great ship of war, which has been for many years
some 30 boxed up at the Charestown Navy Yard will
be got ready for launching by August or September
next few of her timbers found TO have rottcd
but generally she IL in good condition. 1t is probable
that she will not be employed In any other way than
a receiving ship, the expense Of keeping such large

THE CASE OF THE PATRIOT MIrcHEL-OpINIoys
OF THE AMERICAN PREss.-There is but one opin-
iol, In the American PRESS of the base, dastardly
and cowardly proceeding of the English govern
ment towards the patriot John Mitchell 1t Is
an opinion such as we have already expressed-a
scathing, scorching one-qulte sufficient to sink
any respectable nation into the lowest depths of in
fanny.
The Philadelphia North Ame1can, in comment
ing upon it, uses this language
g The case Of Mitchell is upon which the Amer
press should speak boldly and freely because is
outrage in free England, upon the freedom of the
press besides being grossly tyrannca assault upon
that British freedom which have always been
toned to look upon with respect the first fount Of
American freedom. If the whole people of the United
States should unite in demonstrating with the English
on this act Of oppression and barbarism
unworthy of English civilization and the British
name, they would only give utt to censure
which ministerial pride destined to receive from the
indignation Of all the civilized world
We say the people should, through their repre-
sentatves, demonstrate with England against this
damnable proceeding. They should make her feel
that this free country has been insulted by it, that
we cannot look on with unconcern, and see such
diabolical proceeding at this age of enlighten-
ment--a proceeding which claims vengeance from
all free nations.
We can see no improperly in taking such
course; and the British government, if it desire to
receive or deserve respect from this republic here
AFTER will listen to remoDstrance, and not only
repair the injury which it has inflicted on the
patriot Mitchell, but grant to Ireland what she is
entitled to- If she refuse to listen to it, she may
regret it.

JOHN VAN buren, IN ROCHESTER. of the
Western papers give another speech by John Van
Buren,, recently delivered at Rochester upon the
present crisis of the barnburner party of this State
This speech is conceived in Johns usual lively and
amusing style, embracing specimen of very re-
spectacle blackguardism against the old hunkers,
with occasional cuts, now and then put forth against
the Taylor men. There Is nothing exceedingly
novel in the speech; indeed, we are rather inclined
to suspect, from all appearances, and the spirit
displayed in this speech, that John begins to find
out it is rather up hill work to organize new
party upon the narrow platform of the Wlmot rro-
viso. He may hold his convention in Utica next
week, and endeavor to make sort of arrange
ment for the next gubematorial election; but there
are evident symptoms that the power of the BARR
burners is disappearing The sudden evaporation
and discontinue of the ultra wings, in the Clay
demonstration attempted the other day in this city,
bode no good to the various discontinued factions
breaking away from the great organized parties
of the North. AS the great contest progresses, and
the spirit of the canvass increases in force and
energy so the power and spirit of the disconnected
factions will fade away and diminish with great
rapidlty.

hsa on hEwspapEE CsIuMsY - Now that the
contest for the next Presidency may be said 10 be
fairly opened between the friends of General Tay-
lor on the one hand, and those of General Cass on
the other, we may expect the usual ebullitions of
abuse and libel, from great portion OF the party
press, on both sides the question, throughout the
country
In less than two months, the boiling factions of
all kinds-the abolitionists, barnbuners, ultra
wings. &c-will be dwindled down to a mere
speck upon the political horizon. Already the
leading journals of the Atlantic cities and of the
Western States, have taken sides either for Cass
or for Taylor; but we are sorry TO see, among
many of them, symptoms of that disgracefnl and
discreditable disposition to abuse the personal
characters of the candidates they are opposed to-
conduct which has too long disgraced the ill-con-
Quoted portion of the American press. In some
quarters we observe that General Casa man of
honor and high responsibility, and strictly moral
in his character-has been already denounced as
odd fuss and fury" while Gen. Taylor, on the
other side, has been denominated I" the old blood
hound" Among the journals which have set
the example, and began this career of nfamy
and defamation against the opposing candidates,
made by the leading journals of the Atlantic cities;
the Union and National Antelligencer, at Washing
ton; the argus and Journal, at Albany; the North
american and Pennsylran,an, at Philadelphia, and
the american and Patriot, at Baltimore. These
are already beginning to show, at this early day,
some symptoms of that most discreditabe abuse
which has been too long feature of the party press
of this country. The smaller and less extensively
circulated journals, in the interior, following these
examples, are yet more violent and more denun-
ciatory against or the other of the two dstin-
guished and honorable men who are before the
country as candidates.
We are happy, however, on the other hand to
observe in the midst of this commencement of
newspaper abuse and calumny, that the lndepen-
dent press of the great cities exhibit the purpose of
intending to pursue a dgnifed course in the APP
preaching contest, and to discuss with justice and
impartialty the measures put forth by each dstin-
gushed candidate, and to treat with courtesy and
proprety the personal character of each of them.
We have more to say on this subject at another
time
