of one, and the continued prosperity Of the other.
We certainly cannot think that a war which
would be thus ruinous to both, will be rashly en-
tered into by those two great countries, who are
foremost in commerce and all the arts that adorn
civilization, no matter what shape the Oregon
question may assume under the workings of politi.
clans and panic Makers but rather that the states.
men and patriots Of both countries, will unite, hear
and hand, in drawing tighter the bonds between
them, SO that the fullest advantages that will arise
from the new commercial revolution that Is now
dawning upon the world may be enjoyed by each,

liberated, and an emulation created that will result

lization of the species
The CHARTER ELECTION doubts which fill
ed the minds OF the great democratic party but z
few days since, in regard to their candidate for
Mayor, are now solved, and Mr.. Andrew II.
Mickle "a respectable tobacco merchant" has been
duly nominated for that office.
A very curious state Of things, however, still ex-
lists In the party, which threatens to cause some
thing of break its ranks, unless the wounds are
healed. The nomination Of Mr.. Mickle was made
on Tuesday evening last. The convention then ad-
journed until Thursday evening, for the purpose Of
receiving the acceptance Of their candidate Thurs
day night came, but a quorum of the convention
which had nominated him could not be brought to.
gether, to receive the formal &C ptance of Andrew
H. Mickle, as their candidate for Mayor-so that
Mr.. Mickle has not yet accepted the nomination,
The secret of the inability on the part Of the con-
venton to get together quorum, lies. undoubtedly
In the fact, that many members of the convention,
being adopted citizens. recollect the fact OF Mr..
Mickle having some time since declared himself
native American, to the inhabitants of his ward
The Sixth ward committee, which would not be
received by the General Committee at Tammany
Hall, and which controls majority of the votes in
that ward, have put in nomination j. Sherman
Browne as Mayor, and Charles H. Vultee for Alder
man OF the ward. Unless this wound in the great
democratic party is healed previous to the election,
1t may considerably lessen the chance of that parys
success Another division has taken place IN the
Ath ward, where George H. Purser is nominated as
candidate for Alderman in opposition to Joseph A.
Diver, the regular Tammany nominee.
| In the meantime, the wing party have selected q
candidate for Mayor, supposed to be well known
for frmness, honesty, and independence. His
chance OF success would be good, were it not tina,
Mr.. w. B. Cozzens has resisted all the efforts made
to cause his resignation, and declares most unequi-
vocaly that he will run, If he receives no vote but
his own.
In this aspect of things, we expect some fun the
18th of April next. Below we give the regular de.
mocratic candidates for Mayor and Aldermen, the
Aims House Commissioner not being yet nominal
ed. The other tickets are not nearly complete, but
the nominations will probably all be made within
few days.

OCEAN STEAMSHIPS. AMERICAN LINES 1T seem
to be more certain, since the publication of tn
report OF Mr. HIliard in favor of the mail steam
ers, that there will soon be an "American Line @
Sea Mail Steamers" and the probability is, that il
few years, all the mails from this country will
be conveyed in our own steam packets.
We find in the Union OF the Sd inst, the fol
lowing paragraph relative TO this subject:
letter from the North states that the ssteam route
Il which Col JOHNSON has selected, Is decidedly pop
ular in New York and Boston. The Postmaster Gene
rails letter to Congress, upon the subject 10 entel!

1t is to be hoped that all this will prove true, ami
be carried out. II has been settled that oceal
steamships, when properly managed, and convey

much so, indeed, as any ocean enterprise, in thes
days Of competition, can be.
