MYSTERIOUS PUBLICATIONS AT PEKIN-A NUT
FOR SENATOR SLlDELL~-We give In to-day's
HERALD curious account Of curious affair
which recently took place at the capital city Of
China 1t eeems that official documents creep
into the columns OF the Pekin Gazette as we'll
as those Of the New YORK HERALD, and that
the information 80 given 10 the public is found
by the Shdells Of the Central Flowery King
dom to be decidedly unauthorized aud prema-
ture. We trust that the honorable Senator
from Louisiana win peruse this account care
fully, and then ascertain whether or not there
are any Woo-ting-poos and Fung paOue at Wash
ington. He (the Senator) hos been in an agi-
tated state Of mind several times on this SUD-
ject and has threatened TO do very naughty
things to the proprietor of this paper, the cor
respondents thereof, and, for aught we know,
the readers Of the HERALD may be included in
the punishment list, for our subscribers are GER
tainly particeps criminis, if there is any c rime
about it Singular to say, they rather like it,;
and as the unauthorized news is always found
to be as correct if received 10 proofs from the
official printing Office, the Senate of the United
States is frequently indebted to the HERALD for
the most important information in convenient
and portable form-oade the Trist treaty in
l84S, and several other matters Of less note, but
still interesting
We have condensed the Chinese accounts
of the Pekin affair; but we have them in
full, fairly translated, and they are at Mr..
Slidell's service. He has long been anxious
to find some means by which be could
get positive information relative to these
premature publications. and he will find
the Chinese plan, although it is rather cir
cuitous, to be very good. Some Of the en-
ployes Of this Office might object to being i'm
prisoned, as Wang tih Kur and his brother typos
were; but in matter Of such Immense import
ance, Mr.. Slidell might have the ha6eas corpus
act suspended. One of the HERALD oorrespon-
dents was imprisoned in 4s-and if one, why
not all?
Let Mr.. Slidsll organize his Court Of Exa-
miners beginning in the style Of that illustrioas
monarch, the Son Of the Sua and Brother Of the
Moon, Emperor of the Central Flowery King
dom. What fun we should have were Mr..
Slidell invested with imperial power News
paper correspondents, like the aged colored
gentleman so touchngly alluded to in q popu-
lar Ethiopian ballad, would be obliged to hang up
the fiddle and the bow--their occupation would
be gone. The information for the country would
all come through Emperor Slidell Judging
from the amount Of light the people have
already received from that source, we are in
clined to the opinion that the HERALD's prema-
ture and unauthorized publications are better
than Senator Slidells authorized and official
intelligence could be. However, fools rush
in" and so forth. The proverb is musty and
if Mr.. Slidel desires to take lesson in
espionage from the Chinese, be can have the
documents

We see by the telegraphio dispatches ex-
actly what this Michigan coalition conven-
tion has been doing, what is their platform,
and how far it is adapted to the beautiful theory
Of Thurlow. The Michigan convention will be
useful as guide to the Saratoga omnium
gatherum of the 10th of August Out of the
prevailing "noise and confusion things will
come into tangible shape in few weeks. The
remains of the wing party Of New York, and a
portion of the Buffalo democracy, will be sold
out at Saratoga to the anti-slavery Holy Al
lance. We are given to understand that q plat
form can be adopted at Saratoga upon which
"every whig Of every Northern State can
stand" Very likely. At all events, after the
10th Of August we may expect to see the wings
of the South acting, instead Of talking, for an
independent Southern wbig convention.
