Bighteen Hundred and Fitty, the Amnus | g Mirabl.ts of our Repudlic, @ongress has edjourned, ond the long straggle beiween the statesmen and demagogues of the na- tien is over. Webster, Clay, Case, Dickinson and Foote, in the Senate; and Hiltiard and his coad- and three with are expected this week. The Cam- | denger, | ples a renewal of the slavery agitation, * Hall—Zrmors- | juters in the Llouse, have won the applause and gratitude of their countrymen; while the names of | Seward, Benton, et ic omne genus, have been re- | « y dueed to contempt. It has been a trying ordeal for the reputation and popularity ef public men; and throvgh the seathed but rev » talent and honest patriotism. Most ef the members of both houses have wound wp their political history, and at the earliest occa- wion their constituents will dispense with their further services; while the few really great states- men, who have shone out 80 brilliantly in the con- test, have secured to therselves lasting reputation. It is now a proper time to halt a while, and sur- vey the ground over which Congress and the na- tion have parsed. The public mind has begun to reeover from the frenzy and excitement of the great crisis the whole country can now con- template what has been done ia the past, and look on the future with calmness and philosophy. We move with such fearfully accelerated motion in the United States, thet it is only on the consummation ef some great national measure—the close of a stormy secsion of Congress like the last, the death ofa President like the gallant Taylor, or of anil le Justrious statesman like Calhoun—that we can fiad | : | extinct, asa national party; and therefore it fol- the time to look, or get into an atmosphere clear enowgh to command a broad, far reaching horizon. We have now risen to su sanding on an elevation to which we have been earried by a succession of events, the most start- Jing and solemn that have occurred ia our recent hietery. A consummation like the present could have been brought about only by strange and ua- eommon even’ We shall briefly glance at them We all know full well that as the present Con- gress began to assemble, clouds began to lower ever the capitol. The session opened with omiacus signs. The discordant and antagonistic elements rushed wildly together—and no man could tell how or when these hostile elements would combine, preeipitete, or explode. The first clear develope ment of the real state of feeling among the contend- ing parties and cligues, was made in the long and violent etrugyle to elect a speaker. But even after thie had been done n the bu and, fina general alarm was felt throughout the eouatry forthe safety of the Union. Every new sign only created fresh apprehension. At last, the death of Mr. Calhoun occurred, and there was spe- eulation everywhere on its probable consequences. Parsion began to subside—party spirit lost some of its bitterness—demagogues felt rebuked, and fana- | ticiem gave way to moderation. Atthis moment, | the great men of both parties, in a epirit of candor and patriotism befitting the occasion, met together to | ul Ly | —Rarcrament er tux Ping Derartuant Com- devise some means for saving the State, The Com- mittee of Thirteen was the beginning of a new spirit, and new measures, from which all good citizens borrowed hope. The plan that committee proposed failed at the moment; but the great statesmen of the Senate had rallied around the constitution, | and they brought with them a power too over- whelming to be successfully resisted. Mr. Clay pened the debate; and with matchless ability, and in the generous fraternal epirit he had always showed, proposed the Compromise bill. Soon afier, Mr. Webster brought to the aid of the na- tional party all the power of his vast intellect; and fm an argument of more convincing weight than any of his life, sustained the proposals of the com- mittee. Then came General Cass, the veteran statesman and patriot, and then Mr. Foote and Mr, Diekiason, until the nation believed the cause was gained. At last, however, when the day came for testing the measure, it was defeated But the friends ef the Umon did not despair. They be- lieved they were too strong for demagogues aad dicunionists, although they felt and they knew that | | tion. We do not see how they could do other- | wise. This was @ case to which the technicalities all the weight of the Galphin cabinet was secretly thrown against them. At lest Providence interposed again, and took | | plain man as he is—being a blacksmith—made a away the good acd brave old President. The na- tien gathered around his ashes, and in silence and tears committed them to an honored grave. Mr. Fillmore now showed himself equal to the responsible duties of his new post. The ehoies of his cabinet during the solemn calm which followed the death of Taylor, satisfied the American people that @ man filled the chair of the chief magistracy who loved the whole country, and who would lend all hie aid to carry the republic safely through the danger. Oace more the friends of the Union combined their strength, and came to the rescue. One by one the provisions of the Compromise bill were taken up; and one by one they all passed the Senate. li was a triumph of mederation and patriotism. There was but one eourse left for the House. ‘The representatives did ngt dare to brave public opin: or defy the withering rebuke of their com- ftitwents. They imitated the action of the Senate, and peseed its bills. A shout of joy went up from every portion of the land. The crisis was passed— the republic was safe. The members of this me- morable Congress can now go gladly and cheer- fully to their homes. Wherever they meet their constituents—those of them who have aided in bringing about co glorious a consummation, will be eure of the most cordial and generous greetings. ‘Thus the Congress which, for upwards of eight Months, wae the scene of more that alarmed the eountry than had ever been witnessed there before, at last proved itself worthy of public confidence. It finally accomplished ite duty, and made the year 1850 the moet memorable one in our history wince the adoption of the federal conatitution. Another chepteris no~ closed in our an ee ene mew scenes are opening for the future. obetacle hes beea removed which opposed ro progress of the commonweelth; and we can sow enter opon a new carcer of commercial and politi- aul advancement. Who can tell what the next eet in the arema of eyablican civilization, on this coatincs!, will unfold? a point—and we are | ng fire nothing could pass un- | ‘The Diviston In the Whig Party. It is amusing to read the comments made by the Seward abelition orgens in this State, oa the ge- eestion of forty dele headed by Mr. Daer and Mr. Grarger, from the recent Abe vention acuce. They are iasolent, false, and unwarranted by the factsof the case. There isbut one way in which the conduct ef Seward, Weed, Greeley & Co., fora year or two past, ean be inter- preted; and thet is, it was desigaed to convert the whig party of the North into a geographical, sec- tional faction, to destroy the party, and build on its ruins an abolition faction, embracing as its princi- condemna- tion of the course pursued by Messrs. Clay and Webster during the late session of Congress, and a renewal of the hostility lately existing between the Northern and Southern States. If either the phi- losopher of the Tribune, or Mr. Seward’s organist in Albany, deny that this was their intention, we ean point to their acts as evidence of the falsity of their assertions. But what could be ex; one who said he preferred a dissolu Union to the abandonment of the Wilmot proviso ?" er of another, who defends and advocates the prin- eiple that there is a higher law than the constitu- tion? There is no prospect, however, that these aboli- tien factionists will succeed in their base attempt “a Punvonwaseas Arren- | '0 force such a disorganizer as Seward down the | throats of the whig party, whether they will | or not, or induce the national whigs of this | State to recommence the slavery agitation, and | condemn such patriots as Henry Clay and | Daniel Webster, who, atthe eminent risk of self- sacrifice, stood by their country in the hour of its and defended the constitution from the as saults of its enemies. The Whig General Com- | mittee of this city, have, in the most unequivocal and distinct manner, and in terms that cannot be misunderstood, repudiated and disavowed the | action of the majority of the Syracuse Convention, | end have appointed a day for the election of dele- ates to the Convention of National Whigs, which is to meet on the nineteenth of this moath. Such | & proceeding is worthy of the conservative whigs | of the commercial metropolis. Too happy are they | at the passage of the compromise bills, to reeom- | mence the agitatien of the slavery question, to | subserve the purposes of a clique of demagogues whose determination appears to be to rule or ruin the whig party and to embroil different sections of the country ia a state of hostility. The whig party, heretofore, has been national in its views and pria- ciples; and although a large portion of them are in favor of the non-extension of slavery to free terri- | tory, they detest from their innermost hearts all demagoguism and factionism for sectional pur- | poses. ‘The whig party has now to go through a severe and trying ordeal. It has tobe purged and purified of the demagoguism and ebolitionism which have crept into it within a few years, and to be relieved of the incubus which Seward, Weed, Greeley & Co. have placed upon its energies. It must arise in its might, and shake off those agitators and dema- gogues, or be forever in a disgraceful minority, not only in this State, but throughout the whole country. The good work of purifica- tion has been commenced in New York, and it is to be hoped that it will be followed up | in every part of the State. With such a platform of principles as that formed by the abolition whig convention in Syracuse, the whig party becomes lows that if they wish to preserve their existence, they must upset and repudiate it at the earliest pos- sible moment. The eyes of the rest of the couatry | are intently directed towards New York. An attempt is being made by the Seward organs to wheedle the whigs into the support of the nomi- nations of the abolition convention, because they were made previous to the adoption of the aboli- tion platform and the passage of the obnoxious re- solutions exdorsing the demagouge Seward, and epening the way for a renewal of the slavery agita- tion, We trust the trick will not be allowed to succeed. Mr. Hunt and the other nominees may be all good men; but, emaxating as they do, from that convention, they should resign, and if | they do not, they too, must be repudiated. They cannot get rid of the odor attached to them from having been nominated by that convention with- ho progress seemed to be made | se of Congress for months together; | | of having three or four ringers to each tower, in- | stances have occurred where there were but two, cut expressly repudiating the platform issued after their nomination; end the most effectual way of doing that is to resign, and decline to be candidates under such circumstances. We are satisfied that this is the view taken of the matter by all the national whigs in this region; not that they have any ob- jections to them personally, but to rebuke ina pro- per and forcible manner the insolent attempt to fasten Sewardism, abolitionism and socialism on their party, as part of its principles.

The Fourth ward, as far as the census has been taken, exhibits en unexpeetedly large in- crease, two of the four districts showing a popula- tion of 14,500, and the indications ure that the total population of the ward will be over 25,000, against 15,770 in 1840, and 21,000, the pspulation in 1343. This, it will be remembered, is one of the lower wardz, where but few new buildings have beea erected within the last five years. The following shows the number of buildings erected in the eity for the last ten years, in two periods of five years each :— New buildings. 850 Total in 5 years 5216 8622 The population of the city in 1819, was 312,852; and in 1845, it was 371,223.

The same proportion of increase to the number of buildings erected during the last five years, would make the present population of Total in 5 years. . the city about 470,000. [tis probably more, how- ever, in consequence of the great numbers of foreigners located in the lower wards, in the old buildings. The population of the Tenth ward is 23,300; in 1845 it was 20,993—increase in five years, 5,307. There have been but very few buildings erected in this ward for the last five years. Mr. Barnard and his assistant took the census of the ward in 24 days—a remarkable instance of industrious appli- cation, which is well worthy of imitation by the assistant marshals of other wards. The following is the census of the Twelfth waid:—Inhabitants, 10,796; houses, 1,095; fami- lies, 1,839; deaths during the lust year, 1,500. The Nineteenth ward has been get off from the Twelfth ward.

It was at once seen, by the Fire Department committee, that the com- mittee of the Common Council tried to stave off the investigation, by bringing certain abstract rules to bear upon it; and the result was that they re- tired, and refused to countenance such a proceed- ing. The conclusion, therefore, is, that the charges which Mr. Carson made against the Com- mon Council must be taken as proved; that the Common Council are guilty of all that has been at the interests of the City and of the Fire Department have been outrageously neglect- ed, if pot abused; and that Mr. Carson maintains, and bas custained, the position which he first as sumed on this important question.

Our next advices from San Francisco will be up to the lst of September, There have been, withia the past two or three weeks, large purchases of the stock of the Morris Canal Com pany, and the parties interested have played the game eo ekilfully, and have operated so quietly, that they have absorbed most of the floating shares without cre- ating any excitement, or any important improvement in prices, A very great change has taken place inthe finaneial affairs of this company, and arrazgements have been made for placing the canal ina position to a ount ofbusiness that may offer. Bince 1346, the increase in the receipts of the company, with the present limited ability to earry freight, (owing to the inclined plains not being sufficient to conve; boat eontaining more than thirty toms of coal, or other freight.) bas been thirty-three per cent per year. In 1849, the reeeipte were $100,000. This year they will be $153,000—a rufficient sum to pay the expenses of working the entire line of the canal, and leave $73,000 to be dispored of as the directors way see fit. This emr- plus will pay the entire interest onthe debt at seven per cent, and leave $25,000 surplus to the stockhold- ers. This result will be deemed entirely satisfactory, when it isknown and understood that the asltera- tion of the plains—similar to that one which has been in operation now)for two years—will be made and eom- pleted by March, 1851. or rather at th yning of the canal next spring. The money for such alteration has been subscribed in the form of a preferred stock, and subject to such calls asthe company may make. The interest on the bonds of the company has been paid to 1851, leaving the company free from all embarrass. ment until the opening of the canal in 1861, when the mort satisfactory results are anticipated by persons fully competent to judge, and who are mot sanguine men, ‘The alteration of the plains will enable the com- pany to pass, through the entire line of canal, a se ty-tom boat; or, rather, they will then be enabled to take the Lebigh Company's boats, at the terminus of that company's canal, and pass them to Jersey City, without the loss of tranrhipment of coal. By this ar- rangement, the Morris canal will bs enabled to pass down 300,000 to 400,000 tons of coal per season. In ad- dition to this, it is estimated that at least 100,000 tons of other matter will pass through—giring @ ton- nage of about 600,000 tons. This will give the company $450 000. After deducting the expenses, $00,- 00—for it will cost no more to pass 600,000 tons than it does 100,000 tons, as the same locks and the sams at- tendance is necessary for the one asthe other —and ia- terest, $75,000, there will be left $816,000 for the stock- bolders in 1861, Thi the enpital of 40,000 shares, or $4,000,000, is nearly eight dollars a share on the one hundred dollar stock; or forty per cent on the stock now at eighteen deliars, the present price. The entire line of the canal will be in operation ia 1851, including the section from Newark to Jersey City, it that time, will be in thorough repair and na- vigable order.
