Sixth Ward Politics in Central Amer- fea—Partisan Abuse at Home and Abroad. | Americans are apt to flatter themselves that they excel all other nations in whatever they ‘andertake ; that they can build faster steamers, ight bloodier battles, “dive deeper, stay longer sander water, and come out drier,” than any other people under the sun. And we have no oubt that our partisan politicians are happy in the belief that in the management of political affairs, controlling elections, and generally *‘running the machine,” they sustain a corres- ponding superiority. But this isa delusion— -@t least in so far as blackening the character of the opposition candidate constitutes a part -of the electioneering system. Whether it be that our Spanish-American cousins have im- proved on the leseons taught them by our par- tisan editors, or that they have a natural talent for that sort of thing, we are unprepared to say; but one thing is certain—they are achieving an unprecedented success in the art of defama- tion. Not that we imagine that their public men ere altogether paragons of civic or po- litical virtue any more than our own; but ‘we can scarcely believe it possible that “they are such complete monsters as they are represented. We are led to these remarks by a series of electioneering documents which have come to our hands through the last Central American mails. The little worlds of Honduras and San Salvador are con- vulsed, in their Lilliputian way, with Presiden- tial elections, and the rival parties which di- vide them are “circulating the documents” after a fashion which reminds us of the days of “Qoffin Handbills” and “Plebeian Tracts.” One -of these, directed against the actual President ‘of Honduras, General Guardiola, is quite up to ‘the standurd of Amos Kendall’s famous or in- * famous pamphlet against Henry Clay, and is ‘entitled Compendium’ of the Most Notable Acts of General Santos Guardiola.” It opens in the following emphatic style:— Péopte of Honduras! We speak of General Santos Guar- -@iola, « morster visited on the world to the dishonor of Himanity end the disgrace of our country, who unites in imeeif afl the crimes and vices known amoagst mon. ‘Bis vulgar aspect, his brutal manners, sardonic laugh mi narrcw and sinister ambition, betray the corruption of his soul and the degradation and hardness of his heart. But we ao vot Intend to paint the ‘this man, the epitome and emblem ‘only to draw votice to the following ot bis crimes. This flattering introduction is followed by @ list of alleged murders and assassina tions, to the number of thirty-two, with ‘pames, dates and circumstances, commencing 4n 1847 and coming down to 1857. It is a fear- ful catalogue of individual and wholesale mas- acres, and includes several hundreds of ‘victims. Some of these, it is affirmed, fell under his own hands, but most under or- ders given in paroxysms of drunken or ungov- ‘ernable fury. Of course, with one to whom murder would seem to be so familiar, arsons and conflagrations of towns and villages to the number of eight could only be a pastime; nor, fer reading the details of these, would any one be eurprised to find twenty odd robberies lending their aid to fill up the outlines of the delectable character already so boldly sketched by our tropical pamphleteer. But if anything ‘were lacking in this respect, we might find it at our hands under the subordinate headings of “Mfutinies,” “Rapes and Other Outrages,” which, we are told, are innumerable, but of which we have, nevertheless, a very formida- ble catalogue. it could hardly have been intended, but our pamphleteer winds up his indictment with a count which we submit is rather in the nature of an anti-climax, and which, even if true, could hardly be expected to damage seriously the character of the unhappy General. Says the pamphlet:— He removed, without just cause, Don José Meza from the post of Collector in the port of Omoa, which that gentle: man had filled with the greatest credit, and, furthermore, applied to him the epithets of “awkward,” “‘proua”” and “stupid,” and all because he would not connive at the frands which were attempted on the public treasury. If General Guardiola should fail of his elec- tion, he will probably repent of this atrocity towarda Senor Meza; and if he should succeed, we cannot see how he will find it in his heart to decline reinstating that much injured gentle- man in the responsible post of Customs Collec- tor in Omoa. Let him apply this salve to Se- nor Meza’s wounds, and we will insure a cure for them all. Of course the virulence and extravagance of such assaults as these on public men must always fail of their object—certainly, in every country where a moderate degree of intelli- gence prevails. We know little or nothing of the character or career of General Guardiola, except that he got rather summarily beaten by General Waiker in Nicaragua, and was subse- quently elected President of Honduras, How far, locally, he may have mismamaged govern- ment, we have no means of knowing; but we ‘know that for four years he has preserved order in the Staie, and kept it out of those entangling alliances and combinations against the United States incited by Monsieur Belly and his coad- jutors, and which, at one time, before those air- bags burst, seemed likely to have at least a temporary success. And if he should be reelected, we shall not despair, notwithstanding the grievous nature of the offences charged against him, of finding the government of Honduras quite as well adminis- tered as that of most of the Spanish-American States, We are not apt to see ourselves as others see us, but we may discover without much effort a very striking resemblance between the Central and Anglo-American mode of carrying ona political contest. It certainly is not one that looks well at a distance, and hardly meets weneral character of all that is vile, but catalogue our approval when practised by foreigners. Yet there is slight difference between the elec- tioneering assaults which were made in New York on Mayor Wood and those which ape making in Central America on General Guar- didla. Both must be viewed in very much the eame light. Courvrsory Vortvc.—A petition is present- ed to the State Legislature to compel citizens of this State to vote. Nothing can be more absurd. As well might a law be introduced to compel men to eat their dinner @very day at twelve o'clock.

Some of our contemporaries encourage the idea, and suggest that election | days should be made holidays. This would not compel any one to vote who did not want to vote, and the man who desires to go to the ballot box can always find time from sunset to sunrise. To compel men to vote would be im- practicable, for no machinery could be devised that would accomplish it. ‘To vote is a man’s privilege—a right which the constitution confors upon him, to be exercised athis own discretion. Perhaps he may not approve of any of the candidates set up for office. Would it not be tyranny to force him to vote for one of them? Better to let well enough alone. Forvey, WEED AND THE SreakeRsuIP AGAIN.— The great problems of the day—who shall be Speaker? and how shall the House be organ- ized?—are creating the most extraordinary in- terest all over the country. In the metropolis the Speakership is almost the only vital ques- tion, and it has even stirred up Wall street toa high pitch of excitement. We hear of project- ed indignation meetings in Mr. Horace F. Clark’s district, and various other demonstra- tions on the black republican side, against the anti-Lecompton men who decline to vote for Mr. Sherman. Still the House is no nearer to organization than it wasa month ago. Now, in view of this desperate state of things, we have brought forward a competent remedy, and a practical solution of the whole difficulty through the adoption of the programme laid down by the Chevalier Forney in the celebrat- ed Forrest divorce case—a programme founded upon such an accurate and thorough knowledge of Human nature, with all its frailties and its weaknesses, that it could not fail to work well in political affairs, especially as they are ma- naged in Washington. Our readers will remember that, in the be- nevolence of our heart, we went so fur yester- day as to suggest to the Chevalier Forney the draft of a letter upon the celebrated Forrest- Jamison model. In our draft, the Nestor of the lobby, Thurlow Weed, was appealed to by the Chevalier Forney to come up to the re- lief of Sherman, who is surrounded by the anti-Lecompton Philistines. As Mr. Thur- low Weed is, without doubt, very busy at Albany gelting the Legislature into work- ing order, and, therefore, may not be able to find time to answer the Chevalier Forney’s let- ter by return mail, we have extended our kind offices to the former, and present a draft of what we consider should be THURLOW WEED'S REPLY TO THE CHEVALIER FORNEY.

I have had almost as much trouble in arranging this matter as I did the statistics of that free wool for which I laid out $7,500 of that Boston concern’s age bt And we must have this printing job, to distribute proceeds among half a dozen hungry republican journals, the editors of which have been hard at work upon our statistics.

I have hitched up this team, tandem, to pull our friend Sherman into the SpeakePs chair; but, although the lash has been well Yaid on, they can do nothing unless the anti-Lecompton fellows give us a push behind.

Let him threaten them with the blighting indignation of Weed, and picture before their affrighted optics the spectacle of being trampled to death by Morgan politicians. If that don’t organise the House, let Weed go in person, and bring the runaway white niggers square up to the bullring. \ Extensive Fraups sy Ovstom House Orri- craLs.—Numerous well sustained affidavits have been placed in our hands with regard to the conduct of immediate, confidential subordi- nates of certain federal officers, which develope an unparalleled degree of corruption in the examination of passengers and their effects. The signers of these papers testify to robbe- ries of their property, upon their persons, and to purloining of their goods in the public store, to the amount of many thousands of dollars. Valuable diamonds, emeralds, pearls and other jewelry; watches, laces, shawls, con- fectionery, &c.,, have been ruthlessly torn away from their owners; and even after their restoration has been ordered, valuable articles have been found missing, and the invoices mu- tilated in order to make the goods correspond. Some of the details in these affidavits are re- volting in the highest degree.

But the government ought to be concernéd in the thefts, peculattons, abstrac- tions, and, we regret to be compelled to add, indecencies, which the affidavits enumerate. The Founders and the Philosephy of Empires—Causes of the Change in Popa- lar Politics, The debates in the Senate have recently turned upon the different views taken of slavery and social class relations now and in the earlier years of the republic; and Mr. Mason, the Senator from Virginia, frankly confessed that the opinion of that State is different from the opinion entertained by our earlier statesmen. They held to the belief that slavery was a con- dition more to be deplored than fostered, while the lapse of time has shown that it is a strong and living form of society, and a blessing to both races, where they inhabit in common. Tt is well known that the founders of our empire sympathized largely with the philoso- phic element that grew up in France under the reign of Louis XV., and that both drew from the political fountains opened in the preceding century by the English Revolution. In revo- lutionized France philosophy soon ran into Jacobinism, and the connections between the two countries, formed during our own Revolu- tion, led to much sympathy between the leading actors of the two great life dramas. In political action our own took precedence of time of the French popular leaders, and as they were practical men they tramed a practi- cal political constitution upon the forms which we already posseesed as colonies. But their writings are interspersed with views of social philosophy much more in accordance than their practice with the theories that prevailed in France during the close of the last century, and which, in the practical construction of em- pire, they held in abeyance to the necessity of harmonizing great material interests. In France the reaction against Jacobinism ran wild, brought the empire, and political and social philosophy was driven back to dwell amid a few abstractions. Pondering con- stantly on these, French philosophy has ad- vanced to the most absurd developement of social theories and imaginary plans of politi- cal organization, based upon the idea of human perfectibility. On the other hand, we have fol- lowed the path of untrammelled develope- ment, and practice has not only outgrown theory, but has demonstrated how untenable are mapy of those held by the statesmen of former days. Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Monroe, Madison, Jay, and many, if not all, of their fellow workers believed that the institution of negro slavery was a decaying institution, that would soon disappear from the land. They felt its exist- ence as a great material interest, which should not be disturbed by present political action; but they believed that it would, from causes inherent within itself, decay and disappear. So impressed were the men ef Virginia with these ideas, that in 1788, when the Northwest Terri- tory was ceded by that State to the Union, they feared that the fertile bottom lands’of the Ohio, if opened to slave emigration, would add another element of decay to the institution in Virginia, and by too rapidly drawing off the slaves, before a compen:ating element could grow up, diminish the value of land and pro- perty in the Old Dominion. It was, therefore, stipulated in setting off the great Northwest, that no slave States should be made north of the Ohio river. The growth of time and the developement of material interest have produced a change in this, as well as in many other of the prevailing opinions ‘n the popular mind. While the great interest of New England was navigation, the people there were all believers in free trade. Daniel Webster's earlicf speeches are all in favor of that policy. When they became manu- facturing States they clamored for pro- tection. Now that they are becoming largely commercial, they are free tra- ders again. So, too, the Middle States were for a long time convinced of the necessi- ty of a national bank; but their,interests having far outgrown the capacities of one institution, the idea of a national bank is an obsolete one. A similar result has attended the growth of the South. The institution of slavery, instead of decaying, has advanced with gigantic strides. In numbers it has increased from 700,000 to 4,500,000, while in the value of its contribu- tions to the supply of the necessities of the civilized world, it far surpasses the contribu- tions of any similar number of population on the face of the globe. It is this practical developement, this unan- ticipated and prodigious vitality and growth, that has produced the great change in the Southern sentiment in regard to slavery, and which is now working even greater changes in the opinions held by other communities re- garding it. Had the founders of our empire lived to witness the present state of things, the same cause would have worked s change in their philosophic views. They were practical men. They knew, and acknowledged in every act, that permanent government cannot be founded on principles which actively violate the great existing interests of men. They acted continually on the conviction that political and social forms must be moulded and adapted to living interests of the community, and hence the constitution guaranteed protection to the slave institutions of all the States. Under these impulses they formed the constitution in accordance with the practical necessities of the country at that time, and not in accordance which the philosophic theories which they en- tertained. The same motives would guide them were they alive to-day, and they should guide us in continuing the construction of the great empire they founded. Political theories must adapt themselves to the interests of the community, for these can never be successfully shaped and moulded by forms of government. If the attempt is made, the growth, if there is growth at all, will be cramped and unnatural. Tum Frankino Privizecr.—We perceive that a bill has been introduced imto the United States Senate to abolish the franking privilege. This is all right, but it does not go far enough.

A Sovruzrw Dovonrace.—The black repub- lican journals at the North made a great fuss about the publication of anti-slavery speeches and documents in the Herap, and endeavored to prevent us from circulating such publications as the speeches of Phillips, Cheever and Beecher, and the letters of Wright; but they could not succeed, for we know how to transact our own business too well. These journals were afraid that the exposure of such atrocious sentiments would cut the platform from under their feet when they saw the uprising of the con- servative element which their publication cre- ated; but we are determined to let the South and the North, and the whole world, know the conspiracies which are concocted by these fanatics against the peace of i e Union. If it were not for the Heratp tc -outh would not have known anything a!:out Helper’s book until it was too late; and if we did not publish the harangues and doings of the abolitionists, the South would never know what intrigues and conspiracies were going on at the North against ite interests and safety. Had not John Brown kept his scheme secret, we would have published that too, and thus saved the country from the disaster and disgrace of the Harper’s Ferry raid. Only for the Heratn’s publication of these things people at the South might ac- cept the assurance of Northern Senators that there was no sympathy for John Brown at the North; but the Hxrarp has laid before them the evidence that such is not the fact. We are not surprised that republican journals should object to our ventilating their plans and schemes; but we confess it is strange to see a Southern paper like the Richmond Dispatch en- dorsing the views of the New York Times, Tri- bune and other anti-slavery journals as to the impropriety of publishing the proceedings and speeches and conspiracies of the Northern agi- tators, which may serve as a wholesome warn- ing to the South, from which itmay be prepared to protect itself against,its enemies. We can find no better epithet for this Richmond paper, which sustains the narrow opinions of North- ern abolition journals, than a Southern dough- face. Brooklyn City News.
