ABOLITION EXCITEMENTS-The N. Y.

daticn in fact The Express says 1t does
not choose to be made party to any
such miserable fabrication. for instance,
as that which the Boston Courier pro-
nounces the "great excitement at Nor
.cester to be. the silliest story that ever
burdened the wires.

the entire appreciation of the most aoie
and influential men of the State. NOT
withstanding it promises defeat 10 the
whig party in the pending State eiec-
t;ons. it bears upon its face its own justin
cation. and will command the respect
nd admiration of every national whig
in the Uuiou. The course of the majority
in that convention, in forcing upon re-
spectable minority, set of resolutions
highly obnoxious to them, will doubtless
produce for the present. discord, strife and
most probably defeat, but, should all
these consequences follow in the train Of
results, it will be better for the Whig
party, and the Union, than it would be
to gain temporary success, at a sacrifice
of their cherished conservative principles
The attempt of the adherents of Sena-
tor Seward, to coerce the wings of New
York ihto the support of The unjus:,
illiberal and suicidal policy Of that gentle
man, will be vain and futile effort,
which will not only recoil upon them
selves, but ultimately, will rebound to the
honor and success of the national whig
party.
The recent unprincipled reunion OF
the old Hunker aud Barnburner wings of
the Democratic party Of that State, may
have its desired effect, and enable them
to carry the State election, but such un-
principed combinations, although they
NAV be crowned with transient success,
must ultimately result disastronsly. The
coalition may flourish for while, but its
success will be Of short duration, tor 1t

membcred as it appears to be, islands

PROVISIONS FROM EUROPE

The New York correspondent of the Wash

s. Among the noteworthy things one
sees here is actually the importation of pro-
visions from Ireland! Thus the Herald
of this morning contains an advertisement
of merchant offering one hundred hamp-
ers of Irish potatoes for sale-imported, of
course. To the stranger this would look
like competition in the agricultural way
with US. But the fact is not so. We have
a large Irish population, many of whom.
having the means, buy such importations
only for the sake of "reminiscences. They
Of course sell higher than the American
grown, as they are with us altogether a
fancy article. After the same fashion, the
manifest of every steamer from the othe r
side of the AtIant,c exhibits the importa-
ton OF quite an invoice of English South
down mutton, hares, pheasants. partridses,
cheese, porter, ales. &C., aud French des-
ert nick-naCks which in no manner COM
pete with similar articles made and pro-
duced here-being sold at double the
prices at which the American range, to
Sourmands of the city, who pay anything
charged for the qualification of their paIates.
The same correspondent changing the subject,
gives the following religious news:
''The Rev. Mr. Ryder, Of Georgetown
College. lectures this evening at the Taber-
nacIe before the Mercantile Library AS
sociation, upon the history of his order, the
Jesults. That immense hall will doubt
less be crowded, as. apart from the great
interest of his capital subject, he brings
with him distinguished reputation as a
suraa and scholar. On Sunday evening
Bishop Hughes lectured to some 5000
persons. at fifty cents per head. (the pro-
ceeds being devoted to charitable pur-
poses.; upon the rise and decay of Protest
antism; while at the same time the Rev.
DR.. Bowling. Baptist clergyman of dis
tinction. lecture1 to almost as many on the
rise and downfall of ''Popery." So they
go in this tit-for-tat religious world of New
York. Bishop Hughes is doubtless one of
the abiest disputants in this city. He rea-
sons with tie logic of Webster, the per-
spicacity of Calhoun. the elegance of
Foote, the eloquence of Clay, and the re-
search of Benton,''
