We think so, But it appears otherwise. The Buf falo organ of Mr. Fillmore says, that “if there is apy thing dear to the hearts of the Know No things, it is to wfite the political epitaph of the noted political managers to whom we have al- luded ”— meaning W.

But he bas persevered, ‘until at length he bas almost persuaded the Archbishop hims If t! a: he isa Chr'stian, lacking only the seven sacraments to mike him a bona fide Irish Catholic. Itis at such a conjuncture of good relations that the terrible order of the cabalistic Know Nothings appears and con‘ronts our hope- ful Senator face to face. Hehas gone too far— he cannot recede. And so, making a merit of necessity, he rises up in his place in the Ame- rican Senate, and, declaring that he knowsnoth- ing of the Know Nothings, repudiates all poli- tical sympathy or association with them. “Dear tothe heart” of W. H. Seward is the precious jewel of consisténcy. Having defined his position, his organs ap- plaud it to the echo. But the terrible Know Notbings are nothing abashed. They are iu- visible, but they are everywhere, as the suc- cessive elections, North, South, East and West abundantly prove. The overwhelming defeat of Col. Benton is especially calculated to strike terror into the Seward camp. What follows? Our leading organ in behalf of Seward and his projected Northern anti-slavery alliance lets up a jittle on the Know Nothings, and dis. charges a broadside upon the bigotry, the follies and the crimes of the Irish Catholics. It ar- raigns them as false to religion and morality upon the temperance question, and challenges even the Archbishop to answer the indictment. But as the French Assembly said when a re gency was proposed in behalf of the family of Louis Philippe, “it comes too late.” If the Buffalo Commercial may be relied upon, nothing now will satisfy the Know Nothiogs but the “political epitaph” of W. H. Seward. Hence the unspepkable tribulation into which the violent philosphers of our elder Seward or- gan have fallen. They are seized with dismay The enemy which threatens them is invisible; but it is known to operate with a purpose and with effect. It may bea fleeting political apparition—the unsubstantial phantasm of aday. But what comfort does that afford, if during the day of its political existence, thia mysterious order writes “ the political epitaph” of W. H. Seward? What becomes of his Pre- sidential programme, should a Legialature be chosen in November mysteriously pledged against bis re-clection to the Senate? We don’t know ; but’ there is something evidently very dreadful to contemplate in the horrid threat- enings of the Buffalo Commercial. “If thore The programme for Congressional nomina tions is fast filling up. In the Third district, (wards First, Second, Third, Fifth and Kighth,) now represented by Hiram Walhridge, Alexan- der H. Shultz, (Seward,) James H. Welsh, The- odore A.

Inu the Eighth district, (wards Twelfth, Eighteenth, Nineteenth, Twenty-first and Twenty-zecond,) the whigs have under consideration Abram Wakeman, A. C. Kingsland, and Erastus Brooks. Wakeman’s stock is good. Such is a brief review and muster of the forces. Speculation upon results at this time is utterly useless, as the strength and inten- tions of the new organizations, (native and temperance,) cannot be correctly estimated. A quarrel among the Kaow Nothings or a split in the temperance ranks would be a god-send to the democrats just now. Tux Cuban Cerzsration To-Day.—The third anniversary of the death of Gon. Narcisso Lopez will be celebrated this evening at the Chinese Assembly Rooms, by our Quban fellow citizens. Democrats of all nations are invited to attend, and the French, Italian, Ger- man, Polish, and Hungarian societies wili be fully represented there. Several distinguished speakers, foreigners and Americans, are ex- pected to address the assembly; and the cere- mony altogether, we have no doubt, will pass off with more than usual interest. But though we admire the enthusiasm which would perpetuate the remembrance of great men and true patriots like Lopez, it does seem to us that the desrest wish of the Cuban mind is as far off its accomplishment asever, The political aspect of the sceinpre fiel isla has remained unchanged during the last three years. The power of the opressor has increased, while the power of the oppressed has rather diminished. Filibusteros still existe in this country: but their designs upon the ieland are ill-judged, vague, and chimerical in the extreme, and, far from achieving any conspicuous triumph, it seems now as improbable as ever that the stars are destined to wave over the Moro of Havana.

The wor'd has iar ly recovered frem the thrill of herro: wth wiih the news of the Greytown outrage was seceived, beore we are notified that mischief is brewiog, under the ausp ces of an ageut of M rey’s, in the Dominican republic: On ‘he 17.h of July last, the United States frigae Co'umb’a, the flag ship of the home equadron, ar: ived at Samana with Gen. Cazenan, United 8 ates diplomatic agent, on board: and the steamer Allany was announced as being on her wey (0 the same port. The appearance ot these vessels seems to hive created much ap- prehens’on mm tho West Indies; some asserting that it was the design of our government to obtain by fraud or force a footing in San Do- mipgo; others believing that Gen. Cazenau’s miasion was merely to effect some changes in our intercou se with the Dominicans, and espe- cial y to obtain a grant of certain privileges in the barbor of Samana. Such, however, is the dresd which Spaniards entertain of American filibusteros, and such -- since the Greytown ont- rage—the distrust with which foreign nations regard our government, that the mere arrival of the Columbia has thrown the Spanish races in the Indies into a ferment. Samana bas long been ao theatre of diplo. matic squabbles. When Louis Philippe was King of Fracce, he sent ships there, and con- trived to conclude a treaty with the Do- minican . government, by which extensive privileges were granted to the French in that harbor. His ministry seemed to consider that they had established a permanent footing there: and since that time, no change has been effected, to our know- ledge, in the relations between St. Domingo and France. Shortly after the French move- ment, a project was set on foot here to throw a body of Anglo-Saxon emigrants into the Do- minican territory, with a view of developing resources which the Spaniards did not seem capable of bringing to light. At the same time, various emissaries were sent to the island by our government, probably in order to as- certain the real condition of both Hayti and St. Domingo. The arrival of these envoys, to- gether with the rumors of the projects of colo- nization from hence, alarmed Canedo, then Governor of Cuba; and Senor Torriente, whose name has since gained some notorlety, was despatched in a steam vessel to Samana, to watch the progress of the movement that was apprehended from this country. Torriente re- mained there some time; but finding, as was the case, that no practical endeavors were being made to carry out the colonization pro- jects, he left St. Domingo and reported to his master that all was safe. Gen. Cazenau’s recent mission is the last event in the history; and of this we know nothing beyond the fact that he is creating considerable alarm among the Spaniards. Had we a government from which we could expect a sound and energetic foréign policy, we might reasonably entertain a hope that Gen. Cazenau’s mission would be followed by practi- cal benefits. It would not be difficult, we should imag’ne, to convince the authorities of San Domingo that we are the best allies they could have, and in every way preferable to the French. If they have given permission to the latter to occupy the herbor of Samana with vessels of war, we are entitled to a similar privilege; indeed, a re- fasal to place us on the same footing as the moat favored foreign nation would be an act of constructive hostility against which .it would become our duty to protest. We apprehend, however, that no such short sighted policy need be anticipated from the authorities of the Do- minican republic, if they are permitted to act independently. The only danger lies in the French influence, which has been so powerful in the councils of that State; an element of trouble and discord which it would be well to convince the people of St. Domingo they ought nataral ally of San Domingo: France cannot honestly figure in that capacity, and only as- sumes the disguise in order to subserve private ends of ite own. Nor would insuperable objections arise on the part of the Spaniards, if the old scheme of tending out afew ship loads of emigrants to San Domingo were again proposed, The peo- ple of the island must sce the advantage they would derive from the infusion of Anglo-Saxon energy into their society. They cannot be blind to the backwardness of their agricultural and industrial condition; and it is only giving them credit for common sense to suppose that they are at least as anxious as foreigners to promote the prosperity of their country. One Spanish State—Venezuela—bas already ac- knowledged that an influx of L:wopean or North American settlers is essential to her future welfare; a little reflection will certainly lead to o similar conviction in the Dominican mind. It is not é¢asy to say how a scheme of colonization could be carried out, even if all parties were agreed respecting its expediency; but if the government of San Domingo made reasonable offers, something could probably be done. To us it would bean object to strengthen the hands of a government based on the same principles as our own, and ruling part of one of the finest islands in the Weat Indies. A handful of Americans, settled at Samana, and the other seaports, would soon restore the. former wealth of the island; and aided by en lightened laws and a liberal policy on the part of government, might cotistitute a formidable breakwater against the approach of the two dangers with which the South is menaced— usurpations and negro supremacy. The matter rests with the Dominican autho. rities. That Gen, Cazenau will do his daty, if the edministration will allow him, there seems no good reason to doubt. It would be absurd, however, to expect that either Mr. Pierce or Mr. Marcy will realize the importance of his nogo- tiations, or contribute to his success.

The vulgar adag» of ‘great cry and little wool” seems tbus far to sum up pretty accu- Tately the results of the Anglo-French opera- tions in the Balt'c and Black Seas. The cost of the fle-ce ia, we must say, lamentably dispro- portioned to the returns. The glory won will, however, make up for the absence of more solid advantages. The Russian fleet, it is true, still lies safely ensconced benind the granite fortif- cations of-Sebastopol, and the submarine batte- ries at Cronstadt have .8 yet only astonished the piscine inhab tants of its waters, What of that? There isa time for everything; and the allies like to play their great cards fir-t. What are the invasion of the Crimea and the destruction of the outworks of St. Petersburg compared with the coup de force which has just shed so much lustre on the arms of the coalition? The Czar and old Nesselrode are no doubt by this time shivering in their shoes. The doom of the Muecovite empire is sealed; for Bomarsund has surrendered! - We knew -full well, notwithstanding the im- patience manifested by the radical portion of the English press, that Sir Charles Napier cou'd not have been all ihis time idly beating about tbe Baltic, and scratching his old shock wig; without hitting upon some bright idea to retrieve bis damaged reputation. As procras- tination is in the eyes of the gallant old tar nearly equivalent to dishonor, we expected that he would make up for the time lost by some brilliant achievement, eclipsing the glory of his former feats, We have not been disap- pointed. THe has not, to be sure, cut out the Russian fleet at Cronstadt, nor blown up the fortifications of Sweaborg, nor sent Revel to the devil. He has done a much more glorious thing—he has taken Bomarsund ! Buat few of our readers are probably aware of the strategetical advantages of Bomarsund. If they were, they would at once appreci:te the importance to the allies of this acquisition. We would enlighten them on the subject if we could; but as we cannot, they must take the thing for granted. They may rest assured, however, that the old hero of Beyroot would not have spent months meditating over the enterprise if there was not something to be gained by it. Besides the advantage of its forming a sort o: sentry box to the Gulf of Fin- land, Bumarsund is situated in a first rate agri- cultural district. Now, we should be sorry to insinuate that the Admiral’s well known penchant for the pursuits of the farm yard had any influence in directing his attention to this enterprise. He may love cabbages well, but he loves his duty better. A little Aland farm would no doubt offer an agreeable occasional diversification to a long watch and ward in the Baltic; but we are certain that such an idea never entered his head. No, he took Bomar- sund for the simplest- of all possible reasons— namely, because it was the only place takeable. A fine tenable position will Bomarsund be in a Polar winter. When the straits of Alandshaf on the one side, and thoze of Watuskiftet on the other, are closed up by ice, morning calls can be alternately exchanged with the Fins and Swedes—supposing the Fins and Swedes to be in a visiting humor. The Czar himself may even be tempted to drive across in his sledge to see how his visiters are enjoying their health under the rigors of a Polar temperature. If. he does not carry his politeness to the extreme’ | of insisting upon the British Admiral and Gen. Baraguay d’Hilliers accompanying him back to St. Petersburg, they may look upon themeclves ag very much slighted. Should he take such a thing into his head, it is quite certain that they will not be in a position to refuse it. They could not have picked out a spot more favora- bly adapted for such eventualities. Let us hope that they will enjoy themeelves in Bomar- sund, It was not to be expected that a poeition en- joying such manifold advantages could be ob- tained without considerable sacrifices. For the fifty or seventy millions of dollars that have been expended by England and France in pre- parations for the war, the only acquisition asyet made is Bomaraund, It would have heen cheap atany price, and it is therefore not to be wondered at that the allies were ia a hurry to take it, We hope that they will keep fast hold of it, now they have got it. It is something to have to show for their money. Tae Loxpoy Tres aNp THE GREYTOWN BoMBARDMENT.—As was expected, the London Times discovers nothing calculated to chal- lenge the world’s admiration in the bombard- ment of Greytown. Read the article on that subject, which we have transferred to our columns this morning. The administration is notified that Capt. Jolley will be sustained and reinforced with a good stiff ship or two. Our Cabinet have, therefore, no other alternative than to “ crawl off,” or send Capt. Hollins back again to finish his work. Mr. Durand will, perbaps, require an increase of his bail, as secu- rity for his return to court at the appointed time, to answer for the destruction of certain Property; but that can be easily arranged be- tween Mr. Redfield and John Cochrane. Capt. Hollins must go down again to Greytown. He has expressed a desire two fight two British vessels of the size of the Cyane; it is very likely he could whip them; and the sadminis- tration surely are bound to give him a chanee. Is Marcy afraid of wart Did not Gen. Pierce, Gen. Davis and Gen. Cuehing do good service in Mexico? Are they going to be bullied by John Bull? Will they deny to Capt. Hollins his wish? We are afraid they will. Will they send him down again to collect thé Rorland n= demnities? We think not. Will they permit the British to take possession of the ruins of Greytown? Who answers for the administra- tion?

Italran Operas ENGAGEMENT OF GRIST AND MARIO. The suction ssle of the tickets for Grisiaad Mario's first performance takes plece to-day, and is looted for- ward to with interest, as « sort of anticipatory tost of the. prospects of their engagement. Should the result prove less favorable than is expected, we are not at all disposed to regard it as a discouraging eviience of the pubiic feeting towards thev distingaished singers. As@ community, we have pacsed thejage of great excitements; and much as we may acmire and appreciate talent, it wild never again be in the power of any artist to elicit the fulsome adulation ana worrhip which rendere’ us on for- mer occasions #0 supremely ridiculous. With a more cultivated musics] taste than we had an opportunity of forming at the period to which we refer, we now know: how to discriminate accurately between the merits of the different performers woo visitus; and the judicious and nicely critical test of our patronage is the highest reward that an artiss can receive. Whatever, therefore, may be the result of today’s sale, we believe that it ‘will have but little iafluence on the after results of the speculation. Madame Grisi and her hosband will not be. the less cordially supported benause speculative trades- men no longer see a chance of converting into capital the musical enthusiasm of the multitude. Although the prices announced are considerably higher than the pedple of New York seem now disposed to pay for an evening’s entertainment at » theatre, considering the great reputation of the artists in question, and the large temptation which it was necessary to hold ou! to in- duce them to visit this country, it is natural that Mr, Enckett should endeavor to secure himself against the risk of loss by fixing them at something like the seme re. munorative sates under whieh in Europe it is impcasible- to maintsin an effective operatic corps. To the par- quette at her Majesty’s theatre in London the admission” ia two dollars and a half, while the prices of boxes into. which, with the exception of what is called the amphi+ theatre, the remainder of the house is divided, range from twenty to fifty doliars. at the Italian Opera ia. Parisand in Vienns the rates of admission are almvst. equally high. It isonly in Italy that the frequent en- Joy ment of fine operatic music is compatible with a mo- derate income.
