ALLEGED PREsIDEETIAL DIcTATIoN,-We
have no information on the subject OF the fol-
lowing, other than what is contained in it. we
quote from the Boston Commonwealth
aThere having been manifestations that
Harry Hibbard's vote on the Nebraska bill
had spoiled his chances of being supported by
the Democrats for United States Senator, the
Independent Democrat says letter missive has
been sent to the faithful in New Hampshire,
to make known to them the will and pleasure 4
of the supreme dictator, the affectionate
Frank Pierce The declaration OF the su-
preme will il, that the Administration are de-
termined to have Hubbard or nobody; and
that any opposition to him on account Of his
vote on the Nebraska bill will be regarded
and treated as opposition to the Administra-
ton. inasmuch as Hubbard had done what he
did in accordance with the wishes Of himself
the PRESIDENT He adds that hereafter,
no man is to be considered a Democrat I'M
less he supports that bill
If this be true, New Hampshire could not
elect Mr.. Hubbard, even if he were with her

ports give rise to the worst fears for the safety
Of the steamship City Of Glasgow, and her
precious freight Of over four hundred human
beings.
The loss OF three hundred lives from the
wreck Of the Powhatan, on the New Jersey
coast, is attributed, partly to the inefioiency
Of the Government STATIONS on that coast, and
partly to the absence Of the neighboring in
habitants from the beaches on the occasion OF
storm, in consequence of their having been
accused Of land piracy--or, so it is stated in
letter to the Philadelphia Ledger. The Buile-
tin Of that city well says, that it is disgraceiul
to the country, that human life can be lost by
hundreds, within fifty miles Of the two chief
cities Of the Union, when a competent provis-
ion by Government would render it highly
probable that wrecks, even when they did 90
cur, would not DO fatal to the passengers or
crew.

is pronounced by some Of tho papers . sufficient
cas,ls bslli, and good cause for the seizure Of
the island.
A disposition to have fight with some ma
ton is said to be manifested by the American
people. If war is so expensive as our last,
when We are successful, what might it not prove
should We b foggoda Ten years more Of
peace, industry, and prudence, will show won
derfal progress in the United States. Let US
