Our overland express from Halifax, with the

The Approaching Election-New Element
| in the COntest-Probable ROut OF the De-
mocracy.
| The approaching contest between the two great
parties this city and State, which comes of
on Tuesday next, will present some curious
and original features, calculated to puzzle the
philosopher. and make the good natured laugh. A
new element, of peculiar character, is about to be
introduced INTO t-one which has sprung up in the
very centre of the city, and the first movement
connected with which will be found reported at
length, In our columns to-day. For the first time
in any Anglo Saxon community, the negro desccn-
| dants of the African slaves of former age, have
come together in public meeting, declared their
| political rights, and assumed position which, in
the approaching struggle, will decide the contest
| in favor of the party whose side they take. We
refer readers to the full report of those proceed
ings, which took place at highly respectable negro
meeting, composed of the negro elite of the city,
from all the oyster cellars and other places about
town, and held ut Putnam Hall. At this meeting,
there were also preferences indicated in favor of
Senator Seward for the Presidency, and Frederick
Douglas for the Vice Presidency, for 1852, thus =
WILLIAM II: SEWARD (white mani, of New
York, for President.
FREDERICK DOUGLAS (black many, OF Ohio, for
Vice President.
This new and wonderful element will probably
decide the approaching election in favor of the
wigs. As'the contest stands it is very GER
tain that both parties will be very nearly balanced
in this city and if such is the case in the city, a
similar result may take place throughout the State
The exercise therefore, of the negro right of suf-
fase, comprising probably one thousand votes in
the city, and as many in the State, may determine
the political complexion of the State of New York
in favor of the wings for the next year, and pro-
duce an entire defeat of the democracy. The po-
sition now assumed by the African, or negro, race
viii give them great power hereafter; and probably
some of the factions of the day, which receive
their aid, may think it necessary to bring them into
public office and administer little of the spoils TO
their new ales. In this movement, the wings
have certa lnly shown consummae skill, in manag-
ing their a fairs to bring this new ard fresh
corps of voters favor OF their side of the question.
This is new phase of socialism, which will yet
attract more than common attention here and else
where, throughout the republic. It's almost equal,
IN rich humor and broad farce, to the recent
astounding revolution in st. Domingo, by which
that wonderful republic was suddenly transformed
into a great empire, and the late President Sou

TAXATION IN lS5O.-The assessment roll for the
year 1850 has not yet made its appearance, not
withstandng that il has been called for SO often
Now, if ii be not forthcoming before the day of
election, there is but one inference that can be
drawn, and that is, that the taxation for the next
year is enormous that the corrupt party at pre-
sent in power dare not exhibit it, No other con-
clusion can be arrived at; and It would be we'll for
the public, especially the Taxpayers, to bear this in
mind. Its retention so long behird the usual time
is conclusive proof of what we have repeatedly
stated, that the present municipal authorities have
been guilty of gross extravaganza in dlsposing of
the public funds The Beard of Supervisors are
bound by law TO deliver the assessment roll of each
ward to the receiver of taxes, on or before the
twenty fifth day of September in each year. And
yet it has not been delivered What is the reason.
for the delay this year! Is 1t because the party at
present in power, not Satisfied with being more
exravagant than any of their predecessors, wish to
involve the city in batch of law SUITS in order to
decide the question Of the legality of the ASSESS
ments, on the ground that the law has not been
complied with?

We understand that certain Massachu
sets Free-Soilers, or Barnburners, made
the recent amalgamation of Democracy and
Abolition in New York an excuse for paw
ing visit TO Mr.. VAN buren, at Kinder
hook, The result of the interview was,
that Mr.. VAN BUREN's dose was swal-
lowed by the gentlemen, and they returned
to Boston with the information to Their
friends that the coalition was all right, anc
that it was only necessary for the Massa-
chusetts Free-Soilers to strike hands with
the Democrats, to insure as brilliant a com
bined victory as they were about achiev-
ing in New York. OF all political mon
sters, we think the most deformed is a
Massachusetts Wing who has been meta
norphosed, first into Free-Soiler, and
from that into Locofoco!

MIR. Buchanan and Nicaragua.

We find in the Baltimore Republican
the following passage of letter from
Washington, which is copied into the for
elgn metropolitan organ. 1t seems that
during the recent visit of Mr.. BUCHANAN
to this city, "occasion was taken, in the
course OF conversation with him, to put
the question, whether the late cabinet
OF Mr.. Polk, of which he was a member,
took any action in the Nicaragua affair, or
if they had skulkedi it, as the Republic and
other opposition journals had asserted.
He promptly replied that the late cab-
net had acted; and although he was not
at liberty to say what that action was,
he had no doubt that when the whole
matter was brought before the country,
as he hoped it would be shortly, it
would be found to rebound greatly to the
honor of the late administration.
The decorous reserve of the ex-secre-
tary on this subject is thus indirectly com
mended by the foreign organ. 1t seems
that MIR. BUCHANAN did not deem it proper
or prudent to declare the action of the late
cabinet on matter still under negotiation;
and this is all right in the eyes of Locofoco-
ism. But in its efforts to embarrass the pre-
sent administration, and if possible prevent
their satisfactory adjustment of this i'm
portant question, the foreign organ thinks
it decent to make all manner of statements
and insinuations in regard to the action of
President TAYLOR in the premises. The
action of defunct cabinet must not be in
CURED into-the people must take upon
trust the assertion that they did not
"skulk." But the action of the present
cabinet must be spied and pred into
picked up from the givings-out of hostile
letter-writers, and the gossip of Locofoco
clerks. Mr.. BUCHANAN and his friends
can scribble column on column in the op-
position journals on the Nicaragua policy
of President TAYLoR's cabinet, but as to
the action of Mr.. Folks cabinet on the
subject-that is state secret.

1t is the public morals that they are anxious
about. They have conscientious scruples
as to the power of the Federal Govern

the public morality.
We are perfectly willing that the two
parties should stand on this question where
they have been standing, and where the
Opposition journals are determined that
they shall remain. The Locofocos may
cling to the Baltimore resolutions, the We
