We have no doubt, that if a convention of western editors can be convened, an arrangement can be made of , mutual advantage to all concerned. What say Cincinnati editors? Our correspondent is doubtless correct in regard In point oflUerarymeriuhe second volume ia sup erior to the first. It may well be deemed one frand historical drama, of which William Prince of Orange is the leading character and hi* aion to the throne oi England the great and wel« come catastrophe. The first volume has no such unity. The preliminary sketch, embracing the • outline of the Revolution which ended m the death of Charles EL, and the reign of his successor, graphic and magnificent as it is, lacks the fol nes* of history, though it serves every purpose tor which it is introduced. The second volume begins with the base, corrupt, tyrannical reign of James the second, and the change it wrought iu the temper and spirit of the English people. At the proper point conies in a grand and strongly drawn portrait of William, and thence forward he becomes the central figure ofthe great drama, and all the other character*, though grand and striking in themselves, derive their importance horn their relation te hisadv&acemenL This second volume is, indeed one of the finest and moat superb historical essays we have ever seen. Some will insistlhat it is too liberal, (using the ward in its technical sense) on questions both of church and state; and others, though fewer, may .ehargeonittheopporitefauli. To our seems, in its tone and temper, as well as in grouping and is general effect, the very perfectioo.of history.— Abounding in details, it is never, dry.

Macau Is Jr’s History will have ten times as many reader* as any other ever written, ofthe tame, events. Its chief merit is that it is alive. His men and women live and love—move and and fill those who read about them, with all the pa*, ciou which their actual vision might inspire. He has clothed the skeleton of historical with flesh, breathed into it life and vigor, and given to it the ruddy glow of his own warm and brilliant im agination. Nobody who reads a will deem Eng* lish history dull or uninteresting. No one of Scott's novels, is fascinating, and few of those novels wflibd more widely read. The style in which the Harpers publish it is at once elegant, conveoient and cheap. We noted some days since what seemed to us an error on their part—the adoption throughout of Webster’s orthography. We still think they should have fol lowed the spelling ofthe author; for author*, and not puoliahera, are responsible for the orthography of a language. But the manner in which they have 'bees assailed for the course they have punned, and the means adopted to punish them for it, are at once aamanJy and mean.—Some of the Boston papers have signalized themselves by the excessive real they have, displayed upon this subject; and some of the Boston pub fish era announce a rivtd edition of the book, umhindfal ofthe virtual copy-right which the Harper* have bought. A disinterested seal for orthography is, of course, their ooly motive. They voluteer to become champions ofthe English tongue —defenders of the' tanh as delivered to Worces ter —seeking their reward is the gratitude of pos- to mention their profits on the edition they are about to print. ' We deem the spelling the Harpers baveadopted a blemish, but it 13 one of very trifling consequence, entirely unworthy the noise that has been made about it, and after a full and satisfactory expert* mem, we can assure our reader* that it will not w one case out of ten thousand, to any stumble degrpe, with the pleasure which the hi lory will, in itseh, afford For late by Robb Hdpkin., 4lh Street, P.tu burgh. ”** > TT; . a Sermon delivered m Trinity Church, Pittsburgh; by Geokoz Uxrou), D.

It seems the editor of the Post is afraid to let the Democracy of Pennsylvania see* through, his columns, what the leading and most reliable Democrats of Pittsbargh think of him. It is proper to say, that the correspondence which Mr. Harper refused to publish, only includes the note addressed to Mr. Wilkins, and the reply, sign, ed by the various Democratic gentlemen.

Those «tf in our opinion, are founded in error, unjust towards the persons assailed, and injurious to the interests of the community. From our personal acquaintance with yourselves and the manner in which your business bos been conducted, we believe, sod it is the public opinion, that ybur establishments have been managed with justice and regard to law; that the proprietors are regarded as useful, honorable and upright men, and have greatly contributed to the prosperity of this community, and that the efforts to excite the ope ratives against their employers, are uncalled for, of pernicious tendency, and opposed to the interests of the Democratic party and society m general.

Nor aboaid We now say anything upon the subject, had not the impression been created abroad by these publica tions, that in this city the operatives and employers occupied a hostile position toward each other, and it was boldly proclaimed that the factory proprietors were condemned by public opinion s» fit subjects for “scorn, contumely and contempt." Having always desired the esteem of oor fellow men, and unconscious of having neglected any doty to the laws of the land, to the persons in oar employ ment, or to any one else, it becomes on obligation to society as well as to ourselves, to afford the public means of forming s correct opinion on the subject In respect to the relation between the employers and their bands, the utmost harmony exists.

Washington, Feb. 20, 1849. Chring to Ihe 1 noiae aod coofuaion' introduced into tiria Bench by a young Democratic Whig Free Soil American citizen, who haa taken quartern therein, and who haa lunga equal to thoae of a member of Congress, I have been unable to pay that attention to the current news of the Metropolia which you and your readera have a right to expect from me. I muat hope by future diligence in fan reapect to make up for pant deficiencies. It is expected that General Taylor will arrive here on Thursday or Friday morning. We sups pose that be will have been unable to ascend the nve, to Pittsburgh, on account of the ice, and that consequently he will leave the boat at Wheeling, and lake the stage for Cumberland some time to day. He will taka quarters at Willard's Hotel. •' Mr. Polk will vacate the White HouaeonThurx day week, the lu of March, and he will leave town on the sixth. I shall make it a point to gtve him a piece at my mind before he goes I .op pose the General will urke up hta quarter, in the Executive Mansion on the fifth of the month. Am to the cabinet, it u not clear that Mr. Cr.t. tonden will not become a member of it. Letter, bom Frmikfon, once General Taylor left Kentuc. ky, assert the contrary; and it u> day, reported that Mr. Corwin mated it to be an aaeert.ined fact, thu he would accept the appointment of Attorney General. Rumor, which is, after aU, the only au. thorny that we can have in relation to these mat. tera, at this tune, asserts that Hon. Mr. Leche-, o f Kentucky, whose corneal far a seat in the Hoiule, many year* ago, was the causa of such protracted proceedings, is likely to become Post Master Geb eral. Do not believe it. Should Governor Critteo* den not come into the Cabinet, it is expected tkal Hon. Rererdy Johnson, ol Maryland, will be made Attorney General. It ia quite dear that he pos •eases two qualifications most essential tor that place, in being so excelled lawyer, and an able •P® Hon. Horace Bioney ia muoh talked of fcr Secretary of the Treasury—so are Mr. Stewart and Mr. McKenaan. of the same State. The Hon. Walter Forward, of your place, haa been suggest ed for the new department of the Interior, should the bill establishing it, pass the Senate, as it has done the House. The Hegira of the present administration will be a relief to Old Bullion and his friends. It is said that, owing to the personal feud between the party of the President and the" Bullion party, the latter, and particularly Mr. Benton, as the bead of it, have suffered the most c/ucl persecutions. The Bentomans charge that the whole power of the ad ministration has been brought to bear to boild op s faction opposed to Mr. 8., even in Missouri, with 4 w ki* defeat in the Senatorial election, which will taka place m August, 1860. The same in fluence has been arrayed against Ex Governor M’Dowell, CoL Benton's brother in law. The Gov* ernor is a Ana, moderate old gentleman, of the school of ’93 and "99. He really believes jn the political tenets which Jefferson and Madison taught, particularly those of them relating to Slavery. Of course he is no favorite with the modem Demo* crals. He utterly refused having any thing to do with the late Southern Caucus, and is the only Democratic member from Virginia who had the patriotism and courage to refuse his signature to their addess. For these things the edict of his pro scription is registered, aod a most energetic effort is in progress to hunt him down, aad l think it likely to succeed. There would have been no doubt at ail about it, had the term of the preseot administration extended beyond the day of the spring election in Virginia. Mr. Benton has made common cause with his kinsman, and does not conceal his hatred of the whole coarse of the ultra Southern fscuou, in respect to the Slavery agila lion, which has brought both of them into such political peni. It is said that, if Mr. Douglass' bill comes fiurly up for discussion, Mr. Bentoo will det hver a speech substantially supporting the free soil view of the territorial quetuoo. If this expecta tion be fhtfllled, there will be a fluttering among lha peculiar friends of the peculiar ruatituuon more peculiarly known as the Calhoun man, such as they have do( experienced since when General Jackson was making his preparation to struig up their leader under the famous second section. I think l am a candid and unprejudiced person, but if I hare any weakness, a is the perfect abbarretia* I entertain for the principles of that man, who, in the full blaze ol the general enlightenment of this age, can endanger the permanency of this great and glorious Union, through the unnatural lust for more slavery and more niggers. I cahoot fqrmsh yon with a sketch Of the highly interesting proceedings in the Senate to day. 1 will offer a few comments upon them. The h«l' over which the House had been fussing and tret* ting for three days, that authorising the payment of the instalments on the Mexican debt, as they fall due, each year, was taken up and passed in the space oi five minutes. When the Geoera! Ap» propnation Bill ouse up, upon which Mr. Foote bad yesterday proposed to engraft an ring on the President authority tw establish a c >m« plele system oi civil government, with the right ol appointing all the officers he should deem necessa ry, and of paying them just such an amount of* salary as he should think propier, and appropriating $200,000 to defray the expenses of the same, Mr- Walker of Wisconsin, had aa amendment pend ing for the extension over the new territories oi' the revenue laws of the United Stales. He accepted Mr. Foote's proposition as a modification of his own. To appreciate this movement, you must re member that this Walker has just been elected a Senator from Wisconsin, as an ardent Free Soiler, and here we find him. cheek by jowl, with Foote, of Mississippi, in the effort to throw the settlement of this whole controversy into the bands of James K. Polk ’ What a nice pair altogether I —What a commentary upon human nature 1 You know that as to mere party politics, I am free as air—that I care for nothing but free soil—the genuine unadub terated dirt from the boeom of my Mother Earth; — but such things atflict me They are eaough to make the angels weep. 4 Can iae h thing* he, And overcome as like a Summer cloud Without our special wonder" Henceforth I shall wonder at nothing—l shall put confidence in nothing. 1 was not foolish enough to put any great confidence :o this Mr. Walker, bat 1 confess I did think be was a doll, honest, substan tial sort of a man. 1 was mistaken—God forgive me for trusting any body, in any thing. I now al most wish 1 had beon an ‘original Taylor man' — nay, that I had come np at the eleventh hour, and gone with the crowd. But it is no use to lament Perhaps if Mr. Van Buren had been elected, he would have been as bad as Walker. And the Vice President decided (his proposition to be in order, and the Senate laid an appeal from the de cision on the table. Shoald it be adopted, the only effect would be to waste time, or to cause the toss of the Appropriation Bill, with its long train of evils and expenses—the first of which would be an ex tra session of Congress; for of course the House will have nothing to do with it Justus.

The Government of Great Britain i« . slled i li mited monarchy, but if it received its dennm n«. tion from the predominant element m its udm.mr tration, it would more truly be termed a bm.ted oligarchy. Practically, the anatocracy is aluays more or leas in submission to popular sentiment 1 but jxxenttaily tbqy have the direction of public affairs in their own hands. The majority of the cabinet almost luvanably consists of peers oi the realm. Of the present cabinet, with Lord J.»hn Russel! at its bead, one ball belong to the House of Lords, and every individual of the other half is connected either by birth or by marriage with the Kerage. A majority of the seals >! the Lower >uee, as I shall show in my next letter, are, nr at least may be, filled by the nominees of ihe nobility. The colonial Governors und the ambuswadors at important foreign Court* are almost universally selected from the ranks ol the umuoeracy. So unprejudiced man, whatever -eapect be may have for high descent, great wealth, and general con nection with ail that is decorouq and lofty can doubt that the aristocrats element of »*x-iety, irre sponsible os it is m its very' nature, has far too much weight and personal agency in the govern ment of a good and free people, like our English brethren. The peerage of England as a body, though there are many miserable and most disgraceful excep tions, are now of high personal character. Even most of those who have no lofty guiding principle, have a quick sense of honor, and a scorn o( a base* action. As a class,)they are not corrupted by vice, nor are they enervated by that effeminacy which baa sapped the strength of favored classes in so many other lands. Thcynrebolh intellectually and physically robust, and they share abundantly in all of those qualities which are comprised in the ex pressive word manliness. Most of them hove undergone long discipline in the senate or at the bar, or the camp ground, or on the quarter deck, and have thereby acquired the stoiniaa ol character which qualifies men for high posts aad arduous duties, aad which not ‘all the blood of all the How ards’ would be able of itself to give. No clus* of men in England have better developed phymeul organisations, the beauty of the English women of rank is Incomparable. The British nobleman ha* much of that high chivalrous spirit which long descent through ho nored generations naturally inspires, but be has little of that overbearing pride which springs from a contempt of inferiors. Arrogance and hauteur, a vain love of ostentation, and oiber nabod trails are generally not among Ins characteristics; on the contrary, bis intercourse with the world is usually distinguished for its courtesy, it* urbooity, its generous confidence, and its graceful simplici ty. His ordinary personal appearance exhibits no mark of foppery, aud is a* plain as that of an or* dmary American citixen. A Broadway exquisite would disdain to pnltem hi* habiliments afler those of an ordinary English nobleninn. The other day I saw one of ibe most distinguished Tory leaders in the realm sitting as chairman ofn pub lic meeting. How think you he was dressed*— Why iii course grey pantaioona, a thick'grey vent buttoned up to his chin, and with a rough brown coat considerably the worse tor wear; he appeared the exact counterpart of one of our sturdy Yan kee farmer* The relations that exist between the English nobility and their tenants are usually of a roost friendly and pleasant nmure, totally differing in character from Ihe same relations in Ireland. The British proprietor generally feels n personal interest in the fortuurs of In- tenant :>j< ! interest which Is commonly founded m the feet that the ancestors of both hnv« fived and died *n the same hereditary domains. And this interest is not confined to the landlord personally; it lg not st oil unusual to see his wife and daughters vi*|i„ mg the dwellings of the tenant, to mingle in hi* family joys and sorrow*. Not a lew noblemen build at thefe OWN expense schools aud churches on their estates, and maoifeot i-otixiaut solicitude for the intellectual and moral well .Iwuig i f iho«<- subject to (heir influence. it is very easy to draw a picture of the British peerage from the few profligate and abaadone.l scamps that dishonor it. but it i« very unjust Yet this is often d»ue by it* euetnie*. Reprobate uri«. toertr.y as we, in America, may and should, w c believe that not a tew of the noble* shed lustre upon their titles, and that the great mass of them Bre not only respected but deserving of respect A btd syitcfit not necessarily make bad U„; men who are beaefittrd by u. The onsto.iratl priucipls u firmly imbedded AO# only in the English constitution, but fo ihu habile association*, sad affections ul the Eughxh people—i say the people, jor aristocratic outrages iu Ireland hove eioilod m Rip jrph ho ■ soro the most intense hatred of everything savoring p f aristocracy The Englishman has an invincible passion tor liberty; but, unlike (he Frenchman, he is no stickier for equality. Like that greatest of all the eld*chaa)p a °d Y** manly and feurlesa.—» As the lord passes during the day, he will bow to him with the most honest deference, and, if occa sion requires, at the parish mectiug m the evening, be will differ from him with the most unreserved freedom and resolute independence. In this, as in all other civil and rods) relations, the true Bn ton has not degenerated since the days when Ta citus wrote ot his ancestors, ‘ut pu ream, nottdum ut The spirit of reform in England ias long been marching from triumph to tnumph, but the ansto craiic sentiment has not been invent from the b . rea * u o{ tb * people at large. The bond which divides and yet unites the upper aod lower classes of societyJs still essentially unimpaired. Whether this is, or is not to be lamented, such is the truth; and charti«t demonstrations, though they be bud and violent enough to fright the elements from their propnety, caonot overcome the stubborn fact. Mi. Clayton —Gd«. Taylor. —The correspon dent of the Philadelphia Amencan, wnting from Washington, under dale of l&lh instant, says that he has perused Oen_ Tatlor’s telegraphic letter to Mr. Clayton, and adds Like all ffoneral Taylor's productions, it is brief pertinent, and explicit It consists of one bondred and twenty two words. Gen. Taylor opens by slat* mg that he had been unable, before-the period of wnting, to determine definitively upon aoy ar» rangemeots for his Cabinet, (which explains why Mr. C. was uot addressed upon the subject previ ously,) and that he places at Mr. C.’s disposal the Department of Slate, and hopes it may be accepted. He closes by saying, that m offering Mr. Clayton •n l* Portion in the Cabinet, his acceptance will be equally as gratifying to the wishes of ibe country as it will be agreeable to him who ten ders it. resident oi the Telegraph Compauy took the precaution, when the despatch was returned from Mr. Clayton s lodgings, to send to Wilmington, with directions tor an express to folbw him. It i», therefore, probable, lhat he was in possession of the information, before it was authoritatively pro mulged here. This compliment, and the manner pi its execu tion, are equally honorable to both the distinguish ed parties. No public man in the I’nion deserved the distinction in a higher degree thau Mr. Clayton, and It is not presuming too much to say, that none is more eminently qualified for the discharge ot all its important duties. It )9 a tribute to his statemanship and public character, and not the reward of poliUc**] service. The republican party may well be proud of this honor to one who in all (he great conical*, has never wavered m bis fidel ity or principles, and.the country may rejoice over it, tor the security which ins sagacity ensures to the vessel of State The honor has been voluntarily tendered by Gen. Taylor in obedience to the general voice of the country. It has not been sought by the friend* of Mr Clayton, directly or indirectly, nor did they so far forget their propriety or compromise his merits, as to procure and prewot recomeodations, which seems to be the orderof the day in quarters where character and capai itv are wanting. It may sur prise the public to known the foot, but it is none the less true, that no correspondence of any kind ever occurred between Gen. Taylor and Mr. Clay ton. until the present despatch was received. They have known each other only as the world at large has known them both-through their poblic acts and established reputations. Beyood this appointment, notnmg is known or intimated m a reliable manner, nor will there he any indication ooul Gea. Taylor has conferred wuh sucb friends as he may think proper to < all into council. The selection cd Mr Clayton has afforded am. vetaat satisfaction and is regarded not only as an auspicious event for the Administration, but it is indicative of the adoption of that wise sod saga ciou« policy which he advanced on the door of the iq bu memorable speech in defence of ireo. Taylor, and which, I undertake to say cod* mbiited more to produce the great result that was achieved last November, than all thnspeerhr*. in or oat ot Congress, beside*. It laid down the broad republican platform which eaobled those who had heretofore differed with us, to join in a common cause, and which attract ed the confidence and respect of'all parties. That i»en. Taylor adopted that chart, and mean* to guide ha Administration by it, » within my cer tain knowledge, and if there was any beaitation upon the subject, the selection of him who devised iL for the ‘first position lathe Cabinet,' would seem to remove every doubt. A* ail event*, the future Will prove whether I have correctly indicated the policy that is to l*> pursued. bar the Pittsburgh Cl:aie. 1 see by your paper of tbia morning, that you have a carrwpondool—J —wbc. aaaem that Mr ( ave, ihe French engineer, is twtiiad the times in giving to the public his aocceM m expertnioent. prvvenling the m.mslaUoo of teJitoeal in boilera -1 beg leave lo may, (bat they are both behind the times.
