respondent Ii contains matter OF the highest inter
est TO every American
Tho Next Foreign News-Lightning Express
es-Newspaper Enterprises.
We mentioned, yesterday, that the enterprising
proprietors OF the Boston and New York magnetic
telegraph line have IN contemplation TO make ar
engagements to transmit the English news by the
next steamer at Boston, to this city
This evinces desire on their part 10 serve the
public, and we hope that it Will be properly appre-
clated Although it cannot be expected that the
next news will be Of such importance 10 the COM
merclal world as the last was still il will be looked
tor with great interest," and read with avidity. The
conduct OF the proprietors Is more commendable,
from the fact that their line will not be In permanent
working order by the time the steamship arrives,
and they will make temporary arrangements for The
express purpose OF transmitting the to this city
II the same amount Of energy and perseverance as
characterize this company, had been brought into
requlston by the other magnetic telegraph lines,
we would, before this time have had an electric COM
municanon with the principal Southern, Northern
and Eastern cities, which would have been OF in
calculable advantage to the country.
Ibe Boston and New York company are trying
hard to send the next news as soon as II arrives
New York; at least; and for that purpose are making
arrangements TO send il the press generalIy-to no
one IN partlcularso that there will be no opportu
nifty Tor spectators to fleece the community II they
cannot send the news all the distance, they will do
SO as far as their arrangements will have been COM
pleted, and run steamboat express the remainder
of the way 10 this city
We, therefore, think we shall trust to lightning for
the next news; for, although we have made the short
est time on record between Boston and New York,
we are rather OF opinion that we cannot 20 cad Of
lightning. In case, however, that the Holy Alliance
should desire to make another tremendous effort :
irrespective Of the lightning line, to beat the
"damned Herald" they are pleased to call it, we
would recommend them 10 take up with our last ar
rangement, and run over the Long Island Railroad
That road, for speed, stands next to the magnetic
telegraph, and they may perchance, run in "seven
FIVE" from Bostoa
II being our intention, however, to throw our
whole dependence for the next news upon the light
ming line, the " Holy Alliance" will have to contend
against time, and not the Nen York Herald.

Who IA to no the Next President !-Tlmely
Notice.
The movements a, Washington, and the changes
IN the position and policy Of the two great polit
bic curiosity in the public mind, in relation to the
next grand presidential campaign.
It is matter of much doubt what will be the
course adopted concentrate the strength of each
party, and bring about that unity of purpose and
ton SO necessary TO ensure success. It is possible
and very probable that all the usual plans will be
abandoned; that there will be no convention held
by either party, and that each candidate will be
hafn tbac I'D Il
tons, or any other Of the old systems of nomina-
ton. This will bring forward great many candi-
dates for the office in view, which may defeat the
election Of either by the people, and throw the mat
Ter into the House of Representatives.
The leaders oil some of the numerous ciiques that
exist In both partles anxious to create division
IN the ranks that will bring about that result; and the
prospect at present. certainly favorable for such
movement 1t is admitted that the two parties re-
qure re-organiz atlon-that the principle of success
sion has exploded, and that 1t has become necessary
10 make choice of one, more identified with, and
more recently from the people, than has heretofore
bsen considered desirable or necessary. That
point being pretty clearly settled, it is matter Of
much interest TO know who are the leading or most
prominent individuals before the country. In
case, however, the whole matter should settle
the point most desirable. General Winfield Scott.
of New York, and General Lewis Cass, OF MI
chigan, stand upon about the same grounds,
and can be considered the most prominent can
didates OF the two parties. The military repu-
fation Of these individuals must give each the
popularity invariably created by military character.
These candidates would present singular political
contest to the American people, after peace of
thirty years.
The people Of this country have ever exhibited
great enthusiasm, when military chieftarn has
been presented tor their sufrages, for any office !;
and that enthusiasm will, without doubt, be carried
to greater extent, in the event of there being two
military heroes nominated for the same office.
Political questions lose their importance when
other matters connected with the personal history
of the parties, can be made available. Party lines
not strictly drawn now, and may not be at the
next presidential election, as they have heretofore
been. II will, therefore, be necessary get up the
proper feeling and excitement by some other means,
and nothing would prove so effective as to nominate
military or naval men.
We find the two parties in Congress divided upon
almost every question presented. A strict party
vote is among those things that were. There is as
much bitterness Of feeling, and as much opposition
among the leaders, ever; but take he majority OF
the representatives, and they assimaie TO each
other more than at any period since the time Of Pre-
sident Monroe. The vote upon the Oregon notice
resolutions, in the House, this session and las-the
division upon the tariff, upon the Sub Treasury and
all other great questions under consideration, in
duce to believe and hope that party spirit has lost
much OF Its animosity, and that hereafter there will
be less Of that feeling which has heretofore been SC
disgraceful to both parties.
Although Miller's famous Tabernacle in Boston
hasjust been destroyed by fire, let hope that the
world is not yet near its end.
