From the A', w York American. The doctrine of non committals, so much urged at present by the Argus, i- a favourite one of Mr. Van Buren, and means, when duly interpreted, that until his arrangements are all matured, he pr fers that the state of New-York should withhold its opin ion. In the last contest lor Presiden cy. this was precisely the game ol Mr. Van Buren. While all the oth cr states in the Union were discuss ing with warmth and earnestness the merits of the various candidates be fore the people, Mr Van Buren per onally, and through his Argus, dis suaded from such Ji-cu-sions—lhey were premature; they were unneces ,jrv; thev were mischievous, as ten ting to divide brethren of the sa~ie lith. .This language was held by his astute senator up to the very ve of his departure from Washing on at the close of session previous . that in which the minority caucus i ide its nomination; and on his pari was held in good faith, b -cause, u, * that time, he had not made up I »u> OWO iWfld or what perk,Mgs tnav [OR $4 IF NOT PAID IN SIX v 'ONTH3. lie considered m his case a syuoui mous phrase, mad his own bargain. Beiore leaving Washington, howev-* er. he had, for the first time, a con fidential personal interview with Mr. Crawford, in which all his doubts were resolved. He came forth from it, a decided partisan of that gentle man, an 1 immediately the seals thafc were upon his lips, and upon the col umns of the Argus, were broken; and they spoke out unalloyed, southern doctrines. From that mo ment, the indiscretion and danger ot' prematerc committals vanished-and M w York, with her million and u half ol freemen, was under the suf ferance! and by the order, of Mr. Van Buren, permitted to think and -peak, provided her thoughts and -peecli were of the orthodox Virginia -tamp. The same course exactly is now pursuing. The Senator is on a tour at'reconnaissance to the South, on re turning from which, and having as certained how, in nautical phrase, ihe land lies, he will be prepared again to issue his mandate, and all ihe believers will be required to obey This is the true ant! only in terpretation of non-committals; and w!k n thus explained, is there a free* man who* deserves the name, that will not feel his indignation rising against such a doctrine and practice? Fur to what does it lead? We talk of ours, as a g vernment of the peo* pie—vet the people are told‘from authority, that in a question of the most vital importance to them, and which they have the sole right of determining, they must not inquires I r themselves —they must not pre maturely agitate it—they must nob'' exercise their own understandings, hut wait till the leaders of the party shall give out their views in all theso matters—till the men of influence shall have ascertained how much their influence is worth in exchange; and then this docile people—this flattered, cajoled, and betrayed peo ple, is told, this is the only republi cs n candidate—this is the only truo party man who will administer tho government as a political club ad ministers its funds, for the benefit of the affiliated; and him, therefore, you muA support, or the party is un d< ne. 77te royal family of Britain. —Mr. (lump calculated, lately, in tbe Brit i*h house of commons, that tho amount of the sums on the British pension list, paid to the different ju nior branches of the royal family, was 234,000 pounds sterling, in ad dition to the lb 1,200,000 for tho king. * Journal of Paul Jones. —A copy ■f this valuable and interesting man u-cript, in the best of binding and nid handsome writing, is now in Portsmouth, N. 11.
