The importance to our commercial interests of the two treaties that ave presented for the immediate consideration of the new Cabinet can- not be overrated: We heve already considered them in their general bearings in this respect; but they are worthy ef a more particular end exact examination, as they involve the adoption of a new principle in our system of treaties with other nations. Hitherto we have confined our- selves, #0 far as the commercial policy of the government is concerned, to the securing of equal privileges for our ships to those of the most favored nation, while the poliey of seeking the direct benefit of our producers and mianu- factorers, through negotiations with foreign governments, has been persistently ignored. Great Britain, in pursning the opposite course, has contributed largely to the building up of the world-wide influence of her merchants, whose transactions now rule in most of the markets of the Old and the New Wond. The time has come for a change in this policy, and we hope to see it introduced by Mr. Buchanan. The treaty lately negotiated with Mexico com- bines all that we could ask for in favor of our manufacturing and commercial interests, For many years we have been sedulously excluded from ber markets, not by any advantages our rivals possess over us in the cost of production and manufacture, but by a system of specious legislation that has effectually excluded our breadstaffs, cotton and cotton goods from her markets. A specious cystem of legislation on her part, stimulated by foreign interests within her borders, has placed high protective duties upon the importation of cotton goods ostensibly jor the benefit of her domestic manufactures, while at the same time abe has strictly prohibited the importation of the raw material for ber looms. Here there is seemingty no partiality of legiata- tion, and in the law iteelf there is not; but there is ® coincident policy which converts the law into a system of direct protection to British merchants The protective eystem of Mexico gives rise there, as it does everywhere else, to a per- fect system of smuggling, in which all en- gaged in commerce with her take a part. In the carrying on of tbis contraband trade frequent conélicts necessarily arise be- tween the authorities and the trader. If the trader is an English merchant bis goverament immediately takes his part, and, under the ever abandant specious pretences that are alleged in the case, the exhibition of energy, and not seldom of force, on the part of the government of Great Britain, obtains immediate redvess to him, and he continues in his course of trade with i confidence. A marked case in point } CS tem of diplomatic proteetion has by ly exhibited in the case of Barron & (i 3h merchants at 'Tepic, on the Pacific. “ane un. - ties with this house grew out of an attempt . the part of President Comonfort’s government to stop the immense system of smuggling there, which Completely destroys ell its sources of reve- nue on that side of the republic. Through the interposition of the British government Mr. Forbes has returned triumphant to Tepic, and the trade continues. In cases where our own citizens are involved, the action of our govern- ment being governed by the principle of right rather than of policy, the American is sure tu sufler. Under the continued aetion of these systems, our trade with Mexico, amounting formerly to nearly five millions of dollars in ex- ports alorie, hae dwindled to nothing, while that of England has absorbed neariy all ber commerce. Under a different system of commercial legis lation, such as is contemplated by the new treaty, a large cousuming market will be opened wo our manufactured goods aud our breadstuffs, aud the lubor and capital of Mexico herselt will be tur. ed into their natural channels of employment, to her own evident advantage, We can send ber the class of cotton goods ber seven millioas of people require cheaper than she uow gete them from Europe; aud ber people, left feee in their indus try, will be enabled to get out dye woods, calti- vate the sugar cane and coflee tree, and exchang their products with us without the fear of famine Lefore their eyes, as is now constantly the case. The Dallas-Clarendon treaty involves similar nl advantages for us, if not, indeed, greater. ¢ growing trade with the Pacific ports pot only demands increased means of cou tiow across the Isthmus, but cheaper modes t. The monopoly now held by the Pana- road Company is as mayb an embarrass. trade as it is a facility. Its tariff of s lor the conveyance of goods over forty: les of railroad, is as high apie 4 as the ht of the same goods from the porte ot Ea Tope or our Atlantic coast to Colon, its eastern terminus. What we want t6 give a stimulus to our trade with the Westera shores of America and the Pacific ocean is increase of facilitics aad competition in the Isthmus trauait. Nicaragua possesses one of the most availabl: of the known routes, but has been delayed in its developement by the « stant intestine ware there, and the bickeringe etween Eagland and the United States in reg dito those countries. These bickerings have arisen from the defence ot abstractions on both sides, which neither ‘ave ever carried ‘ate practical action. The Monroe doctrine, on our part, is a windy babble for the benetit of po!liciaas, which we have always aban- doned when called upon to apply it to a practi- cal parpose. The Mosquito protectorate has been a similar plaything to Buglish demagogues, which her statesmen have often expressed their willing- noes to abandon, and which they have already o earnest of their wish todo. establishment of peace in Nicaragua, and come government capable of inspiring com- tneroe with confidence in its will sad ability to t. is one of our great confmercial neces- sities. The DallasClarendon treaty is the first step to the attainment of this end: and a thing in is half done. The cessation of our vickorings with England in relation to Central America wit soon give us another permanent transit route across fhe Isthmus, and open a com- petition for the benefit of trade. The new Mexi- can treaty ise long stride, also, toward making the Isthmns of Tehuantepeo available to the vorld. Let these clroumstances have their due weight in the contideration of the new treaties, and let us enter at once upon a course of sensible protect once be and practicable diplomacy for the extension of cating all the offices and replacing the removed officials by adherente of the new administration would of course have been expected on all sides. But }s Mr. Buchanan’s election was a retention of power in the hands of the same party, it was hoped by parties holding office «der the gene- ral government that ne rotation woukl take place, and that they would be retained ia the poets they fill. ‘The anticipation is unfonnded. After due con- sidustion of the question Mr, Buchanan has decid- ¢d to pursue the plan of rotation, just as thorough- ly ss if he had succeeded a political opponent in he Presidency, That plan, indeed, is so clearly invelved by the one term principle to which Mr. Buchanan stands pledged that he could not have acted otherwise without obvious inconsistency. It must he understood therefore that from and after the 4th March instant, every one of the hundred thousand offices under government, with salaries ranging from $20,000 to $50 a year, was and is at the disposal of the President. Office holders will do well to prepare for the future. There may be cases of course wh ff honest and faithful public servants may aot have yet fulfilled their term of office. In such cases Mr. Buchanan may deem fit to allow sbese par- ties to complete their term, and then act upon the principle of rotation. But it is well that it should be generally known that euch favors will be a matter of grace to the incumbents, and not in anywise a recognition of any right in.them to the balance of their term of office. With regard to the other and equally impor- tant question to politicians—the selection of per- sons to fill the offices that will be wacated—the principles that will guide the judgment of the President are few aud clear. In the first. place, the best men of the party will be the only candi- dates whose claims will be considered. Iu the abundance of applicants, the President will be under no necessity of appointing to ofice any such men as bave disgraced past admin- istrations and brought shame upen the couatry. Where the candidates are eveuly balanced in point of capacity and fitness, the President will derive advautage from reference to aatecedents. There are politicians whose past lives have beea quiet, orderly, decent, respectable; whose ser- vices to the country and the party have bees mo- destly rendered, whose names have not been a byword in every barroom, end whose vaicee have not always been beard ewearing, sod scoid- ing. Again, there are other potiticiaus whose whole life bas been a series of broils and quar- rels; whose name has never beeu oat of the news- papers, snd whose voices have never been raised except to baw! injuries at their colleagues, to spread diesensions through the party, and to bring discredit upon American politics abroad. The experience of the late Presideutiml canvass in this State will furnish specimens of this Kutter pecies of politicians, even in high office. As rtween candidates belonging to these to dif rent classes, the President can ha * to ve the preference to the former. ina m al os well as a political poiut of view such a dis crimination could not fail to be productive of wholesome results. For if these brawlers damage the party, as no one-doubta they do, it is equally certain that they demoralize the profession of politics, and invite foreign contempt for the coun- ry and its lea Courr Greowsxr sy THe Fueip.--Count Gurowski, the foreign editor of our contempo- rary the 7'ribune, who during the Crimean war so regularly pointed out the blunders of the French and English generals in conducting the cam- paign, bas taken the field himself in defence of bis literary and strategic reputation, and is about to pay off on the French division in this city what his countrymen failed to do during the siege of Sebastopol. {i seems that Gount Ga- rowski is one of the applicants for the position of foreign translator in the State Department under General Cass, In commenting on the fact the Courrier des Btote Unie wade vome remarks apon the literary and critical reputation of the noble count, to which the following is intended as a reply :— James Goxvon Basvert, Key — eike-The HERALy of yoerday. i, convelar trap) jatien frm the Courrier des Bia Unie ol an directed ogaiust me. 1 appesi to your \mpartis') request yOu 10 iptert the snewor sent by mo te the enor Yours respect'ulty, DE GEN IWAKL.

We hear that parties are already on 100 canvassing the country for subscriptions to a great Presidential fund, which, it is expected, will soon amount to a million of dollars, The candidate proposed to be run is Judge McLeaa of the Supreme Court, whose dissent from the judgment in the Dred Scott case recommends him to the tavor of the party. Of course, were he elected, he could do no more than Mr. Bucha- nan or any other President im reference to the principles settled by the Dred Scott case; he would be bound to carry out the law of the land, as determined by the United States Supreme ; Court, just like any other magistrate; but the anti-slavery people of the North desire to elect bim in order to express their dissent from the jadgment of the Court in the most public aad ‘emphatic manner.

Government ADVERTISING —Among other «questions of importance to which the attention of he administration should be directed is that of advertising for the departments. It is plain that vneh advertisements should be published accord- bg to the usual business rule, in the journals having the vest and widest circulation. Toe au- thoritics at Washington will'undoubtedly take a common sense view of the matter. The commoa sense view of advertising basiness is, one whd bas apything to sell, or who wither to hire, or to purchase to supply a want, or to ol tain employment, or to give publicity to anything proper tor the public eye, will obtain access fer that purpose to the journals which have the beat and the widest circulation. This view of the matter should be more generally adopted by all pabtic bodies, which, however, sometimes over- ook it—hide away their advertisements in ob- vare sheets to make jobs for some broken down Politicians. A reform was initiated some years since by Mr. Mangum, who introduced in the Se. nate of the United States a bill providing tuat so much of the advertising of the Post Office De- partment as referred to the lists of uncalled for letters should be published in the papers having the largest circulation withio the limits of the Post Office district, and the law farther provided for a rigid scrutiny by the department before the journal was selected. The matter has been kept entirely distinct from politics, and it is the only government advertising which has been done in 4 common sense way. It oaly applies to the list of letters, however; the other advertising of the Post Office, as well as the other departments, is scattered about in the old way, and is rarely seen by the persons who are most interested in it. The rule which applies to the list of letters should be extended to ail the official advertising from the State, Treasury, War and Navy departments, Althongh there is ho special law on the subject, we trust that the new heads of departments will see that the go- vernment advertisements are published in jour- nals which are read by the people. Mr. Cobb, the Secretary of the Treasury, who is progressive in the right way, sheuld give thie matter hix earvest attention. se The Hon.

Vexauiry or tir Stxpay Preess.—The Sao- day journals, although they have bat little cir- culation out of the grog shops, and 10 iotlaence anywhere, yet continue to make considerable furs—their stock in trade being chiefly personal abnee. Two of them have hung ‘hemselves upon the skirts of the democracy, and with appetites sbarpened by long fasting and a faint prospect of gutting a bone or two trom the spoils of the new administration, quarrel over the bite before they have received it. The editors of the Mercury walk into the editors of the Aves, charging them with grows sad shameless venality, bribery, lying, libelling, and oll sorts of crimes and misdemeanors. Now, we haven't the slight. ext objection to the course of those fellows in showing cach other up, on the principle that, when “thieves fall out honest men get tieir dues,” and because they stand convicted of rhameicss venality by their own words, But we think that their conduct is ungenerous to the last degree, when they direct their unmanly assaults against the young and popular artis’¢, Mme, De Wilhorst, Some of the meanest of these journals publish the most im- pertinent and libellous asmults against Mme- De Wilhorst and ber husband, who, it appears, has been outrageously belied by some of the cliques, according to the statements. He has been charged by some of the hangers-on of the Sunday press (for there is nothing too mean for a vagabond to cling to) with throwing away bis wife's money, and being ankiad and unamiable in his personal behavior towards her. There is not a word of truth in any of these statements. They have all been gotten up by some of the venal and malicious afiachés of the Sunday papers, who occasionally are admitted into re- spectable places of amusement, when, if they had their deserts, they would be excluded from all contact with decent men. Mme, De Wilhorst, with her talent, beaaty, spirit, a¢complishments and perseveranee, vises enperior to the attacks of a euch vindietive ereatnres as the fungi of the Sanday press, It ie the old story of the moon and the barking dog over again. a —_—_—_—_—_—_— THE LATEST NEWS.
