We have every reason to believe tha’ yes * serday this Crampton difficulty wae eubstactial- ly eettled; and’ that Crampton will——remaio at his poet. #*eaong our private despatches of last evening from Washingtomwas one which said—“ I am informed that Crampton will be dismissed (recollect, will be dismissed); but (ark the bat) the probability is that jno definite action will be had till after the Cincia- nati Gonvestion.” This information is very suggestive; but in conmection with another despatch ’rsceived last night, it becomes almost conetusive to our mind, The other deapatch to whichwe refer stated that the State Depart- ment réfases to give eut a copy of Lord Cla- remdon’s letter to Mr. Dailies for publication; and the: ‘it has beem suppressed in the Vadion- al Tattitigencer.” Were are three distinct specifications. First, that although Crampton is to be dismissed, no definite action will take “place till atter the Cincinnati Conventien.: Second, that the ai- miniztration refuses to permit the publication of'Lord Clarendon’s last explanatory letter. ThirJ, that the publication of said letter had been arrested at the office of the National Intel- Sigencer. These three poimts may be very easily explained. First, it is very likely that if he cam avoid it, Mr. President Pierce will “take nedefinite action on this matter till after the ‘Cincinnati Convention—because, if he die misses Crampton in the-fece of Lord Claren- -den’s apologies, it may damage Mr. Pierce ‘among the seaboard Scuthern delegates to Gincinnati. On the other hand, should it be proclaimed now that Crempton is to be retain ed, it would certainly be prejadicial to our hopeful Executive among the delegates of the great West, the people cf which section, being faz in the interior, and perfectly secure against the visit of any part of the great Spithead «squadron in the event of war, are rather anx- vious than otherwise for a brash with John Bull and alook into Canade. Better, therefore, says Pierce to Marcy, keep the question in statu quo till after the Cincinnati Convention. And + Marcy acquiescee, because it is his idea exactly. ‘But the most curious, interesting and im- portant of these three points is that in rete- rence to the euppreesion of Lord Clarendon’s letter at the office of the National Intelligencer. authoriziug the emp) oymen: of, a natiozal vessel in | 42iigencer being an anti-administration paper ? aidof the Cape de Ver desufierers.

How, then, did the Jntedligencer get this letéor while it was denied to the Union? Just in this way, Mr.. Dallas sent a copy or two of said letter to his government, and Marcy has Kept them safe and sound; but Lord Clarendon, of course, simultaneously semt @ copy or two of the same'letter to his minister, Mr. Crampton, and bere is the source, undoubtedly, from which the letter. was. secured by the /ntelligencer. “Whg so? Because.we are of the opinion that, edhcerning thie letter of Lord Clarendon, itis believed by Mr. Crampton that it will be per- fectly satisfactory to the American people io his bebalt, and hence his desire for ite publica- tionin advance of the “definite action” of the administration. The question nezt recurs, how: why, and. by whom, was the publication of the letter.in-the Intelligencer arrested?

How.2 epecial favor’ Because it is highly probable that this letter ef Claren- don gives euch a satisfactory margin for fall ab- solution to Crampton, that its publication now, in advance of apy “definite action” on she part of the sdminisiration, wauld leave our Cxecu- { tive no other alternative than the forgivences | of Crampton through the compulsory operation | of public opinion. ‘But if Mr. President Pierce and his good man Msroy desire the credit of the settlement of this question without the offcious intermed- dling of the newspapers, his Excellency will have to be quick abont it; for we expect this letter of Lord Clarendon with our English papers ty the steamer Fulten today.

Young New York trembles in ite patent leathers; desires to knowif the extra- dition of Crampton will involve the necessity ef sending back Miss Louisa Pyne, Miss Laura Keene, Mr. Burton, Mr. Wallack, and other British artiste, who, for a “consideration,” amuse, enlighten and refine the theatre going population of the land of the free and the home-of the brave? That would be terrible. In musical circles there is an excitement about the opera, Max Maretzek having accom- plished the tremendous and hitherto consider- ed impossible feat of keeping the Academy open several weeks, and having some cash on hand. Vestvali was the excitement last week; “Luisa Miller” is the excitement this week. Go and see Luisa. Then there is the Nicaragua excitement— quite fierce since Col. French came to town. People gaze with admiration, not unmingled with fear, at those gallant heroes, covered with buttons and beard, who ornament Broad- way, and are thirsting for an opportunity to show themselves Lafayettes and Kosciuskos. Some of the guid nuncs apprehend a collision between Ceptain Sands, of the Sasquehanaa, end Captain Tarleton, of H. B. M.'s frigate Eurydice. Others think Tarletoa will ask Sands to dinner and settle everything over wine and walnute; that the only balis u=2d will be the soir.es dansante given by the officers to each other. It is safe to say thet Greytown will not be bombarded this time. Coming a little nearer home we have the Kansas excitement, which is the shallowest of el humbugs, and which ie only kept up by very hard work. It will not do, although the Seward papers cling to it as their last hope. Nobody cares who shot Jones, or whe- ther Reeder escaped, or what the Congressional Committee is about. Such investigations only help to muddle an affair about which there has been an awful amount of lying from the commencement, In the shape of a sanitary furore .we have an excitement on the yellow fever question. Some timid people think that because the fever was in Norfolk last year it will be here this summer. It is simply absurd, this panic, because the fever miaama is engendered from ewampe, which our island is happily free from. We canaot afford such luxuries. There is not much reality in any of these public excitemente. That about Nicaragua bas the moet vitality, and may entangle our relations with England; but when Mr. Pierce hae got just far enough im a fight to smell powder, he always falle from his horse. So Wall street may buy, sell, speculate, barter, corner, the same as usual, and our volunteer militia may rest satisfied that their duty wil! be confined to enlivening Broadeay, and that their-showy uniforms will not be sullied with villenous saltpetre. Disruption or Panrigs, 17s Bearing upon THE PRESIDENTIAL Questioy.—In times of high political excitement, when parties are muar- shalled by violent and able leaders, party di- visions,are ao narrowed down in their isaues, and become so abselute and imperative as hardly to allow to individuals the right of private judgment or freedom of individual ac- tion oa political subjects. Like a torreat, par- ty excitement sweeps everything before it; whatever reeiets or attempts to impede its couree, ie carried helplessly away and destroy- ed. Noto in times like the present, when par- ties are completely. broken up, either by the treason, weakness or death of their leaders, or the disappearance of old issues, Row, individual opinion stands erect and successfally claims its share of inflaence in ths conduct of public affaira aod the selection of public egents, The last few years, from caus2s we will not now particularly advert to, have seen all the old parties almos; entirely dis- banded. Many of their leaders have susk into the grave, leaving s chaotic inheritance of opinions, of intereets and of sentiments to their succestora. For the first time since the origin of the government, the most enlightened clases of ail the old parties, with the exception of iocre spoilsmen and their satellites, now boldly aseme to think for themselves, and as poldty reiute to obey the mandates of absolute party orgenizations, unless the public weal Is evi- dentiy consulted in their movements in regard to meesures and men. It is no longer ia the power of aset officeholders or offise expeot- ante to control the peogle or silence the ex- pression of individual enlightened opinion, A mase.of numbers, amounting to handreds of thousande, constituting a force of individual opinion as irresistible as fate, has risen up throughout the land to frown down that vata end wicked ambition which would render the welfare and safety of the country subservieot togrivate political intervete. To o: ptivate these independemt minds, and to secure their influence at the polle at the coming Presiden. tial elastion, candidates must be brought tor- ward who commend themselves to popular favor by lives of public service, illustrated uy proofe of ability, wisdom and patriotian None other than candidates Of this desceiption worthy of New Yorn’ The Councilmen voted | 21,000 on Monday for the purpose, in epite of | \ ond ot least deserves respect, can hope for the support of the hundreds of thousands who compore the independent and | thinking classee.

Thue we discern in the occasional disraption of parties a new guarantee for tue success of our syetem of government by a relapse of s0- ciety into that individuality of thought, of ac- tion and of opinion whiek eonstitutes that pa lic reason on which alome governments can ba safely estavlished or successfully administer- ed. Letstroog snd experienced men, of well tested abilities, be brought out, and we shall see the independent classes whose opinions are formed by reflection, and in reference to the general weal, hastening to the support of that candidate whoce triumph will afford the most eatiafactory guaran’ee for the safe, tranquil and coneervative administration of the affairs of thie great country. The success of sach a candidate is beyond all question. Bat bring into the field, at the present critical moment, the embodiment of imbecility, or a representa- tive of extreme doctrines, whose skirts bear the traces of violent and angry collision, and the result will most probably be defeat, pro- tracted discord and the triumph of a party whore success is synonymous with disunion and a train of evileof which no one caa see the end, or even contemplate without shuddering. Comonrort’s Progress iv Mexico.—I: is evi- dent that the party at whose head Senor Co- monfort is placed does not intend to resign the leadership of Mexico without a struggle. Against the church especially they will fight hard. Our Mexican correspondent, ina recent letter, put the case between the government and the church in a very clear light. By the old Spanish laws the church was not only for- tified by spiritual entrenchments, but it was castellated in ever £0 many close corporations or fueros, which, like inside forts, remained im- pregnable to the assailants even after the out- works had been taken. There were fueros of monks and fueros of nuns; fueros of parish priests and fueros of city priests; all claiming and epjoying in virtue of law and custom pri- vileges inconsistent with democratic liberty, and subversive of social order. Again, in civil matters, the power of the church was unbounded. Not only did the clergy, to use the words of an energetic writer, sieze man- kind by the throttle at the two ends of life, so that a man could neither be born nor die with- out their aid; but they assumed control over the moet important act in life, marriage; and asa corollary from this asserted jurisdiction over every subject to which births, deaths and marriages led, such as inheritance, wills, di- vorces, prostitution, &c. Besides, they were sole judges in any case in which a member of the clergy, male or female, was concerned; and they asserted as a natural consequence of their holy calling their right to superintend education, letters and art. Such was the state ot the Papal church at the time when Aranda in Spain, and Pombal in Portugal led royalty torebel against it, and commence its over- throw. Unfortunately, as we have seen in other colonies, Canada, for instance, the liberties conquered by the mother country were with- held from the Provinces in America. Mexico retained her dominant priesthood in all their arbitrary pivleges long after there had been no church at all to speak of in Spain. It has euffered since; there are Mexicans whose souls are believed to be their own; but the churck has not yet suffered, even in all the revolution and civil wars it has gone through, sufficient- ly to render it a contemptible antagonist. It is, however, a very wholesome and grati- fying sign, that the new Congress has affirmed the great measure of the new government abolishing the religious fueros and rendering the clergy responsible to the civil tribunals. It is well known that President Comonfort had set his heart on the passage of this measure; that it was. supported by him with uncommon zeal, and that in some measure he was willing to stake his government on its successs: that the church opposed it with all the skill and the vast resources which it has at command. It passed, however; and now no priest will be able to plot in an underhand way against the execution of the laws, and de ride the ministers of justice when he is called to account. All true friends to Mexico will congratulate themselves on this result, and will hope that this is only tke beginning of a series of vigorous measures against the intolerant hierarchy which has been such a curse to Mexico. At the same time Senor Comontort is doubt- lees aware that foreign sympathy will be aroused in his favor quite as quickly by active measures to advance the material interests of Mexico as by negative measures to crush her enemies. Good commercial treaties with all the commercial Powers are badly needed; the sooner they can be negotiated, and the Mexi- can tariff placed on such @ footing that a change need not be expected every month, or ® seizure of goods for frivolous purposes, the better for Mexico—the better for the demo crate, It is already announced that Mr. Gade den hag negotiated a postal treaty, in virtue: f which the United States will pay seventy-five thousand dollars and Mexico the same sum toward the maintenance of a regular fortnigh § ly mail between New Orleang, Galveston and the Mexican Gulf porte, This is well; but how about a commercial treaty?
