But I am extremely patient with them best Be their trials, being naturally of a forbearing temper with people in distress. Except | Goy. Marcy, who is a bear, all the gentlemen whose | political career has been so scathingly commented on in the Review, are, so far as I know, men of irre- finger. But as politicians, whether members of Congress, Senators, Judges, Foreign Min- isters, Governors of States, Cabinet officers, or Presi- position gives them power to do harm; as, for in- stance, General Cass, who is dear to the people, an whose errors, therefore, are material, maki more imperative that the Review should expose them. Were it even President Pierce himself who should swerve from what he owed the people, the Review could less afford to 8} him than one else. Here, again, we are at issue with the Union school. They assert asa principle, that a ular | statesman becomes in a degree inviolable and intan- | gible to reper: and are eloquent in praise of those | whose political fortunes are considered as made. | Such pernicious doctrine and conduct the Review abbors.- It plays the sycophant to no one; and as there fa aged of papers to do the puffing, the | people asentinel to watch the errors of states- men, and reveal them without fear. Such a monitor e Review shall always be in my hands, and I will endeavor to transfer it only to such agents as will continue it what it now is—an open book to the persis and a terror to knaves and fools. am well aware that the recent issue of the Demo- cratic Review will raise up, in addition to the few great and the many little opponents of last year, a magnificent ot antagonism—“foemen worthy of our steel” —all the conservative, Jesuitical, Brown- | Sonian elements of the Catholfc church,’ as dis- tinct from the progressive, sincere sons of St. Peter; | all the anti-democratic, do-nothing occupantsof the foreign embassies, and their various frien besides | the highly respectable conservatives of the Washing- | | ton Union stock, and the remains of the whig party, | | what is left of it. It would be worth another year | of hard work and hard thought—such as I have just | gone through—to meet such an inspiring opposition | as this, But I gladly pass the reins into the hands | of Frank Pierce, satisfied that ven America, as | well as the whole nation, will find in him a single- hearted and high-minded representative, and an | | energetic and sagacious leader. Since the election Thave held the Review only till it could put | into fwlthfal and able hands, which will give an intelligent support to the in-coming administration. | For myself, I feel that I have done in a year the work of an ordinary life time, and may be allowed a | | little holiday. The “fogies” must not, however, | flatter themselves that they have got rid of me. If corrupt combinations, such asthe Review broke up in | 52, should again threaten the party, and no one else | | be forthcoming to enter the lists against the conspira- | lot T will undertake it with fresh zeal and confident | ope. | uring the Iate Presidential canvass the Union assumed to take care of the election specially in | | Tennessee, but its retrograde notions were repudi- | ated by that gallant State. The Unyon and its ad- | jutant, our “stationary friend,” Cave Johnson, mis- conceived the character of the people. They wrote | and talked Tennessee politics of a past era, not re- | cognizing the progressive tendencies of their readers | and hearers. I om greg! venture to affirm that if | they had substituted the Democratic Review for the | Washington Union, the result would have been dif- ferent. As it was, their best efforts only resulted | in the loss of the old democratic State of Tennessee, | the home and resting place of Jackson. | ee a ee the Uae es eo has | n openly and thoroughly whiggish—utterly op- posed to democratic princi: sles, as we understand them.

Of conrse it is not factious, stubborn opposition to a most provident State measure, | because it was ining forward by Young Ame- | rica.

Very respectfully, EO. N. SANDERS, * THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AN UNION OF FRAGMENTS. {From the Was! np Republic, Feb. 3.) We reproduce in our impression of this morning two articles that will be read with very great inter- est, ag Sereioping ‘some of those seeds of distress in the démocra' party which have been sown in the Senate by General Cass and Mr. Soulé, who are re- presented in the press by the Washington Union and the Democratic Review. The latter journal ‘oeg to the death for Cuba and Soulé. The Union, however, raises the flag of Cuba and Cass, and denounces “ buccaneers,” “ pirates,” “ plunderers,” “ marauders,” and “ fillibusters,” in amanner that must be not a little edifying to its old readers.

At the close of the market yesterday a better feel- ing was visible. Prices at the second board were well sustained, and there was quite an active demand for all the leading fancies, There are indications of an improving money market, and it is the general jmpression that abundance and ease will soon be as great asever. The advance in the rate of interest by the Bank of England will not have any effect on this side. It will not restrict the supply of money, but, on the contrary, tend rather to increase it. A slight temporary check may be given to speculation, butit will give a greater impetus to the real legiti- mate operations of the day. In the most important matters, the news from Europe by the Canada is fa- yorable. The cotton market was firm, and the pros- pect encouraging. This is sufficient to neutralize all unfavorable indications, and place our trade upon a sound, healthy basis, The slight distrust in the fu- | ture, which has been exhibited in financial circles during the past two or three weeks, must have avery beneficial effect. In cases where speculation had become too rampant, it will restrain the movements of parties directly engaged, and give them an opportunity to pause, and reflection will prompt them to be more cautious, It is one of those healthy, desirable reactions, which tend materially to put off and moderate revulsions. In some things we | have been progressing too fast. Speculation in many instances has increased with wonderful rapidity, and the public mind was becoming so excited that a few months would have sufficed to bring about an infla- tion in prices and in operations that would have re- quired a very serious contraction in the money mar- ket to have arrested or brought it within reasonable limits again. We must therefore look upon these pauses—these periods of distrust, these slight waver- ings in public confidence—as healthy movements, as being actually necessary for the preservation of a proper balance in financial and commercial affairs, and a proper regulation of the machinery of trade. Without these occasional lulls, we should soon be in- yolved in the most. reckless schemes, in the most desperate operations, without stopping for a moment to think of the inevitable effect; and the first thing realized would be the fact that all was unreal, all visionary. With the frequent admonitions these re- actions give financiers and speculators, the difficul- ties which would otherwise be experienced are in a measure avoided, and the temporary depression pro- duced gives an opportunity for operators to recupe- rate their energies, and gather their resources for a excturn of active and more healthy times. The exportation of specie from this port during the SHIPMENTS OF SPECIE FROM THE PoRT oY Ni Ship Margaret Eliza, Bremen, doubloor Brig Ariel, Australia, English gold... Schr. Chas. Roberts, Sagua La Gran Steamer Baltic; Liverpool, English gold. Total, Jan. 29 to Feb. 4 Previously reported... Total for 1853. The Baltic has not carried out much specie, not- withstanding the improvement in rates for sterling bills, In February, last year, the export of specie amounted to $3'551,543 , averaging about $300,000 per week. The first week in February, this year, the export has been less than two hundred thousand dol- lars. There was not a very large business in foreign exchange by this packet. The receipts of the Mansfield and Sandusky City Railroad Company for the month of January, 1453, amounted to $17,808 08, against $8,261 13 for the same month last year—increase, $9,546 95. This is very good, particularly on account of the reduction in the tarift of freights. ‘The Cumberland Coal and Iron Company are about issuing a report setting forth their operations in de- tail. We have no doubt it will be an important and interesting document, and will show that the profits on coal shipments from the Cumberland district are greater than is generally supposed. During the week ending January 29th, 2,532 tons of Cumberland coal were sent over the Mount Savage Railroad, and 2,204 tons over the Cumberland Coal Company's Railroad. Total for the week, 4,736 tons. Amount sent to market from the Cumberland region during the month of January, 1853, was 22,438 tons. The Bay State Mills Company have declared a dividend of $6 per share, for the past year. It is said the company have earned during the past year, 84 per cent, which leaves them a handsome surplus. The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal was navigable, during the past year, only about six months, yet the | descending tonnage reached 151,369 tons, and the ascending tonnage 167,595 tons. The tolls collected | forthe year amounted to $92,248 90. The northern part of tiris State is ina fair way of being liberally supplied with railroads. Three com- panies have started into existence simultaneously, to | construct railroads between the Mohawk Valley and the St. Lawrence line, through Lewis county. The northern terminus of these roads is at French Creek, 18 miles below Cape Vincent. On the south, Herki- mer, Utica and Rome are contending forthe southern terminus, The distance from French Creek to Utica is 100 miles, and the estimated cost of constructing the road is two millions of dollars. A road is about being constructed from Saratoga to Sacket’s Harbor. Contracts have already been concluded with respon- | sible parties. The contractors have agreed to take | the road and complete it on the company’s bonds, provided the company get possession of five hun- dred thousand acres of land along the line. Of this quantity, four hundred and fifty thousand acres have already been secured. These lands are heavily tim- bered, and can be made very valuable, as their mineral worth is beyond all calculation. The northern ter- minus of this road has not been determided upon. French Creek may be selected, as it is an important point. All freight going to Ogdensburg passes that port, and a transportation of 75 miles on the river would be saved by making French Creek the north- cated between Bay and Reynolds streets, to be ap- proached by steam, and tojbe used for city purposes only—the other to be located within one square of the Georgia Railroad depot, and to be used exclusively for through business. This depot is to be connected with the other, a distance of three-fourths of a mile, with the main track across the bridge by a railroad track, to be worked by horse power. The price agreed to be paid for these privileges, was $150,000, of which the Georgia Railroad paid $30,000. and the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad Company have assumed to pay $25,000 It is understood also, that the Memphis and Charleston Railroad Company,will assume a further amount. The board of directors have concurred, with great unanimity, in the propriety of the company’s proceed- ing to build a double track from Charleston to Branoh- ville, with the least delay on which it can be done consistently with a due regard to a proper economy- The cost of the new track is estimated at about one million and fifty thousand dollars. ‘A satisfactory survey of the Rabun Gap route has been made, which was found altogether practicable foraroad. With a liberal charter, and the loan of the credit of the State tothe extent of $1,260,000, the accomplishment of the work is no longer doubt- ful. ‘The annexed statement exhibits the quantity and value of merchandise, other than dry goods, im- ported into this district during the wock ending and including Friday, Feb. 4, 1853:— Comamenck oF THR Port or New York—Wrekty Imporrs.

We had occasion to notice last week the immense importations of tea and coffee. This week the arrivals and entries have been much greater, the total value of tea and coffee being fall one-half of the aggregate importation. But for this the imports for the week would have been within the usual limits. It is rather a more favorable fea- ture than otherwise, that the increase in value is in such articles of general consumption, as tea and coffee, articles of actual necessity. Had it been in luxuries, in articles similar to those manufactured at home, the effect would, of course, have been slightly injurious; but as it is, it does not matter much, If sufficient supplies of tea and cofice for many months consumption are entered at this port in a few days or weeks, it follows that a corresponding period of inactivity in entries must take place. ere can be no extravagance of an im nt character in the consomption of these articles. In other items there has been no material alteration. About the usual variety of imports have been entered. CITY TRA’ DR’ PORT. Sarunpay, Feb. 6—6 P. M.
