At the very outeet of the procecdings of this National Council (most probably the last of the Monicars) Mr. Erastus Brooks, through the par- Jiarue ntary device of a resolution offered by bla- lt, secured the impertant position of chairman of the committe to revise the party platform.

But after a profitless debate upon them, a certain geutiemun from the neighborhood of Buffalo, of the eminently historical name of General Gusta- vus Adolphus Scroggs, moved to strike out the whole report of Mr. Brooks and his comantttee, ard to substitute the Philadelphia platform upon which Filimore and Donelson were ran for the Presidepcy.

Com- pure this ominous oversight wish our enthuel- astic metropolitan torchlight procession of | drays and carts of few short months ago, apd we have a wost painful exempli- fication of the precarious tenure of par- tiran idolatry. We take it for granted, from | the tigmBcant neglect of this National Council | to reendorae him, that Mr. Fillmore, as the | American candidate for the succession, is incon- | tinently dropped.

Seward ana Fillmore? The one still in the field, plotting and tional party, the other most awfully defeated as a sectarian candidate in 1856, and silently Ignor- od by his party in 1857, Will it next be the tarn of Master Seward?

This is good news, and we hope that tae balf of it hos uot beea told. The sagacity of Mr. Buchanan as develop-d in bis plan for the purid- cation of Utad, is thas brought out into high re- le. He tas ordered an army force of some 2.800 men to take up the line of marc for tue yreat Salt Lake. A new aod reliavle Govenor will accompany this army, and his firs; official act, under his instructions, will be a prootama. tion embracing an offer of frecdom to the goor enslaved dupes of the falee prophet, and the pro tection of the army to all #bo may thiak fit to abandoc his adulterous and incestuous establisa- my ot. Now, in this intelligence from Leavenworth the wiedom of this line of poiloy is fally con- firm d. With tnis voluntary begioning it will be nod ficult matter to predict the speedy de e-rt-on and dispersion of the outraged followers ot Mormonism on masse, with the eucouraging preserce and protection of the United States ar- my. Iu view of this general evacaation, wo :wonld suggcst to the public functionaries con- cerned, the eccumutation slong the routes from the Sait Lake, eact and west, of copious sapplies of provisiocs; for there is little of subststeoce in Utab, and nothiog along the vast intervening do ets on either eide. We doubt not, however, tbat the foresight manifested in tho Utah policy adupted by Mr. Buchanan will be eustained in toe execution of his plans, even should thoy in- voive the subsistence across the daserts of ten or twenty thoussnd eouls in addition to the army. Tor Ecrorran Tourter Mania.—The sum- mer begira for Europe this year exceeds in pambers any previous one withia our recol- lection, With the immense facilities afford- ¢d to tourists by the continaal maltiplication of steam lines, it is natural that this should be the case, and we must be content to sce pleasare seekers annually deserting our own sammer re- sorts for the greater attractions and more sulid improvement in mind aad health which they find abroad. Toe only counter-check that our water- ing places can oppove toa movement which will gradually thin the number of their fasnionable working for « Presidential nomination by a #0- | visitera, unt’l none are left bat the halt and blind, is to alter their present system. reduce their outrageous charges, give wholesome food at rea- sonable prices, and disconrage fiankeyism and enobbery, in whatever forms they may present themselves. Regarded in any other light there Is no reason to feel alarm at this continually augmenting im- migration from our shores. But few of those that leave us remain away for avy considerable period; for whatever may be the temporary at- tractions of Earopean capitals and so- ciety, they do not compensate sufficiently for the more solid advantages to be found at home, to inanao af ene google to mates a, poo ck exchange of ‘When we com- p-re the numbers of those that coms with tho numbers of those that go, it will be found that even if the latter were to quit us altogether, the balance would still be so largely in ourfavor as to prevent us missing them. Taking the whole of the departures for Earope by fourteen diffo- rent lines of steamers from the 1st of January to the Slst of May of the present year, we find that they ooly amount to 8,208 persons, whilst the emigration to our own shores in the seme period may be eet down at 45,000. For the next five months the pumber of these departures will bo gradually diminishing, whilst daring ‘be same time the arrivals will increase in a more marked ratio than ia the beginning of the year, O¢ the | amounts of moaey carried away and epmtabroad | by American travellers it is of course difi cult to form any very clow estimate Toe wealther, we may assume, spend from $2,000 to $5,000, but the majority considerably leas, If we set down the whole of the departares above stated at an average of $1,000 each, we shall arrive at a tolcrably close approximation to the reality. The aggregate amouat, thefore, taken abroad by travellers during the last five months, may be eztimated in round numbers at $8,000,000. On the per contra side we hate to count an avcrage of $70 « head brought here during the same period by 45,000 emigrants re- gistered by the Commissioners of Eaigraion, making a total of $5,150,000, togethor with an average of $2,000 a head brought by 5,000 first clase passengers by the steamers, making $6,(00,- 000, and on the aggregate of arrivals, $9,150 )90, On this calculation the balance will stand tha:— + $9,166,000 oy QU. srsersesscesssesscseres sees svecceeed $1,15@000 This, as we beforeremarked, only applies tothe first five months of the year. Tho remaining seven months will show very different resulta, for whilst the departares will be contiaually falling off, the arrivals will beincrensing, and with & the introduotion of capital. If, therefore, we ware to set down the ultimate balance in our favor uder this head at from cight to ten millions, we would be pretty near the truth The account, as it stands, it mast be admitted, is sufficiently grati- fying to compensate for the wounds inflicted upon our veulty by this European mania, Tun Frescn Demaxns acaisst Catva—Re- LiGtots PRoraGaypism To BE SaNctionep BY Tneaty—The instructions given to Baron Groa, the French Commissioner to China, could, po ane exception. be advantageously copied by out own government, The new Osemissioner is di- rected, in the firet place, to demand tat France as well as Eogiand ehall have resident repre- sentative at Pekin. Why should we not have the same privilege? The United States will not, we imagine, be satisfed to have her diplomatic agents kicking thelr heels at Canton or Shanghae whilst their French and English colleagues aro treating in person with the Emperor at Pekin, France noxt demands that nino instead of five pairs or shelter. If these advantages aro to be had for the asking, we do not see why we skoald be backward fo putting in our own clslm to them. We will not be content to be put by the Chinese on any other footing tha that of the ; most favored nation, and therebro Mr. Revd may a6 well have his ineiractbas altered at once to mect this Fronch vier of the caw. Baron Gros is also instructd to requ'rs that the number of Brena Consuls in China shall be increased, and their and attributes enlarged withis presorioe® Although in our ignorance ofthe prowt dipto- matio etrength and fusotions of the French agents in China, we are not in a position to fora en opinion es to the precixe meri of this claim, we know that it will fit exactly the necessiti-s of our own case. Let it therefore be put dows in our own list of demands against the Court of Pekin, There is another clause in Barou Gros’ instructions, for which we do not rca any preset orfature necessity as regaids oarsetves. He is directed to require that m‘s:ionaries shull be allowed to preach the Catholic religion ta China, provided they abstuin from all at- tacks upon the existing governme.t and con- form to the laws of the country. As we can- not ensare the last condition, we shall not insist on the Gret, Priests will be politioal meddiers wherever they have a chance, ard Caius atfors too wide a field for their ambition to hope that they will lay aside thelr usnal characteristics there.
