MISUELLANEOUS.

The free soil administration soft shell fac- tion of the New York democracy hold their State Convention at Syracuse tc-day. Four delegates have been cailed for from each As- sembly district, amd a larze number of the dis- tricts have made their elections accordipgly. Nearly al) the old wire pullers who have sur- vived the great drougdt will be there—Captain Ryunders, Heury Arcularius, Isaac V. Fowler. Jobn Cochrane, Loreazo B. Shepard, and Ben- jamin Welsh being among the number elected. In the absence of John Van Buren, we presume that the management of the convention will chiefly devolve upon Captain Rynders and Jobn Cochrane. : The first difficulty, after the organization, will be a candidate for Governor. Men of straw will do for the State ticket. but it is of the first importance that the candidate for Governor shall be a man éompetent to bring out the full strength of the fuction. Governor Seymour would undoubtedly be their most available man. Some have been a little fearful concerning his yeto of the Maine liquor law; but that could not damage him, because the | administration democracy, almost to a man, are constitutigna'ly opposed to the projects o/ the temperance alliance. There ia nothing among the rembants of the Albany regency ; nothiag among the custom house organization ; nothir g in the antecedenis of Tammany Hall, or ia its ‘present platform; nothing but deadly opposi- tion to the Quakerly notions of total abstinence from all intoxicating drinks. Therefore would Horatis Seymour, upon his veto of the liquor bill of last session, be the most available, and the most consistent nomination, upon the Nquor question, which thaso ¢ shells conle +i $ understood that he wont accept the soft shell nomination’ upon ony terms. It is not worth having. He perempto rly declines in advance. The gentleman who accepts it must be exocedingly huagry for a little notoriety, aud yet, we suppose, they will find their man. One of the most sagacious of the. soft shell organs has pfoposed that the administration tection, considering “ by-gones as by-gones,” make a merit of necessity, and rally upon Judge Bronson, This would prevent that ex- posure of weakness which is co much dreaded, and might possibly restore, at leasi, a teraporary appearance of democratic harmony, But Broa- son is not the man for Guthrie, and we nore than half suspect that Messrs, Fowler, Cochrane and Rynders have beca, duly informed of that fact. Any other man thaa Broason—oven Dickinson—could be evallowed, for tho sake of aston, and for the sake of the spoils, but Bronson is too much. It will be a most extra- ordinary act of conciliation, oa’ the part of the sdministration, should they consent to take Brovson, and thus plead guilty to the inidict- ment of the bard shells, and ask for their for- givences. This is hardly to be expected. We rather in. line to the opinion that there is no other elter- votive for the deserted soft shells, tuan a tickot of their owneout-and-out. Joho Van Baren vould answer very well ander the oirvum- tances for Governor; tor John is clastic and vigorous, and in thé prime of life. He might aud a popular defeat or two and still calcalate npoa futare promotion. Bub the Pringg nas, —that the administration had nothing in the world to do with it; and that itis the duty of the democratic party to repudiate it as a whiz nuisance. Now, this radicw difference upoa Nebraska, between the spoils delegates of this city and the honest farmers from the interjor, mag result in very cogsiderable difficalry. Porsibly a split and the dispersion of the cov- vention may follow. But we confess that w have no fear of such a painful conclasion to their labors. ‘ We anticipate a very soft and elastic plat form, a separate ticket, and an ignominious de- feat of the whole concern. In a word, we re- gard this administration party State Coavou- tion about as important to the result in No vember, as was the independent National Tyler Convention of office holders in 1844, to the Presidential election of that year, Nothing more, Liperty or Sprecn aT Cutcago—The aboli- tionists of Chicago have won another of their characteristic triumphs. A large number of the people of that city were opposed to the Nebraska bill: have held meetings and heard speeches against it; and encouraged political parsons, quartered among them, to write blas- phemous letters to Senator Douglas, upbraiding hi with his conduct in introducing it. On his return from Washington, the latter lost no time in announcing his intention of exculpating himself with his fellow-citizens. He demanded to be heard, and to be judged-out of his own lips. He asked the men who have been pouring out calumpies on his head for months for per- mission to justify himeelf in their sight. He sought thé exercise of a right which even in Chicago, is not denied to the felon, the murderer or the pickpocket. Yet this inalienable privi- lege—ibe right of defence—was refused, by Chicago to one of her most distinguished sons. A crowd gathered round the platform on which he stocd, and hooted and bellowed whenever he attempted to raise his voice. Boorish shouts drowned every syllable; and after a vain con- test of upwards of two hours, the Senator was baffled by a display of brute noise, such as, we -rejoice to say, has eeldom been heard. ia any city on this.continent. Aseailed ina manner equally unjustifiable, though in different way, and in the order of Gougretsional debate—John Randolph of Ros noke is known to have silenced a cowaroly antagonist with the withering repartee:— “The member boasts of am atiribute in which the negro is his equal, and the jackass his superior’ When the people of Chicago boast of their success in sileneing Senator Douglas, they too must recollect that they have achieved eminence in a pursuit in which the calf is their equal and the jackass their superior. As many calves, or half as many jackasses as there wer: men assembled round Douglas’ platform, would have cone the job more effectually end in s shorter time ; and of ihe two, we think the four- footed brutes would have shown to most advan- tage. , After this we hope the people of Chicago will remain steadfast in their abolitionist belief. The constitutional cause gains strength by such exhibitions of the true character of ite foes: and men who silence a speaker instead of bearing and answering him, are fit allies for thé Gurricon and Greeley sect. A cardinal point in the abolitionist creed has always been to refuse argument, and to substitute in its stead declamution and abuce: free soilers never dis- cuss a principle or a practico—they call the one “a lie,” the other “villaoy.” Sumumarily dis posing of their antagonists by styling them iu a’ wholesale way “scoundrels and. thieves,” they relieve themselves from any necessity of examining their cause or testing its merits. The people of Chicago are proficients in this sort of tactics. ~* Tug CapineT ORGAN AnD THE Kyow No- THINGS —A recent numbér of the Washington Union devotes four or five columns to the casti- gation of the Know Nothings. It is doing its work pretty well, for upon the ground which it has taken, it is plain sailing. We are somewhat at a loss, however, to understand the deep interest which the Union betrays in the political for- tunes of the Hon. Joseph R. Chandler, one of the most active aud influential whig members organ thus reiterates its remarkable sympathy for Mr. Chandler:— This time honored whig—for nesrly a quartet of a con tory the oble editor of the whig orgsa ia Philadelghic— nent for bis virtues and ie talents—esteemei by iriend and foe, and for four years @ cistinguished mom Ler of Congcess—was named a8 ® candidate for re election to Congress at the last meetmg of the whiz con ference ix Philadelphia, and did aot reoeiva & single voir.

But he is a Catholic; and his party frienda—t!.ore whom he has served go long aw! et well —feariul of offending the religious fanstics ia tne Kaow, Nothing conspiracy, have whistled him off, as i he had no hoi: upon theif affeciions. An exhibition of proser tion and malevolence like thie should srouse tie ‘while community against it. This is very fine. But is this all that the ad. ministration people can do for Mr. Chandier? Why not ran him as their candidate, and thus prove their faith by their works? We are very much afraid that all this liberality and indigaa- tion of the Cabinet organ against the whigs may be simmered down to a.mere question of spoils, An outrage which ought to “arouse the whole coramunity against it,” surely ought to arouse the Cabinet, Srconp AVENUE AsskssMent.—Of all the arts of the Board of Assessors in this tax ridden clty, there probably bas not been a more fiagrant one in the way of extor loo, than that layiag av ascessment for opening and grading the Second evenve, In the first plase, the amount repre. sented to have been paid for grading was avout two or three times larger than it should have beep, and the amount of work performed was ony about ove half as mach as reported, Tho Corporation appear not to have been satisied with even this, bat have assessed for an azgre- ate expenditurg pearly double that agtaally of Congress from Penusylvania, The Cabinet |, “exprpss wagon was driven over an Alderman mode, There outrages would have heea quietly | eotmited to tal "he as es ors done simply t their duty in te matter, which was to make a fair, just, and equal assessment All the pro. | perty hovders Cesire is an eqvitable assessmeot; and that they cre determined to have, Severa’ mcetings have leen held by parties interested, beture the coumittee of the Commoa Couacit | appointed to receive evideace, and the state- | ments made showed mo.t conclusively that tue Qs-estors wore € ther grossly igaoransof their | duties or had other motives than a desire todo vustice io allm the levy made.

Ata recent” meeting in Kane cougty, they resolved, among other thinge— - * fo restore Nebraska and Kansas to the position of free Territories . To the repeal and entire ubrogation of the fugitive el. ve law. » To restrict s'avery to the States in which it exists lo prohibit the mn of soy more slave States into ihe Lfion.

In fact, from Maine to Minnesota, the whigs have substantially taken this ground, with some little variation upon native Americanism, and the Maine liquor law. It only remains, there- fore, for the whig convention for the State of New York to determine. whether the free soilers and abolitionists shall come over to the whigs, or whether the whigs shall go over to the Saratoga "party. Their principles are the same; the only difficulty isin the classi- fication of the mercenaries in reference to the spoils Upon that* rock we shall probably have another split at Syracuse. We look for it. The very air seems, tobe charged with party changes and political revolutions. PEPE acti ied ule PrE-EMPTION IN Kansas—-Notice To SeEt- TLERS.—Now that the current of emigration has fairly set in for Kansas, it would be well for settlers, in locating their claims, to bear in mind the following judgment of the Attorney General, adopted by the Department of the Interior as the law :— In fine; Bion is, that the act of Congres pre emption only in uch of thove lnuds codelfaa are ast Tequired Hrst to be offered at public rale ; that the lands ceded by the Delawarea, Iowas, ond Weas, under condi- tien of bret being oflered at public sae, are no more opened to preem,tion by the act of Congress than was the militezy reservation at Fort Leavenworth ; that tmere lands capnot be taken up by settlers under claim ‘Of pre-emption; and that all claimsof pre emption there -wili be merely voia in law, and will confer no right, nor or hertefter, on which to demand the issue of a patent from the Commissioner of Public Lands, Moréover, it wilt be the duty of the President aoe pega force it need te, the slighted feith of the United States fu this pekalt, ‘This simply means. that all squatter rights on the lanis ceded by the Delawares, Iowas, and Weas, previous to the offering of such lands at public sale, will go for nothing. We pre- sume, however, that unless these lands are speedily offered, at public sale, they will in- evitably fall under the fundamental law of equaticr sovereignty. The administration must wait upon the emigrants if it would save trouble. They will not wait the tardy action of the administration, or avoid a good location under the mere opinion of the Attorney General. " OsstRcctions IN THE STREETS.—Some of these days, we shall all be shocked by hearing that General Scott, or Madame Grisi, or some honored citizen whom we all love and esteem has been knocked down in’ Broadway or one of the side strects by a furious ox, on his way to the slaughter house, and killed on the epot. It is wonderfal how the accidents of this nature that have occurred have all fallen -upon poor boys or emigrants whom nobody knew but their own friends, and whose death—duly chronicled in the “City News’—created no eoncern whatever. We cannot expect that this will always be the cace. Richi men as well as poor lads, ladies as well as emigrants’ children walk through our strects, and bulls are not known to feel a predilection for cotton over silk, or frieze over broddcloth. We must make upour minds to hear, before long, of the deat? of some one whose life we would preserve at any cost. : It might be prevented, of course, and would be, if the bi)] prohibiting the driving of cattle trough the streets which has passed the Board of Aldermen bw#receiyed equally well by the Board of Councilmen, sanctioned by the Mayor, and afterwards rigidly carried into effect. But we have seen too much of such projects to feel very sanguine-about the cffect of this one. Another reform which might be effected if people would only thiak it worth their while to take it in hand, relates to the recklessness ex- bibited in driving hacks, carts and omnibases through the streets. Only the other day, an whose life was saved by a miracle, The driver was punished of course’; and fined for driving without a license. But how many of us would act as energetically as Alderman Blunt ? Srevet Preacumye Rior3s—It is too bad that the Sunday cannot pass over without euch infamous scenes as those we recorded on Monday. If it is established that preachers cannot harangue mobs at the Battery or the Park without riots following as a necessary consequence, -it becomes a matter of scrions i inquiry whether steps should not be taken to curtail the nataral Uberty of the Angels Ga- briel until a healthier tone pervades the public mind, It would be a painful confession tor us to make in the metropolis of the ‘Union, that weare obliged to suppress street preaching because we harbor among us class or race of individuals whose temper will not brook any discussion of their creed, and whose only ar- guments are stones, sticks, aud knives, No other city of the size of New York would sub- mit to such ovtrages, Elsewhere, systematic assaults upon liberty of speech sich as every Sunday for the last three or four months hos witneseed here, would have created a neceasity for an open organization of the friends of con- stitutional freeion, and the disturbers of the peace would have been taught a memorable leseon. Men who cannot hear their opinions diecuseed by speakers of a contrary faith with- owt resorting to violence to answer him do not deserve the tenderness with which they have bith-rto been regarded. As they deny to others the blessings of liberty, they should themselves be deprived ofthem. At the same time, we by no means desire to approve those who constitute the staple audience of our street preachers. Men who want to bear Pro- testant doctrine preached can listen to it in churches, and siand in1o veed of dancing attepdance upon hair-brained en{busiasts like the Angel Gabriel : and when they prefer the open air periormance to the charch, the infer- ence is strougly adveree to their sincerity. ‘The New Law Courts for New York City. It is intended to erect this builiiag on the site of the old City Courts, in the City Hall park. Nomerous plans have been submitted by eminent ar- chitects. A committee to select and report on the plans has been nominated by both Boards. The committee of the Common Council have selected three designs. Their report will go before the full Board this afteraoon, after, which the subject will be taken up by the Board of Aldermen, who have also nominated their committee, on” which there are three builders; William Tucker {# chair- map, on whose judgment and action much reliance is Flaced. It does not follow that any of the plans eelected by the committee of the Common Council will be adopted. ‘The first, or No.1 plan, belongs to no particular style or ofder or architecture; merely o plain building, with grotesque window casings, and not even as respectable in sppearsnce as Yhe brown stone building in which the ‘ihe court rooms are too chambers, &c., too small, with but one sinall jury room for each court. There is but ove circular stairs to all the courts, &e., lit by a domo— in itself dangerous snd insufficient, besides affording no courts are held at present. large, and the Judgs ventilation to the different corridors and court rooms. No. 2 is something similar in arrangement, but differ- ing in the style of windows, having a flat roof, with the entrance on the Broadway end, over which stands the upright wall of a pediment, by way of an architectural ornament. No, 8 plan eeems to be a mixture of both these as ro- garde ite architectural style, but in arrangement falls short of the amount of aecommodation required.
