which Win be Best {!

Reader, of whatever political faith you
are, which will be the best! That the
country shall remain whole and united as
it is, the South being the receptacle and
market for the manufactures and workshops
of the North-furnishing the raw material
and affording labor 10 the toiling millions OF
the North, and buying the goods again in
return, thus causing general prosperity all
around, or that ii be disrupted, and the in
tercourse of the two sections OF the country
severed, the South opening her own ports
and receiving her supplies of manufactured
articles from foreign countries, and leaving
the workshops and manufactures of the
North desoIate and without market
Which viii be The best! This is matter
for every voter 10 consider. As the country
now exists, the South is the market for the
manufactures and workshops OF the North.
Northern cotton mills get their cotton from
The South, thousands of hands are employed
in them, and receive their pay for their
work, and then the cotton goods are again
sold 10 the South. Other manufactures sell
their articles of manufacture South. The
little town Of Lynn, in Massachusetts, alone
sells several millions of pairs of shoes an
nualiy South. The iron works and rolling
mills of the North find their best markets
South. The cities Of New York and Phila
delphia, and other uothern cities, depeno
almost entirely upon their commerce witt
:he Southern States, and their teemins mil
lions thus have prosperity Which ther
win be the besil Will you elect Lincoln
the candidate of the 'sirrepressibie'' Re
publican party who will no. receive
SINGLE electoral vote in any southern State
and whose election incurs the risk of dis
turbing the harmony of the several State
as they now exist, or will you say il is hes

all in your power TO his defeat. Il is 70
you, consulting your own interests and 'h'
interests of the country TO say, which viii

Democrats. TO the Polls /!

Every Democrat in Columbia county, as
well as in our sister counties, should go TO
the polls on next Tuesday and cast his vote
for the Reading Electoral Ticket. II is his
duty, and we would earnestly insist in his
performing it. Let nothing interfere with
yonr attending the polls early and late; and
see that every voter is brought out. The
absence of vote or two in each township
throughout the county would make quite a
material difference; so much of difference
in all probability tha: it might form the re-
suit of our comfy disastrous TO the Demo
cratic party. But no such thing is conceded.
The Democrats of each township, ward or
borough will, in our humble opinion, go at
the work ir good earnest on next Tuesday
and show their Republican friends that the
time is not near when s'Republicanism'
and anegro equality shall reign predomi-
nant over these United States.

setting towards the metropolis, and nothing

TIE NEw STEAMERS OF THE GALWAY LINE
We learn that the first of tie four new steamers
Of the Galway line which has been launched
the Connaught--was not quite ready for sea on
the appointed day-June &C. and that the Pa
rama, one of the Brazilian mail line, and a very
swift vessel, was to be despatched in her place
Our readers are aware that the Galway Compa.
ny have contracted with the British government
to carry the mails from Galway to St. Johns in
six days on their new steamers, the contract to
commence on the 26th Of June. We presume
some arrangement has been come 10 with the
Postal Department whereby the company will
not be held liable in consequence of the failure
TO start the Connaught on her regular day. The
Parana is not yet announced at ST. Johns, and
II she left at her right time she should have
reached there before yesterday in order to come
within the six days agreement The company,
however, have purchased the Pacific TO follow
the Parana on the 10th inst, and az this fine
ship has frequently made the passage from st.
Johns TO Galway within six days, there need
not be much doubt abou, her performing the
contract strictly.
1t IL announced that the Connaught will be
the third boat, and by the time she Is ready TO
sail the other three new boats-the Leinster,
Munster and Ulster-will be launched and put
upon the line al once.

THE LAW AND THE CorRrs.-The princinal
courts are about to close for the summer vaca.
ton, and such Of the judges and lawyers as are
fortunate enough to be able to make the
arrangement will soon be scsmpering of with
the herds Of tourists, bent on obtaining change
of scene and air. Many of the judiciary must
remain, however, to transact chamber business,
and Of the lawyers two classes will not leave,
viz; those who are too poor 10 travel, and those
the patient, mercenary and tricky individuals
who, with the assiduity Of kingashers, perch
themselves over the stream of litigation in
which prey may be obtained, and then gorge
themselves with the skill and voracity of cor
morants. II Is lucky for all of the profession
that they can escape from the pestiferous dens
which are called court rooms, where the rnasms
of the atmosphere Is not inferior to the odor Of
many transactions there investigated. II Is per-
fectly obvious that not alone must the ply
steal atmosphere Of our courts be ameliorated,
but the moral also. The election of Judges
by the people for short terms has neither
improved the quality Of judges in the orr
ginal selection. nor their usefulness when chosen
They cannot be insensibIe to the popular inHu-
ences all the while surrounding them, and the
careful observance Of which Is sometimes the
condition on which their continuance in Office
depends.
The code. which in many OF is prominent
regulations has proved valuable, is in numerous
details an acknowledged failure. II has not
simpli6ed pleading, nor diminished the amount
or influence Of sharp technical,ics. Unfortu-
nately IL Is an imperfect system Of procedure,
which requires for its operation frequent refer
cncc to and use OF the old forms, especially in
cases Of equity jurisprudence, where the two
systems are constantly colliding with or made
dependent on each other. Nor Is the expedition
Of judicial proceedings by any means increased.
The claws delay still asserts its habituaI
power, and II is wonderful how few cases
are brought 20 final determination until
after the lapse Of ten times the period that
would be required under more enlightened
and effective administration. The right OF ap-
peals is altogether too general, and experience
shows that 1t must be limited. or tho court or
last resort in this State will never see the end
OF its calendar. Add TO this that of late years
the fashion has prevailed in Albany OF passing
special laws 10 meet particular litigslions.

ANOTHER PRNcELY vIsrTEI.-We learn that
the Prince Of Wales will make his intended
visit to America in the course of this month,
leaving England on the 18th for Halifax, where
he will re-embark for Quebec, and after seeing
Canada and his future Canadian subjects, will
perhaps visit the United States. The Mayor of
Halifax has invited number of Mayors along
the seaboard to meet the royal guest, and we
understand Mayor Wood has invited the
young Prince to New York, through Mr..
Dallas, our Minister at the Court of st. James,
who delivered the invitation to the British Mi
mister for Foreign Affairs, but as yet has re-
ceived no answer. Whether his Royal High
ness will come to New York is not yet certain

Opening OF Summer Travel-Ncw York
the Great Watering Place.

We published day or two ago list of ar
rivals at the Ocean House, Newport, which
seems to be the only watering place that is
fairly under way as yet We give to-day few
more letters, including one from Sachems' Head
Connecticut, which place, it appears, is to be
the headquarters Of Senator Douglas during the
summer solstice and therefore point Of par
ticular interest to New York politicians.
We hear on all sides the fairest promises from
the landlords of the fashionable watering place
hotels; but we are not disposed to put much
faith in them. The fact about the matter IL, that
the whole system is wrong and until il Is swept
away there cannot be anything like radical re-
form. The number Of invalids who resort to
the sea shore or the springs is very small, COM
pared to that Of the mere pleasure seeker
When there is crush at Saratoga or Newport
Il Is made up almost altogether OF people who
60 either because Il is considered the correct
thing 10 do, or to sec who Is there or to display
fine clothes and splendid equipages. OF late
years there has not been so much Of this
folly. Our wealthy citizens have built
for themselves villas in the vicinity of the
city, and have gathered about them coterics
wherein elegant social enjoyment may be had,
and where vulgar display and ignorant preten-
tiousness are ignored. Thus the watering
places proper are obliged 10 depend on the
West and South for support-chieay upon the
South-thc custom Of which section is growing
''small by degrees and beautifully less" with
each succeeding year The political con dition
of the country may have had some influence in
bringing about this contamination, but the ex-
tortions of the hotel keepers MT the more import
ant watering places must be accepted as the
main cause. They were too greedy and in
starving their customers have overreached
themselves.
The metropolis during the present summer
will have Of itself certain distinct sensations
which will be found especially attractive to
pleasure travellers. Chiefest among these we
account the monster ship, the Great Eastern,
which now lies in the heart of the busy metro
polls, receiving the visits Of thousands As one
Of the greatest wonders OF the world. she will
bring crowds ofpeople from all parts Of the coun-
try. Then We have our magnificent Park, with
its pleasant walks and superb drives; our SPLEEN
did Bay, dotted with verdurc-crowncd islands.
and the noble Hudson--thc Rhine Of America.
These, with the thea,rcs, picture galleries, libra
ries, and the ever changing, always interesting,
tide Of humanity which flows daily through our
great avenue. make up series Of attractions
which cannot be matched by any other place
in the world, save London and Paris. Late in
the season we shall have visit from the Prince
Of Wales; so there will be no occasion for tour

INCREASED VALUE or REAL ESTATE IN THE
Crr--we perceive, by the return Of the Tax
Commissioners, that the value of real estate in
the city, as assessed for taxation, has increased
this year over last to the amount of nearly
twenty millions Of dollars. The total value Of
the real estate in the metropolis is now $685..
533,6Io, and the total value Of real and person
al property together is s577, 23o6js showing
an increase upon the valuation Of 1859 Of twcn-
ty-five millions and a quarter. At this rate Of
increase the value Of property in the city in ten
years from now will not be far from a thousand
millions OF dollars.
The assessments Of real estate in the lower
wards bear out what we have repeatedly no.
ticed in these columns, that property was RAJ
pidly declining down town. The decrease in
the value Of property since last year in the
First and Second wards alone, from the Park to
the Battery, amounts to over threc-quarters of
a million, while property in every other ward,
except the Scventh-running from Catharine TO
Grand street, and from East Broadway to the
East river-shows more than proportionate In
crease, amounting 10 over twenty millions in ALL

and that of the Celestial Empire, together with
an autograph letter from the Em.veror to the
President of the United States, as announced
in our special despatch from Washing zion yes
terday
Thus almost at the same moment have been
consummated our negotiations with the s~o
most ancient and most powerful countries IN
Asia, fattering commentary upon the couI We
of policy pursued by our government towards
these nations. While England and France
and the former country more especially
been striving by force Of arms to establish .
trade with China, we have succeeded by pru-
dence, fair play, and the exercise of pacific
diplomacy, in securing the opportunity to OK
tend our trade there-an opportunity which,
we doubt not, we shall improve to the ultimate
profit of our own country and of China. And
so, also, with japan, towards which England
has pursued more polite course than that
which she adopted towards her neighbor on the
Asiatic continent. Through the good offices of
the American Minister, Mr.. Harris, and by
virtue of our good name with the Japanese,
England has been enabled to secure certain
commercial advantages with that country con-
jointly-though she has not been honored with
an Embassy yet-with ourselves, benefit
which Queen Victoria has not failed to ac-
knowledge by presenting a splendid gold box
to Mr.. Harris.
1t is a matter of some congratulaton for us
to reflect upon, that while England and France
are fitting out hostile armies against the Chi
nese, our administration is receiving assurance
of the most peaceful and friendly relations with
that people, and the ratification of highly ad-
vantageous treaty from the hands of the En-
peror of China.
