New York will be thrown out of the estimate for the
campaign.
John Y. Mason is mentioned among the candidates
for the Vice Presidency the Cass ticket
There has been good deal of letter writing between
the delegates and the candidates.
The South are inaexible against any thing like q
holding back on the Wilmot provso
The two-thirds rule is the only danger to Gen Cas-
but his more sanguine friends willing to risk it,
On the wing side. the Taylor stock is at stand,
while Clay gains little every day, and Scott little
more.

NEUTRAL JOURNALS AND PoLlTIcs.-The Wash
ington correspondent of the North american makes
furious onset on the neutral journals published in
the large cities, because they give certain views,
and inculcae certain doctrines in reference to po-
tics not in strict accordance with those that cha
racterize the particular coieric to which that cor
respondent belongs. We think such censure is un
deserved. Politicians and their organs, of the two
great parties, ought to know that the independent
press, which has been growing up for the last few
years in New York, Philadelphia, Boston, and
Baltimore, are the natural revolution of the age,
of intellect against intrigue, of mental indepen-
dence against political Observation-Disclosures and
charlatanism, which had for too long and antece-
dent period controlled the newspaper press of our
large cities. The time was when the political
leaders of the two parties could throw chains
over the press, and make it speak as they spoke,
and be silent when they wished it to be silent.
That time is past. The independent press of our
great cities hold now a stronger and more power
full position than the political leaders, their
candidates for the Presidency themselves. 1t is
mind, acting through an independent press, on the
independent mind of the country, not owning or
acknowledging allegiance to ciiques or lotteries of
scoundrelly politicians Will the Washington cor
respondent of the North american be pleased to
understand his own position, and that of the neu-
tai press!

The population, in this table, on which the es,i-
mate is founded, is taken from very accurate
statistical work published in Paris last year, and
therefore contains the latest returns. 1t is known
that during the last Presidential election in this
country, over three millions of votes were taken in
population of less than twenty millions From
this population might be deducted the whole slave
population of the South, numbering about three
millions. AT the presidential election in Novem-
Der next, 1t is probable that the vote will exceed
four millions. The whole population of this coun-
try is at this moment, very likely over twenty mil
lions, and may approach twenty-five millions
The comparison, therefore, between the number
Of votes taken in France and in the United States.

On this basis we have made probable estimate
of the whole number of voters in France, and the
number of votes poled at the recent election This

The composition of the Assembly resembles, in

THE WHITE HOUSE PowER-We have heard
great deal of executive patronage and the wings
tell those who will listen TO them, that the Presl-
dent of the United States possesses more patronage
and irresponsible power than any monarch of Eu-
rope.
We doubt this very much, and are inclined to
think that those who assert it, doubt il as much
themselves. But we shall soon see The time tor
the test is come, when it will be seen if the Pres
dent has really so much power as is attributed to
him.
We hold it to be undenable that Mr.. Polk has
ambition. Why not He is man; and who can
blame him for ii We hold it as undeniable that
if he can keep possession of the White House for
another four years, he will do it. Why not 1t is
comfortable house, and who can blame him for
it! The question, then is, can he do it! We shall
see. If what is SO much talked of by politi-
clans, of the undue power and influence fthe Pre-
sdent be true then having power once in his hands
he will be able to retain it. If, therefore, having
the will, he does not retain his place. then he has
not the power to do so and then all that has been
said of the overwhelming preponderance, nfu
ence, patronage and power of President of the
United States, signifies nothing.
We are rather inclined to the opinion that Pre-
sident Of the United States has not all the power
which he ought to have, n or is he treated with all
the respect with which he ought to be treated

STEALING WITHOUT AN ARREST.-We recently
charged the Express newspaper with stealing our
reports, during anniversary week; and that paper
has had the audacity, not only to deny the charge,
but to retort, and say that we-the Ne,c York He
raid" fched, body and breeches, the Express re-
port of the Fourier Meeting" To this we have q.
word to say in reply. We deny, most unequivo-
cally, the charge which it makes; and reiterate,
most positively, that which we have made against
that VIGOROUSLY dishonest paper, in the way OF
filching our matter-which costs us time and
money-and publishing it as their own The re-
port of the Fourier meeting, to which it aludes,
and which appeared in our paper, was made at oui
expense-written in our Office the very day or
which the meeting in question took place; but, in
consequence of want of room, was not published
for day or two afterwards. This we can prove
by the gentleman who reported that meeting, and
by others in our establishment. So much for that
point; now for the other. We reiterate our charge
against the Express; and We dare them to deny
that they took the report Of the anniversary of the
American Home Missionary Society-of some
thing like a column and two-thirds in length-from
our paper, and published it, verbatim, in the Err.
press, as their own. To be sure, they added two
hymns, which were sung on the occasion, in order
to deceive the public with the cheat; but we dare
them to deny that they appropriated the report in
question, aud published it as their own.
The tables will indeed be turned, when the
Herald condescends to take reports from the Err
pvess-whch is nothing but piece Of patchwork,
like an old womans quilt, made up of scraps and
patches from every paper in the Union.

WHAT AN IDEA!-We see a new work, adver-
fised under the hOnored name of S. I. Coleridge,
entitled TIE Idea Of Life. Now, we want TO know
which idea OF life this is. There are SO many
ideas of life
There is the politician idea Of life "a good cry,
a quiet constituency, friendly newspaper, and a
permanent place.
There is the young lady's idea of life:-pleasant
balls, eligible offers, good settlement, place IN
the Morning Post, and 8 fashionable circle to
move in.
There is the man about towns idea Of life:-a
dog-cart, cab, and park hack, the entree o. the
couIisses, tick at a tailor's, good tap" of Ha-
vannahs the right club, and a bowling acquaintance
with every body.
There is the gents idea of life, avernacular YER
sion of the last-a seat on drag to EPSON, lark
with :" the gals" at the Casino, a stunning"
choker, Greenwich fair regularly, latch-keys and
a good natured mother 10 stand between her boy
and the goseFnor, and g tip now and then.
There is the actors idea Of life, in which the
bles, and its great pleasure assisting in actors
triumphs
There is the servant girls idea Of life:-one long
day out with |" the journeyman."
There is the sehoolboy's idea Of liie:-no lessons
and free access to an inexhaustible cake-shop.
There Is the pauper's idea Of lite-dreary
The laborers idea Of liie-blank.
The cergyman's idea Of life-decorous.
The attorneys idea Of life-shrewd.
The doctors idea of life-deady.
And there is our idea Of life, which takes in all
these.
And no doubt S. 7. Colerdge's takes in ours
And, no doubt, somebody's takes in his.
Good graciousi The Idea Of Lyet There must
be es many as there are beings to form them. We
haven't an idea how many ideas there may be on
the subject The idea book THE idea is perfectly
ridiculOus.-LOnd0n Punch.
