THE HERALDS EXCL USH'E NEWS.
of The n. Y. Tribune.

Correspcndepce of The ~ Y. Tribune.
Paris, Thursday. June ID, 1854
Sometime ago disreputable journal of New-York
The Herald announced withts usual parade Of tire
"mendous expense " and exclusive intelligence, ~
that treaty had been concluded in London between
Mr. Buchanan and the British cabinet on the subject
Of neutral rights. This before any particular at
tention had been given to the subject either by the
Government or the public; aad If the editors of that
paper had possessed the ordinary sagacity which nd
viduals in their position presumed possess they
would have known that no minister is authorized to
enter into important treaty negotiations without full
and explicit power from his Government IN that par
tculsr question: that il foreign minister proposes 10
enter into treaty negotiations with the Government on
certain question of importance, they first demand to
see his powers and the propositions which he has to
make. A minister thus attempting 10 treat without
those special powers is regarded as having committed
a very grave oticnse toward his Government, and one
which ought and does subject aim 10 official disgrace
The memorable instance in history where such
not denounced and not repadated by the Gov
ernmenf that of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidal-
20. After Mr. Irst had shown bis Credentials and
tered into treaty negotiations with the Mexican Gov
ernment his powers withdrawn; but the Mexican
Government did not know that fact and continued
treat with the ambitious Mr. Trist until the nesotia-
tons were terminated. The President and Cabinet
indignant at the conduct of Mr.. Trist but being
satisfied with the terms OF the treaty, and anxious to
"tn9 INC "hI 10 ttoec, aSitto W tue
oense aud accept his treat legal In the instance
under consideration such powers have been granted
by Mr.. Pierce's Administration 10 either OF the En-
bassadors at London or Paris and the Satanics nte
gence therefor must have been not only very exclusive
but very absurd. The truth is that the subject was
first started by NJ. Drouyn de Lhuys al Paris, and |
was there made toe subject Of unofficial conversation
with Mr.. Mason before any atteation was paid 10 t
either in London or Washington After the French
Cabinet had directed the attention OF the English Cab
net to the subject, the discussion then became public
through the medium OF the English Parliament.
IL msy here be proper TO remark, also that the Sa-
aaic Press has lately given publicity through s Paris
correspondence 20 some gr0ss falsehoods and SANDER
us insinuations against the private character Of Mr.
fason which afterward repeated in Is editorial

THE CONVENTIONS will be seen by the
respective calls which we publish, the Demo-
cratic convention for this county, and also that
for the twenty-third Senatorial District, is to be
held on the tenth of next month. The time
designated is such that full attendance Of del
egates may be easily secured. Every town shold
be fully and fairly represented. Then we may
look for the nomination of candidates that will
command united support from the democracy
of the county and district. To this end we
confidently hope that the caucuses will be we'll
looked after; so that men may be chosen there
at as delegates who will in all respects give ef-
feet to the popular will. This is the true OBJ
ject of the convention SYSTEM and duty in ref
erence to its faithful accomplishment is mpos-
ed on Democrats which they are too much in
clined to disregard. AS general thing there
is great neglect in turning out to the primary
meetings. In consequence these are too often
managed solely by few cunning politicians,
and sometimes by corrupt ciques who make
them instrumental towards accomplishing the
most foul Vaccinations. Such abuses have,
even, grown up in some parts of the country,
that many have been led to urge an abandon
ment of the convention system altogether So
far as this we are not prepared to 60. The
plan we now follow in making nominations is
good, provided the people will vigilantly guard
it, and thus make it subservc the purpose of it's
institution. If there is any danger. that the
system here will fall into discredit, let us
have this avoided by more general attendance
on the part of the people at the primary meet
ings, and by the exercise of such care in the Sc
lection Of delegates that our conventions will
be represented by the democracy itself, and not
by any combination of political hucksters. If
this is done throughout, the will of the MAORI
ty will prevail, the best men will be put in nom-
nation, there will be no excuse for boiling the
regular ticket, we shall act together with efli-
cheney and achieve at the polls proud DEM
ocratic victory A proper administration
of public affairs should at all times be matter
of deep interest to each citizen. This is par
ticulary the case now, when various questions
of State policy, possessing unusual Importance
are presenting themselves and demanding i'm
mediate action. The exgencies of the times
call for the election Of men of ability, and men
too, who will be beyond the reach Of all cor
rupting influences. Let the people see to this
matter. Let them be up and doing in good sea.

PROPELLER OTTAwA.-We sometime since
noticed the build, strength and capacity of the
staunch propeller built by the Messrs. FERRYs
and BARBER, exclusively for the Grand River
and Chicago travel and trade, and expressed the
view that she had met the expectations of the
public in every respect save in the point of
speed. The owners have, however, been san
guine Notwithstanding her slowness hereto
fore) that when her machinery had been in use
short time, and the alterations made in her
engine which they designed, that she would full.
ly meet the public interest in this respect
The changes contemplated were made the past
week, and she now comes out making time,
even beyond the anticipations of her enterpris-
ing owners. She is fine craft, and the public
may rest satisfied that she will now meet their
wishes in every respect, making her semi-week-
ly trips promptly in accordance with her pub
lished time.

GA Democrat of 40 years experience" pre-
diets that either Captain lngraham of the st.
Louis or Captain Hollins, of the Cyane,' will
be taken up as the Wing candidate for Presi-
dent He says, he has "never known it to fail,
that when the Wing press took to abusing the
men and measures of Democratic administra-
ton as they have done in the Smyrna and Grey
town affairs, they were sure to take up some
one of the prominent actors in it, as their can
didate!" Certainly-they put up Harrison be-
cause he had fought in the war of 1912, which
they denounced from press and pulpit, rs a
"heaven defying war"--and afterwards, Gen.
Taylor, for his bravery in Mexico, which war
they had just previously denounced as "worse
than stealing!" On this rule, they will be like
Iy to take up Capt. Ilolins, as the best abused
of the two but it is quite doubtful if the gallant
old sailor would have anything to do with them

ozY- The following was thrown into our Of
fce-probably suggested by witnessing the
melancholy accident to which we alude in an
other part of our paper:
What is sympathy! A similarity of feel
ing with the distressed! Sorrowing with
those in trouble weeping with those who weep,
sharing in others woes! Yes. There is
sweetness in rendering some kindly Office to
the afflicted Of our nature there is relief when
the fountains Of the bosom are broken up and
the warm dew drops of the heart are felt couss-
ing down the sorrow grown cheek. Bu' the
depth of sympathy is agony unntterable lie
that has seen whole family precipitated INTO
the watery element, that has seen the parents
clinging to the only means of safety from
watery grave, supported by the only human be-
ings that could, were it not for their own safe
ty, save their lovely children from the death OF
drowning, has felt what falls to the lot of few.
Oh may such instances be yet more rare
Watch the countenances Of those parents as
their eyes stand out with anxiety gazing at their
offspring struggling for life, but beyond the
reach of help. Mark the changes of hope de-
cning, plainly delineated MS the cords of aflec-
ton one after another are severed ; yea, torn
from their deep rooted source, until all is lost
and the awful reality is evident. Hear those
means, though in a language not understood,
and as the warmth Of human kindness and COM
miseralion for its kind dffuses itself through
the man, feeling of anguish comes over him,
and the waxen cords Of sympathy melt away
and drip at every pulsation of the heart. until
the vital energies almost cease to perform their
Office
