanexation of Mexico, because of the inforiority of its popala tin, and therefore rejected their overtures at one; thus assuming to himself, and monepolizing, no euch thingsexieted, all the powers of the P sident and bis Cabsnet, and of Congress, combiaod If euch has been the dictatorial conduct of Genoral Beett, at a military commander in Mexieo, waut limit can we asign to his probable usirpations o power as the President of tae Uaiced States? Whore will be the line of safety to Congress, the Statics, or the sovereignty of the people, with euch @ military ebieftain at the head of the government? The poeple we doubt not, will auswer very satisfactorily ou the second of November. But the Seward-Scott organs are making Gonera! Scott's refusal of a million of dollars bonas, and two hundred and fifty thousand doilara a year sa'a- ry, a matrerof the most prodigious patriotiem The offer wae traly splendid; but it remiads us very for- cibly of the story of the two fishorinen in the bay of They were caught out ina storm, and ia versel, One of them, asa last resort, began to pray to the Holy Virgin, and ewid that he would make a pro- tent of a pair of golden candlesticks, a silver ora cifix, and a box of wax cnadlos,"to the churoh, if they were only permitted to reach the land in safo ty. The other man, somewhat eurprised at tho coo! impudence of bis companion, admonished him in a whisper, that be was not worth tho first red cent. ‘Never miad,” said he, “if the Holy Mother is fool enovgh to believe us, it is all that we care ebeut ” Bo, if General Soot had been fool enoagh to accept the splendid offer of the Mexioans, though it might bave rerulted in the easy and quict acqui- tition of the whole of Mertoo, his salary and bonas would bave ecded in moonshine.

But be says:—"I was not in favor of the aunex- ation of Mexico to my own country. Mexico hrs about eight million of “inhabitants, and out of those eight millions there are not more than one million who are of pure European blood. The Indinas and miacd races constitute about seven millions, Thoy are exceedingly inferior to oar own. As a lover of my country, I waa opposed to mixing up that race with our own” Very plansible, but not #atis- fastory by sny means. The Mexioan population is vot inferior to the swarms of runaway nogroes and Tudians which make up so large an item of the Ca padian population; avd the resources of wealth in Mexico are incaleulably greater than those of the | frozen regions of Canada. Yet General Scott is in | favor of the annexation of Canada, but utterly hostile to the incorporation of Mexico into this Union. Why £01 Is it because the annexation of Canada would overbalance the South, and broak down the institution of slavery by legislation or by fire and sword, while the acquisition of Moxico would only give further security to the South and stability to the Union? The selection of Saudusky for theae Mexican disclosures would seem to warrant this conelusion as the idea intended to be conveyed by General Scott to bis abolition hearers He “ Jove that rich Irish brogue,” and the accout of the bard jaw breaking German fs * music to his ears;” but ho cannot ondure the bastard Spanish of Mexico. He can welcome the free negroes of Canada into the Union, but cannot * mix in” with the Mexicans He isa statesman of that school Beward was right in his map, We must rojoct Moxico as a free gift, because Gen. Scott is opposed to ‘* mixing up that race with our awn.” Away with sush trash. Tho truth is, General Scott’s hostility to the Mexicans is but another ver- sion of his native American doctrines. A few years ago he was equally hostile to ‘mixing up” with the Dutch and [rish—he was “fired with indignation” at their influeneo in our elections, and in favor of subject- jpg them. and a)l otheraliens, to a totalexcluzionfron tho ballot box, excepting only such as might serve a term in the army or navy. This narrow and con- tracted policy, it appears, cost this government the loss of Mexico. We might have had it, with all ita wealth in minerals, agricultural resources, aud valuable timber, including tho Isthmus of Tehuan- tepeo, and all the other transit routes across the tepublic, between the two oceans, and all without trouble or further warfare, had not General Scott been opposed to it, because of the inferiority of the Mexiean population to ours. The results of his telf- conceit and folly are, that a question of war is now pending betweon ug and Mexico in ro-pect to the Tehuantepec right of way—that British in- rigues and British influence are predominaat in Mexico—that /illibusteros are ravaging the country along the Rio Grande, while hordes of merciless saveg cs are burning, killing. and pluadering through- out the western departments; and to crown the dis- estrous eondition of the country, famine and in” horrible state of things cannot long continue. Mexico, prostrated in the dust, degraded and fallen to the last degree of helplossnese, will soon b2 left no o*her alternative than that of 2 Colonial de- pendency of Groat Britain or of annexation to the United States. The work so nearly acoomplishod by our armies in the late invasion was thrown away, and years of diplomacy, and, perhaps, of war, may now bo required to repair the diplomatic blan- | dering and contracted views of our military dic- tator in M cxico. With respect to General Soott’s partisan com- plaint upon the stump—that he was stinted of troona | while tho war continued, but was overwhelmed with reinforcements when the war was ot an end—it will, probably, be attended to by ex-Secretary Marcy, | whoee reputationas the late head ofthe War Depart | ment is thus direotly assailed. If ‘* Old Chippewa” | has forgottenthat ** basty plate of soup,” and the | heavy castigation that followed it, we shail not | pretend to insure him against the consequences. | We havo only to submit, in conclusion, that his | narrow: sighted and dictatorial proceedings ia Mexi- co, fas more even than his silly, wisby washy, namby-pamby speeches on his tour in soarch of ‘that rich Irish brogue,” prove his disqualifications for the weighty and momentous business, foreizn | and domestic, of the next administration. | Wax. Srreer Book keerixng —Any one not con- versant with the internal mec'inery by which the | merchants, bankers, financiers and brokers of Wall street transact their immonse business and keop their accounte, would, in the simplicity of his | heart, imagine that it mast be oxtremoly intrica‘e, | and established on euch a mechanical system as to insure the most porfect accuracy and correctacss | Corps of book-keepers and assistants, tellers, au li- tors, and casbiors, would seem to be a porfect defence sgainst tho slightest errors of omission or commission, and render the embezzlomont of the sum of twen y- five cents, without immediate detection, an impos- sibility. Bat those who entertain eush an ides of the science and practice of book-keeping in Wall street, deceive themeelves most egregiously; and, for the purpose of culighconing them on that point, wo have only to refer them to the interesting case now uuder investigation before the police magistrates, tonching the abstraction from the funds of one of our Wall street banking establishments, of a more trifle, in the neighborhood of a quartor million of dollers. The evidence taken in this case is vory instructive, as giving an ecaposé of the manner in which the business of the bankiag and mercan'ile firms of this city is managed, and the facts may b® studied with profit and adraatage by all classes of the community. The very possibility of on emplsyé in a ec cial establishment draw—without the cognizance of the flem—fuads amounting, in the aggregate, to $220,000, ani to indulge habitually in the practios wilkout detest on, isthe best evidenco that can be addaved of the tuperiority of the system by which the books of eich mmer- tinizing, intelligent porsonages must tho hoads and book-keopers of thas firm bs; and wo thiak choir cotemporarics of Wall street could not do beter 4 leather medal. bearing suoh design and inseripcion 8s would commemorate thoir poculiar qaulicios of stupidity and ignoranos.

The fact is, however, that noithor tho bankers nor merchants of Wall stroct know their busines», or are adequate to manngo it intelligently Taolr only security seo ns to consist in tho honesty of their employés. Thoir system of book-keeping sooms ouly to invite to the commission of frauds. Way don’t they patronize some of the gontlomon who profess the mysteries of the art?

The establishueut of aa even- ing echool for merchants and bankers would be a capital epeculation for some poor [rivh pedagogue to evgege in. No doubt the suggestion will bo woted on. Mn. Wevsrrr’s Posttion.—Many of the sosial- ists of the Seward stripe, who support Gen Scott. are anxioue to know Mr. Webster's position in the present contest. His past history tells it. Mr. Webster was always oppoved to military men. Mr. Webster believed that Gen. Jackson was nnt for Provivent. He believed that Gon Harrison was unfit for President, He believed taat Gen )Taylor was unfit for President. He wae defeat firet, sed overruled by hie too easy nas hit own triends ‘p the two jntter.” Mr. new, therefore, determined to stard upon gino) prineipice, not only that the nomination of General Soot wae not fir to be mate, bat that he believes, ond the American people believe with Bim, ibat be is a capsionte not Ot be elected. re, and by beter is cipient revolutions are the order of the day. This | being able eystomatically to | concerns are kept Very sharp sighted, carcful, sern- | than to subscribe, and make thom a presentation of | din the | «old ori- | Annexation of Cuba, "The time has come that the fate of Cuba must be determined There is a poriod iu ths history of all nations when the interest of the world at large re- quires that their political status shall be definitely fixed. When that period camo for Mexis> and South Amoriea, they foll into the grasp of Spain—when that power struck for India, Great Britain planted her standard on every hill—when that day dawned for Algiers, it became & province of France—when that m¢ ment arrived for Poland, Russia, Austria, and Prussia, divided its disenoumbered fregments. That time has now come for Cuba, aniits fate must be decided Wo have had enough of pointless arga- ment, unprincipled buccar ecring, usele:a sympathy, and chivalrous but il] judged enterprise. We want *ometbivg more substantial now. Tho time hea come when wo must know exactly what is te be the nature of our future relations with Cubu—whother the vast commorcial treasure of that splendid island is to remain,in tho idle hands of Epaniarde—whether the Creoles are to be forever Holots—whothor inso- lent officials at Havana are to continue to insult our flag with impunity, or whether Cuba ig to falfil her nacural destiny, by becoming part and parvsel of the United Btates There cannot be a moment's doubt on the point. Cuba soust be ours, and at once. Every day which elapses adds fresh difficulties to the solution ofthe problem. We do not enter upon the consideration of this topic with angry or even excited feelings. *Tis from a calm, common sense viow of the matter, in all its bearings, commercial, political, and social, that wo advocate—and in doing so we are merely the expo- nents of public opinion—sho immediate annexation of Cuba. Of tho advantages which the States would derive from the possession of that island, we need xot apeak hore. Morchant, politician, and sol- der, alike deem it indispengable to our future greatness. We require it, as we required Calitornia and Oregon. Nor ig it more neeeseary to us than our government is to tho Creoles. Any ohange whioh would liberate them from tho iron ruie of Spain and tho hateful despotism of the Captain Gon- eral, would be gladly hailed by the colonists. It is utterly impossible that the present reign ef terror can last—the wholesale imprisonments—the garrote —the military exeoutions—aro symptoms of an ephemeral, a transition state, prosursors of 4 radi- cal and sweeping change. No change is possible but annexation to the States. Thie must be the culmi- nating point of Spanish opprossion and Cuban ser- vitude. It would be as difficult for Cuba to govern hertelf as it would be to conquer her independence. Writhe she must under the fetters of Spain until the United States lond asympathising hand The longer we retard ita profier, the more wrotched becomes the condition of the Creoles, and the loss valuable Every year which we allow to roll over without as- cepting what is offered w, and what we must even- tually obtain, deteriorates the value of tho gift, aud aggravates the sufferings of a people who are enti- tled to our pity and regard. Theee considerations have no claim to novelty. They have been in every one’s mouth for months— almost for yoars. The neces ity of annexing Cuba, on political as well as on humane grounds, has been denied by none; an opportunisy of offesting the character, bas alone beon wanting. That opportu- nity now presents itself. An American vessel—tho Cornelia—-with the American flag flying, has been boarded, in neutral waters, by tho Spanish authori- ties, foreed to bring to, searched, and the captain | ard two of the passengors carried ashore as prison- ers. Another American veese!—the Oresceat City— | Which eailed in ber usual eourse from this port for | Havana, bas been peremptorily expelled from that | port, without being allowed to land hor mails or passengers. No reparation or apology has boen tendered for these outrages cn our citizens and in- sulte to our flag. Here is ample provocatioa— abundant cause for severe punishment. We shall pass, in tho eyes of tho world, for the most spiritless people of the ago, if we permit sash unprovoked outrages to pass unnoticed; or if, failing a repara- tion proportionate to the injury, wo lack docisioa or Promptitude in preventing the possibility of its re- cur) epee. There never was a time when this country could better afford to invade Cuba. The treasury is ever- ceeding twenty millions, by the end of the yoar. millions. Tbe Creoles now pay to Spain about eight millions a year. They cou!d woll afford, if they were annexed—(and they would be but too happy to purchase freedom at the price)—to pay us twolve or fifteen millions a year to reimburse our expenses. England, which )ooks at our position to- warde Cuba with a jealous eye, and, totally forgot- ful of the pretexts on whieh she obtained possession of Gibraltar, Malta, and fifty other colonies, ex- the greed of the States, would doubtiess raize a ter- Jible clamor at the news of our landiog. Bat hor | citizens—the mercantile community—appreciate too keenly their own interests to adventure upon @nstead of Cuba, thas we wanted. John Bull will bluster, no doubt; but he cannot do without our trade; aud when we take Cuba, Although it grieve bim sore, The lack of pence full well he knows, Would trouble him much more, ~ He will be content to abuso us in a gentlemanly | way. At bottom, | that Cubs has fallen into the bands of people who can work her resources efficiently, and thus iodi- rectly extend the trade of Britain. France, too, Would be furious, and the most indignant remon- et-ances would be probably made by M. de Sartiges. But, without inquiring what weight ought to bo at- tached to the opinions of France either way, Prince | Louis Nepoicon has hia hande fall at home, and can- not afford time to quarrel with us. He knows that detected in the horizon at Paris, would be ths sigaal for a rally both of legitimists and of rouges. Until will venture to trouble his neighbors It is, therefore, in view of this extraordinary com- bination of favorable circumstances, that the Ameri- oan people bave resolved to bring the question to a final settlement. A thorough agisation throughout the country is now being commenced. Asaeinblies have been held in the South, which are a fair index of the state of fecliog there on the subject. A masg meeting ought to bo held hore this week, to take the sense of New York on the course to be pursued to- wards Cuba; it shoald be held independently of party, and we bave no doubt that the leading whigs aad democrats would unite inthe same view. Thore must be no ebrinking, no shirking the maia question, The Gordian knot must now be cut. We demand that Cuba be annexed to the United States, on the same grounds on which Groat Britain annexed her Indian colonics, France annexed Al- giers, Spain annoxed Mexioo, and Russia annexed her Polich dominions, because it is the interest of her trodden-down population that the free govern- ment of the United States be substituted for the tyranpical eway of the colonial authorities. We de- wand that Cuba be annexed, in accordance with the “historical provedents quoted above, because repeated appeals havc been made to va by the Creoles to lead them a helping hand in their struggle for emancips tion. We dowand that Cuba be annexed—always on the same principles that have gaided Groat Bai- tain, France Spain, aod Ruesia-- because it is woos sary to ut, both in e commercial ond military point of view— a vulunhle addition to our prodaving terri | tory, and arick market for our manufactures, not | Jowe than an essential link in the chain of oar At Jantio defences, we the key of tho Gulf of Mexico We downnd that Cuba be sonexed—still keeping the exemple of foreign nations be fare our eyes beoause, ip 60 doing, We wre werely anitelpating the necessary » of events-—hastening @ couraimetion which the wirest deem jncviteble—and becuse, at thts | particular moment, ito avuexation’ will neither in will the island prove when it falls into our possession. | fgetal i in on tho national | SR Se Wa Ome Ia (my emit OMG Rel. |e eee tasanahnoe relief, like the fall moon flowing with money; we shall have a enrplus ex- | Seglishmen will be well pleased | the first “epeck of war” with the States, which was | | he is more eecure of his own, it is not likely that he | EELS PES BE DI EE EE ST OCE IE DEDEDE SLO a ey others of a like character throughow! the Suuthera | States, and in a short time the whole coantry will be in a Diaze, unless the most ampte apology is made by the Cuban governmont for the indigaity attempted The coat of the expedition could not exceed fifsy | volve @ ruinous outlay of Sloodehed or money, nor disturb eur internal prosperity, nor endanger the peaceful relations of the United States with the powers of Europe. Finally, we demand that (uba be annexed, to show to the world that, like (reat Britain, Spain France, Russia, and other groat na* tione, though inexorably just in crushing lawless ag- gression, even on the part of our own citixens, the people of this conntry will not tamely submit to ia sult from abroad Cour's Anws.—In another part of to day’s Hux sup, we lay before our readers Mr. Dickerson’s argument in the eave of Samuel Colt against Young & Leavitt, of this city, for an infringement of the “repeating arm” patent, delivered last week in the Cireult Court of the United States. The rapidly sketched history of the life of Col Colt whichthe counsel giver, ie highly illustrative of the Ameriean character, and dis” ploys seme facts of which this eountry may be proud. The career of this remarkable man commenced in & New England factory, and ending in “' triumphant success und world: wide renown,” can find no paral- Jel in any otber country than this—and but few in this, The small beginning of his valuable inven- tion appears to have been made with a piece of wood and @ jack-knife—a Yankeo’s toole—with which, when he was a boy, Colt whittled out his first pistol. ‘Tho end of it, so far as it has yet gone, is found in the fact that Col Colt is now on his way to Eng: land, at the solicitation of the British government, taking with him twenty-five “live Yankeos,” and a large umount of American machinery, to con siroct his arms for that government in London Thisis certainly a grest triumph, and shows con eusively the immensy progress which American mechanical skilj has mado in a few years, thus to bo ablo to compete with the old estubliched shops of England in tho manufacture of arms—a manufac twe which that country hag hitherto protected by probibition, and brought to high perfection. The eceptre is fast departing from England, “ And westward the star of empire takes its way.” Other forcign governments have aleo showa Col. Colt high marks of their consideration, aud given him very substantial proofs of their appreciation of American genius. On one of his presents, a splendid diamond snufl box, containing 365 brilliants, sent him by the Sultan, and valued at $5,000, he was charged and paid dutics at this Custom House—an imposition which was rathcr more creditable to tho business capacity of Uncle Sam, than to his | liberality.: Musical.

The programme, from the over ture to the final rondo from Sonusmbula, was executed to tho largest tatiefaction of the house.
