The Washington Union confirms our despatch published yesterday, and says the despatches trom our Minister at London coutain assurances that there is nothing whatever in the diplomatic relatious between the United States and Great Britain that need awaken 5 ade in this country. The Union emphatically denies the statement that Mr. Ba- ehanan had expressed sympathy with the British government, notwithstanding which it is asserted jc circles that both Marcy and Buchanan st their sympathy for the Allies. Major Emory, ove of the commissioners to survey the boundaries of the Gadsden purchase, has arrived ia Wurhington, and the decision of the government in regard to the three millions due Mexico will be ren: dered early in the week. It is thought the decision will be favorable to the gentlemen who hold Santa Anna's drafts. The letters from our correspondents in London, Paris, Madrid, Berlin, and other parts of Burope giving all the news, gossip, &c.,in the Old World published in to-day’s paper, will be found entertain ing and instructive. Letters from diflerent parts 07 Mexico are also given this morning, which will far nish our readers with some idea of the condition of affairs in that distracted country.

It is based only on principles whose tendency is and whose effect must be, the destruction of the government and all its iate- reste—its commerce, its railroads, its manufac- | tures, its mechanic arts, its telegraphs, its mo. ral power, and, above all, its position before the world as the representative of liberal ideas avd popular rights, These are the sacrifices required of the American people to give effect to ibe Eutopian policy of Mr. Seward—to his mad crusade against the constitution, with a view of eflecting his anti-slavery purposes, The question comes home to existing party subdivisions with peculiar force; Cana citizen of the United States—an American—occupy aby other ground than that of hostility to the Seward movement and do his duty to his coun- iry? Tbat movement looks to « dissolution of the Union. Those, then, who regard tacts aud not forms, must see that in reality there ean be but two partivs in this country—those who support the government, aud chose who seek its overthrow. ‘The black republicans oc- cupy ove of these extremes; the bards, the cults, the Americans, the whigs, in truth, occu- py the other. If they do not—if individuals of either party make ihe republican tenets ab urticie of their creed, they, in fact, are abo jitionists, itis manifest, indeed, that the public mind is gradually, but certainly, approacniog this one great issue. It is natural, aud, indeed, iv eVitable, thet it should be so; because it ia- volves all the highest interests of the people, und in every sense must be regarded as the superior question of the day. In reaching it individuals are required to pass the severe or- deal of putting their prejudices in subjec- tion to their reason and their patriotism, Those who, without exactiy knowing why, have come to regard the institution of stavery asa hatetul sacritice of the rights of man; those who have been taught to belicve that in the organization of the government the slave holders have secured undue advantages-—ia sbort those who have stood upon the extreme North, and have listened ouly to partisan ap- peals and misrepresentations in regard to aflairs in the South, have imbibed strong pre- judices against the men and the local iustitu- tions of that section of our common Unioa. At the first blush, when leading men of their own portion of the country proposed to organize a party upon strictly sectional grounds, and with a View of enlisting in its support the class of Noribern minds to which we have referred, it was natural enough to expect that there would be found a very large number to sympathise with tbe movement, There were many who did at thus fallinto the black repabli- can abolition organization ; but there were also a large class who, exercised by a severe hosti- lity against slavery, were still unwilling to be yapked as its political eaemics—a positioa of evident hostility to the federal Union which was formed on the of that relation, Hence the apparent diversity of opinion as mani- fested by ihe recent clections—bence the sub- division of the people into three or four dis- tinct parties representing, if we may so speak, the various shades of belicf between the two radical extremes of union and disunion, Now it is apparent--as obvious as anything of the future can be—that there is going oa ia the public mind a rapid approach to these two extremes. Indeed, it is inevitable that they must absorb every other organization. There is nothing now in mere names; it is the facts to which the public is directed. The black re- publicans have planted themselves upon the distinct ground of hostility to slavery—their suceess would be the overthrow of the Union. Patriotism comes to the rescue, and it will re- quire but little time to dri from thousands of our people the morbid prejudices which years of careful teachings, on the part of the Seward demagogues, have instilled into their minds. The effect of the issue forced upon the country by the negro men, may be ilius- trated by referring to foreign invasion, with a view of subverting our government—a mea- sure which would be resisted from one end of the republic to the other. It would call into action—just as any serious menace to the Union wonld—the most vigorous and decided patriotiem--it would sink at ouce all mere peace prejudices against slavery—-all cavillings at the ‘slave power’—all denunciation and all sec- tional animosity, and unite the whole country as one man in defence of our federal inst tions. Patriotism in the United States is the supe- rior sentiment of the mind; it is vigilant and jealous, and may be roused at a momeat’s notice lt isa practical idea—it looks to ends, and it will as soon resist an enemy springing up with- in our own borders as one pouneed upon us fromabroad, It sees no difference between the overthrow of the Union by the force of mo narchy and the force of abolitionism—no difle- rence in an enemy led by Louis Napoleon and an enemy led by William H. Seward. ‘There are, in fact, but two parties — hose who, with the black republicans, attack dizect- iy or indirectly, on the question of slavery, the federal constitution, and those who sus fain that compact. Allin ediate ground acompromise between right and wrong—a compromise which cannot be maintained, and which must be surrendered as the contest ad- vances. The constilation is the only bases the terminus® of all ethical and all just po- litical deductions from the premises. {t is well for the quasi-softs and the seceding Philade)phia Know Nothings to consider this fact. The issue presented by the aboli- tionists does not admit of men stopping at any half-way house—tliey will have to serve ibeir country or serve the factionists—its ene- mies, All those wordy resolutions condemn- ing slavery and cursing Kansas and popular sovereignty, to catch a passing breeze, musi be abandoned, and parties must come out and sustain the disuntonists or sustain the govern- ment. The Wilson Know Nothings in the North—men who got into the American camp to betray it and compel its surrender to the abolitionists, and toa great extent succeeded ~thould be ranked and treated as traitors to the American cause and to the American goy- ernment. We have come to that point in our domestic affairs when it is neceseary, and absolutely nc cessary, to know alike our friends and our ene- mies, Parties are to be known by these de- signations as much as in time of war. On the side of the government is enlisted the repre- sentatives of all our material wealth and all our productive industry, whose tenures are found in order and the faithful discharge of public duties. We have also enlisted against the agitators the patriotism of the country—a patriotism that achieved its independence and that now as vigilantly guards its honor as io . the days of the Revolution. It is a practical patriotism—a liberal, magnanimous patriotism —a pervading, sleepless patriotism ; and it is not only capable of sustaining the government, but is able to put down and utterly disgrace its enemies, And it will do so. What we claim is its union into a great party ; and that union will be effected the moment the public liber- ties are seriously menaced, whether by aboli- tionists at home or by governments from abroad? The Effects of the War upon Commerce and Money.—The Independence of Agricultare. Upon commerce and capital fall the first penalties of war. They are the bankers and the endorsers of the government tor account of the great branches of productive industry which are ultimately called upon to foot the bills. It is not strange, then, that in the pre- rent struggle between the Allies and Russia, verious derangement has been proiuced in monetary and strictly commercial circles, which, in truth, are identical. The deprecia- \ion of stocks, loss of contidence on the part of small and pradent fund holders, commercial discredits and suspivions—effects as apparent in tue United States a3 in England and France— showing the’ intimate connection of all the irading States of the world and their liabitity to the penalties of war, no matter by whom prosecuted—are the ripening fruits of the Kast- ern controversy. Meanwhile agriculture— which is in reality as much the primary source of wealth as of subsistence—so far has been undisturbed. This is par- ticularly the case in this country, where its productions, though demanded by searly all the States of Europe to meet the positive wants of the people, are greater than the meaus which capital has to spare to move them forward. It is a remarkable fact cou- nected with our country, that while stocks of every description have for the last forty days been falling—in many cases to the extent of uiteen or twenty per cent-—nearly every description of agricultural products have been rising. That much of this is owing to the ex- traordinary demand caused by the failare of the crops on the other side of the water, we admit; but it is also evident that agriculture, as wellin this country as in tie belligerent States, is the Just to be affected by war, We see no reason, looking to these phenomena, to believe that the great producing interests oi this couutry are to be injariously affeeted by the prosecution of the Russian war. Mean- while, the commercial and banking classes of the world are directly liable to the penalties which the withdrawal of money from the ordi- vary channels of trade, the distrust thereby ercuted—and often created by the uncertainty in which the future, at such times, is enveloped, and the sudden and unforeseen demands made upon capitalists for money—demands which must be met in order to sustain the credit of previous advances. This money is drawa from all the trading States alike—that one paying most which is the best off—the rewards ollured being sufficient to produce the required meaus Jt is certain that the United States, for in- stance, during the last ninety days, has contri- bnted of its epeciv to France and England to aid in the operations of war, and to meet ne- cessities caused by its prosecution, their full quota of the precious metals. Money has gone forward apparently in utter violation of the Jaws of trade, bat in truth, in obedience to the superior demands of war, which has set aside those laws. Hence the derangement of the stock market—the depreciation of every species of securities, State and corporate—the loss of individual confidence—the withdrawal of deposits from the banks, and the general curtailment of operations. While all this has taken place, in manifest sympathy with move- ments on the other side of the water, the staple products of American agriculture have main. tained full prices, and, it must be confessed, were never ina more healthy aud prosperous condition. The truth is, in the United States, which is a vast individual proprietorship— where the onerous and oppressive relatioa of landlord and tenant is hardly known—agricul- culture has grown to be an independent and unassailable interest—an institutioa or govera- ment by itself. It holds no other relation to commerce and money than that of the simple exchange of its products for specie or its equi- valent. It possesses the key to the Malakoli of all other interests, which it has invested, and may compel to surrender by withholding its supplies. It docs not fear a suspension of spe cie payments, becanse it has the absolute pow r to draw specie at will—it is independent. Fit teen years ago it was an indebted and depen- dent branch of labor. It extended its op tions over the whole plain of the lakes, into Texas and the Southwest; it opened Califor- nia and Oregon, and became indebted and dis- credited. But it has already discharged its obligations, without the aid of a baukrapt law; and now, in New York, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, ijlinvis, Wisconsin and Jowa, it is alike the most wealthy and prosperous of all the branches of labor. Equally rapid and sac cesstul has been its career in the South and Southwest. The f 1837—the period of its greatest expansion—-threw it into utter discredit, b years it has risen (0 be an entirely success(ul and indepen- dent interest. It is well thus to consider the character and relations of the leading departments of Ame- rican industry and enterprise, especially in the present critical state of E It is well, because we should endeavor to for fy ourselves at our Weakest points and to pla confidence and reliance upon our strongest ones, That every branch of labor afl every occupation of man is identified to some extent, true; but they are not mutually bound to profits and losses Mike, aay more thau are the individuals composing our trading commanit Those who are connected with stock oper: tions, either as permanent boldera or holders for a rise, take all, or nearly all, the risk and penalities of the preset war, so far as it acts upon American securities. It is ‘fost that those efiects do not in like manner fail upon e farmers and those classes of 1 mecha nics immediately dependent npon them for eupport. They are quite spendent of the war, holding their position by a tenure abso- lately distinct, in fast patting every’ other in torcet in sub jon to them. Of course this is applicable only, in fact and deduction, to the United States, Agriculture in England, France and Russia must alternate- ly foot the bills of their fighting soldiers and their belligereat governors, Their national terrible cras within icn ropean affairs. debts are already enormons—that of England, requiring to meet its interest near three times the current revenues of the United States. Lands are held by large proprietors and are worked at rates which barely sustain animal existence. Agriculture there is a dependent interest, it is deeply mortgaged, heavily taxed. Jt lies at the foundation and sustains to a great extent the aristocracy. In truth, it isa mere stock investment—held by the same men who bear the nationel debt and supply means to carry on the war. Sewarp ann THE Caruorics—A Dean Fat- LURE.—Every body knows that for many years past W. H. Seward has industriously exerted himself, behind the scenes, especially, with all sorts of artifices, to catch the Catholic vote. He bas so far succeeded as to secure a public acknowledgment from Archbishop Hughes that Mr. Seward is his friend, for whom he, the ven- erable prelate, has a high personal regard; but that appears to be all. In the late election, not liking the “nigger worshipping” featares of the platform of the black republicans, the Trish Catholics voted the hard or the soft shell democratic ticket. And mark the result. The Seward organs are pitching into mother Church, right and left. The Butfulo Express, for example, gives up the job of bamboozling the Catholics into abolitionism, in the follow- ing amiable ideas Under its present rule of spiritual teaching we can re- gard the Cathclic Church in no other light than as a poli- tical institution, whose purpose is to strengthen the chaina of slavery, and build up a corrupt poli'ical dynasty » edged to its perpetuation in a tree country. * * * in this, the Church of Rome assumes a party p: litical po- sition in the United States, and deserves the respect which attaches to our political relatiang and contests. It has stripped off its sacred robes of religion, and now stands clad, by its priests and presses, in the garb of aity misrepreseptation and traduction. It has selested fe position, Let it be regarded in its true character, as amere nursery for Franklin Pierce and his pro-slavery coadjutors to grow voters in, by which that political dy- nasty ‘and the slaveocracy of the country shall be pecpe- tua ed. The black republican organs in this neigh- borhood have expressed similar opinions; and thuswe are free to presume that W. H, Seward has authorized the experiment of wheedling the Irish Catholics into his ranks to be aban- doned. Pat may be a servant, but he can’t bow down to Cuffee, and so he is kicked out of the Seward camp. «What rascals are these smooth-faced politicians! Ait Tucnt—Peruars—The Washington Union says:—“We are satisfied, upon such inquiry as we have been able to make, that no cause, inducement, or plausible pretext of war, or even of serious misunderstanding, can be found in any question now pending between the two countries, and that, therefore, no ap- prehension on the subjeet need be entertained by the friends of peace, either in Great Britain or in the United State That’s Marcy; but as all decisions on this subject have come from Caleb Cushing thus far, we must hear Cushing before we can feel perfectly safe. organ give us Mr. Cushing’s latest opinion ?

A Sewarp Purtosoruen.—The Buffalo oracle of the Seward faction, in a chapter of advice to the Albany Van Buren democratic organ, says “the Adas should nuree its philosophy, cultivate a more genial spirit, learn to be con- sistent, and try to be happy.’ This reminds us of the two Irishmen assailed by an over- powering adverse faction, aud left prostrate and bleeding on the ground. “ Are you there, Pat?” “Yes, Mickey.” “Well, look at me, and lie still and be comfortable, you vaga- bound, Ninio’s Garpes—M'Lie Racuec’s Farewer.—M’le Ra- chel's performa’ av Niblo’s Garden were brought to a clove last night, when sbe played in “Phedve” and “Le Aoinseau de Lesbie.”?

THE LATEST HEWS. BY ELECTRIC AND PRINTING TELEGRAPHS, From Wasaington. DESPATCHES FROM MR. BUCHANAN—THE CENTRAL AMERICAN QUESTION—FIRE AT ALEXANDRIA, ETC. Wasurvaron, Novem er 17, 1855. Jam informed that there is no truth in the report sent by some Washington correspondents thet Mr. Buchanan appeared before the crewd of rabble which had surroun- ded Lord Palmerston’s house, and gave them assurances that there was really no danger of rupture between the two governments, Mr. Buchanan in his letters makes no mention of it whatever. Uf anythirgef the kind had occurred, it is believed here he would undoubtedly have mentioned it, It is asserted in diplomatic circles here, notwithstanding the Union unequivocn'ly denies it, that Marcy and Buchanan did mapifest their sympathy for the success of tho Allies, and that our Mintster to Turkey, Carroll Spence, did the same thing; and furthermore, tha’ one of the editors of the Union was unanimously 4 charged by the administration for writing an article in which he strongly condemned th course pursued by Rus sia, As for Marcy, he has had too mach diplomatic practice of late, vide the Soulé aifair, tobe caught. ‘The Union of this morning says that desyatches by the Pacific confirm the assurances that there is nothing whatever in the diplomatic relations between Great Bri- tain and the United States which need awaken a mo- ment’s golicitude on this sile the water. The Centra American question is a subject of earnest discussion and very serious difference on some points, but that diffe- rence is still a matter belonging to negotiation. The Unvon confirms our despatch of last night, and says that the dispatch of the British fleet to the West Iniia sta- tion was probably caused by the alarm produced by the British Consul’s mistake in relation to the bark Maury. The Union also gives a positive denial to the statement of the London 7¥mes, that Mr. Buchanan had expressed sympathy with the English goverument. Major Emory, one of the Boundary Commissioners, hes arrived, and a fival disposition of the three million balance due Mexico may be liokel for early next week.

It is shrewdly suspected by kuowing ones that he will decide adversely to Mexico, and in favor of the gen- tlemen who hold drafts of Santa Anna, The survey is, I understand, in accordance with the treaty, having been signed by both Commissioners, Messrs. Salazar and Emory. The fire at Alexandria last night was in the china store of James 1, Dowell, whish was totally destroyed, entail- ing 8 loss of about $5,000.
