The News, Onur readers are referred to the first page for the atest intelligence of the movements of the Know Woething delegates at Philadelphia. The resolutions om the slavery question, adopted by the Platform Committee, are also given. They are identical with the intelligence upon this point heretofore publiah- e@ in the Henatp. A number of the delegates yes- ‘terday visited Carpenter’s Hall, the place where the Declaration of Independence received the sig- natures of the immortal fathers of the republic. Ap- propriste speeches, inspired by patriotic recollec- tions of the Revolution, were delivered. The allusion of Mr. McCall, of Florida, to the de- elaration of principles about to be promal gated by the convention, is significant, and worthy of attention. Preparations are making for a grand mass mectirg in Independence square, Phiiadel- phis,on Saturday next, when the platform of the American party will probably be submitted for ratification by the people. The Atlantic left Liverpool ;for th's port on the 24 imsteat. She is, therefore, now in her tenth day out. She brings one week’s later news. Her ad- vies are anxiously awaited by commercial men. In another column will be found the decision of Justice Bogart in the Sundsy liquor casss, wherein the proprietors of Lovejoy’s Hotel and others were charged, on the complaint of Heury P. Robinson, ef ‘tHe Carson Lesgue, with having sold liquor on their premises on the Sabbath, contrary to law. The magistrate, after due consideration, has decided to @ismiss the complaints. His reasons for doing 20 wili, no doubt, be read with great interest. Mr. Briggs—we mean Alderman “Sam” Briggs— ‘wactive. Yesterday he caused a warrant to b2 is- waed for the arrest of Raymond, Harper & Co., pro- prictors and editors of the Daily Times, on charge of malicious libel. The charge is founded on an asticle published in the Times of the 6th inst., re- flecting, in the Alderman’s estimation, upon his both cfficially and privately. wd of Aldermen last evening, for want of S quorum, adjourned until to-night, without trans- acting any business. The Board of Councilmen did nothing of importance. Most of the session was occupied in deciding between Washington equare nd Central pa:k ss a site fora Washington Monu- ment. The first named waa selected. A resolution appropriating $30,000 to pay the salaries of city officers was offered ard referred. ‘The Council Committees on Ferries and Police met at S o'clock yesterday, but did not transact any business of importance. A petition asking for the romping of boats over the Catherine ferry to Brooklyn, between the houra of 12 o’clock and 4 at night, was strongly opposed by the ferry company, The Committee on Wharvee, Piers and Slips, (same beoard,) advertised an important meeting, but did net organize. In the Board of Sapervisors last evening the ape- ial committee on increasing the salaries of the Justices of the Superior Court, the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas, the Sarrogate, the Recorder, and City Jodge, made & report, the pith of which is given in another part of today’s paper. It is ro commended that the salaries of these officers be eazh imoreased to six thousand dollars per annum, and there seems to be no doubt but that the racommea- Gatton will be adopted by the Board. The sum pro pored should, and no doubt will, secure the very bes! legal ability in conducting the civil and crimi- asl business of our courts. The proposition will come op ta the Board for discussion on the first Monday in Joly, when, it is said, an anendment to imorease the salary of the Mayor will be brought forward. In the Court of Goneral Sessions yesterday, Ly- man Cole, charged, In connection with Kissane, with forgery on the Coemical Bank, was again put on his @efence, the jury in the first trial having failed to find « verdict. After empannelling a jury, the Cour adjourned for the day. ‘The Maine Liguor law faror is reacting witha vengeance. \n Illinois the anti prohibitionists have recently defrated their opponents by a large mojo- my. Acanti prohibition mass meeting was held at Lanowter, Pa., on Saturday. It was largely at tended. The delegation from Berks county and the upper townships of Lancaster county exceeded a mile tm length. In Massachusetts, Rufus Choate, Miles Merwin, ©.G. Loring, and Sydney Bartlett, have delivered an opinion that the liquor law of that State is anconstitutional in its most important provisions. The Maine lawites are unfortunate in drafting their statutes. ‘The market for cotton was less active yesterday, but prices were steady; sales reached about 2,500 bales. Inferior and common grades of State fiour were ot about 12) cents per bbl. lower, while other @enctiptions were without change of moment, Wheat was dull; » sale of Upper Lake was made at $2 15. Cora was active, with large sales of Western mized at $1 8 $1 04, chiefly at $1 03 4 #1 03}, in chading lots for shipment; no sales of yellow or white were reported. Pork was firmer, with rather more doing. Other provisions were firm, with fair sales at fall prices, There was more activity in lead, with increased baoyancy in prices. Freights wore inactive, thoagh 1*,000 bashels of corn and 400 bales of cotton were taken for Liverpool at rates stated ig another colnmy. Im the South—What New Er Organi tm £ The State Democratic Convention “yf Geor. gia which assembled at Milledgevi"".¢ on the 5th just. has foreshadowe the tQurse which the more practical men in tae South are solicitous and all other States nullifying the Fugitive Slave law. What those measures would be, we need be at noloss to divine. Tae constitution prohibits the imposition of duties by one State on the products of another; but it leaves to each the right of ordering oa what conditions¢commerce and traffic shall be carried on within its borders. There is sothing in the constitution that woald be inconsistent with the enactment of a law in the slave States requiring that venders of the merchandise or produce of Massachusetts and other nullifying States should procure a license to be granted at whatever rates the Legisla- ture thought fit. Itisan open question whe- ther one State has a right to prohibit altogether the introduction or sale of the produce or manu- factures of another; but the better opiaion ap- pears to be that each State has that right, and whether or no, the mere trial of the point would probably attain the desired effect. We readin the old colonial records that the stiff-necked men of Boston once took a fancy to release from servitude the bond slave of a Virginian; that the latter, returning home minus his property, laid his grievance before the Virginian authorities, who instantly ordered that property to the value of forty pounds—the worth of the slave—should be seized upon the first New Englander whom the constable met in Virginia, and the proceeds of the seizure handed over to their defrauded countryman. After which proceeding, the men of Boston, we are told, practised more care in their dealings with their Virginian neighbors, and manumit- ted no slave they had not previously pur- chased. Human nature does not change; the people of Massachusetts in 1855 need to be dealt with in the same way that their ancestors were two hundred years ago. They require to be taught that if they intend to practise phi- lanthropy, the sacrifices it involves must fall on themselves, and not on their neighbors. In view of the events of the past few months in the East, it is impossible to feel any sort of indignation at the South for resorting to mea- sures of retaliation, though the injury they must inflict on the general trade of this section of the country would doubtless be severe, Passing on tothe other records of the Georgia convention, it does not seem that the platform proposed by the democrats of Georgia is likely to place the party in a better position than it occupied before. Indeed, the first thing which strikes the reader, on Jooking over their re- solves, is the probability that the convention was carried away by the news of the victory in Virginia, and displayed s rashness which it would not have done had Mr. Wise’s triumph left the leaders in full possession of their wits and their prudence. They seem to have ima- gined that the Know Nothings were killed outright, and that it was quite safe to stamp on their corpse. In pursuance of the same notion, the convention proceeds calmly to ostracise all Northern men whose opinions do notcome up to the Troup and Cobb standard in Georgia, They “are not willing to affiliate with any party that shall not recognise, approve and carry out the principles and provisions of the Nebraska Kansas act,” and soon. Having insulted the remains of the native American Order, and exacted from the Northern democrats a profession of orthodoxy which would narrow down their strength very materially, the State Democratic Convention of Georgia appropriately winds up its string of resolutions with a eulogiam on the character and administration of Franklin Pierce. This, then, is the platform on which the demo- crats go into the canvass of 1856. Uncompro- mising hostility to the Know Nothings, irrecon- cileable enmity to all men in the North who do not rejoice at the Fugitive Slave law, admire the slave trade between the slave States, and desire to see slavery established in all the new Territories—such is the basis on which the demo- cratic party in the South purpose electing their next President. On the other hand, Senator Wilson and his peculiar clique in New England intend to repudiate all connection with all men who are not ready to repeal the Nebraska law, re-establish the Missouri compromise, abolish slavery in the District of Columbia, repeal the Fugitive Slave law, and soon. Between the two of them it is quite plain to see that the palm of victory will not rest with either—unless those parties which are interested in opposing both should play openly into their hands. If the Know Nothings, in short, should split; if they should allow either section of the country to force upon them an exclusive plaiform for the purpose of keeping out the other; or if they should involve themselves in a discussion upon slavery which could only tend to quarrels and divisions, and divided action; the demo- crats might havea chance. Butcerteinly, they have thrown the lead thus far into the hands of the Convention at Philadelphia, and it will need more than common carelessness or wanton folly to lose it. Tre New Navat Boarp—Irs Pracrican Working —The Naval Board of revision ap pointed under the act of Congress passed in February last, will commence its labors on the 20th of this month. Their results are looked forward to with curiosity by the public, and with considerable doubt and apprehension by the profession. The principles upon whicn the reforms con- templated in the institution of this body are founded cannot be objected to by any one hav- ing the efficiency of the service at heart. But we are not satisfied that ite modus operandi is the best that might have been devised. The act directs that the Board shall make a careful examination into the efficiency of all officers in the grades of Captain, Commander, Licute- nant, Master and Passed Midshipman; and all officers found by them incapable of performing the duties of their respective grades are to be dropped from the rolls or placed in the order of their rank and seniority at the time upon a list in the Navy Register, to be entitled the re- served list. No forms are prescribed as to the manner in which the evidence of such incompe- tency is to be arrived at,'nor docs it appear that itis intended to call the parties for ex- amination before the Board. Are we to understand from this that the proceedings are to be secret, and that the powers of the Board are to be exercised in an arbitrary and irresponsible manner—at least so far as its independence of public opinion is concerned? Should this assumption turn out tobe correct, we apprehend that this commission, from which 0 much was anticipated, will neither give satis- ‘Ew YORK’ HERALD; TURSDAY, JUNM 12, 1668. faction to the public nor to the profestion, ‘The former will see with pain a practice hich has alwaye been made o ready instrament of tyranny, introduced for the first tirse into the administration of our public affelics, whilst the latter will be slow to admit th justice of deci- sions which fear the light. Unless, therefore, the proceedings of the Board are conducted in ® manner to invite seratiny, we fear that the task on which it is about to enter will be both as thankless and fruitless as that of the com- mission appointed to revise the Marine Corps a few years sizice. The next Congress will hasten to repair this fatal mistake of its predecessor by restoring the old bungling machinery and personne! that it may have displaced. Two Years or Santa Anna’s Sway.—Two years ago on the 20th of April last, General Santa Anne, recalled from his exile in Cartha- gena by the almost unanimous voice of the Mexican nation, entered into the capital as President of the republic, and was hailed with the most extravagant demonstrations of joy as the saviour of the country. Seated on his Pre- sidential chair, he was looked up to as the only living man who could heal the bleeding wounds of that unfortunate land. He had the power to do so; for the whole people bowed, it might almost be said, in submissive adoration before him. Years of sanguinary revolution had disgusted them with the horrors of intes- tine war, and the general yearning of the nation was for peace. There was then not a hostile element in life which could raise a bar- rier in the peth of peace and progression; and it was at once the belief and the earnest prayer of all who sympgthized in the misfortunes of Mexico, that und°r the guidance of her unde- niably ablest wan, himself not unacquainted with sorrow—haud ignarus mali—her bleeding wounds would b- healed, her commerce and ag- riculture yiyed, peace become lasting, and the cour tsed to a position among the na- tions.

His pride, too—which shoald hay been satisfied at the unanimous voice with which the nation confessed its former ingratitude to him, recalled him from exile, placed the reins of government in his hands, and made ovations before him, strewing, it may be said, “branches of palm in his way’’—blinded him to his duties, usurped bis reason, and led him to covet and to grasp, not the Presidency of the nation, based upon the love of the people and their apprecia- tion ot his great services, but an absolute and perpetual dictatorship, supported by the bayonets of his Pretorian guards. Old and mutilated as he is, he was caught by the empty tinsel of royalty, and with all the vanity of a girl longed to wear the imperial purple. To support his arrogant and silly pretensions he disposed of a portion of the territory of the nation; and with the proceeds thereof nego- tiated for Swiss hireling soldiers, purchased vessels of war, and by every means known to tyrants, sought to place himself aboye tha will of the people—a true despot. novel with a nation so eickened.and ex- hausted by intestine feuds aa poor Mexico, this reckless and imbecile course of Santa Anna could have but one result. It too soon became evident that Mexico had relied upon a broken reed, and that he whom she had hailed as her deliverer had not those qualities of mind which would justify the choice. Acts of petty tyranny and injustice on his part were manifested on every side; the country, instead of advancing in the ways of prosperity, was actually retrograding ; there ‘was no protection for life or property through- out the State; the soldiery, which should have defended the frontiers from Indian incursions, was kept'in the capital for the amusement or the protection of His Most Serene Highness—as he had the ridiculous vanity of causing himself to be styled; trade and commerce were in every possible way injured and oppressed, and the country seemed to lie helpless, powerless and nerveless at the feet of the dictator and his clique. But still it was not wholly dead; a petty chief, named Alvarez—a Pinto Iu- dion, exercising in one of the Southern departments an official and almost patri- archal sway—gave offence to Santa Anna, in contemptuously refusing a decoration of the order of Guadalupe, was nctified that he was superseded in his governorship, refused to acknowledge the power of the dictator, and finally raised the standard of revolt and took up arms against the government troops. With almost unvaried success on the part of the rebels, the revolution has spread throughout the country. Its leader has assumed adminis- trative powers in all the States where he holds sway; his troops have advanced within a few leagues of the capital, and now, as our despatch from New Orleans informed us yes- terday, the whole country is again in arms. And yet Santa Anna, with his insane vanity, has been making a tour to some distance in an opposite direction from the revolutionists, has been receiving addresses from the little towns through which he passed, has been marching under triumphal arches, and pub- lishing through his slavish press the most fal- some encomiums on himself and the valiant deeds of his army, and with bold effrontery as- suring the residents of the capital that the revolution is drawing to a close. Such is the folly, such the absurdity of the man. True, the revolt is approaching a finale, but its denouement will show the vain and imbecile hero of Vera Croz once more an exile and o fugitive. His villa and cockpit may be again set in order for him at Carthagena, for there we think he will soon have the only opportunity of ruling as a despot and of watching the chances of the field. And for that alone have the last two years of his life warranted his com, petency. Whether his poor, persecuted country will ever recover from the injuries his sway hos inflicted pon her, and ever enter upon a great national career, is a question in which the probabilities are decidedly in the negative. His obsequious press endeavors to kindle a hos- tility of race against these United States, but we ween their hostility and their efforts will be better directed in hurling the despot from, the seat where he had once such « glorious “spor- tunity of serving his country, bat where he has only exhibited qualities worthy of a snob, a fool and a craven. Two yearsagoh’s re-entered the scene in honor; now he is aboat to leave it in dishonor, and carrying away with him, aot the blessings, but the malisons of a deceived and injured people. A Free Faru ror Bverysopy.—Our read- ersare aware that Congress passed a bill at its last session, under the provisions of which apy person who has ever been engaged in any war in this country, or who has been present at apy engagement—including clerks, wagon drivers, mule men, and so forth—their widows or minor children are entitled to one hundred and sixty acres of the public domain. If they have previously received forty or cighty acre ‘and warrants (issued for service in the war of 181215) they are entitled to a quantity suf- ficient to make up one hundred and sixty acres. Hardly three months have elapsed since this bill became the law of the land, and we find that one hundred and seventy-nine thousand three hundred and eighty-two applications have been received, and that the number is soon ex- pected to reach two hundred and eighty thou- sand. To satisfy these, thirty-five millions of acres, or nearly fifty-five thousand square miles, of land will be required—that is to say: go- vernment will give into the hands of specula- tors u territory somewhat larger than the State of New York, and equal in area to the four principal New England States. It is expected that one-third of this extensive farm will be given away this year, and land warrants will be issued at the rate of five hundred per day. Under acts passed within the last eight years, twenty-five millions of acres had been given away for actual service in Mexico, making a total of seventy millions of acres donated during a little less than ten years. The area of public land which may be put in the market at avy time—less the quantity above stated—is estimated at five hundred millions of acres; and thus it seems that one acre out of every seven has been given away. People with pastoral ideas may imagine that the old soldiers take their warrants, locate them, and, like so many Cincinnati, devote them- selves to the tillage of the soil until they shall hear a summons to serve their grateful country = more and get another warrant. But this vaistake. The old soldiers donot do any The warrants pass at once into the rs, and from them they go to ‘ko can eford to hold on for ‘vty-<i Yousand) of the sof the Mexi- hey are ly- the poor te, sercy of the a sible, We y or seventy du. hundred at the m. land.

We should think so, for land is worth, and will bring at any time, fui fifteen cents more an acre than they are willing to pay for it. The brokers buy in the warrants at this discount, and sell them at the govern- ment price, and thus they will make out of the old soldiers some two or three millions of dol- lars. What the speculators, who can afford to hold on to the land. for ¢vo Or ten years, will realize, we could not venture to guess. Bat the brokers and speculators, not the old soldiers, have thus far received the benefit of this bene- volent act of Congress. These facts require no comment. They may serve to open the eyes of persons who will here- after receive land warrants, or who have not yetsoldthem. They should obstinately refuse to part with them for a less consideration than | the government price—-one dollar and twenty- five cents an acre. That is low enough. Decrease or Emtaration.—The official re- ports of the Commissioners of Emigration shows that there is a decrease of over one-half in the number of emigrants landed here this year, as compared with last. The figures are :— Arrived to 30th June, 1854. 108,944 do.’ 1885 48,354 ee 60,590 An attempt is being made in certain quarters to ascribe this falling off to the agency of the Know Nothing movement; the object being of course to frighten the Know Nothings by hold- ing out the prospect of serious dimiaution in our supply of raw labor from Europe, The facts warrant no such inference. Our immigra- tion proceeds mainly from two fountains—Ire- land and Germany. Of these two countries, the former is at present in the enjoyment of a tranquillity and a well-being that have been strangers to her soil for over a centary. This arises from the working of the Eacumbered Estates Court. Most of the large estates have been parcelled out, have fallen into the hands of resident owners, and have obtained—what they sadly needed—a moderate outlay of capi. tal to complete their developement and ensure their productiveness. English and Scotch capi- talists have purchased homes in the Emerald Tsle, and carried with them their industry and their agriculture. The abortive movement of 1848 has been followed by @ result even better for the country than that sought by its promo- ters; it has rid Ireland of the plague of domestic atrife, shown the utter folly of insurgent move- ments in that country ¢o long as the priestly do. minion lasts, and taught the people to direct their energies towards the solid pursuits of agri- cultaral and industrial life. Add to this that ever since 1847 Ireland has been thinning her people by ® steady stream of emigration—at the rate of say « hundred thousand a year— and it will be seen that there exist abundant reasons for the diminution of the number of emi- grants, quite independently of political move- ments on this side the water. When « man can do well in his own country, he does not usaally seek another. The Irish are doing well, the farmers are comfortable, the landowners are recovering, trade is prosperous, the demand for labor steady, and even the hot blood of young Ireland finds safe vent in the armies of Great Britain. ‘These things are so obvious that it was hard- ly worth while to repeat them here: except for the benefit of those few who have not observed the peculiar and invariable fatality which dooms the editors of Irish papers and Irish ora- tors, in Americs, to blunder in every statement they make. From what cause the circumstance prices, we will not undertake to say; but no one with any experience ean fail to see that those Irish politicians who are now endeavoring to ascribe the falling off in our Irish immigra- tion to the progress of Know Nothingism, are merely fulfilling the destiny of their race, and adding one more to the long list of Irish blun- ders. The statement would be equally false of Ger- many. In most of the German States, every able bodied man is held to service in the Jand- wehr or militia. To leave his country, he must be able to purchase s substitute, or have served his time. When this law is borne in mind, the wonder appears not that the stream of German emigrants should be diminished, but that it should ever have reached the enormous dimensions we have witnessed of late years. It may safely be said that the remittances to Germany for the purchase of substitutes during the past five years, must have equalled, if they did not exceed, those to Ireland. The war will have bad a tendency to raise the price of ex- emption beyond the reach of most purses ; why need we seek other causes for the falling off in our German immigration? Tan Cunan Junta—Licut Wantep.—We have not yethad any statement from the Cuban Junta of the circumstances of their recent wholesale victimization. It is said that there have been some curious transactions, in which they are concerned, in connection with the chartering of the steamers United States and St. Lawrence. Is that so? And if so, are they the victimizers or the victimized? What say the Cuban Junta, and what says their trea- surer, Mr. Domingo de Goicouria? Gentlemen, come up and plead. The public requires it, and the people want it. THE LATEST NEWS.
