At the present crisis 9. rayetery appears to hang over the political affaics of Europe and America, and the destinies of t!ae O!d World and the New seem linked together hoy a marvellous concatenation of events and circesastanocs, ideas and principles, | in a way that may mot at ence strike the superficial | obeerver, but whick has a meaning of deep import | for the student of fistoryand human nature, who takes a keen survey of tke pelitical condition of mankind, looks beneath the surface of things, and reads the future in the present and the past. In Europe ali is chaog, with a single exception. Mhere is nothing fixed or permanent in England, ‘France, Italy, Spain, or the German States. Fngland no party has sufficient power to govern the country. Its political conditiva {3 confused, unset- tled, and uneatisfactory to all classes. France is | what the next change may be in that pation is | hidden from mortal ken; but it is evident that it | must pass through the throes of other revolutions before its form of government has assumed consis. to canvass the whole country, and make throe or four stump speeches every day, in support of his own claims to the Presidency, one of his subalter is instantly taken to task fer raising his veice in behalf ofa rival candidate. Great times, these. Gen. Scott, yesterday, returned to Washington, and made a epeech, probakly the last during the present campaign. e last accounts from Florida render it certain that the democratic candidates for Governor and Congressman have been elected by about two hun- red majority. The leading whig paper of Cleve- land now acknowledges that even on the general result for Congress in Ohio, the democratic ma- rity is nearly five thousand. At the same time, ‘special care is taken by the same journal not to mention the tremendous democratic majority on the Btate ticket. Political excitement appears to be increasing in tency and enduring strength. Italy is like a sleeping yoleano—like its own Vesuvius—at any moment the | ava may burst forth from its bowels in a fiery | deluge. Spain, feeble, imbecile, tottering, knows not lasting peace ; and its present condition is like | the troubled fevered sleep of a sick man’s dream, | destined to awaken ere long to agony, and, it may | be, the pains of diseolution. Austria, Prussia, and | the other German States, are like a treacherous | sea inthe portentous pause before the tempest, or | the quiet before the heaving earthquake. The | combustible materials are within, and soon | the rumbling sound will be heard, and the | tremer will be felt. All these countries are ina | state oftransition, like the earth at the Creation— | according to the Mosaic account—when it was | | “without form and void, and darkness rested upon the face ofthe deep.” Beauty, and order, and har- \ either politica or religton. Beth powers ary thus | see wio will do most for the advancement of the | tr iciams and plebeians only gave additional stimulus public. | Ta | | civil and religivay Yberty is established on a firm which reached Boston yesterday. The C. was dis | end immoverale Nasis; in the other, civil and reli- | tM which we publich to-day, in relation to the un- | Bious abcolutivm is a fixed fact. In the one, the | People are sovereign in political power, and in reli- | 8100.3 matters every one thinks amd acts as he | Plvases; im the other, the will of the dospot is the | ‘aw, and no person is permitted te think at all upon Jef free and at heisure to pursue their schemes of aggrandisement, and to induige the nesural instinct ‘oi man for the acquisition of wealth, territory, and fower. Inthe United States, it is true that local | ‘and sectional questions sometimes agitate the pub- lic mind; but they are made subordinate to the great idea of progross, und so far from retarding it, they only udd fueito the-flameofambition. The different partées and their leaders all vie with each other to glory of the commen country, and the reaultis, that the chariot wheels of pregress are accelerated by par’ y strife. It was the same in the ancient re Pu'plic of Rome. The contentions between the pa. t e the ambition of her generals and statesmen, and domestic feuds were swallowed up by the military pession; hero, who hed just added a new province to the empire, was a holidzy pastime, which quelled the voice of sedition. Both Russia end the United | States are marching onward, each in its own way, | dividing the world between them, and each appro- priating the nations contiguous to itself. But while they are both pursuing the same policy, and both acting out the drama of annexetion upon a grand ‘scale, they are antagonistic in their principles of | government; and the success of the United States will operate, in an indirect manner, but with mighty efficacy, in checking the aggressive career of Russia in Europe, and in raising up © spirit of resistance to the encroachments of the Czar. The democratic elective principle—‘‘ the people the true source of legitimate power’—will be roused into action, and will be pitted in mortal antagonism agains: the hereditary divine right principle of autocracy ; and every new victory, every fresh accession of area er power te the United States, will inflame the demo- cracy of the Old World with hopes of similar suc- cess. Under the influence of these incentives, they will be stimulated to exertion, and extort conces- sions from their respective governments. Every day they will be making advances, and the strug: gle between absolutism on one hand, and liberty on the other, will become fierce and deadly at last. Whichever side fulters must go down, and for years upon years al) Europe must become either republi- can or Cossack. The United States cannot, and will not, interfere directly in the conflict. It would the triumphal entry of 2 conquering | Dations in such cases. Now, this narrow view of ment and Capt, Porter—Highly Important. Our special telegraphic despatch from Washing- settled difficulty between the Crescent City and the Cuban authorities, is of the highess importance T'rom the tenor of this despatch—of the correctness of whick we have no doubt—it appears that the government does not sanction the high grouod taken by Captain Porter in his protest against the exdasion of the ship under his command from the port of Havana, but substantially justifies the con- ‘duct of the Spanish authorities. Captain Porter ‘is called, accordingly, to Washington, to be in- structed in the true principles of international law in the premises, and of our commercial stipulations with Spain. Mr Kennedy, the Secretary of the Navy, (for we presume he is the expounder of the law in this mat- ter,) takes, as we regret to be informed, the same view of the case of the Crescent City as the free soil Evming Pest of this city, and the Journal of Commerce, justifying the repeated outrages upon the Crescent City, on the ground that the State of South Carolina exercises a surveillance over sus- pected or obnoxious outside persons, equally rigid and despotic, as well as from the common usages of the subject betrays either great ignorance of the real issue, or a disposition on the part of our cabinet to evade it. What is the real issue? Not that the Spanish au- thorities have not the right to exclude suspected or ebnoxious persons from entering the harbor of Ha- vana, or apy other Spanish harbor. Not at all. But the real question is, have they, in view of ex- cluding an obnoxious or suspected individual, the right to demy the entrance of an American vessel into port, thus obstruc:ing the business of thou- sands of citizons, and driving numerous innocent and uneuspected passengers back again to sea? That is the question. Are our treaty stipulations with Spaineubject to the will or caprice of the Captain General of Cuba? Does his word rise above the common rights secured to commerce by the laws of nations? If he can exclude one vessel on acsount of an objectionable person on board, may he not ex- elude every ship which sails under the United States flag, and declare the Island of Cuba, as far as we are concerned, in a state of non-intercourse? Why not? But if he were to do it, would it not be clearly acasus belli? And what, upon the same excuse, is the difference in principle between tho exclusion of one hip, or a hundred, or a thousand? Tn South Carolina, when a vessel from Havana or elsewhere arrives with a free negro among the crew, he is taken ashore, and kept in confinement while the ship is in port, to prevent his tampering with the slave population, which are so numerous, especially in Charleston, as to make it important, not be her duty or her interest todo so. But the | influence of her example will be powerful in cheer- ing on the democracy to battle and victem. And it is in this way, and not by American intervention, that the oppressed nations of Europe may become “* redeemed, regenerated, and disenthralled, by the genius of universal emancipation.” The democratic party in the United States con- tribute far nfére to this result than the opposite party, for they are the party of progress; it is under their eway that all the acquisitions of territory have been made; and this is the secret of their uniform success whenever they unite. ‘Their principles are founded on human | nature, and are broad, expansive, and rational, | appealing to the sympathies and instincts of the whole people. They are the same principles which made the Roman republic the mistress of the world. The whigs, on the contrary, commit a fatal blunder in narrowing their policy to tariffs and banks, internal improvements, and other isolated questions, in which’ only classes of men take an in- | terest. Human passions and all history are against them. Hence it is that the European population in the United States, driven from their native land by | poverty oppression, to seek an asylum and a home in this great republic, fraternise and coalesce | with the democrats, and not with the whigs. The | American democratic party, therefore, without | knowiag it, are doing more to advance the cause of | republicaniem in Europe than both parties combined could do by the most active intervention, backed by aJl the arms and resources of the country. What- ever may be the result of the coming struggle in the Old World, the United States cannot be affected by it. Onward, onward, is the nation’s destiny, and no human power or combination of powers can ar- rest its prog} | | Tue Anr Unron—Important DECISION OF THE Court or ArpEats —We have received intelligence from Albany, giving us a summary of the long expected decision of the Court of Appeals upon the | constitutionality of the Art Union, brought before | that tribunal in consequence of a suit instituted by | Mr. Attorney Blunt, demanding a confiscation of | the property of the association to the public insti- tutions of this city, on the ground of its being a lottery, and illegal.

Horace Mann, the free soil whig Congressman from the Fourth district of Massachusetts, has openly repudiated the Seott and Graham ticket, and givés as his reason for so doing, that no honost man can consistently support the nominees, and at thesame time ‘ execrate and spit upon” the _plat+ form of the Baltimore Convontion. Horace warmly urges his free soil brethren to go for Hale and Julian. Particular attentien is directed to the very curious and interesting information contained in the letters we publish from our Quebee correspondent. The writer touches upon all the important questions of the day, including annexation and reciprocity, General Scott and the whig party of the North, the tory party of Canada, &o We learn from Albany that the Court of Appeals have at laet agreed that it is against the law of this State, forbidding lotteries or games of chance, for the New York Art Union to distribute its pic- tures by lot, but that the paintings are not forfeit. ed to the use of the peor by having them thus offered In the United States Circuit Court, now in session at Albany, the counsel for the rescuers of the fu- gitive slave Jerry have been for the last two days engaged in endeavoring to quash the indictments, on the alleged ground of irregularity. Judge Nel- won yesterday decided against one of the points raised, but the parties instantly brought forward ano- ther. Gerrit Smith ie acting as one of the counsel for his friends the rescuers, but Senator Seward seems to have abandoned them—or, at-all events, is not on the ground. How’s this? The jury in the case of George Cottingham, charged with robbing the Albany Post Office, were @iecharged, after being out thirty-six hours. Nine fare reported to have been iu favor of convicting, and three for acquitting the prisoner. He will have another trial next December. We publish to-day the last of the evidence taken 4n the groat suit of the American Print Company, against Mr. Lawrence, formeriy Mayor of New York “The action arises out of the memorable conflagra. tion of 1835, and was orought to recover the loss sustained in consequence of the explosion by the | only whets the appetite for more, and the mighty | mon fund, and every other fund that has disup- Mayor's directions, of the store house containing the plaintiff’s property. The jury in the case have returned a verdict in favor of the “defendaut The evidence containg the fullest and most graphic n0- count of this appalling fire that has ever been pub- liehed, and is well worth reading and preserving. Property to the value of ten thousand dollars was yesterday destroyed at West Troy. Sixty-five horses aro included in the lors. The British brig Senhora, which recently sailed scems exempt from convulsion and change. All | the rest are volcanic, with France, the great crater | in the centre, connected with each, and indicating, at every eruption, the troubled condition of its neighbors. The mixed forms of government have been | tried and found wanting. Limited monarchy and the parliamentary system have failed in England, France, and Prussia, and limited despotism hag failed in Austri It seems that only the extremes can command permanent success. Amidst all this jarring of the political elements, the only two nationsin the world who have fixed | and permanent institutions are Russia and the United States. They are the only two powers who are making progress, and extending their influence and dominion. The rest are either stationary or retrograde. It is a singular spectacle, this: two great nations—one in the Old World and the other in the New—xsot only different in their principles and form of government, but at | extremes as opposite as the antipodes, yet both ad- vancing upon one common principle, and threaten ing to absorb the rest of the world. They are both actuated by the principle of aggrandisement, which | was the great spring of action in the old Roman republic, which led to all its conquests, annexations andextendedrule. Russia is extending her power and influence on every side. She hag got a slice of Poland and Gallicia, she wants Constantinople, and she is atruggling hard for the subjugation of Circassia. Pro- eress is her grand idea. The United States is pro- gressing in the same way—Wost and South she is | enlarging her borders, and every day adding to her | already vast territory. Within a few years, Texas | and California bave been numbered with her stars, and the acquisition of Cuba, Mexico, and Canada, is only a question of time and convenient policy. Nor | will the onward career of her power and progress be | confined within the limits of this continent and its adjacent islands. The Pacific ocean, with its teom- | ing isles, has been opened to her enterprise, and | the riches of the Indies, China and Japan, and the | gold of Australie, exceeding the wonders of Cali- fornia itself, will lure her on; the eagle scents the prey afar off, and its keen, unblinking eye, as it soars to the sun, still “exrelsior !”’ directs its unerring | #woop to the quarry beneath—every new aequisition | hunter, ever and anon, looks ahead for new game The love of power and of spoils grows by what it feeds upon. These two powers—Russia and the United States —sre not occupied with any distracting thoughts about the form of their governments. These are sot tled and fixed. In the one it isa model republic, and the only question is who shall rule for the time being, in thename of the people; in the other it is a model despotism—a perfect autocracy—and there | upon which he brought his action for the confisca- | tion of the Art Union, and by which he sought to deprive the innocent subscribers of that which | rightfully belonged to them. Another remarkable | feature in this decision, as far as we can understand it, is, that the Court of Appeals have sustained the | legal moral and philosophical views expressed on | this subject, from the first to the last, in the columns | | of the New Yorx Herarp. | Let us come to particulars. According to this | decision of the Court of Appeals, the original | | in the highest degree, to keep them clear of abo- jition emissaries. But the ship is not excluded; she | enters, discharges her passengers and cargo, and | remains in port till she is ready to sail, when the ob- | noxious person is returned to the ship. The prac- tice bas been, among all friendly nations, to dis- | crimimate between the ship and any obnoxious per- sonon board. For example, a year or two since an American vessel entered the port of Havre, with an obnoxious American socialist on | board-- Albert Brishane, one of the Tribune | school; but although the socialist emissary | Was not permitted to land, the ship was not excluded from the harbor. So, too, with the United States steamship Mississippi, when she brought the great Magyar from his exile in Turkey. She was permitted to teuch freely at the different ports of the Mediterranean; but Kossuth, her revo- | lutionary passenger, was watched with some vigi- | lance. At Marseilles, it will be recollected that | although there was some danger of his exciting an | émeute amorg the inflammable materials collected in that town, from his presence on board ship, the | ship was not ordered away. The fact is, Mr. Secretary Kennedy must meet the issue in regard, not to the exclusion ef Mr. Smith, but to the driving of the Crescent City from | the harbor of Havana. The general belief is that that act was an outrage upon our commerce and our flag. It is, in a word, the duty of the government to demand an apology in this matter, and to bring the question to a solution, by insisting that the presence of Mr. Purser Smith, on board an American ship, | ehall not exclude the ship from entering the ports of Spain, at the hazard of a rupture. The deck of an American vessel is, in law, American soil. It is to be hoped that Mr. Secretary Kennedy will not for- get that fact. It is algo to be hoped that if Captain Porter is permitted to return with his ship to Ha- vana, it will not involve the dismissal of Mr. Pur- ser Smith from the vessel. His presence on board is necessary to a proper settlement of the case. We shall see how it will end. Tue E1rcnrn Conaresstonat, Districr—Mastér Brooxs Disnep.—Our readers will perceive, from | the circumstantial correspondence between General Webb, of the Cowrier, and Mr. Mayor Kingsland, which we publish to-day, that James Brooks se- cured his re-nomination for Congress, from the whigs of the Eighth district, upon the express under- ste nding that he would decline it, with the view of affording his party an opportunity of expressing their preference for Mr. Kingsland. We have no doubt that this arrangement, detailed with so much minuteness in this correspondence, did actually take place as described, in every particular; and the facts lead almost irresistibly to the presumption, that Brooks intended, from the first, to hold on to the nomination, if his plausible device to obtain it should be successful. It is in keeping with the character of the man. Hig contract with the Castle Garden Union Safety Committee—his noisy cham- | charter is pronounced legal and _ constitu- tional. This, we always contended, was correct | and proper; but the constitution drawn up by | some of the first managers of the institution, and af- terwards inadvertently emuggled through the Legis- | Jature—this constitution, under which the lottery | ‘was set up, is deelared to be all wrong, and contrary | | to the laws and the constitution of the State. | Again: The property in pictures, and the property | collected from subscribers during the last yoar, | amounting to upwards of $60,000, and the pro- viously accumulated property, amounting to $40,- 000--making in all $100,000—is declared to belong | to the subscribers, who are innocent of any at- tempt to violate the constitution, and therefore the suit is set aside, as unfounded and untenable, and contrary to reason and law. We shall publish the decree of the Court of Ap- peals at length, as soon as we obtain a copy, includ- ing, perhaps, some of the opinions of the separate Judges. It forever settles in this State the impor- tant question that has puzzled Judge Ducr, Judge Edmonds, and the District Attorney, for many years past. It settles the question whether a lottery is a lottery, and nothing else. It is also decided by the same high authority, that the property collected in the last y@r, to the amount of 000, and also the back propéiy accumula‘ed to the amount of $ 40,- 000, belongs to the subscribers, who are all pro rata proprietors. In this condition of things, what is best to be done? What is the proper course to be pursued? Wo advise the proprietors to call a meeting, to organize for the reform of the institution, and for the protection of so vast an amount of valuable property from such a destiny as attended the Hungarian fund, the Irish Slievegam- peared. By the highest decision in this State, it is determined that the present managers, and some of their predecessors, have violated the law. They ought not, therefore, to be trusted by the sub- scribers of the Art Union. On the contrary, imme- diate measures ought to be taken to put them out of office, and to put others in their places who will make the institution efficient, on legal, moral, and constitutional principles, to the great advantage of art and artists, and the satisfaction of the general Loom this port for London, was abandoned at sea on | is no question about who shall rule—the Emperor | public. tn Whe does thawe teh mF emgage Pages reve’ hee | pionehip of the South at Washington—his bluster- ing defence of Fillmore and Webster, and his cool | deeertion of all concerned when it ceased to be pro- fitable to stick by them, is all of the samo cloth as this trick of humbugging the friends of Kingsland into a complimentary nomination. Our wise and agacious contemporary of the Courier says, with tears in his eyes, that he feels sorry at the dis closures which he has made, because they will most likely result in the logs of the whig member of the Eighth district. We should not at all be surprised if this exposé wore to effect the election of Mr. Cut- ting. General Webb is sorry, very sorry—we dre sorry—the Mayor of the city is sorry—Brooks is sor- ry, or soon will be. It isa sorry piece of business all round. Congressional Nom! VERMONT.

To the lady we handed fifty dollars, for which we got the following acknowledgment :— New Youx, 13th Ociober, 1852 Received, of James G Benuett, the sum of fify dol- lars, for the benefit of the * Amer Femate Guatdian Society. or Home of the Friendless,”’ being part of of $250 sent from London to intluence improps American press. but appropriated to benevolent objects, instead thereof H.

J G, Bennett, Es :— Dean Sin—{ promptly respond to your benevolent suggestion, and respectfully claim, in bebaif of my deser v- ing poor countrymen and women, in the approaching winter, a portion of the ‘ Bribery” fund which you have set spart for the purposes of charity, Yours, very res pectfully, RICHARD BELL, President of Friendly Sons of St. Patrick. A venerable Roman Catholic priest, striving in the face of difficulties to erect a small temple for his humble flock to worship in, at Windsor Locks, Con- necticut, prayed us to make an appropriation to his building fund. We conceived it tobe such a cave as was deserving of a share of that which was sent for such an unholy purpose. Perhaps we may have, by thus applying it, been indirectly bringing a benediotion on the graco!ess heads who planned thé villany. Well, even so be it—we are sure they need something of the kind. We append the clergyman’s letter:— Winpson Locks, Oct. 20, 1852, Jams Gorvow Bexnert, Esq.— Dear Bir—I observe through the columns of your in- corruptible Henatp. of which I am an attentive reader, thet some British bribery and corruption money has been sent to you for the purpose of corrupting the press, at the head of which you stand. No small blame to you, but immortal horor for not using it as they wished you todo, The inhabitants of this town are now building Roman Catholic church. and are now collecting funds for that purpose. and would gindly and thankfully receive apy sum to aid them in accomplishing that object Mr. D. Persee is here these two days past. I refer you tohim how much a place of Catholic worship is wanting here. You can depend on his word; he is a benign benefactor to us here; he will inform you of the progress of the church, and our wants. Wishing you healch, prosperity and happinees, I remain yours, sincerely. & JAMES SMYTH, Pastor. From the Chaplain of “the Seamen's Retreat,” on Staten Island, we algo received the following let- ter, applying for a portion of our bribery fund, and to this benevolent institution we awarded forty dol- Jars:— Sramnn’s Rerneat, Oct. 15, 1852, Mr, Bennett :— Deak sin—I noticed in the Herat of to-day, that you have not as yet disposed of all the money which you hold —under such strange circumstances—for charitable pur- poses. I have a plea to submit to your consideration. in favor of the sailor. Ihave been laboring for three years tocollect a library in this institution, for the use of the Sick. Ihave a small collection of books. but we stand greatly in need of more My interest in the matter may probably influence my judgment; but it does appear to me. this would be a very judicious expenditure of a smell portion of the means in your hands, Hoping this may meet with your favorable consideration, I am sir. yours truly, D. EB. FRAMBES, Chaplain of Seamen's Retreat. Staten Island. To the Mariners’ Female Industrial Society—as we take the initials to mean—we also appropriated the sum of twenty-five dollars,in response to the following note, making sixty five dollars in all for the seamen— Mrs. C. W. Hawking. 26 Vesey street, with compliments to Mr Bennett, that the Mariners’ F. I. Society may be remembered among others, in the distribution of the funds mertioned in to-day’s Hrxaun. Octonen 16th, 1852. We still had fifty dollars to dispose of, and that we applied to a fund in which we needed no appli- cation to interest us. We mean to the fund of the Fire Department. This praiseworthy institution is one which appeals to the gencrosity and gratitude of all citizens, and we were too well aware of its powerful claims to need any letter in its behalf. Tt will be thus seen that we have distributed in charity all the funds in our hands for such purposes, amounting to the sum of $265. The fifteen dollars excess on the British bribe came into our hands in the following manner: Five dollars was sent to usa few months back by an admirer of a very handsome and talented danseuse at Niblo’e—Mad’ lle Drouet—as a sort of douceur to procure a puff for that lady. We gave her a notice worth $500, and called upon her beggarly admirer to send us the balance of $495 to be devoted to charitable purposes, but he was too mean todo so. Another five dollars was hand- ed tous by a gentleman, not long since, under the following circumstances: He and some friends had hired a hack carriage for a drive about the city, and the driver demanding an oxtortionate fare, they brought him before Mayor Kiegsland, who decided against the driver, and confiscated the fare, which was sent to us for the poor, by the gentlemen who hired the hack. The other five dollars was sent to us all the way from San Franciaco to pay for a gross- Ty libellous article which the writer requested us to publish. We therefore thus present our account current to the public: RECAPITULAYON. Debtor Creditor.
