1'ieass be particular in taking the address: oSiti lm' ipM ANDERSON, ill) Bowery. was available, and because it was believed that the slave interest would bo safer in his hands than in the hands of any other man likely to be elected. Ho was nominated by the south for tho security and presorvatioa of southern interests. In the Philadel phia convention the whole of tho delegates from tho slave holding states, with the exception of five or six, went for him solid, while a large majority of the northern deien ales went against him. But although nominated by the planters to make the interests the south secure, his nomination has, in all proba bility, produced exactly the opposite effect.

The nomiuatiou. of a thorough pro slavery man by tho K'higs was the excuse for tho free soil organ ization at the uorth. The free aoilers brought out the question of slavery prominently in tho canvass and the wbigs, in order to do away the ruinous ef fect which the pro slavery nomination of Taylor was producing at tho north, were obliged to take ground in favor of free soil, and nominated men who would out Herod Herod on this subject, and take the wind quite out of the sails of tho free Boilers. This stratagen succeeded. The free soil whigs generally came into the support of Taylor and, in the general sweep, a host of the Taylor free soilers of the north have been returned to the new congress There has been no cougi ess, since tho foundation of tho government, so decidedly anti slavery as that which comes in on the wings of the Taylor excitement.

All the old champions of abolition have been returned by overwhelming majorities, and nearly every new member from New York, Massachusetts, Vermont, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, Sec, is the decided and open opponent of any extension of slavery into the now territories. The south sowed to the wind and they have reaped the whirlwind. We do not believe that any compromise line can be adopted under Taylor's administration and think that the bound is fixed beyond which slavery canuot pass. An attempt will be made to adopt the compromise by the present cougress at its next session, but it will fail. The democrats will probably be quite willing to let the question go over to the new administration.

Trie south has repudiated the plan of Gen. Cass for leaving the question of slavery to tho people of the territories, and have preferred Gen. Taylor with au abolition congress at his heels, and we suspect that they will be allowed the full benefit of their preference. We see that strong measures haye been taken by some of the southern slates, in view of the storm which they Have brought on themselves, but the question is now fairly opeued and the men who are elected to congress will not suffer it to sleep. To all appearance the movement of tho south to si.iveiy will be its death.

York. The full vote in 26 counties gives Taylor 125,000, Cass 70,148, Van Buren 52,436. The vote will turn ciut to be consideriLblv smaller than in 1844. lu that year Clay, had 232,482, Polk 237,558, Biruey 15,612. Tola! 485,882.

This year tiie total vote will not differ much from 450,000. In 19 counties, about oue third of the state, from which the Argus has official returns there is a reduction in the aggregate vote since 1844 of 13,350. Ueu. Taylor's vote is 3759 less than Mr. Clay's vole in these counties.

The vote for Gen. Cass and Mr. Van Bareu is 4826 less than Mr. Polk's. Iu these 19 counties Gen.

Taylor's vote exceeds the joint vole of Cass and Van Buren 1620. But this proportion probably will not hold in the re maiuing couutice The Argus thinks that the vole fur ii. excr ous that for Cass. The election of Waldeu, the democratic nominee in the 21st district, is confirmed. His majority in Schoharie county is 380.

He falls sliehtly below his whig competitor, Mr. Smith, in Otsego; but his majority in the district is about 300.

Boston, Nov. 16.

Brings, the Whig candidate for Governor, fails of an election by the people, 500 votes or more. tod States has been more fortunate in the choice of a cabinet than Mr. Polk. AU the members are men of ability and, with the exception of the Post Master General, all are men of tact aud eminently fitted for the difficult and responsible places which they have been called to fill. No secretary of the nayy, iu our day, has been so successful as Mr, Mason in securing the respect of the intelligent offi cers of the navy, and Mr.

Marcy has beou scarcely less successful with the officers of tho army, wliilo his groat ability has been displayed in the conduct of the Mexican war, and in a series of official papers as brilliant as ever emanated from a public officer. But the heads of tho treasury and the state departments have particularly distinguished theru boIvcs, and perhaps done even more than the other mombers, in securing to themselves the universal plaudits of the people of this country. Mr. Walker stands preeminently above all his predecessors in the industry and ability which he has brought to tho administration of tho finances, aud Mr. Buchanan has fully maintained the high character gainod in his distinguished senatorial career, showing himself to be a far seeing and discreet statesman whose well poised mind eminently fits him to manage the foreign affairs ofourgreat republic.

Wc have been led to these remarks by the eulo gium in the Herald of yesterday on these two last named statesmen which wc desire to place on record. Of their labors and the results that paper speaks as follows The Secretary of State and the Secretary of the Treasury have actually sustained the whole burthen of the government ou iheir shoulders, aud have exhibited the most consummate statesmanship, energy and skill in the conduct of their respective departments. For wisdom, manliness, and dio nitv. the official papers which have issued from chanau's pon have never been excelled by those of any of his predecessors while, for ornate diction. aud terseness, and vigor of style, we doubt if tiiey have been equalled.

the report ol the Secretarv of the 1 rflHRnrv. nf last December, as well as bis various olher fiscal papers, and his mauasement of his dnnrtmnt. have elevated that department to an eminence to which it never before attained. Hn has nmHnH these results by his energy, aud perseverance, aud by physical and mental exertions almost incred iDle. He has been known, lor weeks at a tioin.

never to leave the department, even to see his family, aud to have remained several successive nights without sleep the activity of his mind actualiv preventing repose. G. W. Stilwell, in his card "to the public," tells us that his spirit is nut broken by his late losses and that he intends to press on go ahead, in spite of lortune, looking back only to take counsel of past experiences and not to mourn over irrecoverable losses. This is true philosophy a philosophy which is practical aud which will always lead to recuperation.

He has, in accordance with his design to go ahead, taken a shop at 76 Poplar street where he is hammering away as usual, and where his old custo mers may dud him. Such a man ouglit not to be deserted aud will not be. The Washington correspondent uf the N. York Journal of Comerce says it is understood that Thad dtus Stevens, member elect from Pennsylvania, is pledged to introduce a bill on tha first day of the morning of ti: thirty first Cougress, to abolish slavery iu the U.L. Columbia.

And ifthe Whig Congress does not pass it, and their President don't sign it, they will stamp themselves a set of kuavcB who got power ou false pretences. The Cass and Butler Club of the 7tli Ward hold a meuting this evening at Sharp's, which will probably be their last before adjourning sine die. We believe that this club is about square ith the world, and will, at their adjournment, make a clean breast of it. We commend their example, aud trust that it may be extensively imitated. Le there be a full meeting to night.

Cass for defeating the Quintuple treaty, Lord Brougham made this prediction lords, the course of the Aniorican minister ou tins subject, the auti democratic teudency of the measure, which he alone has defeated, will at no very distant day, make him President of the mted states." Beach's Sun contaiuu a paragraph stating that negotiations are on foot fur the union of the two sections of the democratic parly and that the (ilobe is to be the organ. We suppose that ti is is a matter hatched up io help the Globe.

The New York editors are quarrelling among themselves as to who first nominated Gen. Taylor.

I loft Brooklyn ou Wednesday morning iu company with Dr. tho well known and efficient advocate of teo totalism in the accommodation train of tho Long Island railroad for Riverhead. will not attempt to describe tho movement of the locomotive and tho rattling of the care presuming that there is a great degree of similarity on all such occasions and being aware of tho fact that our friend of the Advertiser haB, on Bundry pic uic excursions and various other trips, succeeded ia describing the whiff, whiff, whiff" and puff, puff, puff," and away we go of a railroad trip so well that I am fearful leBt any attempt on my part would look like imitation and bo altogether devoid of originality I must state, however, for the information nf those concerned, that the mysterious looking baskets" aud suspicious looking pags" which he of the Advertiser always notes so particularly, were not present. Nothing worthy of remark took place before our arrival, excepting perhaps, the following colloquy between the Doctor and seller of tickets Dr. What's the fare to Riverhead Seller of Tickets.

One eighty five, sir Dr. Let mo have two tickets. S.of T. Have you any children, sir? Dr. Yes sir S.

of T. How many? Dr. Seven, sir. S. of T.

How old are they Dr. All the way from four to twenty four. S. of T. (Looking aehast aud retain inc his hold on the tickets) are you going to take them all with you? Dr.

Oh no sir, not any of them. Two or three gentlemen who bad beeu liRtonincr to the conversation, now burst into a broad lauoh, and the Doctor left tbe seller of tickets much chop. fallen. I noticed in passing over that, not verv fertile tract of country called Hempstead Plains," that Messrs. Humdrum and Co.

had not succeeded in inducing farmers to settle there in preference to going out. west. On our arrival at Riverhead. we were rprnivpH hv Rev. Mr.

Kuowles, pastor of tho Conpreoational church at that place, whose hospitality we experienced during our brief elay. The kindness and attention of this worthy divine, his unceasing efforts to render our visit pleasant and conducive to our comlort, we shall ever hold in most grateful remembrance. Riveihead, situated at the head of Peconic Bay, is a very pleasant village of between six and seven hundred inhahitauts. and must be a de lightful place of sojourn during the summer mouths. i ne'e is an excellent temperance hotel, kept by Mr.

Griffin, and we assure all friends of ih ansB and others who may favor him with a call" that they cannot but be satisfied with the order and neatness which prevail throughout the house. i he Congregational church, where the meeting was held, was filled at an early hour the Sons" occupying U.o f. Tho exercises com menced by prayer, from the chaplain of the division, winch was lollowed by the singing of a temperance ode by a choir, composed of some eight or ten very pretty and well dressed vouutr ladies. The recording scribe then read a repoit of the condition of the division, state of finances, Sec, from which wo were happy to learn that its affairs are in a very flourishing condition. The address by the Dr.

was one of his happiest efforts, aud was listened to throughout by marked attention. The exercises closed by the singing of another ode by the choir and benediction bv the chaplain. I should like to tell you, Mr. Editor, of the long, charming walk we took this inoruiur. of the hoar frost which covered every object with a mantle of white elisteuinc iuthe briehtravsof the mornin? sun, Stc, but fear I have already trespassed too far on the space ol your valuable paper.

Three loud reports, supposed to have been causeed by the bnrstiug of a flue, were heard about half past 6 o'clock, and almost instantaneously the building was enveloped in flames and soon destroyed, with its entire contents. They consisted of a Uru quantiy of machinery, 200 barrels of camphene, alciiohol and whisky, together with all hookK and papers, and about $100 in cash The property to James Englf, of Bush wick, L. aud was purtiaily insured. It was valued at 10,000. The lire burned very fiercely for several hours, and rolled up a column of smoko and flame that could bu vsci a great distance.

Wright's iHdian Vegetable are a safe, easy, and certain cure for colds and coughs, because they carry ml" by the stomach and bowels those morbi i humors which. 11 deposited upon Ihe lunirs, are the cause of ihe above dangerous complaints. A single twenty live cent box of Wright's Indian Vegetable rills is generally suiticient to mate a perlect cure of the most obstinate cold; and at the same time the digestion is improved, and tbe liiood completely purified.
