POWELL AND HIS GREAT PANTING.-The great
national painting of Powell is still on exhibit
tion at the Academy of Design in Broadway
and those strangers in the city who have not
yet seen it had better hasten to do SO, because
it is to be removed by the middle OF end Of the
week to New Orleans. The artist has made
arrangements with Mr.. Morris, who is acquaint-
ed with picture exhibitions, to embark in a few
days to exhibit this painting in the South,
whence he will proceed west, up the Mississippi,
to show it in the various cities along that river
till he reaches Pitsburg; thence he will return
over the mountains, and exhibit at some other
cities on his way, before it is finally placed
in the Capitol at Washington, for which
it was painted by MIR. Powell pursuant to the
order Of Congress
This great work, one of the most striking
pieces Of art pr oduced in the the present age.
has been discussed by newspaper critics in this
ely, Of all kinds and all tempers. Some of the
small critics of the day, who write for the
columns Of the Sunday press have censured it
without knowing nything Of the subject and
one magazine, and only one, putnam's) has
condescended to be a common scavenger of the
filthy vituperation. 1t is gratifying however,
that every true lover Of art who has beheld and
studied the painting, has acknowledged, with
out single dissenting voice, the high merits of
Mr.. Powell. We are glad to learn that Mr.
Brady, with his usual activity and foresight
has secured copies of the work in daguerreo-
type, lest anything should befal it in the con-
templated tour.
In The meantime, while the picture goes to
New Orleans, we unders tand the painter him
self will remain in this city and open studio
for the practice of his art, in the upper part of
Broadway. Already he has received numerous
orders from wealthy persons. the subjects to be
chosen by himself, and the paintings to be
flushed according to his ideas Of original
beauty. Mr. Powell is the only artist of emf
nence now in the city, and we have no doubt
that his countrymen and the public will extend
to him that encouragement and patronage
which true genius ought always to command.

The LOBBY AND COL FoRNEY.-We under
stand that George Law and Edwin Croswell
have been actively engaged of late in canvas
sing for Col. Forney. There is nothing surpris-
ing in this. Forney's experience as clerk and
lobby agent must have rendered him most
valuable coadjutor to any one who has favors to
expect from Congress. Moreover, as Clerk of the
House he will have many opportunities Of hur-
rying through appropriation bills, and render
ing other important services to gentlemen in
terested in steamships, contracts, &c. We sup
pose every body knows George Lava man of
much originality and grasp of mind-th archi-
tect of his own fortune, and an operator who
does not allow himself to be much embarrassed
by abstract considerations We are not aware
that he baunts any church, though he occasion
ally Furnishes sinners at Washington in a
financial way. Edwin Croswell, on the other
hand is devout Christian, and very hard
national. He is great stickler for the politi-
cal principles Of his party. strange thing, is
it not to see these two men, so different in al
most every respect as to pass for embodiments
OF moral extremes, united in their Washington
labors and that for the purpose Of electing the
writer of stool-pigeon letter to the clerkship
of the House?
We are further informed that report accuses
George Law of having bought up the HERALD.
We seldom notice such charges. as we really do
not see why we should advertise the silly nom
sense, and give it publicity which it's origina-
tors could not bestow. But we advise the be-
: levers in the story to ask George Law himself
whether he has bought us, and how much he
gave They will probably be answered to their
hearts content Ifhe has, we fear he has made
an excessively bad bargain.

DECLINE AND FALL or THE WoMENs' RIGHTS
MovEMENT.-It is astonishing how rapidly ia
naticisms, and isms and excitements of all
kinds spring up, and how rapidly they decline
in this country. They grow up like mush-
rooms, and they as quickly decay. The Wo-
mems Rights movement is o remarkable evil
dence Of this. It created terrible excitement
in the beginning; but it has already collapsed.
The meeting at Rochester, of which an account
will be found in our columns, was very tame
affair, and very significant of the approaching
dissolution Of the pantalettes dynasty that has
been growing into Importance for the last two
or three years. They have practically aban-
doned their claim to wear the breeches for
"Bloomers" are. going out Of fashion, even
with the lady agitators themselves though we
learn there are some of them now figuring at
Washington. This ism originally consisted Of
some two or three hundred men and women,
who, discontinued and unhappy creatures at
home got up conventions to pour out their in
dignation on the whole male sex. They de-
nounced men as brutes and savages for deny
ing them their rights, and among these rights
they claimed the right to be Presidents Of the
United States generals in the Army, members
Of Congress. doctors, and every other descrip-
ton Of officials and professionals; while, at the
same time, they contended that the husbands
Of the lovely aspirants after public honors
should be contented to wash and nurse the
babies, mend the stockings, and look after the
cooking Of the dinner, provided they did not
live in boarding houses. But it SO turned out
that at every one of their conventions there
were the same actors and the same speeches,
and the people, consequently, have got tired
of the farce. They laughed at it for while,
but now demand a new excitement. What the
next is to be, Heaven only knows.

AS there cannot be any material difference
between the above resolutions and those which
will shortly be formally Incorporated into the
administration platform, the public are now in
position to judge of the course the govern
ment is about to pursue. Some time ago, we
stated that its policy rested on one principle
only-the division Of the spoils it has now
two, the protection Of the stoolpigeon interest
being regularly established as a plank Of the
platform. On these two great principles, Gen.
Pierce's policy will henceforth be based. In the
food of considerations which such develope-
ment suggests, one is at loss to know which
to seize first; the country has claim upon our
sympathies, and the poor President, upon whose
character all these successive discoveries are
telling ffightfulIy, is entitled to some defence
at the hands Of those who still discriminate be-
tween him and bis Cabinet and their supporters.

OF coursc the staple ingredient in these lee
lures will be abuse of the South and of South
ern morals and society. Every murder COM
mitted south of Mason and Dixon's line will be
traced to the effect Of slavery; every assault
will be shown to flow from the relation between
master and slave; every crime in the calendar
will be directly imputed TO the influence of the
domestic institution. The lecturers will be
driven into the conclusion that if slavery were
eradicated at the South, vice and crime would
disappear with it. II will not occur to any of
them-or probably to the audience-to test the
truth Of the view by comparing the moral con-
dition of the North with that of the South.
People who broadly take such ground as that
occupied by the lecturers above mentioned. and
undertake to denounce whole people, or a
whole country, or whole system of labor, sell
dom condescend to examine statistics. If they
did in this instance, they would find that crime
is six times more abundant in those States
where free labor is established than in those
where slave labor Is the labor; and thus the
strong point of the lecturers would be refuted.
If moreover, they occasionally deigncd to deal
in reasoning as well as invective, they would
infallibly discover that systems Of labor have
little or nothing to do with crime; but it were
unreasonable to expect argument from Garrison
and his compeers. Rant is their stock in trade.
Let them stick to it,

But, perhaps, the most obvioas consequence of
the noble art Of playing stool-pigeon. The
bones OF Onc-eyed Thompson will rattle with
vexation in their grave at the thoughts Of what
he lost by destroying himself 50 prennaturely;
and poor Bristol Bill, whom an inamreciative
jury in Vermont have lodged in the peniten-

because he allowed himself to be caught before
Forney raised the trade TO an honorable rank
