SOuRd Sentiments.

We approve of the sentiments contained in
the following extract from an article in the New
Orleans Crescent, but regret that any cireum.
stance should render them applicable to the
present time:
at is daily becoming more and more, the
Jacobinal habit to appeal directly to the peo-
pie, and to pass contemtuously by the public
authorities, as if free government of a Re-
public was at war with the free people which
creates it. which no more moves without the
consent of the people, than vessel floats with.
odt or against current The clear, calm, So
Der sense of the country must correct the evil
tendency of this foreshsdowing of mob law.
must ordain in the sovereignty of its, and the
powers of its lawful authorities, beyond con-
tradiction and above defiance Otherwise the
hurrah of mob, the clamor Of crowd, the
outcry of assemblage, will be above law, and
will be no more effective than leaves scatter
ed upon the winds. OF all others, free peo-
pie can best afford to respect their own laws,
and should most strrnuously support their own
authorities; because those laws are their own
calm expression. and those authorities their
own special creation"

The Washington correspondent Of the State
Sentinel has come to the conclusion that Gen.
Scott viii be the Whig candidate for the Pres
idency. and is evidently alarmed at the fact.
He says
Let US then prepare ourselves TO fight Scott,
and lei us put the strongest man in the field
against him. No milk and water statesman
-no man whose opinions can be quoted on
both sides Of great and leading quesIions--no
changeing-no old federalist-in word no
man that carries weight, or whose previous
course has already reused certain degree Of
opposition. We want man with whom We
can enlist the popular sympstAies Of the mas
ses without the whip aud spur Of mere party
drill"
Il will not be the first time preparatious to
tight Scott have been made. The British
prepared to fight him in the war Of 1912,
and the Mexicans prepared to tight him at
Vera Cruz. Cerro Gordo Cherubnsco, and al
Mexico. In all the fights he was victorious
and he is certain to come of in the same way
in the fight with Locofocoisn next Novem-
Der. sszsasa
This correspondent is anxious to get Io-
cofoce candidate who "shaII enlist the popular
sympathy of tho masses, without the whip and

candidate, and the whip and spur Of party

The New York Tribune, now that the ex-
eitement of the Kossuth demonstration is over
displays CLEAN of common sense upon the
subject of non-intervention. The following ap-
peared in that journal, few days since:
Eve may hslp Hungary, we should help
Hungary, in all sorts of ways, and rest not,
nor tire, till we see the beginning of the end
in Europe. But whether we view the subject
under an enlarged scope of vision, or come
down to the every day selfish and narrow
view of the case. eithey way. we may say, it
won't pay to go to war with Russia either this
year or next in behalf of European liberty
And we do not think our Senators and Rep
resentativeS need apprehend that this convic-
tion of the country will be overthrown in a
day,'

The Louisville journal does not expect that
the Democratic National Convention will NOM
mate General Cass for the Presidency-at
least such is our inference from the following
rather piquant paragraph, copied from that pa
per-:
We perceive that the Detroit Free Press re-
fuses to think of any body but Gen. Cass in
connection with the next Presidency. We
admire the editors fidelity. He reminds us
of faithful dog that stays and starves to death
by the dead body of his master.

ANOTHER SEARCH FOR Sra JOHN FRAHKLIN
1t has already been announced that Lieut.
PIN, of the British navy, has started upon all
adventurous journey TO the Siberian coast, in
search of the missing Arctic navigators. In
a report made by Sir +. Beaufort, hydrogra.
pher of the English admiralty, he says that in
case Sir John was able to penetrate through
Wellington channel into the Polar Ocean, the
existence of which is firmly believed by those
who have glimpse Of body of water be.

an expedition, unaccompanied excep: by one
servant, across the country to that Northern
region. and started for ST. Petersberg on the
20th of November, TO undertake the perilous
journey. The English Government furnished
him with $500. and he draws his regular pay
as an officer of the navy. He expects also q
be aided by the Gar. The N. Y. CONNER

coast of Siberia westward to Siviero Vostochi-
mil Nos, or the North east point of ASIA and
Eastward to the Cape North of Ceok--a dis
tance of 1000 miles. OF course the success
of his enterprise will depend mainly upon the
means which the influence of the Russian
Government may be able to make available.
He hopes to complete the search by the year

a reduction to the extent of any appropriations
which may be made for this or the next fiscal
years, additional to the estimates submitted.
Should Congress appropriate to meet the or
dinary wants of Iha Government and to cover
the expenditures required by our new Terrific
ries, as submitted bv this Department the bal
ance at the close of the fiscal year, ending Both
June, 1853. will be more than sufficient to
meet the amount required on the FIRST of July

The Arctic ExOeditIOn.

DR.. Kane, who was attached to the explor.
ing expedition is delivering course of lee
tures on the interesting subject at the Smith
soniau Institute in Washington. We find in
the National lntelgencer briefreport of the
first lecture, from which We extract the follow
ing:
The topic is full Of interest For the Erst
time We were made aware of the geopraphi.
cal Importance of the Arctic Ocean-sn ocean
whose area exceeds four and half millions of
square miles, and whose tributary rivers drain
a larger country than the Indus, the Cianpes.
the Mississippi and the Oronoco combined.
In discussing the much vexed question oil
the etH bono OF these Arctic expeditions, DR..
Kane, after citing in detail their valuable con-
lrbutobs to general science, observed that
the cothshery of New Foundland grew out Of
the voyage of Sir Humphrey Gilbert; the
northwest passage of Davis opened the whale
fishery of West Greenland; and Frobisher pi-
oneered Hudson to that great bay, which now
margins the most lucrative fur company oi
the age.
Sir John Franklin was last seen in Baffin's
Bay in July, 1S45, moored to an iceberg and
awaiting an opening to the west. BY a strange
coincidence, the American expedition was i'm
prlsoned for two successive seasons at the spot.

DR.. Kane. after describing the scene. which
he was among the first to visit, expressed his
conviction that the missing vessels had pro-
ceeded in the early summer of l846 up this ia
let to the unknown regions Of the north. This
seems to us extremely probable. The Amer
ican expedition, in fact, drifted helplessly in
this very direction. They attained latitude

A SmaIIMnss.

In Washington City, during the winter there
are regular assemblies, or dancing parties, got
up to afford an opportunity for many who have
not the entire of all the official and unofficial
private assemblies in the city. to enjoy them
selves, and see the world. The Foreign and
Home officials attend these assemblies, as a
matter Of courtesy. The opening assembly OF
this winter came off during the recent visit OF
Gov. Kossuth at Washington, and he, with
Madame. was invited. as it was proper they
should be. The Corps Diplomatiqe did not at
tend. except few of those from Central and
South America, whasge not of the European
clique. What occas this marked neglect ?
When the Diplonatisss learned that Mons
ieur and Madame Kossuth had been invited the
Austrian Minister wrote a note to the managers
protesting against this invitation, and rejecting
as it ia said, in no measured terms on the char
actesr of the Hungarian exile. The Russian
Minister withdrew his usual subscription, and
other Ministers followed his example,! Here
was ridiculous muss. A very small matter,
for the Representatives of Kingdoms and EN-
pires These gentlemen hsd an undoubted
right to go the dance or stay at home; but
what right had they to supervise the committee
Of invitation, or to know or say who should be
received or excluded from this eonvival assem-
hly? None whatever, and it was a very small
undignifed piece of oficiousness. il shows their
fear of free men and free principles, even in
social lintercouHse-that is all.

Mr.. President. am glad my friend has

ton reflects on Louis Kossuth. Sir, Louis

Here, shouts and Kisses brought things to a
stand The Chairman decided that the orator
was out oforder; thereupon he closed bis re-
marks With an emphatic 'D-n the ConyeEi-
tion.' The affair produced considerable SEN
sation, both from the high position Of the or

suth. For the honor Of the State we trust
such things will n0t often occur, even in Loco
