The BARNBuRNERs AND OLD HUNKERs.-We
think ii was Goblet, who, in one of his essays
on the state of parties in England, likened the
two great parties, whig and tory, In that coun-
try, to two lots of swine-one lot, well fed clean
and sleek, snugly ensconced inside gate, lei
surely feeding out of well filled trough the
other lot, half starved, lean, and long haired,
stationed outside, some of them roofing under
the gate, others gnawing the bars, and all ma.
king most discordant and hideous noise, en-
deavoring to overturn il, get in and share the
spoils.
This analogy will apply with equal force and
truth to the two parties mentioned at the head OF
this article. One, for series Of years, under the
name, style, and title of the Albany regency, Of
which Mr.. Van Buren, the beginning, the
end, and the middle, had the quiet and peaceable
possession of the public trough, or 'publc crib >"
but the distinction is not material and with a
liberal and willing hand, they dispensed the
State favors amongst themselves and their fol-
lowers, to the exclusion of all who were not
within the pale Of that august body, during their
official career. According to their own theory,
every thing went on well-the finances were in a
iourishing condition-the laws were vigorously
and Judiciously administered, and the State it,
sell admirably governed-all which means that
they themselves had possession OF the public
crib.
In the meantime, the other party demonstrated
and petitioned, setting forth their former ser.
vices and their present grievauces-that they
were their brothers-always stood by them in
the day of trouble, and fought with them shoul.

The EXPLORATION OF THE DEAD SEA-By the
last accounts from Europe, we received inteNi-
gence that Lieutenant Lynch, of the u. s. Navy,
was making arrangements to carry into effect
the purpose for which he had been despatched
by oar government-that of making a scientific
exploration of the Dead Sea, or, as one of the
wing papers humorousy says, that Of fishing
up Sodom and Gonlorrah, and annexing them to
the United States. Lieutenant Lynch had been
introduced to the Sultan, and expected to enter
on his duties in short time. We have seen
statement somewhere, to the effect that the sci
entifc department of the expedition has been as
signed by government to Lieutenant Dale, who
accompanied the expedition. This we know is
wrong, and such statement is calculated to de-
tract from Lieutenant Lynch's agency in the
matter. SO far from this being the cs se, the ex-
petition originated with Lieutenant Lynch, and
it was according to his suggestions that il was
undertaken by the United States government.
and the whole responsibility rests on him.
Lieutenant Dale is a worthy and honorable Off
Ger, and we have no doubt would deprecate his
name being mentioned in any way that would
initiate against Lieutepant Lynch.

Our IMPROVEMENTS AND OUR SUBscRIBgRs.-
The improvements and additions to our estab-
lishment are going on briskly, and will be COM
pleted in short time. Our new and extensive
vaults are nearly finished, and our new presses
and engines are well under way, and will be COM
pleted next month When they shall have been
finished and in operation, we shall be able to
publish our large edition at least two hours
earlier in the morning than it is now published,
and yet give the news up to the latest moment,
from all parts of the world as we now do
With the machinery which we have at present
in use, the fastest in the world few years
since, we cannot possibly get off our edition,
and have it served to our subscribers, at an
earlier hour than they receive it now but all
complaints on this score will be obviated in a
short time. We shall at the same time, too,
dress the Herald in new set of type, from begin
ming to end-handsome, clear letter, which will
prevent all complaints from our aged patrons,
and make more conspicuous than ever, our ad-
vertisements, which, by the rule we have lately
adopted, are new every morning, and furnish
good deal of interesting reading matter. In a
word, we are making arrangements to please
and satisfy all our readers and patrons, and
shall leave no stone unturned to do SO. The
public will have satisfactory proof of this in the
course of next month.

FOREIGN PosTAGE.-The foreign postage bill
introduced into the House of Representatives at
Washington, has passed that body, and it is to be
hoped that it will pass the Senate likewise, and
become law very soon 1t is known that the
British government, by charging heavy postage
on letters transmitted by American steamships
to England, has attempted to monopolise the
whole benefit of the international postage be-
tween the two countries, and drive our steam
ships out of the field of competition. Efforts
have been made to negotiate postage treaty
on the basis of reciprocity, but in vain, and
the bill which has passed the House is
intended to operate as retaliatory measure,
and compel English letters TO pay as much
American postage as is charged in England on
American letters. Under the circumstances,
this is the only method to adopt in order to OBJ
tain justice, and we hope il will have the desired
effect when it becomes a law. 1t will prove to
England that we are determined to look after
our own interests. How much better would it
not be if postal arrangement were made be-
tween the two countresl The spirit of the eye
is opposed to any but reimbursing postage, as
The gfat reforms of the last few years, both In
England and the United States, testify; and il is
clearly to the interest of both these countries,
that the rate of postage on letters passing be-
tween them should be as low as possible.

desperate, and in fit OF despair joined the Foul
rier section of the wings, and assisted them to
elect Fourier Governor, in the person of that
merciful gentleman, Mr.. John Young, to let
loose on society, by way of an association ex-
pertinent, all the burglars, pickpockets and felons
that had been sent to the State prison for the
last four years
BY this maneuvre the democrats were GUST
ed, and the Fourier wings let in. Now that the
former have in their turn become lean kline, they
are of course making COMPOUNDED muss outside
the gate, endeavoring to get in again The barn
burners charge the old hunkers with every poll
tical crime on the calendar. They supported
the annexation of Texas, which led to the war
with Mexico they are now assisting the South
ern States to introduce slavery into the coded
provinces; they are traitors to the democratic
cause and to cap the climax, they assisted in
turning themselves and the barnburners out Of
office.
The Fourier wings, they charge with attempt
ing to disorganize society and no doubt with
Justice. The countenance and encouragement
given by this party to the antl-renters, and the
fact that the Governor has let loose on the public
such number OF convicts, during his official
term, sustains the charge. They also say
that the whole frame of the State government is
turned topsy turvey; and all this because they
are out of office.
Where there is such division, and the spoils
OF Office the bone of contention, it is not likely
that reunion will take place between the par.
ties Indeed, the barnburners openly declare they
will not unite unless the old hunkers submit te
be bound, hand and foot, for the bene fit of the
party, which means that the Albany regency
shall be again resuscitated; and further, if they
do not, and if Mr.. Clay or General Taylor
gets the nomination from the wing convention
they will take either over Cayuga bridge, as
they did Mr.. Polk, which will insure his cleo.
