The coa bioo party throughout the Union appears to be in eo eat distress in relation to Mr. ('lay, and the successor cf General Jackson Many of their leaders in Kentucky and in Ohio, foreseeing the folly of holding up a man for the Presidency who has not only lost almost every vestige of former popularity, but even t'e very intellectual strength and sag t ity on which it was founded, are casting about in every direction for another candidate on whom to concentrate their scattered loi ces in the event of the next presiden tial contest. Charles Hammond, of Cincinnati, who is one of the most clear sighted politician of that party in the western country, has actually abandoned Mr. Clay, and iven the signal for attempting to bring forward some oilier candid rc. Mr. Hammond is not a man to forsake a friend until he sees distinctly that his prospects arc in the " sear

Defeated partisans and discarded defaulters may attempt to raise a cry to agitate the country to disturb the public quiet to scatter scandal around the world, and sow division in every little community such is not our policy. An immense majority of the people supports the cause of reform." Our ranks are every day increasing, by accessions of the honest, the wise and intelli

gent. If the happiness and peace of the country the glory of the greatest republic in the world or the accomplishment of great measures, shall dispose the republican party to call lhe Patriot Horo a second time to the Presidency, we have no doubt but the same ardent feelings of patriotism which have guided his conduct heretofore, will again dispose hioa to listen for the last time, to the wishes and expectations of a g'.itcful but independent people.

molasses. The common puce of sugar at the plantations is now Irom six to seven cents, of molasses twenty five cents per gallon. It is calculated that the increased production ot HUgar and molasses is now so rapid and pro gressive in the U, S., that the production will overtake the consumption, progressive as that is also, in five years, and that the price of the articles will, ot before that time, be reduced one half, say three cents per pound for sugar, twelve and a half cents per gallon for molasses At that pi ice, the cultivation of the sugarcane will still be the best agricultural business followed in the U. S. and probably about as profitable as it is at present, the increased perfection of machinery, the decreased price cf slaves, the superabundant

supply of provisions from the upper States, and the greater facility of getting lands, be ing sufficient to counterbalance the decreased price of the article In the West India both sugar and molasses arc as low as lhe minimum apprehended in the U S , and it is notoriously true that in the price of slaves and horses, in the goodness of machinery md working tools, in cheapness of provisions, in

health and longevity of the slaves, in produc tion to the acre, all the advantages are now on the side of the Louisiana planter. There is but one point at which the West Indian has the advantage, and that is in the pi ice of land, or rather in the faculty of getting it

without price, and that is a tremendous advantage ! 'The King ol Spain, though despots, gave land to their subjects ; and it is ov:ing to their gifts of land in Louisiana, and the gifts of the French Kings there, that we now get any sugar fiom that quarter; for the federal government has sold iro land there, a few miserable parcels excepted, and nearly e very pound of sugar that is made, is produced upon the land which was the bountiful Spfts of Kings to the people before the Federal government of the U. S. got possession of the country. This constitutes the true difference between the prosperity of the sugar planters if) Louisiana, and of the cotton plan ters of Alabama and Mississippi, and the tobacco planters and grain gowing farmers of the new states in the West.

French ai.d Gcrmon papers which arrived this morning, throw considerable doubt on the continued advance of the Russians and negative the asserted fact of a battle at Kirk Kilissa, in which the last Turkish army had been totally defeated and dispersed. Indeed, they go even be oud this, and claim a victory on the part of the Turksia the vicinity of Bourgas. The Pacha of Adriar.ople is said to have brought up his forces in support of Hussein Pacha ; who had been driven out of the town, and both are represented as having fought a most sanguinary action, and inflicted a severe loss upon the invaders. In the confused and irregular manner in which intelligence from the seat of war generally reaches us through the Foreign papers, it is difficult to ascertain the real truth of the case. Official Bulletins alone give distinct facts, dates

and places, irom which a correct opinion can be for ucd. Whether the Turks, therefore, remained more true to themselves than the private letters shown us yesterday and the public accounts stated, or whether the Russians were stopped in their course by pacific overtures on the part of the Sultan, cannot yet be distinctly ascertained. It appears, however, that the latter have not proceeded towards Constantinople with the rapidity which had been anticipated ; and the prevailing opinion in London this morning is, that they have either made or received covertures of peace. Indeed, private communications from Paris, state that the late disasters had not only brought the Sultan to his senses and convinced him of the necessity of making peace, but that he had requested the Allied Ambassadors to send proposals in his name to the Russian camp, and that those proposals would be sent as soon as the inr"''ni,f; T't r"'i r' ti o f X rliMntnLi V.

Ambassadors thinking them more likely to be fovourably received after the Russians had passed the Haikan than btjlre they had completed that operation, the success of w hich they considered necessary to their military character. The nature of he proposals is also said to be such as to command attention, as the Ambassadors would not consent to interfere unless it were with the prospect of doing so effectually. That these statements are true to their full extent we have as yet no means of proving, but we have some reasons to believe that they are not very incorrect.

As to the Greek question it is almost considered as settled. The Sultan consents to the recognition of the independence of ( u c ce ; but the point now in dispute is the manner in w hith that recognition is to be iftadc known, to the w oild; the ambassadors insist upon the t ecegit'tioii being made known by a public docuiiu nt, or hat ti sehriff. The S.dtan had not consented to this when the courier left on the 'Ah, hut the ambassadors Leem to be confident that he would finally ield this point.
