AS a sequel to the recent gallant exploit of Lieutenant Cushing in destroying the rebel ram Albemarle, in Roa. boke river, we now have tho important intelligence, throagh Ricbmond papers, of the recapture by the Union foroes, ov Monday Inst, of Plymouth, N. C,, after three days of bard fighting, This place, it will be remem- Dered, was evacuated by our army Inet spring, and Would have been reoccupied by it long sines but for the Possession by the rebels of their formidable steam ram.

However this may be, of one thing thero is no question—tbat the movement emanates directly from England Ever since the insurrectiom of the Canadian patriots, in 1837, it has been the settled eon- viction Of British statesmen that the inde- pendence of the provinces was only a question of time. Under this belief they: have been endeavoring gradually to prepare their people for the change and to induce them to take such measures ag would secure them against the encroachments of the United States. Self- reliance, they have impressed upon them, ia the main condition necessary to their inde- pendence, as it will be impossible for Great Britain to give them any material assistance in the futu The admissions and arguments Bomplimenting General Pleasanton aud bis soltier# Hi, Cwtloved were of too apparently unre- ‘the bighest terms for their brilliant and most import served a character not to induce the suspicion WN iabors.

And now we have Great Britain exhibiting her share im them by the course which she is pursuing in this cou- federation scheme—a eourse wholly at variance with her usual policy, and dictated only by the belie’ tiat it will procure for her, commer- cint!y w well as politically, greater advan- aashe cam hope to derive from con- to hold the previnces to their alle- > knows that on the first outbreak of a war with ws they would, in their present condition, be immediately overrun and taken from her, and she equally entertains the belief that by thus uniting them they can be rendered self sustainiag and perfectly defensible against invasion. We will not stop to inquire how far this latter conviction is well founded. It is sufi- cient to say that the ablest of the Canadian journals express grave doubts on the subject. The suggestion of the plan from Downing street, in any case, proves the truth of what we have always agserted—that Great Britain holds the check of the growing political and commercial power of the United States as of far more im- portance to her than even the retention of ber American provinces. Independent of her and of us, they would be of greater value to her, commercially, than they are at present, or than they could possibly become as members of the American Union. United to us they would, politically, so contribute to the overshadowing greatness and influence of this country as to place Great Britain in the position of a second or third rate Power. These are dangers tbat she has long appreciated, and that made her hail with joy the outbreak of our present trou- bles. She saw in them the means, if not of the destruction of our ascendency on this continent, at least of arresting its furtber growth. To es- tablish here that balance of power by which. in Europe, she has contrived to maintain her posi tion unimpaired, she is willing to sacrifice something of her political prestige by letting go the provinces. She fears, in short, more the effect of the triumph of republican institutions upon her staius at home than she does upen her American interests, although che believes that these interests will not suffer by this pre- tended act of generosity. How short sighted are these calculations? Even now the leading journals of Canada and the other provinces are cevering them with ridicule, and predicting that within less than two years the result will be annexation. How can it be otherwise?. The “material influences” which have decided tbe British government to take this step sre in themselves too powerful and too much on our side not to insure it. The fundamental error in the confederation scheme is the basing it upou the assumption that the eommercial interests of Great Britain and the previnces are identical. They are not, and never can be so, The commencial interests of the provinces are intimately beund up with those of the United States, and no efforts that foreign statesmen can make can even divide or break them up. For this reason the provinces must gravitate, politically, towards us as soon as they ure left to their own free action. Even now, in the inception of the very scheme by which it is intended to oppose barriers to such a result, the Canadian journals point to it as inevitable. But, even admittisg shat such prepondor- ating influences did not exist, they could affect but little the ultimate issues between the two governments. The events of the present war have demonstrated that there is no security for our institutions but in the firm and unswerv- ing maintenance of the Monroe doctrine. This cannot be insured withom our obtaining pessession of the previnces, and sweep’ from Mexico aud this continent generally every trace of Eurepean domination. Who donbts our power to do this? The very move- ment initiated by the English government for the eonfederation of its American depend- encies is evidence sufficient of tbe conviction entertained by those most interested of our ability and readiness to accomplish, it as soon ¢ as the crushing out of the rebellion leaves us leisure to give the matter our attention. Tue Suam Demockacy asp Tawmany Hant.—- At the little MeKeon meeting at Union square on Thursday evening last the resolutions inveighed against Tammany Mall as a “sham emocratic” organization. Now, the fact of the matter Is, that Tammany Hall is the only regular, legitimate democratic orgavization in this city, and that the McKeon faction and all other factions of that sort are mere splits from tbe Old Wigwam, and the worsé ef sham, bogus, iNegitimate concerns. Tammany Hall is true to the Union, while the McKeon and other factions are perpetually urging # dishonor- able peace. If McClellan be defeated at this clection these sham democrats will be to blame for it. They foisted upon him and the party the odious Chicago platform, and altbough he and Pendleton have personally repudiated it. still it burts the democratic party. We wonder at the impudence of these bogus, humbugging cliques, therefore, in speaking of Tammany Hall as the “sham de- mocracy,” especially when the recent Demo- cratic State Convention decided that Tom, many was the omly real democratic organiza- tion, aod that they were mere political out- laws. Tur Cost or Tur Evection.—The Americans do everything upon a grand scale. We gave seven millions of dollars to the Sanitary Com- mission. We raised over fifty millions by pri- vate contributions for the benefit of our sol- diers. We have expended two or three thou- sand milHons upon this war. The Presidential election will probably cost us over fifty mil- lions. No wonder that all the world and the rest of mankind are astonished at us, The fifty millions for the election is entirely @ private affair, Some of it comes from patriots and some from partisans; but we are afraid that the most of it comes from contractors, Never- theless, this is a great country, and we can af- ford to do things in liberal way. Awyrictraten Riors.—There need be no fears of riots in this city on clection day. All the candidates are sure of election, and it is for their intereat to see that a fair vote is taken and that the voters are noi interfered with by any disturbances, Besides thie, tho ample pre- paratione made to put down ap ontvreak will prevent trouble. General Dix understands New York city thoroughly, and will neither cause nor allow rioting. In all probability we } euall bave 9 quiet election and » Large vole. The Congressionst Serambic im This | cuy. The contest for members of Congress in this | city is daily growing more spicy. Three or | four candidates have disappeared from the race in the last few days, but there are still enough left to continue the scramble and an- | noy the voters. | Sinee Gen. Welbridge baw withdrawn from the race, there are but three candidates loft in the Fourth district. These three candidates are Morgan Jones, the neminee of Tammany and Mozart halis; William Walsh, nominee of the McKeon faction, aud Carolan O’Brien Bry- ant, who, a3 a democrat, has been nominated by both of the republican organizations, and, according to the statements of his card, is run- ning for both the present and the future. The war-worn patriot, General Nelson Tay- lor, who has attested his love for the Union on } numerous fields of battle during tbis war, leads the list of candidates in the Fifth district as the nominee of Tammany Hall. Wm. B. Ma- cla: former representative from the district, and Thomas Cuassin are dodging around on the nominations of the two Mozart Halt factions, while each republican organization (Draper aad Darling) has a candidate of its own quarrelling over the handful of republican { votes which tradition, brought down from | the original settlers of Maubattan Island, eays | once existed there, Thus we have five candi- dates in search of Congressional honors iu this district. One of the most interesting controversies is just now going on in the Sixth district, Eli P. Norton having withdrawn, Elijah Ward, the present representative, baa the field all to him- self on the democratic side. Raymond and his committee have made a complete muddle of the republican side. The “elbows of the Min- cio” are no comparison to the muddle in which he-now finds himself. He is the nominee of the Weed wing of the party, while Colonel Rush C. Hawkins is the nominee of the real Union party. The latter hasserved his term in the armies of the Union, and with the scars of two wounds, received while defending our flag, now appears before his republican constituents for an endorsement. How he is treated by such windy patriots as Raymond | for all this is seen by the card of Colonel Hawkins to the public, Colonel Hawkins was one of the first to enter the field in de- feuce of the government. Raymond, on the other hand, remained at home, and managed to get elected to the Legislature under the great | Union movement in 1861. His whole effort while a member of that body was to partisan- ize the Union movement, and he so far suc- ceeded that he drove the war democrats back to their former party, which resulted in the defeat of the republicans and the success of the democracy at the next election in this Siate. Both as a patriot and a repablican, therefore, Colonel Hawkins has the greater elaim upon his party. There are on!y two candidates in the Seventh j district. Chanler, the peace democrat, is run- | ning against ex-Alderman Boardman, republi- can. We are very sorry to say that Chanler will probably be elected. He did nothing in the last Congress to recommend him for this, Tammany ought to have nominated a better man. Provost Marshal B. F, Mannierre has mag- nanimously withdrawn from the contest im the Kighth district in favor of Wm. E. Dodge, tke other republican candidate. Mr. Barr is the regular Tammany nominee, and Mr. John Andersen, the Mozart candidate, has withdrawn ia his favor. Boeby Brooks is trying to slip in somewhere as the independent candidate of the odds and ends. He forgets that be was ever a Know Nothing, but always kaew something except ou the Clark trial. He also denies ever being ademocrat. Whatis he? Is he the political What Is It? Five candidates are actively skirmishing in the Ninth district. Wm. E. Darling is the nom- inee of the republicans, Col. George Baldwin is the nominee of Tammany Hull. One hua- dred dollar Herrick has been ruaning around loose since Tammany Hall indignantly repu- diated him, trying to get another nomination. Fernando Wood is the nominee of Fernando Wood. Fernando Wood is patrolling the district, making speeches for Fernando Wood. He is | sure of Fernando Wood’s vote, and {s boasting that he will work out Colonel Baldwin in Fer- nando Wood’s favor. Mr. J. Trumbull Smith is the nominee of the McClellan clubs. Voters are requested to look over the schedule, and pick and choose for themselves Thus stands the Congressional squabble ia this city two days before election. Tue Inuvstearep Paprsrs.-The pictorial papers profess to be and ought to be neutral in politics, at least so far as their illustrations are covcerned. This truth is so very obvious that it is never disputed; and yet the Messrs. Harper, a pious book publishing firm in this -city. are issuing an illustrated paper apparently devoted to entirely partisan objects and full of the grossest caricatures and mrisrepresentations of tbe opposition party and of the adopted | citizens of this country. Such a prostitution of the illustrated press is unpardonable. The fact that the editor of the Messrs. Harper’s paper is a candidate for Congress may explain this conduct, but cannot excuse it. Cuniovs JournatisM.—An editor should al- ways say what he has to say in the editorial columns of his own paper, if that paper has any circulation. Yet Horace Greeley is al- ways writing letters to the Tribune signed “H. G.,” andMatfton Marble of the World has adopted the same dodge. Raymond, of the Times, ineven more singular; for he prints a letter signed by himself and addressed “To the editor of the Times,” thus writing to him- self. We call this, curious journalism. Gree- ley, Marble and Raymond are reputedly the editors of the Tribune, World and Times respec: tively. If they aro not the editors, they should be manly enough to deny the rumors to that effect. If they are the editors, why do they write letters to themselves? This dodge is get- ting to be very silly. A Livery Crry.—New York was moro ani- mated and excited than ever last week. The politicians have been making a furor. There were mass meetings, and ward meetings, and club meetiags, and torchlight processions, and conventioas, and musie, and speeches, ad libitum. The war democrats, the peace democrats, the conservative democrats, the conservative re- publicans, the radical republicans, the repub- lican radicals, tlie workingmen, the brokers, the merchants, the Tammany Hall men, the Mozarters Nos, i, 2,2, 4, &., the MeKeonites, } the constitutional uniouight, aud the independ eat factions, had thelr pubile and private gatherings, sometimes three or four » day. Union square and the Cooper Institute were always oocupied and all the ward halls were | agoveaments of the Bliticlans ablaze. We had the tast of the torchlight pro- cessions last night, and the moon had to bide her diminished head bebind o calcium light to save ber reputation. Sunday is given up to the political parsous, and Monday will be passed in quiet work. On Tuesday is the great election.
