TIE ART UNION LoTTERY-DIsTRIBUTIo Posi-
PoNEp.-We perceive that the distribution Of the
Art Union paintings is indefinitely postponed. We
are not at all surprised at this movement. The
directors say they short Of funds, although they
have received within the year SOL 800 by their own
showing. They want more money, and attribute
the smalness Of their receipts to the "Kossuth ex
element and to the Commercial dstresses" Of
the country. This statement of reasons is not only
concerned, we had, in 1850, the Jenny Lind flTore
which did not affect the institution, and as to CON-
mercial distress, nothing of the kind has been ex-
perienced. The country never was more prosper
GUS than it has been during the past year, arising
principally from the immense receipts Of gold from
California, which enable people to indulge moro
freely than in gratifying their taste for the fine
arts, and in INDUCING in all kinds of fnery.
The directors say in their card that they will not
reply to any "abuse;" and that they are all highly
respectable in their social relations. We do not
know that they have been abused and we have no
doubt but that the most them are highly respect.
able as individuals. But as directors Of q public
institution, they are amenabc to the public for the
management conducted under their name From
that responsibility they cannot escape. Tho truth
is that the Art Union is in the hands Of an abolition
clique, and siugularIy enough it appears from facts
which have come to our knowledge, that in addi-
ton to paying for oyster and champagne suppsrs

Now, here is presented very small specimen, bu,
an excellent sample of the way in which journalism
is used by the political traders and wire pullers
There fe, throughout the United States about O0O
newspapers; Of these, only very small number. in
the large cities, are independent while the rest-the
great massacre tools in the hands Of incompe-
tent persons Their proprietors and conductors are
for the most part country printers who know nothing
about the politics Of the country beyond the small
circle Of their county Of the merits of their town
and county officers they may DO tolerably well in
formed, but they have never been introduced into
the mysteries Of the great political ntrigues that
reach and affect the national conventions They
may be sharp enough in the exercise of all
the small chicanery necessary to elect constable,
or, possibly, Sheriff but beyond this they are en-
tirely at a loss.
Independent journals can only exist in largo
cities, where an extended circulation and large ad-
vertisng patronage will warrant the employment of
good talent, at prices commemorate with its value
These can, and do live on their own resources--on
returns they receive from the valuable publications
which they daily present to the public. Their in
fuencc is immense, because tho public know that
they are net the mere echo Of clique or party;
and even partisans themselves refer to the columns
