The people of ihe United States haye elevated no man to power; they have made public servants; and as far as it were possible in the order of our institutions. divested them of every selfish propensity. and made them only their trustees, charged for a season with the exercise of the highest duties ever devolved upon man. The government is composed of individuals, and it is idle to expect that its action will rise higher in the moral seale than the standard of integrity to be found in the heads of those entrusted with authority. Thus are the people identified with the public administration, and responsible for its failure or success. Party and party creeds serve the purpose only of expressing the popu- lar will, end making kaown the demands of the majority with reference to well known princi- ples and measures. Gen. Pierce, we feel conf- dent. wil! accord with us in this, Lot ue reeur to some of the political events which preceded his election—to the circumstances attending his presentation as a candidate, and to his acts as the chief of the republic. In the year 1849, commencing with the inan- guration of Gen. Taylor, the constitution of the United States was, for the first time in the his- tory of the two great parties, placed in issue. The provision of that compact for the surrender of “fugitives from labor’ was declared te be null and void; and a higher law was invoked, whieh, it was intended, should wholly super- sede and abrogate that important provision of the constitution. The needful preparation had been made for the trial of such an The question of slavery had long been discussed in Congress. That body, years hefore a foot of tervitory had been acquired, and hefore the first diplomatic note had passed between thiz goy- ernment and that of Mexico concerning the terms of settling our difienlties with the latter power, had elaborately diseussed the question whether any territory thereafter acqnired should be free or not. Resolutions had been offered expressly prohibiting the acquisition of , except on the condition that slavery any future day, should be expressly prohibited. In all this, of conrze, the action of the lower branch of Con: which was made the arena of agitation, was neither binding upon its sue- ceasor ner upon the Exeentive and Senate which had the sole constitutional r termine whether mld enlerg That wes not material, however: the t was attained by Mr. Seward and Mr. Buren, when they had succeeded f a strictly sectional ne: the first, un impression that the bulauce of political po was inthe froe States, and thai the es way to secure it was to embitter the public mind here with enmities and animosities against our brethren in the th; the latter had be- fere him the task of pulling down Mr. Polk’s administration, and providing a ra- to de- onr limits we ¥ 1 J Hable ns of defeating Gen.

It was a learful straggle. Party lines were obliterated—men were found settling old political scores an4 battling side by side under the banner of the Union. Cass and Clay were carly in the fied, as friends and co- adjutors; Webster and Fillmore came next, and then followed a long line of able and true men. who, without digtinction of party, arrayed thezaeelves on the side of the constitution. De- tails are amnecessary-—the compact of union was vinftieated—the amplest guarantees were seoured for the enforcement of all ite provi- sione, But tke charm of party wae broken. There was nothing left to hoki the whigs to their riekety platform. Their banks, their protective tariffs, their Ameriean system, their distriba- tion! of the proceeds of the public lands, had ail passed into obsolete things ; the public voice— the same that sustained the Union—had condemned them. Those measures entered into the history of the whig party; but not into that of the public adminisiration. The democratic party was based npon a negative rather than an affirmative principle. It did not propose to do; it only said such and euch things it would not allow to be done. And it did net, It had fully sustained its positious, and had riven all propositions of the opposite side from the halls of legislation. and almost silenced the press on the subject. The Union struggle, then, which had found its chief support among the democracy, became a vital principle in their political creed, and the central plank of their platform. Suceess eeldom fails to sanctify an undertaking, and thus we find whigs and demcerats at Baltimore indorsing, with em- phasis, the compromise measures, which were a direct result of the abolition war which had been waged against the constitution. We come now to Gen. Pierce. He was nomi- nated and boosted on to the democratic plat- form. He was free to roam over the broad stracture, but not to abandon it. Weall know what he did. Having examined the various pieces of which it was composed, he planted himeelf somewhere about the centre, upon the Union plank, declaring that he did not take that position because the democratic party had indicated it, bat because it exactly suited his taste andfeelings. There was something held and engaging—something patriotic and enno- bling, in that declaration. We liked it—the country liked it—the Union whigs liked it—it was, as the phrage goes, popular. What was the struggle? Was it on the old issues? No. It was a review of the recent compromise war, interspersed with elaborate personal aseaults upon General Pierce and upon General Scott, his competitor. There was but one plank in the platform that stood the pres- sure of the democracy in every State of the Union; that was the Baltimore endorsement of the compromise measures; and this forces us di- rectly to the conclusion that General Pierce is the President of the United States by virtue ot the strong Union tendencies of the country and of himself, as everywhere evinced before his elee- tion. This fact is strengthened by what he said in his inaugural address. and by the end- less praise which that statesmanlike paper re- ceived from all parties, save the Seward wing of the whig interest in this State, which cuts ne better figure than did the idiot pauper. writing his last will and testament on the sand. A stricter party man than General Pierce is not and cannot be, and shield himself from popular odium. We epeak of party in its or- dinary sense. The day of party had gone be- fore the rising of his official sun. In saying this we do not mean that he is called upor to surrender his party views and principles, as heretofore cherished by him in common with the whole country. By no means. He could not afford to be a partivan; his antecedents, not more than the cireumstances attending his no- mination and election, forbid it. The true in- terests of the country and his own fame alike point him to a higher destiny. and to more con- genial labors. « His first act was the appointment of his ceabi. net. That it was altogether successful and satisfactory, neither he or the country will claim. As his advisers and not his governors, bis counsellors and not his directors, their posi- tion wae.not important or dangerous either to himself or others. The principle that guided him in their setec- tion was not a goodone. By it he undertook more than he could do; and thereby pnt to hazard his own reputation and the success of his administration. He descended from a na- tional position of unquestioned strength, into the arena of local quarrels and personal in- trignes. He abandoned the position of com- mander to do the snbaltern work of the surgeon & aad the nurse in the democratic camp. In farming out executive patronage io the cabinet, which had been collected irom the odds and ends of all the old factions, he unwisely intro- irreeon- anced into bis administration all the cileable elements of past quarre sions. Free: m from New York, secoseion- ism from the South. unionism from all paris, were jumbled into a common reservoir, with the vain hope that by passing them throngh the exeeutive filter, they wonld come out purified and regenerated national patriots. In this work, Marcy, with all his experi- ence and well-known ability as a political intrigner and manager, was put up against MeClelland, who was supposed to represent the Ca als of the net; Davis, bold, ingeni- ous, and daring, waa set against the qnict inoffensive Mr. Dobbin; Guthrie was ase the treasury, ond hed enoug its officers at San Franci special interest; wh coand other pointe of Jushing was charged with the office of special adv: to the Presi- dent and fender of the fulth.” Jnatice waa thus secured to all the factiona; but in exact proportion to the ingenuity of thelr respective cabinet representatives, If the expe oe of Marcy exceeded that of MOlelland—if Davis outwitted Dobbin—if Cushing played his own gaiac and played it suece: held his own and a t fally ovenpied with taste for the f Pierce found himself responsible ything—it the was weakened insiead of etrengthoned soilism unionism was de etl plaints than praises, more eurses than bless ings, what wonder is it, pray?

The New Yurn Wig Party. don and B.06n ren, Whais wo be Denet Concerning the whig party of New York we are considerably mystified, extremely mortified and sorely dubious and perplexed. Gent!emen. what’s to be done? Things are working badly. The State Central Committee have discharged theirduty. They have called a Whig State Convention. to meet at Syracuse on the 5th ef October. The whig jonrnele of the rural dis- tricts have answered the signal, and, as cheer- fully as if nothing had happened, they are beat- ing the rappel to sammon the party together. And here in New York, James Kelly, chairman of the Broadway Honse “Democratic Whig General Committee,” hes issued his manifesto, headed by the soul-stirring words, “Never say dic,” ordaining that the whig primary elections ofthe city shall come off on the 13th instant. the very day ofthe Syracuse Democratic State Convention. All of which is well enough as far as it goes. But still, it cannot be blinked that the run- ning gear of the whig party is badly dameged, and that the prospect of patching it up inte good working order again is dark dismal, and desperate—quite dismal, and very desperate. Let us see. Greeley has thrown up his commission in disgust. Having pronounced the whig party dead, and having read over its funeral service, he is going to hitch on “for bet- ter or for worse” with the free soil democracy, and their piebald allies. How is this vacancy tobe filled? Who is there now to step in and keep up the whig fire on the tariff question and land reform? The compromise whig journals are rejoicing at this desertion as a good thing— as the very key to the regeneration of the whig party—and so it may be; but it is only an item in the clashing of the clans. Read! read! The Albany Evening Journal (which still clings to W. H. Seward and the whig party, 2s one and the same thing.) says :— But wbigs want to avoid, and, if we understand their spirit, are determined to prevent, the recur rence of dissentions, bolts avd defeats, which cost them so much in 1848, 49, °50, '61, and 52. They do pot mean to place themselves in the power of a faction who bolt regular nominations, fairly made, and exprees ng the pepular will of the party. This cap be done by starting fairly and fraokly; by ol: lowing those who do not intend to act together, to act separately. With a wide world before us, there is no necessity for, and no wisdom in, attempting to constrain harmony between 8 of diverging views or uncongenial sympathies. Those, there- fore, who left the whig party with the New York Express, Buffalo Advertiser, Io, &c., in 1850, who “kept the whig ticket out” of their columns, who defeated the election of whig State officers aud whig members of Congress; and who now propose to some af eaten a seen ee pearee then af liberty to again, bar T cat ey haye own organization, their oa organs, edt Petr own bi tep If, he er pal not live a Bence jan e whig party, let them live peaceal em- selves. Or, i this does not ele tien a3 some bave more than hinted, iz vent a party to consist of honest mon, by uniting with the Aida: clique. The lesser Seward organ of ihis city thus sus- tains and explains the programme of Master Weed :-- We are inclined to regard this (the dictum of the Albany Journal) as chalking out the line which the whige will pursue in the coming contest. They will prol bly meet in convention ; adopt resolutions endorsing Senator Seward ; reject any that may be offered approving of Mr. Fillmore's course ; decline all propositions to compromise matters of difference, or to “give and take,” in the selection of candi- dates; nominate a ticket thoroughly representing these sentiments and purposes ; and let the result take ¢ re of iteelf. The Journal evidently implies that a victory, under any other circumstances,would be worse than a defeat. To which the Wall street organ of Mr. Fill- more, and the purchased advocate of the late Castle Garden Union Safety Committee, says Well, that is going the whole figure certainly, and without any ifs or provisos whatsoever. If such is the determivation of the whig regent at Albany, and others are ready to be the serfs 0° snch a mas- ter, we, for one, beg leave to say no, and many times no, for ourselves and scores of other whiga hore and all over the State. Nevertheless, it is better for the freo soil whigs of this State to convene together, to resolve together, and to aet in perfect harmony throvghout. They who lead this wing of the whig party have no sentiments in common with the whigs of one half of the States of the Union, c., &. And the Albany Regis/er. in repudiating the arrangements of Master Weed for the Novers- ber election. says, in the course ofa stiff revo- lutionary article, that :— We love the whig party, and desire its triumph. We regard it as the great conservative party—the bea of order, and of prog:ess—the party which a3 done, and is capable or doing, most towards tno advancement of human rights and of civilization. But rather than see it converted into a mere tnstra- ment for the advancement of individual ambition, or the achemes of cliques, we would say —Let it be aie solved. [f it isto be made the means of elevating to power little men—if the offices in its gift are te be bestowed upon mere ward demagogues—huxter ing politicians, whose only qnaliiications are, trucknlency to dictation, and subserviency to parti- enlar cl ques—then we say its usefalness is at an end. It will have become a curse instead of a bloasing, and the sooner it is annihilated the better. James Kelly’s manifesto enjoins it upon the whiga to “never say dic.’ The country whig¢ preases are rallying the stardy yeomanry. but, alas! Master Thurlow Wood says to tho Pill- more people that “ they had better stay out” of the whig ranks; while the leading organ of the silver grays replies, that if hor Thurlow’s instructions are io succeed, the whig party had “better be dissolved,” and that “the sooner it is annihilated the bette Herein lies onr mystifiestion, mortification, dubiety and perplexity. We know not what todo W g the evidence upon both sides, and striking an even-handed judgmeyt upon it, the best evidence that we have to give is, that the Fillmore or national whig faction and the Seward or free soil cliqne shall each hold a State Convention at Syracuse on the 5th of October, and cach pnt up a State ticket for themselves. We presume that this will be the plan adopted by the democrats, and we recom- mend it to the adoption of the whigs. We call npon the #' grays to commence the good work in the primary elections of the 13th.

The proceedings at the varigus highly interesting aud exceed- in gly funny conventions in this city, uring the past two weeks, have resulted in discord, in open-mouthed mutiny, in a succession of squab- bles, which, taken all together, have raised a precious row among the brethren and the sis- terbood, and it will be sometime before we hear the last of it. The “World’s .Temperance Convention,” which closed its labors yesterday, has, in the exercise of its unparalleled despotism, driven outof the orthodox temperance organization, the following important detachments of its late allies, to wit :— 1. The Bloomers, and all the Woman’s Rights associations, in the ungallant expulsion of the Rev. Mies Brown. 2. The abolitionists, infidels, socialists, amal- gamationiste and vegetarians, in the turning out of Wendell Phillips. 3., The free colored American-sons and daughters of temperance and vegetables, in the ejectment of Fred. Douglass, M’Cune Smith, and Sojourner Trath. The Rev. Miss Brown, after contending for her woman’s rights with the epirit of a Spar- tan, was ignominionsly put out by the police. And when we consider that a special conven- tion by the sisterhood was simultaneously sit- ting at the Tabernacle, we are amazed at the boldness of Neal Dow and his temperance men if treating Miss Brown as they did. They will suffer for it yet. Let them remember thet Wendell Phillipe, the abolition shadow of poor old Garrison, following him through thick and thin, was turned ont unquestionably from the simple reason that they didn’t want such eom pany. “He and his adherents will not forget it, Fred.

This World’s Temperance. or Maine Law Convention, headed by Neal Dow, the founder of the aforesaid statute, has turned adrift the Woman’s Rights party, male and female, black and white, the socialists, the amalgamationists, the infi- dels, the vegetarians, and the free colored Americans. Downing (G. K.) judiciously kept aloof. He had other shell-fish to fry. We rather think that Downing entertains a strong sentiment of disgust at the idea of mixing wo- man’s rights and the rights of free colored Americans together. If Fred. Douglass and M’Cune Smith had been as wise they would not have burnt their fingers in the rash at- temft to mix in on the same platform with Vir- ginians and South Carolinians. But what is to follow from these proceedings, excluding Miss Brown. Phillips, Douglass, and Smith, from the holy cause of temperance? Agitation? Of course. What else? Very likely a separate Maine law coalition movement, comprising the abolitionists, the etrong-minded women and free colored Americans all over the North, in opposition to Neal Dow and the orthodox Maine Jaw party. Thus the house will be di- vided--is, indeed, already divided—against itself. Whatthen? The Scriptures say that such a house can’t stand. It can’t. -And thus the Maine law, which, from and after this World’s Convention, was to have swept the whole country, is crippled in a miserable squabble with fugitive slaves, Bloomers, and abolitionists. How strange! Great country this, any how. Gen. Dix Exporsep py Sovtn Carorrwa.— The Charleston Vercury, which. upon political subjects. generally epeaks the sentiments of the South Carolina democracy, expresses the fol- lowing extraordinary opinions concerning the long-talked of but still unsettled question of the appointment of Gen. Dix to France :— oka Preah pil ne The difficulty in his way, according to the news- | Miss Rosina Collins, 8 gnora Rona! papers, is that he adhered to Van Buren in 1848, | Miss Emma C-lling, Signore Geliet and has since been classed as a barnburner. But in ora Balvi, this position Mr. Dix has done nothing to make him- je mo te be, my dear si, yours, wef self obnoxious to special hostility. He stood by the . ‘iM. NIBLO. litical chief nnder whom he rown u9, but New Yorx, Sept. 9, 1852, ‘hat is all that can be eaid against him. Webster and Fillmore, at the same time, had a position far more pointedly oppesed to the South than Mr. Dix, and we were willing to forgive them, on their taking one more consonant with the peace of the country. Why should Mr. Dix be victimized in the like circum- stances? But we do not admit—at least we have seen no proof—that yak to his appointment bas come from the South, pees it suits a portion of the Northern press to say 80. [' seems to us he is in reahty opposed mainly by o division of the party in his own State. It does not strike us that the President is hound to defer to these clamora of local faction. If, in his judgment, Mr. D»x is qualified by ability and character to do the country good service in France, we eo no sufticient reason why hozhonld not appoint him. If that does not contem Gen. Pierce that he wasright in the first place in the selection of Gen. Dix for France we don’t know what will, We commend this endersement of Gen. Dix to the special attention of the President. If South Carolinaapproves him, where is the dan- ger? Send him along, and relieve Louis Napo- leon and the Mmprees of their suspense. Be- sides. a sound conservative at Paris just now might be usefal in conjunction with the Empe- ror in maintaining the peace of Europe, Shall the Turkish question be setiled without onr having had o finger in the pie?
