respect to themselves in dividually; if they do,
they are wofully mistaken. They are respected
just as much as they can be used to the advantage

| Let us explain. This unfortunate city of New
York is inflicted with chques Of hungry, voracious
office seekers and plunderers, who are cternally
on the look out for an Office d contract, or cop
of any description, which they will beg for as
7 a hungry dog will for bone, and devour it with
the same avidity as skeleton spaniel would
pound of beef. The moment any person ofinflence
in Washington announces his determination to
come to New York, no matter whether on plea
sure or business, these voracious sharks hold
a caucus and set their wits to work about get
ting up dinner to him; and in the preparation
of which, they will of course Inquire very con-

IMPORTANT POLITICAL MEETINGS ON FooT.-
The symptoms are very significant in this city,
that the two great parties mean to take up, res
pectively, Henry Clay and Martin VanlBuren, as
their candidates for the Presidency In the ap-
preaching election. The democratic press here
are evidently in favor of Mr.. Van Buren, as their
candidate, in preference to Mr.. Polk, or any other
man. meeting of this party will be held for
the selection of standing committees tomorrow,
and we think we shall be able to decide by that
election that Van Buren, is the man of the demo-
cracy here. On the other side of the question,
the wings appear DESTROYS of going for Clay In
Williamsburg, one of our faubourgs beyond the
East River, great meeting was recently held,
at which that distinguished politician, Joseph
Hoxie, made one of his famous speeches, and
Mr. Clay was put forth as the candidate and the
embodiment of the wing party. Another great
meeting is to be held on Monday, it having been
postponed from Thursday to that day-all in favor
of Mr. Clay. The wing politicians in this re-
gon seem to be decidedly against Gen. Taylor
and Gen. Scott, and in favor of Mr.. Clay. How
long this will last, one can tell.
SOUTHAMPTON AND BaKMKN STEAMKRs.-The
| Southampton and Bremen Ocean Steam Nayi.
CATION Company, will cause the keel of the third
steamer to be laid Immediately, and all possible
| despatch used to complete her.
| The encouragement in the way of an increas-
| ed trade on the other side of the Atlantic, and
| the success which has already attended the
| progress OF the company, has given additional
| animation to their efforts, and they are now de-
| termlned, having the facilities and the encou-
ragemcnt, to carry out their original intention,
without delay and Of concentrating, to the let
ter, their contrast with the government.
The attempts of some of the English papers to
undervalue the stock. by misrepresentation and
falsehoods Of all kinds, can best be answered by
comparing the last freight and passenger list OF
the Washington, with the steamers which sailed
about the same time. 1t is the most conclusive
refutation we can give
The Hermann, second in the line, will be so
fur completed as to make trial trip some time
next month, and will leave on her first voyage
on the 10th February.

noon la our notice yesterday, respecting the
trade in which this vessel is to be employed we
should have mentioned that she, as well as the
other vessels in the line, will touch at Havana,
both on her outward and homeward passages.
IL is the intention of the owners to start her on
her first trip in March next.
The CHARLESTON SIsAMERs.-The Southerner
will not make another trip until early in Feb

rips as usual.

THEATRICAL.-The thr &c great theatres, which
consider themselves fashionable, and charge a
dollar, accordingly, are how engaged in one of
the most interesting cut-t hrOat games that can be
possibly imagined. The uptown fashonablcs
patronise The Astor Opera, and the downtown
fashionables are divided between the Park and
the Broadway theatres. Another has come into
the ield-the beautiful Augusta, at Palmo's
Opera House, which, under her management,
promises to take distinguished part in the
contest. On Monday night, the attendance at
each of these three houses was Insignificant
hardly one of them paid expenses. Attwo of
them Italian Opera was presented, and In very
good style, too. The Astur Place Opera has very
extensive company, complete in all its parts; but
it is also very expensive. and ifthey continue open
for the whole of the son, it will be miracle
The Broadway theatre is struggling with its des-
tiny, and trying to ests bllsh character without
resorting to horses. The Park is probably in
worse condition; for it seems to have nothing of
a fashionable character to attract attention, and
we suppose it will have to bring out some large
horses as stars, or some fat children, or some
other lusus nature of some kind or other, unless
the manager can get Grisi or Mario, or catch
Rubin on his journe to Havana, or the famous
Keller family of naked figures, who produced so
great sensation in Paris last year, when we
were there. One of those three theatres must
shut up very soon-cwo of them will have their
throats cut soon, and we would not be surprised
if all three were laid on their beam-ends before
long. The Astor Place Opera, from the money con-
tributed by subscription, may continue the last in
the field. The Broadway is in singularly
doubtful condition; btt the fate of the Park
seems to be absolutely sealed. When Augusta
comes out with the beautiful ballet, we shall
see what we shall see- ...a
While thus lettering fortunes have pursued
the fashionable theatres it is astonishing to see
how the cheap theasres--the Bowery, the Chat
ham, and even the dirty Olympic and
make money. On Monday night, while the
Broadway hardly paid expenses, the Bowery was
overwhelmingly and suhocatingly full. Levi
North, the famous equestrian, both rider and
steed immortal in their names, created greater
sensation and collected greater audience than
| all the prima donnas from Italy ever did at the
Broadway or Astor Place Opera. 1t is true, it is
| only twenty-five cents head at the Bowery; but
cheapness and enthusiasm seem to 60 together
| at those theatres.
Judging, Thereof" from appearances, the fash
ionable theatres IN New York seem to be in a
very unhappy condition, and the sooner that
some of them have recourse to horses and stage
| tumbling, the more profitable 1t will be for the
| treasures.

IMPORTANT DlNNkk
We find in the party papers Of yesterday, some
highly important dinner correspondence, which
has recently taken place between some of our
citizens, and one ofithe official editors. and the
Secretary of the Navy, inviting the latter to par
take of hasty plate of soup in this city.
AS there is more in this correspondence than
the public, or even great many of the signers
of it, are aware of, we publish it in full for the
purpose of making few appropriate remarks on
the real objects which were at the bottom of
the movement, and informing some Of the gen.
tlemen who figure among the namesrot the
committees, how nicely they have been taken
in and used, to subserve the ends and views of
few ofice-seekers and contract diggers.

the committee and Major Hess, Of the Union-

people hostile feeling, which broke out, proba.
bly,, first in the war against Texas. One step
led to another. BY the declaration of inde-
pendence Of Texas, counter feeling was
produced on the part of Mexico; but II is not me-
cessary to repeat those historical facts which
originated the differences between the two peo-
pie, for they are known to the whole world
Technically, Lord Paine rston and Mr.. Guizot,
the London press and the Paris press, together
with Mr. Clay and the wing press in this coun-
try, may be right in ascribing the first act of hos
tility on the Rio Grande, to the movements Of
Mr.. Polk in giving orders TO General Taylor; but
on the question OF general morality between the
American and Mexican republic, or between the
American people and the Mexican people, the ba-
lance of good faith and honesty of intention, Is
decidedly in favor of the United States, and
against Mexico. Mexico commenced her in
dependence with bad faith, outrage, barbarism,
ignorance and folly, all perpetrated towards the
people Of the United States. Her people are in-
capable Of self-govenment; they are in the po-
sition of mad man owning house that borders
near or is connected with that of>a man of sense;
and the man of sense is compelled, in self-de-
fence, and on the general principles of good
sense and sound morality, to take the mailman
under his charge. r.
We have, thus far, as people as nation, con-
quered Mexico, and probably we shall retain her.
The nations of Europe and the journals of Eu-
rope, afraid at the progress OF this country, may
denounce us in the broadcast terms, as immoral,
unjust, barbarous, and everything else. Mr..
Clay and the leading Journals of the wing party,
may do the same thing; but it remains yet to be
ascertained whether the balance Of good faith is
not in favor of the United States.
