By telegraph we ha’ synopsis of the proceed” ings in the Free Democratic (commonly called free soi}) State Convention, which met in Syracuse yes- terday. The body was organized by the seiection of Jobn Jay as President. Ex-Senator Hale was on hand, and reported a series of resolutions and an 2ddress, which gave rise to a warm discussion. An ‘attempt to incorporate the Maine law with the plat- form was voted down:--thus showing that although somg of the leading Ohio free soilers have availed themé€lves of this, among other modern clap-traps, as will be seen by the documents on another page, the New Yorkers will have nothing to do with it, Im the course of the afternoon, candidates for State officers were nominated, after which the convention adjourned sine die. Sec the list of nominees, under the proper head. Unneual excitement exists among the democrats im Erie county, as will be seen by the reports of the transa:tions in the different Assembly conventions. In the First district, Israel T. Hatch was elected delegate to the Syracuse Convention, whereupon a protest was entered by the hunkers, and the meeting broke up in confusion. There was a regular split in the Second district. The friends of the adminic- tration, being in the majority, threatened to eject o Custom House delegate, who wished to read a protest against the action of the body. This caused gene- ral preparations for a fight tobe made. The dis- effected withdrew, and the meeting then nominated Wm. A. Sutton as the delegate to Syracuse. Lyman B. Smith was afterwards nominated as the delegate of the seceding party. This is but the beginning of the many difficulties of a similar character that will come up for adjudication before the Syracuse Con- vention. Harmovious democracy, eb! Mr. Edwin M. Yerger, the whig candidate for Congress in the Tenth district of Tennessee, who, according to the official canvass, was defeated only by two votes, has proposed to his competitor, Frede rick P. Stanton, rather than contest his election before the House of Representatives, to ran the race | ever again, which Mr. doing. Of course he does. very decidedly declines With a certificate of elec- tion in his pocket, and a large democratic majority | in the House, how silly it would be to suppose that he would voluntarily take upon himeelf such an | awful risk as he would have to encounter in a second ria}, especially when he has but two majority, and two informal yotes having been thrown away from his opponent. Mr. Stanton is too intelligent not to know that a “ bird in hand is worth two in the bush. The whigs of Alleghany county, Pa., yesterday met in convention at Pittsburg, and nominated what they consider a strong ticket for State and county officers, 4 conyention of the advocates of the Liquor law was held in Es-ex county, Mass., yester day. They resolved to yote for no man for olfice who is not unequivocally pledged in favor of the law. | The Warren Baptist Association held their sixth | anniversary in I’rovidence yesterday. Moch of our pace is again devoted, to-day, to the details of the progress made by the yellow fever et New Orleans. The frightial scourge having driven from the place, or swept into eternity, the Jarger portion of the unacclimated, is beginning to find lees material on which to vent its malignity— consequently there lias been a slight decrease in the mortality reports within the last few days, as compared with previous statements. From the late per diem fatality of one hundred and seventy to two hundred the number was yesterday reduced to one hundred and twenty; but then it is said that the Jast report is incomplete, owing to a difficulty connected with the Catholic cemetery. Among others who are announced as having fallen vi to the disease, are Mr. Dabbelstein, the Mexican consul, and Major McDonald, the acting British consul. Dr. W. K. Northall, formerly of this city, and late one of the editors of the New Orleans Delta, died of yellow fever at Hollywood, Ala., on the 28th uit. He left New Orleans on his way to New Yor on the 23d, apparently in good health, but was advised by his friends to pass a w days at Hollywood, a cele- ¢ in the vicinity of Mobile, unti] it was certain be stood in no danger of an at- tuk from the prevailing epidemic, and where the best medieal assistance could be procured if neces. tory. Dr. Northall’s death will be great'y regretted by his numerous frieuds in this ci New Orleans. A most terrible calamity occurred upon thebw! at Wheeling last Monda, Some twenty ke gunpowder exploded, while being removed fr Gray. a 8 The carmay was instantly killed, and another man severely injured. The wharf boat was com pletely demolished, two steamers were badly dam aged, and handreds of dollars worth of windows were broken in the vicinity. One mition of dollars were subscribed by the citi zens of Savannah, last Tuesday, for the purpose of constructing an air kine railroad from that place to Mobile, with a branch to Flo: Dates from Havana to the dith, and Key Woes to the 20th ult., reached: Charleston yesterday. Trove is little of imterest from the former place ra wore somewhat firmer, and i¢ was believed that they would advance should a safieient vunber of ship arrive to take iway. Breighta were imoroving e@wing to the searcity of vexwis, From Key West we have one or items of maritime news, to which the sttention of those interested ia directed. Late advices from the British provinces state that she United Siates steamer “wlion reached Chariette Maine | town, Prince H¢ward Is'and, on tee 224 ult, but not fnvins the Prine-ton, imngediately left. The command ro? the Boglsh “eamer Media bad been court martialed fer cisqoadience of orders. He was reprima ied snd acquitted. The British’ soldiers were desert¥ay in cousiderable numbers. We leatm fom Albany that the taking of testimony in the cage of Canal Commissioner Mather before the Court of Impeachment was concluded yesterday, and that counsel will make their argument today, after which the Conrt will probably adjourn for a few days in orJer that its members may each have time and opportanity for deliberation and judge- ment upon the fucts and questions presented. Today Bishop Doane will be brought before the Bench of Bishops at Camden, N. J., to answer the numerous charges which have been preferred against him. In November last, the Epis:opal Convention at Burlington acquitted Bishop Doane of all the charges then pending against him; but that does not seem to satisfy the Court of Bishops, who have de- termined to make him undergo another and more rigid examination before themselres, wherein his episcopal condact will be narrowly scratinized, and his guilt or inpocence of the special offence alleged against him will be finally devermined. The Pittsburg orapibus drivers who were arrested for running their vehicles on the Sabbath, have been diseharged, and the complainants ordered to pay the costs. ‘The steamsbip Europa arrived at Boston yesterday, and her mails reached this city about 1 o'clock this morning. Atters hasty glance at the latest British papers, we find that the telegraphic summary hither. to published so completely embraced every item of general importance as to render it unnecessary to detain the press for lengthy details today. The debate in the British House of Commons on the Russo-Turkish question, together with the latest news by telegraph from London, given in another column, will be founed very interesting, particularly that portion relating to the various warlike move- ments still going on in both Russia and Turkey. A mass meeting of the trades of New York was held last night at Metropolitan Hall, which was densely crowded by a large attendance. A full e port of the meeting will be seen eleewhere. We give elsewhere to-day, an authentic and de- tailed account of the recent attempt made to murder Hiram Williams, the pedier ; the capture of Warren Wood in this city, charged with the offence; his con. fession of guilt, and return to Greene county for trial. State of Politics tn Ohio—Call for a New Con. : lition, on the Seward Platform. Wecall the attention of our readers to the letter of Hon. Joshua R. Giddings and the ac- companying newspaper articles in reference to the projected organization in Ohio, beginning with Cuyahoga county, of a new political party, to be formed of all the loose materials, whig and democratic, free soil, land reform, abolition and Maine liquor law, prepared to enter into such a combination. The call and the letter of Gid- dings cover the programme of Seward, Weed and Greeley, for the reconstruction of the whig party in Ohio. In the sequel, however, it will be seen that they donot bag the game which they anticipated. The call of these Independents of Cuyahoga county, which embraces the important city of Cleveland, proposes the nomination of a county and legislature ticket upon the following com- prehensive platform, to wit: 1. Opposition to the extension of slavery. 2. Active hostility to the fugitive slave law. 3, A divorce of the general government from all connection with slavery. 4. Free farms to actual settlers on the pub- lie lands. 5. Retrenchment and retorm—an old humbng. 6. Equal taxation of individuals and cor- porations. 7. The Maine liquor law. The letter of Giddings more fully explains the drift of this platform on the issue of slavery. He swallows the whole dose, Maine law and all. He thinks it an excellent prescription for the necessities of the times. He is very chari- tably inclined. He is quite ready to shake hands, in good fellowship, with all sorts of men, of all sorts of parties. on this general platform of conciliation and compromise, And we rather think that Greeley will now cease to call Giddings a plunderer of the public trea- sury. and pronounce him a trne philosopher and reformer. Doubtless. a meeting at this | time between these two old bald headed sin- | ners, would be very cordial and amusing— | they harmonize so charmingly upon the projet for reorganizing the whig party of Ohio. But the Ohio State Journal, the central or- gan of the whig party ef the State, indignantly repudiates this proposed piebald and traitorous coalition. Experience has taught the Journal | that a free soiler, par excellence. in Congress, is without influence, without respect, and ut- | terly disqualified for any thing but mischievous agitation: that he is a drawback and a detesta- ble hindrance to all useful legislation; that he is not only a nuisance in himself but a positive | disgrace to his constituents; and so the whig central organ vf Ohio will have nothing to do with the scheme of Giddings, which compre hends the duty next year of returning a whole hatch of members to Washington of the stripe | of Giddings and Greeley. | | Hence we may take it for granted that this | | beautiful design of a comprehensive coalition, including all the outside factions and outside issues of the day, is substantially rejected by | the whigs of Ohio. The democrats on the one | i 1 hand, and the diversion of the free soilers on the Weetern reserve on the otter, may defeat the whige again, as they have done ever since } the free soil split of 1848, on Van Buren and the Buffalo resolations; bat the Journal thinks that a defeat upon broad na- | tional principles is better than a temporary | victory upon sectional and factions expedients. We think so too—have always thought so; but | what a pity that the whigs of Ohio, of New York, and of the whole country, did not think so a little earlier in the morniog. Ab! whata sad iale of disaster and dispersion would have been avoided, had Seward and his organs and his allies been a little 200 cut adrift. Let us hope, however, that in this late repentance of the Ohio State Journal there may be the ke to a brilliant Yesurrection of its party, li the stains of the traitors of abolitionism. Let Ohio wh remember that the principls and teachings of such reformers as Greeley and Giddings are fraught with sedition and discord and foilowed closely by inevitable defeat and disgrace, But this injunction ix anticipated, if we may rightly construe the State Journal, and hence- forward the whigs of Ohio. and Greeley and Giddings, vail ander different colors, Aad should the whigs of New York, at their October Convention, act upon the eu stions of the whig central organ of Ohio, there will he no other oceupation left for our § wil r wid his seditious allies, thaa the nv ' ma of an onteide fac Nn, playing fw and loore, aecording to thd petty exigencies of small localities, or a full and hearty repentance: upen probation, The aigaal for the prac 1 recoustruction of the whig party, will be the proclamation of the national principl:s indica- cated by our Ohio cotemporary. Short ot these, the whig party must continue prosirate, dis persed, disorganized, and defunct. But it will be observed that the temperance people of Obio do not like this proposed coali- tion, so earnestly recommended by Giddings, Tt may be meal. but they suspect that a cat may be at the bottom. Party spirit, party objects, and party trickery may, perhaps, be the secrets of this new coalition. At all events, the Maine law people of Northern Obio, according to their special organ, The Harpoon are in favor of ealling and picking their candidates at their own discretion, without entering into any ‘‘en- tangling alliances” with the free democracy.” Equally futile, we presume, will be any attempt to make the Maine liquor law part of the plat- form of the whig party of Ohio. As for the regular democratic party of the Buckeye commonwealth they can well afford to stand as they are. The free soil subtraction of the Western reserve from the whigs in 1818 continues to work satisfactorily to the demo- eracy. They want nothing better than the continuance of the independent party of the “free democracy” of Giddings and Company. This faction, completely detached from the Whigs, can now only be reunited to its old alle- giance by the adoption of the free soil platform ef the whig party. That plan is repudiated. What comes next? We must wait the upshot of the movement for the new coalition upon the free coil, abolition, retorm, Maine Lijuor law platform. A few days will throw some light upon the question. It is an important erisis for Giddings and Greeley—neck or nothing. AN Ixcivent or THE Cusan Stave TrapE.— We publish in our columns to-day, an interest- ing letter written to us for publication by an influential Cuban gentleman in this city, Mr. Goi- couria. Accompanying it is another document of some political importance, as tending to evince the sort of sincerity with which the Spanish officials have endeavored to put down the slave trade. This latter is nothing less than the copy ot a petition, numerously signed by men of in- fluence in Matanzas, and presented to the Cap- tain-General of Cuba, in November, 1843, repre- senting the evils and dangers to be apprehended from the extensive introduction of Africans into the island, and soliciting his Excellency to take efiective measures to put an end to the trade. The document is couched in respectful terms, and breathes nothing but devotion and loyalty to the Castilian crown, But, as Mr. Goicouria states in his communication, the principles in- volved in it, and the views it enounced, were so distasteful to the government of Cuba that some of the persons of the highest standing among its signers, were made to feel the retri- butive arm of power. The publication of these papers at the present moment is appropriate, as supplying documenéary evidence of the bad faith of Spain in regard to the treaties for the suppression of the slave trade. Goy. Foorr iy Miseisspri—Prepark ror War.—The Marshall Guard, of Mississippi, in the course of a strong Southwestern eulogium upon Gov. Foote (who is stumping the State with the view of electing a Legislature to re- tura him to the United States Senate,) says that He was the head and front of all | eter and the ee and boast of the South, and the grim ter- ror, like an old oak in eonscious grandeur, in haman strength aud solemn self-poasession and coolness amidst the fury of whirlwinds, tornadoes, and hur- ricanes, of ull factions and gregarisus demagogues, assembled like grouse, pelicans, and porcupines, ac- companied with oll kinds of snakes, for the purpose of penetrating death and fusion, with a right sharp noise; but that it was feared he had inadvertentiy fallen by a sudden calamity to a pipes obeourity. We thought be was gone; perha e was; if so, it ‘was a grievous fault,and grievously have his enemies to answer it. Like Phoenix, be has sprang up, with invigorated vitality, from his own ashes. After a good deal more of the same high- pressure style of Mississippi eloquence, the editor says that there is but one party in the State, and that ‘‘ Foote will be returned to the Senate by acclamation.” Now, we know of no man to compare with Foote,who has “sprung up with invigorating vitality from his own ashes,” except Downing—Geo. K. Downing-- our ‘free colored American.” We had thought thet Downing had fallen into a “hopeless obecurity,” or that he had gone to England to join in the abolition speculation of the Black Swan and Unele Tom. But, no! He, too, rises like ’& Pheenix from his own oyster shells, and has now,we learn, a fine lot of Silver Creek oysters ready for his customers, for the inauguration of the season, beginning with Sep- tember. There is but one party in New York, and that is the oyster party ; and Downing’s hardshell= will be dissected by acclamation. Just so. Tuk Conan Cerennation To-Day.—The se- | cond anniversary of the death of Gen. Lopez will be solewnnized to-day, with great fervor and | display, by the Cubans resident in this city. Their réunion in the Apollo Saloon is to take place at seven o'clock this evening, when ora- tions will be made in honor of the ien who fought and fell for the independence of Cuba. | The following is a copy of the invitation re- ceived at this office from the committee of direction:- FE! dia le de Setiembre proximo & las 7 deh noche se celebrara en el salon principal de Apolo, No. 410 Broadway, el segundo aniversario de las victimas de Ja libertad Cubana, y se suplica Ja assistencia de V. | a este acto solemne en enyo lucimiento deben inte- resarse todos los buenos patriotas. New York, y Agosto 30, de 18 Ex Comivge Directive. We have doubt, from the sentiment pre- vailing among the Cubans here, that the cele- bration of to-day will be extremely grand and impressive. Bat we have no information as yet upon the result of their application to Arch Bishop Hughes for the sacrifice of a high maes for the repose of the souls of the gallant dead whose meniory is to be honored on this ecen- sion. Truaxoctan Harwony.—The beautiful quar- rel now going on hetween Thuriow Weed on the one part, and the Baflalo Commercial Ad- vertiser and the Robert Macaire of our New York daily press on the other part, on the ject of whig trickeries and thimble rigging, is a fine exemplifieation of triangular harmony. Thurlow forms the base line, Dr. Foote the per- sabe pendicular, and Robert Macaire the hypothe- nuse. joining the vert end horizontal lines with the most perfect fignre of mathematieal harmony. The whig party is intact. It forme atriangle. But, Who will ring it?—that’s the question—who will ring it We are stillin the fog. Tre Harp Saeuss ws run Bieio—The hard shells, the hard fieted democracy, tho hugo paws, are to open the fall cainpeign in this city to morrow night.

Therefore, let all foreigners and strangers in our city hie them after breakfast to the place of rendezvous, and gratify their curiosity by the sight of real live bloomers, talking with a-forty parson power and determined to achieve, in spite of itself, the salvation of the whole human family from the evils of intemperance, and to establish the Maine liquor law in every corner of the habita- ble globe. The gushing eloquence of Miss Lucy Stone, now venomously sarcastic, and now dceply affecting, and the more gentle but not less polished oratory of the Rey. Miss Antoi- nette Brown, are per se sufficient inducements to attract a numerons and fashionable audience. EvenmG EXnrpivions at THe Cryst AL PaLAace —The Orystal Palace announces that the building is to be thrown open to the public in the evening, for the first time, on Friday, the 2d instant, when the exhibition will be kept open till ten o'clock, P. M. Thisis avery judicious moye—judicious for the trea- sury of the concern, and judicious, also, for the public at large. It isa hard matter to draw our people off from their business purmnits during the business hours of the day—but evening entertainments are a very different matter. The evening is just the time that our people seek repose and recreation and en. joyment, and we have no doubt they will avail them- selves of this opportanity of seeing the Palace and its treasures of industry and art. We are glad to learn that express directions have been given to remove the canses of annoyance to which we have heretofore called attention, and we hope that hereafter everything will go on swim- mingly and amicably. Everybody should undonbt- edly see the collection now at the Palace, and not Jess the Palace itself. The exhibition is a credit and an advantage to the city, in more ways than one, and our people must, for their owa sakes, see it, and keep it up and sustain it. Tue Arcric snp ARabra.—-We have received several communications lately, requiring explanations regarding the quickest eastern trips of these two steamers. AJl we know about them we have already published. Capt. Jndkins reports leaving here at thirty-five minutes past twelve ; Capt. Lace says he passed the Battery about a quarter of an hour earlier. “When doctors disagree, who is to de- cide?’ Probably the best way would be, in the case of a bet, to take the time of each veasel from the statement of itscaptain. While on this subject, we may observe that we have several weighty objec- tions against answering questions in or paper con- cerning these matters, especially “to decide a wager.’ The proper persons to make such inquiries of, are the agents of the respective lines. @alk on’ hange. Cotton wae more active yesterday, and the sales reach ed about 4,000 bales, without change iu quotations. Flour continued firm, with an upward tendency in prices. Common to fair State brands closed at $5 50. There were free sales of Ohio and Michigan flour. The transactions in the former reached 6,000 to 8,000 bbls., (chiefly fan- cies and extras,) including 2,000 for export to France. The sales of wheat (chiefly Western) reached from 20,000 to 40,000 bushels, in market and to arrive, principally at prices varying from $1 32. $1 34. Sugars were steady, with sales of 8008900 hbde, About 3,200 bags of Rio coffee were soldat full prices. A commercial house complained of a want of uniform- ity under the quarantine regulations at Staten Island. They stated that they had a vessel arrive at quaran- tine in seventy two days from Rio—a long passage — which was quarantined by the boarding health officer, while a vessel which sailed from Rio on the same day, bnt reached thia port in forty-five days, was snflered to come up to the city without any detention, and had actually loaded and proceeded to sea again before the other yeseel had arrived. Tne house deemed that they were losers by the long voyage of their ship, and felt it to bes hardship that they were subjected to a futtier de tention and loss by having their vessel quarantired, while another, which sailed on the same day, was au‘fer- 8 some anxiety expreseed to ree the general circular, which it bad been stated the Secretary of the Treacury had issued to the various collectora. Some- thing of the kind was needed, as there was a want of uniformity at the different ports, as well as in the des. patch of business. The facilities regarding the despatch of Canadian transit trade, at this city and Boston, differ. ed very much, and required regulation so far as to place business of this kind pretty mush on an equal footing at both places. It was trusted that while the able and patri- otic Secretary would do ail he could to introduce reform throughout the country, he would also afford the commercial community evary facility for the speedy transaction of business, consistent with the due execu- tion of the laws. Some merchants complained that at some seasons of the year the business hours at the Custom Houre in New York, were too limited. From 10 A M. to3 P, M., or five hours per day, was too brief « period for the pro per despatch of business. Laborers hed to work ten hours, and all leading merchants in the importing trade, with their clerks, were confiued to business from sdout 9 A. M, to 5 or 6 P. M., or from eight to nine hours per day, on the average. What reason, then, was there for paying clerks and other cficials at the Custom House liberal salaries for five hours’ atiendance, and perhaps a part cf this time taken up in eating or drickingy A practice had formerly prevailed wh'ch caused merchants whore Custom House business was pressing, to pay clerke bonuses for extra hours work, afterS P.M. Of course this was zaléulated to iuduce clerks Lo do less in officia] hours, in order to have the more to do out of hours, for extra pay.

However, as the hour advanced they began dropping in, a largo number of whom took their piaces in the gallery, and by eight o'clock the body of the hall was very respectably filled, and by the time that the meeting commenced it wan densely thronged. Although halt-past seven was the hour announced for the meeting to come to order, it was sfter eight befere the business commenced. ‘Tne preliminary step consisted ia appointing a Presi dent, for which purpore Mr. Coffin proposed David A Cock, President of the Printers’ Union, which xomination was upanim< usly sgreeo to, Mr. Cook, the President, said that he did not come to make any opening speech, his remarks would be, there- fore, brief, and he should simply introduce the firat Mr. Doyle, who was received with much began as fellows :—Fellow citizens, ho xever grateful your applanse msy be to my feelings, I woud rather that jou forgone it, considering the circum. stances in which we are mot.

(Uheers ) It appears, then, that there is only one to make a bargaia, aud that you must submit like serfs. But, in time of peace it is necessary to prepext for war—you cannot resist when the effort shall be made to reduce your wages.

I bave read learned esays upon political economy in the pspers, and there I have been informed that there is a subject called supply and demand; that on account of excess of labor, lator can only get a bire living, t0 that when labor exceeds the demand, the re. moneration must come down. Did it ever ocgur to these writers tbat there was an excess of labor in the doctor ard lawyer market? Was there ever such a thing known as excers here, when, every year, a fresh stock of young remilemen are ground out from college? Why, | ask, is there not the seme excess among them? Because the professional gentleman knows how to regulate supply and demand. He does less, and charges more. Do you understand that?
