| mame The Whig Party. (From the Baltimore American, July 3.) THR WHIG PARTY NOKTH AMD SOUTH, Tehas been with a feeling wore of amusement than O€ apy other emotion, tuat we have watched the | course of the N. Y. Tvi/vne in relation tothe whig perty, Though that j ureal ons Ruasaneberuely announced that it bud giveu up the aad woul leave them to their fate, it seems still to consider {teelf authorised to announce the dissolution of the party, North and South, and to have, by tacit con- | sent, installed iteelf as the loader of its own sectional fragment. We say that t .is course on the part of | the Tribune has been the cause rather of amusement | then Spprebearion; it was certainly not unexpected, | and not likely to prove very dangerous oitber to the | perpetuity of the Union or tw the interests of | any of its But it bas been with surprise | an A we have beard thia insave cry of the | of the whix party evhoed by whig jour- oats of the South, who. with unauthorised eager- nees, if not with indecent haste, have resolved that henceforth Northern and Southern whigs are sepa rated in interest and irsetrievably cast out from the | rsuance of any common object. On the part of | be Tribune and ‘its co-adjutors there is @ definite objeot which they hope are by tois disso'ution. The formation of a sectional pasty, that will em- body their hostility to the South d_ give perma- nence to their oppesition to sia » bas ben and will continue to the main object of their efforts, and for this purpose (ars have eadeavored to appro- priate the Northern whig party as the foundation apon which they are tw rear the edifice of political aboliti ism, aud through which they seek to | mount into office and power. Ths is the scheme of the abolitionists, and it is one, we regret to say, there seems at prevent by far too great a probabilit: of their carrying out. ifthe whig party in the Sout will allow passion rathe: thin reason to control its movements and its decision in this important epoch of ita political exi-tence, Ttistightin such weigity matters as those in- volved in the prope diolution of a national party to look ati ll the = rroidinyg circumstinces riyand to spevk of tem #ith cutive candor. What tocn is the pitren: aspect of affairs? The whig party inthe North @a most a « unit o; po ed to the Nebraska bill; o: tue ame que-t ou tue de- iecrate are vded; th publi: men, office- sodexpecta: ¢ «fie fhe with a small ft E le of the poriy, suppo ill simply becu wi ministre mre, Whiist the great max party are op- itoit, Wethick it an undeniable fact, ant hat cannot too xeon be adr dd, bees se it oust eventually be foi ¥ recognition, that the North is largely oy the repeal of he Missouri compromi dit be hid on that simple proposition, gate majority against te repeal that would sur- prise the country. With trie os» it appears to us, periectly undeniable fac! in view, we have a far higher respect for the whig party North than for the democratic pu:ty North, even though the latter oe A this particular issue, nominally oceupy a position more in consonance with our own ‘ews. We think the whigx rep esent the povular sentiment of the North much more truly than their show an agere | plain. , ed by the testof su opponenta, and our demoviatic Jnstincts are suffi- | clertly atrong to insure for them our respect whilst we differ t1om their views. But dees it follow that beceu-e the whigs of the North cppose the Ne- bra: ka bill, the; munion with their biethen of the South, and that the latter are to join iu the hue and cry which, amid the excitement of a sertinr a! isstie, ia to dr.ve them into the arms of abiliio im? We can sec, with painful apprehension, how such @ resultis to be Brought about, and cann: t withhold our deprecation that some Southern whic journals should bave al- ready committed then selves to a course, which, however they may look upon it, in ils practical effects will ren er to abolitionism the most substan- tial aid and comfort. We object both to the fact of making the Nebraska ucation @ tes! of whig orth«doxy and to the autho- ity of those who seem anxious to dissolve the party on that issue. The question of the repeal of the Missouri compromire har never been made a whig doctrine—it was not morted when the whigs met in the national ceuncil—it formed no issue upon which whigs, North or South, were elected to Congress, and the simple fact that it is opposed by the North- ern whigs does not warrant the hasty conclusion that the party is to forsake its national organization, and to-become segregated fragments, powerless by ‘ives and inevi ay destined to be made the wed tools of those with whom they coalesce. Ithaa, however, been urged, and with some tratb, that the Northern whigs have not been content with @ mere opposition to the Missouri compromise, but that they have colleagued with abolitionists, and the cry for the repeal of the fngitive slave law has been mingled with their demand for the repeal of the Missouri compromise. We have no disposition todeny any fact in the case,ani must admit the fomte of this objection. But its force is more appa- rent than real, and it will rest very much with the whigs of the South whether the threatened compact of Northern whigs with the freeso!l aud aboli tie® factions shall become areal and tangible danger to fhe South, or spend itself in the mere ebullitions which anger and disappointment hav paroxysms of unwise anger the Northern whigs have ‘almost offered themselves as the willin, allies of abolitionism, bet there is stil room for confidence that the men who rallied around Clay and Webster, who stood firmest ance foremost in defence of the compromise mea- sures, will not, by any ordinary cause, be driven snuto the permanent support of measures threaten- ing the pérpetuity of the or dishororable to the South, Indeed, we think the revulsion that will bring the Northern whig party back to its na tional fealty has already commenced. Their press ‘a rapidly opening its eyes to the fact that the clamor raised for the restoration of the Missouri coments is but the blind under which aboli- tionism seeks to advance its schemes of agitation, and to convulse and Seti ultimately destroy the Union. And the fruit of this conviction is already becoming pe The New York Express hasin- dignantly rebuked Senator Sumner's recent traitor- Fw neat arts of his obligations to obey and respect the corstiution—the Boston Courier haa denounced the, disunion spirit that is corrupting Mass oh 'a—the New York Commercial has exposed and held up to common contempt the Massachusetts whig address—the New York Courier, with forcible vertiser repulsed the attempted interference of the New York Tribune by which it sought to bring about a coalition between the whigs and free soilers of gan. These are all evidences—and time and would doubtless abundantly multiply them — the storm which threatened to commit the whiga of the North to the meet of abolitionism, | is spending itself, and that an interval of reflection—such as the anticipated adjournment of Congress will allow—and the absence of all causes of irritation upon the part of the South, will be pro- ductive of the best effects in calming the agitation iced by the Nebraska question. Awe however, our objections to the dissolu- tion of the whig party at this tinfe on higher ground than concerns the mere perpetuity of the party it- elf, Ith dissolution will add a most powerful stimu- ius to the formation of a Northern sectional party. There is, we honestly believe, a vast ing 4 of na- tional conservatism still represented by the whig party in the North. The members of that party dave opposed the repeal of the Missouri compro- mise, but it does net follow that they are opposed co the South on other issues which far more vitally affeot it, nor that they will join in a crusade against ita institutions, if not provoked thereto, The Soath wil commit a mischicvous and a hurtful error by classing all the opponents of the Nebraska bill as abolitanists, and by such a course must multiply ene- mies where it bas the power to make friends. There is now no immediate occasion for avy declaration of their position upon the part of the Southern whigs. By waiting they will commit themselves to no course that hereafter be a cause of regret, nor in the least degree embarrass their future action. But a precipitate course now, unjust tothe whigs of | the South because it will not meet with their unani- | mous sanction, and irritating to the whigs of the North because it will seem to be a hasty prejudg- ment of their motives and intentions, may involve in it evils of a magnitude that cannot be considered without But we from this too hastily pronounced | sentence of dissolution against the whig party to more apticipations. Adopting the words f the Intelligencer, we would remind thore who bave pronounced this sentence: — That it is not given to one, nor yet to two or three matcontents, however re«pectabie, to divolve an old ant patriotic party, founded on the broad prinetples of pab io Uterty and 8 just admintet:ation of the governmect, aap which bas been cem:nted by united a les for a common object.

Seward as their candidate. ! One thing more we must say: A larger portion of the democratic prees than we have ever known Ix fore, have swung aloof from the conservative prin- ciples of the pational democracy, and, with the New York Evening Post at their head, are taking pert with the whig and abolition papers of the North in the bitterest and most insulting warfare upon slavery, the South and everything gouthern, | thaifwe have ever before sustained. ‘ith a few | honorable exceptions, New England has formally | tbrown off sll pretence of nationality and conserva- tism, and rashed into a fanaticism wilder and more | colitis than even New England has ever shown hefere, If the magves of the Southern pants could see a tithe of the abuse and falsehood daily heaped upon them by more than half of the Northera press, the fnion could not last another presidential term. Natirnaluity was never at so tow an ebb io the Northern States ; the constitution never possessed so litile vitality ; and the South and hor instituttoas | were never regarded with go little tolearnce or re» spect. 1¢ is plain that the lee 0 ganization, is entirely and finaliy broken up. Nor will the national democratic party at the North be able to stand up, for a while, against the combina- tion of whigs, » soilers, and abolitionists arrayed against it. a probable thata union will be form- ed at the North, hetween the few silver gray whigs ibat are still true to the conrtitution, ana the na- asa forlorn hope of defence for nm und the Union, t of politics at the North, it is anx- pliticians at the South what he answer, to us, seems arty still tas a national cal measures for which It er of a century, have ‘ty, a8 a national or- the on In this as, iously discn: parties shal The democratic organization, The poli hus contended for aq! triumphed at the polls everywhere in the South, for a series of yeu dare triomphently vindicat- sful experiment. ' Moreover, these measures are founsed upon priociples which, while they are pational, are, at the seme time, the sole bulwarks of the So \th against abolition aggres- ion through ihe instrumentulity of the federal gov- ernment. While they ensure und promote the na- tional growth aud prosperity, they seo expres designed to secure the safety, well being, and invio- ility of Southern institutions. Under these cir- cumstances, It is asking too much of vs to surren- der our organization, ignore and abandon our prin- ciples, and unite with the whigs in a section: ganization. For one, we are still Speed toa sectional orga- nization. It is a source of encouragement and hope with the Southern democracy, that Southera whiga are at last so thoroughly united in defence of Southern institutions, principles, and honor. Bat that is no reason why we should disbard our party, and join in a purely sectional organization. If the whig party South can do no better, they must come into our organization, vote our measures and prin- | ciples, and help to save the Union and defend the South on those democratic measures which have | proved to be the Union's only security. Mahomet must come to the mountain, The democratic party has yet vitality at the North. Its strength will aug- went there. The tornado of abolition fanaticiam | will weep over it and rage furiously for a while, but it will only be to leave the political atmosphere more serene in the end, and teach all conservative, good and patriotic men the value of national’ prin: | ciples, catholic sentiments, and constitutional fide- lity. We cannot abandon that forlorn hope of na- tional democracy at the North, who arc 0 bravely fighting the cause of the Constitution and Union | against overwhelming odds, by surrendering our national principles and organization. They talk of forming a it national Union | arty, and of special organization to save the Union. | The Hattimore democratic platform of 1852 is the only safe basis for a Union party. The national principles there announced are sufficient for pre- serving the confederacy intact. If aggressive com- binations of parties at the North should force the | South into sectional organisation, the principles she | would proclaim would still be no other than the | principles of that platform. Parties may change, political combinations and organizations may as- fume new phases; times and circumstances, issues and mevsures may change, but national principles cannot change, so long as the constitution is recog- nized s@ the basis and bond of the confederacy. The democratic platform is based upon the consti- ; the democratic organization rests upon the | ; und we cannot compromise our organiza our pletform without compromising the con stitution. | | Destauctive Fire at Richmondville, Schohas rle County, New York. 5 OF PROPERTY~—RUMORED LOSS OF LITE. | (rem the Albany Express, July 8 } We regret to learn that the Richmondville Union Seminary is again in ashes. The fire broke out be- tween four and five o'clock on Friday afternoon. It was first discovered between the rg and the roof, near the belfry. ‘The main building was five stories high, and upwards of 150 feet long. The fire apread with great rapidity, and was at once beyond reach and rapidly consumed, the edifice being of wood. ‘the students, numbering over 200, male and female, | escaped without i ee They saved the most of | their effects. The ding was new, having been erected during the past year. It was first occapied in October last. It was built in the most improved style, at a cost of $80,000, a portion of which was covered by insurance—but to what extent, we did not learn. This is the second time this seminary has been destroyed by fire. The first conflagration occurred in December, 1852, after having been oceu- pied but a few weeks. It was called the “Richmond- ville Union Bemin and Female Collegiate Insti- tute.” It was established in October, 1852, under the management of the Rev. J. L. G. McKown, of | the Methodist church. Since the commencement of the present quarter it has been under the presi- dency of Prof. C. IH. Gardiner, A. M., and up to the time of its destruction was in # very flourishing con- dition. Prof. G. was in this city on Saturday morn- ing, and only returned to Richmondville in time to find a on of ashes in the place of where the hand- some ecminary stood when he left. Richmondville is in Schohane, 47 miles from this city, and isa beantiful and lovely place. The seminary was own- ed by a stock om It is almost certain that the fire waa the work of an incendiary. We lcerned jast evening from a ‘student of the seminary, that nearly all the books and philosophi- cal aparatus of the seminary, together with much of the clothing and other property of the students, were destroyed. He also reports that two of the femute pupils were said to have been barnt to death, and that there were many narrow escapes. We trust the rumored loss of lives is incorrect. GREAT LO. i t Extraonpinany Covnrerrert Com.—We under- stand that under the instructions of the Secretary of the Treasury, given some months sinco, to the mint of the United States, to collect specimens of | counterfeit coins in cirevlation, for the purpose of | examination and report, one has lately been rec ived of a very singular character. It purports to be of a Mexican dollar, coined at the city of Mexico in 1851. Two pieces bave been assayed, and give an average fineness of 776 thousandths, and a consequent value amount of gold contained in them is sufficient to a0d 32 cents to the valne of each, after paying the charge of separating, making a net value of 103, cents; and if to this the usual i s added, the worth of this counterfeit coin is actral proyes them to be a spurious issue, There is also an irregularity in the letters Mexicana, which is re- gurded as @ test for throwing them out, as we Jearn rom a source familiar with them in Mexico, where they appear to have had at times a considerable cir- | calbtion, The silver produced by the Mexican mines is understood to contain gold, but generally too small an amount to defray tho expense of ing.

Talman and Jason Ma; The Hudson River Railroad Company.—Slosson, Justice.—The complaint and affidavits upon which the application was made to me in this cause, pre- sented a proper case for immediate relief, and I ac- cordingly granted a temporary injunction, with an order to show cause why it should not be made per- petual. The nuisence complained of, if only half as grievous as it is alleged in the complaint to be, would justify nad ener of ey in aes Proper case, the papers presen’ me, et ne casary oooditision was, that the defendants were directly instramental in procuring or causing the nuisance to the full extent complained of; the defendants have come in with their answer and nu- toerous affidavits, in which the incumbering of the streets complained of is alleged to be the voluntai and unnecessary act of the emigrants themselves. It is not denied that these people arrive here in reat numbers, under contracts made with them abroad, by which, on their arrival, they are to be re- ceived on board of the company’s cars at the foot of Canal street. If the Cage ete in any way partics to this arrangement, or wn to be privy to it, I should have no hesitation in making thi injunction perpetual. Such a tact would present the case a nuisance created by the defendants themselves; but the affidavits fail to connect the defendants with these contracts, and in #0 far as the gathering of theee crowds in the streets, and their continuance there by day and night, is the neces result or consequence of any acts cx cxnissions of the defendauts, at least to the ex- tent complained of, the answer and affidavits on the part of the defendants certainly exculpate them The setaden ty Say soa ath ge has heen recently opened as complaint and aver that it has been kept in the pnd building for several years past, and that it 's eeparated from the p jntiffy’ hotel by a space of ground some 147 feet in extent, on which stands a twostory brick building occupied as the office of nice company, and a wooden shca used by them asa branch depot for freighting business; and they show by their answer and affidavits that they can Transport a8 many a8 1,000 ‘emigrant pas: ra in one train, and that the time of departure of these trains has been for two years past either at 6 or 64 Pf. M., and never carlier'than 6 P, M.; and that the arrival cf the emigrastts at the station at any consi- derable length of time before the starting of the train, and their stay at or near said station after- wards, is entirely volantary on their part and whol- y unnecessary, either for the convenience of the emigrants or of the defendants, and ia not and ne ver has been in pursuance of the wish of the com; wi and that the only time necessarily occnpiei by ese passcngérs at the depot, is that which is taken up in procuring their tickets and weighing their baggage. It being admitted that the defendants are engaged in a lawful business, ueither in itself nor by necessary consequence a nuisance, or inju- rious to the health, comfort or pecuniary interests of the neighborhood; it would, under these denials and allegations, be improper to continue the injunc- tion. But while I dissolve the injunction there is one aspect of the case on which | feel it my duty to expreas a strong opinion. The complaint alleges,and it is not denied, that the emfgrant office (where the tickets are procured,)is x twelve by fifteen feet in dimensions, and not of a sufficient capacity to hold fif- ty persons. Lf the company transport but 600 pas- sengers a day, much time must be necessarily con- sumed in furnishing tickets to that number, and in arranging their ba; ¢. Itis true cach nger on procuring his ticket nay step imme ly into the cars; but it is somewhat unreasonable to require the first comers to wait in such narrow accommoda- tions while the whole 600 or 1,000, as the case ma: he, are procuring their tickets. Even if it be admit- tea that this number of tickets does not necessarily require an equal number of persons to apply at the office, but that a great proportion of the number consists of families for whom a single application alone is necessary, still much time must of ne- cessity be consumed in providing all the tickets re- quired, and in assorting, weighing and marking the baggage of so numerous a company. For the con- venient and proper transaction of this business, especially in so crowded and densely populated a portion of the city as this is, a amall office of the size this is admitted to be, cannot, we may roasona- bly suppose, be sufficient. The company may not be ined from the conducting of this their law- ful business, but they should so condact it as to ren- der it in tho least possible degree annoying to their neigbbors--even 9 lawful business, improperly con- ducted, may become a nnisance: This business should be carried on with reference to the num- bers, character and condition of these people; and all means should be taken to expedite them in pro- curing their ticketa and seating them in the cars. If one office alone is not sufficient to secure this end, others should be opened and additional gasistanee in other respects procured. Such on offTrt on the part of the company won!ld greatly relieve the diff culty and would put the emigrants wholly in the wrong, if, with all necessary vonveniences for the prompt procurement of their tickets, they still per sisted in spending the days and nights abont the premises, it would be wholly withont the fault of the deferdants, and it would be a case proper onl for the interference of the city authorities. Should, however, the company so conduct their business— lawtal thongh it be in iteelf—as to render it in fact anuisance to the neighberhoo! from the want of Ps fk gies gh ilities in its management, is Court would unquestiovably interfere upon a | 6 proper case being shown. The injunction must be Olasolved, but ut the circnmstances of the case the plaintiffs must be relieved from costs. Sw Court—In Chambers. fore Hon. Judge Clerke.

There are sone | Cenrors of manners among us who think (rat this is an unpatriotic example, that these persons ovg st | to spend their revenue at home, that they are to | prene to imitate the Inxurious expenditure, as we'l as ape the aristocratic classes into whose circle they are ambitious of entering, at any sacrifice of the simplicity that best suits the republican character Now, if men of leisure in the United States, bhav- ing adequate income, choose to spend that income abroad, we really cannot perceive on what ground | of propriety there should bean set ee into their habits aud mcde of life, whether they choose P iris | or New York for their place of abode. These in- | quisitors woald square every thing, private and pub- Hic, the social life of the American traveller abroad, equally with the costume of our minisers and con- suls, by a standard of which republican plainness would be the pervading element. The number and « Character of the routes our countrymen might fre- coe the clasees with whom they might associate, the opinions they might utter, must | this standard of simplicity. Such inquisitors would, | no doubt, if they had power, prescribe sumptuary | laws for indulgence, in home as well as foreign lax- urles, in dress, entertainments, &c. These things are not worthy of notice and animad- version, Such of our citizens as indulge in ex- travagant outlay in the Se of caer ve soon Dann nalty of their extrav: ce, while such 48 ape aristocratic manners can do no prejudice to our natioval character. They form a very small number of the class who visit those capitals. We bave better reliance on the manliness of our coun- trymen than to suppose that they would sink ita traits in the effeminacy, and become morally or politically corrupt, in the atmosphere of courts and aristocratic circles. If they remain sbeentees when their country is at war, and evade the duties which patriotism or public obligation enjoin, this, when- | ever it occurs, would present a different phase of absenteeism. ‘We have, however, no fear but what, on the summons of their country, the absentees will be ready to answer it, and share in any service for which they may be wanted. We dislike the censor- sbip that would subject to injurious suspicion those who choose to exercise the peviions of. their residence and spending their money where how they may elect.—Charleston News, June 30. Patan Casvarty.—On Saturday sfternoon, about half-past three o’clock, as several laborora were engaged in making @n excavation in the rear art of Bt. Joseph’s church, in Willing’s alley, a fatal accident occurred, resulting in the iam death of Richard Nagle. ‘The deceased, with others, had been engaged during the day in wheeling the loose dirt into the street. In digging, an old well, about sixteen feet in depth, was discovered, which had been topped over with brick and earth, The laborers h: pass over the well with their bar- rows with the loose carth. In making his last trip, the covering of the well gave way, when Nagle fell to the bottom, and on him his barrow of dirt, and a large stone, weighing about five hundred pounde, which was lying by e edge of the well, together with the barrow of a co-laborer who was following immediately after him. Measnres were soon taken to extrica‘e the unfortunate man, but some half hour elapsed before he was got out, when it was found hat his breast and head were horribly mashed, causing instant death. The deceased was about thirty years of age. He leaves a wife and one child.—Philadelphia Sun, July 3. i Coroners’ Inquests.
