THK NEXT PRESIDENT.

+. ri ~
VINO Is Is BE- our next PRESIDENT
The New York aHerald ''of August 18th /
suggests through It's leader the name Of
our Old friend General Sam Houston,
= lie most eligible for the high pO-
sition 81 Chief Magistrate Of the United
States.
The ..Herald, 4 not always fair, but
generally lucky, and always pretty
shrewd, has hit ii right this time. We
endorse the suggestion and welcome
the old Generals pennant with our
hearts Utah cannot, Of course, 90 to
the polls, but Utah can tell what she
thinks Of men and means and measures.
So far as parties and party names
are concerned we take no sides. We
want theman that has q Big heart and an
unAinching spirit. Such man IS Sam
Houston. To be sure one Of Us was
once an Irishman, and they say the Gem
eral is slightly tincturcd With Know
nothing principles. That We do not
approve Of. Yet we are not afraid but
that he will have q tender feeling in
his heart towards that one beautiful
green spot Of our own. AT any rate
we are willing, if We had the say so in
the matter, to risk him. Out, then,
goes our flag; General Sam Houston
for four years at least. We may not
be able 70 assist him with our personal
votes. But we have many i friend,
not alone in Texas, but abroad through
North md South, and we know they
win do Us the favor to vote for the man
Of our choice.
What glow the anticipation brings
to our hearts. a generation Of man
hood and Craftsmanship seems to BE- |
coming up before US. Old Hickory is
gone--J acksonis no moro in our midst.
But his spirit, his influence, his charac-
ter still lives and, we believe, lives inl
Sam Houston. A pupil Of jackson,
he win not disgrace the tutor under
whose instructions he received wounds
forty-six years ago, the scars Of which
still remind him Of by-gones. He,
whose glittering sabre carved out tho
liberty Of Texas, will never, We believe,
trample on thcrights Of freemen. Nor
was be moro q hero on the bloody, hard
fought field Of San Jacinto, than when,
in the Legislative halls Of our nation he
exposed and fought against Kansas
Nebraska trickery, and gave the heart
wound 70 the reyiying slaYe-trade.
He j. . fnancier, too; one Of the
nostimportant qualifications OF q ilse-
full statesman. After conducting his
darling Texas through her bloody
strife, and terminating in her favor q

unreasonable usurpation. lie descended

A Heavy Syvtndle.

A defalcation at the Union Bank, New
York, has just been made public. The Jour
nal Of Commerce furnishes the following
particulars: N
1t appears that Mr.. Edward Belknap,
broker, 50, Wall Sheet, had a loan of S1O,-
900 at the Union Bank, and $4,000 at the
American Exchange, based upon valuable
securities, belonging TO the. estate OF his
father, John Belknap, a wealthy gentleman
OF Boston, not long deceased. In Deceniber
last, he called on the late President of the
Union Bank and took up the $50, 600 loan
with his own check on that bank for the
same amount; he also procured his check
for $50, 900, t. be certified by Smith, the
teller of the Union Bank, with which he
took up the loan at the American Exchange
Bank, returning the whole batch of securi-
ties 10 Boston by two clock mail OF that
day. He Was not able 10 make either vi his
checks good, and his account, at ; clock,
was minus SlG8,O0f. For this lie has as
signed his interest in his fathers estate
The hank will probably lose about $780,
900, which will be less than seven per cent.
on its capital.
In some States such transaction would
carry the author to the peni:entlary. In
Louisiana, TO give check on bank, where
the drawer has no funds and does not make
it good at once, is felony, punishable by
Imprisonment in the penitentiary. It is a
fraud that should everywhere be made a
felony.

THE WAR.-ln the various speculatiOns
that are INDUCED in regard to the probable
effects of the war, sagacious business men
predict that it will produce a more radical
revolution in the financial than in the poliu-
cal systems of Europe. If it draws into lis
vortex-as now seems ineyitable-the lead
ing nations of the continent-the deprecia-
tion-if not destruction-of the government
securities of the countries involved in il,
which il will produce, will break up the
foundations of the wealth and credit of both
the aristocratic and commercial classes. 1t
will uproot one of the chief basis of the
financial and commercial operations OF Eu-
rope; and if the discredit should extend to
the English funds, it will unsettle the COM
mercial relations and change the values OF
property throughout the world. There is,
therefore, an incalculable interest every
where in the maintenance of a strict neu.
traiity by England. If she shall stand aloof
and avoid entangling alliances, aud devote
her energies TO the preservation and cult
vation of her national resourees--at the end
of the struggle when the belligerents shall
come out of the struggle exhausted and
acknowledgement and the United States
with strength and resources multiplied
will remain the commercial soyereignS OF
the world. But if the English government
yields to the procliyities of her aristocratic
class to sustain the old despotisms OF Eu-
rope, she viii not escape the European fnan-
cial reVulsion that the war will inevitably
entail; and which, through her, will spread
its destructive influences over rs, and break
up our systems of credit and destroy the
established values OF property. The question
Of English neutrality is one of vast impor-
tlnce to Us. If Britain becomes belliger-
ent, we Gay gain large temporary advan-
tage in securing a monopoly OF the carrying
trade; but the 4rOnts OF that, would be but
an inoonsiderable compensation "a the de.
preston of commerce ana the Dies tr uction o
credit in this country that would follow q
SHANGHAI tornado in England.

The Foreign News,

By telegraph this morning, is cheering to
those whose sympathies are enlisted for the
Allies continued success attends their arms,
and the Austrians are retiring as their val
liant armies advance. One exchange in
specializing upon the tactics of the French
Emperor, thinks he is waiting to perfect
some other part of his plans, before pressing
with much impetuousity upon the Austrians
in front. The French at this time, with the
command of The Adriatic, can at any time
land strong corps at or near Venice, and
then with the passes of the Alps, closed by
Garibaldi in the right flank of the Austrians,
they will be nearly closed on the plains, and
may be forced to combat at disadvantage
The hardness of Napoleon ILL., is proba-
bly, designed to retain the enemy where he
is, not only until time is gained TO make a
flank movement, but until threatened rev.
dictionary demonstration and movement in
Hungary. assumes definite shape and char
acter. Once in motion, a retreating army
can ever be taken at disadvantage and its
destruction is always possible by an active,
bold and energetic pursuer.

Ia At the trial of Capt. Townsend, Of
the slave brig Echo, the Court din ected the
jury to find the prisoner not guilty, mas
much as there was no evidence before the
jury to show that the Echo was owned, in
whole OF in part, by citizen of the United
States, which was material to be proved in
order to maintain the indictment, nor was
there any proof that the vessel was foreign
vessel. The jury brought in a verdict Of not
guilty.

PosT MAsTER GENERAL HOLT-The re-
moval of O.. G.. Westcott Postmaster of
Philadelphia, has produced an excitement
in that city and in political circles through
out the State. Mr.. Holt has thought proper
TO make public his reasons for the removal,
and has published in the Constellation let
ter, which is remarkable for its clearness
and force in which he sets forth the com
plants against Mr.. Westcott and the tIsti-
fcation Of his removal. Itappears that Post
master Westcott at the end of the second
susrter after his appointment by Mr.. Blu
chanan found deficiency in the cash &C
count of his Office to the amount Of 81 ,525,
which he believed had been stolen-by
whom or how, could not be discovered
There was no evidence 10 fix il upon one
clerk more than another. Being unwilling
TO bear the loss himself, he assessed it upon
all the clerks in the office, and deducted
each ones share from his salary he made
them submit TO the exsction, and sign re-
ceipts for their salaries in full, by threats of
dismissal. For this most unjust ana OPP
pressiye measure, he was most properly dis
missed and the disgrace OF the exposure
now made will be very jnst punishment
