WASHINGTON CITY:
TUESDAY July "a, 1860
Spin, of the Morning Press.


The Constitution paws fitting tribute to the
memory of the late venerable Joseph Gales
The same paper correcs the false construction
placed by portion Of the opposition upon the
late ratification speech of the President wherein
he says that every democrat is at perfect liberty to
vote as he thinks proper, without running counter
TO any regular nomination of the party The Con-
SITUATION says
GO The friends Of Mr. Douglas, and their allies
the friends of MI. LincOln pretend that the Pres
1dent intended to convey by the foregoing that,
az there was no regular nomination by the demo-
cratic party, every democrat is at perfect liberty
TO vote as he thinks proper-that is, for Douglas,
Lincoln, or Bell. more disingenuOus fallaciOus,
and we will say, absurd Interpretation than this
was never uttered IL is clear to every honest
mind after reading the Presidents remarks, that
what he meant was, that, according to the old
Osages of the democratic party, neither SIR. Doug
las nor Mr. Brec kinridge had been regularly nom
mated, that democrats who night vote for either
candidate would not violate that rule of party
discipline which enJOins obedience to regular
nominations; and that such being the case, il was
their duty TO vote for the candidates who hold in
their opinion, the true faith of the party Most
emPhatically did the President declare that in
his opinion, Breckinridge and Lane Were the
only Candidates who held and would maintain
that falth, and that in the discharge Of his duty
he would give them bis earnest support"
The IH'sH'gsHcsr, with view to effectively
impress on the public mind some patriotic les
sons inculcated by the late Mr.. Gales, very ap-
ProPriately and OPPORTUNITY reProduces series
of articles indited by him in 1851, while as yet
his eye was not dim nor mis- natural force abated
The articles alluded to entitled, respectively
- The Past and the Future" - The Authority of
the Supreme Court and 80 The Natural LIZA
ments of the Union"
The Intelligence says Sc AS every person con-
nected with this establishment will be engaged
to-day in Paying the last Offices to the remains Of
their late venerated friend no paper will be issued

The LANDING OF EIGHT HUNDRED AND FIFTY
AFRICANS ON THE ISLAND or CUBA.-The New
Orleans Delta of the 10Th says. By the arrival Of
tue steamship Magnolia, Capt. Crowell, from
Havana, ria the Florida ports, we informed
reports that on the 18th inst, the day the steam
ship Magnolia left Key West, a fishing smack
brought into that port twelve or fifteen men,
taken of from Spanish schooner. These men
report that their own vessel was burned at Sea,
but by reports received at Key West, it was the
general impression that they were part of the
crew Of an American bark, supposed 10 be the
Sultana, of Ngw York, that had been engaged in
the slave trade, and had just landed her cargo,
consisting Of $50 Africans, at MatanEas, on the
Island of Cuba, and Immediately burned their
vessel to the waters edge and then effected their
escape. II was also reported at Key West that
the United States steamer Crusader had received
the information and had started on a cruise on
the 9th or 10th inst, to overhaul this identical
bark

A MIsTAEB.-A Washington correspondent of
the New York Herald makes a mistake in his
account Of the very proper declenson of the Com
missioner of Public Buildings to permit the cree
ton Of party tags or poles in either Of the public
squares, streets, or reservations of the Federal
Metropolis. He states the Commission RS declen-
sion as though it embraced refusal to permit
them to be erected anywhere in this city. They
can Of course be erected here upon private prop
erty, as elsewhere with the consent OF the owners

venting all parties from using public property for
such purposes

PosT OFFICE distractions. 1t is said that the
Postmaster General is about to issue an important
circular to POstmasteis requiring, among other
things, that in all cases postage stamps and not
money shall be used in the prepayment Of post
ages, and prohibiting the of the rating stamps
In canceling postage stamps. A neglect to cancel
postage stamps effectually, to postmark letters
plainly, will be regarded cause for serious cen-
sure, II not removal, and all POstmasters are re-
CURED to report every instance of such neglect to

How THE LAND LAys.-By this time there must
be few indeed who watch the signs political, who
fail to comprehend that the contest for the Pres-
dency has narrowed down to a choice between
Breck inridge and Lincoln, If an election is to be
made either by the people or the House Of Repre-
sentatives-Lincoln receiving, as he doubtless
Will, the mass Of the electoral votes Of the nom
slaveholding States; and, Breckenridge, in all
probability all the electoral votes of all the slave
holding States. So those who vote for electors
favorable to any other candidates will simply
throw their votes away. The effort to generate a
Douglas party at the South has everywhere fallen
still born to the ground Notwithstanding the
" blowing" Of the Douglas newspapers over It,
In Virginia, for instance, the Douglas party proves
to be composed Of two or three disappointed and
over-ambtious small leaders in a county with
hardly more than single follower to each From
all the signs ii is fair to estimate that Douglas
electoral ticket in the Old Domin MON will not poll
more than an average Of ten votes to a county
Not that there are not more than that numbe of
persons in the State who under ordinary circum-
stances would prefer Doulas to Breck inridre But
not more than that number Of Virginia Democrats
VIII prove bent on doing their best to give the
States vote to Bell and Everett, and thus help 10
throw the State affairs into the hands of the Cd
position. The belief is Row increasing every
where that Douglas, in persisting In running,
without being able to calculate with any reason
able degree Of certainty upon receiving a single
electoral vote, is simply aiming to strengthen his
Pretensons to the Republican party nomination
IN 1854 upon the plea that in continuing ia the
present contest ne is materially aiding the
of Lincolns election.

The mails of the schooner Suffolk, Captain

stitutional course; also, that Charles Miramon
brother of the President, commanding the fifth

The CONFESSION OF HARDBN.-rhe Newark
Daily, Of the 2lst inst, says This document has
been for sale in this city this afternoon. 1t 10
very unsatisfactory production, adding scarcely
anything to our knowledge of the criminal and
his career, beyond the facts developed on the
trial, and subsequently made public. The only
new matter Is some correspondence between
Harden and his family, after his conviction. The
confession contains none Of those disgusting reve-
lations which were anticipated and is mere
record Of Harden's external life Concerning his
connection with Miss Dorland-his wife after
wards-the impression sought to be created Is
that the engagement and marriage were thrust
on him by his mOtheT-in-law. The pc soning Of
his wife is openly confessed, but occupies only a
little over page, and merely confirms what has
before been published. He administered arsenic
to her on an apple, saying il was a powder to
prevent pregnancy. Several times afterwards he
gave IL to her. Little is said concerning Har-
dens feeling. except that after the murder he was
haunted by,fear and remorse.
The Phillpsburg Standard relates that TO his
other crimes, Harden added that of forgery. He
endeavOred TO get checked at the Easton bank a
check for 81 600, with the name Of John l. Blair
President Of the Belvidere bank, forged upon it,
The bank officers, through caution, would not
cash the check, and Harden then presented il at
the Phillipsburg bank, where the forgery was
detected, but no measures were taken to arrest
Harden, who was unknown to the officers Of the
bank. The affair took place on the very day on
which Harden purchased the poison to kill his
wife. His identity with the person offering the
check would not have been discovered had he not
confessed IL to the sheriff
