Old Massachusetts, Endange red |!

The success of the coalitionists in old feder-
al Massachusetts, threatens to affect the unirer-
sal wing party more dangerously than they
have ever had any reason TO fear. Considera-
BILE CONSERVATION has been created by the init
nation Of the coalitionists that they would re-
peal The law of the State establishing the plu-
raEity system in the choice of Presidential cleo
tors! This would probably give the Legisla-
ture the election of them, and thus take it from
the hands of the wings. Some of the whg
press are rabid at the idea, as well they might
be. We have no particular sympathy with
the coalitonists; they can do what they please
with their opponents, we suppose, but we
should recommend the display of magnanimity
to their down-trodden foe. Notwithstanding
the wing press of Maine make such show of
horror at the corruption" and "trickery" of
the coaltionists of Massachusetts, they would
be glad enough to enter into similar arrange
ment with their free soil allies here, as thew
have often attempted to do, if they could only
get these free soiers to put confidence enough
in them long enough to make the trial! There
is no gl4ten to answer their purposes here

THE EDITORIAL CONVENTION Capt. Little
field, of the Clarion, having been unanimously
elected chairman, has appointed the members
of the press at Augusta committee of arrange
menis. The latter have appointed Friday, the
9th day of February, as the day, and the City
Council Room at Augusta, as the place of hol-
ding said Convention. The editors at Angus
ia have subjoined generous finale to the pro-
gramme, which is an invitation to their breth-
rem to partake of supper at the Stanley House,
got up in Bakers best style. Surely the good
time must be coming, and as such occurrences
do not happen oftener than once in an Age,
we shall be there to enter the proceedings up
on our Journal. Over such an assembly, the
Banner must be love, and their deliberations
result in the greatest good TO the entire people

We would award to DR.. Lambert the credit
of being one Of the most interesting, instruc-
tive and able lecturers on Physiology and Pop
ular Education that il has ever been our good
| fortune TO listen 10.
The lecture Of Rev. DR.. Gannett, of Boston,
before the Lyceum, was finished and inter-
| esting performance. DR.. G. is a man consid-
erably advanced in years ); has bald head, Of
somewhat peculiar shape-an expressive coun-
tenance, although not remarkably intellectual
one. He has smooth, easy, and at times,
impassioned delivery, which renders him a
very attractive lecturer. Prof. Shepard, OF
Bangor, lectures next Friday evening-subject
Charles James Fox
There are 10 be two Conventions in town
the coming week-a religious anti-sIavery one
on Tuesday and Wednesday, and the great
temperance one on Wednesday and Thursday
These will create matter of interest enough
here for one week The Editorial Convention
has been appointed for Friday, February 9th,
and as the fraternity of Augusta have politely
offered a sumptnous entertainment to their
brethren of the quill, as an inducement for
them to be present, we shall hope to see a
good representation on hand. The movement
is no idle one, for mere amusement, but is in
tended 10 subserve some important purposes.
The State Convention movement gains no
more ground-indeed, it has about received its
q'aetus. With the departure from town, of
one or two individuals, quiet will again reign
at the capital
The citizens of Augusta are not only a
chnrch-going people, but they support the best
of preaching. DR.. Tappan's pulpit, (Congre-
gational) is ably filled by the Rev. Mr.. Webb
who, we understand, fully answers the SAN
guine expectations of his friends. We listened
to discourse of his last Sunday-which, for
matter, style of composition, and manner of
delivery, we have rarely seen excelled. He
has cultivated an ease and grace of delivery
that Justly entities him to the first rank among
pulpit orators. He has commenced series
of dscourses calculated TO do much good in
counteracting the pernicious doctrines that are
gaining ground in the transcendental tendency
of the times, by which the sacred character of
the Bible is seriously impaired, and its holy
truths robbed of their Divine influence.
The Calvinistic Baptists have also recently
settled a talented, and highly promising young
pastor-lhe Rev. Mr.. Dalton. He breaches
excellent discourses, without notes, and is ad-
mirably calculated, we should Judge, to build
up the excellent society over which he ofiici-
ates.
Mr.. Judd is also here-as quaint, original,
and interesting as ever His genius and repu-
talion cannot be extended by any comments of
ours. He has commenced a course of Sunday
evening lectures that promise instruction and
entertainment
Rev. Mr.. Thompson, of the Universalist
Society, chaplain of the Senate) and MIR.
Blake, of the Methodist Society, fill their re-
sPective pulpits, also, with credit and satisfac-
ton.
The Conventions of the coming week will
occupy large share of attention, in our next.

ANOTHER BALUsTRADE ACCIDENT occurred IN
New York on Tuesday evening last, at an emf.
Grant boadinr house. No. I40 Centre street. rs
There were some 500 persons in the building
at the time, most of whom had retired, and
u,as made 70 the stairs. The balustrades of
which gave way and precipitated large num-
her to the floor below. Six persons were taken
ont dead and nine were badly injured, five of
whom il is feared cannot survive. The dead
are John w. Dalton, years; John Glenman, 9
years Mary Murphy, years; young woman
unknown, 20 years and an unknown boy and
girl. The house in which the tragedy occurred
is nearly new. and had only been used for an
emigrant logding house about ten days. Its
construction as far as the stairs is concerned,
which are more than usually steep and narrow,
seems to have been badly planned.

Our Foreign Relations.
rsEBLESEss OF THE ADMINISTRATIONS


The New York Herald, in its own peculiar
way, institutes a comparison between the pres
ent and past administration, as follows:-
John Tyler, of blessed memory. was once.
by the Providence of God, President of the
United States. He was not a bad President,
either. But having no party to support him,
except the office holders, his administration
was necessarily weak. Yet it declined with
decorum, and expired without groan.
Willard Fillmore, by a similar accident is
now at the head of the government. He has
the wing party to back him, and the democrats
to spur him on; and yet the feebleness-th
Notifying feebIeness-of his foreign policy,
makes the administration of Mr.. Tyler rise
into positive dignity, by contrast, and give even
the miserable bungling of Mr.. Clayton's cabi-
net an air of respectablility. Mr.. Fillmore is
entirely too negative, and Mr.. Webster too
timid. Both together. they have proved utter
ly incompetent to take care of themselves,
much less of the rights, interest, dignity, char
acter, and honor of the country. With saw
ing degree of moral courage, they have had
opportunities for building up an irresistible
popularity; but from moral lassitude and de-
biity, from weakness and indecision from ex-
cess of caution, and excess of fear, and, above
ALL from subserviency to British interest and
British intrigues. they have made our govern
ment the jest of Europe, and themselves the
victims of their wretched policy.
There are four prominent subjects in our
foreign relations in which the administration is
justly liable to the charge of neglect of duty
the late events in Cuba; British Vaccinations
in Central America, in violation OF treaties
British intrigues in Mexico, particularly in
reference to the Tehuantepec right of way
and the affairs of the Sandwich Islands.
After looking at these four prominent sub.
jecis separately, and the manner in which they
have been treated by the administration, in 6
most bungling way or with inexcusable neg
lect, the Herald, which is not democratic
paper, closes its articles as follows:
Such has been the policy Of neutrality pur.
sued by Mr.. Fillmore and his cabinet. Weak
sickly, submissive, and passive to the last de-
gree. The results are consequently humiliat-
ing, outrageous, and disastrous. Besides, there
has been too much frolcking at the springs
too much paltry electioneering -too much Gal
phinism on claims against the treasury-too
much huckstering with public spectators. fol
either popular or independent administration
of the government. either in its foreign or do
nestle affairs. We are glad to perceive that
Congress are taking our foreign relations unde
their supervision. 1t is time.

LORD .PALMERsToN.-Accordin to the Wash
ington correspondent of the Baltimore Patriot,
it is the general belief in the Capitol that Lord
Palmerston was turned out Of oGce-and ac-
cording to private letters, the reason for his
election may be found in the fact, that he sid
cd thoroughly with Louis Napoleon in his rev.
dictionary action, against the wishes of the
Ministry, and their positive instructions, and
that, therefore, Lord John Russell insisted on
his resignation.

The KossUrH DIFFIcULTY ON BOARD OF THE
MIssIssIPrI.-Late dispatches from Washing
ton stated that the trouble between Kossuth
and Capt. Long, on board the Mississippi. had
been revived again. Comm unications in re-
gard to it, are on file in the Departments
Among other statements made, is one to the
effect that Kossuth challenged Captain Long
while on board the Mississippi, but afterwards
withdrew it.
Capt. Long, when in port, resides at Exeter,
N. II. The News Letter, of that place, is au-
thorizcd by Capt. L. to say that the statement
that kossuth sent him challenge, which was
finally withdrawn, is an entire fabrication no
challenge and nothing approaching it ever hav-
ing been received by him from Kossuth. The
Newsletter adds - ...
When the trying positions in which Captain
Long was at several times placed, and the per-
sonal Inconvenience, to call them by no strong
CIR name, to which he cheerfully submitted for
the sake of his distinguished passenger, shall be
all understood, his whole course will be found
not only proper, but marked by great discretion
