Prerararions ron Sewarp’s Enscriox.— All goes on prosperously, and unless some very untoward event ehould happen, the Legis- Yature of the State of New York will be pre- pared to nominate Mr. Seward for President. Yor thus it was that so much tronble was taken to secure the canal spoile, wherewith the war ie now carried on.’ To this end all the financial sohemee of the State administration has tended, vince the election of Myron H. Clark and Henry L Raymon’. If they succeed, corrap- tion will have another lease of power. We put vi to the hanest men of all parties, ought they, lal) they carry out their echeme? Shall New ork be nothing buts private preserve of Wil- sage EL. Seward 7 party hacks, of presuming that it is impossible for any public journal to take sides with this or that party, except upon the principles which govern the tactics and organs of Broadway House and Tammany Hall. For the better in- formation of our Seward cotemporaries, there- fore, and all others concerned, we are con- strained briefiy to define the principles and the party which have been, are now, and will con- tinue to be, supported by the New Yore Hera, Firet—Oar political principles have not been gleaned from the ricketty and worm-eaten platform of any party, whig, democratic or Know Nothing, North or South. We care little or nothing for mere party resolutions, ema- nating from conventions of spoilemen and demagogues, whether gathered in council at Baltimore, Saratoga or Syracuse. Our plat- form is the federal constitation—our princi- ples are its compacts, concessions, reservations and compromises. Our policy is the unity, the perpetuity; the harmony, progress and pros- perity of the republic, against all enemies, in all disguises, inside and out. Oor candidates, in view of this, our established and invariable policy, are the best that can be had for the time being. Upon these general principles we supported the election of Jackson, Harrison, Polk, Tay- lor and Pierce to the Presidency, men of differ- ent party associations, but each believed at the time to be the best adapted of those in the field for the furtherance of the harmony, the prosperity and the glorious ‘manifest destiny” of these United States. If we have been de- ceived in some instances, we may say that upon the whole we have “done as well as could be expected.” We have steadily resisted the sedi- tious schemes and doctrines of the abolition and free soil factions of the North, and the dis- union tendencies of Southern secessionists. We have sought to elevate no man or party to the contro] of the governmeat upon “the cohesive power of the public plunder,” and have never stooped to defend corrupt and incompetent «cabinets or umprincipled cabals for the dirty consideration of the spoils. The Hmrary, in fact, has never been the organ of any political party, or mau, or set of men, but it has uni- formly endeavored to be the organ and expo- nent of American principles, as embodied in this American Union, and as cherished by the honeet and independent masses of the Ameri- can people, resting upon the fixed and solid basis of the federal constitution. Here, then, is the key to our alleged “co- quetting with the Know Nothing.” Let us see where wo stand. There is no national whig party—it is disbanded. There is no national democratic party—it is broken up and dispersed But on the one hand we have an imbecile and most worthless administration, with the nucleus of @ party, formed of its spoils- men and retainers; on the other, the Northern anti-slavery Seward coalition. Revolting against the one, and disgusted with the other, vast bodies of the honest people, North and South, during the last eight or ten months, have fallen back upon this new American party of the Know Nothings. We have somewhat sustained this movement, believing that good must result from it, in quashing the corruptions of this Pierce administration, and in heading off the great Northern Seward scheme of arenewed anti-slavery agitation, and a seotional contest for the succession. Iset it be understood, how- ever, that the moment we are assured of a coa- lition for the spoils between the anti-slavery men and the Know Nothings of the North, upon the seditious platform of Seward and his con- federates, or anytbing like it, that moment we abandon and resist the organization as a treach- erous conspiracy, and as a party organized upon false pretences. It is this “coquetting” with this mischievous element of anti-slavery fanata- ciem that has destroyed both the old political parties. Should the Know Nothings, as a national party, proclaim the constitutional American principles of our political platform, they are with us and we with them. The Albany Re- gister bas indica'ed a programme of this kind. Let the Know Nothings adopt it, and give over this “coquetting” with the unclean abolitionists and freesoilers, and the course is open before them. Otherwiee, we shall certainly “tire oftheir company,” and await the re-organization of the democratic party. Men and doubtful parties are as nothing, when the Union and the consti- tution are at stake, We support that party which best upholds the constitution. Covnrry Norions or War.—We notice that | our country exchanges reach us full of warlike | anticipatione—some rejoicing, others lamenting over the prospect which they see before them, according to the degree of pugnacity and the periy predilections of their editors. They all think that Mr. Pierce is going to stir up a war with Spain. Herein lies the error. No man acquainted with the character of the President would ever believe him capable of going to war with any power stronger than the late free city of Greytown. He is a blusterer: blusters on all subjects, the loudest when he means least ; has always been in the habit of blustering, and is known at this day by many old friends at Concord, New Hampshire, asthe most thorough blusterer and braggadocio of their acquaint- ance. All this noise of war is mere bluster. If Mr. Pierce had meant anything serious, is it at ell likely that he would have met the Peck Committee with flourishes and wordy thunder? Depend upon it, when a man in the President’s Position intends to go to war--to do an act, in short, which may cost the lives of thousands of his fellow countrymen, and the expenditure of millions of money—he does not go about it in a blustery, windy way. We talks little and quietly ; and if people come to him with com- plaints againet the enemy, he notes them care- folly, but ie much more likely to grow pale, silent and thoughtful than to burst into a fary, and threaten and vociferate. The men who baw] and bluster back out inthe end. Of these is Franklin Pierce. Pisasany Retreat at Pants.—We draw at- tention to the advertisement of the Chatean d'Tey in another colamn—one of the greatest waterenre establishments in the neighborhood of Parise, The lands arc heantifal: the castie one of the finest of the old baronial castles of Franee; within the grounds are the clearest eprings of water that can be found anywhere and a pond of most inviting aspect. Noblemen and fast people generally spend « portion of the dog days in this retreat ; and Americans in Paris will find it well to make its acquaintance, A Fursy Fry ar THe Acapemy.—A very amusing little exposure—a sort of a tempest in a smal] way—bas taken place at the Academy of Music within the past few days. About ten cays we remember seeing an announce- ment in our columns of an original oratorio, composed by one of the Frys, put up for rehear- sal and announced to be performed at the Academy on Thursday of this week. No great sensation was caused by this bulletin—there was no earthquake—no volcanic eruption— no water spout—no nothing—not even the sage of Brooklyn, the remarkable E. Me- riam, noticed the fact in his important memoranda anent the weather and the occultation of the planet Venus. Two days since, we observed a card published by the Committee of Management of fhe Opera, an- nouncing the entire withdrawal of the new oratorios, for the very good and sufficient reason that its rehearsals interfered with the regular business of the Academy. The managers had in rehearsal a new opera which has already been successful abroad, and either this opera or the oratorio must give way. The managers considered the rehearsal of the new opera as more important—they preferred to give the pubilc something which had already been proved to he good than to take the risk upon the doubtful issue of a new composition by a genius of no great reputation. After a silence of a day and a half, or two deys, out comes the composer, in a letter to his organ, covering nearly two columns, de- tailing all the negotiations, giving copies of his correspondence, and describing the causes which have combined to prevent the perform. ance of his oratorio. The whole matter he sums vp in a few words, end one idea—that the ipfluence of the Hzraxp caused all the discatisfaction during the rehearsals; and, finally, ended in the withg@gawal of the oratorio and the indefinite postponement of its per- formance. Several of our cotemporaries published, yes- terday, extracts from and criticisms upon this , Fry manifesto. Some of them rail at the management of the Academy—say all sorts of severe things agajast the stockholders—while others, putting themselves in the proud attitude of a Roman Brutus, disclaim all influence for themselves in the matter, and hold us up as the autocrat of the Opera, and the terrible Czar before whose dread will managers, artists, and all bow with the most abject humility. The majority of our cotemporaries unite more or less in the opinion that we have frightened off the performance of the Fry oratorio. ‘Well, this is certainly a piece of news to us —it is the freshest item of intelligence that we have received for some time. It is true that we have taken some interest in the affairs of the Academy, but far less than some of the journals would endeavor to make it appear. The editor of this journal has never communi- cated with any member of the Committee of Management, or other person in authority, as to what compositions should or should not be per- formed. His influence has been confined to lend- ing a helping hand to the Opera when managed upon a popular and liberal scale. With all due respect, then, to the opinions of our co- temporaries, we beg leave to set aside the offered diadem, as Cmsar did when the “kingly crown” was offered to him by the man in the play, according to Shakspeare. We must decline the honor also. Our highest ambition is to become the correct exponent of public opinion —to make this journal the organ of the free, unfettered, common sense of the American people, upon every subject of art, music, poli- tice, commerce, law, religion or Know Noth- ingism. If we reach that point, our power will be equal to our highest aspirations. With regard to the influences which have caused Fry’s oratorio to be kicked out of the Academy of Music, it is the opinion of many that the good sense of the Committee of Manage. ment had more to-do with it than any other cause; but ifwe were disposed to search for the original springs of the movement we should find them im the opinions of the highly respect- able and very numerous audiences, who have of late frequented the Opera here, in their deter- mination to patronize nothing but standing operas, by recognized composers, sung by good artists, properly put on the stage, and well done in every respect. They are tired of there “small fry” affairs, which so disastrously affected the Italian Opera of former days. The Academy seems, at a recent date, to have got rid of its “‘emall fry” managers—now it has fol- lowed up the work by kicking the -‘small fry” compositions out of itsdoors. Its reliance is now upon its own merits, supported by the intelli- gence and common sense of the community. For further particulars read the card of the management in another column. Tne Know Norares my Massacnuserts—The committee of the Massachusetts Legislature has come to the conclusion that the rowdy mem- bers of that body who intraded into a female school the other day had no business so to act, and were guilty of an offence deserving of gen- eral blame. We put it thus, for brevity’s sake: the men of Boston have spun a long yarn on the topic, giving the committee a lick first with the rough then with the smooth edge of their tongue, and ending 6o thoroughly a Za Talley- rand, that some study is needed to ascertain the real drift of the report, So far, the Massachusetts Legislature have done well. The act was in every way shame- fal, and deserved scathing censure; it has got it, though in a milder form than it deserved. But it remains to be said that this censure was not inflicted until public opinion called loudly for vengeance on the committee. If the press of Boston had spoken with less energy and boldness, the offence might and probably would have been passed over in silence. The Legis- Jature have acted like a school boy, who whi- ningly admits his fault, and begs for pardon, while his posterior smarts under the rod. ‘There was not so much differense after all between the violation of a private domicil and the removal of a United States Commissioner on account of his performance of his duty. The men who victimized Judge Loring because he preferred keeping his oath to breaking it, were just the men to take advantage of a popu- Jar cry against convents to burst into a female school, insult defenceless ladies, and frighten a poor sick girl out of her life. There must be some great changes here, if the American party is to do avything in this world. Proseriptions of faithful officers of government, assaults on defenceless women, . invasions of private houses, abuse of the Reman Catholic religion are not the thing for the last half of the nineteenth century. They would have done very well a couple of hundred years sgo, when there were no daily newspapers and no common schools, ne steamers, no telegraphs, and no real liberty in the world. But to-day, when all these blessings are at every one’s elbow, measures of a tyrannical and narrow minded cast like these we mention must be ruinous to any political organization. It is to be hoped that they are the stumbling blocks which will serve to guide and teach the Ameri- can party. Tae Heratp ayp THe New Liqvor Law.— Several of our small searrply able to meet the bills of | are endeavoring to show up what they call the in- consistencies of the Hzratp upon this new liquor law. Per contra, we maintain that the course of this paper upon the liquor question has been rational, sensible and consistent from the beginning. We have never advised, advo- cated or defended the Maine Liquor law. We have never believed in the alleged constitu- tionality or utility of total abstinence under a compulsory process. We believe in temper- ance; we have given ita long experience, and have found it good; in truth, the delicate and diversified machinery of the Hzratp office could never be managed by any other than habitually temperate men. But we are not teetotalists upon any sort of compulsion. The pledge or the law may be use- ful to such as have appetites for liquor strong- er then their weak heads. Nevertheless, we think St. Paul a splendid example of a sensible temperance man. It was this good and sterl- ing apostle who recommended Timothy to “take a little wine for thy stomach’s sake, and thine often infirmities.” And we hold that un- der similar clroumstances, the same privilege may be extended temperately even to whiskey and lager bier. Had there been any lager bier in St. Paul’s time, he would probably have in- cluded it in his advice to Timothy, though we are not so sure about the whiskey and schnapps. We have opposed this liquor law, and we approved Governor Seymour's veto of a similar act by the previous Legislatare, because we believe this sort of legislation to be despotic and unconstitutional. We are in favor of restraining the excesses of grog drinking by all proper appliances, and of reducing the number of grog shops by all proper restrictions. To this end we have advocated, and still advo- cate, the abolition, by some new party, of the primary electioneering machinery of ruffians and grog of the two old political parties. The whigs and democrats are thus responsible for perhaps four-fifths of the drunkenness and row- dyism which, for some years past, have dis- graced this city, the State and the whole coun- try, especially in election times. If the Legis- lature, or the people, will give us a law de- claring all party nominations effected through the agency of ruffians and liquor, null and void, we shall have secured a substantial tri- umph for the temperance cause, and we shall, doubtless, havea more sober Assembly to begin with than the last, which, from a drunken frolic to Blackwell’s Island, hurried back to Albany to give us this prohibitory law. What became of the spoons at the Island is still a mystery. Our emall fry cotemporaries are a little ma licious when they hint that we are inciting a lawless resistance to this law of espionage, searches, pains and penalties. We say, let the constitutionality of this act be tested before the proper tribunals; but, in the meantime, upon the saving principle of obedience to the laws, let there be no violent resistance. If the law be found unconstitutional, it is a nullity; or, if found unjustly partial or oppressive, the people have the remedy of repeal in their hands. Let the act be tried from court to court, and carried up to the next fall election. Wny Nor ?—The “little villain” is charged by his overseer with playing the artful dodger upon the new liquor law. Why not? How was Mr. Seward re-elected to the Senate? Aek Mr. Thurlow Weed confidentially, and he will, or ought to say, that “it was by promises which we made to the liquor men, that if they would vote for Mr. Seward we would contrive to defeat the liquor law, that we got their sup- port; and it was by pledges to the temperance men of a totally different character through which we secured their suffrages, After the election of Mr. Seward, of course, one party or the other had to be cheated; and so we con- cluded to stand by our public professions, and give the liquor men their just reward.” The “little villain” occupies a still more flexible position. He pledged himself in favor of “a liquor law,” but that does not bind him to support “the liquor law.” Under which thimble is the little joker? —————— THE LATEST NEWS.
