Wew York, Wednesday, September 14, 1853, ——————————— The News. ‘Well, the long agony concerning the New York Democratic State Convention is over, and the Teealt of the labors of the hard and soft shell factions de to-day spread before the world. The entire pro- eeedings may te summed up in a few words The leaders of both factions were deternined not to Yield to their adversaries. “The rank and file were terribly excited. Two temporary chairmen were ap- pointed—one for each party; and these officers, in turn, submitted their claims to a vote of the dele gates present. The softs, finding themsel7es out mumbered, withdrew and got np a separate conven: tion. All this was anticipated; but there is one Seatore that was not before thought of, and that is that some of those who were elected a3 hards also withdrew, and got up a clique of their own; conse. quently the democratic party of this State is now divided into three fact! ns, viz.:—the ultra hards, Bometimes denominated the unmitigated adaman- fines, under the leadership of Mesars. Mike Walsh, Story, Croswell, and Wheeler; the radical softs, under fhe ebief guidance of John Van Buren; and the vvacillators, headed by Mr. Grant and ether seceders. The hard shella deserve credit for the activity they exhibited in taking the field early, performing their duty, and then retiring. They or ganized, made their nominations, passed resolutions substantially the same as Hon. D. B. Taylor's, and then adjourned. Here is their ticket:— George W. Clinton. Secretary of State. James T. Brady. Attorney General. James EF. Cooley Comptroller. 2.D. Fay... Engineer and Surveyor. W. C. Watson. State Treasorer John C. Mather. -Canal Commissioner, ML W. Bennett.. . Prison Inspector. © B. Ruggles ind H. M. Denio... Judges of Appeats, B.S Bowne... ......... Clerk of Appeals. The gentlemen composing the above ticket have gerved long and faithfally in the party ranks—their principles are known. It is a ticket that will make fe eyes of the bunkers glisten with joy. But who will the soft shells nominate? Rumor hath it that fihey intend to select a majority of their candidates from among those who supported Gen. Cass in 1548. ‘The greatest hilarity prevailed among eich factian at the close of our despatches last night. The names of the delegates selected by the whigs of this city to represent them in the State Conven: tion, will be found under the proper head elsewhere. New York politics continue to engross most of ‘fhe attention of the leading men in Washington, as will be seen by our despatches.

Quite an exeitement was created in the Maasachu- setta Temperance Convention by an attempt on the part of Lioyd Garrison and his coadjators to recon. sider the vote on the resolution ordering the women to be kept ont. After three unsuccessfaj trials, Lioyd and his friends gave itup, and withdrew from the assemblage, amid the cheers of the large audi- ence. During the day some progress was made in Taising subscriptions to the proposed fand of one million of dollars, which is to be expended in the prosecution of rum sellers. The Court of Episcopal Bishops adjourned from yesterday till Tuesday. It is surmised that the court Ahas resolved to try Bishop Doane. A despatch from the East doubts the truth of the statement that seven American fishing schooners have recently been captured by British cruisers. The steamship Georgia is reported to have sus- tained great damage during the’ hurricane off Cape Hatteras, and many of her passengers lost all their Ieggage and money. See what is said about the dis- ater in another column. A large number of buildings were destroyed by fire in the village of Amsterdam, N. Y., yesterday moming. The houses were mostly composed of wood, and consequently the loss will not probably exceed thirty thousand dollars. In the United States courts yesterday a further ‘ribote was paid to the memory of the late ex-Chie! Justice Jones, it being the first term these courts have asrembled since the decease of the learned jad ze. Mr. Charles ©’ Conor and Mr. L. R. Marsh passed ekcquent and just ewlogiums on the character and learning of that iate venerable member of their pro- fession, and Jadges Nelson and Betts responded in appropriate terms, directing the proceedings to he placed on the records of the United States District and Circuit Courts. The Supreme Court, Circuit, and the Common Pleas disposed of @ few inquests without «jury, Judge Mitchel heard motions in special term, and Judge Roosevelt sat in chanbers. Judge Phillips delivered a decision in the Marine Court important to builders and mecha.ics; and Judge Daly gave two decisions in the special term of tthe Common Pleas. There rot being sufficient mera bers to constitute a grand jary in the United States Distriet Court, Judge Betts ordered an additional panel for this mornir The continued large receipts of breadstuffs at Os- wego, Baffulo, and Albany, las had the effect of somewhat checking the operations of fur dealers in this city, as will be seen by thacommercial report fm another page.

Jater Boropean news, bad not arrived at three o'cloc’ this morning. The Nitgara is now due at Halifax, with one week's news. We publish in another column a somewhat remarkable article from the Washington Union. the apecial organ of Gov. Marcy, on the rela- tions subsisting between the administration and Gen. Casa. It evinces the characteristic policy of that faction of political adventurers known asthe “spoils men.” whose varying fortunes have never carried them beyond the atmos phere of low intrigue and the petty larceny baunts of drivelling political management. As contemptible, however, as these men have ever been in the eyes of an honest public sentiment, up to this time they have not been charged with such an imbecile display of the imple- ments of knavery—the dies and tools of a coun- terfeit retreat—as those described in the article to which we have referred. Themselves en- sconced beneath the drippings of the treasury. and finding all their hopes centered in the miser- able rewards of office. how can they be expected to rise up to the dignity of statesmanship, and to realize in the administration anything else than a system of compensations and a scramble for * spoils?” “Gen. Cass.” says the Union, “ distinctly notified the President, before the inauguration that he would accept no office ;” “of course, then,” it adds, “he had no cause to complain on his own account.” Gen. Cass’ interest in the administration was then confined to the simple question whether he was personally served with an office or not. The principles for which he had contended vanished into thin air under the potent power of public patronage. If be declined the place. he foreclosed his right of complaint, and thereby “endorsed and ap- proved” the “policy” of the administration. The office must be the beginning and the end of his thoughts and the sovereign controller of his actions, Having thus cured Gen. Cass by Gov. Marcy’s spoils elixir, there was no earthly reason why the same potent medicine should not be administered to his friends. Adds the Union: then, “declining to take any place him- self,” under Gen. Pierce, “would naturally make him more solicitous that justice shou)? be done to his friends” Whereupon the organ officially avers that Gen. Cass, having made no demonstration of dissatisfaction, renders it conclusive that he ‘endorses and approves” the policy of the President in reference to ap- pointments. It will not escape the notice of the political reader that the Union confounds the question of principle with that of policy. Gen. Cass is expected to make an issue with Gen. Pierce if his friends are not served. He must descend from his elevated retreat and fight the administration upon questions of office. Him- self a candidate for President in 1848, now a Senator of the United States, the silence he has preserved in the midst of the spoils-strug- gle at Washington is construed into satisfac- tion at all that has been dene. Is there no man in the government possess- ing sufficient sense and delicacy to see that, without an absolute surrender of all self-re- spect, Gen. Cass could not make issue with the President touching the distribution of the pub- lic patronage? Does not Gen. Pierce know that not an ap- pointment to any office out of the State of Michigan has been made on the recommenda- tion of Gen. Cass? and that even within that State not the slightest regard has been paid to his views and wishes? What means, then, the shameless prostitution of Gov. Marcy’s or- gan in perverting an expression of earnest so- licitude for the success of the administration into an approval by the veteran Senator of the policy of appointments made by Gen. Pierce We say nothing of the indelicacy and the questionable morality of the organ in thrusting before the country the confidential views of Gen. Cass, and making deductions from his si- lence in reference to his satisfaction or dissatis- faction with the treatment of his friends by Gen. Pierce. The purpose the disclosures were intended to subserve is too manifest, and their insincerity too apparent, to need exposure. The Union can vindicate itself only by pub- lishing Gen. Cass’ letter endorsing the appoiat- ments and expressing his satistaction with th: treatment of his frends. Meanwhile, we asseri that the Union has seen no such endorsement and never will. Garbled extracts and broken sentences from private letters are bad material by which to sustain a good cause. If justice bas been done to Gen. Cass and his friends the ready avowal of the fuct can be obtained from him; if injustice has been done he will embrace only an appropriate occasion to make known his views, and not be driven to petulant pro- tests, and to the scurvy tricks of mere spoils- politicians. for a remedy. We assert again that Gen. Case has been totally overlooked at Wash- ington; but that he is willing to wait for a re- turning sense of propricty, and to hope for a restoration of the administration to the coun- cils of disinterested statesmanship. If Governor Marcy's spoils machinery works well, why is it that he should thus enrrepti- tiously avail himself of the services of General Case to keep it in motion? A good cause is generally its own best defender; the one that is sustained by certificates and hearsay testi mony, to say the least, is questionable credit If General Cass and his friends have been wel treated, surely it needs no donbtfal assertions and sly serenades from the organ to satisfy and put them to sleep. The machinery of party does not make history; assertions are not evidence; wishes are not horses; politi cians are not statesmen; organs are not always musical; men are not omnipotent— ——— — We are on dangerous ground, Who knows how the fashions may alter: The doctrine to-day that is loyalty ’s sound To-morrow may bring us a halter. We commend this philosophic sentiment to the Secretary of State, and perhaps some in- genious artist may set it to music for the spc cial use of the admirers of the organ.

Where are our great men? eries some Jauda- tor temporis acti. Where is Clay, Oalboan, Websterg and a host of others whose genius ebed glory on our land? Gone! Alas! the whole host has fled. Col. Benton and Gen. Cass stands alone, the sole survivors of that famous phalanx of intellects which raised America to a par with the oldest nations, and first taught the foreigner to regard us with respect. All gone but they! The burning words which were wont to thrill to men’s hearts, the noble aspirations that stamped a god-like supremacy on him who conceived them, the patriotic deeds to which we owe no small share of our present great- ness—all are now mere food for the historian. We who have stood by and listened when they spoke, can trust to memory to revive the pic- ture, but those who are fast springing up around us will need to consult the chronicler’s page toknow that they lived. Looking around among their successors, and contrasting the dead past with the living present, they will naturally exclaim, “There were giants in those days.” Nor does America stand alone in this respect. Where are England’s heroes? Where the men who raised the French name to such a pinnacle of glory? Can a Hardinge console the soldier for the loss of a Wellington? Is a Russell any compensation for a Peel? There, as here, names fondly cherished in the public mind for a large segment of'a century are fast passing intd obli- vion. Deatb has swept off the highest heads ; and if his scythe has not reached a Breugham and a Macaulay, so sad is the spectacle of en- teebled intellect and shattered energies that it were perhaps a mercy to lay them by the side of their youthful competitors. Where are they who shall grasp the mantle that is falling from their shoulders? Where, in France, shall we tind men who can claim the heritage of a Tally- rand, a Ney, a Napoleon? Cotemporaries of theirs still live and wield power in other coun- tries: Nesselrode and Metternich hold still the pen of State with which they signed treaties and compacts to which these illustrious dead were parties. They nave aisappearea ; and not vty they, but a whole generation of statesmen who followed them have been swept irom the field. Dead are Chateaubriand, Laffitte and La- fayette ; and if Thiers and Guizot survive, the one is giving parties, the other writing dramatic eriticisms. One must look long and closely at France before a single great man can be discovered. The Galerie des Contemporains Ilustres, published some eight or ten years ago at most, hardly contains a living name. All or nearly all the illustrious men have paid the debt of nature. Must we then, with sorrow and despon- dency, infer that the degeneration of the hu- man intellect. about which old people say so much, is an established fact? Must we write ourselves down as the inferiors of our fore- fathers, and look: forward to a posterity more ignorant. more helpless still? Not to our thinking. We are, on the con- trary, clear in our vain assumption of supe- riority. We think ourselves a vast way in advunce of ourfathers. We have all they had, and besides we see around us telegraphs and steamers, and railroads and printing presses, and worlds of machinery, which they had not. We see new discoveries in botany wherefrom medicine is simplified, in chemistry whereby labor is economized, the earth fertilized. and the corporeal man embellished—in other branches of physics, wherehy onr leasehold of thisearth is rendered more comfortable and more pleasant. We see toleration established where bigotry used to reign. We practice humanity where our ancestors scarcely ven- tured to preach it, We have fewer poor in proportion to our population, and for those we do more than they ever attempted Among us there are more writers than there were readers among our forefathers. We have more preachers than they had listeners—more poli- ticians of eminence than they had voters. To conclude in the teeth of these facts that we are degenerating, is, to our mind, to fly in the face of experience. Nor does the apparent lack of “great men” falsify the proposition, There was but one Homer when the [liad was written ; but one Pericles when Athens was at the apogee of greatness ; but one Cx Gaul was conquered and the repul thrown. By the side of these he was a herd of ignorant, selfish, unc hoors, by contrast with whom those whose names have taken rank in history acquired a new efful- gence. They owed their greatness in a large measure to the insignificance of their fellows. So too, perchance, though ina less degree, Cal- houn, Webeter and Clay, stood oat in bold contrast to the crowd of mediocrities who sur- rounded them. Now, on the contrary, every man possesses both intelligence and acquired knowledge. You will seek in vain among the American public ot the day ignorant dullards such as those who serveil as foils to Pericles in Athens. to Cicero in Rome. to Pym and Hali- fax in England, to Clay and Webster among us. Every storekeeper knows something of politics and the world, has read and thoaght, and from his own knowledge and experience has formed opinions on which he can rely. The distance between him and the leaders of the world’s mind is less. Hence, as a tower seems lees elevated when snrrounded by lofty build- ings, our great men of to-day appear to occupy a less majestic supremacy than those whose towering might was get off by the grovelling inferiority ot their fellows. Greater they may not be ; but we doubt much that they are less, Time alone can tell which generation hag done the most for the world’s advancement, Ovretayptne Natrona, Ciams Between America Ayn Exouanp—Tae } TREATY OF Serriemest.—We publish to-day an ciito- rial taken from the ecolumna of the London Times of the 26th of August, relative to the approach meeting in the En: h capi- tal of the members of the “mixed commission for the setilement of all outstanding interna- tional claims” which have accrned between the people of the United States and the snbjects o!

It is not often that our news from South America affords matter for congratulating the people of any of the various States into which that continent is divided. We are agreeably surprised by @ perusal of the report of the Foreign Minister of Peru, presented to the Congress of that republic, now in session. The last event of note that we had occasion to chronicle, in connection with Peru, was the prospect of hostilities between that State and the Colombian republics. It will be remem- bered that not long since the famous Flores made another attempt to overturn the govern- ment of Ecuador, and actually fitted out an armament which was to restore him to his lost power and dignity. These military prepara- tions were made in Pera; and Ecuador and her sister States Venezuela and New Granada not unnaturally exclaimed against the conduct of their neighbor in tolerating the equipment of a piratical expedition within its borders, Peru protested—feebly enough, in truth— against the imputation of complicity with Flores; but the Colombians were not satisfied, and withdrew their representatives from the Peruvian capital. This unfortunate state of affairs lasted some months, to the great detri- ment of the commerce of all the countries concerned. Sr. J. M. Tirado, the Peruvian Minister, now informe us that the difficulty has been definitely arranged, and that the various republics of South America are living together in peace and amity. How far this statement is borne out by other informants we shall pre- sently inquire. But there is no doubt that Flores has ceased to be a bone of contention, In fact, after his failure. whatever private views the government of Peru may have had, it would have been arrant folly to espouse his cause openly. The Peravians acted a more politic part in turning him out of doors, and allowing him to build schemes of future insurrections at Santiago, in Chili. where he now resiaes. Mol- lifed by this friendly proceeding, the govern- ment of Ecuador and ner sister States setract- ed their hostile language, and resumed dipto- matic intercourse with Peru. Almost simultaneously with this semi-quar- rel, another difficulty, which at one time threat- ened to assume far more formidable proportions, befel Peru. Modern chemistry had invested two or three barren rocks, at a few miles dis- tance from the Peruvian coast, with a very important value; and straightway the two great maritime nations of the world—the Unit- ed States and England—endeavored to help themselves to the islands. The world remem- bers how great a commotion was excited by Mr. Webster’s plea in favor of the United States claim to the Lobos and their guano. Pern was withia an ace of fighting. Commodore McAu- lick was on his way to the scene, with guns double-shotted, and crews eager for a brush. Never had the world so narrow an es cape of a bloody battle. Fortunately for our . fair fame, however, Mr. Webster’s error was discovered in time, the pugna- cious squadron was recalled, and Peru’s title to the Lobos was honorably recognized. With equal liberality, the government ot the repub- lic did all that lay inits power to protect American shippers from loss in consequence of the change in our policy and views; cargoes were furnished them by the government, and, so far as we can learn. none of the fleet which set sail on the strength of tho famous lettor to Captain Jewett lost money for their charterers. The termination of the imbroglio in so happy a manner affords Signor Tirado another occa- sion of congratulating his fellow-subjects; and we are glad to join our felicitations to his. On the whole. contrasting the foreign relations of Peru, as depicted in the report of the Foreign Secretary, with her position towards her neigh- bors and other nations two or three years ago, it is impossible not to see that progress has been made. New commercial treaties have been executed with the great powers, and the inter- nal administration in matters relating to trade has apparently been much improved. We re- joice to see that Peru is alive to the importance of throwing open the Amazon to foreign vessels; and.we trust that when the international conven- tion now in progress between Brazil, Peru and their neighbors, is given to the world, it will be found worthy of the liberal tendencies of the age. This is the bright side of the picture. If we turn to the reverse we shall see war—civil war —raging ona small scale, it is true, but still virulently, throughont the South American States. Ecuador hag barely recovered from the commotion excited by Flores’ invasion, Vene- zuela isa prey to a conflict between an insur- gent party and the established authorities. At our last accounts the government was in the ascendant. Disheartened by reverses, the revo- lutionists had in many places laid down their arms. Cumana, while in their possession, had been destroyed by an earthquake ; and several of their chiefs had deserted their ranks. Hence the government looks forward with confidence tothe restoration of tranquillity. Those who are fumiliar with the character of the Venezue- lane will see nothing more in the fact than the prospect of a brief truce. Farther south, the war between Bolivia and Peru is being actively prosecuted. The Peruvian forces have invaded Bolivia.and the inhabitants of the latter State are resisting manfally. Pera protests, as usual, that all she wishes is the good of Bolivie. The latter claims, not without some show of reason, to be the best judge of her own interests. So they fight, It would seem as though Providence had de- creed that the crimes and follies of the early Spanish colonists in South America should be expiated by their descendants throughout all time, aud that the Indian curse should blight them from generation to generation, A New Borcpiyo Exrerrrise.—We learn that an association has been formed in this city for the purpose of erecting several first class lodg- ing honees on the Parisian plan. Arrange- ments bave been made to build the first, as an experiment, in the upper portion of the city— we believe in the Fifth avenue.

The plan is an attrac- tive one, and if well carried out the enterprise will commend itself to public approbation. The rent of dwelling honses ia at present so enormously high in this city that persons with moderate incomes cannot afford to rent decent honees, and the necessity for some euch plan o tnilding being introduced into New York has long beca telt, ie another, gene POSTSCSIPT.

The moneyed world was by no means re-as- ured by this announcement, and on the 29th a sort of semi-panic was produced by an article in the Journal des Debats professing to give the substance of the “‘unimpor. tant alterations” which bad been made by the Saltan, If the version of the debates bea correct one, the note would bave to be entirely remodelled, and it must be con. sidered very doubtfal if tke Emperor would accept the alterations. Thus the negotiations would have vo oom. mesce almont de novo, and the Porte is thereby, playing into the bands of Russia because a pretext for delaying the evacuation of Danubian Principalities, would be af- forded, It depends, therefore, entirely upon the Russian Cear to re-open the question, or not, just as he chooses, ange- mentof the four great powers, if it suited his policy to G0 BU, Against this view of the caso and an evidence of a more pacific appearance of affairs, we find in the {Morning Chronicle, of the Slst ult., telegraphic deapateh from Vienna, stating that @ courier had reached that city from Cor stantinople, confirming the statement that the ver. bal alterations to the note of the four powers were really insignificant, and that the Porte had addressed a circular to the ambasrador of the powers, stating that its digoity required euch modifications, and that the Sultan would send sn ambageador to St. Petersburg, simultanecusly with the evacuations of the principalities, The London Times, of the same day, publishes a tele- graphic decpatch, dated Bucharest, August 17, te the effect that the Austrian Consul General having received despatches thatthe Oriental question was settled, the Russians would evacuate the princlpalities in September, and in Paris it was stated that the fleets of England would thereupon return to Malta ard Toulon.

Jviumn’s Concents.—Is there anybody in New York, who bas not heard Jullien? Is there anybody who has never seen Broadway of a sunny evening? Anydody who bas cever sought some shady spot where the ovol sea breeze might fam his heated cheek? If there be» miser able creature in this Gotham, who, with hid hand on his heart, cam answer yes, to one or all of these queries, we offer him our sincere sympathy. A few weeks ago, wo might have regarded the cooi breeze, all things consider. ed, as the most indispensable of these. When the days were Jong, the evening waik in Broadway was not to be despised. But now that the dsys have shortened, and the is lit at reven—that the sea oreeze is by no means an essential requisite to happiness—Jullien is unquestion- ably the one thing reedful. We say nothing of the ‘lustrious Caucasian as a com- poser. On that rcore we shail beas discreet as the dead men. But asa leader, itis beyond » doubt that Jullien is the first—the prince—of chefs Worchestre. All who have gone before him sink into insignificance before the wave of bis sceptre. Past glories vanish intosmoke; past reputations sbrivel into dust, as he takes his stand o1 his dais, and leans complacently on his gilded and vel- voted throne, There is an energy, @ soul in his conduct. ing that nobody has ever approached. Whatever of charlatanism there may be in ths approving nods of his hood, in the significant beck of bis finger, as Herr Kinig or Mydame Behrend perform their share of tho enter’ taipment—whatever striving for effect may be detected in his profuse gesticulation and “‘attitudinizing””—o se thing cannot be contested: ne ons ever made so much of airs that have been familiar to us from childhood as J Ne e, for instance, but he, could take so sim. ple a theme as his minuet quadrille, or bis grand waltz, and produce the effect he does.
