WHOLE WORLD—877 and $79 Brondwey—Afternoon * gad Boning. New York, Wednesday, Marchi i, 1854, —OooooooooOooooooee THE PRINTER TO THE HOTGE. Mr, James Gordon Bennett a ‘Candidate. ‘This is the day set apart for the election of a * Printer to the House of Representatives, in the place ~ of Gen. Armstrong, deesased. There are several candidates from the Union offee—Mr. Arnold Harris, gon-in-law of Gen. Armstrong; Mr. Nicholson, the ) Jeading editor, and the man to whom Gen. Cass ‘wrote the Nicholeon letter; and Col. Forney, Clerk * ‘of the House, being ameng the number. Opposed $0 all these champicne from the office of the Cabinet ‘organ is Mr. Beverly Tucker, of the Sentinel, and Printer to the Senate. We presume that some ore Of the Puion firm will be elected, because, from the hick political fog ‘and distressing party confusion which exist in the House, they might as well secure “the plum to the Union offize as not. It hasa sort @f pre-emption rigtt; and'if it: has done no good to ‘the party, or the Cabinet, or the President, it can’t @e much more mischief. Had sufficient time been allowed us we should have @pnounced Jamgs Gorpon Bennerr, editor and Proprietor of the Nww York Herat, as the Independent constitutional candidate for the print- fing of the House. If the election is even de- ferred for a day or two longer, we desire the members of all parties in the House to consider ts a candidate, on the platform laid down—an inde- pendent constitutional candidate. We incline to Mink that we could turn the House printing to @ greater advantage, in a comprehensive national point of view, thax themission to France. If elect- ed, therefore, House Printer, we may be considered as having accepted the post, and surrendered cur Slaims to the French mission. If not, not. As Printer to the House, we should publish a bold, spirited journal in Washington, upon the plat- form of the constitution and State rights, which ‘would soon place the House in apple-pie order, end im a sound and impregnable position before the sountry. As Moses led the rebellious children of Israel, in spite of themselves, to their destination, so sould we lead the House of Representatives through the waters of the Red Sea, (the Nebraska question, and the wildernes: of Sin, (the spoils,) to the Pro- mised Land cf deliverance and safety. For @iirty-five years the editor of this journal has taken an active part in the political affairs of this country. Nor has he labored without a purpose, or without success. From the time of Jackson tothe present day, our views and policy, and our ticket, in every general election, heve been vindicated by the American people. This was particularly the case im the election of General Pierce; and we doubt not ‘hat our subsequent course will be as deeisively ap- proved, by public opinion when brought to a judg- ment between us and the administration. Ifthe Hovse, therefore, does not elect its Printer ‘to-dsy, and if they desire te be relieved of their pre- gent troubles, and placed upon a sound and solid footing before the country, we announce to them that if James Gorpon Bunnarr is elected their Printer, he will do their work, and redeem his pro- “mises upon the platform of the constitution. And ‘to serve the House, and to put he Presidential ques- ‘téon for 1856 in good shape, we shall surrender all our claims, pretensions and titles to the miasion to France. We are willlng to make this sacrifice, for ‘he relief of Congress and for the good of the country. The News. ‘Two steamers are about due, with later intelligence from Europe, viz.: the Nashville, from Havre for this port, with dates to the ith ult., end the Niagara at Boston, with advices to the 18th. One or both of ‘hese vessels will probably arrive in season to enable as to lay the news before the publis tomorrow. Much of our space is again necessarily devoted to matter relating to the Nebraska question. Gen. ass being univerrally acknowledged as the chief Jeader of the elder branch of the democratic party, we have deemed pre per to publish his speech in full. All sides of the question have now had a thorough hearing, viz.:—Judge Douglas, in behalf of Young America; Mr. Everett, for the wavering Northern whigs; General Houston, solitary and alone among @be Southern democratic opponents; Mr. Toombs, for the Union whige; Messrs. Chase, Wade, Seward, and Sumner, for the free soilera and abslitioniste, and Generai Cass for the old fogies. In addition to these, we have furnished comprehensive synoptical sketches of the remarks of various other gentlemen, ‘an®Mnding those of Mesars. Brodhead and Thompson, @elivered in favor of the bill yesterday. Mr. Clay- ton has the floor, and will continue the argument @oday. The case is to be submitted tothe Senate ‘this week, if possible. The result will be the adop- tion of the bill by a vote of three to one. ‘The free soilers are still doing their utmost to de feat the Nebraska bill. Among the numeroas re- monstrances they poured into the Senate yesterday, was one from bio, declaring that every Congress man who votes for the bil! will be “a traitor to hi« ‘eountry, to freedom and to God, and worthy only of everlasting infamy.” A portion of the members of the Obio Legislature have called for a great State anti-Nebraska Convention, to be held at Colambus ‘an the 224 in#t.; but It not the people be led astray by these singular movements of the [ree soilers, wh ate endeavoring to give currency to the impression that ai!

Tite transactions in the House of Representativer, yesterday will attract attention for thetr curious ead novel character. In the first place, the Commitice on Electiors asked to be discharged from the further consideration of the question as to Mike Walsh's oith- genship, for the reason that the petition contesting his ‘right to. a seat is not cormboratel by proof. ‘A debate followed on the bill praposing to grant about « million and twothinds sere of Vind to Wiecousin for rallrosd purposes, in the course of which Mr. Bkeltm felt himwif ‘called upon to take the stand in detmee of the rail voad interests of New Jersey. ‘The Pree Farm bil was discussed at considerable length, and many singn’ar amendments were proposed. Mr, Cob), who is once more in his eeat, desired to have the prie ciples of the bill extended to single men as well a to heads of families. Mr. Dean wished to confime the bill to Territories—he considerod it impolitice to saddle the States with free furm settlers, Mr. James thought that males over cighteen—at whieh age they are drafted into the army—should come in | for their share of the land; and Mr. Taylor getiagtly moved a similar propositien forthe young women,who at eighteen are privileged to enter the bends of matrimony. Mr. Wright, of Pa., however, put the finishing texch to the arrangements, by proptsing that none bat free white people should be entitled to | free farms. He did this upon the principle that me groes are not citizens under the constiution of the United States. This was carried by a vote of seven- tyone to sixty tix.

A large number of bills were ‘introduced in both branches of our State Legislature yesterday, anda few of no special importance were prmcd. The Senate strack out the personal tie bility clarse in the Dill relative to canal transportation companies. Va- rious amendments were proposed ‘to the temperance bill, among them several with regard’to the making, vending, and drinking of cider. ‘Three persons were killed, and many others se- riously injured, by the falling of the gellery during the performance at the Frenck Opera’‘Ecuse in New Orleans, last Sunday evening. Acoording to the last advices from Mexico, 19th ult., Santa Anna had issued a decree favoring the adoption of a system of reciprocity ir navigation. The New York, Central New Jersey and Pennsyl. vania Telegraph line, using the House patent, opened for business yesterday. The line is complete from Easton, Pa., to this city, via the Central Railroad, and offices have been opened at Plainfield, Phillips- burg, Belvidere and Elizabethtown. During the afternoon a large number of ladies assembled in the office at the latter place, and were-addressed by Pro. fessor Alexander, who was stationed at Easton, a distance of seventy miles. We have a full report of this lightning speech, but are compelled to defer its publication. We would direct attention to the report of the Sixth and Eighth Avenue Railroad case in the Supe- rior Court. The question comesup now on a motion to amend the complaint, and introduce therein the resclutions which passed the Common Council, au- thorizing these companies to lay down a railroad track. After this has been disposed of, a motion to extend the injunction will be heard. Wendell Phillips delivered the twelfth lecture. of the New York Anti-Slavery Society's’ course last evening, before a large audience. We have no room for a sketch of his remarks to-day. As usual, our columns conteia a large amonnt of interesting and important matter, to which we can not afford space to refer in detail. The headings of the various articles will suffice to give the reader a clue as to their contents. The Nebraska Question—Its E ffect upon the Political Parties of the Day. The speech of Gen. Cass upon the Nebraska question betrays a lively apprehension con- cerning the probable“results of this agitation upon Presidential aspirants and the political parties of the day. He would rather that a si- lent acquiescence in the Missouri compromise had been recognized in the bili of Judge Doug. las—he wonld have preferred plain sailing be- fore pleasant breezes, to the dangers of what is called in the Mexican Gulf “a Norther,” with a rugged shore and noisy breakers upon every side. But as the administration are in for it, as fe Senate is in for it, and as the country is im for it, he has even resolved “to face the music,” and. sink or swim, to risk his chances upon the platform of the fundamental law of the land. The agitation which we predicted upon the introduction of the Kansas-Nebraska bill into the Senate is already realized. All the free- seil and anti-slavery elements and sentiments of all parties and factions in the North, are fully aroused, and from thé mass of remonstrances against the impending repeal of the Missouri inhibition, which are pouring into Congress from day ‘+0 day, from the Northern States, it is evident, what- ever may be the fate of this bill, that an agita- tion has been excited which will extend and give shape to the Presidential campaign of 1856. Itis equally manifest that this overral- ing question will demoliah all existing esti- mates for the Presidency, and bring about a sectional reconstruction of parties which may shake our “‘firm-set Union” to its foundations. The repeal of the Missouri compromise, rest- ing as the measure does upon the spiyit and intent of the fundamental law, was not a Presi- dential project on the part of Judge Douglas. Nor was it, on the other hand, a reckless ven- ture from # sudden inspiration, The original bill of Mr. Douglas may be aptly illustrated by those ancient lines of doggerel, the first demo- cratic application of which, we believe, was made to Martin Van Buren, in the height of his power under the wing of Gen. Jackson:— nd wires out matter still {9 doubt nake which made the track Was ging South, or coming back Tt was the amendmesrt of Mr. Dixon, of Ken- tucky, proposing fairly and squarely, bluntly and plumply, fo so many words, to repeal the Missouri restriction, whieh brought up the issue {a its radical and legitimate shape before Mr. Dougla® and the Senate. Then followed a momentoes democratic Senatorial: caucus, the Southern members giving the cae; then fol- lowed a still more awful consultation with the President and the Cabinet; but the Southern Senators having dictated their terma, there was no alternative but to ran the gauntlet. The bill was modified—the administration wav dra- gooned into the service; and the Cabinet org, which had deprecated the proposed repav! as inexpedient, injudicious, and hazardous. whipped round into line; and from that day— that important Sabbath day, which witnessed the consummation of this arrangement—to this hour, the Southern Senators have had the ad- ministration, Mr. Douglas, Mr. Cass, and all the democratic aspirants for the succession, except Gen. Houston, in pretty fair discipline and in good working ordez, The radigal issue agreeg rouri act, and, to cep the climax, an effigy of Judge | @7,0n is due, however, to expedient of expunging the Missouri line from the map of the United States, ‘Thus was the Kansas-Nebrarka bill brought into Its present -hape for the extinction of the slavery Yne of demarcation of 1820.

So far as Europe is:‘concerned there might possibly be nothing in this plan to which we should be called upon to demur. Whether it befor the benefit of the nations of Europe that territorial aggressions should be prohibited and each na- tion suffered to establish whatever form of gov- ernment it may prefer, is a question which they, not we, are entitled to decide ; it would at least recommend itself as being obviously calculated to advance the cause of constitu- tional liberty throughout the old continent.

Under the supposl- tion that hard names and strong writing are the same thing, this violent socialist cotempo- rary pronounces the man who differs with it in opinion, whether upon slavery, quack medi- cines or railroad corporations, as nothing less than @ liar, a caitiff, ora scoundrel. Thus, is denounces the Camden and Amboy Railroad Company for getting a bil} half way through the New Jersey Legislature to their advan- tage, as “traitors,” “ Judases,” and “ Benedict Arnolds.” But what ai@ the real merits of the case ? The Camden and Amboy Company have a monopoly of the railroad right of way across the empire of New Jersey, ef which Commodore Stockton is the Emperor, just as absolute in his power as Governor Gil Davis is over Coney Island, From the centre al] round to the sea. Well, as a condition of this monopoly, the company pay so much per capita upon their passengers across the State; and this tax, levied upon the people of the other States, exempts the Jerseyman from taxation for State purposes. In other words, the travel between Philadel- phia and New York, and vice versa, pays the whole amount of the State expenses of the Jer- sey Empire. And the Jersey people consent to this because it pays; and yet the company which confers all these blessings upon the Jerseymen are denounced as “ traitors” because they suc- ceed in an extension of their monopoly. Suppose the railroad companies which centre in this city, upon the privilege of a similar per capita tax upon passenfers, were to relieve the people of this metropolis of their five milliens of dollars of taxation, would it not be a rather difficult task to induce our fellow-citizens to shift this immense tax back upon their pockets? Just so it is with the Jersey people. They have an emperor over them, and his monopoly con- trols the State; but he and his monopoly col” lect from outsiders the State taxes for the dear people, and the dear people are satisfied with the equivalent.

Our Foreign Policy, Instructions, we are told, have at length been despatched to Mr. Buchanan to inquire the meaning of Lord Clarendon’s assurance that Great Britain and France were of one mind on | American as well as European questions. If the report be true, we are surprised and glad te hear it. We had no idea that the all-important controversies on diplomatic costume had left Mr. Marcy time to think of such matters: and the slip-shod system on which our whole foreign policy has been conducted under the present administration would only have been carried out consistently had Lord Clarendon’s signifi- cant disclosure been allowed to pass without comment. We are left to conjecture the nature of the instructions that have been sent to our Minister in England. Ifthey have not been plain and unequivocal Mr. Marcy will earn another claim to public odium. Such language as that uttered by Lord Clarendon, in his position as Foreign Minister of a friendly power, can only be ex plained by a frank and thorough disclaimer of apy such meaning os it bears on its face. With anything*short of this it will not comport with our honor and interests to be satisfied. Had his threat been the first intimation of any de- sign on the part of Great Britain to interfere in the affairs of this continent, it would have been our duty to notice it in a manner which could not admit ot dispute, and to notify Great Britain that the policy of this government with regard to other nations on this continent had not varied perceptibly since the days of Mon- roe. Coming as it does after the emphatic as- surance of his predecessor that England and France will not suffer the United States to absorb Cuba without at least an attempt to prevent it. it constitutes in itself an overt act of aggression, and a constructive interference in our national concerns. Had our Secretary notified the world that the United States and any ether nation were of one mind in all ques- tions of European or Asiatic policy, and inti- mated dictinctly that they would interfere to prevent Russia advancing against Turkey, or creat Britain consummsting her conquest of Bir.mab, the,announcement would assuredly have been construed as an insult toall other powers, and Gravt Britain would have been the first to resent it.

Neither the Emperor of France nor the ministers of Great Britain understand our position and views on the subject of foreign intervention If our delegate to the congress of na- the prevailing ignorance in Europe, and placing the United States squarely on the platform which it is our duty and intention to occupy, his time would not be lost, and dangers | in the distance might possibly be averted. Tue Rauroan Laxp Srous—A Monyrxo's Wonx.—The Senate of the United States the | other morning passed a number of bills, mak- ing grants of the public lands to certain rail- roads, as follows:--To Louisiana, for a railroad from Shreveport to Mississippi river; to Wis- consin, for a railroad from Madison to Mississippi river; to Iowa, for certain railroads therein; to Alabama, for a railroad from Georgia line, on Chattahoochee river, to the city of Mobile; to Alabama, for a railroad from Selma, on the Ala bama river, to Guuter’s landing on the Ten- nesseec river, and a railroad from Memphis, on the Mississippi river. to connect with the Nash- ville and Charleston railroad; to Califoraia, for a railroad from San Francisco to San Jose, from Benicia to Marysville, from Sacramento city via Auburn to Nevada city, and from Stockton to Sonora; to Florida, for several railroads in that State was passed; to Arkaneas, for a rail- road from s landing on the Mississippi river to the Texas boundary, near Fulton. Here is an aggregate of several millions of acres of the public domain swallowed down ia a morning's meal hy the Senate. A few more such meals, and there will be nothing lett for Bennett's land distribution bill or the home- stead bill. The railroad land speculators will have picked out and appropriated al! bet the deserts and the mountains. While the work is | going on, should not our New York railroad | companies put in for their share? The pablic lands belong to the United States—that is, to | all the States; and if these lands are to be | squandered away among the railroad land job- bers, New York and all the old States are en- titled to their proportion. All these bill», | when they go to the House, should be tacked to Bennett's land bill, and then that bill should be laid npon the table. We hope it will be done. Let these land jobbers buy t.eir lands like other people, us? We pay five millions of taxes, and get no- thing for it but mud and filth, and disease and corruption. We make new charters, we elect new fathers for the corporation; but our taxes are still increased, the money disappears like snow flakes in the North river, and we have nothing to show for it but an increase of mud and filth, an increase ef speilsmen, and an in- crease of corruption. If, therefore, the people of New York city can submit to be taxed five millions, to be squandered away, surely the people of New Jersey may be excueed in prolonging a mono- poly and her Emperor who exempts them from State taxation entirely. It is a mere difference of taste. For our part, we think the Jersey people show a great deal more practical, every day, old-fashioned common sense, than we do between taxes and no taxes. And we can con- sent to the continued existence of the Camden monopoly if they will only reduce their fare to @ reasonable limit, give us better cars, and make better time with the through passengers and the mails. We hope the Emperor of New Jersey will not forget the travelling public who pay the Jersey taxes. So that justice is done in this respect, we care net a fig if the Jerseymen pays not the first penny of taxes till doomsday. Our five millions are quite enough for us.
