In justification of tho position of indepen. donee of existing political parties, we have assumed, we have assigned the reaeon that po litical corruption has neon engendered, and is tolerated amongst them to a most wonderftil ami .imagOrout extent. Tho troth of the,aUo* gallon to n certain degree is conceded by all men; but the continued contemplation of even n physical deformity lessens our'feasibility to its horrors uadi wo become tolerant of its exis tence. The same is tree of public and private vice; and the long fkmUiariiy with the despica ble trickery of banded demagogue bos brought many honest men to regard it as necessary In itaelf, ark trivial evil inseparable from demo cratic Institution* t and they art amazed and iaetodufctt* when attempts are mode to portray the magnitude of the evil.

Bo*, to order to sustain the charge in U entirely, fet us ft*, what meaning should be ottaP'dtdib ft*.Wprda,political corruption; and te^ts definition trill bo perceived at ones its insaparnhl* moral turpitude, and its universal prevalence. To pervert in any sense or any way, tho elective franchise, or the measures, the appointments or the powers of tho govern mentfoota puhlle to private ends, from univer sal to private or partisan aims, whether on a larger or smaller scale, whether seortly or open ly, whether with a redeeming hypocrisy or with an unblushing avowal of rascality—that is polit ical corruption. It is an unnatural violation of the purpose for which government ia institu ted. It is worse than private dishonesty, inso much as it ia a breach of the highest earthly treat. Ilia worse titan private gambling, for if C ta at stake not tbe gambler’s own properly, t what has been oommitted to him in behalf of millions of-the Using, and countless mill ions yet unborn. It adds the meanness of tho theft to tho lawlessness ot the robbeiy. It ie lying. It Is perfidy; it is tho foulest, rankest, most Heaven-daring perjury. The logical and honest instinct of mankind has rightly named it, and no sooner do wo comprehend its essen tial Idea than tho hotter principles of our na ture impel us to turn from it with loathing and dimeuat, ft« appUcatjaa of this. definition to the pnBtioal history of the oountry demonstrates the evil. Where la the public functionary, the party, the partisan who has at all times preven ted tho intrusion of private fooling and partisan interest in'the management of the high trusts intended only for the common good? Nay, in. stood of glaring the pnbUe weal high above every eithor conmdeiatlon, the debasing .pjrati- eal motto: Firstly, ourselves: secondly, our party; .lastly, our .oountry, boldly avowed, and tite two first *t least faithfully observed. The attempts to continue political parties beyond the legitimate.term of their existence has furnished this evil with the aliment which has swelled It to snob gigantic proportions. No sooner do tha great crises that array men into opposing ranks pass by than tho moans hieh have been employed $0 secure the tri- amph of truth over honest bat misguided er ror, are seized on by the politicians by trade and seKUbly wielded to their own aggrandixe- t. Their ends are impure, and the means and appliances to which they hare recourse ' ay more fool' add corrupting until it is penlty announced that the spoile of office arc the only object, and the cohesive power of public plunder the only bond of party organi- ration. This profound depth of degradation, this extreme rottenness^ is not usually attained ■Uddeaiy. It Ii reached by slow and easy gra dations. Gradually as the noble tree hearted patriots of the land withdraw to their private vocations, after dome peril is passed which had eaUadthem to the rescue of tho nation, the guidance of the party ia given up to Political Mer* who are ever busied in oiling tbe wheels and tho machinery of the organisation. . s [Fojr the Courier.] OCEOLA.

The administration ia about to take a now step towards Cuba, Mr. Mnroy lu ing tbo drill major and rr.vnd originator of tlu' mnyomsnt. The origiualodca of Uie adinini oration <>f ob* tainiog Cuba by force of arms, at nil hazards and nny saorlfioe, having fallen through, mid the repre' ontative entrusted with this mutler to Spain having indignantly thrown up hi* com mission and com* home, it was. felt, on the part of the administration, that something most be ^ono to retrieve its character Marcy scanned the whole field a* it lay before him, and with the tingle glance caw juet how lo more, a* he believes, to "ear* the failing honors of bis house," and at tho same time to take away the political thunder of Boehanan A Co. Soulo went to Spain to annex Cuba to our U&ion, hut the thing did not succeed. Augustas Coeosar Dodge goes with another view—milder than that of the first Minister—something more rea sonable to expect, and if successful it will be all that Marcy wants—a mighty feathar in hit a for tha contest of 1858. This now act in annexation drama, and which Mr. Dodge ia eat down on the bill to play—Mr. Marcy act ing the prompter behind the soenee—ie to es tablish a reciprocity treaty with Spain, between the island of Cuba and the United States—a reciprocity treaty precisely like that lately en tered into between the United States and Can ada, allowing free trade, In its ihllest sense, between the Island of Cnba and the American Union. The ease to be presented to Spain, during the coming summer, is—"You have re- fiuod to sell Cuba; you are opposed to her an nexation to the United States upon any terms, England and France supports and backs yon in your opposition; and now the least we can ask. and what we will have, is a reciprocity treaty between thil island and the United States, that, free of charge, these powers may be the mutual producer* and consumers for each other. The geograpical position of Cuba gives tbe Ameri cans tha right to ask this, ana this they will bar*. They will no longer consent that their S redacts shall be taxed with a heavy- revenue 1 Cuba, thus virtually themselves paying to buildup and support a navy to barrass and threaten their own commerce within right of their own shorts.” This is the nsw programme, and it is to bo urged at the same time with vigor in England, Franc* and 8paln. It might too mnch, per haps, tax tho credulity of onr people to ask them to believe that this measure will be poshed with any fore*, after the pnerile exhibition jnst made by the administration in backing out from their former programme. But it must be borne in mind that Marcy iathe ruling spirit of tbe Cabinet; and with him opposed to Sonlo A Co. and their annexation project, they had up hill work; in fiset, they found in Marcy an effectual check to their wheels. If the first plan rue* eeeded, all the honors would go to Mr. Buchan, aa and his fillibnstaring friends, while Mr. Mar cy would bare no other prospective alternative but to retire to hie rural home, to-brood in si lence over bit cabbages, forgotten and unsung in the victorious war cry of " Cnba and annex ation," which wonld bear bis rivals onward. Rather than submit to this, Mr. Moray preferred to knock tke wkole scheme of Mr. Buchanan and Soule’s on the head, that it should not grow, to tbe political aggrandisement of the latter gentleman, and .disparagement of himself. How woU the Premier succeeded ip this tho Ostoad documents, the return of Mr. Soule and tbe renunciation of the annexation project tells. Mr. Marcy baring now got everything just aa he wants it—having shattered the Cuba ques tion as if with an earth qnake, ho casts about him to see if, out of the fragments, he can’t patch up something for. himself, .and straight way hits upon the Reciprocity Treaty, which is now the order of the day. It is his special project, and if it succeeds none but he can carry off any of tho honors. Henee tbe prob ability that this programme will bo urged with much more force and boldness than the-first, since this has all tbe support of the Great Mo gnl of the administration, who carries with him the Prtsfdent at. a secondary support. Augus tas Ctesar Dodge is picked ont to take charge of this matter, more for his amiable than his belligerent qualities. There will be no "kick ing np behind" with Mr. Dodge at' there wat with Mr. Soule. Augustas looms np more mag nificently in name than he does in individuality, and belongs to that good, easy sort of Christian beings who bare the happy fhcnlty of avoiding quarrels, by doing exactly as tboy are told. Augustas Cesar wonld as soon think of disobey ing the call of tho Archangel Gabriel* to judg ment, and refusing to go when his tramp-sound ed, as doing anything in opposition to the wish es of IV m. L. Marcy. He is told to tell Spain that we want a reciprocity treaty with Cuba, and nnless it is given the Neutrality laws shall be repealed at the next Congress, and foe "dogs of war" let loose upon the island; and Mr. Dodge will note down all this in his pocket mem oranda book, and when he reaches Madrid, and comes before the sovereign, bo'will take ont this book and order bis interpreter to say it all off to the ruling monarch, precisely as it was given him at bon;*. Augustus will then have played his part, and come home, no doubt, one of the best automations that was ever sent to represent us at court before. Marcy will bare his glory whether Spain accedes or not, and have a pretty good stake to enter against Mr. Buchanan in the next election. This is tbe point tbe Cuba question has at last been whit- led down to. ' Great satisfaction is felt hero by the reception of the report "by tho Illinois from Panama, that the Decatur has arrived all safe atValpa- raso. Mr. Secretary Dobbin has, for some days K t, been very ill, and unable to attend to any Iness watever. Ills sickness is the effects of a cold received early in tho month. He was a little improved to-day; bat it is not likely he will be able to resume his post for several days to come. NELLS. Spiritualism Entrapped.—A Son Francis- eb editor, F. C. Ewer, recently prepared a fic titious sketch, describing tbe sensations of a dying man. He, as the best mode of overcom ing all difficulties involved in such relations, made his hero describe bis death from the spir itual world. The author was recently surprised to find that Jndge Edmonds, of N; Y., had used his fictitious narrative as Ihe production of a veritable spirit, and the Judge wrote to tbs author to aoquaint him with the fact that he bad had several spiritual interviews with this defunct "hero," wno never had any exis tence except in Mr. Ewer’s brain. Mr. Ewer’s { etter is rather an amusing proof of tbe exceed- ng credulity of- the Jndge, and tho ludioront absurdities in which tho professed spiritualists involve themselvos, by taking leave of com mon sense and ignoring tbe well established moral and physical laws of the universe.

Nicholas Paulovitch, the son of Paul tho First and Maria Kuvdorowpn, wa« tho fifteenth sov- • reign of tho Romanoff dynasty, if tho Impe rial historians aro to bo believed. In reality ho was tbe eighth sovereign of tho llolstotn- Gotorp dynasty, the Romanoff raoe Imving he- conic extinct with Peter III. The Hulsteins are of Gcmmn descent; their game is even difficult »f pronunciation to Ku*si»n lips. Nieh- olai, aware that tho Muscovite pride would feel but little flattered to owe the sacred porson of their sovereign to the detested raco of N«moiz t (German*) always carefully suppressed his real family name. Tho courtiers maintained, in «i'l (e of all proof to tho contrary, that the blood flowing in the Telus of tbe Csarwaa Russian to tho h'.'t drop.—Golovine, however, informs us that the poet Pouohkin was of a contrary opin ion* "Hebad,"says Golovine, "a habit of Il lustrating tho nationality of tho reigning fam ily iu a whimsical manner. He would pour - into a vase a glass of pare red wino in honor of Peter I., whose Russian origin could not be disputed. 21* should, justly speaking, have stopped there, Rt-d turned tbe glass upside down; but, foiihful to the principle of tho Rus sian government, which tnnkos tbe Gotorps pass for tho Romanoffs, he would pour ia ano ther glass-—of water—-in honor of Catharine IL, Princess of Anhalt This time he should, per haps, have poured a glass of wine, but, fearing to compromise himself, would pass on and pour another glass of water to Maria Fevdorowna, tho mother of Nicholas I.; then a fourth, for the reigning Empress; and he obtained it last a liquor so-slightly tinged with red that he would excite * general laugh when he called upon hia audionco to deeido as to whether it was wine or water he was showing them, and whether, by comparison, the reigningCzars were really Russians or Germans.’’ This Mus covite ploasan’ly had tbe merit oT expressing the exact troth with Teference to thof ultra- national pretentions of tbe Emperor Nicholas. It is, howevor, carious to remark, by the way, that in spite of tho strong desire’ of the sons of the Gotorp raco to pass for Romanoffs, they do not carry it sb far as to abandon ,'the titles that belong to them as representatives of the older branch of Hblateln; thus Nicholas invariably added to the qualifications attached to the Csarete this Heir of Norway, Duke of Scblee- wig, of Stonnar, of Ditmoreen, and Oldensburg. Nicholas was twenty-nino years of age when he came to the.tbrone. Born tho year of Cath erine’s death, (1797,) ho had been educated under the oye of his exoellent mother, the Em press Marie, from whom he had derived sound religious instruction and high moral principle. Childhood h'ad veiled from him the awful trage dy which closed his father’s life, and the great wars which terminated with tbe burning of tbe Kremlin. Warned by the example of his bro thers, his marriage had been delayed till he attained bia majority, when he was united to Louise Charlotte, daughter of Frederic Will iam IIL of Prussia, a lady whose smiablo char acter and fond affection have never been ques tioned.—From the period of his marriage till his acoession he had, like all members of the royal family, devoted, himself to military stu dies. He lived retired, and spent most of his- timo in the barracks. It does Hot appear that he derived much fruit from, his perseverance. He never was a good general, and frequently displayed such want' of skill as to expose him to the ridicule of his officers. If we are toJ>e lieve the works of some of his countrymen he nearly contrived to .frustrate the success of his own army in 1828, by his ill-judged interfer ence and injudicious manoeuvres. ' The very day of his accession, tbe most for midable revolt that Rnssia had known since tbo- days of Michael Romanoff broke out in the cap ital. It was not formidable by its strength or tbe skill by which it was marked: a couple of thousand officers and men of intellect composed its entire force, and their plans were wofully de fective. But it differed from all former insur rections in Its principle. They had been fam ily quarrels for power, court intrigues, outbursts of insubordination' among the soldiery—this was tb*£&rrt direct blowstruck for popularrights. Tho aim of Ryleiefin the north, and Pestel in the south, was to supersede the autoerrey of the Czars by a constitutional monarchy. They wanted freedom for themselves and their fellow- countrymen« and though they foresaw that the straggle might involve tbe death of the Czar, this they regarded as'a mere incidental conse quence, and not the main object of <beir move ment. They would have accepted even Con stantine, htul he offered them constitutional guarantees for their natural rights. An i- snr rection on this ground was a new and startling event for Etf&id. On the 25th of December the oath was to he administered to the regiments. Instead of swearing, several abandoned tbeir barracks and marched fo tho great square in SL Petersburg on which the statue of Peter the Great rests, shouting, Hurrah for Cobstantine! They might ns well have shouted for the Pope! so for as their purpose went—but all insurgents must hnvo a rallying-cry. Confiding bis son to a loyal Finnish regiment, Nicholas took the com mand of a few treaty battalions, and advanced against the'rebela. He tried again and again to divert them from their purpose; but failing, resorted at last, at nightfiill, to the final expe dient of the grape. They were incapable of resisting, and in an hear alter the first cannon shot (he streets were cleared, and the rebellion was quelled. Ryleief and several other leaders were taken, together with Pestel, whose move ments in the Sonth were anticipated. These two eminent men—tbe one a stern republican of the old Roman school, whose soul knew no swerving from the direct line of principle, and who thought of nothing but freeing his country; tho other a cbivilrous young officer,“full of no bility, eloquence and fire—were hanged, with three others, on the borders of the Neva. Af ter tho drop had fallen three of tbe ropes broke, and the bodies of the condemned fell heavily into tho grave already ddg at their feet "Cur sed country," exclaimed'Ryleief, "where peo ple can neither conspire nor jndge, nor hang! Disabled by their fall, they were carried once more ip the seaffold, and the gray dawn saw their bodies stiffened in death. Several other conspirators wore sent to Siberia. An ominons beginning for a reign. It had afforded Nicholas an opportunity for tbe display of personal courags; other qualities were now required of him. Like' Alexander’s, his early reign promised, great things. He gained pop- ulnrity by associating freely with bis subjects, and interesting himself in their welfare. He cut down the expenses of the Court, and thus re lieved the tax payers. He undertook to reform every department of tbe government, and dis played untiring'Retivity In tbe public business. By tho conspiracy of tho 26th December, tho Emperor had been mode aware of *ho corrup tion which bad reached all classes; tho bureaux were full of fraud, theft, and every kind of Il legality. Justice was rendered unjustly, and law was constantly eluded. Ho resolved to he the Justinian of his empire. Sporanki was .directed to prepare an official collection oMhoRasilnn laws. The~arcLives— military, civil hnd synodal—tho ukases of the imperial cabinet, and the judgments of the dif ferent branches of the administration, were put together. All these materials, formed a general collection (Sobranie Zakonu) consisting of thir ty-nine thousand nine hundred and twenty of these acts were anterior to the accession of Nich olas ; five thousand and sevontysthree were promulgated betwoen 1825 and 1832. The Csar it is seen alone producod more laws than sever al deliberative assemblies. 'He himself presided at the compilation of the acts wbieh wo have just spoken of, and which it was of course nec essary to make agree in all their details’. Already forty-five quarto volumes of the Svo'd or Russian Digest, have been published, and regulate the derisions of- the Russian trib unals. During a long period Nicholas passed all his nights and days in superintending these ardu ous labors, and in bringing thsm to 6 satisfacto ry result, in spito of the dumb resistance of the bureaucrats. His frame soon showed signs of the excessive labor he jmpofced on himself, Ills wife constantly pleaded with him for some re laxation from his toils. Where be could deteot corruption he punished it severely. Thus for a year or two ho did well. Soon, however, ho, struck upon tho rock on which bis brother had foundered. Insatiable ambition, traditional thirst for conquest, hurried him into wars. The taxes rose again.. Discon, tont.revived' Secret societies were formed.-- Insurrections broke out in various provinces.— Tho Poland crushed undor the iron heel of Con* stantine, made a feeble effort to roar Us bead.— The club of Nicholas battered it to the e<trti>.— effectually to prevent fhture complaints, whole provinces were depopulated. Tbe vengeance of Nicholas was pitiless.— Ererv one remembers the horriblo treatment to which the insurgonts woro subjeoted. Poland was Incorporated with Russia, and became a provinoe'of the empire* Tho retrogado movemont was now in full vig or. Seeret polios—tho constant weapons of des potism—Mrarmcd in the oitios. In his anxiety to keep down tho people, Nicholas lost eight of tbe villainies of tho i’nnotionnrioi* Corruption was never more universal. Restraints wore placed on foreign travel; and Russian subjects were forbidden to publish anything abroad—- Fresh lovies swollod the army to a monstrous extent With a revenue not exceoding $100,- 000,000, one million of men were kept under arms. How anything was left for those who were not soldiers Is a mystery. It is almost a wonder bow tha judges and other public func tionaries could contrive to steal ns they did.— Knowledge was proscribed. In the: quaint words of a verso quoted hj a recent wri ter: ;• ‘ lie said to tho mind, Go into darkness! And signed it; Be it so. Czar Nikolai. But in troth be could do no less. Theroisno compromise possible between despotism and in telligence. Nicholas bad to ehoose botweoh crushing ont overy spark of intelleet and free' dom, and abondoning bis throne. He ehoose the former. The domestic virtues whieh mark ed the whole of his.earoer show that he was not a bad rasa, a* Paul and the Peters were. His Immense labors for the ratification of tho Rus sian law prove that he desired the good of bis country. Even his implacable and cruel ro ■entment at the delinquencies of corrupt offi cers argues a sincere interest in the popular wel fare. From all that ws have said about Nicholas, it can bo seen that one general idea regnlatedf hia policy. Struek by tbe evils which had been left him by hia brother Alexander, ho determ ined to tako in all things the contrary course to that whioh had been adopted by his predeces sor. Alexander Inclined toward liberal ideas; Nicholas showed himself anti-liberal to an ex- When tbe poet Pouchkin died, mourning was universal throughout Russia, the Emperor him self taking part ip it. A young man, exeftod by the glorious regrets Which this death caused, wrote an ode in honor of tbe deceased poet, and in whieh he held ont to himself some hopes of becoming; at a fhture day, one of the ornaments of Russian literature. The Czar could not look with a favorable eye upon this audacious young man, who eoveted glory in a country where it belonged to the sovereign alone, and the wore shipper of the Moses was sent to calm the ardor of bis imagiimtion beneath the climate of To* brisk. He came back on theend of three yean .siekand entirely disgusted with poetic .glory. Alexander used to affect to pay no particular attention to the national language and customs, and did not conceal bis partiality for foreigners. Nicholas was a fanatic in behalf of tbe customs, language and religion of Rossis. „ On the external policy of Nicholas’ reign and of the wars in which he engaged, it is not onr intention in this brief sketch to speak. Tboy belong more properly to the domain of'histo- *y- The firmly established reputation of the late Csar as a handsome man imposed on ns tbe ob ligation of giving his portrait Several writers have undertaken the task, bnt none among them has acquitted himself so ably os the Prince Pe ter Kriofski, for which reason we. quote him in reference:— ; . "Nicholas," be writes, "has the noblest foes I have ever seen.in my 4ifo. The natural ex pression of hia physiognomy bad * certain se verely which is for from putting the beholder at ease. His smile is a smile of complaisance, and not the result of gayety or abandon. There is something approaebing the prodigious in this prince’s manner of existence. He speaks with vivacity, with simplicity and the most perfect propriety ; ail he says is full of point and mean ing—no idle pleasantly—not a word ont of its place. There is nothingin the tone of his voice or the arrangement of his phrases -that indicate haughtiness or dissimulation and yet yon feel that bis heart is closed." The personal habits of tbe Emperor were marked by the most feverish activity. ’ He would ride, walk, superintend a sham fight, and hold a review, all-in tho same day. He travel ed incessantly passed over at least 1,600 leagues every season, and wore down tho strength of all who were attached to bis person. The suddenness of Ite end was to be expected either from polities! causes, as has frequently been predicted, or from sheer physical exhaus tion. No frame eonld long resist the unnatural amount of exertion, both mental and bodily, to which this extraordinary man subjected him self. He was in his 59th year at the date of-his death. Tbe Claris succeeded by his eldest son Alex ander Cesarevitcb,'Hereditary- -Grand Duke.— He was born on tbe 29th of April, 1818, and married in April, 1841, Maria, dangbter of the. late Grand Duke Louis H. of Hesse, by whom ho has four sons. Tbe Oceax Steamers.—Some of the news- pa per* are laboring under an error as to effect of the Ptesident’sretoof the Ocean Mail Steam er bill. That measure proposed to appropriate $850,000 a year for tbe service for five years, and repeal the proviso reserving to Congress the right to giro six months’ notice of tbe dis- continance of the contract It is also required the Collins Company to add another Rteamer to tbe line. Tbe appropriation, ns it now stands in the Navy Appropriation bill, is $819,000 for a single year, ending the 30th June, 1856. The right to give notice is retained. Fmr Ahead.—Bennett, of the Herald, says he knows nothing of his life about issuing—don’t want to krow-—yet says: "But if we hdvejno time at present to give,like tbe Hon. Tom Benton and other literary vanities of tbe age. our life in two or three dull volumes, price $3 each, deducting 20 per cent, for lies, we ore preparing to publish a collection of ori ginal ‘Poems and Sketches of Society,’ which we wrote for our own-amusement forty years ago, and which we may place before the critical pnblic, to read, to abase and to criticise as much and as often aait pleases. "So, therefore, the amiable and wicked read ing public may prepare to see, in these latter days, avolnme of the ’Early Poems of'James Gordon Bennett," written between tho ages of eighteen and twenty-three years, before he be came a live journalist, a critic, a reporter, a po litician, a revolutionist <>r bugaboo among the newspapers." ~ ^SF-Since Col. Kinney,s resignation of the command of the famous Central American Ex pedition, it is said his intention was to take some hundreds of armed men with him, for the pur pose of participating with General Castillon, tbo revolutionary cheif in Nicaragua, who is now at war with that government. Castilton wishes to establish a white man's government over Ni caragua, and in Central America generally, and he has offered great inducements to volunteers from the United States. The Russian Minister at ’Washington says he believes that the reported death of the Csar to be an unpardonable hoax, gotten np entirely for sinister effect. He has no information what- evf r on the suBJept, nnd-Teels confident, had so important an event taken place he wonld have been promptly inf rraed. ^ —I" "Go rr, Bob Tail.”—Roeently, says the Tex an, thore were Indian alatms about Fredericks* burg. One German in the vicinity penned his horses at night for safety. He was aroused in the "dark silent hour” by the jingling of bells, bounced np and ont a laeane calotte, discovered Messrs Red Skin were driving offhis carallodo in a hurry. Hants, greatlv exeited, mounted his fleet bobtail pony, without gun, pistol or knife—pantless, coatless, sbooless, and hatless, and with the real portion of his Ao. playing in graceful horizontal position, made pursuit, shouting most lustily in bis mother’s tongue to to tho Messrs. Red Skin to stop, or he wonld scalp and roast every mother’s son of thorn.— Tho Indians, who were ten or fifteen in num ber, supposing they were pursuod by a regiment of Toxan Ranger*, took a flight, regardless of booty, leaving not only the horse they bad ta ken, bnt two veiy'fine ones of their own, toge ther with -any number of bows and arrows, spears, knives, guns and other "fixins," which were fonnd the next day scattered along a mile; and from the traoks sesn-their horses must have taken awful strides, and no doubt thought their end and come. Impobtamt to HoXel Keepers.—Sometime ago, Count Laboradere, of FrOnoe, arrived in this country, and pat up at the SL Nicholas Hotel, along with two traveling companions, who occupied rooms adjoining his own. They left tbeir rooms after breakfast in the morning, and while gone tbe Count’s dressing-ease was found open and robbed of $6,000, for wbieh a- mount ho brought suit against tho proprietors in tbe Marino Court The Judgo hold that "it is not suffioient merely to have nottoo posted in tho rooms, that all valuables must be deposited with tho bnr-koepor.

Belsbazsar, in the midst of hia enjoyment of the spoilt of prostrated foes, was luxnreting in his marble palace; and sRw "Mene, Menu, Tekel, .TJpbarsin,” inscribed up on Its walls, intimating to him in letters of fire that ho had been weighed in the Balance and Opinions of the Press. ;•> Speaking of the acceptance of Mr. .Overby the Sumter Republican says : . - "It would have inured much to the Temper ance cause if its friends eonld have taken the field under tho prestige of such a man as Mr. Jenkins. Ills great moral force and character, combined with his acknowledged abilities* would have furnished to the cause a tower o strength which could bo found iu no other man in tho State. But we may bo regarded as of ficious in throwing ont these suggestions. We do not wish to be considered as committed to tho support of thU temperance movement under any circumstances." At present, says tho Georgia Citizen, we hare not time to say more than to declare our con viction that the Atlanta Temperance Conven tion wasnotan exponent of the wishes or views of tho Tomperance men of Georgia. From the official proceedings, we learn that, nominally, 29 counties were represented in that body, less than one third of the whole counties of the State* ’ { J . 5 i ! / A writer in the Cedar Town Union, who signs himself Temperance, thus deplores the action of tho Atlanta Convention : “I regret very much, thnt tho temperance men of' this place, and various other places, who woro opposed to nominating a candidate for Governor, to ran on the temperance ques tion, did not send delegates to that Convention, and therefore,have a voice in the matter. As it is, the majority, and a largo majority, too, have to submit to a movemont which, in their opinion, will do the cause, of temperance much harm. If the whole State had been represent ed in the Convention, I am sure that no candi date Would have been nominated." c ,_. Siinitar sentiments are expressed by a wri ter in the Albany Courier. Indeed, the extra- ordinary course of the Atlanta meeting, so far as wo have noticed, has not met with tbe ap probation *ofa single press in the State of any party, if we except the Temperance Banner. - - [Sonthern Recorder. • Married, on tho 22d insb, by tbe RerJA.

How to fight this new and growing party, seems to tax tbo ingenuity and invention of the shrewdest leaders and "organs of the'old ones. They find it consisting of men of all sorts of opinions in some matters, bnt who are'united on its main grand principles ; and when they are in the m idzt ofa straggle, to prove that the party in question is heterodox on this point, at the North, they are met with the re sponse—that so has been eveiy other party that ever oxtated in the republic; and then when, tuning round, they find that tbe tame new party ia at foult in the Sonth, they^dtacover that in this it is no worse off than . eveiy other that has preceded it And how, in their agony, they exclaim, can wefight such a party ? A short time ago, a portion of tbe press rang with tbe efy that the hew American party was an Abolition party/and the bng-a-boo story was raised that it was bat’ G&rrisonism, Theo dora Parkcrism and Wendell Phillipsism in dis guise. Seward the areh-abolitioniat, said these terrified organs, has been elected by know-noth ing votes, and Know-Nothingismis Abolition ism, "and nothing else." • ? But now that we find Lloyd Garrison," lector-. Ing in thO' Broadway Tabernacle against the Know Nothing, andabosing Houston/of Texas, oh ttie bear suspicion of having anything’ to do with then*;.now thatwe see Thnrlow Weed in the Albany’Evening Journal,and Horace Gree ley in the New York Tribune, blackguarding them as’"Hindoos ;" now that we discover Wm. H. Seward, who is In the field as the -Abolition candidate tee the next Presidency, making set speeches against them in the United States Senate, we find that tone changed, and the new pitclris on quite another key. Now it is religion. Do the Know Nothings mean to prescribe men for their religions belief? -is the cry. The first'cry of Abolitionism is giv en np, for the” Abolitionists are all dead against the new party, and as there is nothing in party polities, like “a good cry,” the now cry Is, the Know Nothings are down npon the Catholics ! And this "ory” will have its day, and, like the other, will in due time fade into the [faintest murmur, and eventually die ont in utter extinc tion. As we understand theuobject of the American party, is to divest the issue they present of all these outside considerations, and to present the naked questions,' whether Americans cannot govern America—whether the ballot has not become vitiated by a too lax construction of the taws of naturalization, and their practical application—whether the conseqnenee of this has not been that the real wish and understand ing, in the heart of this people, with regard to that whieh makes for their peace, their prosper ity, and tbeir welfare, has bad its conscientious and deliberate "utterance impeded by[the*facility with which onr taws, as they have been inter preted and administered, have been wrested to party purposes. A reform that strikes so deep, so radically as this, that goes down to the very basis of old a- buses, grown almost venerable by the practice of all parties alike, and boldly avows its object to be to topple them all over, Hke a dangerous ruin that threatens eveiy passerby, very natur ally excites the oppngnaney of those whose in terest it is to keep the old tottering struetnre standing os long as it can cover their otherwise defenceless heads, and-to perpetuate the abases by which they alone ran keep breath in their bodies. And thus we need not be at all sur prised to find demagogues exclaiming that "Tbe Know Nothings are Abolitionists in disguise!” while the Northern Abolitionists are denounc ing the samo Know Nothings as "iHndoos." Again, we .hear a great hue an^ cry raised against the new American party, on the ground that its supporters work in seeret! Another transparent piece of humbug, this 1 For what party that ever was known in this, or any oth er oountry, did not initiate its workings in se cret?

All the opposition to the American party tiiat is based upon this ground is cant and hypocri sy, and such the common sense of the people is daily discovering it to be. It cannot longer deceive, and the fact that it is kept np so for beyond the exposure’of its absurdity is a proof -, that it is the'last weapon ia the quiver of tho adversary. We do not believe that either it or its auxiliary arguments will mueh longer avail.
