The News. Our news from Washington this mornizg is con- firmatory of that published yesterday, as regards the yemoval of Judge Bronson, and the appointment of Heman J. Redfield to the Collectorship. In the ex- pectation that Mr. O’Conor will tender his resignation ‘on hearing of Mr. Bronson’s removal, the former gentleman's dismissal bas probably been withheld. John J. Cisco is to be Assistant Treasurer ingplace of General Dix, who resigns the keys of the govern- ment strong box to one whose political affinities are no bar to a cordial co-operation with Marcy and Com- pany. J. R. Broadhead has been appointed Naval Off ger in place of Redfield, and the catalogue of free soil rewards is completed by thé sppointmeitt of John L. O'Sullivan as Charge d’ Affaires to Portagal. This intelligence bas produced the utmost excitement. At Washington the Cabinet are tremblingly anxious as to the effect of their sudacity. The national demo- rats of Albany rejoice in the removal of the Collec- tor, believing that thereby is insured the success of their ticket at the polls beyond all peradyenture; while the tree soilers are exultaut, and talk of a de- Monstration in honor of Marcy's “pluck.” The Orange county democratic convention, held at Goshen, yesterday, nominated Judge Bronson for Senator. At the Annual Synod of the New York and Jersey Presbyterian Chorch, beld in this city week, it was unauimously resolved that the action of the Jast General Arsembly of that body on the sub- ject of slavery “is viewed with regret, as inoppor- tune, as fraught with unconstitutional tcndet and as calculated to awsken unfeigned alarm for the continned peace @nd unity of our chi es.” Are solution, recommending the memorializing of the general government to secure to American citizens in foreign countries thetights of couszience and re- ligious worsh'p, and Christian bur‘al, was also unani- mousiy adopted. At the New Jersey Educational State Convention, reeently held at Trenton, reeclutions in favor of gene- ral education by free schools were adopted, and the New establizhment of an cducational journal was recom- | mended. By the arrival of the steamer United States yes- lerday, at this port, we have journals from Havana to 15th of October. They do not contain anything of interest, further than that the Diario de la Marina ie out in an article in reply to the London Times on the subject of slavery in Cuba. We have received files of journals trom Baenos Ayres and from Rio Janeiro—the former up to the 26th of August, the latter up to the 3d of Septem- ber. We extract from these papers, and publish this morning, the address of the Buenos Ayrean govern- ment to the people, and a synopsis of the manifesto made by Gen. Urqniza to the Constituent Congress of the Argeatine Confederation, in which he resigns his position as Provisional Director. We also give the state cf the markets in those cities. The fourteenth and fifteenth days’ proceedings of the Triennial Convention of the Protestant Bpisco- pal Church may be found elsewhere. Amending canons and alte cons itutions were the principal topics of consideration. The Rev. Dr. Kipp, of Al- bany, was elected Missionary Bishop of California; Rev. Thomas F. Scott, of Georgia, was appoiated Missionary Bishop of Oregon. The sto®i market was without variation yesterday. Flour was in better demand and rather firmer, and wheat improving. Freights were somewhat easier. The Humboldt took out 600,000 in specie. The Chemptons of the € g the acts of adminis: they deserve. The period of proba- | : <tended far beyond its nata- | ‘act. now past, and we can see | roughly bad the whole course + hasbeen. From the first © soilers to domestic offices, indulgent! is, wnee how the » present appointment of fi of t jon of French socialists and s to our foreign missions, to the last administrative proceedin Marey’s depart- s treatment of poor Gibson—and Mr. 's compulsory dismissal of Collector | and the cle! ment— Guthri Brons all has been uniformly, consistently bad. Honestly, we cannot discover, in the | whole official ¢ e, one single redeeming | vers of the Cabinet who have not doz ave done nothing; those | who have di y thi » done wrong. | s letter to Lester, Davis eches in | feature. Those m Post Olice despatch, and ‘oveign correspondence and are all harmonious parts of a disgraceful | a | whole; and, as we said, ‘e now beginning to see | th it everywhere, A contrast between the course pursued by these journals and that of the administration organs, throws a world of light on the true merits of the pointsin disenssion. In the for- | mer, 80 far as we have been enabled to judge, the various official acts of goverament have been canvassed, where they deserved it, with marked severity, Butno independent jouraal has assailed Marcy’s private life, or attacked Cushing’s domestic character, or abused Guth- rie as an individual, or turned aside from broad questions of principle to indulge in per- indepen | meaningless twaddle, just such stuff as has been sonalities against members of the Cabinet. They bave been charged openly with their faults; but none of theiz ants have condescended to | impute motives or insinuate mean reasons for the acts complainedof. Rightly understanding | that the people of this country, sitting in judg- | ment on the administration, would not listea to irrelevant testimony, or be swayed by evidence foreign to the great issue, the independent | press has strictly confined itself withia the scope of this issue, and bas not, at this moment, | to blush for a single ungenerous imputation, a single ungentlemanly attaek, or a single viola- tion of the propricties of polite discussion. Strange to say, there is not one of the govern- ment papers of whom the direct converse of this proposition is not true. To begia with the Union—its attack upon the correspondent of | the London Times is fresh in everybody’s mem- ory. This writer had spoken ill of the govern- ment--showed how unpopular it had become— prophesied the revival of the Van Burenites, &e. The Union did not try to refute these pro- positions, but abused one Mr. Lester—attacked him for his youth, assailed him for his manhood, abused him as a private individual ; called him names for his conduct, many years before, in an official station ; talked of his “ characteristic ef frontery,” h disgraceful abuse of trust,” his “disgusting and infamous misconduct”’—and finally wound up withe groan for “a whip of | scorpions, to lash the traitor naked through the world,” Very conclusive, certainly! In like manner when this journal exposed the traitorous designs of the Cabinet, and their ob- vious consequences, what was the reply—echoed and re-echoed throughout the press that Mr. Cushing leads? Not that we did the government wrong, but that Mr. Bennett had applied for a mission to France. Not that our facts were un- true, but that he was “base and malignant.” Not that our inferences could be questioned, but manconstantly abused. Not that Marey, Cushing and Davis were good men, but | that he, Mr. Bennett, was called a bad one by his enemies and his rivalsin business. All this, and more of the same order, has filled the gov- ernment organs for weeks. Hear the Cincin- nati Enquirer establish the virtues of the | administration, by styling Mr. Bennett a *‘per- son who disregards the decencies and proprie- ties of life.” a ‘man destitute of shame as of character,’ “skilled in defamation and false- hood,” “bold in rascality and venal effroutery,”” &e., &e. Hark to the Richmond Enguirer— one so well known for the fairness of its course, the moderation of its language, and the calm | logic of its reasoning ; hark to its unanswera- | ble evidence of the moral and politieal worth of the Cabinct, in the following phrases : * Ben- nett was ready to pluuge into this abyss of infamy” (meaning thereby the defence of the n against the free soilers)—he “had the ‘ity to aspire’’--he “lay in a pit’—he was “like an outcast dev The President ‘shrank from bin instinctive horror’—he was | ‘spurned with the foot,” &c., &c. Our readers may possibly be more successful than we have been, in endeavoring to elicit any meaniug from these singular and highly figurative expressions. | Tor our part,we confess that, like a vast number of other attacks, they seem to us to be mere with Our Religious Intelligence column is unusually in- teresting this morning. A letter from our Springfield correspondent, con- taining ar port of the speeches and sentiments at she banquet held at the horse show, will be found elsewhere. The aflair, in a pecuniary point of view, was very snecessful, and it is to hoped will ead to similar exhibitions in other parts of the country. - The legal investigation pending against Michael Mey and James Duffy, charged with the murder ofthe young girl Catharine Quigley, was continued yesterday before Justice Snedeker. The evidence on the pari of the prosecution was closed. A full re- port will be given in to-morrow’s paper. ‘The fire in the woods near Detroit continues to rage furiously. The steamship Osprey, about the safety of which serious fears were entertained, arrived on Friday evening at Philadelphia. The packet ship Western World, from Liverpool, is ashore on Squan beach. Her passengers, six hundred in number, are all safe. The loss by the fire at Louisville on the 21st inst. fis estimated at $200,000, on which there was iasu rance to the araount of $160,000. From Cincinnati we learn that a very destructive fire broke ont yesterday morning near the centre of the block bounded by Main, Sycamore, Front and Second streets, which destroyed # large amount of property, The river was very low, notwit)standing rain had fallen all day.

The goverument editors have a margin left yet ere they equal in savage malignity the acsailants of Thomas Jefferson or General Jack- son in this country; Wellington or Peel in Eng- land; Louis Philippe or Napoleon in France. They must study their originals afresh, and dip their pen anew in gall. We only allude to them to show how pain- fully consistent the administration is in its poli- cy. ” Té was observed of a certain king, that if he never said a foolish thing, he never did a wise one. The present Cabinet are resolved to leave no such memory behind them; the things they do and the things they say are equally fool- ish. Any man of ordinary judgment could have told them that the day of party organs was past long since, and that to hire an editor to vomit personal abuse against the conscientious as- sailants of the government, was to take the surest means of bringing that government into disrepute, and could net, under any ciecum- stances, be expected to befog or delude the people. But what do Marcy and Cushing know of the progress of Tne News rrom Wasntnoton—Tur Latest Acts o¥ me Capryet.—It will be seen by refer- ence to a telegraphic despatch from Washing- ton, that the news published in yesterday's He- raxp, of the intended removal of Mr. Bronson, as Collector of the Port of New York, and the appointment of Mr. Heman J. Redfield, Naval Officer, in his stead, is fulky confirmed. The removal of the one and the appointment of the other have actually taken place. It will be in the recollection of our readers qhat we mentioned Mr. Redfield as the se | political martyr. On the contrary, if we do | of interest, far beyond what the abstract im- | imitete the despots of Durope in gagging free \ | the course they have pursued in reference to | spent religiously in mute mastication ;—from | at some time or other patiently enduréd by sor of Judge Bronson, a week ago. The matter was all cut and dry before the Collector replied to Guthrie; but the Cabinet wanted !1's letter as an exense for an act unprecedented in the history of the United States. The reply to his letter was the knock-dowa logic of their friends the Short-boys. It was found to | be much easier to cut off Mr. Broason’s olltei bead than to answer his arguments; but the Cabinet will probably soon find that these A ments wil! lose none of their force and cogency from the fuet of the writer having been made a not vastly mistake human nature, and espe- cially the American phase of it, the adminisira- tion, by their act. have made Judge Bronsoa a greater man than himself or his warmest friends ever dreamt he could become by any possible shufile of the cards ; and they have invested the principles for which he contends with a degree portance of these truths could excite under or- | dinary eircumstances. It is the first time in the history of the United States that a Cabine have dared to coerce a collector in the distribu- tion of office—-it is the first time that an at- tempt has been made by an administration to speech. How far the attempt will succeed re- mains to be seen. Whether the Spoils Cabinet will even succeéd in the immediate object of Mr. Bronson, is more than doubtful. It is an artful electioneering dodge to influence the State elections in favor of the free soilera; but it is like a two-edged sword, which euts either way, and we would not be surprised to find that it will cut deeper with the Cabinet and the freesoil ticket than with the candidates of the national demecracy. It appears, by our tele graphic intelligence from Albany, that both sides are rejoicing at this consummation, each cal- culating that it will do most service to them- selves. Hew it will work, the result of the election will pypve. But whatever way it may turn out in ihe State. one thing is certain, and that is, that it will ruin the Cabinet beyond the hope of reco- very, through the Union at large. It will kindle the national sentiment iato a flame in which the administration will be consumed like stub- ble. The popular feeling will be carried into Congress in all its veliemence, and we shall see whether the appointment of Heman J. Redfield | will be confirmed by the Senate ornot. There are some other appointments, tuo, that want the confirmation of that body-—for example, such as that of B. F, Angel as Consul to the Sandwich Islands, and of Joha L. O'Sullivan, who, we perceive from the same despatch that brings the news about Mr. Brongon’s remoyal, has just been appointed as Charge to Portugal. Never was any cabinet so blinded by infatuation as the present, and it is imporsible to account for their demented course in any other way than by referring it to the old proverb—*Wh om the gods would destroy they first make mad.” Fvurcrs Prosrecrs—Harpsurr anp Luxury.—- If Brooklyn is the City of Churches, New York is assuredly the City of Hotels. New Yorkers may be not improperly divided into two classes —those who keep hotels and those who in- habit hotels. We have, indeed, been assured by persons of high character for veracity, that far away in the streets up town, wealthy mea have been known to occupy a whole house, and star- dily to refuse admittance to a single lodger. But the statement requires confirmation. Prom the dingy, old fashioned three story building ia Houston or Franklin street—where young men are taken in and done for, in an attie. with dinner on Sundays, for four and five dollars a week—where the landlady looks after your linen herself, especially your handkerchiefs and socks—where the chimneys always smoke, and your host’s eldest daughter “ Je-e-ulia,” plays polkas from 6:30 A. M. to 11:30 P. M.—where breakfast is a period of awful solemnity, to be this sort of home, which we doubt not has been most of our readers, to the gorgeous palaces in Broadway, where well nigh a thousand stran- gers are hospitably welcomed and sumptuously fed each day—where the furniture, which is yours for a few hours, far exceeds in splendor that of your own drawing room, and the table service and fare are unequalled in the wealthiest mansions in Europe;—between one ox the other of these extremes, nine-tenths of the sojourners in New York are lodged. How the system originated we know not. Want of money, want of time, other eccupations, perhaps forced Jones to take a bedroom at Smith's, instead of building or renting a house, Jones liked it: so did Mrs. J. ond Mrs. 3. It was cconomical—not troublesome—aad social. Robingon followed the example. So did Snooks ; and after awhile all these and other Smiths, Joneses, &c., found themselves living in board- ing houses, and enduring it meekly. Now, as | we said, almost every second house is either a hotel or a boarding house ; and though addition- \ al accommodation for several thousand people, | in the shape of large hotels, &c., has been added | to the city within the last twelve months, it nover was so difficult fora stranger to finda H room. Starting at eleven or twelve at night, one may drive around the city for hours with- out being able to procure a hed. The demand advances in the ratio of the square of the sup- ply. According to the ascertained rate of pro- gress, we shall next year have a dozen more monster hotels in existence, and respectable strangers will be found sleeping in rows in the Park and Parade Ground. We leave it to philosophers to say where this is to end, and trust they will eater upon the in- quiry with nerve and courage. If it be our des- tiny hereafter to exhibit the spectacle of a city too small for its inhabitants, and to undergo all the petty miseries of periodical ejectments from our dwellings, whenever a sudden rush of stran- gers takes place, the sooner we know it the bet- ter. Ifit is to cost us thirty dollars a week for an attic, water to wash. and boot cleaning extra, let us be prepared in time, Scholars and gen- tlemen have subsisted in comparative cotnfort, in tents, at Melbourne and Sydney ; if it should come to that, Manhattan island contains dry spots still, and canvass is cheap. A second inquiry, not Jess curious than the firsi, is, where is the present love of luxury to end? Take street architecture. for instance. It is no doubt very true that, artistically speaking, Europe contains finer buildings than ours; but, from a utilitarian point of view, neither London nor Paris nor Vienna, nor, in short, any other city in the world, contains anything that can compare with tha St. Nicho- las, Metropolitan, or Prescott hotels, some of our first class stores, or the newly built dwell- ing houses, for comfort, accommodation and room. The same is true of interior decorations. Europe contains nothing like Taylor's saloon, [a (8 ee a RR MR oe re ne em en t, and in many respects in sbockingly bad taste; but costly splendor can hardly go farther. With- out comparing the dinner service at one of our first class hotels with the same service in Hag land, France, or Germany, take it on lis own | merits, and say what possible improvement, what refinement, what extra expenditure can enhance its magnificence or value! Dress, again, which is more solid and perhaps more comfortable in England, and certainly more tasteful and elegant in Paris, reaches the highest point of costliness and showiness here. The jewelry worn ia the United States is in- variably of the most expensive kind; ladies turn up their beautiful noses at anything short of a diamond of ever so many carats. Our carriages are fitted up with corresponding maguifleence, and of late sky-blue and peach flunkeys are to be seen, hooked or braced on to certain portions of the vehicle. Now, whore is this to end? Concurrently with this growing propensity towards extrava- gance, our means of gratifying it are likewise ineveasing. ‘Cemporary crisis may knock Wall sireet into a cocked hat; but we don’t care for that. Wall street is not the country, and that is thriving. Gold, grain, minerals, fertile land, manufactures, and every product of in- dustry, teem around us, and positively baffle our power to use them. Were we twice as extravagant we should still be able to afford it. Where is this to end? The Distribution of the Spolls, Tt having been intimated pretty distinctly by the Postmaster-General, in aletter published a few days ago, in reply to Colonel Benton, that the obstacle to the appointment of Mr. Henry F. Watson, of St. Louis, as postmaster of that city, was, * that it had been represented that he was engaged in the free soil movemeut of 1848, and signed a public call for a meeting of the friends of free soil’ in that year, we thought it | a rather strange position for Judge Campbell to take, not only in the face of the appointments under the departments of the other members of the Cabinet, but under his own, in the States of Ohio and Massachusetts, and particularly New York. From our general recollection at the time, we felt convinced that many notorious free soilers had been appointed to office in thase three States and elsewhere. But to make assu- tance doubly eure. we instituted an inquiry, whieh has resulted as follows for the State of New York—the State about which most in- terest has been excited in the contest for the spoils -— POSTMASTERS.

The foregoing specimens of appointments in the principal towns of the State of New York, not only under the departments of Guthvie, and Jefferson Davis, and Marcy, but Campbell him- self, will show what a vast difference there is between profession and practice in the distribu- tion of the spoils, The Secretary of the Treasury and the Secretary of the Navy, it is true, profess the opporite doctrine of the Postmaster Gene- ral, and the Secretary of State has pablicly professed nothiug, unless so faras his acts speak for him. But Judge Caurpbell would have Old Bullion and the people of St. Louis believe that the slightest tinge of free soilism is a disqaalifi- cation for office, under an administration whose chief was elected by the democratic party upon anti-free soil principles ; while here in the city of New York, and most of the impertaat towns of the State, the strongest kind of taint of the anti- slavery sentiment seems to be an essential requisite for a good postmaster ; and what is sound doctrine on the Mississippi, is flat bias- phemy on the banks of the Hudson. In the South, free soilers are discounteaanced by the Pestmasier General and the rest of the Cabinet; in the North—and we might add in the Rest and West—free soilers and their allies are in the ascendant. and the professors of the national orthodox creed are at a discount. For the present we only publish a list of the free soil appointments by the Cabinet in the State of New York. It will be found that the appointmeats in Ohio and Massachusetts are equally objectionable. While the spoils in the Empire State were parcelled out between Marcy and Van Buren,thewhole patronage of the Bay State was divided between Caleb Cushing and Gordon Greene of the Boston Post—a mean and dirty paper, of small circulation—who have bestowed it almost exclusively upon abolition- ists, freesoilers, and coalitionists. For Jeffer- son Davis’s betrayal of the interests of the South, in endorsing and honoring its well known enemies in the North, he has been re- warded with ample patronage for the secession- ists, while the Union men of the Southern States, who proved true to the constitation in the day of trial, huve been ignominiously passed over as unworthy of notice. Thus bave the different members of the administration played into each other’s hands and divided the spoils between them for the benefit of their respective friends and follewers,and their own aggrandise- ment, while the President is placed in a false position between them, and compelled to share the odium that ought to fail upon the Cabinet alone. His principles and popularity were ne- ver consulted in the matter at al}, as was evi- dent from the very beginning. Never wae any man so highly recommended for any office ae Augustus Schell for the Col- lectorship of the Port of New York. The whole of the national democrats were concentrated upon him as the candidate of their choice. He had rendered great service in the election, and he wes a man to whom no legitimate objection of any kind could be offered. But be was ob- noxious to Mr. Marey and the free soilers. He was the Chairman of the Anti-Free Soil General Committee, and therefore could not be appoint- ed. Here was the first error of the Cabinet. The nationalists could not present another candidate, and the administration would not make any appointment to the collectorship, while the whigs were permitted to enjoy the fruits of the victory that fairly belonged to the democrats. The excitement was thus kept up among the people. At length a bold stroke was resolved upon. Daniel S. Dickinson, so hated of the Premier, was appointed, in order “kill him off” for higher honors, and to clear the track of all obstructions for Marcy. Mr. Dick- inson saw the point of the hook (a Kinderhook) protruding, and would noi take the bait. Asa dernier resource, Judge Bronson was then ap- pointed, because for years he had not been an active politician, and was therefore less obuox- ious to “the powers that be.” It turns out,’ however, that in this appointee the Cabinet un- expectedly caught a Tartar. But while Mr. Schell was rejected on the ground that he was‘a partisan for Union and national principles, it was curious enough that the equally strong partieans on the other side were appointed freely to prominent and imper- tant offices in this city~Cochrane, Fowler, and Delavan—tbe latter being even chairman of the ‘Soft Shell” General Committee. How, then, could any other results than disa‘fection, disunion, and disruption, be expected? The free soilers were glad to get back into ihe de- mocratic party upon any terms. Their leaders, made impudent by having the spoila lavished upon them, proclaimed these favors as so many triumphs of their principles, and again raised the standard of revolt; while, at the same time, the true and tried men of the party, feoliag that their principles were trampled upon, became disaffected to the administration, aad either mourned in silence over the fatal errors it was every day committing, or openly denounced its treachery to the nation. It has been denied by the Washington Union that the President ever knowingly appointed any free soilers or abolitionists. Then the President has been sadly deceived by bis Cabi- net. Who does not know the sentiments of such men as the free soil editor of the Cleveland (Ohio) Plaingealer? of Robert Dale Owen, the free soiler and socialist, who got the mission to Naples? of Isaac V. Fowler, free soiler, and Jobn Cochrane, free soiler, the worthy nephew ofa rich uncle, one Gerrit Smith, who has so often spat upon the constitution? John A. Dix, perbaps, might be allowed to pass, notwithstanding his free soil antecedents. In his letter to Dr. Garvin, of Georgia, pub- lished in the Heratp of the 29th ult., Mr. Dix refers to a speech he made in the Senate on the 28th of July, 1848, in which he reiterated pro- positions he had previously made to the same body, and the effect of which he said would be “that their adoption as a final adjustment of ihe dispute would bring Cuba into the Union when the proper time should arrive, as a terri- tory first and a State afterwards, without any question as to the existence of slavery in that island.” It is true that he forgets to add that on the 9th of August, twelve days after, he stood upon the celebrated Buffalo platform, whose main plank was that “(no more slave States should be ‘admitied into the Union.” He even took a very active part in the freesoil movement, and ran for the office of Governor of the State on the same ticket with a whig abo- litionist and against the democratic candidates; but, as stated in Mr. O’Conor’s leiter, he- has ever since kept aloof from any public identifi- cation with the free soil faction. They have managed, however, so to kill him politically that the most that could be done for a man of his ability and respectable position was to bury him alive in the sub-treasury, from which he is about to emerge into private life. Therefore, do not criticise his political character too closely— Take him up tenderly, Litt him with care. Ere his limbs, frigidly, Stiffen too rigidly, Decently—kindly— Smooth and compose them, And his eyes close them, Staripg so blindly. But the case of the Surveyor and Postmaster is a horse of another color. John Cochrane, at a meeting of democrats in the Eighteenth ward, on the 15th of June, 1852, declared that the Fugitive Slave law required important amend- ments. Perhaps he would tell us what these amendments are, now that he is standing on the Baltimore platform. About a month before the inauguration, and, of course, long after the Baltimore platform was laid down, he delivered himself of anti-slavery sentiments at a meeting held in Metropolitan Hall. Yet Mr, Guthrie says in his famous letter, that the Presidentand his constitutional advisers had reason to believe that all gentlemen who consented to accept office under the administration stood pledged to the principles and policy of the Baltimore platform: Has Mr. Cochrane, in any speech or letter, be- fore or since his appointment, disavowed his free coil principles, and declared bis intention tocarry out the Fugitive Slave law? If the Cabinet believed such men sincere converts, why did it not appoint some of them United States Marshals and United States District Attorneys? How the mere acceptance of ollice can change a free soiler’s principles we are at a lors to discover. As well might a whig be converied into a democrat by receiving a fat office from a democratic administration. It is related by Huc, a missionary, in his tra- vels through Tartary, that the lamas, or priests, take out their bowels and put them in again at pleasure; and he mentions one par- ticular instance, at the Buddbist temple of Rache-Charin, where a lama, taking his posi- tion on the altar, ripped himself open with a cutlass, in the sight of the thousands of pil- grims who had come from all quarters to witness the religious solemnity. The blood flowed, and the astonished and credalous mul- titude prostrated themselves to the earth. Aiter a few minntes he took up some of the blood in his hand, blew three times upon it, and cast it into the air, and then he passed his hand rapidly over his stomach and it became as whole as it was before. The pious mis- sionary remarks that this must have been done by the agency of the devil; but it was nothing more than the jugglery of o conjuror. Jt was all sleight of band, and the operation wes upon a false stomach, prepareil for the purpose. The true bowels had not been touched. This rite is not a bed illustration of the legerdemain by which such men as Coch- rane and Fowler take out and put in again at will, their polities! bowels. But ignoring * and besotted indeed must be the man who cut Te deluded by such charlatanry. These pl ficians are notoriously as much abolitionists and dree soilers as they ever were, and there c.g be no more doubt in the mind of any rational “Teing, of the Lona fide free soilera of the State of New York having received the lion’s share of the spoils, than there is of any fixed fact in the political annals of the country. The whole force and policy of the Cabinet have been di- rected to re-establish the anti-slavery faction of Van Buren to power in this State and iz the Union. Can the South trast the Van Bureg family again? Marine Affalrs. THE SHIP WESTERN WORLD ASHORE.
