Summary of this Morning’s News. Tho learned, classical and instructive historical Jeeturo of Mr. Wobdstor at Niblo’e, last night, forms a porticularly attractive feature of this morning’s Hsrap—attractive aliko to the patriot, the scholar and the stzdent. It ise highly finished and profound analytis of the philosophy of ancient history and historians, turned in a masterly man- mer, as £0 much matter of past experience, for the present and future teaching of this nation, and of all nations. To the scholar in history, and to the studcnt in the morals of history, however, this ad- dress will afford the most delightful peru We eommerd it toall. How far it will contribute to advance the prospects of Mr. Webstor for the Presidency, is a question which must be left for | solution to the Historical Society. ‘The various preceedings in and near this city, yesterday, in commemoration of the birth-day of | Pater Parrix, aro also given in our columne in fe civie and military, old soldiers and young | soldiers, official and unofficial. The Heratp of | this morning is asothor of the most striking illus- tratiors of what can be accomplished for two conta, by a proper combination of capital, tact, talent, sye'cm, and enterprise, and a universal circulation: Tho rows from Washington discloses a new movenient on the democratic chess board. Buchanan appears to be looking up. Tho free soilers will give them all plenty of trouble before the gamo is | ever. It begins to be interesting, and there will be more sport in a month or two. Among the numerous petitions presented to the United Stetes Senate yesterday, was ono purporting to be signed by seven hundred citizens of Pitteburg, in favor of Koseuth’s doctrine. It is probable that the Long correspondenco will havea tendency to elear the smoko and soot from the eyes of these worthy inhabitants of the great City of Farnaces, and cool their ardor in the cause of tho Magyar. ‘The speeches made at the Congressional banquet on Saturday evening, in Washington, were all strorg)y against the intervention principle. ‘Tho memorial from the New York Chamber of Commerce, for the removal of the United States Mint to this oity, was referred to the proper com- mittee by the Senate, yesterday. It is hoped that Congress will soon take into serious considera- fion the numerous petitions from Virginia and eleewbere, relative to the establishment of a mint of some kind in this metropolis. Such a measure would effectually put a termination to the whole- | aale robbery of citizens from almost every State in | the Union, upon their return with their earnings from California. Thousands of miners from tho gold region arrive hero with no other treagure than their dust, which they are compelled to dispose of at ® great casriGco, in order to procure immediate ne- | eessities. They are robbed and swindled by aclass | ofsharpers who are always on the alert for them; | and if they get off with one half what thoy landed | with, they do well. The only way in which this grievous evil can be remedied, is to have @ mint so Th Propaiing to tako tile feild. our readers, of all partics, tothe wire-workers and scone-shifters of the two | truction of tho Constitution and tho Union. *; Anti-Slavery Party and the Preai- dency—The O®o Anti-Slavery Conw tton, ‘The anti-lavery party of the North are again For the edification of nd s¢ a solemn warning great political parties of the coustry, we publish im this morning’s Hexaup the procsedings, in extenso, of the recent State convention of the anti- slavery party of Ohio, held at Columbus on the Vith instant. This is the firat Stato movement of the party in preparation for tke national conven- tion (o be held at Pittsburg, in June. Regarding this movement as only a prelimi. nery step to the re-organization of the anti- slavery party throughout the Northern eection of the United States, and looking for its fall developo- mentin the National Anti-Slavery Convention at sult was exactly what hedenired. The indignation of the presz, of all parties, at the impudence of Joho ‘Tyler, in attewpting to tteal Texas into the Union for his own personal advancement, rebounded upon the Senate. The treaty fell through—Jobn Tyler fell through ; but from that time to its consumma- tion, the annexatien of Texas became the loading question of the éay. The election of Mr. Polk turned upon this ques. tion; but singularly enough, he was elected by the abolition vote of New York cast for Birney, in direct opposition to the measure. At the eleventh hour Mr. Clay defeated himself by his Alabama let- ter, virtually endorsing the prejeot of annexation. It lost him the vote of New York—it cost him the election. Toxas was annexed, and with it the war with Mexico. ‘The stupendous and comprehensive resulte of that magnificent measure of national Pitteburg, in June next, its prebablo influences and effects upom the Presidential canvass become a matter of grave and deliberate Tefloction. Tho izea that the anti-slavery party of the North was in process of absorption by the whig and demo- cratic parties, and that no trouble was again to be apprehended from another Buffalo platform, thus promises to turn out a melancholy delusion. Whigs aud democrats of the North have been flirting and coquetling with the various tag-rags and fag ends of abolition and free soil; but it will bo to little purpore, unlers fome concessions are mado to Northern negro philanthropy by tho Philadelphia and Baltimore conventions. The Presidential eloo- tions of I8{4 and 1818 were desided by the anti- slavery balance of power. This power may be raliied again, and again decide tho issue. Nor is it to be presumed that a princi- ple of fanaticism, which hai eaten so doop- ly into the vitals of the North, can be cured by a poultico of the pablic plunder. The Fagitive Slave law is still denounced as an outrage, by tho antitlavery factions—the existence of slavery in the District of Columbia is still to them a grievous eye-sorc—tho South is suspected of an intense long- ing for the island of Cuba; and the border troubles en the Rio Grande, in connection with the distract- ed and shackling condition of Mexico, are ominous of continued snnexations to the area of slavery. In fact, we have groater reason to fear the re-or- ganization of tho antislavery party, upon an ex- tended and permanent scale, than we have cause to hope for its dissolution. It is founded upon section- alissues as old as tho Constitution; its hostility embraces the Constitution; its ultimate object, openly declared by many of them, is simply the des- Tho revival of the antitlavery agitation may therefore be expected to become a formidablo element in the Presidential campaign. The rise and progress of this Northern sympathy for Southern slavee, and malicious hatred of South- ern slaveholders, is curious and interesting. It moy be traced as far back as the last century, di- rectly to the jealousy of tho British East India Company against the West India Islands. To this cause may bo attributed the beginning of the agita- tion of the abolition of slavery in thoso islands. Wilberforce became @ very hero of philanthropy, and the horrors of black slavery caused even the starving paupers of England to shudder in their dens of straw. The thirteen colonies of North America were not afllicted with this dreadful conviction; for, beforo tho revolution of 1776, tlavery existed in them all, from Massachusetts to Georgia. Bat the movement in England in due season found its way across the Atlantic. With the moeting of the convention elected to draft the federal constitution, hostility to slavery developed itself, not only as a question of morality and religion, but as # political principle. The commercial advantages of a union with the South, however, obtained from the North certain woll de- fined concessions in behalf of Sou‘hern slavery. The most romarkable of these concessions was that by which, at the demand of South Carolina and Georgia, the introduction of slaves from Africa was permitted till the year 1808. On the other hand, the anti-slavery zeal of Mr. Jefferson, of Virginia, was equally remarkable. Through his efforts, the federal ordinance of 1787, prohibiting slavery in all the Northwest territory, was adopted. After the adoption of the constitution, the Northern States, impressed with the wickedaces of slavery, and find- jDg it unprofitable, gradually abolished it, after having been the most active importing agents in introducing it into the South. From the cetablishment of the government under Washington, in 1789, till the acquisition of Florida, the slavery question interrupted the harmony be- tween the North and the South. Tho Louisiana question—the war with England, of 1812—the pud- lic debt—tho bank question, and the tariff question, sufliciently occupied the public mind, the agitators, and the politicians. But the question of admitting situated that these returned miners can walk ashore, make their deposits, and receive the full | value for their dust. | Many items of interest will be found in the des. | pstch from our Albany correspoutest. It appears | that the Auditor has refused to pay for tho work | done and to be done under the contracts of the late | Canal Beard. The hearing on the writ from the | Supreme Court, in the cate of Mr. Yates, was com- meneod at Porda, yecterday, before Judge Cady. This ia a very important matter, as it involvesthe conduct of the late Board in awarding the contracts, aud a great deal of interest is manifested in the re- sult. Twocf the anti-ronters who were engaged in | tarring and feathering o deputy sberifin Albany | county, somo time ago,were arrested and lodged in | the Albany city p on yceterday morning. Somo hundred and fi{ty anti-ronters attacked ibe officers, with guts, pite e, &o, but the assailants wero | offectually resisted.

The Missouri difficulty, after shaking the Union to its foundations, was at length compromised by the line of 3630, and harmony was, fora scason, restored. *o litile, for a time, was the South disturbed by fears of Northern abo- Jitionists, that, in 1830, a State convention was held in Virgil @ principal feature of whieh was tho discuseion of the polisy of providing for the gradual extinction of slavery in that State. But al! movo- ments of this kind, in the South, wore speedily gap- preesed by the malicious and impudent incermed- dling of Northern abolition sosicties. In the year 1628 the first anti-slavery society was organized, aud the Journal of Commerce was establiched a9 the first organ, at this point, of tke Northern abolition movoment, and of that soeioty—the game journal which has since become the special mouth-piece of the Union Safety Com- mittee. The seed had been town broadvast ia 1820 ~-the rank weeds of abolition sedition began again to epring up; and after the settlement of the tarif! 3, the slavery question again ente’ into national politics aa a leading ete- mont of agitation. ‘Tho British act of the emanci- pation of slavery in the West Indios, of 1831, gave himpulse te the abolition movement bore, 2 by Arthur Tappan, Licyd Garrison, and Co. s was fooded with abolition petitions for the abclition of slavery ta the Distriet of Columbia.

But with the ac iewament of the independonse of Texas in 1836, th.? eotielavery societics o° the North wore quick to discover a now clement’ for the most active, earne:t, “td zealots eo operation against the extension of slavery. They accordingly began to rally their forces‘ in a gone: against the expected schom'e of annexation. andidate, in L540, be t up as the o thoy in JS19-’21, no general disturbance on acount of polisy aro still in progross of developement. They have shaken the Union to ita contro; but the dia- covery of gold in California is destined, in ton years, to advance the growth, power, and pros- perity of the Usited States to an extent which would otherwise require the tedioue work of half a century. But Collowing up the progroas of the abolitionists, in 1840 the whole vote for Birney scarcely excaeded seven thousand; in 1844 it rose te sixty thousand; andin 1848, the freo soil ticket of Van Buren and Adams ran up to an aggregate of threo hundrod thousand votes. ‘Lhe compromiee measures of 1830 temporarily broke up or disorganized all tho poli- tical parties of the country. They are now ia pro- cess Of reorganization, on thoir old platforms—not only the two great national parties, but the anti- slavery or {roe 20i] party ofthe North. They have yet tho Fugitive Slave law, the abolition of alavery in the District of Columbia, and the defeat of the project for tho acquisition of Cuba, as political capital to work upon. What can they do? What course will they take? How will it affect tho geno- ralresult? These are important questiens. We have shown that the anti-slavery sentiment in the United States is ag old as the governmen!; that it has * grown with its growth, and strength- encd with itsstrength;” thatit has decided, alroady, two Presidential eleetions—that of 1844, in favor of the democracy, and that of 1848, in favor of the whigs ;—and it is manifest, from those reeults, that this outsido party can at least command tho balance of power in New York, in Ohio, and also in Penn- | sylvania, and other Northern and Western Statos, in a close election. It is not to be supposed that a party based upon hostility to Southern slavery, and having for its object tho dissolution of this Union, is suppressed, or can be, with ono defeat, or a dozan defeats, of itsschemee. This anti-slavery movement in Ohio may well be regarded, thorefore, as one of the highest importance, in conncotion with the November election. Much will depend upon the policy which may be adopted by the whige at Philadelphia, and the democrats at their Baltimore convention, in refe- rence to slavery, intervention, ard the Cuba ques- tion. The democrats appear to be sanguine of suo- cess, from the results of the elections of the last year. But they aro no standard for a correct judg- ment. Tho Stato elections of 1839 were rather democratic than otherwise; but Harrison awept the esuntry like an avalanche, in 1810. It was so in 1847-48. In fact, from ell the indications around us, there is reason to anticipate a olose contest in tho coming struggle for the spoils (fifty milllons a year)—sufficiently close to enable the anti-slavery party todecide the issue one way or the othor, asin °44.and’48. This thing of intervention, itcolf, may yet prove a formidable queetion. The peace of Europe is still uncertain; ang aetate of war on the Continent would immediately rally, perhaps 100,000 votes in tho North and West, on the side of active intervention. . Now, let the politicians, the seone shifters, and the wire workers, of both the groat political parties, tell us how they are to conciliate the South and the abolitionists at the same time? The anti slavery ticket decided the elections of 44 and 48. Let tho whigs or the democrats tell us how that ticket can be provented from settling the question in 1852? Let them study the platform of this Ohio anti- slavery convention; let them look to the past—to tho strength of the abolition socicties—to the open questions of agitation—to the new ones liksly to come up—to the abolition movemonts in conjunction with Koreuth, Kinke), and intervention, and then answer if the game of the Presidency is not in the hands of tho anti-slavery party of the North? Let them answer, ifthey can. How will tho South aot intucha conflict? Whatcan the South do? WASHINGTON’S BIRTHDAY, The Military and Civie Display in New York. Splendid Hlumination of the Hotel de Ville, + dies iery dice The ore hundred and twentieth ansiverrary of the birth-dey of the great and immortal George Washiagton —the grand gals day to which every American looks forward with patriotic pride and indeseribable interest; was celebrated yesterday with uncommon festivity, by all our citizens. The raiz, which feil in torrents on dun- day night gave but little hops of faveradie weather for the patrictic demonstration ; aud even yesterday mor- ring the clouds anda slight fog forboded no cheerful day. Towards noon, however, the heavens suddenly began to clear up—the thick clouds gradually dispersed, and soon tbe gorgeous luminary of day ehone forth with meridian effalgence, causiog all nature to rejoice, and gave bril- liency to the festivities. By order of Mejor General Sandford, the national standard was displayed on the old flagstaff on the Battery, from euntise uutilsunset, A national ralute was fired et noon from the Battery, by the Veteran Corps, uviter the command of Captein Raynor,{aad another from Hamilton equare, by a detachment of the Fourth Regi- ment of Light Artillery, ander the direction of Colonel Yates, ‘The national and eity standards were also displayed from the City Heil, while, all day lopg, numezous banners were seen floating In the breeze from all the principal buildings of the city, whether municipal, State or fede- ral. Along the whole line of shipping that encircles both rides of our city, there was a magnificent display of fage, aud the various ferry boats ronning to and fram the city alo prerented a fine appearaace. being boaut: fally decorated with the stars and the stripes. THE REVIEW IN THE PARK. About half past eleven o'clock, the Mayor end the Common Council appeared in front of the City Hall, to review the civic and military bodies,as they marched past in the following order :— 7 ‘The Seventh Regiment of National Guards, under the commend of Qolouel Duryea. After having exeouted some of their military evolutions, with such precision and regularity that they commanded at ones the praiss and admiration of all the spectators, the regiment paid a marching salute to His Honor the Mayor, and then passed through the Park at the western gate. ‘Then come the flue Continental companies belongit to the Second, Highth and Eleventh regiments, an forming a battalion under the command of Captain Helme. They presented o fine appearance as they marched pastin rank and file, ‘The Veterans of 1812 next passed tn review, under the command of Captain Raynor. This venerable body, | consisting of old ecidiers of the war of 1812, presented a remaikable contrast to the young and robust men com- posing the other companies, The olficers were in uni- form, while the reet wore simply their civic dress, On their return from the Park, they paid a salute te the Henatp cfitce, ‘The Order of United Americans were next in suc- | cession, who paraded under General Uenry Storms, as | Grand Marehal of the day. With their splendid brass bands end numerous banuers, they made a fine display. With the Order cf United Amoricans the review terruinated. INTERESTING RELICS OF THE REVOLUTION. Among thore who witnessed the procession were two remarkably old veterans—Mr. Henry Gibson, one of Washington's Life Guards, who has attained the re- mazkable age of Ove hundred and one years, and Mr, Azar Holden, about ninety years ef age. Gibson, it teers, was born of Irish parents, on the voyage from Ireland to America, in 1751. He entered the line of the Continental army in the early part of the summer of 1775, by enlisting into the regiment of Colonel Henry Dearborn. He took partinall the gervice and actions in which that line was engeged, until the summer of 1780, when bis term of service had expired. He then enlisted into the battalion of heroes, from which he was soon after transferred to the Lite Guards of the Commander-in-Chief. With him he remained till the end of the war, and received his final discharge at Mount Vermon He has been re- siding in Orarge county, for nearly fifty years, from whencs he was brought to the city by Mersra, Cannon & Kemp. He has alwaye evjoyed an honorable character, ut is very poor, having no support for himself and grand children except his yearly pension ef $94, which 1s to- tally inadequate. He is feeble, but eeems to enjoy tole- rably good health forhisage. The above named gentle. man also brought a flag. woich aap from the balcony of the City Hall. It is said to have been taken from Washington's headquarters, Newburg, and appears to have been perfectly ridaled with builets. Gibson also witnested the execution of Cladius Smith, who wasa | terrorto the whole surrounding ocuntry. He was at the surrender of Bur goyne, Corntallis,and the battles of Monmouth and Brandywine. Holden was born 17632, in New England, about twenty miles trom Boston, and pro- feeses to bave heard the firrt shot that killed eight men atthe battle of Lexington. He was at the battles of | Mormouth and Yorktown. He has lived in this city for seventy five years, aud enjoys good health endetrength sn instance of which is found in the fact that he walked from Twenty: fifth street to the City Hall, being | a distance of three miles. | _ The consourre of people in the Park, and ia the streets thrcvgh which the precession psased, was immense, ‘The rocfe, the balconies, ths windows. and the aldewalke, were crowded with human beings, who evidently took a most lively interest in the proceedings. ‘The Seventh Regiment of National Guards, under Cap- tain Doryea, after leaving the Park, marched to the Bat- tery, and from thence were conveyed te Governor's Island. They were received at the wharf by the officers of the Fourth Regiment of Artillery, and were then re- viewed by Copt.

From this, they went to the fort, where they remained for some time to par- take of acolistion. Attwoo’clock they re-assembled at the dock, and were conveyed to the city.
