The re-election of Stanley, in North Carolina, to Congress, appears to be certain, by an increased majority, which is but ano- ther proof of the strength of the Union cause in the South. Some particulars of a projected railroad jubilee at Boston, and storms, accidents, ete., make | up our telegraphic chapter, for which we refer the reader to another column. The Tehuantepec Affair—The Treaty with | jexico. We publish, to day, a translation of an official | copy, taken from £l Clamor Pullico, a Moexi- | can newspaper, of the Tehuantepec conven tion, concluded on the 23d day of June, 1850, by Don Manuel G. Pedraza on the part of Mexico, and Hon. R. Letcher on the part of the United States, and which has not yet been ratified by the government of Mexico. It will be remem- dered that the grant to Garay, since assigned to the British house of Manning, Melntosh & Co., and by them transferred to Mr. Hargous and his as- sociates, and which the present association claim this convention was intended to confirm, was this spring | expressly declared aull and void by the Congrees of | Mexico. Some diserepancies may possibly be discovered between our translation and the official American vereion of the treaty, as submitted to and as passed upon by the United States Senate, which we shall correct when furnished authentic data; but such dif- ferences, we pret will be chiefly verbal and un- important. We retain our original official copy in Spanish for comparison. The seal of state secre- ey isone of the veriest humbugs in this govern- ment. It seems to be forgotten that this is a go- veroment of the people, and that the fusty prac- tices of the last century, pursued by the monarchi- cal governments of Europe to hood-wink their sub- jects, are not suitable to us. A few days since, oae | of the government organs, speaking of this con- | vention, told us, with solemn gravity and myste- | rious stateliness, that— The cljeet of the treaty was simply to convert a con- tract between the Mexican government end “an indi- Yidual” into a treaty between the two nations, and there- Dy inspire oapitalicts with that confidence against ag- gressions without which it was muy they would be ‘Unwilling to embark in the 4 And it further said— It is understood that a treaty was concluded in Mex. | Sco, containing ample provisions for thie purpose, but that im consequence of rome obseurity in one or two of its Provisicns, it was sent back to Mexico to be amended. It also announced— and the sooner it is done, the better. We predict, ere meny years, that all the daily proceedings of our public servants at Washington will be, by law, daily made public, through « public press at the seat of government, and when it is done the public wilt discover how much humbug, and how little labor and real talent, is used in carrying on the government. What the public want on this subject of the ‘Tehuantepec canal er railroad, is, that authentic copies of all official documents, and in full—not partial and culled extracts, leaving out material matters—should be made. Tho public places little and limited confidence in one-sided statements and labored arguments, made by interested persons to produce desired impressions aud effects on the pub- lic mind, to subserve their own ends. When we dis- cover amy appearance of this by any party, in any- thing, we confess our suspicions are aroused. We cannot receive such statements and arguments from interested sources, however respactable, as by any means reliable testimony. Their interests and feelings warp their judgments. Nay, in othe; cases, we have found translations, in some instances of such loose character as to lead to error, an we prefer to have, when it is practicable, original documents published in full. Tus Increase or Carita, Crimezs—Tue Num- BER OF OrrENDERS IN Parison.—The, publis mind has been shocked by the recent accounts of the pub- lic executions in Maryland, as well as startled by the almost daily record of capital crimes commit. ted throughout the country. It is lamentable to witness the rapid increase of capital offences perpetrated even in this district, and never, to our recollection, has there been so large a number of murders committed within so short a period of each other, as are now exhibited by the criminal calendar. We have at present four criminals convicted of murder under sentence of death, and eight confined inthe Tombs, under in- dictment for murder, awaiting trial. Among the latter number, a female, named Ellen Doyle, stands charged with taking the life of another woman by inflicting a b'ow onthe skull with the leg of an iron pot. The remaining five are men, named Michael Mulvey, for shooting with a pistol a young German, barkeeper in an oyster cellar in Chatham street; Joseph Clark and John D. Brown, for ¥%- ing policeman Gillespie, of the Fourth ward; An- gelo Squarza, an Italian, for stabbing with a knife another Italian,named Alexander Rovelli,at a drink- ing shop in Spruce street; Antone Lopez, a Spanieh sailor, for taking the life of Mishael Fos- ter, another policeman of the Fourth ward, by stabbing with a dirk knife; William Moore, a sailor, for stabbing with a knife another sailor, named William Taborn; and the last, James Sul- livan, for the stabbing and killing of Edward Smith, in Cliff street, the particulars of which will be found elsewhere in this day’s paper. Tke four men now under sentence of death are Henry Carnel, the Swiss who murdered with a dirk knifean old man in Dey street, and who almost tock the lives of the two sons; Aaron B. Stookey, for killing with a knife a negro, named Moon, at the Five Points; James Wall, for killing » man with a knife, in a porter house, in Centre street; and James Clemens, for murder on the high seas. It will be seen that three of the culprits are now under respite, granted by the executive of the State. Clemens has been respited by the Presi- dent of the United States. Thus our readers have aterrible catalogue of crime, perpetrated within the last year, and the majority of the cases within the last two or three months. From all appear- | ances, capital crimes are still on the increase. Now, it is the opinion of many persons well versed n criminal matters, that the fulfilment of our laws It ie alo well known that an amended treaty was con. | is not sufficiently prompt. This has thrown upon eluded. that it was sent here for ratifeation, was ratified our government, and sent back to Mexico for her rat- but Teached there Congress bad ad- And it likewise informed us— As neither of the treaties has been made public we can- not of course speak authoritatively of their contents, dot ft le generally rappored (end we Rave no reason to doubt fact.) that they both aud distinctly Teoogniee the grant to Garay as an ¢: ani valid | tant; in fact, that that grant was the very basis on which they were framed. A careful perusal of this Mexican official copy of the treaty now traaslatod and published by us, does not, in our jadgmert, sustain the statement of the the community a kind of disregard for the admin- istration of criminal justice, and has had a tendency to impress om the minds of those wickedly inclined, that the more daring the act perpetrated in the tak- ‘ng of human life, the better chance is there for escape. It is well known that Carnel, Wall, and Stookey were sentenced to be executed on the second day of May last ; but the law was not vindicated in these cases, in consequence of the interposition of the ex- ecutive clemency, by granting a respite. Whether this act of the Governor is to be considered praise- organ with respect to the positive recognition of Ga- worthy, or beneficial to the public welfare, is a mat- ray’s grant by Mexico. The organ alluded to says | ter of opinion. Certainly it has not added any ter- this was done in both the original and amended con- , Tor to the minds of evil-doers, and it has not added, ventions.

There is one fact clearly believe that she ever intended to foreclose herself | visible—that since the respite of these three men, to an absolute and unconditional acknowledgeme it of that grant as valid and binding and in fall force. | It would have betrayed great weakness and folly or | her to have ratified and confirmed it unqualifiedly, as | a binding contract forever. The question of forfeit- | ure, it seems to us, was left open, even that under | Salas’ decree of Nov. 6, 1846, allowing two years | from that date. If the convention, as altered, con- tains any stipulation to such effect, we trust the or- Ban referred to, will do the public the justice to ob- tain ffom the State Department and publish an au- thentic copy of it, and not content itself with stating what “is understood” and “ generally supposed,” and what it “bas no reason to doubt,” inliea of the naked and honest truth. We are utterly and ineffably disgusted with the humbug and quackery rules of state secrets and diplomacy, tried to be ertablished by politicians | in office at Washington; and we hold that it is best to advise the people of the whole truth at the earliest porsible period. No harm can come from it. Tho policy of this government and its mea- sures, and especially ite diplomatic conduct, be open, above board, frank, and tru:hful pean diplomacy hae been called the art and mys‘ery of lying and deception. Our republican system should be the reverse. “Ask nothing th right, submit to nothing that is wrong.” Our goverpment should never do anything that it is ashamed or afraid to aver and maintain “at all in the modern practical Virginia meaning of the phrase, but what it would have been held fifty years ago, in the “anterrified commonwealth,” to have t. Concealment may be advantageous to the initiated few, especially if Wall street. or Chesnut Street, or State street operations can be effected or affected by anything in a treaty. Folly some- times seeks concealment, though as often the vanity it ie naturally allied to, prompts to self-exposure. Wrong and intrigue always burrow and keep in the dark aslong as they can. Timidity from a want of consciousness of being right, ever skulks; but fair dealing, and truth, and manliness in. variably court the light We are always euspl- | cious when we witness #0 much mystery about mat- ters and things at the village of Washington. When we tee the official journals there, like ancien! ames, “with finger on lips.” trying to assume a mysterious, important and imposing air and de- Meanor—a portentous solemnity, as if they were Pregrant with some vastly momentous State secret that they “eannot, of course, state authoritatively,” we mike up our minds, very soon, that there is © humbug, some foily, or some knavery going on.

It is a union of art for the sake of the union; and the great names which will give lustre to the occasion, need only be cited will be composed. In the Italian Opera department are Angiolina Bosio, | Trofii, Ceroline Vietti, Miss Virginia Whiting, Avogadro, Saivi, Bettini, Lorini, Badiali, Beneventens, Marini, Col- qettl, Arditi, and Max Muretsek, with all the chorur aud orchestra of that. vast company.

The other arrange- ments for the comfcrt of the audience have been most carefully made—and, in darkening the house, so that gas may be burned during the performances, the ventilation | has been attended to most wisely.

It is now becoming almost # daily occurrence to record the sacrifice of human life, perpetrated by the use of the | knife. place, in an affray between two Irishmen, named James | Sullivan and Edward ‘mith, residing at No. 4 Cliff street, in which Sullivan is alleged to have inflicted a stab, or cut, with » knife, im the left groin of Smith, thereby severing the femoral artery, causing death im about fif- teen minutes after by the loss of blood. The circum. | stances attending this melancholy affair, as near a8 | could be ascertained yesterday, subsequent to the Coro- ner’s holding an inquest, are as follows :— James Sullivan, it reems, occupies a rear room on the | second floor of the said premises, with his wife and one child, and Edward Smith, the deceased, was a single man, and boarded with a Mrs. Ferris, in the lower part of the same house. Sullivan had been om « drinking spree, nearly all Saturday wight, and was, between the hours of one and two o'clock, yesterday afternoon, quarreling with his wife, breaking dishes, and otherwise making a great noice. Smith, who heard the disturbance, sup. | powing that great violence was about to be inflicted on the wife, proceeded to Sullivan’s room and interfered to stop the difficulty, and thus protect the wife from apy assault. As soon as he entered the room, words ensued between the deceased and Sullivan, andacon- | fiict took place, and as Smith was much the most power- ful man of the two, in the affray,he threw Sullivan on the floor under him, and a severe struggle ensued between them. Builivan soon feund himself overpowered, and | called for bis wife to astist bim, who turned instantly | against Smith, and went to the aid of her husband; and | whether the knife was given to Sullivan by the wife, or | whether be bad the knife before, does not as yet appear, but by the relief afforded Sullivan by his wife he wasen- abled to recover Limeelf, and is alleged to have inflicted the fatal wound, as already described. The injured man, discovering the wound, from which | the blood flowed profusely, made from the room and ran down stairs to the front sitting room on the lower floor; there he sat down, and soon becoming exhausted by the © loss of blood, fell on the floor, and before medical aid could be proeured he died. The wound is some two inches in length, extending from tke groin dowaward. The ficor and the clothing of deceased were covered with gore, presenting most horrible sight to witness. Information was at once despatched to the Second Ward Police Station, and officers Donnelly, Kline and Sullivan bastened to the scene of the murder, and forth- the use of the knife has not by any means diminish- ed, and the lives of our citizens have not been any | better protected. | Here we have two of our municipal officers killed | within a few weeks of each other, and while in the | diecharge of their duty. Other outrages have been committed on citizens, with knives and dangerous Weapons, whose lives have been saved only by the mere CBance of the occasion, and not, by any means, | from any feeling of mercy on the part of the aseail- ants. It does appear to us, that there is a kind of | epidemic in the recklessness exhibited with res- | pect to buman life, but whether this indiference | shown towards the lives of the peaceable portion of | our citizens can be attributed to the want of fully carrying out the laws, is a grave question, to be con- sidered by those whose duties call them to consider | the subject. There is, however, one thing certaia, | that as it becomes known, notwithstanding men are convicted of foul murders, there are to be found always some philanthropic individuals to seek in their behalf the clemency of the executive, so long will the murderers flourish, and the just sentence of the law will be evaded. | Tue Parsivent’s Tair ro tHe Wire Svt- ruwn —President Fillmore has been making a boli- day, or rather « series of holidays, of this long | interregnum. His trip on our great Erie Railroad wasa nice affair—his trip down in Old Virginia was decidedly comfortable—his excursion in Chesa- peake Bay, on the Golden Gate, wee a handsome thing; but the trip to the Virginia White Sulphur Springs promiees to eclipse them all. We publish to-day a full report from our special correspondent, of this White Sulphur expedition to Winchester, and the departure of the President from that place; and the programme for the resi- due of the journey. From this it is probable the President may be absent from Washington for at least two weeks to come, unless the filiusteros should do eomething to recall him earlier. The whole weight of the government now rests upon the shoulders of Secretary Graham and Postmaster | General Hall. All the rest appear to be looking | after their health, or the elections in the “rural districts.” All right, we suppose, especially the reception of Mr. Fillmore in Virginia. Go aheaa.

There were something like a thousand per sons, of both rexes, who participated in the pleasures of the exeursion. All things went off admirably on board the boat cm the way up the river, and the officers of the Oregon bear testimony that the excursioniats were a very quiet and very respectable perty.

Captain Stevenson, of the Sixteenth ward. on hearing of the riot ctarted from the station house with a reserved force, and when they arrived on the spot of disturbance, a crowd had increased to several hundreds, extending down the avenue to Fit- teenth street. The police, headed by their Captain, went into the crowd, and after a desperate they suc- ceeded in capturing two of the principal rioters, named Daniel McGown and Robert McGowan.

This District, which so long was represented by Henry~ Clay in Congress, has, for the first time, now elected a» democrat—Jobn 0. Breckinridge, who is represented as» | @ gentleman of splendid talents, and estimable private: character, This gave him a great advantege in popu- | larity over Leslie Combs, the whig candidate, who, although be has never been s member of Congress, is: considered a hacknied and worn out politician, however~ much he is esteemed in private life. The Louisville | Journal (whig) says :— We suppore the democrats must be almost as much. astonicbed as the whigs, at veeing Mr. Breckinridge (democrat) elected over General Combs, in the Lexing- | ton District, by ty of about 500, General. Combs was personally disliked by many of the whigs, oe Mn. Brehinevine is personally with men of ties, 'r. Breckinridge is an able man, and only a moderaté- democrat. ‘Lhis Congressional District, when represented by Mr Clay. was composed of the counties of Clark, Fayette and Woedforé, In 1831, Franklin county was added to the District; and, since 1842, it has consisted of Fayette. Bourbon Franklin, Woodford, Jessamine Owen, and* 3 | Scott—Clark county being .transferred to emother Dis- trict. In 1825 Mr, Clay, being appointed Secretary of State, was succeeded, as representative for the district, by Judge Clark, ® persoual friend of Mr. Clay, who, being lected by a majority of 975, it was considered by this test, that the people of Mr. Clay’s district approved of hie courre in voting for John Quincy Adams as President of the United States. ‘The following is the succession of representatives from. the Asbland district :— Representatives.

Quotations for stocks withia the past two weeks have been subject to most extreme fluctuations, and the bulls and bears have both had «. grand opportunity of fleecing each other to their satis- | faction. The decline in stocks was the result of a sudden. contraction in the money market. Large lots of the fancies were in weak hands, and when loans were called | in, holders were compelled to sell at any macrifice. An immense quantity of tock was put upon the market, and. for a time a panic seized upon speculators, The bears increased the excitement as much aa possible. and the depreciation in prices was sufficient to satisfy the Mort sanguine operator for decline, As soon ae quotations bad receded as much as was consi. dered rafe, or as much as the bulls could stand | and fuldl their contracts, the bears commenced a | Fenction From sellers they became buyers, and the | | effect of euch an additien to the mumber of purchasers and decrease in the depressing influence usually brought to bear upon prices, was of course favorable, and an im- pre it full as rapid as the previcus decline w se real~ ized. ‘The bears for a few days run the market up rapidly, and then commenced putting out contracts on time, in | aptheipation of anothes geprypintion, They made quale
