The Baltimore american says: Though it
may sound paradoxical, it is still to be hoped
that, for the sake of humanity, the recent intel
ligence in regard to the fate Of Sir John Frank
lin and his adventurous companions, may be
fully confirmed, All hopes Of their rescue
alive ought to have been abandoned long since,
and the finding of the remains now will be but
the painful solving of problem whose mystery
has already put many valuable lives in danger,
and would probably continue to do SO as long
as the incentive it held out remained. With a
certain knowledge of the fate of Sir John
Franklin, every desire to penetrate the ice
bound region in which he met his death should
be earnestly discouraged. Let us have the
last Of Arctic expeditions, and the adventur-
Gus, searching spirits Of those who would en-
gage in them may be diverted to some service

Using Of practical and useful results. I.

Your correspondent, for some days past, has
been deeply absorbed in the study of New York
politics. The latest ON dit is that the Webster
and Fillmore wings are going to meet to-mor-
row, for the purpose Of formally cutting aloof
from the Seward coalitions. / apprehend,
however that two Democratic tickets leave an
open field to the Seward Fusionists, and that
they will carry the day with high hand, and
follow it up with such disclosures of their fu-
ture policy as will be very apt to wake up the
slumbering people of the South. The plan is
scrub race for the succession and the election
Of Seward, through the numerical strength of
the new anti-slayery alliance Of the North.
We shall probably not have any further
news from Europe for two or three days yet.

A NEW POLITICAL MOVEMENT ON
FOOT I'm NEW YORK.

We learn from the New York Herald that
the conservative Wings of New York were to
assemble yesterday to decide upon their course
of action in the approaching elections. It
seems from this movement that there is some
of the old fashioned Wing leaven left in the
Empire State. II seems that there are some
members of the old Wing party Of the Clay
and Webster times, who are unwilling to be
transferred by the corrupt action of corrupt
conventions to the Abolition party, like so many
goods and chattles. We hope for the sake of
conservatism and of political integrity that this
report will turn out to be true.
The conservative Wing force of New York
is estimated at from twenty-five to thirty thou
sand That number of votes withdrawn from
the Wing, Freesoil, Temperance, and woman's
Rights ticket headed by that striped and YER
satile politician Myron Fl. Clark, and bestowed
on the only sound conservative ticket offered
to the people of New York, would, in all proba-
bility elect Judge Bronson governor. Whether
this is meditated by the Silver Grays, we do
not know. They may design to help along
the Know-nothing ticket "a atsa3R

JUDGE DOUGLAS.

The Chicago Times says that Judge Doug
las returned to Chicago on the 10Th instant
,"He was met at the cars by committee ap-
Convention, and escorted to his rooms at the
fremont House. He left that city four weeks
ago, and since then has made over twenty
speeches at as many different places; and has
travelled on his route more than thousand
miles. We regret to say that his health, in
consequence of the great physical exertion he
has made, is not so good as it was. He re-
turns as undaunted in spirit and buoyant in
hope as man confident of the rectitude of his
cause can only be. A few days rest will, We
hope, restore him to his wonted health
The same paper says that
"During Judge Douglass tour, he was able
to fill every regular appointment made by him,
except two. One Of them was made at Lacon,
on Tuesday last, and the other at Aurora yes
hours on Wednesday. These appointments he
was unable to fulfil in consequence of extreme
illness.
"The Abolitionists of this city having sent
their appropriate mouthpiece, the negro, Fred
Douglas, to Aurora, yesterday, for the express
purpose of insulting Judge Douglas, the illness
of the latter gentleman was a sad disappoint-
ment to them. We think they may rejoice that
the latter was not able to speak.
"But as the negro had been paid for a days
duty, they determined to use him any how, and
for this purpose they organized a meeting at
the Universalist church, and the negro apostle
there held forth for over an hour. He was list
ened to quietly, and heard without interruption.
He was followed by Maine-law, Abolition
Know-nothing named Beeman, hailing from
New York, of the Legislature of which State he
claims to have been at one time member.
Both ofthese gentry or brethern' as they styled
themselves, spoke long and forcibly on the
value Of free speech, free press, and free every
thing generally.
cater they had concluded, and the crowd
about to dispense, gentleman from Ohio, who
was accidentally present, rose and asked il
there was no person present who would discuss
the other side Of the Nebraska question. BE
was answered by derisive shouts that there was
not Nebraska man in that region. He re-
piled that he was one. A gentleman of An.
rors, whose name we did not learn, who recog.
nized the Nebraska man as an old fried, moved
that Mr.. B. B. Chapman be requested to speak
Mr.. Chapman spoke for some time in an able
and effective manner. But the Abolitionists, un
willing to receive his destructive vollies, finally
broke up the meeting in row.

Although the civilized world has been eyre

news of the fall of Sebastopol, you need not be
surprised if, within few days, the aforesaid
Tartar is borne out in his fanciful exaggera-
tons by the official reports from General st.
Arnaud, Lord Raglan and the combined squad
ron. The Russians seem to be about as capa-
BILE of maintaining their stronghold, as the Mex
leans were to maintain their capital against
" Los Yeakeeze." And the battle of Alma, on
the approach to Sebastopol, is, we fear, but the
opening disaster of Contreras, to be followed
by Churubusco, Moline del Rey, and Chapul-
