We should like to know whic I wet ut Who's the Bibaster? NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1856. Mr. Buchanan and the Pacific Raihreed Swindle—sSectional Partics—His Wheatland Speech Down South. ‘We publish :o-day an article to which we at- tach seme degree of importance, from the Phila detphia Penmsyianian, on * the Pacific Railroad project befcre Congress,” and another and a very curious article from that rampan: organ of the Jeff. Davis Southern disunion faction—the New Orleans Deta—on the tate Wheatland speech of Mr. Buchanen against “a!| secticnal parties, North or South.” First, concerning the Pacifle Railroad we eus- pect there ie something mere ia this article of the Pennsvantan then appears upon its face, from the fact that Mr. Buchanan has beep epend- ing the last four or five days in the good city of Philadelphia, during which interval the Penn- sylvanien hae been spreading itself upon great political abstractions, and the glorious history, victory, principles and prospects of the infallible democratic party. In this view, it is quite posei- ble that this article upon the “Pacific Railroad project before Congress” may have been written hy and with the advice and consent of Mr. Buchanan himself, and to clear bis skirts of any constractive reeponsibility for this grand land ewindling Pacific Railroad conspiracy. Jt will be remarked that the article in question covers, substantially, the same line of argument against this “railroad project,” as that of the Herat of some ten days ago; and if we may receive it as the semi-oficial foreshadowing of Mr. Ba- chanan’s policy touebing the public @smain, and these railroad land jobbers and spoilsmen, we soay well consider the President elect as entitled to the thanks of the country. In this acceptation the democratic conspirators in Congress will receive a warning which will be apt to arrest their zeal in this “Pacitic Railroad preject,”’ and which may, perhape, persaade them to await an official mterpretation of Mr. Buchanan's San Francisco Pacific Railroad let ter. We interpret the editorial in question as signifying that Mr. Buchanan doee not intend that hie name or bis correspondence shal! be used to bolster up this monstrous railroad land swin- die, but that he washes hie Lande of the whole business, and that hie public land potioy will not «be the railroad land jobbing avd land robbing spoils policy of poor Pierce, vor avything like it. The other article, from the New ans Melt on the declaration of M apan in bis la would be the purpose of hie administration to destroy any eectiona) party” —is also worthy of a special notice.

To this it ie a sul ficient answer to ray that we did no such thing. Our remark was on a point of law, not on the facts of the case.

To that opinion we adhere; and if the jury should acquit Huntin.ton on the ground that thoagh he com- mitied Jorgeries, it was done through a mono- mania which he was anable to resist, we shall regard it ae a very bad precedent for the fatare.

Nor do we feel now that the ripe warninge of this promising young lawyer, or the judicial admonitions of Judge Capron are in any wey necersary to keep us in the right path. ‘me Nicaragua Mecting on Saturday Night— Whe Neutrality Act and whe President's Orders, ‘The gathering at the Tabernacle on Saturday night—a full report of which we gave in yester- day’s Hexacv—for the purpose of devising the proper manner and seeking the means to send material aid to Walker, thus assisting the Court of Directors for our new Indian empire, was not only a respectable one as to numbers, but also in the character and social positien of a large number of the persons present. The amount and manner of the contributions, too, exhibit a peculiar fact in relation to this new movement among the retien republics south of us. itis a singalar evidence of the tone and tendency of popular opinion among the vetter classes of society here, that several of the most fashiona- bie and leading hotele should have come pub- licly forward with contributions, The St. Nicho- las Hotel sends one hundred barrels of bread; the Metropolitan Hotel, five thousand pounds of bacon; and the gueste of several otber popular bousee send in contributions of money. As the purpose of the latter is not particularly stated, we recommend that it be invested in shoes, be- cause we think that with bread, bacon and shoes, the rascals can get along pretty well in that hot climate. There is another contribution that has rather an ominous look: One thousand rifles, This, too, directly in the face of poor Pierce’s orders to the government officers here, to stop all ship- ments of men, arms and provisionsto Walker. We fear there is some one individual in our com- munity—for the thousand rifles look as though they came fromsome one person—who does not entertain a proper high regard for the opinions of poor Pierce. We advise Marcy to instruct John McKeon to look up the individual imme- diately, and to have proceedings commenced against him atonce. We have been trying to understand this matter of the instructions to the government officers, and to find a logical con- nection between it and poor Pierce's Message, but it ie not to be tound. Pierce tells us that he refuses to recognize either of the contending governments in Nicaragua; yet certainly his in- structions, if they could be carried out, would operateagainst one party, and in favor of the other. But can they be carried out? There is the rab. We will not argue the question on the rifles, That point we will leave to be settled atthe same time with the question of Colt’s sending pistols to Rassia, und our shipowners sending their fleetest clippers to England and France for the purpose of carrying on the late war in the East. There- fore we will leave the rifle question for the pre- sent. But the bread, bacon and shoes. Wedon't see what right Pierce, Marcy, or McKeon, have to intercept bread, bacon and shoes anywhere. On the bacon point, Vattel is expressly clear, and he is quite ae good authority as poor Pierce. He states that he cannot take it amiss that a nation selle such things to his enemy, provided it dots not refuse to sel! them to him also. Now, no oue doabts that we are jost as ready to sell bread, bacon and shoes to the allies in Central America, provided Joe White, or any one eise, will come 1 rd and raise the means to pay for them. We shall, there store, back Vattel against poor P and a that the bread, bacon and e sent atonce hy the steamship Tennessee, ew Indian empire. e we have not the slightest og the Neutrality act c his act, because it is , Whatever we may think of its it ie true that Henry Ciay to its pass 0 byond t » other Powers, nation; but Clay is dead now, ilosophers of the presemt day do or what he said.

InrorMa Wastep or Stock Gampiens.- Any person having correct information of the y of the stock gamblers Wesley & Co., the proprietors of the stock gambling journal called the New York Dey Tunes, will please to hand it, ated, to this office. This Wes ley was for a broker st Albany, and was probably intimate with the race of gamblers in railroad stocks who have lately arisen at Albany and in the Western towns of this State. Having removed to Wall street, the great mart for stock ambling, be purchased an interest in the Daily Tice and is supposed to have contributed from 'y to seventy thousand dollars towards keep- it afloat. Since hie connection with thet journal began, bis stock gambling operations have been largely increased; he bas operated to the extent of millions in fancy stocks, speculative perty, 1 Post Office sites, politicians and *; in the recent W eet, explosion, to have been iuterested ia cornering to the extent of @ million of dollars. He is now engaged in cornering poor Pierce, by selling him the churchyard at the corner of Beckman street and Pack row, including the re maine of past generations under the soi); t dispored of ata profit to the gam- biers of more than a bundred thousand dollars. All information throwing light on the history of stock gambling, in Wall street, and on stock gambling jonrnalirm wil) be thankfully received, and used in euch & manner as to put the com. munity on its guard against faney stock opera- tors and stock gambling newspapers. 2, whole to be Savere REBCKE “10 tue Recorver axp Crry Jur The Grand Jury, on Saturday last, ad- ministered to these officials a pretty sharp re- boke, in the shape of reeolutions endorsing the conduct of the polic late election.

This ie another of the results of the Con- cordat. Ip Parie a similar business ie carried on, even by the orthodox Israelites, without hind- rance or molestation, for in France the Catholic Church is of very limited influence in the direc- tion of public affairs. This curious race of people, marked by charac- teristic differences which have not been effaced since their overthrow as a nation, have within the last half century greatly advanced in their social position. The increasing liberality of the age bag relieved them from many of the disabili- ties under which they have labored for ages. In England, a Jew is another person from what he wag in the time of Richard the First, or even George the First. The Lord Mayor of Lon- don is a Jew, and so are some of the members of Parlisment. In 1833, the first Jewish lawyer, named Gokdemid, was admitted to the English bar, and in New York there is quite 2 number in the profession, The Rothschilds are professedly the greatest stock gamblers in Europe, and tbe best friends of kingly borrowers. In Germany all the highest walke of literature and philoso- pby are filled with Jews, and in this couutry we find them in our colleges and schools of learning, and in the Senate of the United States. They excel in many of the fine arte, and as composers, musicians and actors they are remarkable for their excellence. We need not }ook fartber than our own theatres to observe their predominant tastes. They tread the stage as performers, or fill the boxes of the Academy as patrons of the lyric art. The greatest actress in the world is a Jewess, Rachel; the most popular ballad singer of the day is a Jew, Russell. The composers of some of the most scien- tific and classical operas ere Jews. In business none are more keen, though others may be more scrupulous. They occupy whole streets in Europe; they are beginning to do so in this country. Io this city, and even in Aibany, there are paris of the town where they monopolize their peculiar branches of trade. Many of them do not hesitate to keep their shops open on the Christian Sabbath, as well as their own, and we have heard this complained of by other tradesmen as a great ad- vantage taken of those who observe at least one day in the week. The peculiarities of the Jewish character are thought to consist in the single mindedness with which each individual follows his peculiar pro- fession. A cotemporary says of them, that “they have the power of seizing the strong points of whatever they attempt to to do, beyoud any other nation, and develuping them with uosur- passed energy and enterprise.” Nothing is al- lowed to stand in the way of their projects, and thus they appear selfish in everything they under- take. But they are devoted to each other, and are capable of the most generous actions. It is difficult to say, what at this time are the real tenets of the Jews. The old distinction of Sadducees and Pharisees ie pretty mach gone— the latter prevailing in the synagogues, and everywhere in the ascendant. In Africa, it is said some of the former may yet be found, who deny the resurrectién of the body. Much ioti- delity, according to their own Rabbis, prevails among them everywhere, and the lower classes are very ignorant and poorly informed as to the exact nature of their fal The more learned are very subtle and able io support of their opinions, and are difficult to be overcome in argument. It is a common opinion among these that the Socinians of moderu times assimilate closely in their belief, and would become Jews if it was not for the rite of ci The synagogues io this city are numerous, ant several of them very clegant in their inter The service is solemn and carious, and the ze «1 with which the prayers are recited is remarka We have seen cours'ng down the ks of men of matae as they uttered heart felt invocations e God of their fathers. ‘The rites of their religion are very scrupulously followed in this city by a large namber of the faithful, and some of their o nonies are singu- lar enongh. The Feast of Tabernacles was ob- served by some of the most strict, by their actually living out of their houses, in their dens, during the allotted period; and even the little boys of that persuasion might have been seen sitting on dry goods boxes, at shop doors, with green branches over heads, in playful remembrance of the feast. The Jewish population of this city is estimated by many as high as 30,900. It is utterly impossi- ble to say what their numbers are in the whole world. A recent estimate gives the total at ten millions, which is three times and a third mere than it was when they were in Canaan. Others suppose that the extent ie six million. Their dixpersion over the earth is remarkable fulfil- ment of the predictions of their own prophets ; Unt their final restoration to their ancient howe is fully believed in. The period of this return is fixed by some commentators at 1866, to be pre ceded first by the fall of the Turkish eimpir At we walk up Chatham street, however, we see no particular preparation nor much anxiety fi euch an event as a trip to Palestine. GenenaL Mosquena’s Re ro Prcrcn’s Mrs sace.—We publish to-day a remarkable docu ment from General Mosquera, ex-President of New Granada, and now Senator of that repab- lie, being a reply to the errors contained in that portion of President Pierce’s Message relating to our pending questions with New Granada, Gen. Morquera’s intimate knowledge of all the qu: tions between the two governments, from the time of their inception, and the high part he has borne in the negotiation o: the existing weaties between the two nations, make bim a compewnt authority upon the subject. The postal question in relation to our Calisor- nia mails is ably and lucidly treated, and Gen. Morquera conclusively shows that the Presideat has been very grossly misinformed in stating that the tax lately enacted would amount to two mil- lions of dollare—it being really less thaa one- tenth of that sum. The tonnage law and Pana ma riot questions are also clearly set forth, and we ure giad to see that General Mosquera takes the unqualified position that the sufferers by the Panama massacre must be promptly and amply indemnitied. We commend the document to general perusal. EE A Sirent Mistakn—The Albany Aves and ie mistaken when it states that our inflo- ence was on the side of the loving candidates in | this city and State.

The Albany Addas is aleo informed that the New Yorx Henaiy stands entirely aloof from all stockjobbing or stock gambling of any kind. The story which the .4das copies from a dirty evening paper here, is false in every point of view, so far as the Hunaxp is concerned. The Albany Aias is more under the control of the stock gamblers here than any journal except those they own, and it has always been concerned with the railway stock gamblers at Albany. The Atlas and Argus is the mere residuum of the old, corrupt, broken down Albany Regency. THE LATEST NEWS.
