The aggregate returns for the meoth, counting from the thirty first day of July to the towenty-eighth day of Auguet—four woeks—show tha’ two thousand one bandred and twenty-four per- sous bad died in New York dunng tha: period. Of this pumber, there were three hundred and fifty-six men, two hundred aad nipoty-eight wemen, eight bundied and twenty ove boys, avd six handed and forty vive girls.

Tho Tewainder embraces natives of almost every country inthe world. Av ural, our inside pages contain a vast amount It was finally decided | But our cotemporary of the Courter admits that a large proportion, if net a mejority, of the thirteen thousand mem, whe rigned the call for the Webster meeting at Metrepolitan Hall, will either vote for General Pierce, or vote no ticket at all, in the ab. sence of a Webster ticket. We presume that the loss of even five thousand men in New York, sim- ply by their refusing te vote, will ke equal to a loss to Seett of the clestoral vote of this State in No- | vember. But if half of them go over to Picroe, then the loss to General Scott will be equal to 7,500 votes, Why, then, should not the friends of Mr | Webster, ia New York, resolved not to vote for Gen. Beott!—why ebould they not have an opportunity te vote in the clection fer the man of their ehoive? | The matter is entirely at their discretion. And how does the Courier know that these independeat | Webster men, of this city, will not secoad the Web- | ster movement im Georgia, Nerth Carolina, aud | Marraebusetts, and put forward a separare Webster | | electoral ticket? Tv be consistent with themselves, j and the prinsiples of eenrervatism which they have | professed, and to be true to Mr. Webster—to do him | justiee, and to wipe out and rebuke the etigma of the Baltimore Convention—they ought to give him | their wnited support. When a party, professing to | be @ peace party, and an anti miliary chieftaiu | party, sacrifves its principles and professions, and | the peace and quiet of the eountry, in rungs after | gunpowder candidates, it calls for such a rebuke | asit iv likely to receive, whatever may be tho course | of Mr. Webster and his friends. But it especially | eballenges his disgust, and their open and undis- guieed reprobation. The exy of Mr. Webster’s obligations to the whig | party is but adding ingult to ingratitude. Like Mr. Clay, Mr. Webster owes the whig party nothing— | nothing—nothing. They owe him everything. They | have used him like a drudge, ora dray horse, and | they havo rewarded him in promises as false as irre- deemable shinplasters. They have used him like a drudge, and treated him like a dog. Aad now of interesting and important matter, in addition to several columns of business advertisements. Mr. Webster's Posttion—The Presidency and the Whig Pasty. The peculiar position of Mr. Webster, in this Pre- sidemtial contest, has at length become a matter of eatreme anxiety and apprehension to the whig jour- wale in the support of Gencral Scott. They have tried indifference, ridicule, aud iatimidation, with- out chuking either the stern tilence of the great btaterman, oF she purpose of those independent, and high winded, and honest friends of bis, who refuse toderert bim. As a last resort, a combined effort is bow ip progress, in the shape of a pitiful appeal to whig principles, whig antecedents, and the imuinent perils tu the country of hazarding, in any way, the success of the whig ticket nominated at Baltimore. It is conceded on all sides, that the position of Mr. Webster will have no small degree of influence in thaping out the grand result in November; it is even admitted by the Seward organs that, if he continues te stand still and say nothing, it is equi- valent to the defeat of General Scott. It is, there fore, of the highest importance that tho acquies- eence of Mr. Webster ehould be obtained to the Buitimore deeree which pronounced him utterly an- fit to be nominated over the head of a more gun powder candidate. As yet he has not conseated to thie bhewiliation; and we apprehend he has now gone too far to take a “‘step backward,” either t> be just to himself, just te bis friends, or dignified aud consistent before the comniry. Net ouly, however, have the leading Seward journals taken the alarm, and commenced pleading and begging, like traitors in distress, but the Courier and Enquirer—one of the most consistent of the eonservative brauch of the whig press—came out yesterday morning in @ very elaborate appeal against the nomination of an independent Webster ticket in New York. A variety of reasons are urged by our cotemporary against such a separate movo- meut, ali of which, notwithstanding, we think are eompletely quashed by the closing paragraph of the argument, which is as follows:— now stated what we consider to be the main y the friends of Air, Webster in this city make electoral ticket, We do not y thet wil Of Chere rew uve operated upon all, or ould be asrented to by all; they have affected various inoividusls m various degrees. but will tend to the «ame Begabve reev)'—ibe non-concurrence of the whigs of Rew York with the whige of Boston im the iadepeadeat not Mr Webster. r General ecott. the repeated proveript hig parcy of e0h Uumnate e'atormanshop for mere gunpowder availihi- y= sep eon that General Scout, ex he wes nominated by ike ici agency, wall bervafier bo ewayed by free rol jnfluence--a Jerliog that the battle is already lost Ly the uufortune'# seetionat nomimanioa at Balti more, ard thet ait bope of suceers fs vain—tndigua- tion at Ube con'umely poured on tbe whig platform by mur f the Sree aud foemot friends of Sco t,in tne firet furb of their iriue pe in the Coaven'ion ¢-entmeat at the reeent unprovoked and envenom-d insalee of Me.

It has been the policy of the New Yorke Haran, trom time to time, to lay before the American people the remarkable chain of circumstances and justifyiog causes for thie peculiar attitude which Mr Webster has occupied, and continues to eccupy, in this can- vars. But the undiaguised contempt with which bis claims were treates in the Baltimore Coaveation, by the Seward interest, which tinally dragooned the Convention into tke nomination of Gen Boott, is cause evough, not only for Mr Webster's armed neutrality, but for av open declaration, on his part, of active hoetility to the Baltimore whig ticket. Me was regarded in the convention a# tov weak even to be respected; and there was an insulting spirit of mockery of bis pretensions, from first to last, which he would indeed be « poor oreature either to forget orto forgive. The adnesion of his twenty-five or thirty friende to their preference, from day to day, was treated with derision and ridicule; while, at the same time—es he subsequently stated to the Mississippi delegation—if the South really preferred him to General Scott, (as doubtless they did,) then the record of the convention is, to the prejudice of Webster, a falsification of history. _The superior availability of General Scett in the Convention, lay in the fact that be had said nothing snd bad done nothing to damage his onuse with the shes foil nullification and abolition branch of the whig party. On the avetite of Beward and hs alligs, and hod arnoen tionably become #0 for ; wafficion vesracad whatever may be the yne hee apse yetery in which this matter in still involved. On the other hand, Mr. Webeter, like President Fillmore, had tairly and fally oom. mitted himself in support of the constitution and these whining rycophants of Seward are appealing to Mr. Webster’s obligations to the whig party. The Courier is right ia supposing that this sort of | thing is too muci: for the sincere friends of Mr. Web. j ster ; and we doubt not, it is quite too little to | shake the imperturbable resolution of Mr. Webster. The leading oracle of Seward in this city thinks that the House of Representatives would be a good retreat, for Mr. Webster. We think 80 too; not, however, as the secend of W. H. Seward in the Senate, but as the independent Daniel Webster, in the position like that of Clay and Calhoun in their last days; and like that which Benton muy be ex- pected to occupy in the next Congress. But we eball have time enough to return Mr. Wobater to Congress after the Presidentialelection Let justice first be done to Mr. Webster on the Presidential question ; let the false record of the Baltimore Oon- vention be corrected ; let the intriguing agitators who hang fast to the sits ef Seward—who in turn holds fast to tho epaulettes of Gen. Scott—let tiem all be rebuked and sent adrift. Thus Mr Webster, and the constitution and the Jaws will be vindicated, and the schemes of our abolition inoen- diaries will be defeated. Let Mr. Webster end the friends of Mr. Webster stand firm. QuARREL AMoNG THE SENATORS IN Wasuinc- TON.—At one of the very recent little brushes with which Congressmen amuse themselves every other day, Mr. Polk, as we understand, charged Governor Jones, of Tennessee, with having ridiculed General Pierce, the democratic candidate, in his speech at the whig ratification meeting, at the Broadway House, in this city, some two months ago. To this Gov. Jones authorized a friend, in his own absence, to give a flat and positive denial; and, to get out of the matter, went so far as to accuse the New York journals of having falsified the report of his speech on that ocoasion. Now, Gov. Jones may think that he has effectually silenced and put at rest the ques- tion of ridiculing General Pierce, by making this wholesale and unqualified contradiction of his re- ported speech; but if that gentleman wishes to re- tract or ercape from the consequences of his owa conduct, it shall not be at the expense of the re- porters of the New York journals. Tho reporte:£ al) the morning papers, the Express, Tribune, and Courier and Enquirer, coincided substantially with that of the HsraLp, which was, however, more comprebensive than the rest. On referring to our paper of the date in question—25th of June last— we find that Governor Jones did hold up tothe utmost ridicule and coutempt the democratic candi- date, General Pierce. To quicken his memory, we wil] quote one or two pasasges from the report of his tpeech, and then let him say whether or not these pasesges resemble his style of oratory, anit whether he ever made use of such words :— He (the rpesker) would tell a man whe was opposed to busty plates of soup.

Pierce, he is wel- come to do 80; but if he has the audacity to say that he never made use ofsuch expressions, then wo can prodnce an array of evidenor, from our cotem- poraries of tse same date, which wil! prove the truth and accuracy of our reporter andthe mendacity of Gey. Jones. If Gov. Jones, or Tom Jones, or Jack Jones, or any other Jones, shal meanly, and to shirk the consequences of his own acts, impugn the creditability of our reporter, ho wil! find himself in the wrong box. These stump spoak- ers 10 seldom venturo out of their districte, where thero is ro fear of their being correctly reported, thet when they do come to New York they find neoted with this /llibustero movement, is ia somo respects (ueorrect. The following note from Messrs. Howlumdg& Aspinwall, disclaiming all coonection with, and ll knowledge of the Lone Star Associa- tion, thows that with respect to them, a} least, our information was not exactly reliable. If any of the other gentlemen, whos namcs were mentioned in ihe tame category, have a ke cause of complaint with Mesers, H & A., we shall be happy te rectify the mistake in the same manner, and put them in the position of neutrals as soon as they desire: — i New Yous, August 30, 1852, James Gonvos Buxneit, Bea , Boiron Hanan: Deak Bia—Haying moticed im up edivorial of your paper Of Us org, Uke UuWarrapled use of our name 1 CODDFCVOR #1 LB KUEWLY Ol Which We bave ny KuoW jedye except through your columps, we have to request be favor of your giving sueu Gireetious as will prevent he Cesurrence Cf a rimiiar annuyance, We ate, deur rit. yours truly, MOWLAND & ASPINWALL, But, whatever mistakes may ve made in the list of members belonging to ihe “ Lone Star Association,” we can have no reasonable doubt of its numbers, its ganization, its Mcentions, aud the formidable na- iure of its general purposes aud character.

The advertisement announcing it describes its lite. rary werits and claims on public patronage with a great flourish, and particularly solicits attention to the fact that its publishers have expended fifteen hundred dollars to editors and authors tor this single number. Now the Harpers are very excellent and thrifty men—pious withal—and they are also very economical individuals, and pretty ’cute in various ways. Even this very announcement which they make, of having expended fifteen hundred dollars on the September number of their magazine, shows that they have not as extensive notions of liborality even as @ two-cent paper. On many occasions a single copy of the New York Herawp, which may be purchased for two cents, has cost us moro than fiftecn hundred dollars; and, on one occasion, the expense of a single number of the HeraLp reached as high as two thousand five hundred dollars! We would advise our respected cotempo- raries, in their recent novel efforts for American literature, and particularly in the circulation of their new magazine, not to take to thomselves to much credit for extraordinary liberality to American authors and artists, until thoy can beat us at the fame weapons. Estimating a single number, cost- ivg us two thousand five hundred dollara to get up, aad sold at two cents a copy, wo leave it to tneir arithmetical computation to find out how much, in the fame ratio, a single number of their magazine, wold at twenty-five cents a copy, ought to cost them, before they can have any pretensions to boust of liberality in their oxpenditure. Tos Laxa Erm AccipEnt — VERDICT oF THE Cononer’s Juny.—The Coroner of Erie summenod | ajury to hold an imquest on the body of an un- known girl, about ten years of age, whieh was brought in by the propeller Ogdensburg, and after the examination of a number of witnesses, tho fol- lowing verdict was rendered:— ‘The jurors find that DeGrasa McNott. the first mate of the propeller Ogdensburg, was then on duty, aud wason deck. That she night was calm and ciear. That, from his own evidence, he raw the lights of the Atlantic when she was from three to four miles off, and until the eolli- tion, that he raw the two boats approach each other, yet gs¥o nO order tothe wheeisman wutil within three or four Jods of the Atlantic. bat, by his own evidence if he had directed the wheelsman a short thme sooner, the col- lision woult have been syoided, but he did noc, be- cause he beileved the Ogdensburg was in her proper course, and the Auluntic Was not Without determining whetucr there was caieles-nest or not on the part of those on daty onthe Atlentic, the jury wou'd not twithfully discharge their duty. did they not tind DeGra-s tleNett, the frst mate of Ogdrnsburg. guilty of gross 298, end @ wicked Guregera of hamen life The jurors afore. twid. find Ubet the deceased caine to her death by means Of euch carelestuess, Afier the rendition of such a verdict, we should suppose that the mate of the Og- densburg would hare boen immediately arrested 3 but we have not yet learned of o single arrest in connection with this lamentable affuir. Of what use is it for a coroner's jury to toy that death was caused by the cardessness or negligence of any in- dividual, if that becomes the end of it? If tha ua- fortunate victim, over whow this jury held their iu- est, came to her death by a ‘* wicked disregard of human ji ¢ part of the mate of the pro peer, then, in the eyes of the law and the comma nity, DeGraes MeNett ir guilty of manslaughter, and for sach offence he chould take his trial befure a jury. Uf the death of that litile girl was alone the result of his ‘ gross oarelesencss,” we should think judicial proceedings should at once be iasti- tuted; but we find upwards of two hundred men women and children, hurried into eternity by the negligence of this first mate, and yet we bear of votbing being done, except the harmless con- demation of a coroner's jury. ARKANSAS ELECTION.—We have returns from al but fifteen counties, and the majority for Conway for Governor stands at 500; but the counties to hear from, it is said, will give Smithson a largo yote, which will probably elect him. Both candi- dates are democratic. The only difference between them appears to be, that one is in favor of railroads themeclvos completely out of their latitude, and are ashamed to ree theirepeeches next morning. 1t is al) very well in Tennessee, and round the country, to say what they wieh, when their words cannot ex- tend beyond their immediate audience of one or two thousand ; bat itis completely different when they addrese a mecting in this city, as then their speecher are next morning bofore the oyes of half a million of people. These stump orators, too, have but substantially the one political specch, and therefore it is an important point for them to keep out of the way of regular experienood reporters The two epecches of Gen. Jones, in the Broadway House, were cousins german, and bore a very strong likeness to each ocher; and his bye at the mass meeting at Saratoge was a rehash of the two, aneo- dotes and all fore, our reporter at Niagara wok no notes of that oration, recognizing it as a mere combination of the two he had heard in the Broadway Heure.

Hanyarp University ann Litsrary Honons.— We ree it stated that Harvard University has con- ferred the literary degree of A.M. on Freeman Hunt, editor of one of tho magazines of this olty. This was a libefal and generous act on the part of Harvard College, and was well bestowed. But we have plenty of other candidates for the same ho- tor, who would be also vory excellent and deserving recipients of the gift, and who furnish the Univer- sity of Harvard with more opportunities of extend- ing their generosity and benefactions to the literary public. We have a oumber of editors and atiachés of penny and Sunday papers, and of journals of rious kinds in this city, who, in point of talents and qualifications, are equally entitled to the honorable appendage of A. M. to their names ns the late re- cipient Freeman Hunt. We trust the college will take the matter into consideration, and sond a few more of their diplomas in this dirertion. nomination of candidates fer Governor, and other | State officers of New York, will take place at Syra- eure to-morrow. It is the State Convention of the democracy. The Whig State Convention, for the same object. is announced to be held also at Syra- eure, on Wednesday, the 22d of Beptember. The nominations to be made by both these party couven- tions embrace candidates for the offives of Govern- er, Lieutenant Governor, Canal Commissioner, and During the Jast few weeks good deal of interest bas been developed, in differ- ent parts of the State, in relution to these conven- tiens, and to the nomizatious which the parties may put forward during their rerpective sittings. As far as these developements have proceeded from the whig journais, and whig sources, it seems that all the other candidetes who have heretofore been pamed in this party, bave been set aside, in conse- quence of the superior availability of the present The position of the whig party in this State on the general question of election, from the Presidency down, is not of so strong or positive ap order asto allow the whigs to indulge in apy experiment on some new and untried candi- date. Governor Hunt bas given great satistac- tion to the whig party, as chief magistrate of this State. He is, besides and moreovor, a mun of general intelligence, ef very fuir reputation, aud. beyond the Jimits ef the whig party, he is en- titled to, and receives, a great deal of respect and eonsideration.. We bave always, on our own part, cousidered Governor Hunt to be a fur better and bomestery wan than most of the politicians by when be is surrounded, or by whom he bas been support- ed and piaced im power. The whige, therefore, may be considered as having already determined who their candidate for Governor will be, even before the meeting of the convention, on the 22d of Sep- tember. The other candidates, however, have to be determined and decided upon in that convention, In turing to the eituation of the demovratic yaity of this State, on the same question, we dis- cover a grest deal of difierence of opinion, and of internal cissexsions and squabbles, almost loading 1o disruption of the party, in their selection of dele- gates to the State Convention, both in this metra- polis and in Albany and elsewhere. There has been a Violent contest in the party generally, be- tween the forees of the barnburners and hunkers, threughout the State; and even these factions e «divided among themselves on particular individuals and cliques. These divisions on State questions and Sate nominations, have characterized the movements of the party presses aud the party meetings during the last few months. In fact, the democrats have toe many oandidates in the field for the office of Governor, and seem to be ia very much the same condition in which they were previous to their nomination for President wt the Baltimore Convention. Among those hitherto mentioned in connection with this high office, and whose names will probably come before the convention to morrow, we may enu- merate the following, viz:— Horatio Seymour, .f Utica ; Erastus Corning, of Albany; Gen. Wads worth, of Genesee ; Mr. Clinton, of Buffalo; Mr. A. C. Paige, of Schencetady ; Dr. Beekman, of somewhere on the Hudson river; General Ward, of Westchester; besides others, whose names are unavailable, and of no account whatever. That there will be a good deal of difference in the State Convention, in the selection of a candidate for Governor, we have every reason to expect. The recent publication by the Auditor of the State, of the proceedings of the Canal Board, developed a state of things in relation to this ques- tion, which may lead to some confasion and a good deal of heart- burnings. It is probable, therefore, that we will—and we may expect to—see scenes of considerable excite- ment during the Democratic Convention at Syra- couse, on the nomination for Governor, and great differences of opinion between the-barnburners and hunkers; but on the subject of the Presidency all these differences will only tend to increase their strength and voto for General Pierce throughout the State. The general opinion esecms to be that the contest for Governor will be waged principally be- tween the friends of Mir. Seymour, of Utica, and of Mr. Corning, of Albany. This very fact, however, will only tend to prevent the nomination of either; and we are not sure but it will bo the best policy for the Democratic Convention to set aside all the can- didates who have heretofore been named, cither hunker or barnburner, in consequence of these can- didates or their friends having been mixed up with the violent contentions and quarrels growing out of the recent distribution of the nine million loan. If the democrats want to carry the State elections, wo would earnestly adviso them to nominate such a stateeman and reliable man as General Ward, of Westchester, who has been connected with no eliques, is compremired with no factions, and would ron throughoat this great State probably better then any other man who has yet been named General Ward has been a reliable member of the democratic party from the time of General Jackson down to the preeent day. He was many yoars in Congress, ani has always employed taleat’ of the highest order, a3 @ statesman, a pa trict wnd an American. And we have no doubt thet bis nomination would form the strongest ticket to run against Gov Hunt that basyet been thought of in this State for some years past. It is vory evi dent the whigs mean to avail themselves of the dis- con'ents along the Erie canal, which grew out of the defeat of the magnificent plan for plunder ia the recent dirtribution of the nino million loan, which Was put down and set aside go jastly and properly by the Court of Appeala The nomination of either or S:ymour, or any such man. ns overcome these loval feelings, Ui be agitated by the whigs, to the same as might be dene by the more popular nomina- Coming ticn of General Ward, of Westcboster. We are eo mach convinced of the correctness of the views which we take op this subject, that we are preparivg our mind for the defeat of the demosratic Stete ticket for Govornor and othera, unless some consideration, euch as we have pointed out, be tuken up avd acted ooin their nomination of the con- vention at Syracuse If the convention nominate as their candidate for Governor any of those seo- tional men—avy of those politicians who have been connected with any of the partioular cliques that have been ditgracing the State for some time past— we are not sure but we shall support the nomination of Gov. Hunt, the whig nominee, in preference to any other that may be put forward by the present convention. We would, therofore, advise the Dem- ocratic Convention to consider well what they are about. Let them put forward such a name as Gen. Ward, of Westchester, who is above all these cliques and quarrelling, and there is no doubt that he can be returned by @ Jarge majority, for many who would otherwise abandon the democratic ticket for Governor, and go for the whig ticket, will then warmly and efficiently support the nomination and election of Gen. Ward, of Westchester. Wheatrical Intelligence.
