Much of our space is again devoted to-day to the @etails of the movements of the politicians in this Btate. The split among the hards and the softs seems to have aroused the anxiety of the members of all parties to & degree hitherto unparalleled in the anrals of intestine political feuds; everybody is @eep!y concerned to know what will be the result of the flare-up, and it therefore becomes our province to faithfuly keep the public posted. In order that the ‘wninitiated, if any there be, may the more fully com prebend the origin and nature of the trouble between the two se tions of the democracy, we publish at Bength the speech delivered by the Hon. D. S. Dick- at the hard sheil ratification meeting in Buffalo lest Saturday. This document contaius many items that are calculated to refreshen the memory, and will no doubt command the attention of, and be read with profit by, all classes. In connection with this matter, we would also recommend a perusal of the interesting hard and soft shell correspondence be- tween Hon. John Wheeler and General J. Addison Thomas. The soft shells of Albany held a meeting in the Rial! of the Capitol last evening, at which John Van Buren made a speech. Our correspondent says that ‘the Prince was “earnest and effective’’—conseqnent- ly, it is to be presumed that he has at last found time to read over and digest the platform of “ sec- tion number two” of the democracy. Owing to the presence of a large number of whigs and hards the meeting was tolerably well attended. Ove of our special correspondents reiterates the seertion made in our columns last week, that the English and French Ministers have not endorsed the protest of Austria relative to the Koszta affair. We learn from Richmond that the Hon. Jolin Y. Mason is recovering from his recent severe attack of bilious fever. Nothing further is saidin the Vir ginia papers concerning the connection of this gen- tleman’s name with the mission to France, The arrival of the Caroline Knight has put us in possession of a very interesting letter from our regu- lar correspondent at Puerto Cabello. The revoln- tionary troops of Venezuela had nearly all submitted to the power of President Monagas, giving the brothers a present triumph. It was believed, how- ever, that their gorernment would not exist long, although likely to be strengthened at the Presiden- tial election of next year. Trade was very dall at Puerto Cabello. The estate of the late Henry Clay, at Asbland, ‘was recently purchased by James B. Clay, son of the eceased staterman, at the rate of $140 per acre, The property consisted of three hundred and thirty- seven acres. Some of our Yankee fishermen make sad complaint ¢f the little protection afforded them by the United States fishing squadron which has jast returned home, ‘88 will be seen by anarticie from a Newburyport paper in another column. The fishermen declare that they have frequently been driven out to sea by the British cruisers, in the most tempestuous weather, and in di- reet violation of treaty stipulatiens; also, that the American squadron, instead of going to and remain- ing upon the fishing grounds, merely visited the prin- cipal provincial ports, and when wanted could not be found, though actually searched for. These are rather serious charges—what have the officers of the fleet 6 say about them? A meeting of citizens of Vicksburg was yesterday held at the Astor House, for the purpose of raising funds for the relief of those who are suffering from the effects of the yellow fever in their native city. A committee was appointed to solicit contributions, and nearly four hundred dollars were raised before the assemblage separated. On reference to our monetary report it will be seen that there was 4 pretty general decline in quotations for fancy stocks in Wall street yesterday. The stock of the Pacific Mail Company and the United States Mail Steamship Company has also, very unexpe2t- edly, declined quite rapidly within the last few days. By the way, read the communication of Com. Van- derbilt with regard to the Nicaragoa Transit Com pany. Considerable business was transacted in the dif ferent courts of this city yesterday, as will be seen by our reports. In the Superior Court, special term, the case of Hope vs. the Sixth and Kighth Avenue Railroads was adjourned over till Friday. Rowdyiam, we are sorry to say, is in the ascend- ant in this city, and unless the policemen in certain districts are a little more attentive to their dnties, we bid fair to soon rival the unenviable reputation long ago acquired by some of our sister cities. Of Jate, scarcely a week has passed that some solitary ‘wayfarer at night was not knecked down and dreadfally, in some instances fatally, beaten, by gangs of rofiians. If the police force is insufficient let it be strengthened, and by men who will not Shrink from the protection of those who may be asailed. There showld be n» excuse for the roffianism that has recently transpired in our midst. Besides the very entertaining and instructive pe. port from our New England Commissioner, relative to the past and present history of the Old County + Hampshire, Masa., our inside pages to-day contain interesting communications concerning the 1 Debt, and the Koszta Affair and Ingraham Testimo nial; an account of the Firemen’s Parade at New ark; Sporting Intelligence ; a variety of misceila meous items; Commercial and Theatrical news, ‘oc.

The Washington ie sont doe at this port with sour doys Jater advices. he Condition of the Democratic Party—Its | for the time being; but the judgment of the We should not be surprised, therefore, to see ‘Merits and i Management. The fearful dissensions in the great family of democracy cannot have escaped the notice of the country. Considering its past discipline and its present strength, its contentions in New York and elsewhere may well excite inquiry, it not alarm. We are all apt to think there is"no effect without its adequate cause—that mere accidents are not rightly credited with such broad and comprehensive disasters. Men now- a-days are not disposed to complain without a reason—to quarrel without a provocation. Great divisions in a strong and united family are not properly chargeable to mere inherent deprav- ity. We fear, then, that errors have been com- mitted—serious and undoubted errors—unin- tentional, it may be, but not the less mis- chievous and no less demanding a remedf. This remedy. we apprehend, is to be found in consulting the true relations of party and people. It any lesson is tanght by the universal ex- perience of mankind it is that the past is no proper criterion by which to judge the future. There are so many viscissitudes, so many changes unforeseen, so many circumstances controlling but undeveloped, as to make to- day an unsafe example for to-morrow. What men most need is to learn that they have only to do with things as they find them. The language of the Greeks and the Hebrews may be fall of valnable and beautiful material, and a knowledge of them may aid the reader to reach a higher conception of the capabilities and accomplishments of mankind, but they constitute no bases by which to guide him in conducting his affairs or in settling the charac- ter of his own people. Nor is it necessary to go so far back to prove that the past should be studied as history and not as example. It has been the great fault of us republicans to draw counsel from Greece and Rome in order rightly to determine the character, prospects and true policy of our great republic. There is no similarity, no resemblance. between them and us. The two systems of government bearing the same name were based upon opposite prin- ciples, just as the constitution of the United States has been supported by opposite and con- flicting elements. At first it was essentially theoretical in its character, so far as the masses were concerned; now it is essentially practical. Then it rested upon the Washingtons, the Frank- lins, the Jeffersons, the Adamses, the Jays, anda few other noted men; now it rests upon the mil- lions whose admission to elective rights has tanght them that the constitution is their own precions inheritance, and that to them is en- trusted its preservation. There has, in other words, been a diffusion of power, as of educa- tion. The schoolmaster has been abroad. and men now read the charter of their liberties, not ont of books, but out of their daily intercourse one with another. They read it in the sublime spectacle of a people who are as full of grati- tude for such unerampled blessings as they are of worldly goods. Men have become individ- ualized ; they are no longer, like bricks, fast- ened in their allotted spaces, or whittled ont to be driven into a place in society ; but each man constitutes a part of the whole—and yet the parts are as independent and as free as the aggregate. These observations may not be uninteresting to the democratic party just at this time. The chiefs of that party, we fear, are relying too much upon its ancient triamphs—upon the re- cords of its past deeds—upon old examples and old habits—and too little upon the actual con- dition of public sentiment. Would it not be well to remember that the past with the Ame- rican people holds a very feeble grap upon the present? There is certainly some- thing vastly stimulating, if not exalt- ing, in a good ancestral name; but advantages were not given to ena- us to assume airs, mach less to au- e us to control our obliging but less favored neighbors. A party is nothing with- out principles; and its principles cease to have power over party men precisely when, by common consent, they are acknowledged to meet the ,ublic necessities. They then enter inte_ the political system unquestioned. It would seem by this simple showing that the democratic party is just now in the greatest danger, for it is conceded that its administra- tive policy, its liberal and humane doctrines concerning naturalization. its notions of poli- tical economy, and its republican principles, no longer find opponents from any considerable portion of the American people. The cause seems to have been tried, the verdict rendered, and the judgment entered up. Why, then, should the audience be retained? Why not dismissed’ Undeniably, the. latter work has not been done. The election of Gen. Pierce, however, if events roll on as smoothly as with- in a few months past, may perform this work of dismissal with absolute effect It could not be done in the face of the enemy. The old soldiers of democracy could not be called off’as long as a gun remained to be fired, a post to be defended, or a vietory to be won. But, we repeat, the victory has been complete. The ‘hosts of opponents under the gallant lead of Mr. Clay have been drawn off or surrendered. Every strong point of the enemy has been taken Their bank hasstopped payment ; their high tariff and restriction has surrendered to the more congenial spirit of free trade ; their bank- rupt dd distribution policy have fared no better ; their American system has been torn up, root and branch, by private enterprise, In truth, they have failed. They have nothing to fight for, and, as long as the democracy can be kept together, with food for its soldiers, nothing to hope for. It must be confessed. inall this, the whigs in their disasters have neither ex- cited public sympathy or exacted popa- lar respect. But, nevertheless, their ca- reer bas been a gallant one; it bears, however, this only admirable testimony: both its officers and its privates are believed to have been honest. But however complete the triumph of the democracy and the overthrow of the whigs on the old issues, this much must be confessed: the latter have just as good mate- rial for forming a new party as the democrats. Driven away from their obsolete and exploded netions of administrative policy, they have learned wisdom by keeping still. Without thet opposition the democracy have nothing to cor t for, and absolutely nothing to keep them such together. The latter have not aseumed to speak ively; they hav demanded legislation; they have not sought aids or claimed its indirect re is; their maxix he sen ‘that a people who the least governed are governed the best.’ The whig programme, then, i withdrawn, they are able to make no Issue. The late sectional atrugglo, in whieh they embraced the side of he constitation, gave them “aid and jomfort’ country has settled that controversy, and it can no longer be counted a disputed question. Now, in this state of things let us recur to the probable future. The democratic party is unquestionably in the ascendant. It has its President and nearly two-thirds of both branch- es of §Congress. Its triumph is complete—at least it was complete when Mr. Pierce assumed the reigns of government. But it never wasin greater danger than now. Its very strength is its weakness. Those who control it, instead of looking to the almost absolute obliteration of past issues, and to the condition of public sen- timent, seem only to desire to set in motion the old and worn out machinery of political man- agement and personal intrigue as a means of sustaining it. This, we repeat, will mever do. There are strictly no longer any party men. General Pierce has been long enough in office to learn this. He has seen it in Maine, with its quadrangular contests ; in New Hamp- shire, in its obvious discontents ; in Massachu- setts, thrown into every conceivable subdivision; in New York, where the staunchest adherents of democracy bid defiance to the trammels of par- ty, renouncing allegiance and fidelity to the President himself, except on the basis of well known principles ; in Georgia, in Ohio, in Wis- consin, where the federal power is lost—every- where, through the whole States, he has seen it. He has seen it in the sudden revival of the whigs, and in their formidable array of strength, in hopes and expectations brought into exist- ence, not on the merits of the old organization, but on the palpable errors of the administration, which, say what we will, the people are ever ready to rectify. Is it not plain enough that the past is no eri- terion by which to judge the tuture? Is it not obvious enough that mere party tactics, such as were used efficiently by the Van Burens twenty years ago are no longer suited to the people? Is it not clear that a good cause is greatly jeo- parded now-a-days by ever so good manage- ment—that a strong and well man should not dabble in medicine, at least not experiment up- on his own person? We insist that the chief error of the administration is found in its want of appreciation of public sentiment. It will né longer do to tie men to party and not to coun- try. We hold no divided allegiance—we serve but one master, we embrace but one faith, we acknowledge but one confessor, and that is the true spirit of freedom embodied in our compact of union. New York Polltics—Prospects of the Hard Shells. Now that the respective State tickets of the hard shells and the soft shells have been placed before public meetings, and adopted by the respective sections into which the democratic party are now divided, it is a subject of in- quiry what is the relative strength of parties. particularly with reference to the prospects of success of the hard shells, or national demo- crats. We must, therefore, go back to the Pre- sidential election of 1848, when the free soil question was raised, and the strength of parties was shown onthe votes for Taylor, Cass and Van Buren, for President, and for Fish, Wal- worth and Dix, as the candidates for Governor. The total vote of the State was as follows :— FOR PRESIDENT. sie vite «. 218,603 -.. 114,318 we Buren...........- kine « 120,510 I. Fish FOR GOVERNOR. 218,512 hom. Ww oa (ational democrat). |.... 116,050 John A. Dix (free soiler) Van Buren and Dix received the abolition vote. which in 1844 was given for Birney, 15,812. Mr. Dix also received the anti-rent vote in 1848, generally estimated at about five thousand votes, If ihe abolition vote is deducted from the total vote received by Van Buren and Dix, it will be seen.that the hunkers, or national wing of the democracy, voting for Cass and Walworth, were the strongest section by about nine thousand votes. The following are the counties, usually demo- cratic, in which the national democrate or hunkers—now called bard shells—were stronger than the free soilers in 1848 :— HUNKER COUNTIES. ——-Vote for oe nor.—-—— Fish Walworth, Counties.

Total. 24,339 54,096 The hunker counties elect 42 members of Assembly, and the free soil counties 36 mem- bers—by single districts, of course—so that a considerable proportion of whigs are always chosen from each class of these counties, The remaining counties ot the State, which elect fifty members of the Assembly, with very few exceptions, generally give whig majorities, and choose uw proportion of democrats to the As- sembly. In these whig counties the democratic minority was composed of about an eqnal pro- portion of hunkers and barnburners in 1848, The hard shells are confident that they are now much stronger in these counties than the hunk- ers were in 1848, It is perhaps too soon as yet to form an opin- ion with regard to the respective prospects of the thre Mach will depend upon the 3,116 4,582 1,767 arties, action of the whigs at the Convention next week, and the characte) ticket they may nominate for State There is wo growing impression among the knowing whigs, particular! ly the nationals, or silver greys, that it is their best policy to port the State tick et nominated by the herd shells, or national democrats, with whom the sliver greye more especially coincide in sentiment, regarding former Jepaee between parties we obsolete ideas the silver greye and the canal men from the whig ranks very generally dropping the ticket which may be nominated by their convention next week, and taking up the ticket of the hards. Estimating the silver greys and the canal whigs at only one-fourth of the whig party proper, and we have fifty or sixty thousand votes to add to the party vote of the hard shells, which would of course give the hard, or nation- al democratic ticket, a fair chance of success. Canavan Arrams—Mr. Hrvcxs anp nis Ac- cusers.—Strange people, these neighbors of ours in Canada! A queer way they have of encouraging talent and recompensing public wervices! We have seen them, and that not many years since, ruled by the greatest block- heads that ever trod American soil. They have been led into all sorts of scrapes, bamboozled, plundered, sacked outright, by the very men who ought to have guarded their inte- rests. Not so many years ago that young men cannot recollect it their public lands and public works yielded no revenue. Their trade was left to fight its way as it best could. Their improvements were entirely military works. During all which their gov- ernment officers were holding half a dozen berths, appropriating stray townships, alloting water rights to their sons, plunging their arm to the elbow in the public coffers, and growing fat on the cream of the land. In those days everybody praised the government except poor Papineau, whose head was worth $4,000, off or on his shoulders. Now Canada is undoubtedly a prosperous country. Her trade is flourishing without sup- port from Great Britain. Her agriculture is in a most thriving condition. She will this year export as much wheat as any of the United States. Her public works are yielding a hand- some revenue. Her wild lands are being ra- pidly settled, and no favor or preference is shown to settlers. Justice is fairly adminis- tered, and popular liberty an established fact. Railways are in progress which will open up the whole of the province, and compared to which the greatest of our lines isa mere branch. Steam communication is established with Eu- rope. <A sound tariff is raising a large revenue and promoting trade. The provincial credit abroad stands higher than that of any foreign country. In every department we see substantial evidence of a healthy prosperity; and the most captions cannot bring home to the government a charge of wastefulness or prodi- gality. Yet there never was a time at which the head of the government was more virulently abused and assailed by the provincial press. The facts we have stated cannot be denied. To whom, above all others, is Canada indebted for the change? Look back over the last ten years, which have witnessed this startling transition from poverty to wealth, from torpor to activity, from the worst form of misgovern- ment to the establishment of sound democratic institutions, and say what man above all others has contributed the most to this result? The most bitter tory cannot but point to Mr. Hincks. That he has faults. we dare say; but take a practical, unbiassed view, of the progress of the province éince he first came into power, and we defy his worst enemy to deny that all the great changes which have raised Canada from the condition of a miserable colony to that of a powerful, prosperous and quasi-independent pro- vince, have taken place while he was at the helm of Syste. He may have had nothing to do with them; but if the revenue has increased, economy been established, cheap and rapid lines of com- munication been set on foot, wise laws passed, and the provincial securities raised to a pre- mium abroad, under his administration, it will need something more than general vituperation to persuade us that Mr. Hincks has been a bad minister. ; a The last charge advanced against him has been made in connection with the disposal of bonds of the city of Toronto to the extent of $200,000. It appears that Toronto could not sell her bonds at anything over fifty per cent discount. Mr. Hnicks was applied to by the Mayor, and by his personal influence succeeded in selling them in London at twenty per cent discount. His accusers pretended that he and the Mayor had pocketed this twenty per cent. Fortunately, the matter was brought before a court of justice; and, from the evidence of Mr. Ridout, cashier of the bank through which the operation was made, it seems beyon? a doubt that the city lost nothing by the transac- tion, and that Mr. Hincks made no improper use of his official position in the matter. The Upper Canada Court of Chancery entirely ex- culpates him; and we are free to confess that we attach more faith to the judgment of an im- partial court than to the statements of party organs. ‘e have not been able, after the most care- ful inquiry, to discover any more solid founda- tion for the other charges that have been advanced against Mr. Hincks. He seems to have been fortunate in some recent invest- ments. He has applied some money he had to the purchase of land which has proved valua- ble. He undertook on his own risk to erect certain works on the Ottawa which have turned him in a bandspme profit. But_in no case have we been able to ascertain that he has used his official knowledge and official position as a means of personal and pecuniary profit. Until we find that he has done so we cannot bring ourselves to blame him for having invested his money Judiciously;, nor can we explain the in- dignation which seems to have seized some of our Canadian cotemporaries at the discovery that their Prime Minister, on a salary of $3,200 a year, should have laid by a few thousand dollars. Tux Sram Yacut Norra Star ann THE Curvese Mission.—Does the government want @ special steamer, convenient, comfortable, swift, and safe, to take out a special minister to China? Now isthe time. The Vanderbilt yacht, North Star, is here—in port—waiting for acall. It is anxious to serve the country, and willing to go to China in behalfof the great objects of free trade and “ manifest destiny,” we verily believe. Can’t Mr. Walker be in- duced to reconsider his declination, and eon- sent togo to China? He can make it pay, if he gets there by the time of the occupation of Pekin hy the revolutionizing Christians. Let him con- sent, and say a word for the North Star, and our word for it, the thing is done, or onght to be done. The North Star is light enough to run up the Yang-tee-keang, or the Ho-ang-ho either, On board this ship Mr. Walker could follow the revolutionary ormy almost any- where, and thus get ahead of the English in his free trade negotiations. One would almost think this North Star was expressly built for this special miseion to Ching. Will Mr. Dob bin be good enough to come and take a look at her, inside and ont? We think she will do? Knocu-Down Ancuments—The Geneva Ga- zette, whose editor is an inflexible hard shell, notwithstanding he holds the responsible office of village postmaster, thus testifies concern- ing the short boys at Syracuse:— Tn the eoeucnte: while the caucussin, on in the rooms and ‘on the stepe of the Globe otal ae Syracuse House, an attache of one of the Syra- cuse papers stood hy the side ee ea Van Buren, and heard him make use of the fc niloming CF re the steps ofthe ‘Syracuse louse: Now, boy, it e te A pole d——d hunkers attem| tomp as him down; if you can’t hiss him him, knock him down, and if if you can’t do 1 can!” entleman who heard this is a manof undoubted ee and will swear to his statement, if neces- sary, to substantiate its correctness. Is it possible John said that? Well, these knock-down arguments have heretofore | been the controlling influences of the delibera- tions of Tammany Hall on more occasions than one; but with the work of purification that is now going on we should not be surprised to see the Old Wigwam at the end of another year or two turned over to Lloyd Garrison, Fred Douglass, Greeley, Lucretia Mott and Sojourner Truth, and the whole motley crew of our aboli- tion, anti-Bible, woman’s rights societies. Let the war be maintained and it will come to that issue atlast. It is “ manifest destiny.” Mr. Everert’s Lerrer.—The Boston Com- monwealth of the 27th inst. gives the following paragraph :— Asthe letter of Lord John Russell was addressed to the British Minister, and not to our government; as it was aie’ surreptitiously, and has never me officially acknowledged; as nobody has yet actually shown whether "New York Herdup Tornedo or stole a and as Mr. Everett no longer occu- ithorizing him to ta oe in diplo matic Ea we regard Everett's letter as an awkward blunder. By what rule of pro- priety ao you justify the publication of that reply to rich letter from Lord John Russell, which came to him, under such circumstances and suspicions, in the Nuw York Heratp? If the exclusive publication of a letter, or piece of news, in the New York Heraup, makes it a forgery, there must be a good many forged documents floating about the world. If Mr Everett desires an authentic copy of Lord John Russell’s letter to exhibit to this brilliant editor, we can show him one, or he can geta certified copy from either Mr. Marcy or Mr. Crampton. Is mmm Heratp a Harp or a Sort SELL ?— Three cheers and a salvo of artillery were given by the hard shells in the Park, and three cheers and a. champagne salute were given on the same evening by the soft shells at the inauguration of the Union Club, for the New York Heratp. Are we hard or soft? ‘Democnaric State ComMiTrxE.—This Committee met, pursuant to the call of the delegates from the Firat dis trict, at the Astor House, at 12 o’clook noon, yesterday, and organized by the appoiztment of Augustus Schell, of this city, an Chairman, and John S. Nafew, of Albany, and Harmon &, Cutting, of Buffalo, as Secretaries. The Committee was in session until a late hour in the evening. Muze.

Yrka’s beauty, both of form and feature; while her powers of pantomimic expression are described as something extraordinary—the true “poetry of motion.’’ Mlle.
