"THE golden GArsp-This a the name Of .

"TH GOLDEN GArE"-This il the name of q
new ocean mail steamer, which the great New
York steam-mail millionaires have just got
built and finished, to be put on their line that
carries the mail between New York and San
Francisco. We believe it is about the tenth
vessel of the kind which the two companies
(now united have on their great line.
We understand that such members OF the
companies. and owners of the new steamer, as
Messrs. Aspinwall, Law, Roberts, and Cros-
well. of New York, and Jennings and Harris,
of New Orleans, have all been here to proffer
an excursion to the President and Cabinet in
"the Golden Gate" to-day, which is to be
boarded at Annapolis, the high dignitaries of
the Government and other "invited guests" to
have their railroad fare between this city and
Annapolis paid for them. After the return of
the steamer to Annapolis from the pleasure ex-
cursion, "the Golden Gate" with her owners
and millionaires, and Mr.. Secretary Webster
on board, will put on steam for New York.
May they all have grand time of it-as
they can well afford to have. May they fare
sumptuously-as no doubt they will. May they
not forget, while they are enjoying themselves,
that by the aid of pen they have never yet
remunerated, and the aid of other pens they
have, perhaps, more than remunerated-an by
the aid of Government funds, in tall sums-they
got into an enterprise which has been wonder
fully successful, and which is making them all
very rich.
Let them remember, too, that great monopo-
lies that exist by the suferance of Congress
and the Executive should not be too overbear-
ing toward the people, nor too fawning and
sycophantic to "the powers that be-" The
people and the press can take them in hand,
and they may do it. We venture the prediction
that the ocean steam-mail monopolies will not
fare as well in the next Congress rs they have
hitherto. The peopleare already looking into the
matter, and they will require their representa-
tives to look into it also. This toasting, FEAST
ing, wining and dining, and steaming the digni-
taries Of the Government--no matter whether
they may be Wing, Democratic, Fire-eaters or
Abolitionists-by millionaires who have made
fortunes out Of the Government, will have the
effect to open wide the eyes Of the people before
long.

The soreness of defeat still shows itself in the
members Of the nautical profession in England in
consequence Of the American triumphs in the recent
Yacht race. The idea Of superiority in any form or
degree the element which has beer the great the
atre of British emnence, is not to be endured. Pre-
eminent has been the only word admitted in the En-
glish naval vocabulary, whilst measuring the rela
tive merits of building navigating fighting ships.
This term has lost its SPELL which kept other ma
tons from the field of competition, and silently
signed the superiority to The latest PROPOSE
ton to test the relative merits Of different countries
has been made by proposing grand Regatta of all
nations, which. the great Exhibition brought all
the industrial capacities of countries into rivalry,
Regatta. including all, will bring into competition
their maritime capabilities. A British officer propo-
ses this scheme in the following terms:
SIS England, the greatest naval power the world
ever knew, to allow herself beaten in her own ele-
ment! Our security. perhaps our very existence as
free nation, depends upon naval superiority -
Our pre-eminence a commercial people will in fu-
ture depend greatly upon the speed of our ships
Let us then challenge the whole world to compete
with in naval architecture at grand regatta OF
all nations-comprehend men-of-war merchant
ships and yachts--in like manner as we have done
this year in arts, sciences, and manufactures. Let
the different kinds of vessels be classed and let eve
~ vessel which enters for the competition pay GER
tain Of money towards grand vase for the win
ming nation (having an appropriate inscrpton) as
trophy to be placed its academy of arts Of course
there might be- in addition other prizes honorary
otherwise for each class / will venture to say that
such grand regatta of all nations would do more
to improve ship building in year, than it has
been improved, comparatively, for the last hundred
years.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2, 1851.
Wit of the Presidential AspirGnts.-An excellent
story is told here which have not yet in print
During the recent great fair at Rochester, number of
gentlemen met at dinner party there, and among the
galaxy of bright particular stars the distinguished
orator oft day, Stephen A. Douglass, and the disn
gushed exSecretary of War. Governor Marcy The
wit and the wine flew apace and, at length, Governor
Marcy, with of those knowing looks of his,
and proposed "the health of Mr., Douglass the able
Senator from Illinois-may he be continued for the
next six years to fill his place in the Senate, which he
has already so much graced." The meaning of the
sally evident, and Marcy's eyes twnkled with
satisfaction at the g hit - Nowise abashed, however,
"the little giant" Strengthened himself out, and after
returning thanks, concluded by giving "he disn-
guished ex-Secretary of War, Governor Marcy with
not spot his character and but patch on his
breeches.' Peals of laughter succeeded the happy
retort, shortly after which the Governor was missing
