We have heen recommending to the two fac- tions into which the democratic party has been divided the policy in this campuiga of assist- ing each other, instead of devouring each other. We have been urging upon them the practical withdrawal of Mr. Douglas as a candidate in the Southern States, in exchange for the withdrawal of Mr. Breckinridge as a candidate in the Northern States. In support of this plan of operations, we are happy to recogaise, North and South, the signs of a powerful movement, and that foremost among its advocates stands the President of the United States. In his speech delivered at the White House, the other evening, to a Breckinridge serenad- | ing party, and in favor of their ticket.

Here the views and the policy of Mr. Bucha- nan are very clearly and broadly laid down. “Every democrat is at perfect liberty to vote as he thinks proper.” Mr. Buchanan, reprdiating the doctrine of Territorial popular sovereigaty, prefers Mr. Breckinridge to Mr. Douglas; but he does this “without attempting to interfere with any individual democrat, or any State de- mocratic organization holding different opt nions.” He thns fully and freely, in advance. consents to, and approves of, this proposed policy of giving Mr. Douglas an unobstructed run in the Northern States, as a democratic equivalent for a free course to Mr. Breckinridge in the Southern States. Every inducement is offered the two factions to agree to this plan of operations, while every consideration of common sense is opposed to that mutually de- structive tomfoolery of two clashing democratic electoral tickets in any State. In this connection the Richmond Enquire hits upon the President's views, and, in a calm and sensible article upon the subject. proposes to accomplish the defeat of Lincola by permit- ting the majority of the democratic party in this State, that State and the other, to control the minority in the matter of a common electoral ticket. Thus, says our Richmond cotemporary, “in the Northern States, where Douglas has the majority, we would propose that Douglas elec- toral tickets only be run, provided that in every Southern State only Breckinridge tickets be run.” AY fair offer. We entirely concur, too, in the opinion that, while under this democratic programme Lincoln can be defeated, nothing else than his election can follow the foolish ex- | periment, for example, of two democratic elec. toral tickets in the State of New York. } | or platform make up exactly what was wanted by | the Southern democracy, and as Mr, Douglas and | his platform meet all the demands of the North- | ern democracy, the pair of them, each ope } rating most advantageously in his own sec | tion, may poll a much larger popular and electoral vete than either could pos- | sibly muster asthe candidate of the | whole party upon any platform. Thus, this very division of the party, if properly managed, may result in a victory which otherwise would have been lost. Mr. Buchanan indicates the way to this victo- ty. The New York democracy and the Vir- ginia democracy are moving in the right direc- tion. A State Convention on the subject is to be held in Virginia on the 16thof Angust. Let the party in other States follow this example, and doubtless, in due season, we shall have the two factions of the democracy fighting under the best possible programme of co-operation for a crushing defeat of “Old Abe Linooin™ and the election of another democratic Presi dent. On the other hand, as Mr. Breckinridge and his | A Souventr of the Japancse Embassy— A Princely Gift to the Potice, We publish in another part of our impres- ston of to-day some exceedingly interesting Correspondence apropos to the recent visit of the Japanese Envoys to the United States. The carrespon@cace opens with a letter from Cap- tain Dupont, the chief of the Naval Commis- sioners appointed by the President to take charge of the Envoys, to Mr. Belmont, the agent of the Rothschilds. Captain Dupont sends to Mr. Belmont the sum of twenty thousand dol- lars, which amount the Princes desire shall be presented to the police of the cities which thoy visited, as “an acknowledgment of the efficiency of the police in contributing to their comfort.” It seems that at first the money was tendered to Captain Dupont for distribution; but he declin- ed to accept it, on the ground that it was the in- tention of our government that the Envoys should not be put to any expense here, The Princes got over the difficulty cleverly by re- questing Captain Dupont, as a personal favor, to ask Mr. Belmont, an unofficial personage. but “the son-in-law of Commodore Perry,” to make the distribution. The Captain could no longer refuse, and Mr. Belmont was only too happy to second the wishes of the Envoys. The following table shows the amounts to be gives to the police of the several cities:— Daya. Ben. — Amowits a 166 $2,656 450 890 Tu 3 1,596 see e ene aneeseeeeateronesl $20,000 We commend the correspondence and all the circumstances connected with this truly impe- rial gift to the attention of our readers. The whole afuir, in its inception, detail and manage- ment, proves that the Envoys of the Tycoon are in fact as well asin name. In Europe tomary wih high dignitaries, when travelling in foreign parts, to give money for charitable institutions, to hospitals, &. But the Japanese Pringes, while here, saw the police daily, and viewed them as smong the most use- itutions, The gift has the double merit of being, first, a courteous acknowledg- ment for services rendered, and second, as a charitable donation—the money going into the fund for the relief of the widows and orphans of policemen who die in the service. It will be seen that the New York police have the Hion’s share of the princely gift. This fact is a strictly mathematical one, bu: at the same time it is a silent recognition of tae superiority of our police. In Washington the police did little or nothing, except to guard the treaty box. Io Baltimore there was hardly any op- portunity for the display of the force. Ia Phi- ladelphia the police were utterly incompetent. They permitted the mob to insult the Princes, to press upon their carriages, and to annoy them with vulgar gestures and ritald remarks. The street crowd at Uhiladelpbia behaved ia the most disgraceful manner, and the police could or would do nothing with them. In New York the police behaved splendidly— on the day of the reception, that of the visit to the City Hall, and generally in maintaining or- der in aud about the Metropolitan Hotel. The task waa a dificult and delicate one; but it was admirably performed. The only faux pas during the whole etay of the Embassy in the metropolis waa on the night of the ball, which was in the bands of the Aldermen and Councilmen, who brought their congenial uss0- ciates upon the floor, and allowed the natural, vulgar Aldermanic instincts to have full swing, thus making the place a scene of de- bauchery and license rather than of innocent recreation. Throughout the whole of the Japa- nese visit the New York police behavel in the most gentiemanly way, and we are very glad to be able to announce to them that the Ambassadors kept their eyes open while here, that they recognized the efficiency and polite- ness of the force, and have given the right royal proof of such recognition. Poll, 6.5 i504 Tur Prestoest or tax Usirep Srares ayn mux Quenn or Exorasp—A Fasuty Corres ponwence.—The correspondence which took piace between Mr. Buchanan and Queen Vic- toria relative to the visit of the Prince of Wales, and which was published in the Hirain yesterday, is a novelty in its way for simplici- ty, good sense, and the entire absence of all that ceremonious diction and fulsome verbiage which ordinarily pertain to the communications of the rulers of great empires. It is, in fact, a pleasant, friendly correspondence between people who felt themselves members of one family, and shows how strongly, after all, the democratic sentiment of this republie pervades even the courtly circles of the mother country, up td the very throne itself. Mr. Buchanan extends to the Queena kiadly invitation to her son to the hospitalities of his home at Washington, in a homely and gooi na- tured fashion, catirely devoid of useless verbi- age, or the complimentary langtage of courts just as a republican President ought to do; and the Queen, responding in a like spirit, addresses him as “my good friend ,” winding up her brief antograph letter with the words, “The Prince Consort wishes to be kindly remembered to you. I remain ever your good friend, Victoria R.,” the last letter alone indicating that the communication was indited by royal fingers. It is quite a domestic correspondence throughout, and will do much to obtain for the young Prince that friendly, unceremoaious, but respectful, reception bere which he is manifest. ly entitled to, and which bis mother evidently expects st our hands, It is @ matter of great congratulation, meantime, that the arrange- ments for his visit to New York preclude the pos- sibility of his falling into the hands of the Alder- men. ‘ Piavine Ore Doveras avo Bene xcvare: Acarsst Excu Ornen.—It is somewhat amusing to observe that while the Richmond i hig, the leading organ of Bell and Everett ia Virginia, is zealously urging the claims of Mr. Douglas upon the Southern democracy, the New York Tribune is as actively recommending the claims of Mr. Breckinridge upon the Northern demo cracy. Of course the object of the Ihiy is to make an opening through the broken ranks of the Southern democracy, through which Mr. Bell and his party may come off the victors; while the object of the Tribune ix to use Beeckinridge to break the aanointed head of the Northern democracy, eo that “Old Abe” may walk over the course, We apprehend, however, that the democrats will hardly consent thus to be killed outright by al- lowing their heade to be knocked together, North or South. Mr. Buchanan has been giving them some hints which will probably recall them te thete-senses, Let us wait alittle. The State of New Vork—The Alarm Spreading in the Republican Camp. Last week the rejoicings of the republicans over the divisions of the democracy, and in view of the certain success of the great Illinois rail splitter, were strangely disturbed by dismal groan or two from the venerable Thurlow Weed over the dangerous confidence and lethargy in his party camp. Now we per- ceive that the alarm sounded by the famous Albany compiler of “statistics” on free wool has been taken up by the Hon. Massa Greeley, who appears to be as much perplexed with the vote of New York in November next as ever he was with that troublesome thousand dollar Des Moines improvement lobby draft from Or- simus Benajah Matteson. Thus the unseasy philosopher of the Tribune admonishes his party that this great State is not to be carried without a struggle—that the ele- ments of a formidable hostile combination exist- that skilful managers are hard at work to bring these elements together, and that there is reson to anticipate before November the formstion “ofa hybrid, tesselated, three-legged , anti republican ticket, on which all the strepgth of the hostile factions will be concentrated.” Ac- cordingly ow alarmed philosopher, with the earnestness of a good night watchman, strikes the pavement with his baton to wake up bis sleeping colleague to meet this formida- bie hybrid conspiracy by which they are sur- rounded. He lustily cries out that “this state of blind security, of heedless trust in luck, be not allowed to continue another week. Admit that it could not hazard the electoral vote, its inevi- table effect must be to saddle the next adminis- tration (Old Abe's) with a Congress hostile to its principles, jealous of its popularity, and de- termined to cripple and baffle its every effort.”’ What next! An early State Convention is de- manded, a powerful republican electoral ticket, and an earnest proclamation that “the republi- can party is sternly opposed to the jobbery and bribery which have disgraced the recent legis- lative history of our State.” Here we have a republican weakness—an ankle bone out of joint, if you please—or a sore spot in the ribs of Thurlow Weed, which brings him face to face with the incorruptible Greeley. Here honest men of all parties have a common ground of action against Weed’s republican lobby, in a matter which loudly calis upon the people for re- form. Taking up the thing with the whole sche- due of drawbacks against the republican cause in the Empire State, we do not wonder that the calculating Greeley, as well as the statistical Weed, should be somewhat frightened. First, upon an impartial estimate of the whole popular vote of this State, made up from the returns of all our State elections since 1856, wiih the Presidential vote of that year as the basis of our calculations, we find the republican party, so late as last November, ina popular minority of some 40,000. Since that election we contend that the party has been losing instead of gaining ground. The nomination of Douglas for the Presidency has, at a single dash, carried away the anti-Lecomp- ton democratic element from the republican camp, which is the loss of that balance of power whereby a republican Speaker was elected at the late eession of Congress. But Douglas will also carry off a host of original Van Buren democrats who voted for Fremont. In the next place, Mr. Seward’s faithful adhe- rents by thousands, who have been waiting for five, ten, fifteen or twenty years for his nomination for the Presidency, will be found wanting on election day, because their favorite was betrayed and sacrificed for a mere rail splitter at Chicago, Nor is this all. Gerrit Smith is the Presi- dential favorite of the abolitionists, pure and simple. They repudiate Lincoln as an artful dodger, and they may possibly shorten his New York vote in November to the extent of twenty-five or thirty thousand. Add to all these drawbacks the shameless and unparal- leled party jobs of bribery and lobby com- pounding referred to by the Tribune for the benefit of Thurlow Weed, and we have mate- rials enough upon which to muster a decisive majority against Lincoln in November, This majority already exists; but to render it de- cisive, it must be brought to bear upon a joint stock anti-republican electoral ticket. In this way the Presidential election may still be turned against the republican party. Shall it be done? We are glad to hear from the vigilant Greeley that “skilful managers are hard at work to form such a coalition,” and that we may confidently expect in due season “a hybrid, tesselated, three-legged anti-republican ticket, on which all the strength of the hostile factions will be concentrated,” Douglas men, Breckioridge men, Bell men, Houston men, and all. Tue Mayor axp THe Croroy Boanp.—Some of our republican cotemporaries are making a great fuss about the removal, by Mayor Wood, of the Engineer aid Assistant Commissioner of the Croton Board, and renewing, in the old fash- ion, their attacks upon “his Excellency” the Mayor, as Lord John Russell recently styled him. The Board of Aldermen have postponed any action upon the matter until this evening, and the Mayor has not nominated any persons to fill the places of the officials removed for alleged disagreements and insubordination. If the Aldermen do not see fit to act upon the mersage of “ his Excellency” the Mayor, there may be some developements made of a startling character with reference to the Croton Aque- duet Department. Mayor Wood may find it necessary to indite a document showing the ex- istence of several gross errors and serious mis- manegement in the Croton Beard. If the Mayor would pursue the same course in relation to every other public department ia which frauds and mismanagement exist'as he has done in this case, he would be supported by the whole people, without any reference to party. Tue Hangine ts rue Bay.—According to the usual custom, Elias Hicks, the pirate, will be hanged in public this day at noon, on Bedloe’s Island. We could have wished that the execu- tion had been more private. It has been along time since the sun bas looked down upon such a scene in New York Bay as this day will wit ness. Already we perceive indications of what the day will bring forth. Steamboats are adver tived to take people to the island, as if it weve a pleastire excursion, One announcement is head- ed “Ho! for the Execution” —an instance of vulgar heartleesness truly revolting. Tt will not be possible, of course, to prevent a gather ing of the scum of the community near the island where Hicks will pay the just penalty of the law, and it is not unlikely that the publicity of the execution will detract. from ite value ag a &n example to evil doers ; but we trust, for the credit of the city, that no decent person will visit the island to-day, unless reqnired to do so in the line of his duty. “His Excrisescy tux Mayox.”—One of the Tribune philosophers, more learned than the rest, has worked himself into a dangerous state of mind over the fact that the Mayor of New York is alluded to in the correspondence be- tween Lord John Russell and Mr. Dallas as “his Excellency,” when the proper title is “his Honor.” This is declared to be an unwarranta- ble interference with the prerogative of the Go- vernor and the President. The Tribune man has made a double blunder. The term “excel- lence” is freely used in diplomatic corres- pondence when official personages are alluded to; by the action of the Common Council authorizing the Mayor to invite the Prince to the metropolis, without regard to the action of the State Department of the general govern- ment, placed Mr. Wood in a higher position than that of a mere municipal officer. He assumed, for the time being, diplomatic func- tions, and was addressed in the usual manner, which originated with the French. Of itself, the term “excellency” means very little in Eu- rope. On the Continent it is applied to official personages from foreign parts of any grade. To go further, we have no doubt that Mon, Mas- sa Greeley himself has been addressed in Germa- ny as “Your Excellency,” and his friend Seward was invariably so accosted beyond peradven- ture. With reference to the President's and Governor’s prerogative the Tribune talks bosh. No official of the federal government bas a title of any kind; the proper titular designa- tion of the President is simply the President; and so with the heads of departments. The application of the term Excellency is a matter of courtesy, and does not do any harm or good. In the States, except one or two in New Eng- land, where some of the old colonial forms, “when we lived under the King,” are retained, all titular prefixes are dropped. As a rule, our officials are not particularly distinguished for grace or dignity, and the application of titles to them is absurd. The Mayor of New York, whatever else may be said about him, is a well mannered man, admixing the fortifer ix ve with the svaviter in modo very judiciously; and if anybody can stand being called his Excellency, he is the man. Governor Banks, of Massachu- setts, who carries the title by right, also wears it well. Greeley, we fear, would find it a little too heavy at first; but if we could only put him in as Governor for a couple of years, he would soon get used to it,and might, with our aid and counsel, wear it as jauntily as he does the “old white coat.” Progress or tax Cexsvs.—We learn from Washington that the eighth census is likely to be completed at an earlier period than on pre- vious occasions—the work being pressed on with great activity in all parts of the country. ‘We hope that the census marshals will be af- forded every facility in obtaining the necessary information, in order that we may not only have the census laid before the public in good time, but that it may be complete in all its parts. The progress of the country for the last ten years presents an interesting problem and most important feature in the world’s history, and it is most desirable that it should be faithfully re- corded.
