THE DAILY DISPATCH
THURsDAY MORNING.. JANE ARY II. lass

THURSDAY MORNING. JANE ARY IL, is,s
THx IMaacuLATE CoSckrTioE "A letter
to the Newark Daily Advertiser. dated Paris
Decs 10th, announces the reception in that
city. by the Pope's Nuncio, Of the papal bull
pronulgsting the new dogma. A positive
article Of Napoleon's Concordant provides
that no bull shall be promulgated in France,
without the appreciation of the Council of
State; and The writer states that it is rumored
that serious opposition was preparing in that
body, and that N. de Gormeniu will pro-
nounce an elabolsse Grafton against grant
lag the visa. He gives q further rumor that
NJ. Issmbert, Judge of she Court of Casa
ton. win put forth pamphlets IN opposition
to the dogma. The writer, severthele.s,
predicts that the opposition will NOS be sue
cessful, and that the Council will yield.
PoLITIcs.-The contest in the State cam
paign begins to show signs of warmth and
bitterness that will be Sufficiently excessive
to crafty the most morbid appetite. There
il class Of men who are never so happy as
when there is great excitement AS when the
Wings are "giving the Democrats the devil,
and vice versa. They jump up early in the
morning and clutch the papers with delights
to see what is the last palpable hit, the last
"sockdolsger."
This canvass is quite godsend, in the alb
sence of the LIE sislature and the excitement
its deliberations generally occasion at this
season of the year. 1t gives great relief to
excitable gentlemen, who must have some
thing to bother theiy brains about, since it is
impossible that their onn business can mo-
norolize their time and reflections The
good of the community is certainly para
mount TO that of individuals, and it is under
the pressure of this great principle, we
doubt not, that we have so many people sur
rendering their own inconsiderable and un-
important interests to take care of the State
STREET VEHIcLEs-The brief article put
forth in the Dispatch, yesterday, under this
head, met, as far as we hear, the unanimous
appreciation of the merchants. 1t is indeed
time that the cumbrous wagons and drays
which belong to the age of old fogyism
should BIZ dispensed with altogether, and the
light spring wagons and trucks. which are
so handy, so much easier to horses and mules,
and make SO much less noise, should succeed
them. The change would promote the COM
fort of every body, and save an enormous ex-
pendture for paving. The Council ought to
grant no license to any new dray or wagon
of the present description That body is lib
eral in its spirit of Improvement, and we hope
to seeit give an additional proof of its prac-
teal good sense by regulation of this kind
EY We have received poetic contribu-
ton from gentleman of talent in Augusta
but its subject is political, and consequently
we shall not be able to give it insertion. The
Dispatch is neutral journal, and leaves the
domain of politics to those presses which are
devoted to the subject. With the exception
of keeping our readers advised of the politi
cal moveme nts of the day, politics is to us
as journalists, forbidden ground, on which
we have no desire of entering.
DEATH OF MARTIN VAN BuREN.-The celebrated
lion, Martin Van Buren,, died in the menagere
rooms of Raymond & Co, in Auburn, N. Y, few
nights ago, at the age of about thirty years. This
hon was presented to Martin Van Buren, at the time
