The grounds must necessarily be open to the influences of the elements, a fact which was most plainly demonstrated yesterday.

On the con rary, he con- tends that the bre.king down of the Missouri barrier opens she country South to free labor, and to the addition ultimately of »nother free State or two to the Union. The direct position of Mr. D.ck nson in his business is ncn-iater- vention, which he holds to be ex, edient because it is just, avd conatitutional, and right. He, therefore, subscribe. to the repeal, and abides by the law, claiming for himself the merit of this position, as taken in the United States Senate, a year in advance of the famous Nichol- son letter of Gen. Cass. In conclusion, taking these views of Mr. Dickinson at Delhi as the authorized interpre- tation of the h rd shell platform, the hards sus- tain the Nebraska bill, because it promulgates the doctrine of non-intervention and popular sovereignty, repeals an unconstitutional prohi- bition, and operates in favor of free labor and freeroil.

Speech of the Hon, Daniel 8. Diekineon on Nebraska and the Slavery Question, We lay before our readers this morning the speech of Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson, delivered the ot:erday at Delbi, on the parties and party politics of New York, and embraciog his views of the slavery qaestion in connection with the repeal of the Missouri compromise. Mr. Dickinson being the champion and leader of the hard shell or national division of the de- mocracy of this State, this speech may be con- sidered as a pronunciumento, defining not only his position, but the position of his partizans, both in regard to tie Nebraska qu:stion and the The hards wil doubtless re- gard it as the authoritative interpretation o: their Syracuse platform.

There was a little activity in the bu- siness office, where helf a dozen clerks were still busy recording entries, and also in thé committee roons, where Mr. Bogart was serving out badges and tickets to the Judges ina very brisk and business-like style.

Several of our jour- nals are quite shocked at Mr. Belmont leaving his duties to undertake the negotiation of a loan for the Czar: and gravely request the adminis- tration to supersedehim. What folly is this! Mr. Belmont, a Jew broker of Wall street, is chosen to represent the United States abroad : at the the rime of his appointment his business was notorious, and it was quite evident that so long as he was foreign Minister the United States Embassy would be converted into an exchange office. Again, the Cabinet which appointed him has been far more deeply im- mersed in financial operations than he has. What with the Gadsden treaty, railroad appro- priations. grants of monopolies and so forth, the members of Mr. Pierce’s administration have far outshone anything which Mr. Belmont may do in the way of méney getting and For them to blame him for what they have been doing themselves all along would be preposterous. He has faith- fully followed the example of Davis, Cushing, and the Kitchen Cabinet; and has probably made less money out of his Russian loans than they out of their railroads, and land specula- tions. They ought on the contrary to compli- ment him on the harmony existing between his policy and theirs ; and to bid him persevere in imitating their practices. the European mails will clous in this clty at balf-past ‘ten o'clock in the morning. he HERALD.

Crayton axp THE Kyow s.—According to the correspondence on the subject, which we publish to day, the Hon. John M. Clayton, of Delaware, is a Know Nothing. We thought as much when he was the Premier of Gen. Taylor, and frequently said so; but now we know it. over his own sign-manual that he is a Know Nothing—a hide-bound native American of the old school initiated into the new. But he says he is not a candidate for the Presidency, never has been, never wanted to be, never would be, and never will—not he. And yet his letter looks very much like a bold bid, in a modest way, for the “sweet voices” of the Know No- thipgs in 1856. Alas for that “rich Irish brogue with the illigant German accent!” All gone. No.more Te Deums by the whig old fogies to the blessed Saint Patrick; no more libations of lager bier. W. H. Seward has suc- ceeded in abolitionizing the whig party of New York; and now it appears that John M Clayton is in a fair way of transferring the State of De'aware to the Know Nothings. Still, it is likely that both Seward and Clayton will fall short. The one falls back at the quar- ter stretch, and the other is short-winded, but may win.

CommerciaL Prosrscrs,—The imports fer September we are told have fallen a million and a half short of those of the corresponding month of last year. This is good news for the dry goods men and the commercial community generally. On the other hand, notwithstanding the receipt of two millions last week from California, the banks showed a falling off last Monday of nearly a million of dollars, This drain of specie is a grave and ominous fact. We have already by this first week in October shipped to England as much specie as the entire export of last year: and there is no sign of the shipments falling off. If the curtailment of our importations does not continue on a large scale, the banks will soon find themselves in a tight place. But the imports will fall off.

This over issue wasa grea: loss to somebody, but to whom or what prties, we were now here to determine. Notwithstaulin; this heavy demand upon the New York and New Haven road, it must be borne in mind that the road yet remzined in all its unequalled prosperity. The State Cummission- er said lately, in passing over the road, there wes pot » better road ia this country. He thought it best in some amicable way to settle their difficulties, without going to law. All business men knew that the law should only be- resorted to as the last remeiy by those who had any regard for their pecuniary interests. He had endeavored todo all he could for the benefit of the concern, st the head of which—unfort: nately for himsel{—h: had be m. placed. A thorough investigation into the lu'e fraaie had been instituted. A capable accountant hai been appointed to investigate all the circumstances connecte® with the over issues, and he believed it had besa ascer- tained pretty clearly ia whose hands the stock held. He thought every share of it could now be traced to ite individual Elegies In regard to the propyr adjast- he icting views entertained by the holéere of the genuine and the frauiulent stock, Mr. Boardman said he cvild only counrel patience, forbeirance and feeling.
