The second letter treats of agriculture and politics, in a menver that indi of the one as of the other. Gen. Don Carlos de Alvear, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the Argentine confederation, near this government, died in this city on Tuesday Yesterday evening Mr. F. Campbell Stewart de- ‘ivered an oration at the apriversary meeting of tho New York Academy of Medicine, at the University, Washingtn equare, for which seo our report. Besides many columns of advertisements, our ia- side pages to day contain an abundance of highly entertaining and diversified reading, of some of which the annexed are merely the head::—Comau nications on the Fine Arts, and Promotions and Admissions in the Navy; the continuation of the Investigation relative to the proposed Broadway Railroad; Theatrical and Musical; Monetary and Trade Reports; and a great number of misceilane- ous paragraphs relative to murders, fires, &¢ The Causes of the Defeat of General Scott and the Whig Party. We publish, in another part of this paper, ex- tracts from several of our city contemporaries, showing their opinions on the contest which has just termivated. As will be seen on reference to their language, they differ widely in their views of the causes which have operated to produce the defeat of General Scott. Syme talk of native Americanism, othere of whig indifference, others of mitrepresentation and false issues. None have as yet put their finger on the real source of the uapre- cedented expretsion of public opinion which it has been our duty to chroniclo It may do vory well to tell the subscribers of the Tribune tbat the country people have been misled— that unfair influences were brought to bear against General Scott, his opinions misrepresented, and his cluracter traduced. But the country cannot bede- luded by such nonsense. The people of the United Sra es are well aware that if unfair influsnces were re sorted to on either side it was not on General Pierce's; and that, even if there had been any disposition on the part of the democrats to traduce General Scott, | the gallant general himself has not neglected the ample opportunities he bad of placing the public in possession of bis genuine sentiments. Nor is it less incorrect to allege that the contest was purely a personal one. Of each thousand votes which were cast on Tuesday, not fifty can be fairly ascribed to pereonal predilections or antipathies. Both demo- crates and *higs knew perfectly well waat pricciples were atstoke, and voted accordingly. It was not, however, a struggle between the known doctriues of the two great parties of the United States—free trade bad but little todo with the reeult, the Tribune pam_ pbleteer to the contrary notwithstaudicg ; and very few of those who registercd their vote felt much concern as to what scope or sphere should be allot- ted to the authority of the federal government. The question of public improvements did not enter the minds of the supporters of either candidate. The issue was fairly laid before the couatry, as Sewardiem and disunion against the Coustitution and the Union.

Many Amcricens are already located in Bolivia, and are said to be rapidly accu mulating fortunes, in consequence of their superior’ ty in knowledge over the majority of tho natives.

We may thank Mr. Seward for no inconsiderable share of his support We trust that the lesson will not be lost on the 8. They will never have an opportunity ging forward a candidate whose personal popularity will be greater. If they could raise Warhingion himeelf from bis grave, we doubt whether he could be elected on their platform—we do not mean the Baltimore platform, which they ex- ecrate and epit on. The whigs have, in truth, owed little to their penchant for military heroos General Harri- con was not elected because he was a soldier, but from the unpopularity which Martin Van Buren’s financial operations and the failure of the State Banks had brought upon the democrats. Nor was the election of General Taylor a mili tary triumph. Had Mr Van Buren been true to the democratic standard, instead of splitting tho party, Mr. Cass might possibly have been euceessful General Scott's defuat is a third example of the litle real influence which military popularity pesseeses on @ Presidential election, when it is unaccompanied by civil capacity, or trammelled by the support of an obnoxious faction. It has become eo much the fashion to suppoee that the tinsel repute of military valor, amd the tags and feathers of a toldior, are all that is required to ensure the favor | of the people of the United States, that fow ques on the fact. We doubt however, whether in reality euch claims to popularity are felt outside the circle in which military mon are the chief movers.

To presume ‘tbat such a power is wielded by any newspaper, is ‘to cast a grave imputation on the whole mass of the thinking people of the United States. The HenaLp has, we trust, done its duty during the late canvass Piercing the veil which Seward and his clique had thrown around their plot, and warned by their President of their selection, the Henan devoted its humble powers to their overthrow. In so doing. it was speaking the sentiments of the whole saw what the result would be two months ago, and printed it ; but it cannot claim the glory. That belongs of right to the millions of honest mon who have stood forth in this day of need, and nobly defended the constitution of thoir fathers.

We stated, a fow days ago, that the sale of paint- ings at the National Academy of Design had not proved #0 profitable as might have been hoped. Many of the pictures sold for barely the vatue of the frames, and worksof very great merit were adjudged to bidders at two and three hundred dollars. As a beginning, we understand that the parties who got up the auction, without being satisfied with tho result, seem to think that it promises better things for the future. We hope so. At the same time, we cannot conceal the’ fact that a great change must take place in the desires and feelings of the public of New York before painting can become 2» protit- able profession. : To a greater degree even than the English, Americans are infected with a prejudice in favor of foreign art. Whatever bears the stamp of Paris or Reme, is admired and treasured, independently of ite intrinsic merits. Paintings which would be con- signed to the lamber room in any of the large citios of Europe, are bere honored with a conspicuous place in the drawing-room, simply because they bear the name of a foreign artist. We could fill a column of tkis paper with the names of dirty little sketober, feeble imitations of Teniers and Van Os- tade, intended to represent impossible peasants in blouses, smoking excessively short pipes round a fabulous beer barrel, with a Dutch built chamber- maid, who is privately kigeed, in the background, that we have ecen sold at enormous prices. Others, which we should perbaps best doscribe by saying they were black equares of canvass, with o glaring red blotch in the middle, benevolently styled a “truth of light ;” and yet a third class of monsters, designed to depict a hevo of antiquity, dressed ine helmet, with a tawny skin, and a muscular develope- ment far exceeding the Farnese Hercules, dallying with @ fleshy nymph modestly attired in her own flowing locks, are highly prized by our collec- tors of virtu—provided alwaye the author have a Flemish or an Italian namo. It suffices us that the European critice have stamped their ap- probation on the works of an artist, for his | worst productions, or even imitations of them, to bo preferred to the most m:ritorious compositions of our own painters. The foreign work may have beon faulty from the begivning—time may have effaced the outline, and bedimmed the colors--injudicious admirers may have destroyed its beauties in attempt- ing to clean it; it matfbrs not. It is bought for the mace, and prized accordingly. It must not be supposed, however, that this love | of foreign art is indulged regardless of pecuniary considerations. The merchants of New York have a feeling for art; but they have, we fear, a still livelier feeling for dollars. It was Metellus, if our memory be not at fault, who, when the Syrasusaas expostulated at his stripping their galleries of the | finest master-pieces of the ancient painters, made light of their complaints, and promised, as a mark | of his upright dealing, to replace them by works of | the same size and color by artists of the day. And that a painter whom ho had employed, charged him { as much for his work as for the colors and gilding | he was obliged to purchase. It is difficult to defend oneself from these associations, when one enters the drawing-room of one of our Fifth avenue palacea,the | rent of which would pay fora whole block in London, and which is farnished with tho most expensive and highly finished rosewood and mahogany furniture, but | which cannot boast of a painting that cost over four | hundred dollars. People are too apt to measure the value ofa work of art as they would a tablo ora sofa; to calculate how many days, at so many hours aday, the artist was employed; and, throwing ina small surplue for oils and canvas, to offer hima | Sush connoisseurs would bave made a neat srithme- tical eum of the Beatrice Cenci, alicwing for the risk which Guido ran in visiting the beautiful captive; they would have made Michael Angelo a handsome | allowance for the very inconvenient position in | ony THE ELECTION BXCITEMENT IN THE CITY.

But judging from what we have seen and heard, we fear that their rules of appreciation must be extremely rude and simple. This is not the way to encourage art in this coun- try. Acute connoisseurship must be blended with generous liberality if we wish the United States to add artistic to her political and commercial fame. The genuine masterpieces of the Italian, Flemish, Spanigh, and French echools, must be introduced into the country» if we mean to emulate thd genius of their authors ; and while a single Murillo is sold in Paris for hundreds of thousande, we caunot ex- pect to purchase Rembrandta, Vandykes, Guidos, Dominiquinos, Lorraines, Corregios, Salvators, Titianr, Velasquez, for three or four hundred dol. | jars. The proportion between the price of senseless objects of Juxury and that of works of art, must bo better preserved. A man who can afford to pay | fifteen hundred doliars rent, whose domestic expenses amount to ten thougand a year, must learn to give, ungrudg'ngly, a couple of thou- sand, or more, for a good picture, if we do not wish future Wests to desert their coun try for a land where art is really apprecia- ted; for a judicious appreciation of the old masters will ulways be accompanied by a liberal ereouragement to modcrn artists: the latter are | only despised by people who admire the former on hearsay No valid reacon can be given for assigning to the United States a lower place in the annals of art than that occupied by Great Britain. The few vorably with the wative British artists; and, if we make allowance for the comparative age of the two | countries, it may, perhaps, be found that in some | styles, such ag portrais painting, we havo the a vantage. But, mask the different circumstances in which British and American painters are placed. In Englend, an artist bas constant opportunities of making himeelf known; constant exhibitions give him a fair chance of showing the world what he can do; and if he really possess talent, wealthy men sre not wanting to offer him a liberal reward for his labor. The leading painters of the duy in London, are making a splen- did income. It cannot be denied that our morcan- ile classes aro, in general, as profuse in their ex- penditures as the corresponding classes in Great Britain. But, inetead of purchasing paintings or of their wives and daughters, and expend a sum in decking a ball room with flowers, which would as- tenish an earl or aduke. If they would oonvinco themselves that, in their position, they owe to them- telves and their country a debt which cannot be dis- charged by silly extravagance, we should perceive the effect of the change on art ina twelvemonth. Exhibitions, wo, ought to be encouraged and sup ported. While Bumum pockets his thousands every year from his curlotivy chop, a new gallery of paint- ings ought not to be %q peculiar resort of for- cigners. eT Saale lal Domestic Miscellay, Rev, Dr. Putnam. of Boston. in his Gwourse on the death of Mr Webster, stated that tho color servant Mr Webster. who foliowed bis remains to Yeo grat were originally slaves at the South. and had pur. chared and emancipated by Mr. Web:ter, and ror fines remeined voluntarily in bis service, attached ang faithful demestice It ix understood that Mr Webster, havi fire to retam the Marehfield and Fran! hie ferily conrtituted J.
