The convention at Syracuss has taken our advice, and unsnimously confirmed that and his name appears now in all tco whig prints. A few of the fooble silver gray3cou- mepved organizing an opposition, for the parpose of bringing Mr Daniel Ullman’s name before tho son- vention in competition with Governor Hunt’s, bat the card of dee'ension peromptorily and uaresorved- ly iesued by that gentleman, loft the grays no other alternative than to cave in and allow the Governor's nomination to be made uaanimous. It is more than probable, therefore, that our declaration, made in advance of all others, induced his excollency to withdraw bis language in re’ation to the matter, efficially and deliberately uttered on the first of Jan uary last, aud to come out as he did at Niagara, through Mr. A. B. Dickinson, as a candidate for re- election. For our advice in reeommending this stroke of policy to the whige—in telling thom early im the day who their candidate ought to bo—we claim no extraordinary foresight or sagacity. In casting about, w. instantly discovered that thore was only one singled \ ividoal leftin tho whig ranks in this State, who pos essed a sufficient amount of populari- ty to keep tha party together du ing the campaign. His excellency bas so shaped his cours» during hiv term just closing, a8 to retain, in a great measure, the confidence of the woolleys and grays. Both sections, therefore, believed him a ‘ good enough” vandidate for them, though he was in the habit of holding seeret communication with Seward and Weod, and rather gave the cold shoulder to the leading grays. There is no donbdt that Washing'on Hunt sin- cerely intended to deoline, at the time when he £0 informed the Legislature. Bui ic must be re- collected that at that period ho was + candidate for Vice-President, on the ticket with General Svott. His objec’ was not to retire from public jire, but to enter the nationa! .dministration, But the ne- cersity of giving North Carolina the candida‘e, upon the pledge of securing tha’ and three or four other Southern States, disappointed that hope and frustrated thoss fond anticipations; and he then feli back upon the party in this State. Another circumstance has contributed greatly in inducing Gove or Hunt to eonsent to another trial, and it is this: several of the democratic papers, especially of the barnburning order, have taunted him again and again with being the originator of the nine million canal swindle, and as being tho Jeading agont aod standing in front of the lobby of contractors who caused the infamous canal lettings. These wore direct cballenges, made purposely, no doubt, for the express purpose of testing his courage, and also that of the whig party. It was eaid by his friends, two or three weeks since, that those taunts and ebargos, if any one thing more than another, would “force” him into a re-nomination, and another race. The glove being thrown down by the democrats, in nominating Seymour, the whigs could not, with any degree of honor or courage, decline the challeage thus boldly tendered them. + Well, now it begins to look as if we are to have @ fair field fight, in open day—not on the caanl policy, for both parties, and ail parties, are in fx vor of the completion of the cana!s, but on the great moral and financial question of State jobbeory and legislative awindling on a large sealo—Huat, on one side, with his party. standing upon the gracd swindling unconstitutional canal law of 1851, which contemplated the creation of a debt of some fifteen or twenty millions—of which million and a half lies dormant in the treasury, for which the people ae paying six per esnt— based upon the surplus revenues of the ca some twenty yoars. In connection with this groes transaction of the Canal Board, well known i 2 the canal lottings, of a pure partizan, corcup® Sind shocking Character, in which all parties were engaged—Seymour, on the opposite side, couca- geously justifying the resigmation of the demo- cratic Senators, in their denunciation of that cor- rupt project—sustaining the Court of Apposls iu its judgment in pronouncing the law unconstitu- tional, thereby nullifying the law, and arresting the villany unparalleled which was about beiag perpetrated under it. That is tho great question of morality and gon- stitutional law at issue in this State, inthe Go- vernor’s election—not the completion of the cauals, for all are in favor of that; and as it ie no# fairly preeented to the peop'e, the whole people will have an opportunity of making the final decision. If Hunt is elected, then it will be made manifest that the canal bill was correct and propor; that the anticipation of canal revenues for twenty years—the borrowing of millions upon revenue certifcates—banking with them—tho recent corrupt and profligate canal letting to political favorites—were all matters and thiags consistent with the voice and wish of the peo- ple. On the other hand, should a majority deslare in favor of Seymour, then the people will say that the law was a fraud upon them—that the act wag unconstitutional, and disapproved by them; and that, the Court of Appeals adjudged properly in arresting all further proceedings under that law. Buch is the great issue, fearlessly and willingly made by the democrate, and reluctantly assented to by the whigs. The people have now the matter before them for ad- judication. Whatever the decision, “so mote it be.” The magnitude and importance of the subject demand that @ final judgment should be rendered i November, by the high court of final resort-—the neople. : The whig eondidate for Lieutenant Governor is Judge William Kent of this city. He stands in the front rank among the juristsof the State, and being the eon of the celebrated Chancellor, brings a weight of character upon the tivket which could not have been excelled. Ho is scarcely known 28 a politician, and if he consents to serve, will draw handreds of votes from Church, the mero politician and anti-rent demagogue and ant'cipated nomiace. Mr. Kempshall, the nominee for Canal Commission- er, is an estimable and worthy citizen of Rochester. He bas been many yoars largely ongaged in the fleuring business and mercentile affairs, andis a& competent ae any new man for the position of com- missioner. He will recoive a flattering vote in that section of the State. The candidate for State Prison Inspector is Epenetus Crosby, of Datches: county, whom Gree- ley predicted would be nominated. His first ap- pearance in public was es a membor of Assombly, a few yours since, when his seat was contested by George T. Piorce, who suceseded, by a politica vote, in ousting Crosby. Crosby was aubsequsatly returned to the House, and was suffered to sorve bis term unmolested. He is a man of ordinary capsci- ty for public station, and does not by any means possess the qualifications which the Albany Evening Journal thought, a few deya since, a State Prison Inspector should possess. He is. however, equally a4 well fitted for the station as Dr. Olark, the demo- cratic candidate. Both State tickets being now before the people, the campaign should be prosecuted with vigor. The Presidential quostion lies dead, and no signs of enthusiasm have yet been cvinced. The attempt to create a military furore, on secount of the services of General Scott, has most signally failed, and the old vetoran himself has been compeliod to make a Western tour, and take the etump himself—a sad and melancholy labor, to whica mo other Prosidential candidate, since the birh of the republic, bas ever boen com- Polled to resort Ho always found the regular srmy ready to obey orders whon be gave the word “ Forward—maroh;” bur be finds it quites different affair in attempting to command the people.

The famous Empire Club, the Granite Clubs, the Churubusco Clubs, the Chippewa Clubs, the Fuss and Feathers Clubs, are fainting for the want of money and drink; and now that the State nominations are up, Simeon Draper and the whig committee, Augustus Schell and the democratic committee, must give the indiepensable “‘ egg-men” ap abundance of the wherewithal to keep thom from further starvation and intolerable thirst.

Tax Newsraren Press iN CUBA AND TTB Unirep Stargs —The local government of Cuba has excluded, with one or two inconsiderable excep- tione, all tho newspapers published in New York and New Orleans, generally, that contain any mews from that island, under the plea that the intelligence which they receive is false and incorrect. The same authority also perpetrated an unquestionable i ity upon the American flag, by erdering tho police agents to prevent the landing of Mr. Smith, the purser of @ steamship, on the vague chargo that he bad furnished intelligence from Cuba of the bar- barities practised by the Governor on the unoffend- ing inhabitants, and of the genoral discontent which prevailed there; which information was publiehod in tho New York journals. By these acts, it would appoar that the Governor of Cuba and his councillors have very little know ledge or acquaintance with the peculiar natare of the freo press of this free country. 1f he does not know it, it is time that he should—“ maurdor wili out.” Tho cruelties and persecutions to which the unfortunate Creoles have been subjected would have become known to the various papers of the United States, indepondent of the assistanee of Mr. Smith, who is charged with making such communications— as to which, however, there is no proof. The island of Cuba is entirely dostitute of # froe press, and under the prosent state of things it is impossible that one could exist. In the various struggles for liberty and freedom which havo beon attempted in Europe during the last century, the public press has almost invariably led the van of battle against the tyrant and oppressor, and it is not to be wondered at that the Governor of Cuba should object to the introduction into that island of such a powerful auxiliary of freedom and progress, which would be a more potent poison to despotic and tyrannical government than the bullets and bayonets of the fillibusteros. Even the journal that professed merely to discuss the commercial ques- tions of the island and elsewhero—the late Furo In- dustrial—was last year suspended, on suspicion that the editors or proprietors were unfriondly to the lo- cal government. Thoro are at present only threo journals in th city of Havana—La Gaceta de la Habana, Ei Diario dela Marina, and the Prensa. There are also in that city two censors of the press, one of whom wo believe is part proprietor of the Diari dela Marina, and of course may be considered as the police agent of the governmont. Nothing, therefore, can appoar in the Havana journals bu! the most studied eulogy of the government, in 2! its acte and details. Now, in this country, the press is without consor ship, perfectly free as the air we breathe, and ows no responsibility but that which every citizon ow to the laws of the country, administered and oxocu'= ed by our courts of justice. Inthe present excitable condition of Cuba, the Amerigan people gnd the American public are vor anxious to ascertain the course of events, ac thet arise, in the island of Cuba, and wish to be fin formed of them with accuracy and precision. Ii tho intentions and acts 9; <6 government of Orbs claim thoze unqualified praises which are poured out upon them by the Havana press, there ought to be no restriction put in the way of circulating such On the contrary, if the Captain- General of Cuba understood his posi- knowledge in the United States. tion in that [eland, and his contiguity to the vel- cano of American institutions, he would be the first to send all authentic and full information by every American steamer that touches at Havana, to be published in the American journale, and widely cir- culated, in order that his acts might be fairly repre. sented before the American people, and that false- hoods, complained of az circulated by the Creole conspirators, might be met and put down at once. During tho revolution in Canada, some years ago, in its highest state ef excitement, the prossin that colony was perfectly free, and this freedom tended much to correct public opinion in Canada and the United States, with regard to the progress of events on both sides of the border. The local government of Cube can only endanger their own repose, and injure their own reputation, by endeavoring to withhold information from such American journals ae would willingly and cheerfully publish it to the world, and by this means correct the exaggerations and inventions of the Creole conspirators, or reyolu" tioniste, in the island. It is true, we belicve, that the government of Cuba have resolved to support and keep up the circulation of two Spanish organs—La Cronica of New York, and £7 Pelayo of New Orleans— which journals, however, are entirely in favor of the acts of the government of Cuba, and their circulation confined to the few who read or understand Spanisu. Correct intelligence from Cuba seldom reaches the American readers, and it would be more politic in every official attached to that island in the city of Havana, to take every pains and adopt every means to convey, promptly and fully, every event, in the moet accurate manner, that transpires at Havana or any other part of that country. To transmit such information to the American press, and have it ciroulated here, would have a muoh more deeirable effect on the public mind, and lead more to repese and quiet between the tro countries, than the treatment which they have so recently exhibited to the pureer of oneof our steam- ships, or the angry exclusion which they havo pronounced egainet the leading journals of this metropolis, and those throughout the United States. As far asthe exclusion of the Hepaup is con- cerned, we care nothing ; for, contemporancously with the order of exclusion in Havana of the various American publications, several of the agents of the government in that island subscribed to our daily paper, and we suppose they receive it | regularly by every steamship. We hope they may profit by ite contents. Yet wo can casily under- stand the reason, with feelings of much sympathy, why the Governor of Cuba is so strongly opposed to fer a Year. of Rew York—New Buildings § lauen xD Gasman Ruenation To THs UniTep i Brasve.—A curious change has taken place during ‘We have secertained by r-eent socourpte inquiry, | the last fow months in the ebaracter of the emigra- that the value of the ew buildings erected during the last twelve months in the Eigh:eenth ward alone, | {8 equal to four millions of dollars, aud that the aggre. | gate amount for the same period, throughout ihe city, may be estimated at ten millions of dollars, more or less. This is a movement truly astonishing: | The vast improvements going on in New York | assimilate the present era, in many respects, to | the prosperity of 1835 and °36, previous to the great financial revulsion of 1837. In every part of the city, whole blocks of good old houses, which might have stood for half a contary longer, are pulled down without tho slightest re- | morte, and splendid new buildings, in every varioty of | tasteand magnificence, soon occupy their sites. Rail- | readsare projected through every strect—Broad way | and the Fifth avenue included—and it is possible that | allsueh projects springing from speculators and spe- culation may succeed, in spite ofall the effortsofeober ments are just now beginning to be made in Green- street, which has just been raised and repaved, will soon be filled with new and splendid buildings and stores, the German and Irish boarding- houses with which the lower part of it is now almost exclusive- ly occupied, being driven into some out of the way quarter. Whole blocks of the most splendid buildings, eaeh house worth from thirty to ‘forty thousand dollars, are being erected in tho upper regions of the city ; but small tenements, adapted to the wants of the middlo and poorer classes, are never thought of snd never heeded. Tho fashion able quarters of twenty years ago have been long since abandoned by their wealthy occupants, and given over to the more humble classes. Extrava. gance in living, extravagance in style, extrava- gance in habitations, extravagance in everything, prevail in Now York to even a greater extent than in 1834-5-6. The vacant lots of the city are filling upfast, and, in a short time, it will be quite eom- pact, in its leading avenues and cross streets, to a distance far beyond the Reservoir on Murray hill. All these movements—vast and comprehensive— revive the recollestions of the palmy period of pros perity which prevailed here previous to the terrible revulsion of 1837. But we have now, however, a golden California belonging to ourselves, and a golden Australia accossible to our trade, to strengthen and uphold the present system of expan- sion in all the commorcial and financial depart- ments of the republic, and the danger of reaction is lessimminent. Yet it is possible things may be driven too far. Our prosperity, however, may go on increasing for some timo longer, under the vast paper wealth produced and put in circulation by the multiplication of banks, aided and assisted, fos- tered and invigorated, by the importation of gold from California, and the influences of the trade with Australia, which will soon grow to one of magnitude. The present grand and impulsive movement in commercial and speculative affairs may goon for several years yot—for five, six, seven, eight, or ten years—during which period of time every ono that has capital oan increase it, every one that chooses may make money by specu lation; but, neverthologs, tho crisis is inevitable, and woe betide tho individuals or the elasses who will be found with vast amounts of property and debts when the tide turns, as it will do, one of theese days. In the meantime, let us all eat, drink, and be merry. The day of revulsion may be still several years off; and when it dyes come on, if it so hap- pens that General Scott be thon President, and tho wbigain power, we may expect a new national hank, to stave off the ruin fora few years longer, or anow national bankrupt law, to enable us to cheat allour creditors, and keep all that we may have Louts Napoloon. France is truly the stage of tho world, for therein yolitical dramas are written and practically acted. Aomanity looks on as an anxious spectator. Frac- tions of the audience applaud the performances; bu th great inaas are animated by feelings that par- tke but little of approbation, for the scencs that are presented grate too harshly on their sy-apathotic feclings—they are horrified at the sad spectacle of fallen national greatness, and are compelled to despair of the resurrection of republicanism. With the order of the programme they do not find fault, for every thing has been done with theatrical rega- larity, and on that score no obliquy whatever cau be attached to Louis Napoleon. In his character of stage manager he has omitted nono of tho essentials. His first piece was a tragedy, got up on a very large scale, and aided by tableaux every way calculated to produce thrills of horror in tho breasts of the audience. The sceno and dialogues wore exciting, and the massacres wore bloodily grand. It was unprecedented as @ theatrival effort, for it was @ five act tragedy condensed into one sveno. A repetition was promised, and France has ever since trembled in expectancy. In the meanwhile, a divertiscement has beon pro- sented after the tragedy. There have been fétes fireworks, and feasts; and, according to the pro- gramme, this divertissement iz to be followed by the serio-comic farce of ‘* Taking the Crown, or tho Adventurer Turned Emperor.” The concluding piece is not yes announced; but that the entertain- ments will finish up with somo domestic drama there cannot be a doubt. As to its precise naturo, conjoo- ture is, ofcourse, rife. There has been no lack of pro- phecies on the subject. Some have augured the over- throw of Louis Napoleon, and the re-establishment of the republican form of government. Others, again, have prodicted that a Napoleon dynasty will benceforth grace the throne of France, which will be a fulfilment of the dearost wishes of the © hero of a hundred fights.” Others, of legitimist opinions, are sanguine of the restoration of Bourbonism, in the pereon of the Count de Chambord. Regarding tho first of these prophecies, wo very much fear that the grout spread of socialist and communist opinions smong the French people will prevent them—in ouse of Louis Napoleon being cathicred-—from giving support to any goverament that does not espouse the cause of socialism; and without the support of people, # government becomes, of coursc, & mockery. Tho soldiery will not help to uphold a republic, for it is but too evident that they are thoroughly im- bued with that extraordinary mania termed “Nepolconism,” which is antagonistic to every prin- ciple having an opposite bearing to military deapot- ism. That there ever can be ® social republic, forms the hopes of communists alone ; and as they are only an uninfluential portion of the nation, aad profess principles that can never, by possibility, be successfully carried out, it follows, as s necessary sequence, that ® governmont founded on their sya tem cannot be secure, even if it should really be founded. Thus, then, it is apparent that the chancos of a revival of republicaniem in France are but small. the introduction fnto that island of our free and | That there will be fulfilment of the second pro- liberal preee; but we arc at # loss to explain his phecy we have noticed, is not 9 matter of 60 much motive for objecting to the circulation of those | doubt; but at the came time we feel almost cortain, journals favorable to the Spanish connection with | (though the mainstay, the army, remain faithful), Cuba, and only dosirous of # reform in the colonial |- that a period would econ be put te sucha reign government. bhrewdnees and intelligence.

In former years Irish omigra- tion alwaye execeded that ef all other countries put together, azd was more than double that of the Ger- wan emigration. In the year 1851, the whole amount ofemigration to this port was 239,601, the number from Ireland wae 163,256, and from Germany 69,833, thus showing tbat the Irish more than doubled the German emigration, and was considerably greater than the aggregate of all countries, including Ger- many. For the present year, up to the 22d of this morth, the emigration has been as fullows :—Total 226,976, Ireland 85,664, Germany 92,686. We have compiled the following table from the records of the sioners of Emigration :— Commisioner! unig sat ah zs Freland.

It will also be perceived that tho increase in the Gor- man emigration only commenced with the month of April, the Irish emigration for March far exceeding it. The number of emigrants from Ire- land in March was 13,213, irom Germany osly 8,816. The change, therefore, has taken place during the last six months, and it is wholly unpreve- dented in the history of emigration to the United States.

Thisremarkuble inorease on ono side, on the other, has led ua to inguiro into the causes of both, and we have ascertained them to be as fol- lows: The German communes or parishes have, during the last few mouths, commenced sending out the pauper class of Germans wholesale, Thoy have paid their passages to tho United States, giv- ing thom the alternative either to come out here or to starve at home. Whole cargoes of that class have come together, and hence the vast increasé iv the German emigration. What is the cause of the decrease in tho Irish emigration? It arises from sevoral causes. During the last few years the emigra- tion from that country has been excessive, so that the country is now drained of its redundant labor, and thoze left behind will get employment. Almost all had come out who could afford to come an! wore disposed to emigrate. Tho classes remaining are chiefly tho wealtby, “hnd those who aro ox tremely poor, too poor even to emigrate. Tho po- tato crop, too, has not failed this year, es it has done in former years, and many therefore remain in tho hope of future improvement. Another cause of tho ewigration being diminished to thie country, is the impetus given to Australian emigration. Groat numbers of the better classes of the Irish have gove, during the present year, to the new El Dorado, iv search of gold. It is estimated that ii,000 per dey or 30,000 per month aro emigrating there from Great Britain and Ireland. But the cause, | por- haps, which has, above all others, diminished the emigration to this country from Ircland during the prerent year, is the lettor of Fa ther Mullins, and tho advice of other Catho clergymen, warning the Irish peasantry agrins coming tothe United States, on account of dan ger to their souls—it being found that a large pro- portion of the Catholic emigrants forsake the ro ligion of their ancestors, and become either Protes- tants or infidels, from want of a sufficieat number of Catholic priests, aud the want of zeal in those that exist, but most of all from the example set them by Americans of froe thinking upon all subjects The followirg table exhibits the proportion of Trish and German emigration, and the wholo amount from all nations, to this port during tho last four yenrs:— 1849. 1850. 1851, bore -112.251 116,582 169.256 «88 G44 55 70S 45 402 60 883 92.686 49 047 00 BUS 56.462 45 620 26603 212796 = 289001 226.976 Theso tables show that before this year the German emigration bad vot been half the amount of the Irish, and thatthe Irish bad been invariably moro than half of the aggregate ofall nations, while for this year the Lich emigration is only about one-third of the total, and ie below tbat of the German population. It wil be found at the end of the year that the emigration to this port will not be far short of three hundred thoweand passengers; and this increase will be owing to the tide that has set in so strongly from Ger- mony. If it proceeds in the samo ratio, in a few years hence tho larguage of “fatherland” will so prevail in many parts of the country, that it will be difficult to find any person who can spoak the Eng- lish tongue except in a broken manner. This influx of Germans may also have a very romarkable effect upon ths American race, the character of our institutions, and upon the social condition and habits of the people. Hitherto the Anglo Saxon and Celtic elements prevailed Henceforth the German race, Which 18 far more numerous in the Old World, threatens to absorb all others, and to become the predominant element in that mixture of racos which constitute “the Corinthian brass” of American hu- munity. Tox Ciry Rerorw Leacur—A Rewnant or Na- TIvisM —A society has been got up in New York, calling itself the City Reform League, but consist- ing, in reality, of the dross of the long since ex- ploded native party. Its organ appears to be the Times. James Harper, who was once Mayor by ao. cident, when nativism was kindled by peculiar cir- cumstances into temporary existence and power, is President and chief man of the litle cliquo. Being once in office, like most other mayors, (for example, Kingsland and Mickle,) he is itching to be clothed in the petty brief authority again. Ono of the leading orators at the fir't meoting, denounced the whole press, and imputed to it all sorts of cor- ruption. We hope he did not judge of others from himeclf. Certainly it ie very suspicious that ho wants to exclude tho prees, and all other persons not members, from tho meetings of the junta. Ho- neety and integrity court the light, and need no con- cealment. There ie no truth better established than that all corrupt men, as woll as all tyrants, hate and fear the prees. This movement, however, amounts to nothing, and is not worth wasting a shot upon. It will soon die 8 natural death, or commit suicide, if it is not already dead. Personal Intelligence.
