AMERICAN PoLlTICs IN LoNDoN.-The letter
of the New York correspondent of the London
.Ni,os, on our domestic politics, which we pub
lish to-day, will unqnestionably BE- read with
considerable interest by all parties concerned.
1t is a pity that the facts of the case would not
warrant the writer in giving q more Aattering
account than he does give Of the capacities, the
achievements, and merits of the administration
at Washington, and Of its diplomatic appoint.
ments. We can excuse the writer, however, on
the ground that it is difficult, in American poll
tics, to avoid falling into the current of public
opinion, especially where the tide has been
bearing every thing before it, as in the elections
of the last twelve months But let John Bull
look sharp, or he may yet discover that he has

meantime, the London journals are quite well

FIRST FRUITS OF THE RECIPROCITY TREATY.
How the Canadians must chuckle when they
think of the reciprocity treaty For years
and years, the st. lawrence between Cornwall
and Montreal has been considered as only navi-
gable one way in consequence of the rapids,
and very expensive canals have been built,
through which vessels westward bound pass on
their way to Kingston. This, Of course, greatly
enhanced the cost of navigating the river.
Scarcely has the reciprocity treaty been agreed
to when the distinguished engineer Mons. Mail
lefert is requested to visit these insurmount-
able rapids. He announces that he will, with
the aid Of his submarine apparatus, very
speedily remove the distractions which prevent
vessels ascending the stream. Should his anti
cipations be fulfilled, the ST. Lawrence will
soon be navigable, for heavy vessels, both ways
from Lake Ontario to the gulf.

THE SEWARD SCHEME TO PACK THE ASSEMBLY
A most fatal error is being made by those who
are neglecting the elections for the State A :
semb!y, and devoting their whole thou sht to
the choice ola Governor. It is very true thai
the election of a man like Seymour would en-
ure VETO for the Liquor Prohibitory BILL but
why not seek the evil at its root, and coatrive
to send t. Albany an Assemb that will not
pass it at ali The question concerns the whole
community, and not the liquor dealers alone
Whether the house Of every citiz en- of the State
of New York shall continue to be hi, .,astle, as
heretofore, or whether all Of us shall t., exposed
to domicilary visits from spies aud informers,
who may come at any hour of the day or night
force us to open our doors, and suffer them to

the character of the men whom we may choose
to represent lis in the State Assembly depends
its solution If we neglect the matter, we shall
be forced to accept the latter view of the case.

Another reason why the choice of a sembly-
men is particularly important at the present
time, is on account Of the selection of United
States Senator which follows. A very little
negligence on the part of the conservatives will
secure William II. Stewards re appointment,
and for another term OF six years, New York
will figure in the United States Senate as free
soil State This again is simply question of

Cost OF THE PIERCE ADMINISTRATIONS. = From
the published statement of the appropriations
made by Congress during the last session, we
gather that the government Of the country is
costing US something over seventy millions of
dollars year, or a trihe less than two dollars
and seventy-tive cents per head. There was
time when an annual expenditure of forty mil.
lions would have caused an outcry; and we are
not sure that the government has more to do
now than it had then, or does its business in
more complete or satisfactory manner. The
reason Of the difference is very simple As the
United States increase, the revenue expands;
and it is not in the nature of politicians to re-
sign any portion Of it. What money they OBJ
tain they spend: if we had customs revenue
Of one hundred and fifty millions, the case
would be precisely the same, except perhaps
that we would have more ambassadors abroad
in black velvet, more editors at home attached
to the kitchen cabinet and more usurpers in
our neighborhood subsisting on our bounty.

AGLooMY PROSPECT FOE GENERAL PIERCE
The present administration ID rapidly drawing
to close, 90 far as any power to originate or
carry out measures Is concerned. Even the
most inveterate toadies of the Cabinet are forced
to confess that each elect on return is death
knell to their hopes of having any influence
whatever with the next House of Representa-
tives. After the third day of March, '55, Gene
raj Pierce becomes powerless; and for the
balance of his Presidential term he must confiue
himself to the merest routine duties, thanking
his stars if She next ongress will even pass the
appropriation bills, bereft of every extraneous
item, and cut down to the most economical
standard. As there is, at all events nomiaally,
an adm nistration majority in the Senate, that
body may act as shield, in some respects, to
the President in the assaults of the popula r
branch Of Congress; but this viii ouly be ne
gative benefit, saving him the necessity OF fire.

ed, is rapidly becoming convert to the one
term principle; and as for his Cabinet, they will
have an admirable opportunity of retiring to
the shades of private life, consoling themselves
with the reflection that if Marcy, Davis and
Guthrie cannot wear the imperial purple, it is
the fate Of our great men for Clay, Calhoun

What gloomy prospect after March B. 1855

ministration at every turn. Alter an ineffectu-

The Senate will refuse to acquesce in it.

stopping the wheels of government upon such
an issue, insisting upon it, and the Appropria-
ton bill in consequence fal ing throu h! Or

House, and the bill, with the repeal of the fu-
gitive law, coming before General Pierce for
his assent CT veto!
Verify, the way Of the transgressor is hard.
The administration of General Pierce win be
productive of one good at least. 1t will loom
up as warning to all future Presidents to
avoid his errors, and trust to honesty and rec
titude as the basis OF government; and it will
act as solemn warning to the people of the
