THE NEXT EUROPEAN STEAMER.

So many steamers have arrived since the battle OF

SPECIE or SENATOR WELLS.

The speech in the Senate yesterday Of the senator
from New Hampshire in opposition TO the Frenchspoa-
ton bill was listened TO with marked attention. The
claims upon which this spoaon bill reposes have been
largely discussed, at various times in both houses OF
Congress- have been the topic of many publications in
the country, that the subject OF them hardly presents
field for speech either side which could be of general
interest except Of the views which
would control the action OF the speaker when called to
cord his vote. Mr. Wells however, by the grouping and
the attractive presentation of the objections TO the bill
which compelled him to oppose its passage gave in
terest to the question His illusions TO those great sntes
who the authors aud founders Of the democratic
organization the noble evnced by the senator
for the in ranks who have stood like sentnes
around the constitution and the rights of the States be-
spoke with unerrng accuracy the political faith of the
who pronounced them while they justified by their elo-
quence and power the high reputation popular
which all unite in according to Mr.. Wells,

A sCATHIYG REBUKF.

Our readers have long been OF the existence of
VIGOROUSLY proagate Journal in New York which claims
to be the sole organ and interpreter of American sentiment
and feeling Hitherto in this country these claims have
not been dignhed with notice contradiction 1t would
seem, however, thai the London Times has recently
eeyed the base coin true sample Of American currency
Noticing this OF design ignorance the part Of
the Times the New York Journal Of Commerce ponedly
remarks:
The editor Of the New York Herald is neither Ameri-
can by birth feeling. He Scotchnan, who damages
both the land Of his nativity and adoption BY the Of the
which he controls la circles the articles in
his paper with respect stocks and considered
indications Of sound opinion, bat the selfish
ents OF spectators Among sgaeous politicians his
fare against the administration u looked upon the ebo-
ton OF hostility for deserved contempt and supposed
disappointment and thinking and religious Of the
muniry regard the Herald the vest agency which the
Of sin have for extending and pcrpeasng
dominion the land"

BAD ADVICE.

We that who has watched the course OF
the Union will misunderstood misconsirue our position
towards know-nothngism when express our earnest
and decided dsapprobaton Of the sentiments contained
the below Of late speech Of John Mitchell to
tain military companies in Massachusetts composed Of for
egn citizens II population listen such advice they
expect that Of prejudice and intolerance
which is sweeping the country be arrested
They discard and repudiae such counse or they
be held responsible for little of that prejudice
which exists We quote the extract that may dis
tncty dsapproye the advice contained in it We cannot
but doubt that Mr. Mitchell uttered such sentiments
are contained in the following:
For every musket given in the State arory let three
be purchased forthwith let independent companies be
ed thrice the disbsnded corpsthere
arms acts yet and LET every foreigner be drilled and
trained and his always ready for you be
very hsvng experience in that mater that
who begin by disarmng you TO do you mischief.
BE careful not rucke in the smallest particular
American prejudices Yield not single jo Of your own
for You good right to your preudces they DO
not by any means suffer GARDENERS Bible (the Protestant
Bble) to be thrust down your throas DO abandon
your post or yss functions citizens sol
dier but after the last aud highest tribunal Of
open YOU keep the peace, attempt demonstrations
discourage drunkenness, and stand 70 your arms"
