EXTRACTS FROM OUR CORRESPONDENCE

Nep York, Nov 2 1S52.-The Wings are
annihatcd in this city. Democrats have car
ried all before them The Wings of New York
could not swallow the platform that sect en-
dorsed The Fugitive Slave Act has killed
them forever. There is no sufficient organlza-
ton of Free Democrats here. and other
Free-Solcrs in the 18th ward were forced to
be lockers on, rather than vote for Scott or
Pierce. | know some Free Soil Wings who
voted for Scott as choice between two evils
some know refrained from voting at all ; they
could not swallow the platform. have watch
cd and talked with many here of both parties
and believe SCOTS support was almost whoIly
from the Union Wings. Some Wings voted
for Pierce, thinking it best to help desperate
men into evil, 50 they might destroy themselves
by the largest possible amount OF evil in ule
soonest possible time But what wish TO say
is, we Free-Soers must be better acquain''u
and organized. The form OF ticket ior ei's,
toral candidates should have been pubusheu ~
the daily papers emight then have dcpos'% Wv,
our vote. We did not even know that n ueAo'
had been made up.
To the Editor of the National Era:
DEAR SIR: The battle of the I'd instant J
over and the smoke has cleared away, so t'ia
we can determine the result in this Coner
sional district Gerrit Smith, the 1000 uo
noble and the great is elected 10y over on
thousand majority. This is great trump
truly, for truth and principle.

THE FUTURE OPENING. The Boston Post
noY that the Pierce Democracy has succeeded
Ake Overwhelming a vote, talks largely of the
Necessity of principle and consistency, and it
cannot stand coalition any more. "Bygones,"
it says, unjust be by-gones; but for the future
it will be useless for Democrats to attempt to
stand upon two stools. 1t will be more than
a blunder it will be breach of faith with the
country to rally about Free Soil candidates
to send lasn to Congress, not only who have
been Free-Soilers in the past, but who mean
to be Free-Soilcrs to come who live and move
and breathe, politically, only by Slavery agta-
ton; who spit upon the Democratic platform,
haranguc in favor of repeal OF the Compro-
mise measures, and still claim to be with the
Democratic party. Such course would mel
ther he honest nor polite"
This is an invitation in advance to Mr.. Pierce
To use the influence of his Administration t.
interfere in the State politics OF his party, as
Mr.. Polk did The wonderful success which
rewarded MIR. Folks experiment, may enconr'
age his successor to renew it, The Common
,reaih says that the policy of the Post would
give to the Wings n majority of three to one
in the House of Representatives, every mem

MEDIocRITY AND GREATNEss.-A writer in
one of the New York papers, dscoursing of the
distinguished dead of this year, is afflicted
with the apprehension that the era of medioc-
rity is upon us
"Are we now come to the reign of mediocre.
tyl With so much greatness gone and 80 lit
tie left with obscure men crowding up from
their obscurity to fill the places Of those. at
whose presence they but yesterday stood in
awe; with man only remarkable for his ac-
cidents, although not at all remarkable for
faults or incapacity in the seat of Washington,
jefferson, and Jackson; with Messrs Nameess
in the Secretariats which Webster, Everett,
and Kennedy, have just vacated what with
these things, shall we have but the era of me-
diocrity' New men in the professional chairs
new authors, fiarng their noteless names at us
through windows OF the booksellers; new poll
ticians and new measures; new and generally
little, all of them"
Amid the terrible gloom which surrounds us
let us be thankful that Providence has prolong.
ed the life OF this remarkable genius.

We answer-New- York is not hostile to
Mr.. Fillmore because of his approval of the
Compromise measures. II that were the
difficulty, it would be far frsm formidable.

II WILLIAM e. ROBINSON, Esq, will
deliver the next Lecture (and last but one this
season. Of the Peoples Course on the 23d,
wherein he will discuss The Celtic and Anglo.
Sass~ Races. their respective Characteristics, Ca
liabilities and achievements. Mr.. R. believes
that the Anglo-Saxon element has been unduly
eulogized while the Celtic has been as unustly
disparaged and he brings Learning, Talent, Re-
search, Wit, Hsmor and EIoquencs to the work
of indicating and unfolding the latter. We
have thought his former efforts in this field liza
bic to the charge Of over-ststement. but no ons
can deny their ability. and they have attracted a
wide and general attention on both aides of the
Atlantic. We promise those who hear him on
Tuesday evening treat, whether they shall or
shsll not accede to all his positions.

q The HOMESTEAD BILL, giving (un-
der suitable rsstrictions) One Hundred and
Sixty acres Of Public Land to each actual
settler and cultivator, has now been for
some weeks before Congress (House,)
though no one would suspect it from the de-
bates, which generally relate to 'Ysung
America Progress, odd Fogies,' the
Democratic Revisv, and the relative claims
anu popularity Of MessEs. Cass, Douglas,
Buchanan, Butler, &c. &c. Every few
days, even this empty show of discussing
the Homestead bill is put aside, in behalf
of the Deficiency bill, Bounty Land bill, or
the great Railroad grabs which absorb the
attention Of borers and threaten to serve
the Public Lands as the whale did Jonah.
We beg leave very briefly to assure
Congress that The People feel more inter.
est in that same Homestead bill than in all
their Presidential intrigues and Land job
bing schemes and that they will not hear
with competency that the Bounty Land
Warrant Assignment bill has been passed,
and that the Railroad jobs follow clsse on
its heels, but that the Free Homestead bill
hangs fire and that it viii probably fall at
last between the TIVE Houses for soant of
time. Decidedly, gentlemen! you will
hear 4 noise If the jobbers' bills all get
through and the pioneers' don't. Think
well Of il

The HAaBoR MASTERS. The OPPOSE

ton papers are stating that the nominations for
Harbor Masters recently made by Gov. Hunt,
and to defeat which such disgra csful means
were resorted to by the Loco-Foco minority of
the Senate On Tuesday, are to take effect one
year hence. This is wholly untrue. All the
terms Of the present incumbents expire within
the next three or fsur weeks, and the Governor
delayed his nominations as long as he could
with propriety. The places will all be vacant
(save as the incumbents hold over for want Of
successors) before the Goth Of April. What az

COMMITTEE Will you bear in mind that the

that the machinery hitherto in use will not Sc

Committees respectively to prepare such list
inviting every Wing to call at designated time

lister be revised, all names but those of Wing

~ By the Niagara's mail we have had
the pleasure of receiving letters from our friend
and associate BAYARD TAYLoR,--or as he 10
known among the Arabs, TAYLOR BSY,-dated
at KHARroUM, the chief city Of SEMINAR. situated
a, the confluence OF the White and the Blue Nile
about half way between Cairo and the Equator.
He arrived there on the l2th of January IN sx-
celIent health and spirits, after journey on
camels across the Nabian Desert, during which
he had sundry fortunate adventures and received
every friendly attention from the native Chief
tans. He was the first American ever seen so
far toward Central Africa, and like good pa
triot never slept without the stars and stripes
floating above his tent. Everywhere good luck
had attended HMM truth he seems to have
been born to it,-but at Khartsum especially he
was received with unexpected honors. The
Governor Of the city had presented him with
horse, and had entertained him in banquet OF
genuine Ethiopian magnihcence, while the com
mander of the troops had stationed nightly
guard of honor around his tent. In company
with Dr. KNoBIEcHER, the venerable Catholic
missionary bound for the equatorial regions
whom he had overtaken at Khartoum, and of
DR.. DEITz, the AUSTRIAN CONSUL, Mr.. TAYLOR
had also attended banquet at the palace OF the
daughter of the late King Of Seminar, very
stately and ebon princess, who entertained her
guests chiefly upon sheep roasted whole. Others
of the first families among the Ethiopian aris'
tocracy had also welcomed the strangers with
distinguished civilities. Mr.. TAYLOR expected
to reach Cairo on mis- return about the LIST OF
April, though we should not be surprised to learn
that he had changed his mind, and, in company
with the Jesuit mis- sion, plunged still further into
the mysterious country about the Equator and
the sources of the Nile.
We have in type several of Mr.. Taylor's let.
lattArs. which will appear as soon as we can find
room for them.
