San Francwoo, Jan. 21, 1856. Sale of a Portion of the Folsom Estate—Price of the Lote— History of the Immense Estate—Con- dimued Yield of the Gold Mines—Deaths of Emi- nent Citizens— Political Difficulties in the Legis- lature--New Bank—Peace with the Indians. Theeventa of the past fortnight are sufficiently interesting to warrant a special letter to the Naw Yorx Henaxp. Not the least important matter has been the sale by auction of a portion of the estate of the late Jo- seph L. Folsom: The whole number of lots disposed of was three hunered and sixty, and the aggregate bids $607,000, which amount considerably exceeded the estimates by property holders made before the sale was announced. Most of the lots were un- improved, and as they have now passed into the hands of bona fide citizens, San Francisco will be ‘an immense gainer by the change. Captain Folsom was a Quartermaster in the United States army, and came here with Colonel Stevenson's regiment of New York Volunteers. For a considerable time he filled the office of Collector of this port. Since 1860 be has been considered among the wealthiest men in California, and two years ago his property in San Francisco would have sold under the hammer for at deast two millions of dollars. Folsom acquired this immense property under the following circumstan- ces:—For several years prior to the change of goy- ernment in California there had been living here a man by the name of William A. Leidesdorff, a ‘Mexican citizen, but a foreigner by birth. At that time any sorte who would pay the price of making out the title papers could get any quantity of ita to land within the present limita of the city, ese lots being some fifty and some one hundred varas (yards) square. Leidesdorft, who seems to have been a man of aome foresight, obtained a large Dumber of these its, and when he died, which ‘was early in 1848, he was considered the largest landowner in this place. And so valueless was ‘this land then held, Leidesdorff, who was owing a few thousand dollars, was pronounced insolvent. Immediately after his death the Aon mines “ broke out,” and town lands rose rapidly in value. An ef- fort was made to seek out the heirs of Leidesdorff in order to make some “arrangement” for the ad ainistratorship; but no one, not even his most inti mate friends, could tell where he came from, no where his relatives resided. By some means or other, however, Folsom obtained an inkling that Leidesdorff’s mother was living in one of the Danish ‘Weat India Islands, and thither he posted, returning in a few months with full power from sauna Maria Sparks to administer upon the estate of her de- ceased son. The courts gave him the administra: torship, and eereetertor Abe bought out Mrs. ‘Spark’s interest. Capt. Vo! hada hard benim ‘however. Eeetiers came apon his lands, and these he had to fight off. The State, too, set up a claim, and the courts were called upon to declare the Leidesdorff estate escheated. For five years, Capt. ‘Folsom was struggling in the meshes of law, and be found relief only in death. Since his death another snit has beea commenced, and this by the United States government. In the great fire of 1851, Capt. Folsom’s papers were all destroyed, and among them all his quartermaster’s vont In consequence of the loss of these papers, he appears a8 a defaulter to the amount of $275,000, and for this sum the government has brought suit. Should this suit go against Capt. Folsom, there will still be left a yer deparone sum for the heirs, as the property gold here on the 10th and 11th insts. was only about one-half the bulk of his estate. The sale I have alluded to is more noticeable from the fact that it is the first great sale of real estate ‘since the bank nsions in February last. We have not yet recovered from the shock which these bank failures produced, but the high prices bid for the Folsom property proves that confidence is the place of distrust, and our citizens are once more smiling in anticipation of the “good time ” coming. The gold mines are yielding more abundantly than ever, and I hesitate not to say that the year 1866 will furnish one-fourth more gold than any year since the discovery of the California placers. Our obituary list furnishes two well known names—Captain Wm. |). M. Howard and Hon. Roderick A Morrison. Captain Howard was among the earlicst of the California pe aud certain] no man bore a larger share of the esteem of his fel- low citizens. Judge Morrison was at one time a member of the New York bar, and w's prominent as the counselof Polly Bodine—a name conspicuous 1m yonr criminal calendar. He was also at one time a member of the New York Legislature. He came to California in 1849, and was elected the first Judge of San Fran- cisco county. For the last two years of his life he was wholly devoted to the iavestigation of the science of spiritualism, and at two different times ‘was an inmate of the State Lunatic Asylum. ‘Our Legislature, now in session, exhibits no ai of making choice of a successor of Dr. Gwin in the United States Senate. The Know Nothings, who have a large majority of the As:embly, are so divided into cliques—Foote, Marshall and Crabbe cliquea—that it is found impossible to make a nomi pation in caucus, and it is more than pro- bable that the election will be put over to 1857, when Mr. Weller’s term expires, and when, as two vacancies will be created, some ‘compromise may be effected. The democrats— Gwin democrats, and Broderick democrats, are all united in their endeavors to stave off the election, in the hope that next year will give them a majority of the Legislature. A new banking honse h 8 been recently opened here. Messrs. C. K. Garrison of this city, and C. ‘W. Morgan of New York, being prominent partners. It is saia to have @ large cash capital. Quiet is rapidly restored in the Indian country. The Indians aro prepared to treat for peace, and no wonder, for they have been terrible esufferers in this war. Whether a e will be last- ing or not, rereains to be seen. I believe there is no peace for the red man until he is in his grave. He must be exterminated. This is not humanity ; bu it is destiny. ROLAND. Tar Passenarrs py THE Sup PARLIAMENT— Cuazacrer or Forericy Immigration To Boston. —Notwithstanding the long and ay, passage of the ship Parliament to this port from Li bea my , ber two hundred and fifty passengers were landed in an excellent condition. Not a passenger died on the passage, except an infant in a fit, while the vossel was at Provincetown, and only two or three were sich when the vessel reached this port, and their ailment was the result of sea sickness. In looking over hor list of passengers we find a less number than usual who are bound immediately for the West. Generally the proportion is about one-third. The ce number of the Parliament's passengers will scattered throughout the cities and large towns of New England. Of the whole number only eight “7 years old rt a About twenty are and Nader A, the lator being females from seventcen to thirt; reat of e, destined for the Holyoke factories, being about five hundred in all who have already been sent over for tiat pur- pose.

Among the passengers was an inhabit- ant of Beverly, who retarus to his home after wan- dering around the world for the period of twenty- two years.—Boston Traveller, Feb. 16, NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 18, TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRRALD. Wasarnaton, Feb. 14, 1866. There is one feature in relation to the appointing Power ofthe United States that is eminently just. As few, however, are familiar with the subject to which we refer, we will explain it somewhat in de- tail. It relates to the appointment of army and Bavy surgeons in the United States service. Many years ago hese appointments were made upon the individual judgment of the President of the United States. But now, before any man can secure the commission of surgeon in the army or navy ot the United States, he must be ex- amined by a board of medical officers appointed for that purpose; and that, too, although he may have received a diploma from the very best of our medi- cal colleges. Nor bas party politics anything to do with the appointment. Any gentleman of proper character and suitable education is allo’ to go before this medical board for examination; and if he shall satisfy the board that he poaseases the pro- r qualifications, he is reported to the head ofthe partment, who presents his case to the President, who sends his name to the Senate for confirmation. Thus it will be seen that it remains with the ap- plicant,in a tt measure, to decide whether oy “ge or not. If he shall master all the branches of the Reotonal th, before he submits to the scrutiny of the » he is sure to pene, Nay, more, the board goes 20 far as to class those who undergo an examination as Nos.1,2,&c. Every inducement ia, therefore, offered to make the surgeons of our army and nay most perfect in their profession. It will be seen from this statement that there can be no favoritism in the judgment of this medical tribonal. In pany every inst the parties are entire euch other. We have referred to the mode by which medical gentlemen enter the service, with the view of mak- ing the country and the members of the two houses of Congress familiar with the system adopted in relation to the medical department of the govera- ment. It fa pr however, that notwithstanding a mere Jj er reene for ae ing ex- cellent surgeons army, a very nom: ber of those who attend the soldiers in the distant portions of the nation do not undergo any exami- nation, And this grows out of the fact, that there is not a sufficient number of surgeons and assistant surgeons at this time authorized by Congress. The Secretary of War and Surgeon Generel have therefore to employ any ical assistance they can obtain in the remote sections of the republic. “To avoid this difficulty, the Honorable Recretary wee, the recommendation of the distin- wished head of the Medical Bureau of the army, urgeon General Lawson, has recommended to Con- gress to enlarge the army surgical force to an extent to meet the requirements of the service, It is to be hoped Congress will act favorably upon this recommendation of the Department. Justice to the sick and disabled soldier, as well as economy, requires this at the hands of our national representa- tives. The preeent system of employing extra medi- cal attendants costs as much, if not more, than the proposed change would require. Besides, the CEN would then have surgeons who had passed the Tigid investigation of the Medical Board of Exami- ners, and the Department at all times have a full control over the medical attendants, as they would then all hold commissions uader the United States. This subject is deephy interesting, and is entitled to the careful consideration of our national Legisla- ture; and the subject not being well understood, I send you this, because your HERALD reaches all who ought to have information on this important topic. oar sheet instructs the million. Q. Some of the Parks of Europe. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HEKALD, It has occurred to me that a brief account of some of the best European parks would be acceptable to your seaders atthe present time, inasmuch as the Commissioners’ report on the Central Park is now confirmed, In my studies of European landscape gardening last summer and autumn, I first sought out such specimens as seemed to be best adapted to our cir- cumstances; and secondly, such as were considered the best specimens of landscape gardening as an art. Under the former class, I place at the head Birk- enhead Park, on the opposite side of the river Mer. sey from Liverpool, as being decidedly the finest public park in Europe. This announcement will probably appear very strange tu Americans generally, who usually, on landing from the steamers at Liverpool, take the first train for London, and do not stop long euough even to inquire about the fino buildings, docks, parks, &c. I make this remark because, daring five months’ aojourn in England and on the Continent, I did pet find one American who had seen Birkenhead Paik. Birkenhead Park wes conceived by the Gommis- sioners of the Borough, and decided upon after seve- ral public meetings, when the subject was fully dis- cussed. The commissioners wisely concluded that a good park in the suburbs of their town, with a zone or belt of fine villa sites around it, would draw to them men of wealth and taste. This expectation has been fully realized, as will appear hereafter. In 1¢43 the commissioners purchased 1:0 acres of lend for a park and other wse8—120 acres of coer are appropriated in perpetuity for a public ark. . Mr. Joreph, now Sir Joseph Paxton, the cele- brated lan pe gardener tothe Duke of Devon- shire, was employed to design and direct the works. A thousand workmen were employea in ue his designs into execution, under the immediate direc- tion of Mr. Edward Kemp, a very clever landacape ardencr, and author of “How to Lay Out a Small arden,” and the “‘Hand Book of Gardening.” The land, criginally flat and tame, and exposed to severe northwest winds from the sea, tie soil a cold stift clay and entirely destitute of trees, were the materials placed in Mr. Paxton’s hands to make apark. No doubt be thought it a hard nut tocrack, but with plenty of means he succeeded in crackin, it ina very satisfactory manner, by creating arti- ficial bills, ridges, mounds, &c., with the earth exca- vated in forming the lakes; all of which appear very easy, graceful and natural. Yn @ iittle more than a year the entiro plot of land, ounce in come parts a low swamp, exhaling the most pestilent vapors, was drained, graded, planted and fenced at an expense, including the lands, of about £130,000—Mr. Paxton receiving £800 for eervices, The villa sites around the park have since been old for neariy enough to pay the entire cost of the lands and improvements, aud mauy fine villas are already built. The remaining lots are owned by in- dividvals, and held at high rates. In the arrangement of the park a serpentine drive of nearly three miles in length enclo-es the park proper, and forms the inner boundary of the villa sites; ancther drive passes through the centre, and eight more develope the land appropriated to villa site:—one end of each of the latier terminates oppo- site the end of a public street, with a lodge and gate. Broad gravel paths develope the interior in a beau- tifvl and artistic manner, the larger part of which is in lawns, hurdled and pastured with fine sheep and cows. The great breadth of these lawns produces a wonderful effect of magnitude. The plantations include all the trees and shrubs ‘| that are hardy enough to endure the climate—which make vp @ great variety—notwithstanaing, many that flourieh vigorously in the central and southern portions of England are excluded, on account of the revere winds and saline atmosphere. There is also a stiff clayey subsoil, which causes the exclusion of Ru ny varieties of evergreens. A couple of fine sheets of water—graced with water-.owl, bridges, a boat-house, &c—enliven the younds. One of the lakes is very irregular, and lecidedly the best managed piece of artificial water Lever eaw, and, so far as I learned, was so conai- dered by all landscape gardeners who have seen it. A rockery so naturally designed and constructed that] was informed it was often t.ken fora real piece of nature's handiwork. This is draped with a few emart touches of Alpine scenery, that reminds one of the picturesque scenery in Switzerland, alot the Rbine, and in our own Alleghanies. Cricket, archery aud quoiting grounds are provided, and are in vse every pleasant afternoon, When the important advantages to the public, and the poorer classes in England especially, of such an extensive and delightful pleasure d is taken into consideration, no one will be inclined to sa that the expenditure in creating it does not merit the most unbounded success and the deepest public ratitude. Here nature may be viewed in her love- jest garb; the most obdurate heart may be softened, and the mind gently led to pursuits which refine, purify, and alleviate the humbleet of the toil-worn. It has been justly observed that in the same pro- tions as rources of innocent amnsement and althy recreations are provided for s people, in the tame proportion do they bec.me virtuous and hap- > The commissioners of Birkenhead have there- fore ket a noble example to the directors of public affairs in large towns; they already have the grati- fication of knowing that many, mony thousands have already been made happier by ir exertions; and generations yet unborn will have occasion to be grateful for this public boon. In this park has been realized nothing more than can be done in any town of similar size and enter- rice in America. All that is necessary is to have e will to do it, and an active and determined board of trustees, and the hand of taste to direct. The suburbs around Birkenhead Park, contain the residences of the best citizens of Birkenhead, and many from Liverpool. Howagp DantEus. Gen Mosquera. We take great pleasure in publishing the following circular, issued by Gen. Mosquera to his coantry- men. It is important, as an index to the hearts of the New Granadians, for all know that Gen. Mos- quera does not talk idly, and that he knows the sea- timents of the people of his country. His frank in- troduction of the gentlemen mentioued in the letter is evidence enough that he knew that the people were prepared to receive it and them. It will be obeerved that the circular is a voluntary offering of the patriotism of this distinguished man; that he sent it out among his people simply as one friend introduces to hia home and family another friend, in whose honor he has confidence, with whose seuti- ments be assimilates, and for whose talents he en- tertaina high respect. Gen. Mosquera has once occupied the Presidential chair of the republic of New Granada.

Broten vs. Ryckman.—Brapy, J.—This is an ac- tion against the maker of a promissory note. The complaint alleges the making of the note, that it has matured, that the whole amount is due to the plaintiff, that it was endorsed and delivered to him by the payee therein named, and demands judgment for the amount thereof. The answer first on infor- mation and belief, says that the plaintiff is not the holder or owrer of the note, and that E. F. Brown is the owner and party in interest. The answer then, eecondly, as aseparate defence, alieges that the note was given to E. F. Brown for services to be perform- ed, nnd that the consideration thereby failed; and further in this connection, that if the plaintiff is the owner, he took it with notice of such failure. The answer then, thirdly, as a separate defence, says that the defendant has no knowledge or information sufficient to form a belief that the said E. F. Brown endorsed or delivered the note to the plaintiff for a vuluable or any consideration. The answer, then, fourthly, as a further and seperate defence, alleges that the plain- tiff is an attorney at law, and if he is the owner of the note he obtained it tor the purpose of prose- cuting it contrary to the statute in such case made and provided. ‘The plaintiff demurs to the whole 0: the answer, except that part of it denying the en- dorrement or delivery of the note by the payee, and for reagons set out in detail—but in reference to the second and fourth defences more particularly tha they are hypothetically stated. The allegations tha the plointitt is not the owner and holder of the uote and that E. F. Brown is the owner and real party in interest create no issue aud amount toa mere traveree, which is not recognized by the Code. They do not deny the property in, and possession of the note by the plaintiff, and yet allege the nate to he- long to another. If these uilegatiuns cheb, od, ag ‘a denial, they would be bad for duplicity. Each de- fence must be separately stated and be an auswer to the cause of action to which it is addressed. (10 Pr. Rep., 68; 6 Saud, 210; 8 Pr. Rep , 242.) Perhaps, if the denial of the endorsement or delivery was not set up aba ceparate delenve the allegations just mentioned would be consistent with it and sustained. As to the firat defence therefore the demurrer is well taken, but different considerations Suggest them: selves as to the residue of the answer. 1am aware that in several cases hypothetical pleading has been declared to be obnoxious, (6 Pr. Rep. 6), 84, 401. 14 Barb. 533 6 Pr. R. 14, 7 Barb. 80,) and an examina- tion of these cases shows that the peculiar torm of denial allowed by the Code has not received the con- sideration which it required. I suggest this with due deffvrence to the learned Judges who delivered and concurred in the opi.ions expressed in these cages. The case in 6 Pr- Rep. supra arose where a detial on information and belie! wus allowed. Thoso referred to in 7 Barb. and 6 Pr. Rep., were cases in which the hypothetical answers were us to the acts of the defendants, and presumptively within their own knowlcdge; and in the case in 14 Barb, Justice Willard, who delivered the opinion in 6 Pr. Rep. supra, also delivered the opinion of the court, citing in support of his views, among othera, the cases menticned. These decisions appear to be founded ona rule of the common law system of pleading, which required a plea seeking to avoid the declara- tion to confess diiectly, or by implication, that bat for the matter of avoidance contained in it, the action could be maintained. (Conger vs. Jolnston, 2 Wen- dell, #6.) Under that system there were bat two pleas —the plea in abatement, and tue plea ol pre darrien continuance, which required a verification. The conscience of the party was not appealed'to,aud the pleader was called upon to consider what his client could declare on oath, but what form he should adopt to place the defence on the regord But hypothetical pleading, even under that syatem, ‘Was not always condemted, as illustrated by Judge Woodruff in Ketcham vs. Zerega, let £. D. Smith, 553. The difficulty under which the defendant must rest as to the denjal of what another did, which he cannot deny, being ignorant thereof, and which he cannot admit for the sume rearon, is not considered in any of the cases mentioned, except in the case of Ketcham vs. Zerega. ‘lie Code has introduced a syttcm entirely new. It 1s not an alteration; it is a radical change, and section 140 not only abolishes all the forms of pleading heretofore existing, bat provides that the rules by which the sufficiency of a pleading is to be determined, are prescribed by the act. This leads to the decision of the questivn, whether under the Code the answer of a defendant under oath, may be hypothetical, and indeed whether it can be otherwise in many cases which may arise. ‘The defendant in this case admits that he made the note sued, but he does not kuow whether it was en- doreed or delivered to the pecraat and he denies any knowledge or information on the subject suffi cient to form a belief which puta that fact in issue. Unless he denies the allegation positively, there is no other mode of reply. He has no alternative. The act prescribes the manner of his denial, and leaves him no choice, The denial is itself, in its own nature, hypothetical. He does not know whe- ther the plaintiff is the owner or not, but if he is, then there is a defence, and so he tells his story. It is a very natural sequence to the statement of his doubt on the subject, and that doubt, of course, he has a right, and when his conscience is appealed to, is obliged to entertain. It follows as matier of law, if the endorsement or delivery be not proved, that the plaintiff cannot recover; but whether it can be proved, remains to be determined aes If, however, it should be fie and the plaintiff is right in court, then the defences alleged are good; avd if proved, the defendant must succeed. He cannot state that the plamtiff took the note with knowledge of the failnre of consideration, because he don't know whetber he took the at all or not, and his oath admuo- nishes him on the sul . It, however, the laintiff did take it, then he took or obtained it un- ae the circumstances and for the pr} stated in the answer. Thus it seems that the defendant could not place his defences before the Court in any other mode than the one adopted from the necessities which the new 8; has crete, and bad the al- ternative of adi ing what might not be true, and 80 his rights or brave his conscience, and aesume to be false & fact alleged of whivh he was ig- norant, This may often be the position of the de- fendant, in which his rights are not to be restricted Nmited or controlled by any arbitrary rule, not of leading, but of verification, which is the trae ques ion in cases under the ode. Judge Woo j remarks, in Ke/cham vs. Zerega, supra, pea’ By 560—"' It Zaay often be true that the defendant la wholly igvaorant of the facta alleged by = the plaintiff, and if 0, he cannot be to ad mittee ‘To compe: him to do 90 fs todo fojustice.” And again—“ It is clear to my Jendant capnot be required, a3 @ condition of aver- new matter, to make an of the facts alleged, which shall preelude bim denying them on the trial.” For these reasons I consider the third and fourth fences well aud sufficiently stated, and that the murrer to them wae not well taken. It was insisted on the argument that the fourth defence was objec- tionable because it did not set out in detail the facta and circumstances of the procurement of the note by the plaintiff to sue. ‘The statute before the Code on- ly requited the defendant to give notice that he would insist upon and prove at the trial that the demand on which the action was founded had been bought and sold, or received for prosecution contrary to law, without setting forth any other particulars. (2 Revised Statutes, fourth edition, 475.) Noth- ing more is now required, and the fact of the pro- curement is alleged sufticientiy for the defence it makes. The judgment must be for the defendant, without costes to either party, and with liberty to the leintift to withdraw the demurrer if he shall deem it advisable. . The Disuntun Petition tn the Ohio Senute. The following is the report of the Committee of Federal Relations in the Seunte, to which was re- ferred the petition of certain persons of Salem, Co. lombiana county, praying the Legislature to take the neceesary measures to obtain a peaceable disso lution of the Union:— The Commitiec on Federal Relations, to whom was referred the memorial on behalf of the Weatern antiSlavery Society, praying a dissolution of the Union, respectfully submitted the following report: Your committee have given all the consideration to the subject of the memorial that its importance demands. They dre free to admit that the federal goverment, like all human governments, has ita uperfections, and:that those who administer it are not intalliable. Still your committee believe that in its principles and workings it approximates more nearly to a realization of the wants of man- kind than any one that has preceded it, and much more nearly than any one that would be likely to rise upon its ruins. Your committee take pleasure in £0; Dg that there is no considerable portion of P the people of Ohio who directly or indirectly sym- pane with the purpose of the memorialista. Loyaliy to the confederacy of these States and un- faltering adherence to the obligations of the federal constitution are predominating characteristics of our people. That though they are not indifferent to the great question of human liberty, they believe it is the part of wisdom to retain in its purity the po- litical, rehgious, educational and social privileges which we now enjoy, and extend those reiecae to the whole human family as fast as a due regard to the rights of all parts of the confederacy will permit. For thece, and a variety of reasons that might be stated, your committee, in the most decided and emphatic manner, condemn the treasonable objects of the memorialists, and ask to be discharged from the further consideration of the subject.

The following report was made in the Rhode Island Houre of Representatives on the 15th inst.:— Executive communications have been received from the Legislatures of the Stutes of Arkansas, Ver- mont, Maine and Massachusetts, containing pream- bles and resolutions on the subject of slavery; the organization’ of the sete of Kansas; its inva- sion by armed citizens of Misaouri; the Fugitive Slave law; the abrogation of the Missouri compro- miee; on slavery in the abstract; on the repeal of laws authorizing slavery in the District of Columbia and the Territories; the repeal of the Fagitive Slave law; the future non-admission of any State to the Union without a condition to exclude slavery; and other matters relating to the exciting politics: topics of the day, And this General Arsembly, having maturely con- sidered the said communications, and the subjects which they embrace, do resolve, That the compromises in our federal constitution ehould be faithfully adhered to by every citizen, and that the laws which bave been or may be passed by Congress to carry out such compromises should be observed and obeyed until they shall have been declared unconstitutional by the highest tribanal— That the Missouri compromise of 1520, entered into to allay an alarming excitement which threat- ened to disturb the public peace, and to produce a tectional collision resulting in civil war, and threat- ening a dissolution of the Union, was made by the antagonistic parties in good faith, and with patriotic motives, and that its repeal by the thirty-third Con- gress is a signal violation of honor, of justice and of plighted faith— That Congresa, having the right to passa decla- ratory act that siavery shall not hereafter exist in the territories, is imperatively called upon to exer- cise that right, without delay— That the atrocious interference of citizens of Mis eouri, and others not residents in Kansas, with the organization of the government of that Territory, deserve the indignant rebuke of the Legislatures and people of every State; and that the State of Missouri is bound ‘to disavow all participation in those acts of violenra and outrage, without delay, or eufter the obloquy due for such flagrant violauonh baie ee w and right— that it is inexpedient for individual States to make a tender of men or arms to Kansas to aid in repelling invaders, as it would tend directly to a eectional, civil war; and it cannot be doubted that the President of the United States will exercise his plenary constitutional power to prevent the recur- rence of such violence and outrage. That at a period of such excitement as the pre- sent, when parties, as was foreseen by the Father of his Country, are characterized “by geographical distinctions,” and the North and South, fired with vindictive feelings, arrayed against each other in hostile attitudes, it is the part of wisdom, as well as patriotism, for each State Legislature in its expres- sions of opinions on these enijects of agitation to be temperate, moderate and candid, nor suffer the im- pulse of excited fecling to transport them beyond the bounds of reason, or to impair that veneration for the Union which is paramount to the most treed objects of all the political parties of the That his Excellency the Governor be requested to forwaid a copy of thes: res dations to the President of the United Stutes, to the Governor of each of the Sates and Territories, aud to each of our Senators and Representatives in Congress, with a request that our delegates in that body will use their beat efforts and influence to secure, by wise and judicious legislation, to every State and Territory, ita consti- tuticnal right.

Tue New York Yacut Cius—The annual eleo- tion of officers of this club, held a few days since, resulted in pene tae of last year. A resolu- tion was passed that there should be three prizes of $260 each, to be sailed forin June next. This is double the amount of last year’s prizee. There was also a rule at that time that no boat should enter under fifteen tons. This year no boat will be allowed to cail under twenty-five tons. WiLu14m B. Astor.—There seems to be a strange disposition to make a target of our friend, Astor, the great millionaire, because he happens to be rich. For our part,we do not quite comprehend the justice or good eense of poking fun at a gentleman ‘becaure he has the good fortane to enjoy an income of a million and a quartera year. Mr. Astor has just as good a right to the le and unrestricted en- joyment of his property as the humblest man among us to the ejnoyment of his day’s wages. If a man is to be madea target of, by way of punishment for his wealth, we shall discourage the getting of property, and a good ted enterprising citizens will Le for abandoning their business purauits, lest they should get too wealthy ana be subjected to the an- noyance of public uttacks on their persons, their motives, their mansions and their families. If Mr. Antor ralges his rents we immediately have a row about. it in the public papers; but why should not he get all he can for houses 83 well as another mau? If he refuses to give money to build a church, or a hospital, or declices subscribing to a railroad, there is at once a terrible rumpus made. But he ovght to Le his own almoner, and to give or not, ag may suit his feelings, as well as the rest of us. ‘Mr. Astor, we presume, does not eat more than he pays for, and we have never heard of his neglecting to pay his taxes. He cannot take his property with him when he die=,and he only acts now as a steward for his tenants, who would not live in his houses if they did not find it to their advantage.

The very next «eek a'ter he had Hignaiizeo bin libesali'y in this manner bo notified his texante, to the number of nearly two hondred, that thelr renis wouid be raised after May next. from tn to twenty percent. Thusit is that militovaices make oue hand warh thecther. Mr. Astor ism study for the authropono- cost.

Mr. Asior hee ‘rever deta clusr of law tuila, and scarcely doer the fire-botl paul its dea‘ening clanger upon the wir without more or leas affecting his pecuniary interests. Of course the writer of this sketch never saw the original of the portrait he attempts to draw. It is marvellovsly unlike the man. Mr. Astor is a tail, raiber stout, and exceedingly quiet looking gentle- man of sixty years, or a little less. He dresses well and neatly, and looks like a well to do and respect- able merchant. His snes hair is slightly sprinkled with grey, and he has a slight stoop in his gait. As to his “trudging his weary way up town” and “di:.ing ine shilling restaurant,” it is all gas. He usually walks when he goes down to Wall street, which is not often,tor his office is up town, in Prince atreet, and he walks as sionally: as any man you can meet on cur streets. Nobody has ever seen him in a restaurant of any kind. He lives in one of the largest and finest houses in the city, in Lafayette place, and gives Slogans dinner parties to the class of intellectnal men of whose society he is fond. He isa man of good reading and scholarly tastes, and though he takes good care of his property, he has given away large sums without any ostentation. Somo five years since he gave the widow of his cousin, George Elhinger, who died’ poor, twenty thousand dollars; and his recent donation to the Astor Library, thongh certainly not an enormous gift for a man of his wealth, shows that he is any- thing but the mean and miserly man he has been represented.
