REvIvING THE OLD WING PARTY.-On Mon
day Of last week, we perceive by our exchanges,
q number of wings Give and straight whigs)
met at Lexington, KY, to reorganize the old
whig party. An address and platform were
adopted, and the meeting adjourned "to meet
in convention of the wings of the United States
to be held at Louisville on the 4th of July"
The following is the third section Of this Ken
lucky PLATFORM
That every right protected yby the constitution
should be faithfully accorded to every class Of
whom its provisions EXTEND without regard to section
birth religion of the parties entitled to such rights
and that loyalty to the government honesty and cspsc
" The true tests Of the eligibility Of to the
joyment Of the franchises Of citizens.
This rings little like treason to the late
Philadelphia Convention; but it only shows
that the straight wings" are getting tired of
their Know Nothing uniform, and there is
great danger that they will throw it of, Pre-
sident or no President. What says Governor
Hunt, and what say our Give old wings" of
New York-the real true blue "silver grays''-
to this Kentucky straight wing platform? Let
US hear from them.

Aided by citizens Of the United States, and by

democratic party of Nicaragua was able to
narchical administration, and to establish in
its place a republic modelled after our own,
and conducted ia spirit OF economy and fair
ness which, under the circumstances Of the
case, challenges the world for its counterpart
The new republic promptly despatched its

our and the substantial interests Of all the

Department was sullenly closed in his face.
Mr.. Marcy was infez ibie The republic OF NJ
caragua was the work Of Americans, and he
could not and would not acknowledge it's de

sary to be convinced that there was no other
government there; and to get rid of this diem

These are the acts of the c hiefs Of the demo-
cratic party who came into power On one Of
those tenth pillows which was able to bear for
ward even the most lifeless objects and the
most sated masses of corruption aud decay.
The storm has passed, and the wreck, strewn
upon the beach and floating in the sea, is to be
gathered together and again turned to the
uses Of man. Not to the old oficers-the treach-
erous pilot, to pursue the figures again to be
entrusted the navigation Of the ship-not to
the hea-tless wreckecs, who, intent upon booty
and deaf to the voice of humanity, have en-
again to trust our fortunes. We are pointed
to new men, and we are admonished that they
shall be able, faithful, qualified and pre-emi-
neDtly trustworthy. Not men of large preten-
sions and small merit, OF big professions and
little honor all things to all men, and worth

least this year, the democracy shall, with or
without conventions, in spite Of the politicians,
in defiance OF the selfish pretensions Of indivi.

man whose character and life shall make him

administration. We can afford to bear such a

page 43.) The wholesome regulation of the
carriers dressing in uniform has been intro
duced in other places besides London, and it
has been found not only to promote their
general comfort, but to prevent lettering and
neglect Of duty" His Lordship expresses a
strong wish, in which he says he "knows" he is
joined by her Msjesty's ministers, to have cheap
postage between the United Kingdom and every
foreign country. If such is really the desire
Of her Majesty's government, there certainly
will be no obstacle on the part of our Cabinet
and Senate. A very good plan has been adopt
ed for postage on papers and books between
France and England, which is for each nation
to fix their own rate on printed matter going
out, collect it all in advance, pay q certain
moderate sum per pound to the other nation
for the transit, and then have it delivered
without further charge to the persons ad
dressed.
Altogether the English Post Office Report
is document Of great interest," and shows the
continued triumph of cheap and uniform post
age. Did our people and our Congress show
half the interest in our postal concerns that
the press and few active reformers have ex-
hibited, we might have q new era inaugurated
at once in our own Post Office.

IDPORTANT OPINIONS AND DECISIONS IN THE
WHEELING BRIDGE CASE.

IDPORTANT OPINIONS AND DECISIONS IN THE
WHEELING BRIDGE CASE.
WASHINGTON, April q, 1866.
Justice Nelson to-day delivered The opinion Of the su-
preme Court in the case Of the State Of Pennsylvania
complainant, against the Wheeling and Belmont Bridge
Company and Others dssolving the injunction granted
blythe Circuit Judge-overrung the motion OF the COM
planant for wrs Of assistance and attachmeuts and
granting the motions for taxations of COSTS the pro-
cess therefor. Justice Nelson said the defendants had
taken the ground that the act Of Congress declaring tho
bridge legal structure and post route and requiring
steamboat chimneys not interfere with IT, superseded
the decree Of the Court in 1852 agAinst the defend
ants, while the plaintiff assumed that the act Of
Congress subsequently passed was unconsHtutional
and void The latter raised the principal objection In
the As this law decree could not be
enforced, the act regarded conflicting with the
clause Of the constitution which says "No preference
shall be given BY any regulation of commerce or revs
ports in State those of another a. has
been commended. So far the bridge created OBJ
sructon 1t must be considered modified and although
obstruction In fact, it not such in the conempla
ton of the law.
Justice Daniel could not sanction the, course of Cir
cult Judge Grer in ordering the issuing Of the attach
ment the ander Of the Judges of this Court havn
had nothing to do with it. In his opinion every point in
the case should be dismissed
justice MclAne said that feven members Of this Court
one absent-had heretofore held that this bridge
nuisance BY the law Of Congress referred TO- preference
is given Wheeling Pitsburg and other places above
the bridge Had Congress required all steamboat Chin
neys to be cut down, preference would exist for
port over another. This principle deeply interest,"
ing to the commerce Of the West Onsthird of the
meroe OF the Union may thus be affected. Hundreds OF
similar structures might be thrown the Mssissipp

RAILROADS IN MExICo.-We publish in an
sident of Mexico, authorizing the construction
Of railway from Vera Cruz to Mexico. The
decree looks to the establishment Of compa-
ny in this country, and was apparently predi-
Gated on overtures already made. Mr.. I. Lo.
PEI Meequi, Mexican gentleman now resid-
ing at the Metropolitan Hotel, is authorized
to negotiate with parties desiring to interest
themselves in the enterprise. 1t is of course
impossible to foresee how such scheme will
turn out. A railroad from Vera Cruz to the
city Of Mexico would be the making of that,
the finest part of the Southern republic. No
thing less, indeed, than the paramount impor-
lance Of such work to the national future
would justify or even explain the astonishing
liberality with which the provisional President
offers to guarantee six per cent on the outlay
1t is only day or two since we took occasion
to allude to the impudent proposal Of the Bri-
tish contractors Of the Great Trunk railway
in Canada, who, having failed, now want the
province to guarantee them FIVE per cent on
any further outlay But there is this diffe-
renee between the case of Mexico and that of
Canada: A five per cent Canadian security
would be worth about eighty in the London
market; six per cent Mexican bond would
not be saleaDle at any where near that price.
If the Mexicans can get their railway built
on any terms, it will be cheap bargain;
and for our part we should be glad to hear of
Senior Mesqui's success.

No HOPE FOR CRAMPToN.-The steady old
National Iatelligencr at Washington, which would
hardly venture to declare that the sun had
risen till officially informed of the fact, says,
substantially, in lifting the curtain" that it

ings and purposes of the executive" Champion
will be immediately dismissed in case he is not
recalled and that the final answer of the
British government will not be waited for much
longer, neither. Very well. So dispose of
Champion, one way or another, close the farce
and drop the curtain. The thing has become

letter from Mr.. William II. Prior, complaining
that q letter addressed to him, and mailed in
this city on the I'd inst, did not reach him till
Saturday, 10th. Mr.. Prior must be stranger
here. Had he been long resident of New
York, he would have got over the old delusion
that the postal service was organized for the
purpose Of carrying and delivering letters.
He would have known that the Post Office
exists for the purpose of providing berths for
meritorious politicians Of the Barnacle spe-
cies and that if, besides fulfilling its aim in
his respect, it occasionally carries and de-
ivers letter or two, it deserves the thanks of
q grateful community. Mr.. Prior will know
better another time.

MEXICAN DIPLoMACY.-We published yester-
day an extract from new work, said to have
been published at Madrid by Don Duenaventu-
re Vivo, late chum and friend of Santa Anna,
and Mexican Minister to Madrid This smart
senior had some idea of enregimenting the Ed-
ropesn Powers in grand battalion for the
purpose Of putting down the United States,
and securing to Cuba forever the blessings of
misrule, military despotism, poverty and the
slave trade. He did not succeed in his philan-
thropic design SO well as he expected. When
he called on tie Spanish Minister, and began
to open up his grand scheme, the willy Spaniard
would not appreciate" him, and would only
talk of chemistry, physics and literature"
However, at bottom there appears to have
been willingness on the part of Spain to join
with Mexico against the United States; and no
doubt if either Of the pair b ad had any money,
or any men, or any pluck, or any stamina OF
any kind, we should have heard more of it
AS it is, the work of Senior Yivo, who is well
named for the business, will be, in all proba-
bility, the resurrectionist of these dead schemes
and buried hopes.
