Im the recent election of Hamilton Fish, by the Legislature of New York, as United Stat nator for six years from the fourth of March, Seward so- and Seward abolitionism achieved a triumph ever patriv! n, and the constitution. m, the Uu The Union Whig Committee of the city of New | York, and similar committees throughout the State, met with a de in that clection which should arouse them to a sense of the danger with which the prosperity of this great State, and of the whole North, is threatened, and to a sense of the conse- quences to which renewed suc to the Seward so- eialists surely and inevitably tends.

There is abundance of time previous to the next election, within which to perfect the arrangement. Tue CoLorep Convention anv 11s OBSECTS.— It will have been observed from the report in yes- terday’s Herald, that the Colored Convention wtill continues its sittings. The resolution passed at a former meeting, to adjourn sine die, an Friday evening, was rescinded, and an adjournment to Tuesday evening substituted in its stead. ‘The men who take an active part in the proceed- ings are of ull shades of color, from ebony to the eighth degree of black bloed, which is almost lost in the seven-eighths of white. They occupy various positions in life—some are the proprietors of first. rate oyster cellars—some keep intelligence offices, and some have barber shops—some are doctors, and some are clergymen, some are mechanics, some are laborers, aug some are highly respectable boot blacks. The general and ostensible object of the conven- tion is to better the conditien of the colored race, and to elevate them in the scale of humanity. The means proposed are multifarious, embracing & su- perior edueation, the overthrow of policy gambling wad intemperance, agriculture, emigration, mili- tury organization, political relations, social rela- tions, and Mill Pond oysters. It is curious enough that abolition does not appear to be one of the means proposed for accomplishing the desired ob- ject, cither because the leaders know that it is ut- terly impracticable, or feel that the condition of the sluves in the South is enviable compared with that of the majority of the colored citizens of New York. On the contrary, it was peintedly denied at one of the first meetings, that the convention was called for that purpose. The colored men who conduct this convention, so far, show more practical sound sense than the white ubolitionists, from Seward to Garrison. * Captain ” Johnson’s report on military organi- zation is a very funny document, and has no doubt amused our readers ; but it must be recollected that it was indefinitely postponed by the good sense of the convention. On the whole, the documents produced. and the speeches made, are vastly superior to the reports and orations of the wholly head and socialist gatherings, where the most insane fanaticism and rank blasphemy are not only vented, but unani- | mously adopted. The orderly manner, too, in which | thore meetings have bee nhitherto conducted, pre- | sents a remarkable contrast to the riotous assem- | blages of the Women’s Convention in New England, | and of the Ant -y Society held bere last swin- | mer, when Lloyd Garrison & Co. indulged in such ia- | flammatory, blasphemous, anti-Christian and trea- sonable Junguage, as led to breaches of the peace | the breaking up of their meetings. ‘The debate on Friday evening turned chiefly on | the report on se relations, and particularly that part of it that proposes the establishment of a mu- tual savings institute, with Which (when $390 are collected in shaves of $10 exch) it is intended to connect a grocery store in New York; then, as the | establishment grows -trong, to add another in Brooklyn, and a third i. Williamsburgh, besides a ladies’ and children’s furnishing srore, and a coal yard. We should not omit to mention that it was proposed to give two-thirds of the profits, after | paying 7 per cext. interest on the capital, to the | settlers on the Gerritt Smith lands; but a vast rece | of 5,000 feet high, arose to view, and on this rock the | meeting « The security of the bank seemed to | be very much doubted, and, for our part, we think the best and safest bank that could be establish- ed would be a bank of oyste Some of the delegates having the fear of the confidence man of the Tombs, and the numerous confidence men of Wall street before their eyes, seem very unwilling to invest their $10 upon so slight a security as “faith in a whet od or white.

The | colored public appear to be wide awake, and if they | do invest their money, we trust they will keep aa | eye on the funds. Row 1 vue Leotstatrr:.—The recent exposé | of an attempt by certain members of the Legisla- | ture to levy black mail on parties in New York, has created quite a row and commotion ig the Legisla- ture in Albany, as much so as a charge of shot would among a flock of pigeons. In another co- lumn we give the comments of the Albany Atlas and Evening Jowrnal on the ect. It is said that the Anti-Gambling Association of New York has had something to do with the snbject, but how much we are not informed. If the investigation as searching and thorough as it ought to be, we hall have a good deal of fun out of thie black mail We learn that an officer of the Senate was in town y y for witnesses, and that Mr, Suydam has gone to Albany. We also learn that after the exposé, Bull, the Sergeant-at-Arma, pro- | ceeded as fur as Auburn, but has singe returned to e operation. the eapit Sewann verses Fi.cucne—Tuz Next Pers pexcy.—Thuriow Weed’s opposition to the admi- nistration of Mr. Fillm s again awakened bythe | | by certain wealthy merchants and fiaanciers a dl, and to pres | advised aud re- | recent remo and appointinents in this State In fact the Seward dys h New York and New England, are combining in a bitter opposition ty in b tothe present adininistration, with a distinct deel ration in favor of Gen.

If thie rumor is founded on any thing like fact, the new journal will probably be considered the leading organ of Sewardism in the North, in- cluding hoetility to the Fugitive Slave bill, opposi- | tion to the ( measures of lat session, opposition to the administration of Mr. Fillmore, and in favor of Gen.

The smoke and the ‘noise and of the arin —the time is approaching, and the politicians, poli- tigal and party wire-workers are begi om ‘their candidates for the grand C Chase of Attempts have already been made in Various quarters to put forward various juilitary heroes, on both sides. Movements are still in pro- gress, here and there, in favor of Gen. Scott, Gen. Houston, Gen. Cass, Gen. Butler, of Kentucky, and we know not how many more. But as these expe- riments seem to be comfined to particular cliqnes, outside organs, or obscure localities, it is not likely they will have any decisive effect upon the national conventious of either Philadelphia, Baltimore, or Buffalo. A newspaper military nomination is from time to time proposed; but, as it excites neither in- terest nor curiosity, it is generally abandoned the next morning. Military glory is evidently in a lan- guishing condition ;, and to make the matter worse, we have military candidates as plentiful as black- berries. Take, for example, the following list:— Winfield Scott, of New Jersey—whig. Lewis Cass, of Michiguu—demoerat. Sam Houston, of Texas—demoerat. . Wm. 0. Butler, of Kentucky—democrat. . John BE. Wool, of New York—demoerat. ” Gideon J. Pillow, of Tennessoc—democrat. . John A. Quitman, of Mississippi—demoerat. . Jefferson Davis, Mississippi—democrat. . doreph Lune, of India rat. . Porsifer F. Smith, of Louisiana—democrat. Gen. Bennett Riley. of California—whig. Gen, David B. Twiggs, of Goongla—democrat. These are some of the real fighting Generals, who have smelt gunpowder to some purpose. ‘Then we have the Generals of the peace establishment, the Fourth of July Generals, the political and philoso- phical generals, a list, if anything, even more for- midable than the last. Iere they are:— Gen. James Watson Webb, New York—diplomatie can- didate. Gen. George P. Morris, do.—poetical eandidate. on. Jas, Arlington Bennet. Long Iland—independent. H. 8. Foote, Missis+ippi—eom promise. .W. Hf. Chaplin, New York—fugitive candidate, ; Lucretia Mott, Philadelphia—woman’s rights. . Geo, 'T. Downing, New York, (colored) —African rights and choice oysters. ‘Gen4Gil Davis, New York—Coney Island candidate. Gen, Tom Thumb, New York—Burnum’s candidate. This list embraces some very able, capable, ta- Gen. Gen, lented, and distinguished individuals, while most of | the real sulphur and saltpetre Generals, have no | other capital than their military glory. It is their stock in trade for the honors and responsibilities of | the Presidency. And what is this military glory, after all? Reduced to the strict principles of mo- rality, war is but the science of cutting throats by wholesale; and the greatest butcher has always been the greatest hero. The bow-string, the g:l- lows, the guillotine, end in the same result—the de- struction of human life—with this difference, that where, under the civil law, a solitary man and a cri- | mal is executed, whole hecatombs of innocent vic- tims are sacrificed upon the bloody altar of We admit, however, the continued necessity of this barbaric system of international arbitration ; the necessity of a good stock of the supplies and sinews of war always on hand ; the necessity of able ienerals snd brave soldiers; and their duty to malee clean work of the enemy when they come together. But the necessity of a gunpowder candidate for the Presidency, and the policy and expediency of such a candidate, exclusively upon a bombshell and gun- power reputation, are quite another thing. experience in this thing has given the country some ful lessons. It is manifest that hereafter the ‘an people will require something more for the White Louse than the trophies of New Orleans, Tippecanoe, vailing apathy in reference to military candidates, indicates a revolution in the public mind on this im- portant subject. The public interests, the impor- tant position of this country and government before the world, will hardly justify the continuance of the practice of bestowing the White House av a reward for military services. Within the last twenty-five years we have had three exceedingly popular military chieftains ed to the Presi ye Yhen Gen. Jackson was a candidate, Mr. Clay declared that he would sooner Lave “war, pestilence and famine” than a Presi- dent elected upon a mere military reputation. And however satisfuctory the results of the Jackson stration, he certainly, from the disturbance and coufusion which he brought upon the banking, financial, commercial, and general business of the country, created the moet bitter and unrelenting opposition with which any man or any party was ever assailed. When Gen. Harrison was nominated | at Harrisburg, John Tyler wept; yea, he wept | that # mere military candidate should have #aper- veded the statasmen, Henry Clay. Those were prophetic tears; for the results of the adminis tion of Gen, Harrison, though President but « mouth, very clearly betrayed his incapacity. After the nomination of Gen. Taylor, Mr. Webster, in a public speech, declared deliberately, as his opinion, that it was “a nomination not fit to be made.” We thought otherwise; we believed Gen. Taylor would make a good, capable, straight- forward, independent President ; and when the whig convention seconded our uomination, we counted upon the most splendid results. We were wrong. Mr. Webster was right. ‘he results of Gen. Taylor's brief term in office proved him to be the most lamentable and mortifying intellectual failure in the history of the government. Indeed, some superstitious people have declared their belief that his death was Providential, and saved the country from the horrors of dissolution and civil However that may be, while we admit the ae war. honest motives and good intentions of Gen. Tayle bis administra was a failure—a complete a mortifying failure. He was out of his element.

In our own times, Millerism has sent many a rujned intellect to our mad-houses, but not without first assuming the Pope to be antichrist.

The water is very high and threatening at Plaquemine; the current in the bayou running with unprecedented foree ant volume ; so much so, it is said, that where there was formerly bat about 19 feet of water, the depth ie now over 40 feet.

The undersigned is happy to learn that Governor Rosas correctly appreciates the motives that induced the undersigned to offer to General Guido and to his govern- ment his friendly assistance the settlement of any difficulty that might have arged him to ask his passports, and to retire from a post which he had discharged with credit for so many years, Tgnorant as he was of the true causes of the diffieulty between the two governments, the undersigned hoped that the matter might have been arranged in {a manner honorable for both, and under this hope presented him- self to General Guido and offered him, and through him his government, his friendly avsi-tance. ‘The peace and prosperity of beth governments were equally dear to the goverminent which the undersigned has the honor to represent, and if he could have con- tributed to re-establish harmony and friendly sentiments between them, he would not only have discharged an agreeable duty fer himself, but at the same time would have rendered an esseutial service to his goverament. ‘Apart from the grave and important political consider- ations that must arise from the departure of General Guido, the loss of his society and services to the diplo- matic bedy in this court, at the head of which he evi- dently was, would, of itself, have induced the under- im all the assistance im his power, to re- move the necessity of hi departure. ‘The prompt. faithful. and efficient manner in which he discharged all his official obligations, demanded the pro- found rerpect of his brethren, jist his kindness and gentlemanly deportinent in the social circle wou our ad- wiration.

Suxpay, March J0—6 P.M, During the past week, the stock market has not ex~ perienced any material alterations, Prices have beem pretty well maintained; that is, the closing quotations: yerterday were about the sine as those current at the close of the previous week. ‘The fluctuations have, how~ ever, been considerable, and the buils and bears have car- ried on the contest with a great deal of spirit and acti- vity. It will be seen by the reported «ales at the reeond, board. yesterday, that the market was a shade or two better, and that there were indications of a litte more speculation in the leading fuuci We are under the impression that nothing permanent of this kind will be realized until the present stringency in money inatters has passed away; and it is surprising that prices are so well maintained in the face of the efforts made to depress than, and the difficulties experienced in hypothecating tocks of any kind, ‘The banks have extended their dis- count lines to the utmost; more business paper is daily (than they ean provide for, and stock speculators can no longer depend upon these institutions for loans upon fancy stocks, ‘This is, at this moment, particularly unfortunate, and stocks of this class are held in large lots in the street; and without loans upon theni, it will be found very difficult to curry them. ‘The absence of out- side purchasers at this time makes it weigh more heavily upon holders in the street. We have noticed lately a growing dixposition on the part of outside speculators to take hold of the smaller class of fancy stocks—those re- quiring but a small capital to carry in large lots—and the street has been relieved of considerable quantities of those securities, ‘This ix very goud so fur as it goes; but it is the largest class of stoc hose requiring enormous capitals to hold—that outsiders must take out of the street, to give that relief so much desired.

Thé money market at present is affected by a variety of causes, In the first place the bunks have just beeu called upon for their re~ gular quarterly statements, and they have been preparing. their affairs for as favorable a report as possible; in the second place, the payments of ull classes of invertinents during March and the early part of April, are invariably heavier than at any other season, aud this year they have been particularly large, and the banks, in conse- quence of a greater demand upon their deposits, in pro- viding for the enormous amouut of corporation sceuri~ ties put upon the market for sale. have not been able to afford the usual facilities in the emergency; in the third place, the shipments of specie have been ext aud although the reccipts from California have been, since the first of January last, about eight millions of dollars more than the shipments to foreign coua- tries, the feet that wmearly every steamer and packet leaving this port for Europe taking several hundred thousand dollars in «pecia, has had a tendency to tighten the mouey market. Thea things have had an unfavorable influence upon stocks, and have | depressed prices considerably; but we should have had « break-down in the stock market in the absence of the above named causes—perhaps not to the extent realiaed; but the fancies had become so much inflated, the speculations had become so protracted, the outsiders so full of stocks, U their moans, that « It was hastened by several local events, and it has more serious than it otherwise would have been, in consequence of the contragtion in the money market, the result of enumerated eaucet, It must be borne in mind that there has been a depreciation collapse was inevitable | of from ten to twenty per cent. in nearly every faney on the list—that most of them are intrinsically worth what they are now selling at. ‘This is an importan sideration, and should be borne in mind by outsiders generally The annexed statement exhibits the aggregate move- ment of the banks of the United States, according to | returns made nearest to January in each of the past two years, compiled in the office of the Secretary of the Trearury. and presented to Congress near the clovw of the late session ;— Baxxixe Movesests of rae Useren Starve. 1590, Whole number of banks end branches... ... eevee aa Capital paid in Loans and discount.
