Hon. G.. A. WIckLiFTE,
Postmaster General.

New YORK; January %, ls44.
The weather continues TO be exceedingly cold; but,
as spared from visitation Of snow, we get
along with it very comfortably; and, as Broadway
is as dry as a limekiln, without its dust, il is
crowded with all the beauty and loveness that are
to be found in il in midsummer Last night was the
coolest one have had this season, and produced ice
enough to last the world century.
If any Of landlords, the next summer, fail 10
have full supply Of ice to cool the thirsty million
they must charge the deficiency to their own negl-
gence and folly. The Sound is closed at Throg's
Neck and hence all commerce between this city and
the East is mpeted but hope that the icy embargo
will he raised in a day or two.
The advocates Of Mr.. Clay and the advocates of Mr.
Van Buren, are very busy in he field, and engaged
day and night in devising ways and means to carry
their Interior schemes into execution. Mr.. Clay's
friends the most ardent-Mr. Van Buren's the
most active and mischievous. Who shall win is
thing to be decided hereafter. Mr.. Clay's friends
sanguine so are Mr. Van Buren's. Who can tell
what will be the result
Some controversy has been had and is still being
had, in Maine and Massachusetts, in reference to the
Vice Presidency Some, and understand not few
of the New Englanders, are anxious that the Hon
GEORGE EVANS, Of Maine, should be the man, and
Others contend that the nomination should be confer
red on the Hon. John Davis
As have neither lot part in the matter it would
probably be deemed impertnent for me to say a
word on the subject and it is far from my wish 10
offer any advice in matter so delicate. Be this as
it may, il may not be on, of order to say that there
are, politics aside, few in this country superior
IN talents and intelligence TO GEORGE EVANS. Indeed
IN my opinion he may be justly regarded of the
ablest men Of the times. | see, however, by the
tone Of The Boston Atlas, and from the evidences
that adduced by the Wings of Maine themselves,
that MIR. Evans is to be set aside for Mr.. Davis
There may be, however, an appeal from tins deci-
sion by the Wings of Maine.
Balls, operas, and galas the order Of the day,

The theological controversy between Doctor Potts
and Doctor Wainwright, is still in progress; but as
the public is opposed to it, it creates but little feeling

TYRANNY RESISTED.

The true Democracy Of Illinois are heartily
denouncing the Globe for meddling, in most
impairment manner, with their State concerns.
They regard the Globes insinuation that the
Democracy can be bought with British gold, "
ss an affrdnt not TO be borne, and TO be indig-
nantly and "ns,antly repetled." The Globe,
in the name of the Jacobin Club, having ere
PEELED Tyler help" now finds itself "repeled" by
the Democracy OF Illinois.
The Jacobin Club will not consent, without
great reluctance. for the enormous debt of Illinois
10 be removed, during this Administration
They do not desire TO see the People relieved OF
their burdens, put on them during Mr.. Van Blu
ren's Administration, while Mr. Tyler is at The
head Of affairs. They would rather see them
repudiate. But we are rejoiced 10 learn that
the Democracy Of Illinois are determined not to
resort to Reputation, and will very soon make
ample arrangements to ensure an honorable H.
quidaaon of the State debt.
How long, we ask, how long will the Repub-
lican party of the United States tolerate the un.
principled Jacobn faction, Of which the Globe
is the peculiar organ2 How long will such a

its corruption and tyranny will penetrate tn,
heart of the party and destroy it. AS long a.
the Democratic party is honest and pure, it mus
be invincible. When it is overthrow, its dis
aster must surely be attributed to criminal de
parture from the landmarks of our Republican
forefathers. Such was the case in 1910. Shsl

THE ADMISSION OF TEXAS.

IL is the constant effort OF SOME men TO ian
sectional jealouses, in order 10 sway the public
mind TO their purposes. In this way, The ad-
mission Of Texas into the Union has constantly
been represented as measure upon which the
Southern People were eagerly bent, that 'hey
might enlarge the boundaries aud the influence
of slavery. But nothing is farther from 'he
truth. The enlargement of slavery Influences
if that were ever important, is not so now, Tor II
is perfeely clear that the free States 10 hold
an unconI reliable sway, and that Texas eou''
not alter the case at all. The truth Is, the
Southern country cares very hltle about the mat
Ter and SO we think il is in the North and West
The Eastern States are chiefly interested IN H.
To admit Texas would enlarge the jurisdiction
of New York and Lowell. Its produce would
come here, and its supplies go hence; and this
is the chief importance which there is ABOUT
the subject. Ii is a matter OF free trade, when
is really the great bond Of union. Here are
twenty six nations living together, enjoying The
boundess blessings Of free trade This is the
bond of union; this The chief blessing which II
brings u.s. All the nations OF the world will one

free trade. Each will retain lis own legislature
and government, as do our States; but trade
will go everywhere, without monopoly or HIM
drance. Let, then, the citizens OF The United
States look at the question of admitting Texas.
if they will look al il at all, in its true light
not as piece Of Southern policy against the
North, but as question of the extension OF the
Union merely, by which the chief benefits will
always accrue TO the commercial and manuiac-
turing districts.

THE L.ENEE.

The second Levee of the PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES, held on Tuesday evening, was
still more numerously attended than the last,
Notwithstanding the weather was cold and bois-
ferrous. Every body seemed TO evince unat-
fected delight on the occasion; indeed, on all
such occasons, the frapkness Of the PRESIDENT,
his plain Republican manners, and The cordial
attentions Of his family, never fail TO elicit the
admiration Of the assemblage. A new feature
was presented-a portion of the company took
advantage OF the enlivening strains Of music
from the Marine Band, and amused themselves
by dancing, with much grace, several cotillions.

Williamsburg and Philadelphia, in l776, would have
been this question, which is now permitted in what
was intended to be a hall Of deliberation, daily TO
occupy much Of the time OF Congress. How is
this Where is the spirit of 1867 II is not extinct
There signs not to be Mistaken that there is a
spirit arousng this subject which will in due time
make negroism, and the negro know their proper
position in our body polite, and in our American
society.
There are causes of maligni,y and hostility which
take their origin entirely in private passionsin the
attachments enmities, Interests hopes and fears, Of
leading individuals in the communities Of which they
are members. Men of this class have, in too many
instances, abused the confidence they possessed sand
assuming the pretext Of some public motive, have not
scrupled to sacrifice the national tranquility to per-
sonai advantage or personal qualification

Even in the days of Washington, The " Fla

sidential nominations. That body took the res
possibility of rejecting the nomination of John
Rutedge, of South Carolina, for Chief Justice,
made by President Washington. John Tyler
need not expect to be treated by the Senate
with more consideration and courtesy than was
George Washington. We trust that President
Tyler will nominate for members of his Cabi-
net no one but his tried and staunch friends, al
ways having in view their moral worth and ca
pacily for the places assigned them. This, he
should INSIST upon, and it is ungenerous in the
Senate 10 attempt 10 control, or TO deny hun
this right. He should, and we doub, not he
will, adhere 10 this, come what may, and the
people will sustain him in it,
