have received, during the Ii st two or three days,
several journals just started for the purpose Of ad
vocating the claims Of the free soil, abolition
democracy it called, and also of supporting their
candidates, Hale and Julien. One of these Journals
has been commenced in Philadelphia, and appears
to be conducted with great deal Of vigor Ano
ther, just started in Syracuse in this State, is also
presenting strong signs of vitality; and two
others have recently made their appearance in diff
ersnt parts of the abolition ATTITUDES. In addition
to this, John P. Hale himself, taking the cue from
General SCOTS progress out West, has placed
himself on the stump, and is busy following in the
wake Of Old Chepultepec. The free soil papers in
that region making violent efforts 10 create IN

General Scott is Low cultivating, coming rouod
gradually through Pennsylva and New York,
and ending in New England. The abolition or free
soil party, who held their convention at Psssblrs
are struggling most mnnfnlly with circumstance
adverse TO their destiny. Their principles and dos
trnes to be making the most be ad way in those
regions where the ground was prepared by the
''isms" of Seward, Weed, Greeley, and demagogns
of that class. Hale and his journals and advocates
denouncirg both the old parties-both the plat
forms adopted at Baltimore and are calling on the
fanatics, of all kinds to support their cause, and 60
for abolition, the repeal of the Fugitive Slave law,
foreign intervention, the Maine Liquor law, and al
the isms of the day. From the zeal and spirit
which they exhibit, and which at least is strong
and active as that of the wings Of the Scott and
Seward stripe, il would not surprise us if they
were to receive over two hundred thousand popular
votes at the Presidential election next November
These votes will also probably come mostly from the
old abolition whig party, organized by Seward, for
that party has been peppered and prepared, and
made fit to go the whole figure for the Pttsburg
PLATFORM and the utraisms of that section In such
case, General Scott, the candidate of the Seward
party, has not the slightest chance of gettisg IN
electoral vote in Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York,
Connecticut, or any. of the Northwestern States.
The AMERICAN CONGRESS AND THE BRITISH
HOUSE OF CoMNoSs.- From the squabbles and Dor.
sonsl encounters which have so recently disgrs,ed
both legislative bodies of the Congress of the
United States, the people Of Europe may be led to
suppose that the sun Of political existence is
going down, and that the union Of this republic,
which has for the last seventy years stood i'm
movable through every political and social change,
was about to be rent asunder.
These (neutes are not surprising, when we reflect
that every four years this republic is the scene of
mighty conflict for political supremacy. When the
mind of almost every throughout the land Is
filed with anxiety to the result of the Presiien.
tial election it is not surprising that extraordinary
excitement should exist among members Of Con-
gress, who may be considered as the BODY. guard
their respective chieftains. II would be unnatura
it were otherwise for it is not unfrequently the
that the candidates for the Presidential chair
rank among the members of Congress some Of their
nearest and dearest friends Who to save them from
danger, insult. or dshonor, would willingly expose
their lives and fortunes II is to be deplored tina.

to believe in early life as legitimate and proper.
