The weather was outrageously hot yeaterdsy. It was the warmest June day we have had in eight years. We would give the figures, but as it would pet have a tendency to make our readers any cooler, we refrain. Inthe Hapaxp editorial rooms, which is acool place, and contains a singularly cool set of inilividuals, the thermometer stood at 91 degrees at3 o'clock P.M. This was in the shade. In the-sun the mercury literally outran calcula- tion, fer the highest point of the glass we have is 120 degrees, and the mercary was far beyond that. There is evidently a determination on the part of Old Sol to make up for his remissness so far this summer, and give us the benefit of his hottest Dlasts. Of this yesterday was an earnest. It began at 72 degrees in the morning, ran up to 89 degrees at noon; at 3 P. M. it wae 91 degrees, and remained at that figure until 6 P.M., when it moderated. Most people do not wish it qaite so hot as this, but itis splendid weather for corn, light clothes, pots ‘toes, soda water, strawberries, Coney Island, loafers and. lager bier. Governor Clark, attended by his staff and a selec’ party, visited the public institutions on Staten Island yesterday. What was said and done is re- corded in another column. ‘The firat annual exhibition of the grammar schools of New York was given yesterday at Niblo’s Saloon, The best specimens of penmanship, drawing and needlework were displayed during the day, and io the evening there were exercises, consisting of reci- tations avd singing by the pupils. Addresses were made by Dr. Jones, Measra. 8.8. Randell and R. H. banron. A full report will be found elsewhere. The statement recently put torth by the Courier and Enquirer, in regard to General S:ott’s claim for additional pay as Lieutensnt-General, is denied by the Washington Union. That paper says the Attorney-Genoral has received several letters from General Scott, and on the intimation of the latter he closed the argument on the case. The Attormey- General has taken the case up for exemination. By way of New Orleans we have dates from Ha- vana to the 25th inst. There was no political news, and the island was in an unusually tranquil state. The sugar market tended upward, but freights were a trifle lower. The Simon Pare whigs of Maine held a State Convention at Portland yesterday, and nominated Hon. Isaac Reed for Governor. Anti-Nebraska, anti-Know-Nothing, and anti-Maine Liquor law re- solutions were aiopted. ‘The Dunkirk express on the New York and Erie Railroad, which left;New York yesterday morning, rap over @ horse near Dunkirk, throwing the train off the track, breaking up the cars and engine con- siderably. The passengers escaped with only a fow bruises, no one being severely injured. The sales of cotton yesterday reached about 3,000 bales, closing at about Ile. to 11jc. for mid. @ling uplands, and showing a decline of about jc. atec., being irregular, and varying according to circumetances. Common grades of flour were dull and easier, while higher brands were steady. Asmall lot of Michigan white wheat’ sold at $252}. Pork was in good demand, with pretty free sales at fall prices. Cotton and corn were to a fair extent again shipped to Liverpool, at 3-16d. for the former, and 4d. to 5d. for the latter, chiefly at the second figure, in ships’ bags. Whe Seward Disunion Platform—Speeches of Senators Bell and Hale, of New Hampshire. We publish to-day a report of the speeches lately delivered at Concord by the two new Senators recently elected by the New Hamp- shire Know Nothing and free soil Legislature, Mr. James Bell, and Mr. John P. Hale. The former heretofore has been a whig, and the latter is well known throughout the country as a lead- ing free soiler, and especially as the candidate of the anti-slavery coalition for President in 1852. Mr Hale of course sticks to his anti-slavery instincts end associations ; but there is some- thing significant in the speech of Mr. Bell, sub- stantially upon the same platform. Between the two, we are given very clearly to under- stand that the repeal of the Nebraska bill, and the restoration thereby of the Missouri line of demarcation against Southern slavery—the corner stone of the programme of the New York Seward Holy Alliancc—is also the corner stone of the dominant Know Nothing and free soil majority of New Hampshire. The State Coun- cil of the Massachusetts Know Nothings have just declared the same purpose, in endorsing the secession of Wilson & Co. from the Phila- delphia Council, and in boldly demanding the restoration of the Missouri line. The other New England States have betrayed the same disorganizing tendencies to a junction with the Seward coalition. In word, from all the de- velopements and all the signs of the times, we may safely pronounce the New England States as demoralized heyond redemption by nigger worshipping and Maine Liquor law fanaticism— that they are committed to the cause of Seward and his disorganizing plot for a violent, vindic- tive and most strongly marked sectional cam- paign for the Presidency. In the prosecution of this seditious con- piracy we perceive that the late border squabbles among the squatters of Kansas are mainly to be relied upon, and urged upon the North as imperiously demanding the restora. tion of the Missouri line. Upon this false issue these echeming agitators calculate upon such 4 diversion as will give them at least the balance of power in the Presidential campaign. But what is the real issue? The object of the re- peal of the Nebraska bill was to remove the agi- tation of the slavery question out of Congress, and to transfer the settlement of the subject to the people of the Territories, to whom it right- fully belongs. The Kensex-Nebraska bill, in this view, became a law of the land, and accepting | bu the challenge thus thrown down, our Northera | for his oer | purposes and knocks down the anti-slavery eocieties forthwith proceeded to | next day fike a ninepin in mere sport: living colenize these new Terzitories with the right stuff for the prompt and decisive exclasion of slavery. Bat the slaveholders of Missouri and other States have outsquatted these free soil emigration companies, and threaten to hold their own under the law, by dint « ¢ superior numbers. So, the free soil 8422’ top scheme proving @ failure, the parties inte” eoteg fly into a rage, and heaven aud earth © 49 to he moved ont of thei places in order tg drive back, by act of Congress, all slave’ solding emi- grants and squatters to tbe 20,ath side of the Missouri line. What is the prospect? A fierce and relentless anti-slavery crusade upon che repeal of the Ne- braska bil. is imeyitable. Abolitionists and free coflers, ot al! ehades, from Boston to St. Paul, are in for it, and Seward and his retainers are repolved to use them while they may. The Teper] of the Nebraska bill is, of course, a hum- bug; for it is simply out of the question that the United States Senate can be brought, for an in- definite period to come, to vote for such a mea- sure. There is one thing, however, which may be done: The agitation upon this subject, and the refusal by the Honse of Representatives to admit Kansas into the Union as a slave State, should she apply for admission as such, may be carried to that degree of exasperation beyond which the restoration of the peace of the Union will be impossible. In other words, it will be found more difficult, under this new agitation, to restore the Missouri blockade than to dissvlve the Union, and let loose upon both sections the horrors of anarcby and civil and servile war. At such a crisis, when aJl the outside fac- tions and fag ends of all parties in the extreme North are conspiring for this disunion crusade against the South, where are we to look for safety? The answer is at hand. We look to the,solid conservative masses of the peoplo of the middle States as the reliable nucleus for a reaction which will overthrow al} disunion plots and conspirators, North and South. The no- cleus for this middle and conservative party has been provided by the late Philadelphia Know Nothing National Council, and in the policy of non-intervention on the slavery ques- tion as there laid down. Aud what could be more simple or just than to let the people of Kansas and Nebraske settle upon their own do- mestic institutions for themselves, just asthe people of the States respectively are author- ized to do by the constitution? This new agitation, however, is upon us, and it must be met at the threshold, or it may re- sult in the most fearful and comprehensive disasters against the great cause of popular government to us and to generations yet un- born. The honest, patriotic people of the coun- try should range themselves accordingly with that existing party which is best adapted to meet the emergencies of the crisis, and in open hostility to all concerned in the seditious crusade of Seward, Wilson, Hale, Bell, and their associates and their followers. We believe the people of New York may be safely trusted upon a fair presentation of this wicked humbug of the restoration of the Missouri restriction. Let it be.fairly tried in November, at all events, thatwe may know to what point we are drifting. What says our new American party ? A Little Common Sense for the Know Nothings. We see in several organs of the Kaow No- thing party throughout the country, constant allusions to the Pope, and symptoms of great alarm with regard to the spread of Roman Ca- tholicism. From one journal we learn that the day on which the news of Mr. Wise’s victory reached the Vatican will have been kept with unusual ceremony; from another we gather that the high priests of Antichrist have been in ecstacies ever since the action of the Massa- chusetts delegates to the Philadelphia conven- tion; and generally we may say, the newspa- pers of this stripe talk as if we were living in the days of the great Spanish Armada, and re- duced to trust to our broadswords to defeat the famous bull by which the whole of America was given tothe King of Spain by the Pope. “There is not a single spectator of the politics of this country,” says one, “who takes a deep- er interest in them than the Pope of Rome;” and instead of feeling flattered by this infor- mation, which will be new to most of us, thie ungracious Know Nothing adds energetically that we ought “to make Rome howl,” for “if there be a cloud in our nation’s horizon, it is the Papacy.” It is high time that this stuff should be stop- ped. We have made asses of ourselves pretty freely—we Christians—since the days of Lu- ther, about our theological quarrel; and car- ried matters to such an extent that no sensible Chinese who has any respect for himself will at the present day have anything to do with a church so obviously divided against itself. But if our ancestors, who shot, stabbed, burned, tortured and hanged each other on points of theology, were undeniable asses, what are we who have nota tithe of their grounds for controversial rancor? For, it must be re- membered, to the Englishman of the seven- teenth century, Catholicism implied submission to the Pope, and submission to the Pope in- volved the surrender of America to the Spa- niards: small wonder forsooth that they were fierce Protestants, and that, while they trusted in Providence, they likewise kept their powder dry. But we, what cause have we to fear the Pope? What harm hashedone us? Whatcan he do? Why, really, good people, who are quaking in your shoes about the inroads of the Papacy, and muttering dreadful things about the scar- let woman ot Babylon, you are much more likely to damage che Pope, than he to injare you. Itishard work enough for him—poor old soul—to keep his place, with board and lodging and fire, at the Vatican: nor would he be there still, in fact, if Napoleon III. had not condescended to use Christianity, just as he used the Delvigne bullet, to consolidate hisnew empire. Since the first Napoleon showed that a Pope might be kicked about as well as any other man, there hasn’t been a sovereign in Europe that would forego the pleasure of try- ing the new sport. All the ministers of Spain, from the republican juntas to Es- partero, have had their turn at it. France bas treated bim like a dog. Metternich let him know plainly that he must consider himselt a mere pensioner of Austria on his good beha- vior; and now. in these latter days, even Itely’s eclf turns round upon him, and will bave no mere dealings with him. Rome drives him into exile, Sardinia deposes him trom his authority. And fe this the potentate of whom | we are afraid? This poor, hunted, deserted, creature, vet up by this or that tyrant 00 MEY» sufferance, a eort of Smaliweed, shaken 4? ow and then by some neighbor to scare the UP wary with his chrill voice; the pitiable relic of an effete order of civilization, so wholly out of place in the middle of this nineteenth cen- tury, that, as we are told by the most reliable travellers, the ceremonies and fashions essential to his state are probably the most comical sight in Europe—is this the man—this the power—of which the Order of Native Americans confess to the world they are afraid? God help their backbone, if so it be! But we shall be told that Catholicism is not the Pope, and that though the wings of the lat- ter may be cut, the former will thrive notwith- standing. Werhave before us a Know Nothing journal in which this ground is taken. It re- solves iteelf into a very simple question: is there any danger of the Roman Catholics prz- ponderating in the United States? It is with no controversial intent that we ad- venture boldly the assertion that Roman Catholiciem is not the creed for the present day. It is a religion of the feelings and of the heart ; it rests wholly on faith, and discards reason with contempt: it appeals to the senses more than to the mind, to the passions more than the understanding ; and though culminating in system of morality at least equal to that evolved out of Protestantism, it is, as every honest per- son must admit on examination, the best possi- ble creed for a nation emerging from barbar- iem, and, quite as certainly, the most impossible to plant among a civilized and intellectual people. In this place, we are bound above all things to be brief; and we will therefore sim- ply add—leaving each to fill up the argument for himself—that for the very same reasons which render it a matter of comparative impos- sibility that Roman Catbolicism, as we know it, can overspread a reflecting, active, energetic people in the present day, that faith has very little chance in the struggle with Protestant- ism. All the men who own no religion are Protestants ; and the wiser the world grows, the larger this class becomes. The Anglo- Saxon race is essentially Protestant ; that is to say, impatient of spiritual control. It will judge tor itself in religion. as in politics. And it does not seem at all more likely that these Anglo-Saxons will become Catholies than that they willrevert to their old political sys- tems, and once more set their necks under the spurred heel of a baron. Finally we may add that history contains no instance of one religion supplanting another on its abstract. ethical merits, The heathen mythologies fell when so- ciety became corrupt : Protestantism conquered half the Christian world, when heaven was sold at auction by the priests and Rome was the sink of Europe; and Christianity bodily will fall whenever the morality of the races which profess it becomes 80 low that society ceases to have a basis. It will be found, on examining statistics, that Protestantism has gained on Catholicity since the two were imported to this country. The gain has not been large; butt is quite note- wortby, as, since the Revolution, there is no Catholic country in the world where the Catho- lics have had fairer play than here. But in truth it will be time enough to ex- amine such trifles when it has been found that men are worse citizens when they are Catholics than when they ate Protestants. It would bea new thing, we imagine, to argue that the psople of Maryland are not equal to those of any other State in patriotism and all the civil virtues ; and quite entertaining to hear any one defend such @ proposition out of the mouth of history. It would not be new, as we know, to see blatant intolerance exclude from an assembly of dele- gates chosen by citizens of the United States, certain. ea because they were Roman Catholi French descent ; the fact is on re- cord to prove what a substratum of folly there isin all of us. Butif the thing had been done 20 Often that one ceased to feel ashamed of it, it would not be the less impossible to show one single doctrine of Roman Catholicity—properly taught—whose tendency it is to make men worse citizens of a republic than the most en- lightened Protestant. Tae True Mone ro Excovrace Art.—It may we)l be a matter of doubt and dispatation whether the existence of art unions, or other kindred associations for the encouragement of art, has, on the whole, been productive of more benefit or mischief to society in general, and to the class which they were intended to benefit in particular. They have been, to be sure, in- strumental in popularizing the love of the beauti- ful in nature and art, by placing within the reach of all the denizens of large cities, where they were instituted, facilities to inspect and admire the works of the best painters. And so far they have been useful in their day and geno- ration. But as an offset to this advantage, the propensity for gambling, the love of risk, the taste for lottcries, which they engendered and fostered in the public mind, must not be disre- garded. It was a serious evil this, outweighing all appreciable benefits, and has brought art unions into disrepute, not only in New York, where the American Art’ Union was adjudicated to be an illegal concern, but also in many of the great cities of Europe. Then, as regarded their beneficial influence on art and artists, that too was quite as problematical. Through them, it may be admitted, young artists, perhaps with- out name or reputation, found an easy way to have their works and names brought before the notice of the public ; and some minds not suffi- ciently imbued with the love of art per se, may have been stimulated into study and exertion by the force of rivalry. But it needs not the application of any such artificial process to bring out real genius. Wherever it exists, it is bound, even against adverse circumstances, to make itself felt and recognized. And as to ar- tists of a mediocre order, though they might have the poor satisfaction of having their paint- ings hung up in obscure corners of an exhibi- tion room, that circumstance brought no larger, but more probably a much smaller, number of visiters to their studio. We are impressed with the conviction that the real, veritable mode of encouraging art is not merely by furnishing an exhibition room to suspend paintings in, but by affording facili- ties to artists to dispose of their paintings. That is the true desideratum. It is poor sat- isfaction to a man of genius, struggling against those Twin jailers of the aspiring mind, Low birth and irom fortune, to reflect that one or two of his works are num- bered in the annual catalogue of an art union, while numberless records of his glorious art hang in his deserted atelier. Open up to him but a mode of disposing of these works, even at a sacrifice gible benefit. It is that which we propose to d you confer upon him a real, tan- | * suggest to the consideration of the friends of art. We will not clabopate our plaa, bat mzre- ly trace out the salient points of It. Let an art union absociation be organized by that or any other appropriate name, in the ordinary mode, with a certain fixed capital, to be raised by the sale of a certain number of shares of stock. Let exhibition rooms be pro- cured, much more capacious and eligible than any we have yet had in New York. Let a di- rectory committee, composed of a few gentle- men of taste, discrimination, and high probity, be elected, whose prevince it shall be to estimate the'fair value of every painting and work of art offered for exhibition, Let one-third or one- fourth of that estimated value be paid out of the fands of the society to the artist, and let the painting be hung up in the public exhibition room, marked for sale, and labelled with its price; and at the end of a certain period—three, six or twelve months-let all such works of art as remain unsold be disposed of by public auction, for the benefit of the artist, deducting, of course, from the proceeds of the sale the amount advanced by the institution. Such an establishment would soon become popular, and the funds. derived from the eale of admission tickets would cover working expenses. In this way, we, think, art unions might be made really conducive to the advancement of art, and to the improvement of the public taste—to the advancement of art, because one of the greatest obstacles which an artist has to encounter is the difficulty of disposing of the productions of his skill. Poverty too often crushes out the noble aspirations of the young painter, and the soul’s ideal is extinguished and overshadowed by the body’s necessities. Remove that chief impediment; give him, like every other producer, facilities to dispose of the work of his hand and the creation of his mind, and you open before his step an unim- peded path to whatever excellence he may be capable of attaining. The improvement of the public taste, and the elevating it to a more correct standard, will follow, as well as a na- tural consequence of the artist’s advance as from the comparisons which the community will be enabled to make of the relative value of works of art, and the more general disse- mination ef them which would resu't from the carrying out of our plan. It is feasible, it is simple, it is practical.. Let it be carried outin the spirit in which it is suggested, and it can- not fail to produee even greater benefits than those which we now foresee for it. Mr. Sewarp’s “Litre VitLatn” on GENERAL Scorr.—Concerning our offer in reference to the Wall street proposition for a public sub- scription for the relief of General Scott, our cotemporary, Mr. Seward’s “Little Villain,’’ is very savage upon us. The “Little Villain” had better take things a little easier, or, instead of @ mere money testimonial, General Scott msy be brought out for another trial for the Presidency upon his own merits, and not upon the demerits and drawbacks of W. H Se- ward and his big and “little villains.” Be dis- creet. A Krrcuen Cart Joint Stock Tows Lor Srecutation.—Read the letter which we pub- lish this morning from the Cleveland Express.

Settlers, however, are admonished to be cautious in the purchase of these town lots, or they may be “gold.”’ On a small scale, the whole thing looks very much like another Kinney expedition.
