morning devoted, for the most part, to
the condition of the Harmonious in New
York. The editor deals exceedingly
gentle with the National Democrat and
the Albany Argus, their two party pa
pers in the State of New York, now doing
most in the way of endeavoring to en-
barrass the Pierce administration. 1t
strikes us that if the Union would dof'
its kids, and take good stout hickory
IN hand, it would soon settle all the trou-
bles IN that quarter. A glance at the
record of the late session of the New
York Legislature will satisfy any man
that On every question really in issue
the banks, interpretations, the canal CD
largement, theimpeachment case, and sun
dry little favors sought to be obtained by
sundry conference.-the few hackers of the
National Democrat and Albany Argus al
ways voted dead against their nominal par
ty. Now, instead of stopping to admins
ter homeopathic doses of sweet-tempered
caution to the sore-headed in that quar-
ter-of expostulation against the injustice
of making war on the supporters of the
Champlin resolutions, only on the ground
that they are not honest in voting for
them-if the Union would at once ego inn
for all sorts of schemes upon public trea-
suries, National and State, the New York
difficulty would be settled in trice. At
least so far as the growing of the Argus
and the National Democrat and their
hackers are concerned. These parties are
fighting behind bush. Their aim is
clearly to brighten the National Admins
tration into a dread of probable conse-
quences of standing by the most of their
party in New York, in their very decided
positions upon questions of expenditure
and constitutional construction. This
fact is made apparent by the very last po-
sitlon assumed by them. Thus, they have
abandoned the plea that the ''Softs" do
not pledge themselves to acquiesce and
sustain their Baltimore platform, and now
insist only that they 1.-THE Softs) arc not
sincere in giving this pledge. We repeat,
"hickory oil" is better remedy for their
ailing, than fraternally squeezing their
hands in white kids.
The Inteligeneer presents it's readers
with third and very interesting extract
from Colonel Bcnton's forthcoming book,
treating of British indemnity tor depor-
ted slaves" The same paper continues
its quotations from leading European
journals in explanation of the Turco-
Russian affair, and on the views of Euro
pean publicists upon it.
The Republic discusses the Fisheries
question in an essay of two columns and
quarter, going over the history of our
fisheries in and around tho waters in dis
pute. We understand the editor as urg-
ing the views held by our fishermen.
The Sun joins issue with the New York
Tribune, over the criticisms of the latter
upon the toadyism evinced in the arrange
ments of those having charge of the Crys-
tai Palace, in the matter of their conduct
in thrusting militia officers and civic
would-be dignitaries into the places OF
honor in their proceedings, and taking no
notice Of the men of science and mechan-
ical skill by whom they are surrounded.
The Clippers leader treats of Comman-
der 1ngraham's recent gallant conduct in
the harbor of Smyrna, wherein he nobly
did his duty in the matter of compelling
the Austrian authorities to respect the
rights of American citizenship; though it
eventually turned out that the person in
whose behalf Commander |. exerted him.

of this Government. The Clippers views
on this subject are just such as should be
entertained by every lover of freedom.
