The Grand Fete to the Representatives Of
France and England.
We have before stated that il has been proposed
10 give grand fee to Lord Ashburon on his ARRIVAL
in this city, in honor of the completion OF the new
treaty between England and this country
This movement is one OF considerable magnitude,
and even momentous Importance IN several points
of view Ii is worthy the serious consideration of
all who take the least interest in the preservation of
the peace commercial friendship and terms of amity
now existing between the three greatest nations in
hrstendom-France, England, and the United
States
Tn. celebration of this Jete at this time will be a
singular coincidence, whilst we have three yes
.r' N f wing side by side In our beautiful harbor.
. rnmg these three great powers-the Conner,
ia. Ngrstl.e and the North Carolina The one
brought out Lord Ashburton, who ever since his ar
rival has been most intenty engaged in settling the
relative affairs OF two great nations which have been
in mserably unsettled state ever since the close of
the Revolutionary war, and in securing TO the two
counriesa lasting peace and an amicabe adjustment
OF all those difficulties and grievances which brought
about the last war; and which the millions of blood
and treasure, sacrificed in that disastrous war; failed
TO effect.
AT the same time we have the French Govern
ment sending of her best steam ships, the CO.
mer, with commissioners TO open with this country
most valuable and comprehensive commercial in
tercourse that shall be productive of intellectually
useful results to both nations politically, socially
and commercially. There were eight of these
Commissioners sent to our shoresby the Government
al France and thev have now bean activelv en,-
ployed for some weeks in collecting vast amount
ofimportant information that will be useful to both
countries, and taking the preparatory step to last
ing and immensely valuable commercial intercourse
and negotiation between the two countries. In
connection with this matter the President has made
communication to Congress, stating the objects
and desires of the French Government and the
beneficial results that might flow from the contem-
plated measures And the probability is that by
quiet unostenaious system of mutual legislation the
two countries will be placed upon better footing in
relation to their commercial intercourse, and feel
ings OF friendship, than by all the tedious and ex-
pensive treaties that ever could be concooted.
All these events, it will be seenare of remarkable
Importance at this moment. And there can be no
better time, place, opportunity, than in New
York-immedlatey after the arrival of Lord Ash
burton hereto get up most magnificent tte
dinner, or bal-(say at Castle Garden) in honor Of
their occurrence; and also for the purpose OF draw
ing the minds of the people of this City, and State
and of the whole country, TO the innumerable ad
vantages resulting TO us from the consummaon of
this treaty and these movements, securing as they
do a lasting peace and an extended commerce be-
tween these three great nations
Such fffe-such movement, for such high
and ennoblng purposes would be one worthy of the
people OF this city and country. 1t would most pro-
perly and most eectually oberate the disgraceful
toadylsm paid by parUenueS, small paragraphsts and
bankrupts, to literary bagmen, itinerant noveliss,
and wandering penny-a-liners. 1t would be for a
great national occasion-and should be great ma
tional festival given a style worthy of the me-
tropolis of the naiion-New York On such an oc-
caslon all public officers and all the British and
French officers and authorities now amongst u.s. |
should be present to grace it, In addition to ALL
this Congress will probably ad loum in few days,
In which event the President himself, and some of
the leading members of both great political parties,
could be present celebrate an event in which all
have done their part to bring the same to success
ful and happy termination.
In view ofthis therefore we call upon our public a-
thorities-we call upon all distinguished and worthy
persons in private life, particularly those who made
to come out now, upon this truly national occasion, |
and do something in order to wipe away the folly of |
their former doings, and to make their fellow-citi-
zens respect them for the rest of their lives Should
they be so silly to hang back now, after having
almost defed a literary bagman, we certainly shall
be compelled to publish all the tricks connected |
with the Boz ball and Boz dinner affairs, and give |
the names of those who then made fools of them
selves attull length, without benefit of clergy.
ARRIVAL ExTRAoRD1yARY-The celebrated Ge- |
neral John Cooke Bennett, arrived in this city yes
terday, HE'S preparing to publish book, which is |

phet Joe Smiths secret system of wives-their mode
OF warfare-tactics-c civil and religious government
with various other curious and perfectly original
matters. 1t will be of the richest brochures that
ever emanated from the press of any country

PERSECUTION FOR OPINIONS SAKE-The ancient |
days of persecution for avowal of an honest |
opinion, appears to have been revived and no doubt
the world is rolling backwards. Last evening the |
memorable number of IS democratic city watch |
men, who have been discharged by the wings, to |
make room for their friends, marched by our office,
