Important Political Movements in New | i | firmed by the extracts from New Orleans journals, | tics. We particularly ask the attention of our readers, in every part of the country, to the graphic,correct, and philosophical correspondence which we are from time to time placing before them from the South. In this region of the country we have ne- ver had such plain, manly and complete informa- tion, concerning the social institutions of the Southern States, as that which our correspondent presents. Heretofore the prejudiced abolitionists of the North had done nothing but misrepresent the social condition of the South, and calumniate that generous and gallant portion of the confede- racy, by the publication of all the falsehoods and | misrepresentations that could be invented. We trust that the correspondence which we are now | publishing will aid in dispelling those prejudices, and in doing some kind of tardy justice to the Southern States.

The proposition made by the hunker con- | vention, at Syracuse, to divide the State ticket | with the barnbumers, has been accepted by the | { bamburner convention at Utica; and the union | was ratified, as appeared by the accounts uader our | telegraphic head, by the general mass union con- vention, held yesterday, at Syracuse.

One ticket, one effort, one pull, one destiny, now await the heretofore scattered and divided ele- | ments of the democracy. This is bad news fo, | the whig cabinet at Washington, and to the whigs throvgheut the country ; but fate is fate, destiny is destiny, justice is justice, cheats are cheats, rogues are rogues, honest imea are honest men, and every one will get his deserts before the day of judgment. | How was this done?

The machinery in our | establishment enables us, whenever the increase of business demands it, to publish a double sheet with great facility, with all the news of the day, and a!! the advertisements in every branch of buéi- however, to be called upon for a double sheet | daily. The population of London is two millions, that of New York only a little over half a million. But we increase rapidly, and we have no doubt our city will, before very long, contain as many | inhabitants as Paris—ebout a million. ‘The in. crease of advertisements, of business, of news, of everything else connected with the publ of a daily newspaper, will demand the publication of a double sheet Herald every day before many years.

It is the cus- tom for the engine to be cut off from the train, when it is within half a mile er so of the depot, and to allow the cars to reach it by the impetus given to them by the locomotive. The train proceeds rapidly, and is not checked until it is within a few yards of the depot. Making but very little noise and there being no light, it is not perceived and the wonder is. t! some seri- ous accident has not taken place there before this. We trust that due precautions will be taken in future. If there are not, the Company will no doubt suffer in da- mages.
