POLITICAL INDISCRETION.
Under-this head we were struck with the
singularity, not to My the extravagance, of
an article which appeared in the Commer
cial Advertiser of the 37th ult. We laid it
by for deliberate invcstigntion. \Vc have
examined it with attention. After blaming
the indiscretion of the electors of the 9th
ward, In nominating candidates for Presi
dent and Vice President of the United States,
with singular felicity the Commercial not
only goes on to say who will be our Presi
dent for the next term of four ycarf, but
with a prophetic. knowledge beyond the ken
of our days he intimates who will succeed
at the expiration of a second tctm. Should
the latter ex|>ectntion prove corrcct, and
that statesman, .; my period, become the
|H.*oplc,s chuict, i.iom heartily would we too
nay But the question, according
to the Commercial, is at present between
Mr. Adams and Central Jackson, or, to
use his own phraseology, "The battle,
when it comes, must be lought between the
'military chietuiiii'and Mr. Adams." We
arc not turc of tho correctness of this as
scrtiont but should it pivve true, we possess
some data, whence, we believe, by a plain
rule of arithmetic, it ean be demonstrated,
the very reverse of Mr. Stone's inmitkou
?w??4 |?U ? ?? TK,. 4% ?
cial goes' on to declare, " tint the latter
(meaning Mr. Adams) will be surreasful,
ihcrc can be no doubt in the mind of any im
partial ob server, who has watched the signs
of the times, and who will take a deliber te
survey of things as they are, ami who,
moreover, has sagacity enough to anticipate
the rffectu inevitably to flow from certain
cauKt." We rather think that the votes of
the people ol the United States will disprove
the ext'.aordinnry calculation here made on
governmental patronage, or the effect to be
uroduced front the enormous contingent
fund, as another operating caune. If the
claims of the 'military chieftain," as Gen
eral Jackson is sneeringly called, arc to he
opposed by such effeots springing from such
causes, in favor of a corrupt and corrupting
statesman, the niccess of General Jackson,
singly in the field, as the opponent of Mr.
Adams, is sufficiently secure.
We give the following list of the States,'
i and the manner in which they will vote, so
i far as there has been a manifestation of their
disposition with regard to the two candidates
1 named by the Commercial. The calcula
tion is made without a reference to any third
candidate. The Interposition of another
would, in all human probability, take the
election again from the people, and carry it
to the house of representatives.

Current* of the Ocean.?To the grcrit nn
nkluity of Mujor Kennel, practical naviga
tor* are noon to be indebted for new chart*
of the current* in the mwt frequented part*
of the ocean.
From Capt. Sabine'* nummary of the cur
rent* experienced bv 11. B. M. *hip Fhca
*ant, in a voyage from Sierra Leone and
New-York, it appear* that the Kquatorial
current between Muranham and St. Koquc,
waa ninety-nine miles In twenty-four hour*.
1'he Kquatorlal current is formed by the
drift water* impelled by the trade wind* in
the southern Atlantic toward* the eastern
Cart of the Gulf of puinea, where it Is met
y the opposing waters of the Guinea cur
rent.?This accumulated drift water then
streams off in the direction of the Kqii -.tor,
and being fed by the drift from the Miuth
cast, pursues its course aero** the Atlantic
to the coast of South America, procccd*
alone the northern coast of Hraxil to the
Gulf of Mexico, and raising the level oT that
sea, lays the foundation of the Gulf stream.
In its course across the ocean it* northern li
mit is in the 3d and 3d degree of south lati
tude.
The Rquntoriftl and Guinea currents ex
hibit the astonishing phenomena of parallel
streams in contact with each othor, and
flowing with great velocity, Lde by side, Hi
opposite directions. Their courses continue
parallel to each other and to the land, for
above a thousand mile i, ami ve**el* pro
ceeding in either dhree wn, placed in one or
the otaer* will be aided in their progress
forty or fifty mile* a day, or retarded to the
tame amount. The advantage of being
able to discriminate which current a veiwel
it In, Is therefore of great importance, and
this is made obvious by the difference of tem
perature, the Guinea current being ten or
twelve degrees warmer tl an the equatorial
stream.
On the 10th of September 1839, Captain
Sabine discovered a sudden and great disco
louration of the water from the mast head
in J deg. 'J N. lat. and SO deg. 38 W. long,
which proved to be the stream of the river
A mason, preserving its original impulse,
unmixed k? ft great degree with the waters
of the ocean, 300 miles from it* mouth.?
The greater speeHfe^ravfey of, the latter,
allows the water* of He former to flow over
Ks surface, and the line ef division is as dis
tinct as tho?|h they Ufcd been different fluids.
