U Newspapers, like men, of one idea,
cannot succeed. Some of them may, +
judiciously managed in their business
departments. take root and grow, but the
majority will have brief career. One
idea journalism cannot succeed in this
age. A Protestantism, consisting only
in an abuse Of Popery, or Catholicity
existing only in highly wrought philipics
against sectionalism, has no vitality.
Truth, as opposed to error, will live; but
not hate as opposed to form, or form as
against form, if both lack the substance.
Tbs greatest folly Of the day is the DO
litico-religious discussion that is now
being carried on throughout the country
by the conductors ofthe press, whs neve,
were, and, to judge from their malignant
productions, never will be actuated by it's
revivifying and soul-eleansing influences.
Twas this fell spirit that made desolate
the fairest spots of the Old World. As
lovers of their country, let Americans
frown it to death that it may not blight
the New World.

U The Ice has again damned up the
SusquehanBa river at Havre dc Grace, so
as to prevent the regular transmission of
the mails, between this city end New
York. We learn from the Baltimore
American that the lassengers that left
Philadelphia yesterday morning were
detained on the cast side Of the river for
several hours. Finally, the ice became 80
compact that the passengers were enabled
to cross on it, and the mails and baggage
were brought over on Stats. The passen-
gers by the express train also crossed on
the ice, and arrived at BaltimOre about
an hour behind the usual time. Julien,
and the members of his orchestra, were
passengers in the morning train, and their
anxiety to arrive i'll time to fulfil
their engagement at Baltimore last night,
was intense. 1t will be a glorious thing
for travellers and business men, when the
bridge over. the Susquehanna is completed.

The VINO PRIMARY ELEcTIoNs.--H was
pretty generally understood some time since
that the Seward wings would come of second
best at the elections which were held on Tues
day. But no one-except perhaps some Of the
long headed leaders Of the Know Nothing
had any idea that they would be 60 utterly
routed as they have been. In Mr.'Seward's
worst days, New York never showed SO
united front against him. With the aid Of
two daily journals devoted to his personal in
terests, he has been 80 badly beaten that his
Interior prospects for the Presidency must be
regarded as seriously impaired. New York has
dealt tremendous blow at the faction which
has derived strength from his name, and has
proved herself free from the contagion which
has overspread so large section Of the State
Mr.. Sewar0's course on the Nebraska bill,
which was perfectly consistent with his former
conduct--his Identification with the abertive
convention at Saratoga, and the stain Of abc
htion which clings to his character---were among
the causes which contributed to bring about
this result. The efforts Of his organs to belle
the conservative section Of the whlg party
have only availed to warn the Union wings Of
the dangers of their position, and incitc them
to shake off oil semblance Of fellowship with
the abolition seceders from their ranks It was
not only said that the Union wings were allied
at heart with the followers Of Mr.. Seward,
but It was loudly proclaimed that Sew
araism had made such progress since
the passage Of the Nebraska bill that
the conservative wing party had dwindled
down to o fragment Of its former strength
We hope Mr.. Stewards friends will hasten to
correct these errors. Conservative whiggism
seems to possess fair share of vitality still;
and does not look as though it was 80 deeply
imbued with Sewardism as the Auburn agita-
tor would have us believe.
But the largest share of the victory belongs
10 the Know Eotaings, whom Mr.. Seward has
into deadly enemies. He was well
aware that their asimosity awaited him: and
tremendous exertiops were made and large
tums Of money spent in tho hope Of paralyising
their Efforts Even 20 late rs on Monday last,
the Seward leaders were confident that with
the help Of tie Irish they would carry the dGy.

piIations to the Presidency have been
made pablo, it is particularly satls.ac-
tory TO think that his own party in the me.
tropoiis Of the Union has testified its disappro-
baton Of his conduct in so marked a manner
This last Know Nothing triumph likewise de-
serves attention. This new party has now es-
tsblished its sway over the whole West, North
and East, and has penetrated many portions OF
the South. 1t has everywhere proved invinci-
BILE: the greatest regulations have been unable
