The first of these is, will this Convention endorse the compromise measures of the last ses- | sion of Congress, or will they pass them by in | silence, which will be equivalent to an expression | of opposition to them; and, secondly, whom will | _. the delegates declare their preference for, as the whig candidate for the Presidoney in the contest | @f1852? We shail soon know what will be done | in reference to both of there matters. gubernatorial chair, Governor Johneton, will be Fe-nominated; that ne reference will be made to the | great question of the day; and that resolutions ex- pressing the preference of the Convention for Ge- | Reral Scott, as the whig candidate for the next Presidency, zre already drawn up, and will be passed. If our-corresponden’ is right in his report, the whigs of Pennsylvania could not adopt a bet- | ter or more efficacious method of distracting the | whig party throughout the country, and of defeating the nominee of the National Convention, to be held in Philadelphia next year. If the Lancaster Con- Yention should be silent on the question of the Com- promise, and should pass the resolutions referred 4, their silence will be taken not only as an indica- tion of their determination to agi-ate the repeal of the Fugitive Slave law, in conjunction with the | abolitionists, free soilers, and Seward whigs of the North, but as an indication that Gen. Seott thinks ae they think, and ie identified with them in thpir movements. @y would cetrange every State couth of Mason & Dizon’s line, from General Scott. Such a result ‘would foliew, asa metter of couree,.and the whigs of Pennsylvania must be as fully eware of itas we ‘re. We-ehall very coon know il about it, how- over.

Besides, by passing such a law as to tie up the hands of those publie officers, will be an admission at once that the majority themselves doubted the constitationality of the bill; it wowd be, as the lawyers say, entering a cognovet. [twas contended, by Mr. Spencer, Mr. Webster, and a few lesser lights, that the bill does net condlict with any of the provisions of the constitution; and this same Senator Bebcock, during the discussion upon it io April, conviueed sixteen Senatore— among them Messrs. Cook, Geddes, Morgaa, and Robinson, who hadrepeatedly expressed denbts— that the bill was in every respect drawn with- in the limits of the constitution. Then why fear having it tested? Why attempt te prevent adjudication wpon it?

A month or two since, a distinguished jurist in Messachusetts decided that the Fugitive Slave law was a constitutional measure. There must be a power independent of all legislative bodies, to revise and correct their errors; otherwice the people would be in constant dread of having in- flicted upon them the most obnoxious laws. As this Canul bill has elicited more diseussion, created more discord, and been resisted with more seul, than any other that the Legislature of this State has ever attempted to force upon the people ; as there are maby millions of canal revenues, and the expenditure of an uptoldamount of money, and the faith of the State, involved in the question whether the law is constitutional—and as the people them- rly equally divided uponit— we are free to declare our opinion that a settlement of the question sbould speedily be made. Let it not be delayed; the people should at once be in- formed of the opinion of the courts.

The exposition has brought outa rejoinder from some one—possibly Professor Gillespie himself—which is anywered by the editor of the Recorder with withwring effe:t. Professor Taylor Lewis bas a finger ia the pic, also, having come to the resoup of Professor Gilles- pie, in one of the weekly literary journals. Thus the matter stands at present. | There are one er two points in this controversy , not likely to be overtooked by the public. The fact that the Harpers should have published, “for | young stu ents in mathematics,” this work by Comte, whe has endeavored to make atheism a ma- terial science—and who cyphers God ou! of existe ence, and all organic and inorganic bodies into ¢ one spontaneously active unity—is not the least re- markable fact. That a professor in Union College ehould have dared to lend his sanction to a work of the kind, is another fact equally remarkable. But the third point is also very significant. How has Professor Taylor Lewis recenciled his conscience to become the champion of a work which excludes God and conscience, immortality and retribution, — from the field of investigation? Two years ago, when Protessor Lewis delivered his long oration be- fore some of our college societies, ke entertained very different views upon French aud German so- clalist free-thinking and atheism. In fuct, he was savagely severe against the whole tribe of atheistic | writers. How is it that he has changed? We shall have to cail for an explanation.

It was but the other night, that a Mr. Jobn Wheeler. from enwich and Liberty streets, beaten until insensible, and then robbed of $55. La consequence of the serious injuries inflicted by the vil- laine, It wae necessary to read Mr. Wheeler to the tos al.

The prisouer on Saturday morning. Was taken before Justice Lothrop by Assistant Cxptain Snodgrass, the evidence taken of Mr. Gorman and his wife, when it appeared that Charles Gannon, the brether. (who, it seems, is one of the assessors of the First ward, residing in Albany street) was iden:ified as the person who also inflicted violence on the complain- ant. Accordingly. the magistrate issued bis warrant for the arrest of Charies Gannon, who was duly taken into curtedy, and conveyed to the Police Court. The ease war heard, and the magistrate, on the evidence adduced, held James Gannon to bail ia the cum of $500 to answer the charge at court, and Charles Gannon was requested to find bail im the sum of £200 to answer the charge like- Wire at court. We tincerely hope that the police of that ward will continue their vi nce in the detection of midnight ruffians, as ® is high time some measures were taken to break up all such gangs of depredators, aud on example made. in order, if possible, to deter others from continuing the violence practised on the peaceable portion of the citizens who are occasionally compelled to pase through the streets. rceny un board the Steamship Cherokee—On Saturday night. a tcbbery was perpetrated on board the steamship Cherokee, lying at the foot of Warren street.

Monpay, June 23-6 P.M There was decidedly a better feeling in the stork market to-day, and the transactions were more of a MONEY speculative character than we have noticed for a lone time. ‘The apprehensions ercated by recent intelligence | from California are gradually disappearing; but th: | eause cannot be 60 eusily removed, ‘The failures whicl. almost daily take place in different sections of the Unior | muy be considered slight indications of the state ov _ | things generally ; but we do not consider them sure | signs of the approach of a revulsion such as we have + | before experienced. In th» midst of the best of times | suspensions are reported; and if we could show the actual condition of the affairs of each of these failures we should, no doubt, be astonished that a collapse was fo long delayed. That tie great body of merchants will be published at half-past 9 o’elock, this morning— | gaye become very much extended and expanded in their affairs, there is not the least doubt; but that they are, as @ body, upen the eve of bankruptey, i: as great an untruth as ever was uttered. In most of the revulsions we have witnessed, the failures were comparatively few; but it must be borne in mind that all are more or lees sufferers, Four or five bundred failures in a city like New York would, perhaps reduce to the verge of bankruptcy double that number who might weather the storm, but little better than a com. plete wreck, ‘This is the effect of a commercial revulsion, and but a stall portion of the distress and desolation iv epreads broadesst in its course, is ever known to the world. Thore whose insolvency is publicly announced are suppoved to be the only sufferers; but, unfortunately uch is not the case, ‘The aggregate number of failures in this city in 1847, did not execed five hundred, and the eflect of even that small number of suspensions compared with the total of mercantile houses at that time in existence, was so disastrous that several year: elapsed before the first symptoms of returning life be- came visible, The fuilures which have already taker place this year, no doubt fell heavily upon those imme- diately connected with them, and may compel others tc ractions in their ro- sources, would have been able to meet punctually ali their payments. In this way difficulties and embarrass ment#accumulate and extend, and the revulsion gain: strength. Confidence between tun and maa is soon destroyed, credit prostiated, and all the evils attending such a state of things, come along in their usual course An ebundance of money, cheap rates of interest, large supplies of specie. will not suffice to strengthen and pre- serve public and private credit.
