We cilium so credit; it is d ue t o the Ned, and the Ness alone. The question at issue between the two papers appears to be this. The Couutiastion, in its sashay to injure the Banbury reed, by predating the eon* summation of the misty subscription to its steak, charged, is sabsitanoe, that is conseqsanioe of the subeeriptions to various railroad projects by the city of Philadelphia that city was sow semi, bankrupt; and is proof, republished a paragraph front the Lodger stating that the city's "creditors bad levied upon the railroad stock owned by the muillhipality." And this masufactared ease it urged as an argument against the propriety of Erie county fulfilling its agreement with the President and Directors of the Soadrary road.— This, we say, is the issue is etabstattee, made by tb, C'oastireriosi It is not whether the editor of this paper "will undertake to justify the coarse of oar councils in giving away" the city property, or not. It is not 'whether municipal subscriptions are right s br not. It is not whether "Shanghais are imiltiplying," or not. But it is simply Wtether the Coasstitutiox attempted to deceive its readers, and the people of Erie county, by holding up PhiLsdelpitia as bankrupt because she bad subscribed so the capital stock of the various railroads contributing to her prosperity. la plain English, it is whether that veracious sheet has lied as usual, or told by es stair the truth, in regard to the cause of Philadelphia's embar- rassment. And upon this point, the News is peculiarly emphatic, and decisive. We quote again from its article: Without at all desigaing teiaterfamia the diseaselaaa 1.

The readers of the C'oestinstion have its first article, and the flews' reply before them; and eertainly they are intelligent along h baeosleet a "shanghai lie has been nailed" in a most effectual manner. And that, too, by the Philadelphia News, and not the Obierver N` The Gesell* has s "few words explanito rh" is regard to its position politically; but really we suss'. see what those "few wolliffs" explain. h ow:ye it is "Anti-Pierce, Anti-Slavery," sort of r dhig,Trt of Republican, and "kinder sorter" Know fothing! Now, all this we knew before; aad hence that is not what we wished to get at. Here is the point: Two or three weeks since the Whigs of Buffalo held a meeting to denounce Republicanism—to protest against fusion; in short, LO knock the Gazetk's "next beet thing" on the bead! Well, the Gazette said that meeting was a meeting after its own heart, and hoped there would be a similar one here. The next week, however, the Gazette, following in the wake of the Chambersburg Wkig, was very snook inclined to go the "nest best thing," which we take to be Republicanism, with a proviso. This week it is 'quite determined; aad now we ask where will it be next? Jedgiag by the past, it may be "book spin;" bet where it will be a month from now, is as hard to tell as whets Se. bastopol will be taken!

Not so, however, thinks a good many of tie old whig leaders, is whose sagacity the Gazette used to plane eoslidanee. There is CH0.41% and WINTHROP, of Massachusetts; and HUNT and Roanoun, of New York; and Drxon and Pita& Ton, of Kestaoky, and hawked* of othen we have sot time to inveterate. They can't ge fs sioa; it is sot the "(wet of fat things" to whisk they dedicated their political lives, and therefore is far from being "the seat best thing." In this they are supported by the old Hoe whigsof Maine, who, true to their autism principles, refused to be sold to "the next best thing." The same may be 'said of Massachusetts whe rea large and rewpeetable State Convention of the old liners of the whig party was hold, and took strong ground against the fusion disunion movements into which the mass of what had ones been their party were being drawn. Rufus Choate, not being there in person, wrote a most eloquent letter, which was read, endorsing the movement, and closing with the significant eentetioe—"We join ourselves to no party that does not carry the flag and keep step to the music of the Union." Winthrop, the very bead of New England whigery, wrote ( ' letter to the seine convention, a portion of wkiai we give below, io which he declares, that be "holds nothing within the range of political ac• tion to be paramount to the honor of Massachu seturesid the integrity of the American Union under the soastitatiOns whiSkritifsily fteuivii lib erty for them both." Patriotic and well expressed, will be the response of every man, be be whig of democrat,' ho does not think that a sectional. party, such as is. sow seeking to supplant the old wing party, "is the next best thing." In New York that same element has been at work, and in sum convention, it has pronounced the Gazette's "next best thing," to be the last thing that shall receive countenance. Among the declare- Lions of these New York whigs is this, which we heartily endorse: ficeaserl, That the inerifee of the interests of twenty- Ire millions of white nen, and silence upon all the princi ples that wooers theta, to the rapposvi interests of tilts* sad a half willies' of memos, is an abandonment of our own moo and color to aggrandise into orator iniportsoee die n e and color of th. African. The wbih, party was seats for the American and not for the African. But it was not to the action of the Whigs of Maine, or Massachusetts, or even New York, that we set out to call the Gazette's attention ; but to a portion of the letter of Hon. K C WIN• 211110 P, alluded to above. We want the Gazette to particularly notice his opinion of its "next best thing" in politics, and then tell us what it thinks of them We would gladly give the whole letter, for it is suggestive from the opening to the close, but we have not room. The following paragraphs, however, will give the reader un cep preciative taste of the whole production "But we are urged to abandon our old colors and rush wildly into the prutniscasotis ranks of .1 one idea party in order to promote some grand result connected with human liberty Let us look at the new pony for a aiugle moment in this particular light and see what claims it has to our confidence. Beyond all doubt a great and grievous wrong was perpetrated by the passage of the Nebrmiks bill. I naked with others in protesting against it at the outset, and I have no minis of palliation or apology for it now. It was an act of a ohs raoter to pet 'toys of desperation' into all our brains, to tempt us for the moment to break from all our old relations and to plunge into any pol- icy which might hold out ever so delusive a hope of redress. But a sober second thought may lead us to inquire what more can the whip of Massachusetts do on that subject than they have done already? Their Representatives opposed it at every stage of its progress by argument and by vote, while the very men *kw are now clamor ing most loudly for their aid and allianoe mani fested their appreciation of such fidelity by ly ing in wait to undermine and overthrow them at the wheat moment. And how happens it, by the way, that Mr. Wilson and his compeers have reserved their seal for 'the paramount issue' to so late a day? They tell us that the whig resolutions of last year were superlatively excellent, sad they seem never tired of rehearsing them with et:awcy at all their own eamitiiqp now. Why did they sot recognise their goodness a little earlier? Why did they cot give them an honest support IA the time they were passed and help to re-elect those who had bout true to them? Why was cot my old friend, Julius Rockwell, who is now fit to be their Governor, tit thee to be their Senator/ He had just rewired home from a faithful support of every Northern right; and yet, instead of rally ing to support him, they united to supplant him said strike him down in the dark, and with him all the other whig Representatives who stood firmly at his side. That was the greatest blow to the honest cause of freedom it has ever receiv ed in this Commonwealth; and we see where it came from; we see to whom it was dealt, and for what end. You would not have heard a word in favor of this fusion project from that source if certain men had been still out of office. Did a vote against the fugitive law or against the Ne braska bill—did the most uncompromising fidel ity to 'the paramount issue' ever satisfy them while their own anibitioa was ungratified? But, now that they are fairly, or natairly seated in the Senate or the House, they are quite willing to fortify themselves is their position by draw ing around them the very gentlemen whom they have ousted, and some of these gentlemen are polite enough to fall in at the word of command. And this brings me to my principal objection to the new party; sad that is, its erases' adap tation to defeat the very ends at which it profess oily Sun lamas of those who believe that the let:sine and reeklimenses of some of these old F maid leaden, who are now calling on the whole people to sustain than in the Aces which they have gained by every degree of indirection and imisessey, have bees the eases of not a few of thins very aggressions which they are so vocif erous in condemning, sad are destined to be the ownsiou of still new ones, if they are to be en easraged sad streaghtemed in their fanatical la mer.

The "indicted officials" bas been a standing bead for some time as every week seems to bring a new eorruption to light. Alderman Herrick's trial is now in progress and the result will soon be known. P. 8.--The jury has just decided that they cannot agree. It is difficult to say whether this will amount to an acquittal of Al derman Herrick before the bar of public opinion. It leaves him at all events in an awkward posi tion. But in order to relieve the dulness which al ways succeeds an election, as soon as•the choke of the people is decided, a new batch of "indict ed officials" will be introduced to the public, with developments richer and more racy than any yet produced. It it rumored that some gentlemen who have most ungraciously declined re-nomina tions this fall, have only done so to escape the course of justice. In this connection the election of sheriff is important, as some persons have int ugined that the aforesaid officer has an influence upon the empaneling of the Grand Jury. Our model Mayor will most probably marshall the forces on one side, and Herrick, ie., on the other, and we shall have the play of "The Cur and Allies" enacted on this side of the water. This is a comfortable prospect for the press, for nothing helps the Jouralist so mush as a free fight or a gay muss. It is prolific of paragraphs, and suggestive of moral reflection. The Crystal Palace is renewing its former glo ries in the attractions it offers in the fair of the American Institute. The display , of the useful exceeds that of the ornamental it is true, but as much interest is apparently felt in the steam en ' gines as in the Lubin's extracts, and especially by the fair sex, The forelorn bachelor of the Paris Exhibition, who stood for weeks by the case of cashmere and shawls, to detect a fair one who would not go into extacies over them might here find the long desired wife in many a pretty • Yankee girl, who is evidently more intent upon the examination of a sewing machine than the admiration of a laced basque. Forsooth it is time for bachelors to look about them. It is cal culated that_our Broadway belles spend at least $3OllO per annum to keep up merely a proper appearance in silks and flowers. One cannot help wondering where the money comes from, es pecially if he knows that the charmers cannot possibly get it from papa or mamma. But one morn not wonder too much or investigate too closely. City institutions won't bear it. Joule Morris, of the Supreme Court, died on tie 25th inst. He was formerly Mayor of this city. - The venerable consort of Cora. Chauncey, also died on the same day. Tbaekery ban ',wised, and will proceed to ful fil his engagements in leetaring in this and other cities, sad will, most probably cultivate an quittance with some of our most important pro- viseial towns. The product of his journeying', is, it is said, to appear in the shape of a next 'sterner's book. Basis, is the quaint title of a prettily execu ted volume of sugar tooth verses on the subjeet of kisses, and the manner of doing them ancient sad isodsraly. Published by Blanchard, of this eity.

The Mobile Register has taken the pains to look into the JP sue r , and serves its readers with the following: The .Sound' is a narrow Strait, lying between the Island of Zeeland, belonging to the Danes, and the Swedish toast, and gives entrance to the Baltic Sea. The fortsess of Cronburg Castle guards the passage, and here the Danish govern ment exacts a payment of toll from all vessels entering the Baltic—as well from ships of their own citisens as those of other nations. The or igin of this exaction is, that in the ancient times the Danes undertook to build and sustain certain light houses along the coast, for which the Hansa towns agreed to pay toll. England, France, Holland and Sweden pay a duty of only one per cent. on every cargo enter ing the Baltic Other countries, including the United States, pay one and a quarter per cent.; even Danish ships are taxed to this rate In the year 1 826 a treaty recognising this duty was con cluded between the United States and Denmark This treaty, however, according t) one of its sti potations, may be dissolved by either of the par ties, provided they give one year's notice of their intention During the Presideney of Mr. Tyler, our Go vernment determined to put a forcible atop to the imposition. Mr Upsher, the Secretary of State, fitted out a fleet of oierebantosen and vessels of war, under Commodore Stewart, which be de signedshould force its way into the Baltic and thus at once rid the United States of the Sound duties Mr. Upsbier's sudden death, however, by the explosion of a cannon, just as the fleet was ready to start, delayed the expedition and it was finally abandoned. Other attempts were made to abolish this tax. While Denmark was at war with Schleswig-Hoisting. Mr. Fleniiikin, the flniod State, Minister, offered on the part of his Government to pay enmark $250,000 for a ten year's suspension of the dues; his death pre vented the proposal coming to a head, Finally, on the 12th of April last, the United States no tified the Danish Government of their intention to cease paying the Sound duties; and the stipu lation of the treaty will accordingly expire next spring. Should no amicable arrangement of the question be arrived at in the meanwhile, we may then expect to see our vessels passing the Sound under warlike convoy. A senors conflict will then most probably arise. The Danes are much alarmed upon this sub ject, and fear the United States will size upon their West India possess i ons, the Islands of St. Thomas and St.roix. They are believed to be soliciting the good oMees of the French Govern ment. MYSTERIOUS MURDIEL—The body of a man was found Sabbath morning last, dead, near the Railroad track, two and-a-half miles below the station house in Ashtabula. The back part of his bead was smashed in, and near by was found r coupling bolt used in coupling cars together, on the end of the bolt was found hair and blood, and it fitted to the wound in the bead. There was nothing found on the body to give a clue to the name of the deceased; the body was conveyed to the station boase in Ashtabula, an inquest held on it, and a verdict given that the deceased came to his death by a blow inflicted oa the head with a coupling bolt in the bands of some person unknown, to the jury. The deceased bad on black tattiest panel with patches on both knees, a new black casaimere vest, an old gray coat, a pair of coarse boots, a black silk hat well worn, and a coarse striped cotton shirt; he was a man of medium height and ordinary size, with dark brown hair. kluxteo.—The New York Journal Of Com merce Iker the following remarks itt reference to the newly-elected .

Alvarez will mate way for the elevation for his trusty coun sellor, Gen. Comonfort, to the highest position in the Republic. In an address to his countrymen, issued on the 3d instant, Alvarez expressed the wish to retire to his satire mountains, and de clares his intention to remain at the seat of Go vernment only long enough to secure the sway of the principles for which he has been contend ing.
