ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF THE POST-MASTER GENERAL. We regret to state that a most painful occurrence took place yesterday on board the steam boat Georgia, of the Baltimore and Norfolk Line. It appears that the boat on her passage to Baltimore took on board at Old Point Comfort several passengers, among them the Hon. Mr.

WICKLIFFE,

Post-mas

ter General, his two daughters and several other persons and a young man named

LEAN GARDNER,

J. MC

K. GARDNER,

of Washington city, formerly First Auditor of the Post Office Department. During his stay at Old Point the conduct of Mr. Gardner was remarked by the visiters asof a very singular character, and the belief was generally entertained that he was laboring under mental derangement—a belief which was strongly concurred in by Mr. WICKLIFFE himself, with whom he had server* al times been in conversation. About half past one o*olock yesterday, when the passengers were summoned to dinner, Mr. Wickliffe, who was standing on deck, offered his arm to the ladies who were with him, and while in the act of so doing, Gardner, without sny previous intimation, suddenly sprung at Mr. Wickliffe, and aimed a powerful blow with a clnsp knife at his breast. The blade pf the knife struck the right breast bone with much force, and traversed the bone without, it is believed, injuring the lungs, or making a deep incision. Lieut.

BRADPOKD,

of the U.

S. Navy, standing close by, instantly seized Gardner in the act of making a second blow at Mr. Wickliffe, and prevented his design. The knife was immediately taken possession by Lieut.

and Gardner placed in confine

ment. Remedies were immediately applied to Mr. Wickliffe*s wound, and on his arrival nt this city, he was attended by Professor SMITH, who, we are happy to learn, en tortains the opinion that the wound is not dangerous.

Immediately on the arrival of the boat, Gardner was committed to jail.-—•JBaftitwwns PafrW,

The Preeidential campaign can hardly be aaid to be opened, yet both parties are making preliminary arrangement to that end. The political feeling of the people ia. however, at rest, and the electiona for eome time have abown that the country is eqjoylna a com parative freedom from political excitement. Theeleotion in New Orleana scarcely attracted to tho polla a third of the voters and we apprehend tl»t the returns 6f the elections aoon to be held in several the West am States, will evidence a similar indifference to present political contests. Fiom this we-may, perhspa, except Tennessee, in which State both parlies seem, if we may judge from the newspapers, to be actively engaged for the straggle in August, and we nnd a higher tone of confidence on each side, than in any 01 the other States. But out of Tennessee, we do not see any political excitement or any thing like a determin-

*In^th?arespect the state of the coaatry is something lik it waa in 1839. The spring and aammer and fall electiAna of that year, save oirty the great State of New York, were advene to the Whig** and whwvthe -HerriMborgn Convertttbn met in December, the Whig party seemed to be utterly prostrated every where.— We know the result. The Harrisburgh nomination was made. The masses began to move. And in less than ten months, the Loco Focos, but shortly so boastfat of their atrength, were routed at every potnt. In one respect, the present situation of affairs ia different from that of 1639-- Then the Whi«s were divided upon their enndidate. Evejn in the Natioual Convention the nomination was onlV settled after several ballotings, and among the people there were warm, devoted and crithotiai'.ic frienda of each candidate, a lid the disappointed of these had to be reconciled. The Loco Focos on the contrary, were united upon one man.— They held a National Convention, to be aura, but this was merely to formally place Mr. Vail1 Buren in the field. Whatever of weaknea ia derived from division, the Whigs Suffered and whatever of strength waa gathered' Irom union, the Loco Focoa had ft. Now the ret* i§ changed. The Whigs are nnited upon their candidal*. There is bat one name, in the whole broad Union, that unites the Whigs. In no State, in no •ounty or town of any State, could be gotton together a meeting of Whigs, in which TIENST CLAY would not be the favorite—the only candidate of that meeting— for President. He unites all hearts, sad is the hope of all.

But it is not so with the Loco Focos. The seedsol division have been sown in their ranks, and are now b6arins frttlL The men who called ibeniaeWea the alliea of the Whigs in 1836,and left us in 1837, btcause as' their chiefs expressed it, a victory ef the Whiga would not make to their advaitlage, have united their foroes with the Loco Focos, sad claim the high plsws in the party. The "ancient hatred" which iwr. Calhoun and Mr. Van Buren, agreed to another in 1337 haa extended to their followers. The Calhoumtea have laid down -certain.articles to be obeeiwd in making the nomination by the Loeo Fooo National Convention and after a show of opposition, the Van Burenites have thought beat to concede the point as to the time of holding the meeting of that body. The man ner of appointing delegates to the Convention atill remains open, and will be an apple of discord whan the Convention meeta. Ia the interval between this sad the meeting of the Convention in May aext, tbe efforts of the Calhounites and Van Barenites Will ho great,— unceaaitrg and violent, on the aide of the former, and inaidtone bat not lesa effective oa the part of the latter. Mr. Van Buren knows that he can afford to Mr. Calhoun much. He can allow him to antnae himself with the fancy of being nominated, and to indulge

Jin anticipation, ia all the airs of a anesassful candidate. Certain as Mr. Van Bsren woT tbe nonanation, he regards with comparative indiflerence^IH that^s attempted or deeignod br the frieoda of hie rival.

Whatever, then, may be the result ol electiona tnia year, wa regard asof no importance, as iodiea what will be the remit in 1644. The Whigs are oa their caMHdate^md aa then ia no pwanect tf bettering their condition politically whilst Mr. Tyler remains President, they are eontent—nnariaety, we think—but still, they are content to remain indifferent to the electiona now. The Loco Focoa, on ihecontrary, being divided into two parts, have that excitement in thar own tanks which brings oat their whole atrength at the polls, each party hoping, by an exhibition ef greater nambem, to carvy, from that atanee, greater iafloence Into the National tion.

At the great firs in New York in December, 1835, a numbdr of houses were blown up in order 10 stay the progress ^»f the flamee, and in doing this a large amount of personal property was destroyed. The houses were blown istiiy order of the Mayor and two of the Alder* men ef the city. A case was tried at a recent term of the Supreme Court, which was one of aaventy-five others, to recover from the corporation the value of a quantity of merchandize, amouming to several hundred thousand dollars, which waa destroyed in the houses that were, blown up aa above atated. In the former cases of assessment of damages against the ci ty, under the statute giving compensation to the owners or the buildings destroyed, it had been held by the Court of Errors, that compcnaation in that form waa confined to an indemnity to the owner oi the buildings destroyed tor thw value thereof: and .of personal property therein at the time or the destruction, belonging to him or eft which he had mad* advances, to the extent of such a^ranceaonly but thai ranedy did net 4 to pallida a lie liaii larpe'-stmar property, but had no anch interest the building. The present aetion as Well sa the others referred to, Was brought in the ordinary form at common law, to recover the value of goods owned by parties having no intereat in the buildings destroyed upon the plea, that by the conatitution, private property cannot be taken for pnbtie purpow, without just compensation, and that the property in question, the Corporation was liable therefor.

Upon a full argument, the Superior Court gavejadg* ment in favor of the corporation, from which the plain* tiflls appealed to the Supreme Court. The Snnrente Court, afrer taking time to consider the case, affirmed the judgment to the Superior Court.

It ia understood that (he plaiittifla intend te entry the case to die Court of Errors, where if this decision is sffirm^d, the city will escspe the payment of apwards of million of dollars.

DEMOCRATIC HARMONY. The unity and enneord now .existing among the "democracy" are exactly proportionate to the degree of identity which murka their principles. We have made repeated atMVipta to discover what were the principles of the "democr»ev,n but have been able to and nothing except the Snh-Treasury, in which all sections of the party agree. Thia appears to be the only sonties thing recognised among them. There ia indeed a community of feeling in respect to many negative tendencies a propensity deetroy. to change, to experiment, without any fixed purpose or nltimate object, common enough. Thus the perty is bent on overthrowing the

RUNNING OUT OF DIBT.

Hunt's Merchants' Magasirte says Ithat the imports into New York alone, for the year 1848, fell off |8S,* 000,000. To this happy circumstance ia owing, nnder the existing tariff, that wa are so ftst getting oat ef debt, and attaining slowly to something like oar original prosperity. There is a claea of persons who think it a calamity, though everything now fschesp*ev* that

er than ner before, and though wa have •nemgh of everything, and more than we have money to buy, the importe from abroad have fallen off ao, although ih«y must be eware that thia is the only way under heaven to pay off oar $800,000,000 or debts, and wipe out the etigma ot repudiation brought on by theee same excessive imports. Notwithstanding ihis diminution of importa there is enough* and a superabundance of every thing, at rates for lower than were ever before heard of. We cannot understand this free trade lamen* tion that importa have fallen off ao»~. Weho»s nothing tor show now for tlie two hundred millions of imports which we.owe foreigmnefor, except eome railroad iron. It waa with theee wiaeacrea a greet ain that foreigners should invset money in the United States Bank, but it ia of no importance that we ehould owe ihem money we eennot nay knd still contract more debts.—Stat.

some curious old customs at Abbeville a man condemned to be hudg, might be eared if woman jjffered, of her own accord, to marry him.

A Maaauet CxaTtricATs.—An Irieh soldier once waited upon his commanding officer with what he termed a venr eerioua complaint. "Another man,'* he aaid "upbraided him that he was not married to hia own wile, whom he aaid waa no better than eheahould be, and called her many namea besides, which He would he eahamed to mention to hie hono.r* "Well,' my good fellow," answered the officer, "have you any proof that you are legally married)" "Faith, your honor, I have the best proof ia the world.'* Here the soldier took off hia bat, exhibited a out ahull, aay ing, "Does your honor think I'd be after taking toe same abuse irom anybody hat my wife?'*

Nor BAD.—May is considered an unfortunate marrying month. coaatry editor says that a girl was asked not long since to unite herself in the silken tie to jt brisk chap, who named May in his proposals. The lady tenderly hinted that May was an unlucky month for marrying. "Well, make it /una, then," honestly replied the aaraia, anxious to accommodate.
