New HAVEN, May 81, 1851.
To scekers of summer enjoyment there is no
more inviting spot than New Haven. All that ma

do, hns been done for. this New England paradise.
Surrounded on three sides by ranges of pleasant
hills, abrupt and broken cffs and on the Their by
the waters of Long Island Sound it presents to the
eye every variety of scenery. It's associations are
all of the most interesting kind. In history it will
live as long as Plymouth Rock or Jamestown. 1t
has given shelter and protection to of the best
mon that have lived-men whose names are
synonymous with the sternest virtue and the most
exalted patriotism. Here lie the bones of the three
rcgicides, Whaley, Cough, and Dxwell. Fleeing
from their native land after the restoration of the
English monarchy, they lived here many years in
seclusion, enjoying the esteem and confidence of
our liberty loving, tyrant-hating forefathers. A

New York skirts the Sound the entire distance OF

most romantic and picturesque places to be found
in all New England. From the station house at

From The Bangor (Diaine) Iphig and Courier
The Presidency In 1852.

The tendency of discussions, debates,
speeches, writings, and consultations in every
section OF the country, seems TO be growing
more and more towards this universally important
and interesting subject. The constituted and self
arrogated "leadors'' of each and every party and
faction seem to be taking up the matter with vigor
and warmth. Gentlemen of great ability, acknow-
lodged as leaders of their respective parties have
been making speeches, writing letters and in other
modes bringing the influences they possess TO bear
upon the popular mind and voice. Every party
can count on many ambitious men, who scorn to
heed the advice Of Cardinal Woolsey. These would
be "rich-honored-great;" and, in this free re-
publican country, one has the right or privilege
to cay to them, thus far and further" shalt thou
go. Ia our country, where feudal laws and laws of
prinogeniture prevail not, the most obscure and
humble citizen may his ambition, and rear it
percbancc TO n hale and wholesome growth. II then
depends mainly upon his fellow citizens having had
full opportunity to watch his career to settle at the
ballot box whether not he is fit and proper
TO guard the interests and honor Of tie whole
people; whether or not he possesses the requisite
firmness ability, moral courage to administer the
laws of the land with fidelity impartaliy without
fear, favor, sfTecton or hope of reward other than
the appreciation OF his conscience and the pco-
there will be found to be no lack of candidates for
the fret or second place in the republican govern
ment.
In looking quietly and calmly at this subject,
turning il and around, go as to get fayorab Bile
view from all points we arc disposed to leave out
OF consideration all agiators, DISTINGUISHES scocs-
sonists, abolitopists Of the North South East, or
West. With the Constitution, with the promoters
and upbolders Of law and order Of the union Of the
States in all honor and integrity, the sectional
lists" can have no fellowship, no community Of
feeling, and consequently interest in the great
and all.imporant question Of the perpciuity of the
/ Republic.
Among those distinguished props and pillars OF
the true Wing household, who have in various
places and in different ways been put forward as
candidates for the Presidency, may be named
Willard Fillmore, Of New York; Henry Clay, Of
kentucky; Daniel Webster, Of Massachusetts
Thomas Corwin, Of Ohio; Winfield Scott, of the
army; John J. Crttenden, Of kentucky.

from the folly and madness OF separate seccs-

friends we'll as our northern enemies. We hope
to sec another paper spring up in Charleston adj

The Chester paper, too, Is coming round, and will
be against secession before long, VIC hope. The
Hamburg Republican joined our ranks some time
since. The Southern Patriot is getting allies, and,
although there may DO shades OF difference in our
politics. we will all fight under the ANrI-sEcEssIoN

Butler, Barnwcl, and many others of the most
prominent disunionists of the South"

depth Of one hundred and twenty feet, and several
months were employed in laborious search before
Mr.. Levins struck s'thc big lcad"- lead which,
1t is confidently said, makes him the richest man
in Iowa This is certainly the case, If this limp is
to be regarded any indication OF its value II
weighs about four hundred and eighty pounds, and
when first taken out weighed more than five hun
drcd pounds, but part of it was afterwards broken
off by some thoughtlcss pereon. As il is il presents

which we have ever seen, and will be valuable
acquisition to any cabinet. We invite strangers

perience of discipline. London extends ten miles
