She will probably | bring thirteen days later news from California, as a eteamer wasto have left San Francisco, on the 1st ult., for Panama. Telegraphic Sum The most important item of intelligence that we received by telegraph last evening, are some par- tial returns from North Carohna, of the election | which took place in that State on the first of this | month. It is impossible at present to know ac- curately who has been returned for Governor, but according to appearances thus far, the whigs have Jost a great deal of their strength. Notwithstand- ing that North Carolina has been for a great num- ber of years considered the firmest and staunchest of the whig States, it would not surprise us much if the democratic Governor has been elected. The Southern States are loving confifence in the whigs, im consequence of their connection with slavery. | ‘When such demagogues as Seward aspire to be its leaders, it is time for the South to ponder upon the prospect before them. With the exception of the barnburners in this State, the democratic party are sound on that subject, and are willing to abide by the compromises of the constitution. We shall have full returns in a day or two from North Ca- rolina, and we will publish them at the earliest moment. ary. @he French Republic—Popular Suffrage and the Press, Itis charged against France, that she is only nominally a republic—that the people are ruled by the bayonet—that Louis Napoleon, instead of being the servant of the people, is their master and tyrant —that the National Assembly have recently passed alaw depriving @ great number of the people of the right of suflrage guaranteed to them by the con- stitution—that there is no freedom of the press there— that’ we find (the people of France gained nothing by the revolution which deposed Louis Philippe, except a change of masters—and that they have as few if not fewer political rights and privi- leges, under the new régime, than they had under the old. There is a great deal of truth in these remarks; but before any sweeping denunciation of the Na- tional Assembly, or of the President of France, is indulged in, it would be well to inquire, first, whether the curtailment of the right of suffrage, to acertain extent, and the gagging of the press, were necessary for the existence of the government; and secondly, whether there exist any means by which these measures caw be altered or amended hereaf- ter, when that necessity ceases tofoperate.{With all our partiality for the greatest liberty, for universal suffrage, and an untrammelled and independent press, we are free to confess that for those measures —the curtailment of the elective franchise, there was a good deal of excuse; and for the other, the restriction of the freedom of the press, at least some paltiation. In pronouncing an opinion on measures *, We must recollect that a vast des us from that country—that meny of us know nothing of it, except from our reading, and that the ideas of the masses of the people of France on republicanism, how- ever earnestly they may desire liberty, are very loose; and that what they call freedom, we would term licentiousness. Freedom from restraint of all kinds is their imeginary liberty, the freedom which is advocated by Ledru Rollin and his com- peers. If the French people had a proper apprecia- tion of what freedom really is, aud if they were as capable of understanding and practising it as the Americans are, it would be quite a different mat- ter. We should then say that any attempt to abridge the right of suffrage or the freedom of the prees, ought not to be tolerated for an hour, and that all who proposed or advocated such measures, should be hurled to destruction. Bat it cannot be denied that a very large portion of the people of Franee, especially the inhabitants of the large ci- ties, are ignorant and degraded; that their minds have been poisoned and corrupted by socialists, and that this class entertain no other idea of freedom, but liberty to indulge their passions and propensities, | ‘aud that if they were at any time to get the upper hand, society would be at an end, aad a state of anarchy, dreadfalto contemplate, would be the im- mediate and melanchely result. It is that class of the people who are most affected by the electoral | Jaw which has recently passed, and it was to ex- | clade them that it was proposed and acted upon. Outside of the large cities its effects will be searce- ly feit, tor every farmer, no matier how emall a patch of land he has, will be entitled to vote as be- fore. It will deprive only the floating, un- settled and turbulent socialists of Paris, Lyons, Havre, and other ci and towns—men with- | space out character, reputation or meane--instru- | ments in the hands of designing and ambitious | demagogues—it will deprive only this class of people of any hand in formiag the goverament or making the laws. Both of these measures may be traced directly upto the conduct of the socialists | menner in which the affairs of the people are con- evil as for good, and 1 it was used in France to the detriment of seciety, as is alleged, it was jus- tifiable to confine it to certain limits. {n the United States, in consequence of the intelligence of the people, the press is incapable of doing much harm, but the case is quite different in France. It is for the people of the Freach Republic to ad- judicate on these measures, and to approve or cen- sure them and their authors, as they may think | proper. The great bulk of them can still exercise | the right of voting, for it is only the floating and unsettled part of the population that are affected by the new law. At the next Presidential election, they will have the power of passing judgment on the party who passed them, as well as on Louis Napoleon, the President, who approved of them. All we mean to say is, that we must not judge France, in regard to these measures, as we would the United States, for the reasons we have given. What might be palliated or excused in one coun- try, would not be tolerated for a moment in the other. When the people of France become more enlightened than they are, aad know a little more about real liberty than they do, and not until then, ought we to institute a comparison between them and the people of the American republic. ‘Tnx Exection in Missouri —The great contest in Missouri comes off to-day, and will conclude the most spirited campaign ever known in that State. The principal point to be gained is the | election of the Legislature, upon which will de- volve the duty of appointing a Senator in Congress to supply the place of the Hon. Thomas H. Ben- ton. There ere eight members of the Senate helding over, which leaves twenty-two members to be elected. In three districts only, about one- half have candidates favorable to the re-election of Colonel Benton, while in all of them are candi- dates pledged ‘against him. Should the anti-Ben- ton faction and whigs together, succeed in half those distriets where Benton candidates are run- ning, the return of Col. B. to the Senate will be morally impossible. In the House of Representatives, there is every probability that the whigs will have a decided ma- jority, as well asin the Senate, which will give a whig nator from that State. Hon. Edmond Bates is the candidate of the whigs, and his pros- pect of an election will, in a great measure, ac- count for his refusal of a place in the cabinet. Mr. Tux Austrian Prorest.—We are informed by the latest advices from Europe, of some very strange developements, said to have been made re- specting the diplomatic negotiations of our cabinet, at Washington, during the late Hungarian revolut- ion. It is well known that our government had em- ployed an agent, at the time of the insurrection | in Hungary, for the purpose of entering into negoti- ations with the Hungarian government, and of no- tifying to the same, the intention, on our part, of recognizing the independence of Hungary (s 800n | as it would become evident that she was able to sustain herself in the conflict in which she was engeged with Austria. Some very cusious official documents have now been published in the German papers, from which it would appear that our government had taken much more decided steps in this matter than Aus- tria, under the circumstances, might have thought proper. The consequence.of this has been, that a note has now been addressed by the cabinet of Vi- enna to our government, in which the former protests against the hostile conduct pursued by the latter in this aflair, and declares, that such conduct is wholly unjustifiable, and opposed to the laws of nations. This reproof, in the form it is said to come, from a government like that of Austria, which has shown itself alike void of every feeling of huma- nity, justice, or regerd for the laws of nations, in the late Hungarian revolution, and which, by call- ing in the aid of the Cossacks, has nearly plunged the whole of Europe into despotism and barbarism, we regard as a perfectly intolerable insult to us. We cannot, if this protest of Austria against the sympathies manifested by our people and govern- ment in behalf of Hungary, be entered in the man- ner it is said to be, sufficiently express our indig- nation at the haughtiness with which such a re- buke can be uttered on her part. We have quietly looked on while the noble Hungarians have been slaughtered in the cause of liberty by the hirelings of despotism. We have seen a whole nation dragged to the scaflold and the dungeon—and we have not protested, in the name of justice or hu- manity, against thefenormities committed by the Austrian government. And now, as if to mock us, that very government enters a protest against the conduct of our cabinet at Washington. We trust that our government will kaow how to treat this matter, so as to preserve the dignity of this country. If we were to pocket the shadow of B. is strongly tinctured with free-soilism, as is the whig party generally, about St. Louis, and that may be an obstacle with the members from the interior, where that principle has very few advo- cates. Judge Napton is the leading spirit of the anti-Benton faction, but there is very little pro- bability of his success. The Congressional canvass is very spirited, and will probably end in the election of four out of the five whig members. The following is a list of the candidates:— . Chas. Bowman, J. . Sami. H. Woodson. J. In the second district, where the Benton faction have no candidate, there is but very little doubt a democrat will be elected; but innone of the others is there a probable prospect of success. In the pre- sidential election of 1848, there were polled in the State, 82,810 votes, of which the democrats had a majority of only about three thousand. The emi- gration to California, from the State, will very ma- terially decrease the vote, and as the major part of the emigration has been from the interior and western counties, where the democrats were far the stronger, under the old party lines, it is proba- ble the democratic vote will fall off more in propor+ tion than the whig vote. We shall begin to receive the returns at once, and in a few days shall knowenough to speak confidently of the result, of which our readers shall be duly apprised. ‘Tur Inisn Fuxn.—It has been intimated that the Trish fund, which was collected in the United States, and deposited for safe keeping in the hands of Mr. Robert Emmett, of this city, ought to be applied to the purchase of western lands, for the benefit of the poor Irish who are coming to the United States ia such great numbers. This money was raised for the purpose of assisting the people of Ireland in their effort to procure their indepen- dence ; but, inasmuch as the effort was not made, the money has consequently remained in Mr. Em- mett’s poesession since its collection. We like the suggestion to expend these funds in purchasing land. A large tract of land could be obtained, which, divided into small parcels of, say forty acres, would provide a great many families with homes, and render them comfortable. A proper discrummation should be made as to who should be benefitted by it, as it would be unfair to give land to any but such as are unable to purchase with their own means. What do the Irish com- mittee say to this proposition? There is, at all events, no use in having the money lying idle, when ro much good might be done with it. Come, gentlemen, speak out, and let us hear what you have to say on the subject. Tur Croton Warer Renrs.—There is a great deal of doubt in the minds of our citizeas whether there can be any collection of water rents until | § the first day of May next. The authority to col- | lect is derived from en act of the Legislature, passed on the 1th of April, 1849, entitled “An act to create the Croton Aqueduct Department in the city of New York. That act recites as follows, in section 28:— For the collcetion of the water rents to be imposed by virtue cf this act, it shell tate effect on the frst day of May, in the year after that in wi mon Council determines to carry its provisions into eflcct, end for the transmutation of the unpaid rents into a direct tax on the description of buildings to which they may be made to apply by ordinance of the Common Couneil See. 20. This act shail take effect on the firet diy of May in the year following that in which the said rents become payable Inasmuch, therefore, as the Common Council have not determined to carry the provisions of said act into effect, by any other act or ordinance than by the ordinance entitled “ An ordinance establish- ing a scale of water rents,” which was actually approved by the Mayor on the first day of May, 1550, it is a matter of doubt whether the water rents can be legally collected before the firet of Mey, 1951. This is a sample of the blunderiag themselves Sut for the celebrated insurrection of | , Jane, and the various attempts at insurrection that | *%Cte4 by the authorities, have since been made, as well as the dangerous Tur Lapors or tur Crry end anarchieal doctrines which the socialists noon, the City Fathers resume their labors. It is enterteim on the sebjects of government and liberty, | said they will only sit for three days. We hope the resetion inthe public miod, to whieh those | they will devote at least one of these days to the measures owe their birth, would never have taken place. The socialists wanted to have everything after their own fashion, and according to the dic- | tates of their ambitious | 2. The consequence wae, the rest of the community willingly acqui- | esced in stringent measures te render them harm- Jese. There is, therefore, some excuse for depriv- | ing such men of the right of suffrage, for they | would use it, not for the furtherance of good ye | ernment, bat for the purpose of elevating to ¢ 3 | their leaders, whose principles are diametrically | opposed to all’ government, and who, if they got | into power, even in this country, would destroy all government, and all law, and bring about a state of anarchy and chaos, which might last for an age In regard to abridging the freedom of the press, } there may, on similar grounds, be some palliation for the measure just passed. The socialist news. | pepers were engaged in the work of propagating | | important eubject of the purification of the city. A short time ago, we were told by one of the corpo- ration papers that the city never was so clean as then. Now, that very journal and two others are out in condemnation against the City Fathers. Public opiaion, through the revelations made in the columns of the Merald, has coerced them to follew it; and there is some chance that the same public opinion will bring our Aldermen to their senses, though it must be confessed they are a very obtuse set of individuals. We shall wait, watch, and eee, and the public shall know result. Coxgarss, any THe Trrerroniat, Qresrios.— The territorial question will undo: btedly come ap before both houses of Congress to-day, and be de« bated with renewed energy and vigor. There isa good deal of interest manifested in the character and nature of the bill which Mr. Pearce, of Mary- an irsult from a government like that of Austria, it would indeed be a greater triumph for the latter than any it has yet gained in its career of despo- tism. We are not as yetin possession of full informa- tion on this subject, but will seek to obtain some further light in regard to it. The newspapers con- tain no connected account relative to the same. The Reichszeitung, a well informed journal, says that the protest closes in the following manner:— “The Austrian government is not insensible to such hostile measures as have been adopted by the government of the United States, but it attaches no more importance to them than they really de- serve.” Marine Affairs.

Resolved, That cach trade elect three delegates, to form committee from the whole number thereof, to state ovr demands and claims, and lay them before the public. 4. Resolved, That all the delegates shall organize their reveral trades, and shall be ready. to a man, at the call of the committee, at any moment required. 4 Resolved, That all the members of the different {raves must eubmit to the resolutions of the majority, and obey them as required. 6.
