They eay that the corn crop bas been measprably destroyed, and that in many rich cotton districts it was estimated that the yield would fall one-third sport of what it was last year, While the crop of 1859 is estimated at over 4,600,000, estimates in the letters referred to reduce the yield of the present grow- ing crop to 3,700,000 bales, while others more sanguine stop at 4,000,000. The receipts at the seaports since the Ist ef September Inst have reached 4,448,000 bales, agrinst 2,680,000 in 1850, and 3,061,000 in 1853, The ex- Ports have reached 8,718,000 bales, against 2,925,000 in 1859, and 2,583,000 in 1858, ‘The stock on hand embraces 170,000 bales, against 140,000 at the same time in 1859, nnd 118,000 in 1858.

The Crisis—The Position of the South— The Way to Defeat Lincoln, The disruption of the democratic party has thrown the political elements of the South into a state of confusion from which it is difficult now to estimate the relative strength of the several parties in the field in that section. While the supporters of Bell and Everett would have us believe that they will certainly slip in between Douglas and Breckinridge, and carry off at least half a dozen Southern States; and while the Southern supporters of Douglas pro- fess some confidence in their ability to run the election into Congress, so as to leave out Breckinridge and Lane, the Breckinridge party, which is much the strongest in the South, is evidently becoming stronger every day.

The Great Eastern returned to her anchorage here yesterday morning, bringing, in addition to those she took away, many who came from Cape May. Great dissatisfaction appears to have been expressed, owing to the inefficiency of the arrange- ments for eating and sleeping. Ladies were com- pelled to sleep on deck, drinking and washing water was bought at all prices, and the occasion gene- rally seems, in a pleasurable sense, to have been a failure, Several rich scenes occurred on board Guring the first night out, which, together with other interesting matter, will be found fully re- ported elsewhere. . The Prince of Wales continues the great object of interest among the people of his mother’s Ame- rican dominions. Yesterday, at Halifax, the grand regatta in honor of his visit took place, and passed off in a very satisfactory manner. In the evening there was a display of fireworks. The Prince Jeayea Halifax to-day for Windsor, whence he will proceed to New Brunswick. August was ushered in yesterday with a degree of cold very unusual at this season, but not the less agreeable on that account. The weather wasa delicious compromise between the torrid and frigid—just the kind that gives satisfaction to every- body. The following table will exhibit the degrees of heat in the shade, as marked by the ther- mometer in the Henaxp office, during the last two — August 1 76 dogs. me 5 3 P, a1 P.M. 80 An important meeting of the American Engi- neers’ Association was held last evening to discuss the tate boiler explosion on the steamtug J. C. Min- turn, by which one man was killed. The Committee of Investigation reported that the boiler was one that had been rejected as of no further use by a propel- ler, on which it was employed before being placed in the steamtug, and exhibited a specimen of the metal of the boiler—a piece of rust-eaten iron about one-fourth of an inch in thickness. The in- spectors, on motion, were censured for neglecting to condemn the boiler. The Board of Councilmen met last evening, when a large number of reports were disposed of. The bill of John H. Steel, amounting to $359 46, for rebinding and repairing books in the Street Com- missioner’s office during the year 1855, was referred to the Committee on Finance. The Comptroller's communication, asking for an additional appropria- tion for the year 1860, including the sum of $105,000 for the Japanese entertainment, will be discussed at the next meeting of the Board. The Comptrol- ler's weekly report was presented, and shows the following: —Balance in Treasury July 26, $670,303 57; receipts from all sources to July 31, $131,736 28; total amount, $802,039 85. Disbursements, $297,- 145 61. Balance in hand, $504,894 04. The Commissioners of Emigration met yesterday afternoon, but transacted no business of import- ance. The President stated that forty-two cases ef ship fever had been seat to Ward's Island dur- ing the week, chiefly cases from the ship Cynosure, from Liverpool, and that one death had occurred at Castle Garden, The weekly statement showed that the arrival of emigrants for the week amount- ed to 1,396—total number from Ist of January, 60,559; being an increase of 13,575 over that of last year op to the same date. Balance of commuta- tion fund, 619,281 76. The Board of Education met at their rooms in Grand street at five o'clock P. M. yesterday, there being no quorum present. After calling the roll they adjourned, without transacting any business, until their next regular meeting on the first Wednesday in September. The Coroner's investigation yesterday in the case of Gastarina, the Spaniard who was found dead in an alley way in Baxter street about a year ago, was concluded without any evidence of vio- lence being found on the person of deceased. Bavendam, the person who has been under arrest for some days past on suspicion of having caused the death of the Spaniard, will probably be dis- charged to-day. e The investigation before Coroner Jackman, in the case of John Spriging, who was fatally stabbed at Jones’ Wood on Monday evening, was con- cluded yesterday. The jury returned a verdict that death was caused by a wound inflicted with a knife by William Sheehan; but they considered that it was not done with any malicious intent, Spriging and Sheehan being ‘‘skylarking” at the time. Shee- han, however, was held to await the action 8f the Grand Jory. The steamships Africa and Tentonia sailed from this port yesterday, the former for Liverpool and the tatter for Southampton and Hamburg. The Africa took out fitty passengers and $423,012 in specie; the Teutonia carried 118 passengers, but no specie. Consequent upon continued heavy receipts of beef cattle, the market was much depressed, and Prices declined half a cent on the average, though the range was much the same as last week. The average price could not have exceeded 7c. per pound. The balk of the offerings were inferior to ordinary; prices ranged from 6c. to 9¢. Milch cows are quiet and unchanged. Veals are in de- mand, at from 34e. to 6c. a 6je. per pound. Sheep and lambs are also in good request, and, thongh very plenty, command full prices, varying from * 50 to $5 8 $660 per head. Swine were also Plenty, but active at fall prices. The total receipts G@iclading 763 beef cattle at Bergen Hil) were 21 o’siock, A. M a ms Presidential election, the South will be a unit in support of the Breckinridge ticket. This concentration upon Breckinridge will be aSouthern but not a disunion movement. It will be a conservative effort to supersede that disunion alternative which will inevitably follow the occupation of the federal govern- ment by the anti-slavery coalition of the North. At present, except from the parties opposed to Breckinridge in the South, we hear very lit- tle of any disunion agitation in that section. These parties, however, are industriously venti- lating the secession speeches, propositions, cor- respondence, conventions and resolutions for which the Southern democracy have been so distinguished for the last three or four years, down to the explosion of the Charleston Con- vention; and all these disunion souvenirs are thus being reproduced in order to weaken the Breckinridge ticket among the conservative de- mocracy of the North. The Northern democracy should not be led astray by these devices. The only danger to the Union which we have to fear will be the danger which will follow Lincoln’s election. The defeat of Lincoln, whether by the Electoral Colleges or by Congress, will be equivalent to a new leage of security to the Union. And he may be defeated. But how! Not by running two contesting democratic electoral tickets in this State, that State or the other, but by the union of the party upon a single electoral ticket in every State, and for their strongest candi- dates. And who are their strongest candi- dates. They are Breckinridge and Lane. The Breckinridge ticket, we have said, will, in all probability, command the suffrages of all the Southern States. We think 80, because, in view of the future, the necessity for the present, more pressing than in 1856, of the unity of the South, will make the South a unit. The people of that section will discover that, so far as they are immediately concerned, Mr. Douglas is in the way, and that Mr. Bell can do nothing. We suspect, too, that all such Southern coalitions as that lately entered into in Georgia, in the adoption of a mixed Belland Douglas party electoral ticket, will operate to strengthen Breckinridge with recruits from both those par- ties. The slavery question, paramount in the North, is the vital issue in the South; and upon this issue of life or death the position of Breck- inridge, being clear, simple and unmixed with doubts or equivocations, will command the support of the Southern States. In Pennsylvania and New Jersey, under the guidance of the Breckinridge wing, the demo- cracy are in a fair way to an organization which may carry both these States. The masses of the party of both wings in New York would readily coalesce if the Marplots of the Albany Regency were out of the way. It was the Albany Regency that interposed the Van Buren movement of 1848, by which Gen. Cass and the democratic party in that campaign were defeated. The same game of rule or ruin is again resorted to by this desperate Albany cabal of huckstering spoilsmen. They should be repudiated and kicked out, and the party should proceed to reorganize, not for the pur- pose of proving the strength or weakness of Douglas or Breckinridgafbut for the purpose of defeating Lincoln. A spirited movement of this character is all that is needed to defeat Lincoln and elect Breck- inridge and Lane by the people ; for the union of the New York democracy with their natural allies, the old line whigs, would react most fu- vorably upon New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Thus these three States may yet be turned against Lincoln, and upon that single issue, that while bis election will inevitably inaugurate a practical and revolutionary disunion movement in the South, his defeat will be a decisive step to the annihilation of this aggressive and dan- gerous anti-slavery republican party. LAWLESSNPss aNd Broonsuen my Dever Crry.—Affairs are looking badly in the vicinity of the Pike's Peak gold regions. Rowdyism and violence appear to be growing apace there, and the condition of Denver City is rapidly ap- proximating to that of San Francisco in the darkest days of the Vigilance Committee. Seve- ral shooting affrays have recently occurred in Denver—some of them resulting fatally—and to such an extent have lawlessness and blood- shed been manifested, that the citizens have found it necessary to form a Vigilance Commit- tee for defence against the murderers and thieves who infest the community. It unfortunately happens that the gold re- gions attract a number of the worst characters in the country, ns well ne the enterprising and of law, the gross let or hind Or the evils which this clai bn the commu- nity is a Vigilance Committee.

Brough: Sneer and Dallas’ Silence— Eng and the United States as Rulers of Inferior Races. The conduct of Mr. Dallas, the Minister of the United States in England, in not resenting the insulting sneer addressed to him, in his ca- pacity as the representative of his country and its institutions, by Lord Brougham, at the meet- ing of the Statistical Congress of all nations, is deserving of the severest reprobation at the hands of the American people and the Ameri- can government. It was not alone the words, the speaker and his tone and manner that demanded an instant rebuke and reply from the American Minister, but the occasion .and the assembly rendered such a course on the part of Mr. Dallas one of imperious necessity. In a Congress presided over by the Prince Consort of England, and. where Ministers of the Crown, many of the highest personages of the realm, representatives from most of the civilized nations, and from all the widely scattered colonies of the British empire, were present, a deliberate sneer, emanating from ignorance and malice, and directed personally at himself, and through him at his country and its social and political institutions, called for instant refutation. He was either incompetent for, or false to, his trust; and it remains for the independent press of New York, in permanent Congress of intellect assembled, to fill the duty which Mr. Dallas has neglected. ve pass over the speaker and his malice. He belongs to that claas of people that for two generations have ruled the public opinion and the public policy of England, and who, quick to perceive the mote in their brother’s eye, and failing to perceive the beam that is in their own, have placed their pride in a self-satisfied ability to organize and govern inferior races, of whose capacity and instincts they know nothing, except through fallacious and imprac- ticable theories. It is the two kindred nations, sprung from the same stock, that stand ar- raigned before the assembled world; and by their works shall they be judged. They come not as mother and daughter, for their career as free and constitutionally governed nations dates, in fact, from about the same period of time. If either nation has precedence of age as a free people it is the United States. How- ever far back in history the germs of English liberty may be trated, they were nearly if not quite extinguished during the infamous reign of George the Third. While our fathers were struggling for their rights, and after securing independence—bringing their genius to the mighty task of laying the permanent founda- tions of freedom in our constitution and Union— the liberties of England were as though they had never existed. Fox, Burke and hosts of English freemen went down to their graves despairing of their country, while the younger Pitt deserted to the King, and the representa- tive places of the people were filled with cor- rupt war contractors and the paid mercenaries of the Court. It was our victory and our ex- ample that gave new life to the cause of popu- lar freedom in Great Britain, and really secured the establishment of the boasted liberties of England. Since that time the two nations have trodden rival paths of greatness. Beginning the present century with greatly disproportionate popula- tions—the one having eleven and the other three millions of people—wealth, trade and mechani- cal appliances, they stand, at the end of sixty years of intense application, side by side in the possession of all the material elements of na- tional greatness. In the moral elements a criti- cal examination would show that we far surpass Britain. With a government still fearing to educate and arm her people, England still stands on the verge of revolution; while our common school eystem, the activity and energy of our religious establishments, the intelligence, enterprise and versatility of our people; the vitality of our institutions, and the policy of our government, all defy intestine commotion, and challenge the admiration of the world. With this brief allusion to the material and moral results produced by the social and poli- tical theories and policies of the two nations, we come to the point in question—that on which Lord Brougham founded his ignorant and malicious sneer—the demonstrated capa- city of the two countries to organize and govern inferior races, In this field each has developed both theory and practice to their highest results, and by their fruits must they be judged. African slavery in this country we owe to English greed. The colonists protested again and again, without effect, before a corrupt Court and a greedy people, against the introduction here of negro slaves. Having them forced upon us, the question rose how best to govern them for the good of all. That question we have solved with the maintenance of the insti- tution of domestic servitude. Under that insti- tution the black race in America exhibits to-day & material, a moral and a religious progress such as the same race cannot exbibit in any other part of the world. Their immense in- crease in numbers proves beyond denial their physical well being. The absence of crime among them, the prosperity of their churches, their docility, faithfulness and love for their masters, and, above all, the peaceful confidence in each other which is presented by the great mass of the white and black races in our Southern States, prove the happy adaptability of our policy to the social wants and feelings of both. The material results of a soctety thus wisely constituted are felt in every pulsation of commerce and in every throb of industry in the civilized world. Let us now contemplate the contrast pre- sented by the results of England’s rule over inferior races, Guided by the false philan- thropy of Lord Brougham and his fellows. ruin has attended it everywhere. The once pros- perous British West India colonies are now gasping on the verge of social barbarism, and the argosies of commerce that once crowded their porte are seen no more, In India a still sadder picture fs presented. The starving ryote and plundered rajahs, after enduring years of oppression, were driven by despair into a rebellion that ehook the foundations of Hons 0} ding a powerful port to Britain's sway, one hundred and eighty millions of laborious Hindoos, guided by Eng- land's skill and ruled by her wisdom, cannot maintain social and political vitality without assistance from the imperial treasury and im- perial armies. Enthusiasts may proclaim visionary theories; fanatics may cite individual instances of hard- ship or cruelty, such aa all society presents, and self-sufficient philanthropists may assert the purity and holiness ef their motives; but all of these must be judged by the aggregate of good or evil, of misery or happiness, which they bring to mankind. It wae these aggregates which Mr. Dallas should have presented to the assemblage where he was insulted with phari- eaical.pride, that the world might judge of the value of the social and political theories of America and Europe, as best adapted for the government of inferior races: Whether it was incapacity or moral cowardice that caused him to sit and silently permit’ his country to be in-’ sulted in his person is of little comsequence. The fact shows his unfitness to be a representa- tive of the American people, and the govern- ment owes to itself and the country his imme- diate recall. x2 os a Progress of the Prince of Wales. As the Prince of Wales approaches nearer to the United States, in his progress through the British Colonies, his character shines out brighter and brighter, so that by the time he arrives among us all will be prepossessed in his favor. Already every one pronounces him a capital, whole-souled fellow. Unlike a haughty, supercilious, empty headed, unfledged lordling, looking down upon all men without titles as an inferior set of human beings, to take any notice of whom would be amazing condescension on his part, this young gentleman, who is every inch a prince, puts on no airs, but, on the contrary, makes every person feel happy and at home in his presence. He evinces his delight and gratitude at what is done to entertain and honor him, and he enters into the spirit of the proceedings with a gusto and an unaffected heartiness that captivate every spectator. He shows that he is not too much of a prince to be a man. He rides in the rain perfectly unconcerned; he is in raptures with the troops. He is fond of gayety and excitement, says our correspondent, and enjoys the scenes in which he mingles immensely. He talks and smiles with the officers near him, laughs heartily at the ludicrous games and scenes, and appears very much interested in the foot races. In the ball room he is good humored, courteous and affable to all. He is a capital waltzer anda ery entertaining partner. He rests his part- ner frequently, and fills up the interval with cheerful conversation and remarks upon the company. “It is amusing,” says a looker on, “to observe the eyes of the ladies in the room and gallery watching his every movement and gesture, and casting envious glances at his fortunate partners. I heard more than one whisper, ‘What a beautiful dancer!’ as he glided in the dance.” He must be very hand- some. Before, we heard of his brilliant hazel eyes; now we are told his “almost Roman nose” is equally fine. Halifax is one grand carnival, eo popular is the Prince; and as for the ladies, they are dying about him. Since the time of the Black Prince, who was the idol of the English people, none other has ever been half so popular as Albert Edward. He is a prince, therefore, of the good old school. ‘The Black Prince Edward, who, at the battle of Cressy, adopted from the brave King of Bo hemia the three ostrich feathers and the Ger- man motto, “Jch dien”—I serve—which ever since has been the motto of the Princes of Wales, was equally distinguished for his military en- thusiasm, his valor in the field, and his chival- rous gallantry to the fair. The present Prince is evidently a worthy successor of that historic name. He also recalls the memory of another Prince of Wales, “ Hal,” the “sweet wag,” who was the boon companion of jolly Falstaff, and whose sayings and doings are recorded by Shakspere. Hal, who was as natural_as if he were not born a prince, was a terrible fellow among the ladies; and by all accounts Albert. Edward is breaking their hearts by the score. And it is not to be wondered at, He is young and good looking, has good sense, makes good speeches, is good humored and good natured. a beautiful dancer, highly accomplished, and above all he is devoted to the sex. We hope his heart will not be caught be- fore he reaches the United States,and that he will reserve it for an American lady to conquer. Let grand balls be got up on a magnificent seale, so that there may be a good opportu- nity of liming this splendid bird. He will take great delight in a dance It was at @ ball in Baltimore that Prince Jerome Bo- naparte was captivated by Miss Patterson. There are thousands as beautiful and attractive as she in the country. And the heart of the Briton is just as susceptible of the tender pas sion as that of the Frenchman. Lot the ladies be arrayed in their most killing charms, and all try to see who will get the Prince. In every way he is worth a hundred lords. When they come to America they will not dance with the daughters of the people. But the son of a Queen, the heir to the throne of the great British empire, is ready to dance, and laugh, and joke, with every decent pretty gicl who comes in his wa: Tue ALDERMEN AND THE JAPANESE SyriNDLe.— The Aldermen seem determined to clutch that $105,000 ostensibly expended upon the Japa- nese; but we trust that they may be defeated yet if the Comptroller performs his duty in the matter as the public have a right to expect. The Aldermen passed an ordinance on Tuesday authorizing the appropriation, it is true; but Mr. Haws is not bound thereby to pay it until he is satisfied that the items of the bill are genuine and not extravagant, which we cer- tainly think he never can be, inasmuch as he is an intelligent and honest man. The Comptroller has exercised his preroga- tive on other occasions in curbing unnecessary squandering of the public money, and there never was a case of gross swindling so strong as this presented to him before. The public will be very much disappointed in Mr. Haws if he does not put his foot upon the neck of this impudent fraud. Some of the Aldermen were, as usual, very violent, vulgar and abusive tn the debate orer NRE CCC‘ ‘C‘éC~* MBE OF the violent epeechmakers. He thought Proper to assert that the reason why the press of the city, with one accord, exposed and op- posed this outrageous swindle, was because a reporter of some obscure paper did not get enough of champagne. The prospect of losing a share of the proceeds of this base cheat seems to have driven some of the Aldermen mad, and they are naturally indignant with the indepen- dent press, which stands between these forty bandits and the people's pockets; for— ‘What rogue e’er feit the halter draw, With good opinion of the law? Ovr Poxrmicat, CorResronpENCE AND THR Presents Exxction.—In another part of this day’s Hxraxp will be found a batch of po- litical correspondence, all bearing more or leas directly on the Presidential election, and giv- ing accounts from every part of the Union of the shifts and contrivances to which the various friends and enemies of the candidates, and, in some instances, the friends of the Union, are resorting, in order to attain their ends. As to the South, in one letter we are told that the friends of Douglas, in Tennessee, are going over to Breckinnage; while in auother we are informed that in Louisiana ther jg g prospect of a union between the Bell ana Douglas men. In Georgia we are told none but Douglas has any chance, and there is the most bitter hostility that can be conceived against Breckinridge and Lane—a statement which our readers will do well to qualify with a very large quantity of salt. A writer from Ala- bama says Bell is the only man for that State and for the South, but against Lincoln they are all united toa man. It isa pity they do not prove that fact in eome practical form which would insure Itis overthrow. In Texas a correspondent states that Douglas will have no ticket, and the vote of the State will be given to Breckinridge. In Virginia the democracy are all at sea; and unless they do something very decisive, and that soon, Bell will get the electoral vote of that State. In Missouri the democracy are equally in a fog, and Bell's chances there are the best. When we come to the Northwest and the Northeastern States we find the same confusion. An Illinois Douglasite attempts to show that Douglas can carry his own State. He eould as soon carry the Union, while Breckinridge and Bell run against him. If there were no other candidates but Douglas and Lincoln, it would be very problematical whether the Little Giant would succeed or not; but as matters now stand his success in [Illinois is simply an impossibility. In Wisconsin the po- pularity of Douglas is great, but so is the popu- larity of Lincoln. In this State our Albany correspondence informs us the Bell and Douglas forces will unite; but that will not prevent the State from giving its vote to Lincoln, unless they both unite their forces with those of Breck- inridge, the only man who, except Lincoln, has any chance of being elected by the people. In Rhode Island the principal portion of the de- mocracy will go for Douglas, but there is not the slightest probability of his getting the elec- toral vote of that little State. This mass of correspondence shows that while the forces of Lincoln are united and compact, the hosts opposed to him are divided and split up and warring against each other. If they were all united toa man against him, his bare defeat would be just as mugh as they could s¢- complish. But divided as they are, what other result can there be than the triumph of Lincola? Pcstic Ducescr.—George N. Sanders, the discharged Navy Agent at this place, bas writ- ten a letter abusing the President. Nothing more natural. Every ene, in private life, ex- pects to be abused by the servants he dis- charges; Sanders did precisely what Pat does when he is kicked out for insolence, or John, when he is shown the door for making free with the contents of the pantry. In Sanders’ case the solace of abuse was the more conge- nial, as Sanders has, in his time, abused almost every good and honorable man whom he has been permitted to know. His gress attacks on Senator Hunter, General Cass, and about half the Senate, because he could not secure the Lon- don Consulate, are still a source of shame and sorrow to the few good natured persons who entertain a pitying regard for him. Some wag said that Sanders’ letter was like Junius. It reads much more like an editorial in the Little Peddlington Gazette, whose editor was always “telling the Ozar of Russia, and telling him for the last time,” &c., &c.; or like the first composition of a half-educated colle- gian, who is dying of love for big words and thundering phrases. It is gabble from begin- ning to end, pure unadulterated decasyllabic gabble; there is no argument in it, no logic, no ideas, little grammar, and no sense. It would not have been worth referring to, but for the fact that its publication in the Times, Tribvne and some other city papers calls for a word of remark. What earthly good did such a publication achieve? The very papers which published it denounced it; yet they pub- lished it. Can these journals find nothing to fill their columns with but gross, coarse, per- sonal attacks on the private character of Mr. Buchanan? Are they not aware that such at- tacks are an outrage, not upon Mr. Buchanan, but upon the office he holds and the nation whose government be administers? Or are their columns mere common sewers, in which every dirty fellow is free to void his filth? So long as leading journals are willing, for party purposes, to transcend the fair lines of political controversy, and to allow their columns to be used for the wanton villification of the private character of the highest magistrate of the country, the opponents of our institut will always have an argument to prove that publicanism is hostile to the developement of the decencies and the amenities of civilization. Trovetx Amoxe Tre Brack Rervwrteays.— There appears to be serious trouble among the republican politicians of this State. They are abusing each other with as much bitterness as the democratic politicians. War to the knife seems to be declared between Horace Greeley on the one side, and Webb and Weed on the other, as to who shall control the nominations for Governor and the other offices at the com- ing State election. The Chevalier Webb is in a terrible way about Greeley. He comes out yesterday in a perfect rage, abusing the Hon. Massa Greeley without mercy for defeating Seward at Chicago, and for attempting to “engineer the machine for the coming election.” He even threatens that if Greeley persists in going on with the Greeley, for he sta. with orations of Brutus and ptsarened ors: vituperative, for he calls hima @ hypocrite ana traitor; he brings natura} history to his aig for he compares him to a Viney and Contrasts hing with a rhinoceros, In fact, the Chevalier is in a terrible passion; and, under tho motto on his banner, of “principles, not mem,” he rang from principles altogether, and maxes special butt of his wrath, ume ‘The republican politicians have evi into a delightful snarl al! round. ey} tobe workng hard, not to cucy the elrction, but to see how they can best abuse each ober Tae Next Victims or Tax ALvaxy Regest— A Visrr rrox Dean Ricumonp.—We lagly re- ceived a vist from Dean Richmond.

Their bargau. and their friendships can only be compared to tue em- braces of the bear, who hugs to death that which he loves. Van Buren was thus hugged. The Regency used him as their instrument te divide and defeat the democratic party in 1848. He is, politically, defunct ever since. During the present year they killed Governor Wise, and they slaughtered Daniel S. Dickinson. They tried to kill Douglas at Charleston and Balti- more, but he was too much for them there. They are now, however, more successful. Having got him fairly in their clutches, they have slipped the thugs’ noose adroitly around his neck, and that will be the last of the LittleGiant They ° will consign him to retirement in someLinden- wold in Illinois, as they have done with Vaa Buren in this State for the last twelve years. Together with Douglas, they are preparing a political tomb for a number of other men mixed up with his fortunes, among them Mayor Wood, who gave up everything—sacrificed his fine position at the South, and his great strength in this city—in order to be hand and glove with the Regency. They are embracing him to death, and will cheat him in whatever bargain they make with him, as théy have always cheated and always will cheat those who let them come too close to them. As the bear of the Regency has made no bar- gain with us, and can make none, we are per- fectly free to send an arrow into his side when- ever we find him hugging his prey in that loving manner so peculiar to him. _—_——————= VISIT OF THE PRINCE OF WALES.

Very little enthusiasm was manifested though the night gloriously beautiful. Mr. Dickinson paid « high ment to the present administration.
