The CAPITAL IN POSSESSION or THE CoNsrrTy-
TIoNArIsrs.-W When the news Of the capture Of
Degollado, BeriOzabal, Traconis and Land0,
at Toluca, reached this city, we stated that the
fact gave us some hope of the liberal cause.
The news just received by the British war
steamer Gladiator, and which appears in
another column fully bears out these surmises.
No sooner is the evil influence of the captured
leaders removed than success crowns the
arms OF the constitutionalists. On the 2zd uk.
Miramon was encountered and completely
routed by them, and, after returning alone
to Mexico, fed on the oath. On the fol-
lowing day the liberals occupied the capital,
when President Juarez was Immediately sent
for, and was to leave Vera Cruz on the Sd inst.
to exercise there the powers of the general
government
Whether Miramon will make a fresh effort to
maintain himself in the field remains to be
seen. His conduct for some time past would
indicate that he was preparing to abandon the
country deinitively. 1t has been alleged that
he has transmitted to the West Indies and the
United States large sums of money, in view of
the disaster which has now overtaken him.
He will probably soon retire to Paris, spend
ing lavishly, like SO many Of his predecessors.
the money which he has acquired at the ex-
pense of the blood and ssfferings of his coun-
trymen.
The restoration Of the capital to the consti-
tutionalists will be severe blow to the French
and Spanish diplomatists, who have labored so
hard to sustain the church party. They recOg-
nized the government of Miramon to
promote certain selfish objects of their
own, and to counteract by it the legiti-
mate influence Of the United States The
result has justified the policy which
Mr.. Buchanan's administration has pursued
in regard to Mexico, and it is to be hoped
that the Senate will no longer postpone the
ratification of the treaty concluded by Mr..
McLane. Should Great Britain perscvere in
her intention of extorting by force an
indemnity for the sums plundered from her
bOndholders, we shall be in better position to
act as mediators, and to afford support to the
Juarez government, in the event of seizure
of territory being contemplated, if our own
relations towards it are satisfactorily defined.
We wish that we could see in the present
triumph of the liberal cause in Mexico an as
surance Of the permanent restoration OF peace
and order in that distracted country. Unhap-
PLY, the experience of the past and the fokls
nature of the Mexican character do not war
rant us in INDUCING in any such hope. We
fear that Mexico is destined to pass through
another long series of revolutions before her
affairs can be administered by men whose per-
sonal honesty and capacity will inspire conf
dence at home and abroad

and dignifed manner. Let State Conventions
in the North and the South approximate the
wishes of the different sections; and, espe-
cially, let Southern Convention propose such
amendments to the constitution as the exisyen-
oies Of the time demand. The horrors of civil
war, the destruction of commerce, trade and
manufactures, the impoverishment of the agri-
cultural districts, and general depreciation ia
the value of property, may be averted, and the
confederation be restored to its pristine glory
and prosperity. There is no time to be lost in
abandoning the system of terrorism which IN
wise individuals have lately initiated. and in
readopting those measures of peace through
which alone the heresies that have infected the
republic can be swept away

The News Observation-Disclosures OF Sec.
rotary Thompson.

The news from the South yesterday is OF the
most important and exciting character. 1t
announces the fact that the Star Of the West
has actually gone to Fort Sumter with re-
Inducements for Major Anderson; that intelli-
gence of her departure from New York, and
Of her destination, had reached Charleston;
that the authorities there had telegraphed to
Mr.. Secretary Thompson to ascertain the truth
OF the report; that Mr.. Thompson had called
upon the President to make the inquiry, and
that, on being informed Of its accuracy, be i'm
mediately resigned his position as Secretary Of
the Interior, at the same time advising the
officials Of Charleston of the result of his in
quiries. These facts constitute the most i'm
portant and critical phase Of the crisis thus far
although other advices received yesterday
from Virginia and Georgia, and other parts of
the South, indicate that the republic is on the
very brink OF destruction
The resignation OF Mr.. Thompson is the
fourth that has taken place in the Cabinet with
in the last FIVE weeks. Each time the resigning
member gave as reason for his withdrawal
that he was dissatisfied with the course pursued
by the President while the fact was that he
attempted to dictate to Mr.. Buchanan, and to
use his position in the government for the pur-
pose OF aiding and abetting the schemes of the
politicians of the South. Now, however, that
Secretary Thompson is gone, we believe there
is only one left who has no business 10 be in
the Cabinet, and il would be much better for
the country If he would retire to-day. But out
Of this movement Of Secretary Thompson, as
well as that of General Scott--for il appears
that the latter is now an active and efficient
member Of the administration-out of both
these movements we may within twenty-four
hours have civil war precpitated upon the
country. If Col. Thomas who has gone in CON-
mand Of the troops in the Star OF the West-of
which Capt MCGOWAN is master-should not
succeed in landing the achievements for Major
Anderson by a coup de main, and if he should
not have arrived of the port at night, which is
not unlikely, and succeeded in putting his troops
and supplies by ships launches in Fort Sumter
from the outside Of the port, we may expect
to hear some time to-day Of an attempt being
made by the authorities Of Charleston to sink

Should such be the result the whole of the
cotton States will be thrown into such an ex-
element that the next advces may announce
the secession Of nearly all, as the Conventions
of Florida, Alabama and Mississippi are now
graphic dispatches that there Is no time TO be
lost by the people of the whole country in hav-

time for the conservative republicans, for Sens-

HoS0Rs TO OLD HIcKoRY's NAMES Yesterday
was celebrated as the anniversary Of the de-
cisive battle Of New Orleans-decisive not only
because the British invaders were driven back,
but because il brought before the American
people man who was not only great mill
tary chieftain, but q practical common sense
statesman-o whose indomitable will crushed
out humbug monopolies and ground rotten
banks to powder; one who originated and exc
cuted reforms of the most important character
in the teeth of the most vigorous opposition
which the annals Of political history recount.
Such man was Andrew Jackson, the Hero of
New Orleans, the slayer Of the Bank Monster,
the President who left to US legacy, the rally
ing cry Of all true patriots-"The Union must
and shall be preserved"
II is good to know that the people have not
forgotten this man and his teachings, and that
in the midst Of terrible crisis in the affairs of
the country the friends of the Union should
again rally to honor his memory and to express
anew their adhesion to his principles.
As will be noticed by our news columns, the
day was very generally observed throughout
the North. In this city the braves Of Tammany
assembled in large numbers and had grand fes-
tival. Attic St. Nicholas Hotel large number of
our most prominent citizens of all parties par
ticipated in ball given in honor Of the day. In
as many as fifty interior cities and towns salutcs
were fred; and il is curious to note the fact that
in Massachusetts,, where Jackson's party was in
his day q mere corporal's guard, the people
seem to be the most enthusiastic about
him. Thirty years ago, to be Jackson man in
Boston was to be made the target OF the most
savage personal attacks and the same feeling
p,edominated all over New England. The
present Governor, Andrew, comes from the old
anti-Jackson stock, and is rabid republican;
but he directs salutes to be fired in honor of
man whom he would have opposed tooth and
nail while alive. We might follow out this
parallel as far ~ the home Of Senator Seward,
and b. ing IL perhaps very near to this city; but
the mere mention Of such a wonderful change
in public opinion will suffice. Now that our
republican friends have burned their Jackson
powder, let VS. see if they can give US some Of
Jackson's principles The old hero would
never have approved Of the Modification Of the
Fugitive Slave act, any more than Of the action

Thus II will be seen that the circulation of
this journal is unprecedented, and without
parallel throughout the entire world The only
other large metropolitan journal which APP
proaches US in circulation-the London
Times-falls short OF the New YoRK HERALD
some twenty -ive thousand daily, and in point
of readers is still farther below the mark, in
consequence Of the system adopted in England
of hiring out the paper at so much per hour; and
we may here say that the daily circulation of
the HERALD exceeds the combined circulation
of all the other city papers, exclusive of
our Post Office competitor. Assuming that
every copy of the HERALD is read by five
persons-which is fair calculation-,oe
speok to four hundred thousand people, per-
hops zoe might say half million, every morn
ing throughout the entire year, with the excep-
ton of two days-the I'd of January and the
9Th Of July-when no paper is issued. This i'm
mense mass of people cannot be reached at the
same time by any other human means, and
hence the vast influence which the HERALD ex-
ercises upon the public mind upon all affairs of
interest or importance.
The progress Of this journal has now reached
point beyond which it is difficult to 60 with
the machinery at our command; and even now
we find it hard enough to supply the demand
upon our presses. Very often we are COM
PEELED to leave out important news in
order to enable US to get to press in proper
season in the morning. In this inventive age,
however, we do not despair Of seeing some
appliances to the machinery Of the printing
Office whereby greater rapidity may be ac-
auired and time better economical.
