The Whig Convention having disposed of the whig nominations at Baltimore during the present week, and placed their men before the country, every eye and every mind is now turned towards the approaching Convention of the democracy, which is to be held in Baltimore on the 27th of the present month. The questions generally asked amongst the peliticians are—* Will Mr. Van Buren be nominated ?’—* Will Mr. Van Buren withdraw ?”—** Can he be elected if nominated 1” —* How is it possible that the democracy can triumph with such dissensions in their ranks ?”— “Will they agree upon a third man 1’—* Who will he be 7— Wall it be Cass, or Stewart ?’— “ What chance has Mr. Tyler ?”—** Ln what posi- tion is the administration ?’—‘ Where is the Tyler Convention to end ?” All these questions are more or less interesting and important, and will exercise great influence upon the progress of events during the summer, up to the election in November. Let us look at them in a calm and tranquil manner. The Convention—that is, the regular Convention called ‘ democratic,” which is to meet at Balti- more on the 27th of this month, originated in a re- solution passed by the former Convention, held there in 1840, whose nomination of Mr. Van Buren was so signally defeated in the overwhelming tri- umph of General Harrison. Some two years ago, a number of the States, and leading politicians, went to work and re-organized this Convention for November of last year; but, in consequence of violent opposition, chiefly from the friends of Mr. Calhoun, and also of some of the other candidates, it was postponed till the present month. From the very inception, however, of thisConvention, a vio- lent feud has existed between the friends of Mr. Calhoun in the South and West, and those of Mr. Van Buren in the Northern and Eastern States. They were rivals before the great democratic party ; but this rivalry they had political tact enough to in- dicate only by technical quarrels, relative to the construction of the Convention and the period of its meeting. At first the friends of Mr. Calhoun made a great deal of talk about the mode of con- structing the Convention, and offered to abide by its decision if organized-according to their wishes; but subsequent events discovered clearly enough that they cared far Jess about the principle supposed to be involved in the quarrel about the organization of the Convention, than they did about the nomi- tion of Mr. Calhoun in any contingency. tis now seen that the little flame orginally kindled between these two distinguished men, has increased to a great conflagration, threatening the very existence of the democratic party as a united body. It is be- lieved still that Mr. Van Buren ig the most general- ly popular candidate with the Convention that is to be held, and that if there were not certain insu- perable objections to him, he would be certain of receiving the nomination, and of standing another chance of being re-elected President. But the controversy within the bosom of the party has in creased to such an extent, as seriously to involve its fate and destiny, unless conciliatory measures be adopted atthe approaching meeting. During the last few months, there has certainly been developed a great many elements, calculated to weaken the prospects of Mr. Van Buren’s elec- tion, if he should be nominated. The cry is raised that his nomination will indicate merely a design of restoring the old office-holders, defaulters, and all that clique of hack politicians which disgraced his administration, and was the fag end of the Jackson party. With the young democracy of the present day, this constitutes a most serious objec- tion to Mr. Van Buren. His position again on the Texas question, although it has been adopted and promulgated by the Globe and that section of the democratic party, is certainly the unpopular side. Another objection is, that Mr. Van Buren is desti- tute of any personal recommendations in the way of historical reminiscences, or any of those asso- ciations with the fortunes and destiny of his coun- try, which awaken in the masses such enthusiastic regard and esteem, as are always offered to the heroic and brave man. The great fact that his ele vation to the Presidency was the result of his ad- ventitious connection with General Jackson—that but for the mantle of that great man, he never could have reached beyond a Senator of the Uni- ted States, or at the most some foreign mission, Tequiring no great talent, is a very popular objec- tion to Martin Van Buren. Another objection is, that the result of the experience of the people of this country, has been the tacit and almost univer- sal acquiesence in the maxim, that one term of the Presidency is the dictate of reason and justice, and that no man who sets himself up for a restoration or re-election, has a chance to obtain the suffrages of the people. This objection will, of course, have full weight against Mr. Van Buren, who has besides already had trials enough, and defeats enough, as well as against Mr. Tyler, who has been made Pre- sident, as it were, by accident; a sort of contin- gency similar to that by which Mr. Van Buren ob- tained that elevated office. But above all these objections to Mr. Van Buren, it is urged by the young democracy, and the result of the recent elec- tions indicate its importance, that if he be the sole candidate, there are no chances whatever of car- rying him in against the overwhelming popularity of Mr. Clay, produced in a great measure by the defection inthe democratic ranks, and the intense hatred subsisting between the northern and south- ern sections of that party. These considerations, connected with the con- tingency of Mr. Van Buren’s nomination, are be- sinning to exercise great influence on the minds of his friends. And, in this position of affairs, the question very naturally arises, “If Mr. Van Buren should withdraw, either peaceably or by force, who will the democracy hit upon with a chance of con- tending successfully for the prize of empire against Mr. Clay and his adherents?” We have heard only two names as suitable and likely to be pre in this emergency. Mr. Calhoun hag, it appears, himself withdrawn from the contest. Mr Tyler still persists init, but his chancesare almost as good as those of John Jones. So, then, the only remain- ing names that can be brought before the Conven- tion, with any probability of success, are those of General Cass, of Michigan, and Commodore Stew- art, of Pennsylvania. It may be expected that the whole force of the administration, as now organ- ganized, will endeavor to bring forward the name of Mr. Tyler; and the shadow of a Convention which is called for the same day in Baltimore, may endeavor to make a little fuss on that point, But that we regard as a farce from beginning to end, and, therefore, we believe, that the young and the oldjdemocracy—the whole elements of the democ- racy—the bulk and mass of that party, will have to choose between General Cass, of Michigan, and Commodore Stewart, of Pennsylvania—provided they come to the conclusion, as many believe they will, that Mr. Van Buren is out of the question Such ia Ba candid view that we take of the position of things at this moment, it will be per- ceived that the approaching ©, invention at Balti- more will exercise » mighty bearing on the result of the next Presidential election; and that the eyes, not only of the democracy, but of the whigs also, will be directed to its proceedings and results with the keenest interest. No one can doubt at all that only on the adoption of some wise conciliatory course of policy at this Convention, will depend the energy and force of the democratic party at the polls; for, if the present dissensions continue and the breaches be widened, there can be no doubt that the chances of Mr Clay will be increased ten- fold, and that he will most likely be the next Presi- sented Methodist Episcopal Conference. Yesterday morning the usual reading of the?roll of members was dispensed with as not requisite. Divine service was performed. Bishop Andrew took the Presidential chair, and called the body to order. The Secretary read the minutes of yesterday’s meeting, to which some amendments of seconda- ry importance, were suggested, and adopted.— One was, that the names of the delegates from the different Conferences in Canada should be specified in the minutes. The Chairman of the committee appointed to make arrangements for preaching and divine ser- vice, pointed out what he considered to be an er- rorin the regulation of the Centerence—the or- ganizing that committee—the word should be for the appointment of preachers instead of superin- tending, as at present. The alteration was adopt- ed. The President arose to make a few observations before the proceedings went further. He thought it would be well to observe that, as strangers were coming in and out, it would be advisable for mem- bers to sit within the bar, as described yesterday morning—namely, within the space intervening be- tween the pulpit and the third column from it ; and for the purpose of order, he would observe, that fone but members and officers of the conference should be admissable within the bar, unless invited to take a seat by the conference. Unless they were precise and methodical in their manner of doing business, they would get into confusion. He observed in the course of yesterday’s pro- ceedings, that they were sometimes subject to confusion, owing principally to the fact that, as soon as a motion was made, some brother got up to go to work directly upon it. Now, when a resolution was put from the chair, it was time enough to act upen it. This might be the effect of zeal, which was very good in its place ; but he thought it sometimes ‘happened that a little delay and deliberation rather improved speeches than otherwise. ‘There was still one remark he would make, and hinted it would be well received, as it was intended for the good—knowing they were disposed to do the thing good humoredly and com- fortably. He recommended to every member, when they arose to speak, to cast their eyes around and see if there was any other up to address the chair;that would prevent half a dozen of speaking at once. He would be happy to hear each in his turn, but among so many it was difficult to decide ; an he also iRought that no speaker should be heard unless he was on his feet, and he hoped that these remarks would not only be taken in good part, but acted upon by them. Rev. Mr. Fivtay moved that the book agents, Messrs, G. Lane, F. Waugh, and Lanstead, be invited. to take seats, and to speak on all subjects connected with the book concern. Adopted. ; ‘The same motion was put and carried in favor of Mes: itton and some others, as admissable to speak on topics. Mr. Bana: Faid that he understood some fresh delegates had arrived since yesterday, and thought they should at once present themselves. The President concurred, and two delegates, ‘each from Louisiana and Georgia, complied. On the motion of Rev. Mr. Sarru, the Rev. Mess: Bond and Coles were invited to take seats within the b: ‘The Rey. Mr. Lucky moved that the Rev. Egerton Ry- erson, and the other delegates from Canada, be invited to take seats within the bar of the conference, Bishop Sovtx said that the motion was uanecessary, and he would be sorry it would pass, The brethren named were recognised as delegates from the Canada church, and hy that recognition were entitled to take seats as mem- bers ofthe conference. Mr. Lucky was perfectly satisfied with thefBishop’s ex- planation. ‘The Presivent then called for the reports of commit ‘ees, Dr. Banas, a8 chairman, handed in the report of the 00k committee, which was read. It bore testimony to the zeal aud energy of their boek agents—the gratity ing growth of a taste for reading throughout the members of the church—the ample supply of means for the gratifica- tion of the taste, and the state of the finances of this de- partment, This wasin a flourishing condition, a large surplustremaining unappropriated. Tne report also spoke of the laudable and increasing disposition of the young preachers to study theology and other sciences. ‘It was referred to the committee on the book concern. The Presipenr next called for the presentation of me- morials and petitions to Conference. A memorial was then presented from the Providence Annual Conference on the subject of slavery. The Presivenr said that there was a motion before the house that it be read, and he would therefore request the Secretary to proceed with its perusal. The Srcretany accordingly proceeded to do so, but was interrupted by’a member who rose to state that he considered it a bad precedent to read these long papers to the body, and he therefore moved that it be left on the table. (Much excitement.) Several members now got up to address the house, and the President had no toa trouble to determine the right claimant for pri One moved that it should be read ; another hoped that it would be referred to the committee ; a third wouid be sorry to see any memorial from an An- nual Conference laid upon the table ; whilst another mem- ber recommended that it should be read, as the first paper of that kind before them, and, as such, calculated to con- vey to the Conference a pretty fair summary of the sub- stance of such documents ; this argument seemed to be well received, and the gentleman withdrew his motion for leaving it on the table, and it was read forthwith. (The memorial took a strong and determined stand against slavery—repudiated it as tially an heathen institu- tion, and antagonistic to Christianity. It took a historical as well as scriptural review of the subject—reverted to the fact of Russia’s gradual emancipation contempora” neously with the progress of civilization, and the retribu- tive justice of God on Poland, who is now a slave herself, for favoring the abominable system. It declared that the institution of slavery was subverting the welfare of this country—that their article on colored testimony was mest disastrous to the north, while it did the south no good. They justly held the people of the south responsible for the crime of slavery, notwithstanding their stereotype plea that it is approved by law. Not one-quarter of the white population of slave States were slave-holders, and they had the power, therefore, to change the law ) Dr. Banos moved that this memorial be referred toa special committee.composed of one member from each an nual conference, te be called the committee on slavery Dr. Carers arose and pronounced the motion unfortu- nate. He declared that he felt mortified that there could be found an annual conference capable of memorializin the general conference on slavery, as if they were all proslavery men—advogates of the system for the sys- tem’s sake—for the sake of the dollars. or the wealth, or such motives. He heard it read with pam, as a Methodist preacher ; and in opposing the motion he would say that it was such as should not be referred to a committee at all. (Excitement.) He was aware differenc ini existed on the Bropriety of introducing di this topic here, and he thought they had unwitting]. ministered to those differences by raising the discu on slavery from year to year, from conference to con- ference, and if they continued to act as if they were com- petent to legislate in the abstract on slavery, it would be a source of endless trouble. He wished to’ see no more slavery committees appointed—they had never done any goad, and they never would do any—he should like to see the memorial left on the table. Dr. Wysans said, that the fact of that memorial being from a Methodist Conference, entitled it to respect. While he regretted with Dr. Caper’s that the subject should cause a marked difference of opinion there, he felt that it was a matter which occupied se much attention and interest that it cannot be touched upon in that confer- ence ; and the worst thing for them to do was, to confine their enquiries as to the way of doing it with the least possibie excitement, fle thought that a refusal to read the memorial would produce excitement. When re: ferred to a committee they could report upon it or not, just as they thought proper; and would he was sure an: swer some things in that memorial which did not meet general approval. The public mind was settling down upon the matter, and he thought the best way was to re- fer it to a committee at once, as the best way to avoid ex- citement. Mr. Rice made a few remarks, when Dr. Carers M dei? got up to explain, Hehad no interest in the matter of a personal kind. He was no candidate for office, more than any other member of that body, but as to treating it with respect as coming from an annual Conference, he would wish to do so ; but if offence come from a brother, were they to wink at it. Ai ference should know beiter than misconceive the views id wishes of Conference on slavery, and ke thought that the respect the memorial deserved from him was his best how and a motion that it be left on the table. The Paxsipent put the motion amidst considerable ex- citement, and, in answer to a question, said he thought that a debate on such a motion was not in order. Mr. Eanty thought the motion was misapprehended.— The motion to lay it on the table was not for ever ; but he thought if they were to have discussions of this kind on every memorial,!they would never be done. He thought the best way would be to receive all memorials without appointing committees at present. Three years ago he moved for a committee on slavery, and he was asked why he did not do the same now. ‘He said that when he did move for a committee four years ago, it was to dispose of documents und memorials then presented , that motion Med hot in force now; for until this was brought forward, i ere Was HO occasion for such a step. Let them see what they had to do, ant receive all the papers on the matter before disposing of them. He was no candidate for office, He asked for no favor ; his interest in the matter was that of other men. He was there as a member of the Virginia Conference, and he knew the South and North differed on the matter, and would always differ, ond per. haps more than has ever yet been evinced, Asa Southern man, he had confidence in the brethren of the North, and knew their sincerity; but he believed them mistaken, Still he would treat them kindly; and if ever compelled to treat them nnkindiy, he prayed it might be at the dic- tate of the first law of nature—self protection alone. He did not wish to refuse the memorial, Wut m ely that it should lie on the table until they saw what was tobe done & he hoped Dr, Capers would modity his motion to that effect. Dr. Carens dissented. He did not understand parlia. mentary that was a phrase too large mouth—but he thought he had treated the memorial wig methodiatical propriety. The Parsipent thought the debate was out of order. Motions to be laid on the table were done without discus. sion. Mr. Eany, who was stillon his legs, and contending for the ear of the house, with several others, said he wished to finish his speech. With all respect’ for the President, his decision was very good if it did not prevent bim from’ finishing his syeech—(laughtar) After afew more observations, the motien was put and . Dr. Bases moved to snspend the order of the day to ap- point a committee at once. he Pussipeny said the motion before them was to that effect—(langhter.) ‘The motion to apppoint a committee was then adopted Dr. Banos then read a resolution that acommittee com- of a member fromeach Annual Conference should at once appointed, (A voice, ‘that isthe motion which has just passed”— laughter ) A very nondescript sort of conversation prevailed for a while at this stage of the proceediny what it was about, we could not exactly learn. President seemed equally at a loss, Itended in nothing at all, just when the members began to perceive that such must be the ter- mination. ‘The business was at last resumed by the Presizent call- ing for the other memorials, addi to Conference. A great pumber agairst slavery, were then handed in from the Providence, Maine, New Har . Black River, Pittsburg, Ohio, Mississippi, Kentucky, Indiana, Arken- Texas Conferences, together with many others Bisnor Souie arose to present some papers Which had been laid on histable on the day before. They included the memorial of W. J. Wailer of the Virginie Conference to the General Conference, pray in some expression of opinion on certain questions of doctrine and law, and-mak- ing some complaints against the manner in which the edi- tor of the Richmond Christian Advocate conducted that publication. This announcement seemed to cause a good Jeal of inte- rest, and was hardly made until some half dozen of mo- tions were made upon the matter. » The Préesivenr, in answer to a question of Mr, Karly, said that the number of the documents was two, and that if he had known by whom they were introduced, he would have taken other steps. Mr. Eancy said that although there were four delegates from the Virginia conference, they knew nothing of them. and their object was to know how they came there He thought thet what related to the editor should go to the committee on “the book concern:” what relates to doc- trines was @ new subject. As to what relates to the laws, it should not be entertained. What the Bishop asks you to do, all legislative bodies have refused to do from time immemorial. He asks you to explain your own jaws, It was fora commitiee to decide upon the parts, but as to the doctrinal part, there was no provision made. Its intro- duction would convey the impression that the Methodist doctrines were not yet settled Now, his impression was, that these doctrines were settled expressly, and he did not want to see them again settled by implication. Bishop Sou.r explained and conveyed the views of the body, of Richard Watson and John Wesley on Infant Baptism, which was the doctrinal point proposed in the memorial, declaring them to be standard authorities among Methodists. Mr. Sticek, as the person who left them on the table of the President, explained how he became possessed of them. They were given to him in Richmond,on his way to the conference, and as they were respectable looking pares, given by a respectable looking member of their “ly, he could not refuse them. He knew nothing of the nature of their contents, but, of course, hada suspicion, and thonght the best way way to quivtly hand them to the President. Dr. Banas expressed his surprise that as there were four delegates from Virginia they should come without their knowledge, He wondered why Dr. Waller would not ask some of them to do it. Mr. Wrwans objected to its going to any committee. If every individual,on whose mind difticulties existed, were at liberty to appeal to conference to have them relieved, on points of doctrine, there would be no end to it. Bishop Sour explained the nature of the documents. ‘The motion to lay them on the table was lost. Theat referring them to a committee was put and carried. In a few minutes several members arose and seemed unanimous in nothing but that the decision just come to was unwise and premature. Several motions were made to reconsider the whole subject. A discussion ensued, in which the Rev. Messrs. Bangs, Early, Slicer, Wynans, Cossweient, Smith, Finlay, Peck, Griffiths, Dr. Lee, the accused editor of the Richd, Advo- cate, and many others took a part. This lasted out the remainder of the session. It principally turned on the prndence of entertaining the memorial ‘of an indi who had already been heard on the matter by the Virgi- nia Conference, and whether it would be wise to set a pre- cedent for explaining the doctrines and laws of Method- ism. There was a Breat deal of talk expended, according to the admission of Mr. Finlay, who being on his legs half a dozen times to speak, said, that he “had some steam to let off, and would require fifteen minutes, if they were determined on talking it out.” ‘The matter was at last arranged by referring #0 much of the memorial as related to the Committee on the ‘ Book Concern,” and so much as related to the rules, to the Com- mittee on Revision ; but what became of the doctrinal part, we could not determine. Mr. Sanpronp, and several others, made long speeches to prove that they had no discretion to use in an enquiry astodoctrine. Methodism had prospered well without such enquiry and it was too late in the day to do so. Before Mr. ford had finished, several membera were on their feet to speak. ‘They in one thing succeeded, and that was to prevent Mr. 8. from finishing. One o’clock had neaeyi arrived, and several motions were made to lengthen the time of eession ; that for the purpose of hear- ing out Mr. Sandford, which was offered in a balf jocular manner,prevailed. Mr. Sandford, however, did not finish before the time was up. end he seemed to be a good deal disappointed, when the Conference adjourned till to-mor- row. Sunday School Annt~ersary. The anniversary of the New York City Sunday School Society of the Methodist Episcopal! Church was held in the M. E. Church, Allen street, yes- terday evening. The'time appointed was 7 ’clock, but a sudden and violent thunder storm, accom- panied with rain, interfered to delay the meeting until an hour later. The attendance, however, was very numerous and respectable. Fortunately the weather cleared up in time, and the ladies, ever foremost in a good cause, came forthto sanc- tion, with their presence, the cause of Sabbath Schools, and cheer the efforts of those who’ are engaged in this truly useful labor. The large church could not have held many more, and the presence of the Conference, now convened in this city, contributed a great num- ber of ministers, who assembled on the platform or took their places in the body of the church. Bishop Waugh took the Chair, and Messrs. Wm Truslow and Walter Reeler acted as Secretaries. The Rev, Mr. Clark conducted the preliminary re- ligious services. The Secretary read the annual report o! the Association, which was listened to with great atten: tion. It laid before the meeting a lucid account of the resent state and flourishing prospects of the cause. They jad no less in the city than nearly 7000 scholars, and an increase during the year of 859. ‘Their teachers and offi- cers amounted to 900; and the books in the libraries amounted to 11,000 volumes, which not only were a bene- fit to the scholars, but their parents, who were sure, many cases, to send their children te <chool for the pt pose of securing the use of their books. The Report p sented a bighly flattering view of the juvenile associa- tions connected with their body, and told some graphic anecdotes in illustration of their zeal—one striking evi- deuce of which was found in their having raised, during the past year, $700. After the reading of the report, the chairman introduced the Rey. Mr. Darbin, who addressed the assembly on the Sabbath School canse. He adverted ina feeling manner to tormer and warmly cherished connection with the very church they were then assembled in—for in it he had made his first speech in favor of Sabbath Schools. pointed the characteristics of the age in which hey lived, the most prominent of which. the future historian would designate as activity That was the leading feature in the social, political, and commercial world of the 18th century ; but above all was it observable in the Church of God. A hundred years ago the church arose to throw off its coldness. The re- formation had changed the forms of devotion, but not the hearts of the people ; but one hundred years ago was the second reformation of the manners and morals of the world. To this revival Europe indebted for the great activity she displayed in every period, “and the only explanation that could be given of the wonderful differ. ence between the nations of Christendom and those of the East. Their section of the church were not altogether 80 active as it might be. He wished to dwell for alittle on the question, what was the Sunday School cause? What did it propose? Mr, D. then entered into the great ad- vantages of that method of instruction ; the vividness of youthful impressions on the mind; the tenacity with which early scenes were remembered, showed the efficacy of schoel instruction. The most that education could retend to was to gnide the mind in the acquisition of newledge: there was no learning from books—it must come by experience. This a law of nature, which Sabbath teaching revered, in the case of the youth who ali Pes from the counting house labors of the week to the Sab) bath school. He instanced some cases of men of ce- lebrity who was indebted (o Sabbath school tenching ; particularly Adam Clarke and Dr. Morrison, the Chinese scholar and missionary, ond encouraged teachers not to be depressed if they dil not observe as rapid improve- ment as they desired, for it might be efter a lapse of man: years that those vivid impressions would arise asa guide to direct the life of the pnpil--perhops reclaim him from evil. Mr. D. was listened to with profound attention du- prs toa) Jong discourse, an’ made an obvious impression on the assembly. *The Rev. Mr. M. Farner of Tennessee, next addressed the meeting m a most happy manner. ‘His dexterity in pointing out the high position which this city occupied in the Union—the great things expected of her—the addj- tional motive for liberality furnished by the necessity of supporting her dignity before the members of conference, who would bear the news east, west, north and south, and talk of the great things done in the Allen street Chapel, were all ably set forth. He calculated that in the collection they would even surpass themselves * He would not dwell too long on that tepic, least in their anxiety to make prompt payment, they should cut short his speech. Their ability to do so he could not doubt ; the appearance of the Empire City, and its superb structure, showed that its in- habitants did’ net Jack means, and that large assembly — that handsome assembly, ruised his expectations. He called upon the collectors to go round without delay, and kept the audience in continued hilarity and laughter during the collection, which must have been considerable. At the suggestion of Rey. Dr, Jones, who next addressed the meeting, fifty dollara ware raised for the purpose of purchasing a lite membership in the American Bible As- sociation for Bishop Waugh. ‘The proceedings terminated phe 10 o’clock, and seemed to Rave given much satis- faction.

P POWELL, THis DOWNING, | Commer ‘We have got a full and graphic report of the pro- ceedings, which is unavoidably crowded out. Of all our late meetings held in New York, this meet- ing was the most unique and astounding movement that has taken place in New York for the last cen- tury. It walked into John C. Calhoun—John Tyler—and several distinguished men of the South, with a vengeance. It was an exclusive meeting of “darkies,”’ and all the speakers were “ men of color.” Look out for to-morrow’s Hera. Mexican Inpemnrry.—How does it happen that such immense sums, the property of our citizens, areentrusted to unarmed merchant vessels to be transported to the United States, when there are men-of-war which could convey the money without risk or cost, to the owners, and the commanders of which have even offered todo so? The convey- ance of the indemnity money is said to be talked of so openly at Vera Cruz before it is actually put on board a merchant ship, that nothing would be easier than tofit out a piratical vessel there or at Havana, and capture the vessel thus richly freight- ed the moment she made her appearance outside of the harbor, and in fact almost in sight of it. The attention of those most interested in the matter ought to be directed to this point before it shall be too late. If the mode of conveyance of this mo ney 1s not changed,we should not be in the least sur- prised to hear that the next instalment has found its way into the coffers of the sea rover instead of into the pockets of our merchants. From Lima.—We have accounts from Lima to the 15th of January. They are not quite so late as we have had, but they give us intelligence of three or four duels between officers in the Pacific squad- ron. In one of them Passed Midshipman Decatur received a severe wound,which will probably make him a cripple for life. Cannot something be done to end this mode of settling disputes in our navy? Lirte, eR FRoM Mexico.—The packet Ann Louisa, an Marschalk, has arrived from Vera Cruz, with advices to the 2d ult. Capt.

We find, in regard to domestic manufactures, the same results that we gave in relation te our agricultural products. ‘The increase in manufactures is estimated on the most official data within our power to command, It willbe observed that there is not that great difference in prices of manufactnres that we showed to exist in agricultural products, This is caused partly by the steady increase of productions, which cannot be regulated in products of the soil. The supply of manufactures is governed by the demand. So long as prices are remunerating, the manufacturers will turn out supplies. Consequently, we have reason to think that present prices, although at least thirty-three andathird per cent less than in 1840, are paying hand- some profits, perhaps better profits than those of thag period. What can be the cause of this? Wool has slightly advanced in price since 1843, Cotton has maintained a fair prices These have a certain effect, put compare}prices for these articles for the present time with those of former years, and we will see one cause of the reduction in prices of manufactured goods.

We see the quotations for the raw material from which our woollen and cotton manu- factures are made, reduced, while the quantity produced ia constantly, but gradually increasing. This is the cause of low prices. The currency produces ull these resnits. ‘The tariff has little to do with it. Until we are convinced that the tariff has an influence on the movements of the banixs—until we are satisfied that the tariff increases the value of money, by reducing the quantity of paper money afloat, and inereasing the supply of specie, we can- not agree with those who attribute the present proaperous state of the people, and the healthiness that exists in every department of trade, solely to the influence of the present tariff act. We must acknowledge that the tariff—a pro- tective tariff—has a certain very indirec: influence on the movements of trade and the condition of the country ; but it is so slight,compared to other causes,that it is nearly lost. The effect of the tariff, or rather the non-effect of the tari can be plainly seen in the above comparative table of quo- tations for wool. " Since the present tariff went into opera- tion, prices for this staple huve been gradually declining. According to the theory laid down by the politica} party favorable t» the tariff as it now exists, the reverse of this should have been the case. This article should have ad- vanced more rapidly than it has fallen off In 184i, the duty was merely nominal compared with what it is now. ‘The secret ia contained in the fact that, since 1841, the Jeans and discounts of our banks have fallen off one hun- dred millions of dolfars, and the circulation twenty-five millions. In consequence of this contraction, forty cents a pound for prime Saxany wool, in 1844, remunerates the grower as much as fifty cents for the same quality would in 1841. ‘The profits of production and the profits of trade are full as much now as they have ever been. All things have found the same level, and the results of (oil are fulle as satisfactory now as they ever were.
