"Without stopping to inquire who is right or who is wrong in the quarrel between the Sentinel and the Statesman, ve inuit say it is ill-timed, at least, and believe, with many others.that its eflect upon our party may yet prove disastrous. Each of the parties, no doubt, feel aggrieved at the conduct of the other, but is this a fitting time, now, almost on the eve of an election pregnant with results so vital to the success of our party, for men who have borne aloft our banner, "in sunshine and in storm," now, when the political enemy is almost at the door to prostrate their columns to bitter personal attacks on; each other, and jeopardize the Demo - cratic Cause, that their own private griefs may reach the ear of the people? j Both papers have their influence that influence; undivided, we trust, will at once be wielded for the advancement of Democracy alone..

Monthly Miscellany for April. This valuable Periodical is on our table. We are glad to notice among the able Contributors engaged to enrich the columns of the "Miscellany" that the literary claims of Western writers have not been overlooked. The Miscellany appears to be rapidly growing in public favor. Ten thousand copies are issued monthly. We are pleased to see that the sickly love tales and other trashy foolery, that we find in some Magazines, are discarded in the Miscellany. Subjects of great interests are ably discussed in the No. before us. Success to the Miscellany. It richly deserves it.

GEN. CASS' SPEECH. Delivered on Friday night, 14f A ult., at Tamany Hall, New York. After repeated calls upon him, he male his appearance on the rostrum, an l iu a joking "irunuer, commenced his remarks by saying that if those assembled had tieard as much as he had they would not be desirous of hearing any more. I did uot come here said lie, for the purpose of making a speech; I came from a place where there were more words than actions more addresses delivered than there were services rendered to the country: but I cannot help expressing my satifaction at finding myself within the time-honored walls of old Tammany, which has witnessed so many displays of American patriotism by the noble Democracy oi i'ew York, who' have so often rallied to the defence of their country, when ' that country .'was in. peril, Yes, my fellow citizens, for forty years I have known you; I have known you in the good old times of Daniel Tompkins," and the same spirit which animated him and his competitors during the war with England, animated you iu the crisis through which the country has recently passed: and a crisis as it iiever'passed through" before, I arn very much obliged to the Chairman for the Haltering manner in which he has spoken of my humble service in the National Legislature. Uiit 1 deserve no credit fur what I have done;. I claim no credit, none for Congress. It was not the American Congress that saved the country it never would have been saved by Congress. It was the voice of the people of North, South, East and We?t, borne on every breeze which saved It and before which disunion quailed. (Applause.) Touch the Union fellow citizens and you touch a coal of fire in the heart of every Democrat. (Applause.) It lives and will live for the good it has done and is doing, and under the providence of God, for the good w hich I trust it is destined to do. (Tremenduous applause.) Fellow citizens, wc have passed through. a terrible crisis. 1 may siy, we are passing through it; for, although the danger ia diminished, it is not over. It would ba wrong to say there are not sections of the country which entertain

designs unfavorable lo the Union; but 1 l rust such a calamity as is threatened will be averted I believe' it will be. But here we are the sun never shone on a country so happy as this where so little is taken from the bread of labor where the government is instituted by all for the good of all where there is no oppression where every man is as free as the. air which he breathes, and where there is liberty and prosperity oiTered to every man. (Applause.) Compare this country with those of the old world. Look at the oppression which prevails there. See the down trodden condition of humanity there. Now, what puts us in this happy condition? North and South united to achieve and to maintain our independence, which is the boast of the world; and the blood of both sections was shed in maintaining the flag of the Union. (Applause.) Now, what has lad to the unfortunate state of feeling which at present prevails? Why is it that so many of our countrymen are threatening to leave the confederacy? There must be a cause for this. It is useitss to conceal that the South has been injured. I say it boidly and without hesitation. (Applause.) We have vilified them and their institutions we have not acted towards them as we ought to have acted we have not carried out towards them the constitution i'i its true spirit. We allow foreign travelling emissaries and domestic traitors .to preach doctrines, which, if they prevail, are sure to destroy this government as surely as the sun rises in the east and goes down in jhe west. And these foreign missionaries have found advocates in this country. Now, reverse the case, and you will find, that if one of our citizens went to England and dilated publicly there on the wrongs of down trodden Ireland, he would be on his way to Botany Bay in less than a week, (Applause.) Yet those impudent foreigners come here and tell you that they are iu the possession of a natural rieht which they are prevented exercising. There is nothing equal to this malevolence but its impudence But we have adopted a series of meas nrps, which cr3 termed the compromise (applause)-which in my opinion, should be stttisuclory to the North, the South, the East and the West. It is a common platform on which all Americans can meet, and should meet, there to agree to protect an l defend the .institutions of their country, What in God's name, could we cm in by rthe destruction of this powerful government? It is the world's best hope, aye, it is the beacon of light, of freedom shining over the dark and troubled ocean, and inviting the nations of the earth to a heaven of rest and secu rity. (Voiciferous applause.) Destroy this confederacy, and liberty is destroyed with it forever. I trust therefore, that the American people will arise in their might, and rebuke all attempts of disso lution. It alt depends on you it all depends on the American people. If true to themselves, there is no danger of the American republic. I am sure they will be, and I am glad to hear this assurance come from Tammany Hall, the heart and centre of American Democracy. Your voice will resound throughout the coun try; aye., and you have already entitled yourselves to the gratitude of the coun try, by your endeavors to stem the tide of dissolution which st in another coun try. And in this place, so much sancti fied by the principles of Democracy, le me pay inai n is hoi e atone wno arc tru to our country. There is a portion

of another party who are just as true to

it as we are;.- Men of the whig party lave come forward and placed themselves in the breath and fought manfully for the constitution and union of the country. (Voiciterous applause) Let us do them justice. From-lhe Jr. V. Tribune. TWENTY DAYS LATER FROM CALIFORNIA. NO ELECTION FOR SENATOR. LYNCH LAW ONE MAN HUNG! By the arrival of the Georgia, we have t files of the Pan ami Star and the Echo of the 25th of March. Three of the mur derers of the passengers on the boat on the Chagres had been tried and sen tenced to be shot. The Captain of the baud of robbers who attacked the train of llowland 5c Aspiuwall, was also un-J der sentence of death. W. Hance. who ! murdered his brother-in-law, is in jail. awaitiug his trial. ' The construction of the railroad was steadily progressing. - . , . California, The Legislature had adjourned, after 144 ineffectual attempts to elect a Sena-. or. A man shot the Murderer huvcgl Frederick J. Roe, a gambler, shot a Mr". Myers, in a gambling house, on the 27th of Fob. Roe. anl three or four of his companions, were beating a miner, when Myers, in passing, told them to show fair play' an I upbraided them for all jumping on one min. II e cursed him, and while Myers was going off. the former drew his revolver, aal indict ed a mortal wound on Myers, who lived but a few hours. A scene of great ex itemen t fallowed. Roe was placed in jail, and a jury, under the Lynch law, was forthwith empann-lled. The authorities used thsir utmost eiforts to maintain the supremacy of the laws, but in vain. After the examination of witnesses, both for and against the -prisoner, the room was closed for the jury to. deliberate. Loud cries of Vengeance on the prison er," were now heard. The Jury found th? prisoner Guiltv. This, for a short time, appeared to quiet the inob. Ihe excitement, iu a short time time, again became uncoi.t olable. It was immediately put to vote that Roe houlc! be hanged, and carried unanimousMr. Rightmire said, the verdict had been rendered. He considered it the duty of all good citizens to see that it was carried out. He was ready, for his part. The prisoner ought to be hauged, d m litn. Vociferous applause.) The crowd then voted that Mr. Right mire should act as Marshal, and see that the verdict should be carried out. Storming the Jail. Having been re pulsed in the . first attempt to force the doors of the jail, the crowd pulled up an awning post close by, and with a bat tering ram, attacked the door, which verv soon yielded. Deputy Sheriff Harr s held the crowd at. bay for some time, but was forced out of the way, and the inas rushed in. The prisoner. Roe. was in the inner cell, chained to a post. After a long delay the chain was severed, and he was then seized and hurried up stairs and along the street, to the place of ex ecution. Several ministers were in attendance on the prisoner. He stated that he had done the act in a moment of passion, and that he had nothing to say for himself. His features were care-worn, and he seemed entirely prostrated. . He gave his name as Frederick J. Roe, was twenty years of age and was born in England, where his mother and sisters now resides. A rope was then provided, and the prisoner furnished with a glass of water. u.deep silence now pervaded the vast crowd present. The prisoner had to be lifted from the platform the .rope was adjusted and at half past nine o'clock, at night, he was launched into eternity. Myers, who was killed, was from Calumbus, O. a blacksmith by trade, and an industrious and quiet citizen. He has left a wife and four children. The steamer C'ara was destroyed by fire at Sacramento, on the 4th of March; several lives were lost. Lumps of Magnesia have been found in Grass valley, and on being analyzed were discovered to possess 2 cents to the pound of pure gold. New diggings have been discovered on Scott und Klamath, rivers, und yield abundantly. Crushing machines are being extensively used in California, and have proved highly valuable in separating the quart? from the gold. The yield from this sosirce is expected lo be very large. Two small steamers are engaged in dredging the Yuba river, and so lar have been quite successful. New mines have been discovered in the neighborhood of Monterey, Los Angelos, and San Diego, which ure said to be very produciive, The California News says: Business still continues dull. The ar rivals of foreign shipping have fallen off larglye within the past fortnight. The miners are doing well throughout the State, and largely increased amounts of gold are expected to be. taken out during the coming season. We have as yet very little rain in. St. Francisco, although the interior has been rather more favored in this respect, The Placer Times says: In all the dry digging , where there i

water, the miners are doing pretty well. Iiis our firm conviction, that more gold will be taken out of this State this snmmer than ever before known in California. A correspondent of the Times, under date of Feb. 22, says, in speaking of the mines near Senora, "The plains and gulches seem to be inexhaustible; aud through every hill and mouutain run v e i u s of incalculable wealth, lying perdu and unmolested, uutil legalility of possession shall bring capital and machinery, that will lay bare the mighty treasures of this wondrous land." Agriculture, which has hitherto been subordinate in our State, now bids fair now to assume its proper position in relation to a . wealthy and prosperous community. The rallies are being settled rapidly by industrious and energetic farmers. The prospects for an abundant yield of every description of produce were excellent, but the long centinued drought leads nnny to believe that the' crops will be a. total failure. Asevidence of the fertility of the soil aud forwardness of the climate, it is stated that the bailey nca-r San Francisco, on the 1st of March, was 10 inches high, and new potatoes were dug ut the same date.. A number of bcolbla k-5 are. cong cgeted in front of the Sjh Franriseo hotel. One of them sports a $500 diamond ring on his forefinger. Vail ego has been decided on as the future seat of government. . The city indebtedness of Sacramento, is about 6100,000. . The total debt of California, . pxcIusive of the war debt, is 8472,202, to which may be added S300.0UO to pay the expenses of the Legislature. The Sons of Temperance at San Francisco turned out in respectable numbers on Washington's birth-day. Charles Hazen. the second engineer of the steamer Clara, fell overboard, and was drowned. Messrs. Stillwell, Prentice and Evans ha ve a singularly formed lump of gold, weighing 51 ounces, which one of the firm intends exhibiting at the world's fair. The San Jose Balance says: A great many persons have left the mines and come here to engage in agricultural pursuits. A large number of farms, from 10 to 150 acres, have been put into cultivation. Barley, onions and potatoes are the staple productions.

The Next Legislature. Intheeentof the adoption of the new constitution, which we presume may be regarded as a fixed fact, the next session of the legislature will be the most important of any that has been held for many years The duties devolving upon it, in adapting the laws to the new organic code, will be one of the. most arduous and responsible character, amounting nearly to an entire revision. The single feature of biennial sessions, will require a vast amount of care and labor in adapting the law thereto. In connection with this matter must be an entire revision of the revenue system. Uniform laws must also be enacted. Regulating the jurisdiction and duties of justices of the peace and constables; For the punishment of crimes and misdemeanors: Regulating the practice in courts of justices; Providing. for. changing the venue in civil and crimnal cases; Granting divorces; Changing the names of persons; For laying owt, opening and working on highways, and for the election or appointment of supervisors; Vacating roads, town plats, streets, alleys aud public squares; . Summoning and empanneiing grand and petit juries, and providing for their compensation; Regulating county and township business; Regula t in'; the election of county and township officers and their compensation. For the assessment and collection of taxes for state, county, township or road purposes; Providing for supporting common schools, and for the preservation of school funds; In relation to fees or salaries; In relation to interest on money; Providing for opening and cofHntinr f ictions of stat count v,o fo - nsh p f ficers and designating the places ot voting: Providing for the sale of real estat belonging to minors rr other persons laboring nndr legal disabilities, br executors, administrators, guardians or trustee?. The importance of selecting en able, efficient, experienced and practical legi lature will be obvious to every one, and we urge it with earnestness upon all parlies, to endeavor to secure such a result. If the best men in the ranks on both sides are selected as candidates, we fdiall have a body of men of whom the State may be proud. Ind. Statesman. White River Navigation. A bill passed the late Indiana Legislature, incorporating a company to make White River navigable for steam boats, and giving to said company the exclusive right to navigate it for 20 years. The. compa. ny is organized: and their engineer has surveyed and reported favorable. They propose, to effect the object by erecting side dams at the different shoals, so as to turn the current of the river to one side. It will not be long until steamboats will be seen puffing through the interior of Indiana on White River, and discharging freight at Indianapolis.

The Wheat Crop. From various portions of this State and some other States, we have seen notices that the growing wheat looks remarkably fine. If this is the cafe throughout the grain growing section of the country, ea abundant harvest is almost certain, unless blasted in filling. When wheat is well set and forward in the spring, before the ground becomes dry, the luxuriant growth protects it in a great measure from the effects of drouth. The effects pf an abundant harvest throughout the country on its general prosperity, is underrated by many. It is true that a short crop ensures high prices, but the consequence is the farmers have but little to sell, and there is nothing to export. Hence trade languishes and no person is benefitted. When the harvest is abundant, farmers have a large surplus, and although the price may be low, yet the great quantities sold, bring to the;.r coffers a Irge amount of money, whereas, if the surplus is small the cash returns are comparatively small also, and the entire crop being consumed in the country, there is nothing to draw against in foreign countries to balance trade. The cost of livin-r !:cr dranr.

red. the price of labor must be. else the laborers and their families suffer to the extent of the difference. But in this i country there is. another large class whose importance is underated by many. Merchants through w hose business "hundreds o. h lusandi ate employed and supported. Were it not for this class we would have- no use for ships, steamboats, railroads, and canals, consequently the vast number engaged in the construction, repairs, and working of these would be forced to turn prcducers instead of consumers. There is scarce a doubt but tilers arc nure persons employed through ihe agency of mercantile purstits than in all the branches of manufacture together, which are but remotely connected with them. Agriculture, commerce, and manufacturers are so intimately connected, that the one cannot flourish while the other ia depressed. It is true that the two former may be prosperous and some branches of the latter not, but other braucht w:i. be stimulated to unusual activity, la this country agriculture is the basis of a!l srosperity, and wIhmi harvests are abundant avery other branch of business will be stimulated. This is illustrated by comparing the condition of this State last year with its condition now. The harvest preceding the last was short, and the consequence was depression of business and scarcity of money throughout the year. The last harvest was abundant business revived, the hum of industry and improvement was heard on every hand, and money became plenty, although the average prices of produce were lower. Cin. Commercial. A Great Max. George Lippard in his new work called the Nazarinc, thus speaks of President Jackson: "He was a ma 17! Well, I remember the day I waited upon him. He sat there in his arm chair I can s- e the. old warrior's face with its snow white hair ev n now. We told hint of theipul lie distress the mam.f uturers ruined, the eagles shrouded in crape which were borne at the head of twenty thousand men into Independence Square. He heard us all. We begged him to leave the deposi es whare they werf; to uphold the Great bank in Philadelphia. Still he did not say a word. At last one of our members more fiery than the rest, intimated that if the Hank was crushed, a rebellion might follow. The old mart rose I can see him yet. 'Come!M he shouted in a voire of thunder, as his clutched right hand was above his white hairs "Come with bayonets in your bands instead of petitions; surround the White House with your legions I am rady for you all! Hy the eternal! With the people at my back, whom your gold can neither buy nr awp, I will swing you up around the Capitol, each rebel of you on a gibbet high as Ha roan's. When I think," says the authnf. "of that. one man standing there at Washington, battling with all the powers of Hank and Panic combined, btraved hv those in wh m h trn.f p 1. asail-d by a'l! that the snake of malice could hiss or th fiend of falsehood howl when I think of that one man placinc his hack neainst the rock, and folding his nrms for thsblow, while he uttered his awful vow. "By the eternal! I will not sweTve one inch from the course I have chosen' I must confess that the records of Greece and Rm nay the proudest davs of Cromwell or Napoleon cannot furnish an instance of a will like that of ANDREW JACKSON, when he pi need life and soul and fame on the hazard pf a die for the PEOPLES WELLFARE. Ho for New York. Th N- Y. Tribune says the construction of th Erie Rail, road will be compl-led to Dunkirk bv ibe 15th inst.. and by the first of May the iron horse that quaffs the wMers of the Hudson in the morning, will quaff the waters of the Lake nt nightfall. . In anticipation of this the Directors of the company have made arrangements to check bagcape through to Cleveland, Detroit. Chicago. &c. The day line will run through in Iß hours, night line in 19 hours; this will make the run from New York to C'eveland in 26 or 27 'hours, to Detroit 36 hours, Cincinnati 40 hours, Chicago 48 to 50. & The trip frcm New York to Lafayette, by this route, can easily be mad- in three cays and a half.
