THE LAST SYRACUSE CONVENTION, We give titis morning full reports of the very peculiar, piquant and interesting convention held r by the got shell democrats at S;racuse on Wed. nesday end Thureday of this week. We huve pre- viously given a sketch of the proceedings of the convention, as traramitted by telegraph; but the very full reperts by our special reporters will be found noue the less interesting on that account. In mapy respects the softshell convention was the moet important political gathering that has been held in this State for several yeors, and its pro ceedings will command the marked attcntion of politicians all over the country. RAVAGES OF THE YELLOW FRVER. The statements that we publish relative to the mortality from yellow fever at Savanuah present a melancholy picture. From the 27thof august to the 4th inst. eighty five persons feil victims, and still the disease increased. Th: penp'e seem to be panic stricken by the fearful visitation. Numbers have tied before the destroyer, the hotels and boarding honses have been closed, the commercial establish menig are shut up, and one of the da‘ly newspapers has suspenéed publication fer lack of workmen Bui it appears that it is not so much the mortality from tte disease as the great number of sick that his caused this painful desertion and desolation Many of the sick are poor, and are unable to procure prompt medica! advice and faithful nurses—inJeed, both doctors aud attendants are wora out by unre- mitting exertion. In view of this deplorable state of things, amecting of the cttizens of Savanoah now sojourning in this city was held at the Astor Honse last evening, and we presume prelimfoary steps were taken towards alleviating to some extent the suffer- ings of the inhabitants of the plague-atricken city. At New Orleans the epidemic has increased to such an extent that the Howard Associa.ioa has com menced tuking care of the patients, 1 The Late Farce at Syracuse—Opinions of the Newnpapexrs—The Prespect. Considerinx the late Syracuse Convention as wisding up the official history of the Pierce ad- mipistration party in New York, we have deemed it a matter of sufficient importance for future reference to publish the full details of the proceedings of this lamentable farce, as far- niched by our-own reporters. The iclegraphic outline, which we have already published, was well drawn; but now we have the filling up re- quired to bring out all the lights and shadows of the picture. We shall also publish to-mor- row, for the fullest enlightenment of our readers, the current opinions of our contemporaries of various stripes of party politics upon the general merits ef this lamentable fizzling out of the great New York spoils party of 1852. The importance whichwe atiach to this con- vention arives from the fact that it closes up the history of the ad ainistration spoils coalition in New York; reducing it, from a respectable fac- tion upon some remnants of principles, toa little knot of spoila politicians, whoee political aspira- tions are limited to the Custom House. A more formidable democratic platform then this last from Syracuse, prima facie, was never pre” sented; but upon inspection, it is very riekety, and stands upon a broken leg. We know not wliich most to admire, the cool impudence of the Nebreska dodge, or the inflexible obsti- nacy of a part of the convention to resist the nomina’tion ef Horatio Seymour “by acclama- tien.” Between these two stools the whol een cern fell. through the flooring. The counteg delegates, trueto the doctrines of the Bu‘Tulo coalition, after having indignantly vefused to straddle the tep-rdil of the Nebraska bill, could “hardig: have been.expeeted:to consent to a can- ported by Cochraye and Rynders as was Gov. Seymocr. They naturally concluded tat he, too, must be a trimmer upon Nebraska; and this suspicion they will doubtiess diifuse throughout the “rural districts.” What will bo the result inthe next cleetion may be par- tlelly conjectured. The only question fs, will the softs go into the fight at all, er will they permit the eloction to go by default, as between the whigs and hard shell None of our cotemporaries fied with the new Custom House platform. Tho Evening Post endoevors to be cheerful over it; but it is the cheerlulness of a hungry iroveller over a disk of dry bones. The convention de- claved that the repeal ef the Missouri comy mise was “inexpedient and unneeessary ‘bis grain of comfort in a bushel is all that the free soil abolition of the Post can discover in the ceedings worthy of special admiration, Bat it isa little curious that the Wall street con fidential organ of the late Onstle Garden U Safety Committee should seize npen the ve same resolution as farnishing a complete rati- fication of the Nebraska bill, and as affording a satisfactory basis for reunion of the hards and softs upon a mixed commission in tho election. The only difference between th Post and the Journa? of Commerce ia, that the one has the man of straw by the right leg on the Northern side of the fence, while the other bas bim by the left }eg on the Southern side, A few more such pulls on both sides, “all together,” andthe effigy will be split to the chin. The Post is quite welcome to all the consola- tion that it can draw from the vitiated do- claration that the Nebraska bill was “inexpe- dient and uanecessary ;” and if the Wall street organ can effect a junction with the hards apon this soft shell endorsement of toe measure, it will be doing a service worth to the administration more than double the ad- Vertising of ali the Custom Houses in the Uui- he satis- seem t chat pro: didate for Governor so exthusiastically sup-" Nothing. But had the occupant of the White House known in 1453 what he has since dis- covered concerning the preposterous folly of official ineelence an@ brutality in the healing of party troubles, Guthrie would have been every inch “a gentleman and a scholar” in his corres pondence with Bronson. New it is too late. The Custom House is valiant; but its party is enfeebled and demoralized. Still they must fight. The bards ask no favors, and the ad- ministration spoilsmen must meet them in de- fence of Guthrie, or both Guthrie and the ad- ministration are publicly disgraced. Will Seymour accept the empty honor a:- corded him? Has he all that affection for the soft ehell cause which will be necessary to car- ry him through the first week of November a3 their standard-bearer? Consenting to bear it, can he bear it solong? Does he not hear the warning voice of the Know Nothings; docs he not know that -the True Morning Glory has sown distrust and rebellion broad and thick among the otherwise well-disposed Irish Catho- lies? Does he not feel that he is but a make- shift in the canvass, with no unity anywhere— not even among the lager bier party—ia his support. 4 We must wait for some response from the (o- vernor. If he persiets in declining, will the softs retire into Coventry? We cannot say. It is a delicate question. But if he consents to Tun, under the circumstances. of his position as developed at Syracuse, then we are free to commend his self-sacrificing magnanimity in standing between the administration and the crushing blow of the ignominious defeat which awaite it. Let us hear from the Governor. Tae Way tHe Coat-Miners ManaGEe 3t.— ton of questionable coal, to the disclosures con- tained in a recent number of the JAfiners’ Journal, the organ of the coal-mining interest. It is stated by that reliable periodical that op- crators have it in contemplation to suspend shipments of coal for a week or 80, in order to “sustain the trade abroad,” or in other words to give the article a fictitious value by cartail- ing the supply. It has long been obvious to those familiar with the statistics of the coal trade that the present prices were exorbitant ; the supply having been largely increased this season, while no evidence of an unusual increase in the demand can be found. We have now that the others we have endured during the past year have proceeded from the same source. No good reasons can be shown to account for the rise in the price of coal from $4 75 to $8 in something like twelve months; and in the ab- sence of better information, the bulk of the com- munity will be very apt to conclude that the has been enhanced. robbing the public. rock of jealousy and avarice. Some miner will some day ecede from the extortionist junta, and then prices will come down by the ran, feel its power, and in the day of their need, laws of political economy, like the offender against the municipal law, cannot escape ulti- mate penishmont, Indignation at such a sys- tew of whelegale robbery wil! stimulate com- acres of coal lands ss good as those of Mary- land .and Pennaylvania: capital will develope their cesources; and the “ combination,” when it retuzns to honesty and fair prices, will find formidable and popular rivals in the field. cleded in the produots' which are hereafter to ve interchanged betwees' ihe British Provinees and the United States free of duty, we could buy the best bituminous coal in New York for $4 285 tou. The jealous fears of some few protectionists sacceeded in effecting its ex- clusion from the benefit of tii? treaty. Wenow sce the consequence, in the 4° or $4 extra we pay for the article. Our present course is plain en ough. The re- ciprocity treaty has yet to be rat, \fied by Nova Scotia, and there is every reason to hope that that province will withhold its sm vtion until its staple product, coal, is included in the ex- change, Any resistance on its part y “ould af- ford us an opportunity of correcting om," error, and supplying the omission.

With these notions of the French character, our feel- ings may ‘be conceived when we read in a re- cent number of the Journal des Débats of Xavier Raymond, and settling the Cuban ques- tion entirely. M. Raymond feels convinced that the whites of Cuba desire annexa- tion to the United States, and recommends as the only means of preventing their attain- ing this object, that the negro slavesin the island be emancipated by Spain. This, he thinks, wonld not be likely to please the Creoles: but “the Spanish government cannot refuse to follow the example of the other na- ,”? and such a consideration as this should outweigh the hopes and wishes of the We beg to draw the attention of the poor peo-} Cubans. Our object in secking to annex Cuba, ple, who have recently paid eight dollars for a according to M. Raymond, is to provide a mar- ket for our superflaous slaves; and if slavery were abolished in Cuba, our hankering after the Queen of the Antilles would at once be checked. Cuba might of course be ruined in the experiment ; but then “a fresh homage would be rendered to the most elevated and the most salutary principles,” and this is Thus pleasantly dis- courseth M.

In other words, we imported something like three millions more last August, with every prospect of disaster before us, than we did the August before, when the horizon was bright and promising. Some large share of these goods have been sent out on foreign account; but whether €hey were advarcc—or at least a large share of it—has | ©W?ed in Europe or in this country, they must been the fruit of a secret plot among the miners torobtheir customers. Thus far they have suc- ceeded beyond their hopes. Coal has become a luxury, and in consequence the price of fer- riage, and a large category of mann‘actures It remains to b: seen whether this measure of success has not reduced the miners into a fatal confidence in their own powers; whether, in a word, they can ercct themselves into a monopoly for the purpose of Canapian Arratrs.—Matters look squally for the Canadian ministry.
