Further ?lisappointiiicnt is in store for our
City Fiitlieis. The bill which txN-nds Con?

enre of saeceae by passing to a third reading.
Tax-payers will not sharo the Aldeniiiinie grlaf.
?
British loyalty is strained to the utmost both
by the abseuo?' of the Qui-en and the scheme
for mating her an Empicss. It appears para?
doxical that tho Crown shouhl be most assailed
at the very time it? difrnity is increased. The
right to grumble is, however, the piiviloge of
a British subject. _
Senate debates on postage indicate a willing
neas that newspajiers should be eomjielled to
pay higher rather than lower rates. Then- is
a great ?h-al of sympathy felt in that boily for
Mr. Ilamlin ; and he needs it; for the press
that he cares nothing about persista iu stick?
ing pins into him. _
It is probable that Prince Napoleon will be
returned for the Corsican district where M.
Rouher's election was declared invalid. In that
event the Bonapartist factions will both be
represented by able orators in the Chamber of
Deputies, M. Uouhcr having had tho good for?
tune to be elected in two districts.
By capturing New-Laredo the Mexifian revo?
lutionists have strengthened their position oo
the Rio Grande and acquired greater control
arar the State of Tamaulipas. Adopting the
?strategy of Gen. Taylor in 1846, they will
probably soon attack Monterey, where, unless
the garrison is disaffected, a stubborn resistance
may be expected.
The appointments of the Methodist Confer?
ences as usual prove the most interesting por?
tion of their proceirdinga. The session nearly
ended was n??t marked by any notable inno?
vations, two or three proposals looking toward
extending the t. mi of ministers to more than
three years not linding favor.
Hear ye ! All who have any new scandal to
communicate respecting Mr. Beeeher ; you are
requested to stop forth and communicate, or
lie forever silent. The Congregational Min
i?t?is' Committee announce that they will stand
with open ears. Please do not keep them
waiting ! _
The jingle of silver is not far off. The
House certainly deserves credit for the prompt?
ness with which it ami its Committee on Ap?
propriations have acted upon the Silver Cur?
rency bill coming from the?Senate. The opera?
tion of this mcasuro will probably be in good
time for the Centennial, and our foreign visit?
ors will tin?! that our citizens?at least as to
small chiin?-?'?follow the citstoms of civiliza?
tion, and pay their way in honest coin.
Perhaps there is nothing personal in it, but
the Senate has followed the toad of the House
in contracting Gen. Bahi-nck's powers and
inahing Ul title of Coiumis?ioiier of Public
Building! and (?rounds merely nominal. He
will no longer bra allow???! lo control Um fitnils
of the other, which count by millions. Not,
however, that Cong-ess has any doubts; for
Gen. BaboOO- has himself as.iireil us that hfl
is an honorable man, notwithstanding the bui
glar conspiracy.
Mr. Delano C. Calvin, who has just been
chosen Surrogate, was the candid itc whom
at the las' electiOB Tin: TsiBUMI thought best
tilted for tlu* plaefl and BTgad ils nailers to
vote for. We need, therefore? say no
ni).re now than to t!i- nk tho Hoard of
Aldenaea for the promptneai with which
they hive done t!ie proper thing. We believe
that Mr. Calvin will make an excellent o!h<'?T. I
ami at any rate vc know that his nbiiity is
uiiipiestioneil, and that, up to this time, his
record has b.-cu pure.
The gentleman whom Mr, Cohnn calls "one
" Small', y " sontflfl to Cobttrii's rescue with a
letter Which Mr. ('??burn had no light to ex?
pect from that quarter. How lar it may ex?

It would have bien much better f??r the He

There is prospect of our nereantito interests
being unsettled, as usual during tbfl session of
('?ingress, by a debat?' o\?r ihr Tarjll'. Whether
anything will cone ol Mr. Monisou's bill except
Speeches and amendnicuts ami the co:i?< queiil

The abanrd rumor is therein exploded? which
has attributed to the Governor's Hipporten the
intention to imitate ai I'tici the Syracuse mis
takfl of smiling a pledged ?h-h-gation. In that
respect, at feast, they arc likely to learn wisdom
from their en? no's folly.
No one enn rise from the pi in sal of Mr.
Charlea O'Conoi's remarkable aildress to the
H.ir Association, ?lsewh? re priutt ?1 tliis morn?
ing, without a profound ?on?? ioiisiiMl that
one of our pure.?t and most emineiit citiz? ns
has been brutally tiu<lu?c?l, without pio?.o
ciition and without excuse. The only mistake
Mr. (?'Conor makes in the matter is in ?lignif1 ing
the attach by making to it s?> comliisivc and
?rushing a reply. ?Character counts for some?
thing, and he had'a right to assume that, with?
out his uttering one word, New-York
would decide betw?en him ami his as?
sailants, by hustling them out of court.
The time chosen for making tlies?> charges was
even more disgraceful than anything else about
them. Mr. 0'Conor has but recently recovered
from a ?protracted illness, in which for weeks
his life was despair? ?1 of, uml the whole city
waited for his last breath. Returning from
the jaws of death, he made his first appearance
in behalf of a public charity, and his next in
the court-room in aid of the prosecution against
our municipal thieves. That pros?Milion he
has vigorously conducted lor years, bringing
to the rescue of New-York from the lung
that had ruled her the best resources
of the foremost of our lawyers, and
?I?;voting all these to the service of the
city absolutely without tee or hope of reward.
If such a man, at such a time, can be met by
so wanton and baseless a charge, what limit
shall anywhere be set t0 reckless defamation ?
OF IRTRSTIQATIONB.
There is a very large class of citizens and
TOton in this country who are watching the
progress of the many investigations at Wash?
ington with great and anxious interest, but
with almost perfect freedom from partisanship
and prejudice. They do not so much darin
that a party should be besmirched ?ls that the
Government should be purified. They want
purification rather than ?hange. They are not
so hot and unreasonable in tln-ir anger at
what has been dune in the way of maladmin?
istration and misgovernment as to jump ?it
once to the conclusion that there is no remedy !
but in turning out all who are in, aad bringing
hi thoso who are out. If, to use a very
old figure, they know the discomfoits of the
frying-]),m, they bave a dim suspicion, at
least, of the dangers and the torments of tho
fire. We suspect that tho Democratic party in
Congress, which is undertaking to regain pub?
lic confidence by showing how unworthy the
opposition is of being trusted, and to estab?
lish itself in the offices by proving that the
Republicans have been corrupt in administer?
ing them, entirely misapprehends the temper of
this class. These voters ure not to be wo
mere demonstrations of Republican incap
or proofs of Republican betrayals of trust
matter how clear and convincing
may l>e. Lying buck of all the
posures wbich ou the tongue of to

is his own fault; that he has bien the archi?

his own oveilhrow. The business of timan
who holds u position in the Custom-home is
to do as the Custom-house does, to say as it

comic literature, "Artenos the Delicious,"
anil now Mr. Ibichanan hails Whitman in
terms tilting to no one less than Homer ami
Moses combined. It was the search for a new
fiara which detomined the character of Mor?

therefore withhold ?i certain degree of sympa?
thy from Ifr. Huchanan, who, after half a ?lo/? n
ditferent aii?l ??pially "hnpetatc attempts, has
not yet been successful.
Our American taste in literature may possi
sibly be immature, but it is still healthy. We
enjoy the realism of ?Imbl's " Margaret," iu
spite of its fantastic style; we read with satis?
faction the earliest, ami still the lx-st, of our
Marie writ? is, Li,'nt. Derby (".lohn I'lneiiix"),
whom tho Knglish do not seem to know at
all; we rccognue the genius of llret Hatte
without waiting for th? ir indorsement. Tho
raptures they bestow upon .Mark Twain have
not damaged the pur?? ideal of Humor
which Lowell has given us. Whatever
is ?li?tinctively American in our literature,
provided it bo truly, vigorously, and pie
turesipiely embodieil, is more weh'omo to us
than it tan possibly bo to any others who use
the ?same tongue. Hut, precisely in regard to
such works, we claim the critical right of
knowleilgo ovit ignorauc?. We applaud tho
effort of tnty earnest mind to express itself,
without affectation, in thoso simple and
stately forms which can never pall while
health and wholesome faro remain the
best needs of mail. And, by the
same principle, we refuse to encourage
the skill which seeks to exalt itself by dis?
torting the simple truth of Nature. Heretofore
we have responded rather too readily to the
taste and critical judgment of England, be?
cause ber voice seemed to us, if not that of
posterity, at least that of an intelligent and
impartial cotemjsirary. There is now a point
of divergence, the causes of which we have
presented in outline; they might be -fa?tented
much more widely. A few of our writers
may still acknowledge the old authority, and
endeavor to share in its present morbid ?rav
iag for new and strong sensations; but by far
the greater part will cling with independent
faith to their own convictions. It is a case
when they may justly claim, not equality, but
superiority of intelligence; and their revoca?
tion of an English verdict carries with it the
power to make their own accepted, now and
henceforlh. _
PBINCBB OF COMMERCE.
Tho review of Mr. Alexander T. Stewart's
history as B merchant, brought vividly before
the public by his death, suggests more tiian
one larger characteristic of tho profession
which he developed during his career. In
looking back to those splendid periods of com
nier? i.il enterprise, the histories whereof seem
to bo written in gild, d letters, in the vain
effort to discover another man who, after
being able to count the years of his business
lile by the millions of his winnings, died as
the richest merchant in the world, we are
struck with curious points of NMMOlance no
ICM than of unlikenes.4. There maybe genius,
no less than the powers of knowledge and
will, even in material pursuits : there
?? ?-?-Mainly the same ?litIV_euM of vision, of
administra*?re capacity, and of large, all-? m
brneing foresight, which distinguishes tho
statesman from the, petty politician, or tho
c!;is-ic author from the penny-a-lincr. The
spirit which we cannot dissociate from a
certain vulgarity when it tramps from house
to bot?- as a country peibllcr, rises into
almo-t epic dignity when it plants its centers
of operation in Europe and BtretehM ?is hands
to throw the sliutili's of Cashim re and Cathay.
In the fair and heroic form of .Jason we have
the mythical presentation of the first trader ;
but the more comprehensive "system of com?
i?, ic.? which the, Elm nie?ans originated, and
the Carthaginians continued with such meeeea,
has left us scanty records of individual enter?
prise. Neglected by the haughty citizens of
Borne, and Interrupted by the wan of the Em?
pire, c.iinicice very slowly grew into its place.
M Ml .Iciiie?t in the political economy of na?
tions. For centuries its spheres of operation
wen I .n limited and uncertain ; and the an?
nal- of p< noun! daring, ?nti-lligence, and suc?
cess date from the rise of the RepubUM of
Ventee, Qenoa, and Ploronee? Then, first,
merchants learned to plant the Bret sources of
their power in far-off regions, and MC?IB that \
power by the eontrol of brooder markets at
home. Mm this was, in all ? as? s, ?\ work of
time: one !if<- never aciu?veil the highest dis?
tinction. The work vis tranamitted from
father tO son, slowly enlarging its bounds, and
constantly checked by the difficulty and danger
if communieation with distant lands. The
lawleeancM of a Tartar tribe in Centn! Asia,
I saml-siorm on the Syrian 1>. sert, or the
breaking out ol plague in the porteof the Levant,
might sweep away the fruits of many years of
watchful toil. The M?.lici traded for a hun?
dred yeai ? bcfoic they wtie haughty enough
to place the pills symbolizing their name upon
mi aristocratic eaeutcheon. A century and a
ball intervened between poor Fugger the
?reaver, and his deaoendant, Count Anton
ru:r_Ti, win? kindled a ii;?' ol cinnamon wood
in tli?? chamber ??f tin Emperor CharlM V.
mid binned therein the evidences of the great
loan by ?hieb he bad enabled that monarch
to ii.i?l.il ike his expedition against Algiers.
In all (he eminent commei.ial families of the
Middle Ages then grew up a traditional husi
aoaj policy, which, impreeaed upon the subordi
nates implo? ?d. both ?it home and abroad, bore
si-iue r? s? m?dame to the organization of a
State. The head "I the linn, in the BO?TM of
thne or '??nr gineiations, aci|iiiring high, r cul?
ture and prouder instincts, diiecte.l his .'iitcr
priai - rerj much m the manner <>f ?t r.-L: ng
prineei and profeeeionel as well m penonal
unbition led him t.? seek positions of social or
political influence. The tntudtion from a eon?
ineicial tO a politieal field Of aclivity, as in
the case of Cosmo de' Me lici, was thus u natu?
ral one. The r<cent politieal history of En
irlainl abounds with instances of u similar
transfer of a?lininistrativo talents developed in
trade M manufactures.
Mr. Btewart- career, while r sembling that
nf hin famous predeceaaon in its main out?
lines, has been made possible by the general
prognM of the world. The lapid growth of
nil civilised races, extension of intercourse,
swiftness and security <>t ?'oinniuniciitioii, and
?in unexampled increase in the BM of the
fabrica in which be dealt, were all new ad?
vantages which he employed with equal intel?
ligence. No doubt he was familiar with the
history of the great Italian and Gorman mer- i
?liants; ?111,1 it wiis no ignoble ambition to
tpply the broad principles of their system
i?f business to the conditions of our day.
An instinct of wisdom, as well as of
Batan) integrity, prompted the establishment
of a confidence such as they al-o assiduously
kept alive; and dually, to complete the simil?
itude, the only other strong aspiration which
he ever betrayed was for an important posi?
tion in tho (?overninent. The offer which lie
made in Hit? hop?? of obtaining it reminds us
of Anton Eugger's haughty prodigality. Thus,
in the course of his life as in his busi?
ness, he represents at least three genera?
tions of a medieval commercial house,?
?uni this is a fair illustration of the
more rapid movement of all forms of huinuu
development in our time. But, to offset what?
ever danger muy lio in the possibility of auch
vast personal success, wo now have the total
nbolition of guilds and privileges everywhere,
L'ominuiiications free to all, and the multipli
i\ui??u of products which no single mercan?
tile power will ever be able again to monopo?
lize. The field is still open to every young
man papable of seeing a distant yet attainable
Ideal beckoning through the weariness and
drudgery oi tho early years of a business life.
