An AFRICAN DuTcHMAN.-An amusing sight was
presented on the levee yesterday. number of
immigrants from the Faderland had just landed,
and their trunks and traps were strewn about the
wharf, the owners resting their limbs and chatter
ing their views of the prospect Among the num-
Der was brawny African, about thirty years Of
age, with the full and unaduterated Ethiopian cast
OF features. He was dressed in the little green
cap, (tassel and all,) short-waisted, long-tailed
coat. breeches with the oldtime apron flaps, and
heavy shoes, which go to form the makeup of the
Teutonic emigrant He was sitting on one end Of
a large square chest smoking pipe, and on the
other rested a girl, thirteen or fourteen years of
age, with whom he was jabberng in the most au-
thentic German dialect. A good many people
We're greatly amused at the sight of this African
Dutchman, who, we suppose, had got over to Ger

grew up to take part in the customs of the country

A RUSSIAN View OF THE ACQUISITION OF
CAUSE.-THE Russian organ, published at
Brussels, in speaking of the Presidents han
kering after Cuba, snys: "The war which
might result from il would be far more dis
astrous than that Crimean war which has
cost so much gold and blood to the world
ltwoud be war with a nation whose pro-
duets are the first element Of industry in all
parts Of the world, andwhose commercial in.
Iercourse makes an important branch of in.
come for most governments. II would be a
violent rupture Of all the arteries of CONNER
cial circulation; it would be fatal separation
between Europe, which needs America, and
America, which can dispense with Europe
Take from England the gold of California
and the cotton of Louisiana, and her indus
try will at once be stopped IN its prosperous
action. We sincerely hope tina. such terrible
occurrence will not take place."

OPPOSITION STATE CONVENTION
a0fh Of March.

After full consultation With many Of our
friends in various parts Of the State. it has
been deemed most expedient to fix the e9M
of March nert as the most eligible time for
holding q Convention Of the Opposition to
Democracy IN this State In compliance,
therefore. with this sentiment, we hereby an.
nounce that day as the appointed time for
the assembling Of that body; and take this
occasion to urge upon our friends in every
county in the State to call primary meetings
on the first Monday Of February or March,
to appoint delegates to said Convention. Let
there be full representation.

The Two CoBBs The proposition that
the dirtiuguishru Io.SsN Cobb, Secretary of
the Treasury, and Sylvnnus Cobb, Komnncer
of the New York Ledger, should exchange
places, has been SO extensively circulated by
the newspaper press, that an approximation
to the sentiment of the country in regard to
i. may now be reached; and, after n careful
survey of the premises, we are satisfied that
so lar as regards the idea of putting Howell
out Of the Treasury Department md Syvanus
in it, is concerned, it would command the en-
thusiastic approval of the country, for it is
generally conceded that any change would be
for the better. But unfortunately, on the
other hand, it seen,s that Mr.. Bonner and the
million renders of the Ledger nre decidedly
hostile TO the proposition, because they dis
trust Howell's capacity to entertnin them rs
ngreeably rs their present favorite, md on
this account it is to be feared the arrangement
will not be effected Philadelphia Press.

H We don't wish to deny any one the
pleasure of reading our paper, but there is
one class of pntrons--they are not very nu-
merous at present--that we shall have to get
rid Of. We mean those who never pay. For
aught we know they may be good and intend
to pay at some indefinite time-but il they
can reconcile it to their conscirnces to read n
paper on such terms, We can not reconcile it
10 our sense Of duty to ourself and to our
paving patrons to furnish it on such terms.
So, If no more numbers of the Post should
reach them they will attribute it to the right
cause, and not to remissness or neglect Of
route agents and pnstmnsters.

Gentlemen.-On VIII issues, then, can We
go before the country nndcfoniidently caieu
late upon the suppnrt OF the American pco-
pie ut the approaching Presidential election I?
l answer unhesilatngly that we must fall
back, as you suggest, upon those fundamen-
tai and time .honored principles which have
divided us from our political opponents since
the beginning, and which, from the very ma.
tnre Of the Federal Constitution, must con-
tinue TO divide MS from them TO the end. We
must inscribe upon our banners, sound re-
gard Tor the reserved rights OF the States,
strict construction of the Constitution, de-
NAL to Congress OF all powers not clearly
granted by that instrument and right econ.
omy in public expenditures.
These expenditures have now reached the
enormous sum OF fifty millions OF dollars per
nnnum, and, unless arrested in their advance
by strong arm OF the democracy of the
country, may, in the course of few years,
reach one hundred millions. The nppropria-
tion of money to accomplish great national
objects sanctioned by the Constitution, ought
to be on scale commensurate with our pow
er and resources as naii"n; but its cxpendi
lure ought to be conducted under the guild
ance of enlightened economy and strict re-
sponsibility. nm convinced that our ex-
penses ought to be considerably reduced be-
low the present standard, not only without
hetrimeni, but with positive advantage both
to the Government and the people.
An excessive and lavish expenditure of
public nancy, though initself highly pefni-
