OF this metropolis. We expect remarkable scenes
In the approaching conventions If they be not dis
crediable and dsgracefu to the country, will be
miracle. Look at the miserable controversies
IN this great State, between the old hunkcrs and
the barnbumers-the abuse the ephets, the false
hoods, which the journals of the two factions are
using towards each other. Almost the same state
OF things exists between the two great parties, and
between the various candidates and their support
ers. af.I
The principal cause of this decentralization
among the politicians of the day-be they wings or
democrats-ansesfromt their ravenous appetites for
the spoils During the last two years. the policy of
the President has increased the annual expendi-
lures of the government nearly fifty or sixty mil
lions of dollars, which vast amount of money is
extracted from the people of the United States, in
the shape of taxes; and the confederacy of po
liticlans nothing but the most currupt and
sual plunderers and pensioners on the public and
the industry of the country Our foreign affairs in
connection with Europe, present an unsettled look;
and instead of any dimnuton of taxation for the
next few years, there is every prospect of 1t in
creasing to sixty, eighty, or perhaps hundred
millions of dollars, which will be taken, in the
form of taxes, from the pockets of the industrious
masses of the people.
Is not this narrowing picture to look upon {?
What will the democratic or wing convention do
TO stay these terribly increasing expenditures of
the country-this waste of the industry of the
land lls

OUR FOREIGN CoRRESPoNDENcE.-Som ONE of our
contemporaries are boasting prodigiously of the
splendor and magnifcence of their foreign cores
pondence. Without much Boosting, we think we
may place our foreign correspondence little
ahead OF that of any other journal
The foreign correspondence of the Courier aud
Enquirer is generally too much imbued with the
exclusive and aristocratc notions of the English
and European aristocracy to be able to give cor
rect views of the popular movements in those
quarters. That of the Tribune is so ultra and vi
sionay to be utterly worthless for all practical
purposes. The only reliable foreign letters which
have appeared here in the newspapers, so far, are
those which have been published in the columns of
the Herald These, from all parts of Europe, are
either the production of sound-hearted Americans
acquainted with their own country and foreign
affairs, or they written by liberal and enlight
ened writers, favorable to the popular in Eu-
rope, and not opposed to the new movements max
ing there.
For the accuracy of these remarks we may fear
lessy appeal to the general character of the foreign
correspondence which has appeared in CO.
lumns since the breaking out of the late revolutions
in Europe.

SUIT AGAINST THE Ex-OPERA MANAGERS We
understand that several of the subscribers are pre-
pairing to bring suit at law against the late Opera
managers and propretors, for the recovery of the
subscription money advanced upon certain condi-
tlons namely-of giving so many operas-which
conditions have been violated by the recen,
breaking up of the Opera.
This suit will be very curious affair. Under
the new code of practice, it is probable the coun-
sci engaged will, at the commencement of the suit,
obtain an order of the court for the examination
of the managers and propretors at the instance Of
the prosecutors. A number of curious questions
would, no doubt, grow out of such an investiga
ton, such as the following:-
"Did you receive the money paid by the sub
scribers for eighty nightsl'
"What did you do with that moneyp'
"Was any of II given TO the churchl''
"Did you ever visit the dressing room behind
the curtainsP
''Did you ever let out your box, retained as ma
mayer or proprietor, for half prce!" and on and
so on.
This suit will certainly bring out some curious
Developments. We wait with some Impotence
for its commencement.
