A portion of them are indulging in a little Tariff talk, as a kind of feeler of the public pulse; but the people have not yet forgotten that these same man agers nominated and ran (to death) last. fall, as their candidate fur Govern or in this State, no other a personage than the notorious " Free Trade Davy" —the " betrayer of Pennsylvania's and the country's interests "—and are not likely to be humbugged by so shallow a. device. The thing is entirely too cool to be effective, especially at this late day. The people have but too re cently had their eyes opened by Know Nothing and Black Republican tricks, to have any pith in their present pro fessions. The late revulsion in money affairs was not confined to this country, but extended over the whole civilized world. Will any man, enjoying his seven senses, say, therefore, that the panic was ow ing to the Tariff 'regulations of this part of it ? Certainly not. Over spec ulation and paper expansion were at the bottom of the whole trouble, and this the people very well know. If unprincipled politicians would only let the Tariff alone, it would be vastly bet ter for the manufactnrdend operative, whose interests they pree%nd to have at heart. Would 801 l Out I The new Mayor of Philadelphia would willingly sell out his honors and income at a discount. He has not had a happy hour since his election. His newspapers are all quarreling about the odlleial printing, and naturally accuse each other of all sorts of treachery and dishonesty; the name of the importu nate Anti•Lecomptoa patriots who in cessantly beset him for office, is legion. It is a positive fact that he has been compelled to employ Democratic po licemen to protect him from the pres sure of applicants for office! The peo ple are already disgusted with the late " Anti-Looompton " victory, and if the election could be gone over again to morrow, a different result would be seen. The "opposition" party are only good in opposition. They are destitute of the tact, ability and cohesion neces sary to the direction and government of public affairs. Hence, when fortui tous circumstances give them success, their weakness becomes so apparent as to excite apprehension and disgust, and `they are discarded as NOM as the pat- Yudgcrient can have ty of reliording its conclasions. • • "Anti-Lneetaptenium."

Such at least is the bearing of s story which a few of the most rabid and senseless of the opposition journals publish, describing, as tt pretends to, a scene in a Sabbath School in Philadel phia, in which the children are made to express or exhibit, a high degree of disrespect for President Buchanan.— Even if true, which is denied, the pub lication should be looked upon as dis graceful by every true-hearted citizen. We hardly know whether most to pity or scorn such a contemptible device -fill childish as it is tory-like. The wonder is erpressed by a friend at our elbow whether the " anti-Le compton " school discipline is also to reach these parts. We shall see, and if necessary, "make a note."

The insult to our flag has caused no little indignation and excite ment throughout the country. Both Houses of Congress have taken notice Of the aids, and orders have been sent to the Squadron in the Gulf of Mexico, n0t.123 permit the boarding and exami nation of American vessels by British eruisars. Public meetings are being held in different quarters of the country, calling upon the Government to redress tilP inault. The Patriot and Union is quite right in declaring that there is nothing that fires the blood of Ameri cans like an attempt of the British to overhadl our vessels and search them. It was this arrogant assumption of an thority that led to the war of 1812, and if persisted in may speedily lead to another war with Great Britain. The ' Government has taken a decisive step to guard against the repetition of these outrages, and,will protect her merchant marine trom Iseult and the flag from degradation at all hazards. The Penasylranims Pays of these searches : They are part and parcel of that system of interference with the affairs of this country, which have been manifested in a Wise of sets all tending to teem the right of Eagland to interfere with the manifest destiny of the American nation. It is not safe to measure the intent of an action by the pretest set up to justify it. Especially is this an unsafe rule by which to interpret the coarse per med by Great Britain in relation to the af- Cairo of this Continent. She claims a proteo tante over a portion of Central America on the pretest of defending the rights of a drunk en, worthless savage. who had ne rights to be defended, and all her footholds on the soil of Central America have been obtained ander false pretences. When, therefore, she makes a wholesale demonstration against the rights of American commerce in the Gulf, and at tempts to justify open aggression on a plea which is known to be hypocritical and shal low, it is time that plain truths should be told, and bold acts performed in order to vin dicate the national honor, and protect Ameri can citizens from insults_ and their rights from being trampled upon and disregarded. Bat we hare the most abiding faith and confidenoe in the wisdom and patriotism of the venerable statesman now at the head of this Government ; and therefore feel coal dent that English scheming will be nipped in the bad, and the real meaning of this out break of British insolence exposed to the world. The very able manner in which Mr. Boca AN AN discussed the whole Central American embroglio, and la;d bars the de signs of Great Britain in that quarter, and his : intimate acquaintance with the hidden points of the Culeiqueetion, make him enii neatly qualified to handle and dispose of this latest exidiition iof English filibustering in the New World. Let the policy be a bold, fearless one, and the Nation will respond in tones that cannot be misinterpreted ur mis understood. Letter from Washington.

A late number of the Press contained an article under the caption of " The Germans and their Verdict in the Great Cause of Popular Sovereignty," which was such an inde leent and open violation of the true po- sition of our German citizens, as to draw from the Philadelphia Demokral, the leading organ of the German De mocracy in the nation, the following spirited and pointed reply : "The Germans and their Verdi(e in the Great Cause of Poputar Soorreiynty."—Under this head the editor of tho Press yesterday set of a rocket full of those brilliant imagination, which have gained him as much credit as a political writer. as they have injured his claims to the character of a careful observer. a thinker and a statesman.

Thus, for instant", the German Dem ocratic papers In Buffalo, Baltimore. Mil wankie, St. Louis, and even intChicaguitmelf, have by this time spoken out in favor of Mr. Buchanan's policy. The New York Eriaalsseiheng, it is true, has for a short time been fdlowing a different course, but induced by reasons and circum stances which leave us no doubt that it will soon come back to a second saw thought. Our German population, though in general a thinking people, possessed so very little political self-government in the "fatherland," that it is not to be wondered at, if many of them (and especially the emigrants of a later day, as most of those in New York and some quarters of the West are,) should take a side in political questions from first impulses, which they du not maintain after they have had time for due reflection. Of them may be truly said, that, though they may often be wrong in the begiening, they always become right a the and. So masts for the Germane. But the edible of the Press allows himself to be carried away so far as to give the publi 3 not only an erro neous idea of the charteter of the Germans, but also of his own character, when, in the article above referred' to. he mays: "And the motives of the tor mercenary pools. that, in defiance of the views to the contrary of an overwhelming majority of their readers, plead the hopeless cause of Lecompton, may be diicerned without difficul ty, by a mere reference to their advertising columns." The personal esteem and good feeling w• entertain for the editor, even while we oppose his political views, compel us to direct his attention t o this strip of the pen, as we wiU call it, because, upon sober redaction, he can not foil to discover that if he insinuates the motives of liii opponents are not based upon Opinions resulting from patriotic meditations, but may be discerned by a mere reference to the advertisements which they obtained, he invites and admits the opposite conclusion— that his own motives may be 'discerned by a mere referents) to - his want of success in who , lie desired to obtain. We are sure the editor will, after this, think better of himself and of the Germans, and we shall feel very glad to hare beton in strumental in bringing about the result. The true state of the facts in relation to the action of the Germap Democra cy, and their journals, is artfully con cealed by the Press. The Stoats Zei tang was opposed to the admission of Kansas under the Senate bill, but - on the presentation of Mr. knawares sub stitute, took ground in favor of the adoption of that plan, and now applauds those who supported it. As the Press joins with the Tribune, and other BLtek Republicanjournals, in anathematising the Bitouss substitute, it cannot sure ly count the Stoats Zeitung as in the number of those presses *llia am helping to aid Black Republican agita tion in Kansas, by advising the people of that' Territory to reject the Browse bill. The organ of the German Democ racy of Illinois, publksbed at Chicago, is also in favor of the settlement of the, Kansas question on the basis of the Emousn substitute, sod is now urging the people of Kamm to accept this fair, equitable proposition, and thus termi nate that bitter struggle, which has made the whole political capital of the Black Republican party. These are i facts whichahow how much dependence can be placed on the statement made by the Press with reference to the services rendered by our German citizens in the' case of Kansas and popular sovereign t. They illustrate most forcibly the character of the opposition which the Black Republicans and a few recreant Democrats are waging against the Na tional Democracy, but in which we are happy to know but a small portion of our German Democracy are now en gaged.

Ncgotiations of Colonel Kane, the Peace Commissioner—Gov. Cumming in Salt Lake City.—ST. Louis, May 17.—The following additional' particulars from Utah have been derived by the Repub lican from Mi. Garish, who left Camp Scott April 12th. While his informa tion does not fully corroborate the news already given, it leaves no room to question the fact that Gov.

The British Outrages on American Vessels. It is stated that Secretary Cass has addressed Lord Napier, the British minister, upon the subject of firing into and searching our vessels in the Gull of Mexico, and it is understood that his lordship will avail himself of the earli est opportunity to make some remon strance to the commander of the British squadron in that quarter. The news is as troublesome to Lord Napier as to Secretary Cuss. Two additional in stances of outrage are reported. The bark Glenburn, at Havana from Ant werp, reported on her arrival that she had been boarded by a British naval officer, who asserted that he had orders to board and search all vessels sailing off the Cuban coast. Captain Gage, of the bark W. H. Chandler, at New York, reports that while lying in the harbor or Sagua In Grande, his vessel was boarded by tho second lieutenant of the British steamer Styx, who ,made a thorough examina tion of the ship and her papers. Ile Mao boarded and searched all tho other vessels in the port, most of which be longed to the United States. This con duct aroused the indignation of the au thorities of Segue la Grande., and the port captain drew up a pretest against the action of the British naval officer, to which the masters of the searched vessel* affixed their signatures. Annexed is a brief record of the 0. orations of the British in the Gulf da ring the past three weeks:--Ship Tropic Bird fired into, boarded and searched; schooner Cortez seised and now detain ed at Inagua; schooner N. B. Borden fired into, boarded and searched; schoon er Mobile fired into, boarded and search ed; brig Robert Wing fired into, board ed and searched; bark Glenburn over• hauled at sea, and bark W.
