PosMion and Progress of the United States— India and Colifornta, Since the colonies of Great Britain became fe fice and indepyadent States of this vast werblic, internal sud commercial prosperity, ud individvel and national have Been repidly augmen and the enterprising energy of oar people, t thirty years, have noi only produced fmonense practical results, but they have been per- gvived by the nations of the earth—always slow to betieve that they were to lave a powerful commer- gial rive! on these shores, Ff ten years ago, be- tere the Meaican war had ests blished our courage ard braveiy es adequate to meet the armies of the old werld, the leading journels of Europe, refleet- dag the popular mind temacically ridicuied our Protensione to natic gteainees. Profound igno- ranee was the source of this treatment. The Eng- lish nation, in particular, that had advanced to ite own proud position by patient and slow steps, could got believe that, in varters of a century, a peny republic could make sich rapid strides, as to bea competitor with them in @iai prosperity. Within live yes however, and Just at a moment of vast interest and importance to our future progress, the dignity, energy and power ef this country have been universally perceived and unhesitatingly admitted. Astill more full realization of our power and @ommercial vastness end national energy will Booa be expe d. The discoveries of gold in Balifornia, ond the immense impulse given to every gpecies of trade by the richness and fruitfalness of the dry and wet diggings, opening vast wilds and fengled paths and inland lakes and rivers, in vari- @as sections, and uniting the Pecitic and Atlantic eeeans, wil! not only give a full third of added power lo our commerce and products, to establish the complement of our greetaess, but will extort ffom the whole world the ready con! mn that we are second in nothing truly valuab! try of the glehe.

The voluntary population of that region by a civil foree, fequiring no extensive military establishment like that of India, must produce far more important benefits to thie nation, than the establishment of the Pritich empire in India has effected for Great Britain. Though there are like effects from both tides of enterprise, the remunerating flood from California promises to far transcend in power, nese, and extent, that which has flowed back fro India to Englond. It is trae that owe Westera States may be depopulated to some extent by the emigration towards the Paciic, bat the hardy pioneers of the West are the very men required for such a region as California. Inured to toil, and partially acclimated, they are happily constituted to work out the very best results. Their absence from the Western States is no great loss. Their place will soon be supplied by the industrious im. migronte orriving, in thousands, every week, upon eur Atlantic bourd; while the Western agrical- turists will remit back to their houses much of the treasure of their toil, to enter largely into that dis tribution of wealth that constitutes the happiness and prosperity of society, All the accounts from California—the opening of paths across the isthmas, and through the Southern passes of the mountains at the north of it—show that we have only faintly @alized, a yet, the inevitable and important re- onght by the | The extent of our ree | rece of commer | , to any coun- | t, with all the profit | sults, which are to establish this nation as without a rival in commercial, and, consequently, in every other, greatness. llow far these commercial extensions and en- largemeuts will affeet our moral and politieal cha- racter, Will be a problem, This is not so ew ily solved. Ove thing, however, seems certain—that it will be impossible to restrain those tendeacies to the largest limit of freedom, encouraged by our institutions. New communities will be likely to profit, in morals and pelitice, by the experience of the past, and to perfect those systems which have caused internal eommotions in some of the old States. May heavea grant, whatever be the re- sults, that the genera! prosperity will only lead to the happiness of the people at large, and to the com- mon glory of or common country! Tre Nasuv tie Convent 1 Yori po }—The merebants of New York complain of the singular non-appearance of Southern mer- sis city, atthis business season. ‘The fact jution, It is the spontaneous, simul- and pre-determined movement of the nera masses—the echo of 1847. In the spring ut year, on the adjournment of Congress, itherners foresaw the agitation by the North, in Congress, of the slavery question, What was to be done? Various opinions obtained as to the time and manner of meeting the issues. Wait, vuid some, for an overt act of the North and of Congress. Whigs and detuocrata each claimed thet their respective perties could seve the South to the Union by their Norther conservative allies in Congrcer, some of both parties at the South chant | | 8 crest. ‘They alleged that fa union of Northern con- eervatives—both whigs and democrats—might, if Southern whics and democrats would unite, save the Union, in a munner houorsble to the ni and to the North and the South. They wer for a Southern deimonstretion, organization, primary meedinge,committees in each congressional district, a Southern orgen,a Southern convention—izreapec- tive of party or president making—uniting whig: democrats, unionists, and nulifiers, with this moito —The unioa of the South for the sake of the ‘the Union.” A Southern conservative organiza- tion—would prodnce a Northern conservative or- | ganization. The country would be saved. Dis. union was scouted. : | During the summer of 1847, Southerners visited | New York and the watering places, and felt the | Northern pulse; and returning in the fall, the de- | monstration began. A few primary meetings were | held in some of the Siates—¢50,000 were subscribed | at New Orleans in a day, and alike sum in an hour at Chatlestcn and Mobile, to establish the Southern organ—extras of Southern journals were cireulated. Unionists, whigs and democrats were the chief | projectors of the movement—a few moderate nulli- fiers were const’ted. Mr. Clay’s Lexington speech lost him the confidence of Southern whigs oa the pending contest—Gen. Taylor was their alterna- tive--he would save the South and the Union. ‘The democrats relied on Gen, Cass with a like hope. When the Southern address was drawa up by a few members of Congrees—all democrats—the whigs yet relied on General Taylor and the whig party. The democrats never did; but some believed that the democracy of the North would be conservative on Southern rights. Whigs | alleged the non-signing democrats cannot now uniie in this Southern movement—wait until their eyes shall be open to their mistake of confiding Southern rights to Gen. Taylor's administration— then they will unite. Some were jealous of nullifi- cation lurking at the bottom, because Mr. Calhoun bad signed the addrese—it might look to his eleva- tion to the presidency. The North would forbear. Atall events, wait fer the passage of the Witinot 1 | South will unite as one man—whigs, democrats, unionists, nullifiers, end all. The reaction began—the Nashville Convention was called. The delegatesfare chiefly unionigts— come whigs, some democrats, a feW nullifiers. | ‘They will remonstrate with the North—modersce | but firm language will be adopted—neither nullifi- ceton ordisunion will preveil—Cley’s compromise, ‘Taylor's neither, will prevail. They will reiterate their allegiance to the Union and to Southern rightsthe Southwest will join the cry. Exten- sion of the Missouri Compromise line of 36 30 to | the Pacific, will be acceptable to Kentucky, Mix | souri, Tennessee, the whole Southwest, and the South. The Southern organ will be established. | The Nashville Convention will seek the preserva- | tion of the Union upon the compromises of the constitution, and the Missouri Compremise, if pos- | sible; but Southern rights they will maintain at | all hozards, and never surrender, if it cost the dis- | solution of the Union. The business interests of New York suffer fiom these Southern movements, Southeraers sry in a voice not to be misteken—touch the pock- ets of the Northerners; if no other argument will reach them, thie last, perchanee, may bring them to reflection and to justice.

Bubbles generally involve those who get them up in serious losses. In this case, a very large sum of money was made by the parties conceracd. Thé War Secretary found it a substantial, tangible reality— something that he could put in his pockets and live upon. Ia one sense, only, can such aa affair be detignated as a bobble, To the people it may be #0, becaner the money which they have entrusted, for enfe keeping, to the directors of the great joint stock company of the United States, taken away without any authority, and converted to private uses, is caleulated to torn out a very considerable bubble.” We should be pleased to know the | bubble eabinet's opinion on this subject. How ie it, Mr. Crawford? —Wauar witt New | Sovrn Canova, amp wer Leaping Mex.— We have hardly finished recording evidences of the profound grief in the Palmetto State, at the loss of her greut statesman, before the intelligence reaches us that his successor in the Senate, end perhaps the next greatest man in that State—Col. Elmore—is elso numbered among the dead. ‘This double ca- lamity will be a severe blow to South Ce retina. She, however, has still some master-spirits in her midst. Formany years, owing te circumstances beyond humen control, Calhoun was the man of South Carclina, He was like the majestic oak we sometimes se¢ in an open field, which overshadowed and absorbed every other tree that attempted to flourich in its neighborhood, and all became stunted | dwarfs, or died.

Is his habits, | and other respects, he resembles Calhoun, He is | a profound thinker, a man of magnificent taleats | and acquirements, a planter, and devoted to H the pursuit of agriculture. We allade to J. H. | Hemmond, formerly Governor of South Caro- | lina, and for eome time a distinguished and able member of Congress. For some years past he has abandoned politics, and devoted him- self exclusiviy to his plantation. He will un- | | quesionably be chosen Senator by the Legis- lature, When they meet. Meanwhile, a Senator ; has to be appointed in the place of the lamented Elmore. There would be so difficulty in selecting asuitable person, were the Governor unaspiring. Unfortunately his, Excellency Governor Seabrook , is anxious to wear the senatori«l robes. He can- | not consistently appoint himself, and he dues not wish to appoint any man who would likely bea formidable candidate against himself before the Legislature? Hence, when Calhoun died, he ten- dered the place to Hamilton, whoin he knew could | Bee get five votes in the State for the meanest | office in it. Next, to old Langdon Cheeves, whom | he knew could not be elected by the Legislature— | then to Col. Elmore, who would not be eandi- | date under any circumstances. What the Governor will do now we cannot imagine. There is ex- | Governor Johneon, a fine old man, who would | not be a rival; and besides, there are R. B. | | i i | | Rhett, and F. W. Pickens, fourth rate men, who would not stand much chance before the Legis- ; lature. Governor Seabrook isa very respectable | planter, who lives in an uncivilized part of the Siate, called Edistoe, where they have a light house. He makes a very excelleat peace Governor; but we are afraid would find himself in deep water , as Senator, and reduce poor South Carolina some | dozen steps down from the great moral power which her great Senators have heretofore given | her juet cause to be proud of. We are curious to | see how the Governor will get out of his quand«ry, | and who, he will appoiat to the vacant Senatorship. j Tum On@anrzation or Txapesmny’s Associa: | Tions.—The movement which has been going on | urnmong the tradesmen of various branches, in this city, for the last three or four monthe, is one of con- | siderable importance to themselves, and, if proper- | ly directed, ita continuance cannot but lead to fa- vorable results. But, from preseat appearances, @ root of evil—an apple of diseord—is y to be cast | into their midst, in the shape of socialism, ae itis , called, though the phenomena whieh distinguish | it would seem to bespeak for it any other name than that ‘The trades meetings were first called because the operatives were convinced that the wages they were receiving for their labor were not an adequate re- , muneration for services rendered. They therefore | met together; and, after consulting with each other, | | formed themselves into societies, and adopted such | | rules as the exigency of the case seemed to de- | | mand. For the most part, the declaratious, or pre- | | amblee, to the constitutions adopted by the new so- cieties, were couched-in terms of the greatest re- | spect towards their employers—the sensible craft men well knowing, and acknowledging, that their own welfare was concomitant with that of the mas ter tradesmen. They therefore did not demand an extravagant advance of wages, nor resolve upon | apy unreasonable coercive measures to gain their | desired ends. The societies were, for the most part, protective and beneticial associations, or, in other words, mutual insurance companies, the cou ditions of membership being, after certain required | qualifications, the payment of a certain respectable subscription, on entering the fine of the sudseribe er, and the further payment of smail sims period- ically. The member, having thus performed hie | part of the contract, the compiny, or society, agreed to insure to him @ sum suificient to save him | from want in ease he should luck employment in | consequence of demanding the standard wages. Thus things were progressing very emooth y, | when some of the Fourierite orators iatraded upon their platforms, and begun to exercise their bale- | ful influence. In some of the socicties, these mis | chief meking, work-hating philosophers, suc | | | ed in meking the honest artizens believe that they had been horribly wronged, and were hike to be more horribly outraged in the future. ‘The re- formers of society were smooth-tengued d-ma- cogues, Who had learned to declan giibly against the ebases of society—who had corefully conned | some subtle, sophistieal, arguments; and who, per- haps, with a narrow-mindedar cular to men of fA uni-topic education, really believed that the working-men were wronged by their employe they made a profit on their labor. vat ithe learning is a dangerous thing,” was the ion of many of the mechanies who thrust the mers from their midst. Their good sense tanght them that the dectrives advenced by the Fourierites were false, olthouch their speakers were not able to cope with them in their sophisti- cu) arguments. The couree, therefore, a one artociationthe bricklayers ant plosterere, | was to deny to the orator of the reform echoota bee par place upon their pletform, where he attempted to speek.

Bat few delegates, even of thowe appointed, will probably | attend, and but little jaterest is minidested ia most of the Southern States, and some of then have | positively refused to have a voice in the proceed-— ings. That it will prove a failure there can be little doubt, and, in the end, prove of more injury than | good to that portion of the Union it was intended | to advance. | FPrmaces in CaLuronsia.—Califoraia, in the firet year ‘of ite existense—for Culifornia ean only be said to exist since the period of the discovery of its gold miner—eould only reckon upoa a very limited number of the fair sex, who inhabited ite golden cities and graced its fertile plains. Ever sinee the magic ery of the existence {of inexhaustible gold mines in California resounded throughout the world, thousands upon thousauds of adventurers, from every quarter of the habitable globe, allured by the weleome sound of its summons, and Jead away by the prorpeets of unheard-of wealth, which their busy imaginetions conjured up in exaggerated form, left with high hopes and expectations, their cheerful homes, snd were walted to the golden regions on | the shores of the Pacific. This vast tide of emigration, however, which has been cénstantly swelling the population of the El Dorado of the West, since the discovery of its rich gokl mines, has been exclusively of the mile por tion of humanity. The long and dangerous pass- age, the uncultivated and barbarous condition of the country, the eoutinual privations, hardships / and toils which are inevitable in an unpeopled re- | | tion frem venturing on such a perilous expedition. | gion, and their ineptitude to the pick and the sho- vel, have all contsibated to deter the femule por- Since, however, the mode of couveyance has been grertly fwcilitaied, and the general condition of the country assuming @ more orderly aspect, we have obesrved the uames of many ladies among the lists ef passengers destined for California. Bat there have been few indeed, and they seem to evince a manifest repugnence to embark for the golden re- gions, for it was with the utmost difficulty that Mra. | Fervham could succeed in inducing haif-a-dozen, and these were “antiques,” to accompany her on her voyage thither. It is true, that every steamer carries 2 few of the fairer sex ; but these are gene- | rally married, who are accompanying their hus- | bands there, or whose husbands have been resi- dent in California for some time. We expect, however, thet spinsters will soon take the road, and cet out on a trip to those fairy regions. They will beable to make their fortune thére, better then they would do here; and besides, their species being few in number, they have every probubility of being caught coon, and returning not only with an iade- pendent fortune, but under the protection ef a lov- ing husband. It is to be wished that a greater number of females would emigrate to Colifornia than has hitherto been the case. Their presence in the state of society, as it must necessarily exist there, would be attended with incalculable results. By their wonderful influence over the sterner sex, they would seften down the rude propensities of his nature: they would thereby introduce order, elevate society, and, in a short time, would cou- vert California from a state of barbarity into a pluce of civilization. They might increase churches and diminish hells. ‘Tue Dramatic Stars iy Town.—Miss Cushman end Miss Davenport having gone to Philadelphia, the theatres are now to be mede attractive by no- velties and stars. Among the latter are Mr. Hud- son and Mr. Buchanan. Mr. Hudson has already performed one week, und will conclude hisengage- ment next Saturday night, when he will laave for England. He is the best representative of the Irish gentleman now upon the stage, while the richness | of his brogue, and the natural exuberance of his epirits, admirably fit him for the personation of the more ludicrous phases of Irish character. He has shown, in the “Knight «f Arva,” and in several other characters, extraordinary talent and accom- plishments. His vocal powers are brought into re- quisition with rare skill; and when he gives us an Irish melody, it is like champagne poured over a rich pudding—a splendid and exhilarating addition to that which was before perfectly delicious. Mr. Hudson’s performances will be fully appreciated this week, by admiring crowds. The Broadway theatre ought not to have a vacant seat. On Monday week, a new candidate from the South will a, he celebrated patron of the drama ia New Orleans. Mr. Buchanan made many | friends as an amateur; but constant practice has now established him as a tragedian. I lis principal forte lies in the loftiest Shaksperian characters, in which he has now no rival. As an American actor, who has devoted years to study, he will create a sensation—there being no little opposition to him, because he has not been brought up ac- cording tojtradition. We are cultivating American actors now, as we do other American productioas ; and we must give Mr. Buct.anan a fair start for the tace. He may be the American tragedian. If he | passes the ordeal in safety, his Southern fame will be annealed and made fire-proof, in spite of the | flaming of other stars. He mast be warmly welcomed at the Broadway theatre. Tux Common Counct ano var Staten Ses- stons.—To-morrow, being the first Monday in June, the Common Council resume their stated | nd continue to eit from day to day, till all the business that has accumulated sinee their last eession is disposed of.
