WilliamLcggott always recognized the distinction betweenessential Democracy nml the professedly Democrnric party, following the latter onlj so fai as

seemed consistent with devotion to the former andthe Evening Post under its present feebler andmore rime-serving direction lias not hesitated to

nsscrt the siune obvious distinction.The first Political contest in which we ev< r took

a distinct interest will serve to illustrate tins dis¬tinction. It was the Presidential Election of1884Five candidates for President were offered, but one

or them was withdrawn. Icuviug four till of them

members in regular stnudiiic of the so-called Re-publican or Democratic party. But n Caucusone-fo]trth of the Members ol Congress had seit*ed one ol the four (Wm. H. Crawford) as the jRepublican candidate and it was attempted t

make the support of this one atcstof parry irtldoxy ami fealty. Tins was resisted, we thinkmost justly and Democratically, by three t. tri -

the People, including a large majority ol thothis State. But among the prime movers of theCaucus wires was M,tr!i>i Van Bitren of this .State,and here it was gravely proclaimed and insistedthat Democracy required a blind support of Crnwlord in preference to Adams. Jackson or Clay till ofthe Democratic pnrty. who wore competitors fortho atution. A Legislature-wus chosen ns -Re¬publican' before the People generally bad begunto think of the Presidency, am! tins Legislature, itwas undoubtingly expected, would choose Craw¬ford Electors of President But the friends of therival candidates at length 'wan to bestir themselvesand demand thattho N< w York Electors should bechosen by a direct vote oi the People, ami not }by n forestalled Legislature This demandwas vehemently resisted by Martin Vau Burenund, those who followed his lead, including theleading Democratic' politicians and Editors ofthe Stute, the Albany Argus, Noah's Enquirer or

"National Advocate. A.c. Ac The feeling in favorof an Election by the People became so strong andgeneral that Gov. Yates, though himseli a Craw¬ford man, wan impelled to call a spei ial session ofthe Legislature for this express purpose The Asaembly passed a bill giving the choice to the Peopic by au overwhelming majority, in defiance ofthe exertions ofVan Buren A C Flagg &c. Thebill went to the Senate, to which body Silas Wrighthad recently been elected from the Northern Dis¬trict, and elected by Clintoniau votes on an explicitunderstanding that he would vote for giving thechoice of the Electors to the People He accordingly voted, on one or two abstract propositions,that the choice ought to be given to the People Hutwhen it came to h direct vote, tins Mime Silas

Wright, now Governor voted to deprive the Peopleof that privilege, by postponing the whole subjectto tho next regular sessionofthe Legislature, whenit would be too late for the People to choose Electors for that time. A bare majority (17) of the Senators thus withheld from the People the right the}demanded- The cabal failed tu their great ..b eet,

after all. for several Members ol the Legislatureelected as Democrats took ground for Mr Clay, andby uniting with the friends of Mr. Adams defeatedmost of the Crawford Electors, and Crawford lostthe Presidency .We were hut thirteen when thistook place, but we looked on very earnestly, without prejudice, and tried to look be\ ottd the merenames by which the contending parties were

tainly believe But our correspondent and we

would probably disagree with regard to the Bankand other questions which convulsed the Union

during his rule, and we will only ask his attentionto one of them, the earliest and in oir view the

most significant.The Cherokee Indians owned and had ever oc-

copied an extensive tract of country lying -within

the geographical limits of Georgia. Alabama. Ac.

J It was theirs by the best possible title.theirs byour solemn and reiterated Treaty stipulations. Wehad repeatedly boueht from them slices of theirlands, solemnly [guarantying to them all that we

did not buy. and atrreeioe to defend them therein

against all aggressors. We had promised to keepal! intruders out of their territory. At least one ofthese Treaties was signed by Gen. Jackson him¬self others by Washington. Je°*.son, Ace. Ail theusual pretexts for atftrressioo upon Indians failedin this case. The Cherokees had been our friendsand allies for many years thev had committed no

.

depredations; they were peaceful, industrious, mgood part Christianized, had a newspaper printer! intheir own tongue, and were fast improving in theknowledge and application of the arts of civilizedlife. They compared favorably even,- wrv withtheir white iieitrhbors. But the Georgians covetedtheir fertile lands, and determined to have themthey set them up in a lottery and gambled them oil'

among themselves, and resolved to take possession.A fraudulent Treaty was made between n fewCherokees of ho anthority ><r consideration and

sundry white agents:, including one who stole theliver.- "f Heiiven to serve the devil in,' but everybody scoffed tit this mockery, as did ninty-ninehundredth* of the Cherokees.Now Georgia, during Mr. Adams's Administra-

f tion, ntt'-uipted to extend herjurisdiction over these

poor people. Mr. Adams, finding remonstrance of

no avail, stationed a part of the Army at n properpoint, prepared to drive nil intruders out of theCherokee country, as wc had by treat}' solemnlyengaged to do. This answered the purpose. Geor-;ein blustered, but dared not go farther. She went

Prom the Rio de In Plata,By the bark Mason Barney, Capt Scott, from

Montevideo, sailed July 3, the Commercial Advertiserlias n tile ...t Buenos AyreS paper, to the 13th of June.The V. S brig Bainbridge sailed tor Buenos Ayres on

the 25tb of June, having on board Mr Harris, the I'. H.Charge d'Afiaires.A short tune before the Mason Barney sniled. that part

ot the British 45th regiment which wn< at Montevideo,was embarked for the Capeot Good Hope, leaving the73 regiment behind.The Buenos Ayres paper of June 13 contains a letter

from an off.ccr of the force under General Mar.ciUa.giv.ing an account of the engagement between tie., Paranaexpedition ami the forts at 'luebmcho. winch werethrown up to oppose the passage of the convoy d<>wnthe river. We had some notice ot this engagement twuor three weeks ago. from the captain ol one of the mer¬chant vessels, who wrote after his arrival at Monte¬video. That furnished to the Buenos Ayres paper differsfrom the other in several essential particulars. We ex¬tract the following .

The piratical convoy consisted of 90 merchant-men,led by 12 .hip? of war. -viz the steamers F'irebrand.Gorgon. Alecto. Lizard and Harpy, bngantine Dolphinand bri£ Fanny, British and the .learners Gassendi andFulton, corvette Coquette, !*-.g ?an Martin, and brlgantineProcidn. French rr.ounnnj: in all 95 guns of various cal¬ibres, trora 24 to SO;lbs. To oppose tins formidable ar¬

ray, besides a buttery of 3 ..uece. placed the night pre¬vious on an island in front of our principal position,we had only IT pieces of riving artillery and 500 iniantry.At the hour above mentioned the enemy commenced atremendous tire upon our positions, with the view ofprotecting the convoy. We returned it in a spiritedmanner, not losing sight of the merchantmen, whose cu¬

pidity had led them into the scrape.At halt-past meridian, a Br«tis!. bark of about 250 tons

burthen, isupposed U be the Holywood or the Caledo-mal and 3 schooners, one of tnem pilot-boat ngced un¬der Correntjno colors in tiieir endeavor to avoid ourtire, got aground on n bank near an island on the oppo¬site coast. Five of the enemy's largest steamers pro-cc d.-d to their assistance, but finding our tire too hot forthem, they rettaqulahed the undertaking, and tied at fullspeed. Subsequently the Lizard was sent on the sameerrand, but had it not been for the timely aid of twolargo steamers which returned to protect her ,he wouldinevitably have been destroyed.At 2 P. M. the tiring entirely ceased, the enemy ha* ing

set rlre to and abandoned the vessels aground. The :atter were soon consumed, with the excepnon of the pilot-boat ng*ej schov.ner. laden with hides, yerba and to¬bacco, whtch was rescued troru the flames by four boatsdispatched by us from the shore. The greater part ofthe merchantmen threw their deck ioads overooaru. inorder to avoid grounding, and we could see lercic. ofverbs and petscoes of tobacco consigned to the writer,intermingled with the bodies of the killed. I believe 32of the latter have been counted Both the vessels ofwar and merchantmen were completely riddled withour shot. It will take them some time to repair beforethey can proceed on their voyage.Our 17 pieces have tired l.UoO shots, grape and round,

and our infantry 20,000. The enemy miist have fired atleast 2 .Vs.1 shots and 900 Congxeve rockets. The onlycasualties we have to lament are 1 infantry -oldier killed,Lieut. CoL Thome and four soldiers wounded, theformer slightly m the left shoulder.From the paper of the same date we take the follow¬

ing paragraphs .

The Carpet Weavers..The following is n

summary ofthe Address adopted by the Convention ofCarpet Weavers and delivered to the Manufacturerswho attended the Convention in Tammany Hall.The Weavers desired a fair remune-^tion tor their

labor, and the question was. arc the present rates too

much, or are they sufficient As a general thing thewages .it a Weaver averaged about 7.7 cents a day. butwhat would be h;s condition If one-fourth of this pittanceshould be jaken nw.y . They could not live like themechanics ot oth-r trades, who get a iair remunerationfor their labor What were the prospects for future op¬erations The TaritTof 1S46 was different from that of

1848, still there was thirty percent., it was possible,even yet to manufacture carpets and have remunerating

prices. It would be good policy for all concerned to rixat moderate prices the prices to he paid for weaving.these rates to be considered permanent nnd obligatoryupon all in the trade. The tendency of the runningdown system is to produce a race of paupers, an un¬

taught, irresponsible population. But this can beavoided, the business of carpet weaving can be so

conducted as to avoid such deplorable consequences,provided the manufacturers ..-ease to compete so bardupon the running down principle. This Convention was

no advocate for extreme measures. It repudiated the ideaof strikes, and tumultuary, coercive means. It soughtto obtain redress by reasonable means. If this systemof reduction is to continue, there was a limit beyondwhich men weavers must look to themselves. The present race of carpet .-reavers, at least, will not continueto drag out a miserable existence; others may be foundto take their place, but they would not form a communi¬

ty such as any honest man would desire to be surround¬ed w"ith. It would be better to avoid all this. Adoptsuch measures tne result- of which the manufacturerswould view with pleasure and results, too. that will re

dound to the good ot the community generally, and se-

cure the everlasting gratitude of the working classes.The following resolutions were adopted by the Con¬

vention yesterday:Retoietd. by this Convention, That the refusal on the

part of the Manufacturers generally to meet in confer¬ence with tins body, shows a marked contempt for theirworkmen, and deleat*. in a great measure, the cherishedprospects .»1 settling amicably our present difficulties.

Rtsciced. also. That the thanks of this meeting beawarded to those two gentlemen from that body forih.-:r srtendance h.-r,-. and tor the declaration on thepnrt of one of them of his willingness to eo on at thepresent pr.ces If others would do so. proving our state¬ment as well as our proceeding on ta,s occasion to becorrect

correspondent of the Philadelphia Enquirer reports n

story, which it true, is one of tbe mn! extraordinary oc¬

currences that ev.-r took place, and throws all the nov

eltie* of the present age entirely in the shade. It appear*that s certain young Indy. a daughter ofone of the weal¬thiest merchants in Boston, had formed an attachmentfor a handsome young man, who was a clerk in herfather's counting room, and had determined to Lave himfor better or worse, although her father had previouslygiven her hand to another suitor.The lady's father having heard of this attachment,

feigned ignorance, but determined to break it off, nndgive !..- daughter to the gentleman he had promised her.For this purpose he directed the young man to takepassage in one ot the steamers that left New-York and

proceed to England, and transact sonn- business for himthen-. The lover accordingly came to New-York, butmeantime, the young lady got some knowledge of herlather's intentions, and sent a message by Telegraph tothat effect to her lover in New-York.The expedient the two lovers resorted to for accom¬

plishing their desire, and defeating the father'* v-.ew*.was novel and extraordinary. She took her stand in theTelegraphic office in Boston, and he did the same, with a

magistrate, in tbe office in New.York, and with the aidof tbe hghoiing. they were made bone of one bone andflesh of one rleah. This is certainly applying this inven¬tion to a purpose never contemplated by ProfessorMorse, and exhibit* a great deal ot ingenuity.A few nays since the lady's father insisted upon her

marriage with the gentleman he had selected for her.and a* might be expected, he was amazed when shetold him »he *« already the wife of Mr. K. and themanner in *hich the ceremony was performed. Mr. B.followed hi* employer's directions and went in thesteamer to England. The merchant. I have heard, i»taking measures to contest the validity ofthe marriage.
