Letter from New York.
New York, Aug. 90. 1850.

New York, Aug. 20, 1850.
The city is more full Of strangers
than ever many from the South, from
Europe and the West Indies, are max
ing summer visit, and notwithstand-
ing the heat, seem quite content as
they saunter in Broadway, ride to the
Park, smoke III balconies and under
awnings, eat ices in the evening, and
in light dresses, make themselves at
home i'll metropolis whose regular
inhabitants have migrated to cooler
latitudcs. Within few days many
business men have arrived but the
wholesale dealers have imported less
than last year in anticipation Of a
moderate trade As far as this con-
lecture was founded on a lack of cash
at the West, and the comparative
stagnation Of the market, it was cor
rect but, in as far as it was based
upon the expectation Of absorbing po-
litical excitement here, facts do not
Justify the surmisc. While politicians
are taking the stump at the South,
and many large meetings, according
to the journals, are being held in the
iutcrior,-New York was never so
quiescent on the eve Of Presidential
election as now.
Various reasons are assigned for
this passivity-the most obvious OF
which is the unprecedented complica-
tion and division of parties, and the
want Of personal enthusiasm inspired
by the candidates. Most people are
satisfied to read the Political" col
umn in the daily papers, to discuss
the chances Of success of this, that
and the other organization, and to
speculate and bet on the result in No,
vcmbcr.

In other words, Sin cried " fusion,
and the cry was listened to, and the
arms Of the combatants against cacl
other were dropped, and the key Of
fusion opened the gates for the
passage out for the battle for the pos
session of the world. And SO hay,
the opposing factions Uf Democracy
levclling their deadly aim at the heads
OF each other, trowniHG at each Other
like two black clouds. and only wait

encounter, paused a moment at the
cry of fusion" But have they SC
listened to it as in the end to join
hands, and thus by fusion" obtain
the key of the gates of their place oI
anarchy, which is to let them out il
full blast for the suhiuGation of the
political world, which they desire
the States of New York, Pcnnsylva
MIA, and New Jersey? Let us see.
Beginning with Pennsylvania, the
result of the fusion cry has been that
the Democratic State Convention
voted down the fusion project, and
unanimously recommended the call
ing Of another Convention to nomi
nate a straight-out Douglas and John
son ticket. Afterwards the State
Committee undertook to patch up q
fusion, but the Douglas men swor,
they would not stand it and called &
Convention to nominate pure Doug
las electoral ticket. The Breckenridge
Democracy therefore must fight tn,
Douglas to the death at the gates o
the Pennsylvania prison house of an

" important State of New Jersey.
Democracy lrouId like 10 hare all these

one is the question. No sane Demo
crat, of any Democratic faction, be-
lievcs that Breckenridge disunion De-
mocracy alone, or Douglas composite
slavery and antislavery Democracy
alone, can get either New York, New
Jersey or Pennsylvania. How, then,
can Douglas Democracy and Brcckin-
ridge Democracy, which hate each
other with perfect hatred, so cheat
each other into a scmblance of friend
ship as to secure together what each

fighting each other and proceed to

Fusion, has been the answer! Fusion

factions of the Democracy at the bar

abode of anarchy, which shut them

Having again opened this well known Ho-
tel, the proprietor takes this means to inform
the Travelling public and the rest of mankind,
that he intends to make ii worthy the pat
ronage OF travellers, and if attention to the
wants of guests, good fare and low prices are
any inducements, he hopes to have his share
of business.
In connection with the Hotel is the largest
Barn in town, which is under the charge Of an
experienced Ostler, and tcamstcrs can depend
upon having their teams we'll cared for This
house being the Stage Office, Railroad Ticket
Office, American Express and General Freight
Office, presents more advantages than any
other can show in the city, and all Iask of
my friends, is to try me once, and if not salts
fed, will not ask them to come again.

Mr.. E7erett's' Statesmanship.

If the reader of political history desire.
any evidence Of the practical craftsmanship
and trsnscendant ability of Mr.. Everett, ht
may find it in his ce LIBERATED letter on the
proposed Triparlite Treaty which was urged
upon this Government on the part of England
by Lord Malmesoury. OH the Tart of France

Spain became fearful about her peaceful pos

by the French and British Minister'S Che

separate, but similar letters. to the Govern
uent of the United States. each dared on the
23d OF April, 1852. April 29,h. Mr.. Webster

answer could DC given, Mr.. Webster died :;
and he was succeeded by Mr.. Everett, as
Secretary Of State.
Taking up this great subject, and duly
estimating It's importance, Mr.. Everett dis.
posed of it, in letter dated December LIST,
1852. The publication of the letter leaves
no occasion to pass culogy upon it. Upon
Its appearance 1t was received with general if
not universal admiration and approval. The
Democratic Review hailed it AS the best paper
that ever appeared from the Safe Depart.
ment. And Senator Douglas declared that

beef put up for Winter use. is spoiled by the
Use of too much salt, which DESTROYS the
flavor, and makes the meat siringy and tough.
When beef is fresh it contains considerable
blood, which is drawn out by the brine
If the meat is left in this mixture, it will re-
quired much larger quantity of salt to pre-
serve it, particularly through warm weather
My plan is To make brlne by using for one
