There is now no doubt that the general election tor members of the convention to amend the con- stitution of the State, has resulted in the saccess of the democracy. New York city sends sixteen de- mocrats to swell the majority which, there is every reason to suppose, the party has obtained throughout the State ; for, by the result in this city, we may | safely judge of the result in the other portions of the State. It is now beyond a question, that the late over- whelming defeats sustained by the whiga, are tobe traced to their-desertioti of those great principles which were formerly the life of the? party, and to their lapsing into abolitionism, Fourierism, and other similar vague and visionary absurdities. The rank and file of the whig party will not be led into the pursuit of such shadows, let their leaders coax them ever so sweetly; and when they are led into the field without any great principles to contend for, they will not fight with any spirit, and-their enemies obtain an easy victory. ’ We are firmly of the opinion that the’ defeat of the whigs in the late election of delegates to the convention, is mainly attributable to their strange pertinacity, in endeavoring to force upon the , people a meagure for the extension of the right of suffrage to the negro race. The measure is so generally ob- noxious, that we cannot conceive how the whig feaders could be so short-sighted as to make it a test principle. Had they possessed any foresight or discrimination, they would have foreseen, that to press so foolisiia measure, at this juncture, without presenting any other popular principles to gild the pill, would inevitably result in a total defeat. Inasmuch as the defeat of the whigs will prevent the embodiment of an articte in the constitution extending the right of suffrage te the negro race, we rejoice that the election has turned out in favor of the democrats. We look upon the measure as extremely injudicious at the present time, and en- tirely uncalled for on the ground of necessity, or even of expediency. It is not possible that a time will evér come when such a feature in our State policy can be deemed advisable. There are many important questions demanding the attention of the convention. We presume that their efforts will first be directed to the enforce- ment of a thorough reform in the administration of the law, to the correction of legal abuses, and of other serious defects which exist in our present constitution. But it is very certain that the atten- tion of the delegates will be chiefly turned to elec: tioneering matters, and that the convention will be | turned into a sort of caucus, to concert measures tor organising and establishing the ascendancy of party, at the approaching and future elections. ‘There will be a regular “battle of the factions” be- tween the two contending portions of the demiocra- | ey—ithe hava burnersand the conservatives—the red hot y-tour-forty, Oregon and Ualifornia, Polk and Dalias men, and the Van Buren-Wright men» | alias old hunkers. The trial of strength between these two factions, will form an amusing and inter- esting feature in the proceedings of the convention. It seems to be settled that Silas Wright will bea candidate for re-election. This will be all-impor- tent, both for the success of the party in the State, and to seeure his chances for the Presidency in 1848, which, in the present aspect of affairs, look extremely small. But it is impossible to tell what turn affairs may take before then. John | Young, of Livingston, will probably be the can- | didate of the whig party, for Governor. It wil! be the policy of the whigs to widen the breach in the | democratic ranks. If they husband their forces, abjure the heresies the adoption of whieh has lately contributed to their downfall, keep aloof from the discussion of all questions which are obnoxious to | the body of the people at large, and hold themselves 1n readiness to take advantage of the divisions of | the enemy, they may still have a chance of success in the convention, and the next State election. The small parties—such as natives, national reformers, and abolitionists—which have branched off mainly from the whig party, will, doubtless, before next fall, have resolved themselves into their original ele- ments. This may be some accession of strength to the whigs ; and there is little doubt that those small parties, seeing the lamentable falling off of their strength, exhibited in the recent elections, will not be willing to expose themselves to the mortification of another defeat, and will join the respective par- | ties from which they emanated. Should this pre- | dietion prove true, the democrats will have no despi- cable force to contend against. | | 1 | Buea axp Burren—Weanerer ann [noxrsoL, — The controversy between theese two gentlemen, re- | minds us of the little boys, who, having eaten all | their bread and butter, and lost all their marbles at play, and having no other means of amusement, began, forthwith, to pick a quarrel with each other. “‘What are you looking at me for?” says one. “I’m not looking at you,” says the other. 8 you are. “No I’m not.” The by-standers are appealed to. “Wasn’t he looking at me?” a d—d |—r, and a coward to boot,” says the other ; and then commences, between principals and back- | ers, a regular up-and-down, rough-and-tumble fight. | Both parties come off with discolored eyes and | bloody noses; and after thus contributing to the | amusement of the spectators, both slink off,with the very gratifying reflection that they have acted a very, foolish part. | There are two committees of the House appoint- ed—one to examine into Mr. Ingersoll’s conduct, | | which may be called the bread-and-butter commit- | tee; and the other to investigate the truth of the | charges against Mr.-Webster, which may be called the marbles committee. Now, itis our opinion that the investigations of both committees will amount to just nothing at all. It 18 impossible to change the | opinion of the public as to the respectability or cha- racter of either of the belligerent parties. Notwith- standing ,the wholesale denunciations of the party press opposed to him, Mr. Ingersoll will still retain the same rank in the estimation of both friends and enemies, that he now hokds. The history of his financial concerns is too well known, to at all affect his standing or character. The investigations of | the bread-and-butter committee will not, therefore, | elicit any thing to that gentleman’s prejudice, in the estimation of his friends. It will not raise him a peg higher in thet of hisenemies. Mr. Ingersoll, as Chairman of the Committee of Foreign Relations, | had access to the State Department; and in looking over the archives of the Department, stumbled on | those documents which he has brought forward to criminate Mr. Webster. He had a right to have access to it in the discharge of his official duty, and consequently had no difficulty in obtaining a sight of the documentsin question. The idea that he re- sorted to unfair means to gain possession of them, | is totally absurd. This will, dowbtless, be the purport | of the report of the bread-and-butter committee; and the charge ogainst Mr. Inzersoll will thus fall to the ground. | The main part of the charge against Mr. Webster is, that he used a portion of the secret service fund | for the settlement of the Northeastern boundary | question. It isalleged, that in order togive atone | to public opinion on the frontier, he gave douceurs | from this fund to several locofoco editors in Maine, | by which they were induced to advocate the treaty. It Mr. Webster did use the secret service money | in this way, to secure the paseage of the treaty, we | think that he converted it toa legitimate purpose, | and fully in accordance with the intentention of the law by which the fund was created. The little loco- foco papers on the border, could not subsist without some sustenance. They consequently clamored against the treaty, on the same principle that chil- dren cry when they are hungry; and to silence this clamor, in order to secure the passage of a treaty which he thought would be beneficial to the coun- | try, Mr. Webster threw some of the most ravenous of those hungry children a piece of bread and but- ter from the secret service pantry. In this we think he was fully justified. All the party papers are sup- ported on this black-mail system. Certain individu- als, inorder to obtain certain’ political ends, contri- bute an amount of money te establish a paper that will advocate their interests. The editor 1s the au- tomaton that moves the pawns, or the knights, or the castles, as the case may be, according to the di- rection of the wires underneath. But the men that move the wires must have their daily wages, else | the wires will not move ; and thus black-mail is le- vied on the wholesale. If private individuals con- tribute black-mail for political purposes, we see no reason why a Secretary of State should not do so to secure anend that appeared to him justifiable. We have an open and palpable instance of this black-mail system, in the establishment of the Union—the organ of the present administration at Washington. This entire tramsaction, comprising as itdoes the self extinction of Messrs. Blair and Rives—for a consideration—the appointment of Mr. Ritchie by Mr. Polk for ever—that is, during his administration—also for a consideration—to wit, thathe should be allowed to fodder at the Congres- sional manger—forms one of the most amusing and | Ey interesting pazes in the history of the black-mail system. It will thus be seen, that Mr. Polk, as well as the supporters of all the partizan papers through- | out the country, contribute black-mail to secure their own ends. We do not see why Mr. Secretary Webster should be impeached for doing privately, what is openly done by the present administration ; so that the investigation of the marbles committee will be attended with the same results as that of the bread-and-butter committee. Both will be obliged to return their writs endorsed nulla bona, or rather, nulla mala; and thus this sublime humbug, the ap- pointment of investigating committees, to ruin the reputations of two distinguished men,who hate each other with deadly hatred, will come to a farcical termination.

Quite the, most important intelligence for which we are indebted to him relates to Captain Fremont. That gallant and adventurous officer reached Captain Sutter’s settlement, at New Helvetia, about the lst of February last, with a force of about sixty mounted men, as we are informed. ‘aptain Fremont had been so fortunate as to discover a | new route or pass, by which California can be reached by emigrants in “or ‘8 less time than by the old route via Oregon. T! w route is perfectly practi- | cable for wheeled vehicles, and when it comes to be generally known, wiil gi renewed impetus to emi- gration to California. ‘e have no information to enable us to point out where it strikes off trom the Oregon trail, or to explain its course. Captain Fremont left his ty near Captain Sutter’s, and himself to jonterey on visit. We have no information as to the period of bis return, or the route that he will pursue. ‘The representations made to us in regard to the state of California confirm former accounts, legiance to the Central government of Mexico is alm off.

Quotations have not materially varied, buy Prices are heavy, tending towards a decline. Sterling exchange was firm this morning, at ten per cent pre- mium,with a very fairdemand. We hear of no ship- ments of specie. At the first board, Norwich & Worcester and Canton closed firm at yesterday’s priees. Ohio sixes improved ¢ percent; Pennsylvania fives } ; Morris Canal fell of +; Long Island 3, and Harlem }. The transactions were limited, and the market rather heavy. Very little was done at the second board, and we notice no variation of |. | Consequence in prices. One dol lar bills altered to one'bundred dollars, and | two dollar bills altered to fifty, of the Hartford Bank, are ncirculatien. The Brooklyn Fire Insurance Company have declared 8 dividend of four per cent, payable on the 10th of May. A bill has passed the Senate of Michigan to suspend | indefinitely the provisicn of the Butler act requiring taxation for the payment of interest on the State debt. The interest has been fully provided for by the sale of the Central Railroad. | The Miner’s Bank, Pottsville, Pa., has made arrange. | ments to redeem its notes at par in Philadelphia. It as said that the Manufacturers’ Bank, Nantucket | will agadé spsume business, and pay its notes in full. | There is some difficulty in regard to the issues of the White Plains Bank. They are under protest, and it is | reported that the bank will be wound up. Its circula. | tion is about $32,000, which is secured by stocks, mort- | wages, &c., in the hands of the Comptroller. Congress has now been in session five months, and 20, | aringle important measure affectinz the commerce of the country has yet, been perfected. The only thing ac. | complished as yet is the passage of the Oregon notice | Tesolutions; and although the city is filled with ramors that the President has carried out the spirit of these reso lutions, by giving the notice,we have little faith in them” | It isalso reported that negotiations have been resumed. | batween the Secretary of State and the British Minister; | that the Caledoni: brought out @ new offer from the | British governmont, of a character so favorable thet | there was very little doubt but that it would be accept- | ed; that treaty in relation to Oregon was in the course | of preparation, and would soon be sent to the Senate for | ratification; and a dozen other things connected with thit | matter—all of which require confirmation. One thing | in relstion to this question we do know, and that is, that it is losing its interest on this side of the Atlantic; all fears of « collision between | the two countries upon the matter in dispute have disappeared, and there is not that manifested tor a speedy settlement, heret< fore experi- | enced. Other matters, of more immediate importance, | have taken its place, and the people of this country will ina short time, be so occupied with other things, thet were it not for the clamoring of politicians and their ef, forts to ride into office on some hobby, we should sink into thet masterly inactivity so much talked of in Con- gress. Whether the notice is given immediately or not, | the fair will never again (unless a rupture should grow out ofit) agitate the country as it did when first | brought forward. We get used to these thiagsin time, | mo matter how important the influence they exert upon commercial matters, and long for a change—some- | thing new, something to change the current of our ideas | is required; and the moment it is found, it ocoupies all minds and fora time rivets the attention of the masses. In the midst of the excitement produced by the Oregon question, the commercial and financial classes through- | out the country were panic struck by the announcement | that the independent treasury bill, with the most re- | stricted specie clauses, to go into full ope'ation on the 20th of Jane, 1846, had passed the House of Representa | tives bya large mojority. This announcement, as un | expected as it was important, came upon the banks and } upon the speculators of the country with such force | that it absorbed all others. Everything else was lost ; Sight of—the debate in Congress in relation to the | Oregon notice lost its interest, and it was predicted by the organs o! the opposition that the country would be hopelessly, irretrievably ruined at once ; that there was | no possibility of surviving the shock of the re-establish. ment of the odious bill; that it would not only | ruin any party adopting it, but would prostrate | the country into utter ruin. Fer a time these pre- dictions had a very alarming effect, and a panic greater than we had experienced for years, spread through our Commercial cities. At one time it had reached such a | height that the notice resolutions were considered use Jess, as the country could not possibly survive the en- forcement of the independent treasury bill. After a little time, the second sober thought prevailed, the mea- sure assumed more favorable shepe in the minds of these opponents, and many arrived at the conclusion that we were not going to be s0 completely ruined as they at first imagined. The dark clouds began to die | Perse,and the face of commercial affairs began to brighten up alityle. While this gradual improvement was going on, it was announced in the Senate, by the Chatrman of the Finance Committee, that it had been unanimously agreed upon to recommend that the independent trea- sury bill go into operation on the Ist of January, 1847, instead of the Ist of July, 1846, as recommended by the lower house. This committec suggested this extension, with a view of affording the banks time to prepare for the new order of things, with the supposition that they Would,in the interim, prepara the mercantile community for the full operation of the law, so that even a mere tem- porary pressure upon the commercial interests of the eountry would not be experienced. It wes also an- nounced that precedence would be given to a warehous- ing bill, also to bills for the establishment of branch mints in New York and Charleston, a; remedial mea- sures. An immediate relief followed these announce ments, and the public mind became once more quieted. All these measures are before Congress in an imper- fect form. The lower house has disposed of the Inde- Pendent Treasury bill for the present; its concurrence upon any amendments the Senate may make, will, how- ever, be required. The Warehousing bill, which origi- nated in the Senate, has not yet been acted upon in thet body. It is set down for the 1ith of May, and as it takes precedence of all other commercial measures, we cannot look for any action upon the Treasury Bill for seve- ral weeks. The new tariff bill is before the lower house, where it originated. Several unimportant billa take precedence in that body; it is, therefore, uncertain when it will come up for disposal. We have very little doubt but that many necessary and important modifice- tions and reductions will be made in the present tariff act, and that the ad valorem principles will be adopted; but at present it is impossible to point out where the al” terations will be made. Considerable’ opposition to any alteration will be experienced in the lower House,21 account of the great variety of interests there repr sent ed; but in the Senate we look for more unanimity of ac- tion, and a more speedy settlement of the question. The annexed is the substance of a report made by & select committee of the lower house of the Legisiature domain.
