Fas est 81 ab hosis docsn. A correspondent Of the
Baltimore Patriot" tells Of letter lately written
by Mr.. Clay, in which he strongly urges the advice
that 'uPon the presidential question there should be
no public agitation in regard to men, until far dis
tant day" This il good and true counsel. Let US
take il. even of an enemy. All premature advoca-
icy Of "he claims" Of this or that presidential can
didae Is more less hurtful 10 the interests Of the
democratic party-stl more injurious TO the candi-
date himself The success and integrity ofthe par
ty are too important to be hazarded needlessy for
the sake of any man. &
The official returns from the State on governor
and lieutenant governor are complete. The whole
vote is ,9s9-falling off from 1874 $4,000 nearly,
OF which the federal loss is about $4,000, or fifteen
per cent democratic loss about $4,000, or twenty
two per cent This tells the whole story We
have beaten ourselves. Young's majority is Ii 425;
Gardeners over Fish is 1875 Gardiner lead.
Young on the whole vote 2,2OO and upwards,
which would have been Wnght's majority, anti
rent and ALL but for the scratches given him in his
own party. 45l. 10 ga. 10 sH....ssr. ~, =

pliedy, on Mr. Websters own authority the ut
teranee by him, in his speech at Boston, the obi
GUS eslumny on the American people, | have been
intending TO notice the contradiction, as aided in
circulating the charge although the mistake did APP
pear to me a singular one. But the editor of the
"Boston Times"-who was one Of Mr.. Webster's
hearcrs-has, on the other hand, positively affirmed
that the language attributed TO him was used. One
is constrained, therefore, to the conclusion that the
''godlike" has winksd-nodded, Joye-lke--at a
very shabby Justification the part of his friends
to rid him Of the consequences Of declaration
made in rash moment. ......
The Portsmouth IN. H. paper gives detailed
account of new steam factory in progress Of cree
ton there at il to be about hundred feet long,
forty wide, two stories in height, and is to be built
Of wood. II will probably be completed, and the
spindes put in motion before the large brick factory
gets into full operation. Il is calculated exclusive.
y for spinning and will contain between three and
four thousand spindes" Since the new tariff is Ger.
ainly to bring "run" on tho factories, il seems tc
me the manufacturers need not spend quite SO much
money on new mills, machinery &c, for the pur-
pose ofproying it. .... ...
The Tribune" has got long story about ire
mendous secret organization Of rum sellers through
out the State, by which majority Of the members
elected the legislature have been pledged to re-
peal CT the license law. Though | doubt exceed
ingly the policy, or the consttutionaity even, OF
this odious enactment, which reviyes in our days
all the worst features OF the tyrannica sumptuary
laws Of old Rome, or the blue laws Of old Connecti-
cut, yet think it must be that the Tribune" has
merely discovered a "mare's nest" The pledges
exist only in its heated imagination. No other pa
per has the news.
The Yiennoise children Immediately on their ar
rival by the Yorkshire, went in body to the Park
theatre to report themselves. They walked two
and two, and formed quite an infantry company, I'M
der command OF Madame Weiss and staff of six
leutenants. They are all young and small, except
two, who are between fifteen and sixteen, and are
pretty. Soldier-like, each Of the little adven-
turers carried her whole baggage in small valise.
They are at present lodging all together in house
in Centre street, where their forty-6ve beds occupy
two vast dormItories. They will appear on next
Monday night, and the sightseeing public is all on
the qui pips for them.
Gen. Cass was in Albany last Saturday. His
friends in this city expect him here about the end
of this week onhis way to Washington.
