Whe Freshest News. @ax readers will find under our telegraphic head ‘the concluding proceedings ef the Anti-Rent Con- yeauon, which has been in session in Albany for some days past. [t will be seen that they have passed a series of resolutions of the regular social- it stamp. These resolutions are quite characte- Bistic in their way. While declaring unqualified Respect 2nd obedience to the constitution and the Jews, the aati-renters also say they will accept of mothing else than the absolute ownership in fee ot the soil cultivated and improved by their labor. This is consistency with a vengeance ; but it @ of the socialist school, and perfectly in unison ‘with the doctrines of these modern reformers aad @emagogues. They also resolved that the national Jand reformers, or vote yourself a farm gentry, are ‘one at heart and in principle, and therefore recom- mend the latter to support the anti-rent ticket. We have no doubt that the two organizations | eptertain very similar views, because they are ealy ofishoots of that socialist movement in this State ond the North which is gnawing at the vitals ef society, and threatening to precipitate us into disorder, civil war,end anarchy. They should, however, have goue a step further. They should have faced the music at once, and declared that anti rentiom wee identical wtth Seward socialism, with Weed and Greeley-ism, and that the aboli- ton and socialist whigs should likewise support theis tickets. They will come to this soun.

For President, WILLIAM H. SEWABD, (white man). For Vice-President, FREDERICK DOUGLAS, (bleck man). In accordance with the signe of the times, and the tendency of the course of the abolition whigs, we have hoisted the na es of the candidates who will, in all probabihty, be nom nated one of these days by the abolition whigs of New York and the North, at the next election, for the Presidency and Vice-Presidency. We have not hoisted them, as political editors do, exactly with the view of supporting theee distinguished statesmen, black or while; just the reverse. We shall oppose their doctrines, their influence, their power, and their election, to the best of our ability, now, henceforth, and for ever. Abolitionism and socialism are both now inden- | tified, under the auepices of Seward, with the whig | party in New York, and we shal! discuss them at yength during the canvass and contest that are be- fore us. In Europe, European socialism destroyed the prospects of a sensible republic in France, ia Crermany, and in ltaly; and, by the ganization, and ultraiem, and immorality, and irreligi and wickedness of their advocates, the opponents of free government re-established military despotisms in those nations, of a stronger and firmer character | then any which previously ruled in that quarter of | the world. American socialiam, now in its incep- tion, now in its first movements, under the guidance of William H. Seward, the socialist caudidate for the Presidency, and Fred. Douglas, colored man, their candadate for the Vice-Presideacy, may pro- its resulta, perhaps five, ten, fifteen, or twenty years, but its political consequences will be pre- cisely the same on this continent as those of Euro- pean sociahsm in Europe—the disruption of the great Union republic ef the United States, and the erection of military despotisms all over the free States, and one great one for the South. The anti-slavery element, the leading principle of Seward’s socialism, is slowly but surely underm ing the whole North, corrupting public opinion, aud destroy ing the veneration which has been felt for half @ century for the constitution; is over-riding all conetitutional scruples; is proceeding with a pace as certain as the tide rises and time flies, in driving the Southern States into secession and dis- union, and to cover the whole continent with di. turbance, disorder, civil war, and military des- potiems. William H. Seward, the political exponent ot this principle in the North, is the leader, and a very powerful and influential leader, of this party, and their chosen instrument, to carry out their views and produce these re- sults. He is assisted by able, unscrupulous, ta- jented, end reckless men, in the pulpit as well as out of it, in the newspaper press and at public meet- inge; and he even makes the President of the United States and his whole cabinet, from their moral imbecility, subservient to his wishes, and aiders »n his designs. Thurlow Weed, James Watson Webb, and Horace Greeley, with all their aseociates, and the several journals of which they are the reputed conductors, are more or less engeged and pledged to him in some way; although some of them, from mental incapa- city or vanity, may not see the results which such a movement, conducted on such principles, must lead to in the politics of this unhappy nation. William H. Seward, the great American social- jst, and representative of aboiitionism in its first and last phases. most efficient politicians that ever arose in this State. Wuhout the virtues of John Jay, or Alex- ander Hamilton, of the revolution, he has nearly all their talent, combined with the recklessness and tact of A@ron Burr, a combination which has already cuperseded the fame ot De Witt Clinton, or the yolitical sagacity of Martin Van Buren. Seward has carried the Governor and Senator in this State; and, unless in the next etection, the in- telligence, the intellect, and patriotism of every sensible men, from Buffalo to New York, be | awakened to the crisis, the foundation will be laid, by another popular victory of the abolitionists, for the utter and positive aliena- tion of the South from the North, for the de- | struction of this Union, and the total annihilati of the prosperity and commercial wealth of this | our canals and railroads, East and West. What have the silver greys done? They have exhibited | deploreble weakness, imbecility, and folly. Whar have the upien committees accomplished? They | have collected funds, published epeeches, and made themselves ridiculous by their imbeeility in a va- riety of weys. It is now time for the inteliect and intelligence of this metropolis, and of every com- merei«! village of this Siate, to bethink themselves of the situation of this republic, the extraordinary progress of William H. Seward, and the dangerous movements cf the secialists. Wake up, for we are jn the beginning of a great cempaiga, which will last for years, and which will end, either in the triumph of the Usion and the constitution, or the erection of military despotism over its remains | Cavant Last—Triat ann Conviction or | Wrixes, tre Stoor-Prozon Eprron, in oven pepsie.— Wilkes, the stool-pigeon edi'or, is caught at last. The Polwe Gazette seems to be following in the wake of Ned Buntiine’s Own; aliboagh the editor of the latter sheet, with some amiable points of character about him, was inore sinned against then sinning in the misfortunes which overtook him. Wilkes was tried within the last two or three days, on an indictment found against him | for publishing a libel on Mr. Jordan, late Attorney neral of this State. This lidel Vv out of some transactions and trials connected with a certain al set of speculators, calied the Kidd Salvage Com. | sad thotaeeeesas ket teen paoy. Th id Company was a spurious sp*cula- tion. The original parties composing it got at log- getheads among themeelves, went before court and grand juries, had indictmente found, and com menced civil actions against each other. la the course of his duty, Mr. Jordan was called upon to try some of these indictments, and, as usual, he per- formed hia part without ering, aad without reproach. The delinquent speculators, in order to protcet themee!ves, induced the Polure Gazette to take a particular side, and, in prosecuting that pur- i bel was written blished Wilkes, the great stool-pige Thisie a brief view of the whole case In another columa, our reaters will lind a report of the very admirable char ot Judge Barculo im the case, a charge which gives an exposition of the law of libel, the duties of the free pr and the rights of judges and juries, in a clearer and more emphatic maaner than apy that was previously presented to the community. Some of the views of t enlightened Poughkeep- sie judg altogether diflerent from those ro- cently promulgated by Judge Greenwood, of | Brooklyn; but we do not think, although Judge Creenwood, of the neighboring city, may differ in opinion on certain pointe with the Ponghkeepsie | judge, that (herefore the opinions of the latter are | or high inteliigeace. We rather think, however, | that the able judge in Brooklyn might add a new pinnacle to his pile of legal learning, if he weve to study with care the charge of Judge Barculo, aad treasure up his points in the most revemtive corners of his memory We are sorry for George Wilkes. Fora long time he hae been in the habit of saying, what he thoveht, very hard th gainst thie journal and jte editor; but still we feel sorry for the man, al- though hie misfortunes are the consequences of his own silliness and folly.

Under the influence of Wamer, @ stool pigeon lawyer, who has run away; of One-eyed Thompson, a criminal of years standing, who got cornered, and destroyed his ewo exis- tence; and of various other disreputable and crimi- nal parties; some of the most atrocious acts were committed aginst innocent parties, that were ever perpetrated in any civilized community. We allude particularly te the famousjtorpedo charge, and va- rious other charges, against the [rurys, all of | which have been swept away by the promulgation of truth and the triumph of justice. We may allude also to the persecution of James Arlington | Bennet—the charges of forgery and fraud, and | almost murder, that were mede against him through | the same channel, every one of which was manu- factvred by the assistance of One-eyed Thompson and his fellow aveociates, acting under the influ- ence of the Police Gazette. ‘Thus begins the reaction, founded on justice aod | innecence, and thus it will continue until the orig + nators and perpetrators of these ruinous stool-pigeon conspiracies, which every now and then startled | the community within the last few years, shall be ali scattered to the winds. Wilkes will retura to this cily to stand more triels for libel; for dozens and dozens of them are staring him in the face.
